Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a two-layer sunscreen cosmetic. [Background technology]

[0002] BACKGROUND ART In order to protect the skin from the adverse effects of ultraviolet rays, sunscreen cosmetics containing various ultraviolet absorbers have been developed. In particular, Patent Document 1 describes an oil-in-water type UV protective cosmetic composition containing an organic UV absorber, silicone oil, and an acrylic acid-based water-soluble polymer.

[0003] Furthermore, the ability to spray as a mist is useful in terms of ease of application, and emulsion compositions that can be sprayed as a mist have also been proposed (Patent Document 2). Furthermore, since reapplication is often required to maintain the UV absorption effect, the ability to spray as a mist is convenient for carrying around and reapplication, and consumer needs are increasing. As such an emulsion composition that can be sprayed as a mist and has a high UV absorption effect, an emulsion composition containing an oil-soluble UV absorber, an acrylic acid-based water-soluble polymer thickener, and a nonionic surfactant has been proposed (Patent Document 3). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 7-89834 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-151901 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-199689 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, the emulsion composition described in Patent Document 3 has an upper emulsion layer and a lower aqueous layer, which means that when powder is blended in, caking is likely to occur, posing problems with the redispersibility of the powder. Therefore, the objective of the present invention is to provide a two-layer sunscreen cosmetic that has an upper aqueous layer and a lower emulsion layer containing powder, which can be easily redispersed even when powder is blended in, is non-sticky, and can be sprayed in a mist. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] A two-layer sunscreen cosmetic comprising (A) to (D). (A) Organic UV absorber (B) Volatile silicone oil (C) Lipophilic powder with an average particle size of 5.0 to 20 μm (D) Polyvinylpyrrolidone [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] The two-layer sunscreen cosmetic of the present invention has an upper layer that is an aqueous layer and a lower layer that is an emulsion layer containing powder, and thereby exhibits the effects that even if powder is incorporated, it can be easily redispersed, is non-sticky, and can be sprayed in a mist. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0009] The two-layer sunscreen cosmetic of the present invention contains the following (A) to (D) as essential components. (A) Organic UV absorber (B) Volatile silicone oil (C) Lipophilic powder with an average particle size of 5.0 to 20 μm (D) Polyvinylpyrrolidone

[0010] The two-layer sunscreen cosmetic of the present invention has an appearance in which the emulsion layer containing the powder is separated into a lower layer and an aqueous layer containing the aqueous component is separated into an upper layer.

[0011] Although the two-layer sunscreen cosmetic of the present invention is separated, it can be easily mixed uniformly at the time of use.

[0012] The two-layer sunscreen cosmetic of the present invention can be sprayed in the form of a mist using a dispenser, etc. In the present invention, the term "sprayable in the form of a mist" does not apply to aerosols.
