Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to cosmetics. [Background technology]

[0002] Many cosmetics are known to contain beauty ingredients that provide cosmetic effects such as wrinkle reduction and skin whitening. However, it has been pointed out that the inclusion of beauty ingredients such as niacin can reduce the feel of the cosmetic product. For this reason, various studies have been conducted to improve the feel of cosmetics.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 describes that the feel of an oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic can be improved by including (A) niacinamide, (B) a vegetable oil that is a triglyceride, (C) a solid higher alcohol fatty acid ester, and (D) a phytosteryl dimer acid derivative in predetermined amounts. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2024-62903 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0005] However, there are aspects of the feel of cosmetics that have not been adequately considered, and some users may not be fully satisfied with the experience. For example, Patent Document 1 does not examine aspects of the feel of cosmetics during application, such as how easily they spread and how quickly they absorb.

[0006] In view of the above, one aspect of the present invention aims to provide a cosmetic product that contains beauty ingredients such as niacin, while also having a pleasant feel, such as being easy to spread and quickly absorbed. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] One embodiment of the cosmetic composition according to the present invention is: (a) Niacin or its derivatives, (b) At least one selected from the group consisting of polyoxyethylene dialkyl esters and polyoxyethylene dialkyl ethers represented by the following general formula (1):

[0008] [ka] (However, in the above general formula (1), R A and R B Each of these independently represents a linear aliphatic acid residue or linear aliphatic alcohol residue with 16 to 24 carbon atoms, and n is an integer between 4 and 15. (c) At least one selected from the group consisting of polyoxyethylene alkyl esters and polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers represented by the following general formula (2):

[0009] [ka] (However, in the above general formula (2), R C (where n represents a linear aliphatic residue, linear aliphatic acid residue, or linear aliphatic alcohol residue with 16 to 24 carbon atoms, and n is an integer between 5 and 30.) It is a cosmetic product containing [the specified ingredient]. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] According to one aspect of the present invention, it is possible to provide a cosmetic product that contains beauty ingredients such as niacin, while also having a pleasant feel, such as being easy to spread and quickly absorbed. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. Note that the embodiments are not limited by the following description and can be appropriately changed without departing from the gist of the present invention. In this specification, "~" indicating a numerical range means including the numerical values described before and after it as the lower limit value and the upper limit value, unless otherwise specified.

[0012] (Cosmetics) The cosmetics according to one embodiment contain (a) niacin or its derivative. Niacin is a general term for nicotinic acid and niacinamide (also called nicotinic acid amide, vitamin B3), which is a derivative of nicotinic acid. Although the inclusion of component (a) can obtain cosmetic effects such as improvement of wrinkles and whitening, it has been pointed out that various usability decreases. Therefore, there has been a demand for cosmetics with good usability, especially cosmetics that can obtain satisfactory usability even when the content of component (a) is increased.

[0013] In contrast, as a result of intensive studies, the present inventors have found that component (a) and (b) the following general formula (1)

[0014] [Chemical formula] (However, in general formula (1), R A and R B each independently represent a linear aliphatic acid residue or a linear aliphatic alcohol residue having 16 to 24 carbon atoms, and n represents an integer of 4 to 15), at least one selected from the group consisting of polyoxyethylene dialkyl esters and polyoxyethylene dialkyl ethers, and (c) the following general formula (2)

[0015] [Chemical formula] (However, in general formula (2), R CWe have found that a cosmetic composition containing at least one selected from the group consisting of polyoxyethylene alkyl esters and polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers represented by (where represents a linear aliphatic residue, linear aliphatic acid residue, or linear aliphatic alcohol residue having 16 to 24 carbon atoms, and n is an integer from 5 to 30) yields a cosmetic composition with a good feel, in particular, one that exhibits good lightness of spreadability and quick absorption. The aspects of feel, namely lightness of spreadability and quick absorption, are especially important for improving the tactile feel of the cosmetic when it is being applied. Furthermore, we have found that the above composition also suppresses stickiness of the cosmetic composition. This makes it possible to provide a cosmetic composition that contains component (a) with high cosmetic efficacy and has a good feel.

