Abstract
Description
[0001] Silicone-free care composition for keratinous materials
[0002] The present invention relates to a composition, preferably cosmetic, comprising in a physiologically acceptable aqueous medium: a) hydrogenated lecithin, b) at least one thickener chosen from acrylic polymers and acrylamide polymers, c) lauroyl lysine or one of its salts, and d) isopropyl isostearate, said composition being substantially free from silicone.
[0003] Numerous care products, intended in particular to keep the skin bright and wrinkle- free, the signs of young skin, for as long as possible, have been developed. These products comprise one or more active agents having demonstrated biological efficacy in respect of skin aging.
[0004] However, in addition to the benefits of these products on skin, consumers also seek pleasant sensory properties at the time of application, and / or after application. Hence, these products conventionally contain silicone compounds.
[0005] However, the formulation of environmentally friendly cosmetic products, i.e. the design and development of which account for environmental concerns, is becoming a major concern to help meet global challenges.
[0006] It has therefore become essential to propose more sustainable compositions and / or preparation processes and / or ingredients to meet these environmental challenges.
[0007] In this context, it is important to develop novel cosmetic compositions with a better carbon footprint, in particular by promoting the use of renewable raw materials and / or those with a good wilderness quality index and / or of natural origin, and more particularly those of plant origin, while reducing the use of compounds of petrochemical origin.
[0008] Therefore, there is in particular a need for novel care compositions having comparable sensory properties to existing care compositions, while being devoid of silicone compounds.
[0009] There is in particular a need for care compositions devoid of silicone compounds having comparable sensory properties to existing care compositions at the time of application, as well as a pleasant sensation after application.
[0010] Thus, the present invention relates to a composition, preferably cosmetic, comprising in a physiologically acceptable medium: a) hydrogenated lecithin, b) at least one thickener chosen from acrylic polymers and acrylamide polymers, c) lauroyl lysine or one of its salts, and d) isopropyl isostearate, said composition being substantially free from silicone.
[0011] Indeed, the inventors surprisingly discovered that the specific association of lauroyl lysine or one of its salts and isopropyl isostearate makes it possible to solve the technical problems mentioned above. This association advantageously makes it possible to remove silicone compounds without degrading the sensory properties of the composition, at application and after application.
[0012] These compositions further comprise sustainable ingredients, helping to meet environmental challenges.

The quantities of each ingredient are expressed as a mass ratio with to the total weight of the composition.
[0101] [Table 1 ] Example 2: Evaluation of the composition according to the invention C2 and comparative compositions C1 *, C3*, and C4*
[0102] The composition according to the invention C2 and comparative compositions C1 *, C3* and C4* were tested by a panel of testers, who were requested to evaluate six parameters using 11 -point rating scales ranging from 0 to 10.
[0103] The parameters evaluated are as follows:
[0104] - Ease of application: 0 if formula is very easy to apply and 10 if very difficult
[0105] - Slip at application: 0 if glides very well and 10 if glides very poorly
[0106] - Penetration rate - 0 if very slow penetration and 10 if very rapid penetration
[0107] - Leaves skin sticky: 0 if skin was not sticky and 10 if skin was very sticky
[0108] - Leaves skin greasy: 0 if skin is not greasy and 10 if skin is very greasy
[0109] - Leaves skin fresh: 0 if skin is not fresh and 10 if it is very fresh.
[0110] The results obtained are given in the table below. The scores of compositions C2, C3* and
[0111] C4* are expressed in relative terms with respect to the scores of composition C1 *. [Table 2]
