Description

Title of the invention: Aqueous sorbet-type composition comprising a polymer derived from (alkyl)acrylic acid, a polysaccharide and a coloring agent, and a cosmetic process implementing it

[0001] The present invention relates to a preferably cosmetic composition comprising i) at least one polymer derived from (Ci-C6)alkyl acrylic acid and its salts, ii) at least one polysaccharide, iii) at least one colorant, and iv) water; the use of said composition in cosmetics; and a method for treating keratinous materials by applying said composition to said materials. Technical field

[0002] It is of great interest to provide texture to keratinous materials, particularly human materials such as skin, for cosmetic products. Furthermore, it is desirable to make available compositions with a pleasant texture, particularly of the gel / cream or even "sorbet" type, offering specific sensations, especially refreshing ones, upon application.

[0003] In addition to providing compositions with a pleasant gel / cream or even "sorbet" texture, it is desired that after application on keratinous materials, there will be excellent coverage and little or no color after application on said materials.

[0004] The idea is to find a composition, particularly a cosmetic one, which, after massage, allows the liquid to flow, through the transformation of a physical property, such as a gel / cream, into a liquid. Ideally, this transformation would occur during the application of the composition. It would then be desirable that, once applied to the materials, there be no sticky or drying sensation on the treated materials.

[0005] These technical problems have been solved by the composition according to the invention.

[0006] Thus, the object of the invention is a composition, in particular a cosmetic one, comprising:

[0007] i) at least one polymer derived from (Ci-C6)alkyl acrylic acid and its salts, comprising a repeating unit of formula (I):

[0008] [Chem.l]

[0009] formula (I) in which:

[0010] * R1 and R2, whether identical or different, represent a hydrogen atom or a (Ci-C6)alkyl group such as methyl, preferably R1 and R2 represent a hydrogen atom,

[0011] * M+ represents a cationic counterion, preferably an alkali metal, alkaline- earthy or ammonium, more preferably M+ represents an alkali metal such as sodium;

[0012] * y represents an integer greater than or equal to 2;

[0013] * z is zero, or represents a number greater than zero; preferably y > z;

[0014] ii) at least one linear or branched polysaccharide (or polyoside), preferably branched, more particularly comprising the combination of sugars selected from glucose, mannose, and glucuronic acid, associated or not with a (keto)(Ci-C6)alkyl carboxylic acid such as pyruvic acid or such as xanthan gum;

[0015] iii) at least one coloring material, in particular a dye and / or pigment, absorbing in the visible spectrum and / or at least one pigment, preferably black, such as charcoal black, Yellow 5, Red 33, Blue 1; and

[0016] iv) water.

[0017] The invention also relates to the use of the cosmetic composition, in particular in the care of keratinous materials, especially human ones such as skin.

[0018] Another object of the invention is a method for treating keratinous materials, in particular human such as skin, by applying to said materials the composition according to the invention.

[0019] The composition of the invention exhibits excellent rheology and a very pleasant feel. Once applied to keratinous materials, particularly human skin, the composition transforms into a gel with a sorbet-like appearance and a refreshing sensation. Furthermore, keratinous materials treated with the composition of the invention are not sticky, and the color disappears upon application or immediately after application to said keratinous materials, particularly skin.

[0286] The oleosorbable particle(s) ix) is / are capable of absorbing (and / or adsorbing) an oil (i.e., a liquid fat at room temperature (25°C) and atmospheric pressure) such as sebum (from the skin).

[0287] If several oil-absorbing particles are used, they may be identical or different.

[0288] It is preferable that the absorbent particle(s) the oil(s) ix) have an oil absorption capacity of 140 ml / 100 g or more, more preferably 250 ml / 100 g or more, even more preferably 400 ml / 100 g or more, even more preferably 600 ml / 100 g or more, even more preferably 800 ml / 100 g or more, and even more preferably 1000 ml / 100 g or more.

[0291] The quantity of oil(s) absorbed (and / or adsorbed) by the oil-absorbing particle(s) ix) can be characterized by measuring the wet point according to the method described below.

