Description

Title of the invention: Composition for lipstick BASED ON TRIMETHYLHEPTANE

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cosmetics.

[0002] More specifically, the invention relates to a lipstick composition comprising a volatile mixture of alkanes.

[0003] Within the scope of this application, a number of definitions must be given.

[0004] An "alkane" is a saturated hydrocarbon consisting solely of carbon and hydrogen atoms linked together by simple covalent bonds whose general formula is CnH2n+2.

[0005] A "linear alkane" is an alkane in which each carbon atom is linked to a maximum of two carbon atoms.

[0006] A "branched alkane" is an alkane in which certain carbon atoms are linked to three or even four carbon atoms.

[0007] A "Cx alkane" is an alkane consisting of x carbon atoms, said alkane being able to be linear or branched. For example, dodecane is a C12 alkane.

[0008] Commonly, a "volatile mixture of alkanes" is a mixture of alkanes having a flash point less than or equal to 95°C measured according to the ATSM D93 standard.

[0009] For the purposes of the present invention, the term "volatile mixture of alkanes" means a mixture of alkanes having a flash point less than or equal to 55°C measured according to the ATSM D93 standard.

[0010] The term "flash point" refers to the flash point measured according to ASTM D93. The unit of the flash point measured according to ASTM D93 is degrees Celsius (°C). It can also be an average of values, each of the values ​​being obtained by means of a measurement according to ASTM D93.

[0011] The term "mass percentage" refers to the ratio of the mass of a first compound to the total mass of a mixture of compounds or composition, reduced to a percentage. For example, if 10 grams of a compound y are present in a mixture z having a total mass of 100 grams, then the mass percentage of y in z is 10%.

[0012] A “bio-sourced” compound or organic composition is defined as one in which the organic carbon present in the compound or composition is 100% of plant origin (14C) by radiocarbon analysis according to one of the following standards: ASTM D6866, EN 16640 or EN 16785-1.

[0013] The "naturalness index" of an organic composition is the percentage of organic carbon of plant origin (14C) determined by radiocarbon analysis according to one of the following standards: ASTM D6866, EN 16640 or EN 16785-1.

[0014] For the purposes of the present invention, the OECD 301F method makes it possible to assess the biodegradability of a substance by a manometric respirometry test.

[0015] Since the appearance of isododecane in cosmetics in the 1990s, its use has expanded considerably in all areas of cosmetics, from skin care products to makeup products such as mascara compositions, long-lasting lipstick, and hair products such as serums or anti-frizz dry oils.

[0016] In some of these products, isododecane can represent up to 60% by mass of the composition of these cosmetic formulas.

[0017] Long-lasting makeup now represents around 25% of the global makeup market: isododecane is a key component because it allows for long-lasting, transfer-free and water-resistant performance, while maintaining optimal comfort. This market was developed from this essential ingredient, isododecane, derived from petrochemicals

[0018] However, since oil resources are limited and the oil market is fluctuating and polluting, meeting the demand for isododecane or being able to provide at least equivalent properties in cosmetic formulations represents a strategic challenge for the cosmetics industry.

[0019] To address such a challenge, a first approach consists of developing a process for producing isododecane that does not use petroleum raw materials.

[0020] Recently, GLOBAL BIOENERGIES disclosed in its application WO2020188033, the obtaining of an isobutene by a biological process using a genetically modified organism such as the modified E. Coli bacterium.

[0021] The isobutene gas obtained is then converted into isododecane by a solvent-phase oligomerization reaction followed by a hydrogenation step according to patent application WO2021228824.

[0022] This reaction, known in the chemical industry, has the disadvantage of forming by-products and offering a low yield, which raises questions about the viability of this approach in the long term in terms of volume and cost.

[0023] Nevertheless, more than €100 million was raised by GLOBAL BIOENERGIES for the development of such a process between 2008 and the beginning of 2021, the date of release of the first batch of cosmetic-grade isododecane.

[0024] This long-term economic investment for the production of isododecane from natural raw materials is remarkable.

[0025] Indeed, a second strategy consisting of reducing the quantity of isododecane present in current cosmetic products or even substituting it is a challenge of a completely different magnitude for the cosmetics industry.

