Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to compositions, preferably cosmetic compositions, more preferably skin cosmetic compositions, capable of imparting unique appearances and textures. [Background technology]

[0002] Providing texture to keratinous materials such as skin is one of the main features of cosmetics, particularly skin cosmetics.

[0003] In particular, a fresh feel during application due to structural collapse (allowing the liquid to flow when the cosmetic pops, in other words allowing a change in physical properties such as from gel / cream to liquid) and the absence of a sticky feel after application are often required for consumer satisfaction.

[0004] Additionally, the gel, which has a unique sherbet-like appearance, can provide a refreshing visual impression in conjunction with the variable texture and non-sticky skin finish described above. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0023] After extensive investigation, the inventors have discovered that it is possible to provide a composition which can impart a sherbet-like appearance and texture change during application (from a gel / cream texture to a liquid texture) without a sticky feel after application.

[0024] Therefore, one aspect of the present invention is (a) at least one neutralized poly(meth)acrylic acid polymer; (b) at least one organic acid or salt thereof; (c) Water and A composition comprising: (a) A composition, wherein the amount of neutralized poly(meth)acrylic acid polymer is 0.5% by weight or more, based on the total weight of the composition.

[0025] The composition according to the present invention can impart a sherbet-like appearance and texture change (from gel / cream texture to liquid texture) during application, without imparting a sticky feel after application. The term "sticky" as used herein means the property of imparting a sticky feel to the skin. Therefore, the composition according to the present invention can impart both a refreshing visual impression and a refreshing tactile feel. Therefore, the composition according to the present invention can impart a unique appearance and texture.

[0026] The compositions according to the present invention may also provide additional benefits.

[0027] Generally, compositions containing organic acids or their salts may have difficulty in being thickened and may have low viscosity. Therefore, in order to thicken such compositions containing organic acids or their salts, a large amount of thickener tends to be added to the composition.

[0028] However, the use of a large amount of thickener in the composition may negatively affect the change in the texture of the composition or may cause a sticky feel.In addition, when the thickener is a synthetic polymer, the use of a large amount of thickener may cause the formation of noodles after application due to the aggregation of synthetic polymer.

[0029] The composition according to the present invention comprises (b) an organic acid or its salt. Therefore, the composition according to the present invention may comprise a large amount of (a) a neutralized poly(meth)acrylic acid polymer in order to thicken the composition sufficiently. However, even when the composition according to the present invention comprises a large amount of (a) a neutralized poly(meth)acrylic acid polymer, the composition according to the present invention can induce a good texture change and a non-sticky feel after application. In addition, the composition according to the present invention can suppress the formation of noodles after application.

[0030] Furthermore, the compositions according to the invention are stable. They are stable even at elevated temperatures, both immediately after the preparation of the compositions and for a long time after the preparation of the compositions. Thus, the compositions according to the invention are stable over time and can be stored for long periods of time even under hot conditions, for example in summer.

The (primary) particle size can be measured, for example, by extracting and measuring a photographic image obtained by SEM or the like using a particle size analyzer, such as a laser diffraction particle size analyzer. It is preferable to use a particle size analyzer such as a laser diffraction particle size analyzer. In this case, the (primary) particle size is the volume average (primary) particle size.

[0104] It is preferred that the (e) oil-absorbing particles are porous particles, particularly porous spherical particles.

[0105] According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, (e) the oil absorbing particles are 2 / g or more, for example 500m 2 / g or more, e.g. 600m 2 / g or more, and 2 / g or less.

[0108] Inorganic oil-absorbing particles: (e) The oil-absorbing particles may be inorganic.

[0109] The inorganic (e) oil-absorbing particles may have at least one inorganic core and at least one hydrophobic coating.

[0110] The hydrophobic coating can be formed by a hydrophobic treatment agent which can be selected in particular from fatty acids, such as stearic acid; metal soaps, such as aluminum dimyristate, aluminum salts of hydrogenated tallow glutamate; amino acids; N-acyl amino acids or their salts; lecithin, isopropyl triisostearyl titanate, mineral waxes, and mixtures thereof.

[0111] The N-acyl amino acid may contain an acyl group containing 8 to 22 carbon atoms, such as 2-ethylhexanoyl, caproyl, lauroyl, myristoyl, palmitoyl, stearoyl or cocoyl groups. The salts of these compounds may be aluminum, magnesium, calcium, zirconium, zinc, sodium or potassium salts. The amino acid may be, for example, lysine, glutamic acid or alanine.

