Water-in-oil emulsion type cosmetics

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a water-in-oil type (hereinafter abbreviated as W/O type) emulsified composition useful as a cosmetic or ointment base. More specifically, it relates to a water-in-oil type emulsified composition having specific features whereby a range of oils from polar oils to non-polar oils can be widely employed as the oil component which becomes the outer phase and the emulsified composition obtained has an excellent temperature stability and usability.
The present invention also relates to a water-and polyhydric alcohol-in-oil type emulsified composition useful as a cosmetic or ointment base. More specifically, it relates to a water- and polyhydric alcohol-in-oil type emulsified composition having specific features whereby a silicone oil can be used as the oil component which becomes the outer phase, and the emulsified composition obtained has an excellent temperature stability. In the second aspect of the present invention, the composition is not referred to as a water-in-oil type emulsified composition or polyhydric alcohol-in-oil type emulsified composition, because the inner phase of this emulsion composition comprising the main component exists in the region bridging the region of water and the region of polyhydric alcohol, and therefore, neither expression is adequate. Accordingly, the term water- and polyhydric alcohol-in-oil type emulsified composition denotes an emulsified composition containing both water and a polyhydric alcohol in the oil phase.
2. Description of the Related Art
In the prior art, to obtain a W/O type emulsified composition, a lipophilic surfactant having a HLB value of 1 to 12, for example, a polyhydric alcohol fatty acid ester type surfactant such as glycerine fatty acid ester, sorbitan fatty acid ester, etc., is used as the emulsifier, this surfactant is added in an amount of about 0.4 to 5.0 g into the oil phase, to be dissolved therein by heating to about 70.degree. to 80.degree. C., and the aqueous phase heated to about the same temperature is then added, followed by stirring by a homomixer, etc., to obtain a W/O type emulsified composition (hereinafter called W/O type emulsion).
Nevertheless, the W/O type emulsion thus obtained has a drawback in that a system having an excellent temperature stability and usability can be obtained only with difficulty, compared with the oil-in-water type (hereinafter called O/W type) emulsion. For example, with regard to the temperature stability, a separation of the oil phase, which is the continuous phase, may occur due to an agglomeration of water droplets at a low temperature. This oil phase separation also occurs at a high temperature, in that water droplets are combined, and thus have an increased particle size, and precipitated to form a sediment lower layer, and thus the upper layer consists of only the oil phase. With regard to usability, since the outer phase consists of an oil component, the advantages of skin protection, flexibility, etc., can be obtained in the fields of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, although the drawbacks of stickiness during usage and a high skin barrier also exist.
In a known method for improving the temperature stability, a large amount of a wax is formulated in the oil phase, but although low temperature stability may be improved by this method, during storage at high temperature, a softening or melting, occurs of the formulated wax, and therefore, oil phase separation caused by water droplet combination cannot be alleviated, and thus another drawback of a problem of usability, such as spreading, arises.
As a method for eliminating the such usability problems, preferably a polar oil component having ester bond, as widely employed in the O/W type emulsion system, is formulated, but when the W/O type emulsifier used in the prior art is formulated, it is difficult to form a W/O type emulsion having an excellent stability in a system wherein a polar oil component is also formulated.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, the objects of the present invention are to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art and to provide a water-in-oil type emulsified composition capable of being widely employed as an oil component and having an excellent temperature stability and usability.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a water- and polyhydric alcohol-in-oil type emulsified composition capable of being employed as an oil component and having an excellent temperature stability.

In the practice of the first aspect of the present invention, one or two or more kinds may be selected and used as desired from among these nonionic surfactants. The amount formulated is preferably 0.05 to 2-fold relative to the water-swellable clay mineral.

