Description

Title of the invention: Cosmetic composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion combining an anionic surfactant system with a mixture of specific hydrocarbon oils Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of compositions, in particular cosmetic compositions, in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion and more particularly dedicated to skin care.

[0002] It also relates to a cosmetic process for caring for keratin materials, in particular the skin, comprising the topical application to these keratin materials of a composition according to the invention. Prior art

[0003] The skin is a protective barrier and exchange with the environment, which is both strong and fragile and which can, for various reasons, lose its flexibility and its capacity to retain water, causing dryness of the skin.

[0004] It is known that the Stratum Comeum, or horny layer, which is the most superficial area of ​​the epidermis, is particularly involved in skin hydration. Located at the interface with the external environment, its function is to delay excessive water loss from the deeper layers of the epidermis. The Stratum Comeum also protects against mechanical aggression. It also constitutes the first defense against UV radiation.

[0005] For obvious reasons, it is important to ensure a sufficient level of hydration to the skin to preserve its suppleness, softness, tone and / or appearance, and to avoid skin dryness.

[0006] It may also be necessary to maintain this level of hydration over time, and in particular when environmental conditions of temperature and / or humidity are changing (changes during the day cold / hot - hot / cold for example).

[0007] Generally speaking, a decrease in this level of hydration can be prevented or treated by acting at the level of the Stratum Corneum via known hydrating active ingredients such as, for example, glycerol, or via products whose galenic form makes it possible to slow down transepidermal water loss (TEWL) such as inverse emulsions containing mineral oils and derivatives (E / O), or via the deposition of a continuous fatty phase sufficiently occlusive to maintain the hydration level of the Stratum Corneum. However, some of these active ingredients can make the formulas sticky, especially when used at high concentrations. As for the ga Inverse emulsion type lenics (E / O), they can have an occlusive nature giving a greasy and sticky finish.

[0008] Furthermore, the formulation of environmentally friendly cosmetic products, i.e. those whose design and development take environmental issues into account, is becoming a major concern to help meet global challenges.

[0009] It is therefore essential to propose more sustainable compositions and / or preparation processes and / or ingredients, thus making it possible to respond to these environmental challenges.

[0010] In this context, it is important to develop new cosmetic compositions with a better carbon footprint, in particular by promoting the use of renewable raw materials and / or with a good index of naturalness and / or of natural origin and more particularly of plant origin while reducing the use of compounds of petrochemical origin.

[0011] In view of the above, there therefore remains a need for new compositions, in particular cosmetic compositions, in particular for the care and / or treatment of keratin materials, which have properties, in particular sensory properties, sought by the consumer, i.e. absorption at an optimal speed by the keratin material during application of the composition, a feeling of comfort during and after application, a slippery and non-sticky deposit, a creamy texture and an emollient and light skin finish, while having good microscopic robustness.

[0012] It is also advantageous that such compositions use, for the most part, renewable raw materials and / or with a good index of naturalness and / or of natural origin.

[0013] The present invention aims precisely to meet these expectations. Summary of the invention

[0014] Thus, according to a first aspect, the present invention therefore relates to a composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion, in particular cosmetic, in particular for the care of keratin materials, comprising: (a) at least one non-ionic surfactant of ester type comprising a mixture of at least one unsaturated ester and at least one polyglycerol diester; (b) at least one non-ionic surfactant of fatty alcohol type comprising at least one linear and saturated carbon chain containing from 14 to 26 carbon atoms; (c) at least one polar hydrocarbon oil with a molecular weight greater than or equal to 350 g / mol, in particular greater than or equal to 400 g / mol; and (d) at least one apolar hydrocarbon oil with a molecular weight greater than or equal to 350 g / mol, in particular greater than or equal to 400 g / mol, said polar hydrocarbon oil(s) and apolar hydrocarbon oil(s) being present in a weight ratio strictly greater than 1.

[0015] As illustrated in the examples below, the inventors have discovered that the combination of a surfactant system combining at least one non-ionic surfactant of ester type according to the invention and at least one non-ionic surfactant of fatty alcohol type with a mixture of hydrocarbon oils in accordance with the invention makes it possible to obtain compositions with easy spreading, good glide and a light, non-greasy and non-sticky skin finish, and devoid of undesirable effects with regard to the skin barrier with regard to the nature of the oils present therein, while retaining satisfactory stability over time.

