Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to an oil-in-water cosmetic composition containing powder, suitable for use as a foundation or the like. [Background technology]
[0002] Water-in-oil emulsion cosmetics, which have an oily external phase and are often used in liquid foundations, tend to lack a fresh feeling when applied and have inferior moisturizing effects and a feeling of moisture.
[0003] On the other hand, oil-in-water cosmetics provide a fresh feel and have excellent moisturizing effects, and attempts have been made to thicken or solidify oil-in-water compositions to produce semi-solid or solid cosmetics suitable for foundations and the like.
[0004] On the other hand, there is a trend in the market for foundations with strong skin care effects. To meet this need, cosmetics that incorporate polar oils with UV absorbing properties into oil-in-water cosmetics are being investigated. Such cosmetics can achieve excellent usability and a beautiful finish, and also provide UV protection effects.
[0005] However, it has been difficult to simultaneously improve these various performances. Specifically, when an attempt is made to improve UV protection by increasing the amount of polar oil, the makeup lasting time, which is important for foundations, can be insufficient. Generally, it is known that adding a film-forming agent can improve makeup lasting time, but adding a film-forming agent can sometimes impair the freshness of the makeup when used and reduce the gloss after application. For this reason, there has been a demand for oil-in-water cosmetics suitable for foundations and the like, which have improved UV protection effects as well as improved usability and finish.

More specifically, the cosmetic composition exhibits excellent properties, such as a high UVB protection effect, a fresh feeling upon application, excellent makeup wear, and a glossy finish that lasts for a long time.
[0010] The oil-in-water cosmetic composition according to the present invention (hereinafter simply referred to as "cosmetic composition") is (A) polar oil, (B) silica, (C) Hydrophobized colorant, (D) a urethane-based water-soluble coating agent, and (E) Water; Each of these components, as well as other components that may be added, will be described below.
[0011] (A) Polar oil The polar oil (hereinafter sometimes referred to as component (A)) can be selected as needed from those commonly used in cosmetics. Specifically, (a1) Liquid ultraviolet absorbers such as octocrylene, 2-ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate, homosalate, 2-ethylhexyl salicylate, hexyl diethylaminohydroxybenzoate, t-butylmethoxydibenzoylmethane, ethylhexyl triazone, and bisethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine; (a2) Ester oils such as diisopropyl sebacate, pentaerythrityl tetraethylhexanoate, cetyl ethylhexanoate, jojoba oil, di(phytosteryl / octyldodecyl) lauroyl glutamate, triisostearin, glyceryl diisostearate, triethylhexanoin, phytosteryl / behenyl dimer dilinoleate, phytosteryl / isostearyl / cetyl / stearyl / isostearyl / cetyl / stearyl / behenyl dimer dilinoleate, isopropyl palmitate, phytosteryl macadamia nut fatty acid, pentaerythrityl tetra(behenate / benzoate / ethylhexanoate), ethylhexyl palmitate, myristyl myristate, isopropyl myristate, tripropylene glycol dipivalate, and isodecyl neopentanoate. The cosmetic composition according to the present invention preferably contains (a1) a liquid ultraviolet absorber. In order to enhance the ultraviolet protection effect of the cosmetic composition according to the present invention, a powdery ultraviolet reflective material or the like can be used, but in the present invention, the liquid ultraviolet absorber (a1) can be blended in at a high content.
[0012] Component (A) is not limited to these, and any polar oil can be combined as needed within a range that does not impair the effects of the present invention.
[0013] In the cosmetic preparation according to the present invention, the content of component (A) can be adjusted depending on the purpose. However, the content of component (A) relative to the total mass of the cosmetic preparation is preferably 8 to 30 mass%, more preferably 10 to 25 mass%.
