Cosmetic composition

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a cosmetic composition, and more particularly to a cosmetic composition which provides excellent moisturizing effect and excellent extendibility when applied to the skin, hair and the like, and exhibits excellent smoothness under dry and wet conditions and has excellent emulsion stability. This invention also relates to a polyol glyceryl ether which is usable as an ingredient of the above cosmetic composition.
2. Description of the Background Art
Although various moisturizers are generally incorporated in cosmetic compositions, conventional moisturizers have a problem in that they cannot provide sufficient moisturizing effects when incorporated in small amounts, and that when a large amount of moisturizer is incorporated into a cosmetic composition to sufficiently provide the moisturizing effect, the stability of the system is deteriorated.
Emulsion-type cosmetic compositions are widely used, because they can give a proper amount of oil and water to the skin and hair. Various types of emulsions which present different physical properties and give different feels to users are obtainable by changing the kind and amount of the oil.
However, since emulsions are unstable systems in terms of their thermodynamics, the stabilization of emulsions is difficult. Therefore, many studies and experiments have been carried out to solve this problem. One proposed measure is the addition of an emulsification aid having surface activity. Examples of the emulsification aid include cationic surfactants, anionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants and nonionic surfactants, among which nonionic surfactants are the most preferred, because various oils can be used with them and they are applicable to various cosmetic compositions.
Known as a nonionic emulsification aid is a liquid-crystal-forming compound such as a higher alcohol and long chain branched alkyltriol (Japanese patent publication No. 38-5050, Japanese patent application laid-open No. 63258804); a long chain alkyl polyglyceryl ether (Japanese patent application laid-open Nos. 52-6375 and 63-23737); an ethylene oxide adduct of higher alcohol (Japanese patent application laid-open No. 62-96585); and a higher fatty acid polyol ester (Japanese patent publication No. 61-56016). These compounds, however, do not form lamellar liquid crystals when used singly, giving an oily feel to users when applied to the skin or hair. Although they form lamellar liquid crystals when combined with other ingredients, the temperature range within which lamellar liquid crystals are formed is narrow. These compounds therefore have a problem in that they cannot keep cosmetic compositions stable.
Another problem in the preparation of cosmetic compositions is explained: many active ingredients in cosmetic compositions have high melting points and they are in crystal and/or solid form at normal temperature. When they are not uniformly emulsified Or dispersed in the cosmetic composition and exist as solids and/or crystals, the effects of the ingredients such as a moisturizing effect cannot be obtained sufficiently.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide a cosmetic composition which provides excellent moisturizing effect and excellent extendibility when applied to the skin, hair and the like, and exhibits excellent smoothness under dry and wet conditions and has excellent emulsion stability.
It is another object of this invention to provide a polyol glyceryl ether which is usable as an ingredient of the above cosmetic composition.
These objects have been achieved based on the following finding: a cosmetic composition which exhibits an excellent extendibility and an excellent skin moisturizing effect, which gives a refreshing feeling to users without giving greasy feel and which has excellent stability can be obtained by the combined use of (A) a nonionic amphipathic compound which has a lamellar liquid crystal structure in a wide temperature range and (B) a specific compound having a hydroxyl group.
Namely, this invention provides a cosmetic composition comprising:
(A) a nonionic amphipathic compound having in the molecule thereof at least one long chain branched alkyl or a alkenyl group and at least three hydroxyl groups, and having a lamellar liquid crystal structure at 25.degree. C. and at 50.degree. C. or higher; and
(B) a compound represented by formula (1): ##STR3## wherein R.sup.1 is a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group or a group ##STR4## R.sup.2 is a hydrogen atom, a methyl group or a methoxy group; R.sup.3 is a direct bond or a saturated or unsaturated divalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms; each Y and each Z are independently hydrogen atoms or hydroxyl groups; and p, q and r are each independently integers of 0 to 5, excepting the case where all of p, q and r are zero and Z is H, and the case where all of p, q and r are zero, R.sup.1 is H and Z is OH

The polyglycerol represented by formula (6) is a polyglycerol which is obtained by condensing, by a well known method, a glycerol such as diglycerol, triglycerol, tetraglycerol and pentaglycerol. The polyglycerol used in this invention is a polyglycerol whose average condensation degree (i) is in a range of 2-20. When a polyglycerol having a high condensation degree is used, it may happen that sufficient effect cannot be obtained because of too high hydrophilicity. The preferred average condensation degree (i) is in a range of 2-10, and the particularly preferred average condensation degree (i) is in a range of 2-4. The polyglycerols can be used singly or as mixtures of two or more.

