BEST MODE

[0027] Hereinafter, in order to describe the present invention more specifically, preferred embodiments according to the present invention will be described. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described herein but may be embodied in other forms.

[0028] The present invention relates to a film-forming composition for skin or hair coating, characterized in that it comprises silane and water, which has excellent coating effect on skin or hair even though a raw material having low molecular weight is used in order to form a thin film to prevent heavy feeling of use when applied to skin or hair.

[0029] In addition, the film-forming composition includes the silane and the water separately and thus when applied to skin or hair, the silane and the water can react with each other to form a film.

[0030] The term film-forming composition for skin or hair coating as used herein may refer to a film-forming composition for coating either skin or hair, or may refer to a film-forming composition for coating both skin and hair.

[0031] Hereinafter, each of the main components used in the preparation in the present invention will be described in more detail.

[0032] Silane

[0033] If silane reacts with water, alkoxy groups in silane are hydrolyzed to form silanol groups. The silanol group can condense with other silanol group to form a siloxane polymer chain and thus form a film. If the film formed by the silane and water is formed on skin or hair, it acts as a low molecular weight protective film to protect the skin and hair. Also, when a cosmetic product is applied to skin or a dye or the like is applied to hair and then the film is formed thereon, makeup or dyeing durability and the like can be improved. In addition, if silane is used to form a film, a low molecular film can be formed, thereby providing a light feeling of use.

[0034] The silane is a mono-molecular material, and may be at least one selected from the group consisting of aminopropyltriethoxysilane, hexyltriethoxysilane, perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane, triethoxycaprylylsilane, retinoxytrimethylsilane, stearyltriethoxysilane and stearoxytrimethylsilane.

[0035] In the present invention, the silane may be contained in an amount of 0.1 to 5 wt. % based on the total weight of the film-forming composition. If the content of the silane is less than the above range, it is difficult to form a film, so that the coating effect on the skin or hair is deteriorated. If the content of the silane exceeds the above range, the feeling of use is heavy and thus the preference level may be lowered.

[0036] Silicone-Based Oil

[0037] In the present invention, the film-forming composition may further comprise a silicone-based oil. The silicone-based oil is added to the film-forming composition to impart softness and play a role in protecting skin or hair.

[0038] The weight-average molecular weight of the silicone-based oil may range from 3,000 to 50,000. If the weight-average molecular weight of the silicone-based oil is less than 3,000, the strength of the film during film-forming on the skin or hair is lowered and the effect of improving the softness of the composition is insignificant. If the weight-average molecular weight of the silicone-based oil exceeds 50,000, the effect of improving the softness of the composition may be insignificant and the skin and hair protecting function may be deteriorated.

[0039] At this time, the silicone-based oil may be at least one selected from the group consisting of dimethiconol, dimethicone, cyclomethicone, cyclophenylmethicone, capryldimethicone, caprylyltrimethicone, caprylylmethicone, cetearylmethicone, hexadecylmethicone, hexylmethicone, laurylmethicone, myristylmethicone, phenylmethicone, stearylmethicone, stearyldimethicone, trifluoropropylmethicone, cetyldimethicone, polyphenylmethylsiloxane, dimethylpolysiloxane, methylphenylpolysiloxane, cyclopentasiloxane, decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, cyclohexasiloxane, cyclohepatsiloxane, cyclotetrasiloxane, cyclotrisiloxane, methyltrimethicone, diphenylsiloxyphenyltrimethicone, caprylylmethicone and phenyltrimethicone, and preferably may be dimethiconol.

[0040] The silicone-based oil may be contained in an amount of 1 to 40 wt. % based on the total weight of the film-forming composition. If the content of the silicone-based oil is less than the above range, the feeling of application on the skin is lowered and the effect of improving the softness of composition is insignificant. If the content exceeds the above range, the skin and hair protecting function may be deteriorated.

[0041] Surfactant

[0042] The film-forming composition may further comprise a surfactant and may be an emulsion in which micelles carrying the silane compound in the core are water-dispersed.

