Transparent gel cosmetic preparation

Abstract

Provided is a gel cosmetic preparation which has excellent safety, moisturizing effect and feeling of use, while being stably provided with transparency over a long period of time. A transparent gel cosmetic preparation of the present invention is obtained by mixing an aqueous phase (A) and an oil phase (B), and is characterized in that the aqueous phase (A) and the oil phase (B) respectively contain the components described below and the difference between the refractive index of the aqueous phase (A) and the refractive index of the oil phase (B) at 20 DEG C is within +-0.05. Components contained in the aqueous phase (A): a polyglycerol fatty acid ester, a polyhydric alcohol and water Component contained in the oil phase (B): an oil that has a refractive index of 1.30-1.50 at 20 DEG C.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a transparent gel cosmetic agent, and more specifically, to a transparent gel cosmetic agent useful as a skin care cosmetic agent such as a moisturizing gel and a hand gel, and a hair care cosmetic agent such as a gel hair conditioner. Cosmetic agent. Background technique [0002] Lotions or gel-like cosmetics containing moisturizers used for the purpose of imparting moisture to hair or skin mostly have a transparent appearance, which is preferred by many consumers. Furthermore, these lotions or gel cosmetics are required to further enhance their moisturizing effects. [0003] When an oil is blended into a cosmetic agent, a moisturizing effect corresponding to the blended amount can be obtained, but the cosmetic agent tends to become cloudy, and it is very difficult to blend a large amount of the oil agent while maintaining transparency and safety. For example, when polyoxyethylene-based surfactants are used as emulsi...

Problems solved by technology

However, at this time, the silicone oil is limited to a viscosity of 10 cSt or less, and the amount (40% by weight or less) that can be blended is not sufficient to obtain a sufficient moisturizing effect

[0005] Therefore, when emphasis is placed on appearance, safety, moisturizing effect, and feeling of use are not satisfactory, and when safety, moisturizing effect, and feeling of use are emphasized, transparent appearance cannot be achieved.

That is, the current status is that there is no gel-like cosmetic agent that has all of safety, transparent appearance, excellent moisturizing effect, and usability.