A preferred example of the branched alkyl or alkenyl group represented by R.sup.4 in formula (2) is a branched alkyl group having 16-36 carbon atoms (R4'), and a branched alkyl group having 18-24 carbon atoms is particularly preferred. The preferred branched alkyl group R.sup.4' is represented by formula (7) , ##STR17## wherein e and f are integers of 0-33, respectively, and the sum of e and f is 13-33, or formula (8), ##STR18## wherein g and h are integers of 0-31, respectively, and the sum of g and h is 11-31.

The preferred range of x in formula (2) is 1-3, and 1 or 2 is particularly preferred. The polyol glyceryl ethers (2) are prepared by the reaction of polyols with corresponding branched alkyl or alkenyl glycidyl ethers according to the following scheme: ##STR19## wherein A, B, G, x, y and R.sup.4 have the aforementioned meanings.
Polyols (9) useful in the present invention may contain impurities other than required polyols. These polyols can be used as is when there is no practical problem, but they may be used after purification by purification techniques well-known in the art, when necessary.
For example, dipentaerythritol and tripentaerythritol are sometime included in pentaerythritol as impurities, and a little amount of glycidyl ether adducts of dipentaerythritol and tripentaerythritol are produced as by-products. When these by-products do not affect the function and quality of the final product, the pentaerythritol is used as is. When these by-products affect the quality adversely, it is preferred that a purified pentaerythritol, which is purified, for example, by crystal precipitation, be used as a starting material. Also, in the event that a little amount of reducing sugar such as glucose is included in sorbitol and mannitol, small amounts of glycidyl ether adducts of the reducing sugar are produced as by-products. When these by-products do not affect the performance and quality of the final product, the sorbitol or mannitol can be used as is. When these by-products have bad effects, it is preferred that a purified sorbitol or a purified mannitol, which are purified, for example, by crystal precipitation, be used as starting materials.
The reaction mol ratio between the polyol (9) and the branched alkyl glycidyl or alkenyl glycidyl ether (10) can properly be selected based on the etherification degree of the desired polyol glyceryl ether. For example, to obtain a polyol glyceryl ether containing a large amount of one mol adduct thereof, the ratio is generally adjusted to fall in a range of from 1.2:1.0 to 10.0:1.0 using the polyols excessively.
Taking account of the production amount of one mol adduct and the recovery of polyols, it is preferred that the ratio be in a range of from 1.5:1.0 to 5.0:1.0. Further, to obtain a polyol glyceryl ether containing a large amount of two mol adduct thereof, the ratio is generally adjusted to fall in a range of from 0.3:1.0 to 1.1:1.0 using the branched alkyl or alkenyl glycidyl ether excessively. Taking account of the production amount of two mol adduct, it is preferred that the ratio be in a range of from 0.4:1.0 to 0.8:1.0.
Although the reaction is generally carried out without any solvent, it is preferred that an organic solvent be used to promote thorough mixing of a polyol and a branched alkyl or alkenyl glycidyl ether. Examples of such organic solvents include dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethyl acetamide, dimethyl formamide, N-methyl pyrrolidone. The preferred amount of these solvents is in a range of from 0.1 to 10.0 times of the polyol.
Although an acid or a basic catalyst, which are generally known as a reaction catalyst of epoxy group, can be used as a catalyst, the acid catalysts are not preferred, because the decomposition reaction for the ether bond of the produced glycidyl etherified polyol and the dehydrating reaction for the hydroxyl group thereof occur. It is therefore preferred that basic catalysts be used. Although any kind of basic catalyst can be used, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium methylate, sodium ethylate and sodium hydride are preferred from the viewpoint of reactivity and economy. The preferred amount of the basic catalyst is in a range of from 0.01 to 20.0 wt. % with respect to the polyol and a range of from 0.1 to 10.0 wt. % is particularly preferred.
