The present invention relates to a method for producing a plant particle, to a plant particle using the same, and to a hydrogel composition including the same. More specifically, the method comprises the steps of: drying petals, leaves, or a combination thereof of plants; obtaining a pulverized material by pulverizing the dried petals, the leaves, or the combination thereof of the plants into a maximum length of 0.1 to 20 mm; and softening the tissue of the plants by heating the pulverized material by steam. According to the present invention, the particles of plants, not extract of the plants, are contained in a conventional hydrogel composition, so active ingredients of the plants can be more effectively provided and a skin care effect can be improved. In addition, the plant particles enable a user to visually recognize the presence of plants, and skincare components can be confirmed by a naked eye. Accordingly, high reliability is provided to consumers, and a new formulation pack can be provided. |
