Description

Title of the invention: Long-lasting compositions containing an acid-functional silicone elastomer and a block copolymer FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to compositions comprising at least one acid-functional silicone elastomer and at least one block copolymer. Among other improved or beneficial properties, these compositions exhibit surprisingly good stability, long wear, adhesion and / or transfer resistance properties. discussion of the context

[0002] Many cosmetic compositions, including pigmented cosmetics such as foundations, mascaras, and lipsticks, have been formulated with the goal of possessing long-lasting properties upon application. Unfortunately, many of these compositions generally do not possess both good long-lasting / transfer-resistant properties and good application, comfort, and / or appearance (e.g., matte or glossy properties) properties.

[0003] For example, with respect to lip compositions, commercial products containing silicone resins such as MQ resins are known. Such products are known to provide good long-lasting properties and / or transfer resistance. However, these products have poor application properties and / or poor feel upon application (e.g., a rough feel). Therefore, a second composition (top coat) is separately applied over these products to improve the poor properties of the compositions and make the products acceptable to consumers. In addition, the top coat composition must be continually reapplied to keep the product acceptable to consumers, meaning that the products are effectively not "long-lasting" as they require constant maintenance and reapplication.

[0004] Similarly, with respect to foundations, these products may exhibit good long-lasting and / or transfer-resistant properties. However, these long-lasting / transfer-resistant products may have poor application and / or poor feel upon application, as well as poor appearance properties.

[0005] Compositions containing a block copolymer are known. For example, US 8,778,323, US 2007 / 0 258 923, US 2014 / 0 105 838, EP 2 707 404, WO 2012 / 156 630, US 2014 / 0 105 838, WO 2013 / 190 708, CN 104 619 307, EP 2 863 871, US 2015 / 0182440, and WO 2013 / 191303 may be relevant.

[0006] Furthermore, compositions containing silicone elastomers are known. For example, documents US 8 987 373, US 9 150 703, US 9 150 726, US 9 175 139, US 9 181 433, US 9 200 146, US 2015 / 0 073 059, WO 2012 / 098 116, US 2007 / 0 053,859, US 7,790,148, US 8,697,039, US 2010 / 0 297 050, US 7 378 103, CN1 781 476, EP 1 579 845, US 2005 / 0 220 728 and EP 2 665 522 may be relevant.

[0007] However, there remains a need for improved compositions having improved cosmetic properties, particularly good stability, wear, transfer resistance, adhesion, feel and / or appearance upon application.

[0008] Accordingly, one aspect of the present invention is a composition for caring for and / or making up and / or treating keratinous materials which has good cosmetic properties such as, for example, good stability, good wear resistance, good transfer resistance, good adhesion, good feel and / or appearance properties upon application.

[0014] The present invention also relates to methods of enhancing the appearance of keratinous materials such as, for example, lips, skin or eyelashes, by applying compositions of the present invention to a keratinous material in an amount sufficient to enhance the appearance of the keratinous material.

[0015] It is understood that the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are only exemplary and explanatory, and are not restrictive as to the invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] As used herein, the term "at least one" means one or more and therefore includes individual components as well as mixtures / combinations.

[0017] “Film former” or “film-forming agent” as used herein, means any material such as, for example, a polymer or a resin which leaves a film on the substrate to which it is applied.

[0018] “Polymer” as used herein means a compound consisting of at least two monomers.

[0019] “Keratinous materials” includes keratin-containing materials such as hair, skin, eyebrows, lips and nails.

[0020] “Substituted” as used herein (unless otherwise indicated), means comprising at least one substituent. Non-limiting examples of substituents include atoms, such as oxygen atoms and nitrogen atoms, as well as functional groups, such as hydroxyl groups, ether groups, alkoxy groups, acyloxyalkyl groups, oxyalkylene groups, polyoxyalkylene groups, carboxylic acid groups, amine groups, acylamino groups, amide groups, halogen-containing groups, ester groups, thiol groups, sulfonate groups, thiosulfate groups, siloxane groups, hydroxyalkyl groups, and polysiloxane groups. The substituent(s) may be further substituted.

[0021] “Volatile” as used herein means having a flash point less than about 100°C.

[0022] “Non-volatile” as used herein means that the flash point is greater than about 100°C.

[0023] “Anhydrous” means that the compositions contain less than 1% water. Preferably, the compositions of the present invention contain less than 0.5% water, and preferably no water.

