Description

  The present invention relates to a skin cosmetic.

  In general, an emulsion or cream emulsion is used to care for a large area such as the body. However, these preparations do not have sufficient spread over the area that the user wants to apply. Therefore, the user repeats the operation of spreading the agent for the hand many times. In addition, such a preparation tends to become uneven in the process of spreading, and the stickiness after application is worrisome. On the other hand, the skin lotion-type solubilized preparation can give a fresh feel, but its viscosity is low, so it is difficult to handle and the care effect is weak.

  In response to such a problem, Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-48742) proposes a cosmetic material that has light elongation and spread by making the oil and fat into a foam.

  Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-273415) discloses a technique that achieves both good foaming and foam disappearance by putting a liquid containing a surfactant and a polymer into a discharge container to form a foam. Has been.

  In Patent Document 3 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-300909), a combination of an ethylene oxide / propylene oxide polymer (EO / PO), a polymer of butylene oxide and a water-soluble polyhydric alcohol, an effect of improving rough skin, and an effect of suppressing wrinkles. Cosmetics that are excellent and give skin elasticity are disclosed.

  However, in the technique described in Patent Document 1 described above, since the amount of the surfactant is small, a technique mainly centering on a foam-like aerosol product is described. Since aerosol products use propellants, there are restrictions on handling and disposal.

  Moreover, in the technique described in Patent Document 2, when an operation is performed in which a bubble taken in a hand is sandwiched between both hands and spread, the bubble is crushed. Therefore, it was difficult to apply to a large area in the application scene.

  Further, Patent Document 3 mentions a skin care effect by a combination of ethylene oxide / propylene oxide polymer (EO / PO), butylene oxide, and a general water-soluble polyhydric alcohol. However, there are problems in terms of elongation during coating, coating operation, and unevenness of the agent.

  That is, the present invention can be made into a firm foam shape at the time of use, can be easily applied to a large area of the body, and gives a smooth coating feeling without stickiness to the user when coating and drying. The present invention relates to a skin cosmetic that gives a sense of care.

  In general, aerosol preparations are used to discharge skin care preparations as foam. In this technique, a liquefied gas that suddenly volatilizes and expands at atmospheric pressure is enclosed in a can together with a preparation, and foamed by releasing the pressure all at once by discharge. Therefore, the prescription itself does not have to be foamed, and if it can be mixed with the liquefied gas even temporarily, it can be foamed with a wide range of compositions regardless of the emulsified and solubilized composition.

  Component (B) is blended, for example, in an amount of 0.1% by mass or more, preferably 0.2% by mass or more, and more preferably 0.3% by mass or more in the skin cosmetic from the viewpoint of the foaming effect. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of suppressing stickiness caused by the residual feeling, for example, it is 9% by mass or less, preferably 5% by mass or less.

  The component (A) is mixed with the component (B) to foam, and has a function of promoting foam film formation. Due to the action of the component (A), the foam becomes difficult to disappear when the skin cosmetic is spread on the palm.

The inventor then combines a specific nonionic surfactant of component (A) and component (B), which is a water-soluble alkylene compound having a short-chain alkyl group at the terminal, in a specific ratio to produce a pump former. It has been discovered that when discharged in a container, a clear foaming improvement and foam stability that have not been seen before are produced.
The compound of the component (B) which is water-soluble but weakly amphiphilic is dissolved in water because the alkyl group is too short to form micelles. Therefore, it is considered that the adsorption rate at the interface is fast, and the loss of the interface is prevented by compensating for the adsorption delay of the nonionic surfactant against the rapid increase in the gas-liquid interface at the pump former.
With this discovery, by combining a nonionic surfactant (component (A)) that is highly safe to the skin and a component (B) that is a compound having a protective effect on the skin, for example, with both hands Even after the operation of sandwiching and spreading to the palm of both hands, it is possible to maintain a good foam and to spread it over a wide area such as the body. Moreover, after application | coating, stickiness was suppressed and it came to obtain the formulation which can fully obtain the actual feeling that the smooth film feeling remained and was skin-care.

Furthermore, when this preparation is used without being washed away, the feel remaining on the skin is greatly influenced by the total amount of the component (A) and the component (B) ((A) + (B)). . At this time, (A) + (B) is 1% by mass or more, preferably 2% by mass or more, preferably 10% by mass or less, and preferably 5% by mass or less.
While satisfying the above range for (A) + (B), component (A) and component (B) have a mass ratio of (A) / (B) = 8 for good foamability and foam stability. / 1 to 1/9. Furthermore, it is preferable to use at a ratio of (A) / (B) = 7/1 to 1 / 2.5 from the viewpoint of imparting a high film feeling and enhancing the protective feeling of the skin.

