Description

[0001] Cross-reference to related applications

[0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 17 / 960,263, filed Oct. 5, 2022, and French Application 2300105, filed Jan. 5, 2023, the content of each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Field of the Invention

[0003] This application relates to a cosmetic composition for use as a matte foundation, and in particular a foundation having a relatively high sun protection factor (SPF) value, oil control, and large depth and transparency of shadows. Background of the Invention

[0004] Conventional matte foundations that can be used for various skin pigmentations either do not contain ultraviolet (UV) filters or only contain relatively low levels of UV filters (e.g., sufficient to give an SPF of 20 or less). This is because conventional UV filter systems can compromise the characteristics required for a matte foundation. Specifically, using a high level of organic UV filter (to achieve a higher SPF) system, which will give the formulation deep shadows, but will make the refractive index too high to provide oil control and a matte surface. Conversely, using a high level of inorganic UV filter (or “physical” sunscreen) will more readily provide oil control and a matte surface, but will compromise the depth and sharpness of the shadows.

[0005] Accordingly, there is a need for a composition that can be used as a foundation that can provide the desired characteristics—high levels of oil control, a matte surface, and large depth and sharpness of shadows. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To provide the desired characteristics while providing a relatively high SPF (e.g., SPF>20), a cosmetic composition can be provided. The cosmetic composition can also provide an optical blurring effect to minimize the appearance of pores, as well as provide oil control and skin care benefits over time to improve dryness, blemishes, and signs of aging.

[0007] A cosmetic composition for providing a matte foundation may comprise an oil control filler, a colorant, a hydrocarbon oil, a hydrocarbon emulsifier, water, and a UV filter system composed of an organic hydrophobic UV filter, an organic water-soluble UV filter, and an inorganic UV filter. The oil control filler may be composed of silica aerogel and optionally modified starch, amorphous silica, clay, and / or silicone elastomer. The organic hydrophobic UV filter may be composed of octyl salicylate, and the cosmetic composition may be free of other organic hydrophobic UV filters. The organic water-soluble UV filter may be composed of 2-phenylbenzimidazole-5-sulfonic acid (PBSA), and the cosmetic composition may be free of other organic water-soluble UV filters. The inorganic UV filter may be composed of UV-grade titanium dioxide, and the cosmetic composition may be free of other inorganic UV filters.

[0011] In the following description of the present invention and in the appended claims herein, it should be understood that unless otherwise indicated, the terms used have their ordinary and customary meanings in the art. Unless otherwise indicated, all concentrations are in weight percentages based on the active substance.

[0012] As used herein, all ranges provided are meant to include combinations of each specific range and sub-ranges between the given ranges within the given range. Thus, the range of 1-5 specifically includes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, as well as sub-ranges such as 2-5, 3-5, 2-3, 2-4, 1-4, etc.

[0013] The term "matte" as used herein refers to an oil-free, non-glossy surface. As used herein, the term matte can be used to describe the surface provided by a composition to a substrate, such as matting oily or combination skin; and to describe the surface of a composition on a substrate, such as the matte film of a lipstick on the lips. In some cases, the degree of matte of a composition can be measured by measuring the reflectance R of the composition using a gonioreflectometer, where R is the ratio of specular reflection to diffuse reflection. The lower the value of R, the higher the oil control effect. Preferably, R is less than 1.6. In some cases, the glossiness of the film (expressed as % reflectance) is also measured using a glossmeter to measure the degree of matte of the composition on the substrate, where a lower reflectance has a higher degree of matte. Preferably, the reflectance can be 5% or less.

[0014] The term "substantially free of" as used herein means that a particular material can be present in an amount less than 1 wt% based on the total weight of the composition and does not substantially affect the basic and novel features of the claimed invention. In some cases, the composition can contain less than 0.5 wt.%, less than 0.1 wt.%, less than 0.05 wt.% or less than 0.01 wt.% of the specified material, or be completely free of the specified material.

[0021] Silica aerogels are porous materials obtained by replacing (by drying) the liquid component of a silica gel with air. They are typically synthesized in a liquid medium via the sol-gel method and then typically dried by extraction with a supercritical fluid (one of the most commonly used is supercritical CO2).

[0022] The hydrophobic silica aerogel particles used in the present invention have a specific surface area (SM) per unit mass in the range of 500 to 1500 m 2 / g, preferably 600 to 1200 m 2 / g, and more preferably 600 to 800 m 2 / g, and a size expressed as the average volume diameter (D[0.5]) in the range of 1 to 30 μm, preferably 5 to 25 μm, more preferably 5 to 20 μm, and even more preferably 5 to 15 μm. The specific surface area per unit mass can be determined via the BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) nitrogen adsorption method described in Journal of the American Chemical Society, Volume 60, page 309, February 1938, and corresponds to International Standard ISO5794 / 1 (Appendix D). The BET specific surface area corresponds to the total specific surface area of the particles under consideration.