[0024] By "transfer" is meant in the present document the displacement of a fraction of a composition that has been applied to a keratinous material by contact with another substrate, whether of the same or different nature. For example, when a composition such as an eye shadow, an eyeliner or a mascara has been applied, the composition may be transferred to the hands by rubbing or by contact of the hands with the eyes. As a further example, when a composition such as a lipstick has been applied, the composition may be transferred to the teeth or hands, or to the cheek of another person. Regardless of the type of composition, the composition may also be transferred from the keratinous material to another substrate. ratineer on which it has been applied to another substrate such as napkins, collars or necklaces, glasses, cups or other containers.

[0025] "Transfer resistance" as used herein refers to the transfer resistance quality of a composition. To determine transfer resistance, one may evaluate and compare the amount of composition transferred from a keratinous material to a substrate. For example, a composition may be transfer resistant if, after application to a keratinous material such as lips, skin, or eyelashes and contact with a substrate, a majority of the composition remains on the user. Further, the amount transferred may be compared to that transferred by other compositions, such as commercially available compositions. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, little or no composition is transferred to the substrate from the keratinous material.

[0026] “Long-lasting” compositions as used herein refer to compositions wherein the compositions, after application to a keratinous material, do not transfer or spread after contact with another substrate and retain a consistent appearance on the keratinous material for an extended period of time. “Long-lasting” compositions, as used herein, may also refer to compositions whose color remains the same or substantially the same as at the time of application, as seen by the naked eye, after an extended period of time. Long-lasting properties may be evaluated by any method known in the art for evaluating such properties.For example, long-lasting properties may be assessed by a test involving the application of a composition to keratinous materials such as skin, eyelashes, or lips and the evaluation of the color of the composition after an extended period of time. For example, the color of a composition may be evaluated immediately after its application to the keratinous material and these characteristics may then be re-evaluated and compared after a period of time. In addition, these characteristics may be evaluated relative to other compositions, such as commercially available compositions. In addition, long-lasting properties may be evaluated by applying a sample, allowing it to dry, and then abrading the sample to determine sample removal / loss.

[0027] The composition of the present invention may be in any form, liquid or non-liquid (semi-solid, soft solid, solid, etc.). For example, it may be a paste, a solid, a gel or a cream. It may be an emulsion, such as an oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion, a multiple emulsion, such as an oil-in-water-in-oil emulsion or a water-in-oil-in-water emulsion, or a solid, rigid or flexible gel. The composition of the invention may, for example, comprise an external or continuous fatty phase. The composition may also be a molded or cast composition in the form of a stick or dish.

[0028] The compositions and methods of the present invention may comprise, consist of, or consist essentially of the essential elements and limitations of the invention described herein, as well as any additional or optional ingredients, components, or limitations described herein or otherwise useful in personal care.

[0029] In accordance with the present invention, compositions comprising at least one acid-functional silicone elastomer and at least one block copolymer are provided.

[0030] When the compositions are foundations, the compositions preferably have improved or beneficial non-transfer properties with respect to water, sweat, sebum, saliva and / or oil, matting properties, and / or comfort on application.

[0031] When the compositions are mascaras, the compositions preferably have improved or beneficial non-transfer properties against water, sweat, sebum, saliva and / or oil, shine properties, and / or glide upon application.

[0032] When the compositions are lip compositions, the compositions preferably have improved or beneficial non-transfer properties against water, sweat, sebum, saliva and / or oil, and / or shine properties.

[0033] Acid-functional silicone elastomer

[0034] In accordance with the present invention, compositions comprising at least one acid-functional silicone elastomer are provided. An “acid-functional silicone elastomer” is a compound that comprises a siloxy (Si-O) group linked to another moiety having one or more acid functional groups, preferably one or more carboxy functional groups. Acid-functional silicone elastomers are described or referenced in US patent application 2016 / 0 199 286.

[0035] Preferably, the acid-functional elastomer has the general formula: ABA or BAB, wherein each A independently comprises a polysiloxane moiety having at least two siloxy (Si—O) groups and wherein each B independently comprises a moiety, or a precursor thereof, having at least two carboxyl groups and wherein B is bonded to a silicon atom in A.

[0036] According to preferred embodiments, the acid-functional elastomer has at least two siloxy (Si—O) groups and at least two carboxyl groups and is the product of a reaction of a first component having at least one reactive group; a second component having at least one reactive group; and a third component having at least two reactive groups reacting with the reactive groups of the first and second components to bond the first component to the second component.

[0037] According to preferred embodiments, the at least one reactive component of the first component and the second component are independently selected from a hydroxyl group or an amine group and wherein the at least two reactive groups of the third component are anhydride groups. In more specific embodiments, the first and second components are selected from siloxanes having at least one hydroxyl group or organic alcohols having at least one hydroxyl group and the third component is a siloxane having at least two terminal anhydride groups. In other more specific related embodiments, the first and second components are selected from siloxanes having at least one amine group or organic amines having at least one amine group and the third component is a siloxane having at least two pendant anhydride groups.

