Description

  The present invention relates to an external preparation for skin.

  Conventionally, an external preparation for skin containing a synthetic or natural extract having a blood circulation promoting action on the skin has been used.

These extracts are not effective with a small amount of formulation, and because of the reason that the skin irritation is too great with a large amount of formulation, a proposal of a topical skin preparation containing carbon dioxide gas to promote blood circulation promotion Has been made. Many of these generate carbon dioxide by the reaction between an acidic substance and a carbon dioxide-generating substance. As a dosage form of these external preparations for skin, there are those in which an acidic substance and a carbon dioxide generating substance are separated from each other from the viewpoint of maintaining the carbonation generating ability of the external preparation for a long period of time, and they are mixed and foamed at the time of use. Known (Patent Documents 1 and 2).
On the other hand, an external preparation for skin containing an acidic substance and a carbon dioxide generating substance and mixed with a viscous composition containing water and a thickener at the time of use is also known (Patent Document 3).

<Polysaccharides or derivatives thereof>
Examples of polysaccharides or derivatives thereof used in the present invention include various types that can be used in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical fields. Specific examples of polysaccharides include xanthan gum, succinoglycan, carrageenan, guar gum, locust bean gum, galactan, gum arabic, tragacanth gum, tamarind gum, agar, agarose, mannan, hyaluronic acid and its salts, chondroitin sulfate and its Hydrophilic natural polymers such as salts, curdlan, pectin, alginic acid and salts thereof, starch, dextrin, celluloses; starch derivatives such as carboxymethyl starch and salts thereof, acrylic acid grafted starch and salts thereof, hydroxypropyl cellulose and Derivatives thereof, hydroxyethylcellulose and derivatives thereof, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose phthalate, and hydrocarbons having a hydrocarbon group such as stearyl group Derivatives of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose such as propylmethylcellulose, sulfonated cellulose derivatives, carboxymethylcellulose and derivatives thereof, and salts thereof, carboxymethylethylcellulose and salts thereof, cellulose acetate phthalate, O- [2-hydroxy-3- (trimethylammoni) chloride (E) cation] hydrophilic synthetic polymers such as cationized cellulose such as hydroxyethylcellulose (also referred to as “polyquaternium-10”), and cellulose derivatives such as ethylcellulose, chlorcarmellose and salts thereof. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more. As exemplified above, dextrin is not included in the starch derivative herein.

Examples of the hydroxyethyl cellulose derivative include hydroxyethyl cellulose acetate, hydroxyethyl cellulose propionate, and polyquaternium-67. Examples of the derivatives of methyl cellulose include carboxymethyl cellulose acetate, carboxymethyl cellulose propionate, and methylamide cellulose gum.

  In addition, the polysaccharide or derivative thereof used in the present invention is highly soluble in water and / or dispersible, so that when the external preparation for skin of the present invention is mixed with a water-containing substance, it is uniform. It is preferable because it can dissolve or / and disperse in water, and can relieve the feeling of rough skin caused by the undissolved component. Here, whether water solubility or dispersibility is good is that, when water at about room temperature is added and stirred, the external preparation for skin is uniformly dissolved or dispersed in a short time, and no lumps are generated during dissolution, etc. It can be judged from.

  From the viewpoint of solubility and dispersibility in water described above, preferable examples of polysaccharides or derivatives thereof include, for example, xanthan gum, succinoglycan, carrageenan, guar gum, locust bean gum, galactan, gum arabic, gum tragacanth, Examples include tamarind gum, agar, agarose, mannan, hyaluronic acid and salts thereof, curdlan, alginic acid and salts thereof, starch and derivatives thereof, dextrin, cellulose and cellulose derivatives.