[0292] The oil absorption capacity measured at the "wet point", denoted Wp, corresponds to the quantity of oil(s) that must be added to 100 g of particle to obtain a homogeneous paste.

[0293] The quantity of oil(s) absorbed (and / or adsorbed) can be measured according to the method for determining the oil uptake of a powder described in ISO 787 / 5-1980. It corresponds to the quantity of oil absorbed / adsorbed on the available surface of the powder, by measuring the Wet Point.

[0294] A quantity m (in grams) of the oleo-absorbable particle ix) of between approximately 0.5 g and approximately 5 g (the quantity depends on the density of the particle A small amount (9 g) of oil-absorbable material (ix), but typically 2 g, is placed on a glass plate, and isononyl isononanoate (oil) is then added dropwise. After adding 4 to 5 drops of isononyl isononanoate, it is incorporated into the oil-absorbable material (ix) using a spatula, and the addition of isononyl isononanoate is continued until a conglomerate of isononyl isononanoate and powder has formed. At this point, more isononyl isononanoate is added dropwise, and then the mixture is triturated with the spatula. The addition of isononyl isononanoate is stopped when a firm, smooth paste is obtained. This paste should be able to be spread on the glass plate without cracking or forming lumps. We then note the volume Vs (expressed in ml) of isononyl isononanoate used.

[0295] The oil intake corresponds to the Vs / m ratio.

[0296] In the above protocol for determining the Wet Point, the chosen oil, isononyl isononanoate, can be replaced by oleic acid or linseed oil.

Unless otherwise specified, the particle sizes or average particle sizes defined in the present invention mean volume-average particle sizes.

[0298] The oil-absorbing particle(s) ix) may have an average volume particle size of 1 qm or more, preferably 2 qm or more, more preferably 3 qm or more, and even more preferably 4 qm or more.

[0299] The (primary) particle size of the oleoabsorbable particle(s) viii) may be from 1 to 30 µm, preferably from 2 to less than 25 µm, more preferably from 3 to less than 20 µm, and even more preferably from 4 to less than 15 µm. The (primary) particle size may be measured, for example, by extracting and measuring from a photographic image obtained by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the like, using a particle size analyzer such as a laser diffraction particle size analyzer, and the like.

[0300] It is preferable to use a particle size analyzer such as a laser diffraction particle size analyzer. In this case, the (primary) particle size distribution is the (primary) volume-average particle size distribution.

Salts of these compounds include, in particular, salts of oxidation metals I, II, or III, such as aluminum, magnesium, calcium, zirconium, zinc, sodium, or potassium salts.

[0309] The amino acid may be, for example, lysine, glutamic acid or alanine.

[0310] The term “alkyl” mentioned in the compounds cited above refers in particular to an alkyl group, linear or branched, containing from 1 to 30 carbon atoms and preferably containing from 5 to 16 carbon atoms.

[0311] It is preferable that the inorganic oleosorbable particle(s) comprise(s) at least one material selected from silica, in particular hydrophobic silica such as silica silylate, silicate, pearlite, boron nitride, alkali or alkaline earth metal carbonates such as magnesium carbonate, alkali or alkaline earth metal hydroxides such as magnesium hydroxide, kaolin, talc, and mixtures thereof.

[0312] Hydrophobic silica, in particular silica silylate, is in particular made from silica aerogels, i.e. porous materials, obtained by replacing (in particular by drying or other means of solvent evaporation, in particular water) the liquid component of a silica gel with air. They are generally synthesized by a process Sol-gels are heated in a liquid medium and then dried, most often by extraction with a supercritical fluid, the most commonly used being supercritical CO2. This type of drying prevents shrinkage of the pores and the material. The sol-gel process and the various drying operations are well known to those skilled in the art. For example, the method described in detail in the book by Brinker CJ and Scherer GW, *Sol-Gel Science*, New York, Academy Press, (1990).

