Description

Cosmetic composition for hair straightening and hair care comprising reducing agent nanoparticles combined with polyphenols

[0001] The present invention relates to an oxygen-reactive polyphenol composition that utilizes polyphenol-reducing agent complex nanoparticles to modify the hair structure, thereby restoring hair styling (straightening) and caring for damaged hair, a method for manufacturing the same, and an application technology.

[0002] With the development of the Internet and social networking services (SNS), a social atmosphere that prioritizes individual personality and personal taste is becoming stronger. In particular, an increasing number of people are using SNS to express themselves and place importance on feedback from others. Consequently, people have begun to pay more attention to their appearance, investing more time and money in skincare, hair care, and fashion management, leading to a steady expansion of related industries.

[0003] Hair styling is one of the important factors determining one's external image, and as interest in this increases, the types and functions of related products are also becoming more diverse. For example, a wide variety of products are being released, including cleansing products such as hair shampoo, conditioner, and cleansing oil, as well as styling products such as hair spray, hair mousse / foam, hair gel, hair wax / pomade, hair cream / lotion, and hair powder, and hair care products such as hair mask / pack, hair essence / oil, hair mist, and hair serum.

[0004] Meanwhile, people's hair characteristics vary depending on genetics, and those with curly or wavy hair often struggle with styling due to the tendency for their hair to become frizzy. In particular, the high humidity and temperatures of summer cause styled hair to easily unravel, become limp, or turn frizzy.

[0005] Frizzy hair is known to occur when water penetrates the hair in a humid environment, altering the chemical bonds within the hair. When styling hair using tools such as hair dryers or irons, moisture evaporates during the drying process, forming hydrogen bonds between protein peptide chains to hold the hairstyle in place. However, if moisture re-penetrates the hair due to high humidity, these hydrogen bonds break, causing the hair to revert to its original state.

[0006] Therefore, in order to solve the aforementioned problems, there is a need for the development of hair cosmetics that can maintain the shape of the hair without damage by breaking down the disulfide structure of the hair and recombining the hair structure solely through the use of hair cosmetics.

[0007] Accordingly, in order to solve the above problem, the inventors of the present invention sought to provide a hair product that can achieve a hair styling effect of straightening curly hair through reducing agent nanoparticles and polyphenol coating, while also enabling hair styling without damage by utilizing the hair care effect of polyphenols. The present invention was completed by determining the content of polyphenol and reducing agent such that reducing agent nanoparticles combined with polyphenols are formed while the above effect is expressed.

[0008] Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic composition for hair straightening and hair care comprising reducing agent nanoparticles combined with polyphenols.

[0009] One aspect of the present invention is a cosmetic composition for hair comprising reducing agent nanoparticles combined with polyphenols and a solvent.

[0010] The above-mentioned cosmetic composition for hair is characterized by being for hair straightening and hair care.

[0011] As used in this invention, the term “hair” refers to thread-like structures emerging from the surface of the skin, encompassing both scalp hair and body hair.

[0012] The term “hair straightening” as used in this invention refers to the process of straightening naturally wavy hair, such as curly or wavy hair, or hair that has been artificially modified. In other words, it means eliminating the curves of the hair and maintaining it in a smooth, straight line; to achieve this, it refers to temporarily or semi-permanently altering the shape of the hair by changing its hydrogen bonds or disulfide bonds.

[0013] The term “hair care” as used in this invention refers to any act of managing hair to maintain or improve its health or aesthetic condition. That is, it includes not only keeping hair clean, but also repairing and protecting damaged hair, supplying nutrition and moisture, and maintaining scalp health.

[0014] Therefore, when the present invention is applied to hair, the curls of the hair disappear and are neatly arranged, damaged hair is restored, mechanical strength is improved, the surface becomes smooth, and antistatic properties are imparted.

[0015] The polyphenol of the present invention combines with a reducing agent to increase the size of nanoparticles, and as the polyphenol coats the hair, it brings the distance between the reducing agent and the hair closer, thereby amplifying the action of the reducing agent, and plays a role in restoring hair damage caused by the reducing agent through a Michael addition reaction between the thiol group of the damaged hair and the quinone of the polyphenol.

