Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a cosmetic that can form a cosmetic film that provides a sense of transparency, and also to a method for evaluating the transparency of the cosmetic film. [Background technology]
[0002] In recent years, consumers have shown a preference for translucent skin when it comes to cosmetics. Base makeup is required not only to even out skin tone and conceal skin imperfections such as blemishes and freckles, but also to achieve a translucent, natural finish. Various improvements to the ingredients, such as powders, to be included in cosmetics have been investigated. For example, based on the fact that a high amount of internally reflected light in skin enhances translucency, it has been proposed to create a translucent finish by incorporating layered powders with an adjusted refractive index of the coating component into cosmetics (Patent Document 1). It has also been reported that translucency can be achieved in makeup cosmetics by setting the color and contrast ratio within specific ranges (Patent Document 2). There is also a high demand for skin care cosmetics that achieve translucent skin.
[0003] Recently, cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) have been attracting attention as a component to be incorporated into cosmetics, and for example, Patent Document 3 discloses a transparent gel-like cosmetic preparation containing CNFs and a diol.
[0004] There is also a great deal of interest in assessing desirable skin conditions, and for example, Patent Document 4 discloses a method for assessing radiant skin. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-90443 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2023-43656 [Patent Document 3] Patent Publication No. 2021-134212 [Patent Document 4] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-73933 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic film having a transparent appearance, and also to provide a method for evaluating the transparency of a cosmetic film. [Means for solving the problem]
[0007] The present inventors have studied skin with a translucent appearance, and have noticed that the film formed when mending tape is applied creates an ideal translucent appearance, and have decided to aim for a cosmetic that forms such a cosmetic film. As a result of intensive research, they have found that when the film surface has a moderate amount of fine irregularities, like mending tape, a translucent appearance can be felt, while when there are no irregularities, a glossy appearance can be felt. They have created a composition that can form such a cosmetic film, and have completed the cosmetic of the present invention. Furthermore, while conventionally skin transparency has been evaluated in vivo by sensory evaluation of actual skin, the inventors came up with the idea of establishing standards for the desired skin transparency using indicators of uniformity of texture, uniformity of color, and fineness of unevenness, and of conducting such evaluations in vitro on a skin model, thereby completing the evaluation method of the present invention.
[0008] That is, the present invention is as follows. [1] An emulsion-type cosmetic containing cellulose nanofiber, an oil, and a surfactant. [2] The cosmetic according to [1], wherein the oil agent contains silicone oil. [3] An emulsion-type cosmetic containing cellulose nanofibers, A cosmetic film formed by the cosmetic satisfies the following (a), (b), and (c): (a) Texture uniformity score is 0.2 to 1 (b) Color unevenness score is 5 to 7.5 (c) SDR value is 0.5 or more. [4] The cosmetic according to any one of [1] to [3], wherein the content of cellulose nanofibers in the cosmetic is 0.1% by weight or more of the total cosmetic. [5] The cosmetic preparation according to any one of [1] to [4], which is an oil-in-water emulsion type. [6] A method for evaluating the transparency of a cosmetic film using the uniformity of texture, uniformity of color, and density of unevenness as indicators. [7] The evaluation method described in [6], wherein the cosmetic film is formed in vitro. [8] The evaluation method according to [6] or [7], wherein a cosmetic film is evaluated as having good transparency when the cosmetic film satisfies the following (a), (b), and (c): (a) Texture uniformity score is 0.2 to 1 (b) Color unevenness score is 5 to 7.5 (c) SDR value is 0.5 or more. [Effects of the Invention]
[0009] The present invention provides a cosmetic that can form a cosmetic film that provides an ideal transparency similar to that of mending tape. The present invention also provides an index and method for accurately evaluating the transparency of a cosmetic film. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0011] <Cosmetic of the present invention> The mending tape film surface that the inventors focused on has a moderate amount of fine irregularities on the film surface, which has been confirmed to create uniformity in the texture of the cosmetic film and reduce color unevenness, as will be shown in the examples below. Therefore, the cosmetic of the present invention is capable of forming a cosmetic film with fine irregularities similar to the film surface of the mending tape, and such a cosmetic film satisfies the specified parameters. Specifically, the cosmetic film formed by the cosmetic preparation satisfies the following (a), (b), and (c). The cosmetic film is not particularly limited as long as it is formed to a uniform thickness, and may be, for example, formed by forming a film to a thickness of 5 mil on a hydrophilic surface slide glass using a doctor blade and drying it at 40°C for one day. Here, the skin model with pores can be a commercially available skin model, such as "Bio Skin Plate, Pore Model No. 10A (40s) Biocolor (manufactured by Beaulux Co., Ltd.)." (a) Texture uniformity score is 0.2 to 1 (b) Color unevenness score is 5 to 7.5 (c) SDR value is 0.5 or more, preferably 2 or more. It should be noted that the numerical ranges in this specification include the numerical values before and after "to".
