The present invention relates to a method of suppressing coloration of catechins, which contains adding, to catechins, a water-soluble polymer forming a water-insoluble complex with catechins, as well as hydrogel particles containing a water-insoluble complex between catechins and a polymer forming a water-insoluble complex with catechins. Further, the present invention relates to a dentifrice composition containing hydrogel particles containing catechins and a polymer forming a water-insoluble complex with catechins, a binder and water.

Method of suppressing coloration of catechins and a dentifrice composition

A hydrogel particle contains a continuous phase portion of non-crosslinked hydrogel and a large number of disperse phase portions dispersed in the continuous phase portion. Each of the large number of disperse phase portions is a solid phase containing an oil component and particles of zinc oxide dispersed therein.

Hydrogel particle

A skin cosmetic composition comprising: a hydrogel particle comprising a non-crosslinked hydrogel containing an oil component therein dispersed in an aqueous medium; a hydrogel particle comprising a non-crosslinked hydrogel containing an oil component therein; and a process for preparing a hydrogel particle comprising the steps of discharging an oil component-emulsified or dispersed solution prepared by dissolving a non-crosslinked hydrogel in an aqueous solution, with vibration from an orifice to form droplets; and cooling the droplets to solidify.

Skin cosmetic composition

A cosmetic composition having excellent application feeling and transparency while maintaining covering power which includes (a) composite particles obtained by allowing at least two kinds of particles having different shapes and particle diameters to contact with at least one polymer compound selected from the group consisting of fluorinated polymer compounds, silicone polymer compounds, and mixture thereof, in the presence of supercritical carbon dioxide, and (b) a cosmetic component.

Cosmetic composition

A process for preparing a solid particles-containing emulsion comprising mixing an oil droplets-in-water emulsion with lipophilic solid particles or a dispersion thereof, thereby allowing to include the lipophilic solid particles in the oil droplets. The solid particles-containing emulsion can be suitably used in paints, inks for ink jet printers, fiber-treated agents, coating materials, adhesives, skin cosmetics, hair cosmetics, and the like.
