Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a solid composition in the form of a compacted powder, the solid composition particularly containing a physiologically acceptable medium, particularly for coating keratin materials, and more particularly for cosmetic and / or care of keratin materials (such as skin), said compacted powder being prepared via a wet process.

[0002] Skin care and / or cosmetic compositions are often used to give skin (such as the face) an attractive color, and also to conceal skin imperfections (such as redness, marks, wrinkles and fine lines).

[0003] The primary functions of these powders are to impart color, a matte finish, and, for those specifically designed for use on the face, to enhance the staying power of foundation or, when used alone, to provide coverage (foundation powder, eyeshadow, face powder). These properties are particularly appreciated by users for their lightness, softness, non-stickiness, and non-greasy feel.

[0004] Generally, these compositions typically combine a predominantly powdered phase with a binder phase that is usually characterized by a liquid fatty phase. The powdered phase is essentially formed by fillers combined with pigments, the amounts of which are modified to provide the desired cosmetic effect, typically a coloring effect.

[0005] To obtain a composition in solid, compacted form, it is known from the prior art to use compacted cosmetic powder formed from a mixture of powder and fatty binder, for example by compression molding.

[0006] However, these compacted powders are particularly prone to breakage. Therefore, as the percentage of pigment in the product increases, its manufacturing and compaction become complex, or even impossible to perform at an industrial level due to quality and productivity requirements. Furthermore, the large amount of powdery phase in compacted powders does not impart satisfactory sensory properties when the powder is picked up from its packaging and / or when applied to the skin surface to be coated. Additionally, it is difficult for formulation designers to obtain products with good staying power on the skin. To overcome these drawbacks, if the amount of fatty binder is increased, the composition tends to become waxy, that is, harden to the point that it cannot be picked up during use.

[0007] Among the qualities desired for compacted cosmetic powders, the following can be mentioned:

[0008] - Good cohesiveness and homogenization of the composition,

[0009] - Good compaction strength,

[0010] - Good texture,

[0011] - Suitable hardness,

[0012] - Good adhesion to the skin,

[0013] - Good absorption, regardless of the applicator (as far as the product quantity is sufficient).

[0014] - Comfortable to apply; no drying effect on the skin.

[0015] - The powder has good durability properties.

[0016] - Excellent sensory properties when dipped

[0017] - Good sensory properties when the product is applied.

[0018] The practice known from the prior art for manufacturing such compositions involves using volatile organic solvents (isododecane or isopropanol) employed in wet preparation methods (referred to as wet processes) to inject one or more given foundation powders into a corresponding cup. These solvents allow the powder to fluidize and form a “slurry” and its shaping within the cup, and then evaporate it.

[0019] The compacted powder obtained by this wet process has been proposed in patent EP 2928448 B1; the powder comprises:

[0020] - Oil phase, the amount of which is greater than or equal to 20% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition;

[0021] - A powdered phase, which accounts for more than or equal to 40% by weight of the total weight of the composition, the powdered phase comprising at least one spherical filler and at least one layered filler; the spherical filler and the layered filler are present in corresponding total weight contents such that the weight ratio of the spherical filler to the layered filler is greater than or equal to 0.01, preferably between 0.02 and 15.

[0022] Patent application EP 3595620 also discloses a compacted powder containing at least:

[0023] - An oil phase, comprising at least 20% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, said oil phase comprising at least one non-volatile non-phenyl silicone oil; and

[0024] - A powdered phase, comprising at least 40% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, wherein the powdered phase contains at least mica particles; and

[0025] - At least one amorphous hydrocarbon-based block copolymer, said composition being free of untreated silicone talc particles and obtainable via a wet preparation method comprising at least the following steps:

[0026] (i) Mixing an oil phase, an amorphous hydrocarbon-based block copolymer, a powdered phase, and at least one volatile solvent to form a slurry; and

[0027] (ii) The slurry is injected into a container (cup or mold) and shaped by compaction, particularly pressing and / or suction, to obtain a composition in powder form.

[0028] These compositions obtained via wet processing contain a significant amount of layered filler comprising mica and talc in free form to maintain good injectability during production and to achieve satisfactory product deposits, cohesion, and impact strength after evaporation of the volatile solvent. The presence of the combination of talc and mica in free form tends to produce compacted powders with a glossy or satin finish. During its research, the applicant found that reducing or removing talc and / or mica in free form from these compacted powders to achieve a matte finish affected the deposition, cohesion, and / or sensory properties.

