Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a cosmetic preparation comprising zinc oxide. [Background technology]

[0002] Excessive sebum secretion causes shine and stickiness. Furthermore, mixing of the excess sebum with makeup cosmetic ingredients can cause makeup to break down over time. To prevent these problems, it is known to incorporate zinc oxide or the like to solidify sebum and suppress shine and sebum breakdown. For this purpose, zinc oxide is generally incorporated into a powder or is incorporated into an oil phase in a hydrophobic state. Under these circumstances, there is a demand for cosmetics that have a high sebum solidification effect and also have a refreshing feel.

[0003] Zinc oxide is also known as a sunscreen. Patent Document 1 proposes that zinc oxide can be stably incorporated into an aqueous phase by combining an inorganic powder such as zinc oxide with a specific surfactant having an HLB of 9.5 or less. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2016-74660 A Summary of the Invention

[0005] Dextrin fatty acid-treated zinc oxide is known to have a sebum solidifying effect, but it has been found that when it is added to an aqueous phase, it causes aggregation. The present inventors have surprisingly found that by combining dextrin fatty acid-treated zinc oxide with a hydrocarbon nonionic surfactant having an HLB of 10 or more and dispersing zinc oxide in an aqueous phase, it is possible to obtain a cosmetic composition having a high sebum solidification effect and a good moisturizing feeling. The present invention is based on these findings.

[0006] According to the present invention, the following inventions are provided. (1) A cosmetic comprising (A) dextrin fatty acid-treated zinc oxide, (B) a hydrocarbon-based nonionic surfactant having an HLB of 10 or more, and (C) water, (A) A cosmetic preparation in which dextrin fatty acid-treated zinc oxide is dispersed in an aqueous phase. (2) (B) The cosmetic according to (1), wherein the hydrocarbon-based nonionic surfactant having an HLB of 10 or more is selected from the group consisting of polyglycerin fatty acid esters, fatty acid polyoxyethylene glyceryl esters, sorbitan fatty acid esters, and polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers. (3) A cosmetic according to (1) or (2), in which (A) the dextrin fatty acid-treated zinc oxide is dextrin palmitate-treated zinc oxide. (4) The cosmetic preparation according to any one of (1) to (3), further comprising (D) an anionic surfactant. (5) The cosmetic according to any one of (1) to (4), wherein the blending amount of (A) dextrin fatty acid-treated zinc oxide is 1 to 20 mass % relative to the total amount of the cosmetic. (6) A cosmetic according to any one of (1) to (5), in which the blending amount of (B) the hydrocarbon-based nonionic surfactant with an HLB of 10 or more is 0.1 to 5 mass % relative to the total amount of the cosmetic. (7) A cosmetic preparation according to any one of (1) to (6), in which the mass ratio of (A) dextrin fatty acid-treated zinc oxide to (B) a hydrocarbon-based nonionic surfactant having an HLB of 10 or higher is 1:0.05 to 1:0.3. (8) The cosmetic according to (4), wherein the blending amount of (D) anionic surfactant is 0.05 to 2% by mass relative to the total amount of the cosmetic. (9) The cosmetic according to any one of (1) to (8), which is an oil-in-water cosmetic.

[0007] The cosmetic composition according to the present invention has an excellent sebum solidification effect, can effectively suppress shine and makeup smearing, and can also achieve a good feeling of freshness.

[0008] The present invention relates to a cosmetic preparation comprising (A) dextrin-treated zinc oxide with a fatty acid, (B) a hydrocarbon-based nonionic surfactant having an HLB of 10 or more, and (C) water, in which (A) dextrin-treated zinc oxide with a fatty acid is dispersed in the aqueous phase (hereinafter, this may be referred to as the cosmetic preparation).

[0009] (A) Dextrin fatty acid treated zinc oxide The cosmetic preparation according to the present invention comprises dextrin fatty acid-treated zinc oxide (hereinafter sometimes referred to as component (A), and the same applies to other components). One of the characteristics of the present invention is that component (A) is dispersed in an aqueous phase.

[0010] Component (A) is formed by treating the surface of zinc oxide with dextrin and fatty acid. By treating the surface with dextrin and fatty acid, the sebum solidifying effect is significantly improved. The fatty acid of the dextrin and fatty acid-treated zinc oxide is preferably a fatty acid having 12 to 18 carbon atoms. Component (A) is more preferably zinc oxide treated with dextrin palmitate. The treatment method is not particularly limited, but for example, zinc oxide treated with dextrin and fatty acid can be produced by mixing and stirring zinc oxide in fatty acid dextrin for a certain period of time and then filtering the mixture.

[0011] The average particle size of component (A) is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 to 5,000 nm. Note that the average particle size in the present invention refers to the average primary particle size, and can be determined, for example, from image analysis using a transmission electron microscope as the arithmetic mean of the major and minor axes of the particles. There are no particular limitations on the particle shape of component (A), and it may be spherical, plate-like, crushed, or the like.

[0012] The blending amount of dextrin-fatty acid-treated zinc oxide is preferably 1 to 20 mass %, more preferably 2 to 10 mass %, relative to the total amount of the cosmetic.

[0013] (B) Hydrocarbon-based nonionic surfactants with an HLB of 10 or higher The cosmetic composition according to the present invention comprises a hydrocarbon-based nonionic surfactant having an HLB of 10 or more. The HLB of component (B) is 10 or more, preferably 11 to 19, and more preferably 12 to 18. In the present invention, the HLB (Hydrophile-Lipophile Balance) of component (B) can be determined by the Griffin method.

[0014] Since it tends to be difficult to stably incorporate component (A) into an aqueous phase, it has conventionally been incorporated into an oil phase. The present inventors have surprisingly discovered that by combining component (A) and component (B), component (A) can be stably incorporated into an aqueous phase. In order to fully exert these effects, it is preferable from the viewpoint of dispersion uniformity and dispersion stability to prepare the cosmetic of the present invention by first dispersing component (A), component (B), and, if desired, component (D), which will be described later, in water to produce a dispersion, and then combining this dispersion with optional components to prepare the cosmetic.
