Description

Title of the invention: Colored skincare and / or makeup composition. FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to the cosmetic field and in particular to colored cosmetic compositions for the care and / or makeup of keratinous materials, especially of the skin, eyelids, eyebrows or lips. PRIOR TECHNOLOGY

[0002] Colored anhydrous skincare and / or lip makeup products are sought after by consumers for their coverage, hold, and color properties for a skin and / or lip makeup effect.

[0003] Coverage is generally provided by white pigments and / or fillers, and titanium dioxide is notably used for its strong opacifying and covering power. Color is provided by coloring materials, organic and / or inorganic, some of which are known to be light-sensitive. This sensitivity can lead to instability of the color or hue on the surface when the composition is exposed to light. The color or hue on the surface of the composition exposed to light loses intensity and / or saturation; the surface of the composition is also said to decolorize in the light. Therefore, efforts are made to preserve and protect light-sensitive coloring materials to avoid these variations in hue or color.

[0004] Unexpectedly, the Applicant demonstrated that the use of zinc oxide particles, particularly in an anhydrous composition containing light-sensitive colorants, protected these colorants and thus promoted the stability of the composition's color and shade. Zinc oxide particles are therefore particularly advantageous, as a replacement for titanium dioxide particles, in the formulation of skincare and / or makeup compositions to provide coverage and, moreover, to protect light-sensitive colorants. The use of these zinc oxide particles thus makes it possible to obtain stable shades, even with light-sensitive pigments, which was not possible with titanium dioxide. Description of the invention

[0005] A first aspect of the invention is therefore a cosmetic composition, preferably anhydrous, for the care and / or makeup of keratinous materials, in particular of the skin, eyelids, eyebrows or lips, comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium: i. Zinc oxide particles, and ii. One or more light-sensitive colouring materials, chosen from the group consisting of organic dyes and pigments, composite pigments comprising at least one of said organic dyes or pigments, pearlescent pigments comprising at least one of said organic dyes or pigments, and mixtures thereof.

[0006] According to a particular and preferred mode, the composition of the invention is an anhydrous composition.

[0007] The present invention also relates to a cosmetic method for the care and / or makeup of keratinous materials, in particular the skin, eyelids, eyebrows or lips, preferably the lips, comprising the application on said keratinous materials of a composition according to the invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] The present invention therefore relates to a cosmetic composition, preferably anhydrous, for the care and / or makeup of keratinous materials, in particular of the skin, eyelids, eyebrows or lips, comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium: i. Zinc oxide particles, and ii. One or more light-sensitive colouring materials, chosen from the group consisting of organic dyes and pigments, composite pigments comprising at least one of said organic dyes or pigments, pearlescent pigments comprising at least one of said organic dyes or pigments, and mixtures thereof.

[0009] By "anhydrous composition," it is understood, in particular, that water is preferably not deliberately added to the composition of the invention but may be present in trace amounts in the various compounds used in the composition. In particular, the composition according to the invention comprises less than 4% by weight of water, preferably less than 3%, preferably less than 2%, more preferably less than 1%, and even more preferably less than 0.5% by weight of water, relative to the total weight of said composition, or is even completely free of water. According to a particular embodiment, the composition is free of water.

[0010] According to one embodiment, the composition is fluid or liquid, that is to say, it flows under its own weight at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure.

[0011] According to another embodiment, the composition is in the form of a powder, in particular a free powder.

[0012] According to another embodiment, the composition is a solid composition. Preferably the solid composition comprises one or more waxes.

[0013] By "solid composition", as opposed to liquid or fluid composition or free powder, is meant according to the invention a composition which does not flow under its own weight at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure.

[0014] The composition may in particular be in the form of a compact powder or a stick or a composition packaged in a cup.

[0015] The term "compact powder" refers to a solid composition based on powders, distinct from a loose powder. The compact powder is generally prepared by mixing all the components of the particulate phase and then adding a liquid phase to this mixture while stirring. The mixture is then poured into a cup, a bucket, or a mold and compacted. Compaction is typically carried out at a pressure of 5 to 25 MPa and results in a reduction in the volume of the compacted composition. PULVERULENT PHASE

[0016] The powder phase of the composition comprises fillers and pigments.

[0017] The composition of the invention includes, in particular, zinc oxide particles. Zinc oxide particles

[0018] Zinc oxide particles are in the form of a white powder and are insoluble in water.

