Description

Title of the invention: NATURAL FACE-LIFTING MASK FIELD OF INVENTION

[0001] The invention relates to a two-part composition for application to the skin in order to form a high-resistance, rinse-off lifting and anti-aging gel mask.

[0002] CONTEXT OF THE INVENTION.

[0003] The skin produces less collagen and elastin as it ages. For example, after the age of twenty, a person (human) produces about one percent less collagen in the skin each year. As a result, the skin becomes thinner and more fragile. Inevitably, brown spots, redness, wrinkles, crow's feet, age spots, bags under the eyes, and similar signs may begin to appear.

[0004] Consumers often wish to improve the appearance of these age-related skin imperfections and seek both instant and lasting results. Many consumer products and procedures are dedicated to concealing and reducing skin blemishes and imperfections. Some employ medical procedures, while others include makeup, foundations, and masks, as well as topical products to provide hydration, such as lotions and creams. Some of these products contain active ingredients, for example, niacinamide, which help repair and rejuvenate the skin over time, as well as peptides and plant extracts. Unfortunately, these products and procedures have drawbacks. For example, after removing makeup-like solutions, the skin appears the same as before the makeup was applied.Furthermore, makeup products are often noticeable, offer minimal textural benefits, and have no lasting long-term effect on the skin, making them less appealing as a solution for anti-aging skin. Similarly, moisturizers do not address wrinkles and fine lines, at least not in the short term. And, of course, many consumers cannot afford or prefer not to undergo such drastic cosmetic procedures. Moreover, formulating environmentally friendly cosmetic products—that is, products whose design and development take environmental concerns into account—is becoming a major priority in addressing global challenges. Therefore, it is essential to offer more sustainable compositions, preparation processes, and / or ingredients to meet these environmental challenges.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 natural and / or natural origin and more particularly, of plant origin while reducing the use of petrochemical compounds.

[0005] Attempts have been made to develop new categories of products to improve the appearance of the skin without the drawbacks of existing products and procedures. One such family of products can generally be classified as "adhesive contractile film-forming agents." Film-forming agents are chemical compositions that, when applied to the skin, leave a flexible, cohesive, and continuous coating. A specific group of film-forming agents are also adherent to the skin and contractile. Unfortunately, these film-forming products, while offering dramatic and instant results, quickly lose their skin-tightening effect, lose their elasticity, and may whiten, crack, and peel.Furthermore, such products may include harsh ingredients such as peptides and plant extracts that can be irritating, especially when combined with firming and tightening agents, and may be difficult to apply to the skin.

[0006] The present disclosure proposes an improved skin-firming product that is easy to apply, can be removed with water, does not cause skin irritation and, once removed, provides immediate short-term firming and longer-term skin benefits. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0026] Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following more detailed description, by way of example, of the principles of the invention.

[0027] This disclosure describes particular embodiments in accordance with the general inventive concepts and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way. Indeed, the invention as described in the specification is broader than, and not limited by, the particular embodiments presented herein, and the terms used herein have their full ordinary meaning. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0028] “Natural” or “of natural origin” as used herein mean, and refer to, cosmetically acceptable materials and components that are one or more of Those obtained directly from nature, those obtained from nature with minimal processing, and those derived from materials obtained from nature. The cleaning composition according to this disclosure is, in certain embodiments, up to 99.11% natural, or "Highly Natural" or "Completely Natural," meaning that all carbon atoms of intentionally added ingredients come from natural sources in accordance with ISO 16128.

[0029] “Free from petrochemicals” means that petrochemicals Excluded products have not been added as components. Some specific, but not limiting, examples of petrochemicals that are absent from the cosmetic composition include thickeners such as, but not limited to, cross-linked polyacrylic acid thickeners, mineral oil, benzalconium chloride, isododecane, isohexadecane, and the like. In some embodiments, the cosmetic composition is not free of petrochemicals but is formulated to have an amount of petrochemicals equal to or less than the amounts found in similar commercially available compositions.

[0030] “Silicone-free” means that the excluded silicones have not been added as that component. In some embodiments, a composition is devoid of silicones. Some specific, but not limiting, examples of silicones that are absent from the cosmetic composition include, but are not limited to, silicone polymers, for example selected from dimethicone, cyclopenta-siloxane and other silicone oils, and silicone elastomers.

[0031] “Free from surfactants” means that the excluded surfactants have not been added in as a component. In certain specific embodiments, the cosmetic composition is free of sulfate-based surfactants. In certain embodiments, the cosmetic composition is free of ethylene glycol (PEG)-based surfactants. A person skilled in the art will realize that an excluded surfactant may be present in a composition through its presence in one or more of the formulation components.