[0012] (a) The texture uniformity score is a score that represents the degree of luminance variation within a certain range of the cosmetic film. Specifically, the luminance of the cosmetic film or its image is measured over the range of an arbitrary straight line of the cosmetic film, and the R of the quadratic approximation line when the measured values are plotted against the measurement line is calculated. 2 The length of the line to be measured is not particularly limited, but may be in the range of 10 to 100 mm, for example, the diameter of the skin model on which the cosmetic film is formed may be in the range of 55 mm. 2 The average value of the coefficients may be used as the score. Such measurements and analyses can be performed by analyzing the plot profile using the image analysis software ImageJ.
[0013] (b) The color unevenness score is a score that indicates the degree of color unevenness in a certain area of the cosmetic film. Specifically, the brightness of the cosmetic film or its image may be measured over an arbitrary area range of the cosmetic film, and the brightness variation may be calculated when the number of pixels for each brightness (gray value) is counted. The size of the area to be measured is not particularly limited, but is preferably 100 to 10,000 mm. 2 For example, the area of the skin model on which the cosmetic film is formed (2375 mm in the case of a diameter of 55 mm) 2 ) range. Alternatively, multiple measurement ranges may be set, and the average value of the variations among them may be used as the score. Such measurements and analysis can be performed by analyzing the plot profile using the image analysis software ImageJ.
[0014] (c) The SDR value is one of the indices that express surface roughness. It may be a measurement value in a predetermined range when observing a cosmetic film with a laser microscope, and can be measured using an LSM manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation or an LSM manufactured by Keyence Corporation, and calculated using any analysis software. The measurement range is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 to 100 mm. 2 For example, it may be a square range of 3 mm x 3 mm, or a plurality of measurement ranges may be provided and the average value of the variations therein may be used.

[0044] The cosmetic of the present invention can be in any form, such as a skin care cosmetic, a sunscreen cosmetic, or a makeup cosmetic. Preferred examples of skin care cosmetics include emulsions, essences, and serums. Preferred examples of sunscreen cosmetics include those for the face and body. Preferred examples of makeup cosmetics include makeup bases, foundations, concealers, BB creams, CC creams, mascaras, eye colors, blushes, and eyebrow colors.
[0045] When the cosmetic of the present invention is applied to the skin, it imparts a good transparency. Transparency refers to a state in which the skin appears clear and free of dullness and has no gloss or shine. The transparency of the cosmetic skin makes it possible to achieve a brightened skin tone.
[0046] The cosmetic of the present invention can be produced by a conventional method.
[0047] <Evaluation method of the present invention> The present specification also discloses a method for evaluating the transparency of a cosmetic film. The method for evaluating the transparency of a cosmetic film of the present invention is characterized by using the uniformity of texture, the uniformity of color, and the density of unevenness as indicators. Here, the index of texture uniformity may be determined, for example, in light of the texture uniformity score described above, the color uniformity may be determined, for example, in light of the color unevenness score described above, and the density of unevenness may be determined, for example, in light of the SDR value described above.
