Description

  The present invention relates to a skin cosmetic that can continuously supply carbon dioxide to the skin.

  Since carbon circulation is promoted when carbon dioxide acts on the skin, various carbon dioxide-containing cosmetics have been proposed. Since cosmetics containing carbon dioxide itself need to use pressure-resistant containers, solid cosmetics containing carbonate and acid as a means of supplying carbon dioxide to the skin without the need for special containers Have been reported (Patent Documents 1 and 2).

  However, solid cosmetics are not preferred for application to the skin, and liquid skin cosmetics are desired. Cosmetics that form a carbon dioxide gas foam comprising a composition containing a carbonate and a composition containing an acidic component as constituents, and the components are mixed on or just before the skin. From the point of forming a foam, a cosmetic has been reported in which any one of the components is a composition containing an aqueous component (Patent Document 3).

However, when this cosmetic was applied to the skin, it was found that foaming occurred from the time when the two compositions were mixed, carbon dioxide could not be retained, and sufficient blood circulation promoting effects could not be imparted to the skin.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a skin cosmetic that can supply carbon dioxide continuously on the skin and can provide a sufficient blood circulation promoting action.

  Therefore, the present inventor has made various studies, and both the liquid composition containing carbonate and the acidic liquid composition are both non-aqueous, and when mixing and supplying water immediately before use, surprisingly, It has been found that the generation of carbon dioxide on the skin is sustained compared with the case where one of the two compositions is made aqueous, and a sufficient blood circulation promoting action is obtained.

  That is, the present invention contains (A) a non-aqueous liquid composition containing a carbonate or bicarbonate, and (B) an acidic non-aqueous liquid composition, and the composition (A) and the composition at the time of use. A carbon dioxide supply skin cosmetic for mixing (B) and supplying water for use is provided.

  When the skin cosmetic of the present invention is applied to the skin, carbon dioxide is continuously generated on the skin, and the blood circulation of the skin can be promoted continuously.

  The skin cosmetic of the present invention contains at least (A) a non-aqueous liquid composition containing a carbonate or bicarbonate, and (B) an acidic non-aqueous liquid composition, and these are independent forms until use.

It is preferable to mix. When the composition (A) and the composition (B) are mixed at a ratio of 1: 2 to 2: 1 and applied to the skin, 0.75 to 30% by mass in the composition (A) and 1 It is preferable to make it contain 5-21 mass%, especially 3-15 mass%.

  The said composition (B) needs to be an acidic non-aqueous liquid from the point which generate | occur | produces a carbon dioxide when mixing with a composition (A) at the time of use and supplying water. Here, the acidic non-aqueous liquid is a non-aqueous liquid containing an acidic component that can make the water acidic when the composition (A) and the composition (B) are mixed at the time of use and water is supplied. I just need it. Such an acidic component may be any acid stronger than carbonic acid, such as inorganic acids such as phosphoric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and nitric acid, and organic acids such as oxalic acid, citric acid, malic acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid and fumaric acid. Is mentioned. Amino acids such as glutamic acid can also be used. Of these, citric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, and fumaric acid are particularly preferable.

Water may be applied after the mixture has been applied to the skin, water may be applied to the mixture and then applied to the skin, or the mixture may be applied to skin wet with water. Good. Carbon dioxide is generated only by the contact of the mixture with water, the generation of carbon dioxide is sustained, and the blood circulation promoting effect of the skin is sustained. When the skin cosmetic composition of the present invention is a skin cleanser, for example, the composition (A) and the composition (B) are mixed, and water is added to the mixture to clean the skin. The cleaning effect can be obtained at the same time. Since both the composition (A) and the composition (B) of the present invention are non-aqueous, it is particularly preferable for cleaning sebum and makeup.

Example 1
(1) Preparation of Liquid Compositions A and A ′ Containing Hydrogen Carbonate Each raw material was mixed and stirred at 80 ° C. with the composition shown in Table 1, and then slowly cooled to room temperature, and non-aqueous liquid composition A and aqueous liquid composition A ′ was prepared.

(2) Preparation of acidic liquid compositions B and B ′ After mixing and stirring the respective raw materials at the composition of Table 2 at 80 ° C., the mixture was gradually cooled to room temperature to prepare non-aqueous liquid composition B and aqueous liquid composition B ′. did.

Test Example 0.3 g of Composition A and 0.3 g of Composition B were placed on the palm of the left hand and mixed for 1 minute on the left palm using the index and middle fingers of the right hand. Next, 1 g of purified water was added as a washing model, and after mixing for a certain period of time, the carbon dioxide concentration of the mixture was changed to a carbon dioxide electrode (electrode model 9502 BN; Thermo Orion and portable pH / ion meter model 290A; ORION ).

  Table 3 shows the state of foaming during mixing and the measurement results of carbon dioxide.

  As a result, no foaming was observed when A and B were mixed, and the carbon dioxide concentration of several hundred ppm was still maintained even after 3 minutes had passed after mixing with water.

Comparative Example The operation was performed in the same manner as in Example except that A and B ′, A ′ and B, and A ′ and B ′ were used as the compositions to be mixed. As a result, foaming was observed when only the composition was mixed, but the carbon dioxide concentration was 100 ppm or less immediately after mixing with water.
