Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a non-aqueous gel cosmetic, and more particularly to a non-aqueous gel cosmetic having a good affinity for the skin, high stability and safety, and excellent moisturizing effect. It is what

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Surfactants are used in many kinds of cosmetics, and it is common to use them in non-aqueous gel cosmetics to stabilize the gel (eg Japanese Patent Publication No. 2). -51665).

Such surfactants are roughly classified into ionic surfactants and nonionic surfactants.
The latter is often used because of its relatively mild effect on the skin. However, many consumers are concerned about the safety of using such synthetic surfactants.

From this point of view, the applicant has disclosed a cosmetic using a natural surface-active substance which is considered to be highly safe as a solubilizing agent used for a transparent solubilizing cosmetic. (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 64-85906).
This enables the solubilized product to be sufficiently solubilized only by the natural surfactant by the conventional method.

Moreover, elastin hydrolysates, emulsion using natural compounds such as lecithin are known (e.g., JP Tokuoyake flat 2-51665, JP-B-59-33
016, JP-A-59-231007, JP-A-59-
4432, JP-A-56-70826 and the like).

[0006]

However, since the natural surface-active substance has a weak gelling power, it is difficult to form a highly stable gel. There are no known non-aqueous gel cosmetics that are stable non-aqueous gel cosmetics that use only substances and that also have excellent cosmetic properties such as a good feeling in use.

Therefore, it is desired to develop a practical non-aqueous gel cosmetic which does not contain a synthetic surfactant.

[0008]

Means for Solving the Problems As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventors have used a gel forming agent in which a liquid higher alcohol and glycerin are used in combination with a natural surface-active substance. Thus, they have found that a stable gel can be formed, and further found that such a constitution can provide excellent properties as a cosmetic, and completed the present invention.

That is, the present invention is a non-aqueous gel cosmetic comprising a gel forming agent and an oil phase component, wherein the gel forming agent contains 0.1 to 0.1% of a natural surface-active substance based on the total amount of the cosmetic.
15% by weight, 0.1 to 15% by weight of a higher alcohol which is liquid at room temperature, and 1 to 29.8 % by weight of glycerin, and the oil phase component is 70 to 9 with respect to the total amount of the cosmetic.
It is 8% by weight and at least a polar oil is contained, which is a non-aqueous gel cosmetic.

Further, the gel forming agent is mixed at room temperature or while being heated as necessary to form a homogeneous system.
A non-aqueous gel cosmetic characterized by being a gel emulsion obtained by gradually adding a mixture of oil phase components prepared in advance thereto.

The non-aqueous gel cosmetic according to the present invention means a gel-like cosmetic containing no water or a very small amount. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

<1> Gel Forming Agent Used in the Present Invention Since a natural surface-active substance alone has a weak gelling power, a natural surface-active substance and a gel-forming agent containing a higher alcohol and glycerin which are liquid at room temperature are used. Thereby, a stable gel can be formed.

(1) Natural surface-active substance By using a natural surface-active substance as a surface-active agent, it is possible to obtain a non-aqueous gel cosmetic having high safety and good affinity to the skin.

Examples of such natural surface-active substances include lecithin, sucrose fatty acid ester, casein salt, sphingolipid, glycyrrhizic acid or its salt, elastin hydrolyzate, collagen hydrolyzate, N-acylglutamate, pectin. , Xanthan gum, locust bean gum, karaya gum and the like.

Among these, lecithin, sucrose fatty acid ester, casein salt, elastin hydrolyzate, collagen hydrolyzate, glycyrrhizic acid or a salt thereof is particularly preferable.

These natural surface-active substances can be used alone or in combination, and the content thereof is 0.1 to 15% by weight, preferably 1 to 5% by weight, based on the total amount of the non-aqueous gel cosmetic. It is blended so as to be in the range of.

If the content is less than 0.1% by weight, gelation becomes poor and a stable non-aqueous gel cosmetic cannot be obtained. If the content is too high, gelling power, moisturizing /
It is not economical because there is no merit to use a large amount because the water retention effect reaches the ceiling. Therefore, it is preferably contained within the above range.

