Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a novel cosmetic composition for body massage, more specifically 80% by weight or more of a moisturizing agent, a water-soluble polymer compound and a saccharide, and a water content of 5% by weight or less. The present invention relates to cosmetics for body massage, which are excellent in warm feeling, blood circulation promoting effect, texture during use, and massage effect.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, awareness of health has been increasing in Japan as well, and there is a tendency to seek health and beauty by performing shape improvement by aerobics and various sports. In addition, awareness of body care such as aesthetics for the purpose of creating proportions by weight loss and trimming is increasing. As such a cosmetic for body care, conventionally, the purpose has been to maintain the moisturizing balance of the body skin and maintain and improve the homeostasis of the skin. There is a growing demand for positive shape-up and slimming effects.

Various body massage cosmetics have been proposed for the purpose of positive shape-up effect and slimming effect, but the conventional massage cosmetics are mainly oily creams or lotion types, and are used. There was a drawback in terms of stickiness and difficulty in washing off. Also, the massage method includes rubbing, rubbing, and
There are treatments such as grasping (grabbing). For facial use, mainly rubbing and kneading are used, while for body use, the feeling of use for grasping treatment is important.

[0003]

As one example of a cosmetic composition which improves the above-mentioned drawbacks such as stickiness of cream and lotion type and further temporarily raises skin temperature to improve blood circulation and slimming effect, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 2 (1999) -28 -311408, etc., but it is not always satisfactory in the feeling of use such as the texture of the cosmetics when used (finger tip, ease of massage), especially in the grasping massage method which is important for body massage. However, none of the conventional products are sufficiently satisfactory in terms of usability during treatment such as slippage during various massages and difficulty in grasping as described above.

The present inventors have conducted intensive studies to improve the above-mentioned drawbacks such as texture and feeling in conventional cosmetics for massage, and as a result, as a result, a moisturizing agent of 80% by weight or more and a water-soluble polymer compound were obtained. Mixing an appropriate amount of sugar, water content 5% by weight
The present invention has been completed based on the finding that a cosmetic having an excellent warmth feeling, a texture, and a feeling of use particularly having a body massage effect can be obtained as described below.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] That is, the present invention comprises a humectant of 80% by weight or more, a water-soluble polymer compound and a saccharide, and a water content of 5% by weight or less. It is to provide cosmetics.

The present invention will be described in detail below. With the moisturizer in the present invention, a general known moisturizer can be used,
For example, glycerin, 1,3-butylene glycol, diglycerin, dipropylene glycol, polyoxyethylene methyl glucoside, etc. are used, and one or more of these may be used in combination. Among these, glycerin and 1,3 butylene glycol are particularly preferably used alone or in combination. The blending amount is 80% by weight or more based on the total amount of the cosmetic. If it is 80% by weight or less, the effects of the texture and the warm feeling in the present invention are reduced, which is not preferable.

The water-soluble polymer compound used in the present invention includes carboxymethyl cellulose, carboxyethyl cellulose, carboxy vinyl polymer, sodium pectate, polyacrylic acid, gelatin and the like, and carboxy vinyl polymer is particularly preferably used. . Specifically, Hibiswako 103, 104, 105 (manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.), Carbopol 934, 940, 941, 1
342 (manufactured by Goodrich) or the like is arbitrarily used.
The blending amount is 0.3 to 5% by weight in cosmetics. If it is compounded in excess of 5% by weight, it is not preferable in terms of stickiness, and if it is less than 0.3%, the effect is not sufficiently exhibited.

As the saccharides used in the present invention, specifically, monosaccharides, polysaccharides and the like are arbitrarily used, but maltitol, sorbitol, mannose, galactose, starch syrup and the like are arbitrarily used. These sugars may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among them, maltitol is particularly preferably used. The compounding amount is preferably 1.0 to 10% by weight. If the amount is 1.0% by weight or less, the effect is not sufficiently exhibited, and if the amount is more than 10% by weight, it is not preferable from the viewpoint of stickiness.

In the cosmetic for body massage of the present invention, it is essential that the water content is 5% or less in order to obtain a warm feeling. When the water content is 5% or more, a sufficient warm feeling and its sustainability cannot be obtained.

The body cosmetic of the present invention may further contain pigments, fragrances, bactericides, inflammatory agents, chelating agents, viscosity modifiers, and other surfactants depending on the purpose of use. The cosmetic for body massage thus obtained is excellent in warm feeling, has a viscosity and a texture suitable for being easily absorbed by a finger when used, and has an excellent feeling in use.

[0011]

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to examples. The present invention is not limited to these examples. The blending amount is% by weight. Examples 1 and 2, Comparative Examples 1 to 4 The cosmetics for body massage of the present invention were prepared, and their sensory feeling and warmth were evaluated based on the following evaluation methods. The results are shown in Table 1.

[Evaluation method] Feeling during massage, feeling of use, overall evaluation Ten professional panels perform massage while taking a bath with a cosmetic composition having the composition shown in Table 1, and feel and use during massage (grasping massage). A sensory evaluation of feeling was performed. The evaluation criteria are as follows: ◎ ・ ・ 4 points, ○ ・ ・
The average value was evaluated as 3 points, Δ ··· 2 points, × ··· 1 points. ────────────────────────── Average rating ───────────────────── ────── Excellent ◎ A 3 or more and 4 or less Excellent ○ B 2 or more and less than 3 Inferior △ C 1 or more and less than 2 Very poor × D 0 or more and less than 1 Viscosity is a rotational viscometer ( Bismetron BH type).

[0013]

[Table 1]

As is clear from Table 1, the cosmetic for body massage according to the present invention is superior in weight and texture during massage as compared with the comparative example. Also,
Even if the viscosity is increased only by the polymer compound as in Comparative Examples 2 and 3 in Table 1, the grasping massage such as rubbing and grasping at the time of massage is not satisfactory because of no weight and texture.