[0313] The hydrophobic silica aerogel particle(s) may have a specific surface area per unit weight (SW) ranging from 500 to 1500 m² / g, preferably from 600 to 1200 m² / g, and more preferably from 600 to 800 m² / g, and / or a size, expressed as volume-average diameter (D[0.5]), ranging from 1 to 1500 µm, preferably from 1 to 1000 µm, more preferably from 1 to 100 µm, particularly from 1 to 30 µm, even more preferably from 5 to 25 µm, even more preferably from 5 to 20 µm, and even more preferably from 5 to 15 µm

[0315] The specific surface area per unit weight can be determined by the nitrogen absorption method, known as the BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) method, described in the scientific publication J. Amer. Chem. Soc., Vol. 60, p. 309 (1938), which corresponds to the international standard ISO 5794 / 1 (Annex D). The BET specific surface area corresponds to the total specific surface area of ​​the particles considered.

[0316] The size(s) of the silica aerogel particle(s) can be measured by static light scattering using a particle size analyzer, for example, a commercial particle size analyzer such as the Malvem MasterSizer 2000. The data are processed based on Mie scattering theory. This theory, accurate for isotropic particles, allows the determination, in the case of non-spherical particles, of an "effective" particle diameter. This theory is notably described in the scientific work by Van de Hulst, H.C., "Light Scattering by Small P Articles", Chapters 9 and 10, Wiley, New York (1957).

It should be noted that "sugar" means oxygenated hydrocarbon compounds possessing several alcohol groups, with or without aldehyde or ketone groups, and comprising at least four carbon atoms. These sugars may be monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, or polysaccharides.

[0442] Suitable sugars may be cited for example sucrose (or saccharose), glucose, galactose, ribose, fucose, maltose, fructose, mannose, arabinose, xylose, lactose, and their derivatives in particular alkylated, such as methylated derivatives like methylglucose.

This includes, for example, decamethyltetrasiloxane, marketed notably under the name "SH 200" by TORAY SILICONE. Silicones falling into this class are also described in the article published in Cosmetics and Toiletries, Vol. 91, Jan. 1976, pp. 27–32 – TODD & BYERS, "Volatile Silicone Fluids for Cosmetics." The viscosity of silicones is measured at 25 °C according to ASTM 445 Appendix C.

[0464] Non-volatile polydialkylsiloxanes can also be used.

[0465] These non-volatile silicones are more particularly chosen from among the polydialkylsiloxanes among which we can mainly mention the polydimethylsiloxanes with terminal trimethylsilyl groups.

[0509] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the weight content of the butter(s) according to the invention, in fatty acids Ci6 of the triglycerides, expressed in relation to the total fatty acids of the triglycerides, is less than 23%.

[0510] For the purposes of this invention, "butter" (also referred to as "pasty fat") means a lipophilic fatty compound with a reversible solid / liquid phase change, comprising a liquid fraction and a solid fraction at a temperature of 25 °C and atmospheric pressure (760 mm Hg). In other words, the initial melting temperature of the pasty compound may be lower than 25 °C. The liquid fraction of the pasty compound measured at 25 °C may represent 9 to 97% by weight of the compound. This liquid fraction at 25 °C preferably represents between 15 and 85%, and more preferably between 40 and 85% by weight.

[0511] Preferably, the butter(s) have a final melting temperature of less than 60 °C.

[0512] Preferably, the butter(s) shall have a hardness of less than or equal to 6 MPa.

[0513] Preferably, pasty fats have an organization in the solid state anisotropic crystalline, visible by X-ray observations.

[0514] For the purposes of the invention, the melting temperature corresponds to the temperature of the most endothermic peak observed in thermal analysis (DSC) as described in ISO 11357-3; 1999. The melting point of a paste or wax can be measured using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), for example the calorimeter sold under the name "DSC Q2000" by TA Instruments.

[0515] Regarding the measurement of the melting temperature and the determination of the final melting temperature, the sample preparation and measurement protocols are as follows:

[0516] A 5 mg sample of pasty fat, previously heated to 80°C and taken under magnetic stirring with a heated spatula, is placed in a hermetically sealed aluminum container, or crucible. Two tests are carried out to ensure the reproducibility of the results.

