Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present technology relates to a sunscreen composition containing plant-derived components. It also relates to a method for improving off-odor and an off-odor improver for improving off-odor derived from ultraviolet absorbers promoted by plant-derived components.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, it has been known that ultraviolet protectants formulated in sunscreen compositions have a peculiar unpleasant odor, and various studies have been conducted to improve them. For example, in Patent Document 1, in a sunscreen cosmetic containing a cinnamic acid-based ultraviolet absorber widely used as an ultraviolet absorber, by formulating porous silica and preparing its dosage form into an oil-in-water type emulsion composition, a technique for efficiently reducing the peculiar odor of the cinnamic acid-based ultraviolet absorber is disclosed. For example, Patent Document 2 discloses a technique related to a low-viscosity oil-in-water type cosmetic containing a water-soluble ultraviolet absorber that is excellent in storage stability over time without changing in color and odor and has excellent usability.

[0003] Furthermore, in recent years, from the viewpoints of sustainability and natural orientation, compatibility between a high natural origin index and high usability as a cosmetic has been demanded, and the number of compositions replacing raw materials derived from chemical synthesis or petroleum with natural raw materials has been increasing. For example, as disclosed in Patent Document 3, a technique related to a cleansing cosmetic that is excellent in compatibility with oil, water washability, moist feeling after washing, and storage stability and also takes into account the natural environment, cosmetics, etc. indicating the natural origin index have been proposed.

[0004] A natural-derived component is a component formulated in a composition or cosmetic obtained based on natural raw materials defined in ISO16128. Here, the natural raw material refers to raw materials of water and plant, animal, microorganism, and mineral (excluding petroleum and natural gas) origin and obtained by physical processes such as drying and pulverization without chemical synthesis. Among naturally derived ingredients, plant-derived ingredients have historically been widely used, including vegetable oils extracted from various plants through methods such as pressing and extraction, and surfactants synthesized from plant-derived ingredients. Furthermore, in recent years, cosmetics that replace alcohol and butylene glycol with plant-derived ingredients have also been proposed. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0006] However, it was not known that plant-derived alcohols and butylene glycols tend to exacerbate odor changes in compositions over time, and in particular, that organic UV absorbers exacerbate odor changes over time. As a result, there was insufficient knowledge about which components are suitable for improving odor changes. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] Therefore, the inventors focused on concerns about odor changes caused by UV absorbers, exacerbated by plant-derived alcohols and butylene glycol, and conducted intensive research. As a result, they discovered a new combination of fragrance components that excels in masking and matching the exacerbated odor changes caused by UV absorbers over time.

[Effects of the Invention]

[0009] The sunscreen composition of the present invention can effectively protect against ultraviolet rays while improving the odor exacerbated by plant-derived alcohols and / or butylene glycol. Examples of effects that improve odors derived from ultraviolet absorbers include masking, matching, and fragrance enhancement, and the present invention excels in these effects. The effects described herein are not necessarily limited, and any of the effects described herein may also be present. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0010] The following describes preferred embodiments for carrying out the present invention. The embodiments described below are merely examples of representative embodiments of the present invention and should not be interpreted as narrowing the scope of the invention. Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, percentages in this specification are expressed in terms of mass. The upper limit (less than or equal to) and lower limit (greater than or equal to) of each numerical range (~) can be arbitrarily combined as desired. In this specification, "X~Y" indicating a range includes X and Y, meaning "X or greater and Y or less."

[0011] In this invention, the term "odor change" of the ultraviolet absorber refers to an unpleasant odor (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as "unpleasant odor") that originates from the ultraviolet absorber and develops over time, and is particularly exacerbated by its use in combination with plant-derived alcohol or butylene glycol. In this invention, the unpleasant odor of the ultraviolet absorber is not particularly limited, but is usually an oily odor. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of being able to better experience the masking effect, matching effect, and fragrance development of this invention, it is more preferable to target the odor change that occurs when the product is left or stored at high temperatures (for example, 50°C), where there is a high risk of odor change.

[0012] In the present invention, the "masking effect" refers to the effect of relatively improving an unpleasant odor by competing with a fragrance (aroma, fragrance) having a strong aromatic power against the unpleasant odor.

[0013] In the present invention, the "matching effect" refers to the effect of improving an unpleasant odor by mixing a fragrance (aroma, fragrance) that harmonizes with the unpleasant odor, incorporating the unpleasant odor as a constituent component of a good fragrance, and harmonizing it with the good fragrance as a whole.

[0014] In the present invention, the "fragrance intensity" refers to the fragrance felt from immediately after applying the composition until it spreads and becomes familiar, and refers to the effect of enabling the composition to be used comfortably.

