Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a cleansing cream. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, cleansing cosmetics for removing sebum stains and makeup cosmetics from the skin include a variety of types, including oil-based products containing liquid oil as the main ingredient, cream-, emulsion-, and gel-based products in which oily components are emulsified with surfactants, and even lotion- and aqueous gel-based products containing no or only trace amounts of oily components. Of these, proposed cleansing cosmetics that emulsify oily components include cleansing cosmetics that contain a paste-like oil component to improve the feel when used (Patent Documents 1 and 2) and cleansing cosmetics that contain a relatively large amount of oily components to enhance the cleansing effect (Patent Documents 3 to 5).

[0003] Creamy or gel-like O / W emulsions containing a relatively large amount of oily ingredients retain their shape when first applied to the skin, but sometimes undergo a phase inversion from O / W to W / O as they are spread on the skin and blended with makeup cosmetics. This phase inversion releases the oily ingredients contained within, improving compatibility with the makeup cosmetics and providing the advantage of making it easier to determine when they have blended with the makeup cosmetics. Cleansing creams that take advantage of this phase inversion include cleansing cosmetics that combine a sorbitan-based nonionic surfactant, an N-acylamino acid surfactant, liquid oil, water, and an ester of dipentaerythritol and a hydroxy fatty acid or polyhydroxy fatty acid (Patent Document 6), and oil-in-water emulsion cosmetics that contain a dextrin fatty acid ester with a high proportion of specific branched saturated fatty acids, specific oils, and surfactants (Patent Document 7).

[0013] The cleansing cream of the present invention contains 2 to 8 mass % of (B) a nonionic surfactant having an HLB value of 12 or more.

[0014] Here, the HLB value (Hydphile-Lipophile Balance) in the present invention is an index showing the balance of hydrophilicity and lipophilicity, and is calculated by Oda and Teramura et al. using the following formula (1): HLB value = inorganic value (IV) / organic value (OV) × 10 (Equation 1) (See Yoshio Koda, "Organic Conceptual Diagram - Fundamentals and Applications", pp. 11-17, Sankyo Publishing, 1984)

[0015] The nonionic surfactant having an HLB value of 12 or more used in the present invention may be any surfactant commonly used in cosmetics, such as polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid ester, polyglycerin fatty acid ester, polyoxyethylene fatty acid ester, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, and polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil.

[0016] Examples of polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters include POE (80) sorbitan monolaurate (HLB value 19.0), POE (20) sorbitan monolaurate (HLB value 16.9), POE (6) sorbitan monolaurate (HLB value 15.5), POE (20) sorbitan monopalmitate (HLB value 15.6), and POE (20) sorbitan monostearate (HLB value 14.9).

[0020] The cleansing cream of the present invention contains 0.5 to 6 mass% of component (D), a higher alcohol having 8 to 30 carbon atoms. Such higher alcohols are linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon monohydric alcohols, and may be used singly or in combination of two or more. Specific examples include caprylyl alcohol, capryl alcohol, lauryl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, hexyldecanol, stearyl alcohol, isostearyl alcohol, oleyl alcohol, octyldodecanol, arachyl alcohol, behenyl alcohol, carnaubin alcohol, and ceryl alcohol. Among these higher alcohols, one or more selected from cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, arachyl alcohol, and behenyl alcohol are preferably used, with behenyl alcohol being most preferred from the viewpoint of emulsion stability.

[0021] The amount of such higher alcohol to be blended is 0.5 to 6% by mass relative to the total amount of the cleansing cream. If it is less than 0.5% by mass, stability over time cannot be maintained, and if it exceeds 6% by mass, the cleansing cream will be sticky when rinsed off.

[0022] The cleansing cream of the present invention contains component (E): tocopheryl phosphate and / or its salt. The tocopheryl phosphate and / or its salt used in the present invention can be synthesized from tocopherol by a conventional method, and reference can be made to Japanese Patent Publication Nos. 61-20583 and 3-32558. These can be selected from α, β, γ, δ types, or d, l, and dl types.

[0023] In the present invention, in addition to tocopheryl phosphate, salts of tocopheryl phosphate can also be used. The type of salt is not limited, but alkali metal salts such as sodium and potassium, and alkaline earth metal salts such as calcium and magnesium are generally used. In particular, it is preferable to use TPNa (registered trademark) (manufactured by Showa Denko K.K.), which is tocopheryl phosphate sodium salt.

[0024] The amount of tocopheryl phosphate and / or its salt (Component (E)) used in the present invention varies depending on the dosage form and the desired effect, but is usually 0.01% by mass or more, preferably 0.1 to 10% by mass. If it is less than 0.01% by mass, the phase inversion rate adjusting effect may not be sufficient.

[0025] The cleansing cream of the present invention contains a polyhydric alcohol (component (F)). Any polyhydric alcohol commonly used in cosmetics may be used. Specific examples of polyhydric alcohols include 1,2-propanediol (propylene glycol), 1,3-butanediol (BG), 3-methyl-1,3-butanediol (isoprene glycol), 1,2-pentanediol, 1,2-hexanediol, 2,4-hexanediol, 1,2-octanediol, glycerin, dipropylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, diglycerin, and sugars such as sucrose, erythritol, sorbitol, xylitol, maltitol, and glycosyl trehalose. Among these, it is preferable to contain one or more selected from glycerin 1,3-butanediol, glycosyl trehalose, and dipropylene glycol.

[0026] The cleansing cream of the present invention preferably contains 30 to 65% by mass of the combined components (F) and (G). If the combined amount of components (F) and (G) is less than 30% by mass, the cleansing cream may feel sticky or a stable cleansing cream may not be obtained. If the combined amount exceeds 65% by mass, a satisfactory cleansing effect may not be obtained.

[0027] In addition to the essential and optional components described above, the cleansing cream of the present invention may contain optional components used in ordinary cosmetics and quasi-drugs to the extent that the effects of the present invention are not impaired. Specific examples of such optional components include oily components other than those described above, surfactants, thickeners, preservatives, fragrances, moisturizers, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory agents, and antibacterial agents.
