7.Description:
(en)TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a novel surface-treated powder (base). More specifically, the invention relates to a surface-treated powder coated with a half ester oil containing a specific half ester compound as well as a cosmetic composition blended with the surface-treated powder. The surface-treated powder of the invention has excellent adhesion to skin and hair, great spreadability on skin and hair, good dispersibility of the surface-treated powder itself, highly excellent dispersibility thereof in general oils such as ester oils and triglycerides and in silicone-series or fluorine-series oils, and has a very moist feel. Cosmetics blended with such surface-treated powder can get great improvement of feel on use, makeup retention, and product stability over time. Additionally because the coated powder has highly excellent dispersibility in oils and fats, the powder is applicable to not only cosmetics but also as powders for use in the fields of, for example, additives for plastics, inks, paints and toners.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Cosmetics to be blended with powders have included so far, for example, makeup cosmetics, skin care cosmetics, body care cosmetics, hair care cosmetics, and sun screening cosmetics. More specifically, the compositions of cosmetics blended with powders are broadly divided into powders, oil components, active ingredients, and aqueous components. Depending on the ratio of these components, there are formulations such as powder type, cream type and liquid type. The types of the powders include inorganic powders such as extender pigment, white pigment, coloring pigment and pearl, and organic powders such as nylon, PMMA, acylated lysine and tar dye. These powders are appropriately selected and blended, depending on the type of cosmetic to be blended and the purpose of the cosmetic. At the process of producing a product, such powder is mixed and dispersed in a small amount of oily agents and a trace amount of other additives. Otherwise, a small amount of powder is added to and dispersed in oily agents. Additionally for a formulation of emulsion type, water is mixed for emulsification. Functions demanded for such powders during the production process are dispersibility in oily agents and stability after dispersion. Additionally, powders to be blended in the cosmetics are for the purpose of improving the feel on use (giving sliding property), providing tone and gloss, giving adhesiveness to skin and hair, providing protection against ultraviolet ray and infrared ray, preventing the removal of makeup and the like.
So as to give such functions to powders, techniques for surface treatment have been proposed, including for example surface treatment with silicone compounds, surface treatment with fluorine compounds, surface treatment with fatty acids, surface treatment with acylated amino acids and acylated peptides, and surface treatment with lecithin, ceramide, alkyl silane and alkyl titanate. For example, powders surface-treated with silicone compounds and fluorine compounds have excellent water repellent effect without stickiness, but these powders have poor adhesion to skin and hair, and poor dispersibility in general oils such as ester oils and triglycerides, as well as poor moist feeling. The powders surface-treated with fatty acids have good adhesion to skin and hair, but have very poor aesthetics with respect to smooth spreadability and extension, and have poor dispersibility in general oils such as ester oils and triglycerides or in silicone-series oils or fluorine-series oils, so that the powders have less moist feeling. Although powders surface-treated with acylated amino acids or ceramide have excellent adhesion to skin and hair with moist feeling, the powders lack smooth feeling and are poor in terms of dispersibility in oil. Powders surface-treated with lecithin have a very smooth feeling, great adhesion to skin and hair and have a moist feel, but the powders are poorly dispersible in general oils such as ester oils and triglyceride, and silicone-series or fluorine-series oils. Powders treated with alkyl silane and alkyl titanate have smooth feeling on use and great dispersibility in general oils such as ester oils and triglycerides, silicone-series oils or fluorine-series oils. However, the powders have poor adhesion to skin and hair and lack much moist feeling.
As described above, various techniques for surface treatments have been proposed. However, there is not yet any surface-treated powder capable of simultaneously exerting the four characteristic features, namely great adhesion to skin and hair, good spreadability on skin and hair, high dispersibility in general oils such as ester oils and triglycerides, silicone-series oils and fluorine-series oils and moist feeling at sufficiently high levels. Therefore, further improvement in this field has strongly been desired.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, the inventors made investigations so as to overcome the problems described above. The inventors found that a powder coated with an ester oil comprising an ester compound having carbon atoms of a certain total number or more as obtained by reacting various alcohols with carboxylic acids and having an acid value of a certain value or more, had excellent adhesion to and spreadability on skin and hair as well as great dispersibility and moist feel. Thus, the invention has been achieved.
In other words, the invention provides a surface-treated powder being coated with a half ester oil, wherein the half ester oil comprises an ester compound having 16 or more carbon atoms in total, as can be obtained by reacting one or more alcohols having one to 36 carbon atoms with one or more carboxylic acids having one to 36 carbon atoms, and wherein the half ester oil has an acid value of 15 or more.