[0015] <Component (A) Organic Ultraviolet Absorbent> Component (A) used in the present invention is an organic ultraviolet absorber. Any ultraviolet absorber that can be contained in cosmetics, quasi-drugs, pharmaceuticals, etc. is acceptable, and it is preferable to select from ultraviolet absorbers that are insoluble in water and readily soluble in oil. Here, an organic ultraviolet absorber refers to an ultraviolet absorber that contains carbon. Specifically, examples include ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, ethylhexyl triazone, bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine, diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate, polysilicone-15, ethylhexyl salicylate, methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol, oxybenzone-3, oxybenzone-4, oxybenzone-5, octocrylene, etc. Using two or more of these will make it more likely for an unpleasant odor to develop over time. Among these, from the viewpoint of ultraviolet protection effect, it is preferable to select from ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, ethylhexyl triazone, bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine, and diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate. Commercially available products include PARSOL MCX (ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, manufactured by DSM), UVINUL MC80 (ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, manufactured by BASF), PARSOL EHT (ethihexyl triazone, manufactured by DSM), UVINUL T 150 (ethylhexyl triazone, manufactured by BASF), PARSOL SHIELD (bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine, manufactured by DSM), TINOSORB S (bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine, manufactured by BASF), PARSOL DHHB (diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate, manufactured by DSM), and UVINUL A PLUS GRANULAR (diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate, manufactured by BASF).

[0023] <(C) Fragrance composition> Component (C) used in the present invention is a fragrance composition, and component (C) contains at least one fragrance component (c1) with an XlogP of 2 to 4. LogP is a partition coefficient that serves as an indicator of the hydrophobicity of a chemical substance, and because it is difficult to obtain an actual measured value, there are various prediction methods such as CLogP, ALogP, and SLogP. Among these prediction methods, XlogP is a prediction method that decomposes the molecule into individual atoms, considers the contribution of each, and corrects for this. In this application, XlogP was examined using values ​​listed in PubChem (https: / / pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov / ). Setting XlogP to 2 to 4 is more preferable because it allows for appropriate compatibility with hydrophobic oils, resulting in a composition with excellent masking effect, matching effect, and fragrance release.

[0065] The present technology will be described in more detail below based on reference examples, embodiments, etc. The embodiments described below are merely representative examples of the present technology and should not be interpreted as narrowing the scope of the present technology.

[0066] <Reference examples 1~8> Odor change test of organic UV absorbers derived from plant materials: Each of the samples from Reference Examples 1 to 8 in Table 1 was prepared using the method described below. The odor change of the organic ultraviolet absorber was evaluated and determined using the evaluation method and criteria shown below, and the results are also shown in Table 1.

[0067] [Table 1] (Note 1) Traceable 95 Grade 1 (manufactured by Nippon Alcohol Industry Co., Ltd.) (Note 2) Synthetic alcohol 95% (undenatured, manufactured by Nippon Alcohol Industry Co., Ltd.) (Note 3) High Sugar Cane BG (derived from sugarcane, manufactured by Higher Alcohol Industry Co., Ltd.) (Note 4) 1,3-Butylene glycol (manufactured by Daicel Corporation)

[0068] (Manufacturing method) A: Mix components (1) and (2) and component (7), and heat to dissolve at 70°C. B: Mix and dissolve components (3) to (6). After cooling C:A to 40°C, B was added and mixed to prepare each sample.

[0069] (Evaluation method 1: Degree of odor change of organic UV absorber (50℃ / 1M)) Six fragrance experts evaluated the degree of odor change of organic UV absorbers. Each sample was stored in a 50°C constant temperature bath for one month (1M), and then the fragrance was evaluated after cooling to room temperature. Using the degree of odor change observed in Reference Example 1 (50°C / 1M) as a baseline, a four-level evaluation was assigned according to the evaluation criteria below, and the average score of all evaluators was calculated and used for the final determination. When determining the final determination, if the first decimal place of the absolute value of the average score was 5 or less, the decimal part was truncated; if it was 6 or more, the decimal part was rounded up and a minus sign was added, as shown in Table 1.

[0070] [4-level rating system and evaluation criteria] (Rating / Average Score): (Evaluation / Judgment Result) 0 points: I detected an oily smell derived from organic UV absorbers. -1 point: Compared to 0 points (Reference Example 1), the oily odor derived from the organic UV absorber was slightly stronger. -2 points: Compared to 0 points (Reference Example 1), I strongly felt the oily odor derived from the organic UV absorber. -3 points: Compared to 0 points (Reference Example 1), the oily odor derived from the organic UV absorber was very strong.

