Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a multi-layered cosmetic composition. [Background technology]
[0002] BACKGROUND ART Cosmetics that are applied to the skin and massaged to provide a moderate warming sensation and promote blood circulation are known. For example, Patent Document 1 describes that an oil-in-polyhydric alcohol-based topical composition containing polyether-modified silicone, polyhydric alcohol, oil, and water has excellent usability and warming effect. Patent Document 2 describes that a warming gel cosmetic containing polyethylene glycol with an average degree of polymerization of 4 to 30 and glycerin has a sustained warming effect and is highly safe. On the other hand, multi-layered cosmetics are known that appear to separate into multiple layers when left to stand and are shaken to form a uniformly dispersed state before application to the skin. For example, Patent Document 3 describes that a multi-layered cosmetic containing a specific nonionic surfactant, a polyhydric alcohol, and a specific oil has excellent aesthetics and a good feel when used.

[0035] The multi-layered cosmetic of the present invention can be produced by appropriately mixing the predetermined components, and can be produced by uniformly mixing and dispersing all the components, regardless of the mixing order. For example, the multi-layered cosmetic of the present invention can be produced by a production method including a step of mixing and stirring components (A) to (D) and optional components. When a solid oil is contained, the mixing and stirring step may include a step of mixing and stirring under heating at a temperature equal to or higher than the melting point of the solid oil.
[0036] The multi-layered cosmetic of the present invention is a cosmetic that maintains a multi-layered state of two or more layers, with a polyhydric alcohol layer containing at least components (A), (B), and (C) and an oil layer containing component (D), which are mutually incompatible when left standing, and can be made into a uniformly dispersed state by shaking before use, gradually returning to its original multi-layered state. Examples include a two-layered cosmetic consisting of an oil layer-polyhydric alcohol layer, and a three-layered cosmetic consisting of a powder layer-oil layer-polyhydric alcohol layer.
[0037] The multi-layered cosmetic of the present invention has at least an oil layer and a polyhydric alcohol layer, and in this case, when left standing, the oil layer is present on the opening side (upper side) of the container and the polyhydric alcohol layer is present on the bottom side (lower side) of the container.
[0038] The multi-layered cosmetic composition of the present invention has an excellent aesthetic appearance, and can impart functions such as moisturizing properties, occlusive properties, and skin softening properties to the cosmetic composition due to the polyhydric alcohol and liquid oil. Therefore, it can be used by applying it to the skin, preferably the skin excluding the scalp, and more preferably the face, body, hands, feet, etc., for purposes such as heat retention, anti-aging, whitening, packs, massage, sunscreen, makeup base, foundation, lip balm, cleansing agent, etc., and is therefore suitable as a skin cosmetic composition. In particular, it is suitable for use as a massage cosmetic, pack cosmetic, or beauty serum, as it spreads easily, has smoothness, and provides a warming effect when applied. [Example]
[0039] Examples 1 to 11, Comparative Examples 1 to 6 Two-layer cosmetics were prepared with the compositions shown in Tables 1 and 2, and evaluated for warmth, compatibility with the skin, smoothness, and dispersibility. The results are also shown in Tables 1 and 2.
[0040] (Manufacturing method) While stirring component (C) with a propeller, components (A), (B), other polyhydric alcohols, and purified water were added and dispersed to produce a polyhydric alcohol layer. Sorbitan monostearate was added to the olive oil while stirring with a propeller, and after confirming that it had dissolved, the remaining component (D) was added and dispersed to produce an oil layer. The oil layer was added to the resulting polyhydric alcohol layer to obtain a two-layer cosmetic.
[0041] (Evaluation method) (1) Warmth: After uniformly mixing each two-layer cosmetic product, 0.5g was applied to the entire face and then spread and blended with the entire hand on the area to be treated. The "warmth sensation" upon application was evaluated using the visual analog scale method. A 10cm line was drawn on a blank sheet of paper, and the left end was assigned a no-warmth sensation, while the right end was assigned a very warm sensation. The evaluation was indicated by an arbitrary point. The length from the left end was measured, and the left end was quantified as a number, with 0 being the left end and 10 being the right end. The average value (rounded to one decimal place) of seven expert panelists was calculated.
[0042] (2) Skin compatibility: After uniformly mixing each two-layer cosmetic, 0.5g was applied to the entire face and then spread and blended with the entire hand on the area to be treated. The "skin compatibility" upon application was evaluated using the visual analog scale method. A 10cm line was drawn on a blank sheet of paper, and an arbitrary point was used to indicate the evaluation, with the left end representing no skin compatibility at all and the right end representing very good skin compatibility. The length from the left end was measured and quantified as a number, with the left end being 0 and the right end being 10. The average value (rounded to one decimal place) of seven expert panelists was calculated.
[0043] (3) Slipperiness: After uniformly mixing each two-layer cosmetic, 0.5g was applied to the entire face and then spread and blended with the entire hand on the area to be treated. The "smoothness" during application was evaluated using the visual analog scale method. A 10cm line was drawn on a blank sheet of paper, and the left end was marked with no feeling of smoothness, while the right end was marked with an arbitrary point, indicating a feeling of very smoothness. The length from the left end was measured, and the left end was quantified as a number, with 0 being the left end and 10 being the right end. The average value (rounded to one decimal place) of seven expert panelists was calculated.
[0044] (4) Dispersibility: Immediately after production, the multi-layered cosmetic was shaken up and down (shaking width of 15 cm, shaking speed of 10 times / 5 seconds) in a thermostatic bath at 25°C, and the degree of dispersion immediately after shaking was visually evaluated according to the following criteria. ◯: A uniform dispersion was confirmed within 10 shakings. △: A uniform dispersion state was confirmed after shaking more than 10 times and less than 20 times. ×: A uniform dispersion was not achieved within 20 shakings.