Among the polysaccharides or derivatives thereof used in the present invention, only one type may be used, but it is preferable to use two or more types in combination. This is due to the following reason.
Many polysaccharides or derivatives thereof are dissolved or dispersed in water and exhibit a thickening effect. In addition, the addition of polysaccharides or derivatives thereof to the external preparation for skin enhances the stability of the external preparation for skin before use and storage, prevents the reaction between the acid and the carbon dioxide generating substance, There is also an advantage of preventing the occurrence. Among polysaccharides or derivatives thereof, those that contribute more to the thickening effect than stability during storage (hereinafter also referred to as A type polysaccharides or derivatives thereof) are more stable during storage than thickening effect. Since there is also a thing that contributes to a lot of properties (hereinafter referred to as B type polysaccharides or derivatives thereof), by combining both types of polysaccharides or derivatives thereof, a thickening effect and stability during storage Both can be improved. A type polysaccharides or derivatives thereof include xanthan gum, carrageenan, hyaluronic acid and cellulose and salts or derivatives thereof. B type polysaccharides or derivatives thereof are preferably starches or derivatives thereof and dextrins. Listed as sugars. By using the B-type polysaccharide or a derivative thereof, generation of carbon dioxide during storage of the external preparation for skin can be suppressed. In particular, it is preferable to use starch or a derivative thereof because generation of carbon dioxide gas is effectively suppressed, and long-term storage stability is further improved. In the present invention, when starch or a derivative thereof is used, the preferred amount of use can be 3% by mass or more, particularly 5% by mass or more, particularly 10% by mass or more in the external preparation for skin.
In the present invention, it is also preferable that there are many types of polysaccharides or derivatives thereof, for example, combinations of 3 or more types.

  Further, as is apparent from the comparison of Examples described later, for example, Examples 1 and 2, the present inventors have used a polysaccharide or a derivative thereof in combination of two or more, when only one is used. Compared with hydrated substances, the skin external preparation (mixture) has a high ability to retain carbon dioxide when mixed with water-containing substances, making it difficult for the mixture applied to the skin to drip, improving redness, improving elasticity, etc. We found that it was easy to use and that it improved usability including ease of application and removal. Furthermore, as is clear from Examples 6 to 10, it was found that these effects were higher in the presence of an extract containing a water-soluble protein and / or a natural surfactant, particularly saponin.

  In the present invention, the content of the polysaccharide or derivative thereof in the external preparation for skin is preferably 8% by mass or more and 50% by mass or less, and more preferably 11% by mass or more and 45% by mass or less. It is preferable that the content of the polysaccharide or the derivative thereof is 8% by mass or more and 50% by mass or less from the viewpoint of handling at the time of use, particularly from the viewpoint that it is easy to mix when mixed with a hydrous substance and is difficult to sag during use. If it is less than 8% by mass, it tends to sag during use, and if it exceeds 50% by mass, it is difficult to mix at the time of mixing, and also thickens immediately after mixing with a water-containing substance, making it difficult to apply to the site of use. Therefore, it is not preferable.

  In addition, when a polysaccharide of type A or a derivative thereof and a polysaccharide of type B or a derivative thereof are used in combination as a polysaccharide or a derivative thereof, the mass ratio of both is 100 mass of the polysaccharide of A or a derivative thereof. The B polysaccharide or derivative thereof is preferably 10 parts by mass or more and 1000 parts by mass or less, and more preferably 20 parts by mass or more and 800 parts by mass or less with respect to parts.

