Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a clear cosmetic composition comprising an aqueous phase and an oil phase. [Background technology]

[0002] Ultraviolet rays emitted from sunlight are the main cause of skin erythema, edema, freckles, and even skin cancer. For this reason, much research has been conducted in recent years into various skin diseases caused by ultraviolet rays.

[0003] Ultraviolet rays are generally classified as UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C according to their wavelengths: UV-A has wavelengths between 320 and 400 nm, UV-B has wavelengths between 280 and 320 nm, and UV-C has wavelengths between 200 and 280 nm. UV-A penetrates the dermis of the skin and is known to cause skin cancer, as well as cause skin aging and irritation by promoting wrinkles and melanin production. UV-B penetrates the epidermis and causes erythema, freckles, and edema. UV-C disappears when it passes through the ozone layer without reaching the earth's surface.

[0004] As mentioned above, consumers are increasingly interested in UV protection products to prevent and improve skin diseases related to sun exposure.

[0005] Meanwhile, in recent years, the UV-blocking cosmetics market has seen an increase in consumer demand for natural cosmetics that also improve skin texture, leading to a growing need for transparent UV-blocking cosmetics that do not leave a white cast, can be used by anyone, and are suitable for a variety of races.

[0096] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples, etc. It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that these examples are merely for the purpose of illustrating the present invention and that the scope of the present invention is not limited by these examples.

[0097] Manufacturing example The manufacturing methods of the examples and comparative examples according to one embodiment of the present invention are as follows: The components and contents of the examples and comparative examples are shown in Table 1 below.

[0098] In one embodiment of the present invention, the oil phase components were sequentially added to a container and mixed and dissolved. The aqueous phase components were mixed and dissolved in a separate container, and then added to the container containing the oil phase components and mixed using a homogenizer (Homo Mixer, Mark 2 2.5) to prepare UV blocking compositions (Examples 1 and 2).

[0099] As a comparative example of the present invention, the oil phase components were sequentially added to a container at room temperature and completely dissolved and dispersed. Then, the aqueous phase components were mixed and dissolved in a separate container. The mixture was then added to the container containing the oil phase components and emulsified using a homogenizer (Homo Mixer, Mark 2 2.5) to prepare UV blocking compositions (Comparative Examples 1 and 2).

[0100] [Table 1]

[0101] [Experimental Example] 1. UV blocking power comparison experiment Based on the "UV Protection Functionality Test Method" in the "Standards and Test Methods for Functional Cosmetics" announced by the Korea Food and Drug Administration, the UV protection index was measured by attaching a transparent plastic tape (Transpore Tape; 3M, USA) to the prepared cast, and then applying the cosmetic compositions of Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 at a sample concentration of 2 mg / cm. 2 The UV blocking effect was measured using an SPF 290 analyzer. The UV blocking index was calculated as the average of three experimental values. The results are shown in Table 2 below.

[0102] As can be seen from the values ​​shown in Table 2 below, Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, and Example 2 and Comparative Example 2, which have the same ingredients and contents except for the presence or absence of an emulsifier, were confirmed to have similar SPF indices.

[0103] [Table 2]

[0104] 2. Transparency comparison experiment Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were placed in transparent containers, and the transparency of the appearance of the formulation was compared visually. It was confirmed that Example 1 maintained its transparency compared to the opaque Comparative Example 1 (FIGS. 2A and 2B).

[0105] Furthermore, a fixed amount of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 was applied between glass slides, and the two were pressed together to compare the transparency of the formulations. Comparative Example 1 was applied opaquely, and the color of the bottom surface could not be seen, whereas Example 1 was applied transparently, and it was confirmed that the color of the bottom surface underneath the glass slide was clearly visible (Figure 3).

[0106] 3.Water resistance comparison experiment The formulation was applied to a glass slide at the same thickness using an applicator (100 μm), and then dried at room temperature for 5 minutes. After that, ionized water was dropped onto the applied surface using a dropper, and the shape of the water droplets spreading on the applied composition was confirmed.

[0107] As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that in Comparative Example 1, water droplets were dispersed on the preparation and the degree of spreading was high, whereas in Example 1, the dispersion of water droplets was poor and the degree of spreading was low.

[0108] Therefore, it was confirmed that Example 1 was superior in water resistance compared to Comparative Example 1 (FIG. 4).
