Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, in a conventional cosmetic containing a dichroic pigment, the boundary of the applied part was not clear, and a finished product with a sense of depth could not be obtained.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] The present inventors have found that an oil-based cosmetic using dichroic titanium oxide-coated particles together with an oil gelling agent, a semi-solid oil, and a non-volatile liquid oil has a clear boundary at the applied part and can obtain a finished product with a sense of depth.

[0006] The present invention provides the following components (A), (B), (C), and (D): (A) An oil gelling agent, (B) A semi-solid oil having a melting point of 30 to 60°C, (C) A non-volatile liquid oil, (D) Titanium oxide-coated particles having dichroism with different appearance colors and interference colors This relates to an oily cosmetic product containing [a specific ingredient]. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] The oil-based cosmetic composition of the present invention provides a clear outline at the application site, and in particular, when used as a lipstick, it clearly defines the contour of the lips and gives a finish with a sense of depth. In other words, the oily cosmetic composition of the present invention contains an oil gelling agent (component A) and a semi-solid oil (component B), which allows for the formation of a smooth coating film with a certain thickness. Because the cosmetic composition has appropriate elasticity, it is possible to impart thickness to the coating film even when the same amount is applied, compared to low-elasticity agents that drip after application. Furthermore, compared to highly elastic agents that do not spontaneously change shape after application, leveling after application makes it easier to achieve uniform thickness and form flat surfaces. For example, unevenness such as lip wrinkles can be filled in and smoothed with the cosmetic composition. With low-elasticity agents that drip after application, the cosmetic composition would only fill in the wrinkles and would not easily smooth them. In this way, the formation of a smooth coating film with a certain thickness makes it possible to effectively display the dichroism of the low-order titanium oxide coated particles in the flat areas and edges of the coating film, resulting in a clearer edge to the coated area and a finish with a sense of depth, as described above. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0008] The oil gelling agent used in component (A) in the present invention is one that is commonly used in cosmetics, such as solid wax, metal soap, organically modified clay mineral, nanosilica, dextrin fatty acid ester, and amino acid-based gelling agent.

[0009] Examples of solid waxes include those with a melting point of 61°C or higher. Waxes with a melting point of 61°C or higher exhibit solid properties at 25°C. In this invention, the melting point is measured by Method 3 of the general test methods described in the 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 (petrolatum melting point thermometer 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 fixed with a cork so that the distance between the lower end of the thermometer and the bottom of the test tube is 15 mm. This test tube is then placed in a 500 mL beaker containing water at approximately 16°C, with the bottom of the test tube fixed so that the distance between the bottom of the test tube and the bottom of the beaker is 15 mm, and the bath is heated at a rate of 2°C per minute until the temperature reaches 30°C. Next, 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 as the melting point.

[0036] The component (D) used in the present invention is a low-order titanium oxide coated particle having dichroism in which the appearance color and interference color are different. Having dichroism, where the apparent color and interference color differ, means that the interference color, which is clearly visible in the specular reflection direction of the irradiated light, and the apparent color, which is visible in directions where the interference color is less visible, differ in one or more of the following properties: hue, saturation, and lightness. Angle of incidence: The angle that the incident optical axis makes with respect to the normal to the coated surface of the low-order titanium oxide coated particles. Receiving angle: When the angle between the receiving optical axis and the normal to the coated surface is defined as positive (the side with the same incident angle relative to the normal is positive, and the side opposite the incident angle relative to the normal is negative), Specular reflection direction: For example, when the incident angle is 45°, the receiving angle is in the range of -70° to -20°. Direction in which interference color is difficult to see: For example, when the incident angle is 45°, it is in the range of the light-receiving angle of 20° to 70°. In addition, since the outermost layer of a normal interference pearl pigment is coated with titanium oxide (white without coloring), the appearance color becomes white. In contrast, the low-order titanium oxide-coated particles are coated with low-order titanium oxide, so the appearance color becomes a color different from white (colored other than white).

