Description

Title of the invention: Aqueous makeup remover composition with gentle peeling effect

[0001] The present invention relates to an aqueous cosmetic composition, in particular a micellar make-up remover water with a gentle peeling effect, containing a combination of polyhydroxy acid(s) (PHA) and hydroxy acid(s) (AHA / BHA), at least one amphoteric surfactant, preferably of the betaine type, and at least one non-ionic surfactant.

[0002] Removing make-up from the skin is very important for the care of keratin materials, in particular the skin, face, eyelids, lips but also keratin fibres such as eyelashes. It must be as effective as possible because oily residues, such as excess sebum, residues of cosmetic products used daily and make-up products, in particular water-resistant ones, accumulate in particular in the skin folds and on the surface of the skin, and can clog the pores of the skin and thus cause the appearance of spots.

[0003] More particularly, the sensitivity of the eye and the eyelids and the nature of certain eyeshadows (waterproof eyeshadows) require makeup remover formulations specially adapted to guarantee both good ocular tolerance and maintenance of the skin barrier, at the same time as easy and effective makeup removal.

[0004] The majority of available makeup remover compositions are compositions comprising oils, these allowing the dissolution of fatty residues and the dispersion of residual pigments. Mention may in particular be made of two-phase compositions, i.e. consisting of two distinct phases, in particular an aqueous phase and an oily phase, which require prior stirring before application. Such formulations allow good makeup removal, are well tolerated, but leave a finish on the skin which is often greasy.

[0005] There are also micellar waters, which are fluid single-phase compositions that provide freshness upon application. Such compositions are not always effective in removing makeup and cleansing the skin, and generally do not provide any additional benefits, particularly in terms of cell renewal.

[0006] There therefore remains a need for effective and well-tolerated makeup remover compositions, which have a liquid and fresh texture, and which provide a benefit upon application, and in particular on cell renewal, while respecting sensitive skin.

[0007] Peels are a well-known way to accelerate cell renewal, improve the surface appearance of the skin, particularly to treat or smooth out irregularities. visible and / or tactile regularities of human skin. These peels have the effect of removing part of the skin to be treated (epidermis and possibly the superficial layer of the dermis), by applying compositions containing high concentrations of agents stimulating skin desquamation, such as hydroxy acids like glycolic acid or salicylic acid. Although giving satisfactory results in terms of peeling effect, the products used for peels generally contain acids at high concentrations giving compositions of pH < 2, and therefore cause significant discomfort during application and after application: redness, stinging, burning sensation.

[0008] Some foaming cleansing products claim a neutral pH (7) and a peeling effect, but the peeling effect proves to be insufficient because a neutral pH (7) is generally not compatible with the effectiveness of the hydroxy acids used as peeling active ingredients. On the other hand, these foaming products contain surfactants, and require rinsing, which can lead to skin dryness, or even aggravate possible skin intolerance.

[0009] There therefore remains a need for new types of compositions which are both effective in terms of makeup removal and cell renewal, and have good skin and eye tolerance compatible with eye makeup removal.

[0010] The Applicant has surprisingly discovered that an aqueous composition comprising the combination of at least one polyhydroxy acid (PHA), at least one hydroxy acid (AHA / BHA), and at least one amphoteric surfactant, preferably of the betaine type, combined with the presence of at least one non-ionic surfactant such as a polyoxamer, allows both effective makeup removal and cell renewal, with very good ocular tolerance and good maintenance of the skin barrier.

[0011] The present invention thus relates to a liquid aqueous composition, preferably a micellar water for removing make-up and / or cleansing keratin materials, comprising: at least one polyhydroxy acid (PHA), at least one hydroxy acid chosen from alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA) and / or beta-hydroxy acids (BHA), at least one amphoteric surfactant, preferably of the betaine type, at least one non-ionic surfactant, and water.

[0012] Advantageously, the composition according to the invention is single-phase aqueous, and has a fluid and transparent appearance similar to water under ambient conditions of temperature (25°C) and pressure (100 kPa).

[0013] The present invention also relates to a process for removing make-up and / or cleaning keratin materials, preferably the skin and / or keratin fibers such as the eyelashes, comprising the application to the keratin materials of a composition according to the invention.