[0112] The term "alkyl" mentioned in the above compounds denotes in particular alkyl groups containing from 1 to 30 carbon atoms, preferably containing from 5 to 16 carbon atoms.

[0113] It is preferred that the inorganic (e) oil absorbing particles comprise at least one material selected from the group consisting of silica, particularly hydrophobic silica, such as silica silylate, silicates, perlite, boron nitride, magnesium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, kaolin, talc, and mixtures thereof.

[0114] The hydrophobic silica, in particular the silica silylate, may be based on silica aerogel, which is a porous material obtained by replacing the liquid component of silica gel with air (by drying).

[0115] They are generally synthesized via the sol-gel method in a liquid medium and then dried, usually by extraction with a supercritical fluid, the most commonly used being supercritical CO2. This type of drying makes it possible to avoid pore and material shrinkage. The sol-gel method and the various drying operations are described in detail in Brinker CJ and Scherer GW, Sol-Gel Science, New York, Academic Press, 1990.

[0116] Hydrophobic silica aerogel particles are 500~1500m 2 / g, preferably 600 to 1200m 2 / g, more preferably 600 to 800m 2 / g range of specific surface area (SW) per unit of mass, and / or A size expressed as a volume average diameter (D[0.5]) in the range of 1 to 1500 μm, preferably 1 to 1000 μm, more preferably 1 to 100 μm, in particular 1 to 30 μm, even more preferably 5 to 25 μm, even more preferably 5 to 20 μm, and even more preferably 5 to 15 μm. can be presented.

[0118] The specific surface area per mass unit can be determined by the nitrogen absorption method known as the BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) method described in The Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 60, p. 309, February 1938, which corresponds to the international standard ISO 5794 / 1 (Annex D). The BET specific surface area corresponds to the total specific surface area of ​​the particles under consideration.

[0119] The size of silica aerogel particles can be measured by static light scattering using a commercial particle size analyzer, the MasterSizer 2000 model from Malvern. The data are processed based on the Mie scattering theory, which is suitable for isotropic particles and allows the determination of the "effective" particle size in the case of non-spherical particles. This theory is described in detail in the publication "Light Scattering by Small Particles" by Van de Hulst, HC, Chapters 9 and 10, Wiley, New York, 1957.

[0120] According to an advantageous embodiment, the hydrophobic silica aerogel particles have a particle size of 600 to 800 m 2 / g and a size, expressed as volume mean diameter (D[0.5]), ranging from 5 to 20 μm, preferably from 5 to 15 μm.

[0121] The silica aerogel particles are advantageously 0.04 g / cm 3 ~0.10g / cm 3 , preferably 0.05 g / cm 3 ~0.08g / cm 3 The material can exhibit a packing density (r) in the range of

[0122] In the context of the present invention, this density, known as packing density, can be evaluated according to the following protocol: 40g of powder was poured into a graduated cylinder. The graduated cylinder was then placed on a Stampf Volumeter Stav 2003 instrument. The graduated cylinder is then subjected to a series of 2500 filling operations (which are repeated until the volume difference between two successive tests is less than 2%), The final volume of the packed powder Vf is then measured directly in the graduated cylinder. The packing density is determined by the w / Vf ratio (Vf is cm 3 where w is expressed as g.

[0123] According to one embodiment, the hydrophobic silica aerogel particles have a diameter of 5 to 60 μm. 2 / cm 3 , preferably 10 to 50 m 2 / cm 3 , more preferably 15 to 40 m 2 / cm 3 The specific surface area per volume unit SV can be in the range of

[0124] The specific surface area per unit of volume is given by the following equation: S V =S W ×ρ, where ρ is g / cm 3 is the packing density, expressed as S W is defined above as m 2 is the specific surface area per unit of mass expressed as / g.

[0125] The term "hydrophobic silica" is understood to mean any silica whose surface has been treated with a silylating agent, for example a halogenated silane, for example an alkylchlorosilane, a siloxane, in particular a dimethylsiloxane, for example hexamethyldisiloxane, or a silazane, so as to functionalize the OH groups with silyl groups Si-Rn, for example trimethylsilyl groups.

[0126] For the preparation of hydrophobic silica aerogel particles surface-modified by silylation, reference may be made to US Pat. No. 7,470,725.

