SUMMARY OF INVENTION

Technical Problem

Polyisobutenes with relative molar masses of 150,000 or greater, as included in the makeup or care kit disclosed in Patent Literature 1, have an extremely low solubility to solvents. Thus, such polyisobutenes with high relative molar masses may be used as adhesive materials, but may be difficult to be used as a component of a cosmetic composition. On the other hand, the inclusion of polyisobutenes having relative molar masses of less than 10,000 in a cosmetic composition cannot offer the user a sufficient firm feel when the composition is applied to the skin.
The makeup base cosmetic disclosed in Patent Literature 2 is for the lips, and no consideration is given to the application of the base cosmetic to the skin other than the lips, particularly to the creation of a firm feel upon application to the skin.
The sunscreen composition disclosed in Patent Literature 3 and the oily makeup cosmetic disclosed in Patent Literature 4 are oily compositions and also include a high content by percentage of polyisobutene (polyisobutylene). Thus, application of such compositions to the skin will cause a very sticky feel to the user.
Thus, there is a demand for a composition that can provide the skin with an excellent firm feel when and/or after the user applies the composition to the skin, while suppressing stickiness.

Solution to Problem

According to a first aspect, an oil-in-water emulsion composition for skin that is applied to skin except for a lip is provided, the composition comprising 0.2 to 2.5% by mass of polyisobutene having a relative mass in a range of 30,000 to 100,000.

Advantageous Effects of Invention

When the user applies the emulsion composition for skin of the present disclosure to the skin, the user can feel excellent skin firmness. The emulsion composition for skin of the present disclosure can also suppress stickiness while achieving a firm feel.

