초록

본 연구는 천연 식물 추출물을 이용하여 화장품 제형 내에서 천연 방부제로서 효능을 확인하기 위한 목적으로 진행하였다. 선별된 15종의 천연 식물 추출물을 이용하여 병원성 세균(Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli)과 효모균(Candida albicans), 곰팡이균(Aspergillus niger)에 대한 paper disc법(disc diffusion method)과 최소저해농도측정법(MIC)을 이용하여 항균 활성을 측정하였다. 그 결과 가자, 오배자 추출물은 그람 양성인 S. aureus와 그람 음성균인 P. aeruginosa, E. coli 에 대한 항세균 활성이 우수하였고, 계피 추출물은 효모균인 C. albicans와 곰팡이균인 A. niger에 대해 우수한 항진균 활성을 나타냈다. 최종 선별된 3종 외 식물추출물은 효과가 없었다. 항균 활성 효과가 우수한 최적 조합비로 구성된 가자, 오배자, 계피 추출물의 혼합 추출물을 화장품 제형에 첨가하여 제형 내 방부 활성을 측정한 결과 상업적으로 널리 사용되고 있는 파라벤 혼합 방부제와 유사한 정도의 방부 활성을 나타냄을 확인하였다. 결론적으로, 화학 방부제를 대신하여 천연 식물 추출물로만 이루어진 넓은 항균 스펙트럼을 갖춘 방부 시스템의 개발이 가능할 것으로 사료되며 최근 다양한 문제가 제기되고 있는 화학 방부제의 단점을 극복한 천연 방부제를 함유한 화장료의 개발에 응용 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

This study was carried to investigate the efficiency of antimicrobial plant extracts as natural preservative in the cosmetic formulations. Ethanol extracts of different plants were tested using the disc diffusion (paper disc) method and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) method for their antimicrobial activity against the common poultry pathogens. Terminalia chebula and Rhus japonica (gallut) extracts exhibited antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. Cinnmomum cassia extract exhibited antifungal activity against Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger while the remaining plant extracts showed no activity. A study of the preservative efficacy of the cosmetic formular containing the T. chebula, R. japonica and C. cassia extracts demonstrated sufficient preservative efficacy against bacteria and eukaryotic test microbes. Also, the cosmetic formulations containing antimicrobial plant extracts more effectively inhibited the microoranisms than the mixture of traditional chemical preservatives. These results suggest that the mixture of antimicrobial plant extracts, T. chebula, R. japonica and C. cassia is incorporated as preservative in the cosmetic formulation and the mixture have considerable effect on its efficacy.