In a preferable embodiment of the invention, the alcohol is monovalent or polyvalent alcohol comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of linear carbons, branched carbons, saturated carbons, unsaturated carbons, alicyclic carbons and aromatic rings, while the carboxylic acid is monobasic acid or polybasic acid comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of linear carbons, branched carbons, saturated carbons, unsaturated carbons, alicyclic carbons and aromatic rings, or hydroxylic acid thereof.
In a more preferable embodiment of the invention, the acid value of the ester oil is 15 or more to 100 or less, while the ratio by weight between a powder to be treated by coating and an agent for treating the surface is 100:0.1 to 50.
In a different aspect of the invention, there is provided a cosmetic containing the surface-treated powder at 0.1 to 100% by weight.


BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The constitution of the invention is now described below.
The ester oil for use in coating a powder in accordance with the invention contains ester compounds having 16 or more carbon atoms in total, as obtained by partially esterifying an alcohol having one to 36 carbon atoms with a carboxylic acid having one to 36 carbon atoms and has an acid value of 15 or more.

In accordance with the invention, these may be used singularly or in mixture of appropriate combinations thereof.
As the carboxylic acid having one to 36 carbon atoms (n=1−3) for use in accordance with the invention, any such carboxylic acid of saturated, unsaturated, hydroxy, aromatic type and the like may be used. For example, monobasic acid (n=1) includes for example linear fatty acids such as formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, lactic acid, caproic acid, caprylic acid, capric acid, undecanoic acid, lauric acid, tridecanoic acid, myristic acid, pentadecanoic acid, palmitic acid, margaric acid, stearic acid, nonadecanoic acid, arachidic acid, behenic acid, cerotic acid, montanic acid, and melissic acid; unsaturated fatty acids such as undecylenic acid, palmitoleic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, and arachidonic acid; branched fatty acids such as isooctyl acid (2-ethylhexanoic acid), neotridecanoic acid, isomyristic acid, isopalmitic acid and isostearic acid; and hydroxyfatty acids such as 12-hydroxystearic acid and ricinolic acid. Polybasic acids (n=2−3) include for example oxalic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, cyclobutane-1,1-dicarboxylic acid, cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid, phenylene-1,2-diacetic acid, diglycolic acid, dithioglycolic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid, pimeric acid, suberic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, undecandionoic acid, dodecanedioic acid, eicosandioic acid, octacosandioic acid, 1-, 10-decamethylenedioic acid, 1-, 12-dodecamethylenedioic acid, 1-, 15-pentadecamethylenedioic acid, 1-,28-octacosamethylenedioic acid, 7-ethyloctadecanedioic acid, dimer acid, and hydrogenated dimer acid. In accordance with the invention, the “dimer acid” means dibasic acid generated by dimerization of an unsaturated fatty acid with 11 to 22 carbon atoms. The unsaturated dibasic acid includes for example fumaric acid, maleic acid and itaconic acid. The hydroxy-polybasic acid includes for example tartaric acid, malic acid, mucic acid, and citric acid. As the hydroxy-polybasic acid, additionally, amino acids and acylated amino acids may also be used. In accordance with the invention, these may be used singularly or in mixture of an appropriate combination thereof.
The partial ester in accordance with the invention is a partial ester between the alcohol and the carboxylic acid and can be synthetically prepared by esterification. The esterification can be carried out by charging the individual raw materials in an appropriate reaction container and then reacting them together in the presence or absence of an acid, an alkali or a metal catalyst, preferably in an organic solvent or/and a gas inert to the reaction, at 150 to 200° C. for several hours to about 10 hours, while the byproduct water is eliminated. In case that a catalyst is used, herein, the catalyst is added to 0.001 to 1.0% of the weight of the reactants. After the completion of the reaction, the product may contain unreactive materials, which are separated and removed by known methods such as rinsing in water, elimination of acids with alkalis, and treatment with adsorbents such as silica gel and are then purified additionally by decoloring and eliminating the odor. The half ester oil thus obtained is in a liquid or solid state at ambient temperature. Preferably, the half ester oil in accordance with the invention has an acid value of 15 or more and contains an ester compound with 16 or more carbon atoms in total. So as to get the effect of the surface-treated powder of the invention, more preferably, the acid value of the half ester oil is 15 or more to 100 or less. In view of the feeling of the treated powder, the ester oil then is preferably in liquid, semi-solid or solid with plasticity state at ambient temperature. More preferably, the ester oil is in liquid or in semi-solid state, specifically with a melting point of 70° C. or less. Taking account of adhesion to skin and dispersibility in other oils, preferably, the ester oil is a compound obtained by reaction of one or more branched or unsaturated alcohols with mono valence to six valence and one or more dibasic acids or tribasic acids as a preferable combination of reactants, and has ester-binding sites of 6 or less in the structure of one molecule.
