Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an oily cosmetic used for washing and massaging the skin of the face and body.
Background Art
[0002] Makeup cosmetics and sunscreen cosmetics have the effect of making the skin look beautiful and protecting the skin from external stimuli, and are indispensable in modern social life. However, since these cosmetics contain a large amount of oily components and inorganic pigments, they clog the pores of the skin, hinder metabolism, and the cosmetics themselves are gradually oxidized. Therefore, long-term use may cause skin problems. For this reason, it is necessary to use a cleansing agent once a day to remove these cosmetics.
[0003] From the viewpoint of excellent compatibility with makeup cosmetics, oil-based cleansing agents mainly composed of liquid oils such as liquid paraffin, squalane, and vegetable oils are widely used. Since friction during cleansing may cause skin problems, oil-based cleansing agents with excellent massage properties have been developed. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an oil-based cleansing agent that is easy to massage, has excellent cleansing power, and has an excellent refreshing feeling after rinsing. However, this oil-based cleansing agent may cause friction during rinsing.
[0004] Although oil-based cleansing agents that are easy to massage and have an excellent friction reduction effect while being compatible with makeup cosmetics have been developed, friction may occur during rinsing, and an oil-based cleansing agent that can also reduce friction during rinsing is desired. In particular, from the viewpoint of friction reduction, an oil-based cleansing agent that can be rinsed smoothly without rubbing is preferable. For example, Patent Document 2 discloses an oily cleansing cosmetic that can be rinsed without rubbing after cleansing. However, this oily cleansing cosmetic may have insufficient comfort during application.
[0005] In recent years, there has been a demand to reduce the number of cosmetic items used as much as possible, and there is a desire to add the effects of massage cosmetics to oil-based cleansing products. For massage cosmetics, in addition to massage properties such as smooth application and reduced friction, a pleasant feeling during application is important to enhance relaxation. To improve the pleasant feeling during application, it is necessary to reduce the cold sensation and stickiness during application. However, trying to achieve these can sometimes reduce rinsability, making it difficult to balance pleasant application and rinsability.
[0006] Furthermore, cleansing products are expected to be able to accommodate various usage situations. When used in the bath, excellent rinsing properties are desired, while when used outside the bath, it is desired that the cleansing product can be used by blending it with the makeup and then wiping it off with tissue paper or the like, in order to easily remove makeup from the skin in a short time. With the wiping method, stickiness after wiping becomes a problem. For example, Patent Document 3 discloses an oily cleansing composition that has excellent cleansing power, is easy to wipe off, and does not leave a sticky feeling on the skin afterward. However, when this oily cleansing composition was used by rinsing, its rinsing properties were sometimes insufficient.
[0007] There was a demand for an oil-based cosmetic that combined good rinsing properties when washed off with no stickiness when wiped off, but achieving both good rinsing and no stickiness after wiping was difficult. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]
[0008] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2007-8882 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2019-196337 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-158463 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0009] Currently, no oil-based cosmetic has been developed that offers a pleasant feel and excellent massage properties upon application, excellent rinsing properties when used in the bath, can be washed away without rubbing, and blends well with makeup when used outside the bath, without leaving a sticky residue. The object of the present invention is to provide such an oil-based cosmetic. [Means for solving the problem]
[0010] As a result of diligent research to achieve the above objective, the inventors of the present invention discovered that by selecting specific materials and setting their blending ratio within a specific range, an oily cosmetic composition exhibiting the desired effects can be obtained, thus completing the present invention.
