Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic. [Background technology]

[0002] Internal factors such as aging and stress, as well as external factors such as ultraviolet rays and dry air, can cause skin to develop wrinkles, sagging, and pigmentation such as age spots and freckles. Morphological changes such as wrinkles and sagging, and visual changes such as pigmentation, have a significant impact on the appearance of the skin, so many people desire to improve these changes, and a variety of products are available.

[0003] Many active ingredients have been proposed to prevent and improve wrinkles, sagging, and pigmentation. Among these, niacinamide, an active ingredient for wrinkles and sagging, is known to be highly safe and effective in preventing skin aging. Tranexamic acid has also been proposed as a whitening agent that improves or inhibits pigmentation. However, it is known that products containing large amounts of niacinamide or tranexamic acid can have undesirable textures, such as stickiness.

[0004] In response to this, a technology has been disclosed that combines niacinamide, silicone oil with a viscosity of 25 mPa·s or less at 25°C, polyether-modified silicone, and carboxymethyl cellulose to improve wrinkles and reduce stickiness (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Furthermore, a technology has been disclosed for a lotion that has a wrinkle-improving effect and a penetrating feel upon use, by combining two types of alkylene oxide derivatives, a 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine-butyl methacrylate copolymer, and a polyhydric alcohol (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

[0024] (Component (C): One or more glycerin derivatives selected from (c1) and (c2) represented by the following general formulas)

[0025] The component (C) used in the present invention is one or more glycerin derivatives selected from the component (c1) and the component (c2) represented by the following general formula: Component (c1) general formula (1) [ka] ···(1) (In formula (1), Gly is a residue obtained by removing a hydroxyl group from glycerin, PO is an oxypropylene group, EO is an oxyethylene group, l and m are the average number of moles of PO and EO added, respectively, (l+m) is a value of 1 to 60, the mass ratio (PO / EO) is 1 / 5 to 5 / 1, BO is an oxyalkylene group having 4 carbon atoms, and n is the average number of moles of BO added and is a value of 0 to 5.) Component (c2) general formula (2) [ka] ···(2) (In formula (2), R represents -[CH2CH(CH3)O]-, p, q, r, and s each represent an integer of 0 to 20, and p+q+r+s represents an integer of 4 to 20.)

[0026] That is, component (c1) is a compound obtained by adding propylene oxide and ethylene oxide to glycerin in a total amount of 3 to 180 molar equivalents relative to the glycerin, or by further adding an alkylene oxide having 4 carbon atoms in a total amount of 0 to 15 molar equivalents relative to the glycerin. The glycerin derivative of component (c1) can be obtained by first synthesizing an adduct of PO and EO, and then adding an alkylene oxide having 4 carbon atoms in block form.

[0027] The mass ratio (PO / EO) of propylene oxide (PO) to ethylene oxide (EO) in component (c1) is 1 / 5 to 5 / 1, and the addition form of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide may be random or block. If the mass ratio (PO / EO) of propylene oxide (PO) to ethylene oxide (EO) is less than 1 / 5, the penetration feeling, moisturizing feeling immediately after application, and the durability of the moisturizing feeling decrease, while if it exceeds 5 / 1, the non-stickiness and penetration feeling decrease.

[0028] The average number of added moles of propylene oxide (PO) and ethylene oxide (EO) in component (c1) is preferably 3 to 180 moles in total, i.e., l + m is in the range of 1 to 60. From the viewpoint of penetration feeling and moisturizing feeling, etc., the average number of added moles of PO and EO is more preferably 3 to 150 moles in total, i.e., l + m is in the range of 1 to 50, and even more preferably 3 to 90 moles in total, i.e., l + m is in the range of 1 to 30. If the average number of added moles of PO and EO is less than 3 moles in total, i.e., l + m is less than 1, the lack of stickiness and penetration feeling may be poor. If the average number of added moles is 180 moles in total, i.e., l + m is more than 60, the moisturizing feeling immediately after application and the long-lasting moisturizing feeling may be poor.

[0029] The average number of moles of propylene oxide (PO) added in component (c1) is preferably 3 to 90 moles, i.e., l is in the range of 1 to 30, and more preferably 3 to 60 moles, i.e., l is in the range of 1 to 20. By setting the average number of moles of PO added in component (c1) in this range, the effects of the present invention, such as non-stickiness, penetration feeling, moisturizing feeling immediately after application, and sustained moisturizing feeling, are preferably exhibited more favorably.

[0030] The average number of added moles of alkylene oxide (BO) having 4 carbon atoms in component (c1) is preferably 0 to 15 moles, i.e., n is preferably in the range of 0 to 5, and the average number of added moles of BO is more preferably 3 to 15 moles, i.e., n is preferably in the range of 1 to 5. If the average number of added moles of BO is 15 moles, i.e., n exceeds 5, the non-stickiness and penetration feeling may not be excellent.

[0031] In the present invention, when the average number of added moles of alkylene oxide (BO) having 4 carbon atoms is 0 moles, i.e., n is 0, the average number of added moles of propylene oxide (PO) and ethylene oxide (EO) is preferably 90 to 180 moles in total, i.e., l + m is in the range of 30 to 60, and more preferably, the average number of added moles of PO and EO is 90 to 150 moles in total, i.e., l + m is in the range of 30 to 50. Furthermore, when the average number of added moles of BO is 1 to 5 moles, i.e., n is in the range of 1 to 5, the average number of added moles of PO and EO is preferably 3 to 90 moles in total, i.e., l + m is in the range of 1 to 30, and more preferably, the average number of added moles of PO and EO is 3 to 60 moles in total, i.e., l + m is in the range of 1 to 20. By setting the moles in the above ranges, the effects of the present invention, such as non-stickiness, penetration feeling, moisturizing feeling immediately after application, and sustained moisturizing feeling, are more preferably exhibited.

[0032] Examples of the alkylene oxide having 4 carbon atoms of the component (c1) include 1,2-butylene oxide, 2,3-butylene oxide, tetramethylene oxide (tetrahydrofuran), etc. Among these, 1,2-butylene oxide is preferred from the viewpoints of availability and ease of reaction control.
