Description

composition

[0001] The present technology relates to a composition containing stearyl glycyrrhetinate and niacinamide or tranexamic acid, and also to an odor improving agent and method for improving the odor of stearyl glycyrrhetinate.

[0002]

[0003] Stearyl glycyrrhetinate, an oil-soluble drug, is a derivative of glycyrrhetinic acid, which is the aglycone of glycyrrhizic acid found in large quantities in plants such as Glycyrrhiza Glabra of the Leguminosae family. Stearyl glycyrrhetinate has anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects, and is known to be highly safe for the human body. For this reason, stearyl glycyrrhetinate is used in a wide variety of cosmetics and topical skin preparations. For example, a topical cream containing a cream base, fucoidan, stearyl glycyrrhetinate, and water, and containing 0.2% by weight or more of the fucoidan in terms of fucose, is disclosed (see Patent Document 1).

[0003] Niacinamide, also known as nicotinamide, is a water-soluble vitamin (vitamin B3). Niacinamide is generally known to have anti-wrinkle and antioxidant properties. For this reason, niacinamide is used in a wide variety of cosmetics and topical skin preparations. For example, Patent Document 2 discloses a technology for an oil-in-water emulsion cosmetic that contains a specific amount of an ultraviolet absorber that is solid at 25°C, a polar oil that is liquid at 25°C, polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil and / or polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid ester, a specific amount of nicotinamide, and a partially crosslinked organopolysiloxane polymer.

[0004] Tranexamic acid is a type of amino acid artificially synthesized from lysine, an essential amino acid that is a component of proteins. Tranexamic acid is generally known to have anti-inflammatory and whitening effects. For this reason, tranexamic acid is used in a wide variety of cosmetics and topical skin preparations. For example, Patent Document 3 discloses a technology for an oil-in-water emulsion-type cosmetic or topical skin preparation that contains tranexamic acid, lysophospholipids, phospholipids, and a specific oil that is liquid at 25°C and has excellent sensory properties and stability over time.

[0006] Conventionally, oil-soluble compounds such as oils have a unique oily odor, and there is a concern that the odor may change over time. On the other hand, stearyl glycyrrhetinate, an oil-soluble drug, is known as a component that has almost no odor, and the concern that the odor may change over time has not been considered. Therefore, the present inventor has focused on the concern that stearyl glycyrrhetinate may change its odor over time, and as a result of intensive research, has newly discovered that stearyl glycyrrhetinate may change its odor over time, generating an unpleasant odor (unpleasant odor). However, regarding the odor change of stearyl glycyrrhetinate, there has been insufficient knowledge about what components are suitable for improving the odor change.

[0007] The main object of the present invention is to provide a technology capable of improving the offensive odor of stearyl glycyrrhetinate, particularly, to provide a technology capable of improving the offensive odor of stearyl glycyrrhetinate promoted by niacinamide or tranexamic acid.

[0008] The present inventors have conducted research focusing on concerns about the offensive odor of stearyl glycyrrhetinate. As a result, they have found that the incorporation of niacinamide or tranexamic acid exacerbates the offensive odor of stearyl glycyrrhetinate over time compared to when niacinamide or tranexamic acid is not incorporated, resulting in the generation of an unpleasant odor (unpleasant odor). This represents a new and unknown problem for stearyl glycyrrhetinate, which has traditionally been considered to have almost no odor and little odor concern. Therefore, the present inventors have conducted extensive trial and error to find components that can improve the offensive odor of stearyl glycyrrhetinate exacerbated by the incorporation of niacinamide or tranexamic acid. As a result, they have found that certain fragrance components have excellent masking effects on the offensive odor of stearyl glycyrrhetinate and excellent matching effects with the offensive odor of stearyl glycyrrhetinate, thereby completing the present invention.

[0135] Hereinafter, the present technology will be described in further detail based on examples, etc. Note that the examples, etc. described below are examples of typical examples, etc. of the present technology, and the scope of the present technology will not be construed as being narrow.

[0136] <Reference Examples 1 to 3> Test for odor change of stearyl glycyrrhetinate with or without niacinamide: Each sample of Reference Examples 1 to 3 in Table 3 was prepared by the following method, and the odor change of stearyl glycyrrhetinate was evaluated and judged according to the evaluation method and criteria shown below. The results are also shown in Table 3.

[0137]

[0138] (Production method) A: Components (1) and (2) were mixed and dissolved. B: Components (3) and (4) were mixed and dissolved. C: After mixing A and B, component (5) was added and mixed to prepare each sample.

