Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] This invention relates in general to a pack cosmetic, and more particularly to a pack cosmetic containing dextrin as the main film agent which gives high levels of tension, adhesion, and a stretched feeling during use after drying; it not only gives a good feeling during use as a pack agent but also is easy to remove without straining the skin and leaves a moist feeling after removal.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Conventionally, pack cosmetics can be largely divided into those which contain a large amount of humectants and oil for the purpose of moisture retention and activation of the skin and those which are given higher tension and adhesion during use for the purpose of cleansing.

[0003] Both types use, as the film agent, polyvinyl alcohol, vinyl acetate emulsion, xanthan gum, carboxyvinyl polymer, polyvinyl pyrolidone, and synthetic cellulose type polymer compounds.

[0004] However, the pack cosmetic which is given high tension and adhesion for the purpose of cleansing forms a film hardly soluble in water after drying and therefore strains the skin significantly when being peeled off and is not easy to remove, making it unsuitable for application on the whole face.

[0005] Also, the pack cosmetic which aims at moisture retention and activation does not form a strong film and therefore it does not give adequate tension and adhesion. There has not been any pack cosmetic which simultaneously gives moisture retention and activation effects as well as adequate tension and adhesion.

[0006] In view of the aforementioned situation, the inventors conducted earnest research to obtain a pack cosmetic which gives high tension, adhesion, and a stretched feeling during use and does not strain the skin when being peeled off, and discovered that a pack cosmetic which solves the aforementioned problem, i.e. gives adequate tension, adhesion, and a stretched feeling to the skin and is easy to peel off after use, giving a superior moist feeling, can be obtained by blending in dextrin as the main film agent in the pack base agent, thus completing the present invention.

[0007] The object of the present invention is to provide a new pack cosmetic which gives high tension, adhesion, and a stretched feeling during use, is easy to remove without straining the skin, and can give a superior moist feeling.

[0014] Furthermore, the present invention provides the aforementioned pack cosmetic wherein said pack cosmetic is a peel-off, wipe-off, or rinse-off type pack cosmetic.

THE BEST MODES OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0015] The configuration of the present invention is described in detail below.

[0016] The dextrin for use in the present invention refers to the intermediate products of the process of hydrolyzing starch to maltose. They are represented by the general formula (C6H10O5)n.xH2O and obtained by treating starch with enzymes, acid, heat, etc.

[0017] There are various types of dextrin depending on the method of hydrolysis. Examples include soluble starch, thin-glue starch, amylodextrin, white dextrin, yellow dextrin, erythrodextrin, and achrodextrin. Any one or more of them can be selected for use. For example, a water soluble mixture with various molecular weights can be used which is prepared by obtaining crude dextrin through a heating treatment, hydrolysis with acid, or hydrolysis with diastase of starch, dissolving it in water, followed by purification by means of precipitation using alcohol. Commercial products can be used.

[0018] The blend ratio of the dextrin in the pack cosmetic is preferably 0.5-25 wt %, more preferably 3.0-20 wt %, the most preferably 10-15 wt %, of the total pack cosmetic. If it is less than 0.5 wt % then adequate tension, adhesion, and a stretched feeling on the skin may not be achieved. If it is more than 25 wt % then there may be stability problems in that gelation occurs over time, discoloration occurs at high temperatures, etc.

[0019] It is preferable that the pack cosmetic of the present invention contain a polymer compound in addition to the aforementioned essential ingredients. Combined use with the polymer compound allows even higher tension, adhesion, and stretched feeling on the skin and increases the viscosity of the pack cosmetic to facilitate the application. This also has the effect of removing keratotic plugs.

[0020] The polymer compound used in the present invention is one of those which can be blended into the pack cosmetic in the form of an emulsion polymer or water soluble polymer. For the emulsion polymer, preferable are polyvinyl acetate and polyethyl acrylate. For the water soluble polymer, preferable are polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrolidone, polyvinylmethyl ether, alkanolamine polyacrylate, vinyl pyrolidone-vinyl acetate copolymer, gum arabic, gelatin, methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium arginate, alkyl methacrylate-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate copolymer, polymethacryloyloxytrimethyl ammonium, and poly-2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid. Particularly preferable examples in terms of both usability, such as giving a stretched feeling, and removal of keratotic plugs include polyvinyl acetate, polyethyl acrylate, polyvinyl pyrolidone, polyvinylmethyl ether, alkanolamine polyacrylate, and vinyl pyrolidone-vinyl acetate copolymer.

[0021] One or more of these polymer compounds can be selected for blending in. The blend ratio is preferably 0.1-10 wt % of the total pack cosmetic.

[0022] In addition to the aforementioned essential ingredients, it is preferable to blend an alcohol into the pack cosmetic of the present invention. Combined use with an alcohol allows even higher tension, adhesion, and stretched feeling on the skin and has the effect of accelerating the drying process after application of the pack cosmetic.

[0023] The alcohol used in the present invention is a lower alcohol, preferably ethanol or isopropanol. The blend ratio is preferably 1-30 wt % of the total pack cosmetic.

[0024] In addition to the aforementioned essential ingredients, it is preferable to blend a powder into the pack cosmetic of the present invention. Combined use with a powder allows even higher tension, adhesion, and stretched feeling on the skin and has the effect of accelerating the drying process after application of the pack cosmetic.

