FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a fine dispersion composition of wax which is excellent in stability and is favorable in safety (i.e., less skin irritation) in particular and relates to a hair cosmetic preparation comprising the same, an improvement of a feel of use, and a glazing agent.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART

Wax is an oily component which is solid or semisolid in ordinary temperature and is widely used in the field of cosmetic, glazing agent and paint, because its film has water repellency.

For example, some wax are used as a base in the case where these wax are used for a cosmetic. However, such cosmetic sometimes causes stickiness and glaringness in a coated portion. Accordingly, wax is largely used as various kinds of emulsions.

<Manufacturing Process>

Nonionic surfactant and amphoteric surfactant were dissolved into ion-exchanged water and the mixture was heated up to 80 to 90°C. Then, candelilla wax was added to the mixture and stirred with a propeller stirrer for 1 hour. A composition was obtained by cooling down the mixture with ice.

<Result>

As is clear from TABLE 1, each emulsified compositions had a tendency to became cloudy and its stability was not favorable in the case where cationic, anionic, nonionic, and amphoteric surfactant were used in separately (Test Examples 1 to 4). Also, the tendency to becoming cloudy and instability was the same as in the case where cationic or anionic surfactant and nonionic surfactant were combined (Test Examples 5 and 6) or where cationic or anionic surfactant and amphoteric surfactant were combined (Test Examples 8 and 9).

However, external appearance of the emulsified composition became transparent in the case where nonionic surfactant and amphoteric surfactant were combined (Test Example 7). Accordingly, this indicates that a fine dispersion composition of wax was obtained.

As a result of the measurement by dynamic light scattering method, a particle diameters of this fine dispersion composition was about 30 nm.

Study of Nonionic Surfactant

Next, the present inventors studied about optimum HLB of nonionic surfactant.

Namely, the following composition was used as basic prescription. Emulsification conditions were studied with changing HLB of nonionic surfactants. <tables id="tabl0002" num="0002"><table frame="all"><tgroup cols="2" colsep="1" rowsep="0"><colspec colnum="1" colname="col1" colwidth="78.75mm" /><colspec colnum="2" colname="col2" colwidth="78.75mm" /><thead valign="top"><row rowsep="1"><entry namest="col1" nameend="col2" align="left">&lt;Basic Prescription 1&gt;</entry></row></thead><tbody valign="top"><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Candelilla wax</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="right">10%</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Amide betaine amphoteric surfactant</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="right">5%</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Nonionic surfactant</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="right">10%</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Ion-exchanged water</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="right">Balance</entry></row><row rowsep="1"><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">   Total</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="right">100%</entry></row></tbody></tgroup></table></tables>

As is clear from TABLE 2, a uniform emulsion system could be formed in the case where HLB of nonionic surfactant was 6 to 15 in the condition that a weight ratio of amphoteric surfactant/(amphoteric surfactant+nonionic surfactant) was about 0.33 or 0.1. In particular, a semitransparent or transparent liquid phase could be formed in the case where HLB of nonionic surfactant was 7 to 14.

Accordingly, in the fine dispersion composition of wax in accordance with the present invention, HLB of nonionic surfactant is preferably 6 to 15, and more preferably 7 to 14 so as to obtain a transparent or transparent system.

Next, the present inventors studied about the types and dispersion condition of nonionic surfactants. The results in the composition of Basic Prescription 1 will be shown in the following. <tables id="tabl0005" num="0005"><img file="EP0868898A1_D0013.tif" /></tables><tables id="tabl0006" num="0006"><img file="EP0868898A1_D0014.tif" /></tables>

In TABLE 3, ○ means the condition that is formed a transparent liquid phase. Δ and × represents the conditions of semitransparent or creamlike and separation, respectively.

As is clear from TABLE 3, in the condition that Basic Prescription 1, i.e., the weight ratio of amphoteric surfactant/(amphoteric surfactant+nonionic surfactant) was about 0.33, a transparent liquid phase could be formed when HLB of nonionic surfactant was about 9 to 11, in the case where various nonionic surfactants were separately used.

Next, as to the types and dispersion conditions of nonionic surfactants, the results in the composition of Basic Prescription 2 will be shown in the following. <tables id="tabl0007" num="0007"><img file="EP0868898A1_D0015.tif" /></tables><tables id="tabl0008" num="0008"><img file="EP0868898A1_D0016.tif" /></tables>

In TABLE 4, ○ means the condition that is formed a transparent liquid phase. Δ and × represents the conditions of semitransparent or creamlike and separation, respectively.

As is clear from TABLE 4, in the condition that Basic Prescription 2, i.e., the weight ratio of amphoteric surfactant/(amphoteric surfactant+nonionic surfactant) was about 0.1, a transparent liquid phase could be formed when HLB of nonionic surfactant was about 12 to 13, in the case where various nonionic surfactants were separately used.

Accordingly, in summing up TABLE 3 and 4, though the optimum HLB value of nonionic surfactant is different according to the weight ratio of surfactant, the optimum HLB value is about 6 to 15.

Also, in consideration of TABLE 2, two or more nonionic surfactants can be used with combining. HLB value in this case depends on a weighted average.

Further, the present inventors studied about POE cholesteryl, POE glyceryl, POE hydrogenated castor oil, and the like. However, it was difficult to prepare a transparent liquid phase in the case where these multi chain nonionic surfactants were used separately. As a matter of course, even in these multi chain nonionic surfactants, it is possible to obtain a preferable dispersion system by combining with the other nonionic surfactant. In particular, POE straight or branched chain fatty acid ether can be used in favorable.

Correlation between Amphoteric Surfactant and Nonionic Surfactant

Next, the present inventors studied about correlation between amphoteric surfactant and nonionic surfactant.

Namely, wax dispersion system was prepared with changing a compounding ratio and an amount of amide betaine amphoteric surfactant (Trade name Rebon 2000SF) and nonionic surfactant (POE (10) behenyl ether) according to Basic Prescription 3 shown in the following. <tables id="tabl0009" num="0009"><table frame="all"><tgroup cols="2" colsep="1" rowsep="0"><colspec colnum="1" colname="col1" colwidth="78.75mm" /><colspec colnum="2" colname="col2" colwidth="78.75mm" /><thead valign="top"><row rowsep="1"><entry namest="col1" nameend="col2" align="left">&lt;Basic Prescription 3&gt;</entry></row></thead><tbody valign="top"><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Carnauba wax</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="right">10%</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Amide betaine amphoteric surfactant</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="right">X%</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Nonionic surfactant</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="right">Y%</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Ion- exchanged water</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="right">Balance</entry></row><row rowsep="1"><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">   Total</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="right">100%</entry></row></tbody></tgroup></table></tables>

These results are shown in Fig. 1.

As is clear from Fig. 1, an extremely favorable ratio of surfactant=amphoteric surfactant/(amphoteric surfactant+nonionic surfactant) existed in the vicinity of 0.3, in the case where POE (10) behenyl ether of HLB 9 was used as the nonionic surfactant. However, the range of its ratio had a tendency to broaden with an increase of the amount of (amphoteric surfactant+nonionic surfactant).

The preferable ratios of surfactants are different according to the change of HLB value of nonionic surfactants as a matter of course. Then, the results which used POE (20) behenyl ether of HLB 13 as the nonionic surfactant with the same composition as like Fig. 1 are shown in Fig. 2.

As is clear from Fig. 2, an extremely favorable ratio of surfactant=amphoteric surfactant/(amphoteric surfactant+nonionic surfactant) existed in the vicinity of 0.1, in the case where POE (20) behenyl ether of HLB 13 was used as the nonionic surfactant. However, the range of the preferable ratio was about 0.04 to 0.17.

