  Next, each embodiment of the cosmetic composition and the production method thereof according to the present invention will be described.

1. Cosmetic composition The cosmetic composition according to the embodiment of the present invention comprises an aqueous solution containing a titanium complex having lactic acid and lactic acid ester as a ligand, and lactic acid and lactic acid ester as ligands in a molar ratio. In the range of 2-3: 1. The cosmetic composition comprises an organic solvent, a condensation catalyst, or a part or all of the condensation catalyst added in the process of coordinating lactic acid and lactic acid ester to titanium of titanium alkoxide and solation by condensation polymerization of titanium alkoxide. A reaction product such as a salt generated as a result of the reaction may be contained. The condensation catalyst may contain lactic acid. In that case, lactic acid in the condensation catalyst is not interpreted as lactic acid as a ligand. Hereinafter, the titanium complex constituting the cosmetic composition will be described.

  The titanium complex contained in the cosmetic composition according to this embodiment has a structure in which lactic acid and lactic acid ester are used as ligands, and these two ligands are coordinated to Ti in a specific range of molar ratio. Preferably, it is in an amorphous form close to a polymer grown in a low dimension. For this reason, the light scattering and photocatalytic activity found in the crystal particles are extremely low. The titanium complex may occupy any proportion with respect to the solid component in the cosmetic composition, but in the case of a cosmetic composition intended to prevent sunscreen, it is preferably 80 to 99% by mass, more preferably It occupies in the range of 85-95 mass%.

  Lactic acid is preferably contained in a range of 0.1 to 1.5 mol with respect to 1 mol of Ti. L-lactic acid that can be suitably used as a cosmetic is used for lactic acid. The lactic acid ester is preferably ethyl lactate, lauryl lactate, myristyl lactate, cetyl lactate, or a mixture of two or more thereof, and more preferably lauryl lactate having a long hydrophobic alkyl chain. The lactic acid ester is preferably contained in the range of 0.3 to 0.5 mol per mol of lactic acid.

2. Method for producing cosmetic composition The cosmetic composition according to the embodiment of the present invention preferably comprises a coordination step in which lactic acid and a lactic acid ester are coordinated to titanium alkoxide, and a condensation catalyst is added after the coordination step to form titanium. It can be produced by a method including a solation step in which the alkoxide is condensed to promote condensation polymerization. You may perform the concentration process concentrated by techniques, such as vacuum distillation, after a sol formation process. Hereinafter, each step will be described.

2.1 Coordination Step The coordination step is a step of mixing titanium alkoxide, lactic acid, and lactic acid ester in an organic solvent. As the titanium alkoxide, one represented by Ti (OR) n (OR: single or different alkoxyl group, n = 2, 3 or 4) can be used. For example, as the titanium alkoxide, tetramethoxy titanium, tetraethoxy titanium, tetrapropoxy titanium, tetraisopropoxy titanium, tetrabutoxy titanium, etc. can be used. Tetraethoxytitanium, which is ethanol with relatively low toxicity, is more preferable.

  As described above, L-lactic acid is preferred as the lactic acid, and lauryl lactate is preferred as the lactic acid ester. Lactic acid is preferably contained in a range of 0.1 to 1.5 mol with respect to 1 mol of Ti. The lactic acid ester is preferably contained in the range of 0.3 to 0.5 mol per mol of lactic acid. Lactic acid functions to impart hydrophilicity to the titanium complex, and the lactic acid ester functions to impart hydrophobicity to the titanium complex. In the range of lactic acid: lactic acid ester = 2 to 3: 1, when the cosmetic composition is applied to the skin, it is hydrophobic so that it does not easily fall off by external water or sweat, and the sweat is spread on the skin surface. It can exhibit hydrophilicity to the extent that heat can be released.

