Description

  The present invention relates to a composite powder obtained by subjecting a flaky substrate powder to surface coating with spherical zinc oxide, a production method thereof, and a cosmetic containing the composite powder.

  In recent years, various methods have been taken to produce a wrinkle concealment effect and a feeling of bare skin, a method of correcting physical irregularities of the skin such as pores and fine lines on the bare skin by a blurring effect by diffuse reflection of spherical powder, By combining fine particles on the surface of flaky substrate powders such as talc, alumina, barium sulfate and mica, or by changing the refractive index of light by providing a titanium oxide layer and a silica layer on the surface of spherical silica particles There are methods for enhancing the light diffusion effect and improving the soft focus property (see Patent Documents 1 to 4).

  However, the powders obtained by these methods have not been completely satisfied because they have to solve conflicting problems such as hiding and creating transparency.

  When spherical powder is used, it is difficult to uniformly disperse it in cosmetics, and if it is added in a large amount, press moldability becomes difficult. Also, the spherical powder may fall into the skin groove and conversely make pores and fine lines stand out.

  In addition, the method of surface-treating fine particles of titanium oxide on the flaky substrate powder can hide defects such as skin color and show a uniform finish, but its texture is not glossy and matte. I feel. In addition, titanium oxide has a problem that the finish such as foundation becomes pale due to a high refractive index, and a transparent feeling cannot be obtained.

  Further, as the ultraviolet shielding agent, organic ultraviolet absorbers and ultrafine inorganic powders such as titanium oxide and zinc oxide are used. However, organic UV screening agents have safety issues on the skin, and inorganic powders with UV screening ability tend to aggregate due to their small particle size, and lack transparency when applied to the skin. It is difficult to disperse uniformly. Furthermore, since the primary particle diameter of ultrafine particle titanium oxide or zinc oxide having an ultraviolet shielding ability is 100 nm or less, there is a concern about the problem of skin absorption.

  On the other hand, various methods are known for producing zinc oxide powder. In general, a production method called French method is known as a dry method. In this method, molten metal zinc is heated to about 1000 ° C. in a retort, the generated zinc vapor is oxidized with air, this is sent to an air cooling tube with a blower, cooled, and separated with a cyclone and a bag filter. It is a method of collecting. On the other hand, the German method is known as a wet method. In this method, a white basic zinc carbonate precipitate formed by adding a soda ash solution to an aqueous solution of zinc sulfate or zinc chloride is washed with water, dried, and calcined. However, zinc oxide produced by these methods has a problem that it is difficult to control the form. In addition, since treatment at a high temperature is required, there are problems in that the environment is affected and the cost of the reaction apparatus is increased.

  Zinc oxide is known to have photocatalytic activity. Zinc oxide absorbs ultraviolet rays in sunlight and can remove the direct influence of ultraviolet rays in sunlight on the skin. On the other hand, it varies depending on active oxygen and free radicals derived from a large amount of free electrons and holes. There are concerns about adverse effects on the skin, that is, phototoxicity. Thus, surface protection and surface treatment of photocatalytically active powders, and the incorporation of radical trapping agents have been proposed as methods for protecting against phototoxicity caused mainly by active oxygen and free radicals in photocatalytically active powders. There is a need for zinc oxide powder with low photocatalytic activity.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, so that the surface of the flaky substrate powder can be coated with zinc oxide whose shape is controlled to be spherical by an environmentally friendly, simple and low-cost method. In addition, spherical zinc oxide powder does not agglomerate, provides a composite powder with high UV absorption ability and excellent transparency, and by combining the composite powder together, it has a high UV shielding effect and is soft. An object of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic with excellent focusability, suppression of phototoxicity, prevention of skin aging and deterioration of skin symptoms, and excellent use feeling.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present inventors have conducted intensive research. As a result, the surface of the flaky substrate powder is coated with zinc oxide whose shape is controlled to be spherical by performing a soft solution reaction in two stages. A method for producing a composite powder was found.
Here, the two-step soft solution reaction is a flaky substrate in Process I using a water-soluble zinc compound, a glycol, an amine compound, and a metal salt of a metal ion having a charge of +4 or less. The surface of the powder is coated with zinc oxide whose shape is controlled to be spherical. Thereafter, in Process II, the powder obtained in Process I is used as a growth nucleus, and the powder obtained in Process I is used as a growth nucleus. Using a water-soluble zinc compound, glycol and an amine compound, a flaky substrate powder is obtained by a soft solution reaction. A composite powder whose shape is uniformly controlled on a spherical surface is used. Further, the composite powder obtained by the above production method may be calcined at 300 ° C. to 1500 ° C. By performing this calcining treatment, the specific surface area is controlled, and the oil absorption and crystallinity are controlled. Can do.

