Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an oil-in-water type emulsified cosmetic for massage. More specifically, it relates to an oil-in-water type emulsified cosmetic for massage that has a constant thickness during massage, good finger slipperiness, and good temporal stability such that the skin becomes plump and soft after use.
Background Art
[0002] Massage is an act expected to have effects such as relaxing the stiffness of muscles, promoting blood and lymph circulation, and improving metabolism by applying appropriate pressure and stimulation to the face. A massage cosmetic is a cosmetic that, when applied onto the skin during massage, not only reduces friction on the skin but also provides a more effective and comfortable feeling of use by incorporating beauty ingredients.
[0003] As massage cosmetics, various forms such as cream, lotion, oil, balm, aqueous liquid, and aqueous gel types are commercially available. Not only do they reduce friction on the skin, but they also allow for massage while holding the skin, so there are cases where thickness is given to the massage cosmetic. Particularly in the case of oil-in-water type emulsified cosmetics, in order to give the cosmetic sufficient thickness, a large amount of oil agent may be blended. However, it may become heavy in terms of elongation, have poor finger slipperiness, or the oil agent may remain on the skin after use, making it difficult to feel the softness of the skin, resulting in an unsatisfactory feeling of use. Also, in some cases, emulsification stability cannot be maintained by blending a large amount of oil agent.
[0004] To date, an emulsified cosmetic (Patent Document 1) has been developed that allows for stable, long-duration massage treatments without burdening the skin, characterized by containing N-acyl amino acids and / or their salts, water-soluble polymers, and linear saturated alcohols with 14 to 24 carbon atoms. However, there was room for improvement regarding finger glide during massage. In addition, oil-in-water emulsified cosmetic (Patent Document 2) characterized by containing dimethylpolysiloxane, vegetable oils with a melting point of 25 to 50°C, and / or fatty acid triglycerides with a melting point of 25 to 50°C, and oil-in-water emulsified composition (Patent Document 3) characterized by containing surfactants, oil-phase components, aqueous components, hydrophobic modified polyether urethanes, and / or polysaccharides in an amount of 30% or more by mass of the total composition, have been developed, but none of them have solved all of the above problems.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2012-36145 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2024-136883 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2021-116232 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0006] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide an oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic for massage that has a consistent thickness during massage, allows for good finger glide, and has good long-term stability, leaving the skin plump and soft after use. [Means for solving the problem]
[0007] In other words, the present invention relates to the following components (A) to (D) (A) Sucrose fatty acid ester (B) Fatty acid ester type oils with a melting point of 30°C or higher (C) Triethylhexanoin (D)PEG-150 The present invention provides an oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic for massage, which contains the following: component (B) has a content of 1.0 to 5.0% by weight, component (C) has a content of 2.0 to 15% by weight, component (D) has a content of 0.1 to 1.0% by weight, and the total amount of oils containing components (B) and (C) is 30 to 50% by weight.
[0008] Furthermore, the present invention provides an oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic for massage in which component (A) is sucrose palmitate and its content is 1.5 to 5.0% by weight.
[0009] Furthermore, the present invention provides an oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic for massage in which component (B) is cetyl myristate. [Effects of the Invention]
[0010] The oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic for massage of the present invention is an oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic for massage that has a consistent thickness during massage, provides good finger glide, and exhibits good long-term stability, leaving the skin plump and soft after use. [Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention]
[0011] The content of component (A) sucrose fatty acid ester of the present invention is not particularly limited for the oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic for massage, but is preferably 1.5 to 5.0% by weight. Within this range, an oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic for massage can be obtained that exhibits particularly excellent usability, such as a consistent thickness during massage, smooth finger glide, and softness of the skin after use, while ensuring sufficient stability over time.
[0012] The component (A) sucrose fatty acid ester of the present invention is not particularly limited, but examples include sucrose laurate, sucrose myristate, sucrose palmitate, and sucrose stearate. Among these, sucrose palmitate and sucrose stearate are preferred in that they provide a certain thickness during massage and allow for good finger glide, and sucrose palmitate is even more preferred in that it provides a certain thickness during massage.
