PURPOSE:Elastin for cosmetic obtained by solubilizing sterilely insoluble elastin with elastase sterilized with an ethylene oxide gas, blending it with a paraben as an antiseptic so that the formation of smell substance caused by the contamination of microorganisms is suppressed. CONSTITUTION:Elastase is sterilized with an ethylene oxide gas simply and securely without lowering its activity, and insoluble elastin is sterilely solubilized with the elastase. It is further blended with a paraben such as methylparaben as an antiseptic, heated at 90-100 deg.C, and filtered, to give elastin for cosmetic in the form of a solution or powder. The elastin and a mucopolysaccharide such as preferably collagen and/or chondroitin sulfuric acid, etc. are added to a cosmetic such as skin cream, etc., to give a cosmetic having improved texture of cosmetic, raised moistening effect, excellent protecting and improving action on the skin, etc. |
