Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to cosmetics. Specifically, the present invention relates to a cosmetic comprising a pyrimidylpyrazole compound or a salt thereof.

Background Art

[0002] Skin spots, freckles and other pigmentations occur due to abnormal hormones or ultraviolet stimulation, which enhances melanin production in epidermal pigment cells and causes excessive deposition of melanin on the epidermis. For the purpose of preventing or improving such abnormal deposition of melanin pigments, whitening agents are incorporated into cosmetics. Although various components are known as whitening agents incorporated into cosmetics, in recent years, pyrimidylpyrazole compounds are also known as useful whitening agents (for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] Water-in-oil emulsion cosmetics are widely used as a base for external skin preparations including skin cosmetics because of their fresh feeling in use. However, emulsions are inherently unstable and are known to cause phenomena such as creaming, aggregation, or coalescence when left for a long time. In conventional emulsions and creams, carboxyvinyl polymer, which is a general water-soluble thickener, etc. were blended to ensure stability over time. However, when a large amount of water-soluble thickener was blended, it was difficult to eliminate stickiness, elongation weight, stickiness, sagging, etc. at the time of application. Therefore, a cosmetic having no sticky feeling and a fresh and penetrating feeling has been proposed by combining polyoxyethylene fatty acid sorbitan, a specific surfactant, and a higher alcohol (for example, Patent Document 2).
