[0013] Bacitracin is one of the beauty ingredients that can be extracted from plants and is known as a component that can obtain the same effects as retinol. As a result of the intensive research by the present inventors, surprisingly, in the composition of the present invention, by using the oil-soluble chamomile extract and bacitracin in combination, compared with the composition when bacitracin is not used, the moistening property is improved and the stickiness is also improved.

[0014] 〈Oil-soluble Chamomile Extract〉 The composition of the present invention contains an oil-soluble chamomile extract. The oil-soluble chamomile extract may be blended as one of the oil-phase components in the composition of the present invention.

[0015] Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) is a plant of the Asteraceae family and can be roughly classified into two types: German and Roman.

[0016] The oil-soluble chamomile extract can be obtained by extracting chamomile flowers with an organic solvent or the like. Here, the organic solvent used for extraction is not particularly limited. For example, an organic solvent having a solubility parameter (SP value) in the range of 15 to 21 can be used. More specifically, the organic solvent for extraction may contain at least one selected from the group consisting of isopropyl myristate (SP value 17.0), neopentyl glycol dicaprate (SP value 17.7), liquid paraffin (SP value 16.4), and squalane (SP value 16.2). Further, the organic solvent for extraction may contain at least one selected from the group consisting of castor oil, persic oil, soybean oil, and sunflower oil. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the oil-soluble chamomile extract can be obtained by extracting chamomile flowers with squalane.

[0017] Note that the above SP value refers to a measure of the compatibility between substances and can be obtained from the Hansen solubility parameter (HSP).

[0018] The oil-soluble chamomile extract can be produced, for example, by pulverizing dried chamomile flowers and then adding an organic solvent for extraction to perform extraction.

Further, the composition of the present invention may be composed of the oil phase components depending on its type (for example, oily composition, oil-in-water emulsion composition, water-in-oil emulsion composition, etc.), or may be composed of the oil phase components and the water phase components.

[0024] The content of the oil-soluble chamomile extract in the composition of the present invention may be appropriately adjusted according to the type of the intended cosmetic (for example, oily cosmetic, emulsified cosmetic, etc.) and the effect of the intended oil-soluble chamomile extract (for example, beauty effects such as whitening, aroma effects such as fragrance, etc.).

[0025] 〈Bactiol〉 The composition of the present invention contains bactiol. Bactiol may be blended as one of the oil phase components in the composition of the present invention.

[0026] Bactiol (4-[(1E,3S)-3-ethenyl-3,7-dimethyl-1,6-octadien-1-yl]phenol; CAS No. 10309-37-2) is a kind of meroterpene of naturally occurring terpenophenol compounds and is an oily hydrophobic compound at normal temperature. Also, bactiol has a structure represented by the following formula (2): [Chemical formula]

[0027] In the composition of the present invention, natural-derived bactiol may be used, or synthetic bactiol may be used. Furthermore, bactiol can also be obtained, for example, by extracting from the seeds of the leguminous plant Psoralea corylifolia L. with an appropriate organic solvent.

[0028] In the composition of the present invention, the content of bactiol is not particularly limited. For example, it may be 0.1% by mass or more, 0.2% by mass or more, 0.3% by mass or more, 0.4% by mass or more, 0.5% by mass or more, 0.6% by mass or more, 0.7% by mass or more, 0.8% by mass or more, 0.9% by mass or more, or 1.0% by mass or more with respect to the entire composition, and may also be 5.0% by mass or less, 4.5% by mass or less, 4.0% by mass or less, 3.5% by mass or less, 3.0% by mass or less, 2.5% by mass or less, 2.0% by mass or less, 1.5% by mass or less, or 1.0% by mass or less.

[0029] Also, in the composition of the present invention, the content of bactiol may be appropriately adjusted according to the content of the oil-soluble chamomile extract contained in the composition of the present invention. For example, with respect to 1 part by mass of the dry solid content of the oil-soluble chamomile extract, bactiol may be 10 parts by mass or more, 50 parts by mass or more, 100 parts by mass or more, 200 parts by mass or more, and may also be 10000 parts by mass or less, 5000 parts by mass or less, 1000 parts by mass or less, 500 parts by mass or less.

[0030] 〈Other components〉 The composition of the present invention may further contain other components as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired. The selection of other components may be appropriately carried out according to the type of the intended cosmetic. Also, the content of other components may be appropriately adjusted according to the type of the intended cosmetic, the uses of other components, etc. Further, other components may be classified into oil-phase components or water-phase components based on their respective types and properties, etc. Hereinafter, some other components will be exemplarily described, but the present invention is not limited to these components.

[0031] (Group B vitamins or derivatives thereof) The composition of the present invention may further contain a group B vitamin or a derivative thereof.

