Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to an aqueous cosmetic preparation. [Background technology]
[0002] Cosmetics are required to give smoothness to the skin after application. "Smoothness" refers to the uniform and smooth feeling that the skin feels when touched after applying the cosmetic. "Smooth skin" is one of the keywords that evokes the image of beautiful skin, and the development of cosmetics that give smoothness to the skin is desired by many people. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes an external skin preparation that contains 1) one or more types selected from high-viscosity or solid silicones, and 2) an acrylic acid / alkyl methacrylate (C10-30) copolymer, and that has a moisturizing effect while also improving the morphology of the skin, such as by imparting smoothness. The skin topical preparation described in Patent Document 1 forms a film with 1) silicone and 2) acrylic polymer, and this film provides smoothness. Although there is no description of skin compatibility, this combination of polymer components is not considered to be an agent with excellent skin compatibility, and it is difficult to achieve a high level of smoothness, skin compatibility, and non-stickiness. In addition, although it is described that it provides moisturizing properties, the moisturizing feeling was insufficient. Note that "skin compatibility" refers to the feeling that the applied cosmetic material disappears smoothly from the skin. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0022] Each component was mixed with stirring to obtain an aqueous cosmetic preparation according to the composition in Tables 1 to 3 (the numerical values for the blending amounts indicate mass %). The obtained cosmetics were evaluated by the following methods, and the results are shown in Tables 1 to 3.
[0023] <Evaluation method> A panel of three experts conducted a sensory evaluation of each cosmetic product immediately after applying about 0.3 mL of each product to the inside of the forearm, using the following scoring system, and gave scores as follows. A score of △ or higher was considered to be a pass. Smoothness Smoothness refers to the uniform and smooth sensation felt when touching the skin after applying a cosmetic product to the skin, and is the opposite sensation to friction or a squeaky feeling. ◎: Feels extremely smooth. ○: Feels smooth. △: Feels slightly smooth. ×: Does not feel smooth. -Skin familiarity Skin compatibility is the sensation of cosmetics being absorbed and soaked into the skin when applied to the skin. After a certain time has passed since application, there is no sense of residual liquid, which is different from the feeling that the cosmetic is being repelled. It is a contradictory feeling. ◎: Very good compatibility with skin. ○: Blends well with skin. △: Blends well with the skin. ×: Not compatible with skin.
[0024] - Non-sticky Stickiness is the sticky feeling that you feel when you touch your skin after applying cosmetics to it for a certain period of time. Or it refers to a sticky residual feeling. ◎: Does not feel sticky. ○: Almost no stickiness is felt. △: Feels slightly sticky. ×: Feels sticky. Moisturizing feeling Moisturizing sensation refers to the moist feeling you get when you touch your skin after applying cosmetics. It is. ◎: Feels very moisturizing. 〇: Feels moisturizing. △: Slight moisturizing sensation. ×: No moisturizing sensation.
[0025] ·SEM image observation A piece of black artificial leather cut to a 1.5 cm x 1.5 cm square was attached to the bottom of a 3.3 cm diameter plastic cup, and 6.4 g of each water-based cosmetic was poured onto the artificial leather. The cup was then left to stand in an open-system thermostatic chamber at 50°C for one day to form a coating. Thereafter, the formed coating was observed by SEM and evaluated according to the following criteria. ◎: The unevenness of the artificial leather is completely invisible. Good: The unevenness of the artificial leather is barely visible. △: The unevenness of the artificial leather is slightly visible. ×: The unevenness of the artificial leather is clearly visible.
[0026] [Table 1]
[0027] [Table 2]
[0028] [Table 3]
[0029] The aqueous cosmetic composition of the present invention containing components (A) to (D) was able to achieve the three characteristics of smoothness, skin compatibility, and non-stickiness, and also had excellent moisturizing properties. In addition, SEM images confirmed that a smooth coating without unevenness was formed. The aqueous cosmetic preparations obtained in the comparative examples that did not contain any of the components (A) to (D) were inferior in at least one of smoothness, compatibility with the skin, and non-stickiness.
