Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an oil-in-water emulsion composition, preferably an oil-in-water skin care cosmetic composition. [Background technology]

[0002] Providing texture to keratinous materials such as skin is one of the important features of cosmetics, particularly skin cosmetics. Several techniques have been reported so far regarding emulsion compositions or gel-like compositions that provide improved texture.

[0003] For example, WO2018 / 180316 discloses an emulsion cosmetic containing components A to E, in which the content of component A is 0.1 to 1.0% by mass, the content of component B is 0.4% by mass or less, the content of component C is 0.3% by mass or less, and the content of component D is 4.0% by mass or less, the mass ratio of component B to component A (component B / component A) is 0.10 or more, the mass ratio of component C to component A (component C / component A) is 0.02 or more, and the mass ratio of component D to component A (component D / component A) is 0.4 to 7.0, inclusive. Component A is an (acrylate / beheneth-25 methacrylate) copolymer. Component B is a carboxyvinyl polymer and / or an alkyl-modified carboxyvinyl polymer. Component C is xanthan gum. Component D is a phospholipid. Component E is water.

[0004] Furthermore, JP-A-2016-121140 discloses a gel-like cosmetic composition containing a polyacrylic acid-based water-absorbing polymer having an average particle size of 1 to 30 μm and a water absorption ratio of 5 to 50 g / g.

[0005] Furthermore, JP-A-2019-182841 discloses a gel-like cosmetic composition in the form of an oil-in-water type, which contains components (A), (B), (C), (D), and (E), in which the content of component (D) is 0.1 to 1.0% by mass, the content of component (B) is 0.2 to 1.2% by mass, and the mass ratio of the content of component (B) to the content of component (A) [component (B) / component (A)] is 1.0 to 15.0.

[0006] Component (A) is a polymer containing at least structural units derived from (meth)acrylic acid and / or alkyl ether (meth)acrylate and structural units derived from polyoxyethylene alkyl ether (meth)acrylate.

[0007] Component (B) is a polymer containing structural units derived from acryloyldimethyltaurate.

[0008] Component (C) is one or more monoglyceryl fatty acid esters selected from the group consisting of glyceryl monocaprylate, glyceryl monocaprate, glyceryl monolaurate, glyceryl monomyristate, glyceryl monopalmitate, glyceryl monostearate, glyceryl distearate, glyceryl monoisostearate, glyceryl diisostearate, glyceryl monohydroxystearate, glyceryl monooleate, glyceryl monobehenate, and glyceryl dibehenate.

[0009] Component (D) is a fatty alcohol having 12 to 24 carbon atoms.

[0010] Component (E) is water.

[0011] Organic UV filters are widely used in suncare cosmetics to provide UV protection to suncare compositions.However, the use of organic UV filters can have adverse effects, such as causing oily, greasy and sticky feeling during application.Therefore, there is a demand for suncare cosmetic compositions that contain organic UV filters and provide improved texture, such as fresh and refreshing texture.

[Example]

[0220] The present invention will now be described in more detail by way of examples, which should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.

[0221] [Composition] The homogeneous solution compositions of the examples and comparative examples were prepared by mixing the components listed in Table 1 and Table 2. Specifically, in the first step, water and the components in the aqueous phase, i.e., the water-soluble and water-dispersible components, were mixed in water, and the mixture was heated to 75°C to obtain a homogeneous aqueous phase. Oil and the components in the oil phase, i.e., the oil-soluble and oil-dispersible components, were mixed in oil, and the mixture was heated to 75°C to obtain a homogeneous oil phase. The resulting oil phase was added to the aqueous phase, and the mixture was homogenized at 8000 rpm for 10 minutes at 75°C. The mixture was then cooled to below 45°C. Acrylates / Beheneth-25 methacrylate copolymer, sodium polyacrylate, carbomer, and / or ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate / VP copolymer were added, and the mixture was homogenized at 8000 rpm for 10 minutes. Finally, triethanolamine or potassium hydroxide was added, and the mixture was homogenized at 7000 rpm for 5 minutes to obtain an emulsion composition. All values ​​for ingredient amounts shown in Table 1 and Table 2 are based on "mass %" of the active ingredient.

[0222] [Table 1A]

[0223] [Table 1B]

[0224] [Table 2]

[0225] [evaluation] (stability) 50 g of each emulsion composition obtained was placed in a 50 mL glass bottle and kept in an incubator at 55°C for one week. After cooling to room temperature, the appearance of each sample was observed with the naked eye. The stability of each composition was evaluated according to the following criteria.

[0226] Good: The emulsion morphology did not change. Poor: Oil leakage and / or cream separation observed

[0227] (Sticky analysis) The stickiness of each composition was measured using a texture analyzer TA.XT plus (manufactured by Stable Micro System) equipped with a 20 mm aluminum cylinder (P / 20). The measurement conditions were as follows:

[0228] Testing method: Compression Substrate: 30mm x 30mm flat Bioskin Sample: 20 mg of the composition applied evenly to the surface of Bioskin with a finger Probe: 20mm diameter cylinder Test speed: 0.1mm / s Distance: 2mm Force: 150g Count: 100 times

[0229] The average of 100 counts of negative force (g) was determined as the stickiness result, with a lower result meaning the composition became stickier.

[0230] (sensory test) 30 mg of each composition was applied with the fingers to a 30 mm x 30 mm area on and around the forearm of panel members (n=5). The stickiness and fresh, moisturizing sensation of each composition were evaluated according to the following criteria: - Sticky 1: Sticky 2: Slightly sticky 3: It is difficult to determine whether or not the product is sticky. 4: Slightly non-sticky 5: Not sticky at all - Fresh and refreshing feeling 1: No fresh, refreshing feeling at all 2: It lacks a refreshing feeling. 3: I can't tell if there's a fresh, refreshing feeling. 4: Rather refreshing and fresh feeling 5: Has a refreshing and refreshing feeling

[0231] The results are shown in Table 3 below. The results of the sensory test were expressed as the average score of the panel members.

[0232] [Table 3]

[0233] As can be seen from Table 3, the compositions according to the examples comprising a combination of (a) an associative polymer comprising one or more acrylic and / or methacrylic units and (b) a specific thickener of a neutralized poly(meth)acrylic acid polymer according to the invention, despite containing high concentrations of organic UV filters, exhibited an excellent skin feel in terms of stickiness and a fresh, moisturizing sensation.

[0234] On the other hand, the compositions according to the comparative examples, which did not contain the specific combination of (a) an associative polymer containing one or more acrylic and / or methacrylic units and (b) a neutralized poly(meth)acrylic acid polymer of invention 2, did not exhibit the improved fresh and refreshing sensation. In addition, the compositions according to comparative examples 3, 5, 7, and 8, which did not contain a sufficient amount of thickener, failed to exhibit emulsion-like stability.

[0235] Accordingly, it can be concluded that the compositions according to the invention are highly suitable as cosmetic compositions for the care and / or conditioning of keratinous materials such as the skin, since they are able to provide stability during application comparable to that of O / W emulsions and an improved skin feel, and are able to provide good UV protection due to the high concentration of organic UV filters.
