Description

Title of the invention: Anhydrous skincare and / or makeup composition of keratinous materials technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to an anhydrous composition for the care and / or makeup of keratinous materials. The present invention also relates to a non-therapeutic process for the care and / or makeup of keratinous materials. STATE OF THE ART

[0002] It is common practice in the cosmetics industry to prepare compositions comprising various active ingredients for diverse purposes. Furthermore, an ultimate goal of the cosmetics industry has always been to provide consumers with highly effective products offering skin benefits such as hydration, whitening, cleansing, freshening, and others.

[0003] However, some cosmetic active ingredients are sensitive to water and / or oxygen, typical representatives of which are ascorbic acid, ferulic acid and tocopherol.

[0004] Some products focus on a water-free cosmetic base to avoid any contact with water. For example, some kits include an anhydrous composition and an aqueous composition, in which the cosmetic active ingredients are in the form of anhydrous powder. However, the bioavailability of the active ingredient poses a challenge for some products. There are also some kits that include an anhydrous composition and an aqueous composition, in which cosmetic active ingredients are present in the anhydrous composition; the two compositions can form a microemulsion when mixed together. However, some anhydrous compositions are sticky, which is unpleasant for consumers.

[0005] There is always a need for an anhydrous composition, especially for the care and / or makeup of keratinous materials, which can form a microemulsion when mixed with water or an aqueous composition, which is not too sticky. Summary of the invention

[0006] Thus, an object of the present invention is to propose an anhydrous composition, in particular for the care and / or makeup of keratinous materials, which can form a microemulsion when mixed with water or an aqueous composition, which is not too sticky.

[0007] Another object of the present invention is to propose a non-therapeutic process for the care and / or makeup of keratinous materials.

[0008] According to the first aspect, the present invention proposes an anhydrous composition, preferably for the care and / or makeup of keratinous materials, comprising: a. at least one non-ionic surfactant having an HLB value of 11-15 at a temperature of 25 °C selected from fatty acid polyglyceryl esters, alkyl (C16-C30) polyoxyethylenated (1-40 EO) and polyoxypropylenated (1-30 PO) ethers, alkyl polyglycosides, and one of their combinations; b. more than 0.5% by weight of at least one oil selected from N-acyl amino acid esters, aliphatic polycarboxylic acid esters and aliphatic alcohols comprising 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and one of their combinations, relative to the total weight of the composition; and c. at least one C2-C6 polyol.

[0009] The inventors discovered that the anhydrous composition can form a microemulsion when mixed with water or an aqueous composition by gentle mixing, which does not exhibit a sticky sensation.

[0010] The aqueous composition according to the present invention comprises 40% by weight or more of water, relative to the total weight of the composition.

[0011] According to the second aspect, the present invention proposes a non-therapeutic process for the care and / or makeup of keratinous materials, comprising: i. mixing the anhydrous composition according to the present invention and an aqueous composition to form a microemulsion; and ii. the application of the microemulsion on keratinous materials.

Consumers may mix the composition in one chamber with water or the aqueous composition in the other chamber to obtain a microemulsion.

[0104] The term “microemulsion” can be defined in two ways, namely, in a broader and a narrower sense. In other words, there is one case (“microemulsion in the narrow sense”) in which the microemulsion refers to a single thermodynamically stable isotropic liquid phase containing a ternary system having three ingredients, namely an oily component, an aqueous component, and a surfactant, and the other case (“microemulsion in the broad sense”) in which, among typical thermodynamically unstable emulsion systems, the microemulsion further includes those such emulsions exhibiting transparent or translucent appearances due to their smaller particle sizes (Satoshi Tomomasa, et al., Oil Chemistry, Vol. 37, No. 11 (1988), pp. 48–53). The term “microemulsion” as used here refers to a “microemulsion in the broad sense.”

[0105] Advantageously, in the microemulsion formed with the composition according to the present invention, the droplets have an average number size of 120 nm or less, preferably from 20 nm to 80 nm, more preferably from 20 nm to 50 nm.

