Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to sunscreen cosmetics. It also relates to a method for inhibiting the elution of metal ions from compositions containing zinc oxide and / or titanium dioxide, and to a metal ion elution inhibitor. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventional sunscreen cosmetics contain organic UV absorbers and metal oxides as ingredients to protect the skin from ultraviolet rays. In recent years, due to consumer preferences, there has been a demand for the development of sunscreen cosmetics that do not contain organic UV absorbers. There is a need to develop formulations that provide satisfactory UV protection using only metal oxides, without containing organic UV absorbers. To achieve this, it is necessary to increase the content of metal oxides, but this can lead to problems such as a heavy feeling on the applied film and poor spreadability during application.

[0003] Furthermore, some studies have reported that sunscreen cosmetics may have an impact on the marine environment. Research is also progressing on the effects of metal oxides on the marine environment. For example, it has been suggested that zinc ions, when present in seawater at concentrations of 0.1 ppm or higher, may affect Stylophora pistillata, a type of hard coral (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1). In particular, when sunscreens that do not contain organic UV absorbers and rely solely on metal oxides to provide UV protection, it becomes necessary to consider such environmental impacts.

[0004] Furthermore, while sunscreen cosmetics are required to function for extended periods, friction with clothing during daily life and contact with moisture from the external environment such as sweat and seawater can cause the cosmetic to be removed from the skin, raising concerns about a decrease in UV protection effectiveness. Against this backdrop, technologies to suppress the decrease in UV protection effectiveness are being investigated. For example, in oil-in-water emulsion sunscreen cosmetics that maintain high UV protection effectiveness even when in contact with water or sweat and have a superior feel, a technology has been disclosed in which the UV protection ability is improved upon contact with water by blending a UV protection agent and a fatty acid that is solid at room temperature in a specific ratio (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In particular, in situations where the risk of UV exposure is high, such as swimming in the sea during the summer, and where the sunscreen coating film is likely to be removed by sweat or seawater, sufficient UV protection effectiveness, and even the suppression of the decrease in UV protection effectiveness, is especially important. [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]

[0005] [Non-Patent Document 1] Coral Reefs 2019.38:109-122 [Patent Documents]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] International Publication No. 2016 / 068299 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0007] However, while the technology disclosed in Patent Document 1 offers excellent UV protection, it contains an organic UV absorber, and there were cases where it was desirable to further enhance its seawater resistance. In addition to the above, there were also cases where it was desirable to further reduce the burden on the coated film.

[0008] Furthermore, regarding metal oxides, while numerical ranges that could potentially affect the marine environment have been suggested and investigated, technologies for suppressing them based on those ranges have not been sufficiently considered.

[0009] Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its main objective is to provide a sunscreen cosmetic that has sufficient UV protection effect even without substantially containing organic UV absorbers, and furthermore has excellent lightness of the applied film and excellent seawater resistance, and also has excellent effect in suppressing the elution of metal ions. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] In light of the above issues, the inventors conducted thorough research. As mentioned above, in order to maintain sufficient UV protection, it is necessary to retain the sunscreen cosmetic on the skin. However, it is known that metal oxides dissolve upon contact with water. Therefore, the inventors focused on the possibility of improving film strength by including a component in the cosmetic film that reacts with divalent metal ions in seawater upon contact with seawater to produce an insoluble salt, in order to suppress the dissolution of metal ions upon contact with water, especially seawater. As a result of examining various components capable of forming insoluble salts, the inventors found that including one or more monovalent alkali metal salts selected from the group consisting of alginic acid, acylmethyl taurine, and acyl glutamic acid in the sunscreen cosmetic increases film strength and provides a particularly excellent effect in suppressing the dissolution of metal ions.