Also, the results in the cases where POE (<b>15</b>) behenyl ether of HLB 12 and POE (30) behenyl ether of HLB 15 were used as the nonionic surfactant are shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, respectively.

As is clear from the above-mentioned results, though a favorable ratios of surfactant = amphoteric surfactant / ( amphoteric surfactant + nonionic surfactant ) are different according to HLB of the nonionic surfactant, the favorable ratios of surfactant is preferably about 0.03 to 0.5. In the case where the ratio of the surfactant is less than 0.03, temperature stability is spoiled since contribution of nonionic surfactant to system is enlarged. On the contrary, a fine dispersion composition of wax is difficult to obtain in the case where the ratio of surfactant is more than 0.5.

Next, the present inventors studied about safety and stability.

Safety

Safety was evaluated from ovalbumin degenerating rate.

<Testing method>

Safety was measured by using 220 nm absorption peak of ovalbumin degenerating rate in the case where a sample was added to ovalbumin pH buffering solvent so as that a concentration of the sample could be 1%, with using a water HPLC.<maths id="math0003"><math display="block"><mrow><mtext>{(Ho-Hs)/Ho} × 100</mtext></mrow></math><img file="EP0868898A1_D0017.tif" /></maths><dl id="dl0001" compact="compact"><dt>Ho :</dt><dd>Highness of 220 nm absorption peak of ovalbumin</dd><dt>Hs :</dt><dd>Evaluation of highness of 220 nm absorption peak in the case where the sample was added to ovalbumin buffering solvent was conducted according to the following evaluation standard.</dd></dl><dl id="dl0002" compact="compact"><dt>ⓞ</dt><dd>Little skin irritation- less than 30% of ovalbumin degenerating rate</dd><dt>○</dt><dd>A little skin irritation-30% or more and less than 60% of ovalbumin degenerating rate</dd><dt>Δ</dt><dd>Moderate skin irritation-60% or more and less than 80% of ovalbumin degenerating rate</dd><dt>×</dt><dd>Strong skin irritation-80% or more of ovalbumin degenerating rate</dd></dl>

As a result, skin irritation of a combination of the amphoteric surfactant and the nonionic surfactant is the same level with that of the nonionic surfactant and has high safety. Accordingly, a fine dispersion composition of wax which use together with the amphoteric surfactant has high safety.

As is clear from TABLE 6, stability with time was spoiled in the cases where nonionic surfactant only was used and the weight ratio of surfactant (prescribed in above) was less than 0.03.

On the contrary, stability was favorable in the cases where amphoteric surfactant and nonionic surfactant was combined with a favorable surfactant ratio.

Next, the present inventors studied about polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene alkyl ether as a nonionic surfactant.

<Manufacturing Process>

Nonionic surfactant and amphoteric surfactant were dissolved into ion-exchanged water and the mixture was heated up to 80 to 90°C. Then, candelilla wax was added to the mixture and stirred with a propeller stirrer for 1 hour. A composition was obtained by cooling down the mixture with ice.

<Result>

As is clear from TABLE 7, each emulsified compositions had a tendency to became cloudy and its stability was not favorable in the case where cationic, anionic, nonionic, and amphoteric surfactant were used in separately (Test Examples 10 to 13). Also, the tendency to becoming cloudy and instability was the same as in the case where cationic or anionic surfactant and nonionic surfactant were combined (Test Examples 14 and 15) or where cationic or anionic surfactant and amphoteric surfactant were combined (Test Examples 17 and 18).

However, external appearance of the emulsified composition became transparent in the case where nonionic surfactant and amphoteric surfactant were combined (Test Example 16). Accordingly, this indicates that a fine dispersion composition of wax was obtained.

As a result of the measurement by dynamic light scattering method, a particle diameters of this fine dispersion composition was about 30 nm.

Study of Nonionic Surfactant

Next, the present inventors studied about optimum HLB of nonionic surfactant.

Namely, the following composition was used as basic prescription. Emulsification conditions were studied with changing HLB of nonionic surfactants. <tables id="tabl0014" num="0014"><table frame="all"><tgroup cols="2" colsep="1" rowsep="0"><colspec colnum="1" colname="col1" colwidth="78.75mm" /><colspec colnum="2" colname="col2" colwidth="78.75mm" /><thead valign="top"><row rowsep="1"><entry namest="col1" nameend="col2" align="left">&lt;Basic Prescription 5&gt;</entry></row></thead><tbody valign="top"><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Carnauba wax</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="center">10%</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Amide betaine amphoteric surfactant</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="center">6%</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Nonionic surfactant</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="center">9%</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Ion- exchanged water</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="center">Balance</entry></row><row rowsep="1"><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">   Total</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="center">100%</entry></row></tbody></tgroup></table></tables>

As is clear from TABLE 8, a uniform emulsion system could be formed in the case where HLB of nonionic surfactant was 5 to 15 in the condition that a weight ratio of amphoteric surfactant/(amphoteric surfactant+nonionic surfactant) was about 0.05 or 0.4. In particular, a semitransparent or transparent liquid phase could be formed in the case where HLB of nonionic surfactant was 6 to 14.

Accordingly, in the fine dispersion composition of wax in accordance with the present invention, HLB of nonionic surfactant is preferably 5 to 15, and more preferably 6 to 14 so as to obtain a transparent or transparent system.

Further, the present inventors studied about POE cholesteryl, POE glyceryl, POE hydrogenated castor oil, and the like. However, it was difficult to prepare a transparent liquid phase in the case where these multi chain nonionic surfactants were used separately. As a matter of course, even in these multi chain nonionic surfactants, it is possible to obtain a preferable dispersion system by combining with the other nonionic surfactant. In particular, POE straight or branched chain fatty acid ether can be used in favorable.

Correlation between Amphoteric Surfactant and Nonionic Surfactant

Next, the present inventors studied about correlation between amphoteric surfactant and nonionic surfactant.

Namely, wax dispersion system was prepared with changing a compounding ratio and an amount of amide betaine amphoteric surfactant (Trade name Rebon 2000SF) and nonionic surfactant (POE (10) POP (1) behenyl ether) according to the Basic Prescription shown in the following. <tables id="tabl0019" num="0019"><table frame="all"><tgroup cols="2" colsep="1" rowsep="0"><colspec colnum="1" colname="col1" colwidth="78.75mm" /><colspec colnum="2" colname="col2" colwidth="78.75mm" /><thead valign="top"><row rowsep="1"><entry namest="col1" nameend="col2" align="left">&lt;Basic Prescription 9&gt;</entry></row></thead><tbody valign="top"><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Carnauba wax</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="center">10%</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Amide betaine amphoteric surfactant</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="center">X%</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Nonionic surfactant</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="center">Y%</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Ion-exchanged water</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="center">Balance</entry></row><row rowsep="1"><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">   Total</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="center">100%</entry></row></tbody></tgroup></table></tables>

These results are shown in Fig. 5.

As is clear from Fig. 5, an extremely favorable ratio of surfactant=amphoteric surfactant/(amphoteric surfactant+nonionic surfactant) existed in the vicinity of 0.3, in the case where POE (10) POP (1) behenyl ether of HLB 8 was used as the nonionic surfactant. However, the range of its ratio had a tendency to broaden with an increase of the amount of (amphoteric surfactant+nonionic surfactant).

The preferable ratios of surfactants are different according to the change of HLB value of nonionic surfactants as a matter of course. Then, the results which used POE (7) POP (1) behenyl ether of HLB 6 as the nonionic surfactant with the same composition as like Fig. 5 are shown in Fig. 6.

