Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to cosmetic capsules and a method for producing the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a cosmetic capsule encapsulating a cosmetic composition containing at least one component selected from the group consisting of water-soluble components and plant extracts, and EASYNOV (registered trademark) or ABIL (registered trademark) EM90, and a method for producing the same.
Background Art
[0002] Conventionally, cosmetics containing cosmetic capsules have been used. For the formation of capsules, an example using a gelation reaction between alginate and metal ions has been reported. Since alginate is produced from components derived from seaweeds, it has high safety and is widely used in the field of cosmetics. In Cited Documents 1 and 2, capsules are obtained by dropping a dropping solution composed of an aqueous solution of sodium alginate into a receiving solution such as a water-soluble calcium salt.
[0003] However, such alginate-derived capsules have a problem that since alginate has a network-like molecular structure, there are many gaps, and water-soluble components flow out of the capsules.

Patent Document 2
[0005] Under these circumstances, the inventors conducted diligent research and discovered that by forming a W / O (water-soluble) emulsion of water-soluble and oil-soluble components and dispersing it in alginate, it is possible to manufacture cosmetic capsules containing a water-soluble cosmetic composition. Because the continuous phase of the W / O emulsion is the oil phase, the water-soluble active ingredients do not flow out, and the components can remain in the alginate capsule. Therefore, these cosmetic capsules can contain not only oil-soluble components but also cosmetic compositions combining multiple water-soluble and oil-soluble active ingredients, and cosmetics using these capsules can exhibit higher efficacy. [Overview of the Initiative] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[Figure 2] This figure shows the purified water after being placed in purified water and left to stand for 24 hours following the manufacturing of an example of the cosmetic capsule according to the present invention (from left to right, the capsules that received a ◎ rating and those that received a × rating in the retention evaluation are shown side by side). [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0016] The cosmetic capsules according to the present invention will be described in detail below.
[0017] Furthermore, the terms used herein are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, which is limited only by the appended claims. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as they would be commonly understood by those skilled in the art.
[0018] In this specification, water-soluble ingredients and plant extracts are indicated by their cosmetic ingredient names or general names. Even if a water-soluble ingredient or plant extract has a quasi-drug ingredient name different from the above cosmetic ingredient name, it may still be included in the above water-soluble ingredients and plant extracts if its INCI name is the same.
[0019] In this specification, "vitamin B12" refers to cyanocobalamin. Cyanocobalamin is a general term for cobamide coenzymes containing 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole as a base.
[0020] The cosmetic capsule of the present invention is a cosmetic capsule having a cosmetic composition containing at least one or more components selected from the group consisting of water-soluble components and plant extracts, and EASYNOV (registered trademark) (manufactured by SEPPIC S.A.) or ABIL (registered trademark) EM90 (manufactured by Evonik Operations), and a capsule layer covering the cosmetic composition. The film base material of the capsule layer contains an aqueous alginate solution and an alkaline earth metal salt. The cosmetic composition forms an emulsion layer, and the emulsion layer is a W / O type emulsion layer. It is to be noted that the fact that the emulsion layer contains an emulsifier is merely an example and not limited thereto.
[0021] The capsule layer of the cosmetic capsule of the present invention can be formed by dropping an aqueous alginate solution into an aqueous solution of an alkaline earth metal salt.
[0022] Examples of the alginate used in the present invention include alkali metal salts such as sodium alginate, potassium alginate, and calcium alginate, ammonium alginate, or alginate esters. Particularly, sodium alginate or potassium alginate can be preferably used. These alginates can be appropriately used alone or in combination of two or more as necessary, but are not limited thereto.
[0023] The concentration of the alginate in the aqueous alginate solution used for the film base material of the capsule layer of the cosmetic capsule of the present invention is preferably 0.05 to 2.0% by weight, particularly preferably 0.1 to 1.5% by weight. The reason is that when the concentration exceeds a certain limit and becomes too high, the film strength of the capsule layer becomes excessive and film residues are generated during use. On the other hand, when the concentration is extremely low, the strength of the capsule layer becomes insufficient.
[0024] Examples of alkaline earth metal salts used as the coating substrate for the capsule layer of the cosmetic capsule of the present invention include calcium salts. Calcium chloride, in particular, can be used relatively well. Calcium chloride is preferable because of its high solubility in water and excellent stability, but the invention is not limited to this. Two or more alkaline earth metal salts may be used simultaneously, or they may be used individually.
