Description

Title of the invention: FILM-FORMING COMPOSITION COMPRISING A COMBINATION OF TWO MODIFIED STARCHES FIELD OF INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a film-forming composition comprising an association of at least two modified starches, and at least one plasticizing agent.

[0002] The invention also relates to a cosmetic composition comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium, a film-forming composition according to the invention.

[0003] The invention further relates to the cosmetic use of a film-forming composition according to the invention or of a cosmetic composition comprising it for the care and / or protection of keratinous materials. STATE OF THE ART

[0004] Film-forming agents are known in cosmetics for their ability to form a covering film on keratinous materials.

[0005] When applied to keratinous materials, film-forming agents allow, for example, the hydration or protection of keratinous materials, by providing a barrier effect.

[0006] We know, for example, of peelable or "peel-off" masks which are aqueous film-forming compositions applied to the skin to form, after a given drying time, a solidified film which is removed by gently pulling on the film which has formed.

[0007] The occlusive effect provided by the film-forming texture of the peelable masks allows for the moisturizing and softening of the upper layer of the skin and promotes the penetration of the active ingredients present in the composition according to the desired action, for example, anti-aging, radiance, anti-spot, moisturizing, astringent, sebum-regulating.

[0008] Peelable masks still have an exfoliating and purifying action which is ensured at the time of removal of the mask by carrying away with it dead cells, impurities and excess sebum.

[0009] However, the majority of film-forming compositions available on the market use synthetic polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) or polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), silicone resins, or modified celluloses as film-forming agents. These synthetic compounds are often difficult to rinse off or remove. Furthermore, consumers, who are more knowledgeable about the cosmetic products they use, are looking for more natural alternatives.

[0010] To meet this need, the substitution of synthetic ingredients with in- ingredients of natural origin have developed.

[0011] For example, applications WO2020 / 201067 and WO2020 / 128253 are known for providing a film-forming cosmetic composition comprising the combination of a specific legume starch with a plasticizing system comprising at least one polyol in order to provide a cosmetic composition capable of forming a protective film on the skin that can be removed by peeling or washing. In particular, a hydrolyzed and alkylated starch, especially a hydroxypropyl starch, is used in these applications.

[0012] We also know of application WO2016 / 016315 for the supply of a peelable cosmetic mask, comprising a film-forming agent complex composed of two natural film-forming agents, hydrolyzed maize starch and pullulan.

[0013] However, the applicant has discovered that prior art film-forming compositions are not entirely satisfactory. Known film-forming compositions often exhibit insufficient adhesion, which can make application to keratinous materials difficult, and the resulting covering film is often unsatisfactory in terms of mechanical properties, potentially being difficult to apply and remove, for example.

[0014] There is therefore a need for a film-forming composition comprising film-forming agents of natural origin, which is satisfactory in terms of stability, capable of forming, when applied to keratinous materials, a thin, homogeneous and flexible covering film having good mechanical properties and which can be easily removed by peeling and / or by simple rinsing with water.

[0015] To this end, the applicant has surprisingly discovered that by combining two specific modified starches in the presence of a plasticizing system, a synergy can be established to provide a film-forming composition with good adhesion after application to keratinous materials and capable of forming a thin, homogeneous and flexible covering film, having improved mechanical properties, which can be easily removed by peeling and / or by simple rinsing with water.

[0016] The present invention thus aims to provide a film-forming composition comprising:

[0017] - from 1% to 80% of a combination of at least two modified starches; and

[0018] - from 1% to 50% of at least one plasticizing agent,

[0019] the percentages being expressed in weight relative to the total weight of the composition.

[0020] The present invention also aims to provide a cosmetic composition comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium, a film-forming composition according to the invention.

[0021] The present invention further relates to the cosmetic use of a film-forming composition according to the invention or of a cosmetic composition comprising it for the care and / or protection of keratinous materials.

[0022] In particular, the present invention relates to the cosmetic use of a film-forming composition according to the invention or of a cosmetic composition comprising it to form, on at least one area, keratinous materials, a covering film having properties of care for keratinous materials such as softening, moisturizing, protective, regenerating, sebum-regulating, cleansing or purifying properties of keratinous materials.

[0023] Advantageously, the film-forming composition according to the invention, or the cosmetic composition containing it, has the advantage of spreading over keratinous materials without running and dries in less than 20 minutes to form a sufficiently thin and flexible covering film to produce a second-skin effect. The covering film formed has improved mechanical strength and can be easily removed by peeling and / or by simple rinsing with water.

