Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a powdery or granular skin cleansing composition which foams well, produces fine foam in large quantities, is less irritating, and is not susceptible to deterioration in quality due to moisture absorption. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, liquid skin cleansers have become more concentrated and compact in consideration of the SDGs. Powdered or granulated body cleansers have also become more common, but compared to liquid skin cleansers, they may have inferior foaming and foam quality, may cause caking due to moisture absorption, and quality issues may not be fully resolved. In Patent Document 1, the soap of saturated fatty acid is made to contain an alkali metal carbonate and / or bicarbonate to improve the foaming performance. However, the soap mainly contains a saturated fatty acid, and may be highly irritating and may have insufficient performance. In Patent Document 2, a powdery cleanser composition with excellent foaming properties is proposed, which contains an N-acyl glutamate and / or a higher fatty acid salt, a polyamino acid, and a neutral amino acid. However, for powdery skin cleansers and granular skin cleansers, further improvements in the speed of foaming, foam quality, and foam volume may be required. Furthermore, Patent Document 3 proposes a powdery or granular skin cleanser composition characterized by containing an N-acyl glutamate and a fatty acid amidoalkyl dimethylamine oxide, which produces foam that is quick to foam and has excellent foam quality. However, as described in Patent Document 3, there is no prior art in which fatty acid amidoalkyl dimethylamine oxide is powdered, and there are no examples of it being incorporated into powdery skin cleansers or granular skin cleansers, possibly because it may be difficult to powderize it. In the examples of Patent Document 3, a commercially available aqueous solution product is dried using a freeze dryer and powdered for evaluation, but this is not always practical and it is sometimes difficult to offer it at an economical price.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2006-241010 A [Patent Document 2] JP 2009-196971 A [Patent Document 3] JP 2016-188177 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In order to solve these problems, the main object of the present invention is to provide a powdery or granular skin cleansing composition that can be provided at an economical price, has good foaming properties, produces a large amount of foam with fine foam texture, is less irritating, and is not susceptible to deterioration in quality due to moisture absorption. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The present inventors have conducted intensive research to solve the above problems, and as a result, have been able to obtain a powdery or granular skin cleansing composition that can be provided at an economical price, has good foaming, fine foam texture, a large amount of foam, and is low in irritation, by using a powdery or granular amidopropyl betaine having a specific alkyl or alkylene group. However, as a result of carrying out a stability evaluation over time to confirm the quality of the powdery or granular skin cleansing composition, it was found that caking may occur due to moisture absorption, and further investigation was carried out to determine the cause. As a result, it was found that there is a correlation between the content of glycerin contained in the powdery or granular amidopropyl betaine having a specific alkyl or alkylene group and the moisture absorption of the powdery or granular skin cleansing composition. That is, the present invention relates to a powdery or granular skin cleansing composition characterized by containing powdery or granular amidopropyl betaine having a specific alkyl or alkylene group and having a glycerin content of 0.5% by weight or less, and a specific powdery or granular anionic surfactant.

[0006] That is, the present invention is as follows. (1) (A) A powdered or granular amidopropyl betaine having a glycerin content of 0.5% by weight or less and represented by the general formula (1). [ka] [In the formula, R represents a linear or branched alkyl group or alkylene group having 7 to 17 carbon atoms.] (B) As a powdered or granular anionic surfactant, at least one selected from the group consisting of N-acyl glutamate, lauroyl sarcosine salt, lauroyl isethionate, and cocoyl isethionate. And the ratio of component (B) to component (A) is 1.0 to 50.0 The powder or granular skin cleansing composition has the following composition: (2) This is a powdery or granular skin cleansing composition according to (1), in which the powdery or granular amidopropyl betaine, which is component (A), is powdery or granular lauramidopropyl betaine. (3) This is a powdery or granular skin cleansing composition according to (1) or (2), in which the powdery or granular anionic surfactant, which is component (B), is a powdery or granular N-acyl glutamate. Effect of the Invention

[0007] According to the present invention, by containing powdered or granular amidopropyl betaine having a specific alkyl or alkylene group and a glycerin content of 0.5% by weight or less, and a specific powdered or granular anionic surfactant, it is possible to provide a powdered or granular skin cleansing composition that foams well, produces fine foam, has a large amount of foam, is less irritating, and does not deteriorate in quality over time, at an economical price. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0008] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. Component (A) is a powdered or granular amidopropyl betaine represented by general formula (1) having a glycerin content of 0.5% by weight or less. [ka] [In the formula, R represents a linear or branched alkyl group or alkylene group having 7 to 17 carbon atoms.] Component (A) is blended into the powdered or granular skin cleansing composition for the purpose of reducing the irritation caused by component (B). As fatty acids which are raw materials for amidopropyl betaine, mixed fatty acids such as coconut oil fatty acid, palm kernel oil fatty acid, etc., and fatty acids having a single carbon number such as lauric acid, myristic acid, etc. can be used either alone or in mixture.

