7.Description:
(en)TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition for the skin. Particularly, the present invention relates to a cosmetic composition having a long-wear property.
BACKGROUND ART
Sebum secreted from the skin affords an emollient effect to the stratum comeum of the skin, prevents intrusion of toxic substances or bacteria from the outside, and controls the release of substances, such as water, out of the body. However, excess sebum secretion has a demerit in that it may cause the makeup to come off. It leads to some phenomena, e.g., a “shiny” or “drab” appearance of the skin, or “unevenness”, “rumpling”, or “disappearance” of the makeup itself, and the like, caused by chronological changes in the cosmetic film formed on the skin.
A variety of investigations have already been conducted from the viewpoint of improving the long-wear property of makeup. For example, should highly moisture-absorbent or oil-absorbent substances, such as porous silica, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, and crystalline cellulose, be mixed into cosmetics, the moisture and sebum components on the skin become adsorbed, which leads to a shortage of skin emollient components and causes a dry skin feeling, and a feeling of skin tightness or skin itchiness. This phenomenon is most likely to occur with persons with dry skin and normal skin, in particular with persons living in an environment where sweat or sebum is secreted less (e.g., persons working in an office). When used on oily skin, these substances have demerits which are apt to present luster due to excess sebum or oily components contained in the cosmetics, thus giving rise to a “shiny” look in the makeup finish.
Under these circumstances, there is a demand for a suitable skin-friendly cosmetic composition which improves the long-wear property of makeup, and can overcome the demerits of the above prior substances.
In view of the above, among the problems to be solved by the present invention is to provide a cosmetic composition which does not obstruct the skin physiology, has a good feeling on the skin, and has a superior long-wear effect for makeup.
Some patent publications describe technology of sebum gelification with metal oxides. For example, JP-B-4961082 discloses a silicone surface treatment with zinc oxide. JP-A-2002-20652 discloses composite particles of and spherical particles coated by silicone-treated zinc oxide. JP-B-3822782 teaches a combination of zinc oxide and hydroxyapatite in a cosmetically acceptable base. JP-B-3702072 discloses a composite where microparticle zinc oxide adheres to a silica surface. JP-B-3073890 discloses a silicone surface treatment with zinc oxide. JP-A-2011-51913 teaches a combination of microparticle titanium dioxide, and at least one chosen from magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, magnesium hydroxide, or calcium hydroxide, and clay. JP-A-2007-277191 teaches that citric acid stabilizes zinc oxide in w/o emulsion cosmetics, though it is silent on the sebum solidification effect.

EXAMPLES
The present invention will be described in a more detailed manner by way of examples. However, these examples should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.
Test Example 1 and Test Comparative Examples 1 to 3
[Preparation]
The following compositions according to Example 1 (Ex. 1) and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 (Comp. Ex. 1 to 3) were respectively prepared by mixing the components shown in Table 1. The numerical values for the amounts of the components are all based on “% by weight” as active raw materials.
Sebum Gelification Test
[Protocol]
The gelification speed of artificial sebum was measured by using the following combination. The mixtures below were each stirred at room temperature for 10 min by a magnetic stirrer. When the magnetic stirrer was stopped due to sebum gelification (sodification) or the composition was moved to the flask wall by the magnetic stirrer and was not returned to the magnetic stirrer, this moment was determined to be the gelification time. One hour after the start of stirring, the cosmetic composition was applied over a contrast card with a 30 μm applicator. The surface shine was then measured at a 60° gloss value of a Glossmeter.

[Results]
As shown in Ex. 1 and Ex. 1′, when magnesium oxide was mixed with magnesium stearate or magnesium 12-hydroxystearate and artificial sebum, the composition formed a gel. The gelified artificial sebum showed the lowest gloss. On the other hand, magnesium oxide alone (Comp. Ex. 1) or magnesium stearate alone (Comp. Ex. 2), did not form a gel. For reference, artificial sebum itself did not turn into a gel (Comp. Ex. 3).
Consequently, the combination of an oxide of a divalent metal (e.g., magnesium oxide) and a metal soap (e.g., magnesium stearate or magnesium 12-hydroxystearate) accelerated sebum gelification, and decreased the shine of sebum, which means a high matte effect.
Consequently, it was confirmed that a combination of magnesium oxide and magnesium stearate or magnesium 12-hydroxystearate showed gelification of artificial sebum and reduced shine of artificial sebum.
Test Example 2
The weight ratio of magnesium oxide and magnesium stearate was evaluated by the sebum gelification test as shown above. A mixture of magnesium oxide and/or magnesium stearate according to the following weight ratio (0.1 g in total) was mixed with 10% of water and 2.0 g of artificial sebum as shown in Table 2. The compositions which failed to gelify in 10 minutes were judged as “NG (no good)”.

