COSMETIC COMPRISING ANTIMICROBIAL AGENT AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cosmetic comprising a silver antimicrobial agent having high antimicrobial effects on microorganisms such as bacteria or fungi over a long period and highly safe for the skin even during use and to provide a method for producing the cosmetic. SOLUTION: The cosmetic comprises at least an oily cosmetic composition in which the silver antimicrobial agent is dispersed in an oily phase. In the case of the oily cosmetic composition prepared by dispersing and mixing the silver antimicrobial agent in the oily phase, the possibility of contacting water which is a farm for the bacteria/fungi is reduced and an antimicrobial ingredient is eluted into water by small portions from the time of producing the cosmetic over a long period without eluting a large amount into water in a short period because the silver antimicrobial agent is surrounded with the oily phase. Since even a small amount of the antimicrobial agent is sufficient to exhibit the antimicrobial activity when the silver antimicrobial agent is used, the necessary sufficient antimicrobial activity of the cosmetic can be sustained from the time of production over a long period.
