AEROSOL COMPOSITION FOR COLLECTING CARBON DIOXIDE

Abstract

The present invention relates to a composition for collection of carbon dioxide using a liquid surfactant. The aerosol composition containing a liquid surfactant, of the present invention, has no deterioration in quality even at high temperatures, absorbs carbon dioxide to form a predetermined shaped foam when sprayed on the skin, is smoothly absorbed when rolled several times, and is naturally absorbed into the skin after several minutes even when left by completely losing carbon dioxide, and thus the aerosol composition can be favorably used as a foam type cosmetic product.

Description

[0055] FIG. 1 is a photograph of the foam having a diameter of 1 cm, formed by spraying the composition on the skin.

[0056] The results of measuring the height and stickiness degree of the foam formed for each composition are shown in Table 2.

TABLE-US-00002 TABLE 2 Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Foam height (cm) 0.3-0.8 1.0-1.5 1.2-1.7 Stickiness after absorption .sup.a + +++ +++ .sup.a Stickiness degree evaluation scale: +++ very sticky, ++ sticky, + no stickiness

[0057] As described above, it was confirmed that in the case that liquid polyglyceryl-2 diisostearate was used as the surfactant, the height of the foam was appropriately formed, and in the case of Examples 2 and 3, surface active force was too strong, so that foam in an artificial shape was formed, in which the height of the formed foam was similar to that of a general cleaning agent. Further, as a result of evaluating the stickiness degree, it was confirmed that in the case of using the liquid polyglyceryl-2-diisostearate, there was little stickiness, as compared with Examples 2 and 3, and when rolled on the skin 4-5 times, the foam softly collapsed and was absorbed into the skin in a liquid form. Further, when forming foam by spraying at a diameter of 1 cm, the number of bubbles in the foam having a size of 1 mm or more was 10 or less which is small, and most of the bubbles took a microbubble form in a micrometer scale. As such, most of the bubbles took a microbubble form, thereby greatly improving the feeling of use by the contact with the skin.

[0058] It was confirmed that the foam had a semi-spherical shape initially by capturing carbon dioxide, however, when left as it is, lost its form within 2 minutes, and completely lost carbon dioxide within 5 minutes, thereby being absorbed into the skin.

[0059] Through an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an aerosol composition for capturing carbon dioxide including a liquid surfactant was prepared, thereby greatly improving the long term stability of the formulation and the feeling of using the aerosol, which were the conventional problems, and thus, the present invention was completed.