[0517] The measurements are carried out on the calorimeter mentioned above. The furnace is subjected to nitrogen purging. Cooling is provided by the RCS 90 heat exchanger. The sample is then subjected to the following protocol: first, it is heated to 20 °C, then subjected to a first heating from 20 °C to 80 °C at a rate of 5 °C / minute, then cooled from 80 °C to -80 °C at a rate of 5 °C / minute, and finally subjected to a second heating from -80 °C to 80 °C at a rate of 5 °C / minute. During the second heating, the variation in the difference in power absorbed by the empty crucible and by the crucible containing the butter sample is measured as a function of temperature.The melting point of the compound is the temperature value corresponding to the peak of the curve representing the variation of the difference in absorbed power as a function of temperature.

[0518] The final melting temperature corresponds to the temperature at which 95% of the sample has melted.

[0519] The liquid fraction by weight of the butter at 25 °C is equal to the ratio of the enthalpy of fusion consumed at 25 °C to the enthalpy of fusion of the butter.

[0520] The enthalpy of fusion of the paste-like compound is the enthalpy consumed by the compound to change from a solid to a liquid state. Butter is said to be in a solid state when all of its mass is in crystalline solid form. Butter is said to be in a liquid state when all of its mass is in liquid form.

[0521] The enthalpy of fusion of butter is equal to the integral of the entire melting curve obtained using the aforementioned calorimeter, with a temperature increase of 5 or 10 °C per minute, according to ISO 11357-3:1999. The enthalpy of fusion of butter is the amount of energy required to change the compound from a solid to a liquid state. It is expressed in J / g.

[0522] The enthalpy of fusion consumed at 25 °C is the amount of energy absorbed by the sample to pass from the solid state to the state it presents at 25 °C consisting of a liquid fraction and a solid fraction.

[0523] The liquid fraction of the butter measured at 32 °C preferably represents 30 to 100% by weight of the compound, preferably 50 to 100%, and preferably 60 to 100% by weight of the compound. When the liquid fraction of the butter measured at 32°C is equal to 100%, the temperature at the end of the melting range of the pasty compound is less than or equal to 32°C.

[0524] The liquid fraction of butter measured at 32 °C is equal to the ratio of the enthalpy of fusion consumed at 32 °C to the enthalpy of fusion of the pasty compound. The enthalpy of fusion consumed at 32 °C is calculated in the same way as the enthalpy of fusion consumed at 23 °C.

[0525] Regarding hardness measurement, the sample preparation and measurement protocols are as follows:

[0526] The composition according to the invention, or butter, is placed in a 75 mm diameter mold which is filled to approximately 75% of its height. In order to eliminate the thermal precipitate and control crystallization, the mold is placed in the Vôtsch VC0018 programmable oven where it is first heated to 80°C for 60 minutes, then cooled from 80°C to 0°C at a cooling rate of 5°C / minute, then left at the stabilized temperature of 0°C for 60 minutes, then subjected to a temperature increase from 0°C to 20°C at a heating rate of 5°C / minute, then left at the stabilized temperature of 20°C for 180 minutes.

[0527] The compression force measurement is performed using the Swantech TA / TX2i texture analyzer. The mobile device used is chosen according to the texture:

[0528] - 2 mm diameter cylindrical steel mobile for very raw materials rigid;

[0529] - 12 mm diameter cylindrical steel mobile for low-grade raw materials rigid;

[0530] The measurement involves 3 steps:

[0531] - a first step after automatic detection of the sample surface where the mobile moves at a measurement speed of 0.1 mm / s, and penetrates the composition according to the invention or the butter to a penetration depth of 0.3 mm, the software notes the value of the maximum force reached;

[0532] - a second stage called relaxation where the mobile remains in this position for a second, and where we note the strength after 1 second of relaxation; finally

[0533] - a 3rd stage called withdrawal where the mobile returns to its initial position at the speed of 1 mm / s and we note the energy of retraction of the probe (negative force).

[0534] The hardness value measured in the first step corresponds to the maximum compressive force measured in Newtons divided by the surface area of ​​the texture tester cylinder, expressed in mm², in contact with the butter or the composition according to the invention. The hardness value obtained is expressed in megapascals or MPa.
