Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0005] The above-mentioned conventional skin cosmetics are considered to have a certain effect in alleviating the sticky feeling, but they have not fully achieved sufficient moisturizing and fully exerted the effect of alleviating the sticky feeling. In general, as a touch, not only a sticky feeling but also a lack of a squeaking feeling is preferred, but they do not have such an effect. Against this background, there is a great demand for skin cosmetics that have sufficient moisturizing, alleviate the sticky feeling, and improve the squeaking feeling.
[0006] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a skin cosmetic that has sufficient moisturizing feeling, relieves stickiness, and improves a squeaking feeling.

Effects of the Invention
[0011] According to the present invention, a skin cosmetic can be provided that has sufficient moisturizing feeling, relieves stickiness, and improves a squeaking feeling.
Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[0012] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. The skin cosmetic according to this embodiment combines one or more humectants selected from the group consisting of betaine, polyhydric alcohol, sodium hyaluronate, and sodium chondroitin sulfate, a strawberry extract, and a lemon extract.
[0013] <(A) Humectant> (Component (A) is one or more humectants selected from the group consisting of betaine, polyhydric alcohol, sodium hyaluronate, and sodium chondroitin sulfate. Humectants are components commonly used in cosmetics, and moisturization means providing moisture to the skin and maintaining an atmosphere that can prevent transpiration. The polyhydric alcohol used as the humectant is not particularly limited, but preferably selected from diglycerin, polyglycerin, sorbitol, maltitol, dipropylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, and isoprene glycol.
[0014] From the viewpoint of having a sufficient moisturizing effect, betaine is preferable as component (A).
[0015] Although not particularly limited as long as the effects of the present invention are exhibited, 0.01 to 5.0% by mass (hereinafter, % represents % by mass unless otherwise specified) is preferable with respect to the entire skin cosmetic, and more preferably 0.1 to 3.0%. If it is 0.01% or more, a moisturizing effect can be obtained, and if it is 5.0% or less, there will be no feeling of roughness on the skin and a sufficient moisturizing effect can be obtained.
[0016] <(B) Strawberry extract> (Component (B) is a strawberry extract. Strawberry (scientific name: Rubus idaeus) is a genus of the Rosaceae family and is a plant that has been used for food and beverages since ancient times. The strawberry extract contained in the skin cosmetic according to this embodiment can be obtained by extracting from the leaves, fruits, and seeds of strawberries using water, hot water, alcohol, polyol, or a mixed solution thereof, and commercially available products for the purpose of blending into cosmetics can be used.
[0017] In the skin cosmetic according to this embodiment, the component (B) has a moisturizing effect and can greatly reduce the squeaking feeling of the component (A).
[0018] In the skin cosmetic according to this embodiment, the blending amount of the component (B) in the skin cosmetic is preferably 0.0001 to 0.01% in terms of solid content. If the blending amount of the component (B) is 0.0001% or more, the moisturizing effect on the skin and the squeaking feeling of the skin cosmetic can be suppressed. Even if a large amount of the component (A) is blended, the squeaking feeling can be reduced by the component (B). If the blending amount of the component (B) is 0.01% or less, stickiness of the skin cosmetic and coloring due to the extract in the skin cosmetic can be sufficiently suppressed.
[0019] <(C) Lemon extract> (C) component is lemon extract. It is a plant-derived extract, a plant that has been used for food, drinking, and cosmetics for a long time, and is known to contain components having astringent effects such as organic acids such as citric acid. The plant extract having an astringent effect as the component (C) can be obtained by extraction using water, hot water, alcohol, polyol or a mixed solution thereof, and those generally commercially available for the purpose of blending into cosmetics can be used.
[0020] In the skin cosmetic according to this embodiment, the blending amount of the component (C) in the skin cosmetic is preferably 0.0001 to 0.01% in terms of solid content. If the blending amount of the component (C) is 0.0001% or more, it can sufficiently exert the action of tightening the skin and pores and suppressing the stickiness of the skin cosmetic. Even if a large amount of the component (A) is blended, the squeaking feeling can be reduced by the component (C). Also, if the blending amount of the component (C) is 0.01% or less, coloring due to the extract in the skin cosmetic can be sufficiently suppressed.
[0021] <Other components> In addition to the above-described components, the skin cosmetic according to this embodiment may contain other components, such as anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, nonionic surfactants, oils, high molecular compounds, thickeners, powders (dyes, resins, pigments), preservatives, fragrances, humectants, physiologically active ingredients, mineral salts, solvents, antioxidants, chelating agents, pearling agents, neutralizing agents, pH adjusters, plant extracts, enzymes, vitamins, amino acids, etc., as long as the object of the present invention is not impaired.
[0022] Furthermore, in the skin cosmetic according to this embodiment, physiologically active ingredients can be appropriately blended as long as the object of the present invention is not impaired. A physiologically active substance is a substance that imparts some physiological activity to the skin when applied to the skin. Examples include whitening agents, anti-inflammatory agents, anti-aging agents, ultraviolet protectants, astringents, antioxidants, blood circulation promoters, antibacterial agents, bactericides, cooling agents, warming agents, wound healing promoters, irritation relievers, analgesics, cell activators, etc.
[0023] The skin cosmetic according to this embodiment can be manufactured according to a conventional method. Also, the skin cosmetic according to this embodiment can be used, for example, as a lotion, emulsion, cream, essence, gel, sheet mask, makeup, body lotion, body gel, body cream, facial cleanser, facial wash foam, body soap, cleansing agent, makeup base, etc. The dosage form can also be arbitrarily selected according to the purpose. That is, liquid, cream, gel, emulsion, sheet, stick, aerosol, etc. are included. The skin cosmetic according to this embodiment is not limited to general skin cosmetics, but includes quasi-drugs, designated quasi-drugs, external medicines, etc.
[0024] In order to maximize the effect of the skin cosmetic according to this embodiment, it is preferably applied as a sheet pack. By applying it as a sheet pack, a larger amount of the skin cosmetic can be applied to the skin for a longer time, and the moisturizing effect on the skin can be further enhanced.
