Description

本発明は、皮膚バリア機能改善効果、抗炎症効果及び止痒効果等の優れた皮膚乾燥トラブル改善効果を有するとともに、良好な使用感を示す皮膚外用組成物に関する。  The present invention relates to an external composition for skin having excellent skin dryness trouble improving effects such as a skin barrier function improving effect, an anti-inflammatory effect and an antipruritic effect, and exhibiting a good feeling of use.

従来から、皮膚の乾燥トラブルを防ぐための外用剤として、尿素、ヘパリン類似物質又はワセリンのような様々な医薬品が用いられている。しかし、これらは効果が充分ではなかったり、また、べたつき感、違和感又は刺激感といった不快な使用感がある。
一方、化粧品原料としては、キトサン及びその誘導体が使用されているが、これらに関する皮膚乾燥トラブル改善効果については報告されていない(例えば、特開平10−182332号公報及び特開2000−212203号公報参照)。
他方、使用感をよくするための試みとしては、乳液、クリーム等の乳化系製剤の開発が行われている。しかしながら、これらの乳化系製剤には、細胞膜の破壊やタンパク質変性等による細胞毒性を示すものが多いことが知られている界面活性剤や乳化剤が使われていることから、皮膚バリア機能を低下させ、かえって皮膚の乾燥を悪化させてしまうことがあるという問題があった。
発明の要約
本発明は、上記現状に鑑み、極めて優れた皮膚乾燥トラブル改善効果を有する皮膚外用組成物を提供することを目的とする。
本発明者らは、鋭意検討した結果、下記一般式(1)で表されるキトサン若しくは該キトサンがアミノ基において酸とともに塩を形成しているがそれ以外には修飾されていないもの、及び/又は、上記キトサンのアセチル化物であるキチンが、皮膚バリア機能改善効果及び抗炎症効果に優れることを新たな評価系を用いることで見出し、しかも極めて優れた止痒効果を有することも見出した。更に、従来の製剤化では、塗り心地等の商品性を向上するために必須とされてきた界面活性剤、両溶媒性基剤及びメイラード反応抑制効果を有する硫黄原子含有化合物の配合が、キトサン及び/又はキチンの経皮水分蒸散抑制効果を著しく損なうことを見出し、これらを製剤中に配合しないことによりキトサン及び/又はキチンの効果が著しく向上することを見出した。