[0025] For use as the powder in the present invention, the mica type, the talc type, resin powder (including those which are spherical), silica, etc. are preferably used. One or more of these can be selected for blending in. The blend ratio is preferably 0.1-20 wt %.

[0026] In the present invention, oils and surfactants can be blended in addition to the aforementioned ingredients to further improve usability. The addition of an oil and a surfactant significantly improves the spreading during application on the skin, improves the moist feeling after use, and provides a pack cosmetic with a very smooth feeling.

[0027] The oil used in the present invention is not limited in particular, and any oil which is used in cosmetics can be used. Examples include natural animal/plant oils/fats such as macademia nut oil, evening primrose oil, olive oil, mink oil, jojoba oil, lanolin, and squalene; hydrocarbons such as liquid petrolatum, squalane, and petrolatum; higher alcohols such as cetanol, stearyl alcohol, and cetyl alcohol; higher fatty acids such as myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, behenic acid, isostearic acid, oleic acid, linolic acid, linolenic acid, and oxystearic acid; esters such as pentaerythritol tetra 2-ethylhexanoate, isopropylmyristic acid, isopropylpalmitic acid, isopropylstearic acid, and glyceryl 2-ethylhexanoate; diorgano polysiloxanes with low to high viscosity such as dimethyl polysiloxane, methylphenyl polysiloxane, methylhydrogen polysiloxane and dimethyl siloxane/methylphenyl siloxane copolymer, cyclic siloxanes such as octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, decamethylcyclopentasiloxane and tetramethyltetraphenyltetracyclosiloxane, cyclic siloxane solutions such as high polymer gum-like dimethyl polysiloxane, gum-like dimethylsiloxane/methylphenylsiloxane copolymer and gum-like dimethyl polysiloxane, diorgano polysiloxane containing alkyl groups with a carbon number of 6-50, and silicone oils such as amino modified silicone, alkyl modified silicone and fluorine modified silicone. One or more of these oils can be blended in. Using volatile silicone oil is preferable in terms of the sensation at the time of application. It is also possible to give a moist feeling to the skin after peeling by adding natural animal/plant oils/fats.

[0028] The blend ratio of the oil is 0.1-40 wt % of the total pack cosmetic. If it is less than 0.1 wt %, then the smooth feeling is insufficient. If it is more than 40 wt %, then stickiness may arise after use. A preferable range is 0.3-30 wt %, more preferably 1.0-20 wt %.

[0029] The selection of the surfactant for use in the present invention is not limited in particular, and surfactants which are normally blended into cosmetics can be used. For example, lipophilic non-ionic surfactants, hydrophilic nonionic surfactants, anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, and ampholytic surfactants can be used.

[0035] The blend ratio of the surfactant is not limited in particular and can be decided at will. Usually, 10 wt % or less of the total pack cosmetic is blended in. A blend ratio over 10 wt % may cause stickiness.

[0036] Also, in the present invention, it is preferable to blend in an acrylic acid methacrylic acid alkyl polymer in view of long-term stability. Particularly when the formulation of the pack cosmetic is a gel composition, the addition of oil may affect the long term stability. However, a gel composition pack cosmetic which has superior long term stability can be obtained by adding an acrylic acid methacrylic acid alkyl polymer. The type of the acrylic acid methacrylic acid alkyl polymer is not limited in particular. For example, Pemulen TR-2 (from B.F. Goodrich company), which is commercially available, can be used.

[0037] In addition to the aforementioned essential ingredients, the pack cosmetic of the present invention can contain, as necessary, ingredients commonly blended into a pack cosmetic within the range which does not affect the effect of the present invention. For example, other film agents, polyhydric alcohols, preservatives, disinfectants, ultraviolet absorbents, chelating agents, antioxidants, and perfumes can be blended in and the pack cosmetic can be manufactured according to a conventional method for any formulation.

[0038] The pack cosmetic of the present invention is a cosmetic which is widely used for the purpose of moisture retention and cleansing of the skin. Depending on how it is used, there are several types such as the peel-off type, wipe-off or rinse-off type, and pasting type. The way of the pack cosmetic of the present invention should be used is not limited in particular, but it should preferably be used as the wipe-off or rinse-off type pack cosmetic because it can be easily dissolved and removed by adding water.

[0060] [Preparation Method]

[0061] The water phase A was heated up to 80° C., stirred and dissolved, and cooled down to room temperature, to which the ethanol phase B, stirred and dissolved in a separate container, was added and homogeneously mixed to obtain the pack cosmetic.

[0062] As clearly shown in Table 2, the keratotic plug removal is not sufficient and there is pain at the time of peeling off if the blend ratio of dextin is less than 0.1 wt %. A blend ratio over 20 wt % is not preferable because then it feels sticky during use. Therefore, a preferable dextrin content is 0.1-20 wt %, more preferably 0.5-15 wt %.

[0063] Using the formulations shown in Table 3 and Table 4, emulsion type rinse-off type pack cosmetics were prepared and their usability was evaluated with an actual use test by a panel of ten evaluation specialists according to the following evaluation criteria. Also, each pack cosmetic was stored at temperatures of −10° C., 0° C., room temperature (RT), 37° C., and 50° C., and four weeks later the stability was evaluated with the following evaluating method based on change of appearance and viscosity. The results are also shown in Table 3 and Table 4.