An oil-in-water emulsion composition for skin according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure is described below. The emulsion composition for skin of the present disclosure may include a cosmetic composition, for example.
In the following description, POE is an abbreviation of polyoxyethylene, POP is an abbreviation of polyoxypropylene, and the number in parentheses after POE or POP indicates the average number of moles of POE groups or POP groups added in the compound in question.
An oil-in-water emulsion composition for skin according to the present disclosure includes polyisobutene. Preferably, the polyisobutene has a relative mass (molecular weight) of 30,000 or greater, more preferably 40,000 or greater. If the relative mass is less than 30,000, the user cannot obtain a sufficient firm feel. Preferably, the polyisobutene has a relative mass of 150,000 or less, more preferably 100,000 or less. If the relative mass is greater than 150,000, the user will feel stickiness, and also emulsion stability will deteriorate. The term “relative mass” in the present disclosure means the viscosity average molecular weight of a polymer.
In the composition of the present disclosure, the content by percentage of the polyisobutene to the mass of the composition is preferably 0.2% by mass or greater, more preferably 0.25% by mass or greater. When the content by percentage is at least 0.2% by mass, the user will not feel stickiness and can obtain a firm feel. The content by percentage of the polyisobutene to the mass of the composition is preferably 2.5% by mass or less, more preferably 2% by mass or less. If the content by percentage is higher than 2.5% by mass, the composition will become difficult to be spread, and it will become difficult for the user to apply the composition. The user may also feel stickiness when applying the composition.
To further suppress stickiness, the content by percentage of the polyisobutene to the mass of the composition is preferably 0.4% by mass or less, more preferably 0.3% by mass or less.
The composition of the present disclosure further includes a solvent in which the polyisobutene is soluble. For example, the solvent may include a hydrocarbon oil. In order to provide a firm feel while the user is applying (rubbing in) the composition to the skin, it is preferred that the hydrocarbon oil can volatilize during application. Examples of usable hydrocarbon oils include C_8-16volatile hydrocarbon oils. Examples of volatile hydrocarbon oils, in which polyisobutene is soluble, may include isododecane, isodecane, heptane, isohexadecane, and liquid paraffin.
In the composition of the present disclosure, the content by percentage of the hydrocarbon oil to the mass of the composition is preferably 0.5% by mass or greater, more preferably 1% by mass or greater. If the content by percentage is less than 0.5% by mass, the polyisobutene may precipitate. The content by percentage of the hydrocarbon oil to the mass of the composition is preferably 10% by mass or less, more preferably 7% by mass or less, even more preferably 5% by mass or less, further more preferably 4% by mass or less. If the content by percentage of the hydrocarbon oil is greater than 7% by mass, a large amount of oil component may remain on the skin, and the user may less likely perceive a firm feel.
Examples of commercially available products of polyisobutene may include: B10SFN (molecular weight: 40,000), B11SFN (molecular weight: 49,000), B12SFN (molecular weight: 55,000), B13SFN (molecular weight: 65,000), B14SFN (molecular weight: 73,000), and B15SFN (molecular weight: 85,000) from the OPPANOL (registered trademark) series (from BASF); Tetrax 3T (molecular weight: 25,000 to 34,900) (from JXTG Nippon Oil & Energy Corporation); and 4H (molecular weight: 40,000), 5H (molecular weight: 50,000), 5.5H (molecular weight: 53,000), and 6H (molecular weight: 60,000) from the Himol series (from JXTG Nippon Oil & Energy Corporation).
The composition of the present disclosure may further include a thickener. For the thickener, it is preferred to use, for example, an electrostatic-repulsive thickener or an associative thickener from the viewpoint of emulsion stability. For the thickener, it is possible to use the following thickeners in combination. It should be noted that, even if the thickening mechanism of any of the following thickeners is not electrostatic-repulsive or associative, such a thickener is not excluded from a thickener that may be employed herein.
Examples of the electrostatic-repulsive thickener may include taurate-based synthetic polymers and/or acrylate-based synthetic polymers. For the taurate-based polymeric thickener, it is possible to use, for example, polymers and/or copolymers (including crosslinked polymers) including 2-acrylamido-2-propane sulfonic acid (acryloyldimethyl taurine) or a salt thereof (AMPS structure) as a constitutional unit. For such thickeners, it is possible to use, for example, at least one selected from an ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/beheneth-25 methacrylate crosspolymer (Aristoflex (registered trademark) HMB from Clariant (Japan) K.K.), ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/vinylpyrrolidone copolymer (Aristoflex (registered trademark) AVC from Clariant (Japan) K.K.), ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/carboxyethyl acrylate crosspolymer (Aristoflex (registered trademark) TAC from Clariant (Japan) K.K.), polyacrylate crosspolymer-11 (Aristoflex (registered trademark) Velvet from Clariant (Japan) K.K.), dimethylacrylamide/sodium acryloyldimethyltaurate crosspolymer (SU-GEL from Toho Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.), hydroxyethyl acrylate/sodium acryloyldimethyltaurate copolymer (SEPINOV EMT10 PINOV from Seppic), sodium acrylate/acryloyldimethyl taurine/dimethylacrylamide crosspolymer (SEPINOV P88 from Seppic), sodium acryloyldimethyltaurate/methacrylamidolauric acid copolymer (AMO-51 from Daitoh Chemical Co., Ltd.), and acrylamide/sodium acryloyldimethyltaurate/acrylic acid copolymer (Acudyne SCP from Dow Chemical Company). For the acrylate-based synthetic polymer thickener, it is possible to use, for example, acrylate/steareth-20 methacrylate copolymer (Aculyn (registered trademark) 22 from Dow Chemical Company). For the associative thickener, it is possible to use, for example, PEG-240/decyltetradeceth-20/hexamethyldiisocyanate copolymer (Adeka Nol (registered trademark) GT-700 from Adeka Corporation).
