Description

Title of the invention: POWDERY COMPOSITION WITH GOOD SEBUM ABSORPTION AND GOOD TEXTURE Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a powdery composition which is suitable for cosmetic treatments of keratin materials such as the skin. STATE OF THE ART

[0002] Skin makeup cosmetics can generally be used to impart an attractive color to the skin, especially of the face, but can also be used to mask skin imperfections, such as redness, marks and wrinkles.

[0003] Some makeup cosmetics may be in the form of a powdery cosmetic composition. A powdery cosmetic composition generally comprises a high powder content, for example, at least about 70% by weight of powders, based on the total weight of the composition. DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

[0004] Some conventional powdery cosmetic compositions do not provide sufficient long-lasting cosmetic effects on the skin. For example, if such a conventional powdery cosmetic composition is used over a long period of time, it might be difficult for the conventional powdery cosmetic composition to keep the skin matte and / or maintain the skin color unchanged, for a long period of time, due to the sebum including oil that is secreted over time on the skin. Considering their good usability, long-lasting cosmetic effects are desired for powdery cosmetic compositions. Thus, good sebum absorption capacity is required for long-lasting cosmetic effects of powdery cosmetic compositions.

[0005] In addition, a good texture is also required for powdery cosmetic compositions.

[0006] However, it was difficult for some conventional powdery cosmetic compositions to have both good sebum absorption capacity and good texture. In general, powdery cosmetic compositions having good sebum absorption capacity tend to have poor texture, while powdery cosmetic compositions having good texture tend to have poor sebum absorption capacity.

[0007] Thus, an objective of the present invention is to provide a composition powder that can have both good sebum absorption capacity and a good texture.

[0008] The above objective can be achieved by a composition, preferably a cosmetic composition and, more preferably, a cosmetic composition for making up keratin materials such as skin, comprising:

[0009] (a) at least one particle having

[0010] a wetting point for the oil of at least 150 ml / 100 g, and preferably at least 180 ml / 100 g;

[0011] and

[0012] (b) at least one charge other than the (a) particle,

[0013] in which

[0014] the total amount of the (a) particle(s) and the (b) filler(s) is greater than 80% by weight, preferably greater than 85% by weight and, even better, greater than 90% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition.

[0015] Particle (a) may have a wetting point for water of at least 200 ml / 100 g, preferably at least 250 ml / 100 g and, even better, at least 300 ml / 100 g.

[0016] The ratio of the wetting point for water to the wetting point for oil of the (a) particle may be less than or equal to 5, preferably less than or equal to 4 and, more preferably, less than or equal to 2.

[0017] The average size of the particle (a) may be 50 qm or less, preferably 30 qm or less, and more preferably 10 qm or less.

[0018] The (a) particle may be porous.

[0019] The (a) particle may comprise at least one polysaccharide, preferably cellulose.

[0020] The amount of the (a) particle(s) in the composition according to the present invention may be from 1% to 40% by weight, preferably from 5% to 35% by weight and, more preferably, from 10% to 30% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition.

[0021] The charge (b) may have been coated.

[0022] The (b) filler may be selected from the group consisting of micas, surface-treated micas, and mixtures thereof, preferably selected from the group consisting of muscovite, synthetic fluorophlogopite, surface-treated synthetic fluorophlogopite, and a mixture thereof and, more preferably, selected from the group consisting of muscovite, synthetic fluorophlogopite, methylhydrogenpolysiloxane-treated synthetic fluorophlogopite, and a mixture thereof.

[0023] The amount of the (b)filler(s) in the composition according to the present invention may be from 40% to 80% by weight, preferably from 45% to 75% by weight and, better still, from 50% to 70% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition.

[0024] Thus, the amount of silica powder in the composition according to the present invention may be less than 3% by weight, preferably less than 2% by weight and, more preferably, less than 1% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition.

[0025] Thus, the amount of a resin or plastic powder in the composition according to the present invention may be less than 3% by weight, preferably less than 2% by weight and, more preferably, less than 1% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition.

[0026] The composition according to the present invention may be in the form of a loose powder, or a compact or pressed powder, preferably in the form of a loose powder.