[0016] The oil-in-water emulsion type compositions according to the present invention demonstrate an optimal absorption speed by the keratin material during their application, this absorption speed being reflected in particular by a slippery feeling upon application.

[0017] The compositions of the invention are also not likely to degrade, that is to say respectful of the skin barrier of dry skin and have good stability over time and at temperature and in particular good microscopic robustness.

[0018] The invention also relates to a cosmetic process for the care and / or treatment of keratin materials, in particular the skin, comprising the application to these keratin materials, in particular the topical application to these keratin materials of a composition as defined above.

[0019] The present invention also relates to the use of a composition as described above in the cosmetic field, and in particular for preventing and / or treating symptoms linked to dryness problems on keratin materials.

[0020] The present invention also relates to the use of a composition as described above in the cosmetic field, and in particular for repairing and strengthening the skin barrier.

[0022] The composition according to the invention is cosmetic and / or dermatological, and preferably is cosmetic.

[0023] The composition according to the invention is generally suitable for topical application to the skin and therefore generally comprises a physiologically acceptable medium, i.e. compatible with the skin.

[0024] By "cosmetic" is meant a composition compatible with the skin and the appendages. The composition according to the invention is non-therapeutic.

[0027] A composition according to the invention comprises a physiologically acceptable medium, that is to say which has a pleasant color, odor and feel and does not generate unacceptable discomfort, that is to say tingling, tightness, redness, likely to discourage the user from applying this composition.

[0028] As used herein, the terms "treat" and "treatment" are intended to mean the alleviation of symptoms associated with a specific disorder or condition and / or the elimination of said symptoms as well as the complete disappearance of the disorder or condition in question.

[0029] In the context of the present invention, the terms "prevent" and "prevention" designate the reduction to a lesser degree of the risk or probability of occurrence of a given phenomenon. Non-ionic surfactants

[0032] According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the non-ionic surfactant of ester type comprises at least one unsaturated ester of formula (A) in which R1 and R2 respectively represent a C[8 to C30 fatty chain, with at least one of the groups R1 and R2 being unsaturated, preferably mono-unsaturated and at least one polyglycerol diester of formula (B) in which R3-C(O)- and R4 each represent a saturated, linear or branched C2o to C34 fatty chain.

[0033] According to a preferred embodiment, the non-ionic surfactant of ester type comprises at least POLYGLYCERYL-6 DISTEARATE (and) JOJOBA ESTERS. Unsaturated ester of formula (A):

[0034] More specifically, in formula (A), the R1—C(O) group corresponds to the carbon chain of the fatty acid. This chain can be linear or unsaturated, and comprises at least 18 carbon atoms. Mention may be made of oleic (C18:1), ga-doleic (C20:1), erucic (C22:1) acids, up to hexacosanoic acid (C26:1) for unsaturated acids. The R1—C(O) group can also consist of branched and saturated acids of at least 18 carbon atoms, also called Guerbet acids. The R2—O— group can consist of monounsaturated linear fatty alcohols with at least 18 carbon atoms. Mention may thus be made of octadecenol, eicosenol, docosenol and hexacosenol. The carbon chain of the alcohol can also be branched and saturated and contain at least 18 carbon atoms. Such alcohols are also called Guerbet alcohols.

[0035] Preferably, the unsaturated ester of formula (A) is a mixture of esters comprising different fatty chain lengths in their structures. More preferably, such an unsaturated ester is liquid at room temperature.

[0036] As a preferred unsaturated ester according to the invention, the product commonly called jojoba oil (or jojoba esters) may be mentioned, the liquid nature being due to the presence of monounsaturated chains. This oil comprises in particular esters of unsaturated fatty acids C18:1 (preferably minority), C20:1 and C22:1 (preferably majority with C20:1>C22:1), with unsaturated fatty alcohols C20:1, C22:1 and C24:1.

[0037] Fatty acid diester of polyglycerol of formula (B):

[0038] According to one embodiment, in formula (B) of fatty acid diester and polyglycerol, the group R3-C(O)- corresponds to the carbon chain of a fatty acid in C[8 to C44, preferably in C14-22, said acid usually being linear and saturated, preferably corresponding to a linear and saturated fatty acid in C20 to C34.

