Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a skin cosmetic composition having a non-greasy silky feel, a good moisturizing feeling, and persistence, and a method for producing the skin cosmetic composition.

Background Art

[0002] A variety of cosmetics are provided on the market for skin care. Toners, emulsions, cream formulations for moisturizing, and for skin problems, for example, spot care and whitening cosmetics containing tranexamic acid, arbutin, vitamin C, etc., retinol for wrinkle and sagging care, niacinamide-containing cosmetics, and formulations for rough and dry skin care containing dipotassium glycyrrhizinate, rice power No. 11, etc. There are various cosmetics.

[0003] These various cosmetics used for the skin of the face, body, etc. each have characteristics selected by users, but it is natural that they are not sticky during and after use and have a moisturizing effect. Furthermore, the persistence of the effect and the actual feeling thereof are required regardless of short-term use or long-term continuous use. In order to obtain a moisturizing effect and a lasting feeling of moistness, for example, an emulsified composition containing ceramides, alkylene oxide derivatives, etc., which are essential components of the skin (Patent Document 1), an oily component having a melting point of 50 to 150°C, octamethyltrisiloxane, an emulsified emulsified composition combining an α-olefin oligomer and a nonionic surfactant (Patent Document 2), a cosmetic composition containing nicotinic acid amide, cyclohexane-1,4-dicarboxylic acid bisethoxydiglycol, a surfactant, a liquid oil, and a polyhydric alcohol having an IOB value of 2.2 to 3.4 (Patent Document 3) have been proposed.

[0004] However, although those disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3 have a moisturizing effect and a persistence of a moist feeling, they have similar feelings and texture feelings. In order to be selected by users, not only a persistence of a moist feeling but also a cosmetic composition having a characteristic feeling and texture feeling is required.

Nicotinamide is a water-soluble vitamin, an amide compound of nicotinic acid (vitamin B3 / niacin), and one of the vitamin B group. Also, nicotinamide is also called niacinamide. In Japan, it has been approved as an active ingredient having effects such as wrinkle improvement, whitening, and prevention of rough skin in quasi-drugs cosmetics. Also in cosmetics, moisturizing, improvement of barrier function, collagen stimulation, lighting, anti-inflammation, anti-acne, protection from blue light, anti-po It is a component for which reduction is expected, and commercially available products can be used.

[0016] In the skin cosmetic composition according to this embodiment, the blending amount of the component (A) is not particularly limited, but in the total composition of the skin cosmetic composition, preferably 0.01% by mass or more and 10% by mass or less, more preferably 0.1% by mass or more and 10% by mass or less. If the blending amount of the component (A) is 0.01% by mass or more in the total composition of the skin cosmetic composition, the effect of imparting a moist feeling to the skin can be sufficiently obtained, and if it is 10% by mass or less, stickiness can be sufficiently suppressed.

[0017] The component (B) of the cosmetic composition according to this embodiment is one or two or more liquid oils selected from diisostearyl malate, squalane, methylpolysiloxane and mineral oil.

[0018] Diisostearyl malate is a diester formed by esterifying two molecules of malic acid with isostearyl alcohol. It is also called distearyl malate. Diisostearyl malate is a liquid ester oil that has moderate viscosity, little stickiness, and excellent compatibility with other components, so it is widely used as an oily base in cosmetics.

[0019] Squalane is a saturated hydrocarbon with 30 carbon atoms obtained by hydrogenating squalene, having 4 methyl groups (-CH3) as side chains on its carbon chain. There are animal-based, plant-based, or synthetic hydrocarbons. It is colorless and has excellent lubricity, and is an oil widely used in cosmetics, moisturizers, ointments, etc.

[0020] Methylpolysiloxane is a linear siloxane polymer obtained by blocking the ends of dimethylpolysiloxane with trimethylsiloxy groups (-OSi(CH3)3), and is a type of silicone. Methylpolysiloxane is also called polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) or dimethicone. It is transparent, inert, non-toxic, and non-flammable, and its uses are wide-ranging in cosmetics, such as imparting gloss, improving slipperiness, defoaming agents, lubricants, bases, solvents, surface modifiers, etc.

