Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to a cosmetic. More particularly, it relates to a cosmetic which is excellent in water repellency and water resistance, further has an oil resistance, prevents cosmetic components such as pigments from the removal due to sweat or sebum and thus gives long-lasting makeup effect.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Many water and oil repellent powders obtained by treating powders with a fluorine compound have been known as disclosed, for example, in JP-A-55-167209 (the term "JP-A" as used herein means an "unexamined published Japanese Patent Application"), JP-A-62-250074, JP-A-1-180811 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,632,744.

On the other hand, there has been required cosmetics, in particular, makeup cosmetics, which are excellent in, for example, water repellency and long-lasting makeup effect. When it is attempted to blend an oil commonly employed in these cosmetic products with a powder surface-treated with a fluorine compound in order to improve water repellency, however, the powder cannot be uniformly dispersed in the oil and thus any cosmetic having a good water repellency can be hardly obtained.

Accordingly, there has been required to develop a cosmetic, wherein a powder is uniformly dispersed, having a good water repellency, a good water resistance and a good long-lasting makeup effect.

On the other hand, powders have been added to cosmetics in order to color the skin or hair, to cover spots and freckles and to protect the skin from, for example, UV rays. In particular, an emulsified cosmetic, which shows a good feel and multi-functions, is blended with a powder to thereby give various cosmetic products including emulsified foundations, UV-protective emulsions and creams.

Recently, hydrophobic powders and hydrophobic-treated powders have been used in order to improve the adhesiveness to the skin and to impart water (sweat) resistance. When such a hydrophobic powder is to be stably blended with an emulsified cosmetic, however, it is required to thicken an oily phase used as a dispersion medium or to increase the amount of an emulsifier or a dispersant. Thus it is very difficult to obtain a product which shows a good feel and sustains powders in a stable state.

Further, in recent years, it has been attempted to use liquid perfluoro organic compounds in order to impart sebum and oil resistance to cosmetics, to make the skin or hair moist and smooth and to protect the skin and hair, as disclosed, for example, in JP-A-61-234928 and JP-A-63-107911. However, these perfluoro organic compounds are incompatible with other components commonly employed in cosmetics and thus it is difficult to obtain a stable emulsified cosmetic by using them.

Accordingly, there has been required to develop an emulsified cosmetic which has the desired characteristics of a liquid perfluoro organic compound and a hydrophobic powder, shows a good feel at the application and remains stable.

On the other hand, silicone oils, which have a smooth feel at the application compared with hydrocarbon oils and a good water repellency, have been frequently employed. In particular, a volatile silicone oil is used in cosmetics since it shows a good spreadability on the skin, a good adhesiveness due to the volatilization, and a high resistance against sweat. However, conventional cosmetics comprising a silicone oil is disadvantageous in that cosmetic components are easily removed by sebum and that they lack a moist feel at the application.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a cosmetic which is excellent in water repellency, water resistance, sebum resistance and oil resistance, prevents cosmetic components such as pigments and UV absorbers from the removal due to sweat or sebum, shows a good spreadability on the skin and gives a desirable feel at the application, for example, a moist and refreshing feel.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Under these circumstances, the present inventors have conducted extensive studies. As a result, they found that a cosmetic, in which a powder is uniformly dispersed in an oil, having a markedly improved-effect of preventing cosmetic components such as pigments from the removal due to sebum and an improved long-lasting makeup effect can be obtained by using a fluorine compound-treated powder in combination with a liquid perfluoro organic compound. Also, the present inventors further found that a surfactant, an aqueous medium, a perfluoro organic compound and a hydrophobic powder are compatible with each other and an emulsified cosmetic, which is excellent in a feel at the use and in stability, can be obtained by combining these components without deteriorating superior performances of the perfluoro organic compound and the hydrophobic powder. Thus the present invention has been completed.

Accordingly, the present invention provides, as the first embodiment of the invention, a cosmetic which comprises the following Components (A) and (B):

(A) a fluorine compound-treated powder; and (B) a liquid perfluoro organic compound; wherein said fluorine compound-treated powder amounts from 5 to 95% by weight and said liquid perfluoro organic compound amounts from 5 to 95% by weight.

The present invention further provides, as the second embodiment of the invention, a cosmetic which comprises the following Components (A), (B) and (C):

(A) a fluorine compound-treated powder; (B) a liquid perfluoro organic compound; and (C) a silicone oil.

The present invention furthermore provides, as the third embodiment of the invention, an emulsified cosmetic which comprises the following Components (A'), (B), (D) and (E):

(A') a hydrophobic powder; (B) a liquid perfluoro organic compound; (D) an aqueous medium; and (E) a surfactant.

