Description

Title of the invention: Cosmetic composition in powder form for solid cosmetic product Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of cosmetics, more particularly the invention relates to a cosmetic composition in powder form, consisting of natural ingredients intended to prepare a solid cosmetic product for direct use or to be resolubilized in water, before cutaneous application. State of the art

[0002] The present invention is part of a socio-economic context in which the consumer seeks to modify his consumption, more particularly his impact in order to preserve his health and the environment. To achieve this, the consumer is looking for minimalist and natural products. In this respect, he is becoming more and more involved in the choice of his cosmetic products.

[0003] The cosmetics industry is a very resource-intensive industry, whether to produce the cosmetic product or its packaging. Packaging is a fundamental element in the field of cosmetics in order to protect the cosmetic product as well as to differentiate itself, to distinguish itself from competing products. Also, the quantity of packaging can be very important compared to the marketed product. Indeed, when a cosmetic is put on the shelves, it comes out of a pallet of cardboard boxes, themselves wrapped with plastic films. Once on the shelves, the consumer will choose their cosmetic product, mostly placed in a cardboard box, called secondary packaging, which will be recycled to keep only the final product which itself consists of primary packaging, very often from the petrochemical industry, particularly plastic.

[0004] On the other hand, the majority of cosmetic products very often contain a high proportion of water, such as products in the form of emulsion. In addition, the many raw materials constituting cosmetic products require a long chemical process to be obtained which, once again, consumes a lot of energy.

[0005] The cosmetics industry, becoming aware of its problems, has implemented new measures to make the use of beauty products more virtuous for our environment, the strong transition towards solid products is an example.

[0006] Indeed, dry formulas are a way to save water in formulas and often the preservatives that accompany them. Moreover, these are mostly synthetic and often allergenic.

[0007] Several types of dry formulas are known, for example, products to be re- constitute and powder products for direct use.

[0008] In particular, cosmetic products in powder form have many advantages in formulation but also in reducing packaging. Indeed, consumers can more easily refill their bottle or other container with a sachet of powder. In addition, the use of recyclable packaging such as paper or cardboard has a lower impact on the environment than materials from the petrochemical industry.

[0009] Although there are many solid cosmetic products, these are often devoid of the qualities associated with cosmetic products in liquid, emulsion, gel, cream, etc. form, namely sensorially pleasant, stable, responsible formulations that can be used by the consumer in an ergonomic manner. Indeed, known solid products to be reconstituted or for direct use do not make it possible to obtain a fluid, liquid, creamy, pasty cosmetic product and therefore presenting ease of spreading on the face, a certain comfort, softness and leaving a moisturizing or nourishing film on the surface of the skin sought by consumers looking for an alternative to conventional products in the form of lotion, cream, etc. This is the objective of the present invention. Summary of the invention

[0010] Thus, there is a need for a new cosmetic composition in powder form consisting of natural ingredients, intended to prepare a solid cosmetic product for direct use or to be resolubilized in water, before its cutaneous application, and having sensorially pleasant and stable properties, similar to those known for products in the form of gel, cream, lotion, etc.

[0011] To meet this need, the invention proposes a cosmetic composition in powder form consisting of natural ingredients, said composition comprising: • a mixture consisting of at least one sugar and maltodextrin, • a bulking agent, and • a gelling agent, characterized in that the sugar / maltodextrin ratio of the mixture is between 3:1 and 1:1.

[0012] Thus, unlike known cosmetic products in solid form, the present composition does not comprise ingredients chosen from silicones, acrylates, synthetic molecules, and their mixture. The present cosmetic composition is therefore exclusively made up of ingredients of natural origin, without synthetic ingredients or ingredients from the petrochemical industry.

[0013] Preferably, the present composition more particularly comprises a mixture consisting of at least one sugar and maltodextrin making it possible to provide the desired sensoriality for a cosmetic product, more preferably, the mixture represents between 60 and 90% by weight of the total weight of the composition. Particularly preferably, the mixture represents 80% by weight of the total weight of the composition.

