Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic. Background Technology

[0002] As a cosmetic or topical skin agent, a cosmetic-related technology has been disclosed in which various solid oils are stably formulated as active ingredients in a solid oil form, and also impart a firming effect. However, when solid oils are formulated into oil-in-water emulsion cosmetics or water-based cosmetics, the solid oils are prone to precipitation or emulsification (emulsification, layering), resulting in stabilization problems. Furthermore, the solid oils are also prone to causing a sticky feeling, leading to issues with the user experience. In contrast, techniques have been disclosed for stably formulating glycyrrhetinic acid derivatives into emulsion compositions by combining fatty acid esters with carbon numbers of 10 to 18 with water-soluble surfactants, etc. (see, for example, Patent Document 1), or for stably formulating them into cosmetics by including liposomes containing cholesterol or phytosterols, stearyl glycyrrhetinate (also known as "stearyl glycyrrhetinate" or "stearyl glycyrrhetinate"), etc. (see, for example, Patent Document 2), and for stearyl glycyrrhetinate emulsion compositions with excellent usability by combining specific ester oils with alkyl-modified carboxyvinyl polymers (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

[0003] Existing technical documents

[0004] Patent documents

[0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2013-224290

[0006] Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2023-32103

[0007] Patent Document 3: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2013-173728 Summary of the Invention

[0008] The problem the invention aims to solve

[0009] However, in the technology involving emulsified compositions in Patent Document 1, a sticky feeling is generated due to the need for surfactants. Furthermore, after preparing an emulsified composition that can maintain its stability over time only at low temperatures such as 4°C, cosmetics are obtained by formulating only a small amount of this emulsified composition. From the viewpoint of high-temperature stability, the stable formulation of solid oils such as stearyl glycyrrhetinic acid ester is not sufficient.

[0010] In the cosmetic composition related technology of Patent Document 2, there is a problem that the liposomes are used as the target and the oily components cannot be fully combined.

[0011] Regarding the technology involving emulsified compositions in Patent Document 3, although the user experience is excellent with no stickiness or tightness, there has been little attention paid to the stable formulation of water-soluble polymers that need to be used as viscosity modifiers in low-viscosity liquids such as lotions with better penetration.

[0012] In particular, when formulating oil-in-water emulsions with amphiphilic properties such as stearyl glycyrrhetinic acid ester, cholesterol, or ceramide, the solid oils are prone to gelation and other instability problems due to their orientation at the emulsion interface, making stable formulation even more difficult.

[0013] The main technical problem of this invention is to obtain an oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic that can stably blend an oil with an IOB value (Inorganic Organic Balance) of 0.2 to 0.8 and which is solid at 25°C into a liquid oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic, and provides an excellent user experience with no stickiness, no tightness, no penetration, etc.

[0014] means for solving problems

[0015] Through in-depth research, the inventors have discovered that by selecting oils based on Hansen Solubility Parameters (HSP) to prepare emulsified oil-in-water emulsion cosmetics, cosmetics with significantly superior stability in formulation, solid oils with an IOB value of 0.2–0.8 at 25°C, and excellent user experience, including no stickiness, tightness, or penetration, can be obtained.

[0016] That is, the present invention is as follows.

[0017] [1] A water-in-oil emulsion cosmetic is provided, which contains: (A) An oil with an IOB value of 0.2 to 0.8 and which is solid at 25°C; (B) An oil that has an HSP distance Ra of less than 7.0 from component (A) and is liquid at 25°C; (C) Select one or more from the group consisting of free phospholipids and lysophospholipids; and (D) Select one or more from the group consisting of ethanol and polyols with an IOB value of 1.5 to 5. The average particle size of the emulsion droplets is less than 400 nm.

[0018] [2] Provides an oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic as described in [1], wherein the ingredient (C) contains lysophospholipids.

[0019] [3] Provide an oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic as described in [1] or [2], wherein the mass ratio of the content of the ingredient (C) to the total content of the ingredient (A) and the ingredient (B) (C) / {(A)+(B)} is 0.03 to 1.0.

[0020] [4] Provide an oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic as described in [1] or [2], wherein the content of ingredient (D) is 5% to 40% by mass relative to the total amount of the oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic.

[0021] [5] Provides an oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic as described in [1] or [2], which also contains the ingredient (E) erythritol.

[0023] [7] Provides an oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic as described in [1] or [2], which is formed by coating or impregnating a sheet.

[0024] Invention Effects

[0025] The water-in-oil emulsion cosmetic of the present invention can stably contain an oil with an IOB value of 0.2 to 0.8 and which is solid at 25°C, thus providing excellent firming effect. In addition, it can also prepare fine emulsion droplets, resulting in a penetrating yet non-sticky feel, and exhibits excellent stability over time. Detailed Implementation

[0026] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. However, the present invention is not limited to the preferred embodiments described below, and modifications can be freely made within the scope of the present invention.

[0027] Furthermore, unless otherwise stated, percentages in this specification are markings based on quality standards. Also, when using "~" to indicate a numerical range in this specification, the range should include the values ​​at both ends.

