Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a composition, preferably a cosmetic composition, more preferably a skin cosmetic composition, which is stable and capable of providing texture transformation and non-stickiness. [Background technology]

[0002] Providing a pleasant texture to the skin is one of the important features of cosmetics, particularly skin care cosmetics.

[0003] In particular, texture transformation (e.g., change in texture from gel or cream to liquid, corresponding to a change in the physical properties of the composition, such as the breakdown of the composition's structure that may allow liquid to flow out of the composition) that can provide a refresh feel at the initial stage of application and a non-sticky or less sticky feel after application remains needed for customer satisfaction during use.

[0004] It should be noted that compositions that are unstable and whose structure easily collapses often provide a comfortable feeling during use, which means that it is difficult to provide both comfort during use and good stability at the same time.

[0005] So far, some techniques have been reported for gel-like compositions or emulsions that provide improved texture and stability. For example, WO2022 / 124385 discloses a stable composition that can provide texture transformation. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0025] After extensive investigation, the present inventors have discovered a novel approach to provide a stable composition that can provide a non-sticky or less sticky feel after application, in addition to texture transformation during application.

[0026] Thus, one aspect of the present invention is (a) at least one cellulose particle; (b) at least one associative polymer comprising one or more acrylic and / or methacrylic units, and (c) water A composition comprising:

[0027] The compositions according to the present invention are stable and can provide a texture transformation during application as well as a non-sticky or less sticky feel after application.

[0028] The composition according to the present invention is stable immediately after preparation of the composition and for a long time after preparation of the composition even under temperature changes from cold to hot. Therefore, the composition according to the present invention is stable over time and can be stored for a long period of time even under temperature changes that occur from winter to summer.

[0029] The compositions according to the present invention can provide a non-sticky or less sticky feel after application.

[0030] The term "sticky" is used herein to mean the property of imparting a sticky feeling to the skin.

[0031] The composition according to the invention can provide a texture transformation during application, preferably at the initial stage of application.Texture transformation means herein a change in texture from gel or cream to liquid, which corresponds to a change in the physical properties of the composition, such as, for example, the breakdown of the composition's structure, which can allow liquid to flow out of the composition.Texture transformation can provide a refreshing sensation.

[0032] Thus, the composition according to the invention is able to provide an excellent sensory sensation, especially on the skin, during and after application of the composition.

[0033] The composition according to the present invention will be described in more detail below.

[0034] [Cellulose particles] The composition according to the invention comprises (a) at least one type of cellulose particles having specific properties. When two or more types of cellulose particles are used, they may be the same or different.

[0035] (a) The particle size of the cellulose particles corresponds to the primary particle size. In addition, particle size herein means the average or mean particle size, which may be the volume-average particle size, which can be determined, for example, by a laser diffraction particle size analyzer.

[0042] As used herein, the term "wetting point of oil" refers to the quantity or amount of oil required to completely wet a target powder, particularly as can be appreciated by the formation of a paste with the target powder.

[0043] The wetting point of an oil can be determined by the following protocol. (1) 2 g of the target powder is kneaded on a glass plate using a spatula while adding oil, particularly a linear ester oil, such as isononyl isononanoate (WICKENOL 151 / ALZO). (2) Once the target powder is completely wetted and begins to form a paste, the mass of oil added is determined as the mass at the wetting point. (3) Calculate the oil wet point using the following formula: Oil wet point (ml / 100 g) = {(mass at wet point) / 2 g} x 100 / oil density.

[0044] Similarly, the term "wetting point of water" as used herein means the quantity or amount of water required to completely wet a target powder, particularly as can be appreciated by the formation of a paste with the target powder.

[0045] The water wetting point can be determined by the following protocol. (1) 2 g of the target powder is kneaded on a glass plate using a spatula while adding water having a density of 0.998 g / ml. (2) Once the target powder is completely wetted and begins to form a paste, the mass of water added is determined as the mass at the wetting point. (3) Calculate the wetting point of water from the following formula: Wetting point of water (ml / 100 g) = {(mass at wetting point) / 2 g} x 100 / density of water.