When the acid value of the ester oil is less than 15, the adsorptivity thereof to a powder base is poor, so that the half ester oil is not used for such surface treatment, causing poor adhesion to skin and hair. When the ester compound has less than 16 carbon atoms in total, further, the irritation on skin and hair is strong, unpreferably from a safety standpoint. Additionally, the feel of the resulting surface-treated powder on use, is poor in terms of smoothness and lack of moist feel. Herein, the acid value of the half ester oil in accordance with the invention can be measured by methods known to persons skilled in the art, for example according to “Kijyun Yushi Bunseki Shiken Houho (Analytical Method of Standard Oils and Fats)” (edited by Japan Oil Chemist's Society).
The amount for surface treatment of the ester oil with an acid value of 15 or more, which contains such ester compound with total carbon atoms of 16 or more varies depending on the type and specific surface area of an inorganic powder base. The amount is 0.1 to 50 parts by weight of the powder. Preferably, the amount is 0.3 to 35 parts by weight. Such ester oil for surface treatment may satisfactorily be in mixture of two types or more thereof for the coating treatment. When the amount used for coating is less than 0.1 parts by weight, the surface of the powder particle cannot get a uniformly coated layer so that good adhesion to skin and hair and feel on skin and hair cannot be obtained. When the amount is more than 50 parts by weight, the ester oil simply works to aggregate the powder particle, so that the adhesion to skin and hair or the feeling on use cannot further be improved.
The powder for use in accordance with the invention includes not only powders for cosmetics but also powders for use in individual fields of plastic additives, inks, paints, toners and the like. The mean particle size is preferably about 3,000 μm to 0.001 μm, more preferably about 200 μm to 0.01 μm. Additionally, the particle size of these powders can be measured as a mean value by a method under observation with optical microscope or electron microscope. The particle size of a particle that is not spherical in shape can be determined as a mean of the total of long diameter, short diameter, thickness and the like.

Specifically, the treatment includes the following methods. 1. A dry method including a step of mixing a half ester oil with a powder using a Henschel mixer or a super mixer and subsequently drying the resulting mixture. 2. A method including a step of kneading using a kneader or an extruder and subsequent drying. 3. A method including a step of dispersing a powder in water or an organic solvent using a ball mill and a mechano-chemical mill such as a sand grinder and mixing the powder in a half ester oil, and then removing the solvent and drying the resulting powder. 4.

The surface-treatment method herein referred to is not limited to these methods described above, as long as any such method is satisfactorily applicable to the surface treatment of powder base.
Additionally, the half ester oil for the surface treatment in accordance with the invention is very useful as a surface-treating agent for layer A or B as described in JP-A-2001-72527 and JP-A-2002-80748 proposed by the inventors.

The same surface treatment as in Example 1 was done, except that sericite FSE in Example 1 was replaced with Powder La Vie (manufactured by Miyoshi Kasei Inc.) and that the half ester oil in Synthetic Example 1 was replaced with the half ester oil of Synthetic Example 7, to obtain a half ester oil-treated Powder La Vie.
Comparative Example 1
Using the ester oil in Synthetic Comparative Example 1, the same processing amounts and the same methods were used for the powders of the individual Examples 1 through 10 and Example 12, to obtain ester oil-treated powders.
Comparative Example 2
Using the ester oil in Synthetic Comparative Example 2, the same processing amounts and the same methods were used for the powders of the individual Examples 1 through 10 and Example 12, to obtain ester oil-treated powders.
Comparative Example 3
Surface Treatment with Silicone Compound
Using the silicone oil KF-9901 (manufactured by Shin-etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.), the same processing amounts as in the Examples for the powders of Examples 1 through 10 and Example 12 were treated. The processing method is described below. The powders were charged in a kneader under reduced pressure, and a solution of silicone diluted in 50 parts by weight of toluene was added to and mixed with the powders. While the pressure was reduced, toluene was distilled off. Subsequently, the mixtures were agitated at 105° C. for 4 hours and then back to ambient temperature, to obtain silicone-treated powders.
Comparative Example 4
Surface Treatment with Fatty Acid
For the powders of Examples 1 through 10 and Example 12, the same treatment as in Comparative Example 3 was done at the same processing amounts as in the Examples, except that isostearic acid (manufactured by NOF Corporation) was used instead, to obtain isostearic acid-treated powders.
Comparative Example 5
Surface Treatment with Acylated Amino Acid
For the powders of Examples 1 through 10 and Example 12, the surface treatment method described in JP-A-58-72512 was carried out at the same processing amounts as in the Examples, to obtain stearoyl glutamic acid-treated powders.