[0014] In order to optimize the expected sensory properties of such a cosmetic product, the sugar of the mixture has(have) a solubility in water of less than 1000g / L. According to a variant, the mixture may comprise several sugars; for this purpose, the sugars of the mixture have an average solubility in water of less than 1000g / L. More preferably, the solubility in water is between 100g / L and 1000g / L, even more preferably between 400g / L and 800g / L.

[0015] According to another particularly preferred object of the invention, the mixture of the present composition according to the invention has a sugar / maltodextrin ratio of between 70 / 30 and 60 / 20 making it possible to limit the sticky effect associated with the presence of maltodextrin in too large a quantity.

[0016] According to another object, the sugar is preferentially chosen from xylitol, trehalose, erythritol, sorbitol, glucose, and their mixture. Such sugars are of particular interest for limiting the sticky effect specific to the use of sugars in cosmetic compositions, in combination with maltodextrin, and therefore not suitable for cosmetic care, for example of the skin. More preferentially, the sugar of the mixture is xylitol.

[0017] According to another object, in combination with sugar, the filler can participate in improving the sensory properties, in particular limiting the sticky effect. Also, advantageously, the filler is chosen from microcrystalline cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose and cellulose gum, silica, rice starch (Oryza saliva), and their mixture.

[0018] More preferably, the filler represents at least 8% by weight of the total weight of the composition, even more preferably it represents at least 10% by weight of the total weight of the composition.

[0019] In addition, the present composition also comprises at least one gelling agent, which, upon contact with water, makes it possible to make the resolubilized composition sufficiently gelled to have a satisfactory texture and hold. In this context, the present composition preferably comprises a gelling agent which is chosen from cellulose and cellulose gum, amylopectin, tapioca starch, tricaprylin (and) acacia Senegal gum, and their mixture.

[0020] Preferably, said gelling agent or, according to a variant, the mixture of gelling agents represents at most 15% by weight of the total weight of the composition, more preferably between 2 and 15% by weight of the total weight of the composition.

[0021] According to another preferred object, the composition comprises at least one additional ingredient chosen from salts, minerals, clay, pigments, nacres, oil, perfume, a cosmetic active ingredient. When the composition includes oil, this represents at most 10%, advantageously at most 3% by weight of the total weight of the composition.

[0022] The present cosmetic composition which is the subject of the invention can be presented in several dry forms, preferably in the form of loose powder. More preferably, said composition in the form of loose powder is, according to the knowledge of a person skilled in the art, a composition for preparing a solid cosmetic product.

[0023] For this purpose, the powder preferably has a particle size of at most 80 μm, more preferably at most 60 μm, even more preferably at most 40 μm.

[0024] Thus, according to another aspect, the invention also aims at the use of a cosmetic composition according to any of the objects previously described for preparing a solid cosmetic product.

[0025] Preferably, the invention relates to the use of said cosmetic composition for preparing a solid cosmetic product to be reconstituted or resolubilized in water or for direct use.

[0026] According to another object, said composition can be used as facial care, a serum, a tonic lotion, a makeup remover, a micellar water, a mist, a jelly, an exfoliant, a washing gel, a cream, a mask, but also hygiene products such as foaming products or even makeup in pigmented versions, for example a moisturizing treatment.

[0027] Other characteristics and advantages will emerge from the detailed description of the invention and the examples which follow. Detailed description of the invention

[0028] By "sensory" or "sensoriality" within the meaning of the invention, we mean cosmetic criteria such as the appearance of the mixture, its ease of being put into solution, the spreading of the product, the drying speed, the sticky finish, the presence or absence of white deposits, the presence / absence of fluff, the finish such as soft or rough.

[0029] By "direct use" within the meaning of the invention, is meant the cutaneous application of the solid cosmetic product, itself directly obtained by compression, extrusion or other processes known to those skilled in the art of a cosmetic composition in powder form, in particular of the composition according to the present invention.