As is clear from Fig. 6, an extremely favorable ratio of surfactant=amphoteric surfactant/(amphoteric surfactant+nonionic surfactant) existed in the vicinity of 0.35, in the case where POE (7) POP (1) behenyl ether of HLB 6 was used as the nonionic surfactant. However, the range of the preferable ratio was about 0.25 to 0.45.

Also, the results which used POE (15) POP (1) behenyl ether of HLB 10 as the nonionic surfactant with the same composition as like Fig. 5 are shown in Fig. 7.

As is clear from Fig. 7, an extremely favorable ratio of surfactant=amphoteric surfactant/(amphoteric surfactant+nonionic surfactant) existed in the vicinity of 0.13, in the case where POE (15) POP (1) behenyl ether of HLB 10 was used as the nonionic surfactant. However, the range of the preferable ratio was about 0.05 to 0.25.

Also, the results in the cases where POE (20) POP (1) behenyl ether of HLB 12 and POE (30) POP (1) behenyl ether of HLB 14 were used as the nonionic surfactant are shown in Fig. 8 and Fig. 9, respectively.

As is clear from the above-mentioned results, though a favorable ratios of surfactant = amphoteric surfactant / ( amphoteric surfactant + nonionic surfactant ) are different according to HLB of the nonionic surfactant, the favorable ratios of surfactant is preferably about 0.03 to 0.5. In the case where the ratio of the surfactant is less than 0.03, temperature stability is spoiled since contribution of nonionic surfactant to system is enlarged. On the contrary, a fine dispersion composition of wax is difficult to obtain in the case where the ratio of surfactant is more than 0.5.

Next, the present inventors studied about safety and stability.

As a result, skin irritation of a combination of the amphoteric surfactant and the nonionic surfactant is the same level with that of the nonionic surfactant and has high safety. Accordingly, a fine dispersion composition of wax which use together with the amphoteric surfactant has high safety.

As is clear from TABLE 10, stability with time was spoiled in the cases where nonionic surfactant only was used and the weight ratio of surfactant (prescribed in above) was less than 0.03.

On the contrary, stability was favorable in the cases where amphoteric surfactant and nonionic surfactant was combined with a favorable surfactant ratio.

Preparation of Fine Dispersion Composition of Wax

A fine dispersion composition of wax of the present invention can be obtained by a preparation of microemulsion. As an example of the preparation of microemulsion, Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei 6-61454 and Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei 6-57316 are listed. An oily ultrafine particle of liquid is prepared by these techniques described in said publications. However, ultrafine particle of solid wax as like the present invention also can be prepared by using these techniques.

Namely, said fine dispersion composition of the present invention can be prepared by cooling down the system after heating the system higher than the melting point of the wax and within the solubilization critical temperature of the system.

A fine dispersion composition of wax of the present invention can be prepared by using an emulsifier which can give a strong shearing force such as a high-pressure homogenizer or mechanical force such as an ultrasonic emulsifier. It is preferable to emulsify the composition under the conditions over 400 atm, and more preferably, under the conditions over 600 atm and lower than 50°C.

On the contrary, in the case where the amount is more than 5 wt%, it is difficult to compound in solubility and bad odor is occurred.

(C)Keratin Decomposition Derivatives

A keratin decomposition derivatives used in the present invention is manufactured by hydrolyzing keratin or by making alkali salt after oxidative destruction keratin. The keratin decomposition derivatives used in the present invention is also manufactured by the process in the following. After reduction destruction keratin, its derivative is made by chemical modifying of thiol group. Then, alkali salt is prepared.

As an examples of keratin, for example, animal hair, hair, feather, nail, horn, hoof, scale, and the like are listed. Among these, sheep wool, hair, and feather are preferable in particular. These keratin can be used directly to oxidizing or reducing reaction. Also, these keratin can be conducted a pretreatment such as cutting or grinding to proper size, washing, degreasing and the like, as occasion demands.

Decomposition of keratin is conducted by one of these processes shown in the following.

(1)Hydrolyzing Reaction

①Hydrolysis by Acid

As an examples of acid, an inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, hydrogen bromide, and the like, and an organic acids such as formic acid, oxalic acid, and the like. These acids can be used with 3 to 85% concentration in general. However, it is desirable that the hydrolysis is always reacted under pH 4. Reaction temperature is preferably 40 to 100°C and can be risen up to 160 °C under pressure. Reaction time is preferably 2 to 24 hours. A reactor which is neutralized with alkali such as sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, ammonium and the like, can be used directly. Further, the reactor can be used by purifying the reaction product by gel filtration, ion-exchanged resin, and the like.

Thus obtained acid hydrolyzate can obtain favorable result as compared with the alkali hydrolyzate, since polypeptide chain of keratin is not changed, excluding hydrolyzing, in the acid hydrolyzing.

②Hydrolysis by Alkali

As an examples of alkali, an inorganic alkalis such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, barium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, lithium carbonate, sodium silicate, borax, and the like can be used. These alkalis are suitable within the concentration 1 to 20% in general. It is not preferable to use alkali more than need, since color phase of hydrolyzate solution becomes brown to black. Reaction is preferably conducted under the temperature within room temperature to 100°C and for 30 minutes to 24 hours. It is necessary not to rise the temperature more than need and not to extend the reaction time. Hydrolysis by alkali has an advantage that the progress condition of the reaction is visible, since hydrolyzate of keratin are dissolved with the progress of reaction. Reaction is ended at the time that reaction mixture becomes uniform solution.

③Hydrolyzing by Enzyme

As for enzyme, acidic proteases such as pepsin, protease A, protease B and the like, and neutral proteases such as papain, bromelain, thermolysin, trypsin, pronase, chymotrypsin, and the like are used. It is desirable that the pH value at hydrolyzing is adjusted within pH from 1 to 3 in the case where acidic protease such as pepsin is used and within pH from 5 to 8 in the case where neutral protease such as papain is used. It is convenient that the pH value is suitably adjusted by a buffering solution such as ammonium acetate/ammonia buffering solution, phosphoric acid buffering solution, and the like in general. Desirable reaction temperature is 30 to 45°C and suitable reaction time is 3 to 24 hours, in general.

A molecular weight of the hydrolyzate is largely influenced by a using amount of enzyme, reaction temperature, and reaction time in hydrolyzing reaction by enzyme. Accordingly, it is necessary to determine the optimum condition about the using amount of enzyme, reaction temperature and reaction time with experimentally by examining a molecular-weight distribution of the obtained hydrolyzate by gel filtration technique.

The hydrolyzate by enzyme is preferable for compounding to a cosmetic, since hydrolyzate by enzyme has narrow molecular-weight distribution and is rarely form a free amino acid as compared with the hydrolyzate by acid and alkali.

It is desirable that an average molecular weight of the hydrolyzate which is obtained by the above- mentioned hydrolyzing reaction is 200 or more and 5000 or less. Because, adsorptivity of the keratin decomposition to a hair is determined by its molecular weight. The keratin decomposition which has about 1000 molecular weight are most ready to adsorb to a hair, and the keratin decomposition which has more than 5000 molecular weight are rarely adsorb to a hair. Also, it is preferable that as much as possible of many disulfide bond in keratin decomposition derivatives are existed. It is necessary to use the keratin which has high purity and to conduct hydrolyzing reaction under mild conditions.

(2) Oxidative decomposition reaction

Oxidation of keratin is conducted by the various known methods (N.H.Leon ; Textile Progress, Volume 7, Page 1 (1975)). As for an oxidizer, organic or inorganic oxidizers which can electrophilically functions to disulfide bond (S-S bond, mentioned in the following) of keratin construction are preferable. For example, organic acid peroxide, inorganic peroxytho add or its salt, permanganic acid or its salt, chromic acid or its related compounds, halogen, peroxide, oxyacid or its salt, and the like are exemplified. Among these oxidizers, peracetic acid, performic add, and perbenzoic acid are preferable in particular.