[0032] Group B vitamins or derivatives thereof are known as beauty active ingredients. More specifically, the group B vitamins or derivatives thereof include, for example, one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B3 (also referred to as "niacin"), vitamin B5, vitamin B6, or vitamin B12, or derivatives thereof, and particularly preferably include vitamin B3, also called "niacin", or a derivative thereof. Note that "niacin" includes nicotinic acid and niacinamide (also referred to as "nicotinic acid amide").

[0033] Although niacinamide is known to have a whitening effect and an anti-wrinkle effect, as a result of intensive studies by the present inventors, it has been found that by blending niacinamide in the composition of the present invention, the moisture retention of the composition of the present invention can be further improved.

[0034] Therefore, in the present invention, it is preferable that the group B vitamin or a derivative thereof contains niacinamide. Since niacinamide is water-soluble, it may be contained as a water-phase component in the composition of the present invention. Also, the structure of niacinamide is shown by the following formula (3):

Examples

[0071] Examples are given below to explain the present invention in more detail, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Hereinafter, unless otherwise specified, the compounding amounts in the table are shown in mass%.

[0072] 《Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5》 Based on the formulations in Table 1, cosmetic compositions (water-in-oil type emulsified cosmetic compositions) of Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 were prepared.

[0073] For each of the prepared compositions, their usability (moisture, stickiness, and freshness) was evaluated based on the following method. The composition of Comparative Example 1 was used as a reference sample for evaluation. The obtained results are shown in Table 1.

[0074] 〈Evaluation of moisture〉 The usability when five professional panelists applied each composition to the skin was compared with the reference sample (Comparative Example 1), and evaluated in three levels: moist, equivalent moisture, and not moist. At this time, when more than half of the professional panelists judged that it was not moist compared to the reference sample (Comparative Example 1), it was marked as "-". Also, when more than half of the professional panelists judged that it was moist compared to the reference sample (Comparative Example 1), it was marked as "+". In addition, when more than half of the professional panelists judged that the moisture was equivalent compared to the reference sample (Comparative Example 1), or when there was no evaluation that reached more than half with a split evaluation, it was marked as "±". Furthermore, for this evaluation item, when all of the professional panelists judged that it was moist compared to the reference sample, it was marked as "++", and among those marked as "++", those judged by the general opinion of the five people to have an obviously stronger sense of moisture were marked as "+++".

[0075] 〈Evaluation of non-stickiness〉 The usability when five professional panelists applied each composition to the skin was compared with the reference sample (Comparative Example 1), and evaluated in three levels: sticky, equivalent stickiness, and not sticky. At this time, when more than half of the professional panelists judged that it was sticky compared to the reference sample (Comparative Example 1), it was marked as "-". Also, when more than half of the professional panelists judged that it was not sticky compared to the reference sample (Comparative Example 1), it was marked as "+". Furthermore, when more than half of the professional panelists judged that the stickiness was equivalent compared to the reference sample (Comparative Example 1), or when there was no evaluation that reached more than half with a split evaluation, it was marked as "±".

[0076] <Freshness> When the usability when five expert panelists applied each composition to the skin was compared with the reference sample, it was evaluated in three levels: not fresh, equal freshness, and fresh. At this time, when more than half of the expert panelists judged that it was not fresh compared to the reference sample (Comparative Example 1), it was marked as "-". Also, when more than half of the expert panelists judged that it was fresh compared to the reference sample (Comparative Example 1), it was marked as "+". Furthermore, when more than half of the expert panelists judged that the freshness was equal compared to the reference sample (Comparative Example 1), or when there was no evaluation that reached more than half due to a split evaluation, it was marked as "±".

[0077]

Table 1

[0078] As is clear from the results in Table 1, the composition of Comparative Example 2 containing the oil-soluble chamomile extract was found to have a problem in usability in that it feels sticky compared to the composition of Comparative Example 1 that does not contain the oil-soluble chamomile extract.

[0079] Also, the composition of Comparative Example 4 containing bacteriol without the oil-soluble chamomile extract had a slightly improved moistness compared to the case of Comparative Example 1, but almost the same results were obtained in the usability evaluation in terms of non-stickiness and freshness.

[0080] Regarding the above results, it was found that the compositions of Examples 1 to 4 all had improved moistness compared to the case of Comparative Example 2, and moreover, the stickiness was also improved. In particular, it was found that the compositions of Examples 3 and 4 had further improved moistness.

[0081] Note that the results of Comparative Example 3 indicate that there is no problem in usability when the water-soluble chamomile extract is blended.

[0082] On the other hand, in Comparative Example 5 containing retinol similar to bactiol, the effects as in Examples 1 to 4 were not observed.