[0024] More particularly, the covering film formed is peelable, that is to say, it can be removed by peeling after a certain time of application on keratinous materials.

[0025] Advantageously, the peelable film obtained from the film-forming composition according to the invention or from the cosmetic composition containing it, has improved mechanical properties and in particular sufficient resistance to breakage allowing it to be removed in one go without causing tearing when peeling off.

[0154] The present invention will be better understood by reading the following examples which illustrate the invention in a non-limiting way.

[0155] The composition according to Example 1 is prepared according to any method known to a person skilled in the art for the preparation of cosmetic compositions, using the ingredients described in Table 1 below.

[0156] All percentages mentioned for compositions in the examples below are percentages by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.

[0157] Example 1: Composition of an anti-blemish mask according to the invention

[0158] Table 1 below presents an example of an anti-blemish mask composition according to the invention in the form of an aqueous gel.

[0159] [Tables 1] INCI % w / w Aqua 46.50 Ethyl alcohol 20.00 Hydroxypropyl starch 15.00 Hydroxypropyl starch phosphate 8.00 Glycerin 5.00 Sorbitol (hydrogenated starch hydrolysate) 3.00 Xanthan gum 0.30 Zinc PCA / copper PCA 1.10 Pigments 0.50

[0160] The composition according to example 1 is in the form of an aqueous gel having a viscosity of 12000 Pa.s - 18000 mPa.s, measured at room temperature (20°C) and room pressure, using a Brookfield RV DV viscometer with a type 4 mobile, at a speed of 10 revolutions / minute.

[0161] An amount of 0.02 to 0.05 g / cm2 of the composition according to example 1 was applied in a thin layer to an area of ​​keratinous material of approximately 2 cm2. When applied to the area to be treated, the composition according to example 1 does not run and spreads easily to form a thin and uniform film in the form of a gel, on the treated area.

[0162] The film formed was then left to dry at room temperature to lead to the formation of a thin, homogeneous and flexible peelable film after a drying time of between 15 min and 20 min.

[0163] A usage test was carried out on a panel of 10 people. The peelable film obtained could be removed by peeling in one go without causing any tearing during removal.

[0164] Also, the stability of the composition according to example 1 was evaluated at different temperatures, up to 50°C and at different periods, up to 36 months.

[0165] During the test period, no impact of temperature increase was observed on the physicochemical properties (pH, viscosity), organoleptic parameters and performance, showing good stability of the film-forming composition over time.

[0166] Example 2: Comparative Examples

[0167] Examples 2A and 2B below show the advantage of using a combination of two specific modified starches to obtain a film-forming composition with good adhesion after application to keratinous materials and capable of forming a thin and homogeneous covering film with good mechanical properties, allowing it to be removed in one piece without causing tearing when peeling off.

[0168] Table 2 below shows the composition according to example 1 in which hydroxypropyl starch (example 2A) and hydroxypropyl starch phosphate (example 2B) are used alone.

[0169] [Tables2] INCI Ex. 1 % w / w Ex. 2A % w / w Ex. 2B % w / w Aqua 46.50 46.50 46.50 Ethyl alcohol 20.00 20.00 20.00 Hydroxypropyl starch 15.00 23.00 0.00 Hydroxypropyl starch phosphate 8.00 0.00 23.00 Glycerin 5.00 5.00 5.00 Sorbitol 3.00 3.00 3.00 Xanthan gum 0.30 0.30 0.30 Active ingredients 1.10 1.10 1.10 Additives 0.50 0.50 0.50

[0170] In Example 2A, corresponding to the removal of hydroxypropyl starch phosphate, a peelable film is obtained after application to an area of ​​keratinous material. However, the resulting film-forming composition does not exhibit good adhesion, making it difficult to spread. This is therefore unsatisfactory for user comfort. The composition is also not stable over time.

[0171] In example 2B, corresponding to the removal of hydroxypropyl starch, the resulting film-forming composition is in the form of an aqueous gel that is too thick and difficult to scoop and spread on the skin, leading to the formation of a peelable film that is too thin, very weak, and therefore difficult to remove. This is also unsatisfactory for user comfort.

[0172] Further tests were carried out by reducing the amount of hydroxypropyl starch phosphate. However, the compositions obtained lacked stability and led to the formation of a poor-quality covering film.