[0011] In other words, the present invention provides the following: (A) Hydrophobically treated zinc oxide and / or titanium oxide with an average particle size of less than 100 nm, 10-40% by mass (B) One or more monovalent alkali metal salts selected from the group consisting of alginic acid, acylmethyltaurine, and acylglutamic acid. This is a sunscreen cosmetic that contains [ingredient name] and substantially does not contain organic UV absorbers. The component (B) may be one or more monovalent alkali metal salts selected from the group consisting of alginic acid, stearoyl methyl taurine, myristoyl methyl taurine, lauroyl methyl taurine, stearoyl glutamic acid, myristoyl glutamic acid, and lauroyl glutamic acid. The component (B) may be one or more monovalent alkali metal salts selected from the group consisting of alginic acid, stearoylmethyl taurine, and lauroyl glutamic acid. The mass ratio of component (A) to component (B), (A) / (B), may be between 10 and 3000. The content of component (B) may be 0.01 to 1% by mass in the sunscreen cosmetic. Place 2g of sunscreen cosmetic on a glass plate at 1000cm 2 After applying the solution to the specified area and allowing it to dry, the concentration of zinc ions and / or titanium ions in the seawater after immersion in 50 L of seawater for one week may be less than 0.1 ppm. A method for suppressing the elution of metal ions from a composition containing component (A) using the following component (B) may also be used. (A) Hydrophobized zinc oxide and / or titanium oxide with an average particle size of less than 100 nm. (B) One or more monovalent alkali metal salts selected from the group consisting of alginic acid, acylmethyltaurine, and acylglutamic acid. The composition may be a sunscreen cosmetic, and the method may also involve inhibiting the elution of metal ions. The following component (B) may be used as an inhibitor of metal ion elution from a composition containing component (A). (A) Hydrophobically treated zinc oxide and / or titanium oxide with an average particle size of less than 100 nm. (B) One or more monovalent alkali metal salts selected from the group consisting of alginic acid, acylmethyltaurine, and acylglutamic acid.

[0012] Furthermore, this technology can also incorporate the following additional configurations. It may also be a method for suppressing the elution of zinc ions and / or titanium ions into seawater using the component (B). It may also be a method for suppressing the elution of zinc ions and / or titanium ions by forming insoluble salts using the component (B). It may also be a method for suppressing the elution of zinc ions and / or titanium ions by contact with seawater using the component (B). It may also be a method for suppressing the elution of zinc ions and / or titanium ions by improving the film strength using the component (B). It may also be an elution inhibitor for zinc ions and / or titanium ions used in a sunscreen cosmetic substantially free of an organic ultraviolet absorber. It may also be an elution inhibitor for zinc ions and / or titanium ions into seawater using the component (B). It may also be an elution inhibitor for zinc ions and / or titanium ions by forming insoluble salts using the component (B). It may also be an elution inhibitor for zinc ions and / or titanium ions by contact with seawater using the component (B). It may also be an elution inhibitor for zinc ions and / or titanium ions by improving the film strength using the component (B).

Advantages of the Invention

[0013] The sunscreen cosmetic of the present invention exhibits a high ultraviolet protection effect despite substantially containing no ultraviolet absorber, and is excellent in the lack of a burden feeling of the coating film. Furthermore, it is also excellent in seawater resistance and the effect of suppressing the elution of metal ions. Also, according to the present invention, even without containing a film-forming agent, a solid oil agent, a surfactant, etc., the elution of metal ions is suppressed and an excellent ultraviolet protection effect can be exhibited, so that a sunscreen cosmetic having no burden feeling on the coating film, no stickiness, and good spreading can be obtained.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0014] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments for implementing the present invention will be described. The embodiments described below show an example of a typical embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not construed narrowly thereby. Also, in this specification, percentages are expressed by mass unless otherwise specified. In this specification, "X~Y" indicating a range includes X and Y and means "X or more and Y or less".

[0015] 1. First Embodiment According to the Present Invention

[0016] This first embodiment can provide a sunscreen cosmetic containing (component (A)) hydrophobically surface-treated zinc oxide and / or titanium oxide with an average particle diameter of less than 100 nm, and (component (B)) one or more monovalent alkali metal salts selected from the group consisting of alginic acid, acylmethyltaurine, and acylglutamic acid, and substantially free of an organic ultraviolet absorber.

[0017] (Component (A): Hydrophobically surface-treated zinc oxide and / or titanium oxide with an average particle diameter of less than 100 nm)

[0018] The hydrophobically surface-treated zinc oxide and / or titanium oxide with an average particle diameter of less than 100 nm, which is used in the present invention, is a metal oxide that blocks ultraviolet rays by absorbing, scattering, reflecting, quenching, etc. ultraviolet rays in a wide range from UVB to UBA (290~400 nm).