[0014] By "keratin materials" is meant the skin, the mucous membranes and / or the appendages. Preferably, the keratin materials are the skin, in particular the skin of the face, the mucous membranes such as the lips, the eyelids, the eye contour, and / or the appendages such as the eyelashes.

[0015] The components of the composition according to the invention are now described in more detail. Aqueous phase

[0016] The composition according to the invention comprises a physiologically acceptable aqueous phase. By "physiologically acceptable" is meant a medium compatible with keratin materials.

[0017] The composition according to the invention preferably comprises an aqueous phase comprising water, in particular at least 50% water, and optionally one or more organic solvent(s) soluble in water, at 25°C. This (these) solvent(s) may advantageously be chosen, for example, from polyols having in particular from 2 to 20 carbon atoms, preferably from 2 to 6 carbon atoms, such as glycerol, diglycerol, propylene glycol, isoprene glycol, dipropylene glycol, butylene glycol, hexylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, pentylene glycol, polyethylene glycols having from 2 to 200 ethylene oxide units, and mixtures thereof.

[0018] The composition generally comprises from 50 to 99% by weight of water relative to the total weight of the composition, preferably from 70 to 98% by weight, preferably from 80 to 98% by weight, preferably from 85 to 97% by weight of water, relative to the total weight of the composition.

[0019] The amount of organic solvent(s) may range, for example, from 0.01 to 15% by weight, preferably from 0.5 to 13% by weight, better still from 1 to 10% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.

[0020] The aqueous phase of the composition according to the invention also comprises: at least one polyhydroxy acid (PHA), at least one hydroxy acid chosen from alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA) and / or beta-hydroxy acids (BHA), at least one amphoteric surfactant, preferably of the betaine type, at least one non-ionic surfactant. Polyhydroxy acids or polyhydroxy acids or PHA

[0021] The composition according to the present invention comprises at least one first compound chosen from polyhydroxylated acids, and their derivatives in the form of salts or their lactone forms.

[0022] The term "polyhydroxy acid" refers to an organic compound that has at least one carboxyl group and a plurality of hydroxy groups. The number of carboxyl groups in the polyhydroxy acid is not limited, but one or two carboxyl groups are preferred, with one carboxyl group being more preferable. The number of hydroxyl groups in the polyhydroxy acid is also not limited, but 2 to 10 are preferred, and 2 to 6 are even more preferred. The number of carbon atoms in the polyhydroxy acid is not limited, but preferably the PHA contains 3 to 11 carbon atoms, preferably 3 to 8.

[0023] The PHA may be aliphatic or aromatic. In other words, the polyhydroxy acid may be selected from aliphatic polyhydroxy acids or aromatic polyhydroxy acids. Preferably, the aliphatic polyhydroxy acid is selected from sugar acids.

[0024] The polyhydroxy acid is advantageously chosen from: dihydroxy-propanoic acid, such as glyceric acid; trihydroxy-butanoic acid such as erythronic acid and threonic acid; tetrahydroxy-pentanoic acid such as ribonic acid, arabinoic acid, xylonic acid and lyxonic acid; pentahydroxy-hexanoic acid such as allonic acid, altronic acid, gluconic acid, mannoic acid, gulonic acid, idonic acid, galactose, galactonic acid and talonic acid; hexhydroxy-heptanoic acid such as glucoheptanoic acid, galactoheptonic acid; tartaric acid; lactobionic acid, maltobionic acid, their derivatives in the form of salts or their lactone forms such as gluconolactone or ribonolactone, and their mixtures.

[0025] The type of salt is not limited. Examples of salts include alkali metal salts such as sodium salt and potassium salt; alkaline earth metal salts such as calcium salt and magnesium salt; zinc salts; iron salts; ammonium salts; amine salts such as monoethanolamine salt, diethanolamine salt and triethanolamine salt; and mixtures thereof. Sodium salt is preferable. If two or more acid salts are used, they may be the same or different.

[0026] Advantageously, the polyhydroxy acid is in the form of a lactone. The lactone ring is preferably saturated; and preferably in this case, the polyhydroxy acid is chosen from gluconolactone, ribonolactone, and mixtures thereof.

[0027] Among the list of PHAs that can be used according to the invention, galactose is also included, although it is a hexose from the aldose family, it is pentahydroxylated, and can be used as a gentle exfoliant.

