Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a fragrance composition. More specifically, the present invention relates to a fragrance composition that can suppress a specific base odor and exhibit a good cherry blossom-like fragrance by combining specific fragrance compositions, and a detergent composition or a cosmetic composition containing this fragrance composition.

Background Art

[0002] In the field of cosmetics, masking unpleasant odors using various fragrances during product manufacturing is a widely applied general technique (see Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2).

[0003] The above masking technique is also applied to the field of detergent compositions such as shampoos and body soaps, and plays a major role in reducing the raw material odor of products and improving their palatability. In particular, since the surfactants used as the main components of detergent compositions have a specific odor, it is common to use fragrances to mask this odor when using the detergent composition (see Patent Document 1).

[0004] N-acyl sarcosine salts and cationized polymers are used in various technical fields such as detergents (see, for example, Patent Document 2), and are widely used as bases for cosmetics because of their good detergency and foaming properties. However, since N-acyl sarcosine salts are composed of fatty acids, they have a specific fatty acid-like odor. In addition, they have a high blending amount and a strong base odor as detergents and cosmetics. Cationized polymers also have an amine odor characteristic of cationic groups. Conventionally, various attempts have been made to mask these base odors (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

[0005] On the other hand, in recent years, products having a cherry blossom-like fragrance have been proposed in a wide range, including bath agents, shampoos, body soaps, and body creams. Among them, technologies that can mask a specific base odor, mask it with a cherry blossom-specific fragrance, and exhibit a good fragrance persistence are still under research, and are an area expected for future technological development.

[Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0008] The present invention has been made in view of the above, and the object of the present invention is to provide a fragrance composition that masks odors caused by surfactants and cationic cappolymers and has a pleasant cherry blossom-like fragrance, and a detergent composition or cosmetic composition containing the fragrance composition. It is about doing it. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] In view of the above circumstances, the inventors conducted diligent research and found that a fragrance composition combining specific components and a cleaning agent containing said fragrance composition can achieve the above objectives, thus completing the present invention. That is, the present invention is as follows.

[0010] The first invention in this invention is a fragrance composition containing the following components (A) and (B), wherein the mass ratio of (A) to (B) is (A):(B)=1:50 to 50:1. (A) Benzaldehyde or anisaldehyde (B) Benzyl alcohol or anise alcohol

[0011] Preferably, the fragrance composition is a fragrance composition for suppressing odors caused by N-acyl sarcosine salts and / or cationized polymers, or a fragrance composition having a cherry blossom-like fragrance.

[0012] The second invention in the present invention is a detergent composition or cosmetic composition containing the fragrance composition. Preferably, the detergent composition or cosmetic composition contains 0.001 to 1.0% by mass of the fragrance composition. [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] The present invention provides a fragrance composition that masks odors caused by surfactants and cationic cappolymers while having a pleasant cherry blossom-like scent, and a detergent composition or cosmetic composition containing the fragrance composition. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0014] The present invention will be described in detail below.

[0015] The fragrance composition of the present invention uses a fragrance comprising (A) benzaldehyde or anisaldehyde and (B) benzyl alcohol or anis alcohol.

[0016] <(A) Benzaldehyde or anisaldehyde> The (A) component in the fragrance composition of the present invention is benzaldehyde or anisaldehyde. Benzaldehyde (CAS No.: 100-52-7) is a kind of aromatic aldehyde and a compound with a sweet almond-like aroma. Anisaldehyde (CAS No.: 123-11-5) is a kind of aromatic aldehyde and a compound with a mimosa-like aroma.

[0017] <(B) Benzyl alcohol or anisyl alcohol> The (B) component in the fragrance composition of the present invention is benzyl alcohol or anisyl alcohol. Benzyl alcohol (CAS No.: 100-51-6) is a kind of aromatic alcohol, has a sweet direction, and is a compound used in many floral notes. Anisyl alcohol (CAS No.: 105-13-5) is a kind of aromatic alcohol and a compound with a sweet floral aroma.