  Furthermore, by coating the surface of the obtained composite powder with a compound such as polysiloxane, alkylsilane compound, alkyl titanate compound, or fluorine compound, a coated composite powder having hydrophobicity or oleophobicity can be obtained. By blending the composite powder and / or the coated composite powder into the cosmetic, it is possible to provide a cosmetic that is excellent in ultraviolet shielding effect, soft focus property and feeling of use, and further has suppressed phototoxicity. Based on these findings, the present inventors have completed the present invention.

In short, the composite powder according to the first invention is
The surface of the flaky substrate powder is obtained by coating 5 to 80% by mass of zinc oxide whose shape is controlled to be spherical.

  In the first invention, it is preferable that the zinc oxide coated on the surface of the flaky substrate powder is formed into a spherical shape having a particle diameter of 2 to 200 nm and a spherical shape of 20 to 5000 nm (second invention). .

In addition, the method for producing the composite powder according to the third invention is
A method for producing a composite powder according to the first invention or the second invention, wherein the composite powder is produced by the following two-stage processing steps.
First stage: The surface of the flaky substrate powder is coated with fine spherical zinc oxide.
Second stage: Using the fine spherical zinc oxide as a core, a water-soluble zinc compound, glycol and amine compound are mixed to obtain a target composite powder by a soft solution reaction.

In the two-stage treatment process, it is preferable that the zinc oxide particles are doped with metal ions having a charge of +4 or less (fourth invention).
Here, the dope means that a metal oxide is added to the zinc oxide powder in some form, and the addition state is not questioned, and a state where a part of the metal oxide enters the zinc oxide is also included. The state where zinc oxide powder is coated with a metal oxide is also included in the concept of this dope.

The cosmetic according to the fifth invention is
The composite powder of the first invention or the second invention is contained.

  According to the manufacturing method of the third invention, by performing the treatment in two stages, the flaky substrate powder is uniformly coated with zinc oxide whose shape is controlled in a spherical shape by a soft solution reaction that does not give a load to the environment. It is possible to control the particle diameter of the coated zinc oxide and to adjust the coating amount. In this way, a composite powder excellent in transparency can be obtained while having high ultraviolet absorbing ability without aggregation of spherical zinc oxide powder as in the first invention or the second invention.

Further, as in the fourth invention, zinc oxide with reduced photocatalytic activity can be coated by doping the zinc oxide particles with metal ions having a charge of +4 or less. Furthermore, if the obtained composite powder is fired at 300 ° C. to 1500 ° C., the specific surface area is adjusted to be in the range of 1 to 100 m ² / g, and the crystallinity is improved and the oil absorption is controlled. The composite powder thus obtained can be obtained.

  According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, by blending the composite powder into a cosmetic, a cosmetic with excellent ultraviolet shielding effect, soft focus property and feel, reduced photocatalytic activity, and excellent stability over time can be obtained. Can do.

  Next, specific embodiments of the composite powder according to the present invention, its production method, and cosmetics will be described.

  In the present invention, the surface of the flaky substrate powder is coated with zinc oxide (spherical zinc oxide) whose shape is controlled to be spherical. Here, the primary particle diameter of the coated spherical zinc oxide is about 2 to 200 nm, and the primary particles accumulate to form a spherical powder of 20 to 5000 nm. The particle size of the accumulated spherical powder can be controlled by reaction conditions. The average primary particle size of the spherical particles of the composite powder is measured by observing with a transmission electron microscope (TEM), measuring the diameter of any 20 primary particles, and calculating the average value. Can do.