  Examples of the organic solvent include alkanols such as ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, and 1-butanol; polyhydric alcohols such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butylene glycol, hexylene glycol, and glycerin; diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, Polyglycols such as polyethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, tripropylene glycol, polypropylene glycol; diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, triethylene glycol monomethyl ether, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, diethylene glycol diethyl ether, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether Dipropylene glycol monoethyl ether, tripropylene glycol monomethyl ether, 1-methoxy-2-propanol, 1-ethoxy-2-propanol, 1-methylglyceryl ether, 2-methylglyceryl ether, 1,3-dimethylglyceryl ether Alkyl ethers such as 1-ethyl glyceryl ether, 1,3-diethyl glyceryl ether, triethyl glyceryl ether, 1-pentyl glyceryl ether, 2-pentyl glyceryl ether, 1-octyl glyceryl ether, 2-ethylhexyl glyceryl ether, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether 2-phenoxyethanol, diethylene glycol monophenyl ether, triethylene glycol monophenyl ether, polyethylene Aromatic ethers such as ethylene glycol monophenyl ether, 2-benzyloxyethanol, diethylene glycol monobenzyl ether; ketones such as cyclohexane, 2-butanone, 2-heptanone, 2-octanone, methyl isobutyl ketone, and acetophenone; methyl benzoate , Esters such as ethyl acetate, butyl acetate and γ-butyrolactone; 2-aminoethanol, N-methylethanolamine, N, N-dimethylethanolamine, N, N-diethylethanolamine, diethanolamine, N-methyldiethanolamine, N -Alkanolamines such as butyldiethanolamine, triethanolamine and triisopropanolamine can be preferably exemplified. In particular, it is preferable to use dehydrated ethanol having relatively low toxicity even if it is contained in a cosmetic composition.

  Mixing in the coordination step can be easily performed by a method of stirring the solution. For example, a stirrer having a stirring blade, a magnetic stirrer that rotates a stirrer by magnetism, an ultrasonic vibrator that vibrates using ultrasonic waves, and the like can be used as the mixing means. The temperature at the time of mixing is not specifically limited, It is preferable to set it as room temperature (around 25 degreeC). Also, the mixing time is not particularly limited, and can be set in the range of 50 to 300 hours, for example.

2.2 Sollation step As the condensation catalyst, an acid and a base can be mixed and used. However, when there is no restriction on the time required for the condensation, the titanium alkoxide may be slowly condensed using only the acid as the condensation catalyst. As the acid contained in the condensation catalyst, lactic acid used in the coordination step can be suitably used. Moreover, even if it remains in the cosmetic composition, it can be suitably used as the base, and for example, 2-amino 2-methyl 1-propanol can be used. The acid and base are more preferably used in equimolar amounts, and more preferably in the range of 0.05 to 0.3 moles per mole of titanium alkoxide. The condensation catalyst contains an acid and a base in a mixed solution of water and an organic solvent. Water is preferably present in the condensation catalyst in a molar number of 5 to 20 times that of the acid or base. The organic solvent is preferably those listed above, and particularly preferably ethanol.

  The mixing in the sol formation step can be easily performed by a method of stirring the solution. For example, a stirrer having a stirring blade, a magnetic stirrer that rotates a stirrer by magnetism, an ultrasonic vibrator that vibrates using ultrasonic waves, and the like can be used as the mixing means. The temperature at the time of mixing is not specifically limited, It is preferable to set it as room temperature (around 25 degreeC). Also, the mixing time is not particularly limited, and can be set in the range of 50 to 300 hours, for example.

2.3 Concentration Step The sol solution after the solification step can be appropriately concentrated depending on the application. For example, it is preferable to volatilize a part of the solvent by distillation under reduced pressure using an evaporation apparatus.

2. Evaluation method 2.1 Hydrophilicity (adsorption of water)
Each sample was formed using quartz glass as a substrate, and then the contact angle when water droplets were provided on the film was evaluated. It was evaluated that the larger the contact angle, the smaller the water adsorptivity. The contact angle was measured according to JIS R 3257 using an automatic contact angle meter (manufactured by Kyowa Interface Science Co., Ltd., model: Drop Master 300). Moreover, about the weight reduction accompanying heating, it heated and investigated from room temperature to 200 degreeC using the TG-DTA analyzer (Rigaku Corporation make, model: TG8120). The weight loss up to 80 ° C. was accompanied by a decrease in adsorbed water.
2.2 Hydrophobicity (water stability)
A sample was applied to the substrate to form a film, then immersed in water, and the stability against water was evaluated depending on whether or not the water became cloudy when rubbed with a finger after 30 minutes.
2.3 Absorption characteristics of ultraviolet / visible light Absorption characteristics of ultraviolet / visible light of each sample formed on the substrate using an ultraviolet-visible light absorption spectrum measuring apparatus (manufactured by Hitachi, Ltd., model: U-4100) I investigated.