The content by percentage of the thickener to the mass of the composition is preferably 0.1% by mass or greater, more preferably 0.3% by mass or greater. If the content by percentage of the thickener is less than 0.1% by mass, stability tends to deteriorate. The content by percentage of the thickener to the mass of the composition is preferably 2% by mass or less, more preferably 1.5% by mass or less. If the content by percentage of the thickener is greater than 2% by mass, stickiness will be intensified when the composition is applied to the skin.
Particularly, by employing a 2-acrylamido-2-propane sulfonic acid-based thickener and the polyisobutene in combination, and also employing an elastomer (described below) in combination, it is possible to intensify firmness while suppressing stickiness. In this case, the content by percentage of the 2-acrylamido-2-propane sulfonic acid-based thickener to the mass of the composition is preferably 0.1% by mass or greater, more preferably 0.3% by mass or greater. The content by percentage of the 2-acrylamido-2-propane sulfonic acid-based thickener to the mass of the composition is preferably 1% by mass or less, more preferably 0.7% by mass or less.
The composition of the present disclosure may include other thickeners in amounts that do not inhibit the effects of the present disclosure. Examples of such other thickeners may include gum arabic, carrageenan, karaya gum, tragacanth gum, carob gum, quince seed (marmelo), casein, dextrin, gelatin, sodium pectate, sodium alginate, methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyvinylmethyl ether (PVM), PVP (polyvinyl pyrrolidone), polysodium acrylate, carboxyvinyl polymer, locust bean gum, guar gum, tamarind gum, dialkyldimethylammonium sulfate cellulose, xanthan gum, aluminum magnesium silicate, bentonite, hectorite, aluminum magnesium silicate (Veegum), sodium magnesium silicate (Laponite), and silicic acid anhydride.
The composition of the present disclosure may further include an elastomer. Adding an elastomer can reduce stickiness. Further, the coexistence of the polyisobutene and the elastomer adds softness in addition to the firm feel after applying the composition to the skin, thereby achieving a better sensation. Further, it is possible to enhance the swift finish of the composition on the skin during application.
Examples of the elastomer may include silicone elastomers (organopolysiloxanes). Examples of silicone elastomers include crosslinked silicones (crosslinked organopolysiloxane) in which a silicone polymer is crosslinked three-dimensionally. The silicone elastomer may be of an emulsion type or a non-emulsion type. An emulsion-type silicone elastomer may be a silicone elastomer in which the crosslinked moiety and/or the main chain are/is modified by a hydrophilic moiety (e.g., a polyoxyalkylene group). A non-emulsion-type silicone elastomer may be a silicone elastomer that does not include such a hydrophilic moiety. Non-emulsion-type silicone elastomers are preferred from the viewpoint of obtaining the aforementioned feel upon use.
Examples of silicone elastomers may include dimethicone crosspolymer, dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer, dimethicone/phenyl vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer, vinyl dimethicone/lauryl dimethicone crosspolymer, lauryl polydimethyl siloxyethyl dimethicone/bis-vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer, alkyl (C_30-45) cetearyl dimethicone crosspolymer, and cetearyl dimethicone crosspolymer.
The content by percentage of the elastomer to the mass of the composition is preferably 0.1% by mass or greater, more preferably 0.2% by mass or greater, even more preferably 0.3% by mass or greater, further more preferably 0.4% by mass or greater, even more preferably 0.5% by mass or greater. Adding an elastomer can intensify firmness while suppressing stickiness. If the content by percentage of the elastomer is less than 0.1% by mass, it will be difficult to offer a soft and firm feel after applying the composition. The content by percentage of the elastomer to the mass of the composition is preferably 6% by mass or less, more preferably 5% by mass or less, even more preferably 4% by mass or less, further more preferably 3% by mass or less. If the content by percentage of the elastomer is greater than 6% by mass, conformability during application of the composition will deteriorate, and also emulsion stability will deteriorate.
The composition of the present disclosure may include, as appropriate and as necessary, other components such as aqueous solvents, oily components, anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, nonionic surfactants, powders, water-soluble polymers, film-forming agents, UV absorbers, metal ion sequestrant, amino acids, organic amines, polymer emulsions, pH adjusters, skin nutrients, vitamins, antioxidants, antioxidant aids, and perfumes—in amounts that do not inhibit the effects of the present disclosure.

