Abstract
Description
[0001] Title of the invention: PACKED COSMETIC COMPOSITION
[0002] [1] Technical field
[0003] [2] The invention belongs to the field of cosmetics, in particular emulsions, and more particularly expanded emulsions, and their uses in cosmetic care, makeup, sun protection and hair care of keratin materials, preferably body, lips, faces, hands, feet and / or hair, more particularly to that of compositions such as cosmetic compositions in the form of creams, moisturizing, nourishing, repairing and perfuming balms, nourishing, moisturizing, repairing and shining hair masks, defining curls, anti-frizz or even makeup products with a moisturizing benefit in the form of a tinted product, and products for the cheeks, lips, complexion and eyes.
[0004] [3] The present invention relates to an expanded cosmetic composition comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium, an oily phase dispersed in an aqueous phase and a gas, comprising:
[0005] - from 40 to 64% by mass, relative to the total mass of the dispersion, of an aqueous phase comprising a gelling agent chosen from gums and polyacrylates, and at least one anionic surfactant having a hydrocarbon chain, saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched and comprising more than 16 carbon atoms, and
[0006] - from 36 to 60% by mass, relative to the total mass of the dispersion, of an oily phase comprising a butter having a melting point in a range from 20°C to 60°C, preferably from 20°C to 55°C, and a solid fatty substance having a melting point strictly above 60°C, and
[0007] - from 40 to 100% by volume, relative to the total volume of the dispersion, of gas, preferably 80 to 90%, preferably air or nitrogen. The composition according to the invention is in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion, in which a certain quantity of gas, preferably air or nitrogen, has been incorporated, an expanded emulsion or foam. The invention also relates to the use of this expanded emulsion in cosmetic compositions such as emulsions, for example in the form of creams, moisturizing, nourishing, repairing and perfuming balms, nourishing, moisturizing, repairing and shining hair masks, defining curls, anti-frizz or even makeup products with a moisturizing benefit in the form of a tinted product, and products for the cheeks, lips, complexion and eyes.
[0008] [4] The applicant is the creator of Botanical Cosmetics and has been promoting natural cosmetics since 1959. Its research into raw materials and its expertise in formulation drive it to innovate to create ever more natural formulas to satisfy the consumer and create scientific value. In order to limit its impact on the environment, the applicant is pursuing an innovation approach to substitute ingredients derived from non-renewable and non-easily biodegradable resources. This represents a major challenge in certain cosmetic categories, as it is imperative to simultaneously guarantee the safety, efficacy and sensoriality of the products for consumers.
[0009] [5] State of the art
[0010] [6] Foamed emulsions are known, particularly in the food industry. Unfortunately, this type of formulation has many disadvantages, such as having a short shelf life and a shorter best before date than a non-foamed product. Also, this type of composition often imposes constraints in terms of transport or storage, the temperature of which must be controlled to guarantee the stability of the foam. In the field of cosmetics, similar problems arise, and this type of storage and transport constraints is not economically and ecologically viable for a cosmetic product.
[0011] [7] It is nevertheless interesting to provide this type of product, particularly for the benefits they provide to end users. Cosmetic compositions in the form of foamed emulsions are versatile and thus have the advantage of offering both rich and airy textures. This format makes it possible to offer fun, non-greasy textures with an original sensory experience. Indeed, in the field of cosmetics, the senses usually stimulated by products are the senses of touch and smell. By offering this type of texture, it is possible to broaden the sensory palette of the end user by stimulating a new sense of hearing by offering crisp, crackling experiences.Products rich in fat (such as butters, waxes, fatty alcohols) often have the disadvantage of being difficult to spread. By offering a whipped version, we can improve the spreading of these products by making them less difficult to slow down.
[0012] [8] Foamed emulsions, in the field of cosmetics, however, present an additional challenge in that it is often complicated to work with an emulsion that is robust enough to be able to receive and retain air, while being able to withstand a high shear rate during foaming. Then, the heat and transport stability of this type of formula remains complicated. Indeed, cosmetic products are often intended to be sent to different countries with different climates. The stability must therefore be sufficient so that the foamed emulsion can withstand harsh transport conditions (trucks, boats, mail order) at different temperatures (which can fluctuate from -20°C up to 40°C), and still have a best before date between 24 and 36 months.
