7.Description:
(en)This application is a U.S. National Stage Application under 35 U.S.C. §371 of International Patent Application No. PCT/KR2010/001772, filed 23 Mar. 2010, which claims the benefit of priority to Korean Patent Application No. KR 10-2009-0024495, filed 23 Mar. 2009 in South Korea, the disclosures of all of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties. The International Application was published in English on 30 Sep. 2010 as WO 2010/110579.
TECHNICAL FIELD
This disclosure relates to a perfume composition and a cosmetic composition with anti-stress and relaxing effects.
BACKGROUND
Stress refers to a state of psychological/physical tension felt under an environment difficult to adapt to. If the stress persists, it may lead to physical diseases such as heart disease, gastric ulcer and hypertension or psychological maladjustments such as insomnia, neurosis and depression. In the industrialized societies filled with conflictions and competitions, most people get a lot of physical/psychological stresses while they try to adapt to the society changing in a complicated way. Moderate stress can be beneficial since it gives an impetus of life and promotes efficiency and productivity. However, since excessive stress may lead to diseases or even death, it is an important health risk factor. Accordingly, to recognize and manage stress well is essential in maintaining and promoting health.
The ways that have been proven effective in treating stress thus far include psychological or mental therapy, biofeedback therapy, progressive relaxation therapy, exercise therapy, or the like. Although the external cause of stress may not directly removed with these methods, they help people appreciate the various stresses occurring incessantly in their lives and get less negative effects on their health. Among these stress-relieving methods, aromatherapy is gradually gathering a lot of attentions. Particularly, use of aroma is increasing to provide a pleasant environment in the workplaces or public places. Especially, it is known that the essential oils used in the aromatherapy relive stress and maintain the balance of autonomic nerves and, thereby, enhances immune functions. According to a subjective evaluation study on the stress and aromatherapy, inhalation of aroma oils resulted in reduced stress in working environments.

TEST EXAMPLE 1
Measurement of Physiological/Psychological Effects of Perfume Composition
For the perfume composition prepared in Example 1, physiological signals including alpha wave in the electroencephalogram (EEG) of the central nervous system, mean pulse interval (mean R-R interval) the autonomic nervous system, skin temperature and skin conductance were measured. Details are as follows.
1. Test Subjects
Test was carried out on twenty healthy women in their 20s and 30s, who were not taking drugs and not anosmic. They were asked to avoid severe exercise or excessive drinking on the day before the test. They were also asked to avoid smoking or taking beverages, drugs or gums, which may affect the central nervous system and the olfactory sense, on the test day. Menstrual period of the test subjects was considered because it is reported that women's olfactory sense and mood are related with the menstrual period.
2. Test Samples
Test samples were the perfume composition of Example 1 (Table 1) and grapefruit oil (Comparative Example 1, specific gravity: 0.845-0.865, refractive index: 1.471-1.481) and bergamot oil (Comparative Example 2, specific gravity: 0.862-0.882, refractive index: 1.455-1.475) for comparison. Control sample contained no perfume at all.
3. Test Condition
Test was performed in an olfactory laboratory (4.8 m 3 m 2.4 m), with facilities for ventilation installed to reduce olfactory adaptation. The laboratory was also designed to be soundproof in order to maximize the subjects participation in the test and eliminate effect from the external environment during the test. The laboratory condition was maintained constant at temperature 25° C., humidity 40-50% and brightness 150-200 lx. After a test for one condition, the subject was allowed to take enough rest in order to eliminate effect from the previous test. The next test was carried out after ventilating the laboratory.
4. Test Procedure
Sensors to detect brainwaves and physiological signals were attached to the subject before a test. After allowing 2 minutes for relaxation, the subject was asked to close eyes and the sample was provided for 1 minute at a distance of 1-2 cm from the nose. For each subject, the samples were provided at random order, in order to avoid any order effect. The three samples containing perfume were provided by dropping on clean, uncontaminated cotton held in a brown bottle in 1 mL aliquots using a micropipette (Socorex, Switzerland). Physiological responses were measured while the subject smelled the sample and, after the test, the subject was asked to answer a questionnaire about subjective feeling.
5. Measurement Method
Brainwaves were measured using MP 100 system (Biopac, USA) and AcqKnowledge software (Biopac, USA) after attaching electrodes for brainwave measurement (Grass, USA) over the frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital lobes according to the International 10-20 system. Electrical resistance at each measurement location was 10 k or lower and sampling rate was set at 512 Hz.
Physiological signal measurement was made as follows. Electrocardiogram (ECG, CM5) was monitored after attaching ECG electrodes on the chest. Skin temperature and skin conductance (galvanic skin response) were measured by attaching sensors on the left little finger and on the left middle and ring fingers, respectively. For the physiological signal measurement, MP 100 system and AcqKnowledge software were used. Sampling rate was set at 512 Hz. Subjective feeling was evaluated using a translated Profile of Mood States (POMS: Japanese edition, 65 questions). The mood was evaluated as tense, depressed, angry, vigor, fatigued or confused.