[0011] Based on the above findings, the present invention is an oily cosmetic composition containing the following components (A) to (F): (A) 10 to 25% by mass of polyoxyethylene fatty acid polyhydric alcohol ester having an HLB of 10 to 14 and a polyhydric alcohol with 3 to 6 carbon atoms, (B) 0.5 to 10% by mass of polyoxyethylene polyhydric alcohol having 3 to 6 carbon atoms, (C) 0.5 to 10% by mass of a dihydric alcohol having 3 to 6 carbon atoms. (D) Mono fatty acid sorbitan ester in 1 to 12% by mass, (E) Liquid oil in an amount of 50-80% by mass, (F) Water at 0.1-7% by mass. The above ingredient content figures are based on the total amount of oil-based cosmetics. [Effects of the Invention]
[0012] According to the present invention, an oil-based cosmetic is obtained that offers excellent comfort and massage properties when applied, excellent rinsing properties when used in the bath, can be washed away without rubbing, and when used out of the bath, blends well with makeup and can be wiped off without stickiness. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0013] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. In this specification, numerical ranges defined using the symbol "~" include the values at both ends (upper and lower limits) of "~". For example, "2~5" represents 2 or more and 5 or less.

"Partial ester of fatty acid and polyhydric alcohol" means an ester of fatty acid and polyhydric alcohol in which a hydroxy group derived from the polyhydric alcohol remains. The polyoxyethylene fatty acid polyhydric alcohol ester can be obtained by an esterification reaction of polyoxyethylene polyhydric alcohol and fatty acid or its derivative (acid chloride, etc.), or an addition reaction of ethylene oxide to the partial ester.
[0017] In this specification, "HLB" is an abbreviation for Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance, and its value indicates the balance between the hydrophilicity and lipophilicity (hydrophobicity) of a compound. The HLB of component (A) in this specification is calculated by the following formula according to the Atlas method: HLB = 20×(1 - S / A) (In the formula, S represents the saponification value of component (A), and A represents the acid value of the fatty acid constituting component (A).) It is a value calculated by the above formula. The saponification value of component (A) is a value calculated by the number of milligrams of potassium hydroxide required to saponify 1 gram of component (A), and the acid value of the fatty acid is a value calculated by the number of milligrams of potassium hydroxide required to neutralize 1 gram of the fatty acid. The HLB of esters other than component (A) is also a value calculated by the Atlas method in the same manner as above.
[0018] From the viewpoint of the non-stickiness when rinsing off the oily cosmetic without rubbing, the HLB of component (A) is 10 to 14, preferably 10.5 to 13.5, and more preferably 11 to 13.
[0019] From the perspective of the comfort during the application of the oil-based cosmetic, the average number of moles of oxyethylene groups added to component (A) is preferably 5 to 40, more preferably 6 to 35, and particularly preferably 7 to 30. In this specification, the "average number of moles of oxyethylene groups added to a compound" means the average amount (moles) of oxyethylene groups added per mole of the compound.
[0020] From the perspective of the non-greasy feeling when the oil-based cosmetic is washed off without rubbing, the number of carbon atoms of the fatty acid constituting component (A) is preferably 10 to 22, more preferably 12 to 18.

[0057] [Table 1]
[0058] [Table 2]
[0059] The oil-based cosmetics in Examples 1-14 all offered excellent comfort and massage properties upon application, could be washed off without rubbing, and wiped off without leaving any sticky residue. In contrast, the oil-based cosmetic compositions of Comparative Examples 1-7 did not achieve sufficient performance.
[0060] The oily cosmetic of Comparative Example 1 contained polysorbate 80 with an HLB of 15.7 instead of ingredient (A), resulting in insufficient comfort and massage properties upon application, a slippery feeling when washed off without rubbing, and a sticky feeling when wiped off. Comparative Example 2, lacking ingredient (B), had an unsatisfactory feel upon application, a slippery feeling when rinsed off without rubbing, and a sticky feeling when wiped off.
[0061] The oily cosmetics of Comparative Examples 3 and 4 lacked ingredient (C), resulting in insufficient comfort and massage properties during application. The oily cosmetic in Comparative Example 5 did not contain ingredient (D), and therefore left a sticky feeling when washed off without rubbing. The oily cosmetic in Comparative Example 6 did not contain ingredient (F), and therefore felt sticky when wiped off. Comparative Example 7, an oily cosmetic, contained a high amount of ingredient (F), resulting in insufficient comfort and massage properties during application.
[0062] <Example 15> An oily cosmetic composition was prepared by mixing the ingredients in the amounts shown below, and evaluated in the same manner as in the above examples.
