Description

Title of the invention: Cosmetic composition comprising amino acids, hydroxylated (poly)carboxylic acids and silicones, and cosmetic processing method

[0001] The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition, particularly for hair care, comprising one or more amino acid compounds, one or more carboxylic hydroxy acids, and one or more silicones. The invention also relates to a cosmetic treatment method using said composition.

[0002] Consumers worldwide are generally in contact with very diverse water sources which have an impact on hair, particularly on its cosmetic properties and / or the performance of hair products.

[0003] So-called mineral waters, for example, contain varying amounts of minerals present as dissolved ions, such as calcite (present as calcium), dolomite (present as calcium and magnesium), magnetite (present as iron), and chalcanthite (present as copper). So-called hard waters are also concentrated in minerals such as calcium and magnesium, while swimming pool waters are concentrated in copper salts from algaecides used in pool treatment.

[0004] Hair has a strong tendency to absorb these minerals and / or their metallic salts due to the presence on its surface of anionic groups, which correspond in particular to the sulfonic or carboxylic groups of keratin. Furthermore, the isoelectric point of hair is generally described as being between 3.2 and 4. Consequently, in everyday life, the pH of the water applied to the hair is higher than these values, resulting in a negatively charged hair fiber.

[0005] Minerals, often polyvalent cations, are thus attracted to and captured by this negatively charged fiber, forming chemical bonds that prevent their release through conventional hair treatment processes. This results in a possible accumulation of minerals on the hair over time. Such fixation depends not only on the water hardness, the frequency and / or duration of the hair's exposure to the water in question, but also on the nature and length of the hair (particularly its porosity and charge) as well as its state of damage.

[0006] The accumulation of these minerals and / or their metallic salts can lead to changes in the hair fiber and, in particular, a more or less marked alteration of the hair's cosmetic properties. Thus, an accumulation of calcium and magnesium can lead to dry hair, lacking shine, while a Copper buildup can lead to greening of the hair.

[0007] In addition, the accumulation of metallic salts (iron, copper, for example) can accelerate damage to hair because they catalyze redox reactions and generate hydroxyl radicals HO° which can be harmful to the keratin fiber, even at low levels.

[0008] This can result in photo-degradation of the fiber, lightening of the fiber, as well as an alteration of the properties of the hair, which can lead to premature breakage of the hair; these phenomena are particularly observed during the subsequent use of lightening products or coloring products.

[0009] In other words, hair can become less resistant, weaker, or even break more easily, or lose its shine, due to the accumulation of minerals and / or their metallic salts.

[0010] There is therefore a real need for compositions that can combat the accumulation of metallic ions from minerals and metallic salts dissolved in water, or even allow them to be extracted from keratin fibers, in order to limit their negative impacts and overcome all the disadvantages mentioned above.

[0011] The composition which is the subject of the present invention, and its implementation, make it possible to achieve this goal.

[0012] The present invention therefore relates to a cosmetic composition, preferably for hair, comprising:

[0013] - one or more amino acid-type compounds, preferably present in a total content of at least 0.5% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition,

[0014] - one or more hydroxylated (poly)carboxylic acids, comprising 2 to 8 atoms of carbon, and / or their salts, preferably present in a total content of at least 0.5% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, and

[0015] - one or more silicones, present in a total content of at least 0.5% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition.

[0016] It has been observed that the composition according to the invention makes it possible to improve the resistance to breakage of the hair, to strengthen the hair and also to significantly limit its reduction or loss of shine, undesirable effects that may be caused by the presence of metal ions, in particular copper or calcium, within said fibers.

[0017] After application of the composition, the fibers are as if reinforced, said reinforcement being improved with successive applications of the composition.

[0018] It has also been observed that the composition according to the invention further provides conditioning properties to the hair, including a smooth feel, softness, shine and easier detangling, while also providing the strength, of the body and a mass effect on the hair.

[0019] It finds a very particular application in the cosmetic treatment, in particular the washing and / or conditioning, of sensitized, weakened and / or damaged keratin fibers, in particular following physical (repeated brushing) and / or chemical treatments, for example coloring, bleaching, perming and / or straightening.

