Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present specification relates to a skin external application composition for reducing skin wrinkles containing polyvinyl alcohol, and discloses a skin external application composition containing high-molecular-weight polyvinyl alcohol that can shrink the skin and reduce wrinkles. Background Art

[0002] Wrinkles are the most prominent visual hallmark of skin aging, caused by internal factors such as aging and stress, or external environmental factors such as air pollution and UV exposure. Wrinkles are commonly seen on the face, such as the forehead, around the eyes, between the brows, and around the mouth, as well as on various parts of the body, including the neck, décolletage, elbows, underarms, hands, and feet. Most people begin to develop wrinkles around age 30, and their number, depth, and extent gradually increase with age. The primary cause of these wrinkles is believed to be the reactive oxygen species generated in skin tissue during skin aging, which ultimately cross-link the collagen and elastic fibers that make up the majority of the dermis, altering their formation and breakdown.

[0003] To date, antioxidants or free radical scavengers such as vitamin E, β-carotene, vitamin C, and glutathione, used to inhibit skin aging, as well as substances such as vitamin A that promote dermal collagen synthesis, have been used to improve skin wrinkles. However, most of these cosmetic active ingredients are highly irritating to the skin or inherently unstable within the dosage form, resulting in discoloration, odor, and precipitation, thus reducing the inherent activity of the raw materials.

[0004] While polyvinyl alcohol is widely known as a film-forming agent, low-molecular-weight polyvinyl alcohol is primarily used. Even when mixed with high-molecular-weight polyvinyl alcohol, it is often used in cosmetics such as facial masks to form a film, or solely for the purpose of forming a moisturizing film. This makes it difficult to achieve a sustained wrinkle-improving effect. Furthermore, existing film-forming agents are primarily designed to form thin films, which are insufficient to provide a skin-tightening effect to improve wrinkles. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Technical issues

[0006] One aspect of the present disclosure is to provide a composition that, when applied to the skin, can continuously contract the skin to reduce skin wrinkles.

[0009] Effects of the Invention

[0010] In one aspect, the composition according to the present disclosure includes high molecular weight polyvinyl alcohol, thereby being able to continuously contract the skin to reduce skin wrinkles.

[0018] In another exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, a non-therapeutic use of a composition for reducing skin wrinkles, the composition comprising polyvinyl alcohol having a number average molecular weight of 30,000 or more and a water-soluble thickener is provided.

[0019] In yet another exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, a composition for reducing skin wrinkles is provided, the composition comprising polyvinyl alcohol having a number average molecular weight of 30,000 or more and a water-soluble thickener.

[0020] According to the present disclosure, in order to form a coating film having a sustained wrinkle-shrinking effect, a mixture of polyvinyl alcohol having a high molecular weight of 30,000 or more and a water-soluble thickener is included, so that the force of tightening the skin is suitable for reducing wrinkles.

[0021] In one embodiment, the skin wrinkle-reducing external application composition can be applied to subjects with reduced skin elasticity.

[0022] In one embodiment, the wrinkle-reducing external skin preparation composition can be applied to subjects with wrinkles on the face, such as the forehead, around the eyes, between the eyebrows, around the mouth (nasolabial folds), or on the neck, neck circumference, elbows, armpits, hands, and feet.

[0023] In one embodiment, the skin external application composition is a general term for any dosage form that can be applied to the outside of the skin, and includes cosmetic compositions of various dosage forms.

[0024] In one embodiment, the composition can be applied to the skin and then dried to shrink the skin.

[0025] In one implementation example, the number average molecular weight of the polyvinyl alcohol may be less than 200,000.

[0026] For example, the number average molecular weight of the polyvinyl alcohol may be 30,000 or more, 40,000 or more, 50,000 or more, 60,000 or more, 70,000 or more, 80,000 or more, 90,000 or more, 100,000 or more, 110,000 or more, 120,000 or more, 130,000 or more, 140,000 or more, 150,000 or more, 160,000 or more, 170,000 or more, 180,000 or more, or 190,000 or more.

[0027] In one implementation example, the water-soluble thickener may include one or more selected from the group consisting of natural gums, cellulose, starch-derived thickeners, acrylate polymers, PEG polymers, and PPG polymers.

[0028] In one embodiment, the water-soluble thickener may include carrageenan, xanthan gum, cassia gum, gellan gum, locust bean gum, agar, algin, guar gum, pectin, glucomannan, cellulose gum, tamarindus indica seed gum, microcrystalline cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, corn starch, rice starch, sodium polyacrylate grafted starch, hydrogenated starch, carbomer, polyacrylic acid, ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate / VP copolymer, hydroxyethyl acrylate / sodium acryloyldimethyltaurate copolymer. At least one selected from the group consisting of: COPOLYMER, POLYACRYLATE-13, Acrylates / C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, PPG-17 / IPDI / DMPA Copolymer, Acrylates / Beheneth 25 Methacrylate Copolymer, and PEG 240 / HDI copolymer Bisdecyltetradeceth 20 ether.