[0030] By "being resolubilized in water" within the meaning of the invention, we mean the indirect cutaneous application of the solid cosmetic product, the latter being solubilized, for example in the palm of the hand, with a small quantity of water just before cutaneous application of this solution in a ratio of between 1 / 1 and 1 / 4, thus facilitating the direct cutaneous use of the resolubilized product. Conversely, for example of a dissolved solid product in its entirety in an aqueous solution to form a new long-life solution, for example a lotion, a cream. In this configuration, the product will need preservatives to ensure long-term antimicrobial protection, etc.

[0031] The present invention therefore relates to a cosmetic composition in powder form consisting of natural ingredients, said ingredients being cosmetically acceptable, said composition comprising: • a mixture consisting of at least one sugar and maltodextrin, • a bulking agent, and • a gelling agent, characterized in that the sugar / maltodextrin ratio of the mixture is between 3:1 and 1:1.

[0032] Preferably, the cosmetic composition comprises a mixture consisting of a sugar and maltodextrin, said sugar is not maltodextrin.

[0033] According to a preferred object of the invention, said mixture represents between 60 and 90% by weight of the total weight of the composition, more preferably 80% by weight of the total weight of the composition.

[0034] According to a variant of the invention, the mixture may consist of maltodextrin and several sugars, more particularly a mixture of two sugars, three sugars, or four sugars. When the mixture consists of several sugars, these are not maltodextrin. Thus, the mixture preferably consists of two sugars and maltodextrin, three sugars and maltodextrin, four sugars and maltodextrin.

[0035] Also, the mixture consists of a sugar and maltodextrin or several sugars and maltodextrin. Preferably, the sugar(s) of the mixture have(s) a solubility in water of less than 1000g / L. When the mixture comprises several sugars, the sugars advantageously have an average solubility in water of less than 1000g / L. Such solubility makes it possible to obtain a cosmetic composition having the sensory properties expected of such a product, namely, easy to spread and having a non-sticky finish and leaving a soft finish on the skin.

[0036] This effect is further improved when the cosmetic composition comprises a mixture, in which the sugar of the mixture has a solubility in water of between 100g / L and 1000g / L, more preferably between 400g / L and 800g / L.

[0037] Preferably, the sugar of the mixture is chosen from xylitol, trehalose, erythritol, sorbitol, glucose, and their mixture. More preferably, the sugar of the mixture is xylitol, which has the least white deposits on the skin during application and therefore has the sensory properties closest to those expected of a similar cosmetic product in the form of a gel / lotion, etc.

[0038] The cosmetic composition according to the invention also comprises at least one bulking agent, which, combined with the sugar / maltodextrin mixture, makes it possible to improve the cohesion of the different ingredients and the sensoriality of the mixture.

[0039] For this purpose, the cosmetic composition according to the invention preferably comprises a filler chosen from microcrystalline cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose and cellulose gum, silica, rice starch, and their mixture.

[0040] According to a preferred object, said filler represents at least 8% by weight of the total weight of the composition, more preferably said filler represents at least 10% by weight of the total weight of the composition, reducing the undesirable sticky effect provided by the sugars.

[0041] Also, combined with the other ingredients of the cosmetic composition according to the invention in powder form, said composition has the following properties, easy to solubilize or disperse in water, easy to spread on the skin, soft, with a dry, slightly sticky and transparent finish.

[0042] On the other hand, in order to provide a certain texture to the cosmetic composition according to the invention, the latter comprises at least one gelling agent. In addition, this provides a certain comfort to the product and must be soluble and easy to disperse. There are few natural gelling agents, with immediate solubilization, cosmetically acceptable in dry form, in particular in powder form.

[0043] Thus, preferably, the gelling agent is chosen from cellulose and cellulose gum, amylopectin, tapioca starch, tricaprylin (and) Acacia Senegal gum, and their mixture. These, when combined with the other ingredients of the present composition according to the invention, have very good spreading, soft and creamy, slightly sticky without excess and generating no fluff when applied to the skin. In addition, its finish is dry.

