2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, due to the partial destruction of the ozone layer, an increase in the amount of ultraviolet rays reaching the surface of the earth has become a problem, and sunscreen cosmetics with higher effects than ever have been demanded. ing. Conventionally, as an ultraviolet absorber in such sunscreen cosmetics, benzophenone-based,
Benzoic acid-based and methoxycinnamic acid-based organic compounds are used, but these organic compounds cannot absorb ultraviolet rays in a wide range of wavelength range, and have a problem of irritation to the skin. There is a need for safer UV screening agents.

In addition to ultraviolet rays of short wavelength (B region) (280 to 320 nm) that cause inflammation (so-called sunburn) such as blisters and erythema, ultraviolet rays of longer wavelength (A region) (320) It has been revealed that synergistic effects (.about.400 nm) cause skin aging and carcinogenicity, and in recent years, in particular, there has been great interest in shielding ultraviolet rays in the A region.

By the way, zinc oxide originally has a wavelength of 380 nm.
Since it has a sharp absorption edge in the vicinity, it has a high shielding effect against ultraviolet rays in the A region, but after that, ultrafine zinc oxide was developed, and this ultrafine zinc oxide has a wide wavelength range from the B region to the A region. In addition to blocking ultraviolet rays over a range, ultrafine particle rutile type titanium oxide has a refractive index of 2.7, but ultrafine particle zinc oxide has a small refractive index of 2.0 and has excellent transparency, so it can block ultraviolet rays. It is drawing attention as an agent.

On the other hand, zinc oxide originally has a property of being dissolved in water in a trace amount, and the physiological action of the eluted zinc ion has been used as an astringent agent in the field of cosmetics for a long time. Furthermore, the chemical reactivity of reacting with fatty acids to form metallic soap is used as a deodorant effect that absorbs sebum secreted from the skin, improves makeup retention, and absorbs body odor components.

However, these physiological activities and chemical reactivity tend to become stronger by making zinc oxide into ultrafine particles, and in the future, when the safety for skin tissue is further required, the activity of the particle surface will be increased. It is desirable to suppress it.

Further, regarding safety, there is a view that there is a concern that active oxygen is produced by the photocatalytic activity of ultrafine zinc oxide. Originally, zinc oxide is excited by absorbing ultraviolet rays corresponding to its binding energy, and although it is much weaker than titanium oxide, it has an ability to oxidize a substance in contact with the particle surface. Therefore, since it is suspected that active oxygen may be generated when used in cosmetics, it is desirable to suppress the photocatalytic activity of ultrafine zinc oxide.

Further, the above-mentioned solubility and chemical reactivity of zinc oxide in water have various inconveniences in designing the formulation of cosmetics. That is, the most important raw material component of cosmetics is water, which is also a major constituent of the human body, but in the case of cosmetics containing ultrafine zinc oxide, the dissolved zinc ions react with other components, and The ratio cannot be increased, and the degree of freedom in prescription is narrowed. For example, in the case of conventional sunscreen cosmetics containing ultrafine zinc oxide, it is difficult to adjust the water ratio to 50% or more, and most emulsified products are limited to the water-in-oil type (W / O). ing.

Further, the use of ultrafine zinc oxide in cosmetics is to use various oils, fragrances, colorants, organic UV absorbers, water-soluble polymers, etc., in which ultrafine zinc oxide is another component of cosmetics. The degree of freedom in prescription is also narrowed due to problems such as increase and decrease in viscosity of cosmetics, generation of offensive odor, discoloration, etc. by reaction.

Therefore, in JP-A-3-183620, the surface of fine particle zinc oxide is coated with an oxide or hydroxide of aluminum, silicon, zirconium or tin to reduce the catalytic activity of zinc oxide and It is described that the deterioration of the organic vehicle in the material can be suppressed, and the coefficient of kinetic friction of the particulate zinc oxide can be reduced to prevent slippage and deterioration of the feel. However, the suppression of photocatalytic activity is still very insufficient with the conventionally known fine particle zinc oxide provided with such a coating layer on the surface, and in particular, zinc oxide is originally dissolved in water. Properties and chemical reactivity can hardly be suppressed.

However, in the field of cosmetics, ultrafine zinc oxide is often already actually added after being treated with an organopolysiloxane, nevertheless, there are problems due to the above-mentioned eluted zinc ions, and Since there are problems such as reactivity with other components, ultrafine zinc oxide cannot substantially suppress the original surface activity of zinc oxide even if it is simply surface-treated with organopolysiloxane. In addition, the photocatalytic activity cannot be controlled harmlessly.

Further, according to the present invention, for example, in order to enhance dispersibility in an oil agent in cosmetics and enhance water repellency, the surface of zinc oxide particles is coated with a first coating of hydrous silicon oxide. After forming the layer, or after forming the second coating layer, such a zinc oxide particle composition may be surface treated with an organopolysiloxane. The organopolysiloxane used for such surface treatment is usually in the range of 1 to 20% by weight with respect to zinc oxide, and preferably,
It is in the range of 3 to 10% by weight. As the organopolysiloxane, for example, dimethylpolysiloxane and methylhydrogenpolysiloxane are preferably used.
When the content of such an organopolysiloxane is less than 1% by weight with respect to zinc oxide, the effect of improving dispersibility in an oil agent in cosmetics is poor, and even when it exceeds 20% by weight,
It is economically disadvantageous because the dispersibility in oils and the water repellency in cosmetics are saturated.

As is clear from Table 2, since the zinc oxide ultrafine particle composition according to the present invention has almost no reactivity with the carboxyvinyl polymer, the gel structure of the polymer aqueous solution is retained, resulting in the polymer aqueous solution.

In contrast, the conventional zinc oxide ultrafine particle composition according to the comparative example and the ultrafine zinc oxide without a coating layer both react with the carboxyl groups of the carboxyvinyl polymer to increase the hydration degree of the polymer. It seems that this is because the size is made smaller, but the gel structure of the aqueous polymer solution is altered and the viscosity remarkably decreases with the passage of time.