[0029] There is still a need to find novel compacted powders that are free of talc and free of mica obtained by wet processes. These novel compacted powders not only have good injectability in wet production methods, but also have good product deposition, good cohesiveness, good matte finish and good sensory properties after evaporation of volatile solvents.

[0030] The applicant has unexpectedly discovered that these objectives can be achieved using a solid composition in the form of a compacted powder, the solid composition specifically containing a physiologically acceptable medium and at least:

[0031] a) An oil phase, in an amount of at least 10.0% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, said oil phase comprising at least one non-volatile oil; and

[0032] b) A powdered phase, comprising at least 40% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, wherein the powdered phase comprises at least:

[0033] i) Perlite; and

[0034] ii) At least one spherical packing material selected from mineral packing materials, naturally derived organic packing materials, and mixtures thereof; and

[0035] iii) at least one granular colorant; and

[0036] c) at least one amorphous hydrocarbon-based block copolymer; and

[0037] d) At least one pigment; the composition is free of talc particles or mica particles in free form, and the composition is obtainable by a wet preparation method comprising at least the following steps:

[0038] 1) Mixing an oil phase, an amorphous hydrocarbon-based block copolymer, a powdered phase, and at least one volatile solvent to form a slurry; and

[0039] 2) The slurry is injected into a container and shaped by compaction, particularly pressing and / or suction, to obtain a composition in the form of compacted powder.

[0040] This discovery forms the basis of this invention. Summary of the Invention

[0041] Therefore, the first subject of the present invention is a solid composition in the form of a compacted powder, which in particular contains a physiologically acceptable medium and at least contains:

[0042] a) An oil phase, comprising at least 10% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, said oil phase comprising at least one non-volatile oil; and

[0043] b) A powdered phase, comprising at least 40% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, wherein the powdered phase comprises at least:

[0048] d) At least one pigment; the composition is free of talc particles or mica particles in free form, and the composition is obtainable by a wet preparation method comprising at least the following steps:

[0049] 1) Mixing an oil phase, an amorphous hydrocarbon-based block copolymer, a powdered phase, and at least one volatile solvent to form a slurry; and

[0050] 2) The slurry is injected into a container and shaped by compaction, particularly pressing and / or suction, to obtain a composition in the form of compacted powder.

[0051] A second subject of the invention is a method for coating keratin materials, particularly skin, and more particularly a method for applying cosmetics and / or care to said keratin materials, the method comprising applying to them a composition as defined above.

[0052] definition

[0053] In the context of this invention, the term "keratin material" specifically refers to skin (face, cheek, eyelids).

[0054] The term “physiologically acceptable” should be understood to mean that it is compatible with skin and / or its coverings, exhibits a pleasant color, smell and feel, and does not cause unacceptable discomfort (tingling, tightness) that would easily discourage consumers from using the composition.

[0055] The term "talc particles" refers to particles with the molecular formula Mg3Si4O. 10 Hydroxylated magnesium silicate particles of (OH)2 are called talc and belong to the chemical family of foli silicates. The talc particles can be untreated or surface-treated, i.e., uncoated or surface-coated, for example, by surface treatment agents selected from silicones, amino acids, fluorine derivatives, or any other substances that promote the dispersibility and compatibility of fillers in the composition.

[0056] Mica is the name of a mineral family belonging to the silicate class, specifically the phyllosilicate subclass, primarily composed of potassium aluminosilicate. It is characterized by its layered structure (phyllosilicate), which most frequently imparts shape and metallic luster to thin sheets.

[0057] The term "mica in free form" should be understood to mean any natural or synthetic mica that is not bonded to one or more compounds in the composite material structure, such as pearlescent agents containing mica as a substrate coated with metal oxides, such as titanium dioxide, iron oxide, or tin oxide.

[0058] The term "composition without talc particles" means any composition containing less than 1.0%, or even less than 0.5%, or even less than 0.1% of talc particles by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, or containing no talc particles.

[0059] The term "composition free of mica particles in free form" should be understood to mean any composition containing less than 1.0%, or even less than 0.5%, or even less than 0.1% of mica particles in free form by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, or containing no mica particles in free form.

[0060] For the purposes of this invention, the following definitions apply:

[0061] - "Solid" means the state of the composition at ambient temperature (25°C) and atmospheric pressure (760 mmHg), i.e., a highly viscous composition that retains its form during storage. In contrast, it is a "fluid" composition that does not flow under its own weight. Advantageously, it is characterized by the hardness defined below.