[0044] Preferably, the gelling agent represents at most 15% by weight of the total weight of the composition, more preferably at most 10% by weight of the total weight of the composition.

[0045] According to another object of the invention, the sugar / maltodextrin ratio of the mixture is between 3:1 and 1:1, making it possible to improve the strength and cohesion of the different ingredients of the composition. Preferably, this effect is further improved when the sugar / maltodextrin ratio of the mixture is between 70 / 30 and 60 / 20.

[0046] The present composition may also comprise an oil, preferably of plant origin, non-GMO, inert and non-polar, more preferably the oil is a liquid alkane. This ensures the absence of white deposit after the product has dried on the skin and reduces the presence of lumps when the solid product is resolubilized before its cutaneous application.

[0047] According to another object of the invention, the present cosmetic composition according to one of any of the preceding objects, is in powder form, very preferably in loose powder form. However, according to a variant, a product consisting of the composition according to the invention may be in solid form prepared from the composition according to the invention in powder form, according to the general knowledge of a person skilled in the art. For example, the composition in loose powder form may be compacted or extruded to obtain a product in solid form.

[0048] In order to improve the quality of such a solid composition, the composition according to the invention in the form of a loose powder very advantageously has a particle size of at most 80 μm, more preferably at most 60 μm, even more preferably at most 40 μm. However, the reduction in particle size leads to an increase in the solubility, in particular of the sugars present in the composition according to the invention. However, such particle sizes in combination with the ingredients, in particular the sugars of the composition according to the invention, surprisingly allow good solubilization of the powder and a satisfactory sticky appearance for skin care, in particular facial care.

[0049] According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the composition according to the invention comprises a mixture consisting of xylitol and maltodextrin in a 3 / 1 ratio, microcrystalline cellulose or rice starch, and cellulose and cellulose gum.

[0050] This composition is of particular interest for the following reasons: • Xylitol spreads well on the skin. Its solubility increases as its particle size decreases. • Maltodextrin is of real interest, particularly in providing consistency and solidity to the composition when it is prepared in solid form, as well as in reducing the presence of white deposits on the skin. In addition, a percentage of 20% in the mixture helps to contain its sticky effect. • A 10% bulking agent is sufficient to reduce the sticky effect provided in particular by maltodextrin, in particular, rice starch. • A quantity of gelling agent (cellulose (and) cellulose gum) of 2% is sufficient to obtain a fluid and homogeneous pasty mixture.

[0051] Thus, said composition according to the invention can be reconstituted with water, instantly, at room temperature and makes it possible to obtain a sensorially appreciable galenic and meet the needs of consumers for immediate use. Indeed, the product is not intended to be dissolved to form, for example, a lotion, a gel or a cream intended to be stored for subsequent uses.

[0052] According to another subject of the invention, the cosmetic composition may advantageously comprise other cosmetically acceptable ingredients, in particular at least one additional ingredient chosen from salts, minerals, clay, pigments, mother-of-pearl, oil, perfume, a cosmetic active ingredient.

[0053] Furthermore, since the composition is made up exclusively of so-called synthetic ingredients or ingredients from the petrochemical industry, it does not include ingredients chosen from silicones, acrylates, synthetic polymers, molecules of synthetic or petrochemical origin, and their mixture. The mixture also does not contain any ingredient classified as nano according to cosmetic regulations.

[0054] According to another preferred object, the composition according to the invention is in dry form, in particular it can be in powder form, compacted or not. Preferably, it is in the form of a loose powder, facilitating and limiting its subsequent packaging. Very preferably, said cosmetic composition according to the invention is a composition to be solubilized in a ratio of between 1 / 1 and 1 / 4 water just before its cutaneous application (for example for use on demand), in particular in facial care. The present composition in powder form is not intended to be dissolved in an aqueous solution to form a new long-life solution, for example a lotion, a cream, a gel, etc. Conversely, it aims to be resolubilized just before cutaneous application by a small quantity of water, thus facilitating its direct cutaneous use.