Figure 2004085486
本発明は、上記一般式(1)で表されるキトサン、及び/又は、上記キトサンのアセチル化物であるキチン(以下、本明細書では、単に、キトサン及び/又はキチンと称す)を含有し、好ましくは界面活性剤、両溶媒基剤及びメイラード反応抑制効果を有する硫黄原子含有化合物を含有しないことを特徴とする皮膚外用組成物である。
発明の詳細な開示
以下に本発明を詳述する。
本発明で用いられるキトサンは、上記一般式(1)で表される化合物であり、キチンを濃アルカリ溶液等と加熱する等して、40mol/mol%以上の脱アセチル化をすることにより得られるポリ−N−アセチル−D−グルコサミンである。本発明で用いられるキトサンには、上記一般式(1)で表されるキトサンがアミノ基において有機酸や無機酸とともに塩を形成しているものも含まれる。しかしながら、本発明で用いられるキトサンには、塩形成以外の修飾を受けたキトサン誘導体は含まれない。なお、本発明で用いられるキトサンを製造するための原料であるキチンの種類や、キトサンの製造方法については特に限定されない。
本発明の皮膚外用組成物は、キトサン及び/又はキチンを0.5〜20重量%含有する。0.5重量%未満であると、充分な効果が得られないことがあり、20重量%を越えても、それ以上効果が著しく高まることはなく、むしろ粘度が高まり、溶解しにくくなって、製剤化が困難となる。好ましい含有量は0.5〜10重量%であり、より好ましくは0.5〜8重量%であり、更に好ましくは1〜6重量%であり、最も好ましくは1〜4重量%である。
上記キトサン及び/又はキチンは、平均重合度が5以上、1000未満であるのが好ましい。5未満であると、充分に皮膚乾燥トラブル改善効果が得られないことがあり、1000以上になると、物性が変わり、やはり充分に皮膚乾燥トラブル改善効果が得られなくなることがある。より好ましくは10以上、800未満であり、更に好ましくは50以上、500未満である。
また、上記キトサン及び/又はキチンは、平均重合度が5以上、1000未満(低重合度キトサン及び/又はキチン)と平均重合度が1000以上、5000未満(高重合度キトサン及び/又はキチン)との混合物であることが好ましい。
高い皮膚乾燥トラブル改善効果を有する平均重合度が5以上、1000未満のキトサン及び/又はキチンと、のびがよく軽い使用感(さっぱり感)と浸透性(なじみ易さ)を得ることができる平均重合度が1000以上、5000未満のキトサン及び/又はキチンとを混合して用いることにより両者の特徴を併せ持つ皮膚外用組成物が得られる。
上記低重合度キトサン及び/又はキチンと高重合度キトサン及び/又はキチンとの混合比としては、低重合度キトサン及び/又はキチン100重量部に対して、高重合度キトサン及び/又はキチン30〜300重量部が好ましい。この範囲外であると、両者が分離し易くなり製剤化が困難となることがある。より好ましくは50〜150重量部である。
なお、上記キトサン及び/又はキチンの平均重合度とは、キトサンのC11NOを1単位として(n=1)、極限粘度から求められた数値のことである。
更に、本発明の皮膚外用組成物をゲル濾過高速液体クロマトグラフィー(GPC)で分子量分布を測定したとき、上記キトサン及び/又はキチンは、重量平均分子量の数平均分子量に対する比(重量平均分子量/数平均分子量)が10以上であることが好ましい。本発明で用いられるキトサン及び/又はキチンが、低重合度キトサン及び/又はキチンと高重合度キトサン及び/又はキチンとの混合物であると、重量平均分子量の数平均分子量に対する比が10以上となり易い。重量平均分子量の数平均分子量に対する比が10未満の場合、充分な効果が得られなかったり、製剤化が困難となることがある。
本発明の皮膚外用組成物は、上記キトサンに塩を形成させ水溶化するために、酸が配合されていてもよい。
上記酸としては無機酸、有機酸のいずれも用いることができる。上記無機酸としては、例えば、塩酸、リン酸、硫酸、硝酸等が挙げられる。上記有機酸としては、例えば、酢酸、コハク酸、リンゴ酸、乳酸、酪酸、フマル酸、マロン酸、イタコン酸、グルコン酸、グリコール酸、酒石酸、クエン酸等が挙げられる。特に、カルボン酸にヒドロキシル基を有する化学構造を持つ脂肪酸であるヒドロキシ酸が好ましい。これらの酸は単独で用いられてもよいし、2種以上が併用されてもよい。
上記酸の含有量は、0.1〜20重量%であることが好ましい。0.1重量%未満では充分に水溶化できないことがあり、20重量%を越えると、適用部位によっては皮膚刺激性を示す可能性がある。より好ましくは、0.5〜10重量%である。
本発明の皮膚外用組成物は、更に液体油類を含有することが好ましい。液体油類は化粧料等でよく用いられるものである。上記液体油類としては、例えば、スクワラン等の炭化水素類、トリグリセライド等のグリセライド油類等が挙げられる。なかでも、スクワランが特に好適である。
上記液体油類の含有量は、2〜20重量%であることが好ましく、より好ましくは5〜15重量%である。
本発明の皮膚外用組成物は、更に尿素を含有することが好ましい。上記キトサン及び/又はキチンは水溶液中において、熱によりメイラード反応を起こしやすく褐変化することがあるが、本発明者らは、尿素を添加することにより上記キトサン及び/又はキチンが安定化して、褐変化を防止できることを見出した。
上記尿素の含有量は、0.1〜3重量%であることが好ましい。0.1重量%未満であると、充分な効果が得られないことがあり、3重量%を越えると、効果がそれ以上高まらないだけでなく、キトサンが析出し、製剤化が困難となることがある。より好ましくは0.1〜1.5重量%である。
なお、本発明の皮膚外用組成物は、例えば亜硫酸塩等のメイラード反応防止効果を有する硫黄原子含有化合物は本発明の効果を消失させる恐れがあるので、含有しないことが好ましい。
本発明の皮膚外用組成物は、更に、界面活性剤及び両溶媒性基剤を含有しないことが好ましい。例えばドデシル硫酸ナトリウム等のイオン性界面活性剤や、例えばグリセリン等の両溶媒性基剤は、本発明の効果を消失させたり、製剤化が困難となる恐れがある。なお、本発明において、界面活性剤、両溶媒性基剤及びメイラード反応抑制効果を有する硫黄原子含有化合物を含有しないとは、これらの物質を全く含有しないことを意味するのみならず、これらの物質が通常乳化作用やメイラード反応抑制反応を起こさない範囲内で混入している場合をも含むこととする。例えば、本発明の皮膚外用組成物に、界面活性剤としてドデシル硫酸ナトリウムが0.1%未満混入している場合や、また両溶媒性基剤としてグリセリンが1%未満混入している場合は、本発明の皮膚外用組成物は、これらの化合物を含有していないものとする。
本発明の皮膚外用組成物の剤形としては特に限定されず、例えば、軟膏剤、クリーム剤、液剤等が挙げられ、上記液剤としては、ゲル剤、ゾル剤、水溶液剤、アルコール剤、油剤、懸濁型ローション剤、乳剤型ローション剤、ニス剤、湿布剤、噴霧剤等が挙げられる。
本発明の皮膚外用組成物の製造方法としては特に限定されず、従来公知の方法により製造することができる。

