AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The composition effectively addresses the undesirable feel and look issues of humectant-rich skin care products by providing a silky feel and natural-looking skin texture, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and pores, while maintaining even distribution and avoiding whitening or flaking.

Problems solved by technology

But glycerin is a relatively thick, sticky material and high levels of glycerin can feel undesirably sticky and heavy on the skin.
Moreover, high levels of glycerin on the skin can make it look undesirably shiny and greasy, at least in part because glycerin is slow to absorb into the skin.
However, there are tradeoffs when attempting to increase these feel and look benefits.
In some instances, the relatively high levels of powder required to provide the desired benefit may lead to products that are hard to spread on skin and / or products become noticeably white and can flake off the skin.
In some instances, even incorporating relatively high amounts of powder may still fail to provide a suitable reduction in undesirable feel properties such as tackiness.
While opacifying agents can provide a color benefit to a target skin surface, opacifying agents can also cause an increase in the visible texture of the skin, thus making undesirable textural features of the skin (e.g., wrinkles, pores, bumpy surface) more visible rather than hiding them.

examples 1-5

[0060]The following representative examples illustrate finisher compositions according to the present disclosure. The compositions in these examples are prepared by first combining the water phase ingredients in a container and mixing until uniform. The thickener is added and the water phase is mixed until uniform, and then the pH adjuster, if present, is added and the water phase is again mixed until uniform. The oil phase ingredients are combined in a separate container and mixed until uniform. The powders are next added to the oil phase and the combination is mixed until uniform. Finally, the oil / powder phase is added to the water phase and the resulting emulsion is subjected to high shear mixing (e.g., Flacktek Speedmixer, or rotor-stator mill). Table 2 shows the ingredients used to make Examples 1-5.

Impact of Glycerin

[0062]Examples 6 and 7 demonstrate the undesirable effect of high levels of humectant on the appearance attributes of a skin care product. The compositions in Examples 6 and 7 contain the same high level of silicone elastomer particles and non-volatile silicone oil, and are otherwise identical except that Example 6 contains 5% glycerin while Example 7 contains 25% glycerin.

[0063]The compositions in Examples 6 and 7 are prepared by first combining the water phase ingredients and thickener in a container and mixing until uniform. The oil phase ingredients are combined in a separate container and mixed until uniform. The particulates are next added to the oil phase and the combination is mixed until uniform. Finally, the oil / particulate phase is added to the water phase and the resulting emulsion is subjected to high shear mixing (e.g., Flacktek Speedmixer, or rotor-stator mill). Table 3 shows the ingredients used in the compositions of Examples 6 and 7.

Impact of Layers

[0066]Examples 8, 9 and 10 compare the effects of combining a moisturizing composition (i.e., conventional skin care product) with a particulate composition in an “all-in-one” composition versus applying the present finisher composition as a standalone product to an underlying layer of a skin care composition in a two-step process.

[0067]Example 10 is finisher composition comprising silicone elastomer particles prepared in substantially the same way as described above in Examples 1-5. The composition used in Example 8 is prepared by first combining the water phase ingredients and thickener in a container and mixing until uniform. The oil phase ingredients are combined in a separate container and mixed until uniform. The particulates are next added to the oil phase and the combination is mixed until uniform. Finally, the oil / particulate phase is added to the water phase and the resulting emulsion is subjected to high shear mixing (e.g., Flacktek Spe...

Abstract

A finisher composition that provides improved look and feel benefits to an underlying skin care product. The finisher composition is an oil-in-water emulsion that includes from 10 to 25 wt % of substantially spherical silicone elastomer particles having a mean particle size of from 2 to 40 microns. The oil phase of the finisher includes a non-volatile oil present at an amount to provide a weight ratio of non-volatile oil to silicone elastomer particles of from 1:10 to 3:2. The aqueous phase of the finisher includes from 20 to 85 wt % of water.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present disclosure relates to a cosmetic composition that helps improve the appearance and feel of human skin. More specifically, the cosmetic composition is a finisher composition that is applied as an overlying top layer to an underlying layer of skin care composition, thereby improving the look and feel of the treated skin.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Personal care products are well known and widely used. These products have long been employed to cleanse and moisturize, deliver actives, hide imperfections and to reduce the oiliness and shine on keratinous surfaces. Personal care products have also been used to alter the color and appearance of skin and hair. A variety of personal-care compositions are available to provide skin care benefits and to counteract what many consider undesirable “signs of skin aging,” such as fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture. Of these benefits, the look and feel of human skin are arguably the two most imp...