[0106] The average volume size of the droplets can be determined using the known method of dynamic light scattering (DLS). A suitable instrument for this determination is the Malvern Zetasizer Nano ZS particle size analyzer, equipped with a standard laser with a power of 4 mW and a wavelength of 633 nm. This device is also equipped with a correlator (25 ns to 8000 s, 4000 channels max.).

[0107] The microemulsion obtained by the anhydrous composition with water or an aqueous composition can be used to care for and / or make up keratinous materials.

[0108] Thus, according to the second aspect, the present invention proposes a non-therapeutic process for the care and / or makeup of keratinous materials, comprising:

[0109] i) mixing the anhydrous composition according to the present invention with water or an aqueous composition to form a microemulsion; and

[0110] ii) the application of the microemulsion on keratinous materials.

[0111] The aqueous composition may comprise 40% or more by weight of water, for example, 45% to 99.9% by weight of water, relative to the total weight of the composition. EXAMPLES

[0112] The following examples serve to illustrate the present invention without, however, being limiting in nature.

[0130] The compositions of inventive examples 1-3 are compositions of the present invention. The compositions of comparative examples 1-3 do not include at least one non-ionic surfactant having an HLB value of 11-15 at a temperature of 25 °C selected from fatty acid polyglyceryl esters, alkyl (Ci6-C30) polyoxyethylenated (1-40 EO) and polyoxypropylenated (1-30 PO) ethers, alkyl polyglycosides, and one of their combinations. The compositions of comparative examples 4 to 6 do not include at least one oil selected from N-acyl amino acid esters, aliphatic polycarboxylic acid esters and aliphatic alcohols comprising 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and one of their combinations. The composition of comparative example 7 does not include oil. The composition of comparative example 8 includes only 0.5% by weight of an oil, relative to the total weight of the composition. Preparation procedure: The above compositions were prepared as follows (taking as an example the composition of inventive example 1): 1. Introduction of polyols and cosmetic active ingredients (where applicable) with stirring at 200 rpm then heating to 85 °C to obtain a clear liquid; 2. Cooling to 60 °C, to obtain a transparent to translucent viscous liquid; 3. Introduction of non-ionic surfactant (if applicable) and oil (if applicable), with stirring at 650 rpm until uniform, then cooling to 30 °C to obtain the composition. Assessment : 1. Particle size Each composition prepared in inventive examples 1-3 and comparative examples 1-8 was mixed with water by gentle mixing, and then the droplet size in the resulting mixtures was determined by Brookhaven DLS with a diffusion angle (°) of 90 and a count rate of 355.1 kcps. The following criterion was used to evaluate stability. If the particle size (volume mean diameter) is 120 nm or more, then no microemulsion is formed. If the particle size (volume average diameter) is greater than 10 nm and less than 120 nm, then a microemulsion is formed.

[0131] Table 3 indicates whether a microemulsion has formed or not.

[0134] It can be seen that the compositions according to the present invention can form a microemulsion when mixed with water, whereas the compositions of comparative examples 1 to 8 cannot form a microemulsion when mixed with water. 2. Sensation

[0135] 4 skin experts evaluated the sticky sensation of inventive examples 1-3 and of Comparative example 8 was used in a blind trial. To assess stickiness, experts touched the skin after applying the test composition and noted the degree of stickiness on the skin with a score of "1-5" according to the following standard:

[0136] 1: means non-sticky,

[0137] 2: means slightly sticky,

[0138] 3: means moderately sticky;

[0139] 4: moderately to very sticky

[0140] 5: means very sticky.

[0141] The scores given by 4 experts were averaged and the results are presented in Table 4.

[0142] [Table 4]

[0143] [Tables4] Score (sticky sensation) El. 1 EL 2 EL 3 EC. 8 Average 1.5 2 2 4.5

[0144] It can be seen that the compositions according to the present invention present much better results in terms of stickiness than the composition of comparative example 8.