[0016] The above polyphenol may be one or more selected from the group consisting of gallic acid, tannic acid, catechin, caffeic acid, cyanidin, anthocyanidin, cyanidin-3-glucoside, cyanidin-3-rutinoside, and 2,2',4,4',5,5'-hexahydroxybiphenyl, but is not limited thereto.

[0069] As shown in Figure 1, in Example 8, it was confirmed that the composition aggregated and precipitated through a chelation reaction with polyphenol due to an excessive content of inorganic reducing agent. In Example 15, it was confirmed that undissolved gallic acid precipitated due to an excessive content of gallic acid. In Example 20, it was confirmed that undissolved tannic acid precipitated due to an excessive content of tannic acid. In Example 25, it was confirmed that undissolved gallic acid precipitated by adding a gallic acid content greater than the solubility of gallic acid. From this, it was confirmed that the cosmetic compositions of Examples 8, 15, 20, and 25 had reduced solubility and stability.

[0070] In addition, it was confirmed that using organic reducing agents is difficult due to their characteristic scent.

[0071]

[0072] Experimental Example 2. Confirmation of the structure of a cosmetic composition for hair straightening and hair care

[0073] The compositions of Examples 1 to 7, 9 to 14, 16 to 19, 21 to 24 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 were structurally analyzed using FT-IR (Madison, Thermo Scientific) and a nanoparticle size analyzer (Zetasize Nano, Malvern). Table 3 below shows the FT-IR spectra of each composition, and Table 4 below shows the particle sizes.

[0075]

[0076] Examples 1 to 7, 9 to 14, 18 to 19, 22 to 24 and Comparative Example 4 showed a further shift in the hydroxyl group peak compared to Comparative Examples 2 to 3 and 6. Examples 16 and 21 did not show a shift in the hydroxyl group peak because the hydrogen bonding was not strong, but Examples 1 to 7, 9 to 14, and 16 to 24, which contained an inorganic or organic reducing agent and a polyphenol, showed increased hydrogen bonding due to the compounds being closely bonded to each other, as confirmed by the positional shift of the hydroxyl group peak.

[0078]

[0079] It was confirmed that Examples 1 to 7 showed an increase in particle size compared to Comparative Example 4, due to bonding between polyphenols and inorganic reducing agents through a chelation reaction. Similarly, Examples 9 to 11 showed an increase in particle size compared to Comparative Example 4, due to bonding between polyphenols and organic reducing agents through hydrogen bonding. Examples 12 to 14 showed an increase in particle size as the proportion of gallic acid increased, leading to more chelation reactions between gallic acid and inorganic reducing agents. Examples 16 to 19 showed an increase in particle size as the content of tannic acid increased, as the chelation reaction with inorganic reducing agents occurred more effectively. Examples 21 to 24 showed an increase in particle size as the content of gallic acid increased, as the chelation reaction with inorganic reducing agents occurred more effectively.

[0080]

[0081] Experimental Example 3. Confirmation of conductivity of cosmetic composition for hair straightening and hair care

[0082] The compositions prepared according to Examples 1 to 7, 9 to 14, 16 to 19, 21 to 24 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 were dip-coated onto a silicon wafer (Si wafer) substrate at room temperature for 12 hours. After dip-coating, the substrate was washed with distilled water and dried to obtain a substrate coated with a cosmetic composition for hair straightening and hair care. The conductivity of the cosmetic composition for hair straightening and hair care was measured on the obtained substrate using a Sourcemeter (Keithley 2450). Each measurement was performed three times, and the average of the measured values ​​is shown in Table 5 below.

[0084]

[0085] Comparative Example 5 had ionic conductivity and relatively low resistance, but it was confirmed that Comparative Example 6 had higher resistance and lower conductivity compared to Comparative Examples 1 to 5. Examples 1 to 7, 9 to 14, 16 to 19, and 21 to 24 were confirmed to have lower resistance compared to Comparative Example 1 due to the surface coating of polyphenol and reducing agent. Examples 1 to 7, 9 to 11, 13 to 14, 18 to 19, and 23 to 24 were found to exhibit excellent antistatic effects by having higher conductivity than Comparative Examples 1 to 4 and efficiently dissipating the electrostatic charge of the hair. Examples 12, 16 to 17, and 21 to 22 had lower content of tannic acid and gallic acid, so their resistance was relatively higher than Comparative Examples 2 to 4, but it was confirmed that they exhibited antistatic effects through a decrease in resistance compared to Comparative Example 1.