  The composite powder of the present invention is produced as follows. That is, the present invention is characterized in that the treatment is performed in two stages (Process I and Process II). In Process I, the ratio of zinc, glycol, amine compound, metal salt to be doped, and water is set to 100% by mass of the entire mixture. When the ratio of zinc is 0.01 to 10.0 mass%, the proportion of glycol is 10 to 50 mass%, the proportion of amine compound is 1 to 20 mass%, and the proportion of metal to be doped is 0.00001 to 0 Mix so that the ratio of water is within the range of 40 to 80% by mass. The flaky substrate powder is added so that the concentration of zinc oxide coated in the solution is in the range of 1 to 30% by mass. Thereafter, a soft solution reaction is performed for 10 minutes to 5 hours under a temperature condition of 50 ° C. to 100 ° C., followed by washing with water, filtration, drying, and pulverization, so that the zinc oxide that is the core of the spherical zinc oxide of the composite powder is coated. Thus obtained synthetic mica (flaky substrate powder) is obtained. In addition, you may stir during a heating reaction. Next, in Process II, when the ratio of zinc, glycol, amine compound and water is 100% by mass of the entire mixture, the ratio of zinc is 0.01 to 10.0% by mass and the ratio of glycol is 10 to 50% by mass. %, The ratio of the amine compound is 1 to 20% by mass, the ratio of the metal to be doped is 0.00001 to 0.5% by mass, and the ratio of water is 40 to 80% by mass. In the solution, synthetic mica (flaky substrate powder) coated with zinc oxide particles as a nucleus obtained in Process I is added so that the zinc oxide concentration is in the range of 5 to 80% by mass. Thereafter, a soft solution reaction is performed for 10 minutes to 5 hours under a temperature condition of 50 ° C. to 100 ° C., followed by washing with water, filtration, drying, and pulverization. Obtain a powder.

  As the water-soluble zinc compound, zinc nitrate, zinc sulfate, zinc acetate, zinc chloride and the like can be used.

  Examples of the glycol include ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, trimethylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,3-butanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, , 8-octanediol, 1,10-decanediol, pinacol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol and other alkylene glycols, cyclopentane-1,2-diol, cyclohexane-1,2-diol, cyclohexane-1,4-diol Alicyclic glycols such as propylene glycol monomethyl ether, propylene glycol monoethyl ether, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, tripropylene glycol monomethyl ether, 3-methyl-3-methoxybutyl Nord, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, triethylene glycol monomethyl ether, derivatives of monoethers and monoesters of glycols such as ethylene glycol monoacetate, and the like. Of these, it is particularly preferable to use ethylene glycol.

  Examples of the amine compound include ammonia, ethylamine, ethanolamine, diethylamine, diethanolamine, triethylamine, triethanolamine, hexamethylenetetramine, and the like. Of these, it is particularly preferable to use triethanolamine.

  The metal salts of metal ions with a valence of 4 or less are iron nitrate, zirconium nitrate, magnesium nitrate, cobalt nitrate, nickel nitrate, aluminum nitrate, calcium nitrate, copper nitrate, chromium nitrate, manganese nitrate, calcium chloride, and chloride. Silver, chromium chloride, cobalt chloride, tin chloride, iron chloride, copper chloride, nickel chloride, magnesium chloride, aluminum sulfate, calcium sulfate, silver sulfate, tin sulfate, iron sulfate, copper sulfate, nickel sulfate, magnesium sulfate, manganese sulfate, etc. However, it is not particularly limited as long as it satisfies the condition of capturing free electrons and holes by doping a metal oxide synthesized therefrom.

  The ratio of the metal oxide doped in zinc oxide is preferably 0.05% by mass to 10% by mass of the entire zinc oxide doped with the metal oxide. When the proportion of the metal oxide to be doped is less than 0.05% by mass, the effect of suppressing phototoxicity by the metal oxide cannot be exhibited. On the other hand, when it exceeds 10% by mass, the ultraviolet shielding effect is reduced. There's a problem.

  The reaction temperature in the reaction is preferably 50 ° C to 100 ° C, but the best condition is 70 ° C or higher. Moreover, you may carry out at high temperature of 100 degreeC or more by using reaction methods, such as an autoclave and a microwave hydrothermal method. However, since the reaction apparatus is expensive, it is preferable to set the reaction at 100 ° C. or lower, which allows the reaction to be performed by a generally used reaction apparatus.

