  • Publication number: 20130149399
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a skin temperature elevating agent that can further effectively raise a skin temperature. Another object is to provide a cosmetic composition, a food and a sundry article having a skin temperature elevating effect. A skin temperature elevating agent of the present invention is selected from one or more selected from a group consisting of: an extract of Japanese peppermint; an extract of clary sage; dihydro-?-ionol; and geraniol, and thus it can raise a skin temperature of a cheek. The skin temperature elevating agent according to the present invention is also selected from one or more selected from a group consisting of: an extract of Japanese peppermint; an extract of juniper berry; and 4-methoxystyrene, and thus it can raise a skin temperature of a hand fingertip. Hence, the skin temperature elevating agent according to the present invention can further effectively raise a skin temperature.