[0023] The size of the silica aerogel particles can be measured by static light scattering using a commercial particle size analyzer such as the MasterSizer 2000 machine from Malvern. The data is processed according to Mie scattering theory. This theory (which is exact for isotropic particles) enables the determination of an "effective" particle size in the case of non-spherical particles.

[0024] In some embodiments, the hydrophobic silica aerogel particles may have a diameter ranging from 600 to 800 m 2 The specific surface area per unit mass (S M ) and a size expressed as an average volume diameter (D[0.5]) ranging from 5 to 20 μm, and more preferably from 5 to 15 μm.

The oil absorption measured at the wet point (denoted Wp) corresponds to the amount of water that needs to be added to 100 g of particles to obtain a homogeneous paste. It is measured according to the wet point method or the method for determining the oil absorption of powders described in standard NFT 30-022. It corresponds to the amount of oil adsorbed onto the available surface of the powder and / or adsorbed by the powder by measuring the wet point.

[0027] In some embodiments, the silica aerogel may be a hydrophobic silica aerogel, and may preferably be silica silylate (INCI name: SILICA SILYLATE).

[0028] As used herein, the term "hydrophobic silica" refers to any silica whose surface is treated with a silylating agent, such as a halogenated silane such as an alkylchlorosilane, a siloxane, in particular a dimethylsiloxane such as hexamethyldisiloxane or a silazane, so as to functionalize the OH groups with silyl groups Si-Rn (e.g., trimethylsilyl). In some embodiments, the silica aerogel may be hydrophobic silica aerogel particles surface-modified with trimethylsilyl groups. Non-limiting examples of silica aerogels include aerogels sold by Dow Corning under the name VM-2260 (INCI name: Silica Silylate), the particles of which have an average size of about 1000 μm and a range of 600 to 800 μm. 2The specific surface area per unit mass in g; aerogels sold by Cabot Corporation under the numbers Aerogel TLD 201, Aerogel OGD 201 and Aerogel TLD 203, Enova Aerogel MT 1 100 and Enova Aerogel MT 1200.

In some embodiments, the spherical silica is "natural" silica, that is, without a hydrophobic surface treatment, and may have a chemical purity of at least 90%, such as at least 95% or at least 98%, relative to the silica. In some embodiments, the average size of these spherical amorphous silica particles is less than 15.0 microns, and more particularly in the range of 3 to 10 microns.

[0037] Useful spherical amorphous silica particles according to the present invention are colorless or white solid particles of any shape, which are in an insoluble form and dispersed in the medium of the composition.

If used, such clay may be modified clay or natural clay, and is preferably non-swelling clay. In some embodiments, the clay may be, for example, kaolin.

[0041] Silicone elastomer.

[0042] If included, the amount of silicone elastomer present in the composition will typically be at least 0.5 wt%, or at least 0.75 wt%, or at least 1 wt% of the composition. It will typically be at most 1 wt%, or at most 1.5 wt%, or at most 2 wt% of the composition.

[0043] The silicone elastomer should be an oil-control silicone polymer. The silicone elastomer may be a non-emulsified silicone elastomer. As used herein, the term "non-emulsified" means an organopolysiloxane elastomer that does not contain hydrophilic chains, particularly polyalkylene oxides (especially polyoxyethylene or polyoxypropylene) or polyglycerol units. Thus, according to some embodiments, the composition may contain a silicone elastomer that does not contain polyalkylene oxide units and polyglycerol units.

[0044] Non-limiting non-emulsified elastomers are described in U.S. Patent No. 8,637,057, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety, and those sold by Shin-Etsu under the names KSG-6, KSG-15, KSG-16, KSG-18, KSG-41, KSG-42, KSG-43 and KSG-44, by Dow Corning under the names DC 9040, DC 9041, DC 9509, DC 9505 and DC 9506, and by General Electric under the name SFE 839.

[0045] The silicone elastomer can be in the form of a gel or a powder.

[0046] In some embodiments, the silicone elastomer can be delivered in the form of a gel formed from an elastomeric organopolysiloxane contained in at least one hydrocarbon oil and / or a silicone oil. In these gels, the organopolysiloxane particles are generally non-spherical particles. Non-limiting examples of silicone elastomers useful in the present invention are polydimethylsiloxane crosslinked polymer gels (blends of polydimethylsiloxane crosslinked polymers in a solvent) having viscosity values of about 150 and to about 700 mm 2 / s, about 200 to about 650 mm 2 / s and about 300 to about 600 mm 2 / s, including all ranges and sub-ranges therebetween.

[0047] Non-limiting examples of silicone elastomer gels include DC EL-8040ID (INCI name: isododecane (and) polydimethylsiloxane crosslinked polymer) and DC EL-9140DM (INCI name: polydimethylsiloxane (and) polydimethylsiloxane crosslinked polymer) provided by Dow Corning.

[0048] Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, it is believed that the silicone elastomer thickens the composition, increases the buffering (sponge) effect and / or improves the application properties of the cosmetic composition. In addition, it provides a very soft feel and an oil control effect after application.
