Background Technology

[0003] Traditionally, perfume has been defined as a liquid substance containing alcohol-based fragrance oils, available in forms such as Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette, and Cologne. These liquid perfumes are typically contained in glass bottles and are used by spraying or applying to the skin.

[0004] These liquid perfumes carry a high risk of glass container breakage, and there are transportation restrictions, such as limits on carrying liquids, particularly during air travel. Additionally, if stored for a long time, the alcohol evaporates more quickly, which can cause the scent to change. Furthermore, the alcohol contained in traditional perfumes can cause skin irritation and has a drying effect on the skin.

[0005] To address these issues, ongoing efforts are being made to create alcohol-free perfumes in gel or solid forms. Solid perfumes are primarily composed of waxes and oils; they fix the fragrance in a gel-like form and offer the advantages of greater portability and durability. Additionally, due to their gel form, the scent lingers on the skin for a longer period after application, and more controlled use is possible, reducing fragrance waste and excessive application.

[0032] FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for manufacturing a gel-type perfume according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 1.

[0033] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a gel-type perfume and a gel-type perfume composition.

[0035] A method for preparing a gel-type perfume composition according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: (S1) a step of preparing a liquid mixture by mixing silicone and a silicone elastomer; (S2) a step of adding a silicone gelling agent to the liquid mixture prepared in step S1 and then dissolving it while heating; (S3) a step of cooling the mixture prepared in step S2 and adding a fragrance and stirring; and (S4) a step of cooling the mixture prepared in step S3.

[0037] (S1 stage)

[0038] If necessary, the step of preparing a liquid mixture by mixing silicone and silicone elastomer may include the step of preparing a liquid mixture by mixing and stirring 10 to 60 wt% of silicone and 10 to 80 wt% of silicone elastomer. Silicone may be one or more materials included in the silicone group, and silicone elastomer may also refer to one or more materials included in the silicone elastomer group. The silicone and silicone elastomer may be stirred in a stirrer to form a viscous liquid mixture.

[0039] If necessary, the gel-type perfume composition may comprise 10 to 60 wt%, 15 to 45 wt%, 10 to 40 wt%, 10 to 35 wt%, 15 to 35 wt%, 5 to 35 wt%, 5 to 40 wt%, and 5 to 50 wt% of silicone, and the gel-type perfume composition may comprise 10 to 80 wt%, 20 to 80 wt%, 20 to 70 wt%, 20 to 80 wt%, 30 to 60 wt%, 30 to 65 wt%, 10 to 70 wt%, and 30 to 50 wt% of silicone elastomer. These values ​​may vary depending on the type of silicone and the type of silicone elastomer.

[0040] Step S1 may involve mixing one or more silicones and one or more silicone elastomers. According to one embodiment, a liquid mixture may be prepared by mixing two silicones and two silicone elastomers.

[0042] (S2 stage)

[0043] According to the method for manufacturing a gel-type perfume, in step S2, a silicone gelling agent is added to the liquid mixture produced through step S1, and the temperature is raised to dissolve all of the silicone gelling agent. More specifically, 0.1 to 20 wt% of a silicone gelling agent is added to the liquid mixture produced through step S1, and the mixture is heated to 70°C to 90°C and mixed to dissolve the silicone gelling agent so that it is uniformly mixed into the liquid mixture. The dissolution temperature may vary depending on the type of silicone gelling agent, and if necessary, it may be dissolved at 80°C to 90°C. If the temperature is lower than a preset standard, the silicone gelling agent does not completely dissolve, so a uniform mixture cannot be formed; if the temperature is higher than a preset standard, phase separation may occur, so a uniform mixture cannot be formed. Therefore, the composition must be mixed within a preset temperature range.

[0044] If necessary, the silicone gelling agent may be included in an amount of 0.1 to 20 wt%, 1 to 20 wt%, 2 to 20 wt%, 5 to 20 wt%, 10 to 20 wt%, 0.1 to 15 wt%, and 0.1 to 10 wt%.

[0045] If necessary, step S2 may include the operation of adding two or more silicone gelling agents and dissolving them. By adding one or more silicone gelling agents, a gel-type perfume composition having various effects can be produced.