[0025] The concentration of the alkaline earth metal salt in the aqueous solution used as the coating substrate for the capsule layer of the cosmetic capsule of the present invention is preferably 0.1 to 3.0% by weight, and particularly preferably 0.1 to 2.0% by weight. This is because if the concentration exceeds a certain limit, the film strength of the capsule layer becomes excessive, resulting in film residue during use, while if the concentration is extremely low, the strength of the capsule layer becomes insufficient. When forming the capsule layer, it is preferable that the aqueous solution of the alkaline earth metal salt, as the receiving liquid, is present in an amount equal to or greater than the weight of the dropping solution containing the alginate aqueous solution.
[0026] In the cosmetic capsules of the present invention, as the water-soluble component, at least one component selected from the group consisting of, for example, water-soluble vitamin C, water-soluble vitamin C derivatives, arbutin, vitamin B12, water-soluble azulene, photosensitizer 201, photosensitizer 301, water-soluble dyes, sodium chloride, Phellodendron amurense extract, Lithospermum erythrorhizon extract, and Gardenia jasminoides extract can be used relatively well, but is not limited thereto. Furthermore, two or more water-soluble components may be used simultaneously, or they may be used individually.
[0027] In the cosmetic capsule of the present invention, the content of the water-soluble component may be, for example, 0.01% to 1.00% by weight, 0.10% to 1.00% by weight, 0.20% to 1.00% by weight, or 0.50% to 1.00% by weight, relative to the total weight of the cosmetic capsule. For example, from the viewpoint of more significantly exhibiting the effects of the present invention, 0.01% to 1.00% by weight is preferred.
[0028] In the cosmetic capsules of the present invention, examples of water-soluble vitamin C or water-soluble vitamin C derivatives include sodium ascorbate, magnesium L-ascorbyl phosphate, sodium ascorbyl phosphate, ascorbyl glucoside, sodium ascorbyl palmitate phosphate, 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, disodium isostearyl ascorbyl phosphate, or caprylyl 2-glyceryl ascorbic acid. Sodium ascorbate or magnesium L-ascorbyl phosphate are particularly well-suited for use. These water-soluble vitamin C or water-soluble vitamin C derivatives can be used individually or in combination of two or more as needed, but are not limited thereto.
[0029] In the cosmetic capsules of the present invention, water-soluble vitamin C or water-soluble vitamin C derivatives, such as sodium ascorbate and magnesium L-ascorbyl phosphate, provide whitening effects, improve skin firmness, and suppress skin damage caused by ultraviolet rays.
[0030] In the cosmetic capsules of the present invention, plant extracts such as Phellodendron Amurense Bark extract, Lithospermum officinale L. extract, Gardenia jasminoides Ellis extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Georgi root extract, Vaccinium myrtillus L. leaf extract, Averrhoa carambola L. leaf extract, and Prunus amygdalus Batsch seed extract can be used, but Phellodendron Amurense Bark extract, Lithospermum officinale L. extract, and Gardenia jasminoides Ellis extract can be used particularly well. These plant extracts can be used individually or in combination of two or more as needed, but are not limited thereto.
[0031] In the cosmetic capsule of the present invention, the content of the plant extract may be, for example, 0.01% to 1.00% by weight, 0.10% to 1.00% by weight, 0.20% to 1.00% by weight, or 0.50% to 1.00% by weight, relative to the total weight of the cosmetic capsule. For example, from the viewpoint of more significantly exhibiting the effects of the present invention, 0.01% to 1.00% by weight is preferred.
[0032] In the cosmetic capsules of the present invention, arbutin is a type of hydroquinone derivative that suppresses the production of melanin, which causes blemishes, and provides a whitening effect that prevents blemishes and freckles.
[0033] In the cosmetic capsules of the present invention, vitamin B12 can be, for example, cyanocobalamin, adenosylcobalamin, methylcobalamin, hydroxocobalamin, aquacobalamin, etc., but is not limited thereto. Two or more types of vitamin B12 may be used simultaneously, or they may be used alone.
[0034] In the cosmetic capsules of the present invention, water-soluble azulene is, for example, guaiazulene, a derivative of azulene, which is a type of cyclic hydrocarbon classified as a bicyclic sesquiterpene and exhibits anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects.
[0035] In the cosmetic capsule of the present invention, photosensitizer 201, also known as pionin, exhibits a high antibacterial effect against Propionibacterium acnes, a commensal bacterium of the skin.
[0036] In the cosmetic capsule of the present invention, photosensitizer 301 is a cyanine-based dye also known as tacanal, and is a type of cationic emulsifier that exhibits antibacterial and skin-soothing effects.