Component (C) is water.
Since the foam is a gas-liquid interface partitioned by a double membrane of surfactant, water is an essential component for orienting the surfactant and maintaining adsorption to the membrane. For example, the water can be the balance excluding other components in the entire composition. Moreover, 70 mass% or more of water is contained, for example. Preferably, 80% by mass or more is contained. 99% or less is preferable, as for content of a component (C), More preferably, it is 98 mass% or less, More preferably, it is 90 mass% or less.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, it is preferable that components to be blended other than water are dissolved or finely dispersed in water. When an apparent phase separation state (for example, an emulsified state) occurs, there is a concern that the adsorption of the surfactant to the gas-liquid interface is inhibited, leading to defoaming. The preferable state here is to exhibit a transparent to translucent appearance. Experimentally, when 550 nm light is measured at a cell length of 10 mm, 90% or more is transmitted. % Or more.

  The skin cosmetic containing the above components (A) to (C) is used by being filled in a non-aerosol type foam discharge container.

The skin cosmetic containing components (A) to (C) is filled in a foam discharge container. The foam discharge container usually has a porous film, and examples of the porous film include a sponge, a sintered body, and a net. Among these porous membranes, if the cosmetic composition remaining on the membrane dries and solidifies, clogging occurs by the flow of bubbles at the next discharge, which immediately dissolves the solidified material and eliminates clogging. A net having a thin wall is preferable because it can be formed. The net is preferably 50 to 500 mesh, and particularly preferably 200 to 400 mesh in order to produce good foam. Moreover, nylon, polyester, etc. are mentioned as a preferable material of such a mesh.
Further, the foam discharge container preferably has a plurality of such films, and in particular, from the viewpoints of economy, foam stability, and the like, it is preferably two.

The foam discharge container may be any one as long as it mixes a certain amount of the cosmetic composition with a certain amount of air and discharges it in the form of a foam. No. 42787, Japanese Patent Publication No. 52-16567, etc., and a squeeze foamer used by pressing the torso of a soft container with fingers; and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-7963, Japanese Utility Model Publication 62- No. 103458, JP-A-7-315463, etc., and a pump former used by pressing a pump head (pushing part of a piston) provided with a finger with a finger.

  When a product intended to be applied to the skin is put into a foam discharge container such as a pump foamer and put out as a foam, the material acts to reduce the interfacial tension by quickly adsorbing to a sudden increase in the interface. It is considered necessary to select On the other hand, since it is important not to irritate the skin in skin care products, first, a material that is kind to the skin is first selected. Accordingly, the anionic or amphoteric surfactant used in the cleaning agent is preferably 2% by mass or less, more preferably 1% by mass or less. In general, among the nonionic surfactants, those having a long alkyl group having a carbon number of 12 or more, a large molecular weight, or an ester structure are preferable. These surfactants have high emulsifying ability and solubilizing ability, and are widely used for skin care products regardless of lotion or milky lotion.

  In this embodiment, skin cosmetics may contain components other than component (A)-(C). Hereinafter, other components will be described.

(Component (D))
Component (D) is a higher alcohol or fatty acid, more specifically, a higher alcohol or fatty acid having 10 to 22 carbon atoms and solid at 25 ° C. In the foam skin care product, when the component (D) is added, the agent is concentrated at the time of application to form a higher order structure of the surfactant, giving the skin a firm feeling after application. A feeling improves. Moreover, it has the effect that a smooth feeling continues until the next day by the combination with (E) oily component described later.

  As the component (D), straight chain alcohols are preferable, higher alcohols having 12 to 18 carbon atoms such as lauryl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, and straight chain lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, etc. 1 type (s) or 2 or more types chosen from the C12-C18 fatty acid of these can be used. In particular, myristyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, myristic acid, palmitic acid, and stearic acid are preferable because of their moist feeling.

  The content of the higher alcohol or fatty acid of the component (D) is preferably 0.01% by mass or more, more preferably 1% by mass or less, more preferably 1% by mass or less in the skin cosmetic from the viewpoint of imparting a moist feeling. It is 0.2 mass% or less.

  Component (D) is contained in the skin cosmetic at a ratio such that (D) / (A) = 1/30 to 1/7 in terms of mass ratio of component (D) to component (A). Thereby, a higher moist feeling and a smooth feeling can be obtained. Further, (D) / (A) is preferably blended at a ratio of 1/25 to 1/8.

  Moreover, skin cosmetics can contain the component (E) oil-based component generally used by skin care. At that time, since it is assumed to be foamed, a polar oil that has good compatibility with the nonionic surfactant and is easily solubilized is selected. From the above viewpoint, the inorganic value (IV) / organic value (OV) ratio of the oil component, that is, IOB is 0.3 or more, preferably 0.4 or more, and IOB is less than 0.8. 0.6 or less is preferable. By carrying out like this, it is easy to solubilize and the influence which it has on foam performance can be made small. Specific examples include ester compounds and amide compounds. Here, the IOB means an organic conceptual diagram (Akira Fujita, prediction of organic compounds and an organic conceptual diagram, chemistry area Vol. 11, No. 10 (1957) 719-725) and an organic value. It represents the ratio of values (Inorganic Organic Balance).

