Description

The present invention relates to a cosmetic containing L-ascorbic acid-2-sodium phosphate, and more specifically, by containing a specific component, the decomposition of L-ascorbic acid-2-sodium phosphate. It is related with the cosmetics which suppressed yellowing and a foul smell accompanying and which were excellent in storage stability.

  Conventionally, for the purpose of improving or preventing skin blackening caused by sunburn, stains caused by pigmentation, buckwheat, etc., lotion, emulsion, cream, cosmetic liquid, pack, cleaning agent, dispersion, ointment, liquid, Whitening cosmetics such as aerosols and patches and anti-aging cosmetics are used, and L-ascorbic acid is widely used as an active ingredient.

  However, since L-ascorbic acid is oxidized and hydrolyzed relatively easily, it is easily decomposed even if it is added to cosmetics as it is, and the whitening effect itself of improving or preventing spots and freckles is reduced or yellowed. There is a concern that the quality of the cosmetics may be impaired, such as causing or changing odor. Therefore, in order to blend L-ascorbic acid into cosmetics, various derivatives that have been chemically modified to improve stability have been used.

  L-ascorbic acid-2-sodium phosphate is also a kind of derivative developed for the purpose of improving the storage stability of L-ascorbic acid. Although this product has significantly improved storage stability compared to L-ascorbic acid, when a cosmetic containing the same is stored for a long period of time, particularly at a temperature condition of 30 ° C. or higher, yellowing and discoloration associated with decomposition also occur. Odor was generated, and the storage stability as a cosmetic was not sufficient. Moreover, the concern that the usefulness falls also from the surface of the whitening effect remains.

  Therefore, a method of combining L-ascorbic acid-2-phosphate sodium salt with a divalent or higher salt for the purpose of further improving the storage stability of cosmetic L-ascorbic acid-2-phosphate salt in cosmetics (Japanese Patent Laid-Open 9-118613), a method of combining L-ascorbic acid-2-phosphate sodium, a compound having a thiol group or disulfide bond, sulfurous acid and an amino acid having a hydroxyl group (WO01 / 043702), etc. Yes.

  However, when L-ascorbic acid-2-phosphate sodium salt and a divalent or higher salt are combined, yellowing due to decomposition of L-ascorbic acid-2-sodium phosphate in long-term storage particularly at a high temperature of 30 ° C. or higher And it was not enough to suppress odor. Further, when L-ascorbic acid-2-phosphate sodium, a compound having a thiol group or a disulfide bond, sulfurous acid and an amino acid having a hydroxyl group are combined, yellowing due to decomposition of L-ascorbic acid-2-sodium phosphate Although it is possible to suppress odor, it was not sufficient to suppress odor. Furthermore, in high-temperature storage at 30 ° C. or higher, there is a drawback that a strange odor that may be caused by the compound itself having a thiol group or disulfide bond added as a storage stabilizer is generated.

  Therefore, even if L-ascorbic acid-2-phosphate sodium salt is blended in cosmetics and stored for a long period of time under high temperature conditions, a means for preventing the decomposition of this substance has been developed. It was sought after.

  In view of such a situation, the present inventors, as a result of intensive studies, when the cosmetic containing L-ascorbic acid-2-phosphate contains a specific nitrogen-containing compound at a predetermined blending ratio, The present inventors completed the present invention by finding that the yellowing and odor of L-ascorbic acid-2-phosphate sodium were suppressed and the cosmetics were kept stable for a long time.

That is, the present invention provides the following components (A) and (B);
