Description

  The present invention relates to an antiseptic disinfectant and a cosmetic composition, the purpose of which is to increase the antibacterial activity of parabens that have been used as an antiseptic disinfectant so far. An object of the present invention is to provide an antiseptic disinfectant to be exhibited and a highly safe cosmetic composition with a small amount of paraben. In the present specification, the cosmetic composition refers to cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and quasi drugs that are applied directly to the human skin.

  Conventionally, parabens such as methylparaben, ethylparaben, and propylparaben, benzoic acid and salts thereof, salicylic acid and salts thereof, and the like have been used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and quasi drugs as antiseptic disinfectants. Is frequently used.

  However, in recent years, the skin irritation of parabens has become a problem, and from the viewpoint of safety, reduction of the blending amount is desired. On the other hand, recently, since cosmetic formulations have become diversified and complicated, parabens are often inactivated by other ingredients such as surfactants. In particular, in an emulsified formulation system, it is extremely difficult to obtain antiseptic power by blending parabens.

  Thus, various attempts have been made to increase the efficacy of parabens and reduce the amount of parabens used in combination with other substances. For example, a method of adding a polyhydric alcohol such as 1,3-butylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, or glycerin has been devised. This is because in cosmetic compositions, parabens are affected by the amount present in the aqueous phase, so by adding a polyhydric alcohol such as 1,3-butylene glycol, dipropylene glycol or glycerin, It is a way to increase the distribution of parabens into the water phase and increase its efficacy.

  However, the effect of increasing the antibacterial activity of parabens by using polyalcohols such as 1,3-butylene glycol, dipropylene glycol and glycerin together with parabens is not remarkable, and the amount of parabens used has not been reduced. Moreover, although plant extracts etc. are proposed as what can be used as a preservative disinfectant instead of a paraben, the antiseptic disinfection action is not remarkable compared with a paraben. In addition, many oil-soluble ones are problematic in terms of skin sensitization, so it is not useful, for example, the amount of blending is limited in the actual formulation design, and it also leads to reducing the amount of paraben used. Not in.

  Therefore, by increasing the antiseptic power of parabens and reducing the amount of parabens used, the creation of an efficient antiseptic disinfectant that can provide a cosmetic composition with high safety and excellent antibacterial properties is achieved. It is desired. As a result of intensive research on antiseptic fungicides, the present inventors have found that 1,2-pentanediol, which is originally used as a moisturizing agent, and also 1,2-alkanediol as well as 1,2-pentanediol. By using one or more of three 1,2-alkanediols added with 1,2-hexanediol and 1,2-octanediol in combination with parabens as antiseptic fungicides, The inventors have found that the amount of paraben used can be greatly reduced by increasing the power, and the present invention has been completed.

  That is, the invention according to claim 1 relates to an antiseptic disinfectant characterized in that at least one of parabens and 1,2-octanediol are combined. The invention according to claim 2 relates to a cosmetic composition comprising the antiseptic disinfectant according to claim 1 as an antiseptic disinfectant, and the invention according to claim 3 is a composition in which the amount of methylparaben is a composition 3. The cosmetic composition according to claim 2, wherein the content is less than 0.2% by weight.

  The invention according to claim 1 relates to an antiseptic disinfectant characterized in that at least one of parabens and 1,2-octanediol are combined, and has the following effects. .

That is, 1, 2 since Okutanjio and the Le and paraben are combined has been antiseptic disinfectant, each antibacterial activity enhanced by a synergistic effect, even to reduce the amount of paraben, very against any microorganisms It will exhibit excellent antibacterial activity. Therefore, the amount of paraben used as an antiseptic disinfectant can be greatly reduced, and a highly safe cosmetic composition can be obtained.

  The invention according to claim 2 relates to a cosmetic composition characterized in that the antiseptic disinfectant according to claim 1 is blended as an antiseptic disinfectant, so that the antiseptic disinfectant is high, and safety and use are also provided. The invention according to claim 3 relates to the cosmetic composition according to claim 2, characterized in that the blending amount of methylparaben is less than 0.2% by weight in the composition. Therefore, there is an effect that there is no irritation to the skin and the feeling of use is very good.

