Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to an oil-in-water cosmetic composition for eyelashes and eyebrows. [Background technology]
[0002] In the field of eyelash cosmetics, studies have been conducted on cosmetics that can impart curling and volumizing effects to eyelashes, make the eyelashes look beautiful, and maintain the cosmetic effect. For example, Patent Document 1 describes that a composition for keratin fibers containing vegetable butter, an alkaline agent, a wax, and water provides excellent volume-increasing and cosmetic effects to keratin fibers. Patent Document 2 describes that a composition for keratin fibers containing a polyoxyalkylenated wax, an alkaline agent, a fatty acid, and water provides an excellent makeup effect, particularly a lengthening effect, to keratin fibers.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2018-87150 A [Patent Document 2] JP 2018-168100 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] However, conventional eyelash cosmetics have poor adhesion to eyelashes when applied, fail to create bundles of eyelashes, and fail to provide a feeling of length. In addition, when applied in large quantities to eyelashes, clumps tend to form, and the bundles of eyelashes do not separate neatly, resulting in a lack of separation and a feeling of length. Furthermore, there is also the issue of bleeding due to sebum and sweat in daily life. [Means for solving the problem]

EXAMPLES
[0033] Examples 1 to 19, Comparative Examples 1 to 4 Oil-in-water eyelash cosmetics (mascaras) with the compositions shown in Tables 1 and 2 were manufactured and evaluated for adhesion to eyelashes, lack of clumping due to repeated application, feeling of separation, lengthening effect, lack of bleeding over a long period of time, and curl retention 8 hours after application. The results are also shown in Tables 1 and 2.
[0034] (Manufacturing method) The oil phase components including components (A), (C) and (E) were mixed and heated to 90° C. to dissolve and homogenize, thereby obtaining an oil phase. Next, the aqueous phase components including component (B) are heated and dissolved at 90°C, and then the oil phase that has been dissolved in advance is added to this, and emulsified using a homomixer. Then, the mixture is cooled to room temperature while stirring, and (D) and the remaining components are added at 40°C, and the mixture is stirred again. The mixture is then filled into a specified airtight container, and the desired oil-in-water cosmetic for eyelashes (mascara) is obtained.
[0035] (Evaluation method) Twenty female panelists applied each oil-in-water cosmetic product (mascara) to their eyelashes and conducted a sensory evaluation of the adhesion to the eyelashes, lack of clumping when applied multiple times, separation, lengthening effect, lack of bleeding over a long period of time, and curl retention 8 hours after application. The results were shown according to the following criteria. The adhesion to eyelashes was evaluated based on how easily the mascara adhered to the subject's eyelashes when applied once using a brush. The reapplication was evaluated based on the amount of mascara formed on the eyelashes when the first application was spread out up to five times. The feeling of separation was evaluated based on whether or not there were clumps of mascara due to adhesion between eyelashes after application, the lengthening effect was evaluated based on whether or not the subject's eyelashes felt longer after application than before application, the lack of smudging was evaluated based on whether or not smudging occurred due to sweating or sebum around the eyes within 8 hours after application, and the curl retention was evaluated based on how well the angle at which the mascara was applied was maintained.
[0036] (Evaluation Criteria) 5; More than 17 people answered yes. 4;The number of people who answered "good" was between 12 and 16. 3;The number of people who answered "good" was 8 to 11. 2; Fewer than 7 people answered "good."
