## Background
This application is a continuation-in-part of PCT/JP01/06310 filed on Jul. 19, 2001, whose entire disclosure is incorporated by reference herein.


FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a powder composition suitable for cosmetic materials, and in particular to a powder composition having excellent dispersibility comprising alcoholic hydroxyl groups treated by a silicone compound, to a powder composition in oil obtained by dispersing this powder composition in oil, and to a cosmetic material containing these preparations.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Untreated powders tend to stick together due to charges and polarity on the powder surface and minute amounts of impurities, and this interferes with the dispersibility and stability of the powder.
Various types of surface treatment have been proposed to improve the dispersibility and stability of the powder, and when used in cosmetics, they improve the “feel” of the product.
The reagents and methods used to treat the powder surface are chosen taking account of properties regarding the nature of the powder surface to be treated and the dispersing medium. For example, there is lipophilic treatment by oils or metal soaps, hydrophilic treatment by surfactants or water-soluble polymers, or water-repellent/oil-repellent treatment by silicone oils.
Among these, silicone compounds which have excellent feel, water repellent properties and stability are becoming increasingly widely used as oils. In order to improve the miscibility of the powder, a surface treatment using methyl hydrogen siloxane has been proposed in Japanese Patent No. 02719303 (Koho), and a surface improvement by a straight chain, single-terminated alkoxy-modified silicone has been proposed in Japanese Patent Application Public Disclosure (Kokai) Hei 7-196946 (Koho). Further, to improve dispersibility in the silicone oil, Japanese Patent Application Public Disclosure (Kokai) Hei 10-167946 (Koho) discloses a method wherein a polyether-modified silicone with a HLB of 2-7 is used as a dispersant.
However, although aggregation and sedimentation were improved in these surface-treated powders, further improvements were still desired. Depending on the treatment agent or treatment method, the powder and treatment agent tended to separate from the cosmetic material, or the powder became lumpy with passage of time and was difficult to re-disperse, so product quality and feel were adversely affected. It was therefore desired to develop a powder composition and powder dispersion with little cohesion, excellent dispersibility and time-dependent stability, and a pleasant feel.
It is therefore a first object of this invention to provide a powder composition having little cohesion and excellent dispersibility.
It is a second object of this invention to provide an oil-based powder having little cohesion and excellent time-dependent stability.
It is a third object of this invention to provide a cosmetic material having excellent usability and good time-dependent stability.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The above objects of the invention were obtained by a powder composition comprising a silicone represented by the following formula (1) having alcoholic hydroxyl groups and a powder, by an oil-based powder dispersion comprising this powder composition dispersed in an oil, and a cosmetic material comprising these.

R1aR2bR3cSiO(4−a−b−c)/2  (1)

(1) In the formula, R1 are organic groups which may be the same or different chosen from alkyl, aryl, aralkyl and fluorine-substituted alkyl groups having 1-30 carbon atoms, R2 is a substituent having one or more alcoholic hydroxyl groups, R3 is a group represented by the following general formula (2),





R4is an oxygen atom or a bifunctional hydrocarbon group, and a, b, c, d are values satisfying the relations 1.0≦a≦2.5, 0.001≦b≦1, 0.001≦c≦1, 1.5≦a+b+c≦2.6, and d is integer of 0≦d≦500.
As the powder composition of this invention has excellent dispersibility, it is suitable for cosmetic product applications where usability and time-dependent stability are particularly required. The cosmetic material of this invention comprising the powder composition of this invention not only has an excellent cool feel, but also long-lasting make-up properties and time-dependent stability.


DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Specific examples of R1 in the general formula (1), R1aR2bR3cSiO(4−a−b−c)/2 are alkyl groups such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl, cycloalkyl groups such as cyclopentyl and cyclohexyl, aryl groups such as phenyl and tolyl, aralkyl groups such as benzyl and phenetyl, alcohol residues such as oleyloxy and allyloxy, and fluorine-substituted alkyl groups such as trifluoropropyl and heptadecafluorodecyl.
Specific examples of R2 are groups having one OH group such as —C3H6OH, —C4H8OH, —C8H16OH and —C11H22OH, groups having two primary alcohols such as




groups having a primary and secondary alcohol such as

C3H6OCH2CH(OH)CH2OH, —C11H22OCH2CH(OH)CH2OH,

and groups having two primary alcohols and two secondary alcohols such as

—C3H6OCH(CH2OCH2CH(OH)CH2OH)2, —C11H22OCH(CH2OCH2CH(OH)CH2OH)2.

R3 is a group represented by general formulae (6) and (7).





a is 1.0-2.5 but preferably 1.2-2.3, while b and c are 0.001-1.5 but preferably 0.005-1.0, respectively.

R5 in the above formula is identical to R1 or a hydroxyl group.

    n is an integer in the range 1-5, and in particular, n synthesized by the reaction of a vinyl group and —SiH group is 2.
    d is 0-500, but preferably 1-100. When d is larger than 500, there may be problems such as poor reactivity with the main chain.


The branched silicone which has a group represented by the general formula (6) is synthesized by an addition reaction of an organohydrogen, and a single-terminated vinyl-modified polysiloxane represented by the following general formula (8).




On the other hand, a branched silicone which has a group represented by the general formula (7) is synthesized by an equilibration reaction using an acid or an alkali catalyst according to conventional methods. A branch silicone unit is introduced by using a trialkoxymethylsilane, trihydroxymethylsilane, tris(trimethylsiloxy) methylsilane, and their straight chain or cyclic oligomers for the equilibration reaction. Alternatively, it is possible to perform a ring-opening polymerization by a living polymerization catalyst using a silanol-modified silicone.
There is no particular limitation on the weight average molecular weight of the silicone compound of the above-mentioned general formula (1), when using it as a surface treatment agent for powder, but it is preferably 300-100,000. If 100,000 is exceeded, it will have a tacky feel due to the viscosity of silicone, and if it less than 300, the smoothness of silicone is not obtained. In particular, 1,000-10,000 is preferred.
The silicone compound of the above-mentioned general formula (1) used by this invention is easily synthesized by performing an addition reaction of an organohydrogen polysiloxane and a vinyl group-containing alcohol-modified compound having the following general formula in the presence of a platinum catalyst or a rhodium catalyst.




It can also be synthesized by adding the following acetal compound, CH2═CHCnH2nOCH (CH2OCH2CH(OH)CH2OH)2, and performing a acetone removal reaction.
The organohydrogenpolysiloxane used in these cases may be either straight chain or cyclic, but straight chain is preferred from the viewpoint that the addition reaction proceeds more satisfactorily. Also, there is no particular limitation on the bonding site of the —SiH group, which may be either the side chain or the end of the chain.
It is preferred that the above addition reaction proceeds in the presence of a platinum catalyst or a rhodium catalyst. Specific examples of this catalyst are platinic acid chloride, alcohol-modified platinic acid chloride and platinic acid chloride-vinyl siloxane complex. The amount of catalyst used may be that which is usually employed, but 50 ppm or less and especially 20 ppm or less is preferred in terms of the amount of platinum or rhodium.
The above-mentioned addition reaction may be performed in an organic solvent if needed. Examples of the organic solvent are aliphatic alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol and butanol, aromatic hydrocarbons, such as toluene and xylene, aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons, such as n-pentane, n-hexane and cyclohexane, and halogenated hydrocarbons, such as dichloromethane, chloroform and carbon tetrachloride. There is no particular limitation on the addition reaction conditions, but the reaction may conveniently be performed under reflux for 1-10 hours.