[0037] The low-order titanium oxide-coated particles of component (D) can effectively show the difference between the appearance color and the interference color, clarify the edge of the coating part, and effectively exhibit a three-dimensional finish from the viewpoint of effectively expressing a three-dimensional finish. It is preferably plate-shaped.

[0038] In addition, as the low-order titanium oxide-coated particles of component (D), those in which plate-shaped particles are coated with low-order titanium oxide are preferable. In plate-shaped particles, the plate shape includes not only the shape of a plate in the narrow sense but also powders having shapes such as flakes. Examples of plate-shaped particles include those used in ordinary cosmetics, such as mica such as mica, synthetic fluorophlogopite, muscovite, phlogopite, biotite, lithia mica; plate-shaped zinc oxide, plate-shaped titanium oxide, plate-shaped cerium oxide, barium sulfate, talc, plate-shaped kaolin, sericite, plate-shaped silica, plate-shaped hydroxyapatite, bentonite, montmorillonite, hectorite, plate-shaped ceramic powder, plate-shaped alumina, plate-shaped boron nitride, plate-shaped polymethyl methacrylate powder, plate-shaped iron oxide, aluminum, plate-shaped glass powder, etc. Among these, synthetic phlogopite is preferable from the viewpoint of less color shading.

[0039] The low-order titanium oxide that coats the plate-shaped particles has a composition represented by TiOx (1.0 < x < 2.0). For example, titanium powder and titanium oxide are mixed and sintered under reduced pressure to obtain a titanium / titanium oxide sintered product. Thus, the low-order titanium oxide-coated particles of component (D) in which low-order titanium oxide is coated on the plate-shaped particles can adjust the color tones of the appearance color and the interference color by adjusting the film thickness of the low-order titanium oxide coating layer.

[0040] Furthermore, the lower titanium oxide coated particles of component (D) are preferably 2 μm or more in average particle size, more preferably 5 μm or more, even more preferably 15 μm or more, preferably 100 μm or less, more preferably 80 μm or less, and even more preferably 50 μm or less, from the viewpoint of clearly defining the edges of the coated area and effectively producing a finish with a sense of depth. In addition, the average particle size of component (D) is preferably 2 to 100 μm, more preferably 5 to 80 μm, and even more preferably 15 to 50 μm. In this invention, the average particle size is measured by the particle size at 50% of the integrated value in the particle size distribution obtained by laser diffraction / scattering. Specifically, it is measured using a laser diffraction / scattering particle size distribution analyzer (for example, LA-920 manufactured by Horiba, Ltd.) with ethanol as the dispersion medium.

[0041] The appearance color and interference color of the lower-order titanium oxide coated particles of component (D) can generally be evaluated using the method for evaluating the appearance color and interference color of pearl pigments, that is, the method for evaluating the appearance color on a white background and the interference color on a black background. Furthermore, it is preferable that the lower-order titanium oxide coated particles of component (D) have an appearance color that is darker than the interference color on a black background, as this effectively creates a sense of three-dimensionality and depth. The brightness of the apparent color and interference color can be expressed by the lightness L* measured using a colorimeter; a higher value indicates a brighter color. By comparing the lightness L* of the apparent color and interference color, it is possible to determine which is brighter (or darker).

[0042] As the lower-order titanium oxide coated particles of component (D), it is preferable to use synthetic fluorphlogopite coated with a (titanium / titanium oxide) sintered product. For example, commercially available products such as SCALES COLOR M020Y-CSM, SCALES COLOR M020R-CSM, SCALES COLOR M020B-CSM, and SCALES COLOR M045R-CSM (all manufactured by Akaho Chemical Co., Ltd.) can be used.

[0043] Component (D) can be used alone or in combination of two or more types. From the viewpoint of clearly defining the edges of the coated area and effectively producing a finish with a sense of depth, the content is preferably 0.01% by mass or more, more preferably 0.1% by mass or more, and even more preferably 0.5% by mass or more in the total composition. From the viewpoint of improving coating performance, facilitating the formation of a smooth coating film with a certain thickness, and facilitating the acquisition of a finish with a sense of depth, the content is preferably 30% by mass or less, more preferably 22% by mass or less, and even more preferably 10% by mass or less. Furthermore, the content of component (D) is preferably 0.01 to 30% by mass in the total composition, more preferably 0.1 to 22% by mass, and even more preferably 0.5 to 10% by mass.