For example, there may be included dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride, myristyltrimethylammonium chloride, cetyltrimethylammonium chloride, stearyltrimethylammonium chloride, arachyltrimethylammonium chloride, behenyltrimethylammonium chloride, myristyldimethylethylammonium chloride, cetyldimethylethylammonium chloride, stearyldimethylethylammonium chloride, arachyldimethylethylammonium chloride, behenyldimethylethylammonium chloride, myristyldiethylmethylammonium chloride, cetyldiethylmethylammonium chloride, stearyldiethylmethylammonium chloride, arachyldiethylmethylammonium chloride, behenyldiethylmethylammonium chloride, benzyldimethylmyristylammonium chloride, benzyldimethylcetylammonium chloride, benzyldimethylstearylammonium chloride, benzyldimethylbehenylammonium chloride, benzylmethylethylcetylammonium chloride, benzylmethylethylstearylammonium chloride, distearyldimethylammonium chloride, dibehenyldihydroxyethylammonium chloride, and corresponding bromides, etc., and further, dipalmitylpropylethylammonium methylsulfate, etc.
In the practice of the present invention, one or more kinds of these surfactants may be selected as desired.
The content of the quaternary ammonium salt type cationic surfactant in the W/O type emulsion of the present invention is preferably 40 to 140 milliequivalents (hereinafter abbreviated as meq) more preferably 60 to 120 meq, per 100 g of the water-swellable clay mineral. The quaternary ammonium salt type cationic surfactant and the water-swellable clay mineral may be added separately to the oil phase and the aqueous phase, respectively, during the preparation of the emulsion, or alternatively both, including a commercial product (e.g., Benton, produced by the National Lead Co.) may be previously allowed to react in a suitable solvent, and the reaction product may be added to the oil phase.
The polyoxyalkylene modified organopolysiloxane to be used in the second aspect of the present invention is preferably a polyoxyalkylene modified organopolysiloxane represented by the formulae (A), (B), (C), and (D) shown above, and any one or two or more kinds thereof may be formulated; the formulated amount being preferably 75 to 2000 g, more preferably 100 to 1500 g, based on 100 g of the water-swellable clay mineral.
The organic silicone resin to be used in the second aspect of the present invention comprises a suitable combination of the R.sub.3 SiO.sub.1/2 k units, R.sub.2 SiO units, RSiO.sub.3/2 units and SiO.sub.2 units, and the proportion thereof is selected so as to satisfy the average formula: RnSiO.sub.(4-n)/2 (R represents a hydrocarbon having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or a phenyl group, and n represents a value of 1.0 to 1.8), and desirably has an average molecular weight of about 1500 to 10000.
The amount of the organic silicone resin formulated in the present invention is 0.5 to 50% by weight in the emulsion composition, preferably 1 to 30% by weight. If less than 0.5% by weight, sufficient hardening cannot be obtained, and if over 50% by weight, the compatibility thereof with other oil components may be lowered, and the stickiness increased.
The polyoxyalkylene modified organopolysiloxane to be used in the third aspect of the present invention are those described above.
The water-swellable clay minerals to be used in the third aspect of the present invention are those as described above.
The quaternary salt type cationic surfactants to be used in the third aspect of the present invention are those as mentioned above.
The amounts of polyoxyalkylene modified organopolysiloxane, the water-swellable clay mineral, and the quaternary ammonium salt type cationic surfactant to be used in the third aspect of the present invention are controlled in accordance with the inner phase ratio and the viscosity of the emulsified composition to be obtained. Since the polyoxyalkylene modified organopolysiloxane participates in the emulsifiability, if the amount is too small, the emulsifiability is lowered, and the water-swellable clay mineral and the quaternary ammonium salt type cationic surfactant tend to raise the viscosity as the amounts formulated thereof are increased. Accordingly, the amounts of polyoxyalkylene modified organopolysiloxane, the water-swellable clay mineral and the quaternary ammonium salt type cationic surfactant formulated are preferably 0.5 to 20% by weight, 0.1 to 5% by weight, and 0.1 to 2% by weight, respectively.
As the silicone oil to be used as the oil phase in the third aspect of the present invention, any of those conventionally used for cosmetics or pharmaceuticals may be used, as exemplified by dimethylpolysiloxane, dimethylcyclopolysiloxane, methylphenylpolysiloxane, methylhydrogenpolysiloxane, higher fatty acid modified organopolysiloxane, higher alcohol modified organopolysiloxane, trimethylsiloxy silicate, etc. In particular, to remove the sticky feeling during usage, volatile dimethylpolysiloxane and dimethylcyclopolysiloxane having the structures (E) and (F) shown below can be exemplified, and one or more kinds thereof may be selected and used as desired.
The amount of the silicone oil formulated is related to the amount of the other oil phase components. If the amount of silicone oil is small, the properties of the oil phase become almost the same as the properties of the other formulated oil components, and thus a lipophilic surfactant suitable for the oil phase is preferably used. On the other hand, if the amount of silicone oil is high, the polyoxyalkylene modified organopolysiloxane of the present invention suitable for a silicone oil is preferably used. Accordingly, it is particularly preferred that the silicone oil comprise 50% or more of the oil phase component. ##STR3##

When the oil component is silicone oil alone, a region giving a certain transparency appears, whereby a specific appearance feature can be imparted.
The total amount of water and the polyhydric alcohol formulated may be about 5 to 80% by weight in the water- and polyhydric alcohol-in-oil type emulsified composition, preferably 10 to 70% by weight.

