Description
本発明は、化粧用抗菌性スポンジに関する。さらに詳しくは、本発明は、抗菌性、抗菌維持性および耐洗濯性に優れている化粧用抗菌性スポンジおよび当該化粧用抗菌性スポンジを有し、例えば、液状ファンデーション、粉体化粧料などの化粧料を肌に塗布する際に好適に使用することができる化粧用抗菌性塗布具に関する。
The present invention relates to a cosmetic antibacterial sponge. More specifically, the present invention has an antibacterial cosmetic sponge that is excellent in antibacterial properties, antibacterial maintenance properties, and wash resistance, and the antibacterial cosmetic sponge is suitable for use in cosmetics such as liquid foundations and powder cosmetics. The present invention relates to a cosmetic antibacterial applicator that can be suitably used when applying cosmetics to the skin.
化粧料を化粧用具で肌に塗布するとき、当該化粧用具に肌の皮脂、剥離した皮膚などが付着する。肌の皮脂、剥離した皮膚などが付着している化粧用具をそのままの状態で放置したとき、当該化粧用具に雑菌が繁殖し、悪臭が発生することがある。そこで、化粧用具に雑菌が発生することを防止するために、抗菌剤としてジンクピリチオンなどのピリチオン金属塩系抗菌剤、チアベンダゾールなどのチアベンゾール系抗菌剤などの有機合成系抗菌剤が当該化粧用具に含有されている（例えば、特許文献１の請求項１および特許文献２の段落［００５９］参照）。
When applying cosmetics to the skin using cosmetic tools, skin sebum, peeled skin, etc. adhere to the cosmetic tools. When cosmetic tools that have skin oil, peeled skin, etc. attached to them are left as they are, bacteria may grow on the cosmetic tools and cause a bad odor. Therefore, in order to prevent the growth of germs on cosmetic tools, organic synthetic antibacterial agents such as pyrithione metal salt antibacterial agents such as zinc pyrithione and thiabendazole antibacterial agents such as thiabendazole are included in the cosmetic tools. (For example, see claim 1 of Patent Document 1 and paragraph [0059] of Patent Document 2).
しかし、近年、人体に対する安全性および環境保護の観点から有機合成系抗菌剤の使用が規制される方向にあることから、有機合成系抗菌剤を化粧用具に使用しなくても抗菌性を有する化粧用具の開発が望まれている。
However, in recent years, the use of synthetic organic antibacterial agents has been regulated from the perspective of human safety and environmental protection. Development of tools is desired.
また、化粧用抗菌性塗布具に化粧料が付着したとき、当該化粧用抗菌性塗布具を衛生に保つために、一般に当該化粧用抗菌性塗布具が洗浄される。しかし、有機合成系抗菌剤が使用されている化粧用抗菌性塗布具を洗浄したとき、付着した化粧料とともに有機合成系抗菌剤が化粧用抗菌性塗布具から除去されるため、当該化粧用抗菌性塗布具の抗菌性を維持することができなくなるのみならず、当該化粧用抗菌性塗布具から除去された有機合成系抗菌剤が排水されることから自然環境への影響が懸念される。
Furthermore, when cosmetics adhere to the cosmetic antibacterial applicator, the cosmetic antibacterial applicator is generally washed in order to keep the cosmetic antibacterial applicator sanitary. However, when a cosmetic antibacterial applicator containing an organic synthetic antibacterial agent is washed, the organic synthetic antibacterial agent is removed from the cosmetic antibacterial applicator along with the adhering cosmetics. Not only will it be impossible to maintain the antibacterial properties of the antibacterial cosmetic applicator, but the organic synthetic antibacterial agent removed from the antibacterial cosmetic applicator will be drained away, raising concerns about the impact on the natural environment.

ＺＰＴ：ジンクピリチオン
ＩＰＢＣ：ブチルカルバミン酸ヨウ化プロピル
ＣＣＲ：クロロクレゾール In addition, in Table 3, each abbreviation of the organic synthetic antibacterial agent means the following.
ZPT: Zinc pyrithione IPBC: Propyl butylcarbamate iodide CCR: Chlorocresol
表３に示された結果から、各比較例では、化粧用抗菌性スポンジに有機合成系抗菌剤が使用されていることから、当該化粧用抗菌性スポンジから除去された有機合成系抗菌剤が排水されるので自然環境への影響が懸念されることがわかる。また、各比較例で得られた化粧用抗菌性スポンジは、耐洗濯性または使用感に劣り、ハロー幅が確認されたことから抗菌維持性に劣ることがわかる。また、比較例１で得られた化粧用抗菌性スポンジには、有機合成系抗菌剤（ジンクピリチオン）が使用されており、ハロー幅（細菌の発育阻止幅）が認められ、さらに洗濯試験後にハロー幅の減少が認められることから、有機合成系抗菌剤が試験片から滲出（ブリード）し、滲出した有機合成系抗菌剤が直接的にヒトの肌に接触するおそれがあることがわかる。
From the results shown in Table 3, in each comparative example, since an organic synthetic antibacterial agent is used in the cosmetic antibacterial sponge, the organic synthetic antibacterial agent removed from the cosmetic antibacterial sponge is It can be seen that there are concerns about the impact on the natural environment. In addition, the cosmetic antibacterial sponges obtained in each comparative example were inferior in wash resistance or usability, and the halo width was observed, indicating that they were inferior in antibacterial retention. In addition, the cosmetic antibacterial sponge obtained in Comparative Example 1 uses an organic synthetic antibacterial agent (zinc pyrithione), and a halo width (bacterial growth inhibition width) was observed, and after a washing test, the halo width was A decrease in the amount of antibacterial agents observed in the sample indicates that the organic synthetic antibacterial agent bleeds from the test piece, and there is a risk that the exuded organic synthetic antibacterial agent may come into direct contact with human skin.