3. Experiment (Experiment 1)
25 mmol TTE, 50 mmol LL, and dehydrated ethanol were put in a container to make a total of 40 mL, and stirring was performed at room temperature (around 25 ° C.) for 168 hours (coordination step). A magnetic stirrer was used for the stirring. Moreover, the rotation speed to stir was set to 550 rpm. Next, 10 mL of a catalyst solution prepared in advance was dropped into the container, and subsequently stirred at room temperature (around 25 ° C.) for 168 hours (solation step). Finally, vacuum distillation was performed using a rotary evaporator (Büch, model: R-215) to concentrate the product (concentration step).

(Experimental example 4)
In the coordination step, a sample was prepared under the same conditions as in Experimental Example 1 except that LL was 12.5 mmol and LA was 37.5 mmol.

(Experimental example 5)
In the coordination step, a sample was prepared under the same conditions as in Experimental Example 1 except that LL was 10 mmol and LA was 40 mmol.

(Experimental example 6)
In the coordination step, a sample was prepared under the same conditions as in Experimental Example 1 except that LL was 6.25 mmol and LA was 43.75 mmol.

(Experimental example 7)
In the coordination step, a sample was prepared under the same conditions as in Experimental Example 1 except that LL was 5 mmol and LA was 45 mmol.

(Experimental example 8)
In the coordination step, a sample was prepared under the same conditions as in Experimental Example 1 except that LL was 2.5 mmol and LA was 47.5 mmol.

4). Evaluation Results Table 1 shows the contact angle and adhesion after each sample produced in Experimental Examples 1 to 8 is formed.

  As shown in Table 1, the six samples prepared in Experimental Examples 3 to 8 having a molar ratio of LL: LA = 1: 2 and higher than that have contact angles of 70 degrees or less, and water adsorption characteristics Was good. On the other hand, the four types of samples prepared in Experimental Examples 1 to 4 having a small molar ratio of LL: LA = 1: 3 and LA were good in water. From the results of Table 1, it is considered that the samples prepared in Experimental Examples 3 and 4 have both moderate hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity.

  FIG. 1 shows ultraviolet and visible light absorption spectra of the samples prepared in Experimental Examples 1 and 2.

  The ultraviolet and visible light absorption spectra of both samples showed almost the same behavior. Further, other six types of behavior were also examined, but almost the same absorption spectrum was obtained regardless of the LL / LA ratio.

  2 and 3 show TG curves of the samples prepared in Experimental Examples 1, 2, 4, and 5. FIG. 2A shows the TG curve of the sample of Experimental Example 1 (LL / Ti = 2, LA / Ti = 0), and FIG. 2B shows the Experimental Example 2 (LL / Ti = 1, LA). The TG curve of the sample of / Ti = 1) is shown respectively. 3A shows the TG curve of the sample of Experimental Example 4 (LL / Ti = 0.5, LA / Ti = 1.5), and FIG. 3B shows the Experimental Example 5 (LL /Ti=0.4, LA / Ti = 1.6) TG curves of the samples are shown, respectively.

  Table 2 shows a comparison of the weight loss up to 80 ° C. of the samples prepared in Experimental Examples 1, 2, 4, and 5.

  As shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and Table 2, there was a tendency for the weight loss to increase as the molar ratio of LA increased. The weight loss up to 80 ° C. is considered to be caused by adsorbed water, so that the more lactic acid component is, the more water is adsorbed.

  The present invention can be used, for example, for cosmetics, particularly those having ultraviolet absorption ability.