[0047] (S3 stage)

[0048] This is the step of cooling the mixture generated in step S3 and then adding fragrance. Since the fragrance substances disappear when the temperature exceeds a certain level, the mixture must be cooled before mixing. Also, if the temperature is too low, the mixture gels and does not mix well, so it must be cooled to an appropriate temperature range before mixing.

[0049] More specifically, Step S3 refers to a step in which the material generated in Step S2 is cooled to 60 to 70 degrees, 0.1 to 30 wt% of fragrance is added thereto, and the mixture is mixed while stirring. When the material generated in Step S2 is cooled to 60 degrees or lower, the mixture gels and the fragrance is not homogeneously mixed; when the generated material is cooled to 70 degrees or higher, the fragrance evaporates, resulting in a characteristic where the scent of the resulting solid perfume is weak.

[0050] If necessary, step S3 may mean a step of cooling the material produced in step S2 to 65 degrees, adding 0.1 to 30 wt% of a fragrance to it, and mixing it while stirring.

[0051] If necessary, the gel-type fragrance composition may contain 0.1 to 20 wt%, 1 to 20 wt%, 5 to 20 wt%, 10 to 20 wt%, 1 to 30 wt%, 5 to 30 wt%, or 10 to 30 wt% of fragrance. This may vary depending on the type of fragrance and the characteristics of the product.

[0053] (S4 stage)

[0054] It refers to the step of cooling the mixture generated through step S3.

[0055] If necessary, step S4 may include a step of cooling the mixture until the specific gravity becomes 0.9 to 1.05.

[0056] According to another embodiment, step S4 may mean a step of cooling the mixture until the temperature reaches 40 to 50 degrees. If necessary, step S4 may mean a step of cooling the mixture to room temperature. After formulation verification, the cooled mixture may be packaged and commercialized.

[0058] Another embodiment of the present invention may be a gel-type perfume composition prepared according to the gel-type perfume manufacturing method.

[0059] A gel-type perfume composition according to another embodiment of the present invention may comprise, based on 100 wt% of the gel-type perfume composition, 15 to 40 wt% silicone, 30 to 70 wt% silicone elastomer, 1 to 20 wt% silicone gelling agent; and 0.1 to 30 wt% fragrance. At this time, the resulting gel-type perfume composition may have a specific gravity of 0.9 to 1.05.

[0060] The gel-type perfume composition produced according to the present invention may have a viscosity of 10,000 cP or more and 999,999 cP or less. More specifically, the viscosity of the gel-type perfume composition may be 100,000 cP or more and 500,000 cP or less. If the viscosity is too high, spreadability is poor, and if the viscosity is too low, the fragrance may be applied to too localized areas, so it must be produced with a viscosity greater than or equal to a preset level.

[0061] FIG. 2 is a diagram for testing the water-repellent power of a gel-type perfume composition produced according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, it can be confirmed that when the gel-type perfume composition prepared according to the present invention is applied, it has excellent water-repellent power.

[0063] According to a specific embodiment, the gel-type perfume composition may be a composition in which a fragrance is mixed after mixing a dimethicone or cyclopentasiloxane silicone, a dimethicone / vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer silicone elastomer, and a polyglyceryl-6 octastearate / glyceryl behenate silicone gelling agent.

[0065] A gel-type perfume composition produced according to one embodiment of the present invention includes silicone and a silicone-based elastomer, and has the advantage of not being sticky in the formulation itself and not being easily washed off by water or sweat. This helps the fragrance of the perfume to last for a long time and spread effectively. In addition, the translucent gel-type perfume composition does not stain clothing, allowing for convenient use by the user and enabling the use of perfume in daily life without burden. Furthermore, the gel-type perfume contains a silicone-based elastomer and a gelling agent, so the fragrance remains stable in the formulation and can be used for a long time without changes in scent. It eliminates concerns about leakage like liquid perfume, is easy to carry and use anywhere, is easy to store as it does not contain water, and has a stable formulation that is resistant to temperature changes and can be used safely for a long period.