<Usage form of external preparation for skin>
In use, the external preparation for skin of the present invention causes foaming by mixing with a water-containing substance on the palm or in a container.
The external preparation for skin of the present invention may be used as a one-part type external preparation for skin, or may be used as a two-part type comprising a hydrous substance and a kit. When the external preparation for skin of the present invention is a one-pack type, as described above, the external preparation for skin is usually a solid composition, and more preferably in the form of a solid, granule, fine particle, or powder. Since it is easy to mix with a hydrous substance and foaming easily occurs, it is particularly preferable to be in the form of granules, fine granules, or powders. In addition, when the external preparation for skin of the present invention is a one-component type, it usually does not substantially contain water. Here, “substantially free of water” means that the acid substance and the carbon dioxide generating substance react during storage of the external preparation for skin and do not contain the amount of water necessary for generating carbon dioxide. . Specifically, the amount of water contained in the external preparation for skin of the present invention is 15% by mass or less, preferably 10% by mass or less, more preferably 8% by mass or less. When the external preparation for skin of the present invention is a two-pack type comprising a hydrous substance and a kit, the agent containing an acidic substance, a carbon dioxide generating substance and at least one polysaccharide is usually a solid composition, More preferably, it is in the form of a solid, granule, fine granule, powder, and since it is easy to mix with a hydrous substance and foaming easily occurs, it may be in the form of a granule, fine granule, powder. Particularly preferred. In addition, when the external preparation for skin of the present invention is of a two-pack type, the solid composition usually contains substantially no water. Here, “substantially free of water” means that the acid substance and the carbon dioxide generating substance react during storage of the external preparation for skin and do not contain the amount of water necessary for generating carbon dioxide. . Specifically, the amount of water contained in the external preparation for skin of the present invention is 15% by mass or less, preferably 10% by mass or less, more preferably 8% by mass or less. When the external preparation for skin of the present invention is a one-part type, the user usually prepares a water-containing substance for mixing with the external preparation for skin, and in the case of two-part type, as described above, the external preparation for skin of the present invention And the hydrous material constitute a kit. When the external preparation for skin is a one-pack type, a liquid containing water is often used as a water-containing substance. In the case of the two-component type, examples of the water-containing substance include a liquid containing water and a gel. As the hydrous substance, a liquid is preferable, a liquid having a low viscosity is more preferable, and a liquid having no viscosity is particularly preferable. It is preferable that the water-containing substance does not substantially contain the above thickener. Specifically, the content of the thickener in the water-containing substance is preferably 0.5% by mass or less, more preferably 0.1% by mass or less, and 0.01% by mass or less. Is particularly preferred. In particular, when the external preparation for skin is a two-part type, it is more effective to mix the external preparation for skin with a liquid, particularly a liquid having a relatively low viscosity, compared with the case of mixing with a gel. Since it is played, it is preferable. When the external preparation for skin of the present invention is mixed with gel or a liquid having a relatively high viscosity, it is not preferable because the two agents are difficult to mix and it takes time to foam. Specifically, the water-containing material has a viscosity at 25 ° C. of preferably 50000 mPa · s or less, more preferably 30000 mPa · s or less, particularly preferably 10000 mPa · s or less, and further preferably 5000 mPa · s or less. . This viscosity can be measured with a viscometer used in the following examples. The water content in the hydrous material may be 10% by mass or more, and preferably 30% by mass or more. More preferably, it is 40 mass% or more, More preferably, it is 50 mass%, It is especially preferable that it is 70 mass% or more, Especially 80 mass% or more. When the water content is less than 10% by mass, carbon dioxide gas is hardly generated when the skin external preparation and the water-containing substance are mixed, and effects such as blood flow promotion during use cannot be obtained.
Here, a high lower limit such as 70% by mass or more and 80% by mass or more can be adopted for both the one-part type and the two-part type, but is particularly preferable in the case of the one-part type.