Sebum Resistance Test of Liquid Foundation
[Protocol]
Each of the liquid foundations (1.0 g) as prepared above and artificial sebum (0.2 g) were mixed, and the mixture was applied on artificial leather at 2.4 mg/cm 2 , and then the artificial leather (SUPPLALE® from Idemitsu) was dried at 33° C. for 30 min. The reflectance of the foundation film was measured by a goniophotometer (A). The reflectance of the foundation without artificial sebum was also measured (B).
[Results]
Test results are shown in Table 5. The formula according to the present invention (Formulation Example 1) containing both magnesium oxide and magnesium stearate showed lower reflectance compared with comparative formulas (Formulation Comparative Examples 1, 2, and 3) in the presence of artificial sebum. This means that the formula according to the present invention has better sebum resistance than the comparative formula.

6.Claims:
(en)The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising: (i) at least one oxide of an alkaline earth metal (ii) at least one metal soap, preferably a metal salt of C 10-30 fatty acid, and (iii) an aqueous phase. The cosmetic composition according to the present invention can provide a long-wear effect, especially a long-wear makeup effect.
7.Description:
(en)TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition for the skin. Particularly, the present invention relates to a cosmetic composition having a long-wear property.
BACKGROUND ART
Sebum secreted from the skin affords an emollient effect to the stratum comeum of the skin, prevents intrusion of toxic substances or bacteria from the outside, and controls the release of substances, such as water, out of the body. However, excess sebum secretion has a demerit in that it may cause the makeup to come off. It leads to some phenomena, e.g., a “shiny” or “drab” appearance of the skin, or “unevenness”, “rumpling”, or “disappearance” of the makeup itself, and the like, caused by chronological changes in the cosmetic film formed on the skin.
A variety of investigations have already been conducted from the viewpoint of improving the long-wear property of makeup. For example, should highly moisture-absorbent or oil-absorbent substances, such as porous silica, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, and crystalline cellulose, be mixed into cosmetics, the moisture and sebum components on the skin become adsorbed, which leads to a shortage of skin emollient components and causes a dry skin feeling, and a feeling of skin tightness or skin itchiness. This phenomenon is most likely to occur with persons with dry skin and normal skin, in particular with persons living in an environment where sweat or sebum is secreted less (e.g., persons working in an office). When used on oily skin, these substances have demerits which are apt to present luster due to excess sebum or oily components contained in the cosmetics, thus giving rise to a “shiny” look in the makeup finish.
Under these circumstances, there is a demand for a suitable skin-friendly cosmetic composition which improves the long-wear property of makeup, and can overcome the demerits of the above prior substances.
In view of the above, among the problems to be solved by the present invention is to provide a cosmetic composition which does not obstruct the skin physiology, has a good feeling on the skin, and has a superior long-wear effect for makeup.
Some patent publications describe technology of sebum gelification with metal oxides. For example, JP-B-4961082 discloses a silicone surface treatment with zinc oxide. JP-A-2002-20652 discloses composite particles of and spherical particles coated by silicone-treated zinc oxide. JP-B-3822782 teaches a combination of zinc oxide and hydroxyapatite in a cosmetically acceptable base. JP-B-3702072 discloses a composite where microparticle zinc oxide adheres to a silica surface. JP-B-3073890 discloses a silicone surface treatment with zinc oxide. JP-A-2011-51913 teaches a combination of microparticle titanium dioxide, and at least one chosen from magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, magnesium hydroxide, or calcium hydroxide, and clay. JP-A-2007-277191 teaches that citric acid stabilizes zinc oxide in w/o emulsion cosmetics, though it is silent on the sebum solidification effect.

Physiologically Acceptable Medium
Besides the compounds indicated previously, the cosmetic composition according to the present invention comprises a physiologically acceptable medium.
The term “physiologically acceptable medium” is intended to denote a medium that is particularly suitable for applying a composition according to the present invention to the skin.
The physiologically acceptable medium is generally adapted to the nature of the support onto which the cosmetic composition is to be applied, and also to the form in which the cosmetic composition is to be packaged.
The cosmetic composition according to the present invention may be a dispersion or an emulsion. A dispersion may be made as an aqueous phase or as an oily phase. An emulsion may have an oily or aqueous continuous phase. Such an emulsion may be, for example, an inverse (W/O) emulsion or a direct (0/W) emulsion, or alternatively a multiple emulsion (W/O/W or O/W/O).
(c) Aqueous Phase
The cosmetic composition according to the present invention may advantageously comprise an aqueous phase. The aqueous phase comprises water.