[0029] In one embodiment, the polyvinyl alcohol may be contained in an amount of 1 to 20 wt % based on the total weight of the composition.

[0030] For example, the polyvinyl alcohol may be present in an amount of 1% by weight or more, 3% by weight or more, 5% by weight or more, 7% by weight or more, 9% by weight or more, 11% by weight or more, 13% by weight or more, 15% by weight or more, 17% by weight or more, or 19% by weight or less, based on the total weight of the composition, or in an amount of 20% by weight or less, 18% by weight or less, 16% by weight or less, 14% by weight or less, 12% by weight or less, 10% by weight or less, 8% by weight or less, 6% by weight or less, 4% by weight or less, or 2% by weight or less.

[0031] In one embodiment, the water-soluble thickener may be contained in an amount of 0.1 to 5 wt % based on the total weight of the composition.

[0032] For example, the water-soluble thickener may be contained in an amount of 0.1% by weight or more, 0.5% by weight or more, 1% by weight or more, 1.5% by weight or more, 2% by weight or more, 2.5% by weight or more, 3% by weight or more, 3.5% by weight or more, 4% by weight or more, or 4.5% by weight or more, based on the total weight of the composition; or may be contained in an amount of less than 5% by weight, less than 4.5% by weight, less than 4% by weight, less than 3.5% by weight, less than 3% by weight, less than 2.5% by weight, less than 2% by weight, less than 1.5% by weight, less than 1% by weight, or less than 0.5% by weight.

[0033] In one implementation example, the weight ratio of the polyvinyl alcohol to the water-soluble thickener may be 1:0.01 to 0.6.

[0034] For example, the weight ratio of the polyvinyl alcohol to the water-soluble thickener can be 1:0.01 or more, 1:0.05 or more, 1:0.1 or more, 1:0.15 or more, 1:0.2 or more, 1:0.25 or more, 1:0.3 or more, 1:0.35 or more, 1:0.4 or more, 1:0.45 or more, 1:0.5 or more, or 1:0.55 or less, and can be 1:0.6 or less, 1:0.55 or less, 1:0.5 or less, 1:0.45 or less, 1:0.4 or less, 1:0.35 or less, 1:0.3 or less, 1:0.25 or less, 1:0.2 or less, 1:0.15 or less, 1:0.1 or less, or 1:0.05 or less.

[0035] If the weight ratio is too low, the shrinkage force of the film may be reduced, and if the weight ratio is too high, a gel having high hardness may be formed, resulting in reduced skin application and spreadability.

[0036] In one embodiment, the composition can be applied to the skin at a thickness of 0.1 to 2 mm.

[0037] For example, the thickness can be greater than 0.1 mm, greater than 0.3 mm, greater than 0.5 mm, greater than 0.7 mm, greater than 0.9 mm, greater than 1.1 mm, greater than 1.3 mm, greater than 1.5 mm, greater than 1.7 mm or greater than 1.9 mm, and can be less than 2 mm, less than 1.8 mm, less than 1.6 mm, less than 1.4 mm, less than 1.2 mm, less than 1 mm, less than 0.8 mm, less than 0.6 mm, less than 0.4 mm or less than 0.2 mm.

[0038] Depending on the thickness or application amount, the contraction force may vary. For example, if the application amount is too low, resulting in a thin thickness, the film-forming ability is reduced and the contraction force may decrease. If the application amount is too high, resulting in a thick thickness, the skin spreadability will deteriorate and the application will not be uniform, resulting in the inability to achieve uniform contraction force across the entire applied skin, which may reduce the wrinkle improvement ability.

[0039] In one embodiment, the thickness of the composition after drying may be 10 to 25% of the thickness of the composition immediately after being applied to the skin.

[0040] For example, the thickness of the composition after drying may be 10% or more, 12% or more, 14% or more, 16% or more, 18% or more, 20% or more, 22% or more, or 24% or less, or 25% or less, 23% or less, 21% or less, 19% or less, 17% or less, 15% or less, 13% or less, or 11% or less relative to the thickness of the composition immediately after application to the skin.

[0041] In one embodiment, the composition can continuously shrink the skin for more than 1 hour.

[0042] In one embodiment, the composition can dry to a moisture content of less than 3% within 15 minutes after being applied to the skin.

[0043] In one embodiment, the composition can be used for a period of 15 minutes to 24 hours.