The reaction is carried out at a temperature of 50.degree.-200.degree. C., and preferably at a temperature of 80.degree.-150.degree. C. Temperatures below 50.degree. C. are not preferred because of slow reaction speed, while temperatures above 200.degree. C. are not preferred because coloration of the product may occur.
When water exists in the reaction system, the epoxy group of a branched alkyl or alkenyl glycidyl ether is reacted with water, thereby producing a glyceryl ether. It is therefore preferred that a branched alkyl or alkenyl glycidyl ether be added for reaction after water is removed. Water can be removed by a method wherein a polyol is dissolved or dispersed in an organic solvent, and a dry nitrogen gas is passed through the solvent while heating, or a method wherein water is removed by heating under reduced pressure.
After the completion of the reaction, an organic acid such as acetic acid or citric acid, or an inorganic acid such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid or phosphoric acid is added to the solvent to neutralize the solvent, and the organic solvent used in the reaction is then removed. It is preferred that the solvent be removed at a temperature of 120.degree. C. or lower under reduced pressure to prevent the heat decomposition of the reaction product.
By the above-noted reaction, a polyol glyceryl ether (2) is obtained as a mixture of various adducts which comprises a one-mol-adduct in which one molecule of branched alkyl or alkenyl glycidyl ether (10) is added to one molecule of polyol (9), a two-mol-adduct in which two molecules of branched alkyl or alkenyl glycidyl ether (10) is added to one molecule of polyol (9) and multimol-adducts in which three or more molecules of branched alkyl or alkenyl glycidyl ether (10) is added to one molecule of polyol (9). Thus obtained polyol glyceryl ether (2) is generally used as a mixture of one-mol-adducts, two-mol-adducts and multimol adducts. If needed, the polyol glyceryl ether (2) may be purified by well known purification methods such as by silica gel column chromatography, solvent extraction and the like. Further, unreactive glycosides may sometimes be contained in the polyol glyceryl ether (2) other than the target one-mol-adducts, two-mol-adducts or multimol adducts. Although the polyol glyceryl ether (2) can be used as is when the unreactive glycosides do not bring about any practical problems, they can be removed by two layer solvent extraction using organic solvents such as ethyl acetate, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone and chloroform, by the Smith's membrane distillation or by other known purification methods, when necessary. Mixtures of one-mol-adduct, two-mol-adduct and multimol-adduct of the polyol glyceryl ether, however, can be used as the component (A) without purification when there is no practical problem.
Further, although the sum of 1 and m in formula (4) is 6-33, 10-16 is preferred from the view point of the performance as an ingredient of cosmetic compositions, and 14 is particularly preferred. It is preferred that the branched methyl group be located at the vicinity of the center of the alkyl main chain.
The methyl branched fatty acid esters (4) are prepared according to the following scheme: ##STR20## wherein 1 and m have the aforementioned meanings, and R.sup.6 represents a lower alkyl group.
Namely, the compound (4) is prepared by reacting the lower alkyl ester (11) of a methyl branched fatty acid with pentaerythritol (12).
The lower alkyl esters of methyl branched fatty acid (11) useful in the reaction can be obtained by esterifying corresponding carboxylic acids by any usual method. Among the corresponding carboxylic acids, industrially obtainable are mixtures of carboxylic acids in which the sum of the number of carbon atoms of an alkyl group and the position of a branched methyl group have specific distributions. For example, in an isostearic acid having a methyl branch, which is obtained as a by-product in the preparation of an oleic acid dimer, 75 wt. % thereof is an isostearic acid whose total numbers of carbon atoms is 18 (the sum of 1 and m: 14) and the remainder is composed of isostearic acids whose total numbers of carbon atoms are 14, 16 and 20, respectively, and the branched methyl group is located at the mid-chain of alkyl (Journal of the American Oil Chem. Society, Vol. 51, p. 522 (1974)).