[0028] Preferably, the polyhydroxy acid according to the invention is therefore chosen from: lactobionic acid, galactose, gluconic acid, gluconolactone, and mixtures thereof. Advantageously, the aqueous composition according to the invention uses one or more PHAs, so as to select or combine their effects. For example, lactobionic acid, derived from lactose, is moisturizing, antioxidant and soothing. Galactose, which is naturally found in the deep layers of the skin, has an action on the production of collagen. Gluconic acid, gluconolactone, like galactose, are naturally present in skin cells. Their role is antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.

[0029] Preferably, said polyhydroxy acid used in the composition according to the invention is gluconolactone.

[0030] The amount of PHA in the composition according to the present invention is in the range of 0.1% to 5%, preferably 0.2 to 4%, preferably 0.5 to 3%, preferably 1 to 2% by weight (of active material) relative to the total weight of the composition. Hydroxyacids

[0031] In addition, the composition according to the invention comprises at least one hydroxy acid different from the PHA(s), chosen from alpha-hydroxy acids, beta-hydroxy acids, and mixtures thereof.

[0032] Alpha-hydroxy acids (also called AHAs or alpha-hydroxy acids)

[0033] By "alpha-hydroxy acid" is meant a carboxylic acid having at least one hydroxyl functional group occupying an alpha position on said acid (carbon adjacent to a carboxylic acid functional group).

[0034] The α-hydroxy acids (alpha-hydroxy acids) are in particular chosen from glycolic acid, citric acid, lactic acid, methyllactic acid, glucuronic acid, pyruvic acid, 2-hydroxybutanoic acid, 2-hydroxypentanoic acid, 2-hydroxyhexanoic acid, 2-hydroxyheptanoic acid, 2-hydroxyoctanoic acid, 2-hydroxynonanoic acid, 2-hydroxydecanoic acid, 2-hydroxyundecanoic acid, 2-hydroxydodecanoic acid, 2-hydroxytetradecanoic acid, 2-hydroxyhexadecanoic acid, 2-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid, 2-hydroxytetracosanoic acid, 2-hydroxyeicosanoic acid; mandelic acid; phenyllactic acid; galacturonic acid; aleuritic acid; tartronic acid; tartaric acid; malic acid; fumaric acid; their esters, their salts and their mixtures. Mixtures of these different acids can also be used.

[0035] Advantageously, the alphahydroxy acid(s) is(are) chosen from glycolic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, mandelic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, their esters, their salts, and their mixtures. Thus, glycolic acid (which is derived from sugar cane) is one of the most effective AHAs, because its smaller molecule allows it to exfoliate more deeply into the skin. It refines skin texture and gives radiance to the complexion. Glycolic acid is also said to have a slight reducing effect on sebum production. Lactic acid comes from the fermentation of milk but is also found in several fruits. It is one of the mildest acids, so it is ideal for dry and sensitive skin. It is an excellent natural humectant. It attracts water and retains it in the skin. Regarding malic acid, it is found in particular in Apples, pears, grapes. It is often used in cosmetic preparations to rebalance their pH, but on the skin, it is also said to have moisturizing properties and helps stimulate collagen production. It can penetrate very deeply into the skin thanks to its small molecular size. Mandelic acid, from almonds, is one of the gentlest AHAs because its molecular size is larger than that of other acids and therefore limits its ability to absorb deep into the skin. It acts more on the surface, and is therefore less irritating than other acids that act more intensely. It also helps reduce hyperpigmentation and even out skin tone. Tartaric acid comes from grapes. This acid has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Citric acid, comes from citrus fruits. It is mainly used for its lightening properties on dark spots and hyperpigmentation.It is also astringent so can also reduce pore size. Advantageously, the aqueous composition according to the invention uses several AHAs in order to combine their effects.

[0036] More particularly, the alphahydroxy acid(s) is(are) chosen from glycolic acid, citric acid, lactic acid, their salts, their esters, and their mixtures.

[0037] Ester derivatives include in particular ester compounds of glycolic acid, lactic acid, such as methyl lactate, ethyl lactate, butyl lactate and, likewise, ester compounds of glycolic acid, tartaric acid, mandelic acid, citric acid.