Oxidizing reaction is conducted in liquid solvent by using excess amount of the oxidizer to the S-S bonds in the keratin, i.e., twice or more equivalent weight of the oxidizer, and more preferably 4 to 10 times equivalent weight of the oxidizer with respect to 1 of the S-S bond, in general. Though reaction can be done either the conditions of acidity or alkalinity, it is preferable to react under acidic condition, and in particular, to react under weak acidic condition. The conditions such as reaction temperature and pressure are different according to the kinds of the oxidizer and keratin which are used, and are not limited in particular. Though reaction temperature is sufficient with room temperature in general, the temperature can be risen as occasion demands. Also, though pressure is enough with normal pressure, the reaction can be conducted under reduced pressure or pressurization.

Thus, S-S bonds of the keratin are cloven and sulfonic acid (-SOH₃) is formed.

(3) Reducing Decomposition and Chemical Modifying Reaction

As for a reducing agents used for reducing the keratin, a reducing agent which gives thiol group (-SH) by cleaving S-S bonds in its structure or an organic or inorganic reducing agent which nucleophilically functions to S-S bond are preferable in general.

As an examples of the reducing agents, organic reducing agents such as mercaptoethanol, thioglycolic acid, benzyl mercaptan, 1,4-dithiothreitol, tributylphosphine, and the like, and inorganic reducing agents such as sulfides, e.g., sodium hydrogen sulfite, and the like, and metal hydrides e.g., lithium aluminium hydride are listed.

An amount of the reducing agent is used twice to 10 times equivalent to S-S bonds in the keratin, in general. The pH value reaction system is within the range of 2 to 12, and in particular within the range of 6 to 11. It is not preferable in the case where the pH value is not within this range, since hydrolyzing is reacted at the same time. Though reaction temperature is sufficient with room temperature, reaction time can be shortened by heating. Reaction time is required for 2 to 3 hours or more in general. Also, it is necessary that thiol group which formed by this reduction is not oxidized. Further, a good results can be obtained by operating under the atmosphere of inactive gas.

Thus obtained reducing decompositions made its derivatives (keratin reducing derivatives mentioned in the following) by chemical modifying thiol group of the reducing decompositions. As for the derivatives of the thiol group, the derivatives listed in the following are exemplified.         -SCH₂COOH         -SCH₂CH₂COOH <chemistry id="chem0011" num="0011"><img file="EP0868898A1_D0018.tif" /></chemistry><chemistry id="chem0012" num="0012"><img file="EP0868898A1_D0019.tif" /></chemistry><chemistry id="chem0013" num="0013"><img file="EP0868898A1_D0020.tif" /></chemistry>         -SO₃H         -SSO₃H         -SCH₂CH₂SO₃H <chemistry id="chem0014" num="0014"><img file="EP0868898A1_D0021.tif" /></chemistry><chemistry id="chem0015" num="0015"><img file="EP0868898A1_D0022.tif" /></chemistry>         - SCH₂CH₂SO₂CH₂COOH

Among these derivatives,         -SCH₂COOH and, <chemistry id="chem0016" num="0016"><img file="EP0868898A1_D0023.tif" /></chemistry> are preferable in particular.

Chemical modification method of thiol group is conducted according to the know method, e.g., N.H. Leon; Textile Progress, Volume 7, Page 1 (1975), "Organic Sulfuric Compound" written by Shigeru OHBA, published by Kagaku Dojin (1986), and " Polymer Experimental Course" written by Masami OKU, published by Kyoritsu Shuppan (1975). As for the representative methods, the methods shown in the following exists.

As for a oxidizer used for this reaction, for example, halogen and permanganate are exemplified.

As for alkali salt of oxidative decomposition and reducing derivative of the keratins, inorganic alkali metallic salts such as sodium, potassium and the like, or salts of organic base such as ammonium salt, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, 2-amino-2-methylpropanol, amino mercaptopropanediol, triisopropanolamine, glycin, histidine, arginine, and the like are listed. Though these alkali salts can be compounded to a hair treatment agent by preparing another system, it is possible to form salt in the system which compounds oxidative decompositions of keratin or reducing derivatives of keratin and alkali materials. As for the alkali materials in this case, for example, inorganic alkali materials such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, and the like, and organic alkali materials such as ammonia, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanol-amine, 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol, 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, 2-amino-1-butanol, triisopropanolamine, diisopropanolamine, monoisopropanolamine, arginine, histidine, hydroxylysine, and the like are listed. These materials are preferable to be compounded with 0.1 to 8 equivalent weight with respect to a carboxyl group or a sulfonic group in keratin oxidative decomposition or keratin reducing derivative.

Thus obtained keratin decomposition derivatives can be used separately or by mixing two or more for a hair cosmetic preparation of the present invention.

A preferable amount of the keratin decomposition derivative used in the present invention is 0.001 to 5 wt%, and more preferably 0.01 to 3 wt%.

Accordingly, silylated peptide can improve a touch of the damaged hair and can contribute to recover the damaged hair.

Accordingly, said silylated peptide gives glossiness or brightness to a hair, makes a hair smooth, improves an easiness of hair combing, prevents a creation of a split hair and a lobed hair and recovering strength of a damaged hair, in the case where a hair cosmetic preparation was manufactured with compounding this silylated peptide.

Also, the silylated peptide represented by Formula (1) or (2) is that low molecular weight silyl functional group is bonded to the peptide portion and is absorbed to a hair with a normal sorption mechanism. Accordingly, the silylated peptide can be reversibly desorbed from a hair by washing with a washing agent which is not comprised peptide.

In the silylated peptide represented by Formula (1) or (2), the reason why R¹, R², R³ was predetermined is that the silylated peptide represented by Formula (1) or (2) has water solubility and is to maintain a favorable preservation stability in water- soluble hair cosmetic preparation. Also, the reason why a is predetermined to 1 or 3 is that a preservation stability of the silylated compound represented by Formula (3) and (5) was bad in the case where a was 2. Also, in the case where a was more than 3, the property of the silyl functional group could not be sufficiently displayed, since the percentage of the silyl functional group in the whole molecular became small.

Peptide Portion in Silylated Peptide

In the silylated peptide represented by Formula (1) or (2), though R⁴ is a residue excluding an amino group of basic amino acid having the terminal amino group of side chain. As for the amino add having the amino group in the terminal of side chain, for example, lysine, arginine, hydroxylysine, and the like are listed. Also, R⁵ shows a side chain of amino acid excluding R⁴. As an examples of such amino acids, for example, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, alanine, serine, threonine, valine, methionine, leucine, isoleucine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, proline, hydroxyproline, and the like are listed. In the silylated peptide represented by Formula (1) or (2), m is 0 to 200 and preferably, 0 &lt; m ≦ 50, and more preferably, 0&lt; m ≦ 10. Also, n is 0 to 200, and preferably 1 to 100, and more preferably, 2 to 40. Also, m+n is 1 to 200, and preferably 2 to 100, and more preferably, 3 to 50. These reasons are explained in the following.

In the case where the value of m is more than 200, silyl functional carbon which bonds to the amino group of side chain is increased and sorption effect to a hair of the peptide is decreased. Also, in the case where the value of n is more than 200, the property of silyl functional group portion can not be sufficiently displayed, since the percentage of silyl functional group portion becomes small. Further, in the case where the value of m+n is more than 200, preservation stability is decreased because the property of the peptide such as sorption or penetration to a hair is decreased as compared with the low molecular weight peptide and the peptide becomes easy to aggregate in preservation.