これに対して、各実施例で得られた化粧用抗菌性スポンジは、表１および表２に示されるように、有機合成系抗菌剤が使用されていないことから、当該化粧用抗菌性スポンジから有機合成系抗菌剤が排出されることがないので、自然環境に優しいという利点を有することがわかる。
On the other hand, as shown in Tables 1 and 2, the cosmetic antibacterial sponges obtained in each example did not contain organic synthetic antibacterial agents. It can be seen that this method has the advantage of being environmentally friendly because no organic synthetic antibacterial agent is discharged.
また、各実施例で得られた化粧用抗菌性スポンジは、ラベンダー油、ティートリー油、ユーカリ油、レモン油、ヒノキチオール油またはニーム油が用いられているので、抗菌性を発揮するのに充分な抗菌活性値を示すことが確認され、ハロー幅が検出されなかった。また、各実施例で得られた化粧用抗菌性スポンジは、各比較例で得られた化粧用抗菌性スポンジと対比して、抗菌活性値が１００倍以上高いことが確認された。
In addition, the cosmetic antibacterial sponge obtained in each example uses lavender oil, tea tree oil, eucalyptus oil, lemon oil, hinokitiol oil, or neem oil, so it has sufficient antibacterial properties to exhibit antibacterial properties. It was confirmed that it showed an activity value, and no halo width was detected. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the antibacterial cosmetic sponges obtained in each example had an antibacterial activity value that was 100 times or more higher than that of the antibacterial cosmetic sponges obtained in each comparative example.
したがって、各実施例で得られた化粧用抗菌性スポンジは、ハロー幅が検出されないことから抗菌維持性に優れており、植物性精油の滲出により、当該植物性精油がヒトの肌に接触しがたいことがわかる。また、各実施例で得られた化粧用抗菌性スポンジを洗濯したとき、当該洗濯後でも抗菌性が維持されており、ハロー幅が検出されないので抗菌維持性に優れていることから、耐洗濯性にも優れていることがわかる。
Therefore, the cosmetic antibacterial sponges obtained in each example have excellent antibacterial retention properties since no halo width is detected, and the exudation of the plant essential oil prevents the plant essential oil from coming into contact with human skin. I know what I want. In addition, when the cosmetic antibacterial sponges obtained in each example were washed, the antibacterial properties were maintained even after washing, and the halo width was not detected, indicating excellent antibacterial maintenance properties. It can be seen that it is also excellent.
さらに、実施例１～７で得られた化粧用抗菌性スポンジ、なかでも実施例１～６で得られた化粧用抗菌性スポンジは、アクリロニトリル－ブタジエンゴム（ＮＢＲ）とペパーミント油とが併用されているので、植物性精油の溶出を防止し、耐洗濯性を向上させるとともに、スポンジの抗菌性の維持性を向上させ、使用感にも優れていることがわかる。
Furthermore, the cosmetic antibacterial sponges obtained in Examples 1 to 7, especially the cosmetic antibacterial sponges obtained in Examples 1 to 6, were prepared by using acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) and peppermint oil in combination. It can be seen that this prevents the elution of vegetable essential oils, improves washing resistance, improves the ability to maintain the antibacterial properties of the sponge, and provides an excellent usability.
したがって、本発明の化粧用抗菌性スポンジは、従来の有機合成系抗菌剤が使用されていないので、自然環境に優しく、優れた抗菌性を有しているのみならず、植物性精油が滲出（ブリード）しがたいので抗菌維持性に優れており、例えば、液状ファンデーション、粉体化粧料などの化粧料が付着した後に洗濯したときでも当該抗菌性が維持されることから耐洗濯性にも優れているので、化粧用抗菌性塗布具に好適に使用することができる。
Therefore, since the cosmetic antibacterial sponge of the present invention does not use conventional organic synthetic antibacterial agents, it is not only environmentally friendly and has excellent antibacterial properties, but also exudes vegetable essential oils ( It has excellent antibacterial retention properties because it is difficult to bleed (bleed), and it also has excellent washing resistance because it maintains its antibacterial properties even when washed after being coated with cosmetics such as liquid foundation and powder cosmetics. Therefore, it can be suitably used in cosmetic antibacterial applicators.