[0032] According to various embodiments, a two-part cosmetic composition for application to the skin to form a rinse-off gel mask is proposed. The cosmetic composition is suitable for sensitive skin and offers moisturizing benefits and gentle blurring / blurring effects, providing transformative, professional-level results, including skin smoothing, firming, texture improvement, and enhanced radiance. These results are immediate and long-lasting after the cosmetic composition is removed from the skin. Long-lasting results are observed, including a lifting effect and a reduction in wrinkles around the mouth and from the users' perspective.

[0033] As provided in the manufactured product, the cosmetic composition offers a professional type of face mask that is easy to use and apply and, after gentle rinsing, provides prolonged benefits that closely match a competitive comparative composition of different composition, and that stands out from the comparative composition when comparing texture, radiance and refinement of skin grain.

[0034] In certain embodiments, the disclosure of the cosmetic composition includes: combinable parts comprising a first part, a lifting serum that includes at least one silicate and water; and a second part, a gelling solution that includes at least one plant-derived gum thickener of natural origin; at least one clay; at least one glycosaminoglycan comprising hyaluronic acid selected from sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate, a hyaluronic acid derivative, or a combination thereof; and at least one glycosaminoglycan having a molecular weight in the range of approximately 1 million Daltons to approximately 1.4 million Daltons. The composition allows for the inclusion of skin-active ingredients at levels that provide measurable skin benefits, including prolonged hydration after rinsing.

[0035] Upon mixing the combinable parts and applying them to a substrate, the silicate and polymeric film-forming agents of the composition form a semi-solid gel film that can be easily applied after mixing and remain on the skin without dripping until gently removed with water. Without going into detail, mixing the lifting serum portion with the gelling solution triggers thickening of at least one naturally derived plant gum thickener, in particular plant gums (exemplified here by dehydroxanthan gum), which initiates a sol-gel transition of the sodium silicate. Furthermore, interactions between the citric acid component of the gelling solution and the silicate of the lifting serum lead to the formation of spheres coated with a silicate film that form a tensioning network. The spheres may include encapsulated hectorite.

[0036] The composition according to the invention closely matches or exceeds the performance of the comparative composition in terms of application, drying and removal capacity as well as final results and achieves the benefits as demonstrated by the use of gelling solution components of natural origin.

[0037] In a pH range of approximately 9 to 11, or between 9.5 and 11, or between 10.2 and 11, or between 10.5 and 11, and in particular embodiments at a pH of approximately 10.8, the two parts form a silica gel that provides a transformative texture that instantly lifts the skin and, after rinsing, provides unexpectedly long-lasting effects. In various embodiments, the thickening ingredients are gums Naturally derived gum and silicate are supplied in the composition in an advantageous ratio that allows the formation of a silica gel which is spreadable on the skin after mixing and firm enough to remain on the skin until rinsing, where the ratio of natural-derived gum to silicate thickener is approximately 1:1 to 1:20. In certain particular embodiments, the pH is 10.8 and the ratio of natural-derived plant gum to silicate thickener is approximately 1:13.

[0038] In some embodiments, the cosmetic composition is free or essentially free of ingredients that would substantially alter the pH, as described herein, including acids and reactive ingredients that would produce acidic by-products, and plasticizers such as glycerin (also identified herein as a moisturizing or humectant agent). In some embodiments, the composition is free or essentially free of niacinamide. In some embodiments, the composition is free or essentially free of peptides.In some embodiments, the composition is free or substantially free of plant extracts, for example, but not limited to, Camellia Sinensis leaf extract, Nelumbo Nucifera (Lotus) seed extract, Sophora Angustifolia root extract, Rhus Semialata extract, Ginkgo Biloba leaf extract, Lonicera Japonica (Honeysuckle) flower extract, Camellia Sinensis leaf extract, Portulaca Oleracea extract.

[0039] In certain embodiments, the composition according to the invention is used on one or more parts of the body or the entire body, the face, the hair and / or the scalp, and distinct parts of the body. The cosmetic composition can be used on "normal" skin or on skin that is other than normal, and for example, that can be dry or oily. LIFTING SERUM SECTION Silicate

[0040] In accordance with the disclosure, the cosmetic composition includes at least one silicate.

[0041] In various embodiments, at least one silicate is selected from the group consisting of sodium silicate, magnesium silicate, calcium silicate, aluminum silicate, and combinations thereof. In some particular embodiments, the silicate is sodium silicate. Examples of silicates that can be obtained commercially include hydrated sodium silicate powders that are soluble in water.