Examples of the salt as mentioned above include an alkali metal salt, an alkaline earth metal salt, an ammonium salt, an alkanolamine salt, and the like.

JP-A-2-218603 states as follows:

2. Scope of Claim:

A cosmetic which is characterized by containing a hydrophibic powder obtained by treating one or two or more powders selected from inorganic powders and organic powders with a perfluoproalkylsilane represented by formula:

R.sub.f (CH.sub.2).sub.n SiX.sub.3 (wherein R.sub.f represents a perfluoroakyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms; X's may be the same or different from each other and each represent an alkoxy group, a halogen atom or an alkyl group, provided that all X's are not alkyl groups at the same time; and n represents an integer of 1 to 5).

Among these fluorine compounds, the polyfluoroalkylphosphate of the general formula (I) is preferred for the fluorine compound-treated powder to be used as Component (A) in the first and second embodiments of the invention.

The material of the powder to be treated with the fluorine compound is not particularly restricted so long as it is substantially insoluble in water and oils (for example, pigments, UV absorbers ).

The form Of the powder to be treated is not particularly restricted. For example, those of plate form, amorphous form, scale form, spherical form or the like, or those having or not having pores can be used in the present invention. However, the powder of plate form or spherical form is preferred.

Also, the primary particle size of the powder to be treated is not particularly restricted so long as the powder is in the form of a powder. However, in the first and second embodiments of the invention, a powder having a primary particle size of from 0.01 to 80 .mu.m is preferred and of from 0.1 to 20 .mu.m is more preferred in view of the feel at the use.

Examples of the powder include inorganic pigments such as titanium oxide, iron oxide, ultramarine blue, zinc white, magnesium oxide, zirconium oxide, mica, sericite, talc, silica, kaolin, chromium hydroxide and carbon black; organic powders such as nylon powder, polymethyl methacrylate, styrene/divinylbenzene copolymer and polyethylene powder; and UV absorbers such as ultra-fine titanium dioxide powders, ultra-fine zinc oxide powders and fine zinc oxide flakes.

The method for treating the powder with the fluorine compound is not particularly restricted. For example, the fluorine compound is dissolved in an organic solvent (for example, benzene, toluene, acetone) with heating and then the powder is added thereto followed by stirring. After distilling off the solvent, the powder is coated with the fluorine compound. After the completion of the coating, the powder may be baked at a temperature higher than the melting point of the fluorine compound so as to achieve well drape. Prior to the coating with the use of an organic solvent, the powder may be dried by baking at 110.degree. C. under reduced pressure for about 30 minutes to 80 hours. Thus the water repellency after the coating can be further improved. In these coating procedures, a mixture of two or more powders may be used. Furthermore, the powder may be simultaneously treated with known coating agent(s) other than the fluorine compound (for example, silicon, higher fatty acids, higher alcohols, esters, waxes), so long as the effects of the present invention are not deteriorated thereby.

The amount of the fluorine compound may vary depending on the kind of the compound. It is preferable to use the fluorine compound in an amount of from 0.1 to 50% by weight, more preferably from 2 to 20% by weight, based on the powder(s). When the amount of the fluorine compound is excessively small, a sufficient water repellency may not be obtained. When the amount of the fluorine compound is excessively large, on the other hand, the inherent good spreadability of the extender tends to be deteriorated.

These fluorine compound-treated powders can be used either alone or a mixture of two or more of them in the present invention. The fluorine compound-treated powders may be used in the first embodiment of the present invention in an amount of from 5 to 95% by weight, preferably from 5 to 70% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition.

It is not always necessary that these perfluoro groups given in parentheses in the general formula (II) align in that order. Further, either random polymerization or block polymerization maybe employed. Among these perfluoro polyethers, liquid ones having a viscosity of from 5 to 5,000 cs are preferable. More useful examples thereof include the compounds represented by the following general formula (III): ##STR2## wherein x and y represent each such a number as to gave a molecular weight of from 500 to 10,000, provided that x/y is from 0.2 to 2, which are available from Montefluos Co., Ltd. under the tradenames of FOMBLIN MC-04 (average molecular weight: 1.500), FOMBLIN HC-25 (average molecular weights 3,200) and FOMBLIN HC-R (average molecular weights 6,600); and the compounds represented by the following general formula (IV): ##STR3## wherein z represents a number of from 4 to 500, which are available from Daikin Industries, Ltd. under the tradenames of Demnum S-20 (molecular weight (Mw): 25,000), Denmum S-65 (molecular Weight (Mw): 4,500), Demnum S-100 (molecular weight (Mw): 5,600) and Demnum S-200 (molecular weight (Mw): 8,400 ).

