Description

Title of the invention: Composition comprising an anti-aging active ingredient and the combination of two specific surfactants, a superabsorbent polymer and silica

[0001] The present invention relates to a skincare composition which has an improved sensory experience both during and after application.

[0002] In the field of cosmetic skincare, cosmetic compositions that provide both good sensory properties and a skincare effect are increasingly sought after by users. A skincare effect refers, for example, to an effect against dryness or aging of keratinous materials, particularly the skin, this effect being provided by active agents.

[0003] However, obtaining this dual effect (good sensory properties and care effect) requires the ability to introduce hydrophilic active ingredient(s) in sufficient quantity into the composition without compromising the sensory experience which could be affected by the galenic chosen to incorporate said active ingredient(s).

[0004] To date, a wide variety of skincare compositions are already known and effective, but their sensory appeal still needs to be improved.

[0005] There is therefore a need for skincare compositions, in particular anti-aging compositions, with improved sensoriality.

[0006] In particular, there is a need for skincare compositions, especially anti-aging compositions, which provide a bouncy effect to the skin while offering improved sensoriality.

[0007] In particular, there is a need for skincare compositions, especially anti-aging compositions, which provide in particular a plumping effect to the skin while providing a less oily finish and / or a higher glide sensation and / or a lower film-forming sensation and a cooling effect upon application.

[0008] The inventors have now discovered that combining silica and a superabsorbent polymer selected from among starches grafted with an acrylic polymer in a composition comprising an anti-aging active ingredient and two specific surfactants makes it possible to obtain a skincare composition with improved sensoriality, in particular providing a plumping effect to the skin while delivering a less greasy finish and / or a greater glide and / or a lower film-forming sensation and a cooling effect upon application. Indeed, it has been discovered that, surprisingly, the combination of the superabsorbent polymer and silica significantly reduces the linear viscoelastic range of the composition, allowing for an even stronger sensation of product transformation and therefore enhanced sensoriality. improved, compared to compositions containing neither superabsorbent polymer nor silica, or only one of the two.

[0009] Thus, the present invention relates to a composition comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium:

[0010] - at least one anti-aging active ingredient,

[0011] - a superabsorbent polymer selected from starches grafted by a polymer acrylic,

[0012] - a first surfactant selected from fatty acid esters and polyethylene glycol comprising 20 to 50 units of ethylene oxide,

[0013] - a second surfactant selected from C16-C22 fatty acid esters and sorbitan, and

[0014] - of silica.

[0015] The composition according to the invention is preferably cosmetic. Preferably, the composition according to the invention is an oil-in-water (O / W) emulsion.

[0016] By “physiologically acceptable”, we mean a medium compatible with keratinous materials.

[0017] The present invention also relates to a cosmetic process for the care of keratinous materials, preferably the skin, comprising the application to said keratinous materials of a composition according to the invention.

[0018] The present invention also relates to the cosmetic use of a composition according to the invention, preferably to hydrate and / or to reduce the appearance and / or mitigate the signs of aging of keratinous materials, in particular of the skin.

[0019] Superabsorbent polymer selected from starches grafted by an acrylic polymer

[0020] The composition according to the present invention comprises at least one superabsorbent polymer selected from starches grafted by an acrylic polymer.

[0021] A "superabsorbent polymer" is defined as a polymer that, in its dry state, is capable of spontaneously absorbing at least 20 times its own weight of aqueous fluid, in particular water and especially distilled water. Such superabsorbent polymers are described in "Absorbent Polymer Technology, Studies in Polymer Science 8" by L. Bran Non-Pappas and R. Harland, Elsevier, 1990.

[0022] These polymers have a high capacity for absorbing and retaining water and aqueous fluids. After absorption of the aqueous liquid, the polymer particles thus soaked in aqueous fluid remain insoluble in the aqueous fluid and thus retain their individualized particulate state.

[0023] The superabsorbent polymer can have a water absorption capacity ranging from 20 to 2000 times its own weight (i.e., 20 g to 2000 g of water absorbed per gram of absorbent polymer), preferably from 30 to 1500 times, and better still from 50 to 1000 times. These characteristics Water absorption rates are defined under standard temperature (25 °C) and pressure (760 mm Hg or 100,000 Pa) conditions and for distilled water. The water absorption capacity of a polymer can be determined by dispersing 0.5 g of polymer(s) in 150 g of a water solution, waiting 20 minutes, filtering the unabsorbed solution through a 150 µm filter for 20 minutes, and weighing the unabsorbed water.

[0024] The superabsorbent polymer used in the composition of the invention is in the form of particles. Preferably, the superabsorbent polymer has, in the dry or unhydrated state, an average size less than or equal to 100 pm, preferably less than or equal to 50 pm, ranging for example from 1 to 100 pm, preferably from 5 to 50 pm and better from 7 to 30 pm.

[0025] The average particle size corresponds to the mass average diameter (D50) measured by laser granulometry or other equivalent method known to those skilled in the art. These particles, once hydrated, swell to form soft particles with an average size ranging from 10 pm to 1000 pm.

[0026] The superabsorbent polymers according to the invention are starches grafted with an acrylic polymer. The acrylic polymer may be a homopolymer or a copolymer, in particular sodium polyacrylate. Such polymers exhibit gelling properties and a feel similar to that conferred by a silicone compound ("silicone-like" feel).

[0027] According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the superabsorbent polymer(s) used comprise 85 to 95% by weight of sodium polyacrylate and 5 to 15% by weight of starch. Preferably, they consist of 90% by weight of sodium polyacrylate and 10% by weight of starch.

