COMBINATION OF COMPOUNDS TO REPLACE SILICONE IN COSMETIC PRODUCTS AND COSMETIC COMPOSITIONSFIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] . The present invention relates to the combination of specific compounds, including natural and biodegradable biodegradable products to replace the use of silicone in various cosmetic compositions. More specifically, in the production of products for cleaning and / or treating hair, such as shampoo, conditioners, masks, anti-frizz products, etc.

[0002] . The present invention also relates to products for use in cleansing, moisturizing and / or treating hair comprising a combination of compounds in their composition instead of silicone.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] . In recent years, concern about the environment and sustainability has become ever greater. In this way, the search for product development and production processes to meet new consumer demands has been growing and, consequently, companies have been looking for alternatives in the development of sustainable products or green products.

[0004] . In addition, the search for a sustainable lifestyle has formed the "green consumer", responsible for stimulating the repositioning of companies in relation to the formulation of beauty products and the application of sustainability in their production processes, which has led to the creation of more biodegradable products and "green cosmetics", which include organic, natural and vegan cosmetics.

[0005] . "Green" cosmetics are already a well-established trend in the European and American markets. In the US, organic or naturalpersonal care products already account for 10% of sales. The demand for green products comes about for various reasons, including the perception that they are healthier and safer, or because they are less aggressive to the environment.

[0006] . Against this backdrop, the global cosmetics market has been undergoing major changes to meet the new demand. These changes can be accompanied by the introduction of new ingredients in product formulations, including vegetable raw materials or the substitution of certain raw materials for more natural ones, as well as the need to offer products from sustainable sources whose processes are more socially and environmentally responsible. Therefore, to meet the needs of today's consumers, the cosmetics industry has been looking for new alternatives to obtain sustainable products.

[0007] . The main changes observed in the cosmetics industry are related to the search for substitutes for petroleum-derived ingredients, synthetic preservatives, diethanolamides, silicone, ammonia, etc.; the introduction of new, more sustainable production processes; new product designs; and the development of new raw materials, among others.

[0008] . The development of more sustainable cosmetics, including "green cosmetics", is linked to various aspects relating to the raw materials and their containers, the steps involving the production chain and contact with the consumer. In this scenario, there are significant obstacles to the formulation and development of "green" products. The restriction of ingredients is characterized as one of the most relevant problems when formulating a natural cosmetic. The significant reduction in raw material options available for use is confirmed by the fact that, out of the 22,000 different chemical products established by the International Cosmetic NomenclatureSystem (INCI), only 10% of them can be considered natural. This problem is usually contoured by formulators by opting to use synthetic ingredients that appear natural, which ends up compromising the green characteristic of the product (Romanowski, P. The Challenges of formulating natural cosmetics. Chemists Corner, 2020, August 8; https: / / chemistscorner.com / the-challenges-offormulating-natural- cosmetics / ).

[0009] . Hair care products such as shampoos, conditioners, leavein creams, hair oils and hair masks are among the most sought-after personal care items, and hair masks, are among the personal care items most sought after by consumers, who are increasingly demanding in terms of the chemical composition of the products and their production processes, as well as concerns about esthetics, wellbeing and the quality of the environment.

[0010] . In the cosmetics industry, it's almost impossible to find a product that doesn't contain silicones: shampoos, hair masks, leavein, make-up, creams, lipsticks, masks, serums, hair oils, body butter, deodorants, etc. Silicone is an ingredient present in almost every cosmetic product on the market due to its emollient properties that help soften and moisturize the skin and hair.

[0011] . More specifically, in the case of hair cleansing and / or treatment compositions, silicone is widely used in the production of hair care products. Because, in addition to the tactile sensory effect of velvety, soft, non-greasy and dryness that they offer to formulations, making the final formulation pleasing to the consumer, silicone helps to combat various problems that arise on a daily basis. It acts as an end repairer, controls frizz, combats dryness and gives hair more shine. It also protects hair from external aggressions such as pollution, dust, chlorine, humidity and the sun's rays.

[0012] . However, silicone is a synthetic ingredient that is not biodegradable and can cause damage to the environment when disposed of incorrectly. In addition, some people may have allergies or sensitivities to silicone, which can cause problems with the skin or scalp.

[0013] . In addition, silicone is not accepted in "green" compositions. Therefore, for the development of "green" products, the replacement of silicone becomes essential, and it becomes a great challenge for researchers in the cosmetics industry to develop products without silicone and with qualities and functionalities close to or equal to those of products containing silicone.

[0014] . In this sense, the search for more sustainable and natural products has exerted a great influence on researchers looking for industrial solutions using alternative techniques and renewable raw materials to create more efficient products and processes that are less expensive and reduce or eliminate the use and generation of substances that are harmful to human health and the environment.

[0015] . Thus, with a focus on this new need and seeking improvements over the state of the art, including the development of product alternatives with cosmetic and personal hygiene functions, the researchers of the present invention have developed a specific mixture of compounds to replace silicone in the production of cosmetic compositions for cleaning and / or treating hair, such as shampoo, conditioners, masks, anti-frizz etc. It is important to note that, in the state of the art, despite the tireless search for silicone substitutes, there is no solution equivalent to the one presented by the present invention, which combines technical advantages, greater safety in production, economic advantages and environmental preservation.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0016] . The main objective of this invention is to combine specific compounds, including natural and biodegradable products to replace silicone in various cosmetic compositions. Preferably cosmetic compositions for cleaning and / or treating the hair, such as shampoo, conditioners, masks, anti-frizz, leave-in creams, hair oils, etc.