Though the value of m, n, or m+n are an integer in theory, a measured value becomes an average value in the case where the peptide portion is the hydrolyzed peptide as mentioned in the following, because said peptide is obtained as a mixture which has different molecular weight.

As an examples of the peptide represented by Formula (4), amino acid, peptide, alanine of amino acid or peptide, glycin, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, tyrosine, serine, threonine, methionine, arginine, histidine, lysine, asparagine, aspartic acid, glutamine glutamic acid, cystine, cysteine, cysteic acid, tryptophan, hydroxyproline, O-phosphoserine, citrulline, and the like are listed.

The peptide listed above are the hydrolyzed peptide which can be obtained by partially hydrolyzing natural peptides, synthetic peptides and proteins with acid, alkali or enzyme.

As an examples of natural peptides, for example, glutathione, bacitracin A, insulin, glucagon, oxytocin, vasopressin, and the like are listed. Also, as an examples of synthetic peptides, for example, polyglycine, polylysine, polyglutamic acid, polyserine, and the like are listed.

As an examples of hydrolyzed peptide, the hydrolyzed peptides which are obtained by partially hydrolyzing proteins derived from animals and vegetables such as collagen (including gelatine which is the denaturation of collagen), keratin, silk fibroin, sericin, casein, conchiolin, elastin, vitelline protein of egg such as fowl, duck and the like, ovalbumin protein, soybean protein, wheat protein, corn protein, rice (rice bran) protein, potato protein, and the like and proteins derived from microbes such as yeast of <i>Saccharomyces, Candida, Endomycoptis,</i> yeast protein decomposed from a so-called brewer's yeast and sake yeast, proteins extracted from mushrooms, proteins separated from <i>Chlorella</i>,, and the like, with acid, alkali or enzyme are listed.

As a reaction of the silylated compound represented by Formula (3) or Formula (5) with the peptides represented by Formula (4), for example, the silylated compound was firstly hydrolyzed for 5 to 20 minutes at 30 to 50°C in water. Then, an alkoxy group or a halogen atom which bonds with silicon atom is transformed to a hydroxyl group. Both are contacted by dripping the silylated compound which was hydroxylated, down to the solution of the peptide represented by Formula (4).

In said reaction, the peptide is preferably 30 to 50 wt% solution. Also, drip of the silylated compound which was hydroxylated was ended up within the time of 30 minutes to 5 hours.

It is preferable to maintain the pH value in reaction system to 8 to 11, and more preferably 9 to 10 with dripping alkali solution such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and the like in the same time with reaction. Because the pH value after the reaction was decreased by formation of hydrogen halide with reaction at the reaction time in the case where the silylated compound represented by Formula (3) was used. Also, the pH value was not decreased by reaction, in the case where the silylated compound represented by Formula (5) was used. However, pH of the peptide solution is preferably adjusted to 8 to 11, and more preferably, 9 to 11, since reaction proceeds with basicity.

Though reaction can proceeds under ordinary temperature, the more temperature rises high, the more reaction rate becomes fast. However, it is preferable to adjust to 70°C or less and more preferably 40 to 60°C, because the hydrolysis of the silylated compound is accelerated in the case where temperature becomes high under the condition of high pH value.

The progress and the termination of reaction can be confirmed by measuring the amount of amino nitrogen of the peptide in reaction according to Van Slyke method.

After the reaction, the reaction solution was neutralized and properly concentrated. Then the reaction solution was prepared with ion-exchanged resin, dialysis membrane, electrodialysis, gel filtration and ultrafiltration, and was provided for preparing a hair cosmetic in liquid or by powdering.

In the silylated peptide represented in said Formula (1), an introduction rate of silyl functional group (i.e., a functional group comprising only one of silicon atom) to an amino group of the peptide is preferably 50% to 85%. There is a possibility that the property based on the silylated compound is not fully displayed, in the case where the introduction rate of silyl functional group is less than 50%. Also, there is a possibilities that hydrophobic nature is increased and hydrophilic nature is decreased, in the case where the introduction rate is more than 85%.

Also, in the silylated peptide represented in said Formula (2), an introduction rate of silyl functional group to an amino group of the peptide is preferably 50% to 75%. There is a possibility that the property based on the silylated compound is not fully displayed, in the case where the introduction rate of silyl functional group is less than 50%. Also, there is a possibilities that hydrophobic nature is increased and hydrophilic nature is decreased, in the case where the introduction rate is more than 75%.

Also, an amount (content in hair cosmetic preparation) of the silylated peptide represented by Formula (1) or (4), is preferably 0.05 to 30 wt%, and more preferably 0.5 to 15 wt%. Namely, the effects for giving glossiness or moisture to a hair, protecting a hair, improving an easiness of hair combing and emulsion stability of high molecular silicone, are not sufficiently displayed in the case where the amount of the silylated peptide is less than 0.05 wt%. Also, an increase of the effect which is correspond to the increase of the amount is not observed in the case where the amount of the silylated peptide is more than 30 wt%. Further, stickiness is occurred in the case where the amount of the silylated peptide is extremely increased. In compounding to a hair cosmetic preparation, said silylated peptide can be used separately and by mixing two or more.

An emulsified composition comprising polyether compound that propylene oxide and/or ethylene oxide is addition-polymerized to nucleus of polyhydric alcohol which is the second part of an oil-in-water hair cosmetic preparation of the present invention will be explained.

An oil-in-water emulsified composition of polyether compound that propylene oxide and/or ethylene oxide is addition-polymerized to nucleus of polyhydric alcohol can be used the composition which was prepared by ordinary method. Also, in considering skin irritation as like a fine dispersion composition of wax, a complex which can be obtained by mixing amphoteric surfactant and/or semi-polar surfactant and higher fatty acid as shown in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Hei 6-65596, can be used.

Polyether Compound that Propylene Oxide and/or Ethylene Oxide is Additionally Polymerized to Nucleus of Polyhydric Alcohol

A polyether compound used in the present invention is the polyether compound that propylene oxide and/or ethylene oxide is addition-polymerized to nucleus of polyhydric alcohol. In this invention, a preferable polyether compound group is (1) the polyether compound that 1 to 10 mol, preferably 3 to 7 mol of ethylene oxide (EO mentioned in the following) is additionally polymerized to the backbone chain which additionally polymerized 20 to 90 mol, and preferably 50 to 70 mol of propylene oxide (PO mentioned in the following) to the nucleus of the polyhydric alcohols which has a functional group having 3 to 6 of terminal hydroxyl group such as glycerin, diglycerine, pentaerythritol, trimethylolpropane, mannitane, sorbitan, mannitol and sorbitol.

Among these compounds, it is preferable that 40 to 80 mol of PO and 3 to 10 mol of EO is additionally polymerized to the nucleus of pentaerythritol in succession.

In the polyether compound group of (1) , the nucleus of the polyhydric alcohol is used by the reason which aims to increase the PO addition portion to 3-6. Also, it was selected for the purpose of increasing polarity without losing suitable oiliness. However, as a result of study, the polarity region which can sufficiently solve hair washness and a factor of adhesion of dirt cannot be obtained with only PO additional polymerization. Accordingly, additional polymerization of EO having limited mol number is required. A limited mol number of EO, namely 1 to 10 mol of EO is determined since celluloid corrosiveness is occurred in the case where mol number of EO is more than 10 mol.

Also, in the polyether compound group of (1) has molecular structure of copolymer such as block copolymer and random copolymer (comprising sandwich type). As a result of test, the compounds of block polymer is excellent in hair washness as compared with the compounds of random polymer, since terminal group of block polymer has water-solubility. This is considered that random polymer has oil solubility. Also, significance with respect to celluloid corrosiveness is not changed. The inventors studied phosphoric acid ester of polyether compound which is additionally polymerized 1 to 10 mol of EO to the backbone chain which additionally polymerized 20 to 90 mol of PO to the nucleus of the polyhydric alcohol. However, they confirmed that hair dressing retention and usability (stickiness of hand) are not preferable as compared with the polyether compounds which are used in the present invention.