[0038] Particularly suitable alpha-hydroxy acids in the composition of the present invention are glycolic acid, lactic acid, and mixtures thereof.

[0039] Preferably, the alpha-hydroxy acid in the aqueous composition of the present invention is glycolic acid.

[0040] Beta-hydroxyacids (also called BHA or beta-hydroxy acids)

[0041] For the purposes of the present invention, the term “beta-hydroxy acid” means a carboxylic acid having a hydroxyl functional group and a carboxylic functional group separated by two carbon atoms.

[0042] The b-hydroxy acid(s) (beta-hydroxy acid(s)) are in particular chosen from: salicylic acid, beta-hydroxypropionic acid, beta-hydroxybutyric acid, beta-hydroxymethylbutyric acid, carnitine, their derivatives and their combinations. Preferably, the beta-hydroxy acid is chosen from salicylic acid and its derivatives.

[0043] Advantageously, the composition according to the invention comprises at least one compound chosen from salicylic acid and its derivatives.

[0044] Salicylic acid, or 2-hydroxybenzoic acid, is an active agent, particularly for anti-blemish treatment.

[0045] Alternatively, a salicylic acid derivative is present. The salicylic acid derivatives are preferably those of formula (I):

[0051] Preferably, the beta-hydroxy acid is salicylic acid.

[0052] Advantageously, salicylic acid, or 2-hydroxybenzoic acid, is used as the sole hydroxy acid or in combination with an AHA to ensure increased penetration of the composition into the skin.

[0053] For the purposes of the invention, the salts of these hydroxy acids are also considered. The salts can be obtained by salification of the acid in question with an organic or mineral base. As mineral bases, particular mention may be made of hydroxylated bases of alkalis or alkaline-earth metals, such as, for example, sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide and ammonia.

[0120] Preferably, the composition according to the invention is substantially free of oily phase (also called fatty phase). By "substantially free of oily phase" is meant that the composition according to the invention has an oily phase content of less than or equal to 2% by weight, preferably less than or equal to 1% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, preferably less than or equal to 0.5% by weight, preferentially less than or equal to 0.2%, or even less than or equal to 0.1%, by weight. Advantageously, the composition according to the invention is completely free of oily phase.

[0121] Oil is understood to mean a fatty substance in liquid form at room temperature (20 to 25°C) and at atmospheric pressure (760 mm Hg). The "fatty substance" comprises at least one "fatty" hydrocarbon chain, i.e. a linear hydrocarbon chain of at least 4 carbon atoms, unsaturated or unsaturated, optionally substituted, and in particular a linear C5-C30 hydrocarbon chain, preferably C8-C30.

[0122] When present in the composition according to the invention, the oily phase comprises at least one oil. Preferably, the oily phase of the composition according to the invention comprises at least one vegetable oil. The oil(s) of the oily phase are preferably chosen from jojoba seed oil, sweet almond oil, deodorized refined white meadowfoam oil, avocado oil, castor oil, olive oil, sunflower oil, wheat germ oil, sesame oil, peanut oil, grape seed oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, safflower oil, coconut oil, corn oil, hazelnut oil, palm oil, apricot kernel oil and calophyllum oil and mixtures thereof.

[0123] The oily phase may also comprise at least one volatile apolar hydrocarbon oil, preferably chosen from hydrocarbon oils having from 8 to 28 carbon atoms, and in particular branched C15-C19 alkanes, such as those marketed by Seppic under the name EMOGREEN L19.

[0127] Preferably, when present in the composition according to the invention, the oily phase forms with the aqueous phase two distinct phases which are not emulsified in each other at rest, and the composition according to the invention is then preferably in the form of a "two-phase composition". Two-phase compositions are distinguished from emulsions by the fact that at rest, the two phases are distinct instead of being emulsified in each other. The use of these two-phase compositions requires prior stirring in order to form an emulsion, which must be of sufficient quality and stability to allow homogeneous application of the two phases to the skin or keratin material where it is applied. At rest, said phases must separate rapidly and return to their initial state, this phenomenon being better known under the term "phase separation" or "demixing".Advantageously, in this case, the aqueous phase / oil phase weight ratio of the two-phase product according to the invention is in the range from 95 / 5 to 55 / 45, preferably in the range from 95 / 5 to 65 / 35, preferably from 90 / 10 to 70 / 30, preferably from 90 / 10 to 80 / 20.