[0013] [9] Document FR 2850017 ([1]) describes a cosmetic composition in the form of a mousse. However, as shown in the examples below, the formula described is not stable after 8 days at 50°C.
[0014]
[0010] Document EP 2042154 ([2]) also describes a cosmetic composition in the form of a mousse. Again, as shown in the examples below, the described formula is not stable for 8 days at -20°C, and begins to destabilize at 50°C. The 40°C drop test is also not in accordance with stability expectations.
[0015]
[0011] There is therefore a real need to provide a cosmetic composition in the form of an aerated H / W emulsion which makes it possible to limit or avoid the phenomena described above, that is to say a composition allowing an airy, non-greasy texture with a crunchy grip (that is to say to obtain a rich and airy non-greasy texture which will make it possible to broaden the range of sensory stimuli of the end user when using the product) and innovative while being stable during transport and heat, capable of combining a satisfactory sensory experience for the end user and good stability while remaining economically viable for the manufacturer.
[0012] Detailed description of the invention
[0016]
[0013] It is to the applicant's credit to propose a new expanded cosmetic composition comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium, an oily phase dispersed in an aqueous phase and a gas, comprising:
[0017] - from 40 to 64% by mass, relative to the total mass of the dispersion, of an aqueous phase comprising a gelling agent chosen from gums and polyacrylates, and at least one anionic surfactant having a hydrocarbon chain, saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched and comprising more than 16 carbon atoms, and
[0018] - from 36 to 60% by mass, relative to the total mass of the dispersion, of an oily phase comprising a butter having a melting point in a range from 20°C to 60°C, preferably from 20°C to 55°C, and a solid fatty substance having a melting point strictly above 60°C, and
[0019] - from 40 to 100% by volume, relative to the total volume of the dispersion, of gas, preferably 80 to 90%, preferably air or nitrogen and which, when used or incorporated into a cosmetic composition, gives it prolonged stability (at least 3 months at 40°C as well as transport at hot or room temperature), optimal comfort of use without losing quality compared to a known foamed composition. The new composition according to the invention allows a greatly extended shelf life compared to conventional foamed compositions. The composition according to the invention allows the inclusion of a large quantity of butter while limiting the greasy finish and remaining sufficiently airy. It is a texture which brings sensory pleasure to the end user, that is to say a diversified sensory palette by stimulating the senses of touch and hearing through this playful texture.Also, in the cosmetics field, no cold storage implies stable and economically viable products for the manufacturer, but also greater flexibility for the end user.
[0020]
[0014] The cosmetic composition according to the invention is very versatile and can in particular be incorporated into any type of product comprising this type of emulsion, such as a cream, a milk, a cast emulsion and / or a colored emulsion such as a BB cream, a foundation.
[0015] The invention thus relates to an expanded cosmetic composition comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium, an oily phase dispersed in an aqueous phase and a gas, comprising:
[0021] - from 40 to 64% by mass, relative to the total mass of the dispersion, of an aqueous phase comprising a gelling agent chosen from gums and polyacrylates, and at least one anionic surfactant having a hydrocarbon chain, saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched and comprising more than 16 carbon atoms, and
[0022] - from 36 to 60% by mass, relative to the total mass of the dispersion, of an oily phase comprising a butter having a melting point in a range from 20°C to 60°C, preferably from 20°C to 55°C, and a solid fatty substance having a melting point strictly above 60°C, and
[0023] - from 40 to 100% by volume, relative to the total volume of the dispersion, of gas, preferably 80 to 90%, preferably air or nitrogen.
