Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an aqueous liquid cosmetic.

Background Art

[0002] Eyeliner is widely used for the purpose of enhancing the impression of the eye area by applying it around the eyes and emphasizing the contour of the eye area. In recent years, not only black, which has a high effect of making the eyes look larger, but also those containing colors other than black, high-luminance pearl pigments, lames, etc. have been increasing in tendency due to higher fashion requirements. On the other hand, as a product form of aqueous liquid cosmetics such as eyeliner, pen-type and brush pen-type cosmetics are used because they are applied to the contour of the eyes. For example, Patent Document 1 describes an aqueous eyeliner composition that combines and formulates a luminance pigment, carbon black, a polysaccharide derived from a microorganism, a volatile alcohol, and an acrylic acid alkyl copolymer emulsion, which is excellent in abrasion resistance, has vivid color development and a smooth writing feeling, and further has good storage stability. Patent Document 2 describes an aqueous liquid cosmetic in which a luminance powder and iron oxide are used in combination with a water-soluble dispersant such as sodium polyaspartate and polyvinylpyrrolidone, which has excellent storage stability with little sedimentation of the luminance powder even at low viscosity, excellent redispersibility of the sedimented luminance powder, and can be sufficiently discharged even in a pen-type form, and can stably form a drawn line having a pearl feeling.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In pen-type applications, powder can clog the gaps between fibers in the applicator, such as the brush tip, which is made up of a collection of fine fibers. Furthermore, reducing the viscosity of the cosmetic to improve dispensing performance and allow the liquid to adhere more easily to the applicator can lead to precipitation over time. Additionally, powders such as carbon black, due to their strong cohesive force, do not disperse uniformly within the system, resulting in uneven coatings. Furthermore, conventional eyeliners, especially those in shades other than black such as brown, were not entirely satisfactory in terms of performance. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The inventors have discovered that by combining black titanium oxide, a black powder, with a colored powder other than black, such as red iron oxide or yellow iron oxide treated with silica, and by using an acrylic acid emulsion, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and 1,3-butylene glycol in combination, it is possible to obtain a water-based liquid cosmetic that has excellent storage stability without pigment separation, produces deep and vivid colors, has good adhesion after application, is resistant to cracking, and is soft.