[0055] According to another aspect of the invention, the present composition according to the invention is a composition for preparing a solid cosmetic product, the latter being constituted by the composition according to the invention.

[0056] Also, the invention also relates to the use of the cosmetic composition according to any one of the objects of the invention for preparing a solid cosmetic product. Preferably, for preparing a solid cosmetic product to be reconstituted in water or for direct use, more preferably to be reconstituted in water. By way of example, said solid cosmetic product prepared from the composition according to the invention in powder form is a facial treatment.

[0057] The invention is now illustrated by non-limiting examples of compositions according to the invention and by results. Examples

[0058] Example 1 - Composition according to the invention

[0059] A first example of a cosmetic composition according to the invention is the following, namely a composition comprising the following ingredients. The mixture is prepared according to the knowledge of a person skilled in the art, namely a mixture of the different ingredients in powder form, optionally ground beforehand to obtain the gra- Nucleometry of interest within the meaning of the present invention.

[0064] Example 3 - Sensory properties of the sugar / maltodextrin mixture

[0065] This test presents the results concerning the sensoriality of the sugar / maltodextrin mixture present in the composition according to the invention. For this purpose, the mixture in powder form is reconstituted in water in a quantity (in grams) equivalent to that of the mixture. The mixtures are presented in Table 3 below, and the results are presented in Table 4 below, on a scale of 1 to 10.

[0068] Thus, the results demonstrate that a maltodextrin and xylitol mixture is of particular interest, with good solubilization, good spreading, low stickiness and sensation of softness sought by consumers, without white deposits. Note that trehalose and erythritol are also of interest.

[0069] Example 4 - Sensory properties of the mixture and the filler

[0070] This test presents the results concerning the sensoriality of the xylitol / maltodextrin mixture present in the composition according to the invention with a filler. For this purpose, the mixture in powder form is reconstituted in water in a quantity (in grams) equivalent to that of the mixture. The maltodextrin and xylitol ratio is 60 / 40 and represents 80% by weight of the total weight of the composition. The filler represents 20% by weight of the total weight of the composition. The mixtures are presented in Table 5 below, and the results are presented in Table 8 below, on a scale of 1 to 10.

[0072] Also, the ingredients described in the table are classified according to their properties (those which dissolve best, spread well, stick least, do not fluff, do not leave a white finish and leave the skin soft) allowing a classification to be established. Ingredients classified 1 and 2 are considered satisfactory for preparing a cosmetic composition according to the invention.

[0073] Example 5 - Sensory properties of the mixture, the filler and the agent gelling agent

[0074] This test presents the results concerning the sensoriality of the xylitol / maltodextrin mixture present in the composition according to the invention with a filler and a gelling agent. The results are presented in Table 6 below, on a scale of 1 to 10. The mixture in powder form is reconstituted in water in a quantity (in grams) equivalent to that of the mixture. The maltodextrin and xylitol ratio is 60 / 40 and represents 80% by weight of the total weight of the composition. The filler represents 15% by weight of the total weight of the composition and the gelling agent 5%.

[0075] [Tableauxô] INCI Solubilization / Appearance Spreading Stickiness Fluffiness Roughness / Softness Remarks Cellulose (and) Cellulose Gum Good / Off-white color 10 (soft, body) 3-2 0 Dry Creamy feel.

[0076] The mixture of cellulose gum and cellulose allows rapid thickening of the solution after solubilization in water. This is true even at a low percentage, with manual stirring in the palm of the hand and with water at room temperature, which is surprising for gelling agents. On the other hand, it gives a sticky effect, like amylopectin and tapioca starch. These gelling agents are satisfactory for integration into the cosmetic composition. Finally, the preferred gelling agent is the mixture of tricaprylin and acacia Senegal gum. 15