[0020] It is particularly suitable for the cosmetic treatment, in particular the washing and / or conditioning, of keratin fibers loaded with metals, in particular with calcium and / or copper, at levels of at least 100 ppm, preferably at least 200 ppm; in particular loaded with copper, in particular at levels of at least 100 ppm, preferably at least 200 ppm and / or loaded with calcium, in particular at levels of at least 4,000 ppm, preferably at least 10,000 ppm.

[0021] In what follows, and unless otherwise indicated, the bounds of a range of values ​​are included in that range, in particular in the expressions "between" and "ranging from ... to ...".

[0022] Furthermore, the expression "at least one" used in this description is equivalent to the expression "one or more" and may be substituted for it. Amino acid-type compounds

[0532] Composition A is in the form of a cream and can advantageously be used before shampooing or after shampooing as a mask. This The composition can be used for detangling hair, providing care and strength (body and mass effect).

[0533] The composition also exhibits strengthening properties.

[0534] Composition B is presented in the form of a lotion and can advantageously be used without rinsing before or after shampooing, and before the use of a leave-in mask or conditioner. This composition can be used for detangling hair, providing care and strength (body and volume).

[0535] The composition also exhibits strengthening properties. Example 2

[0536] Compositions C according to the invention and comparative C' were prepared from the ingredients indicated in the tables below (g% MA):

[0537] [Tables2] Composition C C' CITRIC ACID 5.0 ​​GLYCINE 2.5 CETEARYL ALCOHOL 7.0 7.0 Behentrimonium chloride 3 3 DIMETHICONE 1 1 POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE 1.5 GLYCERIN 1 1 Preservatives Qs Qs Water Qs 100% Qs 100%

[0538] Composition C is in the form of a cream which can advantageously be used as a mask, after shampooing, and rinsed off after a period of a few minutes.

[0539] This composition can be used for detangling hair, providing care and strength (body and mass effect).

[0540] The composition also has hair strengthening properties.

[0541] The reinforcement is measured using the DSC technique.

[0542] (i) preparation of the wicks

[0543] The measurements are carried out on strands previously bleached manually and then treated five times according to the following protocol: the strand is washed with a neutral shampoo, then rinsed, 2g of the composition to be tested is applied per strand of hair of 5.7g, the treatment is left on for 5 minutes and then rinsed again. (ii) measurement method

[0544] Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is known to those skilled in the art as a method for quantifying protein strengthening in the cortex of keratin fibers (Kinetics of the changes imparted to the main structural components of human hair by thermal treatment, https: / / doi.org / 10.1016 / j.tca.2018.01.014 & F.-J. Wortmann and H. Deutz, J. Appl. Polym Sci., 48, 137 (1993)). The principle of the test is to measure the protein denaturation temperature. It is widely recognized that the higher the protein denaturation temperature, the better the integrity of the cortex proteins, which reflects a reduction in fiber breakage.

[0545] The denaturation temperature is directly related to the binding density of keratin proteins present in the cortex. Thus, the lower the denaturation temperature, the lower the binding density of the proteins to each other, the more disulfide bonds break, and the cortex is damaged. A difference of 2°C is recognized by those skilled in the art as a significant change.

[0546] The apparatus used to perform the measurements is a TA Instruments DSC Q20 reference apparatus. This apparatus measures the energy flow during the heating of the sample. The temperature at which the energy flow is greatest represents the denaturation temperature. (iii) results

[0547] The results of the measurements of the denaturation temperature (Td) of each of the strands treated according to the protocol described above are summarized in the following table and correspond to the average of 3 measurements carried out per strand.

[0548] [Tables3] Td (°C) SD* Natural strand (before bleaching treatment) 153.31 1.36 Untreated bleached strand 138.73 0.75 Bleached strand treated 5 times with composition C 161.55 0.45 Bleached strand treated 5 times with composition C' 140.8 0.32

[0549] *SD = standard deviation

[0550] These results show that the use of the composition according to the invention increases the binding density of keratin proteins present in the cortex of treated hair, thus making it possible to repair damaged hair.

[0551] Moreover, the denaturation temperature for the strands treated according to the present invention is better than that measured for natural and undamaged hair, thus showing that the hair is repaired.
