Abstract

This study is related to a lamellar liquid crystal make-up cleansing formulation with a hologram-like unique appearance between two polarizing plates. Make-up cleansing formulations with a lamellar liquid crystal phase have been extensively studied for a long time, but there have been limitations in practical commercialization because of increasing turbidity and viscosity. In this study, to solve this problem, alkyl chains of surfactants were modified to increase the fluidity of the liquid crystal phase, and electrostatic repulsion force was increased by introducing anionic surfactant. The lamellar liquid crystal make-up cleansing formulation which introduced anionic surfactants can easily inhibit crystallization through electrostatic repulsion force, thereby showing excellent stability overtime, maintaining transparent appearance and viscosity. In addition, we have newly introduced an in vitro cleansing evaluation method using fluorescent material and in vivo imaging system (IVIS) for objective and quantitative cleansing ability evaluation. The excellent cleansing ability of lamellar liquid crystal cleansing formulation has been confirmed by newly developed evaluation method. On the other hand, when lamellar liquid crystal make-up cleansing formulation was placed between orthogonally arranged two polarizing plates, a specific pattern like a hologram can be observed. This phenomenon is presumably interpreted as the interference between the visible light passing through the liquid crystal formulation and the lamellar structure. The lamellar structure of cleansing formulation was confirmed by SAXS analysis, exhibiting Bragg spacing ratio of 1 : 2. The lamellar liquid crystal make-up cleansing formulation prepared in this study would be useful for future application in make-up cleansing due to its excellent stability, cleansing ability, and unique hologram-like pattern placed between two polarizing plates.

본 연구는 두 개의 편광판 사이에서 홀로그램과 같은 독특한 외관을 갖는 라멜라 액정상 메이크업 클렌징 제형에 관한 것이다. 라멜라 액정상을 갖는 메이크업 클렌징 제형 연구는 오래전부터 많이 시도되어 왔지만, 탁도 증가 및 점도 상승 등의 문제로 실제 상용화에는 한계가 있었다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 계면활성제의 알킬 체인에 의한 액정상의 유동성 증가와 음이온 계면활성제 도입에 따른 정전기적 반발력 증가를 이용하였다. 이를 통해 액정상의 결정화를 억제하여 안정한 액정상 제형을 확보할 수 있었다. 또한, 본 연구에서는 객관적이고 정량적인 클렌징력 평가를 위해 형광물질과 in vivo imaging system (IVIS) 장비를 이용하여 in vitro 클렌징력 평가법을 새롭게 도입하였다. 이렇게 개발된 클렌징력 평가법을 이용하여 라멜라 액정상 메이크업 클렌징 제형의 우수한 메이크업 클렌징력을 확인할 수 있었다. 한편, 본 연구에서 개발된 라멜라 액정상 메이크업 클렌징 제형을 직교 배열된 두 편광판 사이에 두면 홀로그램과 유사한 특이적인 무늬를 관측할 수 있다. 이러한 현상은 액정상 제형을 통과하는 가시광선과 라멜라 구조 사이의 간섭현상에 의한 것으로 추정된다. 클렌징 제형에서의 라멜라 구조는 소각 X선 산란분석(SAXS)을 이용하여 Bragg spacing ratio가 1 : 2의 정수비로 관찰되는 것을 통해 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통해 개발된 라멜라 액정상 메이크업 클렌징 제형은 우수한 경시 안정성과 클렌징력, 그리고 편광판 사이에서 관찰되는 홀로그램과 유사한 독특한 외관으로 인해 향후 새로운 메이크업 클렌징 제품 개발에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.