[0027] The present invention also relates to a cosmetic care process for keratin materials such as the skin, comprising:

[0028] the application to keratin fibers of the composition according to the present invention.

[0029] The present invention may also relate to a use of (a) a particle having:

[0030] a wetting point for the oil of at least 150 ml / 100 g and preferably at least 180 ml / 100 g

[0031] in a composition comprising (b) at least one filler other than the (a) particle, in which the total quantity of the (a) particle(s) and the (b) filler(s) is greater than 80% by weight, preferably greater than 85% by weight and, more preferably, greater than 90% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition,

[0032] to improve both the absorption of sebum and the texture of the composition. Best mode for carrying out the invention

[0033] After careful research, the inventors have discovered that it is possible to provide a powdery composition which can have both good sebum absorption capacity and good texture.

[0034] The composition according to the present invention is a composition, preferably a cosmetic composition and, better still, a cosmetic composition for making up keratin materials such as the skin, comprising:

[0035] (a) at least one particle having

[0036] a moisture point for the oil of at least 150 ml / 100 g, and preferably at least 180 ml / 100 g;

[0037] and

[0038] (b) at least one charge other than the (a) particle,

[0039] in which

[0040] the total amount of the (a) particle(s) and the (b) filler(s) is greater than 80% by weight, preferably greater than 85% by weight and, even better, greater than 90% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition.

[0041] Since the total amount of the (a) particle(s) and the (b) filler(s) is greater than 80% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition according to the present invention, the composition according to the present invention can be considered as a powdery composition.

[0042] The composition according to the present invention can provide both good oil / sebum absorption capacity and good texture. Therefore, the composition according to the present invention can provide both long-lasting cosmetic effects against sebum secreted over time on the skin and a comfortable feeling of use. Thus, the composition according to the present invention can provide good suitability for use:

[0043] If the (a) particle has a wetting point for water of at least 200 ml / 100 g, preferably at least 250 ml / 100 g, and more preferably at least 300 ml / 100 g, the composition according to the present invention can also have good water absorption capacity and, therefore, it can also provide good water resistance. Therefore, in this case, the composition according to the present invention can also provide long-lasting cosmetic effects against rain or sweat.

[0044] If the amount of a silica powder, in particular a porous silica powder, in the composition according to the present invention is less than 3% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, the risk of inhalation of the silica powder can be reduced or avoided.

[0045] If the amount of a resin or plastic powder, in particular a polyamide powder and a poly(meth)acrylate powder such as a Nylon® powder and a polymethyl methacrylate powder, in the composition according to the present invention is less than 3% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, contamination of the environment by the resin or plastic powder can be reduced or avoided.

[0046] Hereinafter, each of the present inventions will be described in detail.

[0047] [Composition]

[0048] The composition according to the present invention comprises:

[0049] (a) at least one particle having

[0050] a wetting point for the oil of at least 150 ml / 100 g, and preferably at least 180 ml / 100 g;

[0051] and

[0052] (b) at least one charge other than the (a) particle,

[0053] in which

[0054] the total amount of the (a) particle(s) and the (b) filler(s) is greater than 80% by weight, preferably greater than 85% by weight and, more preferably, greater at 90% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition.

[0055] (Particle)

[0056] The composition according to the present invention includes (a) at least one particle with specific properties. If two or more particles are used, they may be the same or different.

[0057] The (a) particles may take the form of a powder.

[0058] The (a) particle has a wetting point for oil of at least 150 ml / 100 g, and preferably at least 180 ml / 100 g, and / or preferably 1500 ml / 100 g or less.

[0059] The term "wetting point for oil" in the specification means an amount of oil required to make a target powder completely wet, which can be recognized, in particular, by the formation of a paste with the target powder.

[0060] The wetting point for the oil can be determined in accordance with ISO-787 / 5-1980, which corresponds to JIS K 5101-13-1, provided that isononyl isononanoate is used instead of linseed oil.