[0044] For example, the usage time of the composition, which is the sum of the time required to dry the composition and the time for the skin to shrink, can be 15 minutes or more, 30 minutes or more, 1 hour or more, 2 hours or more, 3 hours or more, 4 hours or more, 5 hours or more, 6 hours or more, 7 hours or more, 8 hours or more, 9 hours or more, 10 hours or more, 11 hours or more, 12 hours or more, 13 hours or more, 14 hours or more, 15 hours or more, 16 hours or more, 17 hours or more, 18 hours or more, 19 hours or more, 20 hours or more, 21 hours or more, 22 hours or more, 23 hours or more, 24 hours or more, 25 hours or more, 26 hours or more, 27 hours or more, 28 hours or more, 29 hours or more, 30 hours or more, 31 hours or more, 32 hours or more, 33 hours or more, 34 hours or more, 35 hours or more, 36 hours or more, 37 hours or more, 38 hours or more, 39 hours or more, 40 hours or more, 41 hours or more, 42 hours or more, 43 hours or more, 44 hours or more, 45 hours or more, 46 hours or more, 47 hours or more, 48 hours or more, 49 hours or more, 50 hours or more, 51 hours or more, 52 hours or more, 53 hours or more, 54 hours or more, 55 hours or more, 56 hours or more, 57 hours or more, 58 hours or more, 59 hours or more, 60 hours or more, 61 hours or more, 62 hours or more, 63 hours or more, 64 hours or more, 65 hours or more, 66 hours or more, 67 hours or more, 68 hours The time period may be more than 1 hour, more than 22 hours or more than 23 hours, and may be less than 24 hours, less than 23 hours, less than 22 hours, less than 21 hours, less than 20 hours, less than 19 hours, less than 18 hours, less than 17 hours, less than 16 hours, less than 15 hours, less than 14 hours, less than 13 hours, less than 12 hours, less than 11 hours, less than 10 hours, less than 9 hours, less than 8 hours, less than 7 hours, less than 6 hours, less than 5 hours, less than 4 hours, less than 3 hours, less than 2 hours, less than 1 hour or less than 30 minutes.

[0056] Example

[0057] Preparation of composition for reducing skin wrinkles

[0058] As shown in Tables 1 and 2 below, compositions comprising PVA having various molecular weights, water, polyvinyl alcohol, and carbomer were prepared, coated on PET films, dried, and the film bending angle (shrinkage force) was measured. Compositions No. 7 and No. 10 could not be prepared due to their high viscosity and are therefore marked with an X.

[0064]

[0065] Test example

[0066] Test Example 1-Tension

[0067] To 46.75cm 2 About 2.7 g of the composition prepared in Example 1 was applied to a transparent PET film (8.5 cm × 5.5 cm). 2 The film was coated with a concentration of about 0.1-2 mm (about 0.1-2 mm thick) on a transparent PET film. After sufficient drying, the degree of film curvature (angle) was measured.

[0068] The observation results confirmed that at room temperature, the degree of curvature was about 22 degrees in the case of composition No. 3 in the example containing high molecular weight PVA (molecular weight ~123000) (8.5wt%), and the degree of curvature was about 15.5 degrees in the case of composition No. 1 in the comparative example containing low molecular weight PVA205 (molecular weight ~25000) (8.5wt%) (refer to Tables 1 and 2).

[0069] Furthermore, in the case of composition No. 2 containing medium-molecular weight PVA217 (molecular weight - 83,000), it was confirmed that the degree of curvature was approximately 18 degrees (see Tables 1 and 2).

[0070] Test Example 2-Sustained Effect of Contraction Force

[0071] After the experiment of Test Example 1 was completed, the samples were stored under refrigeration conditions (4° C.) for 24 hours, and the degree of retention of the contraction force after 24 hours was checked.

[0072] The observation results confirmed that in composition No. 3 containing high-molecular-weight PVA (molecular weight ~123000) (8.5wt%) in the embodiment, the degree of bending was reduced from about 22 degrees to about 14 degrees. When low-molecular-weight PVA was used, the shrinkage force was almost non-existent or weak.

[0073] In addition, in composition No. 2 containing medium-molecular weight PVA217 (molecular weight -83000), the degree of curvature was 5.5 degrees, and it was judged to be in a state where it could adhere to the skin.

[0074] Therefore, it was confirmed that the optimal shrinkage force (wrinkle improvement) and manufacturing convenience are exhibited only when PVA having an appropriate level of molecular weight is used.

[0075] Test Example 3 - Skin wrinkle improvement effect

[0076] About 2.7 g of the composition No. 3 prepared in Example 3 was placed at 46.75 cm 2 Apply the composition to the skin of a man or woman in his 40s at an area of ​​8.5 cm x 5.5 cm. 2 Apply to the skin (nasolabial folds around the mouth and neck wrinkles) at a concentration of 100g.

[0077] After applying the composition for 1 hour, the composition was removed and then the improvement effect of nasolabial folds and neck wrinkles was measured. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , it can be confirmed that the deeper nasolabial folds have become lighter visibly. Figure 3 and Figure 4 , it can be confirmed that the number of neck wrinkles has decreased.