  When the external preparation for skin of the present invention is a one-pack type, it is characterized by being easy to handle at a lower cost than a two-pack type by being made into one. In the case of the one-drug type, the water-containing substance used in the present invention can be a liquid containing water that is usually used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, etc., or used in general households. The liquid containing water may be water itself. Specifically, in addition to tap water, distilled water, membrane filtered water, ion exchange water, deep ocean water, sake, wine and other alcoholic beverages, soy milk, drinking yogurt, acerola juice, sports beverages, carbonated water beverages, rice Notogi soup and so on. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  In addition, when the external preparation for skin of the present invention and the hydrated substance are combined to form a two-pack type, the hydrated substance includes, as described above, a liquid or gel containing water, and the water and water mentioned above. In addition to liquids containing any of these, there may be mentioned those obtained by adding arbitrary components thereto. As this component, a known component contained in a liquid preparation for a two-part skin external preparation, for example, a moisturizer, a surfactant, a pH adjuster, a volatile alcohol, an oil or fat, a fragrance, an animal or plant extract, etc. Can do. For example, as a humectant, polyglycerin such as glycerin, diglycerin, triglycerin, tetraglycerin, ethylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, 1,4-butylene glycol, propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, 1 , 3-propanediol, sorbitol, polyglycerin derivatives and other polyhydric alcohols, polyoxyalkylene alkyl glucosides, sodium lactate, sodium pyrrolidonecarboxylate, almonds, avocado, altea, aloe, usvenia oyster, onionis, oats, licorice, quince seed, Clara (kujin), gardenia, grapefruit, watercress, gentiana, genus shoko, burdock, wheat, saishin, cactus, bonito, hawthorn, jiou Shimotake, ginger, mallow, mulberry, prickly-spotted caterpillar, cordyceps, mint, pearl barley, clam, rose, cypress, dandelion, grapes, prunes, loofah, bodaiju, hop, pine, quince, maronier, melissa, cornflower, lily, lily Plant extracts such as lavender, apple, rice and rice bran, black currant, Ibukitorano, Neubara, Ezoukogi, seaweed, etc., and one or more of these can be used.

  The amount of the water-containing substance to be used is not particularly limited and can be used in a wide range. For example, it is preferably added in an amount of 1 to 10 times by mass with respect to the external preparation for skin, and 2 to 5 times. It is more preferable to add the amount. By adding more than 1 times the amount of liquid, the external preparation for skin can be quickly dissolved, and a sufficient amount of carbon dioxide gas can be generated. On the other hand, dripping due to a decrease in viscosity of the external preparation for skin can be prevented by adding the liquid within 10 times the amount.

  The temperature of the hydrated substance to be used is not particularly limited, and a wide range can be used. However, it is particularly preferable to use the hydrated substance after cooling in advance because the action of the active ingredient of the external preparation for skin is enhanced. The usable temperature range is preferably water at about room temperature or tap water from the viewpoint of usability during application and user convenience.

  The method for preserving the external preparation for skin is not particularly limited as long as it is stored in a state where it blocks moisture and does not come into contact. The shape of the storage container to be used can be appropriately selected according to the purpose, and examples thereof include cup shape, tube shape, bag shape, bottle shape, stick shape, pump shape, jar shape, and canned shape. Moreover, the material which comprises a storage container can use plastics, glass, aluminum, paper, various polymers, etc. individually or in combination of 2 or more types, for example, It is not limited to these.

  Specific examples of containers include: aluminum sticks laminated with polyethylene terephthalate on the inner surface, storage bags such as aluminum bags, stand pouch with chuck, polyethylene terephthalate on the inner surface in terms of hermeticity, storage stability of contents, manufacturing cost, etc. A storage container made of polyethylene terephthalate in which the lid is heat-sealed with an aluminum film or the like laminated with is preferable.

  EXAMPLES Hereinafter, although an Example is shown and this invention is demonstrated further more concretely, the scope of the present invention is not limited to these Examples. In the following examples and comparative examples, commercially available products were used unless otherwise specified.

<Examples 1-10, Comparative Examples 1-3>
Each component shown in Table 1 was blended and mixed in the composition shown in the same table, and the powdered skin external preparations of Examples 1 to 10 and the powdered skin external preparations of Comparative Examples 1 to 3 were produced. . The numerical value of the following Table 1 is a mass ratio (mass%) in a skin external preparation.

  According to the following [Evaluation of Examples 1 to 10 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3], the characteristics of the skin external preparations of the above Examples and Comparative Examples were evaluated.