Test Examples 1 to 4

In Test Examples 1 to 4, the effects obtained by including or not including polyisobutene were verified. Tables 1 and 2 show the compositions and results. The compositions according to Test Examples 1 to 4 were oil-in-water-type compositions. The compositions according to Test Examples 1 and 3 included polyisobutene having a relative mass (molecular weight) of around 55,000. The polyisobutene was added in a form dissolved in isododecane. On the other hand, the compositions according to Test Examples 2 and 4 did not include polyisobutene. The compositions according to Test Examples 1 and 2 had similar compositions except for polyisobutene. The compositions according to Test Examples 3 and 4 had similar compositions except for polyisobutene.
When comparing the composition according to Test Example 1 with the composition according to Test Example 2, no different was found in terms of lack of stickiness and emulsion stability. Similarly, when comparing the composition according to Test Example 3 with the composition according to Test Example 4, no different was found in terms of lack of stickiness and emulsion stability. However, in terms of firm feel, Test Examples 1 and 3, including polyisobutene, were able to obtain higher ratings than Test Examples 2 and 4 including no polyisobutene. Thus, it is considered that polyisobutene contributes to the firmness felt by the user.

Test Examples 5 to 7

In Test Examples 5 to 7, differences in the effects of polyisobutene and hydrogenated polyisobutene were verified. Tables 3 and 4 show the compositions and results. The compositions according to Test Examples 5 to 7 were oil-in-water-type compositions. The composition according to Test Example 5 included polyisobutene having a relative mass (molecular weight) of around 55,000. On the other hand, the compositions according to Test Examples 6 and 7 included hydrogenated polyisobutene instead of polyisobutene. The compositions according to Test Examples 5 to 7 had similar compositions other than polyisobutene and hydrogenated polyisobutene.
With the composition according to Test Example 6, including hydrogenated polyisobutene with a molecular weight of 1000, the user could not feel firmness, but instead felt stickiness. With the composition according to Test Example 7 which included hydrogenated polyisobutene with a molecular weight of 2850, the user was able to feel firmness, but felt stickiness. In contrast, with the composition according to Test Example 5, including polyisobutene, the user was able to feel firmness without feeling stickiness. Thus, it is considered that polyisobutene is more effective than hydrogenated polyisobutene in order to achieve both providing firm feel and no stickiness.
In Test Example 5, applying the composition was finished more swiftly than Test Example 1, and a firm feel with better quality was achieved. Thus, it is considered that, it is possible to improve both the feel upon use and the quality of the firm feel by employing polyisobutene and a silicone elastomer in combination.

Test Examples 8 to 11

In Test Examples 8 to 11, differences in the effects caused by changing the molecular weight of the polyisobutene were verified. Table 4 shows the compositions and results. The compositions according to Test Examples 8 to 11 were oil-in-water-type compositions. Test Examples 8 to II were prepared so that the amount of isododecane therein was the same. With the compositions according to Test Examples 8 to 11, many of the users were able to feel firmness. However, with Test Example 11 using polyisobutene with a molecular weight of 200,000, the users felt stickiness, and it failed to achieve emulsion stability. In contrast, with Test Examples 8 to 10 using polyisobutenes with molecular weights from 40,000 to 85,000, it was possible to achieve both emulsion stability and lack of stickiness. Thus, it is considered that the molecular weight of the polyisobutene is preferably less than 200,000, more preferably 150,000 or less, even more preferably 100,000 or less. Further, the molecular weight of the polyisobutene is preferably 20,000 or greater, more preferably 30,000 or greater.

Test Examples 12 to 14

In Test Examples 12 to 14, the content by percentage of the polyisobutene was varied, to verify the differences in the effects thereof. Table 5 shows the compositions and results. The compositions according to Test Examples 12 to 14 were oil-in-water-type compositions. With Test Examples 12 to 14, it was possible to achieve excellent results in terms of firm feel, lack of stickiness, and emulsion stability. Thus, when taking into consideration all of Test Examples 8 to 14 and Test Examples 1, 3, and 5, it is considered that the content by percentage of polyisobutene is preferably at least 0.2% by mass or greater, more preferably 0.25% by mass or greater. Further, it is considered that the content by percentage of polyisobutene is preferably 2.5% by mass or less, more preferably 2% by mass or less. Particularly, it is considered that, in order to further suppress stickiness, the content by percentage of polyisobutene is preferably 0.4% by mass or less, more preferably 0.3% by mass or less. It is considered that, since Test Example 12 did not include trehalose, Test Example 12 was able to achieve a better result in terms of lack of stickiness compared to Test Example 5.

