[0047] The meaning of the terms used in the specification and the appended claims should not be construed as being confined to common or dictionary meanings, but should be construed as concepts not departing from the technical spirit and scope of the present invention on the basis that the inventors can properly define the concepts of terms so as to explain their invention in the best way.

[0048] Hereinafter, the present invention is described in detail. The present invention relates to a phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition, a hydrogen-generating spray device for skin care including the same, and a method of manufacturing the same.

[0051] In addition, the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition according to the present invention may selectively, further include a botanical extract. Here, the content of the botanical extract is preferably about 0.1 to 2% by weight, and the botanical extract is preferably an aloe extract or a citrus oil.

[0052] In a more particular embodiment, the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition according to the present invention preferably includes about 97.65% by weight of water, about 2% by weight of an undiluted phytoncide solution, about 0.1% by weight of gamma-poly L-glutamic acid, about 0.1% by weight of chitosan, about 0.15% by weight of an emulsifier, and the like based on a total weight of the composition.

[0053] In another embodiment, the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition according to the present invention preferably includes about 96.65% by weight of water, about % by weight of an undiluted phytoncide solution, about 0.1% by weight of gamma-poly L-glutamic acid, about 0.1% by weight of chitosan, about 0.15% by weight of an emulsifier, about 1% by weight of an aloe extract, and the like based on a total weight of the composition.

[0054] In another embodiment, the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition according to the present invention preferably includes 96.8% by weight of water, 1.5% by weight of an undiluted phytoncide solution, 0.1% by weight of gamma-poly L-glutamic acid, 0.1% by weight of chitosan, 1% by weight of an emulsifier, 0.5% by weight of a citrus oil, and the like based on a total weight of the composition.

[0055] Here, the undiluted phytoncide solution, as a phytoncide stock solution extracted from chamaecyparis obtusa trees, is preferably an oil from chamaecyparis obtusa trees afforested in or native to the southern provinces of Korea. Oil extracted from leaves of abandoned tress when thinning the forest may be used. In addition, a mixture of a domestic oil, which is extracted from domestic pine leaves, and a Japanese oil, which is extracted from xylem of chamaecyparis obtusa trees in Japan, mixed in a certain ratio may be used.

[0056] Meanwhile, when phytoncide is sprayed onto the skin, a part of the phytoncide and the like may evaporate, thus drying the skin. To address such a problem, a moisturizing agent capable of moisturizing the skin is included in the phytoncide composition.

[0057] Such a moisturizing agent preferably has a low viscosity so as not to interfere with spraying from a nozzle and to allow fine spraying of a composition including the moisturizing from the nozzle. In addition, use of the moisturizing agent is preferably minimized.

[0058] When the viscosity of the moisturizing agent is high, moisturizing effect is improved, but a particle diameter of a composition sprayed from a nozzle increases, which may cause displeasure during spraying. In addition, the composition sprayed onto the skin may run downward.

[0059] Particularly, the moisturizing agent included the composition according to the present invention is preferably gamma-poly L-glutamic acid extracted from fermented soybeans. The gamma-poly L-glutamic acid penetrates an outer layer of the skin to constantly maintain the concentration of hyaluronic acid by inhibiting the activity of a hyaluronic acid-degrading enzyme in the skin tissue, thereby making the skin healthy and inhibiting inflammation and necrosis of skin tissue.

[0060] Such gamma-poly L-glutamic acid exhibits superior moisturizing ability to hyaluronic acid conventionally used as a moisturizing agent, is eco-friendly, has little side effects, and may maintain moisturizing ability with only a small amount.

[0061] In addition, the emulsifier facilitates mixing of the undiluted phytoncide solution, as an oil ingredient, with water and the like. The emulsifier may be any one known in the art. Preferably, the emulsifier is lecithin or the like. More preferably, the lecithin is an eco-friendly substance extracted from soybeans or the like.

[0062] In another aspect, the present invention relates to a skin care spray device for hydrogen generation containing a phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition. Hereinafter, the skin care spray device for hydrogen generation containing the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition according to the present invention is described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0063] FIG. 1 illustrates an internal assembly diagram of a skin care spray device for hydrogen generation containing a phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition according to the present invention; FIG. 2 illustrates sectional views of a hydrogen-generating ceramic filter; FIG. 3 illustrates a perspective view of a hydrogen-generating ceramic filter; FIG. 4 illustrates a perspective view of an aluminum pouch; FIG. 5 illustrates an upper end of an aluminum pouch and an upper end of a can coupled thereto; FIG. 6 illustrates a perspective view of a nozzle; and FIG. 7 illustrates a perspective view of a skin care spray device for hydrogen generation.