[0042] In certain embodiments, at least one silicate comprising sodium silicate can be obtained commercially under the names BRITESIL C 205 (TM) and BRITESIL C207 (TM) from PQ Corporation, and their combinations. In some embodiments, at least one silicate includes BRITESIL C 205.

[0043] In some embodiments, at least one silicate comprises sodium silicate. In some embodiments, sodium silicate is present in a range of approximately 1% to approximately 15%, or approximately 3.3% by weight, relative to the weight of the cosmetic composition. In some embodiments, sodium silicate is represented by the formula Na2O-(SiO2)x, where x is the ratio of silicon dioxide (SiO2) to sodium oxide (Na2O) by weight, where silicon dioxide (SiO2) is present with sodium oxide (Na2O) at a weight ratio ("x") in a range of approximately 2.0 to approximately 3.4, or less than approximately 2.4.

[0044] In various embodiments, the total amount of silicate present in the cosmetic composition is from approximately 1% to approximately 20%, or from approximately 1% to approximately 15%, or from approximately 1% to approximately 9%, or from approximately 2% to approximately 4%, or any suitable combination, sub-combination, range, or sub-range thereof by weight relative to the weight of the cosmetic composition. However, those skilled in the art will realize that other ranges fall within the scope of the invention.

[0045] Thus, at least one silicate is present, by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, from about 1.0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 to about 20% by weight, including intermediate increments and ranges. Solvent / water

[0046] According to the various embodiments, water is present in the cosmetic composition in a range of approximately 80% to approximately 98%, or approximately 85% to approximately 95%, or approximately 89% to approximately 95%, or any suitable combination, sub-combination, range, or sub-range of these values ​​by weight relative to the total weight of the cosmetic composition. In some embodiments, water is present in the cosmetic composition in an amount of at least approximately 94% by weight relative to the weight of the cosmetic composition. However, those skilled in the art will realize that other ranges fall within the scope of the invention. Thus, water is present, by weight, relative to the total weight of the cosmetic composition, from about 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97 to about 98% by weight, including intermediate increments and ranges.

[0047] In some embodiments, water is present in a range of about 89% to about 98%, or about 94% by weight, relative to the weight of the cosmetic composition.

[0048] The water used may be sterile demineralized water and / or floral water such as rose water, cornflower water, chamomile water or linden water, and / or natural thermal or mineral water such as, for example: Vittel water, Vichy basin water, Uriage water, La Roche-Posay water, La Bourboule water, water The water from Enghien-les-Bains, Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, Néris-les-Bains, Allevar-les-Bains, Digne, Maizières, Neyrac-les-Bains, Lons-le-Saunier, Eaux-Bonnes, Rochefort, Saint-Christau, Fumades, Tercis-les-Bains, or Avène is used. The aqueous phase may also include reconstituted thermal water, which is water containing trace elements such as zinc, copper, magnesium, etc., recreating the characteristics of thermal water.

[0049] In some embodiments, the cosmetic composition may include one or more additional water-soluble solvents. Non-limiting examples of water-soluble solvents include, for example, glycerin, Cl-4 alcohols, organic solvents, fatty alcohols, fatty ethers, fatty esters, polyols, glycols, vegetable oils, mineral oils, liposomes, laminar lipid materials, or any mixture thereof.Examples of organic solvents include, but are not limited to, monoalcohols and polyols such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, propyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol and phenylethyl alcohol, or glycols or glycol ethers such as, for example, monomethyl, monoethyl and monobutyl ethers of ethylene glycol, propylene glycol or associated ethers such as, for example, monomethyl ether of propylene glycol, butylene glycol, hexylene glycol, dipropylene glycol and alkyl ethers of diethylene glycol, for example, monoethyl ether or monobutyl ether of diethylene glycol.

[0050] In certain embodiments, the cosmetic composition may be free or substantially free of one or more plasticizers, for example, plasticizers selected from the group consisting of phthalate esters, adipates, citrates, alkane dicarboxylic acids, glycols, and phosphates. Thus, in some examples, the composition may be free of glycerin, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, glycerol, sorbitol, dipropylene glycol, propane diol, triethyl citrate, isohexadecane, and combinations thereof.

[0051] When present, the total amount of one or more water-soluble solvents can be from about 0.1% to about 20%, or from about 0.1% to about 15%, or from about 0.1% to about 10%, or from about 0.1% to about 0.5%, including intermediate increments and ranges, relative to the total weight of the cosmetic composition.