[0024]
[0016] An emulsion is understood to mean a heterogeneous mixture of two immiscible liquid substances, one being dispersed in the form of small droplets in the other. These are generally two liquids which do not mix spontaneously (immiscible), such as water and oil, but which, thanks to specific operations (stirring, mixing, addition of some active ingredients), will adopt a macroscopically homogeneous, but microscopically heterogeneous, appearance. One of the substances will be dispersed in the second substance in the form of droplets. The mixture remains stable thanks to a third ingredient called an "emulsifier" (speed or kinetics of evolution of the mixture almost zero). An over-expanded emulsion, for example a foam, resembles an emulsion but also includes a gas, air or nitrogen for example, dispersed in the form of bubbles in the emulsion.Another important difference between foams and emulsions is the volume fraction of the dispersed phase (gas), which is generally much higher in the more stable foams.
[0025]
[0017] Thus, by expanded cosmetic composition, we mean a cosmetic composition comprising;
[0026] - an oil-in-water (O / W) emulsion (or dispersion), i.e. an oily phase dispersed in an aqueous phase, and - a volume of gas, such as air or an inert gas such as nitrogen.
[0027] The cosmetic composition according to the invention can thus be presented in the form of a mousse.
[0028]
[0018] Preferably, the total sum of the % by mass of the aqueous phase and the oily phase is equal to 100.
[0029]
[0019] Advantageously, the cosmetic composition according to the invention may have a density in the range from 0.5 to 0.7, preferably from 0.5 to 0.65. The density may be adjusted, depending on the intended applications, in particular by controlling the quantity of gas incorporated in the composition. A low density, of the order of 0.5, will be preferred for applications such as very airy and stable ones, for example for light textures such as facial cosmetic treatments. A high density, of the order of 0.7, will be preferred for less airy textures and applications such as massage balms.
[0030]
[0020] Gelling agent is understood to mean a macromolecule of natural or synthetic origin capable of forming gels by trapping a large quantity of solvent, generally water, in a three-dimensional network.
[0031]
[0021] Advantageously, the gelling agent may be a gelling agent of natural origin. The gelling agent of natural origin is preferably chosen from gums. It may be chosen from xanthan gum, succinoglycan gum, sclerotium gum, cellulose gum & microcrystalline cellulose optionally comprising a sphingomonas ferment extract, gellan gum, hydroxypropyl starch phosphate, and mixtures thereof, preferably chosen from xanthan gum and succinoglycan gum.

[0033]
[0023] Advantageously, in the cosmetic composition according to the invention, the mass concentration of gelling agent is within a range from 0.2 to 1%, relative to the total mass of the dispersion formed by the aqueous phase and the oily phase. Preferably, the mass concentration of gelling agent is within a range from 0.3 to 0.8%, by mass relative to the total mass of the dispersion.
[0034]
[0024] A surfactant or surface agent or surfactant (word borrowed from English) is a compound that modifies the surface tension between two surfaces. Surfactant compounds are amphiphilic molecules, that is to say they have two parts of different polarity, one lipophilic (which retains fatty substances) is apolar, the other hydrophilic (miscible in water) is polar. They thus make it possible to solubilize two immiscible phases, by interacting with one apolar (that is to say lipophilic therefore hydrophobic), by its hydrophobic part; while with the other phase which is polar, it will interact by its hydrophilic part. Anionic surfactant is understood to be a surfactant whose hydrophilic part is negatively charged.
[0035]
[0025] Advantageously, the anionic surfactant may be chosen from glutamates, lactylates, phosphates and mixtures thereof, preferably from sodium stearoyl glutamate, sodium stearoyl lactylate and potassium cetyl phosphate.
[0036]

[0084] Examples
[0104]
[0085] The invention is further illustrated by the following examples, in a non-limiting manner.
[0105]
[0086] Example 1: composition according to the invention
[0106] The following composition A (Table 6) was prepared according to the procedure described below, in Table 7.
[0107] [Table 6]
[0108] Table 6: Composition A [Table 7]
[0109]
[0087] Example 2: stability test
[0110]
[0088] The stability of composition A of Example 1 is tested. The test conditions are described below.
[0111]
[0089] To evaluate cold and heat storage, the pots were placed in several enclosures: a refrigerator at 4°C, a freezer at -20°C, and three ovens at RT, 40°C and 50°C.