[0086]

[0087] Experimental Example 4. Confirmation of surface contact angle of cosmetic composition for hair straightening and hair care

[0088] The compositions prepared according to Examples 1 to 7, 9 to 14, 16 to 19, 21 to 24 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 were dip-coated onto a silicon wafer (Si wafer) substrate at room temperature for 12 hours. After dip-coating, the substrate was washed with distilled water and dried to obtain a substrate coated with a cosmetic composition for hair straightening and hair care. The surface contact angle of the cosmetic composition for hair straightening and hair care was measured on the obtained substrate using a contact angle meter (Contact angle, DO3210, Kruss), and measurements were taken before and after washing during 10 washes. Each measurement was performed three times, and the average of the measurements is shown in Table 6 below.

[0090]

[0091] Examples 1 to 7, 9 to 14, 18 to 19, 22 to 24 and Comparative Examples 2 to 4 showed almost no change in the surface contact angle of the coated surface even after washing 10 times with distilled water, whereas Examples 12, 16, and 21 showed a slight change in the contact angle of the coated surface after washing 10 times with distilled water, and Comparative Examples 5 to 6 showed a large change in the contact angle. Through this, it was confirmed that the coating stability of a surface coated with a cosmetic composition for hair straightening and hair care that does not contain polyphenols decreases when exposed to frequent washing.

[0092]

[0093] Experimental Example 5. Evaluation of Hair Styling Changes of a Cosmetic Composition for Hair Straightening and Hair Care

[0094] Wavy hair was immersed in the compositions of Examples 1 to 7, 9 to 14, 16 to 19, 21 to 24 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 and left for 30 minutes. Afterward, the hair was washed with water and shampoo, and changes in the hair were checked (Fig. 2).

[0095] It was confirmed that hair treated with the compositions of Comparative Examples 1 to 4 showed no change in hair curl. It was confirmed that in Comparative Examples 5 to 6, the reducing agent changed the structure of the hair, causing the hair curl to loosen and become neatly arranged.

[0096] As a result of treating with the compositions of Examples 1 to 4, it was confirmed that regardless of the type of inorganic reducing agent, the inorganic reducing agent changes the hair structure, causing the curls to disappear and the hair to become calm and neat. When comparing the changes in hair styling according to the content of the inorganic reducing agent in Examples 5 to 7, it was confirmed that in Example 5, the hair curls were maintained because the content of the inorganic reducing agent was low, whereas in Examples 6 and 7, the hair curls loosened and the hair became calm and neat due to the increased inorganic reducing agent.

[0097] In Examples 9 to 11, changes in hair styling according to the content of the organic reducing agent were compared. In Example 9, the hair curl was maintained due to the low content of the organic reducing agent, while in Examples 10 and 11, it was confirmed that the hair curl was loosened and styled calmly due to the increased organic reducing agent.

[0098] As a result of comparing the changes in hair styling according to the ratio of tannic acid and gallic acid in Examples 12 to 14, Examples 16 to 19, and Examples 21 to 24, it was confirmed that compared to Example 1, the hair curls loosened and were styled calmly due to the inorganic reducing agent, regardless of the polyphenol content.

[0099] This is because the polyphenol in the cosmetic composition for hair straightening and hair care forms a chelation with an inorganic reducing agent or a hydrogen bond with an organic reducing agent, thereby bringing the distance between the reducing agent and the hair closer when the polyphenol is coated on the hair, which accelerates the reaction rate; thus, a superior effect in styling straightening was confirmed compared to Comparative Examples 5 and 6, in which an inorganic reducing agent or an organic reducing agent was used alone.

