PIGMENTS AND WHITE PIGMENTS
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a liquid composition comprising goniochromatic pigments and white pigments, for a make-up for a keratinous substance such as skin, and a cosmetic process using the same.
BACKGROUND ART
Cosmetic liquid compositions for keratinous substances are used as make-up cosmetics such as liquid foundation. These compositions are used to provide keratinous substances with an attractive appearance. Therefore, for the cosmetic liquid compositions as make-up cosmetics, aesthetic effects, such as effects to provide natural finish, three-dimensional appearance effects, and good coverage to keratinous substances, preferably skin, in particular facial skin, are very important. In order to impart such aesthetic effects to cosmetic liquid compositions, use of goniochromatic pigments in the compositions has been proposed.
For example, JP-A-H11-322541 discloses a cosmetic composition comprising: a cosmetically acceptable medium; at least one first colorant; and at least one second colorant; wherein said first colorant is a goniochromatic colorant able to produce different colors depending on the light incidence and viewing angle, said goniochromatic colorant being a multilayer
interference structure, and said second colorant is a monochromatic colorant which produces one of the colors of said goniochromatic colorant.
In addition, US-B-5,008,l43 discloses a goniochromatic pigment exhibiting a multicolor effect consisting essentially of a transparent body, an interference pigment and an absorption colorant in which said absorption colorant is of a color which is different from the reflection color of the interference pigment or the complement thereof and in which the interference pigment and absorption colorant have the same order of magnitude of color intensity.
However, there is still a demand for cosmetic liquid products with improved cosmetic effects. In particular, there is a demand for cosmetic liquid products providing aesthetic effects such as effects to provide natural finish, three-dimensional appearance effects, and good coverage to keratinous substances, preferably skin, in particular facial skin.

Thus, the liquid composition according to the present invention comprises:
(a) at least one goniochromatic pigment able to produce different colors depending on light incidence and viewing angle, wherein the goniochromatic pigment comprises an optical transmissive platelet, titanium dioxide, and a colorant and exhibits an interference color selected from pink, red, orange, yellow, and gold, in an amount of 3 to 30% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition; and
(b) at least one white pigment in an amount of 0.5 to 15% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.
Hereafter, the composition according to the present invention will be described in a detailed manner.
[Composition]
The liquid composition according to the present invention comprises (a) at least one goniochromatic pigment able to produce different colors depending on light incidence and viewing angle, wherein the goniochromatic pigment comprises an optical transmissive platelet, titanium dioxide, and a colorant and exhibits an interference color selected from pink, red, orange, yellow, and gold, in an amount of 3 to 30% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition; and (b) at least one white pigment in an amount of 0.5 to 15% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.
(Goniochromatic Pigment)
The composition according to the present invention comprises (a) at least one goniochromatic pigment. Two or more (a) goniochromatic pigments may be used in combination. Thus, a single type of goniochromatic pigment or a combination of different types of goniochromatic pigments may be used.
The term“pigments” here should be understood as meaning white or coloured, mineral or organic particles that are insoluble in a medium in the composition.
The term“goniochromatic pigment” here can be understood to mean a pigment exhibiting a goniochromatic property producing different colors depending on the incidence of light and the angle of observation. Therefore, the (a) goniochromatic pigment is able to produce different colors depending on light incidence and viewing angle.
Goniochromatic pigments have in general an interferential multilayer structure composed of an optical transmissive platelet and a coating of interference pigments on the platelet. The multilayers may make it possible to allow the creation of changes in color, hue and lightness by interference of light rays, which diffract and diffuse differently according to the layers.
In addition, goniochromatic pigments can include at least one absorption colorant in the coating. In this case, goniochromatic pigments can exhibit two distinct colors: an
“absorption color” which can be produced from the absorption colorant and a“reflection color” which can be produced by reflection from an interference pigment, depending on the angle of viewing. At the normal angle of viewing, the reflection color of the interference pigment is seen. At the diffuse angle or the grazing angle, the reflection color of the interference pigment is no longer observed and the absorption color is now seen. Thus by changing the angle of viewing from the normal angle to a grazing angle, the color changes from the reflection color by the interference to the absorption color by the absorption pigment.
The (a) goniochromatic pigment of the present invention comprises an optically transmissive platelet, titanium dioxide as an interference pigment, and a colorant as an absorption pigment.
The material of the optical transmissive platelet is not limited as long as it is optical transmissive. Examples of the material of the optical transmissive platelet include mica, such as natural mica and synthetic mica, and glass. Preferably, the optical transmissive platelet of the goniochromatic pigment is made of mica, such as natural mica and synthetic mica.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the coating of interference pigments of titanium dioxide on the optical transmissive platelet of the (a) goniochromatic pigment may have a thickness ranging from 10 to 300 nm, preferably 20 to 200 nm, and more preferably, 30 to 150 nm.
Examples of the colorant include, but are not limited to, an iron oxide, such as Fe203, carmine, ferric ferrocyanide Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3, and mixtures thereof. Preferably, the colorant in the goniochromatic pigment is selected from Fe203 and carmine. The“colorant” here does not include titanium dioxide which is used as an interference pigment in the (a) goniochromatic pigment of the present invention.
The (a) goniochromatic pigment of the present invention exhibits a reflection color selected from pink, red, orange, yellow, and gold. Preferably, the reflection color is selected from pink, red, orange, and yellow. The absorption color of the (a) goniochromatic pigment is not particularly limited, but is preferably selected from gold, red, orange, yellow and blue, more preferably gold, orange, and yellow.
The (a) goniochromatic pigment may have an average particle size of 0.5 pm or more, preferably 1 pm or more, and more preferably 5 pm or more. The (a) goniochromatic pigment may have an average particle size of 200 pm or less, preferably 150 pm or less, and more preferably 100 pm or less, and in particular 50 pm or less. The term“average particle size” used herein represents a number-average size mean diameter which is given by the statistical particle size distribution to half of the population, referred to as D50. For example, the number-average size mean diameter can be measured by a laser diffraction particle size distribution analyzer, such as Mastersizer from Malvern Corp.
The content of the optical transmissive platelet in the (a) goniochromatic pigment is not limited, but may be 20% by weight or more, preferably 30% by weight or more, and more preferably 40% by weight or more, relative to the total weight of the goniochromatic pigment.