  As component (E), for example, olive oil (IOB 0.42, viscosity 73 cps), tri (capryl / capric acid) glycerin (IOB 0.32, viscosity 27 cps), synthesized ceramide-like component N- (hexadecyloxyhydroxy) One or more selected from propyl) -N-hydroxyethylhexadecanamide (IOB0.56, solid) can be used.

  The content of the oily component of the component (E) is, for example, 0.01% by mass or more in the skin cosmetic, for example, 0.3% by mass or less, preferably 0.2% by mass or less, and further preferably 0.2% by mass. It is preferable that it is 05 mass% or less. When there is too much content, it may become cloudy.

Moreover, when foaming property falls by addition of an oil-based component etc., it is preferable to use a small amount of anionic surfactant together. In that case, in view of irritation to the skin and the like, the addition amount of the anionic surfactant is preferably 2% by mass or less in the skin cosmetic. Furthermore, about 0.05-0.5 mass% is optimal.
Specific examples of the anionic surfactant include one or more selected from alkyl ethoxy ether acetates, acylated glutamates, acylated glycine salts, and acylated taurates having an alkyl chain having 12 to 14 carbon atoms. Can be used.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the skin cosmetic has a polyol having two or more hydroxyl groups in an alkyl group having 3 to 6 carbon atoms (C3 to C6), and a sugar having two or more hydroxyl groups in a monosaccharide or disaccharide sugar skeleton. Alternatively, it may further contain one or more water-soluble humectants selected from the group consisting of sugar alcohols. This component has a function of giving moisture to the skin.

Specific examples of the water-soluble humectant include, for example, ethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, 1,2-butylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, isoprene glycol, 1, Polyols such as 2-pentanediol, hexylene glycol, octylene glycol, glycerin; and sugars or sugar alcohols such as xylitol, sorbitol, maltitol, mannitol, sucrose, erythritol, glucose and fructose. Among these, 1,3-butylene glycol, isoprene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, dipropylene glycol and 1,2-pentanediol are preferable. Since these polyols function not only as a humectant but also as a solvent, they have an effect of promoting foaming by promoting dissolution of the component (A) surfactant. Moreover, since these compounds have antibacterial properties, there is an advantage that an antiseptic system with less irritation to the skin can be constructed.

  From the viewpoint of the moisturizing effect on the skin, the water-soluble humectant is blended in the skin cosmetic, for example, 0.5% by mass or more, preferably 1% by mass or more, and more preferably 3% by mass or more. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of suppressing heat sensation during use and stickiness when dried, the water-soluble humectant is, for example, 20% by mass or less, preferably 15% by mass or less, more preferably 10% by mass in the skin cosmetic. The following is blended.

  In the present embodiment, the skin cosmetic further includes components usually used in cosmetics, for example, surfactants other than those described above, water-soluble solvents other than those described above, thickeners, bactericides, moisturizers, wetting agents, and coloring agents. One or two or more components selected from antiseptics, feel improvers, fragrances, anti-inflammatory agents, whitening agents, antiperspirants, ultraviolet absorbers and the like can be appropriately contained.

Next, the manufacturing method of skin cosmetics is demonstrated.
In the present embodiment, the skin cosmetic can be produced by blending and mixing the components in a predetermined order. When the components (A) to (C) are blended, for example, each component is heated to about 80 ° C. after measurement, mixed and stirred to make it uniform. In the case of skin cosmetics containing component (D) or component (E), specifically, among components (A) to (E), each component except component (C) is heated to 80 ° C. and mixed. Stir to homogenize. To this, the component (C) solution heated to about 80 ° C. is added little by little with stirring to make it uniform. Then, it cools to about 25 degreeC, stirring, and manufactures.

  The viscosity of the obtained skin cosmetic is, for example, 0.5 mPa · s or more, 50 mPa · s or less, preferably 40 mPa · s or less, from the viewpoint of improving the foamability by improving the discharge property from the discharge pump. More preferably, it is 30 mPa · s or less.

Moreover, the obtained skin cosmetic can be used, for example, by a method in which the skin cosmetic is discharged from a foam discharge container and applied to the skin. The skin cosmetic in the present embodiment can be easily spread regardless of the face or body, but is particularly useful as a cosmetic for body lotions, hand care agents, etc. applied to a large area.
Further, the skin cosmetic in the present embodiment is, for example, in the form of a foam, can be uniformly applied to a large area of the body, has little stickiness, and can give moisture without worrying about dirt on clothes.
The skin cosmetic in the present embodiment is used, for example, by taking the foam discharged from the foam discharge container, applying it directly to the skin as it is without diluting it with water, spreading it quickly, and applying it well. Moreover, after apply | coating to skin, you may massage the composition well. Basically, it is preferably used in such a manner that it is not washed away with water.