[0044] Generally speaking, waxes are mixtures comprising mainly monoesters of very long chain fatty acids and alcohols. Depending on the source of the wax, this mixture of monoesters may also contain a certain proportion of hydroxy acid esters such as hydroxypalmitic or hydroxystearic acid. This is the case, for example, with beeswax.

[0237] Protocol for characterizing application properties (playtime)

[0238] The application evaluation protocol is detailed below:

[0239] 50.0 pL of a composition to be evaluated are taken using a micropipette of Eppendorf type, equipped with a 0.5 mL combitips, then applied to a SKIN FX type support (Sheet Medium Back K6 Languette® from Axon Cable SAS) (support simulating an elastomer skin). The deposit is spread with the fingers on the support with 15 circular movements, then the stickiness and slipperiness of the deposit are evaluated a first time (by the user with the index and middle fingers). After 15 seconds, the deposit is spread again with 15 circular movements, the stickiness and slipperiness (if playtime) of the deposit are evaluated a second time. The user's fingers are then rinsed with a cloth moistened with hot water, then the deposit is evaluated a third time at t = 120 seconds.

[0240] The characteristics of the deposit are evaluated according to the following scale by comparison with bare skin:

[0241] [Tables 1] Slippery i Sticky | Deposit resists 4 Very satisfactory 5 | 5 i 5 Satisfactory """""" Acceptable Not conforming 3 iais î 2 — Very unacceptable 1 1

[0242] It should be noted that a slippery feeling during the second application indicates an optimal absorption speed of the composition by the keratin material. Viscosity measurement protocol:

[0243] For viscosity measurement, a Rhéomat RM100 viscometer is used with a measuring system comprising a type 3 spindle plus its type 3 cup and a thermostatically controlled bath. The operating procedure is as follows:

[0244] Install spindle 3 in the viscometer and make the blank. Fill cup 3 with cream and position it in the thermostatic bath, immerse spindle 3 in cup 3 and wait for it to reach a temperature of 25 °C. Start the measurement when spindle 3 is at the correct temperature and take the measurement after 10 min. Example 1: Preparation of compositions

[0245] Composition II according to the invention and compositions C1 and C2 outside the invention are prepared according to the protocol described below with the nature of the ingredients and their respective quantities being given in Table 1. The contents are expressed as a percentage by weight relative to the total weight of the composition. Preparation of compositions II, Cl and C2:

[0246] In a beaker, the components of phase A are weighed and then heated to a temperature ranging from 75 to 80 °C. The medium is stirred slowly using a rotor / stator (300 rpm). The components of phase B are weighed in a cup. When phase A is at the desired heating temperature, phase B is sprinkled into phase A, and stirring is gradually increased to 4000 rpm. The emulsion obtained is left stirring for 5 min, then the microscopic of the medium is checked, the emulsion must be medium and homogeneous. The heating is then stopped, then phase C is weighed and gradually added to the medium. The emulsion obtained is cooled with a cold water bath, then phase D is added at 25°C, the temperature of 30°C must not be exceeded during this step.

[0248] Compositions II according to the invention and C1 and C2 outside the invention were prepared according to example 1.

[0249] The three compositions were then tested according to the protocol previously described above in the “Methods and measurements” section.

[0250] Table 3 below details the results obtained, based on an average of five individual tests.

[0251] [Tables3] Tested parameter II (according to the invention) Cl (outside the invention) C2 (outside the invention) Slippery during application 4 3 4 Sticky during the 1st application 3 2 ■3 Slippery during playtime during the 2nd application 3 1 1 Sticky during the 2nd application 4 O 3 Total quantity of residue on the fingers 4 2 3 Results

[0252] As can be seen from the table above, composition C1 exhibits unacceptable stickiness from the first application. In addition, this composition does not exhibit satisfactory slip and leaves a residue on the fingers.

[0253] For its part, composition C2 no longer exhibits acceptable stickiness on the second application and is devoid of satisfactory slip.

[0254] Thus, only the composition according to the invention satisfies all of the criteria tested. Non-sticky in both applications, it advantageously retains a slipperiness during the second application, demonstrating an optimal absorption speed of the composition by the keratin material.