[Evaluation of Examples 1 to 10 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3]
(1) Sensory evaluation As subjects, three healthy women in their 20s to 30s were randomly selected. The inner side of the subject's forearm was washed with face wash and rested in the measurement room for 15 minutes. Subsequently, the powdery skin external preparation sample and water were mixed in a container at a ratio of 1: 3 (mass ratio) to obtain a mixture that was a foamy pack cosmetic. This mixture was applied to the 4 cm × 4 cm portion inside the forearm. Ten minutes after application, the mixture was removed from the forearm and the forearm was washed with water. After that, as an evaluation of the feeling of use, “easy to mix”, “easy to apply”, “difficult to sag” and “easy to remove”, and the condition of the skin after use, “moist feeling” ”,“ Skin elasticity ”,“ Skin brightness ”and“ Skin redness ”were surveyed. For each item, points were assigned to the 7 levels shown in Table 2, and after aggregation, the average value of 3 people was obtained. The results are shown in Table 3. In addition, about "sagging difficulty", after application | coating, it was highly evaluated so that the mixture did not sag easily from skin. In addition, the higher the moisture content of the skin, the higher the “water content”, and the higher the “skin redness”, the higher the skin redness.

  From the results of Table 3 above, in the skin external preparations of each Example containing polysaccharides or derivatives thereof, the feeling of use such as ease of mixing, ease of application, resistance to dripping, ease of removal, and moist feeling It can be seen that it is superior to Comparative Examples 1 to 3 in terms of both skin condition improvement effects such as elasticity, brightness and redness. Furthermore, it turns out that Example 2, 6-10 containing 2 or more types of polysaccharide or its derivative | guide_body has a higher effect of both the improvement of this usability | use_condition and the state of skin. Moreover, when it contains water-soluble protein like Example 3, 6, 8, 10, the feeling of use and the improvement of the state of skin become still higher, like Example 4, 5, 7, 9. It can be seen that, when an extract containing saponin, which is a natural surfactant, is contained instead of the water-soluble protein, these effects become higher than those of the water-soluble protein. Moreover, it turns out that the high effect is acquired in Example 3, 5-10 containing GK2, salicylic acid, or arbutin. For example, as is apparent from the comparison between Examples 4 and 5, by containing GK2 which is a natural surfactant (and anti-inflammatory agent and whitening agent), not only the effect of improving the condition such as redness of the skin is enhanced, but also the skin The usability of external preparations is also improved. From the above results, when using two types of polysaccharides or derivatives thereof as in Examples 2 to 5 compared to Example 1 using one type of polysaccharide or derivatives thereof, water-soluble proteins, natural surfactants are used. By using together, it turns out that a higher usability and the skin condition improvement effect can be acquired. Moreover, it turns out that both a usability | use_condition and a skin condition improvement effect improve further by using together polysaccharide or its 2 types or more and water-soluble protein or a natural surfactant like Examples 6-10. .

(2) Measurement of skin condition For the sensory evaluation of (1) above, the L * value, the amount of stratum corneum, and the elasticity at the location where the mixture was planned to be applied inside the forearm before application of the mixture were measured with the following measuring devices. And after removing a mixture and wash | cleaning with water, the L * value of the location which applied the mixture of the said forearm inner side, keratin water content, and elasticity was measured similarly. From the measured values obtained, the average value of three subjects was determined. The average value after using the external preparation for skin was divided by the average value before use, and the obtained value was defined as the rate of change. The change rate of the L * value (whiteness) is shown in FIG. 1, the change rate of keratin water content is shown in FIG. 2, and the change rate of elasticity is shown in FIG. In these figures, the higher the rate of change, the higher the evaluation.