[0052] In some embodiments, the cosmetic composition includes butylene glycol. In some embodiments, butylene glycol is present in an amount of approximately 0.3% by weight, relative to the weight of the composition. pH of the cosmetic composition

[0053] The pH of the cosmetic composition is between 9 and 11, or between 9.5 and 11, or between 10.2 and 11, or between 10.5 and 11 and in some embodiments, is about 10.8. The pH can be corrected to the desired value by adding a base (organic or inorganic) to the cosmetic composition, for example ammonia or a primary, secondary or tertiary (poly)amine, such as monoethanolamine, diethanamine, triethanolamine, isopropanolamine or 1,3-propanediamine, or alternatively by adding an inorganic or organic acid, advantageously a carboxylic acid, such as, for example, citric acid.

[0054] As disclosed herein, the pH can also be chosen by varying the proportions of the gelling portion comprising at least one cross-linked acrylic polyacid thickener (in some embodiments carbomer) with the lifting serum portion comprising the silicate (in some embodiments sodium silicate).

[0055] In some examples, embodiments of the composition according to the invention can be prepared by mixing the gelling solution portion and the lifting serum portion in varying proportions to provide a composition having a pH in a range of about 9 to about 11, or between 10.5 and 11, or from about 10.6 to about 10.8, and in some embodiments, about 10.83, where the gelling solution portion and the lifting serum portions are mixed to provide a crosslinked polyacrylic acid thickener-to-silicate ratio in a range of about 1:1 to 1:13.

[0056] Therefore, the pH can be in a range of about 9 to about 11, including intermediate increments of 0.01, and in some examples, the pH can be in a range of about 10.50, 10.51, 10.52, 10.53, 10.54, 10.55, etc. to about 10.81, 10.82, 10.83, 10.84, 10.85, etc. to about 11.00.

[0057] Maintaining the pH within the described range is influenced by the relative proportions of the thickener comprising the polymer and the silicate. Given the relatively high pH of the silicate compared to that of the thickener, an imbalance in these ingredients can cause the composition to become cloudy, gummy, or unusable. Therefore, the ratio of plant-derived gum thickener of natural origin (e.g., dehydroxanthan gum with citric acid) to silicate (e.g., sodium silicate) is in the range of approximately 1:1 to 1:20, including intermediate increments and ranges. In some embodiments, the ratio is in the range of approximately 1:5 to approximately 1:18, or approximately 1:10 to 1:15, or approximately 1:13.Variously, the ratio can be from 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, 1:6, 1:7, 1:8, 1:9, 1:10, 1:11, 1:12, 1:13, 1:14, 1:15, 1:16, 1:17, 1:18, 1:19 to 1:20, including intermediate increments and ranges, relative to the total weight of the cosmetic composition. GELDING SOLUTION SECTION Thickener (natural vegetable gum)

[0058] In accordance with the disclosure, the cosmetic composition includes at least one thickener.

[0059] In certain particular embodiments, the thickener is a plant-derived gum of natural origin selected from dehydroxanthan gum, sclerotium gum, hydroxypropyl starch phosphate, cellulose gum, carrageenan gum, and combinations thereof. The thickener is supplied together with citric acid. In certain embodiments, the thickener includes a mixture of dehydroxanthan gum with citric acid, a mixture of hydroxypropyl starch phosphate and citric acid; a mixture of sclerotium gum and citric acid; a mixture of cellulose gum and citric acid, a mixture of carrageenan gum and citric acid, or a combination thereof.

[0061] In some embodiments, dehydroxanthan gum is present in a range of about 0.2% to about 3%, or 0.5% to about 2%, or about 0.7% to about 0.8%, by weight, relative to the total weight of the cosmetic composition, and citric acid is present in an amount of about 0.1% to about 4%, or about 0.5% to about 2%, or about 1%, or any suitable combination, sub-combination, range or sub-range associated by weight, relative to the total weight of the cosmetic composition.

[0062] In various embodiments, the total amount of plant-derived gum thickener of natural origin present in the cosmetic composition is from about 0.2% to about 3%, or any suitable combination, sub-combination, range, or sub-range thereof by weight relative to the weight of the cosmetic composition. In some embodiments, the total amount of thickener comprising a plant-derived gum of natural origin is present up to and not more than about 3% by weight relative to the weight of the cosmetic composition. However, those skilled in the art will realize that other ranges fall within the scope of the invention.

[0063] Thus, one or more thickeners are present, by weight, relative to the total weight of the cosmetic composition, at a level of approximately 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9 to approximately 3.0 percent, including increments and ranges intermediaries.