  As firing conditions when firing the composite powder obtained by the above method, it is preferable to carry out in a temperature range of 300 ° C to 1500 ° C. More preferably, it is the range of 400 degreeC-800 degreeC. As a result of analysis by X-ray diffraction even when the firing temperature is less than 300 ° C, it can be confirmed that the coated spherical zinc oxide has a crystal structure of zinc oxide, but by firing at 400 ° C or higher, The crystal orientation is improved, and defects such as oxygen defects in the crystal are reduced. Further, the ultraviolet ray shielding effect can also shield the ultraviolet ray from the longer wavelength side wavelength. On the other hand, when the temperature is higher than 1500 ° C., the treatment is performed at a high temperature, the load on the environment is increased, and the zinc oxide is sintered and the spherical shape cannot be maintained.

  In order to impart hydrophobicity or oleophobicity to the composite powder of the present invention, surface treatment may be performed with polysiloxane, an alkylsilane compound, an alkyl titanate compound, a fluorine compound, or the like. In addition to the above compounds, various conventionally known surface treatments can be applied. A plurality of these processes can be combined. Next, the hydrophobic and oleophobic composite powder (coating composite powder) will be described.

  In the present invention, when the composite powder is used as a foundation or sunscreen agent, water resistance and oil resistance are required after being applied to the skin. Therefore, it is necessary to impart hydrophobicity and oleophobicity to the composite powder. . In order to impart hydrophobicity to the powder, the surface of the powder is coated with a compound such as polysiloxane, an alkylsilane compound, or an alkyl titanate compound. In order to impart hydrophobicity and oleophobicity to the powder, the surface of the powder is coated with a compound such as a fluorine compound.

Examples of this surface treatment include the following treatments.
a) Fluorine compound treatment: perfluoroalkyl phosphate treatment, perfluoroalkylsilane treatment, perfluoropolyether treatment, fluorosilicone treatment, fluorinated silicone resin treatment, etc. b) Silicone treatment: methyl hydrogen polysiloxane Treatment, dimethylpolysiloxane treatment, vapor phase tetramethyltetrahydrogencyclotetrasiloxane treatment, etc. c) pendant treatment: treatment to add alkyl chain after vapor phase silicone treatment d) silane coupling agent treatment e) titanium Treatment with coupling agent f) Treatment with aluminum coupling agent g) Treatment with oil agent h) Treatment with N-acylated lysine i) Treatment with polyacrylic acid j) Treatment with metal soap ... Treatment with stearate or myristate k) Acrylic Resin treatment l) Metal oxide Management m) polysaccharide processing n) naturally occurring component processing

  In addition, as a treatment method for coating the surface of a hydrophobic compound or an oleophobic compound, the powder to be coated is stirred in an appropriate mixer, and the compound to be coated is added under a droplet or by spraying for a certain period of time. Stir vigorously at high speed. Then, the method of performing the reaction surface coating process by making it heat-ripen at 80-200 degreeC, continuing stirring is common. Alternatively, the surface coating compound is dissolved in alcohols such as ethanol, isopropyl alcohol and isobutanol, hydrocarbon organic solvents such as toluene, n-hexane and cyclohexane, polar organic solvents such as acetone, ethyl acetate and butyl acetate. In addition, after adding and stirring the cosmetic powder to the solution while stirring, the organic solvent is completely removed by evaporation, and then the surface coating treatment is performed by heating and aging at 80 to 200 ° C. It is done.

  As the mixing and dispersing method, an appropriate method can be selected according to the concentration and viscosity of the solution. Suitable examples include a method using a mixer such as a disper, a Henschel mixer, a Redige mixer, a kneader, a V-type mixer, a roll mill, a bead mill, or a twin-screw kneader, or water and powder sprayed into heated air. It is possible to select a spray drying method or the like that removes at a stroke. When pulverization is performed, a normal pulverizer such as a hammer mill, a ball mill, a sand mill, or a jet mill can be used. Since any of these pulverizers can obtain the same quality, it is not particularly limited.

  In this case, the mass ratio of the component which is a compound used for the surface coating treatment of the powder is 0.5 to 30% by mass with respect to the powder to be coated. When the mass ratio is less than 0.5% by mass, the long lasting effect and the uniform adhesion to the skin are not sufficient, and when it exceeds 30% by mass, the feel becomes very oily and moist. Not suitable for.

  Further, the form of the cosmetic to which the surface-coated composite powder (coating composite powder) of the present invention is blended is not particularly limited, but foundation, sunscreen, serum, lotion, lipstick, beauty cream, facial cleanser, perfume, Mouth fresheners, bad breath prevention agents, gargles, toothpastes, bathing agents, antiperspirants, soaps, shampoos, rinses, body soaps, body lotions, deodorants, hair creams, whitening agents, skin cleansing agents, hair restorers, etc. It is done.