[0026] Furthermore, finding a biodegradable substitute for isododecane would be a major advance from an environmental point of view as mentioned in patent application EP3349720, such a compound being able to represent up to a mass percentage of 60% of the cosmetic composition.

[0027] Research has thus been carried out in order to identify compounds likely to offer a satisfactory alternative to isododecane, these compounds having to possess similar volatility characteristics and similar behavior in a formulation, in particular in terms of sensory properties such as the ability to spread on the skin, the sensation to the touch, or even the “non-greasy” character of the film obtained.

[0028] Thus, there remains a need, from an economic and ecological point of view, to have a cosmetic excipient capable of substituting isododecane, in particular as an excipient to be included in cosmetic formulations.

[0029] Surprisingly, it has been demonstrated by the Applicant that such an excipient could be obtained.

[0030] This excipient is a volatile mixture of alkanes as previously defined.

[0031] Preferably, this volatile mixture of alkanes is obtained from fatty alcohols by a Guerbet alcohol reaction followed by a dehydration and hydrogenation reaction. This synthetic route advantageously makes it possible to obtain a substitute excipient for isododecane, from raw materials of natural origin according to an industrial process that is economically viable in relation to market needs.

[0032] Furthermore, such an excipient is biodegradable according to the OECD 301F method unlike isododecane (CAS 13475-82-6).

[0033] Advantageously, the excipient according to the present invention has a biodegradability of at least 50% according to the OECD 301F method.

[0034] It has also been demonstrated according to the invention that the incorporation of this cosmetic excipient into cosmetic formulations, in particular those of lipstick, long-lasting lipstick, or lip glosses, had the effect of providing said cosmetic formulation with remarkable cosmetic qualities in addition to excellent stability of these formulations, such as ease of application, water resistance, good hold, and a more intense and luminous color.

[0035] Furthermore, the incorporation of this cosmetic excipient has made it possible to obtain cosmetic formulations for lipstick which can have a naturalness index greater than 90%.

[0036] For the purposes of the present invention, the term “long-lasting” lipstick, or also called “non-transfer” lipstick, means a lipstick that does not leave marks, is water-resistant and sometimes oil-resistant.

[0037] Similarly, "lip gloss" or "lip gloss" refers to a makeup product that gives a shiny and / or wet appearance to the lips, and sometimes, colors them or even glitters them. Some of these lip glosses are transparent and can be applied over a classic lipstick to add a shiny effect.

[0038] The invention relates to a lipstick composition characterized in that it comprises a volatile mixture of alkanes, said volatile mixture of alkanes comprising: a. From 20 to 100% by mass of a fraction A which comprises at least one branched C<10 alkane; b.

[0580] The percentages indicated in the tables below are mass percentages.

[0581] Example 1: Protocol for preparing lipstick formulations:

[0582] In order to prepare the reference lipstick (example 2), a lipstick according to the prior art (example 4) and lipsticks according to the invention (examples 6 and 7), the AEROSIL is dispersed in the volatile mixture of alkanes to form phase 1 of the lipstick formulation.

[0583] Once phase 1 has dispersed, phase 2 is weighed in parallel in another container. The same operation is carried out for phase 3 and then phases 2 and 3 are mixed under magnetic stirring.

[0584] The mixture of phases 2 and 3 is then placed on a heating plate until the RHEOPEARL KL2 is completely dispersed. The dispersed phase 1 is then added to the mixture of phases 2 and 3.

[0585] Finally, phase 4 alone is heated on a hot plate until the wax has completely melted, then phase 4 is cooled in a cold water bath to 40°C and added to the mixture of dispersed phases 1, 2 and 3.

[0586] The formulation of the lipsticks of examples 2, 4, 6 and 7 is obtained.

[0588] Reference mascara drying time:

[0589] The reference lipstick obtained according to the protocol of example 1 has a drying time on the lips of 6 minutes.

[0590] This drying time is satisfactory for a lipstick or lip gloss formulation.

[0591] Application characteristics of the reference mascara:

[0592] To establish this study, the lipstick formulation was tested by a panel of users.

[0593] In the context of a meal, the reference lipstick has good staying power even if it is sometimes erased in the center (but the outline is still present).

[0594] Regarding the other application characteristics, the study via the user panel showed that the reference lipstick is transfer-free, has good adhesion and good coverage.