-L * value: Measured with a color difference meter (CR-400 manufactured by Konica Minolta).
-Keratin water content: Measured with a skin keratin water content measuring device SKICON-200EX (manufactured by IBI S). This skin stratum corneum moisture measuring device evaluates the skin conductance (electrical conductivity, unit: μS) as the amount of stratum corneum moisture.
Elasticity: Measured with a skin viscoelasticity measuring device Cutometer MPA580 (Courage + Khazaka).
These measurements were performed by standard methods described in the instructions provided with the instrument.

  From the results of FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, in each example, the rate of change equal to or greater than that of each comparative example is obtained for the L * value, keratin water content, and elasticity of the skin after using the external preparation for skin. I understand. In particular, inclusion of two or more polysaccharides or derivatives thereof, inclusion of water-soluble protein, inclusion of an extract containing saponin which is a natural surfactant, glycyrrhizinate which is a natural surfactant (inflammatory agent and whitening agent) It can be seen that the L * value, the amount of stratum corneum, and the rate of change in elasticity are increased by one or two or more factors selected from the inclusion of whitening agent and the inclusion of other whitening agents or bactericides. For example, it can be seen from the comparison between Examples 1 and 2 that when two or more polysaccharides or derivatives thereof are contained, the L * value, the amount of keratin moisture, and the elasticity are improved. In addition, it can be seen from the comparison of Examples 1 and 3 that the L * value, the amount of keratin water content, and the elasticity are improved when a water-soluble protein and glycyrrhizinate are contained. In addition, it can be seen from the comparison between Examples 1 and 4 that when an extract containing saponin is contained, the L * value, the amount of stratum corneum, and the elasticity are improved. In addition, it can be seen from the comparison between Examples 4 and 5 that when glycyrrhizinate is contained, the amount of keratin moisture is improved. From the comparison of Examples 6 and 8 and the comparison of Examples 7 and 9, it can be seen that the addition of a bactericide improves the keratin water content and elasticity. Moreover, it can be seen from Example 10 that L * value is improved when arbutin is contained as a whitening agent.

(3) Evaluation of external preparation for skin 27 mL of water was put into a bottle (225 mL) having a diameter of about 4.8 cm and a height of about 10.5 cm, and 9 g of powdered external preparation for skin was added thereto, and 20 times in 10 seconds. Stir. About the obtained mixture, the following <foaming amount> and <carbon dioxide generation amount> were evaluated.

<Amount of foaming>
The volume of the mixture after 1 minute, 10 minutes and 20 minutes after stirring was measured, and the volume increase rate (%) relative to the volume before stirring was determined. The result is shown in FIG.

<CO2 generation amount>
Carbon dioxide generated from the stirred mixture was collected by water displacement. The accumulated amount (mL) of collected carbon dioxide gas at each time point after 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, and 30 minutes after stirring was measured. The result is shown in FIG.

From the results of FIG. 4, it can be seen that the external preparation for skin of each Example does not easily decrease the volume of the mixture even after a lapse of time, and a certain amount of carbon dioxide gas is retained in the mixture. This effect is selected from the inclusion of two or more polysaccharides or derivatives thereof, the inclusion of water-soluble protein, the inclusion of an extract containing saponin, the inclusion of glycyrrhizinate, and the inclusion of other whitening agents or fungicides. Increased by inclusion of an extract containing one or more factors, particularly water-soluble proteins or saponins, and inclusion of glycyrrhizinate. For example, it can be seen from the comparison of Examples 1 and 2 that when two or more polysaccharides or derivatives thereof are contained, the carbon dioxide retention in the resulting mixture is improved. From the comparison of Examples 1 and 3, it can be seen that the inclusion of water-soluble protein and glycyrrhizinate improves the carbon dioxide retention in the resulting mixture. In addition, it can be seen from the comparison between Examples 1 and 4 that when an extract containing saponin is contained, the carbon dioxide retention in the resulting mixture is improved. From the comparison of Examples 4 and 5, it can be seen that the inclusion of glycyrrhizinate improves the carbon dioxide retention in the resulting mixture.
On the other hand, in each comparative example, it is found that the bubbles of the mixture are not easily held, and the volume of the mixture after stirring is likely to decrease, that is, the amount of carbon dioxide gas that can be held in the mixture is small.