[0018] In the present invention, it has been found that by combining the above (A) and (B) components, the odors caused by the activator and the cationic copolymer can be masked and a good cherry blossom-like fragrance can be obtained.

[0019] In the fragrance composition of the present invention, the mass ratio (A) / (B) of the (A) and (B) components is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.01 to 100, more preferably in the range of 0.02 to 50. If the mass ratio is 0.01 or more, the cherry blossom-like fragrance persistence during washing is good, and if it is 100 or less, the preference for the cherry blossom-like fragrance at the bottle mouth is good.

[0020] Next, a detergent composition or a cosmetic composition containing the fragrance composition of the present invention will be described.

[0021] The fragrance composition of the present invention can be incorporated into existing cleansing or cosmetic compositions containing an surfactant and / or a cationic cappolymer. Examples of cleansing compositions include facial cleansers, body washes and other body cleansers, and shampoos and other hair cleansers. Examples of cosmetic compositions include skin cosmetics such as makeup products, face care products, and body care products, and hair cosmetics such as rinses, conditioners, and styling products.

[0022] A detergent composition or cosmetic composition containing the fragrance composition of the present invention can be manufactured based on known manufacturing techniques and formulations according to the desired dosage form, and components such as surfactants, oils and fats, hydrocarbons, waxes, polymer compounds, viscosity modifiers, preservatives, chelating agents, stabilizers, pigments, and fragrances may be added as needed, as long as they do not impair the effect of the fatty acid odor-suppressing fragrance composition.

[0023] The amount of the fragrance composition (total amount of (A) + (B)) in the detergent composition or cosmetic composition of the present invention is preferably 0.001 to 1.0% by mass, and more preferably 0.005 to 1.0%, based on the total amount of the composition. If the amount is 0.001% or more, it exhibits a masking effect while providing good palatability during use. On the other hand, if it is 1.0% by mass or less, the fragrance is not too strong, and a detergent composition with good fragrance release and high palatability during use can be provided.

[0024] <Regarding masked activators> The fragrance composition of the present invention makes it possible to reduce odors caused by surfactants. Examples of surfactants include, for example, N-lauroyl sarcosine triethanolamine, N-myristoyl sarcosine triethanolamine, and N-cocoyl sarcosine triethanolamine.

[0025] The surfactant is preferably included in the detergent composition or cosmetic composition in an amount of 1.0% to 40.0% by mass (hereinafter simply referred to as %) relative to the whole composition, and more preferably in an amount of 5.0% to 30.0%. If the amount is 1.0% or more, the conditioning effect (for example, good feel during washing and good finish after washing) is good, and if it is 40.0% or less, the foaming ability is good.

[0026] <About masked cationized polymers> The fragrance composition of the present invention makes it possible to reduce odors caused by cationized polymers. The cationized polymer is not particularly limited, but examples include cationized cellulose derivatives, cationic starch, cationized guar gum derivatives, diallyl quaternary ammonium salt polymers, diallyl quaternary ammonium salt / acrylamide copolymers, and quaternary polyvinylpyrrolidone derivatives. These cationized polymers can be appropriately selected and used one or more types. In particular, cationized cellulose derivatives are preferably used as the cationized polymer, and specifically, polyquaternium-10 (product name: Leoguard MGP: manufactured by Lion Corporation) is preferred.

[0027] The cationic polymer is preferably incorporated into the detergent composition or cosmetic composition in an amount of 0.1 to 3.0% of the total composition, and more preferably 0.3 to 1.5%. If the amount is 0.1% or more, the conditioning effect is good, and if it is 3.0% or less, the washing effect is not good. It does not precipitate in the purification agent and achieves good solubilization.

[0028] A detergent composition or cosmetic composition containing the fragrance composition of the present invention can be manufactured based on known manufacturing techniques and formulations according to the desired dosage form, and components such as surfactants, oils and fats, hydrocarbons, waxes, polymer compounds, viscosity modifiers, preservatives, chelating agents, stabilizers, pigments, and fragrances may be added as needed, as long as they do not impair the effect of the fatty acid odor-suppressing fragrance composition. [Examples]