[0100]

[0101] Experimental Example 6. Evaluation of TNB formation characteristics of cosmetic compositions for hair straightening and hair care

[0102] 4 mg of DTNB (5,5′-Dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid)) was dissolved in 1 mL of 2% SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate) aqueous solution, and then a DTNB solution was prepared.

[0103] 0.25 mL of cosmetic compositions for hair straightening and hair care prepared according to Examples 1 to 7, 9 to 14, 16 to 19, 21 to 24 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 were mixed with 0.05 mL of DTNB solution and 2.5 mL of 2% SDS aqueous solution and incubated at room temperature for 15 minutes. The concentration of TNB (2-nitro-5-mercaptobenzoic acid) generated in the mixed solution was measured by comparing the 412 nm absorbance peaks using UV-Vis, and the results are shown in Figure 3 and Table 7.

[0104] Referring to Figure 3 and Table 7, it can be seen that Comparative Examples 2 to 4, which contain only polyphenols and no reducing agent, did not show a significant increase in TNB compared to Comparative Example 1. On the other hand, it was confirmed that the TNB concentration increased in Comparative Examples 5 to 6, which contain an inorganic reducing agent or an organic reducing agent. This is because the disulfide bonds of DTNB were broken by the inorganic reducing agent (sodium sulfate) or the organic reducing agent (cysteine), and TNB was formed.

[0105] Additionally, when comparing the TNB formation concentrations in Examples 1 to 4 prepared according to the type of inorganic reducing agent (sodium sulfate, sodium sulfite, sodium bisulfite, and sodium metabisulfite), it was confirmed that the results were similar. Furthermore, when comparing the TNB concentrations in Examples 1, 5 to 7, and 9 to 11 prepared according to the content of the reducing agent sodium sulfate or cysteine, it was shown that the TNB formation concentration increased as the content of the reducing agent sodium sulfate or cysteine ​​increased. As the content of the reducing agent increased, more disulfide bonds of DTNB were broken, and consequently, the amount of TNB formed increased.

[0106] In addition, to compare the TNB formation concentration according to the content of polyphenols tannic acid and gallic acid, the TNB formation concentrations in cosmetic compositions for hair straightening and hair care prepared according to Examples 12 to 14, 16 to 24, and Comparative Example 5 were compared. When Examples 12 to 14 and 16 to 24 were compared with Example 1 and Comparative Example 5, it was confirmed that the TNB formation concentration decreased as the content of tannic acid and gallic acid increased. However, among them, Examples 12, 16, and 21 had low content of tannic acid and gallic acid, so it was confirmed that no distinct change in TNB concentration was observed.

[0107] This is because when polyphenol-containing nanoparticles are treated, the thiol structure of TNB generated by an inorganic or organic reducing agent undergoes a Michael addition reaction with the quinone of the polyphenol, resulting in a decrease in the concentration of TNB.

[0109]

[0110] Experimental Example 7. Changes in hair styling of a shampoo composition for hair straightening and hair care

[0111] Changes in hair styling were evaluated using shampoo compositions for hair straightening and hair care prepared according to Examples 26 to 38 and Comparative Examples 7 to 12.

[0112] Wave hair samples were shampooed and dried using shampoo compositions for hair straightening and hair care according to Examples 26 to 38 and Comparative Examples 7 to 12, respectively. Images of the hair after drying are shown in FIG. 4.

[0113] It was confirmed that there was no change in the hair curl when treated with the compositions of Comparative Examples 7 to 10. When treated with the compositions of Comparative Examples 11 to 12, it was confirmed that the hair curls loosened and were neatly arranged as the reducing agent changed the structure of the hair.

[0114] As a result of treating with the compositions of Examples 26 to 30, it was confirmed that regardless of the type of reducing agent (inorganic reducing agent, organic reducing agent), the reducing agent changes the hair structure, causing the curls to disappear and the hair to become calm and tidy. However, it was confirmed that shampoos using organic reducing agents are not suitable as shampoos due to the characteristic scent of organic reducing agents.

[0115] As a result of comparing the changes in hair styling according to the content of the inorganic reducing agent in Examples 31 and 32, it was confirmed that in Example 31, the effect of loosening the hair curls was minimal because the content of the inorganic reducing agent was low, while in Example 32, it was confirmed that the hair curls loosened and were styled calmly due to the inorganic reducing agent.