Further, 250 g of ethylene glycol was added, and then 31.2 g of triethanolamine was added and stirred. 11.4 g of flaky substrate powder (synthetic mica PDM-5L: manufactured by Topy Industries Co., Ltd.) was added thereto, and then heated to 90 ° C. at a rate of 2 ° C./min ⁻¹ to 90 ° C. After reaching the temperature, the temperature was maintained at 90 ° C. for 1 hour. Thereafter, washing with water, filtration and drying were performed to obtain a flaky substrate powder coated with zinc oxide as a core.

Process II: 0.20 g of iron nitrate.9 hydrate was added to 500 ml of 0.1 mol · dm ⁻³ aqueous zinc nitrate solution and dissolved.

Then, after washing with water, filtration, and drying, firing was performed at 400 ° C. for 2 hours to obtain a composite powder coated with 60% by mass of zinc oxide whose shape was controlled to be spherical.

(Production Comparative Example 1)
As a comparison with the production examples, a one-step process was performed. To 500 ml of 0.1 mol · dm ⁻³ aqueous zinc nitrate solution, 0.20 g of iron nitrate · 9 hydrate was added and dissolved. Further, 250 g of ethylene glycol was added, and then 62.5 g of triethanolamine was added and stirred. 2.7 g of flaky substrate powder (synthetic mica PDM-5L: manufactured by Topy Industries Co., Ltd.) was added thereto, and then heated to 90 ° C. at a rate of 2 ° C./min ⁻¹ to 90 ° C. After reaching, the temperature was maintained at 90 ° C. for 3 hours. Then, after performing water washing, filtration, and drying, baking was performed at 400 ° C. for 2 hours to obtain a composite powder coated with 60% by mass of zinc oxide as a whole.

  FIG. 1 shows photographs (a) and (b) obtained by observing the composite powder obtained in Production Example 1 with a scanning electron microscope, and FIG. Photographs (a) and (b) of the composite powder observed with a scanning electron microscope are shown. From these photographs, it can be understood that the surface of the flaky substrate powder is uniformly coated with zinc oxide whose shape is controlled in a spherical shape when the treatment is performed in two stages.

  FIG. 3 shows the X-ray diffraction results of the composite powder obtained in Production Example 1 and the untreated flaky substrate powder. From the X-ray diffraction results, it can be seen that the spherical zinc oxide coated on the surface of the obtained composite powder has a peak specific to zinc oxide.

  The composite powder obtained in Production Example 1 and Production Comparative Example 1 and the untreated flaky substrate powder (synthetic mica PDM-5L) are 20% by mass with silicone oil (SF8417 manufactured by Toray Dow Corning Co., Ltd.). Then, the mixture was dispersed with a Hoovermarler at 100 rpm for 3 times. Thereafter, a transpore tape was applied on a 5 cm × 8 cm quartz plate, and 0.08 g of the dispersion dispersed by the above method was uniformly applied on the tape. After standing for 15 minutes, Sun Protection Factor (SPF) was measured using an SPF analyzer (UV-1000S manufactured by Labsphere). The results are shown in Table 1. In the measurement result of SPF, it was found that when Comparative Example 1 and untreated were compared, there was a high ultraviolet shielding effect.

  Next, the transmittance was measured using the dispersion used in the above measurement. For the measurement of the transmittance, the dispersion was charged in a sandwich cell having an optical path length of 0.03 mm, and the transparency was measured with a spectrophotometer. FIG. 4 shows the transmittance measurement result. As shown in FIG. 4, it can be seen that the composite powder produced in Production Example 1 has higher transparency in the visible light region as compared with Production Comparative Example 1. Further, since the spherical zinc oxide particles are uniformly coated, it can be seen that the ultraviolet shielding effect derived from the band gap of zinc oxide is high.

  Next, as the feeling of use, the slipperiness of Production Example 1, Production Comparative Example 1 and untreated flaky substrate powder was measured. A sample was applied to the artificial leather with a makeup brush and measured with a friction tester (manufactured by Kato Tech, KES-SE). The results are shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, it can be seen that the composite powder obtained in Production Example 1 has the same slipperiness as that of the untreated powder. Therefore, it can be said that the composite powder is provided with an ultraviolet shielding effect and the like without impairing the feeling of use.