For preparing the water-in-oil type emulsified composition according to the first aspect of the present invention, for example, there may be included the method in which the water-swellable clay mineral, the oil component and the nonionic surfactant are mixed with stirring by heating to about 70.degree. C., the aqueous phase is added thereto, and the mixture is stirred, or the method in which the oil component and the nonionic surfactant are mixed by heating at about 70.degree. C., and the aqueous phase having the water-swellable clay mineral dispersed in and swelled with water is added, followed by stirring, etc.
In the W/O type emulsion according to the second aspect of the present invention, all oil components generally employed in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, etc., other than the above oil components can be used, and a broad range of from polar oils to non-polar oils can be used. Examples of oil components may include hydrocarbon type oil components such as liquid paraffin, squalane, petrolatum, microcrystalline wax, etc.; ester oils such as isopropyl myristate, cetyl isooctanoate, glyceryl trioctanoate, etc.; silicone oils such as octamethyltetrasiloxane, decamethylpentasiloxane, dimethylpolysiloxane, methylphenylpolysiloxane, etc.; high molecular weight silicones exhibiting soft rubbery state such as dimethylpolysiloxane, methylphenylpolysiloxane, terminal hydroxyl containing dimethylpolysiloxane, terminal hydroxyl containing methylphenylpolysiloxane (i.e., dimethylpolysiloxane containing a terminal hydroxyl group), etc.; lanolin, beeswax, olive oil, coconut oil, safflower oil, castor oil, cottonseed oil, jojoba oil, carunauba wax, macademia nut oil, fatty acids, higher alcohols, etc.; and drugs such as antiphlogistics, vitamins, hormones, etc.; these oil components can be formulated within the range which does not impair the effect of the present invention. Namely, these oil components can be formulated in the amount of 5 to 90% by weight in the W/O type emulsion, preferably 10 to 80% by weight.
In the W/O type emulsion according to the second aspect of the present invention, if desired, oil-soluble and water-soluble substances or dispersible substances can be formulated within the range which does not impair the effect of the present invention. For example, amino acids and salts thereof in NMF (Natural Moisturizing Factor) existing in the stratum corneum, lower alcohols, mucopolysaccharides, humectants, thickeners, preservatives, antioxidants, sequestering agents, UV-ray absorbers, drugs, galenicals, pigments, dispersing agents, flavors, etc. can be formulated.

The W/O type emulsion according to the first aspect of the present invention is prepared by utilizing the complex W/O emulsifying action of a conventional emulsifier and a water-swellable clay mineral, and the total amount of both functioning as the W/O emulsifier may be as small as 0.25 to 5% by weight, whereby the viscosity can be controlled by controlling the formulated amount or the ratio of the inner aqueous phase without the formulation of a solidifying agent such as wax, and an oil component with a high polarity, which could be formulated only with difficulty in the prior art, can be used, and accordingly, an excellent storage stability over a wide temperature range is obtained. The W/O type emulsion of the present invention having these great advantages can be widely utilized in the wide fields of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, etc.
In the W/O type emulsion according to the second aspect of the present invention, by utilizing an organic modified clay mineral formed from a water-swellable clay mineral, quaternary ammonium salt type cationic surfactant and a polyoxyalkylene modified organopolysiloxane as the emulsifier and gelling agent in the recipe, a good emulsifiability is exhibited even when the amount formulated is as small as 0.25 to 7% by weight, and by controlling the amount or the ratio of the inner aqueous phase or the outer oil phase, the viscosity can be controlled without formulating a large amount of a solidifying agent such as wax, etc. Also, an oil component with high polarity, which could be formulated only with difficulty in the prior art, also can be used, and thus the emulsion has an excellent stability over a wide temperature range. The use of the organic silicone resin as the oil phase component in the W/O type emulsion of the present invention, ensures that the emulsion has a good water resistance and water repellency, and therefore, is able to store a substance to be maintained on the skin for a long period such as a drug, UV-ray absorber, humectant, etc. The W/O type emulsion of the present invention having these great advantages can be widely utilized in fields such as cosmetics or pharmaceuticals, by making use of the specific features thereof.
According to the third aspect of the present invention, by controlling the amounts of the polyoxyalkylene modified organopolysiloxane, the waterswellable clay mineral and the quaternary ammonium salt type cationic surfactant or the ratio of the inner phase (aqueous phase), the viscosity can be controlled without the formulation of a solidifying agent such as wax, etc., and by using a silicone oil, which could be formulated only with difficulty in the prior art, the inner phase can be a region bridging the region with water as the main component and the region with a polyhydric alcohol as the main component, and the composition also has an excellent storage stability over a wide temperature range. Further, the emulsified composition of the present invention suffers little change in viscosity due to temperature changes and has a high water repellency when coated on the skin; different from the case when thickened with a wax, etc. The water- and polyhydric alcohol-in-oil type emulsified composition having these great advantages can be widely utilized in the fields of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, paints, etc., by making use of the specific features thereof. For the water-swellable clay mineral and the quaternary ammonium salt type cationic surfactant in the emulsion of the present invention, an organic modified mineral clay previously treated (including commercial product) also may be employed, but if a control of the viscosity by controlling the formulation ratio of the water-swellable clay mineral and the quaternary ammonium salt type cationic surfactant is desired, the application range is broader if these components are formulated separately. The method for preparing the emulsified composition of the present invention may be practiced by previously treating the water-swellable clay mineral with the quaternary ammonium salt type cationic surfactant and then formulating the oil components to effect thickening, followed by an emulsification of water and the polyhydric alcohol therein, or alternatively by adding the water-swellable clay mineral to the water and polyhydric alcohol phase to effect swelling and dispersion, followed by an emulsification by adding a homogeneous mixture prepared previously by introducing the quaternary ammonium salt type cationic surfactant and the polyoxyalkylene modified organopolysiloxane into the oil phase.