[0038] According to preferred embodiments, the at least one reactive component of the first component and the second component are anhydride groups and wherein the at least two reactive groups of the third component are hydroxyl groups or amine groups. In more specific related embodiments, the first and second components are siloxanes and the anhydride groups of these first and second components are pendant. In some of these embodiments, the third component is selected from i) an organic polyol having at least two hydroxyl groups; ii) a third siloxane having at least two hydroxyl groups; iii) an organic polyamine having at least two amine groups; or iv) a third siloxane having at least two amine groups.

[0039] According to preferred embodiments, each of the first and second reactive components may be chemically (or physically) the same, such as two distinct molecules of the same reactive component (or type). For example, the first and second reactive components may be provided together, such as in a "Part A" (or Side A) of a system for forming the elastomer of the present invention. Alternatively, the first and second reactive components may be provided separately, particularly when they are different from each other. This may be useful for formulation purposes. However, separation is not necessary, as the first and second reactive components are typically inert with respect to each other.

[0040] The third reactive component may be provided separately from the first and second reactive components, for example in a "Part B" (or B-side) of a system for forming the elastomer of the present invention. If the elastomer, or the cosmetic composition, includes one or more optional additives, the additive(s) may be included in either, all, or a combination of parts of the system. The system may include more than two parts. Optionally, various types of conventional additives may be used depending, for example, on the end use of the cosmetic composition. The present invention is not limited to any particular arrangement of the system, nor to any particular additive(s).

[0041] According to preferred embodiments, the siloxanes used to form the elastomers of the present invention consist of siloxane linkages (Si—O—Si) within each of their backbones. Alternatively, each of the siloxanes may include siloxane linkages separated by one or more divalent groups, for example, a -CH2- linking group. Other examples of suitable divalent groups include polyether groups, for example, a —CH2CH2O— linking group (i.e., an EO group), a —CH(CH3)CH2O— linking group (i.e., a PO group), etc. Combinations of different divalent groups may be present within each of their backbones. Each of the divalent groups may be single or repeated, for example, 2 times, 5 times, 10 times, >10 times, etc. In some embodiments, the first and second siloxanes are free of polyether groups.

[0042] According to preferred embodiments, each of the siloxanes comprises at least one [SiR2—O—] unit (D or R2SiO2 / 2 units). Typically, each of the siloxanes has repeating D units, which generally constitute linear portions of the siloxanes. The siloxanes also typically have terminal R3SiO1 / 2 units (M units). In these embodiments, R is an independently selected substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbyl group.

[0043] According to preferred embodiments, each of the siloxanes described herein may optionally be branched, partially branched, and / or may include a resinous portion having a three-dimensional network structure. In such embodiments, the respective siloxane may further comprise RSiO3 / 2 units (T units) and / or SiO4 / 2 units (Q units). Branching of the siloxane itself, or of the resinous portion of the siloxane, if present, may be attributable to the presence of T and / or Q units. Branching may also be attributable to the side groups of one or more D units. In various embodiments, the siloxanes are free of T units, Q units, or both T and Q units. Where more than one siloxane is described, the siloxanes may be the same or different, e.g., one is linear and one is branched, both are branched, both are linear, etc.

[0044] According to preferred embodiments, the acid-functional elastomer corresponds to the general formula: R^Si~-o-qsiR l R 4 ---o^^ [SiR l R 4 —O—J^SiR^

[0045] or (CH3 )3Si^™[Si(CH3 'jSi(CH3)R 4 —OH~Si(CH3)3

[0046] wherein R1 is an independently selected substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbyl group. By "substituted" in this context is meant that one or more hydrogen atoms of the hydrocarbon may be replaced by atoms other than hydrogen (e.g., a halogen atom), or a carbon atom in the chain of R1 may be replaced by an atom other than carbon, i.e., R1 may include one or more heteroatoms within the chain, such as oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen, etc. Examples of suitable hydrocarbyl groups represented by R1 include alkyl, aryl, alkenyl, alkaryl, and aralkyl groups. Preferably, R1 is an independently selected alkyl group having 11 to 20, 1 to 15, 1 to 10, 1 to 6, 1 to 4 or 11 to 2 carbon atoms, or any number of carbon atoms in between.Specific examples of suitable alkyl groups as R1 include methyl groups, ethyl groups, propyl groups, butyl groups, pentyl groups, etc. Typically, R1 is a methyl group (i.e., --CH3).