Also, as for the other preferable polyether compounds, (2) a polyether compounds that 20 to 100 mol of PO or 40 to 120 mol of PO and 1 to 20 mol of EO is additionally polymerized to polyglycerines more than triglycerine, are listed.

In the polyether compounds of (2), Polyglycerine: i.e., polyglycerine mixture more than triglycerine, the polyether compound that 20 to 100 mol, preferably 40 to 80 mol of PO or 40 to 120 mol of PO and 1 to 20 mol of EO, preferably 3 to 10 mol of EO is additionally polymerized to the polyglycerine which has 5 or more of a terminal hydroxyl group. Among of these compounds, the compound that 50 to 90 mol of PO is additionally polymerized to the nucleus of decaglycerin is most preferable.

In the case where an addition of PO with respect to polyglycerine is lower mol, celluloid corrosiveness is strong. Celluloid corrosiveness is disappeared in the case where 20 mol or more of PO is added. Also, viscosity becomes moderate and viscosity of 500 to 1500 mPa/S is shown as an oily component of hair dressing agent, in need. Further, the polyether compound which can easily wash off dirt of hand with city water, and which has favorable water dispersion even in the case where 100 mol of PO is added, since 5 to 8 of polar group of terminal hydroxyl group of polyglycerine is efficiently functioned. Also, the compound has oiliness and water dispersion is inferior in the case where the optimum PO is added to polyglycerine. However, the compound which is excellent in hair dressing ability and water solubility and which has no celluloid corrosiveness can be obtained in the case where 1 to 20 mol of EO is further added to the compound. This may have the same property with the compound which was obtained by additional polymerization of PO with more than optimum mol number after adding 1 to 20 mol of EO to polyglycerine. Further, the inventors studied about phosphoric acid ester of these polyether compounds. However they confirmed that the polyether compounds is not favorable in hair dressing retention and fat-solubility (stickiness of hand) as compared with the polyether compound used in the present invention.

Also, in the polyether compound group of (2) has molecular structure of copolymer such as block copolymer and random copolymer (comprising sandwich type). As a result of test, the compounds of block polymer are excellent in hair washness as compared with the compounds of random polymer, since a terminal group of block polymer has water- solubility.

This is considered that random polymer has more oil solubility. Also, significance with respect to celluloid corrosiveness is not changed. The inventors studied phosphoric acid ester of polyether compound which additionally polymerized 1 to 10 mol of EO to the backbone chain which additionally polymerized 20 to 90 mol of PO to the nucleus of the polyhydric alcohol. However, they confirmed that hair dressing retention and usability (stickiness of hand) are not preferable as compared with the polyether compounds which are used in the present invention.

In addition to the polyether compound groups described in above, the polyether compound used in the hair cosmetic preparation of the present invention can be adopted the manufacturing process of ordinary method. For example, particulate caustic soda is mixed with polyhydric alcohol in N₂ gas. Then, PO is slowly added to the mixture under the conditions of reaction temperature of 100 to 120°C and internal pressure 5 to 7 kg/cm²G. Propylene oxide/ethylene oxide additional polymerization of polyhydric alcohol can be obtained by adding EO to the mixture. Such polyether compound is, for example, shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. Sho 55-10567.

A polyether compound that propylene oxide and/or ethylene oxide is additionally polymerized to nucleus of polyhydric alcohol used in the present invention can be used separately or by mixing two or more. An amount of said polyether compound is preferably 1 to 30 wt%. The effects of the present invention such as hair dressing power in particular, are not obtained in the case where the amount is less than 1 wt%. On the other hand, stickiness is occurred in the case where the amount is more than 30 wt%.

Also, a weight ratio of was/(polyether compound that propylene oxide and/or ethylene oxide is additionally polymerized to the nucleus of polyhydric alcohol) is preferably 0.2 to 10. An excellent feel of use of the present invention is spoiled in the case where the weight ratio is not within this range.

<Manufacturing Process of Wax Part>

The ingredients (1) to (4) were stirred about 95°C. After the mixture had transparency, the mixture was cooled down with ice and a fine dispersion composition of wax was obtained.

<Manufacturing Process of Emulsion Part>

The ingredients (1) to (4) and a part of the ingredient (5) were stirred and emulsified by a homomixer. Then, a emulsified composition was obtained by adding the rest of the ingredient (5).

<Manufacturing Process of Set Lotion>

A shake type set lotion was obtained by mixing the above-mentioned two compositions and the ingredient (3) in the ratio which is shown in TABLE 11.

As is clear from the results shown above, though Test Example 21 which did not compound wax could be obtained a little feel of use in view of less stickiness of hand, smoothness of hand combing and smoothness, it was largely inferior in hair dressing power as compared with Test Example 20. On the contrary, Test Example 19 which compounded the hydrocarbon oil and/or the ester oil was improved in all of the views such as less stickiness of hand, easiness of hand combing, smoothness, and hair dressing power. Also, it was appreciated that these effects were maintained even after 6 hours has passed.

Structure of the Emulsified Composition of the Present Invention

A hair cosmetic preparation of the present invention was obtained by mixing a fine dispersion composition of wax and an emulsified composition which comprising hydrocarbon oil and/or ester oil which were prepared separately in advance.

A composition which was almost same composition with the composition of Test Example 19 of the present invention and was prepared without dividing wax part and emulsion part, was determined as Test Example 22.

The difference between an oil-in-water hair cosmetic preparation of the present invention and Test Example 22 is explained in the following. Though emulsion particle of hydrocarbon oil and/or ester oil and dispersion particle of wax existed in separately in the present invention, both formed the same dispersion particle in the composition of Test Example 22. <tables id="tabl0024" num="0024"><table frame="all"><tgroup cols="2" colsep="1" rowsep="0"><colspec colnum="1" colname="col1" colwidth="78.75mm" /><colspec colnum="2" colname="col2" colwidth="78.75mm" /><thead valign="top"><row rowsep="1"><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Test Example 22</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" /></row></thead><tbody valign="top"><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">(1)Carnauba wax</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="char" char=".">4.5</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">(2)Polyoxyethylene behenyl ether (10EO)</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="char" char=".">3.0</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">(3)Cocoyl fatty acid amide dimethyl amino acetic acid betaine^*1</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="char" char=".">1.5</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">(4)Liquid petrolatum</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="char" char=".">28.0</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">(5)1,3-butylene glycol</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="char" char=".">3.5</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">(6)Isostearic acid^*2</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="char" char=".">0.7</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">(7)Sodium 2-undecyl-N,N,N-(hydroxyethylcarboxymethyl)-2-imidazolinium betaine^*3</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="char" char=".">3.5</entry></row><row rowsep="1"><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">(8)Ion-exchanged water</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="char" char=".">55.3</entry></row></tbody></tgroup></table></tables><tables id="tabl0025" num="0025"><table frame="all"><tgroup cols="2" colsep="1" rowsep="0"><colspec colnum="1" colname="col1" colwidth="78.75mm" /><colspec colnum="2" colname="col2" colwidth="78.75mm" /><thead valign="top"><row rowsep="1"><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Evaluation:</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" /></row></thead><tbody valign="top"><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Stickiness of hand</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="left">Δ</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Easiness of hand combing</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="left">Δ (After 6 hours -)</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Smoothness</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="left">Δ (After 6 hours -)</entry></row><row rowsep="1"><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Hair dressing power</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="left">- (After 6 hours -)</entry></row></tbody></tgroup></table></tables>

<Manufacturing Process of Test Example 22>

The ingredients (1) to (7) and a part of the ingredient (8) were mixed and stirred at 95°C and a fine dispersion composition of wax which comprised the hydrocarbon oil was obtained. Then, a set lotion was obtained by adding the rest of the ingredient (8).

