Description

Oil-in-water emulsified composition

The present invention relates to an oil-in-water emulsified composition. More specifically, the present invention relates to an oil-in-water emulsified composition having both an immediate visual skin correction effect and a long-term wrinkle improving effect by simultaneously blending an effective amount of powder and vitamins A (retinols).

Vitamin A (retinol) and its derivatives (referred to as "vitamin A" or "retinol") are known as cosmetic ingredients having an effect of improving skin wrinkles, and various cosmetics containing vitamin A are manufactured. It is known that vitamin A acts on keratinocytes to exert a hyaluronic acid synthesis promoting effect and exerts a wrinkle improving effect by increasing the water content of the stratum corneum. However, vitamin As (retinols) are extremely unstable and have a problem that they are easily altered by the influence of heat, light, oxygen and the like.

Patent Document 1 describes an oil-in-water emulsified skin cosmetic containing vitamin A in combination with three types of nonionic surfactants and a higher alcohol having 14 to 24 carbon atoms. In the skin cosmetics of Patent Document 1, the nonionic surfactant and higher alcohol form an α-gel structure together with oil in the presence of water, stabilizing not only emulsion stability but also vitamin As. It is said that it can be held in. However, in order to obtain the stabilizing effect, it is necessary to use all three types of specific nonionic surfactants, which narrows the range of formulations.

On the other hand, cosmetics having an effect of making unevenness of the skin such as wrinkles less noticeable (“skin correction effect” or “unevenness correction effect”) by the light diffusion effect of the powder component are also known, but in particular, oil-in-water emulsification When powder is added to cosmetics, deterioration of emulsion stability and aggregation of powder may be a problem.

Patent Document 2 states that (A) one or more higher alcohols having a linear saturated alkyl chain; (B) a hydrophilic surfactant containing a nonionic surfactant; (C) an average particle size. By containing 4 to 30% by mass of a powder of 1 to 30 μm; and (D) water, an aqueous cosmetic composition capable of naturally correcting the appearance of the skin while being an aqueous base having a fresh feeling of use. The thing is disclosed.

Patent Document 3 describes (A) 1 to 20% by mass of hydrophobized titanium oxide having an average particle size of 0.1 μm or more; (B) a sugar ester having a carboxyl group in its structure; (C) a liquid higher fatty acid; The oil-in-water emulsified cosmetic containing (D) higher alcohol; (E) nonionic surfactant; (F) water and (G) oil has the effect of making the skin look beautiful and has emulsion stability. It is stated that it is excellent.

In Patent Documents 1 to 3, by introducing an α-gel structure into the system, it has succeeded in stably maintaining vitamin A in Patent Document 1 and powder components in Patent Documents 2 and 3. However, it has been difficult to exert the respective effects while keeping both the vitamin A and the powder stable by simply combining Patent Document 1 with Patent Document 2 or 3.

The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to Examples below, but the present invention is not limited to the Examples. Unless otherwise specified, the blending amount is shown in% by mass.

An oil-in-water emulsified composition was prepared according to the formulations listed in Tables 1 and 2 below.
The composition of each example was produced as follows.
(1) Prepare an aqueous phase.
(2) A first oil phase (oil phase 1) that has been subjected to a dispersion treatment is prepared.
(3) The first oil phase is mixed with the aqueous phase to prepare a first emulsion.
(4) The second oil phase component (oil phase 2) is heated and mixed to prepare a second oil phase.
(5) The second oil phase is mixed with the first emulsion and cooled to room temperature.

The following evaluations were carried out for the compositions of each example shown in Tables 1 and 2 above. The evaluation results are also shown.

<Emulsification stability (stability over time)>
The compositions of each example were stored at 50 ° C. for 1 month, and the appearance was visually observed to evaluate the emulsion stability according to the following criteria.
A: No change (separation) was observed in the appearance after 1 month (50 ° C.).
B: Slight separation was observed after 1 month (50 ° C).
C: After 1 month (50 ° C), a clear separation was observed.

<Skin correction effect>
The composition of each example (immediately after production) was applied to the face by a specialized panel (10 people), and the actual feeling of the effect was evaluated for the skin correction effect after application according to the following criteria.
A: Nine or more people evaluated that they had a "real feeling of effect."
B: 6 to 8 people evaluated that they "have a real feeling of effect."
C: 4 to 5 people evaluated that "there is a real feeling of effect".
D: 3 or less evaluated that "there is a real feeling of effect".

<Wrinkle improvement effect>
The compositions of each example were shielded from light with aluminum foil and stored at 50 ° C. for 1 month. The amount of vitamin A in the composition after 1 month (50 ° C.) was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography, and the residual ratio (%) with respect to the amount of vitamin A immediately after production was calculated. The higher the residual rate, the more the activity of vitamin A is maintained and the effect of improving wrinkles is exhibited.
The conditions of high performance liquid chromatography used are as follows.
Column: C18 column (manufactured by Shiseido Co., Ltd.)
Detection: UV310nm
Mobile phase: 72% ethanol / 10% acetonitrile / 17.5% ion-exchanged water / 0.5% acetic acid

Evaluation criteria:
A: Residual rate is 90% or more B: Residual rate is 80% or more and less than 90% C: Residual rate is 60% or more and less than 80% D: Residual rate is less than 60%

As shown in Tables 1 and 2, the compositions of the present invention (Examples 1 to 5) in which the powder was blended in the first oil phase and vitamin A was blended in the second oil phase had emulsion stability. Good results were obtained in all of the skin correction effect and the wrinkle improvement effect. These good results show that the amount of vitamin A in the second oil phase is increased (implementation) regardless of the type and amount of the thickener to be blended in the aqueous phase, or the presence or absence of the silicone elastomer powder (Examples 1 to 3). It does not depend on Example 4) or the type of oil in the first oil phase (Example 5). On the other hand, when the ratio of the polar oil in the second oil phase was lowered, the wrinkle improving effect was slightly reduced, but there was no problem in practical use (Example 6). The composition of Example 6 was separated under severe conditions of storage at 50 ° C. for 1 month, but was stable for more than 1 month when stored at the actual operating temperature (room temperature).
As a matter of course, the skin correction effect was not obtained in Comparative Example 1 in which the powder was not blended with respect to these Examples. Further, in Comparative Example 2 in which the powder and vitamin A were blended in the same oil phase, vitamin A could not be stably retained, and a sufficient wrinkle improving effect could not be obtained.

Other formulations of the cosmetic composition of the present invention are listed in Table 3 below.