[0037] In the cosmetic capsule of the present invention, the cosmetic composition may further contain an oil-soluble component, such as vitamin A, oil-soluble vitamin C, vitamin E, cannabidiol, or bakuchiol. Cannabidiol or bakuchiol, in particular, can be used relatively well. These oil-soluble components can be used individually or in combination of two or more as needed, but are not limited thereto.
[0038] In the cosmetic capsules of the present invention, cannabidiol is a type of cannabinoid used in the medical and cosmetic fields, and provides moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects.
[0039] In the cosmetic capsules of the present invention, bakuchiol is a type of meloterpene, a terpenophenol compound, and provides moisturizing and anti-aging effects.
[0040] In the cosmetic capsules of the present invention, an emulsifier is used to form an emulsion of the cosmetic composition. In the present invention, it is preferable to add 0.01 to 3.0% by weight of the emulsifier per 100% by weight of the cosmetic composition, and particularly preferable to 0.2 to 3.0% by weight, as this allows for stable emulsion formation. If the amount of emulsifier is less than 0.01% by weight, the emulsion is easily broken down and stable emulsion formation is not possible, and if it exceeds 3.0% by weight, the viscosity becomes high and emulsion formation is unstable.
[0041] In the cosmetic capsules of the present invention, examples of emulsifiers include octyldodecanol, octyldodeylxyloside, PEG-30 dipolyhydroxystearate, and cetyl PEG / PEG-10 / 1 dimethicone, but are not limited to these, and are not limited to any emulsifier that can form a W / O type emulsion. These emulsifiers can be used individually or in combination of two or more as needed, but are not limited to these.
[0042] In the cosmetic capsules of the present invention, emulsifiers containing three ingredients: octyldodecanol, octyldodecylxylloside, and PEG-30 dipolyhydroxystearate (product name: EASYNOV®, manufactured by SEPPIC SA), or those containing cetyl PEG / PEG-10 / 1 dimethicone (product name: ABIL® EM90, manufactured by Evonik Operations), can be used. These emulsifiers can be used individually or in combination of two or more ingredients as needed, but are not limited thereto.
[0043] An emulsifier can be used to form an emulsion of a cosmetic composition containing at least one component selected from the group consisting of water-soluble components and plant extracts encapsulated in the cosmetic capsule of the present invention, and EASYNOV® (manufactured by SEPPIC SA) or ABIL® EM90 (manufactured by Evonik Operations). Any emulsifier capable of forming a W / O type emulsion is acceptable, and those with an HLB value of 3.0 to 6.0 and that are liquid at room temperature are particularly preferred.
[0044] In the cosmetic capsules of the present invention, KF-6038 (ingredient name: lauryl PEG-9 polydimethylsiloxyethyl dimethicone, manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd., HLB value: 3.0), KF-6028 (ingredient name: PEG-9 polydimethylsiloxyethyl dimethicone, manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd., HLB value: 4.0), and NIKKOL® SI-10RV (ingredient name: sorbitan isostearate, manufactured by Nikko Chemicals Co., Ltd., HLB value: 5.0) can be used as emulsifiers, but they can be used individually or in combination of two or more as needed, although this is not limited thereto.

[0050] The cosmetic capsules of the present invention can also be used by mixing them with, for example, lotions, creams, toners, serums, gels, masks, etc. [Examples]
[0051] The effects of the present invention will be made clearer by describing the present invention in more detail based on the examples. However, the present invention is not limited to these examples. The amounts listed in the table are the amounts of each component (i.e., the amount of the active ingredient in each raw material), and are expressed in "weight %" unless otherwise specified. Also, blank spaces in the amounts in the table indicate that the component is not included.
[0052] The following describes examples of cosmetic capsules of the present invention, but the embodiments are not limited thereto and can be modified as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention. In particular, in these embodiments, a 1% aqueous solution of Blue No. 1 was selected as the cosmetic composition because it is easy to evaluate visually, but it will be easily understood by those skilled in the art that other water-soluble components can be used.