From the results of FIG. 5, in each example, carbon dioxide gas was generated relatively gently during the period from stirring to 5 minutes, and thereafter, although there is a gradual slope, carbon dioxide gas generation from the mixture was stopped. It turns out that it is continuing without. In particular, in Examples 2 to 10 containing an extract containing two or more polysaccharides or derivatives thereof, a water-soluble protein or saponin, glycyrrhizinate, or other whitening agents and bactericides, carbon dioxide is generated. It can be seen that tends to continue for a long time. For example, it can be seen from the comparison of Examples 1 and 3 that when water-soluble protein and glycyrrhizinate are contained, the amount of carbon dioxide generated is improved. Further, it can be seen from the comparison between Examples 1 and 4 that the amount of carbon dioxide generated is improved when an extract containing saponin is contained. Moreover, it turns out that the generation amount of a carbon dioxide gas improves when it contains glycyrrhizinate from the comparison of Example 4 and 5.
On the other hand, in each of Comparative Examples 1 to 3, although the carbon dioxide generation speed from stirring to 3 minutes later is high, it is understood that the subsequent generation stops or the amount of generated carbon dioxide itself is low. .

<Examples 11 to 17>
Each component was blended and mixed at the blending ratio shown in Table 4 below to produce a powdery external skin preparation. The numerical values in Table 4 are mass ratios (mass%) in the external preparation for skin.

[Evaluation of Examples 11 to 17]
<Sensory evaluation>
Three healthy women in their 20s to 30s were randomly selected as subjects different from the subjects who evaluated Examples 1 to 10 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3. Other than that, after using a powdery skin external preparation sample in the same manner as “(1) Sensory evaluation” in [Evaluation of Examples 1 to 10 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3] above, A questionnaire was conducted on the evaluation items. For each item, using Example 17 as a reference (4.0 points), scores were assigned to the seven stages shown in Table 2 above, and after aggregation, the average value of three persons was obtained. The results are shown in Table 5 below. In addition, about the following "stimulation", it was highly evaluated so that there was a tingling feeling. In addition, the “stickiness of skin” was rated high enough to prevent stickiness.
Evaluation items: “Ease of application”, “Pleasantness at the time of application”, “Good appearance of the applied mixture”, “Hardness of dripping”, “Irritation (existence of tingling)”, “ Eight items of “Ease of mixture to spread”, “Difficult to stick to mixture”, “Ease of removal of mixture”, Skin condition after use, “Smoothness of skin”, “Smoothness of skin”, A total of 15 items including 7 items of “smooth skin feel”, “smooth skin feel”, “skin firmness”, “skin tightness” and “skin brightness”.

  From the results of Table 5 above, each active ingredient (including the second water-soluble protein is also included) in the composition of Example 17 containing an acidic substance, carbon dioxide generating substance, polysaccharide or derivative thereof, and one water-soluble protein. In Examples 11 to 16 to which) is added, it can be seen that both the feeling of use and the improvement of the skin condition are improved. In particular, it can be seen that when the external preparation for skin of Example 11 to which a gold foil is added is used, the feeling of use such as comfort at the time of application and good appearance is improved. Moreover, it turns out that the brightness of skin etc. improve when the skin external preparation of Example 12 which added the pearl powder was used. Further, it can be seen that when the skin external preparation of Example 13 to which collagen is added is used, moist feeling and smoothness are improved. In addition, when the external preparation for skin of Example 14 to which hydrolyzed collagen is added is used, the ease of application, comfort, appearance and the like are improved during use, and the skin feels smooth and smooth after use. It turns out that it improves. It can also be seen that the use of the skin external preparation of Example 15 with placenta improves the smoothness, smoothness and the like after use. It can be seen that when Example 16 with arbutin added was used, the ease of application, comfort, and spread during use improved, and the smoothness and brightness of the skin after use improved.