[0139] (Evaluation Method 1: Degree of Off-odor of Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate (50°C / 1M)) Regarding the degree of off-odor of stearyl glycyrrhetinate, each sample was stored in a thermostatic chamber at 50°C for one month (1M), and then cooled to room temperature and the fragrance release was evaluated. Using the degree of off-odor confirmed in Reference Example 1 (50°C / 1M) as the standard, six fragrance expert evaluators gave a four-level rating in accordance with the following evaluation criteria, and the average score of all evaluators was calculated and judged. In judging, if the value to the first decimal place of the average score was 5 or less, the decimal points were rounded down, and if it was 6 or more, the decimal points were rounded up. The values ​​shown in Table 3 are as follows:

[0140] [4-level evaluation and judging criteria] (Score and average score): (Evaluation and judging results) 0 points: An oily odor derived from stearyl glycyrrhetinate was detected. -1 point: Compared to 0 point, the oily odor derived from stearyl glycyrrhetinate was slightly stronger. -2 points: Compared to 0 point, the oily odor derived from stearyl glycyrrhetinate was stronger. -3 points: Compared to 0 point, the oily odor derived from stearyl glycyrrhetinate was very stronger.

[0141] As is clear from Table 3, in Reference Example 3 containing stearyl glycyrrhetinate and niacinamide, the offensive odor of stearyl glycyrrhetinate was stronger than in Reference Examples 1 and 2. This result suggests that niacinamide promotes the offensive odor of stearyl glycyrrhetinate. Furthermore, when the niacinamide content was 1% or 2%, the results were similar to those of Reference Example 3.

[0142] Each sample of Examples 1 to 45 and Comparative Examples 1 to 19 in Tables 4 and 5 was prepared by the following method, and the masking effect and matching effect were evaluated according to the evaluation method and criteria shown below. The results are also shown in Tables 4 and 5.

[0143]

[0144]

[0145] (Manufacturing Method) A: Dissolve 1 part by mass of stearyl glycyrrhetinate in 10 parts by mass of dipropylene glycol. B: Dissolve and mix 2 parts by mass of niacinamide in 30 parts by mass of water. C: Mix A and B. D: Adjust the concentration so that the scent of each fragrance component is the same intensity, then add to C and mix. E: Add dipropylene glycol as a correction component to D to make 100 parts by mass, then fill into a glass bottle to obtain each sample. The amount of each fragrance component added shown in Tables 4 and 5 is the mass contained in 100 parts by mass of each sample (composition).

[0146] (Evaluation Method) Six fragrance expert evaluators performed a sensory evaluation of the aroma of each sample at the bottle neck, and verified the masking effect and matching effect of each fragrance component.

[0147] (Evaluation Method 2: Masking Effect (50°C / 1M)) For the masking effect, each sample was stored in a thermostatic chamber at 50°C for one month (1M), and then cooled to room temperature, after which the fragrance release was evaluated. Six fragrance expert evaluators rated the samples on a 5-point scale according to the following evaluation criteria, and the average score of all the evaluators was calculated and judged. The values ​​rounded to the nearest whole number are shown in Tables 4 and 5.

[0148] [5-point rating and judging criteria] (Score and average score): (Rating and judging results) 4 points: Almost no oily odor from stearyl glycyrrhetinate was detected 3 points: A slight oily odor from stearyl glycyrrhetinate was detected 2 points: A slightly strong oily odor from stearyl glycyrrhetinate was detected 1 point: A strong oily odor from stearyl glycyrrhetinate was detected 0 points: A very strong oily odor from stearyl glycyrrhetinate was detected

[0149] (Evaluation Method 3: Matching Effect (50°C / 1M)) The matching effect was examined to see whether the unpleasant odor (oily odor) of stearyl glycyrrhetinate was combined with the fragrance ingredients in Tables 4 and 5 to create a harmonious fragrance. Each sample was stored in a thermostatic chamber at 50°C for one month (1M), and then cooled to room temperature, after which the fragrance release was evaluated. Six fragrance expert evaluators rated the samples on a 5-point scale according to the following evaluation criteria, and the average score of all evaluators was calculated and judged. The values ​​rounded to the nearest whole number are shown in Tables 4 and 5.

[0150] [5-point rating and judging criteria] (Rating and average score): (Rating and judging results) +2 points: The scent blended well with the oily smell from stearyl glycyrrhetinate, creating a pleasant fragrance +1 point: The scent blended well with the oily smell from stearyl glycyrrhetinate, eliminating the unpleasant smell 0 points: There was no change in the unpleasant smell of the oily smell from stearyl glycyrrhetinate -1 point: The unpleasant smell was stronger than the oily smell from stearyl glycyrrhetinate -2 points: The unpleasant smell was worse than the oily smell from stearyl glycyrrhetinate

[0151] From the results in Tables 4 and 5, it can be seen that the contents of anisyl alcohol, farnesol, eugenol, citronellol, α-pinene, 1-hexen-1-ol, linalool, cedryl acetate, Iso E Super, Sandalore, Ambroxan, γ-terpinene, ambrettolide, β-ionone, borneol, and isobutylquinoline in Examples 1 to 45 were significantly higher than those in Examples 1 to 45.