[0053] (Example 1) (1) 89.20 g of purified water, 5.0 g of glycerin, 3.0 g of 1,3-butylene glycol, 0.5 g of 2-phenoxyethanol, and 1.0 g of sodium alginate were stirred until completely dissolved. The resulting solution was designated as Solution A. (2) 0.2 g of EASYNOV (registered trademark) (manufactured by SEPPIC SA) and 0.1 g of KF-6038 (manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.) were mixed together, and 1 g of a 1% aqueous solution of Blue No. 1 was added to the mixture and emulsified. The resulting paste-like liquid was designated as Solution B. (3) While stirring solution A, add solution B and stir. The resulting dropwise solution will be called solution C. (4) Solution C was filled into a dropping needle and added dropwise to 250 g of a 0.4% aqueous solution of calcium chloride (249 g of purified water + 1 g of calcium chloride). After the addition was complete, it was allowed to stand for a sufficient amount of time to form a capsule. (5) Remove the capsules from the reaction solution and place them in 250g of purified water for washing. After washing, place the capsules in another fresh bottle of purified water (external solution).
[0054] By changing the cosmetic composition, emulsifier, type of oil-soluble component, their combination, and the amount added to the cosmetic capsule manufacturing method of Example 1, cosmetic capsules of Examples 2-58 and Comparative Examples 1-10 were also manufactured. The composition of liquid C in the manufacturing of each cosmetic capsule is shown in Tables 1 to 5 below.
[0055] (Evaluation method) During and immediately after the manufacturing of cosmetic capsules, we visually inspected whether the cosmetic composition was contained within the capsules, and after the manufacturing of the cosmetic capsules, we immersed them in purified water (external liquid) and allowed them to stand for 24 hours to confirm whether the cosmetic composition was still retained within the capsules, using a four-point scale.
[0056] Details of each evaluation stage are as follows:
[0057] <Encapsulation properties of cosmetic compositions> We evaluated whether the cosmetic capsules contained the water-soluble components of the cosmetic composition immediately after manufacturing. ◎: No leakage of the cosmetic composition outside the capsule was observed. ○: Leakage of the cosmetic composition outside the capsule was minimal. △: A small amount of leakage of the cosmetic composition outside the capsule was observed, but it was within acceptable limits. ×: The cosmetic composition had leaked outside the capsule.
[0058] <Retention of cosmetic composition> After manufacturing the cosmetic capsules, the capsules were left to stand in purified water (external liquid) for 24 hours. The water-soluble components in the cosmetic composition were then visually inspected to see if they were retained within the capsules. ◎: No color leakage from the cosmetic capsules into the purified water was observed. ○: There was very little color leakage from the cosmetic capsule into the purified water. △: A small amount of color leakage from the cosmetic capsule into the purified water was observed, but it was within acceptable limits. ×: Color had leaked from the cosmetic capsule into the purified water.

As a result, all evaluation items in Example 5 were △ or higher, indicating that the physical properties were suitable for solving the problem of the present invention.
[0071] In Example 6, the proportion of each component relative to the total weight of liquid C was set to 100% by weight. This was done in combination with EASYNOV®, ABIL® EM90, and KF-6038, with each component being blended at 0.10% by weight. Cosmetic capsules were then manufactured and evaluated. As a result, all evaluation items in Example 6 were △ or higher, indicating that the physical properties were suitable for solving the problem of the present invention.
[0072] In Examples 7-9, the proportion of each component was evaluated based on weight, with the entire liquid C being considered as 100% by weight. This was done by combining EASYNOV® and KF-6038 from the formulation in Example 1, and by manufacturing cosmetic capsules so that KF-6038 was present in amounts ranging from 0.01% to 5.0% by weight. As a result, all evaluation items in Examples 7-9 were rated △ or higher, indicating that the physical properties were suitable for solving the problems of the present invention.
[0073] In Example 10, the proportion of each component was evaluated based on weight, with the entire liquid C being 100% by weight. KF-6038 in the formulation of Example 1 was replaced with KF-6028 (PEG-9 polydimethylsiloxyethyl dimethicone, manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.), and cosmetic capsules were manufactured and evaluated. As a result, all evaluation items in Example 10 were △ or higher, indicating that the physical properties were suitable for solving the problem of the present invention.
[0074] In Example 11, the ratio of each component when the entire liquid C is considered to be 100% by weight was changed by replacing KF-6038 with NIKKOL® SI-10RV (sorbitan isostearate, manufactured by Nikko Chemicals Co., Ltd.), and cosmetic capsules were manufactured and evaluated. As a result, all evaluation items in Example 11 were △ or higher, indicating that the physical properties were suitable for solving the problem of the present invention.
[0075] In Examples 12 and 13, the proportion of each component was evaluated based on weight, with the total amount of Solution C being 100% by weight. This was done using a combination of EASYNOV® and KF-6038, with 0.1% and 0.5% by weight of a 1% aqueous solution of Blue No. 1, respectively, and cosmetic capsules were manufactured and evaluated.
