Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an oil-in-water type emulsified composition which is excellent in temporal stability or fresh feeling of use even if not containing an emulsifier.SOLUTION: The oil-in-water type emulsified composition includes the following ingredients (a)-(c): (a) a dextrin fatty acid ester; (b) an oil solution; and (c) a cellulosic polymer with an alkyl group, wherein the content mass proportion (b)/(a) of the ingredient (b) to the ingredient (a) is in a range of 2-14, and an emulsifier is not included substantially.

Description

The present invention relates to an oil-in-water emulsion composition that does not substantially contain an emulsifier. More specifically, the present invention contains a dextrin fatty acid ester, an oil agent, and a cellulosic polymer having an alkyl group, and is stable over time and has a fresh feeling of use. The present invention relates to an excellent oil-in-water emulsion composition.

Oil-in-water emulsion compositions are used in many products such as pharmaceuticals and cosmetics because they can provide an emollient effect while having a fresh feeling of use. However, since the stability deteriorates when an oil agent is blended, various techniques for improving the stability have been studied.
For example, the stability over time and the feeling of use have been improved by containing a water-soluble polymer such as an emulsifier and hydroxyethyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, pullulan, and pectin.

In addition, as a technique that does not use an emulsifier, a gel composition in which an oil agent is emulsified with an acrylic acid / alkyl methacrylate copolymer (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 1), anionic polymers and cationic polymers An emulsified composition using a polyelectrolyte complex consisting of the following in place of an emulsifier (for example, see Non-Patent Document 2) is disclosed.
Furthermore, an emulsified composition utilizing the fact that a complex formed from an amphoteric polymer and a higher fatty acid acts as an emulsifier is disclosed (for example, see Patent Document 2).

  However, when an emulsifier is used, stickiness due to the emulsifier may appear, which is not preferable, and there is also a problem that many consumers are concerned about the safety of the surfactant emulsifier.

  When an acrylic acid / alkyl methacrylate copolymer is used as an emulsifier as in Non-Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 1, the dispersed particles of the oil agent in the oil-in-water emulsion composition are large, and stability over time is maintained. There was a problem that was difficult. In addition, since the oil-in-water emulsion composition is stabilized with a polymer gel, high viscosity is required for stabilization, and since the gel strength is high, the finger is bad, In addition, the film feeling remained strong, and the stability was poor particularly in the low viscosity region, and the application range was limited.

When a water-soluble polymer is used instead of an emulsifier as in Non-Patent Document 2, the ability to lower the interfacial tension of the water-soluble polymer is small compared to the emulsifier, and the emulsifying power is relatively small. There was a problem that the emulsion stability was poor.
Furthermore, the technique of Patent Document 2 is an oil-in-water emulsion composition using a complex formed from an amphoteric polymer and a higher fatty acid as an emulsifier. It came out strongly, and a refreshing feeling was not obtained.
An object of the present invention is to provide an oil-in-water emulsion composition having a low viscosity, excellent stability over time, and a fresh feeling of use without using an emulsifier.

As a result of intensive research in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the inventor dispersed an oil agent and a dextrin fatty acid ester in water containing a cellulosic polymer having an alkyl group to thereby obtain an emulsifier. Even if it did not contain, it discovered that the oil-in-water-type emulsion composition excellent in stability with time and a fresh feeling was obtained, and came to complete this invention. Furthermore, the oil-in-water emulsion composition of the present invention is excellent in stability over time even if it has a low viscosity.
In addition, when the cellulose polymer having an alkyl group is replaced with another water-soluble polymer, or when the dextrin fatty acid ester is replaced with another oil gelling agent, the stability over time is poor. And a cellulosic polymer having an alkyl group have improved stability over time and are an essential combination, and are considered to have some interaction.

That is, the present invention includes the following components (a) to (c);
(A) dextrin fatty acid ester (b) oil agent (c) containing a cellulosic polymer having an alkyl group, and the content mass ratio (b) / (a) of component (a) and component (b) is 2-14 The present invention provides an oil-in-water emulsified composition that is in the range and contains substantially no emulsifier.

  Moreover, the viscosity in 25 degreeC is the range of 5000-30000 mPa * s, The said oil-in-water-type emulsion composition characterized by the above-mentioned is provided.

Dextrin fatty acid ester to which the fatty acid is bound. Moreover, it is preferable that the substitution degree of the fatty acid in the fatty acid dextrin is 1 or more per glucose unit constituting the dextrin. Of these, dextrin palmitate, dextrin myristate, and dextrin stearate are preferable, and dextrin palmitate is particularly preferable in terms of excellent stability over time and fresh feeling.
