Description

Title of the invention: Solid COSMETIC composition

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of hygiene and cosmetics, and more precisely to the field of solid cleansing cosmetic compositions comprising surfactants used for cleaning the skin or appendages.

[0002] The compositions in liquid form include water which can lead to the possibility of microbial growth and ecological problems due to the use of large quantities of water and the requirement to use preservatives.

[0003] There is also a growing demand for cosmetic compositions whose ingredients are bio-sourced and do not cause harmful effects on the skin or appendages.

[0004] It is therefore important to obtain solid foaming compositions in solid form which, while preserving the integrity of the skin and hair, are pleasant to use, i.e. which quickly transform into foam and are easy to rinse.

[0005] Within the scope of the present application, a certain number of definitions must be given.

[0006] The term "solid" means an object characterized on a macroscopic scale by a determined volume and shape, constant in the absence of any external force or extreme condition.

[0007] "Percentage by mass" means a quantity defined as a percentage between the mass of a compound and the total mass of a composition comprising it. For example, if 10 grams of a compound y are present in a composition z having a total mass of 100 grams, then the percentage by mass of y in z is 10%.

[0008] "Mass ratio" means the ratio between the mass of two compounds present in the same composition. For example, if a composition comprises 3 grams of compound f and 1 gram of compound g, then the mass ratio f / g is 3 / 1 or 3.

[0009] A composition according to the invention may also comprise other ingredients, in particular binders, solvents, absorbent agents, skin conditioning agents, hair conditioning agents, emulsion stabilizers, foaming agents, emollients, missing agents, pH regulators, opacifiers, as well as other cosmetically acceptable ingredients.

[0010] In one embodiment, the solid cosmetic composition according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises less than 10% water, as a percentage by mass relative to the total mass of said solid cosmetic composition.

[0011] In one embodiment, the solid cosmetic composition according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises less than 5% water, as a percentage by mass relative to the total mass of said solid cosmetic composition. In one embodiment, the solid cosmetic composition according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises less than 2% water, as a percentage by mass relative to the total mass of said solid cosmetic composition. In one embodiment, the solid cosmetic composition according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises less than 1% water, as a percentage by mass relative to the total mass of said solid cosmetic composition.

[0012] In one embodiment, the surfactants are chosen from the group of anionic surfactants and more particularly acylglutamates in the form of sodium salts for their non-irritant and non-delipidating properties. Indeed, acylglutamates, whatever the fatty chain, do not eliminate the lipids from the intercellular cement essential for the proper water retention of the horny layer due to their selective cleansing power.

[0013] US6482782 discloses solid cosmetic compositions intended for cleaning the skin or appendages comprising acylglutamates in the form of triethylamine salts. Triethanolamine or more commonly called TEA is a basic tertiary amine, by using it as a counterion of acylglutamates it is used as a pH adjuster, for its surfactant and emulsifying properties.

[0014] But the manufacture of this tertiary amine is extremely polluting and it is suspected of being toxic to the skin.

[0015] In one embodiment, the solid cosmetic composition according to the invention is characterized in that it is free of triethanolamine salts.

[0016] In most solid cosmetic compositions intended for cleaning the skin or appendages, the surfactant sodium cocoyl isethionate or SCI, which is a surfactant derived from coconut oil and presented in the form of granulated powder, is used. It is used in combination with Sodium coco sulfate or SLSA, in particular to formulate solid shampoos while providing a rich and creamy foam. Although it is sulfate-free, this surfactant resulting from reactions using ethylene oxide is not compatible with an ecological approach, and its use in combination with Sodium coco sulfate or SLSA results in the presence of sulfate in large quantities in the formulations.

[0017] In one embodiment, the solid cosmetic composition according to the invention is characterized in that it is free of sodium cocoyl isethionate or SCI.

[0018] In one embodiment, the solid cosmetic composition according to the invention is characterized in that it is free from Sodium coco sulfate or SLSA.

[0019] The use of acylglutamates in the form of sodium salts in solid formulations does not allow the composition to be easily solidified and, above all, formulations which foam cannot be obtained, because sodium cocoyl glutamate in particular does not foam.

[0020] Surprisingly, a solid composition intended for cleaning the skin or appendages comprising more than 50% of surfactants chosen from the group of acylglutamates in the form of sodium salts has been able to be developed with satisfactory solidification and foam formation properties.

[0021] The invention relates to a solid composition intended for cleaning the skin or appendages comprising more than 50% of surfactants chosen from the group of acylglutamates in the form of sodium salts.

[0022] In one embodiment, it relates to a composition, characterized in that the acylglutamates are chosen from the group consisting of sodium lauroyl glutamate, disodium cocoyl glutamate and sodium myristoyl glutamate.

[0025] In one embodiment, it relates to a composition, characterized in that the sodium myristoyl glutamate content is in mass percentage between 5 and 15%.

[0026] In one embodiment, the composition further comprises at least one non-ionic surfactant chosen from the glucoside family, such as decylglucoside or Decyl-[3-D-glucopyranoside.

[0027] In one embodiment, it relates to a composition, characterized in that the content of decylglucoside or Decyl-[3-D-glucopyranoside] is in mass percentage between 5 and 15%

[0028] In one embodiment, the composition further comprises at least one catalytic or conditioning surfactant chosen from plant-derived products, such as the mixture designated under the INCI code arachidyl / behenyl betainate isylate (and) arachidyl / behenyl alcohol.

[0029] In one embodiment, it relates to a composition, characterized in that the content of INCI arachidyl / behenyl betainate isylate (and) arachidyl / behenyl alcohol is in mass percentage between 3 and 10%.

[0030] The composition according to the invention also has the advantage of being easily hydratable on the surface in contact with water or a wet surface at the time of use.

[0031] In one embodiment, the solid cosmetic composition according to the invention is characterized in that it further comprises a perfume.

[0032] In one embodiment, the solid cosmetic composition according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises between 0.1 and 1.5% of said perfume, as a percentage by mass of said solid cosmetic composition.

[0038] In one embodiment, the solid cosmetic composition according to the invention is characterized in that said solid cosmetic composition has a volume of between 100 and 300 cm3.

[0039] In one embodiment, the solid cosmetic composition according to the invention is characterized in that it is in the form of a parallelepiped, a cylinder, a bar, a sphere or a cube.