[0116] As a result of comparing the changes in hair styling according to the ratio of tannic acid and gallic acid in Examples 33 to 38, it was confirmed that compared to Example 26, the hair curls loosened and were styled calmly due to the inorganic reducing agent regardless of polyphenol.

[0117] This is because the polyphenol in the shampoo composition for hair straightening and hair care forms a chelation with an inorganic reducing agent or a hydrogen bond with an organic reducing agent, thereby bringing the distance between the reducing agent and the hair closer when the polyphenol is coated on the hair, which accelerates the reaction rate; thus, a superior effect in styling straightening was confirmed compared to Comparative Examples 11 and 12, in which an inorganic reducing agent or an organic reducing agent was used alone.

[0118]

[0119] Experimental Example 8. Evaluation of the relative content of damaged hair (thiol groups) in a shampoo composition for hair straightening and hair care

[0120] 4 mg of DTNB (5,5′-Dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid)) was dissolved in 1 mL of 2% SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate) aqueous solution, and then 90 μL was diluted in 4.91 mL of 2% SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate) aqueous solution to prepare a DTNB solution.

[0121] Damaged hair samples treated with shampoo compositions for hair straightening and hair care prepared according to Examples 26 to 38 and Comparative Examples 7 to 12 were immersed in a DTNB solution and incubated at room temperature for 15 minutes. The relative content (%) of damaged hair (thiol groups) in the mixed solution was measured by comparing the 412 nm absorbance peaks using UV-Vis, and the results are shown in Figure 5 and Table 8.

[0122] Referring to Figure 5 and Table 8, it was confirmed that Comparative Examples 8 to 10, which contain only polyphenols and do not contain reducing agents, showed a decrease in the relative content of damaged hair (thiol groups) compared to Comparative Example 7. Additionally, it was confirmed that Comparative Examples 11 to 12 showed an increase in the relative content of damaged hair (thiol groups). This is because, upon treatment with a shampoo containing polyphenols, the quinones of the polyphenols reacted with the thiol structure of the damaged hair through a Michael addition reaction, thereby reducing the relative content of damaged hair (thiol groups) within the hair. Meanwhile, inorganic reducing agents (sodium sulfate, sodium sulfite, sodium bisulfite, and sodium metabisulfite) or organic reducing agents (cysteine) contained in the shampoo break down the disulfide structure of hair keratin, thus increasing the relative content of damaged hair (thiol groups) within the hair.

[0123] Additionally, Examples 26 to 30 were compared to evaluate the relative content of damaged hair (thiol groups) in the hair according to the type of reducing agent (inorganic reducing agent and organic reducing agent). Although there was no significant difference in the relative content of damaged hair (thiol groups) in the hair according to the type of inorganic reducing agent (sodium sulfate, sodium sulfite, sodium bisulfite, sodium metabisulfite), it was found that the relative content of damaged hair (thiol groups) in the hair increased when the organic reducing agent cysteine ​​was included compared to when the inorganic reducing agent was included.

[0124] Examples 26, 31 to 32 were compared to compare the relative content of damaged hair (thiol groups) in the hair according to the content of the reducing agent. It was confirmed that as the content of sodium sulfate, the reducing agent, increased, it broke more disulfide bonds in the hair, resulting in an increase in the relative content of damaged hair (thiol groups) in the hair.

[0125] Additionally, Examples 33 to 38 and Comparative Example 11 were compared to compare the relative content of damaged hair (thiol groups) in the hair according to the content of polyphenols, gallic acid and tannic acid. It was confirmed that the relative content of damaged hair (thiol groups) in the hair decreased as the content of polyphenols, gallic acid and tannic acid, increased, but it was confirmed that when the tannic acid content exceeded 50 mg, there was no significant change in the relative content of damaged hair (thiol groups) in the hair. This is because when treated with a shampoo containing polyphenols, the thiol structure generated by the reducing agent undergoes a Michael addition reaction with the quinone of the polyphenol, so the relative content of damaged hair (thiol groups) in the hair decreased further compared to the case where only the reducing agent was used.