[0128] This alternative with optional oily phase nevertheless remains the least preferred since, as indicated above, the composition according to the invention is preferably substantially free of oily phase, the composition according to the invention having an oily phase content preferably less than or equal to 2% by weight.

The measurement of turbidity is carried out, for example, with a turbidimeter model 2100P from Hach Company, the tubes used for the measurement being referenced AR397A cat 24347-06. The measurements are carried out at room temperature (20°C to 25°C). Preferably, the composition is transparent and has a turbidity value of between 1 and 20 NTU, preferably between 1 and 15 NTU, preferably less than 10 NTU.

[0132] The present invention also relates to the use of the composition as defined above for removing make-up and / or cleaning keratin materials, preferably the skin and / or mucous membranes (such as the lips) and / or keratin fibers (such as eyelashes).

[0133] The present invention also relates to a method for removing make-up and / or cleaning keratin materials, preferably the skin and / or mucous membranes (such as the lips, the eye contour, or the eyelids) and / or keratin fibers (such as eyelashes), comprising the application to the keratin materials of a composition according to the invention.

[0138] 1- Evaluation of cell renewal by skin labeling with chloride ansvle

[0139] Principle: The movement of cells through the stratum corneum of the epidermis to the skin surface is a function of the rate of new cell production. Dansyl chloride has been reported to bind strongly to amino acids and has become useful as a fluorescent label for proteins. The disappearance of the fluorescent label from the stratum corneum is an indicator of cell movement through the epidermis and can therefore be considered a measure of the rate of cell proliferation, often referred to as cell turnover.

[0140] Protocol: Subjects: N = 29 healthy women aged 39 to 63 years; Study duration: 22 days; Measurement points taken at the following evaluation times: Days: D3, D5, D7, and D22

[0141] Test design: Two 3.5 x 3.5 cm patches containing 0.2 g of dansyl chloride (5% in petrolatum) are applied to a randomized volar forearm. The patches will be left in place for 24 hours to allow saturation of the skin with dansyl chloride. After patch removal, the baseline level of fluorescence is assessed in a dark room under Wood's lamp illumination.

[0142] Subjects apply the test product to the assigned area (avoiding the untreated control area) on the palmar forearm once daily in the evening for the duration of the study. At the test site, a cotton pad saturated with the product (composition) to be tested (test material) is used. Apply the test material by gently wiping a saturated cotton pad over the designated test site on the palmar surface of the right or left forearm. The control (untreated) forearm site remains untreated throughout the study and is wiped with water-saturated cotton pads at the same frequency as the test material.

[0143] Subjects returned for fluorescence assessment every day for 22 consecutive days (less weekends). Cumulative mean fluorescence scores for treated and untreated sites were tabulated at days 3, 5, 7, and 22 and compared via statistical analysis: a P value <0.05 indicates that the result is significant (in bold in the following tables), i.e., a statistically significant improvement is obtained compared to the control.

[0144] Formula tested: Ex25 at Day 5, Day 7, and Day 23.

[0145] The table below shows the total cumulative fluorescence scores for the Ex25 formula (“treated” site) and the reference or “control” value (“untreated” site); then the P value obtained using the Wilcoxon signed rank test method indicates whether the result obtained is significant.

[0146] [Tables2] Measurement point Treated / untreated (control) site Mean Standard deviation Median Wilcoxon signed rank test Statistical significance (Yes if P <0.05) P value Day 3 treated 14.57 0.50 15.00 0.3458 Non-control 14.63 0.49 Day 5 treated 22.38 1.76 22.50 0.0011 control 22.97 1.31 22.50 Day 7 treated 29.57 3.19 29.00 0.0011 control 30.90 2.31 30.00 Day 23 treated 48.67 5.96 48.00 <0.001 control 53.70 5.06 52.00

[0147] The table below indicates the number of days for cell renewal at the site “Treated” by the formula according to the present invention Ex25 compared to the untreated site (“Control”):

[0148] [Tables3] Treated / Untreated (Control) Test Site Mean Standard Deviation Median Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test P-Value Treated 9.93 2.15 9.50 < 0.001 Control 12.43 2.70 11.00

[0149] Table 3 shows that cell renewal at the site “Treated” by the formula according to the present invention Ex25 is faster than that of the untreated site (“Control”).