[0062] - "Compacted powder" means a product block whose cohesiveness is at least partially provided by compaction or preferably pressing during the manufacturing process. Specifically, by measurement using a TA.XT.plusTexture Analyser® texture analyzer sold by Stable Micro Systems, the compacted powder according to the invention can advantageously have a pressure resistance between 0.1 and 1 kg, and particularly between 0.2 and 0.8 kg, relative to the surface area of ​​the spindle used (7.07 mm² in this case). This resistance is measured by moving an SMS P / 3 flat-headed cylindrical spindle in contact with the powder at a distance of 2 mm and a speed of 0.5 mm / s; more generally, this powder can be obtained by compaction or preferably pressing.

[0063] The compositions according to the invention advantageously contain a solids content of 95% or more, preferably 98%, or even 100%.

[0064] For the purposes of this invention, the term "solid content" refers to the content of non-volatile substances.

[0065] The amount of solids content (abbreviated as SC) of the compositions according to the invention was measured using a commercial halogen dryer from Mettler Toledo, the Halogen Moisture Analyzer HR 73®. This measurement is based on the weight loss of the sample after halogen heating and drying, and therefore represents the percentage of residue once water and volatile substances have evaporated. This technique is fully described in the machine documentation provided by Mettler Toledo.

[0066] The measurement plan is as follows:

[0067] Approximately 2 g of the composition (hereinafter referred to as the sample) was spread on a metal crucible, which was then placed in the aforementioned halogen desiccator. The sample was then subjected to a temperature of 105°C until a constant weight was obtained. The wet mass of the sample (corresponding to its initial mass) and the dry mass of the sample (corresponding to its mass after halogen heating) were measured using a precision balance.

[0068] The experimental error associated with the measurement is on the order of plus or minus 2%. The solid content is calculated as follows:

[0069]

[0070] powder phase

[0071] The powdered phase contains at least:

[0072] i) Perlite; and

[0073] ii) at least one spherical packing material selected from mineral packing materials, naturally sourced organic packing materials; and

[0074] iii) At least one granular colorant.

[0075] The solid composition according to the invention has a powder phase content of greater than or equal to 40% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, and more particularly ranging from 50% to 85% by weight, and even more preferably from 60% to 80% by weight.

[0076] perlite

[0077] The perlite that can be used according to the present invention is typically an aluminosilicate derived from volcanic rock and has the following composition:

[0078] - 70.0%-75.0% by weight of silicon dioxide (SiO2)

[0079] - 12.0%-15.0% by weight of aluminum oxide (Al2O3)

[0080] - 3.0%-5.0% sodium oxide (Na₂O)

[0081] - 3.0%-5.0% potassium oxide (K₂O)

[0082] - 0.5%-2% iron oxide (Fe2O3)

[0083] - 0.2%-0.7% magnesium oxide (MgO)

[0084] - 0.5%-1.5% calcium oxide (CaO)

[0085] - 0.05%-0.15% titanium dioxide (TiO2).

[0086] Preferably, in the first step, the perlite is ground, dried, and then calibrated. The resulting product (referred to as perlite ore) is gray and has a size of approximately 100 µm. The perlite ore is then expanded (1000°C / 2 seconds) to produce 30 more or less white particles. When the temperature reaches 850°C–900°C, the water trapped in the structure of the material evaporates, causing the material to expand relative to its original volume.

[0087] The expanded perlite particles according to the present invention can be obtained by the expansion method described in patent US 5,002,698.

[0088] Preferably, the perlite particles used will be ground; in this case, they are referred to as ground expanded perlite (EMP).

[0095] The term "naturally derived organic filler" refers to any filler that is derived from plants and has undergone one or more chemical modifications, for example, through synthetic reactions.

[0096] For the purposes of this invention, the term "filler" should be understood to mean any form of colorless or white, mineral or organic, natural or synthetic solid particles that are insoluble and dispersed in the medium of the composition.

[0097] The term "spherical" should be understood to mean that the particle has a sphericity index of less than 1.2, which is the ratio between its maximum diameter and its minimum diameter.

[0098] According to a particular form of the invention, the average diameter of the spherical packing according to the invention can range from 1 to 100 μm, preferably from 1 to 50 μm, particularly less than 30 μm, and more particularly from 1 to 25 μm.