[0028] The component (A) used in this invention is an oil with an IOB value of 0.2 to 0.8 and is solid at 25°C.

[0029] Here, "solid at 25°C" means that it is non-fluid at 25°C and atmospheric pressure. In addition to being solid at 25°C and atmospheric pressure, it also includes a semi-solid state that is non-fluid at 25°C and atmospheric pressure but becomes fluid when a certain amount of force is applied.

[0030] The component (A) used in this invention can be a single component or two or more components used in any ratio. When there are two or more components (A), they are assumed to each have an IOB value of 0.2 to 0.8 and be solid at 25°C.

[0031] The component (A) used in this invention is not particularly limited as long as it is an oil with an IOB value of 0.2 to 0.8 and is solid at 25°C.

[0032] Examples of such oils include: ultraviolet absorbers such as bis(ethylhexyloxy)phenol methoxyphenyl triazine (IOB value = 0.43), hexyl diethylaminohydroxybenzoyl benzoate (IOB value = 0.68), and tert-butylmethoxydibenzoylmethane (IOB value = 0.47); stearyl glycyrrhetinic acid ester (IOB value = 0.33), ceramide NG (IOB value = 0.46), ceramide NP (IOB value = 0.70), cholesterol (IOB value = 0.35), and phytosterols (IOB value = 0.30–0.35).

[0033] Commercially available products include, for example, TINOSORB S (manufactured by BASF), phytosterol QI (manufactured by Tama Biochemical Co., Ltd.), Nissui Marine cholesterol (manufactured by Nippon Suisan Co., Ltd.), CERAMIDE2 (manufactured by Croda Japan Co., Ltd.), and CERAMIDE3 (manufactured by Cosmo Farm Co., Ltd.).

[0034] Here, the so-called IOB value refers to the ratio of the inorganic value (IV) to the organic value (OV) in the organic concept map, that is, "inorganic value (IV) / organic value (OV)" (see Fujita Mu's organic concept map: Chemical Field, Vol. 11, No. 10 (1957), pp. 719-725).

[0035] The ingredient (A) used in this invention is difficult to formulate into a water-in-oil emulsion cosmetic with an average droplet diameter of less than 400 nm using conventional techniques, but it can be preferred to use in this invention.

[0036] Regarding the IOB value of component (A) used in this invention, from the viewpoint of providing a good firming feel and non-stickiness, it is preferably 0.25 or higher, more preferably 0.3 or higher; from the viewpoint of preventing gelation or precipitation, it is preferably 0.5 or lower, more preferably 0.4 or lower. In this case, the IOB value is the IOB value of that component (A) when there is only one component (A), and the IOB value of each component (A) when there are two or more components (A).

[0037] As the component (A) used in this invention, solid oils having a steroidal skeleton (cholesterol, phytosterol) or a triterpenoid skeleton (stearyl glycyrrhetinic acid ester), such as cholesterol, phytosterol, and stearyl glycyrrhetinic acid ester, are preferred, with stearyl glycyrrhetinic acid ester being particularly preferred. These components provide superior performance in preventing gelation or precipitation.

[0038] Here, stearyl glycyrrhetinate is a compound obtained by ester bonding stearic acid with the hydroxyl group of glycyrrhetinic acid, obtained by hydrolysis of glycyrrhetinic acid contained in licorice, etc. Its systematic name is (20S)-3β-hydroxy-11-oxo-5α-oleanolic-12-en-29-octadecyl ester, and its molecular formula is C2. 48 H 82 O4. Glycyrrhetinic acid has a planar molecular structure, with positions 3 and 11 similar to those of cortisone, thus exhibiting anti-inflammatory properties. Stearyl glycyrrhetinic acid ester is an addition product of stearic acid and can be used as an anti-inflammatory ingredient in skin topical agents or cosmetics where safety is a concern.

[0039] There is no particular limitation on the content of ingredient (A) used in this invention, but as a lower limit relative to the total amount of the water-in-oil emulsion cosmetic, it is preferably 0.001% by mass (hereinafter referred to as %) or more, more preferably 0.01% or more, and even more preferably 0.1% or more. As an upper limit, it is preferably 10% or less, more preferably 5% or less, and even more preferably 3% or less. As a range, it is preferably 0.001 to 10%, more preferably 0.01 to 5%, and even more preferably 0.1 to 3%. Within this range, it is more preferable from the viewpoint of not causing gelation or precipitation, having a good firming feel, and being non-sticky.

[0040] There are no particular limitations on the component (B) used in this invention, as long as it is an oil with a Hansen solubility parameter (HSP) of less than 7.0 from that of component (A) and is liquid at 25°C.

[0041] Here, "liquid at 25°C" means that it is fluid at 25°C and atmospheric pressure.

[0042] Here, the Hansen solubility parameter (also known as "HSP") is a value published by Charles M. Hansen in 1967 for predicting the solubility of substances. It is a parameter based on the idea that "two substances with similar intermolecular interactions are likely to dissolve in each other." HSP consists of the following three parameters (unit: MPa). 1 / 2 )constitute.

