Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising pentaerythrityl tetra-di-t-butylhydroxyhydrocinnamate, benzotrizolyldodecyl p-cresol, and indole, and can provide a cosmetic composition in which discoloration of the composition is prevented or improved. Background Technology

[0003] As consumer tastes have recently become more diverse and sophisticated, cosmetic brands emphasizing a refined image are increasingly selling colored cosmetic formulations in transparent containers that allow the contents to be clearly visible. Transparent containers have the advantage of enabling consumers to directly check the color or formulation of the contents and can present a visually clean and sophisticated image.

[0005] However, when a colored cosmetic composition is filled into a transparent container, discoloration or fading of the composition may occur due to exposure to light, temperature changes, oxidation reactions, or catalytic action by metal ions, and aesthetic appeal may be reduced. In some cases, problems such as the occurrence of off-odor or compromise of formulation stability may also occur.

[0006] In particular, as consumers place increasing importance on fragrance, fragrance components containing an indole backbone structure are frequently used in fragrance compositions; consequently, discoloration or fading issues can become more severe in cosmetic compositions incorporating these components. This is because indole components easily oxidize or undergo decomposition reactions under UV irradiation or in the presence of oxygen or metal ions, which can lead to rapid discoloration or fading.

[0008] Conventionally, methods involving the inclusion of various auxiliary agents or additives, such as antioxidants and chelating agents, into the composition have been used to address these issues. However, since indole components are structurally sensitive to oxidation and decomposition, it is often difficult to effectively suppress discoloration using only general antioxidants or chelating agents.

[0009] Therefore, there is an increasing need for new technology capable of suppressing discoloration or fading of cosmetic compositions containing indole components within transparent containers. Prior art literature
