Abstract:
A method of thickening cosmetics containing a crosslinked water-swellable polymer, or a microgel obtained by pulverizing a hydrophilic compound having gelation ability. The method comprises adding a linear polyacrylic acid or a salt thereof, or a linear poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid) or a salt thereof, having a weight-average molecular weight of 500,000 to 8,000,000, which has a thread length of 10 mm or less at room temperature when formed into a 1% by mass solution. The method provides cosmetics having an improved viscoelastic ratio, with a rich and full-bodied feeling upon application.
Abstract:
A polymer compound in which coumarin or a derivative thereof is bonded to at least one terminal of a skeletal polymer. A flow property of the polymer compound is reversibly changeable from a first state to a second state by irradiation with light at a first wavelength and from the second state to the first state by irradiation with light at a second wavelength different from the first wavelength.
Abstract:
Provided is an elastomer that improves the skin feel of an inorganic powder. The elastomer according to the present invention is an elastomer comprising: (A) an amino group-containing silicone polymer; and (B) a carboxyl group-containing silicone polymer or a carboxyl group-containing acrylamide polymer, wherein a molar ratio Y/X between amino groups and carboxyl groups is within a range of 0.1 to 1.2, wherein Y denotes the molar amount of carboxyl groups contained in the component (B), and X denotes the molar amount of amino groups contained in the component (A).
Abstract:
The present invention provides an oil-in-water emulsion composition thickened with a hydrophobically modified polyether urethane, the composition having improved high-temperature stability and giving a pudding-like unique feeling. The invention provides an elastic jelly-like composition characterized in that a hydrophobically modified polyether urethane has been incorporated into an oil-in-water emulsion including oil droplets with an average particle diameter of 150 nm or smaller. The elastic jelly-like composition is transparent or translucent, gives a pudding-like elastic feeling, has excellent viscosity stability at high temperatures, and is suitable for use as a cosmetic-preparation base. The hydrophobically modified polyether urethane is especially preferably a PEG-240/decyltetradeceth-20/HDI copolymer.