goniochromatic pigment.
Therefore, the content of the optical transmissive platelet in the (a) goniochromatic pigment can range from 20 to 85% by weight, preferably from 30 to 75% by weight, and more preferably from 40 to 70% by weight, relative to the total weight of the goniochromatic pigment.
The content of titanium dioxide in the (a) goniochromatic pigment is not limited, but may be 10% by weight or more, preferably 20% by weight or more, and more preferably 30% by weight or more, relative to the total weight of the goniochromatic pigment.

EXAMPLES
The present invention will be described in a more detailed manner by way of examples.
However, these examples should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.
< Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 >
[Composition]
The compositions according to Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 were prepared by mixing the ingredients listed in Table 1. First, the ingredients of the oil phase and powder ingredients were mixed to disperse pigments and fillers inside the oil phase. The ingredients in the water phase were then added to the mixture to obtain an emulsion. Finally, the goniochromatic pigments were added and then mixed to obtain emulsion samples.
Regarding Comparative Example 4, talc was added together with the goniochromatic pigment. The compositions are shown in Table 1. In Table 1 , all components are based on“% by weight” as active raw materials.
[Evaluation]
The compositions according to Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 were evaluated with respect to three key properties of a three-dimensional appearance effect, natural finish, and a coverage efficacy by 7 monitors. Each of the compositions according to Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 was applied on the monitors’ faces by the monitors themselves and the monitors evaluated if they were able to perceive a three-dimensional appearance effect, enough coverage, and natural finish after application. Table 1 shows how many people perceived each effect.
+++ : 6-7 persons perceived the effect
++ : 4-5 persons perceived the effect
+ : 2-3 persons perceived the effect
: 0-1 persons perceived the effect

As can be seen from the evaluation results in Table 1 , the composition according to Example 1 including a combination of the goniochromatic pigment of the present invention and the white pigment in a specific amount exhibited a superior three-dimensional appearance effect, natural finish, and enough coverage efficacy.
On the other hand, the compositions according to Comparative Examples 1 to 3, which do not comprise the goniochromatic pigment of the present invention, could not provide enough natural finish or three-dimensional appearance effect. The composition according to
Comparative Example 4, which includes the goniochromatic pigment of the present invention but in a small amount, could not provide enough three-dimensional appearance effect and coverage efficacy. Therefore, it can be concluded that the liquid cosmetic composition according to the present invention is very preferable for use as a make-up cosmetic, such as a liquid foundation, make-up base, and skincare cream.