[0047] R2 is preferably a pendant anhydride group of the following general formula (A):

[0048] where R3 is a divalent group. Preferably, R3 is a hydrocarbylene, heterohydrocarbylene or organoheterolene group, R3 preferably being (CH2)n, where n is an integer selected from 1 to 30, 1 to 25, 1 to 20, 1 to 15, 1 to 10, 1 to 5 or 1 to 3, or any intermediate number. Most preferably, n is 3.

[0049] Each of R4 and R5 may be an independently selected substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbyl group. Examples of suitable groups for each of R4 and R5 are those described for R1. In some embodiments, each R4 is an independently selected alkyl group, an aryl group, or a (R6O)m group. If R4 is a (R6O)m group, R6 is typically an alkyl group or an aryl group, and m is an integer selected from 1 to 50, 1 to 25, 1 to 10, 1 to 5, or 1, or any number in between. The (R6O)m group may also be referred to as a polyether group. In some embodiments, R4 is an independently selected alkyl group having from 2 to 20, 2 to 15, 2 to 10, 2 to 5, or 2, carbon atoms, or any number of carbon atoms in between. In some embodiments, R4 may be a silicone side chain of the siloxane. The groups represented by the subscripts w, x, and y may be present in any order in the respective siloxane, including a different order than that shown above. In addition, these groups may be present in random or block form. Preferably, R4 is either an alkyl group or a polyether group.

[0050] Preferably, w is an integer selected from zero (0) to 1000, 0 to 950, 0 to 750, 0 to 500, 0 to 400, 1 to 350, 1 to 300, 25 to 250, 50 to 200, 50 to 150, 75 to 125, 90 to 110, 90 to 100, or 90 to 95, or any number in between. In a specific embodiment, w is 93. Typically, x is an integer selected from 1 to 100, 1 to 75, 1 to 50, 1 to 25, 1 to 20, 1 to 10, or 1 to 5, or any number in between.

[0051] According to preferred embodiments, w and y are not simultaneously equal to 0. In other words, in these embodiments, each of the first and second siloxanes includes at least one D unit associated with each of the x units and at least one of the w and y units. In some embodiments, the sum w+x+y is 25 to 1500, 25 to 1000, 25 to 900, 25 to 800, 25 to 700, 25 to 600, 25 to 500, 25 to 400, 25 to 300, 50 to 200, 75 to 150, 85 to 125, or 90 to 110, or any intermediate number.

In this way, each of the first and second siloxanes has at least one of the pendant anhydride groups, and may have other side groups based on the presence of one or more D units associated with w and y.

[0052] The acid-functional silicone elastomer is preferably present in the compositions of the present invention in an amount of active solids ranging from about 0.5% to about 15%, preferably from about 0.75% to about 10%, and most preferably from about 1% to about 6%, by weight based on the total weight of the composition, including all intermediate ranges and sub-ranges. It is to be understood that acceptable ranges of acid-functional silicone elastomer present in the compositions of the invention include 2% to 15%, 2% to 10%, 2% to 6%, 2% to 5%, 5% to 15%, 5% to 10% and 5% to 6% by weight based on the weight of the composition.

[0053] BLOCK COPOLYMER

[0054] According to preferred embodiments of the present invention, compositions comprising at least one block copolymer are provided. The block copolymers of the present invention are characterized by the presence of at least one "hard" segment, and at least one "soft" segment. In addition to their compositional nature, the hard and soft segments of the block copolymers of the present invention are defined in terms of their respective glass transition temperatures "Tg". More particularly, the hard segment has a Tg of about 50°C or higher, while the soft segment has a Tg of about 20°C or lower. The glass transition temperature Tg for the hard block may be from about 50°C to about 150°C; from about 60°C to about 125°C; from about 70°C to about 120°C; or from about 80°C to about 110°C. The glass transition temperature Tg for the soft segment of the block copolymer may be from about 20°C to about -150°C; from about 0°C to about -135°C; from about -10°C to about -125°C; and from about -25°C to about -100°C. A more thorough explanation can be found in US Patents 5,294,438 and 6,403,070.

[0055] The block copolymer of the present invention is a thermoplastic elastomer. The hard segments of the thermoplastic elastomer typically comprise vinyl monomers in varying amounts. Examples of suitable vinyl monomers include, but are not limited to, styrene, methacrylate, acrylate, a vinyl ester, a vinyl ether, vinyl acetate, and others.

[0056] The block copolymer of the present invention comprises at least one hard segment which is styrene.

[0057] The soft segments of thermoplastic telastomer typically comprise olefin polymers and / or copolymers which may be saturated, unsaturated, or combinations thereof. Suitable olefin copolymers may include, but are not limited to, ethylene / propylene copolymers, ethylene / butylene copolymers, propylene / butylene copolymers, polybutylene, polyisoprene, polymers of hydrogenated butanes and isoprenes, and mixtures thereof.