[0013] In the present invention, component (A), sucrose fatty acid ester, functions as an emulsifier in the oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic for massage of the present invention, and any sucrose fatty acid ester commonly used in cosmetics can be used. Commercially available sucrose fatty acid esters can be used, and examples include Surfhope SE COSME C-1616 and Surfhope SE COSME C-1816 from Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, and Cosmelike S-10 from Daiichi Kogyo Seiyaku Co., Ltd.
[0014] In this invention, the melting point is measured by the second or third method of melting point measurement, which are general test methods of the Quasi-Drug Raw Material Standards. Alternatively, the melting point value listed in catalogs, etc., may be used.
[0015] The content of component (B) of the present invention, a fatty acid ester type oil with a melting point of 30°C or higher, is 1.0 to 5.0% by weight, preferably 1.5 to 3.5% by weight, relative to the oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic for massage. Within this range, an oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic for massage can be obtained that offers excellent usability, such as a consistent thickness during massage, smooth finger glide, and softness of the skin after use, as well as good stability over time. If the content of component (B) of the present invention is less than 1.0% by weight, a consistent thickness during massage may not be felt, or the softness of the skin after use may not be felt, and if it is greater than 5.0% by weight, finger glide may be poor.
[0016] The component (B) of the present invention, a fatty acid ester type oil with a melting point of 30°C or higher, is not particularly limited, but examples include cetyl myristate, myristyl myristate, cetyl palmitate, and stearyl stearate. Among these, cetyl myristate and cetyl palmitate are preferred in that they provide a certain thickness during massage and leave the skin feeling soft after use, and cetyl myristate is even more preferred in that it provides a certain thickness during massage.
[0017] Component (B) of the present invention, any fatty acid ester type oil having a melting point of 30°C or higher, as long as it is commonly used in cosmetics, can be used. Commercial fatty acid ester type oils with a melting point of 30°C or higher can be used, and examples include Sperm Acetate manufactured by NOF Corporation, and NIKKOL N-SPV and NIKKOL MM manufactured by Nikko Chemicals Co., Ltd.
[0018] The content of component (C) triethylhexanoin of the present invention is 2.0 to 15% by weight, preferably 3.0 to 10% by weight, relative to the oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic for massage. Within this range, an oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic for massage can be obtained that offers excellent usability, such as a consistent thickness during massage, smooth finger glide, and softness of the skin after use, as well as good stability over time. If the content of component (C) of the present invention is less than 2.0% by weight, finger glide may be poor or the softness of the skin after use may not be felt, and if it is greater than 15% by weight, a consistent thickness during massage may not be felt.
[0019] Any triethylhexanoin (C) used in ordinary cosmetics can be used as component (C) of the present invention. Commercially available triethylhexanoin can be used, and NIKKOL Trifat S-308 manufactured by Nikko Chemicals Co., Ltd. is an example.
[0020] The content of component (D) PEG-150 in the present invention is 0.1 to 1.0% by weight, preferably 0.2 to 0.7% by weight, based on the oil-in-water type massage cosmetic. Within these ranges, an oil-in-water type massage cosmetic excellent in the feeling of use such as a certain thickness, finger slipperiness during massage, and softness of the skin after use, and having good stability over time can be obtained. When the content of component (D) in the present invention is less than 0.1% by weight, a certain thickness during massage may not be felt. When it is more than 1.0% by weight, the finger slipperiness may deteriorate or the stability over time may deteriorate.
[0021] Any component (D) PEG-150 of the present invention can be used as long as it is used in ordinary cosmetics. It is possible to use commercially available products, and PEG#6000 manufactured by NOF Corporation can be cited as an example.
[0022] The content of the oil agent used in the oil-in-water type massage cosmetic of the present invention is 30 to 50% by weight, preferably 35 to 45% by weight, based on the oil-in-water type massage cosmetic. Within these ranges, an oil-in-water type massage cosmetic excellent in the feeling of use such as a certain thickness, finger slipperiness during massage, and softness of the skin after use, and having good stability over time can be obtained. When the content of the oil agent in the present invention is less than 30% by weight, a certain thickness during massage may not be felt. When it is more than 50% by weight, the finger slipperiness may deteriorate or the stability over time may deteriorate.
[0023] Examples of oils used in the oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic for massage of the present invention include hydrocarbons, fats and oils, waxes, synthetic esters, silicones, fatty acids, and higher alcohols.