[0048] In this method, the cosmetic film may be evaluated on human skin, but it is preferable to perform the evaluation in vitro using a cosmetic film formed on a glass slide or a skin model, as this is simple and provides consistent evaluation results. In this case, if (a), (b), and (c) are satisfied, the cosmetic film may be evaluated as having good transparency. Note that the cosmetic film, (a), (b), and (c) are as described above in <Cosmetic Preparation of the Present Invention>. (a) Texture uniformity score is 0.2 to 1 (b) Color unevenness score is 5 to 7.5 (c) SDR value is 0.5 or more, preferably 2 or more [Example]
[0049] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples, but the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the examples illustrated.
[0050] <Preparation of cosmetics> According to the formulation shown in Table 1, an oil-in-water emulsion type cosmetic was prepared.
[0051] <Surface roughness measurement> By comparing films of mending tape (Scotch tape, manufactured by 3M Corporation) and Cellophane Tape (registered trademark) (manufactured by Nichiban Corporation), which are made of the same material, the transparency of the mending tape film was set to be a level that does not have a glaring sheen, disperses light moderately, and is transparent. When the surface of the mending tape was observed with a laser microscope, the presence of fine irregularities was observed. Therefore, the surface roughness (SDR value (%)) of the mending tape was measured, and this value was set as a parameter for the transparency of the cosmetic film to be targeted.
[0052] For each cosmetic product prepared, a film (5 mil) was formed on a hydrophilic surface slide glass using a doctor blade and dried at 40°C for one day to form a cosmetic film. The surface shape of each cosmetic film was observed using a laser microscope (Figure 1). The laser microscopes used were a Keyence Corporation VK-X3000 laser microscope and a Shimadzu Corporation LSM, and the measurement conditions were a 20x objective lens with a range of 3 mm x 3 mm. The SDR value was measured using the built-in analysis software of the instrument.
[0053] <Measurement of color unevenness score> The left and right cheeks of 20 adult women were photographed using a skin measurement device, VISIA-Evolution (registered trademark, Canfield Scientific Inc.). A specific area was cut out from the image and subjected to histogram analysis using the device's analysis program (Figure 2). The StdDev value of the histogram was used as a skin tone unevenness score, and the score for an ideal skin with transparency was searched for and set as the transparency value, with a score of 5 to 7.5.
[0054] Each cosmetic product was applied to a Bio Skin Plate, Pore Model No. 10A (40s), and Bio Color (manufactured by Beaulux Co., Ltd., diameter 55 mm) at a concentration of 0.127 g / cm 2Each cosmetic film was applied evenly with a finger and dried at 40°C for one day to form a cosmetic film. Each cosmetic film was placed on black construction paper and photographed using a skin measurement device, VISIA-Evolution (registered trademark, Canfield Scientific Inc.), with the cosmetic film parallel to the camera. Histogram analysis was performed in the analysis program of the device, and a color unevenness score was calculated (Figure 3). As a reference example, the same score was also measured for mending tape.
[0055] <Measurement of uniformity score> The left and right cheeks of 20 adult women were photographed using a skin measurement device, VISIA-Evolution (registered trademark, Canfield Scientific Inc.). A predetermined area was cut out from the image and a plot profile analysis was performed using the analysis program of the device (Figure 2). The quadratic approximation function of the plot profile, R 2 The value was used as the uniformity score, and the score for an ideal skin image with transparency was searched for and set as the transparency value aiming for a score of 0.2 to 1.
[0056] Each cosmetic product was applied to a Bio Skin Plate, Pore Model No. 10A (40s), and Bio Color (Beaulux Co., Ltd., diameter 55 mm) at a concentration of 0.126 g / cm 2 Each cosmetic film was applied evenly with a finger and dried at 40°C for one day to form a cosmetic film. Each cosmetic film was placed on black construction paper and photographed using a skin measurement device, VISIA-Evolution (registered trademark, Canfield Scientific Inc.), with the cosmetic film parallel to the camera. A plot profile analysis was performed in the device's analysis program, and a uniformity score was calculated (Figure 4). As a reference example, the same score was also measured for mending tape.
[0057] The results of each measurement are shown in Table 1. It was found that cosmetics containing cellulose nanofibers had texture uniformity scores, color unevenness scores, and SDR values close to those of mending tape, making it possible to create an ideal, transparent cosmetic film.