As a result, it is apparent that an excellent feeling of use such as less stickiness of hand, easiness of hand combing, and smoothness can be obtained in the cases where a dispersion particle of wax and particle of hydrocarbon oil and/or ester oil are existed in separately.

Compounding Amount of Hydrocarbon Oil and/or Ester Oil

Next, the present inventors studied about a compounding amount of hydrocarbon oil and/or ester oil and a weight ratio of wax/(hydrocarbon oil and/or ester oil) by changing the compounding ratios of a fine dispersion composition of wax (wax part) and an emulsified composition comprising a hydrocarbon oil and/or an ester oil (emulsion part). <tables id="tabl0026" num="0026"><table

<Manufacturing Process of Set Lotion>

The ingredients (1) and a part of the ingredient (4) were stirred about 92°C. After the mixture had transparency, the mixture was cooled down with ice and a fine dispersion composition of wax was obtained. A set lotion was obtained by mixing the dissolution of the ingredients (5) to (7) with the rest of the ingredient (4).

A set lotion was obtained by mixing the above- mentioned two compositions and the ingredient (3) in the ratio which is shown in TABLE 13.

As is clear from the results shown above, though Test Example 32 which did not compound wax could be obtained a little feel of use in view of less stickiness of hand, smoothness of hand combing and smoothness, it was largely inferior in hair dressing power as compared with Test Example 31. On the contrary, Test Example 30 which compounded the fine dispersion composition of wax of the present invention and the phospholipid and the protein hydrolyzate was improved in all of the views such as less stickiness of hand, easiness of hand combing, smoothness, and hair dressing power. Also, it was appreciated that these effects were maintained even after 6 hours has passed.

Compounding Amount of Wax/Phospholipid and Protein or Protein Hydrolyzate and Derivatives Thereof

Next, the present inventors studied about a compounding amount of phospholipid, protein or protein hydrolyzate, and the derivatives thereof by changing the compounding amount of phospholipid, protein or protein hydrolyzate, and the derivatives thereof. <tables id="tabl0028" num="0028"><table frame="all"><title>TABLE 14</title><tgroup cols="7" colsep="1" rowsep="0"><colspec colnum="1"

As a results shown above, a preferable compounding amount of phospholipid and protein or protein hydrolyzate and the derivatives thereof is about 0.001 to about 5 wt%.

Also, in the case where the phospholipid and the protein or the protein hydrolyzate and the derivatives thereof is compounded more than 5 wt%, the composition is unsuitable as a cosmetic preparation since it sometimes occurs bad odor.

<Manufacturing Process of Test Example 39>

The ingredients (1) and a part of the ingredient (4) were mixed and stirred about 95°C. After the mixture had transparency, the mixture was cooled down with ice and a fine dispersion composition of wax was obtained. A set lotion was obtained by mixing the dissolution of the ingredients (5) to (7) with the rest of the ingredient (4). &lt;Manufacturing Process of Test Example 40&gt;

The ingredients (1) to (3) and a part of the ingredient (4) were stirred about 95 °C. After the mixture had transparency, the mixture was cooled down with ice and a fine dispersion composition of wax was obtained. A set lotion was obtained by mixing the dissolution of the ingredients (5) to (7) with the rest of the ingredient (4).

<Manufacturing Process of Test Example 41>

A set lotion was obtained by adding the ingredient (4) to the ingredients (2), (3) and (5) to (7).

As is clear from the results shown above, though Test Example 41 which did not compound wax could be obtained a little feel of use in view of less stickiness of hand, smoothness of hand combing and smoothness, it was largely inferior in hair dressing power as compared with Test Example 40. On the contrary, Test Example 39 which compounded the fine dispersion composition of wax of the present invention and the keratin decomposition derivative was improved in all of the views such as less stickiness of hand, easiness of hand combing, smoothness, and hair dressing power. Also, it was appreciated that these effects were maintained even after 6 hours has passed.

Weight Ratio of Wax/Keratin Decomposition Derivatives

Next, the present inventors studied about a compounding amount of keratin decomposition derivative and a weight ratio of wax/keratin decomposition derivative by changing the compounding amount of keratin decomposition derivatives. <tables id="tabl0030" num="0030"><table frame="all"><title>TABLE 16</title><tgroup cols="8" colsep="1" rowsep="0"><colspec colnum="1" colname="col1"

As is clear from the results shown above, though Test Example 51 which did not compound wax could be obtained a little feel of use in view of less stickiness of hand, smoothness of hand combing and smoothness, it was largely inferior in hair dressing power as compared with Test Example 50. On the contrary, Test Example 49 which compounded the fine dispersion composition of wax of the present invention and the silylated peptide was improved in all of the views such as less stickiness of hand, easiness of hand combing, smoothness, and hair dressing power. Also, it was appreciated that these effects were maintained even after 6 hours has passed.

Compounding Amount of Silylated Peptide

Next, the present inventors studied about a compounding amount of the silylated peptide and a weight ratio of wax/silylated peptide by changing the compounding amount of the silylated peptide. <tables

<Manufacturing Process of Wax Part>

The ingredients (1) to (4) were stirred about 92°C. After the mixture had transparency, the mixture was cooled down with ice and a fine dispersion composition of wax was obtained.

<Manufacturing Process of Emulsion Part>

The ingredients (1) to (4) and a part of the ingredient (5) were stirred and emulsified by a homomixer. Then, a emulsified composition was obtained by adding the rest of the ingredient (5).

<Manufacturing Process of Set Lotion>

A shake type set lotion was obtained by mixing the above-mentioned two compositions and the ingredient (3) in the ratio which is shown in TABLE 18.

As is clear from the results shown above, though Test Example 60 which did not compound wax could be obtained a little feel of use in view of less stickiness of hand, smoothness of hand combing and smoothness, it was largely inferior in hair dressing power as compared with Test Example 59. On the contrary, Test Example 58 which compounded the fine dispersion composition of wax of the present invention and the polyether compound that propylene oxide and/or ethylene oxide is additionally polymerized to nucleus of polyhydric alcohol was improved in all of the views such as less stickiness of hand, easiness of hand combing, smoothness, and hair dressing power. Also, it was appreciated that these effects were maintained even after 6 hours has passed. Further, it was appreciated that the improvement effect of hair dressing power was maintained for 12 hours.

A hair cosmetic preparation of the present invention is mixed the fine dispersion composition of wax with the emulsified composition which comprises the polyether compound that propylene oxide and/or ethylene oxide is additionally polymerized to nucleus of polyhydric alcohol that both are separately prepared.

Then, the composition which was almost same composition with Test Example 58 of the present invention and which was prepared without separating to the wax part and the emulsion part was determined as Test Example 61.