[0216] For the purposes of this invention, the term "emulsifying surfactant" should be understood to mean an amphiphilic surfactant compound, that is, a compound exhibiting two parts with different polarities. Generally, one part is lipophilic (soluble or dispersible in an oil phase), and the other part is hydrophilic (soluble or dispersible in water). Emulsifying surfactants are characterized by their HLB (hydrophilic-lipophilic balance) value, which is the ratio of the hydrophilic portion to the lipophilic portion in the molecule. The term "HLB" is well known to those skilled in the art and is described, for example, in "The HLB System. A Time-Saving Guide to Emulsifier Selection" (published by ICI Americas Inc.; 1984). For nonionic emulsifying surfactants that can be used according to this invention, the HLB range will generally be from 3 to 8.

[0225] Preparation method (wet process)

[0226] The cosmetic composition according to the present invention is obtained by a wet process comprising the following steps:

[0227] - Mix an oil phase, an amorphous hydrocarbon-based block copolymer, a powdered phase, and at least one volatile solvent to form a slurry;

[0228] - The slurry is injected into a container and then shaped in the container by compaction, particularly pressing and / or suction, to obtain the final compacted powder.

[0229] Preferably, a step of drying the slurry molded in the container is also performed.

[0230] Mixing steps

[0231] In this step, the components of the oil phase, the components of the powdered phase, and the volatile solvent are mixed to prepare a slurry, which is a thick suspension of the powdered material in a liquid formed by the oil phase and the volatile solvent.

[0232] According to the first variation, the powdered phase components and the oil phase components are premixed, and then in the second step, a volatile solvent is added to the resulting mixture.

[0233] According to the second variation, the components of the oil phase and the volatile solvent are premixed, and then in the second step, the components of the powdered phase are added to the resulting mixture.

[0234] According to a particular form of the invention, the amount of oil phase and the amount of powdered phase are such that the oil phase / powdered phase weight ratio ranges from 20 / 80 to 45 / 55, preferably from 25 / 75 to 40 / 60.

[0235] The volatile organic solvent may be selected from water, C2-C4 monohydric alcohols such as ethanol or isopropanol, ethers such as dioctyl ether, cyclic or linear volatile silicone oils, and hydrocarbons such as isoparaffins such as isododecane. Preferably, isoparaffins such as isododecane will be used.

[0236] According to the present invention, mixing with the powdered phase can be carried out using any type of mixer such as a Lodige mixer.

[0237] According to a particular form of the invention, the mixed powder may also undergo grinding, for example with an Alpine pin mill or a cutting process.

[0238] According to a particular form of the invention, the mixing of volatile solvents can be carried out in any suitable container, such as a bowl. It can be done in a planetary mixer. The required dispersion time is not limited and can depend on factors such as the type of mixer. For example, if a planetary mixer is used, the dispersion time can range from 15 to 20 minutes.

[0239] The total amount of oil phase, powdered phase, and volatile solvent is not limited. According to a specific form of the invention, the weight ratio of the total amount of oil phase and powdered phase to the amount of volatile solvent can be 5 / 1, preferably 3 / 1, and more preferably 2 / 1.

[0240] If necessary, degassing can be performed during the mixing step. The oil phase, powdered phase, and volatile solvent can be mixed in a vacuum chamber. The degassing time can depend on factors such as the pressure in the vacuum chamber. It can range from 15 to 20 minutes. Stirring the slurry is preferred for efficient degassing.

[0241] Forming steps

[0242] In this step, the slurry is poured into a container (such as a cup or mold) and then shaped within that container by compaction, particularly pressing and / or suction. Preferably, [the following method is used].

[0243] A crucible or cuvette can be used as a container. The container may have a small hole that allows the solvent to escape only by suction.

[0244] As a method for pouring slurry into a container, methods such as injection via the top of the container (top injection) or injection via the rear of the container (back injection) may be mentioned.

[0245] In the "top-injection" method, the slurry is poured into the container from above. This method is particularly suitable for preparing multi-colored compacted powders.

[0246] In the "back-injection" method, the slurry is injected through the base of the container using a suitable mechanism for introducing it into the container. In particular, a prototype back-injection machine sold by Nanyo Co. Ltd. is used.

[0247] This injection method is applicable to a wide range of compacted cosmetic powders, and is particularly suitable for obtaining compacted powders with complex shapes. The slurry introduced into the container is molded by compression and / or suction. Preferably, compression and suction are performed simultaneously.

[0248] Compaction, particularly pressing, can be carried out by applying pressure to the slurry in the container via mechanical means, such as a press having a surface that may or may not be flat (it may have an embossed surface). Suction, for example, can be performed by reducing the pressure in the container through vacuum. Compaction, particularly pressing, and suction can be repeated several times. Vibration can be applied to the container and / or the press if necessary.

