Unless otherwise specified, the numerical values in the tables below refer to the blend amounts of each component, and are expressed in mass %.
 《実施例1、並びに比較例1、2、及び2-1》
 表1の処方に基づき、実施例及び比較例のそれぞれの美容組成物を調製した。調製された各組成物に対して、それぞれの美容成分の皮膚への「累積透過試験」を行った。
Example 1, and Comparative Examples 1, 2, and 2-1
Each of the cosmetic compositions of the Examples and Comparative Examples was prepared based on the formulation in Table 1. For each of the prepared compositions, a "cumulative permeation test" of each cosmetic ingredient into the skin was carried out.
 〈累積透過試験〉
 調製された各組成物の透過性に関して経時のサンプリングが可能であり、日本薬局方にも収載されている縦型フランツ拡散セル(以下「フランツセル」と称する。)を用いて各種結晶性水溶性薬剤組成物の疑似皮膚膜透過性に関する評価を実施した。
Cumulative permeation test
The permeability of each prepared composition can be sampled over time, and the simulated skin membrane permeability of various crystalline water-soluble drug compositions was evaluated using a vertical Franz diffusion cell (hereinafter referred to as "Franz cell"), which is also listed in the Japanese Pharmacopoeia.
 より具体的には、フランツセルとして、1.77cmの有効透過面積を有するフランツセルを用いた。フランツセルに配置する透過膜である疑似皮膚膜として、フランツセルを構成するドナーセルの外径に合わせてポンチで切り抜いたStrat-M(商標)メンブレン(Merck Millipore社製)を用いた。疑似皮膚膜は、フランツセルにセットする前に生理的リン酸緩衝液(PBS)に浸して十分に水和させた。ウォーターバスとレシーバーセルジャケットとをホースでフランツセルに連結し、一連の恒温装置システムを組み立てた後、レシーバーセル内にPBSを満たした。セル挟みを用い、レシーバーセルとドナーセルとの間に疑似皮膚膜を空気が入らないようにしっかりと固定した。疑似皮膚膜の表面温度を、温度調節器を用いて肌の表面温度に相当する約32℃に保持し、レシーバーセル内のPBSをスターラーバーで攪拌しながら1時間以上順化させた。各組成物の疑似皮膚膜への適用は、実使用を想定した有限開放適用で実施した。各組成物を30秒間均一に疑似皮膚膜に塗布した。塗布してから所定時間経過後(塗布してから0、1、2、4、8及び24時間経過後)、レシーバーセルから抽出液を採取した。LC-MS検出器を備えたHPLCシステムを用い、採取した抽出液中の薬剤量を定量して累積透過量を算出した。 More specifically, a Franz cell having an effective permeation area of 1.77 cm2 was used as the Franz cell. As the pseudo-skin membrane, which is a permeable membrane to be placed in the Franz cell, a Strat-M (trademark) membrane (Merck Millipore) cut out with a punch to match the outer diameter of the donor cell constituting the Franz cell was used. The pseudo-skin membrane was soaked in physiological phosphate buffer (PBS) before being set in the Franz cell to be fully hydrated. The water bath and the receiver cell jacket were connected to the Franz cell with a hose, and a series of thermostatic device systems were assembled, and then the receiver cell was filled with PBS. The pseudo-skin membrane was firmly fixed between the receiver cell and the donor cell using a cell clamp so that air would not enter. The surface temperature of the pseudo-skin membrane was maintained at about 32°C, which corresponds to the surface temperature of the skin, using a temperature regulator, and the PBS in the receiver cell was acclimated for more than 1 hour while being stirred with a stirrer bar. The application of each composition to the pseudo-skin membrane was carried out by limited open application assuming practical use. Each composition was uniformly applied to the simulated skin membrane for 30 seconds. After a given time had elapsed since application (0, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours since application), the extract was collected from the receiver cell. The amount of drug in the collected extract was quantified using an HPLC system equipped with an LC-MS detector, and the cumulative permeation amount was calculated.
 図1は、実施例1及び比較例1の4-メトキシサリチル酸カリウムの累積透過量の結果を示している。図2は、比較例2及び比較例2-1のニコチン酸アミドの累積透過量の結果を示している。 Figure 1 shows the results of the cumulative permeation amount of potassium 4-methoxysalicylate in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1. Figure 2 shows the results of the cumulative permeation amount of nicotinamide in Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 2-1.