The liquid perfluoro organic compound(s) may be used in the first embodiment of the present invention in an amount of from 5 to 95% by weight, preferably from 5 to 60% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition.

In addition to the aforesaid essential Components (A) and (B), the cosmetic of the first embodiment of the present invention may further contain other components commonly employed in cosmetics, so long as the effects of the present invention are not deteriorated thereby. Examples of such components include solid/semisolid oils such as vaseline, lanolin, ceresin, microcrystalline wax, carnauba wax, candelilla wax, higher fatty acids and higher alcohols; liquid oils such as olive oil, jojoba oil, castor oil, squalane, liquid paraffin, ester oil, diglycerides, triglycerides and silicone oil; water-soluble and oil-soluble polymers; colorants such as inorganic and organic pigments, metal soap-treated or silicone-treated inorganic and organic pigments and organic dyes; surfactants such as anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, nonionic surfactants and dimethylpolysiloxane/polyoxyalkylene copolymer; water preservatives; pigments; thickeners; pH controllers perfumes; UV absorbers; humectants; blood flow enhancing agents; agents causing cold sensation; antiperspirants; bactericides; and skin activators.

The cosmetic of this embodiment may be formulated into makeup cosmetics (for example, liquid foundation, powder foundation, rouge, eye shadow), medical cosmetics (for example, sunscreen) and medicines for external use (for example, antiinflamatry agent, skin protector) in a conventional manner.

The cosmetic of this embodiment, in which a fluorine compound-treated powder is uniformly dispersed, is excellent in water repellency and water resistance, has a good oil resistance, can prevent cosmetic components such as pigments from the removal due to sweat or sebum and shows an improved long-lasting makeup effect.

Now, a cosmetic, which is the second embodiment of the present invention, comprising the following Components (A), (B) and (C) will be described in detail:

(A) a fluorine compound-treated powder; (B) a liquid perfluoro organic compound; and (C) a silicone oil.

As the silicone oil to be used as Component (C) in this embodiment, any silicone oil commonly used in cosmetics may be used. It is particularly preferable to use a volatile low molecular silicone oil or a cyclic silicone oil, from the viewpoint of the feel at the application. Examples of such silicone oils include low molecular silicone oils such as a methylpolysiloxane, a dimethylpolystloxane and a methylphenylpolysiloxane, whose viscosity are from 0.65 to 10 cs, and cyclic silicone oils such as a decamethylcycopentasiloxane and an octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane.

Either one of these silicone oils or a combination of two or more of them may be used in the present invention. The content of these silicone oils in the second embodiment of the present invention may preferably range from 1 to 70% by weight, more preferably 5 to 50% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. When the content thereof is smaller than 1% by weight, the feel at the application tends to be deteriorated. When it exceeds 70% by weight, on the other hand, the long-lasting makeup effect tends to be deteriorated.

As the fluorine compound-treated powder to be used as Component (A) in this embodiment, those described above as the fluorine compound-treated powders may be used.

These fluorine compound-treated powders may be preferably used in the second embodiment of the present invention in an amount of from 0.01 to 95% by weight, more preferably from 0.1 to 85% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. When the content thereof is smaller than 0.01% by weight, the effects of this embodiment tends to be deteriorated. When it exceeds 95% by weight, on the other hand, the feel at the application tends to be deteriorated.

As the liquid perfluoro organic compound to be used as Component (B) in this embodiment, those described above as the liquid perfluoro organic compounds may be used.

Either one of these liquid perfluoro organic compounds or a combination of two or more of them may be used in this embodiment. These liquid perfluoro organic compounds may be used in the second embodiment of the present invention in an amount of from 1 to 70% by weight, more preferably from 5 to 50% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. When the content thereof is smaller than 1% by weight, the dispersibility of the fluorine compound-treated powder in the cosmetic of this embodiment tends to be deteriorated. When it exceeds 70% by weight, on the other hand, the feel at the application of the cosmetic of this embodiment tends to be deteriorated.

In addition to the aforesaid essential Components (A), (B) and (C), the cosmetic of this embodiment may further contain, if required, various components commonly used in cosmetics as cited above, so long as the effects of the present invention are not deteriorated thereby.