[Evaluation of Examples 14 to 17]
<Measurement of skin condition>
In <Sensory Evaluation> in the above [Evaluation of Examples 11 to 17], the amount of water transpiration (g / m ² / hr) at the planned application position on the inner side of the forearm before application of the mixture was measured with the following measuring device. Thereafter, even after the mixture was removed and washed with water, the amount of water transpiration (g / m ² / hr) at the location where the mixture was applied on the inner side of the forearm was measured in the same manner.

-Moisture transpiration (g / m ² / hr): Measured with Tewameter TM300 (Courage + Khazaka). This measurement was performed by the standard method described in the instructions attached to the instrument.
From the measured values obtained, the average value of three subjects was determined. The average value before use was divided from the average value after use of the external preparation for skin to determine the rate of change. The rate of change in the amount of moisture transpiration obtained is shown in FIG. The lower the change rate, the higher the evaluation.

  From the results of FIG. 6 described above, when the skin external preparations of Example 14 in which hydrolyzed collagen was added, Example 15 in which placenta was added, and Example 16 in which arbutin was added to the composition of Example 17 were used, It can be seen that the amount of water transpiration in the sample is further suppressed. In particular, it can be seen that the suppression effect of Example 15 to which placenta is added is high.

[Evaluation of Example 21 and Comparative Examples 4 and 5]
(1) Sensory evaluation Four healthy women in their 20s and 30s were randomly selected as subjects. Other than that, the same sensory evaluation as (1) sensory evaluation of [Evaluation of Examples 1 to 10 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3] was performed. However, in Example 21, the powdered external preparation for skin and water were mixed at a mass ratio of 1: 2.7. In Comparative Example 4, a powder containing carbonate and a liquid containing acid were mixed at a mass ratio of 1: 3 to obtain a mixture. In Comparative Example 5, an acid-containing powder and a carbonate-containing viscous composition were mixed at a mass ratio of 1: 3.68 to obtain a mixture. In addition, the evaluation items are two items of “skin elasticity” and “skin redness” as the skin condition after the use of the external preparation for skin, and the 7-point score shown in Table 2 is based on Comparative Example 4 (4. A score of 0 was assigned. After aggregation, the average value of the four evaluation points was determined. The results are shown in Table 12.

[Evaluation of Example 24]
<Anti-wrinkle function evaluation>
As subjects, 16 adult women with wrinkles in the corners of their eyes were selected. The powdered skin preparation for external use and water are mixed at a ratio of 1: 3 (mass ratio) in a container, and the mixture, which is a foam pack cosmetic, is applied to the specified half-face centered on either the right or left eye corner. Applied. Ten minutes after application, the mixture was removed and rinsed with water or lukewarm water. The subjects performed this once a day for 4 weeks. For the evaluation of wrinkles, replicas of wrinkles on the left and right corners of the subject (with and without application of the mixture) were collected, and image analysis was performed using the replicas. The replica was collected using a replica agent (SILFLO) in the range of 4 cm × 4 cm outward from the outer eye corner of the subject. The obtained replica was analyzed for a range of 10 mm × 10 mm with a point about 5 mm away from the outer eye corner to the outside of the face. The analysis was carried out using a replica analysis system for reflection (ASA-03RXD) and 3D skin analysis software. Table 17 shows the results of the maximum wrinkle maximum depth, which is the evaluation result of wrinkles. When the amount of change is positive, it indicates that the wrinkles are deeper than before use, and when the amount is negative, it indicates that the wrinkles are shallower than before use.

  From Table 17, it was confirmed that by using the external preparation for skin of the present invention, the maximum wrinkle maximum depth of the outer corner of the eye was shallower than when not using it. From the above results, it can be seen that the use of the foamable skin external preparation of the present invention has the effect of making the wrinkles inconspicuous.