However, these are not effective enough and have an unpleasant feeling of use such as stickiness, discomfort or irritation.
On the other hand, chitosan and its derivatives have been used as cosmetic raw materials, but no reports have been made on the effect of improving skin dryness related to these (see, for example, JP-A-10-182332 and JP-A-2000-212203). ).
On the other hand, as an attempt to improve the feeling of use, development of emulsion preparations such as emulsions and creams has been performed. However, these emulsified preparations use surfactants and emulsifiers that are known to have many cytotoxic effects due to cell membrane destruction and protein denaturation, etc., so that the skin barrier function is lowered. On the contrary, there was a problem that the dryness of the skin may be worsened.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a composition for external use on the skin, which has an extremely excellent effect on improving skin dryness trouble in view of the above-mentioned present situation.

More preferably, it is 10 or more and less than 800, More preferably, it is 50 or more and less than 500.
The chitosan and / or chitin has an average polymerization degree of 5 or more and less than 1000 (low polymerization degree chitosan and / or chitin) and an average polymerization degree of 1000 or more and less than 5000 (high polymerization degree chitosan and / or chitin). It is preferable that it is a mixture.
Achieving a high degree of skin dryness trouble with an average degree of polymerization of 5 or more and less than 1000 chitosan and / or chitin, an average polymerization that is easy to spread and light (feels refreshing) and penetrates (easy to fit) By using a mixture of chitosan and / or chitin having a degree of 1000 or more and less than 5000, a composition for external use having both characteristics can be obtained.
As a mixing ratio of the low polymerization degree chitosan and / or chitin and the high polymerization degree chitosan and / or chitin, the high polymerization degree chitosan and / or chitin 30 to 100 parts by weight of the low polymerization degree chitosan and / or chitin. 300 parts by weight is preferred. If it is out of this range, it may be easy to separate them, making formulation difficult. More preferably, it is 50-150 weight part.
The average degree of polymerization of chitosan and / or chitin is a numerical value obtained from the intrinsic viscosity with C 6 H 11 NO 4 of chitosan as one unit (n = 1).
Furthermore, when the molecular weight distribution of the external composition for skin of the present invention was measured by gel filtration high performance liquid chromatography (GPC), the chitosan and / or chitin was a ratio of the weight average molecular weight to the number average molecular weight (weight average molecular weight / number). The average molecular weight is preferably 10 or more. If the chitosan and / or chitin used in the present invention is a mixture of low-polymerization chitosan and / or chitin and high-polymerization chitosan and / or chitin, the ratio of the weight average molecular weight to the number average molecular weight tends to be 10 or more. . When the ratio of the weight average molecular weight to the number average molecular weight is less than 10, a sufficient effect may not be obtained or formulation may be difficult.
The external composition for skin of the present invention may contain an acid in order to form a salt on the chitosan to make it water-soluble.
As the acid, either an inorganic acid or an organic acid can be used. Examples of the inorganic acid include hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and the like. Examples of the organic acid include acetic acid, succinic acid, malic acid, lactic acid, butyric acid, fumaric acid, malonic acid, itaconic acid, gluconic acid, glycolic acid, tartaric acid, and citric acid. In particular, a hydroxy acid which is a fatty acid having a chemical structure having a hydroxyl group in the carboxylic acid is preferred. These acids may be used independently and 2 or more types may be used together.
The acid content is preferably 0.1 to 20% by weight. If it is less than 0.1% by weight, it may not be sufficiently water-soluble, and if it exceeds 20% by weight, it may cause skin irritation depending on the application site. More preferably, it is 0.5 to 10% by weight.
It is preferable that the external composition for skin of this invention contains liquid oil further. Liquid oils are often used in cosmetics and the like.