[0058] Thermoplastic elastomers useful in the present invention include block copolymers, for example, di-block, tri-block, multi-block, radial and star block copolymers, and blends thereof. A di-block thermoplastic elastomer is generally defined as an AB type or a hard segment (A) followed by a soft segment (B) in sequence. A tri-block is generally defined as an ABA type copolymer or a ratio of a hard segment, a soft segment and a hard segment. Multi-block or radial block or star block thermoplastic elastomers usually contain any combination of hard and soft segments, provided that the elastomers possess both hard and soft characteristics.

[0059] In preferred embodiments, the thermoplastic elastomer of the present invention may be selected from the Kraton™ class of rubbers (Shell Chemical Company) or similar thermoplastic elastomers. The rubbers Kraton™ are thermoplastic elastomers in which the polymer chains comprise a di-block, tri-block, multi-block, or radial or star block configuration or many mixtures thereof. Kraton™ tri-block rubbers have polystyrene (hard) segments at each end of a rubber (soft) segment, while Kraton™ di-block rubbers have a polystyrene (hard) segment attached to a rubber (soft) segment. The radial or star configuration of Kraton™ rubbers may be a four-point star or other multi-point star consisting of rubber with a polystyrene segment attached to each end of a rubber segment. The configuration of each of the Kraton™ rubbers forms separate domains of polystyrene and rubber.

[0060] Each Kraton™ rubber molecule is said to comprise segments of styrene monomer unit sequences and rubber monomer and / or comonomer units. The most common structure for the Kraton™ tri-block copolymer is the linear ABA block type styrene-butadiene-styrene, styrene-isoprene-styrene, styrene-ethylenepropylene-styrene, or styrene-ethylenebutylene-styrene. The Kraton™ di-block is preferably of the AB block type such as styrene-ethylenepropylene, styrene-ethylenebutylene, styrene-butadiene, or styrene-isoprene. The Kraton™ rubber configuration is well known in the art and any block copolymer elastomer of similar configuration is within the practice of the invention. Other block copolymers are sold under the brand name Septon (which represents elastomers known as SEEPS, sold by Kurary, Co., Ltd) and those sold by Exxon Dow under the brand name Vector™.

[0061] Other thermoplastic elastomers useful in the present invention include block copolymer elastomers comprising a styrene-butylene / ethylene-styrene copolymer (triblock), an ethylene / propylene-styrene copolymer (radial or star block), or a mixture of the two. (Some manufacturers refer to the block copolymers as hydrogenated block copolymers, e.g., hydrogenated styrene-butylene / ethylene-styrene copolymer (triblock)).

[0062] The amounts of the block (co)polymer(s), as well as their structure (di-block, tri-block, etc.), affect the nature of the thermoplastic elastomer, including its gel form, which can range from brittle to soft / flexible to firm. For example, soft gels contain relatively high amounts of soft segments, and firm gels contain relatively high amounts of hard segments. The overall properties of the composition can also be affected by including more than one such block copolymer, for example, by including a blend of copolymers. For example, the presence of tri-block copolymers enhances the integrity of the film formed. The gel can also be transparent, translucent, or opaque, depending on the other cosmetically acceptable ingredients added, as described in this document.

[0063] Although the block copolymers of the present invention comprise styrene, it is preferred that the styrene content of the block copolymer be less than 40 wt%, preferably less than 30 wt%, and more preferably less than 20 wt%, based on the weight of the block copolymer, and preferably greater than 5 wt%, preferably greater than 7 wt%, and most preferably greater than 10 wt%, including all intermediate ranges and sub-ranges such as, for example, 10%-30%, 6%-22%, 5%-40%, etc. This is due to the tendency of block copolymers having a styrene content greater than 40 wt% to harden / gel in conventional carrier systems.However, in the case where a block copolymer having a styrene content greater than 40% by weight is used, it may be necessary to also employ a co-solvent or functional ingredient capable of dissolving a styrene block in an amount effective to control the curing / gelling of the styrene-containing compound in the cosmetic composition.

[0064] A particularly preferred block copolymer for use in the present invention is a combination of di-block and tri-block styrene-ethylene / butylene-styrene (SEBS) copolymers, commercially available from Shell Chemical Company under the trade name Kraton G1657M. It should be noted, however, that any thermoplastic elastomer of the block copolymer type having at least one soft segment and at least one hard segment may be used without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[0065] The block copolymer will preferably have a solubility parameter, relative to the tacky component, of δ + 2, more preferably δ + 1.7, more preferably δ + 1.5, more preferably δ + 1.3, more preferably δ + 1.0, more preferably δ + 0.7, more preferably δ + 0.5, and more preferably δ + 0.3.

