Safety assessments of cosmetics are carried out by identifying possible harmful effects of substances in cosmetic products and assessing the exposure to products containing these substances. The present study provided data on the amounts of cosmetic products consumed in Japan to enhance and complement the existing data from Europe and the United States, i.e., the West. The outcomes of this study increase the accuracy of exposure assessments and enable more sophisticated risk assessment as a part of the safety assessment of cosmetic products. Actual amounts of products applied were calculated by determining the difference in the weight of products before and after use by approximately 300 subjects. The results of the study of skincare products revealed that in comparison with the West, large amounts of lotions and emulsions were applied, whereas lower amounts of cream and essence were applied in Japan. In the study of sunscreen products, actual measured values during outdoor leisure use were obtained, and these were lower than the values from the West. The study of the use of facial mask packs yielded data on typical Japanese sheet-type impregnated masks and revealed that high amounts were applied. Furthermore, data were obtained on cleansing foams, makeup removers and makeup products. The data from the present study enhance and complement existing information and will facilitate more sophisticated risk assessments. The present results should be extremely useful in safety assessments of newly developed cosmetic products and to regulatory authorities in Japan and around the world.

Citrus-type crude drugs (CCDs) are commonly used to formulate decoctions in Kampo formula (traditional Japanese medicine). Our previous study reported metabolomic analyses for differentiation of the methanol extracts of Citrus-type crude drugs (CCDs) using UHPLC/MS, and 13C- and 1H-NMR. The present study expanded the scope of its application by analyzing four CCD water extracts (Kijitsu, Tohi, Chimpi, and Kippi); these CCDs are usually used as decoction ingredients in the Kampo formula. A principal component analysis score plot of processed UPLC/MS and NMR analysis data indicated that the CCD water extracts could be classified into three groups. The loading plots showed that naringin and neohesperidin were the distinguishing components. Three primary metabolites, α-glucose, β-glucose, and sucrose were identified as distinguishing compounds by NMR spectroscopy. During the preparation of CCD dry extracts, some compounds volatilized or decomposed. Consequently, fewer compounds were detected than in our previous studies using methanol extract. However, these results suggested that the combined NMR- and LC/MS-based metabolomics can discriminate crude drugs in dried water extracts of CCDs.

Here we report that coffee showed a strong antibacterial action on Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Helicobacter pylon(H. pylon). This action against H. pylon suggests that coffee may have action as a useful natural inhibitor of gastritis and gastric ulcers.
