The present invention relates to an oil-in-water emulsified composition. Specifically, the present invention relates to an oil-in-water emulsified composition comprising lipopeptide compounds derived from microorganisms and xanthan gum, which is excellent in feeling upon use, moisture retention, emollient property and stability as well as environmental suitability and safety for living organisms.
Oil-in-water emulsified compositions, providing fresh feeling upon use, are being widely used in cosmetics, quasi-drugs and the like.
Generally, emulsified products are unstable to heat, and various methods for stably retaining the emulsified state are known. Among them, a method of increasing viscosity of the external phase is often employed. In case of oil-in-water emulsified composition, natural water-soluble polymers such as xanthan gum, locust bean gum, guar gum and carrageenan, and synthetic water-soluble polymers such as polyvinylalcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, sodium polyacrylate, carboxyvinyl polymer, alkyl-modified carboxyvinyl polymer and copolymer of alkyl-modified acrylic acid/methacrylic acid are used for the purpose of increasing the viscosity of the external phase.
As surfactants used in oil-in-water emulsified compositions, nonionic surfactants such as sorbitan fatty acid ester, polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid ester and polyoxyethylene alkylether have been conventionally used.
However, with respect to emulsified compound used in external preparation for skin and cosmetics, due to increasing concern in not only safety and mildness for skin but also environmental suitability, it is required to use a material having as high safety for the living body and as high environmental suitability as possible, and reduction in usage of synthetic water-soluble polymers and nonionic surfactants which include petroleum in their starting materials is being demanded.
In order to solve these problems, various studies are being made on oil-in-water emulsified compositions using water-soluble polymers and surfactants derived from natural materials. External preparation for skin and cosmetics using lipopeptide compounds derived from microorganisms are disclosed, for example, in JP-A-2000-327591 (WO99/62482), JP-A-2003-176211(WO03/013446), JP-A-2003-95853, JP-A-2003-12445, JP-A-2003-277220 and JP-A-2003-277250. However, in those techniques, there remain problems that emulsification is insufficient or that a stable emulsified product cannot be obtained.
An object of the present invention lies in provision of an oil-in-water emulsified composition which is excellent in feeling upon use, moisture retention, emollient property and stability as well as environmental suitability and safety for living organisms.
Another object of the present invention lies in provision of external preparations for skin and cosmetics using the oil-in-water emulsified composition.
As a result of intensive investigations to solve this problem, the present inventors have found that by using lipopeptide compounds derived from microorganisms and xanthan gum in combination, even without using synthetic water soluble polymer or nonionic surfactant, good emulsification can be attained to thereby obtain an oil-in-water emulsified composition which is excellent in feeling upon use, moisture retention, emollient property and stability as well as environmental suitability and safety for living organisms, and thus completed the present invention.

The invention is explained below in detail.
Examples of the lipopeptide compound (A) used in the invention include lipopeptide compounds produced by microorganisms of genus Bacillus such as Bacillus subtilis described in JP-A-2000-327591 (WO99/62482). Preferable examples include salts of surfactin and salts of analogous compounds thereof.
The surfactin herein refers to a compound represented by the formula (1):
or a composition containing two or more kinds of the compounds represented by the formula (1).
In the above formula (1), X represents an amino acid residue selected from the group consisting of leucine, isoleucine, valine, glycine, serine, alanine, threonine, asparagine, glutamine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, lysine, arginine, cysteine, methionine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, tryptophan, histidine, proline, 4-hydroxyproline and homoserine. Preferred X is leucine residue, isoleucine residue or valine residue.
R is a normal alkyl group having 8 to 14 carbon atoms, an isoalkyl group having 8 to 14 carbon atoms or an anteiso-alkyl group having 8 to 14 carbon atoms. The normal alkyl group is a straight chain alkyl group; the isoalkyl group usually has a structure which comprises (CH3)2CH—(CH2)n—; and the anteiso-isoalkyl group usually has a structure which comprises CH3—CH2—CH(CH3)— (CH2)n—.