[0043] Surfactant is usually present in the form of a molecule in aqueous solution, but as the concentration of the surfactant in the solution increases, the surface tension decreases. The film-forming composition may further comprise a surfactant and may be an emulsion in which micelles carrying the silane compound in the core are water-dispersed.

[0044] Surfactant is usually present in the form of a molecule in aqueous solution, but as the concentration of the surfactant in the solution increases, the surface tension is deteriorated, and then if the deterioration of the surface tension becomes more difficult to occur, the hydrophobic groups of the surfactant are brought into association with each other to form a micelle, which is an agglomerate having a structure in which the hydrophobic group is directed toward the inside and the hydrophilic group is directed toward the outside so as to be in contact with water. The concentration of the surfactant solution that forms the micelle on this wise is called critical micelle concentration (CMC). Before and after the critical micelle concentration, physical properties such as interfacial tension, surface tension, electrical conductivity, cleaning ability, and viscosity, etc. of the surfactant solution are drastically changed. For example, above the critical micelle concentration, the surfactant solution has the property of dissolving a third substance, which does not dissolve in the surfactant solution, into the micelle, and this property is called solubilization.

[0045] When a film-forming composition in an emulsion state in which a mixture of silane or silane and silicone oil is carried in the core of the micelle and the micelle is dispersed in water is prepared, the silane and water can be present in an unreacted state.

[0046] In addition, the surfactant may be at least one cationic surfactant selected from the group consisting of steartrimoniumchloride, cetrimoniumchloride, behenyltrimethylammonium chloride, cetyltrimethylammonium chloride, stearyltrimethylammonium chloride, distearyldimethylammonium chloride, dicetyldimethylammonium chloride, cocamidopropyldimethylamine, stearamidopropyldimethylamine, behenylamidopropyldimethylamine, oleamidopropyldimethylamine and isostearamidopropyldimethylamine; or at least one non-ionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of Trideceth-10, Trideceth-12, lauryl glucoside, decyl glucoside, PEG(Poly Ethylene Glycol)-20 glyceryl triisostearate, PEG-15 glyceryl isostearate, polyglyceryl-3 diisostearate and polyglyceryl-10 dioleate.

[0047] The concentration of the surfactant in the film-forming composition of the present invention may be higher than the critical micelle concentration, and the diameter of the micelle may be 100 to 300 nm. If the diameter of the micelle is smaller than the above range, the thickness of the film may be too small to improve the durability. If the diameter of the micelle is larger than the above range, the thickness of the film may become thicker, and thus the purpose of increasing the durability by light feeling of use through a thin film cannot be achieved.

[0048] When the film-forming composition is applied to skin or hair, the micelle is broken and the silane and water react with each other to form a film. Specifically, when the film-forming composition is applied to skin or hair, as the micelle breaks in the process of the evaporation and re-emulsification of water, the silane carried in the micelle is brought into contact with and then reacts with water outside the micelle to form a film. Therefore, before use, i.e., application, the silane and water are present separately from each other, so that the composition is easy to store and convenient to use.

[0049] In addition, after the film-forming composition is applied to the skin or hair, a further heat treatment may be performed for effective film-forming. In the case of skin, it is possible to apply warm air of a temperature that does not cause burns, to the skin, or to bring the skin into contact with a steam towel to help film-forming. In the case of hair, it is possible to apply heat to the hair using a heat styler (a straightener) or a heat treatment machine used in salons, and it is preferable to apply heat in the range of 80 to 150 C.

[0050] Hereinafter, examples, comparative examples and experimental examples will be described to help understand the effects of the present invention. However, it should be noted that the following description is only an example of the contents and effects of the present invention, and the scope and effect of the present invention are not limited thereto.

