| abstract |
A functional material of the present invention is characterized in that it has: a loading component selected from functional components comprising the group consisting of catechins, vitamins, tannins, natural moisturizing factors and essential oils being derived from plants; and a functional ingredient being constituted of an organic polymer material in which the loading component is loaded on the surface or in the inside thereof, and which is a fine particle; and it exhibits dispersibility with respect to linseed oil. Since the functional material comprising the functional ingredient with the functional component loaded exhibits high dispersibility with respect to the oil, it turns out that it is possible to provide a functional material which exhibits good properties as fragrant cosmetics of good stability. In particular, a function material prepared by means of a spray-drying method is preferable. |