Comparative Example 6
Surface Treatment with Alkyl Silane
For the powders of Examples 1 through 10 and Example 12, the surface treatment method described in JP-A-64-90111 was carried out, using the same amount for coating as in the Examples, to obtain octyltrimethoxysilane-treated powders.
The half ester oil-treated powders in accordance with the invention and the treated powders in Comparative Examples, as obtained as described above, were evaluated by the following test methods. The results are shown in Tables 1 through 3.
(Adhesion Test)
About 100 mg of a surface-treated powder was attached on a sponge puff. An area of 5 cm×5 cm is marked on the forearms of 10 panelists, on which the powder on the sponge puff was applied on the area at a load of 50 g/cm 2 . The weight of the sponge puff after applying was divided by the amount of the powder first attached to the puff, to determine the amount of the powder adhered on skin. The procedure was repeated five times, to determine the average. A larger value indicates better adhesion to skin.
(Test of Sliding Property (Aesthetic Feel))
A surface-treated powder was applied under a condition of 1 mg/cm 2 on a collagen paper (manufactured by Idemitsu Petrochemical Co., Ltd.; trade name of Supplale) on a piece of 8 cm×5 cm dimension, which was then mounted on a tester for measuring the reciprocating dynamic friction coefficient (manufactured by Kato Tech Co., Ltd.), while the collagen paper without application was also mounted on the tester. At a load of 50 g/cm 2 , further, a reciprocating motion was enforced five times, to determine the mean of the values of the dynamic friction coefficient (MIU). A smaller value indicates better sliding property.
(Dispersibility Test)
1. Measuring Gloss Value (in Case of Titanium Mica as Extender Pigment)
A surface-treated powder was applied under a condition of 1.4 mg/cm 2 on a collagen paper (manufactured by Idemitsu Petrochemical Co., Ltd.; trade name of Supplale) on a piece of 8 cm×5 cm dimension. The gloss value of the applied face at 45°-45° was determined with a deformation gloss meter (Nippon Denshoku Industries Co., Ltd.; VGS-300A). A larger value indicates better dispersibility.
2. Opacity (in Case of Titanium Dioxide)
10 g of a surface-treated titanium dioxide and 0.5 g of carbon black (Mitsubishi Chemical Co., Ltd.) were mixed with 89.5 g of talc JA-46R (manufactured by Asada Milling Co., Ltd.). The resulting mixture was ground with an atomizer. The W value (whitening degree) of each surface-treated powder sample was measured with a color difference meter (Nippon Denshoku Industries Co., Ltd.: SZ-Σ90). A larger value indicates better dispersibility.
3. Coloring Ability (in Case of Iron Oxide)
2 g of each of surface-treated yellow iron oxide, red iron oxide and black iron oxide and 98.0 g of talc JA-46R (manufactured by Asada Milling Co., Ltd.) were mixed together and ground with an atomizer. The C* value (chroma) of each sample was measured with a color difference meter (manufactured by Nippon Denshoku Industries Co., Ltd.; SZ-Σ90). In case of yellow iron oxide and red iron oxide, a larger value indicates better dispersibility. In case of black iron oxide, a smaller value indicates better dispersibility.
4. Measurement of In-Vitro SPF Value (in Case of Ultrafine Titanium Dioxide and Ultrafine Zinc Oxide)
A surface-treated powder sample weighed at 1 g was added to and mixed thoroughly with a mixture oil of 3 g of acryl silicone oil (Shin-etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.: KP545), 3 g of an ester oil (manufactured by Nisshin Oillio Group: Cosmol 525) and 3 g of squalane. The resulting mixture was dispersed once with a Hoover muller under a condition of 25 rotations (load of 22.68 kg). The in-vitro SPF value of the resulting dispersion was measured with an SPF analyzer (OPTOMETRICS, USA). A larger value indicates better dispersibility.
5. Moist Feel
10 panelists touched the individual surface-treated powders. The panelists were engaged to do other work, while the powders remained on their hands. Subsequently, a questionnaire was taken about the presence or absence of a moist feel on their hands. When half or more of the panelists made a reply of the presence of moist feel about the powder, the powder was determined as having moist feel.

(2) The other components are heated and mixed and dissolved together, to which the component mixture above in (1) is added, for uniform dispersion with a homomixer.
(3) After deaeration, the resulting mixture was poured in a mold to prepare a lipstick in the form of a stick.
In the same manner as in Example 13, 50 panelists evaluated the adhesion to skin, feel on use (texture), and moist feel of the resulting lipsticks, to determine the mean of the evaluated scores. Concerning dispersibility, the apparent color of a lipstick was measured to determine the chroma value. The results are shown in Table 15.