 図1の結果から明らかなように、シクロヘキサン-1,4-ジカルボン酸ビスエトキシジグリコールを含有している実施例1では、シクロヘキサン-1,4-ジカルボン酸ビスエトキシジグリコールを含有していなかった比較例1の場合に比べて、4-メトキシサリチル酸カリウムの累積透過量が著しく増加したことが分かった。特に、実施例1の4-メトキシサリチル酸カリウムの累積透過量は、4時間経過時に、比較例1の場合の約42倍に増加し、また、8時間経過時に比較例1の場合の約15倍に増加し、更に、24時間の時点で、比較例1の場合の約9倍に有意差をもって増加したことが分かった。 As is clear from the results in Figure 1, it was found that in Example 1, which contains bisethoxydiglycol cyclohexane-1,4-dicarboxylate, the cumulative permeation amount of potassium 4-methoxysalicylate was significantly increased compared to Comparative Example 1, which did not contain bisethoxydiglycol cyclohexane-1,4-dicarboxylate. In particular, it was found that the cumulative permeation amount of potassium 4-methoxysalicylate in Example 1 increased to about 42 times that of Comparative Example 1 after 4 hours, increased to about 15 times that of Comparative Example 1 after 8 hours, and further increased significantly to about 9 times that of Comparative Example 1 at 24 hours.
 これに対して、図2の結果からは、シクロヘキサン-1,4-ジカルボン酸ビスエトキシジグリコールを含有している比較例2では、シクロヘキサン-1,4-ジカルボン酸ビスエトキシジグリコールを含有していなかった比較例2-1の場合に比べて、ニコチン酸アミドの累積透過量は多少増加したものの、有意差は見られず、上述した実施例1と比較例1とを比較した場合の増加率よりも遥かい小さかったことが分かった。 In contrast, the results in Figure 2 show that, in Comparative Example 2, which contains bisethoxydiglycol cyclohexane-1,4-dicarboxylate, the cumulative amount of nicotinamide permeation increased slightly compared to Comparative Example 2-1, which did not contain bisethoxydiglycol cyclohexane-1,4-dicarboxylate, but there was no significant difference, and the increase was much smaller than the increase rate when comparing Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 described above.
 《実施例2~4》
 表2の処方に基づき、実施例2~4のそれぞれの美容組成物(クリーム状)を調製した。調製された各組成物に対して、上述した実施例1と同様な手順で、それぞれの美容成分の皮膚への「累積透過試験」を行った。
Examples 2 to 4
Cosmetic compositions (cream-like) of Examples 2 to 4 were prepared based on the formulations in Table 2. For each of the prepared compositions, a "cumulative permeation test" of each cosmetic ingredient into the skin was carried out in the same manner as in Example 1 described above.
 図3は、実施例2~4の美容成分(4-メトキシサリチル酸カリウム)の累積透過量の結果を示している。 Figure 3 shows the cumulative permeation results of the beauty ingredient (potassium 4-methoxysalicylate) in Examples 2 to 4.
 図3の結果から明らかなように、実施例2~4の組成物において、経皮浸透促進剤としてのシクロヘキサン-1,4-ジカルボン酸ビスエトキシジグリコールの含有量の増加に伴い、4-メトキシサリチル酸カリウムの累積透過量が増加する傾向があることが分かった。 As is clear from the results in Figure 3, in the compositions of Examples 2 to 4, the cumulative amount of potassium 4-methoxysalicylate permeated tends to increase with an increase in the content of bisethoxydiglycol cyclohexane-1,4-dicarboxylate as a percutaneous penetration enhancer.
 《処方例》
 以下に、本発明の美容組成物のいくつかの処方例を挙げるが、本発明はこれらの例示に限定されるものではない。なお、以下の表中の数値は、各成分の配合量を意味し、単位は質量%である。
<Prescription Example>
Below, some formulation examples of the cosmetic composition of the present invention are shown, but the present invention is not limited to these examples. The numerical values in the following tables indicate the blending amount of each component, and the unit is mass %.
 また、各処方例の調製はいずれも常法に基づくものである。例えば、組成物は、水溶性成分のみの場合には、イオン交換水に水溶性成分を均一に溶解させることによって調製される。また、組成物は、乳化物である場合には、イオン交換水に水溶性成分を溶解した後に、油性成分を添加することによって調製される。また、組成物は、無機粒子等を含む乳化物である場合には、イオン交換水に水溶性成分を溶解し、無機粒子を均一に分散させた後に、油性成分を添加することによって調製される。 The preparation of each formulation example is based on a conventional method. For example, if the composition contains only water-soluble components, it is prepared by uniformly dissolving the water-soluble components in ion-exchanged water. If the composition is an emulsion, it is prepared by dissolving the water-soluble components in ion-exchanged water and then adding the oily components. If the composition is an emulsion containing inorganic particles, it is prepared by dissolving the water-soluble components in ion-exchanged water, uniformly dispersing the inorganic particles, and then adding the oily components.