Preferred are lauramidopropyl betaine and cocamidopropyl betaine, and from the standpoint of foaming ability and fine foam texture, lauramidopropyl betaine is particularly preferred.

[0009] In general formula (1), R is a linear or branched alkyl or alkylene group having 7 to 17 carbon atoms, the average number of carbon atoms being 10 to 13, preferably 11 to 12, and more preferably 11. If the average number of carbon atoms is less than 10, the hygroscopicity may be high and the powder may not become smooth. If the average number of carbon atoms is more than 13, the solubility in water may be poor, the powder may remain undissolved during use, and the powder may become rough. Furthermore, if the glycerin content in amidopropyl betaine exceeds 0.5% by weight, caking may occur due to moisture absorption in the powdered or granular skin cleansing composition, and the stability over time may be deteriorated. The glycerin content is more preferably 0.1% by weight or less, and may not be contained at all.

[0010] The amount of the (A) component in the powdered or granular skin cleansing composition is preferably 0.1 to 50.0% by weight, more preferably 1.0 to 20.0% by weight, and even more preferably 3.0 to 15.0% by weight. The (A) component may be used alone or in combination of two or more. In addition, when an effect such as further improvement in the stability of the composition is required, it is preferable to use a desalted purified product of amidopropyl betaine.

[0011] As a method for stably producing powdery or granular amidopropyl betaine in large quantities at low cost, known methods such as spray drying, continuous vacuum drying, drum dryer, and CD dryer can be used.

[0012] Component (B) is a powdered or granular anionic surfactant, and is at least one selected from the group consisting of N-acyl glutamate, lauroyl sarcosine salt, lauroyl isethionate, and cocoyl isethionate. Component (B) is blended in the powdered or granular skin cleanser composition for the purposes of foaming property, cleansing property, etc. Specific examples of N-acyl glutamate include palm fatty acid glutamate, lauroyl glutamate, cocoyl glutamate, myristoyl glutamate, stearoyl glutamate, (coconut fatty acid / palm fatty acid / sunflower fatty acid) glutamate, (coconut fatty acid / hydrogenated beef tallow fatty acid) glutamate, olive oil fatty acid glutamate, capryloyl glutamate, hydrogenated tallow glutamate, horse oil acyl glutamate, horse oil fatty acid glutamate, etc. Specific examples of powdered or granular N-acyl glutamate include palm fatty acid glutamate sodium, lauroyl glutamate sodium, cocoyl glutamate sodium, myristoyl glutamate sodium, myristoyl glutamate potassium, stearoyl glutamate sodium, etc., and preferably palm fatty acid glutamate sodium.

Specific examples of powdered or granular lauroyl isethionate include sodium lauroyl isethionate, etc. Specific examples of powdered or granular cocoyl isethionate include sodium cocoyl isethionate, etc. Among anionic surfactants, N-acyl glutamates are preferred because of their low irritation. Examples of salts of anionic surfactants that can be used include metal salts having sodium atoms, potassium atoms, etc., alkanolamines such as triethanolamine, and basic amino acids such as arginine and lysine.

[0013] The blending amount of the component (B) in the powdery or granular skin cleansing composition is preferably from 0.1 to 99.0% by weight, more preferably from 20.0 to 39.0% by weight, and even more preferably from 25.0 to 37.0% by weight.

[0014] By containing two components, component (A) powdered or granular amidopropyl betaine with a glycerin content of 0.5% by weight or less, and component (B) powdered or granular anionic surfactant, it is possible to provide a powdered or granular skin cleanser composition that foams well, produces fine foam in large quantities, is less irritating, and does not deteriorate in quality over time, at an economical price. By setting the ratio of component (B) / component (A) to 1.0 to 50.0 by weight, the foam texture becomes finer and the amount of foam increases. The ratio is preferably 2.0 to 10.0. If it is less than 1.0, the foaming may become poor and the amount of foam may become small. If it exceeds 50.0, the effect of component (A) in mitigating the irritation of component (B) may be weakened and the irritation may become stronger.
