Abstract

Melanin plays an important role in protecting human skin from UV radiation and determines the race and skin color. Melanin is also major target for developing skin-whitening cosmeceuticals. Recently, as the market size of skin-whitening cosmeceuticals has rapidly expanded, related researches and developments are also focused on maximizing the safety and efficacy. Also, patents of skin-whitening materials have been increasing steadily for ensuring the competitive power. Patent also shows the research trend of industry and institutes. In this review, we analyze the trend of research and development based on the patent application of skin-whitening cosmeceuticals.

멜라닌은 UV로부터 피부를 보호하는 기능을 하며, 인종과 피부색을 결정하는 요인이다. 또한 미백 기능성 화장품개발의 주요 목표물이기도 하다. 최근 미와 관련된 화장품 시장이 급성장 하면서 미백효능 증대를 위한 연구들이 활발히 진행되고 있고, 보다 안전하고 효능을 극대화하기 위한 미백 기성화장품의 개발은 관심업계의 주력 분야이다. 또한 경쟁력을 확보하기 위한 수단으로 지속적인 특허 출원이 따르고 있다. 특허는 관련업계의 연구경향을 파악할 수 있는 중요한 문헌이기도 하다. 본 논문에서는 미백 기능성화장품과 관련된 특허 분석을 통하여 관련 업계의 미백연구기술의 개발 동향을 소개하고 미백 기능성 화장품의 개발 및 활성성분의 원료개발에 대한 이해를 돕고자 한다.