[0064] More particularly, the skin care spray device for hydrogen generation containing the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition according to the present invention includes a hydrogen-generating ceramic filter 110 including a porous ceramic container 112, one opened end of which is sealed with a ceramic cap 113, so as to prevent external leakage of the magnesium fragments 111; an aluminum pouch 100 containing the hydrogen-generating ceramic filter 110 and a phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition 120 and provided with a check valve 140 for preventing the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition 120 from running back from an upper part of the aluminum pouch 100; a cylindrical aluminum can 200, an open upper part of which is coupled with an upper part 150 of the aluminum pouch 100; a nozzle 300 for spraying the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition 120 filled in the aluminum pouch 100, the nozzle 300 being mounted on an upper part of the aluminum can 200; and the like.

[0065] Here, high-purity magnesium and water should be reacted such that hydrogen is easily generated. Accordingly, to maximize the surface area of the high-purity magnesium, small magnesium fragments, as in the present invention, and the like are preferred.

[0066] Such a skin care spray device for hydrogen generation includes the aluminum pouch 100 inside which the hydrogen-generating ceramic filter 110 containing the magnesium fragments 111 is included. When the hydrogen-generating ceramic filter 110 contacts the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition 120 as a mixture of water, an undiluted phytoncide solution, gamma-poly L-glutamic acid, chitosan, an emulsifier, and the like, magnesium reacts with water to generate hydrogen as represented by Formula 1 below. The aluminum pouch 100 is filled with the generated hydrogen:

Mg+2H.sub.2O.fwdarw.Mg(OH).sub.2+H.sub.2(Formula 1)

[0067] In an embodiment, the content of hydrogen completely saturated in the aluminum pouch 100 having a volume of about 100 ml is about 1000 ppb. The content of hydrogen in the aluminum pouch 100 is preferably about 750 to 1000 ppb, more preferably about 876 ppb.

[0068] Meanwhile, the aluminum pouch 100 may prevent hydrogen present in the aluminum pouch 100 from leaking to the outside, unlike a conventional technology, due to a dense outer structure of the aluminum pouch 100. Accordingly, the efficiency of hydrogen use increases, whereby the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition 120 in which hydrogen is rich may be sprayed through the nozzle 300.

[0069] In addition, an interior of the aluminum can 200 is sealed due to coupling between an upper part of the open cylindrical aluminum can 200, which is open, and the upper end 150 of the aluminum pouch 100. Preferably, the aluminum can 200 further includes the air 400 having a predetermined pressure therein. Here, the pressure of the air 400 is more preferably about 6 to 9 bar, most preferably about 8 bar.

[0070] When the pressure of the air 400 inside the aluminum can 200 is less than about 6 bar, pressure pressing the aluminum pouch 100 is excessively decreased, whereby spraying effect of hydrogen and the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition 120 may be decreased. On the other hand, when the pressure of the air 400 is greater than about 9 bar, an interior pressure of the aluminum can 200 excessively increases, whereby the hydrogen and the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition 120 in the aluminum pouch 100 may escape.

[0071] Here, the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition 120 preferably includes water, an undiluted phytoncide solution extracted from the chamaecyparis obtusa tree, gamma-poly L-glutamic acid, chitosan, an emulsifier, and the like. More particularly, the water is included in an amount of about 95 to 98% by weight, the undiluted phytoncide solution is included in an amount of about 1 to 3% by weight, the gamma-poly L-glutamic acid is included in an amount of about 0.05 to 0.5% by weight, the chitosan is included in an amount of about 0.05 to 0.5% by weight, and the emulsifier is included in an amount of about 0.1 to 2% by weight, based on a total weight of the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition.

[0072] Here, the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition 120 preferably, further includes 0.1 to 2% by weight of a botanical extract and the like. The botanical extract is preferably an aloe extract, a citrus oil, or the like.

[0073] Particularly, when the volume of the aluminum pouch 100 is, for example, about 100 ml, the amount of the water is most preferably about 97 ml, the amount of the undiluted phytoncide solution is most preferably about 2 ml, the amount of the gamma-poly L-glutamic acid is most preferably about 0.1 ml, the amount of the chitosan is most preferably about 0.1 ml, and the amount of the emulsifier is most preferably about 0.15 ml. Here, the volume of the aluminum pouch may be increased or decreased as needed. Depending upon the increased or decreased aluminum pouch volume, the amount of the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition 120 contained in the aluminum pouch may be changed.

[0074] In another aspect, the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing the skin care spray device for hydrogen generation, the method including a step of previously installing a hydrogen-generating ceramic filter inside an aluminum pouch and a step of injecting the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition into the aluminum pouch, whereby hydrogen may be generated and the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition is contained in the aluminum pouch.