Test Examples 15 to 19

In Test Examples 15 to 19, the content by percentage of the elastomer was varied, to verify the differences in the effects thereof. The compositions according to Test Examples 15 to 19 were oil-in-water-type compositions. Table 6 shows the compositions and results. The aforementioned Test Example 5 is an example corresponding to Test Examples 15 to 19 with a different content by percentage of the elastomer.
The composition according to Test Example 15 including no elastomer was able to achieve good results in all evaluation items. Stated differently, even without including an elastomer, it was possible to achieve firmness by the polyisobutene while suppressing stickiness. Further, with Test Example 16 including 0.5% by mass of an elastomer, the number of users that felt firmness and lack of stickiness was greater compared to Test Example 15. Thus, it is considered that it was possible to further intensify firmness while further suppressing stickiness by a synergistic effect between the polyisobutene and the elastomer. It is considered that the content by percentage of the elastomer to the mass of the composition is preferably 0.1% by mass or greater, more preferably 0.2% by mass or greater, even more preferably 0.3% by mass or greater, further more preferably 0.4% by mass or greater.
On the other hand, an increase in the addition amount of the elastomer resulted in a decrease in the number of users that felt firmness—although there was also a decrease in the number of users that felt stickiness—and also emulsion stability tended to deteriorate. Thus, it is considered that the content by percentage of the elastomer to the mass of the composition is preferably 6% by mass or less, more preferably 5% by mass or less, even more preferably 4% by mass or less.

Test Examples 20 to 22

Each of the oil-in-water emulsion compositions for skin of the present disclosure was subjected to the same sensory evaluations as described above, and also, the coefficient of kinetic friction was measured. From the trend in change over time of the coefficient of kinetic friction and the magnitude of the value of the coefficient, it is possible to evaluate the firmness felt by the user. The method for measuring the coefficient of kinetic friction is described below. The compositions of Test Examples 20 to 22 were oil-in-water-type compositions. Table 7 shows the compositions and results. FIG. 1 shows the measurement results of the coefficient of kinetic friction.
Measurement of Average Coefficient of Kinetic Friction:
On a piece of artificial leather (Supplale from Idemitsu Technofine Co., Ltd.) was placed 2 μL/cm²of each composition according to Test Examples 20 to 22, and the average coefficient of kinetic friction of each sample coating film was measured with a Handy Tribo Master (TL201Ts from Trinity-Lab Inc.) under the following conditions: movement speed: 500 mm/minute; measurement distance: 50 mm (outward path); load: 50 g/cm².
In the composition according to Test Example 20, including neither the polyisobutene nor the thickener of component (7) including a 2-acrylamido-2-methyl sulfonic acid component, the coefficient of kinetic friction decreased over time. A decrease in the coefficient of kinetic friction over time indicates that slipping occurs while the user is rubbing the composition into the skin, and thus, the user cannot feel firmness. In fact, there were few users that felt firmness on the sensory evaluation of Test Example 20.
In the composition according to Test Example 21, including polyisobutene and no thickener of component (7), the coefficient of kinetic friction increased over time. An increase in the coefficient of kinetic friction over time indicates that the resistance increases while the user is rubbing the composition into the skin, and thus, the user can perceive that the firm feel is becoming stronger. In fact, many users felt firmness on the sensory evaluation of Test Example 21.
In the composition according to Test Example 22, including both polyisobutene and the thickener of component (7), the coefficient of kinetic friction was higher than each coefficient of Test Examples 20 and 21, and the high coefficient of kinetic friction was maintained over time. A high coefficient of kinetic friction indicates a strong firm feel, and thus, the user can continuously perceive a strong firm feel from the start of the rubbing of the composition onto the skin. In fact, among Test Examples 19 to 22, Test Example 22 had the greatest number of users that felt firmness.
In Test Example 20, it is considered that, although the coefficient of kinetic friction becomes somewhat high due to the effect of the elastomer, the users cannot feel firmness because the composition does not include the polyisobutene and thus slipping occurs. In Test Example 21, it is considered that the coefficient of kinetic friction can be increased over time due to polyisobutene included therein, and thus, the users can perceive a firm feel. In Test Example 22, it is considered that, by employing, in combination, a 2-acrylamido-2-methyl sulfonic acid-based thickener together with the polyisobutene and the elastomer, the coefficient of kinetic friction becomes extremely high, and thus, many users can feel firmness. Thus, it is considered that the 2-acrylamido-2-methyl sulfonic acid-based thickener has an action of enhancing the effects of polyisobutene and the elastomer.