The analogous compound of surfactin refers to compounds having amino acid(s) substituted by other amino acid (s) in the aforementioned formula (1). Specifically, examples of such a compound include compounds where L-leucine as the second amino acid, L-valine as the fourth amino acid and/or D-leucine as the sixth amino acid are substituted by other amino acid(s), but not limited thereto. Hereinafter, “surfactin or an analogous compound thereof” may be referred to as “surfactin”.
Surfactin can be utilized as the inorganic salt or the organic salt of a compound as represented by the above formula (1). Metal used for counter ion may be of any kind, for example, alkali metals such as sodium, potassium and lithium and alkaline earth metals such as calcium and magnesium, as long as the metal forms a salt with surfactin.
Examples of the organic salt include salts of trimethylamine, triethylamine, tributylamine, monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, lysine, arginine and choline.
Among these, salts of sodium, potassium, monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, lysine and arginine are preferred, and sodium salt is particularly preferred.
As sodium surfactin, it is preferred to use a product available on the market under the trade name of Aminofect (registered trademark of SHOWA DENKO K.K.).
The amount of lipopeptide compound contained in the composition of the present invention is preferably 0.1 to 5% by mass, more preferably 0.5 to 4% by mass, and still more preferably 0.8 to 3% by mass. When the amount is less than 0.1% by mass, the stability of the composition may be insufficient, and also in cases where the compound is used in an amount exceeding 5% by mass, it does not lead to increase in effects which is commensurate with the excess amount used can be obtained.
External preparations for skin and cosmetics using microorganism-derived lipopeptide compounds are disclosed, for example, in JP-A-2000-327591 (WO99/62482), JP-A-2003-176211(WO03/013446), JP-A-2003-95853, JP-A-2003-12445, JP-A-2003-277220 and JP-A-2003-277250 mentioned in the “background art” paragraph. However, none of the documents describes that by using a microorganism-derived lipopeptide compound in combination with xanthan gum, good emulsification property can be obtained without using synthetic water-soluble polymer or nonionic surfactant, and that thereby an oil-in-water emulsified composition excellent in feeling upon use, moisture retention, emollient property and stability as well as environmental suitability and safety for living organisms can be obtained. The present invention is the first to disclose the technique.
The xanthan gum (B) used in the present invention is not particularly limited and any kind can be used as long as the xanthan gum is generally used as raw material for external preparation for skin. Preferable examples of the xanthan gum usable in the present invention include Echo Gum, Echo Gum T and Echo Gum BT distributed by DAINIPPON PHARMACEUTICAL CO., LTD. The compounding amount of the xanthan gum in the composition of the present invention is preferably 0.05 to 1.5% by mass, more preferably 0.08 to 0.7% by mass, still more preferably 0.1 to 0.4% by mass. If the amount of the xanthan gum is less than 0.05% by mass, sufficient stability of the emulsified composition cannot be obtained. The amount of the xanthan gum exceeding 1.5% by mass is unpreferable, since it would deteriorate feeling upon using the composition of the present invention.
The oil-in-water emulsified composition of the present invention contains oil component (C). Any oil material can be employed unless it is arbitrarily mixed with water. It is preferable that one or more selected from hydrocarbons, natural fats and oils, fatty acids, higher alcohols, alkyl glyceryl ethers, esters and silicone oils be compounded in. The total compounding amount of oil components is preferably 25 to 70% by mass, more preferably 30 to 60% by mass, based on the total amount of the composition.
The oil-in-water emulsified composition of the present invention contains water (D). The water content is to be contained as balance, and a preferable range of the water content is from 15 to 55% by mass, and particularly preferred is from 20 to 50% by mass.
The oil-in-water emulsified composition of the present invention does not necessarily require use of nonionic surfactants or acrylic acid-base water-soluble polymers which are usually employed in production of conventional oil-in-water emulsified compositions and the composition of the present invention substantially does not have to contain such components. That is, preparation of the oil-in-water emulsified composition of the present invention may include addition of nonionic surfactants or acrylic acid base water-soluble polymers or may dispense with such components.