[0595] However, it remains slightly sticky. Finally, the reference lipstick has a satisfactory hold for 5 hours.

[0596] Example 3: Stability of the composition of the reference lipstick of the example 2: Examples 3a: Stability of the reference lipstick composition at different temperatures over time Temperature Observation time T=24h T=72h T= 1 week T = 2 weeks 50°C / Slight instability Slight instability Slight instability 4°C / Stable Stable Stable

[0597] The table in Example 3a above shows the stability of the reference lipstick formulation as a function of temperature. This stability of the tests is evaluated at different times by visual observation by the operator.

[0598] It is noted that the reference formulation is stable at low temperature and shows slight instability at 50°C from 72 hours.

[0599] However, it is noted that this slight instability at 50°C does not increase during the 1-week and 2-week observations. Example 3b: Stability of the reference lipstick composition to centrifugation Centrifugation speed 500 rpm 500 rpm in 1000 rpm 3000 rpm 4000 rpm 4000 rpm Centrifugation time 1 min 5 min 5 min 5 min 5 min 10 min Results Stable Stable Stable Stable Stable

[0600] The table in Example 3b above describes the stability of the reference lipstick formulation to centrifugation by visual observation by the operator.

[0601] In view of the results shown in Table 3b, it can be deduced that this lipstick formulation is stable to centrifugation for the speeds and times of the tests carried out.

[0602] From the stability results of Examples 3a and 3b, it can be deduced that the reference lipstick formulation exhibits satisfactory stability even if a slight instability is noted during storage at high temperature (50°C).

[0604] In the composition of example 4 of a lipstick comprising a volatile mixture of alkanes according to the prior art, patent application EP3773432A1, isododecane (CAS 13475-82-6) present in phase 1 of the reference formula of example 2 was substituted with a volatile mixture of alkanes consisting of 30% n-decane (CAS 124-18-5) and 70% n-dodecane (CAS 112-40-3).

[0605] Drying time of the formula of example 4:

[0608] Application characteristics of the formula of example 4:

[0609] To establish this study, the lipstick formulation according to the prior art was tested by a panel of users.

[0610] Thus, in the context of a meal, the lipstick according to the prior art has good hold even if it is sometimes erased in the center. However, the contours are always present.

[0611] Concerning the other application characteristics of the lipstick according to the prior art, the study via the user panel showed that it is transfer-free, has average adhesion and correct coverage.

[0612] A comparison between the lipstick formula according to the prior art and the reference formula, carried out on samples and evaluated via this same panel of users, shows that the lipstick according to the prior art has a lower hold than that of the reference lipstick. However, this study also showed that the lipstick according to the prior art is more difficult to apply due to its high fluidity. In addition, its properties such as its drying time, its grip and its coverage are less satisfactory than those of the reference lipstick formulation.

[0613] Example 5: Stability of the lipstick composition according to the prior art of Example 4 Examples 5a: Stability of the formulation according to the prior art at different temperatures over time Temperature Observation time T=24h T=72h T= 1 week T = 2 weeks 50°C / Slight instability Slight instability Slight instability 4°C / Stable Stable Stable

[0614] The table in Example 5a above shows the stability of the lipstick formulation according to the prior art as a function of temperature. This stability of the tests is evaluated at different times by visual observation by the operator.

[0615] It is noted that the formulation according to the prior art is stable at low temperature and exhibits slight instability at 50°C from 72 hours. However, it is noted that this slight instability at 50°C does not increase during the observations carried out at 1 week and 2 weeks.

[0616] The table in Example 5b above describes the stability of the prior art lipstick formulation to centrifugation by visual observation by the operator.

[0617] In view of the results shown in Table 5b, it can be deduced that this lipstick formulation is stable to centrifugation for the speeds and times of the tests carried out.

[0618] From the stability results of Examples 5a and 5b, it can be deduced that the lipstick formulation according to the prior art exhibits satisfactory stability even if a slight instability is noted during storage at high temperature (50°C).

In particular, it is brighter and therefore less dull than the reference formula.

[0630] Comparative photographs taken during this study confirm this difference in light intensity.

[0631] In terms of application, the study via the user panel showed that the lipstick according to the invention has a smoothing effect, coverage and hold similar to the reference lipstick.