[0019] Zinc oxide particles can be in a heterogeneous form, generally hexagonal and cubic in shape.

[0020] The zinc oxide particles used according to the invention are pigmentary zinc oxide particles, as opposed to zinc oxide nanoparticles used as a mineral sunscreen.

[0021] The average size of the zinc oxide particles used according to the invention will generally range from 0.1 to 50 pm (micrometers), in particular from 0.1 to 1 pm, or even from 0.1 to 1 pm.

[0022] The particle size can be measured according to a laser diffraction distribution method with a Malvern Mastersizer type device, in particular by measuring the value D

[50] , which represents the maximum size that 50% of the volume of the particles represents.

[0023] We can cite in particular the commercial references RONACARE ZINC OXIDE of the company Merck, or the reference A120-ZnO-l 1S3 of the company Kobo, or the reference ZINC OXIDE COSMETICS of the company Keyser&Mackay / Grillo.

[0024] According to a particular and preferred mode, the zinc oxide particles contain more than 80% by weight of ZnO, in particular more than 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% by weight of ZnO, or even 100% of ZnO.

[0025] The zinc oxide particles used according to the invention may or may not be treated with a lipophilic treatment agent for better dispersion in the oil phase.

[0026] According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the zinc oxide particles are not treated and they have the INCI name: Zinc oxide.

[0027] According to another particular mode, the zinc oxide particles are treated with a lipophilic treatment agent.

[0028] Zinc oxide particles can also be mixed with a wetting agent to facilitate their dispersion in the composition and thus improve the homogeneity of the composition.

[0029] According to a particular mode, the content of zinc oxide particles in the composition of the invention will generally range from 0.1% to 50% by weight of zinc oxide, in particular from 1% to 30% by weight of zinc oxide, preferably from 2% to 20% by weight of zinc oxide relative to the total weight of the composition.

[0030] For a compact powder composition (e.g., eyeshadow, face powder), the total content of zinc oxide particles will generally range from 1% to 50%, better from 5% to 40% by weight (of zinc oxide) relative to the total weight of the composition.

[0031] For an anhydrous solid composition for the skin and distinct from a powder (e.g., complexion corrector), the total content of zinc oxide particles will generally range from 0.5% to 30%, better from 1% to 20% by weight (of zinc oxide) relative to the total weight of the composition.

[0032] For an anhydrous solid lip composition (e.g., lip balm), the total zinc oxide particle content will generally range from 0.1% to 30%, preferably from 0.5% to 20% (zinc oxide) by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.

[0033] According to a particular and preferred embodiment of the invention, the composition comprises less than 3% titanium dioxide, in particular less than 1%, or is even free of titanium dioxide.

[0034] According to an even more preferred mode, the composition of the invention is free of titanium dioxide.

[0035] The composition further comprises one or more light-sensitive coloring materials. Light-sensitive coloring materials

[0036] For the purposes of this invention, "colorant" means a compound capable of producing a colored optical effect when formulated in sufficient quantity in a suitable cosmetic medium. Colorants are classically chosen from pigments (insoluble in oils and in the aqueous phase) and dyes (soluble in oils or in the aqueous phase).

[0037] Colouring materials may be made of material of mineral, synthetic or natural origin.

[0038] According to a particular method, the coloring materials are of mineral or synthetic origin.

[0039] Said colouring materials may or may not be treated with a lipophilic treatment agent.

[0040] A light-sensitive colouring material usable in the compositions of the invention may be chosen from the group consisting of organic dyes and pigments and / or their salts, composite pigments comprising at least one of said organic dyes or pigments, pearlescent pigments comprising at least one of said organic dyes or pigments, and mixtures thereof.

[0041] By "light-sensitive colorants" is meant colorants whose color (e.g., a colorant) or tint (e.g., a mixture of colorants) in formulation is not stable after exposure of the composition to light. The stability of the color or tint can be observed with the naked eye by a color expert or measured with a spectrocolorimeter by calculating the AE00 color difference between two samples (irradiated vs. control). A color or tint that is not stable in light is a color or tint that loses intensity and / or saturation. It is also said that the surface of the composition decolorizes in light.