The cosmetic of this embodiment may be formulated into any form (for example, powder, emulsion), without restriction. From the viewpoint of the feel at the application and effects, however, it maybe preferably formulated into an emulsified cosmetic. In this case, it is recommended to add from 10 to 80% by weight, preferably from 20 to 50% by weight, of water and from 0.1 to 10% by weight, preferably from 0.5 to 5% by weight, of surfactant(s), each based on the total weight of the composition, in addition to the aforesaid essential components.

The cosmetic of the present invention may be produced in a conventional manner. It is applicable as makeup cosmetics (for example, liquid foundation, powder foundation, rouge, eye shadow) and medical cosmetics (for example, sunscreen).

The cosmetic of this embodiment of the present invention can prevent cosmetic components such as pigments and UV absorbers from the removal due to sweat and sebum, shows a good spreadability on the skin and gives a good texture such as an appropriate moist and refreshing feel.

Next, an emulsified cosmetic, which is the third embodiment of the present invention, comprising the following components (A'), (B), (D) and (E) will be described in detail.

(A') a hydrophobic powder; (B) a liquid perfluoro organic compound; (D) an aqueous medium; and (E) a surfactant.

Examples of the surfactant to be used as Component (E) in this embodiment of the present invention include nonionic surfactants such as a monoglyceride, a sorbitan fatty acid ester, a sucrose fatty acid ester, a polyglycerol fatty acid ester, an alkanolamide, an amine oxide, a polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, a polyethylene glycol fatty acid ester, a polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid ester, a polyoxyethylene glycerol monofatty acid ester, a polyoxyethylene propylene glycol monofatty acid ester, a polyoxyethylene hardened castor oil, a polyoxyethylene fatty acid amide, a polyoxyethylene alkylamine and an alkyl saccharide, anionic surfactants such as an alkyl sulfate salt, an alkyl ether sulfate, a fatty acid soap, an ether carboxylic acid and a salt thereof, an alkanesulfonate, an .alpha.-olefinesulfonate, a sulfonate of a higher fatty acid esters, dialkylsuofosuccinates, monoalkylsulfosuccinate, a polyoxyethylene monoalkylsulfosuccinate, a sulfonate of a higher fatty acid amide, a higher fatty acid alkylolamide sulfate salt, an acylated amino acid salt and an amino acid salt of a .beta.-branched monoalkylphosphoric acid; cationic surfactants such as an alkyltrimethylammonium salt, a dialkyldimethylammonium salt, an alkyldimethylbenzylammonium salt and an alkylpyridinium salt; and amphoteric surfactant, such as an imidazoline surfactant, an amido amino acid salt, an alkylbetaine surfactant and an alkylsulfobetaine surfactant.

Either one of these surfactants or a combination of two or more of them may be used in the cosmetic of the third embodiment of the present invention. These surfactants may be preferably used in the cosmetic of the this embodiment in an amount of from 0.01 to 20% by weight, more preferably from 0 01 to 5% by weight based on the total weight of the composition. When the surfactant content is smaller than 0.01% by weight, the emulsion of this embodiment tends to be unstable. When this content exceeds 20% by weight, on the other hand, the hydrophobic properties of the powder tends be undesirably affected.

As the aqueous medium to be used as Component (D) in this embodiment, water may be used optionally together with water-soluble alcohol such as ethanol, glycerol, propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol or 1,3-butandiol. This aqueous medium is employed in order to dilute the surfactant of component (E). The content of the aqueous medium in this embodiment is not particularly restricted, it may preferably range from 0.5 to 40% by weight, more preferably from 2 to 30% by weight, based on total weight of the composition. When the content of the aqueous medium is smaller than 0.5% by weight the feel of the cosmetic of this embodiment tends to be deteriorated. When this content exceeds 40% by weight, on the other hand, the emulsion of this embodiment tends to be unstable.

As the liquid perfluoro organic compound to be used as Component (B) in this embodiment, the aforesaid liquid perfluoro organic compounds may be used.

The content of the liquid perfluoro organic compound in this embodiment is preferably from 40 to 98% by weight, more preferably from 50 to 90% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. When the content is less than 40% by weight, the resulting composition tends to be difficult to be emulsified. When the content exceeds 98% by weight, on the other hand, the emulsion of this embodiment tends to be unstable.

The hydrophobic powder to be used as Component (A') in this embodiment includes common hydrophobic powders as well as hydrophobically treated powders prepared by hydrophobically treating the surface of one or two powders selected from among inorganic and organic powders.