[0061] Specifically, the wetting point for oil can be determined by the following protocol. 1. 2 g of a target powder are kneaded using a spatula on a plate of glass while adding oil, especially linear ester oil, such as isononyl isononanoate (WICKENOL 151 / ALZO). 2. When the target powder becomes completely wet and begins to form a paste, the weight of the added oil is determined as the wetting point weight. 3. The wetting point for oil is calculated from the following equation: wetting point for oil (ml / 100 g) = {(wetting point weight) / 2 g]X100 / density of oil.

[0062] Since the (a) particle has a wetting point for oil of at least 150 ml / 100 g, the composition according to the present invention including the (a) particle can have good oil / sebum absorption capacity. Therefore, the composition according to the present invention can provide long-lasting cosmetic effects against sebum secreted over time on the skin.

[0063] Sebum contains oil. Thus, the higher the wetting point for oil, the better the sebum absorption capacity.

[0064] It is preferable that the (a) particle also has a wetting point for water of at least 200 ml / 100 g, preferably at least 250 ml / 100 g, more preferably at least 300 ml / 100 g, even more preferably at least 350 ml / 100 g and / or preferably 1500 ml / 100 g or less.

[0065] Similarly, the term "wetting point for water" in the specification means an amount of water required to render a target powder completely wet, which can be recognized, in particular, by the formation of a paste with the target powder.

[0066] The wetting point for oil can also be determined according to ISO-787 / 5-1980, which corresponds to JIS K 5101-13-1, provided that water is used instead of linseed oil.

[0067] In particular, the wetting point for water can be determined by the following protocol. 1. 2 g of a target powder are kneaded using a spatula on a plate of glass while adding water with a density of 0.998 g / ml. 2. When the target powder becomes completely wet and begins to form a paste, the weight of the added water is determined as the wetting point weight. 3. The wetting point for water is calculated from the following equation: Wetting point for water (ml / 100 g) = {(the weight of the wetting point) / 2 g]X100 / the density of water.

[0068] If the (a) particle has a wetting point for water of at least 200 ml / 100 g, the composition according to the present invention including the (a) particle can have good water absorption capacity. Therefore, the composition according to the present invention can provide long-lasting cosmetic effects against water, such as that in rain or sweat.

[0069] The higher the wetting point for water, the better the resistance to rain or sweat.

[0070] It is preferable that the ratio of the wetting point for water / wetting point for oil of the (a) cellulose particle used for the present invention is 5 or less, preferably 4 or less, more preferably 3 or less, and even more preferably 2 or less, and most preferably 0.1 or more.

[0071] The particle size of the (a) particle is not limited. However, it is preferable that the average particle size of the (a) particles is 50 pm or less, preferably 30 pm or less, more preferably 10 pm or less, even more preferably 2 to 5 pm.

[0072] The particle size of the (a) particle corresponds to a primary particle size. Furthermore, particle size herein refers to an average size or particle mean, which may be a volume average size, which may be determined, for example, by a laser diffraction particle size analyzer.

[0073] It is preferable that 90% or more of the (a) particles have an average (primary) particle size of 0.1 to 10 pm, preferably 0.5 to 8 pm, and more preferably 1 to 7 pm. If 90% or more of the (a) particles have an average (primary) particle size of 1 to 7 pm, optical effects due to the particles can also be obtained.

[0074] It is preferable that the longest diameter / shortest diameter ratio of the (a) particle is in the range of 1.0 to 10, preferably 1.0 to 5 and more preferably 1.0 to 3. It is preferable that the (a) particle is spherical, preferably with a longest diameter / shortest diameter ratio of 1.0 to 1.1.

[0075] The (a) cellulose particle may be porous or non-porous. However, it is preferable that the (a) particle is porous.

[0076] The porosity of the (a) particle may be characterized by a specific surface area of ​​0.05 m2 / g to 1,500 m2 / g, more preferably 0.1 m2 / g to 1,000 m2 / g, and even more preferably 0.2 m2 / g to 500 m2 / g according to the BET method.

[0077] The (a) particle may comprise any organic or inorganic material, which is not limited to, and may be selected from polysaccharides such as cellulose; boron compounds such as boron nitride; metal compounds such as alumina, barium sulfate and magnesium carbonate; perlites and mixtures thereof.