In this reaction, the preferred mol ratio of the lower alkyl esters (11) and the pentaerythritol (12) is (11)/(12)=1/1-10/1.
Although any solvent can be used in this reaction, solvents which can dissolve both the lower alkyl esters of methyl branched fatty acid (11) and the pentaerythritol (12), for example, dimethyl formamide are preferred.
Also, an alkaline catalyst is generally used as a reaction catalyst, and, for example, sodium methylate is used by preference. Although any amount of a catalyst can be used, the preferred amount of a catalyst is in a range of 0.1-20 mol % to the lower alkyl esters of methyl branched fatty acid ester (11). This reaction is carried out at a reaction temperature of 60.degree.-150.degree. C.
The separation of the compound (4) from the reaction mixture is carried out by known methods, singly or in combination, e.g., solvent distillation, recrystallization and chromatography.
Also, the preferred range of a and b in formula (5) representing branched fatty acid glycero glycolipids is the same as that of the aforementioned 1 and m.
The branched fatty acid glycero glycolipids (5) can be prepared according to the following scheme: ##STR21## wherein X.sup.1 is a halogen atom, M is a hydrogen atom or a cationic group, and R.sup.5 has the aforementioned meaning.
Namely, the compound (5) is prepared by reacting the compound (13) with the fatty acid (14).
The compound (13) used in this method can easily be prepared by any well known method such as a reaction of monosaccharides or oligosaccharides and glyceryl monohalohydrin, glyceryl dihalohydrin, or epihalohydrin.
The compound (14) can be prepared, for example, by reacting a fatty acid with an alkali metal hydroxide such as sodium hydroxide or an amine in the presence of a proper solvent. Examples of the cationic group indicated by M in the compound (14) include alkali metals, an ammonium group, an alkyl ammonium group and a trialkanol amine.
In the practice of this method, the compounds (13) and (14) are reacted, for example, at a temperature of 30.degree.-150.degree. C., preferably at a temperature of 70.degree.-120.degree. C. The amount of the compound (14) used in the reaction is 0.3-3.0 times in mol to the compound (13), preferably 1.0-2.0 times in mol. When M of the compound (14) is a hydrogen atom, the reaction is carried out in the co-presence of alkaline substances. Examples of alkaline substances include alkali metal hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, alkali metal alcoholates and alkyl amine hydroxide.
In this reaction, a polar solvent may be used to promote thorough blending of the compounds (13) and (14), thereby smoothly carrying out the reaction. As the polar solvent useful in the reaction, one or more may be selected from dimethyl formamide, dimethyl acetamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, N-methyl pyrrolidone, pyridine and water. The amount of the solvent is not specified. In this reaction, a phase transfer catalyst may also be used to promote the reaction when necessary. Although any amount of a phase transfer catalyst can be used, the amount is usually in a range of 0.1-10 mol % to the compound (14). Examples of the phase transfer catalyst include tetraalkyl ammonium chlorides such as tetraethyl ammonium bromide, tetrapropyl ammonium bromide, tetrabutyl ammonium bromide, tetraheptyl ammonium bromide, tetrahexyl ammonium bromide, N,N,N-trimethyl-N-octyl ammonium chloride, N,N,N-trimethyl-N-decyl ammonium chloride, N,N,N-trimethyl-N-dodecyl ammonium chloride, N,N,N-trimethyl-N-hexadecyl ammonium chloride, N,N,N-trimethyl-N-octadecyl ammonium chloride, N,N-dimethyl-N,N-dihexadecyl ammonium chloride and N,N-dimethyl-N,N-dioctadecyl ammonium chloride.
The reaction product generally contains inorganic salts and unreacted compounds (13) and (14) as by-products other than the target glycero glycolipids (5). Although the reaction product can be used as is when the purpose allows, it can be purified by well known methods such as partition chromatography, adsorption chromatography and recrystallization, when a product having a higher purity is required.
The compounds (A-1), (A-2) and (A-3) obtained from by the above-mentioned reaction are thermotropic liquid crystals which take lamellar liquid crystal structures in a wide temperature range, and have excellent properties such as a property of uniformly dispersing as lamellar liquid crystals when mixed with water.