  As described above, the present inventors have improved the antibacterial activity of paraben by using paraben in combination with one or more of 1,2-pentanediol, 1,2-hexanediol, and 1,2-octanediol. As a result, it was found that the amount of paraben used can be greatly reduced, and the present invention has been completed.

（但し、式１中Ｒは炭素数１〜４のアルキル基を示す） The paraben used in the present invention is represented by the following formula 1 (chemical formula 1), and four kinds of methyl paraben, ethyl paraben, propyl paraben, and butyl paraben have been widely used as antiseptics and fungicides for cosmetic compositions. . Also in the present invention, one or more of the above four types of parabens are used.

(In the formula 1, R represents an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms)

1,2-octanediol is a kind of polyhydric alcohol and is represented by the following formula 2 (Chemical formula 2). 1,2-Pentanediol has been widely used as a cosmetic base and has been used as a moisturizer, stabilizer, dispersant, solvent, etc. because it is highly safe and easily soluble in water. . Accordingly, the use of 1,2-pentanediol also enhances the moisturizing power, so that it can be made into a cosmetic composition having a moist feeling. Further, as apparent from the test examples described later, when 1,2-octanediol is used, a cosmetic composition excellent in moist feeling can be obtained.

  In the present invention, at least one of the above-mentioned parabens and 1,2-octanediol are combined to form an antiseptic fungicide. When both are used in combination, the antibacterial activity is enhanced by a synergistic effect, and the antiseptic effect is also exerted against bacteria that do not exhibit any antiseptic effect when they are blended alone.

  For example, as will be apparent from the test examples described below, 1,2-octanediol exhibits a certain degree of antiseptic effect against general bacteria, yeasts and molds even when incorporated alone, but when used in combination with parabens, The antiseptic sterilization power can be further increased.

  Therefore, the combined use of 1,2-octanediol with at least one paraben and 1,2-octanediol can greatly reduce the amount of paraben used. It is possible to obtain a cosmetic composition having high properties and sufficient antibacterial properties.

  The cosmetic composition according to the present invention is a composition in which at least one paraben and 1,2-octanediol are blended as antiseptic fungicides. For example, skin and hair cosmetics such as lotions, emulsions, creams, shampoos, hair treatments, medicinal cosmetics (quasi-drugs) with specific purposes such as prevention of stains and freckles, and acne treatment The above-mentioned antiseptic disinfectant can be blended with the above-mentioned pharmaceutical product to obtain a cosmetic composition according to the present invention.

  The blending amount of paraben in the cosmetic composition is not particularly limited, and may be set to a use limit concentration or less. However, when the amount of methyl paraben is 0.2% by weight or more in the composition, the irritation to the skin becomes strong and the feeling of use deteriorates, so the amount of methyl paraben is particularly less than 0.2% by weight in the composition. It is preferable to do this. In addition, even if the blending amount of methylparaben is less than 0.2% by weight, the combined use with 1,2-octanediol enhances the antiseptic power of each, so that it exhibits a sufficiently excellent antiseptic sterilizing effect. Can do.

  Moreover, 1,2-octanediol is extremely safe, as will be apparent from the results of the safety test described later, so that it can be added up to 20% by weight in the cosmetic composition. However, if the amount is less than 0.05% by weight, the effect of blending is not sufficiently exhibited, so the blending ratio in the composition is 0.05 to 20% by weight.

  Hereinafter, the safety of 1,2-octanediol will be described based on test results.

(Irritation test)
As an irritation test for 1,2-octanediol, an acute skin irritation test was conducted using 6 rabbits, 3 males and 3 females, and 6 male rabbits and 3 female rabbits were used. Acute eye irritation test was performed. As a result, there was almost no irritation to the skin and eyes. Further, in the skin sensitization test with 10 males and 10 females, a total of 20 guinea pigs, there was almost no irritation to the skin.

