[0001] The present disclosure relates to cosmetic formulations and methods of use, and eyebrow primers in particular. CONTEXT

[0002] Consumers can use eyebrow gels to enhance the characteristics of their eyebrows. However, conventional eyebrow gels become dry and flake even after less than a day of use, making the eyebrows appear stiff or crunchy.

The eyebrow primer may include at least 5% by weight of a clear filler, a polyacrylamide thickener, at least 2% by weight of one or more high HLB surfactants, and a water-dispersed latex polymer. In preferred embodiments, the eyebrow primer may be substantially free of oils. In some embodiments, the eyebrow primer may be free of pigments. In some embodiments, the eyebrow primer may be free of clays, such as hectorite.

[0004] In some embodiments, the transparent filler may include talc, mica, silica, polyamide powders, poly-[3-3-alanine] powders; polyethylene powders; polyurethane powders, lauroyl lysine; starch; boron nitride; polymeric hollow microspheres, silicone resin powders, silica hollow microspheres; glass microcapsules; ceramic microcapsules; or a combination thereof.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0010] As used herein, the phrase "about [a number]" is intended to include values rounded to the appropriate significant figure. Thus, "about 1" is intended to include values between 0.5 and 1.5, while "about 1.0" is intended to include values between 0.95 and 1.05.

[0011] As used herein, the term "at least one" means one or more and therefore includes individual components as well as mixtures / combinations.

[0012] In this document, the expression "between [two numbers]" is intended to include both of these numbers. For example, "x is between 1 and 2" is intended to cover 1 < x < 2. The expression "x is between about 1 and about 2" would be intended to cover 0.95 < x < 2.05.

[0013] As used herein, the term "free from [an ingredient]" means that the composition contains no detectable amount of the identified ingredient. As used herein, the term "substantially free from [an ingredient]" means that the composition contains less than 1% of the identified ingredient.

[0014] In this document, the terms "include", "includes" and "including" are intended to be non-limiting.

[0015] All concentrations are expressed as percentage by weight on an active basis, unless otherwise indicated. Eyebrow Primer

[0147] Goniochromatic pigments

[0148] In this document, the term "goniochromatic pigment" designates a pigment which makes it possible to obtain, when the composition is spread on a substrate, a chromatic distance in the a*b* plane of the CIE 1976 colorimetric space which corresponds to a variation Dh° of the hue angle h° of at least 20° when the observation angle varies with respect to the normal between 0° and 80°, for an angle of incidence of the light of 45°.

[0149] The colorimetric distance can be measured, for example, using a spectrogonioreflectometer of the Instrument Systems brand and with the reference GON 360 Goniometer, after the composition has been spread in the fluid state with a thickness of 300 qm using an automatic spreader on a contrast card of the Erichsen brand and with the reference Type 24 / 5, the measurement being carried out on the black context of the card.

[0150] The goniochromatic pigment may be selected, for example, from multilayer interference structures and liquid crystal coloring agents.

[0151] In the case of a multilayer structure, this may comprise, for example, at least two layers, each layer being made, for example, from at least one material chosen from the group consisting of the following materials: MgF2, CeF3, ZnS, ZnSe, Si, SiO2, Ge, Te, Fe2O3, Pt, Va, A12O3, MgO, Y2O3, S2O3, SiO, HfO2, ZrO2, CeO2, Nb2O5, Ta2O5, TiO2, Ag, Al, Au, Cu, Rb, Ti, Ta, W, Zn, MoS2, cryolite, alloys, polymers and combinations thereof.

[0152] The multilayer structure may or may not have, with respect to a central layer, a symmetry relative to the chemical nature of the stacked layers.

[0153] Different effects are obtained depending on the thickness and nature of the different layers.

[0154] Examples of symmetrical multilayer interference structures are, for example, the following structures: Fe2O3 / SiO2 / Fe2O3 / SiO2 / Fe2O3, a pigment having this structure being sold under the name Sicopearl by BASF; MoS2 / SiO2 / mica-oxide / SiO2 / MoS2; Fe2O3 / SiO2 / mica-oxide / SiO2 / Fe2O3; TiO2 / SiO2 / TiO2 and TiO2 / Al2O3 / TiO2, pigments having these structures being sold under the name Xirona by Merck.

