[0006] The present invention comprises the following components (A), (B), and (C): (A) Plate-shaped powder coated with Red No. 202, 0.01-15% by mass, (B) Component (A) excluding Red No. 202, 0.001 to 5% by mass, (C) Contains 75% or more by mass of paste oil with a melting point of 33-55°C, and 0.5-18% by mass of paste oil with a melting point of 33-60°C. This relates to lip cosmetics containing [a specific ingredient / product]. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] The lip cosmetic of the present invention provides a beautiful, natural finish with vibrant color even on dull lips, and the vibrant color lasts for a long time. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0008] The component (A) used in this invention is a plate-shaped powder coated with Red No. 202. Red No. 202 is a coloring pigment commonly used in cosmetics, and its generic name is "Lysol Rubin BCA". This Red No. 202 may also be dispersed in barium sulfate to improve color development, or rosin may be added as a dispersion aid. Examples of substrates for plate-shaped powders include natural or synthetic inorganic powders such as talc, silica, sericite, mica, synthetic fluorphlogopite, glass, kaolin, bismuth oxychloride, cerium oxide, calcium sulfate, barium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, alumina, titanium oxide, and iron oxide. Among these, talc, mica, synthetic phlogopite, and glass are preferred, with mica and synthetic phlogopite being more preferred. Furthermore, composite powders can be used in which metal oxides such as titanium dioxide, iron oxide, and anhydrous silicic acid are coated on the surface of the plate-shaped powder. Specific examples of composite powders include titanium mica, iron oxide-coated mica, iron oxide-coated titanium mica, titanium oxide-coated synthetic fluorphlogopite, iron oxide-coated synthetic fluorphlogopite, iron oxide / titanium oxide-coated synthetic fluorphlogopite, titanium oxide-coated glass powder, iron oxide-coated glass powder, iron oxide / titanium oxide-coated glass powder, titanium oxide-coated alumina, iron oxide-coated alumina, iron oxide / titanium oxide-coated alumina, and titanium oxide / anhydrous silicic acid-coated mica, with titanium mica and titanium oxide-coated synthetic fluorphlogopite being preferred.

[0009] The plate-like powder is preferably in the form of thin flakes, and the average particle size is preferably 5 to 100 μm, and more preferably 5 to 60 μm, from the viewpoint of ensuring that the lipstick color develops vividly even on dull lips, the color lasts, and provides a beautiful and natural finish. The aspect ratio is preferably 15 to 200, and more preferably 20 to 100. In this invention, the average particle diameter is measured by electron microscopy and a particle size distribution analyzer using the laser diffraction / scattering method. Specifically, in the case of the laser diffraction / scattering method, ethanol is used as the dispersion medium, and the particle size distribution analyzer (e.g., LA-920, manufactured by Horiba, Ltd.) is used to measure the particle size, with the 50% median diameter being taken as the average particle diameter. The thickness is measured by measuring the difference from a reference plane using an atomic force microscope, and the arithmetic mean is taken as the average thickness. Furthermore, the aspect ratio is calculated from the ratio of the average particle diameter to the average thickness, and is defined as aspect ratio = average particle diameter / average thickness.

[0010] The amount of Red No. 202 coating on the plate-shaped powder is preferably 0.5 to 30% by mass, more preferably 1 to 25% by mass, and even more preferably 2 to 17% by mass, of the total amount of component (A), from the viewpoint of ensuring that even dull lips develop a vivid lipstick color, the color lasts, and a beautiful, natural finish. The breakdown of Red No. 202 in the total amount of component (A) will be described below as the amount of Red No. 202 coating.

[0011] Examples of such plate-shaped powders include Cellini Red (manufactured by BASF, mica titanium substrate, 6-48 μm, coated with 13% by mass of Red No. 202), C91-1231 INTENZA Razzled Rose (manufactured by DIC, mica titanium substrate, 10-60 μm, coated with 10% by mass of Red No. 202), C91-1232 INTENZA Haute Pink (manufactured by DIC, mica titanium substrate, 10-60 μm, coated with 10% by mass of Red No. 202), C91-1233 INTENZA Electric Coral (manufactured by DIC, mica titanium substrate, 10-60 μm, coated with 12% by mass of Red No. 202), C91-1234 INTENZA Magentitude (manufactured by DIC, mica titanium substrate, 10-60 μm, coated with 5% by mass of Red No. 202), and C91-4232 INTENZA. There are two types: Cerise (manufactured by DIC Corporation, titanium dioxide coated synthetic fluorphlogopite substrate, 10-60 μm, coated with 10% by mass of Red No. 202) and C91-4234 INTENZA Tourmalink (manufactured by DIC Corporation, titanium dioxide coated synthetic fluorphlogopite substrate, 10-60 μm, coated with 5% by mass of Red No. 202).