6. Analysis Method
Brainwaves transformed into power spectrum values using a fast Fourier transform (FFT) method. a/(a+β+0+d) and β/(a+β+0+d) were calculated depending on frequency ranges. The monitored brainwaves were mapped using a brainwave mapping software (BrainMap 3D, Neuromedi, Korea). Hear rate variability (HRV) was calculated from the mean R-R interval of the R points detected in the ECG. Low frequency (LF: 0.04-0.08 Hz) and high frequency (HF: 0.15-0.4 Hz) values were calculated from the power spectrum. Skin temperature and skin conductance were obtained from the mean amplitude of corresponding waveforms. Each physiological signal was normalized with respect to the perfume-free condition. Mean and standard deviation values were calculated for the physiological signals and emotional and subjective feelings. Statistical analysis was made using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and t-test, using SPSS software.
7. Test Result
7.1. Brainwave Measurement Result
The alpha wave measurement result is shown in FIG. 1 . The activity of alpha wave for different samples was compared. Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 showed higher activity of the alpha wave. The alpha wave activity was higher in the right brain than in the left brain. In particular, the perfume composition of Example 1 resulted in increased alpha wave activity in the whole region. The fact that alpha wave activity is higher in the right brain than in the left brain means that the subject feels that the fragrance pleasantly. The perfume providing high alpha wave activity provides relaxation and comfort to the human body.
7.2. Physiological Signal Measurement Result
Hear rate variability (mean R-R interval), skin temperature and skin conductance measurement results are given in FIGS. 2 to 4 .
Comparison of the response of autonomic nerves to different fragrances (see FIG. 2 ), revealed that mean R-R interval was higher in Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 as compared to the control group. Especially, Example 1 exhibited a large mean R-R interval. A large mean R-R interval indicates that the heart is beating slowly, which means that the subject is feeling comfortable and stabilized.
Comparative Example and Example 1 also showed lower skin temperature (see FIG. 3 ) and electrical resistance of skin (see FIG. 4 ) as compared to_the control group. Especially, Example 1 showed the best result. Low skin temperature and electrical resistance indicate that the physiological activities are settled and the subject is feeling comfortable and stabilized.
7.3. Subjective Feeling
The evaluation result of subjective feeling is shown in FIG. 5 . The subjects were asked to report subjective feelings after providing the three samples. The perfume composition of Example 1 resulted in significantly lower points in tense, angry, fatigued and confused, as compared to control group, Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2. Thus, it can be seen that the perfume composition of Example 1 provides anti-stress and relaxing effects.
EXAMPLE 2
Preparation of Cosmetic Composition Including Helichrysum Extract
A cosmetic composition comprising the perfume composition of Example 1 and Helichrysum extract as effective ingredients were prepared in the form of essence as given in Table 2.

TEST EXAMPLE 2
Measurement of Physiological/Psychological Effects of Cosmetic Composition Including Helichrysum Extract
Test was carried out to objectively evaluate physiological/psychological effects of the cosmetic composition further comprising the Helichrysum extract. Test subjects, test condition, test method and analysis method were the same as Test Example 1, but test samples and test procedure were different.
1. Test Subjects
Test was performed on the same subjects as in Test Example 1.
2. Test Samples
Helichrysum extract was prepared by extracting Helichrysum , an annual or biennial grass of the family Asteraceae, through steam distillation or water or solvent extraction. The cosmetic composition of Example 2 was used to investigate a synergic effect resulting from addition of the Helichrysum extract.
3. Test Condition
Test condition was the same as in Test Example 1.
4. Test Procedure
Sensors to detect brainwaves and physiological signals were attached to the subject before a test. After allowing 2 minutes for relaxation, the cosmetic composition of Example 2 was directly applied on the face of the subject and physiological responses were measured. After the test, the subject was asked to answer a questionnaire about subjective feeling.
5. Measurement Method
Measurement method was the same as in Test Example 1.
6. Analysis Method
Analysis method was the same as in Test Example 1.
7. Test Result
7.1. Brainwave Measurement Result
The alpha wave measurement result is shown in FIG. 1 along with the result of Test Example 1.
The activity of alpha wave for different samples was compared. Example 2 showed higher activity of the alpha wave than Example 1. The alpha wave activity was higher in the right brain than in the left brain. The high activity of alpha wave means that the subject feels relaxed and comfortable. The higher activity in Example 2 reveals that the effect was further increased by the addition of the Helichrysum extract.
7.2. Physiological Signal Measurement Result
Physiological signals such as mean R-R interval, skin temperature and skin conductance measurement were measured in the same manner as Example 1. The results are given in FIGS. 2 to 4 .
Mean R-R interval was larger in Example 2 than in Example 1. A large mean R-R interval indicates that the heart is beating slowly, which means that the subject is feeling comfortable and stabilized.
Example 2 also showed lower skin temperature and electrical resistance than Example 1. Low skin temperature and electrical resistance indicate that the physiological activities are settled and the subject is feeling comfortable and stabilized. Thus, it can be seen that the contents of Example 2 provide better comfort and sense of stability than those of Example 1.
7.3. Subjective Feeling
The evaluation result of subjective feeling is shown in FIG. 5 . The subjects were asked to report subjective feelings after providing the cosmetic composition including the perfume composition and the Helichrysum extract. The cosmetic composition of Example 2 resulted in significantly lower points in tense, angry, fatigued and confused, as compared to control group, Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2 and the perfume composition of Example 1. Thus, it can be seen that the cosmetic composition of Example 2 provides better subjective feeling.
A variety of cosmetic formulations were prepared as follows.
