Description

The present invention relates to a composition for external use of skin, which is a stable blend of a 4-alkylresorcinol and an ascorbic acid derivative, which have an excellent whitening effect on the skin, in a water-in-oil emulsion.

4-Alkylresorcinol is known to have a very high effect of inhibiting tyrosinase involved in the production of melanin that causes skin spots, buckwheat, and sunburn (Patent Document 1). Among them, 4-n-butylresorcinol is used in cosmetics as an active ingredient of quasi drugs. On the other hand, ascorbic acid and ascorbic acid derivatives also have an inhibitory effect on tyrosinase activity and enhance the synthesis of collagen that constitutes the connective tissue in the body, preventing wrinkles and sagging of the skin. It is.

A pharmaceutical design capable of effectively blending these components is important in cosmetics. Above all, the water-in-oil emulsion has a high blocking effect because the oily component is present in the continuous phase, and has better moisture retention and transdermal absorbability of the active ingredient than the oil-in-water emulsion. It is an effective dosage form. On the other hand, the water-in-oil emulsion has a drawback that it is oily and sticky. In order to overcome such disadvantages, for example, a technique for producing a water-in-oil emulsion using an organically modified clay mineral such as dimethyl distearyl ammonium chloride modified hectorite has been developed (Patent Documents 2-4). ). In order to improve the feeling of use, a technique of using an organically modified clay mineral and a cross-linked silicone has also been developed (Patent Document 5).

As a water-in-oil emulsion containing 4-alkylresorcinol and an ascorbic acid derivative, a preparation in which an organically modified viscosity mineral and a cross-linked methylpolysiloxane are combined is known (Patent Document 6). However, 4-alkylresorcinol and ascorbic acid derivatives have completely different chemical structures, and there are differences in optimal stabilization conditions (for example, pH and incompatible ingredients). Therefore, in the formulation, 4-alkyl resorcinol and dissolving the ascorbic acid derivative under the same aqueous phase environment, since not help dissolved, the can not formulated in optimum stabilization conditions for both components, This caused discoloration, discoloration, and formulation instability due to decomposition of both components over time and at high temperatures. As mentioned above, the water-in-oil emulsion which can contain 4-alkyl resorcinol and an ascorbic acid derivative simultaneously was calculated | required.
