AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing cosmetic powders struggle to provide a combination of good touch and slipperiness during application, while also imparting a moist feeling without squeaking, and are limited in their ability to be surface-treated on various powders such as corn starch.

Method used

A powder is created by pulverizing and mixing corn starch with N-lauroyl lysine or N-octanoyl lysine under specific conditions, resulting in the surface attachment of these components to the corn starch, which enhances the powder's feel and slipperiness while imparting a moist sensation.

Benefits of technology

The resulting powder achieves excellent feel and slipperiness during application, imparts a moist feeling, and eliminates squeaking, while being applicable to a wide range of powders including corn starch.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a powder for improving touch and a cosmetic containing the powder.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, for the purpose of improving the touch and slipperiness during application, spherical polymer powders such as nylon powder (see, for example, Patent No. 2653990) and acrylic powder (see, for example, Patent No. 3027008) are blended into cosmetics. In particular, although spherical nylon powder has a good unique touch and slipperiness during application due to the rolling feeling peculiar to spheres, there are problems such as generating a squeak derived from the synthetic polymer resin on the skin and being unable to impart a moist feeling. On the other hand, ε Techniques such as blending N-mono long-chain acyl basic amino acids typified by N-lauroyl lysine into cosmetics as cosmetic powders to impart a unique moist feeling have been devised (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-10503). However, although this N-mono long-chain acyl basic amino acid has excellent elongation on the skin during application, there is a problem that the touch and slipperiness during application due to the rolling feeling like spherical nylon powder are poor. N ε N-lauroyl lysine may be used as a surface treatment agent to improve the touch of talc (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-252113). However, in order to produce powders such as talc surface-treated with N-lauroyl lysine having high water repellency, adhesiveness, and transparency, N-lauroyl lysine must be dissolved in a strong alkali or strong acid once and precipitated on the powder surface. Industrially, powders that can be surface-treated with N-lauroyl lysine were limited to powders having acid- and alkali-resistance, special shapes, and specific functional groups such as talc and mica. Powders such as corn starch could not be surface-treated with N-lauroyl lysine by such a method. ε -lauroyl lysine ε -lauroyl lysine ε -lauroyl lysine ε -lauroyl lysine

Here, the presence of the one or more components on the surface of the elastic powder means that the one or more components may be present, such as being adhered, on at least a part of the surface of the elastic powder, and the mode thereof is not particularly limited.

The average particle size and the particle size of 90% of the cumulative frequency of all particles can be measured using a laser diffraction / scattering particle size distribution measuring device. The powder of the present invention is preferably spherical. Here, "spherical" does not necessarily mean only a perfect sphere, but means those in which the cross-sectional shape of the particle is surrounded by a curved surface such as a circle, an ellipse, a nearly circle, or a nearly ellipse.

[0008] The cosmetic of the present invention contains a powder containing one or more components of N 5 ~5×10 10 N / m 2 on the surface of an elastic powder having an elastic modulus of ε -lauroyl lysine and N ε -octanoyl lysine.

Examples

[0009] <Example 1> N ε 4 g of N-lauroyl lysine (Ajinomoto Co., Inc., Amihope (registered trademark) LL) and 16 g of corn starch (Nippon Shokuhin Kako Co., Ltd., Corn Starch W) were weighed into an alumina ball mill container with a volume of 1 L. 660 g of alumina balls with a diameter of 2.0 cm and 600 g of alumina balls with a diameter of 1.0 cm were put into this container, and pulverized and mixed at 100 rpm for 15 hours to obtain spherical powder with N-lauroyl lysine attached to the surface. ε -lauroyl lysine adhered to obtain spherical powder. Confirmation that N-lauroyl lysine adhered to the surface was visually observed with an optical microscope (manufactured by HIROX, RH-2000 digital microscope), ε and it was confirmed that N-lauroyl lysine adhered to the surface of the spherical particles peculiar to corn starch (Figs. 1 and 2). The elastic modulus of the corn starch was 2.9×10 ε N / m 8 N / m 2It was. The elastic modulus of the elastic powder was calculated by the following formula from the particle diameter measured one by one with an optical microscope, the cross-sectional area calculated from the particle diameter assuming the particle cross-section as a circle, the test force calculated by a micro compression tester (manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation, MCT-510), and the compression displacement (deformation amount). The value of the elastic modulus is the average value of n = 5. Elastic modulus = σ÷ε=(P÷A)÷(λ÷L) σ: Vertical stress P: Test force A: Particle cross-sectional area ε: Strain λ: Compression displacement (deformation amount) L: Particle diameter Also, when the arithmetic mean particle diameter was measured by the dry method using a laser diffraction / scattering particle size distribution measuring device (manufactured by Horiba, Ltd., LA-950), the average particle diameter was 12 μm, and the particle diameter at a cumulative frequency of 90% of all particles was 20 μm. The arithmetic mean particle diameter is expressed by the following formula. Arithmetic mean particle diameter (μm) = Σ{q(J)×X(J)}÷Σ{q(J)} J: Particle diameter division number q(J): Frequency distribution value (%) X(J): Representative diameter (μm) of the J-th particle diameter range

[0010] <Example 2> Spherical powder with N- ε -lauroyllisine attached to the surface was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the pulverization and mixing time was changed to 5 hours. The average particle diameter was 12 μm, and the particle diameter at a cumulative frequency of 90% of all particles was 19 μm.

[0011] <Example 3> Spherical powder with N- ε -lauroyllisine attached to the surface was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the pulverization and mixing time was changed to 64 hours. The average particle diameter was 13 μm, and the particle diameter at a cumulative frequency of 90% of all particles was 22 μm.

[0012] <Example 4> Spherical powder particles with N-lauroyl lysine adhered to the surface were obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the pulverization and mixing time was changed to 120 hours. ε The average particle size was 15 μm, and the particle size at a cumulative frequency of 90% of all particles was 25 μm.

[0013] <Comparative Example 1> N ε The particle size distribution of N-lauroyl lysine (Ajinomoto Co., Inc., Amihope® LL) was measured. The average particle size was 17 μm, and the particle size at a cumulative frequency of 90% of all particles was 26 μm.

[0014] <Comparative Example 2> The particle size distribution of corn starch (Nippon Shokuhin Kako Co., Ltd., Corn Starch W) was measured. The average particle size was 20 μm, and the particle size at a cumulative frequency of 90% of all particles was 30 μm.

[0015] <Comparative Example 3> N ε 4 g of N-lauroyl lysine (Ajinomoto Co., Inc., Amihope® LL) and 16 g of corn starch (Nippon Shokuhin Kako Co., Ltd., Corn Starch W) were weighed into a 50 mL glass vial and shaken by hand 200 times, and then the particle size distribution was measured. The average particle size was 21 μm, and the particle size at a cumulative frequency of 90% of all particles was 32 μm.

[0016] The average particle sizes and the particle sizes at a cumulative frequency of 90% of all particles of the powders of Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 are summarized in Table 1. From Table 1, it can be seen that the average particle size has become smaller by pulverization and mixing using a ball mill. Also, from the results of Examples 1 to 4, the average particle size increases as the pulverization and mixing time becomes longer. From this, it is considered that by increasing the pulverization and mixing time, more N-lauroyl lysine adheres to the particle surface. ε