[0016] (a) Niacin or its derivatives (a) Niacin or its derivatives provide cosmetic effects such as wrinkle improvement, skin whitening, prevention of blemishes, firmness and elasticity, and moisturizing. As mentioned above, niacin means one or more of nicotinic acid and nicotinamide (niacinamide). Examples of niacin derivatives include derivatives of nicotinamide, such as nicotinic acid esters (tocopherol nicotinate, benzyl nicotinate, methyl nicotinate, ethyl nicotinate, etc.) and nicotinic acid salts. Of the above, it is preferable that component (a) contains niacinamide, and more preferable that component (a) consists of niacinamide, due to its high cosmetic effect.

[0017] (a) The above compounds can be used as components, either individually or in combination of two or more. Furthermore, components (a) may be extracted from natural products or synthesized by known methods.

[0018] In the cosmetic according to one embodiment, the content of the component (a) is not particularly limited and can be appropriately selected according to the purpose. However, with respect to the total mass of the cosmetic, 0.1% by mass to 12% by mass is preferable, 1% by mass to 10% by mass is more preferable, and 3% by mass to 10% by mass is even more preferable. When the content of the component (c) is 0.1% by mass to 12% by mass, a sufficient cosmetic effect can be obtained. Further, even with the content within the above range, in the cosmetic according to this embodiment, the lightness of elongation and the quickness of adaptability are not impaired, and the usability is good.

[0019] <At least one selected from the group consisting of polyoxyethylene dialkyl esters and polyoxyethylene dialkyl ethers represented by the general formula (1) (b)> At least one selected from the group consisting of polyoxyethylene dialkyl esters and polyoxyethylene dialkyl ethers contained in the cosmetic according to one embodiment is a compound represented by the following general formula (1) (hereinafter, also referred to as "component (b)"). In addition, the bonding mode of the polyoxyethylene chain and the alkyl group in one molecule may be an ester, an ether, or both may be included.

[0020]

Chem.

[0021] In this specification, "each independently" means that R A and R B may be different linear aliphatic acid residues or linear aliphatic alcohol residues having 16 to 24 carbon atoms, or may be the same linear aliphatic acid residue or linear aliphatic alcohol residue having 16 to 24 carbon atoms.

[0022] In the general formula (1), R A and R BEach of these independently represents a linear aliphatic acid residue or a linear aliphatic alcohol residue having 16 to 24 carbon atoms, but it is preferable that they are linear aliphatic acid residues having 16 to 24 carbon atoms.

[0023] (b)Specific examples of the component include polyoxyethylene (4) distearic acid (PEG-4 distearate), polyoxyethylene (6) distearic acid (PEG-6 distearate), polyoxyethylene (8) distearic acid (PEG-8 distearate), polyoxyethylene (12) distearic acid (PEG-12 distearate), steareth-4 stearate, steareth-6 stearate, steareth-9 stearate, etc. These may be used individually or in combination of two or more. The number in parentheses indicates the average number of moles of ethylene oxide added, represented by n in general formula (1). Of the above, polyoxyethylene (6) distearic acid (PEG-6 distearate) is particularly preferred because it can improve the feel of the cosmetic product.

[0024] (b) The component may be synthesized as appropriate by known methods, or a commercially available product may be used. Examples of commercially available components of (b) include EMALEX 200di-S (PEG-4 distearate), EMALEX 300di-S (PEG-6 distearate), EMALEX 400di-S (PEG-8 distearate), EMALEX 600di-S (PEG-12 distearate), EMALEX SWS-4 (Steareth-4 stearate), EMALEX SWS-6 (Steareth-6 stearate), and EMALEX SWS-9 (Steareth-9 stearate) (all manufactured by Nippon Emulsion Co., Ltd.).

[0025] In one embodiment, by including component (b) and component (c) (described in detail later), it becomes easier to form an α-gel in the cosmetic depending on the water content. "α-gel" refers to an aggregate formed in water by a higher aliphatic alcohol and a hydrophilic surfactant, which takes on an α structure (Shoji Fukushima, "Physical Chemistry of Cetyl Alcohol," Fragrance Journal Co., Ltd.). In the cosmetic according to one embodiment, component (b) and component (c) mainly form an aggregate. The formation of an α-gel is preferable in that high emulsification stability can be obtained. In the cosmetic, it is thought that the α-gel or a ripple phase capable of forming an α-gel (a phase in which the hydrocarbon chain portion is close to a crystalline state but the film is curved) holds component (a), which tends to cause a decrease in usability, so that a good usability is maintained by the presence of component (a) or by the presence of component (a) in a high content. In particular, the lightness of spreadability and quick absorption are well maintained, and stickiness is also suppressed.