[0245] [Table 1B]

[0246] [evaluation] (Sherbet-like appearance) Five expert judges visually evaluated the appearance of each of the compositions according to Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3, and graded it according to the following evaluation criteria: Yes: A sherbet-like appearance was observed. None: No sherbet-like appearance was observed

[0247] (Texture change) Five expert judges evaluated the "texture change" in the early stage of application during application of the compositions according to Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3. Each judge took each composition on his / her hand, then applied it to his / her face, evaluated the texture change in the early stage of application, graded it from 1 (bad) to 5 (very good), and then classified it into the following four categories based on the average of the grades: Very good: 5.0-4.0 (a clear change in texture (from gel to liquid) was felt in the early stages of application) Good: 3.9~3.0 (I noticed a change in texture in the early stages of application) Poor: 2.9-2.0 (almost no change in texture was felt in the early stages of application) Very poor: 1.9-1.0 (no change in texture was felt at the beginning of application)

[0248] The results are shown in Table 1.

[0249] (Non-sticky feel) Five expert judges evaluated the "non-sticky feel" after application of the compositions according to Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3. Each judge took each composition in their hands, then applied it to their face to evaluate the non-sticky feel after application, grading it from 1 (bad) to 5 (very good), and then classified it into the following four categories based on the average of the grades: Very good: 5.0-4.0 (did not feel sticky at all after application) Good: 3.9-3.0 (almost no stickiness felt after application) Poor: 2.9-2.0 (Feels sticky after application) Very poor: 1.9-1.0 (obviously sticky after application)

[0250] The results are shown in Table 1.

[0251] (Noodle formation) Five expert judges evaluated the "noodle formation" after application of the compositions according to Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3. Each judge took each composition in their hands, then applied it to their face to evaluate the noodle formation after application, grading it from 1 (poor) to 5 (very good), and then classified it into the following four categories based on the average of the grades: Very good: 5.0-4.0 (no noodles observed) Good: 3.9-3.0 (a slight noodle formation occurred, but it was not noticeable during normal use) Poor: 2.9~2.0 (small noodle-like particles were observed and were perceptible) Very poor: 1.9 to 1.0 (large noodles were observed and were perceptible)

[0252] (temperature stability) Each of the compositions according to Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 was filled into a glass bottle and kept for two months at a temperature of 45° C. Then, each sample was inspected for the degree of change (appearance, odor and color) and evaluated according to the following criteria: Very Good: Almost as good as when manufactured. Good: Slight changes in appearance, odor or color were observed. Poor: Changes in appearance, odor, or color were clearly observed. Changes in appearance (e.g., phase separation and creaming), bad odor, or color changes (e.g., yellowing and browning) were clearly observed. Very Poor: Noticeable changes in appearance, odor, or color were noticed. Noticeable changes in appearance (e.g., phase separation and creaming), bad odor, or color changes (e.g., yellowing and browning) were observed.

[0253] The results are shown in Table 1.

[0254] (viscosity) The viscosity of each of the compositions according to Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 was measured using a Brookfield viscometer (rotor: No. 4, rotation speed: 6 rpm, measurement time: 1 minute).

[0255] The results are shown in Table 1.

[0256] (overview) The compositions according to Examples 1-6 exhibited a sherbet-like appearance and texture change during application (from a gel / cream texture to a liquid texture) and did not exhibit a sticky feel after application.

[0257] The compositions according to Examples 1-6 were also stable and were able to inhibit the formation of noodles.

[0258] Comparing Example 1 and Example 2 clearly shows that the addition of oil absorbing particles (silica silylate) further improved the sticky feel.

[0259] Comparative Example 1 shows that without any thickener, it was not possible to increase the viscosity of the composition according to Comparative Example 1. In addition, the composition according to Comparative Example 1 was unstable and failed to show any sherbet-like appearance, texture change, or good non-sticky feel.

[0260] Comparative Example 2 shows that the use of non-neutralized poly(meth)acrylic acid polymers failed to impart any sherbet-like appearance, good texture change, or non-sticky feel. In addition, the composition according to Comparative Example 2 failed to suppress noodle formation.

[0261] Comparative Example 3 shows that using a very small amount (0.3% by weight) of neutralized polymethacrylic acid polymer was insufficient to increase the viscosity of the composition according to Comparative Example 3 and was insufficient to impart a sherbet-like appearance, good texture change, or good non-sticky feel to the composition. In addition, the composition according to Comparative Example 3 was not stable.
