Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a cleansing cosmetic. [Background technology]

[0002] Cleansing cosmetics (hereinafter also referred to as "cleansing cosmetics") are widely known for removing makeup cosmetics (hereinafter also referred to as "makeup"). Among them, cleansing cosmetics containing a large amount of oil have become widespread in order to improve compatibility with makeup.

[0003] As an example of a cleansing cosmetic containing a large amount of oil, Patent Document 1 discloses a cleansing cosmetic that is a transparent oil-based thickened gel composition containing about 60% oil. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-176211 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Generally, cleansing cosmetics containing a large amount of oil are classified into oil, balm, and gel types. Oil types are easy to blend with makeup, but have the disadvantage of being very irritating to the skin. Balm types require the user to scoop the product from the container with a spatula or similar and dissolve it in the palm of their hand before use, which requires a complicated preparation process to blend with makeup. Gel types have a micellar structure in which the oil is enveloped in a surfactant, and in order to blend the oil with makeup, a preparation process is required before use, such as rubbing the product on the palm of your hand to break down this micellar structure.

[0006] For example, the transparent oil-based thickened gel composition described in Patent Document 1 has a high viscosity, and in order to blend it with makeup as a cleansing cosmetic, a preparatory step of breaking down the micellar structure by rubbing it on the palm of your hand or the like was required.

[0075] The cleansing cosmetic of the present invention is an O / D type emulsion composition. Here, the O / D type emulsion composition is an emulsion composition in which a dispersed phase O (e.g., component (C)) is dispersed in a continuous phase D (e.g., component (A), component (B), and component (D)). The composition of the D phase is not particularly limited as long as it contains a polyhydric alcohol and a surfactant.

[0076] The form of the cleansing cosmetic of the present invention is not limited and can be appropriately selected depending on the intended use. For example, the cleansing cosmetic of the present invention can be in a liquid or semi-solid form, such as a gel. The form of the cleansing cosmetic of the present invention can be appropriately adjusted based on the content of each component, for example, the content of oil, polyhydric alcohol, and water, particularly the content of water, and the type and content of thickener. In one embodiment, the form of the cleansing cosmetic of the present invention can be adjusted by, for example, changing the content of water, polyhydric alcohol, and oil. For example, when adjusting the form by the content of water, which has a particularly large effect on the form, when the content of water is 10% by mass or less relative to the total mass of the cleansing cosmetic, the cleansing cosmetic becomes gel-like, and as the water content increases above 10% by mass, the cleansing cosmetic gradually becomes liquid.

[0077] The cleansing cosmetic of the present invention has a well-balanced and appropriate blend of components (A) to (D), and optionally components (A) to (E), resulting in high makeup compatibility and thus shortening the cleansing time. Here, "makeup compatibility" means that when the cleansing cosmetic of the present invention is used to cleanse makeup, the cleansing cosmetic of the present invention penetrates into the makeup and dissolves it in the cleansing cosmetic. The "film-like feeling, protective feeling, and moist feeling after cleansing" means that when the cleansing cosmetic of the present invention is used to cleanse makeup, the film formed by the cleansing cosmetic of the present invention prevents the skin from drying out and protects the skin by leaving oils and grease on the skin, thereby maintaining a moist feeling on the skin. Furthermore, "water compatibility" refers to the compatibility of the cleansing cosmetic to which makeup has been blended with water. In other words, improved water compatibility of the cleansing cosmetic to which makeup has been blended allows the cleansing cosmetic to be completely removed without remaining on the skin when washed with water.

[0078] The cleansing cosmetic of the present invention can be produced by mixing the respective raw materials and carrying out an emulsification treatment. The emulsification treatment can be carried out using any method and equipment known in the art under appropriately set conditions.

[0079] for example, (1) Dispersing component (A) and a polyhydric alcohol as component (D) to prepare a D phase; (2) Component (B) and an oil component as component (C) are added dropwise to phase D and stirred to prepare an O / D emulsion; (3) A cleansing cosmetic product that is an O / D emulsion composition can be produced by adding other ingredients, including water as component (E), to the O / D emulsion and stirring. The temperature during production of the cleansing cosmetic product is not limited, and is, for example, 10°C to 100°C, in one embodiment 20°C to 80°C, in another embodiment 30°C to 70°C, and in another embodiment 40°C to 60°C.

[0080] Here, "oily component" refers to a component that is insoluble in water. Insoluble in water means, for example, that the solubility in water at 25°C is less than 0.1% by mass (less than 1 g / L). As the oily component, for example, any of the above-mentioned components (components (A) to (D) and component (E)) that is insoluble in water can be used, and also components that are generally used as oily components in the field of cosmetics can be used.

[0081] The term "aqueous component" refers to a component that can be dissolved and / or diluted with water, and includes water. Examples of the aqueous component that can be used include those of the above-mentioned components (components (A) to (D) and component (E)) that can be dissolved and / or diluted with water, and also include components that are generally used as aqueous components in the field of cosmetics.
