Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a hair cosmetic composition, and more particularly to a hair cosmetic composition using a mixture of two or more agents that form different emulsified states, that is, an oil-in-water type and a water-in-oil type. [Background technology]

[0002] The following Patent Documents 1 to 3 are known as hair cosmetic compositions that use a mixture of two agents that form different emulsified states, that is, an oil-in-water type and a water-in-oil type. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 09-002924 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 10-067624 [Patent Document 3] JP 2019-167337 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The emulsion state of a hair cosmetic can be selected from various viewpoints at the design stage. For example, an oil-in-water type (hereinafter also simply referred to as "O / W type") is likely to be selected for an agent that prioritizes a moisturizing feel when it comes into contact with the skin. On the other hand, a water-in-oil type (hereinafter also simply referred to as "W / O type") is likely to be selected for an agent that prioritizes an oily and thick feel when it comes into contact with the skin. Furthermore, the W / O type is likely to be selected when the gloss of the agent itself and the hair after dyeing is prioritized. In addition, as described in Patent Documents 1 to 3 above, from the viewpoints of oxidation inhibition, container protection, odor inhibition, and skin irritation inhibition, the W / O type, which can make the oil phase the external phase, is likely to be selected. In this way, the emulsion state can be selected based on the priority of the agent, and for example, in a hair cosmetic composed of multiple agents such as a hair dye or bleach, agents in different emulsion states can be used in combination.

[0005] In addition, in hair cosmetic compositions using different emulsified agents, it may be necessary to control the properties of each agent after mixing. That is, in the case of hair dyes, bleaches, etc., the mixed agent may be applied to hair and left to stand for a certain period of time to ensure that the agent acts on the hair. In such cases, it is preferable that the applied mixed agent has a suitable viscosity so that it does not drip from the hair. However, when an O / W type agent and a W / O type agent are mixed, the viscosity of the mixed agent tends to decrease, and there is a problem that it is difficult to obtain a mixed agent with a desired viscosity. On the other hand, when trying to increase the viscosity of the resulting mixed agent, a problem regarding mixability may become apparent, in that it becomes difficult to obtain a uniform mixed agent. That is, a problem regarding mixability is that lumps are generated, such as one type of agent becoming a lump or multiple types of agents becoming a lump during mixing. Furthermore, when solving this problem, there is a problem that the effect of the hair cosmetic agent on the feel of the hair must be considered. On the other hand, when trying to increase the viscosity of the resulting mixture, a problem with mixability may become apparent, in that it becomes difficult to obtain a uniform mixture. That is, the problem with mixability is that lumps are generated when one of the agents becomes a mass or multiple agents become a mass during mixing. Furthermore, when solving this problem, there is a challenge in that the effect of the feel of the hair cosmetic agent on the hair must also be taken into consideration.

[0006] In this regard, the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 states that the main ingredient will oxidize and deteriorate when exposed to air (

[0005] ), that the container will discolor and corrode and deform when exposed to an alkaline agent (

[0006] ), that the alkaline agent will volatilize and produce an unpleasant odor (

[0006] ), and that the fragrance will be contained in the oil phase, making it difficult to obtain a fragrant aroma (

[0007] ).

[0007] ) has been disclosed, which is characterized by comprising a first agent which is a W / O type emulsion containing a main agent in the aqueous phase, and a second agent which, when mixed with the first agent, causes the first agent to be converted into an O / W type emulsion and / or causes demulsification of the first agent (Claim 1).

[0007] Furthermore, the above-mentioned Patent Document 2 discloses a hair treatment emulsion (claim 1) for the purpose of solving problems such as the difficulty of maintaining an appropriate viscosity that prevents dripping from the hair when a large amount of surfactant is used to improve the stability of a W / O emulsion (

[0005] ), and the difficulty of increasing the hair dyeing power of many W / O emulsions (

[0005] ). The emulsion is characterized by comprising a first agent of a W / O emulsion that contains a main agent in the aqueous phase and an oil-soluble polymer compound in the oil phase, and a second agent that, when mixed with the first agent, inverts the phase of the first agent into an O / W emulsion and / or destroys the emulsification of the first agent.

[0008] Furthermore, the above-mentioned Patent Document 3 discloses a two-component oxidative hair dye or bleach composition (claim 1) that is composed of a first agent containing an alkaline agent and a second agent containing an oxidizing agent, with the aim of providing a two-component oxidative hair dye or bleach composition that can provide sufficient hair dyeing or bleaching properties and reduce skin irritation (

[0014] ), and in which one of the first and second agents is an oil-in-water (O / W) emulsion and the other is a water-in-oil (W / O) emulsion.