[0044] In the present invention, the mass ratio (D) / (C) of component (D) to component (C) is preferably 0.0005 or more, more preferably 0.001 or more, and even more preferably 0.0015 or more, from the viewpoint of clearly defining the edges of the coated area and effectively producing a finish with a sense of depth after the volatile components have evaporated. From the viewpoint of facilitating the formation of a smooth coating film with a certain thickness after the volatile components have evaporated, it is preferably 0.5 or less, more preferably 0.2 or less, and even more preferably 0.15 or less. Furthermore, the mass ratio (D) / (C) of component (D) to component (C) is preferably 0.0005 to 0.5, more preferably 0.001 to 0.2, and even more preferably 0.0015 to 0.15.

[0045] In the present invention, the mass ratio of the total amount of components (A), (B), and (C) to component (D), ((A)+(B)+(C)) / (D), is preferably 0.02 or higher, more preferably 0.025 or higher, and even more preferably 0.03 or higher, from the viewpoint of effectively producing a finish with a sense of depth. From the viewpoint of clearly defining the edges of the applied area and effectively producing a finish with a sense of depth, it is preferably 1000 or lower, more preferably 900 or lower, and even more preferably 800 or lower. Furthermore, the mass ratio of the total amount of components (A), (B), and (C) to component (D), ((A)+(B)+(C)) / (D), is preferably between 0.02 and 1000, more preferably between 0.025 and 900, and even more preferably between 0.03 and 800.

[0046] In addition to the above-mentioned components, the oily cosmetic composition of the present invention may contain components commonly used in cosmetics, such as oily components other than components (B) and (C), powders other than component (D), coloring pigments, surfactants, lower alcohols, polyhydric alcohols, polymer compounds, ultraviolet absorbers, antioxidants, fragrances, antifouling agents, humectants, water, and the like.

[0047] The oily cosmetic composition of the present invention can be manufactured by conventional methods and may be in either a solid or non-solid form. The oily cosmetic composition of the present invention is a cosmetic composition in which an oil is a continuous phase, and can be used as, for example, lip cosmetics such as lipstick, lip balm, lip gloss, and lip liner; or makeup cosmetics such as mascara, eyeliner, eyeshadow, and blush. In particular, it is suitable as a lip cosmetic because it clearly defines the contour of the lips when applied to them. [Examples]

[0048] Reference example (color measurement of pearl pigments) The pearl pigments shown in Table 1 were colorimetrically measured using the following method. The results are shown in Table 1. (Method for measuring the color of pearl pigments) For color measurement, 1.5 mg of each pearl pigment was uniformly applied to 2.5 cm square white and black bioskin samples. Color measurement was performed using a BYK-Gardner BYK-mac i multi-angle colorimeter, measuring L*, a*, and b* at 75° on a white background for the appearance color and -15° on a black background for the interference color. Note that "75° on a white background" refers to the measurement conditions set on the instrument, and in practice, it means measuring the color of the sample applied to the white bioskin at an incident angle of 45° and a receiving angle of 30°. Similarly, "-15° on a black background" refers to the settings on the instrument, and in practice, it means measuring the color of the sample applied to the black bioskin at an incident angle of 45° and a receiving angle of -60°. Color measurement was performed four times for each sample, and the average value was calculated and used for evaluation. This colorimetric value, L*, represents the brightness of a color; a higher number indicates a brighter color. Generally, when evaluating the appearance color and interference color of pearl pigments, a method is used in which the appearance color is evaluated on a white background and the interference color on a black background. From the results in Table 1, it was confirmed that for pearl pigments (1) to (4), the lightness L* of the appearance color was smaller than the lightness L* of the interference color, and the appearance color on a white background was darker than the interference color on a black background.