The oils may be volatile or non-volatile. The oils may be of animal, plant, mineral, or synthetic origin. The term “non-volatile oil” means an oil that remains on the skin or the keratin fiber at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. More specifically, a non-volatile oil has an evaporation rate strictly less than 0.01 mg/cm 2 /min.
To measure this evaporation rate, 15 g of oil or of an oil mixture to be tested are placed in a crystallizing dish 7 cm in diameter, which is placed on a balance in a large chamber of about 0.3 m 3 that is temperature-regulated, at a temperature of 25° C., and hygrometry-regulated, at a relative humidity of 50%. The liquid is allowed to evaporate freely, without stirring it, while providing ventilation by means of a fan (Papst-Motoren, reference 8550 N, rotating at 2700 rpm) placed in a vertical position above the crystallizing dish containing said oil or said mixture, the blades being directed towards the crystallizing dish, 20 cm away from the bottom of the crystallizing dish.
The mass of oil remaining in the crystallizing dish is measured at regular intervals. The evaporation rates are expressed in mg of oil evaporated per unit of area (cm 2 ) and per unit of time (minutes).
The term “volatile oil” means any non-aqueous medium that is capable of evaporating on contact with the skin or the lips in less than one hour, at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The volatile oil is a cosmetic volatile oil, which is liquid at room temperature. More specifically, a volatile oil has an evaporation rate of between 0.01 and 200 mg/cm 2 /min, limits included.

EXAMPLES
The present invention will be described in a more detailed manner by way of examples. However, these examples should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.
Test Example 1 and Test Comparative Examples 1 to 3
[Preparation]
The following compositions according to Example 1 (Ex. 1) and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 (Comp. Ex. 1 to 3) were respectively prepared by mixing the components shown in Table 1. The numerical values for the amounts of the components are all based on “% by weight” as active raw materials.
Sebum Gelification Test
[Protocol]
The gelification speed of artificial sebum was measured by using the following combination. The mixtures below were each stirred at room temperature for 10 min by a magnetic stirrer. When the magnetic stirrer was stopped due to sebum gelification (sodification) or the composition was moved to the flask wall by the magnetic stirrer and was not returned to the magnetic stirrer, this moment was determined to be the gelification time. One hour after the start of stirring, the cosmetic composition was applied over a contrast card with a 30 μm applicator. The surface shine was then measured at a 60° gloss value of a Glossmeter.

[Results]
As shown in Ex. 1 and Ex. 1′, when magnesium oxide was mixed with magnesium stearate or magnesium 12-hydroxystearate and artificial sebum, the composition formed a gel. The gelified artificial sebum showed the lowest gloss. On the other hand, magnesium oxide alone (Comp. Ex. 1) or magnesium stearate alone (Comp. Ex. 2), did not form a gel. For reference, artificial sebum itself did not turn into a gel (Comp. Ex. 3).
Consequently, the combination of an oxide of a divalent metal (e.g., magnesium oxide) and a metal soap (e.g., magnesium stearate or magnesium 12-hydroxystearate) accelerated sebum gelification, and decreased the shine of sebum, which means a high matte effect.
Consequently, it was confirmed that a combination of magnesium oxide and magnesium stearate or magnesium 12-hydroxystearate showed gelification of artificial sebum and reduced shine of artificial sebum.
Test Example 2
The weight ratio of magnesium oxide and magnesium stearate was evaluated by the sebum gelification test as shown above. A mixture of magnesium oxide and/or magnesium stearate according to the following weight ratio (0.1 g in total) was mixed with 10% of water and 2.0 g of artificial sebum as shown in Table 2. The compositions which failed to gelify in 10 minutes were judged as “NG (no good)”.

Sebum Resistance Test of Liquid Foundation
[Protocol]
Each of the liquid foundations (1.0 g) as prepared above and artificial sebum (0.2 g) were mixed, and the mixture was applied on artificial leather at 2.4 mg/cm 2 , and then the artificial leather (SUPPLALE® from Idemitsu) was dried at 33° C. for 30 min. The reflectance of the foundation film was measured by a goniophotometer (A). The reflectance of the foundation without artificial sebum was also measured (B).
[Results]
Test results are shown in Table 5. The formula according to the present invention (Formulation Example 1) containing both magnesium oxide and magnesium stearate showed lower reflectance compared with comparative formulas (Formulation Comparative Examples 1, 2, and 3) in the presence of artificial sebum. This means that the formula according to the present invention has better sebum resistance than the comparative formula.
