Description

The present invention relates to an external composition for skin, and more particularly to an external composition for skin containing a whitening component.

Skin symptoms such as wrinkles, spots and sagging are skin aging symptoms that manifest with aging due to accumulation of physical stimuli such as temperature changes, ultraviolet rays and chemical exposure in addition to genetic factors. Such skin symptom greatly affects the appearance of others, so keeping the skin aesthetics is an important concern for people. Among these skin symptoms, it has been clarified that skin symptoms such as blotches, freckles, and pigmentation after sunburn are caused by increased melanin production by activation of pigment cells (melanocytes) present in the skin. . Excessive or chronically increased melanin production in melanocytes can be cured by inducing melanin excess transport to keratinocytes (keratinocytes), accumulation, and delayed discharge, and inactivating cell functions of keratinocytes. Causes pigmentation accompanied by exacerbation of skin symptoms such as hard spots, dullness, and delamination. In order to prevent or improve pigmentation including deterioration of skin symptoms caused by such increased melanin production, various active ingredients have been researched and developed. In particular, the development of ingredients having a whitening effect has been actively conducted. For example, whitening agents such as ascorbic acid, hydrogen peroxide, colloidal sulfur, glutathione, hydroquinone, and catechols are known, and skins containing such ingredients are blended. External preparations are also widely used. In addition to research on whitening agents, detailed studies on pigmentation mechanisms have also been made, and whitening agents having various mechanisms based on the results, such as melanin production inhibitors (Patent Document 1), tyrosinase enzyme inhibition. Agents (Patent Document 2), tyrosinase enzyme gene expression inhibitors, α-MSH inhibitors (Patent Document 3), antioxidants (Patent Document 4) and the like have been reported.

On the other hand, it has been difficult to say that the whitening effect is sufficient in pigmentation involving the decrease in cell function of keratinocytes. However, the composition of a compound having a whitening component and a sterically bulky aromatic group or heteroaromatic group (particularly a diphenylmethyl group or a triphenylmethyl group) causes excessive transport and accumulation of melanin to keratinocytes due to enhanced melanin production. In recent years, it has been found to be effective against pigmentation accompanied by symptoms such as incurable healing, dullness, and rough skin caused by phenomena such as discharge delay (Patent Document 5).

On the other hand, as an attempt to achieve a higher whitening effect, studies have been made to improve skin permeability or storage (Patent Document 6) by devising prescription ingredients. In addition, it has been reported that skin permeability is controlled by a method using hydroxylated phospholipid or the like (Patent Document 7). However, even in these methods, in the case of a compound having a sterically bulky branched structure and a water-soluble compound, skin permeation is limited or has a low rapid effect, and it is difficult to obtain a high whitening effect. there were. Therefore, a formulation and a dosage form that can realize high transdermal absorption of these compounds have been demanded.

<Test Example 1 Evaluation of transdermal absorbability of external composition for skin>
Six panels of 1 cm × 1 cm were provided on the inner part of the forearm of 10 panelists, and 7 μL of the test sample, which was the above-prepared skin external composition, was applied to each panel and allowed to stand at 20 ° C. for 1 hour, followed by tetrahydrofuran (THF) The skin was wiped off with a cotton wool impregnated with 100% of the cotton, and this cotton wool was extracted three times with 100 ml of THF, and the recovered amount of N- (p-toluyl) cysteic acid or N- (p-methoxybenzoyl) cysteic acid in the extract was determined. Quantified by high performance liquid chromatography. The recovery rate was defined as transdermal absorbability (the lower the value, the higher the transdermal absorbability). Each test sample was evaluated twice, and the averages are shown in Tables 1 to 3.

<Test Example 2 Appearance, color and odor evaluation of composition for external use on skin>
After preparing the test sample, it was stored at 50 ° C. One week after the preparation, appearance, color and odor were evaluated. However, on the day before the evaluation, the test sample stored at 50 ° C. was stored at 20 ° C. for 24 hours and evaluated. In terms of appearance, the absolute evaluation was evaluated by comparing the color and odor with those separately stored at 5 ° C. The criteria for each evaluation are shown below. The results are shown in Tables 1-3.

[Appearance evaluation]
0: Emulsified neatly.
1: Although emulsified, the emulsified particles are enlarged and the transparency is enhanced.
2: Emulsification failure is observed (less than 5% of the total).
3: Emulsification is broken and oil is separated.

[Color and smell evaluation]
0: Same as 5 ° C.
1: There is a slight difference compared to 5 ° C. It is a level that cannot be understood unless compared with 5 ° C.
2: A difference is seen compared with 5 degreeC. Even if it is not compared with 5 ° C., it can be easily understood.
3: Discoloration or odor change is remarkable. It is not suitable as a composition for external use on the skin.

<Test Example 3 Skin feel evaluation of composition for external use>
A questionnaire was conducted regarding the feeling of use of the composition for external use on the skin. The evaluation criteria are shown below. In addition, Tables 1 to 3 show the most frequent results for five people.
A: There is no stickiness and it is a very good feeling.
B: Although it feels a little sticky, it is a relatively good feeling.
C: A feeling of stickiness is felt and the feeling of use is bad.
D: A feeling of stickiness is considerably felt, and it is a very bad feeling of use. It is not suitable as a composition for external use on the skin.
