Description

  The present invention relates to a cosmetic, and more particularly to a cosmetic that can improve fragrance and palatability in a high humidity environment.

  Conventionally, in cosmetics, a technique of masking with a fragrance has been adopted in order to make it difficult to feel the base material odor of the cosmetic base material, which is an unpleasant odor. In recent years, a highly-preferred fragrance has been developed that provides a refreshing feeling, comfort, etc. by making a user smell the scent. Therefore, when selecting the fragrance | flavor mix | blended with cosmetics, the present condition is selecting the fragrance | flavor which can make masking of a base-material odor and high height of preference.

  For example, there is a headspace gas analysis method as a method for developing a highly flavorful and natural fragrance, and a fragrance reconstituted based on the analysis result is often used. However, among these cosmetics blended with cosmetics that are used in a bathroom in a humid environment (for example, hair shampoo, hair rinse, etc.), they are not satisfactory in terms of fragrance. It was.

  On the other hand, as a method for collecting aroma components of fragrances (or components called volatile components or aromatic components), a method for collecting volatile components of plants in a humid environment (for example, see Patent Document 1), Although a method for collecting an aroma component from animal and plant raw materials in a humid environment (for example, see Patent Document 2) has been disclosed, the specific application to cosmetics has not reached a sufficiently satisfactory level.

JP-A-60-161929 JP 2000-53992 A

  In view of the above circumstances, the present inventor found that the masking and the palatability can be achieved by blending a specific perfume into the cosmetic, and completed the present invention. That is, the present invention has an object of providing a highly-preferred cosmetic that has a good fragrance and has a fresh sensation, by blending a fragrance in which a fragrance component is collected in a humid environment. And

  The present invention provides a fragrance liquid obtained by separating a fragrance component from humid air in contact with animal and plant raw materials and including a fragrance, and a fragrance composition obtained by reanalyzing the composition by component analysis of the fragrance liquid. The above-mentioned object is achieved by blending, in a cosmetic, a fragrance containing at least one of the above as a component.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, in cosmetics, by blending the fragrance | liquid or the fragrance | flavor composition which collected the fragrance | flavor component in the humid environment, the fragrance is favorable and the cosmetics with high palatability with a fresh feeling Can be provided.

The fragrance liquid used in the cosmetic composition of the present invention is derived from animal and plant raw materials, and is obtained by bringing aroma components into contact with humidified air and separating the aroma components therefrom. More specifically, first, the scent of animal and plant raw materials is included in the humidified air by forcing the humidified air into contact with the animal and plant raw materials. Next, the humidified air is cooled to separate the aromatic component together with the condensed water. The liquid thus obtained is the aromatic liquid used for the cosmetic of the present invention.

  The fragrance composition used in the cosmetic of the present invention is a fragrance composition obtained by reconstituting the composition of the fragrance liquid obtained as described above by component analysis. In order to analyze the components of the aromatic liquid, for example, a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer (GC / MS) may be used. At that time, the fragrance liquid may be used as the analysis sample as it is, but if the fragrance component is concentrated by extraction with an organic solvent, the fragrance reproducibility is enhanced because the analysis can be performed more strictly.

  The fragrance | flavor mix | blended with the cosmetics of this invention contains at least any one of the said aromatic liquid or fragrance composition as a component. Of course, the fragrance liquid and the fragrance composition can be used in combination, and can be mixed with other fragrances usually blended in cosmetics and blended with the cosmetics of the present invention.

  Although the compounding quantity of the fragrance | flavor mix | blended with the cosmetics of this invention is not specifically limited, Usually, it is 0.001-60 mass% with respect to the whole quantity of cosmetics. And it is preferable to mix | blend the sum total of the aromatic liquid or fragrance composition used for this invention so that it may become 0.1-100 mass% with respect to the whole quantity of a fragrance | flavor. If it is this range, fragrance will be favorable and the palatability with a fresh feeling will also become high. Furthermore, especially preferable compounding quantity mix | blends 0.005-20 mass% of fragrance | flavor with respect to the whole quantity of cosmetics, and the sum total of a fragrance | flavor or a fragrance composition is 0.5 ~ with respect to the whole quantity of the fragrance | flavor. 50% by mass. Within this range, in addition to fragrance and palatability, an effect can be expected in terms of cost.