[0112]
[0090] Composition A was evaluated according to the criteria: appearance (absence of release, absence of loss of volume and visual morphology of the bubbles), color (absence of color difference such as for example yellowing), odor (absence of non-compliant odors and presence of perfume), taken at each temperature. These criteria were compared to 4°C which is the control sample. At room temperature, the pH of the formula was also evaluated to verify that it is still within acceptable standards.
[0091] The stability criteria were observed: For 12 months at RT and 4°C, for 3 months at 40°C, for 1 month at -20°C, for 15 days at 50°C.
[0113]
[0092] The stability test results are shown in Table 8 below:
[0114] [Table 8]
[0093] The stability results are consistent at different temperatures over time.
[0115]
[0094] To evaluate the transport stability and heat simultaneously the following predictive test was implemented. The objective of this test was to mimic possible shocks that a product could undergo during transport. This test consists of placing the sample in a cardboard box which will undergo four falls from a height of 90 cm. The conformity of the tested pots was compared to a control pot which did not undergo shocks according to the same criteria: appearance, color, odor. This test made it possible to quickly evaluate the robustness of composition A during shocks.
[0116]
[0095] The results are presented in Table 9 below:
[0117] [Table 9] shock, at temperature of composition A.
[0118]
[0097] Example 3: transport conditions
[0119]
[0098] To validate the robustness of our expanded dispersion during transport, the samples underwent drop and vibration tests which follow the procedure described in the procedure Packaged-Products for Parcel Delivery System Shipment 70 kg (150 lb) or Less, ISTA 3A, March 2018. The samples will be pre-conditioned and then packed in a carton according to ISO 2206 standards. Each carton will undergo:
[0120]
[0099] Two sequences of vertical impacts. The distances and points of impact are described in Table 10 below.
[0121]
[0100] [Fig. 1] Figure 1 shows a representation of the cardboard, with the numbers of the faces, edges and corners. [Table 10]
[0122] [TOI] After each vertical shock sequence a 30-minute vibration test sequence will be carried out. The cardboard is placed on the vibration table on its face 3 and random vibrations will be applied (Grms = 0.46).
[0102] The results are shown in Table 11 below:
[0123] [Table 11]
[0124] 103] Conclusion: Composition A is robust against transport.
[0125]
[0104] Example 4: comparison of the stability of the foamed cosmetic composition of the invention with that of the foaming cosmetic compositions of documents FR 2850017 and EP 204215
[0126]
[0105] The composition of the invention (Table 12), the composition of document FR 2850017 (Table 13) and the composition of document EP 204215 (Table 14) were prepared respectively according to the procedures described in Tables 15 (procedure of the invention), 16 (procedure described in document FR 2850017) and 17 (procedure described in document EP 204215).
[0127] [Table 12]
[0128] [Table 13]
[0129] [Table 14]
[0130] [Table 15]
[0131] [Table 16]
[0132] [Table 17]
[0106] The stability of the three compositions is tested, according to a protocol similar to that described in examples 2 and 3 above.
[0133]
[0107] To evaluate cold and heat storage, the pots were placed for 8 days in several enclosures: a freezer at -20°C, and three ovens at RT, 40°C and 50°C.
[0108] To evaluate the robustness of the three compositions, they underwent drop tests.
[0134]
[0109] Results:
[0135]
[0110] The composition of the invention was found to conform to stability expectations, with the following results: - For the drop test at room temperature: intact foamy appearance; slight displacement of the foam, - At 40°C: foamy appearance with slight enlargement of the bubbles; very little loss of volume,
[0136] - For the drop test at 40°C: foamy appearance with slight enlargement of the bubbles; little loss of volume.
[0111] The composition of document FR 2850017 is not stable after 8 days at 50°C
[0137] (the volume is divided by two when we look at the height of the cream in the pot), which is not the case with the composition of the invention.
[0138]
[0112] The composition of document EP 204215 is not stable at 8 days -20°C, and begins to destabilize at 50°C. The 40°C drop test is also non-compliant.