[0042] To select light-sensitive colorants suitable for use in the compositions of the invention, the following test (also known as the 'Sun Test') can be used, which aims to identify colorants whose color or tint in formulation is affected by exposure to light, for example, irradiation for 16 hours: - The colouring material is generally pre-dispersed (for pigments) or solubilised (for dyes) in an oil and then the mixture (also called 'pigment paste') is dispersed homogeneously in an oily or greasy base including for example hydrocarbon oils and waxes as described below by way of illustration; - The composition obtained in the previous step is then conditioned in two cups, one serving as a control and the other being subjected to irradiation, for example for 16 hours; the irradiation is carried out using a Sun Test XLS type device, at a power of 500W / m2, for 16h, with a Store light reduced IR filter; - The hues of the irradiated composition versus the control (non-irradiated) composition are evaluated by a color expert who observes and describes the color or tint of each composition or by measuring a color difference AEoo according to the protocol described below; - A color that varies (e.g., loses intensity and / or saturation, fades) in the irradiated condition compared to the control condition (for example, an AEOo measurement greater than 1, in particular greater than 3, more particularly greater than 8, or even greater than 10 between the irradiated composition versus the non-irradiated control) indicates that the coloring material in formulation is a light-sensitive coloring material, capable of being used in the present invention in association with the zinc oxide particles that will prevent this fading.

[0043] The parameter AE00 is evaluated according to the following protocol.

[0044] The colorimetric parameters of the compositions are measured using a spectrocolorimeter such as a d / 8° spectrocolorimeter (COLORi7800 X Rite).

[0045] The device is used in included specular mode, with an aperture window of 17mm, UV is excluded from the light source. Spectral measurements are performed on each sample before and after irradiation.

[0046] The colorimetric values ​​are calculated in the CIELAB76 space, in which L* represents the color intensity, a* indicates the green / red color axis and b* the blue / yellow color axis, illuminating D65, observer 10°. Color deviations are calculated to evaluate the colorimetric evolution of the samples#between the hue of the irradiated composition versus the control composition: lightness deviation DL*ab, chroma deviation DC*ab, hue deviation DH*ab (ISO / CIE 11664-4:2019) and overall color deviation AEOo determined as defined by the CIE (ISO / CIE 11664-6:2014).

[0047] As an example for carrying out this test, the following oily and greasy base can be used:

[0048] [Tables 1] Ingredients (INCI name) % by weight POLYISOBUTENE QsplOO OCTYLDODECANOL 14.5 DISTEARDIMONIUM HECTORITE 1.7 WAXES 25 CHOLESTEROL ESTERS 8.3 POLYGLYCEROL ESTER 6 CALCIUM CARBONATE 5

[0049] This mixture is used as a dispersion base (once melted) for bichromatic pigment preparations with equivalent TiO2 (opacifier) ​​and colorant contents. The mixture "Base + TiO2 pigment paste + colorant paste" is adjusted to achieve a level of color saturation similar to that found in products currently on the market; the texture is adjusted by adding a polyglycerol ester. The pigment pastes are dispersions of colorants in a polyglycerol ester of known concentration, prepared extemporaneously. For example, 60% of this base is mixed with 5% of a TiO2 pigment paste (3% TiO2 pre-dispersed in polyglycerol ester), 10% of Red 28 Lake pigment paste to be tested (3% Red 28 Lake pre-dispersed in polyglycerol ester) and 25% polyglycerol ester (to bring the composition back to 100%).This mixture is heated to 95°C and homogenized using a rotor-stator to ensure consistent color. The product is poured into a mold at a temperature of approximately 90°C. The mold is left at room temperature for a few minutes, then placed in the freezer for 5 minutes. Afterward, the product is either unmolded or left in its mold and left to rest for a minimum of 24 hours before undergoing the Sun Test.

[0050] The steps of the protocol are followed, and the SunTest is used to assess whether the irradiated tint varies compared to the control tint. Compositions for which a variation in tint is observed indicate that the tested colorant is sensitive to light.

[0051] The Applicant has notably tested the organic dyes and pigments Red 28 Lake, Red 6 Sait, Blue 1 Lake and a mica-based mother-of-pearl coated with Red 6 and shown a variation in shade according to this protocol, with the greatest variation for Red 28 Lake, the most sensitive to light.