[0249] Drying steps

[0250] In this step, the molded slurry is dried to obtain a compacted powder containing no or very little volatile solvent. Drying completely removes any remaining volatile solvent. The drying temperature and time depend on several factors, such as the composition and the type of volatile solvent used. For example, drying can be carried out at temperatures between 60°C and 100°C for 1 to 12 hours.

[0287] Example 1 of the eyeshadow (in this invention) and Examples 1a and 1b (not in this invention)

[0288] Prepare the following composition.

[0289]

[0290] Scheme for preparing the composition

[0291] 1. Preparation of phase A and phase B

[0292] The components of phase A and the pigment of phase B are weighed in a large stainless steel crucible.

[0293] Grind phase A in the cutting processor as follows: once at 1500 rpm for 15 seconds, then three times at 3000 rpm for 1 minute.

[0294] 2. Incorporation of phase C:

[0295] The components of phase C (excluding isododecane) are heated (in a water bath at 75°C). When phase C melts, it is stirred in a deflocculation centrifuge until a vortex is formed (approximately 300 rpm), and then introduced under stirring via the cap of a cutting processor: once every 1 minute at 1500 rpm.

[0296] The entire mixture was ground in a cutting processor as follows: once for 1 minute at 1500 rpm, then twice for 2 minutes at 3000 rpm, and once for 1 minute at 3000 rpm.

[0297] 3. Slurry preparation:

[0298] The previously obtained mixture was diluted in a large amount of isododecane to obtain a powder / solvent mixture of the desired viscosity. This paste was then injected into a base-injection (back-injection) cup using a prototype back-injection machine sold by Nanyang Corporation.

[0299] 4. Slurry injection:

[0300] Back-injection molding allows powder-solvent mixtures or slurries to be injected through the base of the cup while simultaneously extracting a portion of the diluent. Throughout the product injection process, the injection mold is placed under vacuum to allow the removal of isododecane, which is extracted by suction and recovered in a vacuum trap. Therefore, being placed under vacuum facilitates cup filling and homogenization.

[0301] The back-injected parts are then placed in a ventilated oven at 45°C until their weight no longer changes. The product is then considered dry.

[0302] Examples 1c and 1d (outside of this invention) were obtained using conventional dry methods.

[0303] The compositions of Examples 1c and 1d (which are identical to compositions 1a and 1b without isododecane) were prepared as follows:

[0304] Scheme for preparing compositions 1c and 1d by conventional dry methods

[0305] 1. Preparation of phase A and phase B

[0306] The components of phase A and the pigment of phase B are weighed in a large stainless steel crucible.

[0307] Grind phase A in the cutting processor as follows: once at 1500 rpm for 15 seconds, then three times at 3000 rpm for 1 minute.

[0308] 2. Incorporation of phase C:

[0309] The components of phase C ( Excluding isododecane Heat (in a water bath at 75°C). When phase C melts, stir it with a deflocculation centrifuge until a vortex is formed (about 300 rpm), and then introduce it with stirring through the cap of a cutting processor: once every 1 minute at 1500 rpm.

[0310] The entire mixture was ground in a cutting processor as follows: once for 1 minute at 1500 rpm, then twice for 2 minutes at 3000 rpm, and once for 1 minute at 3000 rpm.

[0311] 3. Powder compaction using a conventional press:

[0312] The bulk mixture was loaded into cups, each containing a support of a suitable size, according to the studied weight. Fabric was placed on its surface, and the cup dimensions were then imprinted. The assembled assembly was then subjected to a pressure of 40 kgf / cm². 2 It is pressed under pressure to form eyeshadow in the form of compacted powder.

[0313] This makes it possible to obtain Example 1c (composition 1a with conventional pressing) and Composition 1d (composition 1b with conventional pressing).

[0314] Measurement of impact strength:

[0315] Measurement principle

[0316] The machine used for this measurement (called the Packaging Drop Tester sold by Co Pack (Italy)) allows for drop testing of solid compositions in the form of compacted powder to measure their impact strength. The drop height is 30 cm. Using a ruler, the dimensions of the support holding the compact (depending on the crucible size) are set, and then the compact is dropped by compressed air driving the opening of the support. The number of drops required to break the powder is measured.

[0317] The test was conducted on 5 crucibles. A drop test was considered satisfactory when the average number of drops was greater than or equal to 10.