(2) Higher alcohol that is liquid at room temperature Examples of the higher alcohol that is liquid at room temperature for use in the present invention include jojoba alcohol, isostearyl alcohol, oleyl alcohol, olive alcohol and the like. Then, jojoba alcohol and isostearyl alcohol are particularly preferable.

These are used alone or in combination in an amount of 0.1 to 15% by weight, preferably 1 to 5% by weight, based on the total amount of the non-aqueous gel cosmetic. The content is 0.
If the amount is less than 1% by weight, a stable gel cannot be formed, and if the amount is too large, the gelling power and the moisturizing / water retaining effect reach the ceiling, which is not economical because there is no merit to use a large amount.

(3) Glyceryl Glycerin is a higher alcohol that is liquid at room temperature.
It constitutes a gel former together with natural surfactants.

Glycerin is blended alone or in combination with the following polyhydric alcohol so as to be 1 to 29.8 % by weight, preferably 5 to 15% by weight, based on the total amount of the cosmetic. If the content is less than 1% by weight, a stable non-aqueous gel cosmetic cannot be obtained, and if the content is too large, the gelling power and the moisturizing / water retaining effect reach the ceiling, which is a large amount of merit. There is no economy.

The polyhydric alcohol is used together with the above glycerin, if necessary. The polyhydric alcohol used in the present invention has two or more hydroxyl groups in the molecule, and for example, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, 1,4-butylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, polypropylene. Glycol and polyglycerin such as dipropylene glycol, diglycerin, triglycerin, and tetraglycerin, and further glucose, maltose, maltitol, sucrose, fructose, xylitol, sorbitol, maltotriose, threitol, erythritol, starch-degrading sugar, reducing alcohol. Etc. can be mentioned, and they can be used alone or in combination.

As described above, the polyhydric alcohol is blended together with glycerin in an amount of 1 to 29.8 % by weight, preferably 5 to 15% by weight, based on the total amount of the cosmetic. <2> Oil phase component used in the present invention The oil phase component used in the present invention contains a polar oil alone or a mixture of a polar oil and a non-polar oil as a main component. Examples of polar oils include oils and fats such as olive oil, waxes such as lanolin, isopropyl myristate, decyl oleate, and tri-2-.
Examples thereof include esters such as glycerin ethylhexanoate, higher fatty acids such as oleic acid and lauric acid, and higher alcohols such as cetanol that are solid at room temperature.

Examples of the nonpolar oil include hydrocarbons such as squalane, petrolatum and liquid paraffin, and chain or cyclic silicone oil. The content of these oil phase components is 70 to 9 relative to the total amount of the non-aqueous gel cosmetic.
It is mixed alone or in combination within the range of 8% by weight. When the content is lower than 70%, the amount of the gel forming agent becomes too large, and when it exceeds 98%, the stability of the gel is deteriorated, and further it is not economical. Therefore, the above range is preferable.

<3> Other components In the non-aqueous gel cosmetic of the present invention, in addition to the above components,
Ingredients commonly used in general cosmetics can be added.

For example, fragrances, pigments, preservatives, antioxidants,
Examples include anti-inflammatory agents, ultraviolet absorbers, ultraviolet reflectors, pH adjusters, and the like, and if necessary, various medicinal ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, allantoin, vitamins, amino acids, and placenta extract. It is possible to mix them individually or in combination. <4> Method for producing non-aqueous gel cosmetic of the present invention The non-aqueous gel cosmetic of the present invention can be produced in the same manner as the method for producing a gel emulsion described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2-51665.

First, a natural surface-active substance, a higher alcohol and glycerin which are liquid at room temperature, and a polyhydric alcohol, if necessary, are uniformly mixed at room temperature or while heating to prepare a continuous phase of a gel forming agent. To do.

Next, a mixture of oil phase components prepared in advance is added to this to prepare a gel emulsion, whereby the non-aqueous gel cosmetic of the present invention can be obtained.
In this step, the oil phase component is gradually added to the gel former,
It is preferable to sufficiently disperse the oil phase component.

Each component is heated and dissolved in advance if necessary, and each operation is carried out while heating if necessary.

[0031]

Examples 1 and 2 Examples of cleansing gel as the non-aqueous gel cosmetic of the present invention will be described.

<Production Method> The components shown in Table 1A were mixed with stirring at room temperature. Further, the component B was gradually added to this and dissolved homogeneously to obtain a cleansing gel.

[0033]

[Table 1]

<Evaluation Method> The four types of cleansing gels obtained above were compared for storage stability and usability.

(1) Storage stability 10 samples of each cleansing gel were stored at 40 ° C.
After storing in a thermostatic chamber at 5 ° C for 3 months, the separated state was visually observed, and the storage stability was compared according to the following criteria.

Good: ○ A small amount is separated: △ Bad: ×

(2) Usability The degree of extension and the cleansing effect of each cleansing gel during use were compared by conducting an actual use test by 20 professional panelists.

A comparison of the degree of extension is made with a cleansing gel of about 1
It was carried out by evaluating the feeling during use when g was applied to the face according to the following criteria. Good extension: 3 points Normal: 2 points Poor: 1 point The cleansing effect is to spread the foundation evenly on the face by normal usage, apply each cleansing gel 1 hour later, and apply the degree of foundation drop below. Was evaluated according to the standard.

Cleansing effect Good: 3 points Normal: 2 points Bad: 1 point

<Results> The results of the above evaluations are shown in Table 2 as an average value.

[0041]

[Table 2]

From these results, it was found that the cleansing gel of this example had good storage stability and excellent usability. Further, it was found that the effect cannot be obtained only with the natural surface-active substance, and the effect cannot be obtained even if the liquid higher alcohol or glycerin is lacking.

Since the cleansing gel of the present invention can contain a large amount of oil phase components in the cosmetic, it is presumed that a large amount of oil is released when the gel breaks, which is a factor to enhance the cleansing effect.

[0044]

[Example 3] Next, an example of a massage gel as a non-aqueous gel cosmetic will be described.

<Production Method> The components shown in Table 3A were mixed with stirring at room temperature. The component B heated and dissolved was gradually added thereto with stirring, the temperature was returned to room temperature, and the component C was added with stirring to obtain a massage gel.

<Evaluation Method> The two kinds of massage gels obtained above were compared in storage stability and usability.

(1) Storage stability The storage stability was compared in the same manner as for the cleansing gel.

(2) Usability Each of the massage gels was compared in terms of the degree of extension during use and the feeling of remaining after massage by conducting an actual use test by 20 professional panelists.

The degree of elongation was compared with that of the cleansing gel. The feeling of remaining after the massage was evaluated as follows. 1 g of each massage gel was applied to the face, and after massage, the feeling of remaining on the skin after the massage gel was wiped off with a tissue paper was compared according to the following criteria. Those with little remaining feeling were regarded as good.

Good: 3 points Normal: 2 points Bad: 1 point

<Results> The results of the above evaluations are shown in Table 4 as average values.

[0053]

[Table 4]

As is clear from these results, it was found that the massage gel of this example had better storage stability and superior usability than the comparative example containing no liquid higher alcohol.

[0055]

(Manufacturing Method) The ingredients shown in Table 5A were mixed and stirred at room temperature, and the ingredient B which had been heated and dissolved was gradually added thereto with stirring, and the mixture was homogenized and returned to room temperature to obtain a product.

[0057]

[Table 5]

The oil essence thus obtained was excellent in storage stability and usability, like the cleansing gel and massage gel of the above Examples.

[0059]

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The non-aqueous gel cosmetic of the present invention is highly safe because it does not contain a synthetic surfactant, while the properties are stable. In addition, since the salt contained in sweat and the natural surface-active substance are well compatible with each other and the natural surface-active substance is adsorbed to the skin, it leaves the skin moisturized and is excellent in usability.

Further, since it is more liable to be broken by frictional pressure than a gel using a synthetic surfactant, it is easy to adapt to stains on sebum and make-up, and the usability is further improved.