[0075] More particularly, the method of manufacturing the skin care spray device for hydrogen generation containing the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition 120 according to the present invention includes a step of manufacturing the hydrogen-generating ceramic filter 110 by inserting the magnesium fragments 111 into the porous ceramic container 112 that has been plasticized, and sealing the ceramic cap 113; a step of cutting a lower part of the prepared aluminum pouch 100 and then inserting the manufactured hydrogen-generating ceramic filter 110 into the aluminum pouch 100, followed by sealing the cut portion of the aluminum pouch 100; a step of coupling the upper part 150 of the aluminum pouch 100 including the hydrogen-generating ceramic filter 110 therein with an upper part of the cylindrical aluminum can 200 and sealing the aluminum can 200 such that the air 400 in the aluminum can 200 does not escape to the outside; a step of mixing water, an undiluted phytoncide solution extracted from a chamaecyparis obtusa tree, gamma-poly L-glutamic acid, chitosan, an emulsifier, and the like by means of a homomixer at about 15 to 25 C. for about 1 to 3 hours, and then preparing the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition 120 having an average particle diameter of greater than 0 nm and 20 nm or less by means of a high-pressure nano homogenizer; a step of filling the aluminum pouch 100 and the like with the prepared phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition 120 by forcibly injecting the prepared phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition 120 into the aluminum pouch 100 via the hole 130 that includes the nozzle 300, which is located at an upper end of the aluminum can 200, mounted thereon and passes through the upper part 150 of the aluminum pouch 100; a step of mounting the nozzle 300 on an upper part of the aluminum can 200 so as to spray the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition 120 filling the aluminum pouch 100 into the atmosphere; and the like.

[0076] More particularly, when an upper part of the open cylindrical aluminum can 200 is coupled with the upper part 150 of the aluminum pouch 100 such that the interior of the aluminum can 200 is sealed, the aluminum can 200 preferably, further includes the air 400 having a predetermined pressure therein. Here, the pressure of the air 400 is more preferably about 6 to 9 bar, most preferably about 8 bar.

[0077] Meanwhile, when the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition 120 according to the present invention is injected into the aluminum pouch 100 in the cylindrical aluminum can 200, the volume of the aluminum pouch 100 increases and, at the same time, the pressure of the air 400 in the aluminum can 200 further increases.

[0078] Accordingly, when the nozzle 300 at an upper part of the aluminum can 200 is pushed and operated in a state in which the pressure of the air 400 in the aluminum can 200 is increased due to injection of the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition 120, the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition 120, which is saturated with hydrogen, in the aluminum pouch 100 is more easily sprayed to the outside.

[0079] Here, when the pressure of the air 400 in the aluminum can 200 is less than about 6 bar, a pushing pressure applied to the aluminum pouch 100 is excessively low, whereby spraying effect of hydrogen and the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition 120 may be decreased. On the other hand, when the pressure of the air 400 is greater than about 9 bar, the hydrogen and the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition 120 in the aluminum pouch 100 may leak out due to a high internal pressure of the aluminum can 200.

[0080] Here, the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition 120 preferably includes water, an undiluted phytoncide solution extracted from a chamaecyparis obtusa tree, gamma-poly L-glutamic acid, chitosan, an emulsifier, and the like as essential ingredients. More preferably, the emulsifier includes lecithin and the like. The emulsifier may selectively, further include a botanical extract and the like.

[0081] More particularly, the water is preferably included in an amount of about 95 to 98% by weight, the undiluted phytoncide solution extracted from a chamaecyparis obtusa tree is preferably included in an amount of about 1 to 3% by weight, the gamma-poly L-glutamic acid is preferably included in an amount of about 0.05 to 0.5% by weight, the chitosan is preferably included in an amount of about 0.05 to 0.5% by weight, and the emulsifier is preferably included in an amount of about 0.1 to 2% by weight, based on a total weight of the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition. More preferably, the water is included in an amount of about 97.65% by weight, the undiluted phytoncide solution extracted from a chamaecyparis obtusa tree is included in an amount of about 2% by weight, the gamma-poly L-glutamic acid is included in an amount of about 0.1% by weight, the chitosan is included in an amount of 0.1% by weight, and the emulsifier is included in an amount of about 0.15% by weight, based on a total weight of the phytoncide moisturizing liquid composition.

[0082] In particular, when the volume of the aluminum pouch 100 is, for example, about 100 ml, the volume of the water is most preferably about 97.65 ml, the volume of the undiluted phytoncide solution extracted from a chamaecyparis obtusa tree is most preferably about 2 ml, the volume of the gamma-poly L-glutamic acid is most preferably about 0.1 ml, the volume of the chitosan is most preferably about 0.1 ml, and the volume of the emulsifier is most preferably about 0.15 ml. Here, the volume of the aluminum pouch 100 may be increased or decreased as needed.

[0083] In addition, since high-purity magnesium should react with water for easy generation of hydrogen, the small magnesium fragments 111 described in the present invention are preferred so as to maximize a surface area of high-purity magnesium.

[0084] For example, when about 20 g of the magnesium fragments 111 reacts with water, hydrogen is generated. Due to the generated hydrogen, the aluminum pouch 100 having a volume of about 100 ml is filled with the hydrogen, and the hydrogen in the aluminum pouch 100 reaches the maximum saturation state within about 24 hours. As such, about 20 g of the magnesium fragments 111 used in the 100 ml aluminum pouch 100 may generate hydrogen over a period of three months.