EXAMPLE 1

Preparation of Film-Forming Composition Comprising Emulsion in Which Micelles Carrying Silane and Silicone are Water-Dispersed

[0051] 5 g of non-ionic surfactant Trideceth-12, 10 g of dimethiconol with weight-average molecular weight of 5000 as silicone-based oil and 2 g of triethoxycaprylylsilane as silane were uniformly mixed at 50 C. Thereafter, 10 g of deionized water was added and stirring was carried out at a high-speed (3600 rpm) for 10 minutes while observing the phase transition point (the point at which the phase transition from the W/O phase to the O/W phase occurs). Then, the temperature was lowered to room temperature, 73 g of deionized water was added, and the mixture was stirred at high speed for 1 hour to prepare an emulsion type film-forming composition in which micelles carrying silane and silicone are water-dispersed.

COMPARATIVE EXAMPLE 1

Preparation of Film-Forming Composition Comprising Emulsion in Which Micelles Carrying Silicone are Water-Dispersed

[0052] A film-forming composition was prepared in the same method as in Example 1 except that triethoxycaprylylsilane as the silane was not used.

EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLE 1

Measurement of Water Repellency by Measurement of Contact Angle of Hair

[0053] The hair coated with the film-forming composition of Example 1 and the hair coated with the film-forming composition of Comparative Example 1 were washed with shampoo three times in total, and then the contact angle of hair depending on the number of washing times (0, 1, 2 and 3 times) was measured using a measuring device (Process Tensiometer K100), and the measuring process of the contact angle is shown in FIG. 1. Referring to FIG. 1, after the two hairs are installed vertically in the fiber holder, the fiber holder is moved downward at a constant speed so that the hair is immersed in water, and the contact angle of the hair was measured by sensing the weight change of the liquid contacting the hair. The water repellency of the surface of the hair was measured by measuring the contact angle of the hair, and the results are shown in FIG. 2.

[0054] As shown in FIG. 2, it can be confirmed that since the contact angle of the hair coated with the film-forming composition of Example 1 was 70.96 even after three time washings, it has excellent water repellency and coating effect on hair surface, as compared with the hair coated with the film-forming composition of Comparative Example 1 showing a contact angle of 51.25.

EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLE 2

Evaluation of Adsorption Amount and Durability of Film-Forming Composition (Wool Swatch Test)

[0055] 1 g of shampoo was placed on a 5 cm5 cm wool swatch, 10 g of tap water at 37.5 C. was added, and evenly applied for 1 minute while rubbing lightly with a small force. After rubbing, the wool swatch was thoroughly rinsed with tap water at 37.5 C. at a flow rate of 100 g/s for 30 seconds or more. The above procedure was repeated three times. Thereafter, the wool swatch was immersed in 5% of the film-forming composition of Example 1 which was prepared by using a 0.5% fluorescent dye (nile red (Mw: 318)) solution or 5% of the film-forming composition of Comparative Example 1 which was prepared by using a 0.5% fluorescent dye (nile red (Mw: 318)) solution, for 3 minutes, respectively. After 3 minutes, the wool swatch was removed and then heat-treated at 90 C. for 5 minutes, then rinsed thoroughly with tap water at 37.5 r at a flow rate of 100 g/s for 30 seconds or more, and then air-dried. Then, the degree of coloration was measured with a colorimeter (CHROMA METER CR-100, MINOLTA CAMERA CO., LTD., Japan), and the remaining amount of the composition remaining in the wool swatch was evaluated depending on the number of rinses. The measurement results are shown in FIG. 3.

[0056] As shown in FIG. 3, it can be seen that when the composition (Example 1) containing the silane according to the present invention is applied, the change in the amount of adsorption is not large and durability is excellent, even in the case of washing with water and washing with shampoo three times. However, it can be seen that when the composition containing no silane (Comparative Example 1) is applied, most of the components are removed and the adsorption amount of the composition is almost zero. From this, it can be seen that the composition according to the present invention can be easily adsorbed to a substrate by forming a silane film, while the adsorbed components can be retained for a longer time, thereby increasing the durability of the softness of the hair.