[0066] The block copolymer is preferably present in the compositions of the present invention in an amount of active solids ranging from about 0.5% to about 30%, preferably from about 0.75% to about 20%, and preferably from about 1% to about 10%, by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, including all intermediate ranges and sub-ranges. In preferred embodiments, the compositions of the present invention contain at least about 2% by weight of the total weight of the composition, preferably at least about 5% by weight of the total weight of the composition, of the block copolymer. It is understood that acceptable ranges of block copolymer present in the compositions of the invention include 2%-30%, 2%-20%, 2%-10%, 2%-5%, 5%-30%, 5%-20% and 5%-10% by weight relative to the weight of the composition.

[0067] According to preferred embodiments, a sufficient amount of block copolymer is added to the composition of the present invention to increase the strain sweep of the composition by an amount at least 5 times as compared to the strain sweep of the same composition without the block copolymer (comparator), preferably at least 10 times the strain sweep of the comparator, preferably at least 20 times the strain sweep of the comparator, including ranges such as 5-50 times, 10-50 times, 20-50 times, 5-40 times, 10-40 times, 20-40 times, 5-33 times, 10-33 times, and 20-33 times, including all intermediate ranges and sub-ranges, wherein the strain sweep is determined according to the methodology of Example 3 or an equivalent methodology known in the art.

[0068] Without wishing to make any theory of it, it is believed that increasing the deformation sweep of the compositions of the invention by combining the block copolymer(s) and the acid-functional silicone elastomer(s) contributes to increasing the adhesion to keratinous materials (e.g., increasing the adhesion of a lip composition to the lips or increasing the adhesion of a foundation to the skin) and / or contributes to increasing the phase stability of the composition (by creating a homogeneous dispersion of the different phases of the composition (e.g., the oil and water phases of an emulsion) as determined visually and / or microscopically. In this regard, it is noted that within the meaning of the expression "consisting essentially of", the fundamental and novel property is the deformation sweep.

[0069] According to preferred embodiments, the block copolymer and the acid-functional silicone elastomer are present in the compositions of the present invention in an active solids weight ratio of about 3:1 to about 1:1, preferably a weight ratio of about 2.5:1 to about 1:1, and most preferably about 2:1 to about 1:1, including all intermediate ranges and sub-ranges. Preferably, more block copolymers than acid-functional silicone elastomers are present in the compositions of the present invention.

[0070] According to one embodiment, the block copolymer and the acid-functional silicone elastomer are each present in the compositions of the present invention at an active solids content of at least 2% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.

[0071] According to preferred embodiments, the block copolymer and the acid-functional silicone elastomer are present in the compositions of the present invention such that they are "miscible" with each other. In this context, "miscible" means that the block copolymer and the silicone elastomer mix well. For example, in compositions containing pigments, "miscibility" can be determined visually: compositions in which pigments disperse such that streaks are not visually perceptible and / or compositions in which pigments cannot be visually detected on the surface of the composition are compositions having "miscibility" of the block copolymer and the acid-functional silicone elastomer. If streaks are present and pigments appear on the surface of the composition, the block copolymer and the acid-functional silicone elastomer do not mix well and are not "miscible".

[0072] STICKY AGENTS

[0073] According to preferred embodiments of the present invention, the compositions of the present invention may optionally further comprise at least one tackifier. A substance is described as a tackifier if, upon addition to a block copolymer, the resulting composition has the properties of a pressure-sensitive adhesive. In general, tackifiers can be divided into four different families in terms of chemistry: hydrocarbon resins, terpenes, amorphous (i.e., non-crystalline) rosins, rosin esters and their derivatives, and pure monomeric resins. These tackifiers are characterized by their compatibility with at least one segment of the block copolymer.By the term "compatible" is meant, for example, that when the block copolymer and the tackifier are blended, the combination of at least one segment of the block copolymer with the tackifier forms a polymer blend having a unique glass transition temperature Tg that can be measured by DMA, DSC or neutron light scattering.

[0074] The compatibility of the block copolymer and the tackifier can also be defined in terms of solubility parameters. The solubility parameter according to the Hansen solubility space is defined in the article "Solubility Parameter Values" by Eric A. Grulke in the book "Polymer Handbook" 3rd edition, Chapter VII, pages 519-559, by the relationship:

[0075] ô^= (dD2 + dP2 + dH2)1 / 2, in which:

[0076] - dD characterizes the London dispersion forces resulting from the formation of dipoles induced during molecular impacts,

[0077] - dp characterizes the Debye interaction forces between permanent dipoles,

[0078] - dH characterizes the specific interaction forces (hydrogen bond, acid type / base or donor / acceptor and others). The definition of solvents in the three-dimensional solubility space according to Hansen is given in the article by CM Hansen: "The three-dimensional solubility parameters" J. Paint Technol., 39, 105(1967).