  Furthermore, the results of human skin compatibility test, mutagenicity test, and patch test for 1,2-octanediol were all negative. From the results of the above safety test, it can be said that 1,2-octanediol is a very safe substance.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on test examples.
[Test Example 1: Preservative strength evaluation]
The creams of Example 1 and Reference Examples 1 to 4 were prepared according to the formulation shown in Table 1, the creams of Comparative Examples 1 to 6 were prepared according to the formulation shown in Table 2, and the antiseptic power was evaluated by a challenge test.

As a test bacterium, a mixed bacterial solution of Escherichia coli IFO3972 (E. coli), Staphylococcus aureus IFO13276 (Staphylococcus aureus) and Bacillus subtilis IFO12210 (Bacillus subtilis) was used as a general bacterium. Moreover, Saccharomyces cerevisiae IFO0234 was used as yeast, and Aspergillus niger (black mold) was used as a fungus. The culture solution in which these bacteria were pre-cultured was diluted to about 10 ⁸ cells / ml for mixed bacteria of general bacteria, about 10 ⁷ cells / ml for S. cerevisiae, and about 10 ⁶ cells / ml for A. niger. This was used as a bacterial suspension. The number of bacteria was confirmed by the colony count method.

  In a glass container that has been sterilized by dry heat, 20 g of the cream of Example 1, Reference Examples 1 to 4 or Comparative Examples 1 to 6 is placed, 0.2 ml of the above bacterial suspension is inoculated, and the mixed bacteria are at 35 ° C. S. cerevisiae and A. niger were cultured at 25 ° C. 1 and 7 days after inoculation for mixed bacteria and S. cerevisiae, and 7, 14, and 21 days for A. niger, 1 g of each sample was taken out and diluted with physiological saline into the agar medium. For 48 hours, and the number of remaining bacteria in the sample was calculated. As for A.niger, measurement after confirming complete death was omitted.

  The results are shown in Table 3 and FIGS. In addition, since the polyhydric alcohol was not mix | blended about the comparative example 6, since a component did not disperse | distribute and a result was not able to be obtained, about Example 1, Reference Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-5 Results are shown.

  In Table 3, * indicates that measurement was omitted. FIG. 1 is a graph showing changes in the number of viable mixed bacteria in Examples, FIG. 2 is a graph showing changes in the number of viable S. cerevisiae in Examples, and FIG. 3 is the number of live A. niger cells in Examples. In the figure, the broken line marked with Δ is the result of Example 1, the broken line marked with ○ is the result of Reference Example 1, the broken line marked with ● is the result of Reference Example 2, and the broken line marked with ■ is the reference Example 3. As a result, the polygonal line marked with □ is the result of Reference Example 4. 4 is a graph showing changes in the number of viable mixed bacteria in the comparative example, FIG. 5 is a diagram showing changes in the number of viable S. cerevisiae in the comparative example, and FIG. 6 is a live cell of A. niger in the comparative example. In the figure, the broken line with ■ is the result of Comparative Example 1, the broken line with ● is the result of Comparative Example 2, the broken line with ○ is the result of Comparative Example 3, and the broken line with □ is a Comparative Example As a result of 4, the broken line indicated by Δ is the result of Comparative Example 5.

  From the results of Table 3 and FIGS. 1 to 6, as in Comparative Examples 1 and 2, when paraben and glycerin, which is one of polyhydric alcohols, are combined, 0.3 wt% of paraben is blended. However, as shown in Reference Examples 1, 2, and 3, when paraben and 1,2-pentanediol are used in combination, the antiseptic power of each is improved. It can be seen that, even if the amount of use is reduced, a sufficient antiseptic effect is exhibited against general bacteria, and the antiseptic ability of the same degree or more is exhibited against yeast and mold. In addition, when Paraben and 1,2-octanediol are used in combination as in Example 1, each antiseptic power is also improved, so even if the amount of paraben used is reduced, it is more than when each is used alone. It can be seen that the antiseptic power is remarkably superior and exhibits excellent antiseptic effects against all bacterial species such as general bacteria, yeast and mold.

  From the results of Test Example 1, the combination of at least one of the parabens and one or more of 1,2-octanediol can be used to reduce the amount of paraben and reduce the amount of parabens. It can be said that a sterilizing effect can be exhibited and a highly safe cosmetic composition can be obtained.