[0150] Table 4 below displays the area under the curve (AUC) results, graphically representing the daily fluorescence dye score over the duration of the study.

[0151] [Tables4] Treated / Untreated (Control) Test Site Mean Standard Deviation Median Paired t-test P-value Treated 45.67 5.96 45.00 < 0.001 Control 50.70 5.06 49.00

[0152] It was thus demonstrated that this score (ASC) on the treated site was lower than the score (ASC) obtained for the control site, with a significant difference. Conclusion of the cell renewal test:

[0153] Table 2 shows the total fluorescence scores at days 3, 5, 7, and 23. A lower total score represents a decrease in the stratum corneum dansyl chloride fluorescence marker, and therefore signals the timing of cell turnover. The treated sites showed lower total cumulative fluorescence scores (by statistically significant difference) at day 5, day 7, and day 23 compared to the untreated control site. Table 3 shows that the treated sites have a statistically significant faster cell turnover rate (in days) compared to the untreated control site. Finally, the area under the curve (AUC), shown in Table 4, corresponds to the daily fluorescence dye score over the entire study period. It was also shown that the AUC for the treated site was lower (significant difference) than the AUC at the control site.

[0154] Thus, the composition according to the present invention, tested under the conditions of this study, helps to accelerate cell renewal compared to the untreated control site. 2- Measurement of insensible water loss (PIE)

[0155] The effectiveness of the Ex25 formula on insensible water loss by biometric measurement was objectively evaluated.

[0156] Panel: 24 women aged between 27 and 65 years (mean = 54 years), with a PIE value > 6 gm 2.h 1 on the anterior surface of the forearms.

[0157] Treatment: The product was applied in one go, with a single-use finger cot, by the technician to a defined area of the forearm, in an amount of 2 mg / cm2.

[0158] Evaluation: A Courage&Khazaka Tewameter® was used as a measuring device for evaluating the rate of transepidermal water loss or TEWL (in English “Transepidermal Waterloss” or PIE).

[0159] The measurement is made at T0 and Tlh after application of the product.

[0160] Results:

[0161] The average improvement rate of the PIE in % is obtained by the following calculation method: "H iresr. [....................x iCCj -1....................x 100} TJ* Hey T :>' TÏWL T<

[0162] In which T0: average of the PIE level values at T0; Ti: average of the PIE level values at Ti (i = Ih in the present example); “P”: the measurement is relative to the product tested / to the site treated by the product tested; “Te”: the measurement is relative to the control / to the untreated site.

[0163] [Tables5] N= 24 Site Mean of 24 measurements ± SD P-value (mean value at treated site vs. untreated site) Mean change from baseline (± SD) Mean TEWL improvement rate in % P-value (T-test) baseline, T0 treated 9.08 + 1.73 p=0.346 NS / Not Significant untreated 9.34 + 1.95 T1 hour treated 8.12 + 2.08 -0.96 + 0.79 -6.8% p=0.002 S / Significant untreated 8.98 + 1.99 -0.36 + 0.36

[0164] Conclusion: The formula according to the invention Ex25 significantly reduces the TEWL (transepidermal water loss) on the treated site compared to the control site (untreated), 1 hour after application. The composition of the present invention has a dermoprotective effect. 3- Test of effectiveness perceived by consumers

[0175] - Ophthalmological result: product very well tolerated.

[0176] - 94% of subjects reported that the product was suitable for the skin.

[0177] 5- Efficacy test for the peeling effect or desquamating effect

[0178] In this test, the peeling effect is related to the ability of the sample to induce corneocytes by detachment or peeling, at D13 (13 days) after topical treatment on EPISKIN® reconstructed skin (mono application, treatment over 20 min). Corneocyte detachment is indirectly quantified by measuring the total protein concentration in the rinsing liquid (BCA assay). The desquamation potential (corneocyte detachment) was evaluated on several formulas and compared to the effect of a 30% aqueous solution of glycolic acid (the reference). The responses are measured in pg / ml of proteins from the detached corneocytes. Three batches of Episkin are used for each study (n=3 per batch and per condition).