[0128] Experimental Example 9. Confirmation of mechanical strength of hair treated with a shampoo composition for hair straightening and hair care

[0129] Shampoo compositions for hair straightening and hair care prepared according to Examples 26 to 38 and Comparative Examples 7 to 12 were applied to damaged hair samples, and then washed off with water after 30 minutes. The hair samples were completely dried with a dryer.

[0130] Tensile tests were performed on damaged hair samples treated with the shampoo compositions using a universal testing machine (SurTA Extra 1A system, Chemilab Co.). The distance between the grips of the universal testing machine was set to 13.5 cm, and the damaged hair samples were placed between them and subjected to tensile testing at a speed of 10 mm / s. Each measurement was taken three times, and the tensile strain (%) of the damaged hair samples treated with the shampoo compositions of Examples 26 to 38 and Comparative Examples 7 to 12 is shown in Fig. 6.

[0131] Referring to FIG. 6, it was confirmed that the tensile strain of hair samples treated with the shampoo compositions of Comparative Examples 8 to 10 increased from 43.6% to 54.7%, 53.4%, and 56.4% compared to the damaged hair sample treated with the shampoo composition of Comparative Example 7. This indicates that mechanical strength is improved by restoring damaged hair through the coating of polyphenols.

[0132] In Comparative Examples 11 and 12, it was confirmed that the tensile strain decreased to 24.8% (Comparative Example 11) and 5.2% (Comparative Example 12) as hair damage occurred due to the reducing agent (inorganic reducing agent or organic reducing agent).

[0133] It was confirmed that the tensile strain of the hair samples treated with Examples 26 to 38 increased compared to Comparative Example 7. This indicates that, despite the hair being damaged by the reducing agent, the mechanical strength is improved through the restoration of hair damage by the polyphenols coated on the hair by the polyphenols combined with the reducing agent in the hair straightening and hair care compositions.

[0136] Experimental Example 10. Confirmation of the surface condition of hair treated with a shampoo composition for hair straightening and hair care

[0137] The compositions of Examples 26, 30, 35, 38 and Comparative Examples 7 to 12 were applied to damaged hair samples, and then washed off with water after 30 minutes. The hair samples were prepared by completely drying them with a hair dryer.

[0138] The surface of each hair sample was observed using a scanning electron microscope (JSM-6700F, JEOL) and is shown in Fig. 7 (the inserted scale bar represents 10 μm).

[0139] Referring to FIG. 7, in the hair samples treated with the shampoo compositions of Comparative Examples 7 and 11 to 12, the hair surface was found to be rough or damaged, and in particular, in the case of Comparative Examples 11 to 12, it was confirmed that more hair damage occurred due to the inorganic or organic reducing agent. In the hair samples treated with the shampoo compositions of Examples 26, 30, 35, 38 and Comparative Examples 8 to 10, it was confirmed that the hair surface was coated due to the polyphenols included in the shampoo composition, resulting in a smooth surface.

[0140]

[0141] Experimental Example 11. Evaluation of antistatic properties of hair treated with a shampoo composition for hair straightening and hair care

[0142] The shampoo compositions of Examples 26, 30, 35, 38 and Comparative Examples 7 to 12 were applied to damaged hair samples, and then washed with water after 30 minutes. The hair samples were prepared by completely drying them with a hair dryer. A rubber balloon was filled with air, rubbed three times with a cotton cloth, and then placed near each hair sample, and the results are shown in FIG. 8.

[0143] Referring to FIG. 8, it was confirmed that static electricity was generated in the hair samples treated with the shampoo compositions of Comparative Examples 7 and 11 to 12, and in particular, in the case of Comparative Examples 11 to 12, it was confirmed that more damage occurred to the hair due to the inorganic or organic reducing agent, resulting in more severe static electricity. In the case of hair samples treated with the shampoo compositions of Examples 26, 30, 35, 38 and Comparative Examples 8 to 10, it was confirmed that antistatic properties were imparted due to the conductivity of the polyphenols included in the shampoo compositions.
