Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a composition for external skin preparation. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, one of the main functions required for skin care products is "anti-aging," and various drugs that exert anti-aging effects have been proposed. Among these drugs, nicotinamide and retinol palmitate have attracted attention as ingredients with excellent anti-aging effects, and the number of products that use both ingredients in combination is increasing.

[0003] However, when nicotinamide and retinol palmitate are used in combination in a large amount in a formulation, it can exert a significantly excellent anti-aging effect, but on the other hand, there are problems such as precipitation due to nicotinamide and odor easily caused by retinol palmitate. Therefore, it is not possible to incorporate a large amount of both components, nicotinamide and retinol palmitate, in the formulation, and the desired anti-aging effect cannot be fully exerted.

[0004] To solve these problems, a skin topical composition has been proposed that combines a specific skin-forming polymer having a silicone structure with a specific amount of a wrinkle-improving component such as retinol or nicotinamide (see, for example, Patent Document 1). However, a skin topical composition using such a skin-forming polymer having a silicone structure has the drawbacks of feeling heavy when applied and being more sticky due to poor spreadability on the skin.

[0005] On the other hand, a skin external preparation that combines specific amounts of nicotinamide, a salt-resistant water-soluble polymer, retinol or a derivative thereof, and a polyhydric alcohol has also been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 2). Although this attempt can suppress the precipitation of nicotinamide and the foul odor of retinol palmitate, it has drawbacks such as poor spreadability on the skin, stickiness, and difficulty in obtaining a satisfactory usability.

The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2. The amounts of ingredients in the tables are all values ​​converted to pure contents.

[0054] (Test Example 1: Storage stability of the formulation) Each sample obtained in the Examples and Comparative Examples was filled into a 50 mL glass mayonnaise bottle, which was then stored in a thermostatic chamber at 40° C. for 4 weeks, after which the presence or absence of "precipitation" or "off-odor" was confirmed.

[0055] The presence or absence of precipitation was determined by preparing a pair of transparent glass slides, dispensing 0.02 g of each sample onto one of the slides, sandwiching it with the remaining slide, and rubbing the two slides together to spread the sample. The presence of precipitates in the sample was visually confirmed and evaluated according to the following criteria.

[0056] <Evaluation criteria for the presence or absence of precipitation> ○ (Good): No precipitates observed △ (insufficient): A small amount of precipitate is observed. × (bad): Obvious precipitates are observed

[0057] The presence or absence of an unpleasant odor was evaluated by smelling each sample directly from the mouth of the mayonnaise bottle to confirm whether or not there was an odor of rancidity, and the odor was evaluated according to the following criteria.

[0058] <Evaluation criteria for the presence or absence of strange odors> ○ (Good): No strange odors detected △ (poor): A slight rancid smell is detectable × (bad): The smell of rancidity is clearly detectable.

[0059] (Test Example 2: Evaluation upon application) A usage test was carried out by applying 0.1 g of each sample obtained in the Examples and Comparative Examples to the back of the hand, and a sensory evaluation was carried out on the "skin compatibility" and "spreadability" at the time of application, as well as the "moisturizing feeling" and "non-sticky feeling" of the skin 10 minutes after application, and the results were scored according to the following evaluation points of 1 to 5. Each evaluation was carried out by five expert evaluators, and the average score was calculated from the evaluation results of each evaluator and determined according to the following criteria.

[0060] In addition, in the evaluation of "skin compatibility," a product that felt like it was penetrating into the skin was given a high score. In the evaluation of "spreadability," a product that spreads softly and smoothly was given a high score. In the evaluation of "moisturizing feel," a product that felt like it moisturized the skin was given a high score. In the evaluation of "non-sticky feel," a product that felt smooth and not sticky was given a high score.

[0061] <Evaluation criteria> 5 points: Very good 4 points: Good 3 points: normal 2 points: Defective 1 point: Very poor

[0062] <Judgment criteria> ◎: Average 4.0 points or more ○: Average 3.0 points or more and less than 4.0 points △: Average 2.0 points or more and less than 3.0 points ×: Average score below 2.0

[0063] [Table 1]

[0064] [Table 2]

[0065] From the results shown in Tables 1 and 2, it can be seen that the compositions for external preparations for skin of the present invention obtained in each Example, compared with those obtained in each Comparative Example, do not show either precipitation due to the above-mentioned component A or odor caused by the above-mentioned component B, and have good storage stability of the preparation.
