Abstract

An ascorbic acid derivative composition of a first aspect according to the present invention consists of a salt of a compound (1) represented by a general formula (1) shown below; and a salt of a compound (2) represented by a general formula (2) shown below, wherein a ratio of the salt of the compound (2) with respect to a total amount of the salt of the compound (1) and the salt of the compound (2) is from 0.1 to 10% by mass, wherein R 1 represents a linear or branched alkyl group of 6 to 20 carbon atoms, R 2 represents a linear or branched alkyl group of 6 to 20 carbon atoms, and R 1 and R 2 are the same or are different from each other.

Claims (27)

1. A composition consisting of:

a salt of a compound (1) represented by formula (1) shown below; and

a salt of a compound (2) represented by formula (2) shown below,

wherein a ratio of said salt of the compound (2) with respect to a total amount of said salt of the compound (1) and said salt of the compound (2) is from 0.1 to 10% by mass,

wherein R 1 represents a linear or branched alkyl group of 6 to 20 carbon atoms, R 2 represents a linear or branched alkyl group of 6 to 20 carbon atoms, and R 1 and R 2 are the same or are different from each other.

2. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein R 1 in said formula (1) and R 2 in said formula (2) are the same.

3. The composition according to claim 1 ,

wherein each of R 1 in said formula (1) and R 2 in said formula (2) is a linear alkyl group of 15 carbon atoms.

4. The composition according to claim 1 ,

wherein each of said salt of the compound (1) and said salt of the compound (2) is a salt of at least one type of metal selected from the group consisting of an alkali metal and an alkaline earth metal.

5. The composition according to claim 1 ,

wherein each of said salt of the compound (1) and said salt of the compound (2) is a salt of at least one type of metal selected from the group consisting of sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium.

6. A solution, which is obtained by dissolving the composition according to claim 1 in at least one type of aqueous medium selected from the group consisting of water and an alcohol.

7. A skin external preparation, which comprises the composition according to claim 1 .

8. The skin external preparation according to claim 7 , wherein the skin external preparation is a cosmetic.

9. A production method of the composition according to claim 1 , wherein

the method comprises a step of mixing said salt of the compound (1) and said salt of the compound (2).

10. A production method of the composition according to claim 1 , wherein

the method comprises:

a step of obtaining a mixture of said compound (1) and said compound (2) by isomerizing a portion of said compound (1) under an acidic condition; and

a step of neutralizing said mixture.

11. The production method according to claim 10 , wherein said acidic condition is a pH of 1 to 6.

12. The skin external preparation according to claim 7 , wherein the skin external preparation comprises at least one type of aqueous medium selected from the group consisting of water and an alcohol, and said composition has been dissolved in the aqueous medium.

13. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio of the salt of the compound (2) is from 1 to 10% by mass.

14. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein each of R 1 in said formula (1) and R 2 in said formula (2) is a linear or branched alkyl group of 12 to 16 carbon atoms.

15. The production method according to claim 11 , wherein said acidic condition is a pH of 2 to 4.

16. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio of the salt of the compound (2) with respect to the total amount of the salt of the compound (1) and the salt of the compound (2) is from 5 to 10% by mass.