[0019] For component (A), zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are preferably used in fine particle form, with an average particle diameter of less than 100 nm, preferably 80 nm or less, more preferably 50 nm or less, and even more preferably 35 nm or less. Furthermore, while the lower limit of the average particle diameter of zinc oxide in sunscreen cosmetics is not particularly limited, as smaller diameters result in better transparency, etc., it is generally preferred to be 1 nm or larger, 3 nm or larger, and more preferably 5 nm or larger. Additionally, the average particle diameter of zinc oxide is preferably 1 nm or more and less than 100 nm, more preferably 3 nm or more and less than 100 nm, even more preferably 5 to 50 nm, and even more preferably 5 to 35 nm. These ranges are preferable because they provide superior UV protection and transparency. In this invention, the average particle diameter can be measured as the average particle size by image analysis of transmission electron microscope images. Approximately 10 mg of the sample is thoroughly mixed and dispersed on a glass slide with 1-propanol to obtain a dispersion. The dispersion is stretched to obtain a thin film sample. The thin film of the sample is placed on a transmission electron microscope (TEM) mesh with a support film. The mesh (dried coating) is set in a transmission electron microscope (S-4800, Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation) and observed to obtain an image of the dried coating film showing individual particles. The image of this dried coating film surface is processed using an image analysis particle size distribution analyzer (Mac-View, Mountec Co., Ltd.) with 1000 particles each to measure, and the particle size is measured. This allows us to obtain the average particle size D50 of the sample (powder) through image analysis of transmission electron microscope (TEM) images.

This range is preferable because it provides superior UV protection and a less burdensome coating.

[0034] (Component (B): One or more monovalent alkali metal salts selected from the group consisting of alginic acid, acylmethyl taurine, and acyl glutamic acid)

[0035] The component (B) used in this invention, which is one or more monovalent alkali metal salts selected from the group consisting of alginic acid, acylmethyl taurine, and acyl glutamic acid (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "component (B)"), is not particularly limited as long as it is commonly used in cosmetics, quasi-drugs, pharmaceuticals, etc.

[0070] (Evaluation criteria) I. UV protection effect b. Seawater resistance H. The coating film does not feel burdensome. II. Effect of suppressing the elution of metal ions

[0071] [I. UV protection effect] Each sample was placed on a PMMA plate (HELIOPLATE HD6, Labsphere) at a concentration of 2 mg / cm². 2 After applying the required amount with a finger, the sample was left to stand for 20 minutes. SPF simulation measurements were then performed using an SPF analyzer (UV-2000S, Labsphere), and the SPF simulation value was measured. Based on the obtained SPF simulation values, the UV protection effect was evaluated according to the following criteria.

[0072] [3-stage evaluation criteria] (Judgment criteria) : (Judgment) SPF simulation value of 50 or higher: ◎ (Excellent) SPF simulation value of 30 or higher, less than 50: ○ (Good) SPF simulation value less than 30: × (Not allowed)

[0073] [b. Seawater resistance] Each sample was placed on a PMMA plate (HELIOPLATE HD6, Labsphere) at a concentration of 2 mg / cm². 2 After applying the required amount with a finger, the sample was left to stand for 20 minutes. SPF simulation measurements were then performed using an SPF analyzer (UV-2000S, Labsphere), and the SPF simulation value was measured. Next, a seawater bath test was conducted. For the seawater, 108g of artificial seawater mix (manufactured by GEX) was dissolved in 3000g of purified water. The seawater bath conditions were as follows: at a room temperature of 25°C, the coated sample was attached to the side of a container (14cm in diameter x 15cm in height) containing 2L of seawater, and the seawater in the container was stirred at 300rpm for 5 minutes using a paddle mixer. After stirring, the coated sample was removed from the container and allowed to stand and dry for 20 minutes under conditions of 25°C and 60% humidity. Then, the SPF simulation value after the seawater bath was measured using the SPF analyzer. Based on the obtained SPF simulation values ​​before and after the seawater bath, the seawater resistance was determined according to the following criteria.

[0074] [4-level evaluation criteria] (Judgment criteria) : (Judgment) (SPF measurement after swimming) / (SPF measurement before swimming) = 0.9 or higher: ◎ (Excellent) (SPF measurement after swimming) / (SPF measurement before swimming) = 0.7 or higher, less than 0.9: ○ (Good) (SPF measurement after swimming) / (SPF measurement before swimming) = 0.5 or higher, less than 0.7: △ (Somewhat unsuitable) (SPF measurement after swimming) / (SPF measurement before swimming) = less than 0.5: × (Not allowed)

[0075] [H. The coating film does not feel burdensome.] Ten women in their 20s to 40s, trained in sensory evaluation and capable of evaluating according to a set standard, were selected as a cosmetics expert panel. Each 0.5g sample was evaluated by the cosmetics expert panel at 2mg / cm³. 2 The product was applied to the skin in the following manner, and after drying, the feeling of no burden on the skin was scored using the following 5-point absolute evaluation scale. For each sample, the average score was calculated from the sum of the scores of all panel members, and the result was evaluated according to the following 4-point evaluation criteria.