[0169] Example 2: Sensory evaluation of compositions Cl and C2* to C5*

[0170] Composition C1 according to the invention and comparative compositions C2* to C5* were evaluated by an expert panel of 20 people. Sensory aspects, such as stickiness, upon application of the compositions to the skin were assessed. The panel consisted of experts trained on various point-of-care products according to a standardized application procedure. The evaluation criteria are standardized and rated on a scale of 1 to 15 (from not to very). 0.05 ml of the formula is applied to one cheek in 10 rotations. Hands are washed with soap and water and then dried before evaluating various parameters, including stickiness and slipperiness, assessed 2 minutes after application.

[0171] The results obtained are summarized in the following table 2: Cl C4* C3* C5* C2* Difference in % of Cl vs. C4* C3* C5* C2* Thickness under the finger (grip) 10.14 10.4 9.63 9.88 9.79 -2.4% 5.3% 2.6% 3.6% Oily application arm 6.01 7.2 7.81 6.8 7.38 -16.5% -23.0% -11.6% -18.6% Gliding 1 turn 6.48 8.91 8.8 8.85 8.57 -27.3% -26.4% -26.8% -24.4% Gliding 15 turns 6.15 8.61 8.51 8.29 8.29 -28.6% -27.7% -25.8% -25.8% Gliding 25 turns 5.51 8.01 8.14 7.81 7.88 -31.2% -32.3% -29.4% -30.1% Oily fingers, facial application 3.36 4.53 4.59 4.71 4.83 -25.8% -26.8% -28.7% -30.4% Sticky skin after 2 min 1.12 1.77 2.84 3.25 3.85 -36.7% -60.6% -65.5% -70.9% Slippery skin after 2 min 9.84 7.84 6.99 6.35 6.46 25.5% 40.8% 55.0% 52.3% Film-forming after 2 min 1.17 1.96 2.52 2.59 2.86 -40.3% -53.6% -54.8% -59.1%

[0173] A difference of 10% is considered significant.

[0174] The results obtained demonstrate that the Cl composition according to the invention differs from the comparative compositions C2* to C5* in that it is perceived

[0175] - less greasy and less slippery to apply, and

[0176] - less sticky, less slippery and less film-forming after application

[0177] This demonstrates a synergistic effect of the combination of silica and the super polymer absorbent chosen from starches grafted by an acrylic polymer.

[0178] Example 3: Rheological evaluation of Cl and C2* to C5* compositions

[0179] The rheological studies below allow for the quantitative measurement of texture differences between the Cl composition according to the invention and the C2* to C5* compositions.

[0180] Each composition was evaluated as follows:

[0181] The measurements are carried out on a constraint rheometer, RS 600 from the company ThermoRhéo, equipped with a thermostatically controlled bath and a stainless steel spindle with cone / plane geometry, diameter 35 mm and angle 2°. The measurements are carried out at a temperature of 32°C.

[0182] The composition is then subjected to harmonic shear under a sinusoidally varying stress r(t) with an angular frequency co (co = 2nn), where n is the frequency of the applied shear. The sheared composition thus experiences a stress r(t) and responds with a deformation y(t).

[0183] The stress r(t) and the strain y(t) are defined respectively by the following relations:

[0184] r(t) = To cos(œ.t) y(t)= y0 cos(co.t - ô)

[0185] To being the maximum amplitude of the stress and y0 being the maximum amplitude of the strain. The elasticity ô is the phase angle between the stress and the strain.

[0186] The measurements are carried out at a frequency of 1 Hz (n = 1 Hz).

[0187] Increasing constraints are applied to the sample starting from a constraint initial equal to 0.01 Pa to reach a final stress of 1000 Pa, the stresses being applied only once.

[0188] The evolution of the elastic and viscous moduli G' and G” and of the elasticity ô is measured as a function of the applied stress t.

[0189] The parameters evaluated are as follows:

[0190] - The constraint (t) at the crossing point, which corresponds to the phase transition between a so-called solid state and a more liquid state, and

[0191] - The length of the plateau of the linear viscoelastic domain G' (linear domain where (rheological parameters are independent of the applied stress), which indicates the more or less long duration after which the material will modify its structure in response to the applied stress (we speak of LVR).

[0192] The results obtained are shown in the following table 3:

[0193] [Tables3] Cl C4* C3* C5* C2* % Difference from Cl vs. C4* C3* C5* C2* r stress in Pa at the intersection 194.2 199.1 156.5 172.5 172.7 -2.5% 24.1% 12.6% 12.4% End of linear viscoelastic domain, LVR (G1 in Pa) 646.5 756.2 756.2 685.5 630.5 -14.5% -14.5% -5.7% 2.5%

[0194] These results demonstrate once again the synergy provided by the combination of silica and the superabsorbent polymer chosen from among starches grafted with an acrylic polymer. Surprisingly, the stress at the phase transition is close to that of silica (with a difference of -2.5%), while the extent of the viscoelastic range is more in line with that of a filler-free formula or even one composed solely of superabsorbent polymer. Despite their "absorbent" physicochemical properties, the silica and the superabsorbent polymer combined in composition Cl according to the invention do not exhibit cumulative absorbing properties. Composition Cl according to the invention has a lower LVR than the comparative compositions C4* and C5*, which comprise only silica or superabsorbent polymer. The rheological properties of composition Cl according to the invention are therefore surprising and unexpected.
