An object of the present invention is to manufacture a cosmetic consisting of plant material to lactic acid fermentation, and to simplify the manufacturing process, and, fermentation control is easily done, the plant material formed by lactic acid fermentation, without the use of preservatives method of manufacturing the storage stability of excellent cosmetic and cosmetic itself, as well as to provide a new strain to be used in its manufacture. A one or more plant material ethanol - was immersed in a sugar mixed aqueous solution to remove the solids to give a plant extract extraction of ethanol aqueous solution was added to lactic acid bacteria with ethanol tolerance to said plant extract extraction aqueous ethanol, by fermenting comprises 30mM more lactic acid, ethanol concentration of 13-20% by volume, to obtain the pH4.5 following fermentation. By filtering the fermentation broth to the fermentation lotion. The lactic acid bacteria, it is desirable to use a novel strain HL190 (NITE P-01810) belonging to the Lactobacillus paracasei paracasei Sabusupishisu. .BACKGROUND【課題】 植物原料を乳酸発酵してなる化粧料を製造するのに、製造工程を簡素化し、且つ、発酵制御が容易に行え、植物原料を乳酸発酵してなる、防腐剤を使用せずに保存性の優れた化粧料の製造方法及び化粧料自体、並びにその製造に使用する新規菌株を提供する。【解決手段】 1種類以上の植物原料をエタノール-糖混合水溶液に浸漬し、固形物を除去して植物エキス抽出エタノール水溶液を得、該植物エキス抽出エタノール水溶液にエタノール耐性を有する乳酸菌を添加し、発酵させて、30mM以上の乳酸を含み、エタノール濃度13-20容量%、pH4.5以下の発酵液を取得する。この発酵液をろ過して発酵化粧水とする。乳酸菌には、ラクトバシルス・パラカゼイ サブスピーシス パラカゼイに属する新菌株HL190(NITE P-01810)を用いることが望ましい。【選択図】なし