[0179] The evaluation of the peeling effect of the formulas in Table 7 is done by comparing the results of the tested formula with that obtained with 30% glycolic acid in water (Ref.) forming the reference line representing 100% effectiveness.

[0181] Results: A peeling effect of at least 60% was demonstrated with a micellar water according to the invention (Exl5, Exl6) combining PHA (gluconolactone), AHA (glycolic acid), amphoteric surfactant of betaine type (coco-betaine), and non-ionic surfactants (poloxamer 184, polysorbate 20). The tested formula Exl5 is the most effective for a peeling effect which reaches at least 80% of the reference level. In particular at Exl5, a peeling effect greater than 80% was demonstrated with a micellar water according to the invention combining 1% gluconolactone, 0.41% glycolic acid, 0.5% poloxamer and 0.5% polysorbate 20. On the contrary, for the other formulas not in accordance with the invention (Cp3 to Cp7), the peeling effect is insufficient, because it is less than 50% of the reference level.

[0182] 6- Evaluation of the impact of different ingredients on the peeling effect

[0183] Test used: As in the previous test, the peeling or desquamating effect is linked to the sample capacity to induce corneocyte detachment after topical treatment on D13 EpiSkin reconstructed epidermis. Corneocyte detachment is indirectly quantified by measuring the total protein concentration in the rinsing liquid (BCA assay). The objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of Poloxamer 184, Hexylene Glycol and Polysorbate 20, tested alone or in different combinations, on the peeling effect.

[0184] The peeling effect (detachment of corneocytes) was evaluated on several formulas and 3 simplex (% in water) described in table 8 below:

[0185] [Tables8] INCI US Ref Exl8 Ex20 Ex22 Ex24 Cp27 Cp28 Cp29 WATER 70 96.50 96.50 96.00 94.00 99.50 98.00 99.5 GLYCERIN 1.06 1.06 1.06 1.06 HEXYLENE GLYCOL 2.00 2.00 GLUCONOLACTONE 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 GLYCOLIC ACID 30 0.41 0.41 0.41 0.41 COCO-BETAINE 0.15 0.15 0.15 0.15 POLOXAMER 184 0.50 0.50 0.50 0.50 POLYSORBATE 20 0.50 0.50 0.50 0.50 SODIUM HYDROXIDE 0.35 0.35 0.35 0.35 SODIUM CHLORIDE 0.03 0.03 0.03 0.03 Peeling Effect (% Ref.) 100 92 60 88 95 50 30 52

[0186] Under the experimental conditions of this study (mono application, 20 min):

[0187] - The peeling effect of the formulas according to the invention (Exl8, 20, 22, 24) is confirmed;

[0188] - No peeling effect was observed with the 3 simplex formulas (Cp27, 28, 29): Poloxamer 184 (0.5%), Hexylene glycol (2%) or Polysorbate 20 (0.5%) in water.

[0189] - The presence of poloxamer in formulas Exl8, 22, 24 boosts the peeling effect which is of the order of 90% of that of the reference (100%) of glycolic acid at 30% in water.

[0190] A clear improvement in the peeling effect, or even a synergistic effect, is observed by combining the non-ionic poloxamer surfactant and the “PHA, AHA, and amphoteric coco-betaine surfactant base”, in examples 18, 22 and 24 according to the invention.

[0191] - The association of active ingredients according to a weight content of PHA > AHA > coco-betaine and poloxamer in the compositions according to the invention, not only exceeds the peeling effects of each of the ingredients taken alone (there is a synergy), but above all these formulas present an effectiveness comparable to that of the reference glycolic acid at 30% in water.

[0192] In conclusion, the tested associations in accordance with the present invention provide a peeling benefit comparable to that of the glycolic acid reference. 7- Micellarity measurement:

[0193] Tensiometry data for formula Ex25 showed a decreasing slope of surface tension and after a certain concentration, the surface tension no longer changes. The intersection of the slope and the surface tension plateau indicates the presence of micelles in the formula.

[0194] DLS plots showed a peak around 5-10 nm which corresponds to the presence of micelles in the Ex25 formula, whereas no such peak was observed in the placebo.