[0021] Mineral oil is a liquid hydrocarbon mixture composed of saturated components of paraffinic hydrocarbons and naphthenic hydrocarbons with 16 - 32 carbon atoms, obtained by distilling petroleum to remove solid paraffin and purifying. Mineral oil is chemically inert, has high oxidation stability, has lubricity, and is an oil widely used as a base in makeup, oil-based, cleansing, and creams, etc.

[0022] Diisostearyl malate, squalane, methylpolysiloxane, and mineral oil used as component (B) of the skin cosmetic composition according to this embodiment can use commercially available products. Also, as component (B), diisostearyl malate, squalane, methylpolysiloxane, and mineral oil may be used alone, or two or more types may be used.

[0023] In the skin cosmetic composition according to this embodiment, the amount of component (B) is 0.1% to 10% by mass of the total composition of the skin cosmetic composition, preferably 0.1% to 8% by mass. If the amount of component (B) is 0.1% by mass or more of the total composition of the skin cosmetic composition, sufficient moisturizing effect and duration can be obtained, and if it is 10% by mass or less, stickiness can be suppressed and a silky feel can be obtained.

[0024] Component (C) of the skin cosmetic composition according to this embodiment is (c1) a higher alcohol and (c2) a higher fatty acid.

[0025] (c1) Higher alcohols are a general term for monohydric alcohols with 6 or more carbon atoms (C6), Fatty alcohols are broadly classified into fatty alcohols derived from natural oils and fats, and synthetic alcohols derived from petrochemical products. Higher alcohols used in cosmetics can also be classified by degree of saturation, whether or not they are synthetic, chain structure, and number of carbon atoms. For example, saturated aliphatic alcohols include lauryl alcohol (12 carbon atoms), myristyl alcohol (14 carbon atoms), cetanol (16 carbon atoms), cetearyl alcohol (16 and 18 carbon atoms), stearyl alcohol (18 carbon atoms), arachidyl alcohol (20 carbon atoms), and behenyl alcohol (22 carbon atoms). Unsaturated aliphatic alcohols include oleyl alcohol. Synthetic alcohols can also be categorized by differences in the number of carbon atoms, branching chain, etc., and include hexyldecanol, isostearyl alcohol, octyldodecanol, decyltetradecanol, etc. In the skin cosmetic composition according to this embodiment, the higher alcohol is not particularly limited, but solid linear saturated higher alcohols with 14 or more carbon atoms, 15 or more carbon atoms, 16 or more carbon atoms, or 22 or more carbon atoms are preferred.

[0026] Furthermore, (c2) higher fatty acids refer to fatty acids with 12 or more carbon atoms. Fatty acids can be classified into saturated fatty acids, which have single bonds and no double bonds, and unsaturated fatty acids, which have one or more double bonds, based on their degree of unsaturation. Examples of higher fatty acids include saturated fatty acids such as lauric acid (12 carbon atoms), myristic acid (14 carbon atoms), palmitic acid (16 carbon atoms), stearic acid (18 carbon atoms), arachidic acid (20 carbon atoms), behenic acid (22 carbon atoms), lignoceric acid (24 carbon atoms), cerotic acid (26 carbon atoms), montanic acid (28 carbon atoms), monounsaturated fatty acids such as palmitoleic acid, oleic acid, elaidic acid, ricinoleic acid, eicosenoic acid, and erucic acid, and polyunsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid, γ-linolenic acid, and α-linolenic acid. Other examples include synthetic branched fatty acids with 18 carbon atoms such as isostearic acid, hydroxystearic acid with a hydroxyl group (-OH), and lanolin fatty acid, which is a mixture of animal fatty acids. In the skin cosmetic composition according to this embodiment, the higher fatty acids are not particularly limited, but solid linear higher fatty acids with 14 or more carbon atoms, 15 or more carbon atoms, 16 or more carbon atoms, or 18 or more carbon atoms can be preferably used. (C) The higher alcohols and higher fatty acids in component (C) can be commercially available products.

[0032] Polyglycerin is a viscous liquid derived from glycerin and is used in cosmetics as a humectant and additive. It has a structure in which multiple glycerin molecules are polymerized, ranging from dimers to decamers. For example, polyglycerin with two glycerin molecules is called diglycerin, with three molecules is called triglycerin, and with ten molecules it is called decaglycerin. It is a polyhydric alcohol with different molecular weights and hydroxyl groups. Even with the same number of glycerin molecules, there are differences in the bond structure, such as linear, cyclic, and branched, resulting in a variety of types.