  Examples of the animal and plant raw materials include fresh flowers, fresh leaves, or fresh flowers, leaves, or fruits that are sucked up by nutrients from roots. Also, fresh flowers, fresh leaves, or fresh fruits, fresh cut flowers, freshly harvested fruits, vegetables, or herbs, roasted coffee beans, teas such as tea, spices, seafood and livestock meat Even if it is the raw material of animals and plants which are foodstuffs, there is no problem in this invention. However, fresh flowers, fresh leaves, or fresh fruits are preferred as cosmetics in terms of palatability.

  Specific examples of animal and plant raw materials include flowers such as rose and gardenia, fruits such as peach, yuzu and grape, leaves such as chanoki and aloe, gland secretions such as musk deer and musk cat. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more as appropriate. However, when used in combination, depending on the compatibility, it becomes an unfavorable aroma, so it is necessary to select appropriately in order to obtain an effect of aroma and palatability. For example, a combination of flowers and a combination of fruits are compatible.

In the present invention, the humidified air refers to humidified air or inert gas. These humidified air preferably has a temperature of 20 to 40 ° C. and a humidity of 80% or more, more preferably a temperature of 20 to 30 ° C. and a humidity of 90% or more. This range is a suitable condition for maintaining the freshness of the raw material, and if it is within this temperature range, it is difficult to make humid air having a humidity of 80% or more. As a simple method for generating such humidified air, for example, air or inert gas completely deodorized through an activated carbon packed tower in odorless and clean water at a temperature of about 20 to 40 ° C. Is obtained by blowing. There are various amounts of various volatile components in the atmosphere, and these volatile components become a major obstacle when trying to collect the fragrance of fresh flowers as in the present invention. Cleaning is absolutely necessary. As the inert gas, helium, nitrogen, or argon can be used, but nitrogen is the most economical and useful. In addition, it is necessary to select suitably whether it uses air or an inert gas with the animal and plant raw material which is trying to collect aroma. For example, in the case of fresh flowers, fresh fruits, or cut flowers, it is better to use air because they may suffocate and die. In the case of roasted coffee beans, black tea and the like, it is preferable to use an inert gas.

  The other fragrances are preferably natural fragrances, esters, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, phenols, ethers, lactones, hydrocarbons, nitrogen-containing and / or sulfur-containing compounds, and acids. One or more natural or synthetic fragrances selected from the group.

  In the cosmetic of the present invention, in addition to the above-described fragrance components, components usually used in cosmetics can be appropriately blended within the range achieved by the present invention depending on the purpose. For example, oils, powders (pigments, dyes, resins), nonionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, cationic surfactants, cationic polymers, silicone derivatives, viscosity modifiers, pearlizing agents that are commonly used in cosmetics , Chelating agents, resins, preservatives, ultraviolet absorbers (including organic and inorganic types, which may be any of UV-A and B), solvents, natural plant extract components, seaweed extract components Ingredients such as herbal medicine components, humectants, salts, antioxidants, neutralizers, pH adjusters, and the like can be appropriately blended.

  The cosmetics of the present invention are not particularly limited by the object and dosage form, and are for hair shampoos, body shampoos, hand soaps, facial cleansing cosmetics, hair shampoos, hair rinses, hair conditioners, hair treatments, hair creams, hair tonics. , Hair liquid, set gel, hair mousse, set lotion, hair spray, hair restorer, perm, hair dye and other cosmetics for hair, lotion, emulsion, cream, essence, gel, pack and other basic cosmetics, foundation, lipstick It can be applied as makeup cosmetics such as bath cosmetics and bath cosmetics such as bathing agents. Among these, suitable uses include washing, hair, and bath use, especially in the bathroom, hair shampoo, body shampoo, hand soap, facial cleanser, hair rinse, hair treatment, hair conditioner, and Bath salts are the best. In addition, the dosage form can be various, such as solid, liquid, cream, paste, foam, mist, and powder.

  The cosmetic of the present invention has a good fragrance and a fresh taste, and has high palatability, and does not impair the fragrance or fresh feeling even in a humid environment such as a bathroom. So it is ideal for use in such places. In particular, the humidity in a closed bathroom is often 80% or more, but there is no problem even in that case.