[0026] In a cosmetic composition according to one embodiment, there are no particular restrictions on the content of component (b), and it can be appropriately selected depending on the purpose, but it is preferably 0.01% to 5% by mass, more preferably 0.1% to 5% by mass, and even more preferably 0.1% to 0.5% by mass, relative to the total mass of the cosmetic composition. When the content of component (b) is 0.01% to 5% by mass relative to the total mass of the cosmetic composition, an appropriate viscosity is obtained, and the ease of spreading and quick absorption are good. Furthermore, stickiness can be suppressed.

[0027] The ratio of the content of component (b) to the total content of component (b) and component (c), described later, is not particularly limited, but 15% to 45% by mass is preferred, and 20% to 40% by mass is more preferred. When the content of component (b) to the total content of component (b) and component (c) is 15% to 45% by mass, it is easy to form an α-gel phase. Therefore, despite the presence of component (a), it is possible to achieve good spreadability and quick absorption, and stickiness is also suppressed.

[0028] Furthermore, the total content of component (b) and component (c) is preferably 0.03% to 8% by mass, more preferably 0.05% to 5% by mass, and even more preferably 0.1% to 1% by mass, based on the total mass of the cosmetic. By setting the total content of component (b) and component (c) to 0.03% to 8% by mass, the action of the surfactant is enhanced, high emulsification stability is obtained, and the above-mentioned feel can be maintained well.

[0029] <(c) At least one selected from the group consisting of polyoxyethylene alkyl esters and polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers represented by general formula (2)> At least one of the components selected from the group consisting of polyoxyethylene alkyl esters and polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers contained in the cosmetic composition according to one embodiment is a compound represented by the following general formula (2) (hereinafter also referred to as "component (c)"). The bonding mode between the polyoxyethylene chain and the alkyl group in one molecule may be an ester, an ether, or both.

[0031] In general formula (2), R C This represents a linear aliphatic residue, a linear aliphatic acid residue, or a linear aliphatic alcohol residue having 16 to 24 carbon atoms, but it is preferably a linear aliphatic residue having 16 to 24 carbon atoms.

[0032] Specific examples of component (c) include polyoxyethylene (5) behenyl ether (beheneth-5), polyoxyethylene (10) behenyl ether (beheneth-10), polyoxyethylene (20) behenyl ether (beheneth-20), polyoxyethylene (30 mol) behenyl ether (beheneth-30), polyoxyethylene (10) stearyl ether (steareth-10), and polyoxyethylene (7) cetyl ether (ceteth-7). These may be used individually or in combination of two or more. The number in parentheses indicates the average number of moles of ethylene oxide added, represented by n in general formula (2). Of the above, polyoxyethylene (10) behenyl ether (beheneth-10) is particularly preferred as component (c) because it can improve the feel of the cosmetic product.

[0033] (c) The component may be synthesized appropriately using known methods, or a commercially available product may be used. (c) Examples of commercially available ingredients include NIKKOL BB-5 (Beheneth-5), NIKKOL BB-10 (Beheneth-10), NIKKOL BB-20 (Beheneth-20), NIKKOL BB-30 (Beheneth-30), NIKKOL HCO-20 (PEG-20 Hydrogenated Castor Oil), NIKKOL HCO-60 (PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil), NIKKOL TS-10V (Polysorbate 60) (all manufactured by Nikko Chemicals Co., Ltd.), EMALEX 610 (Steareth-10), EMALEX 107 (Ceteth-7), EMALEX GM-5 (PEG-5 Glyceryl Stearate), EMALEX GM-10 (PEG-10 Glyceryl Stearate) (all manufactured by Nippon Emulsion Co., Ltd.).

[0034] In a cosmetic composition according to one embodiment, there are no particular restrictions on the content of component (c), and it can be appropriately selected depending on the purpose, but it is preferably 0.01% to 5% by mass, more preferably 0.1% to 5% by mass, and even more preferably 0.1% to 0.5% by mass, relative to the total mass of the cosmetic composition. When the content of component (c) is 0.01% to 5% by mass, the lightness of spreadability and quick absorption are good. Stickiness can also be suppressed.