The surface treatment maybe performed by, for example, an oil treatment method which comprises allowing the surface of a powder to adsorb a fat or making a powder lipophilic through esterification or etherification by using a functional group such as hydroxyl group; a metal soap treatment method by using a zinc or magnesium salt of a fatty acid; a silicone treatment method by using dimethylpolysiloxane or methylhydrogenpolysiloxane; and a method comprising treating with a fluorine compound having a perfluoroalkyl group. The "fluorine compound" to be used in this embodiment includes, for example, a polyfluoroalkylphosphate as disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,632,744, which is represented by the following general formula (I):

[C.sub.s F.sub.2s+1 C.sub.t H.sub.2t O].sub.l PO(OM).sub.3-l(I) wherein s represents an integer of from 4 to 14; t represents an integer of from 1 to 16; l represents a number of from 1 to 2.5 on the average; and M, which may be the same or different from each other when l represents a number less than 2, each independently represents a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal, an ammonium group or a substituted ammonium group such as protonated mono-, di- or tri-ethanol amine; provided that the total of s and t is at least 8; a resin having perfluoroalkyl groups as disclosed, for example, in JP-A-55-167209; an ethylene tetrafluoride resin; a perfluoroalcohol; a perfluoroepoxy compound; a sulfoamide fluorophosphoric acid or a salt thereof, a perfluorosulfuric acid or a salt thereof; a perfluorocarboxylic acid or a salt thereof; and perfluoroalkylsilane as disclosed, for example, in JP-A-2-218603; though the present invention is not restricted by these examples. Examples of the salt as mentioned above include an alkali metal salt, an alkaline earth metal salt, an ammonium salt, an alkanolamine salt, and the like.

Among these compound to be used for treating powders the polyfluoroalkylphosphate of the general formula (I) is preferred for the hydrophobic powder to be used as Component (A') in this embodiment.

The mother powder to be treated with these compounds is not particularly restricted so long as it is substantially insoluble in water and oils. Examples of the powder to be treated include inorganic pigments such as titanium oxide, iron oxide, ultramarine blue, zinc white, magnesium oxide, zirconium oxide, mica, sericite, talc, silica, kaolin, chromium hydroxide and carbon black; organic powders such as nylon powder, polymethyl methacrylate, styrene/divinylbenzene copolymer and polyethylene powder; and organic pigments. Among these powders, it is preferred to use those having a primary particle size of from 0.01 to 80 .mu.m, more preferably from 0.1 to 20 .mu.m.

Either one of these hydrophobic powders or a combination of two or more of them maybe used in the cosmetic of the third embodiment of the present invention as Component (A'). In this embodiment, these hydrophobic powders may be preferably used in an amount of from 0.01 to 50% by weight, more preferably from 0.1 to 30% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. When the content of the hydrophobic powder is smaller than 0.01% by weight, the effects of this embodiment tends to be inferior. When it exceeds 50% by weight, on the other hand, the emulsion of this embodiment tends to be unstable.

In the emulsified cosmetic of this embodiment, a liquid oil can be added in addition to the liquid perfluoro organic compound (Component (B)). Examples of the liquid oil include olive oil, jojoba oil, castor oil, squalane, liquid paraffins, ester oils, diglycerides, triglycerides and silicone oils.

In this embodiment, the total content of Component (A'), Component (B) and liquid oil(s) other than Component (B) may be preferably 60% by weight or above, more preferably 70% by weight or above, based on the total weight of the composition. When this content is smaller than 60% by weight, the emulsified cosmetic of this embodiment tends to be unstable.

In addition to the aforesaid essential Components (A'), (B), (D) and (E), the cosmetic of this embodiment may further contain various components commonly used in cosmetics, as those cited above, so long as the effects of this embodiment of the present invention are not deteriorated thereby.

In the emulsified cosmetic of this embodiment, a large amount of the liquid perfluoro organic compound and a large amount of the hydrophobic powder can be stably blended. Such a stable emulsified cosmetic may be obtained by, for example, uniformly dissolving Components (D) and (E), optionally together with an arbitrary aqueous component, in an aqueous medium and slowly adding Component (A') suspended in Component (B) optionally together with an arbitrary liquid oil to the above-mentioned aqueous phase under starring. The cosmetic of this embodiment thus obtained may be used as cosmetic bases (for example, skin-care cream, cleansing cream, UV-protective cream), makeup cosmetics (for example, foundation, mascara, eye shadow), hair-care products (for example, hair-care gel, shampoo, hair dye), medical cosmetics and medicines for external use.

The emulsified cosmetic of this embodiment, in which the liquid perfluoro organic compound and the hydrophobic powder are stably contained without deteriorating the performance thereof, is excellent in the feel at the application and stability.

To further illustrate the present invention, the following Examples will be given.
