摘要

The composition of the present invention relates to a composition including castor oil extracted from castor beans by using hexane, undecylenic acid, propyl alcohol, propylene glycol, and water for external use on the skin for preventing or treating athlete's foot. Among the constituent components of the composition, the castor oil extracted from castor beans using hexane exhibits better antifungal activity compared to that of castor oil extracted using a compression method at a high temperature under high pressure. Thus, through the excellent antifungal effect of the composition, various kinds of athlete's foot such as athlete's foot erupting on the hands and feet, tinea cruris around the inguinal, tinea unguium (athlete's foot on nails) erupting on the fingernails or toenails, tinea capitis erupting on the head, tinea corporis erupting on the body may be easily treated.