[0043] d d: Energy generated by intermolecular dispersion forces

[0044] d p: Energy generated by intermolecular dipole interactions

[0045] d h: Energy generated by intermolecular hydrogen bonds

[0046] These three parameters can be viewed as coordinates in three-dimensional space (Hansen space), indicating that when the HSPs of two substances are placed in Hansen space, the closer the distance between the two points, the easier it is for them to dissolve in each other. In other words, HSPs can be used as an indicator of affinity.

[0047] The concept of HSPs is explained in detail in publications such as the March 2010 issue of *Chemical Industry* (Chemical Industry Press). It describes how HSPs for various substances can be obtained using personal computer software such as "HSPiP: Hansen Solubility Parameters in Practice". This disclosure uses HSPs obtained using version 5.3.02 of the personal computer software "HSPiP: Hansen Solubility Parameters in Practice".

[0048] Furthermore, the distance Ra of the Hansen solubility parameter (HSP) can be calculated using the Ra calculation function in "HSPiP: Hansen Solubility Parameters in Practice," or it can be expressed as follows: That is, set the coordinates of the HSP of component X as ( d dX、 d pX, d When hX), the coordinates relative to the HSP of component Y ( d dY、 d pY、 d The HSP distance Ra (unit: MPa) of hY) 1 / 2 The value can be calculated using the following formula.

[0049] Ra=[4×( d dX- d dY) 2 +( d pX- d pY) 2 +( d hX- d hY) 2 ] 1 / 2

[0050] Regarding component (B) used in this invention, when the coordinates of the HSP of component (A) are set as ( d da、 d pa、 d When (ha), the coordinates of the HSP of component (B) are (ha). d db、 d pb, d hb) satisfies the following calculation formula.

[0051] Ra=[4×( d da- d db) 2 +( d pa- d pb) 2 +( d ha- d hb) 2 ] 1 / 2 ≤7.0

[0052] The component (B) used in this invention can be a single ingredient or two or more ingredients used in any ratio. When there are two or more components (B), each is an oil with an HSP distance Ra of 7.0 or less from component (A) and is liquid at 25°C. Alternatively, when there are two or more components (A), it is sufficient that the HSP distance Ra from any one component (A) is 7.0 or less.

[0053] As an oil that is liquid at 25°C, there are no particular restrictions. It can be any of the oils commonly used in cosmetics. The HSP distance Ra between the oil and ingredient (A) can be calculated. If Ra is 7.0 or less, it can be used as ingredient (B).

For example, after emulsifying and mixing an aqueous component containing water and the remainder of component (D) into an oil phase obtained by heating and dissolving components (A) to (C) and part or all of component (D), the water-in-oil emulsion cosmetic of the present invention can be obtained by micronization treatment using a high-pressure emulsification and dispersion device such as a microfluidizer or a wet micronization device such as an ulimizer or a nanovaporizer. The processing pressure during micronization treatment is preferably 50 MPa to 200 MPa. When using component (E) or other components, they can be formulated at an appropriate time.

[0112] The average particle size of the emulsion droplets in the oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic of the present invention is 400 nm or less, preferably 300 nm or less, and more preferably 250 nm or less. If the average particle size of the emulsion droplets exceeds 400 nm, the effect of preventing emulsion separation is poor, and a sense of penetration cannot be obtained. As for the lower limit of the average particle size of the emulsion droplets, the smaller the size, the better the effect of preventing emulsion separation or the sense of penetration, so there is no particular limitation, and it is usually above 20 nm.

[0113] The average particle size of the emulsion droplets in the water-in-oil emulsion cosmetic of the present invention is set as the value obtained by measuring using a Beckman Coulter N5 Particle Analyzer by dynamic light scattering. During measurement, a sample obtained by diluting the prepared water-in-oil emulsion cosmetic composition with water can be used. Details of the measurement conditions are as described in the examples.

[0114] The viscosity of the water-in-oil emulsion cosmetic of the present invention is set as the value obtained by storing the prepared water-in-oil emulsion cosmetic at 30°C for one day and measuring it using a Brookfield rotational viscometer.

[0115] The water-in-oil emulsion cosmetic of the present invention, in addition to being liquid, can also be formulated into emulsions, creams, etc., depending on the intended use. Specifically, it is applicable to various beauty cosmetics, such as: serums, lotions, emulsions, creams, sheet masks, sunscreens, and other basic cosmetics; body cosmetics; foundations, bases, concealers, lip cosmetics, etc. Furthermore, besides being used on the skin of the face, body, hands, and feet, it can also be used on hair, and is suitable for hair sprays, hair lotions, and hair gels. Moreover, skin care cosmetics such as lotions, emulsions, and masks are particularly effective in achieving the effects of the present invention; therefore, from the viewpoint of achieving a sense of penetration, a liquid form is preferred in the present invention.

[0116] The liquid oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic can be filled into a non-aerosol spray container or an aerosol spray container for spraying into a mist, or it can be impregnated in non-woven fabric to form a sheet cosmetic. While the oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic of this invention can be applied directly by hand, it is more preferable to use it as a sheet cosmetic by impregnating it in non-woven fabric to achieve a stronger feeling of firmness or penetration.