[0009] However, the above Patent Documents 1 and 3 do not mention or suggest any focus on or methods for viscosity control when mixing an O / W type agent with a W / O type agent. Furthermore, although the above Patent Document 2 identifies preventing dripping from hair as one of its problems, it provides a solution in a composition with a limited amount of surfactant, as described in

[0004] , "if a large amount of surfactant is used to improve the stability of the emulsion, it becomes difficult to maintain an appropriate viscosity that does not drip from the hair when mixed with the second agent," but does not provide a solution when a surfactant is used. In this regard, in compositions in which a combination of an aqueous component and an oil-based component is essential, currently, a surfactant is naturally blended, but when an attempt is made to obtain good mixability by blending a surfactant, the formulation stability may decrease. For this reason, there is a demand for hair cosmetics that combine an O / W type agent and a W / O type agent, which can suppress dripping, while also providing good mixability and a good feel on the hair after application.

[0010] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a hair cosmetic composition that combines an O / W type agent and a W / O type agent, which, when a mixed agent obtained by mixing a first agent and a second agent is applied to hair, prevents the mixed agent from dripping from the hair, while simultaneously achieving good mixability (preventing clumping when mixed) and a good feel on the hair after application.

[0012] According to the hair cosmetic composition of the present invention, when an O / W type agent and a W / O type agent are used in combination and the hair cosmetic composition obtained by mixing these agents is applied to hair, the hair cosmetic composition is prevented from dripping from the hair, while achieving both good mixability (prevention of clumping when mixed) and a good feel on the hair after application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0013] The present invention will be described in detail below. Unless otherwise specified, "%" means "% by mass", "parts" means "parts by mass", and "X to Y" means "X or more and Y or less". In addition, for some compound names, names based on the Japan Cosmetic Industry Association's Ingredient Labeling Name List or INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients) names will be used. Furthermore, in the names of some compounds, polyoxyalkylene chains may be abbreviated as "POE" for polyoxyethylene chains and "POP" for polyoxypropylene chains. The numbers in parentheses following these abbreviations indicate the number of moles added. Furthermore, (meth)acrylic acid refers to acrylic acid or methacrylic acid.

[0014] [1] Hair cosmetics The hair cosmetic composition of the present invention is a hair cosmetic composition in which a first agent and a second agent are mixed together, When the entire first agent is taken as 100 mass%, (A 1 ) containing 1.5% by mass or more of a surfactant and forming an oil-in-water (O / W) emulsion; The second agent is (B 2 ) It is characterized by containing an oily component and forming a water-in-oil (W / O) emulsion state.

[0015] The first agent is in an oil-in-water (O / W) emulsion state. The oil-in-water (O / W) emulsion state is an emulsion state in which the aqueous component forms a continuous phase and the oil component is dispersed in the continuous phase. In other words, it can be said that the aqueous component forms an outer phase and the oil component forms an inner phase. The O / W emulsion state may be determined in any manner, but for example, when the agent is dropped into water and stirred (lightly stirred), if the agent is dispersed in the water, it can be determined that the agent is in an O / W emulsion state.

[0016] The second agent is in a water-in-oil (W / O) emulsion state. A water-in-oil (W / O) emulsion is an emulsion state in which an oil-based component forms a continuous phase and an aqueous component is dispersed within the continuous phase. In other words, it can be said that the emulsion state is one in which an outer phase is formed by the oil-based component and an inner phase is formed by the aqueous component. The W / O emulsion state may be determined in any manner, but for example, when an agent is dropped into water and stirred (lightly stirred), if the agent is not dispersed in the water and is maintained, it can be determined that the agent is in a W / O emulsion state.

[0017] The hair cosmetic agent is used by mixing the first agent and the second agent. The emulsified state of the mixed agent (hair cosmetic agent after mixing) obtained by mixing the first agent and the second agent is not limited, and may be an O / W type emulsified state or a W / O type emulsified state. Among these, for example, when the hair cosmetic agent is an oxidative hair dye agent, a bleaching agent, a decolorizing agent, or a decolorizing and decolorizing agent, it is preferable that it is an O / W type emulsified state. This is because the external phase is aqueous, which allows the active ingredient to easily penetrate the hair and work effectively. In addition, there is also the advantage that it is easy to wash off.

[0018] [2] First agent The first agent contains a surfactant (A 1 ) at least 1.5 mass%.