[0155] Liquid crystal coloring agents include, for example, silicones or cellulose ethers onto which mesomorphic groups are grafted. Examples of liquid crystal goniochromatic particles that may be used are those sold by Chenix and those sold under the name Helicone® HC by Wacker.

[0156] It is also possible to use, as goniochromatic pigment, certain pearlescent agents, pigments with effects on a synthetic substrate, in particular a substrate of the alumina, silica, borosilicate, iron oxide or aluminum type, or interference flakes resulting from a polyethylene terephthalate film.

[0157] In particular, as non-limiting examples of goniochromatic pigments, alone or in a mixture, mention may be made of the goniochromatic pigments SunShine® sold by Sun Chemical, Cosmicolor Celeste® from Toyo Aluminum KK, Xirona® from Merck and Reflecks Multidimensions® from BASF.

In some embodiments, the eyebrow makeup composition is a composition for an eyebrow pencil. In some embodiments, the eyebrow makeup composition is a powder. In some embodiments, the eyebrow makeup composition is a warm pour applied with a brush. Examples

[0162] The exemplary formulas shown in Table 1, below, were produced by combining the necessary materials, heating them to about 70-75°C, mixing them until homogeneous, and cooling them to room temperature.

[0163] [Tables 1] Material Ex 1 Ex2 Water 60-65 60-65 Transparent filler 8.0-10.0 8.0-10.0 High HLB surfactants 6.0-8.0 6.0-8.0 Polyacrylamide thickener (acrylamide / sodium acryloyldimethyltaurate copolymer) 0.5-0.99 0.5-0.99 Latex polymer (styrene / acrylates / ammonium methacrylate copolymer) 2.0-3.0 - Latex polymer (Polyacrylate-21) - 2.0-3.0 water-soluble polymer 3-3.5 3-3.5 Polyhydric alcohol (Glycerin) 6.0-8.0 6.0-8.0 Polyhydric alcohol (Glycols) 3-3.5 3-3.5 Additional surfactant (low HLB nonionic surfactants) 1.0-2.0 1.0-2.0 Additional surfactant (anionic surfactant) 0.001-0.1 0.001-0.1 Chelating agent 0.001-0.1 0.001-0.1 Preservative 0.5-0.89 0.5-0.89 Oil 0.25-0.75 0.25-0.75

[0164] (Exemplary formulas, with two different latex polymers)

[0165] The products were reviewed by a panel of experts, using in vivo testing and subjective analysis, and compared to a competing, commercially available eyebrow gel product. The products were first examined for a series of application and product-related features, with each feature rated on a scale of 0 to 100%. Two features were applicator depositing a large amount of product, and applicator depositing too much product. Here, the exemplary formula scored statistically significantly lower for both (5% exemplary vs. 57% competitor for high deposition, and 0% exemplary vs. 48% competitor for too much product deposition), indicating a surprisingly more controlled user application experience. The exemplary formula was also compared for its visibility on the brows and, again, the exemplary formula scored statistically significantly lower (20% exemplary vs. 56% competitor), indicating that, surprisingly, the exemplary formulas are much less visible on the brows.

[0166] The products were then examined for a series of features related to the appearance and feel of the eyebrows immediately after application. Two features were considered: whether the product gave the eyebrows a bushy appearance or a flattened appearance. Here, the exemplary formula gave a statistically significant lower score for both (0% exemplary vs. 22% competitor for bushiness, 10% exemplary vs. 45% competitor for flattened appearance), indicating a surprisingly more aesthetic appearance.

[0167] Finally, the products were examined for a series of features related to the appearance and feel of the eyebrows 8 hours after application. One feature considered was whether the product gave the impression that the eyebrows were flattened. Here, the exemplary formula gave a statistically significant lower score (10% exemplary vs. 40% competitor for flattened), indicating a more aesthetic appearance even after 8 hours of use.

[0168] Those skilled in the art will recognize or be able to establish, by simple routine experimentation, numerous equivalents to the specific embodiments of the invention described herein. Such equivalents are intended to be encompassed by the following claims.