[0035] Furthermore, the ratio of the content of component (a) to the total content of components (b) and (c) [(content of component (a)) / (content of component (b) + content of component (c))] is preferably 1 to 20, more preferably 3 to 18, and even more preferably 5 to 15. When [(content of component (a)) / (content of component (b) + content of component (c)] is within the above range, the product can be easily spread and absorbed quickly, and stickiness is suppressed.

[0036] <(d)Water> In one embodiment, it is preferable that the cosmetic composition further contains water in addition to components (a), (b), and (c) from the viewpoint of the stability of the dosage form of the cosmetic composition.

[0037] There are no particular restrictions on the water content, and it can be appropriately selected depending on the purpose, but it is preferably 20% to 90% by mass, more preferably 30% to 80% by mass, and even more preferably 40% to 70% by mass, relative to the total mass of the cosmetic.

[0113] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below based on the examples, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the examples. Unless otherwise specified, the content of each component shown in Tables 1 and 2 is expressed as "mass %" relative to the total mass of the cosmetic, and all values ​​are converted to pure content.

[0114] [1] Example 1-1 to Example 1-4 Cosmetics Examples 1-1 to 1-4 were prepared by mixing each component according to the composition and content (mass%) shown in Table 1 below. More specifically, a water-soluble component (including component (a)) was dissolved in water to prepare an aqueous phase, while a water-insoluble component (including components (b) and (c)) was mixed to form an oil phase. The oil phase was then added to the aqueous phase and stirred to obtain the oil-in-water lotions Examples 1-1 to 1-4. As shown in Table 1, in Example 1-1, the content of niacinamide (component (a)) was set to 0% by mass, and the content of niacinamide (component (a)) was gradually increased as the example number increased.

[0115] [2] Examples 2-1 to 2-4 Samples 2-1 to 2-4 were prepared by mixing each component according to the composition and content (mass%) shown in Table 2 below. The preparation method was the same as that used in Examples 1-1 to 1-4, however, the activator components in Examples 2-1 to 2-4 differed from those in Examples 1-1 to 1-4, and none of them contained component (b).

[0116] <Rating> For each example of cosmetic product, the following criteria were evaluated: "ease of spreading," "speed of absorption," and "stickiness." For evaluation, approximately 1 mL of each cosmetic product was taken onto the finger and spread in a circular motion on one cheek. "Ease of spreading" was an evaluation of how easily the cosmetic product was spread evenly on the skin during application. "Speed ​​of absorption" was an evaluation of how quickly the cosmetic product was absorbed into the skin during application, that is, the feeling that it penetrated and settled into the skin at an early stage. "Stickiness" was an evaluation of how little stickiness was felt when the skin or fingers touched the skin again after application.

[0117] For each user experience, three expert panelists evaluated the product based on the evaluation criteria below, and the final evaluation was determined through discussion among the three panelists. For all of Examples 1-2 to 1-4 and Examples 2-1 to 2-4, Example 1-1 (without niacinamide) was used as the control. -Evaluation Criteria- ◎: Superior to the control ○: Equivalent to the control △: Slightly inferior to the control group. △△: Inferior to the comparison

[0118] The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2.

[0119] [Table 1]

[0120] [Table 2]

[0121] As shown in Table 2, the cosmetics in Examples 2-1 to 2-4 were formulations that did not contain the combination of component (b) and component (c). Table 2 shows that in formulations that did not contain the combination of component (b) and component (c), the evaluations of "ease of spreading," "speed of absorption," and "stickiness" for the cosmetics in Examples 2-2 to 2-4 that contained niacinamide (component (a)) were all lower compared to Example 2-1, which did not contain niacinamide (component (a)). In particular, for "speed of absorption" and "stickiness," there was a tendency for the evaluation to be lower as the niacinamide content increased.

[0122] On the other hand, as shown in Table 1, the cosmetics in Examples 1-1 to 1-4 were formulations that included a combination of component (b) and component (c). From Table 1, it was found that in formulations including a combination of component (b) and component (c), even when niacinamide (component (a)) was added (Examples 1-1 to 1-4), the evaluations of "ease of spreading," "speed of absorption," and "stickiness" did not decrease compared to the cosmetic without niacinamide (component (a)) (Example 1-1). In particular, it was found that the evaluation of "speed of absorption" was higher when the niacinamide content was higher.