[0078] It is preferable that the (a) particle comprises at least one polysaccharide.

Cellulose and its derivatives are preferable. Cellulose is even more preferable.

[0080] It is preferable that the (a) particle comprises cellulose. It is preferable that the (a) particle is made of cellulose. In other words, it is preferable that the (a) particle is a cellulose particle. Thus, the (a) particle may not be a composite particle including cellulose and any other material.

[0081] In the present invention, the cellulose that can be used is not limited by cellulose types such as cellulose I, cellulose II or the like. As the cellulose that can be used as a material for the (a) particle for the present invention, type II cellulose is preferable.

[0082] The cellulose which can be used as a material for the (a) particle can be in any particle shape, in particular, a spherical particle.

[0083] The cellulose particle, preferably a spherical cellulose particle, can be prepared, for example, as follows. 1. A suspension of calcium carbonate, as an aggregation inhibitor, is added to an alkaline aqueous solution of water-soluble anionic polymer and then stirred. 2. The viscose and the aqueous solution obtained in the above (1) are mixed to form a dispersion of fine viscose particles. 3. The dispersion of fine viscose particles obtained in the above (2) is heated to aggregate the viscose in the dispersion, and neutralized with acid, to form fine cellulose particles. 4. The fine cellulose particles are separated from the mother liquid obtained in point 3 above and washed and dried, if necessary.

[0084] Viscose is a raw material of cellulose. It is preferable to use viscose with a gamma value of 30 to 100% by mass and an alkali concentration of 4 to 10% by mass. As the above water-soluble anionic polymer, polyacrylic acid sodium salt, polystyrene sulfonic acid sodium salt and the like can be mentioned. The above calcium carbonate is used to prevent the aggregation of fine viscose particles in the dispersion and to reduce the size of cellulose particles. As the calcium carbonate paste, Tama Pearl TP-221GS marketed by Okutama Kogyo Co., Ltd. in Japan can be mentioned.

[0085] According to one of the embodiments, a cellulose derivative may be chosen from cellulose esters and ethers.

[0086] It is indicated that the term "cellulose ester" designates, in the above text, a polymer consisting of a sequence a (1-4) of partially or totally esterified anhydroglucose rings, the esterification being obtained by reaction of all or part of the free hydroxyl functions of said anhydroglucose rings with a linear or branched carboxylic acid or a carboxylic acid derivative (acid chloride or acid anhydride) containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms.

[0087] Preferably, the cellulose ester results from the reaction of certain of the free hydroxyl functions of said rings with a carboxylic acid containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms.

[0088] Advantageously, the cellulose esters are chosen from cellulose acetates, propionates, butyrates, isobutyrates, acetobutyrates and acetopropionates and mixtures thereof.

[0089] These cellulose esters may have a weight average molecular weight ranging from 3,000 to 1,000,000, preferably from 10,000 to 500,000 and, more preferably, from 15,000 to 300,000.

The sizes are measured by static light scattering using a commercial Malvem Master Sizer 3000 particle size analyzer, which can determine the particle size distribution of all particles over a wide range that can extend from 0.01 qm to 1000 qm. The data are processed using standard Mie scattering theory. This theory is most suitable for size distributions from submicron to multimicron and allows the determination of an “effective” particle diameter.

[0265] [Evaluations]

[0266] (wetting point for oil)

[0267] The wetting point for the oil of each of the compositions according to Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-2 was determined by the following protocol.

[0268] (1) 2 g of the composition were kneaded with a spatula on a glass plate while by adding isononyl isononanoate having a viscosity of 9 cP at 25 °C and a density of 0.853 g / ml.

[0269] (2) When the composition was completely wet and began to form a paste, the weight of the added oil was determined as the wetting point weight.

[0270] (3) The wetting point for oil was calculated from the following equation: Wetting point for oil (ml / 100 g) = {(wetting point weight) / 2 g]X100 / density of oil.

[0271] The results are shown in Table 1.

[0272] The value of "Wetting Point for Oil" in Table 1 represents the sebum absorption capacity of the composition according to Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-2.
