Abstract

PURPOSE: To obtain a liquid hair setting agent composition containing liquid lanolins, a hydrocarbon-based solvent and a liquid nonionic surfactant under specific conditions, having excellent hair setting force and dried feeling of use and capable of suppressing gray hair in a quiet way. CONSTITUTION: This composition contains 10-50wt.% of liquid lanolin or its liquid derivative as an oily material, 5-15wt.% of a nonionic surfactant being liquid at ordinary temperature and having 9-13 HLB (e.g. an polyoxyethylene alkyl ether) and 40-80wt.% of a hydrocarbon-based solvent (e.g. liquid paraffin) as a solvent as active ingredients. The liquid lanolin is used for setting hair and providing gloss to hair and increasing reflecting amount of light and suppressing gray hair in a quiet way. Since the hair-setting agent composition is transparent and liquid, it can be used in same way as hair liquid and has similar feeling of use as the hair liquid and can readily be washed off with water.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a liquid hair styling composition. More specifically, the present invention relates to a transparent liquid hair styling composition capable of suppressing the conspicuousness of white hair.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, a transparent liquid hair styling composition called hair liquid has been widely used mainly by men in their 20s and 60s. This hair liquid is obtained by dissolving an ethanol-soluble polymer compound such as a polyalkylene glycol derivative in a 40-70% ethanol-water mixed solvent.

[0003] By the way, generally, the number of gray hairs on a person's hair increases with age, but under the high stress environment in the modern society, the gray hairs also increase among young men. The increase in gray hair is
In order to make the apparent age feel higher than the actual age, it is desired that the above-mentioned hair liquid has a function of suppressing the conspicuousness of gray hair.

On the other hand, by coating the hair with an oily material such as paraffin to give gloss to the hair, the reflection intensity of the light of the black hair is enhanced, and thereby the difference from the reflection intensity of the light of the white hair is increased. It is known that the size of the hair can be reduced to suppress the conspicuousness of the gray hair.

However, since hair liquid uses water-containing ethanol as a solvent, such an oily raw material cannot be dissolved in the solvent in a transparent and liquid state.

Therefore, as a hair styling composition for suppressing the conspicuousness of gray hair, in consideration of being washable with water, a solid or pasty oily material such as paraffin, lanolin or mokuro, A solid or pasty pomade composed of a nonionic surfactant is generally used.

When the pomade is applied to the hair, the pomade is picked up by hand, applied to the hair, and the comb is used to comb the hair to set the whole hair.

[0008]

However, the conventional pomade has a heavy feeling of use because it is a solid or paste rather than a liquid, and it is difficult to apply it uniformly to the hair, and it is not sticky to the hand when applying the hair. There was a problem of getting stuck.
Further, there is a problem that it is difficult to wash off the pomade on the hand with water.

For this reason, the hair dressing composition for suppressing the conspicuousness of the gray hair is made into a liquid in order to realize a smooth feeling of use and to make it easy to wash off with water. Was required. Further, it has been required to make the hairdressing composition transparent so that the hairdressing composition has the same appearance or feeling as the hair liquid that has been widely used in the past.

The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, has a setting force equivalent to that of a conventional pomade, has a smooth feeling of use, and is easily washed off with water. It is an object of the present invention to provide a transparent liquid hair styling composition that is capable of suppressing the conspicuousness of gray hair.

[0011]

The present inventor has used a liquid lanolin or a derivative thereof as an oily material, a liquid nonionic surfactant at room temperature having a specific HLB value as a surfactant, and a solvent. As a result, it was found that the above-mentioned object can be achieved by constructing a hair styling composition by using a hydrocarbon solvent as the above, and completed the present invention.

That is, the present invention provides the following component (A),
(B) and (C) (A) Liquid lanolin or its liquid derivative 10 to 50% by weight (B) Hydrocarbon solvent 40 to 80% by weight (C) Nonionic surfactant which is liquid at room temperature and has HLB 9 to 13 Provided is a transparent liquid hair styling composition characterized by containing 5 to 15% by weight.

The present invention will be described in detail below.

In the present invention, the liquid lanolin is used for styling the hair and at the same time imparting gloss to the hair to increase the amount of light reflection and to suppress the conspicuousness of the white hair.
Further, the reason that the lanolin used in the present invention is in a liquid state is to stably hold the bleaching agent composition in a liquid state.

Such liquid lanolin is prepared by vacuum distillation method,
It was fractionated and collected from lanolin as a liquid component containing a relatively low molecular weight lanolin fatty acid ester as a main component by a solvent fractional crystallization method or a molecular distillation method (Cosmetic Raw Material Standard, Second Edition Note I (page 1241, 1984 (Yakuji Nippo))).

In the present invention, a liquid derivative of lanolin may be used instead of the liquid lanolin. As such a derivative, a lanolin fatty acid obtained by saponifying lanolin is esterified with an alcohol such as octyldodecanol, or a lanolin alcohol obtained by saponifying lanolin is a fatty acid such as oleic acid. Examples thereof include those esterified with. Specifically, "YOFCO L
C-D0-D "," YOFCO LC-DN-D ",
A liquid lanolin derivative specified by a trade name such as “YOFCO FE-1 SS” (above, manufactured by Yoshikawa Oil Co., Ltd.) can be preferably used.

The liquid lanolin or the liquid derivative thereof as the component (A) is used in an amount of 10 to 50% by weight, preferably 15 to 40% by weight of the hair styling composition. This is because when the amount used is less than 10% by weight, the hair styling power of the hair styling composition decreases, and the gloss of the hair is insufficient and the conspicuousness of the gray hair cannot be sufficiently suppressed. This is because if the amount exceeds 50% by weight, the degree of stickiness increases and the feeling of use becomes heavy.