[0019] Component (C) used in the present invention is a paste oil having a melting point of 33 to 60°C, containing 75% by mass or more of a paste oil having a melting point of 33 to 55°C. In this invention, the melting point is measured by the method described in Method 3 of the General Test Methods for Cosmetic Raw Materials Standards. Specifically, the sample is gradually heated to 90-92°C while stirring to melt it, then the heating is stopped and the sample is allowed to cool to a temperature 8-10°C above its melting point. Next, the thermometer (a petrolatum melting point thermometer as specified in Japanese Industrial Standard B7410) is cooled to 5°C, the moisture is wiped off with filter paper, half of the mercury bulb is inserted into the sample, and then immediately removed. The sample is kept vertical and allowed to cool. When the attached sample becomes cloudy, it is immersed in water at a temperature of 16°C or lower for 5 minutes. Next, the thermometer is inserted into the test tube and secured with a cork so that the distance between the lower end of the thermometer and the bottom of the test tube is 15 mm. The test tube is placed in a 500 mL beaker containing water at approximately 16°C, with the bottom of the test tube fixed 15 mm from the bottom of the beaker. The water is heated at a rate of 2°C per minute until the water temperature reaches 30°C. Then, heating is continued at a rate of 1°C per minute, and the temperature is measured when a drop of the sample leaves the thermometer. This test is performed three times. If the difference in measurements is less than 1°C, the average value is taken. If the difference is 1°C or more, five measurements are taken and the average value is taken.

It can be used in the form of lipstick, lip balm, lip gloss, lip liner, and the like.

[0035] The lip cosmetic of the present invention particularly modifies the scattering coefficient in the 600nm to 700nm range. When light is absorbed by a pigment, it is converted into thermal energy, reducing the amount of light. However, when light is scattered, it hits the pigment and changes direction, but the amount of light does not decrease. Therefore, since dull lip colors tend to have a lower overall reflectivity compared to non-dull lip colors, by "changing the scattering coefficient" in a specific wavelength range, it is possible to impart vivid color and a beautiful, natural finish to dull lips. [Examples]

[0036] Examples 1-10, Comparative Examples 1-5 (stick lipstick) Stick lipsticks (solid form) with the composition shown in Table 1 were manufactured, and their vivid color development on dull lips, beautiful finish on dull lips, natural finish on dull lips, and vividness after 2 hours of application were evaluated. In addition, the reflectance of the finish on dull lips (600nm~700nm / 550nm~590nm) and the scattering coefficient of the lipstick film (600nm~700nm / 550nm~590nm) were measured. The results are also shown in Table 1.

[0037] (Manufacturing method) A total amount of 300g was prepared using a 1L container with a diameter of 130mm and a 30mm diameter disperser blade (rotation speed 2500r / min throughout the entire process). First, the base raw materials containing component (C) and other oily components (excluding the colorants containing components (A) and (B) and other powder components) were heated to 105°C and uniformly mixed for 5 minutes while maintaining the temperature. Next, the colorants containing components (A) and (B) and other powder components were added and uniformly mixed for a further 2 minutes. After degassing, the mixture was cooled and solidified to room temperature.

The results are shown as the total score from the ten expert panelists. 5; Provides exceptionally vibrant color that lasts for two hours on dull lips after application. 4. After application, the vibrant color lasts for 2 hours on dull lips. 3. After application, the color remains slightly more vibrant on dull lips for 2 hours. 2. After application, the lip color is dull and does not last very long. 1. After application, the lips appear dull for 2 hours, and the vibrant color does not last.

[0042] (5) Reflectance of dull lip finish: Each lipstick was applied to one subject with dull lips. The lips were used as the subject, and a white light source described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2019-25292 was used. A hyperspectral imaging device (product name "Hyperspectral Camera NH-7", manufactured by EVA Japan) was used as the imaging device to measure the reflectance and calculate the average value for each wavelength. The results showed (1) reflectance in the 550-590 nm range, (2) reflectance in the 600-700 nm range, and (2) / (1). A larger value of (2) / (1) indicates a more vibrant finish.

[0043] (6) Scattering coefficient of lipstick film Each lipstick, in paste form, was applied to a transparent polyester film using a 25 μm thick coater. The reflectance of the coatings applied to white and black substrates was measured using a three-dimensional bending-angle spectrophotometer GCMS-4B (manufactured by Murakami Color Technology Laboratory Co., Ltd.). The measurement conditions were an incident angle of 45° and a receiving angle of 0°. The scattering coefficient was calculated using the Kubelka-Munk theory and the formula described in "Kubelka-Munk Theory and its Applications" (Color Materials, 42, 1969, pp. 472-473), and the average value for each wavelength was determined. The results showed (1) the scattering coefficient at 550-590 nm, (2) the scattering coefficient at 600-700 nm, and (2) / (1). A larger value of (2) / (1) indicates a more vibrant lipstick finish.