As some of the examples cited show, the tackifier may be fully or partially hydrogenated.The tackifier may also be non-polar, where "non-polar" means that the tackifier is substantially free of monomers having polar groups. Preferably, polar groups are not present; however, if present, they are preferably present in an amount of up to about 5% by weight, preferably up to about 2% by weight, and more preferably up to about 0.5% by weight.

[0081] In preferred embodiments, the tackifier may have a softening point (Ring and Bail, as measured by ASTM E-28) of about 80°C to about 150°C, preferably about 100°C to about 130°C. In other preferred embodiments, the tackifier may be liquid and have an R and B softening point of between about -70°C and about 70°C.

In other embodiments, aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon-based tackifier resins, for example, the resins sold under the name "Piccotac" and "Hercotac" from Hercules or "Escorez" from Exxon, may also be used. It is also to be understood that mixtures of tackifiers may also be employed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[0127] In particular, suitable gelling agents for the oil phase include, but are not limited to, lipophilic or hydrophilic clays.

[0128] The term "hydrophilic clay" refers to a clay capable of swelling in water; this clay swells in water and forms a colloidal dispersion after hydration. These clays are products already well known in themselves, which are described, for example, in the work "Minéralogie des argiles", S. Caillere, S. Henin, M. Rautureau, 2nd edition 1982, Masson. Clays are silicates containing a cation which can be chosen from calcium, magnesium, aluminum, sodium, potassium and lithium cations, and mixtures thereof. By way of example, clays of the smectite family such as montmorillonites, hectorites, bentonites, beidellites and saponites, but also of the vermiculite, stevensite and chlorite families can be included. These clays can be of natural or synthetic origin.

[0129] Hydrophilic clays that may be cited include smectite products such as saponites, hectorites, montmorillonites, bentonites and beidellites. Hydrophilic clays that may be included include synthetic hectorites (also called laponites), for example the products sold by the company Laporte under the names Laponite XLG, Laponite RD and Laponite RDS (these products are sodium magnesium silicates and in particular sodium lithium magnesium silicates); bentonites, for example the product marketed under the name Bentone HC by the company Rheox; magnesium aluminium silicates, in particular hydrated magnesium silicates, for example the products marketed by the company Vanderbilt under the names Veegum Ultra, Veegum HS and Veegum DGT, or calcium silicates, and in particular the product in synthetic form marketed by the company under the name Micro-cel C.

[0130] The term "lipophilic clay" means a clay capable of swelling in a lipophilic medium; this clay swells in the medium and thus forms a colloidal dispersion. Examples of lipophilic clay include modified clays such as modified magnesium silicate (Bentone Gel VS38 from Rheox), and hectorites modified with a C10 to C22 fatty acid ammonium chloride, for example hectorite modified with distearyldimethylammonium chloride (CTFA name: dis-teardimonium hectorite) sold under the name Bentone 38 CE by the company Rheox or Bentone 38V® by the company Elementis.

[0131] In particular, among the gelling agents which can be used, mention may be made of silica particles. Preferably, the silica particles are particles of sublimed silica.

It is indeed possible to chemically modify the surface of the silica, by a chemical reaction producing a reduction in the number of silanol groups present on the surface of the silica. The silanol groups can in particular be replaced by hydrophobic groups: a hydrophobic silica is then obtained. The hydrophobic groups can be:

[0133] trimethylsiloxyl groups, which are in particular obtained by treatment of pyrogenic silica in the presence of hexamethyldisilazane. The silicas thus treated are called “Silica silylate” according to the CTFA (6th edition, 1995). They are for example marketed under the references “AEROSIL R812®” by the company Degussa, “CAB-O-SIL TS-530®” by the company Cabot;

[0134] dimethylsilyloxyl or polydimethylsiloxane groups, which are in particular obtained by treatment of pyrogenic silica in the presence of polydimethylsiloxane or dimethyldichlorosilane. Silicas treated in this way are called “Silica dimethyl silylate" according to the CTFA (6th edition, 1995). They are for example marketed under the references "AEROSIL R972®", "AEROSIL R974®" by the company Degussa, "CAB-O-SIL TS-610®", "CAB-O-SIL TS-720®" by the company Cabot.