[0052] Thus, among the "light-sensitive organic colorants and pigments (e.g., lakes)" that can be used according to the invention, we can mention in particular the compounds Blue 1, Blue 1 lake (CI 42090), Yellow 5, Yellow 5 lake (CI 19140), Yellow 6, Yellow 6 lake (CI 15985), Yellow 10, Yellow 10 lake (CI 47005), Yellow 11, Yellow 11 lake, Red 4, Red 4 lake (CI 14700), Red 6, Red 6 lake (CI 15850), Red 7, Red 7 lake (CI 15850), Red 21, Red 21 lake (CI 45380), Red 22, Red 22 lake (CI 45380), Red 27, Red 27 lake (CI 45410), Red 28, Red 28 lake (CI 45410). 45410), Red 30, Red 30 lake (CI 73360), Red 33, Red 33 lake (CI 15880), Red 34, Red 34 lake (CI 15880), Red 40, Red 40 Lake (CI 16035), Orange 4, carmine, and / or their salts, in particular Sodium or Barium, such as Red 6 Na Sait Lake, Red 6 Ba Sait Lake, and mixtures thereof;in particular Blue 1, Blue 1 lake (CI 42090), Red 6, Red 6 lake (CI 15850), Red 7, Red 7 lake (CI 15850), Red 21, Red 21 lake (CI 45380), Red 22, Red 22 lake (CI 45380), Red 27, Red 27 lake (CI 45410), Red 28, Red 28 lake (CI 45410), and / or their salts, and mixtures thereof; preferably Red 27, Red 27 lake (CI 45410), Red 28, Red 28 lake (CI 45410), and / or their salts, and their mixtures.

[0053] "Lakes" are organic pigments comprising at least one organic dye precipitated on an inert support (also called a "base"). In particular, lakes comprising a base selected from alumina (Al), barium sulfate (Ba), or calcium rosinate (Ca) bases will be used. For example, Red 28 Al lake is a lake comprising an alumina base on which the dye Red 28 is precipitated.

Light-sensitive composite pigments usable according to the invention therefore comprise a substrate and at least one of the aforementioned light-sensitive organic colorants or pigment(s).

[0174] Example 1: Effect of zinc oxide particles on color protection

[0175] Several tests were carried out beforehand to determine the covering power of zinc oxide particles, compared to titanium dioxide, in order to be able to replace titanium dioxide in formulas, without impacting the desired coverage effect.

[0176] These results showed that, for an equivalent covering power, in an anhydrous solid composition according to the invention, a quantity of zinc oxide particles approximately 3 to 4 times greater than the quantity of titanium dioxide was required for an equivalent covering result.

[0177] Various organic colorants and pigments (e.g., lacquers) and a mother-of-pearl were tested in a lipstick base as described below:

[0178] [Tables2] Ingredients (INCI name) % by weight POLYISOBUTENE QsplOO OCTYLDODECANOL 14.5 DISTEARDIMONIUM HECTORITE 1.7 WAXES 25 CHOLESTEROL ESTERS 8.3 POLYGLYCEROL ESTER 6 CALCIUM CARBONATE 5

[0179] This mixture is used as a dispersion base (once melted) for bichromatic pigment preparations with equivalent TiO2 (opacifier) ​​and colorant contents. The mixture "Base + TiO2 pigment paste + colorant paste" is adjusted to achieve a level of color saturation similar to that found in products currently on the market; the texture is adjusted by adding a polyglycerol ester. The pigment pastes are dispersions of colorants in a polyglycerol ester of known concentration, prepared extemporaneously.

[0180] To facilitate reading the first line of the table, 60% of this base was mixed with 5% of a TiO2 pigment paste (3% TiO2 pre-dispersed in polyglycerol ester), 10% of the Red 28 Lake pigment paste to be tested (3% Red 28 Lake pre-dispersed in polyglycerol ester), and 25% polyglycerol ester (to bring the composition to 100%). This mixture was heated to 95°C and homogenized using a rotor-stator to ensure good color uniformity. The product was poured at a temperature of approximately 90°C into a mold. The mold was left at room temperature for a few minutes, then placed in the freezer for 5 minutes. Afterward, the product was either unmolded or left in its mold and allowed to rest for a minimum of 24 hours before undergoing the Sun Test. Color evaluation by Sun Test:

[0181] The color stability properties of the compositions in light were evaluated according to a 'Sun Test' protocol, in which the compositions are subjected to irradiation for 16 hours.

[0182] Each composition is poured into two lipstick pots: one control and one which will be irradiated for 16 hours.

[0183] Irradiation is carried out using a Sun Test XLS type device, at a power of 500W / m2, for 16h, with a Store light reduced IR filter.

[0184] The hues of each composition tested, compared to the control composition (non-irradiated), are evaluated by a colorist who observes and describes the color variation of each composition.

[0185] The results are presented in the following table:
