Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to cosmetic compositions and cosmetics. [Background technology]

[0002] A gel is a structure in which a fluid is contained within a three-dimensional network or string-like structure formed by a substance (gelling agent) that has the ability to form gels or thicken liquids. Generally, when the fluid is water, it is called a hydrogel, and when the fluid is an organic liquid other than water (such as an organic solvent or oil), it is called an oil gel (organogel).

[0003] Among these gels, oil gels are actively used in the cosmetics field to adjust the fluidity of oily components in cosmetics.

[0004] Gelling agents used to form oil gels can be broadly classified into high-molecular-weight thickeners and low-molecular-weight thickeners.

[0005] High molecular weight thickeners have the problem of unstable quality due to variations in their molecular weight, resulting in oil gels that become sticky, which negatively impacts the user experience when incorporated into cosmetics.

[0006] On the other hand, low molecular weight thickeners can be obtained with stable quality and exhibit thixotropy, so when incorporated into cosmetics, they can produce oil gels with excellent feel. Examples of such low molecular weight thickeners include oligodextrin fatty acid esters (Patent Document 1), N-acyl amino acid derivatives (Patent Documents 2 and 3), aminoamide derivatives (Patent Document 4), and stearic acid amide derivatives (Patent Document 5).

[0007] However, these low-molecular-weight thickeners have drawbacks such as being unable to thicken or gel depending on the type and polarity of the oily components contained in the cosmetics, having variable viscosities, being unable to maintain long-term stability, having low transparency after formulation, affecting the usability because a large amount has to be formulated for sufficient thickening or gelling, and being unable to achieve sufficient thickening or gelling when silicone oil or fluorine oil is used as the oily component.

[0136] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples. Unless otherwise specified, "parts" means "parts by mass" and "%" means "percent mass".

[0137] [Manufacturing Example 1] A mixture of N,N-dimethylformamide (100 ml), octadecylamine (40.0 g, 148 mmol), and triethylamine (30.0 g, 297 mmol) was then mixed with succinic anhydride (15.6 g, 156 mmol) and N,N-dimethylformamide (100 ml) over 10 minutes, and the mixture was stirred at 80°C for 15 minutes. Acetic anhydride (15.9 g, 156 mmol) was added dropwise over 10 minutes, and the mixture was stirred at 80°C for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was poured into water (500 ml), the precipitate was filtered, and the mixture was washed with distilled water. The crude product was purified by recrystallization with acetone. This yielded 49.1 g (140 mmol) of N-octadecylsuccinimide as a 94% white crystalline powder. The obtained N-octadecylsuccinimide (5.93 g, 16.9 mmol) was reacted with 3-(2-ethylhexyloxy)propylamine (9.51 g, 50.8 mmol) at 125°C for 72 hours. 40 mL of acetonitrile was added to the reaction mixture at approximately 100°C, and after cooling to room temperature, the precipitated crystals were filtered and washed with a small amount of acetonitrile. The crude product was dried and purified by recrystallization with acetone. Compound (1) was obtained as a white crystalline powder in a yield of 83.8% (7.63 g, 14.2 mmol).

[0138] [Examples 1-4, Comparative Examples 1-3] As shown in Table 1, compound (1) obtained in Production Example 1 and an oil-soluble compound were mixed so that compound (1) accounted for 5% by mass to obtain a cosmetic composition. The cosmetic compositions obtained in Examples 1-4 were found to have very high transparency. Furthermore, the cosmetic compositions obtained in Examples 1-4 did not exhibit oil separation, and compound (1) obtained in Production Example 1 uniformly thickened and gelled oil-soluble compounds. These gels maintained their transparency and thickened and gelled state without losing their appearance even when stored at room temperature. On the other hand, the cosmetic compositions obtained in Comparative Examples 1-3 were found to have low transparency and become opaque. Furthermore, the transmittance of the obtained cosmetic composition at a wavelength of 545 nm was measured. <Measurement of light transmittance at a wavelength of 545nm> Compound (1) obtained in Production Example 1 and an oil-soluble compound were mixed so that the content of compound (1) was 5% by mass. After heating and melting at 130°C, approximately 4 mL was placed in a polystyrene measuring cell before it solidified. After standing at room temperature for 15 minutes, the transmittance was measured using a SHIMADZU UV-1800. Background measurement was performed using an empty cell before the sample measurement. Although a polystyrene measuring cell was used, other materials such as glass or quartz can be used for the cell material. Either a two-sided or four-sided cell can be used.

[0139] [Table 1]

[0140] [Examples 5-8, Comparative Example 4] Using compound (1) obtained in Production Example 1, a stick-type sunscreen cosmetic was manufactured according to the formulation shown in Table 2. Specifically, the following was done: As shown in Table 2, at least one selected from KF-56A (diphenylsiloxyphenyl trimethicone, manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.), liquid paraffin (mineral oil, manufactured by Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.), 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexyl salicylate (homosalate, manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industries, Ltd.), and 2-ethylhexyl salicylate (octysalate, manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industries, Ltd.) was mixed uniformly, and compound (1) was added or omitted as shown in Table 2, and the mixture was heated at 135°C for 30 minutes to dissolve. After degassing, the mixture was cooled, molded into a stick shape, and a stick-type sunscreen cosmetic was manufactured. The obtained stick-type sunscreen cosmetic was evaluated for its stick-like consistency and usability. <Evaluation of the stick-like state> The obtained stick-type sunscreen cosmetics were visually inspected and evaluated according to the following criteria. ○: It is stick-shaped. △: It fails to maintain its stick shape and crumbles. ×: It is liquid. <Feeling of use> The resulting stick-type sunscreen cosmetic was subjected to a usability test with five subjects and evaluated according to the following criteria. ◎: Particularly excellent in terms of spreadability and conformability. ○: Excellent spreadability and conformability. ×: Poor spreadability and poor compatibility.

[0141] [Table 2]

[0142] [Examples 9-13, Comparative Example 5] Using compound (1) obtained in Production Example 1, a stick-type whitening cosmetic was manufactured according to the formulation shown in Table 3.