[0071] As is clear from Table 1, in Reference Example 3, which contains 3% plant-derived ethanol; Reference Example 6, which contains 0.5% plant-derived butylene glycol; and Reference Example 8, which contains both 3% plant-derived ethanol and 0.5% plant-derived butylene glycol, there was a tendency for the odor change due to the organic ultraviolet absorber to become stronger over time compared to Reference Examples 1, 4, and 7, which do not contain plant-derived components, and Reference Examples 2 and 5, which contain low amounts of plant-derived components. These results suggest that plant-derived ethanol and / or plant-derived butylene glycol in amounts exceeding a certain level promotes the odor change of organic ultraviolet absorbers.

[0072] <Examples 1-53, Comparative Test Examples 1-9> Each sample from Examples 1-53 and Comparative Examples 1-9 in Tables 2-6 was prepared by the following method, and the masking effect, matching effect, and aroma development were evaluated using the evaluation method and criteria shown below. The results are shown in Tables 2-6.

B: Mix components (6) to (9), component (13), and component (14), and heat to dissolve at 70°C. C:A was added to B and mixed, then emulsified. After cooling D:C to 40°C, components (5) and (15) to (31) were added and mixed to obtain each sample.

[0096] <Evaluation Method> Six fragrance experts evaluated each fragrance composition using the method described below to verify its masking effect, matching effect, and fragrance development.

[0097] <Evaluation method: (i) Masking effect> Six fragrance experts evaluated each sample after storing it in a 50°C constant temperature bath for one month and then allowing it to cool to room temperature. They assessed the fragrance (whether the fragrance composition, by competing with the organic UV absorber's unpleasant odor (oil odor), relatively improved the unpleasant odor). A five-point scale was assigned according to the evaluation criteria below, and the average score of all evaluators was calculated. The results of the evaluations based on the judgments below are shown in Tables 2-6. When making the judgment, if the first decimal place of the average score was 5 or less, the decimal part was truncated; if it was 6 or more, the decimal part was rounded up.

[0098] [5-point rating scale] (Rating) : (Evaluation) 5 points: I hardly noticed any change in odor due to the UV absorber over time. 4 points: I noticed a slight change in odor due to the UV absorber over time. 3 points: I noticed a slight change in odor due to the UV absorber over time. 2 points: I noticed a slightly strong change in odor due to the UV absorber over time. 1 point: I noticed a very strong change in odor due to the UV absorber over time.

[0099] [5-level rating criteria] (Rating): (Average score) A (Excellent): Score above 4.5 B (Good): Above 3.5 points and below 4.5 points C (Acceptable): A score greater than 3.0 and less than or equal to 3.5. D (Somewhat unacceptable): A score above 2.0 and below 3.0. E (not acceptable): 2.0 points or less

[0100] <Evaluation method: (b) Matching effect> Six fragrance experts evaluated each sample after storing it in a 50°C constant temperature bath for one month and then allowing it to cool to room temperature. They assessed the fragrance (whether the unpleasant odor (oil odor) of the organic UV absorber and the fragrance composition were harmonized). A five-point scale was assigned according to the evaluation criteria below, and the average score of all evaluators was calculated. The results of the judgments based on these results are shown in Tables 2-6. When making judgments, if the first decimal place of the average score was 5 or less, the decimal part was truncated; if it was 6 or more, the decimal part was rounded up.

[0101] [5-point rating scale] (Rating) : (Evaluation) 5 points: The unpleasant odor from the UV absorber has harmonized with the fragrance, resulting in a pleasant scent. 4 points: The unpleasant odor from the UV absorber was harmonized with the product, and the discomfort disappeared. 3 points: There was no change in the unpleasant odor caused by the UV absorber. 2 points: The unpleasant odor is stronger than the odor caused by UV absorbers. 1 point: The unpleasant odor is much stronger than the odor caused by UV absorbers.

[0103] <Evaluation method: (c) Aroma> Six fragrance experts evaluated each sample after storing it in a 50°C constant temperature bath for one month and then allowing it to cool to room temperature. They then assessed the fragrance (the scent perceived from immediately after application until the sunscreen composition is spread and absorbed). A five-point scale was assigned according to the evaluation criteria below, and the average score of all evaluators was calculated. The results of the evaluations, based on these scores, are shown in Tables 2-6. Note that in the evaluation, if the first decimal place of the average score was 5 or less, the decimal part was rounded down; if it was 6 or more, the decimal part was rounded up.

[0104] [5-point rating scale] (Rating) : (Evaluation) 5 points: Excellent fragrance development. 4 points: Good fragrance 3 points: The fragrance is slightly better. 2 points: The fragrance is not very strong. 1 point: The fragrance is very poor.