[0050] (a) Cellulose particles, preferably spherical cellulose particles, can be prepared, for example, as follows. (1) A slurry of calcium carbonate as a coagulation inhibitor is added to an alkaline aqueous solution of a water-soluble anionic polymer and stirred. (2) Viscose is mixed with the aqueous solution obtained in (1) above to form a dispersion of viscose microparticles. (3) The dispersion of viscose microparticles obtained in (2) above is heated to aggregate the viscose in the dispersion, and neutralized with an acid to form cellulose microparticles. (4) The cellulose microparticles are separated from the mother liquor obtained in (3) above, and are washed and dried as necessary.

[0051] Viscose is a raw material for cellulose. It is preferable to use viscose having a gamma value of 30 to 100% by mass and an alkali concentration of 4 to 10% by mass.

(1) mixing the ingredients in column A of Table 1 at 75-80°C to form a homogeneous mixture of phase A; (2) adding the ingredients of column B of Table 1 to the mixture of phase A, followed by homogenization thereof to obtain a homogenous mixture (phase A and phase B); (3) adding the ingredients in column C of Table 1 to the mixture of phases A and B, followed by homogenization to obtain a uniform mixture (phases A, B, and C), and cooling the mixture to room temperature (25° C.); and (4) Adding the ingredients from column D of Table 1 to the mixture of phases A, B, and C, followed by homogenization to obtain a uniform mixture (phases A, B, C, and D).

[0215] All of the component amounts shown in Table 1 are based on "mass %" of the raw materials.

[0216] [Table 1A]

[0217] [Table 1B]

[0218] The properties of component (a) (cellulose particles) in Table 1 are shown in Table 2.

[0219] [Table 2]

[0220] (Oil Wetting Point) The wetting point of the oil was determined by the following protocol. (1) 2 g of the powdered component was kneaded on a glass plate using a spatula while adding isononyl isononanoate having a viscosity of 9 cP and a density of 0.853 g / ml at 25° C. (2) Once the powdered ingredients were completely wetted and started to form a paste, the mass of oil added was determined as the mass at the wetting point. (3) The wetting point of the oil was calculated from the following formula: Wetting point of oil (ml / 100 g) = {(mass at the wetting point) / 2 g} × 100 / density of oil.

[0221] (Wetting point of water) The water wetting point was determined by the following protocol. (1) 2 g of powdered ingredients were kneaded on a glass plate using a spatula while adding water having a density of 0.998 g / ml. (2) Once the powdered ingredients were completely wetted and started to form a paste, the mass of water added was determined as the mass at the wetting point. (3) The wetting point of water was calculated from the following formula: Wetting point of water (ml / 100 g) = {(mass at wetting point) / 2 g} x 100 / density of water.

[0222] [evaluation] (viscosity) The viscosity of each of the compositions of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 was measured at room temperature (25° C.) using a Brookfield viscometer under the conditions of a rotor No. 4, a rotation speed of 6 rpm, and a measurement time of 1 minute.

[0224] (Texture conversion) Five expert judges evaluated the "texture transformation" during application of the compositions according to Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-6. Each judge took each composition and applied it in a circular pattern on his or her face. The judges evaluated when the texture transformation (from gel to liquid) occurred, grading it from 1 (poor) to 5 (very good), and then classified it into the following four categories based on the average of the scores: Very good: 5.0~4.0 (texture transformation is clearly felt at the early stage of application) Good: 3.9-3.0 (texture transformation is noticeable at the early stages of application) Poor: 2.9~2.0 (texture transformation is difficult to feel at the initial stage of application) Very poor: 1.9-1.0 (no texture transformation felt at the beginning of application)

[0225] The results are shown in Table 1.

[0226] (Non-sticky feel) Five expert judges evaluated the "non-sticky feel" after application of the compositions according to Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6.
