Terue Nakajima of the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Osaka University "Mandom Joint Research Course" at the "Cosmetic Victories 2019" contest sponsored by Cosmetic Valley (France), the world's largest cluster of the cosmetics industry. The commissioned researcher received the highest award.
The Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Osaka University established a joint research course "Mandom Joint Research Course" with Mandom Corporation in June 2015, and a joint research group including Professor Fumihiro Okada has developed a next-generation antiperspirant. I have been conducting research that leads to.Among them, the temporal change in sweating contraction of the three-dimensional structure of human sweat glands, which has been considered difficult to analyze, was clarified by the three-dimensional live imaging method (a method of watching three-dimensional movement with a moving image).
As an application of this observation technology, Terue Nakajima has applied a new antiperspirant concept that suppresses sweating by "sleeping the sweat glands" instead of "covering the outlet of the sweat glands" which is often found in existing antiperspirants. Suggested.This proposal won the highest award at "Cosmetic Victories 2019".The conventional antiperspirant that "covers the outlet of the sweat glands" has problems such as uncontrollable sweat and dermatitis, and yellowing of clothes due to the active ingredient, but it suppresses the contraction of the sweat glands during sweating and "puts the sweat glands to sleep". If the next-generation antiperspirant is developed, it is expected to be of great help in solving the problems of the antiperspirant so far and improving the sweat and sweat odor that are the problems of consumers these days.