The hydrocarbon solvent as the component (B) dissolves the liquid lanolin or the liquid derivative thereof as the component (A) and the nonionic surfactant as the component (C) described later into a uniform solution state. Is a solvent of. As such a hydrocarbon solvent, the components (A) and (C) can be dissolved to form a uniform solution state, and the solvent is appropriately selected from a variety of solvents that cause less skin irritation. be able to.
For example, petroleum-based hydrocarbons such as liquid paraffin, liquid isoparaffin, light liquid isoparaffin, and light isoparaffin, and hydrocarbon-based solvents of biological origin such as squalene and squalane can be used (Cosmetic Raw Material Standard Second Edition Note I ( 1241, 1984 (Yakuji Nippo), Non-standard ingredient specifications for cosmetics (see 1993 (Yakuji Nippo)).

The hydrocarbon solvent of component (B) is used in an amount of 40 to 80% by weight, preferably 50 to 75% by weight of the hair styling composition. This is because when the amount used is less than 40% by weight, the viscosity of the hair styling composition becomes too high and the feeling of use deteriorates, while when the amount used exceeds 80% by weight, the active ingredient ( This is because the blending amounts of A) and component (C) are relatively decreased, and the hairdressing composition cannot exhibit sufficient performance.

In the present invention, the hydrocarbon solvent is, for example, two kinds of a low volatile component and a high volatile component in order to easily adjust the viscosity and the drying speed of the hair styling composition. It is preferable to use the above hydrocarbon solvents together. For example, liquid paraffin having a relatively low volatility and light isoparaffin having a relatively high volatility can be used in combination. In this case, it is preferable to mix 30 to 50% by weight of liquid paraffin and 20 to 40% by weight of light isoparaffin.

In the present invention, a nonionic surfactant is used as the component (C) in order to improve the hair washability and hand washability of the hair styling composition. In this case, when an anionic surfactant or a cationic surfactant is used instead of the nonionic surfactant, the hairdressing composition loses uniformity and transparency.

As the nonionic surfactant as the component (C), a liquid one at room temperature is used. This is because when a solid product is used, it solidifies in the hair styling composition during low temperature storage in winter.

The nonionic surfactant of component (C) has an HLB value of 9 to 13, preferably 10 to 10.
Use 11.5. This is because the hair styling composition becomes cloudy when used outside this range.

Specific examples of such a nonionic surfactant as the component (C) include liquid polyoxyethylene alkyl ether having an HLB of 9 to 13, polyoxyethylene alkyl phenyl ether, polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid ester, A polyoxyethylene sorbitol fatty acid ester etc. can be mentioned.

The nonionic surfactant as the component (C) is used in an amount of 5 to 15% by weight, preferably 7 to 10% by weight of the hair styling composition. This is because when the amount used is less than 5% by weight, the hair-washing composition and the hand-washing property of the hairdressing composition become insufficient, while when the amount used exceeds 15% by weight, rain and sweat adhered to the hair. This is because the liquid droplets derived from, for example, become cloudy.

In the hair styling composition of the present invention, in addition to the above-mentioned components (A), (B) and (C), known additives used in general hair styling compositions are blended. be able to. For example, fragrances, dyes, ultraviolet absorbers, preservatives, antioxidants and the like can be appropriately added within a range that does not impair the effects of the present invention. In particular, the addition of a small amount of water is preferable because it improves the low temperature stability of the hair styling composition. However, the addition of excess water causes the hairdressing composition to become cloudy, so the amount of water added should be 2% by weight or less, preferably 1% by weight or less.

The hair styling composition of the present invention can be manufactured by a conventional method. For example, it can be produced by mixing and stirring the components (A), (B) and (C) and, if necessary, other additives.

Since the hair styling composition of the present invention is transparent and liquid like the hair liquid, it can be used in the same manner as the hair liquid, and the same feeling of use can be obtained.

[0029]

In the present invention, a liquid lanolin or a liquid derivative thereof which is excellent in hair setting power and can impart gloss to the hair, and a nonionic surfactant of HLB 9 to 13 which is liquid at room temperature are used as a hydrocarbon solvent. Dissolve evenly in a specific ratio. Therefore, the hair styling composition of the present invention becomes transparent and liquid, has a smooth feeling of use, and can be easily washed off with water, and can be used in the same manner as conventional hair liquids. Moreover, it has a setting force equivalent to that of the conventional pomade, and can suppress the conspicuousness of the gray hair.

Excellent results were shown for each item of "hair styling power" and "hair washability / hand washability".

On the other hand, in the hair styling composition of Comparative Example 1, since the content of liquid lanolin was as low as 5% by weight, the hair styling ability was significantly reduced, and the noticeability of white hair could not be sufficiently suppressed.
The hair styling composition of Comparative Example 2 had a liquid lanolin content of 6
Since it is as high as 0% by weight, stickiness is great and the usability is deteriorated.
Moreover, the conspicuousness of gray hair and the ability to wash hair and wash hands were insufficient. Since the hair styling composition of Comparative Example 3 contained a small amount of nonionic surfactant, the hair washability and hand washability were significantly reduced.

Further, since the hair styling composition of Comparative Example 4 was not liquid but paste-like, it had a large stickiness and a heavy feeling of use, and the hair-washing and hand-washing properties were insufficient. Since the hairdressing composition of Comparative Example 5 is a hair liquid formulation, it was not possible to suppress the conspicuousness of white hair, and the gloss of the hair was insufficient.