[0076] [Absolute evaluation criteria] (Rating) : (Evaluation) 4 points: No feeling of burden 3 points: I hardly feel any burden. 2 points: I feel burdened. 1 point: I feel very burdened.

[0077] [4-level evaluation criteria] (Average score): (Judgment) 3.2 points or higher: ◎ (Excellent) 2.8 points or higher, less than 3.2 points: ○ (Good) 1.6 points or higher, less than 2.8 points: △ (Slightly Poor) 1.6 points or less: × (Poor)

[0078] [II. Effect of suppressing the elution of metal ions] To assess the effect of suppressing the elution of metal ions, 100 mg of each sample was uniformly applied by finger to a 10 cm x 5 cm area on a glass plate (20 cm wide, 10 cm long, 0.5 cm thick), and left to stand for 12 hours to create a coated sample. The coated sample was attached to the side of a glass tank (68 L capacity, 65 cm wide x 30 cm long x 35 cm high) containing 50 L of seawater (1800 g of artificial seawater mix (manufactured by GEX) dissolved in 50 kg of purified water), and the seawater in the container was stirred at 50 rpm using a paddle mixer for one week. 20 mL of the stirred seawater was taken and centrifuged at 50,000 rpm for 30 minutes using an ultracentrifuge (CS100FNX: manufactured by Eppendorf Hi-Mac Technologies, Inc.) to allow insoluble matter to settle. 5 mL of the supernatant after centrifugation was collected, and zinc and titanium ions were quantified using ICP-OES (Optima 5300DV: PerkinElmer). Based on the obtained quantification values, the metal ion concentration in the seawater (total of zinc and titanium ion concentrations) was calculated, and the effect of suppressing metal ion elution was evaluated according to the following criteria. The following criteria were determined based on the zinc ion concentration of 0.1 ppm in seawater, which significantly adversely affected the growth of Stylophora pistillata, a type of hard coral, in the experiment described in Reference 1. A concentration of less than 0.05 ppm was preferred, and less than 0.01 ppm was considered even more preferred.

[0079] [4-level evaluation criteria] (Evaluation) : (Judgment) Metal ion concentration in seawater = less than 0.01 ppm: ◎ (Excellent) Metal ion concentration in seawater = 0.01 ppm or higher and less than 0.05 ppm: ○ (Good) Metal ion concentration in seawater = 0.05 ppm or higher and less than 0.1 ppm: △ (Somewhat unacceptable) Metal ion concentration in seawater = 0.1 ppm or higher: × (Not acceptable)

[0080] As is clear from Tables 1 and 2, the water-in-oil sunscreen creams of Examples 1 to 10 of the present invention were excellent in all aspects, including "ultraviolet protection effect," "seawater resistance," "lack of burden on the applied film," and "inhibition of metal ion elution effect."

[0081] In contrast, Comparative Example 1, in which the content of component (A) exceeded 40%, showed excellent UV protection, but did not yield satisfactory results in terms of seawater resistance, lack of burden on the coating film, and suppression of metal ion elution. On the other hand, Comparative Example 2, in which the content of component (A) was less than 10%, did not yield satisfactory UV protection. Furthermore, Comparative Example 3, in which zinc oxide and titanium oxide with an average particle size of 100 nm or more were used instead of component (A), did not yield satisfactory results in terms of UV protection and lack of burden on the coating film. Furthermore, Comparative Example 4, in which unhydrophobized zinc oxide and titanium oxide with an average particle size of less than 100 nm were used instead of component (A), did not yield satisfactory results in terms of UV protection, lack of burden on the coating film, and suppression of metal ion elution. In Comparative Examples 5 or 6, which used agarose or dextran, which have high gelling performance and readily form films, instead of component (B), and in Comparative Examples 7 and 8, which used neutralized (sodium salt form) carbomer or (acrylates / alkyl acrylate) crosspolymer, satisfactory results were not obtained in terms of seawater resistance and suppression of metal ion elution. Furthermore, in Comparative Examples 9 and 10, which used trimethylsiloxysilicate or acrylate silicone, which are commonly used as oil-soluble film-forming agents, instead of component (B), satisfactory results were not obtained in terms of seawater resistance, lack of burden on the coated film, and suppression of metal ion elution.