Preferably, the increase in deformation sweep is manifested by an improvement in the stability of the composition, an improvement in the adhesion of the composition, or both, as discussed above.

[0141] Notwithstanding that the numerical ranges and parameters within the general scope of the invention are approximations, the numerical values ​​presented in the specific examples are reported as accurately as possible. However, any numerical value inherently contains certain errors necessarily resulting from the standard deviation observed in their respective measurements. The following examples are intended to illustrate the invention without limiting its scope. Percentages are given on a weight basis. Example 1 – Inventive composition

[0144] Example 2 - Inventive and comparative compositions - Transfer resistance

[0145] Inventive compositions containing varying amounts of copolymer styrene-ethylene / butylene-styrene (SEBS) block and acid-functional silicone elastomer were prepared using the base composition of Example 1.

[0146] The compositions were tested as follows in a multiple challenge wear test. A film was deposited onto a surface such as a bykochart Black Scrub Panels P121-10N #5015 black abrasion card using a 1 mL draw bar. After drying overnight at 37°C, the deposit was covered with artificial sebum or sweat. The film was wiped off by hand with an absorbent material such as cotton. The amount of the sample that remained undisturbed on the abrasion card and the amount of the sample that transferred to the absorbent material were determined.1 corresponds to total disruption and extreme transfer to the absorbent material, 2 corresponds to very significant disruption with substantial transfer to the absorbent material, 3 corresponds to semi-disruption and some transfer to the absorbent material, 4 corresponds to minimal disruption and minimal transfer to the absorbent material, and 5 corresponds to essentially no visual disruption (elimination) and no visual transfer.

[0147] The table below shows the amount of SEBS block copolymer and functional silicone elastomer used in the different compositions, as well as the test results.

[0149] Tests showed that sebum resistance was improved using the combination of block copolymer and acid-functional silicone elastomer of the present invention. The acid-functional silicone elastomer, by itself, showed good sweat resistance properties. However, it showed poor sebum resistance properties. The commercially available product showed poorer sweat resistance properties. In contrast, the combination of ingredients of the invention surprisingly showed both good sweat resistance properties and improved sebum resistance properties, with at least 5% of the block copolymer and acid-functional silicone elastomer present, demonstrating the best results for the properties tested, which, in turn, demonstrate the best results related to the improvement of adhesion to the materials on which the compositions were applied.

[0150] Example 3 - Inventive and comparative compositions - Deformation scanning

[0151] The strain sweep was determined by a rheometer (Discovery Hybrid Rheometer -3) for each formula. The experiment was conducted at 32°C. The angular frequency was set at 1 rad / s, while the % strain was between 0.01% and 1000%.

[0152] [Tables5] Example 2A Example 2B Example 2C Example 2D Yield Stress (Pa)-Strain Sweep 0.58 7.7 7.14 0.17 Yield Strain (%) 0.43 1.64 1.64 1.61 Consistency G* at 1% strain (Pa) 44 508 343 11 G" (Pa) at 300% strain 6 14 9.96 1.06 G', G" (Pa) at 1% strain 32.30 496.108 338.58 10.3 Sol-gel Point (%) 1.85 5.21 5.6 20 delta at 1% strain 42 12 9.8 15 Dynamic Viscosity h 'at 1% strain 30 108 58 3 Deformation hardening NOOO

[0153] Formula B had the highest consistency and modulus. We have observed strain hardening on formulations B, C and D. This suggested that strain hardening may correlate with a higher concentration of acid-functional silicone elastomer, which in turn correlates with better adhesion to the materials to which the compositions were applied.

[0154] Example 4 - Inventive and comparative compositions - Coefficient of friction

[0155] The coefficient of friction as a function of shear rate was measured by DHR-3 (Discovery Hybrid Rheometer). The experiment was conducted at 32°C. The axial force was set at 3 N ± 0.1 N. The mode was compression. The coefficient of friction was measured for 240 seconds at a shear rate of 0.01 to 30 ( / s) in a linear mode. The measurement of the coefficient of friction at a certain speed by tribology is believed to be associated with sensory attributes.

[0156] It was observed that among formulas A, B, and C, there was no significant difference in friction. Formulas A, B, and C generally exhibited higher friction compared to the commercially available product.

[0157] [Tableauxô] Shear Rate Friction at 0.07 / s 1.1 / s 10 / s Example 2A 0.11 0.24 0.31 Example 2B 0.12 0.24 0.33 Example 2C 0.12 0.24 0.33 Commercial Product 1 (containing MQ resin) 0.13 0.28 0.29 Commercial Product 2 (containing t-propyl resin + t-propyl resin wax) 0.11 0.23 0.31