The difference between an oil-in-water hair cosmetic preparation of the present invention and Test Example 61 is explained in the following. Though an emulsion particle of the polyether compound that propylene oxide and/or ethylene oxide is additionally polymerized to nucleus of polyhydric alcohol and a dispersion particle of wax existed in separately in the present invention, both formed the same dispersion particle in the composition of Test Example 61. <tables id="tabl0034" num="0034"><table frame="all"><tgroup cols="2" colsep="1" rowsep="0"><colspec colnum="1" colname="col1" colwidth="78.75mm" /><colspec colnum="2" colname="col2" colwidth="78.75mm" /><thead valign="top"><row rowsep="1"><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Test Example 61</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" /></row></thead><tbody valign="top"><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">(1)Carnauba wax</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="char" char=".">4.5</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">(2)Polyoxyethylene behenyl ether (10EO)</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="char" char=".">3.0</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">(3)Sodium 2-undecyl-N,N,N-(hydroxyethylcarboxymethyl)-2-imidazolinium betaine^*3</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="char" char=".">5.0</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">(4)Pentaerythritol (PO) 65mol (EO) 4.5 mol additions</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="char" char=".">20.9</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">(5)1,3-butylene glycol</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="char" char=".">3.5</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">(6)Isostearic acid^*2</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="char" char=".">0.7</entry></row><row rowsep="1"><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">(7)Ion-exchanged water</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="char" char=".">55.3</entry></row></tbody></tgroup></table></tables><tables id="tabl0035" num="0035"><table frame="all"><tgroup cols="2" colsep="1" rowsep="0"><colspec colnum="1" colname="col1" colwidth="78.75mm" /><colspec colnum="2" colname="col2" colwidth="78.75mm" /><thead valign="top"><row rowsep="1"><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Evaluation:</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" /></row></thead><tbody valign="top"><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Stickiness of hand</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="left">Δ</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Easiness of hand combing</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="left">Δ (After 6 hours -, after 12 hours -)</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Smoothness</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="left">Δ (After 6 hours -, after 12 hours -)</entry></row><row rowsep="1"><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Hair dressing power</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="left">Δ (After 6 hours-, after 12 hours -)</entry></row></tbody></tgroup></table></tables>

<Manufacturing Process>

The ingredients (1) to (5) and a part of the ingredient (6) were mixed and stirred at 95°C and a fine dispersion composition of wax which comprised pentaerythritol (PO) 65mol (EO) 4.5mol additions was obtained. Then, a set lotion was obtained by adding the rest of the ingredient (6).

As a result, it is apparent that an excellent feeling of use such as less stickiness of hand, easiness of hand combing, and smoothness can be obtained in the cases where a dispersion particle of wax and a particle of the polyether compound that propylene oxide and/or ethylene oxide is additionally polymerized to nucleus of polyhydric alcohol are existed in separately.

Compounding Amount of Polyether Compound that Propylene Oxide and/or Ethylene

Oxide is Additionally Polymerized to Nucleus of Polyhydric Alcohol

Next, the present inventors studied about a compounding amount of the polyether compound that propylene oxide and/or ethylene oxide is additionally polymerized to nucleus of polyhydric alcohol and a weight ratio of wax/the polyether compound that propylene oxide and/or ethylene oxide is additionally polymerized to nucleus of polyhydric alcohol by changing the compounding amount of the fine dispersion composition of wax (wax part) and the emulsified composition (emulsion part) which comprises the polyether compound that propylene oxide and/or ethylene oxide is additionally polymerized to nucleus of polyhydric alcohol (polyhydric alcohol PO/EO additions). <tables id="tabl0036" num="0036"><table frame="all"><title>TABLE 20</title><tgroup cols="8" colsep="1" rowsep="0"><colspec

<Manufacturing Process of Test Example 69>

The ingredients (1) and a part of the ingredient (4) were mixed and stirred about 95°C. After the mixture had transparency, the mixture was cooled down with ice and a fine dispersion composition of wax was obtained. A set lotion was obtained by mixing the dissolution of the ingredients (5) to (7) with the rest of the ingredient (4).

<Manufacturing Process of Test Example 70>

The ingredients (1) to (3) and a part of the ingredient (4) were stirred about 95 °C. After the mixture had transparency, the mixture was cooled down with ice and a fine dispersion composition of wax was obtained. A set lotion was obtained by mixing the dissolution of the ingredient (7) with the rest of the ingredient (4).

<Manufacturing Process of Test Example 71>

A set lotion was obtained by adding the ingredient (4) to the ingredients (2), (3) and (5) to (7).

As is clear from the results shown above, though Test Example 71 which did not compound wax could be obtained a little feel of use in view of less stickiness of hand, smoothness of hand combing and smoothness, it was largely inferior in hair dressing power as compared with Test Example 70. On the contrary, Test Example 69 which compounded the fine dispersion composition of wax of the present invention and the extracts extracted from vegetables was improved in all of the views such as less stickiness of hand, easiness of hand combing, smoothness, and hair dressing power. Also, it was appreciated that these effects were maintained even after 6 hours has passed. Also, Test Example 69 was also excellent in an activation effect of a scalp as compared with Test Example 71.

Compounding Amount of Wax/Extract from Vegetables

Next, the present inventors studied about a compounding amount of the extract from vegetables and a weight ratio of wax/extract from vegetables by changing the compounding amount of the extract from vegetables. <tables id="tabl0038" num="0038"><table frame="all"><title>TABLE 22</title><tgroup cols="8" colsep="1" rowsep="0"><colspec colnum="1" colname="col1" colwidth="19.68mm" /><colspec

The ingredients (1) to (5) and a part of the ingredients (6) and (10) were stirred and mixed at 95°C. After the mixture had transparency, a fine dispersion composition of wax was obtained by cooling the mixture with ice. Then, a glazing agent was obtained by adding an emulsion which was obtained by mixing the rest of the ingredients (6) and (10) and the ingredients (7) to (9) to the fine dispersion composition. <tables id="tabl0072" num="0072"><table frame="all"><tgroup cols="2" colsep="1" rowsep="0"><colspec colnum="1" colname="col1" colwidth="78.75mm" /><colspec colnum="2" colname="col2" colwidth="78.75mm" /><thead valign="top"><row rowsep="1"><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">Working Example 16 Car Wax</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" /></row></thead><tbody valign="top"><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">(1)Carnauba wax</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="char" char=".">8.0%</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">(2)Paraffin wax</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="char" char=".">2.0</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">(3)Polyoxyethylene (10) polyoxypropylene (2) behenyl ether</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="char" char=".">1.0</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">(4)Polyoxyethylene (20) polyoxypropylene (1) behenyl ether</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="char" char=".">20.0</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">(5)Lauryl dimethylaminoacetic acid betaine (significant part 30%) (Trade name; Anon BL, manufactured by NOF Corp.)</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="char" char=".">10.0</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">(6)Dimethylpolysiloxane (20cs)</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="char" char=".">3.0</entry></row><row><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">(7)Isostearic acid</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="char" char=".">0.5</entry></row><row rowsep="1"><entry namest="col1" nameend="col1" align="left">(8)Ion-exchanged water</entry><entry namest="col2" nameend="col2" align="char" char=".">Balance</entry></row></tbody></tgroup></table></tables>

<Manufacturing Process>

The ingredients (1) to (4) and a part of the ingredients (5) and (8) were stirred and mixed at 95°C. After the mixture had transparency, a fine dispersion composition of wax was obtained by cooling the mixture with ice. Then, a car wax was obtained by adding an emulsion which was obtained by mixing the rest of the ingredients (5) and (8) and the ingredients (6) and (7) to the fine dispersion composition.

As explained above, according to a fine dispersion composition of wax in accordance with the present invention, an extremely fine particle of wax can be prepared by using nonionic surfactant with amphoteric surfactant and/or semi-polar surfactant

Also, since a hair cosmetic preparation in accordance with the present invention comprises a particle of wax which is comprised in said fine dispersion composition of wax and is solid or semisolid in ordinary temperature and one or more of the specific active ingredients, the hair cosmetic preparation is not only excellent in hair dressing power, but also is excellent in the feel of use such as smoothness, less stickiness, and easiness of hand combing.

Also, a fine dispersion composition of the present invention is excellent as a glazing agent.