[0064] In various embodiments, the total amount of citric acid present in the cosmetic composition is from approximately 0.1% to approximately 4%, or from approximately 0.5% to approximately 2%, or approximately 1%, or any suitable combination, sub-combination, range, or sub-range by weight, relative to the weight of the cosmetic composition. In some embodiments, the total amount of thickener comprising a naturally derived plant gum is present up to and not exceeding approximately 3% by weight, relative to the weight of the cosmetic composition. However, those skilled in the art will realize that other ranges fall within the scope of the invention.

In some particular embodiments, the at least one glycosaminoglycan comprising hyaluronic acid is sodium hyaluronate having a molecular weight of approximately 1 million Daltons to approximately 1.4 million Daltons.

[0070] Examples of sodium hyaluronate that can be obtained commercially include Cristalhyal LO (TM) from Givaudan Active Beauty.

[0071] At least one glycosaminoglycan comprising hyaluronic acid selected from sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate, a hyaluronic acid derivative, or a combination thereof in the cosmetic composition is present in an amount of approximately 0.01% to approximately 0.3%, or approximately 0.03% to approximately 0.25%, or approximately 0.05% to approximately 0.2%, or approximately 0.06% to approximately 0.1%, or approximately 0.065% to approximately 0.08%, or at least approximately 0.02% by weight, or at less than approximately 0.05% by weight, or at least approximately 0.075% by weight, or at least approximately 0.1% by weight, or at least approximately 0.2% by weight, or any suitable combination, sub-combination, range, or associated sub-range by weight, relative to the total weight of the cosmetic composition. However, those skilled in the art will realize that other ranges fall within the scope of the invention.

[0072] Thus, at least one glycosaminoglycan comprising a hyaluronic acid selected from sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate, a hyaluronic acid derivative, or one of their combinations, is present in an amount by weight, relative to the total weight of the cosmetic composition, of about 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.10, 0.20, to about 0.30 percent by weight, including intermediate increments and ranges. Clay

[0073] In accordance with the disclosure, the composition includes at least one clay. Only one type of clay may be used, but two or more different types of clay may be used in combination.

[0074] In certain embodiments, at least one clay may be an organophilic clay, more particularly modified clays such as hectorite, montmorillonite, bentonite, attapulgite and sepiolite, and mixtures thereof. These clays are modified by a chemical compound selected from quaternary amines, tertiary amines, amine acetates, imidazolines, amine soaps, fatty sulfates, alkylarylsulfonates and amine oxides, and mixtures thereof.

[0075] In some embodiments, at least one clay is chosen from the group consisting of talc, mica and hectorite.

[0076] In some embodiments, the at least one clay comprises hectorite. In some embodiments, the at least one clay consists of hectorite present in a range of approximately 0.02% to approximately 0.1%, or approximately 0.5% by weight, relative to the weight of the cosmetic composition.

[0077] Examples of hectorite that can be obtained commercially include Elementis' BENTONE HYDROCLAY 2000 LO. Other examples include BENTONE HYDROCLAY 2000, BENTONE HYDROCLAY 1100, BENTONE HYDROCLAY 2001, BENTONE HYDROCLAY 2100, BENTONE HYDROCLAY 900, or any combination thereof. In a particular embodiment, BENTONE HYDROCLAY 2000 may be selected.

[0078] In various embodiments, the total amount of at least one clay present in the cosmetic composition is approximately 0.01% to approximately 0.2%, or approximately 0.02% to approximately 0.1%, or approximately 0.03% to approximately 0.08%, or approximately 0.04% to approximately 0.05%, or at least 0.02% by weight, or at least 0.05% by weight, or any suitable combination, sub-combination, range or sub-range by weight, per relative to the weight of the cosmetic composition. However, a person skilled in the art will realize that other areas fall within the scope of the invention.

[0079] Thus, each of the at least one clay is present in an amount by weight, relative to the total weight of the cosmetic composition, of about 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.10, to about 0.2 percent by weight, including intermediate increments and ranges.

[0080] The term “clay” refers to a naturally occurring material composed primarily of fine-grained minerals, which is generally plastic at an appropriate water content and hardens when dried or fired. Although clay usually contains phyllosilicates, it may contain other materials that impart plasticity and harden upon drying or firing. Associated phases in clay may include materials that do not impart plasticity and organic matter. A common definition is that of the Penguin Dictionary of Science, namely, "finely divided rock materials whose constituent minerals are various silicates, chiefly of magnesium or aluminium." Clay includes the minerals Kaolinite (usually defined as [SLJAhOio (OH)8.nH2O (n=0 or 4)], Illite (usually defined as MJSie.sAli JAhFe.fHsMg.vsCLo (OH)4), Ver-miculite (usually defined as MxfSi7AlJAlFe.05Mg0.5O2O (OH)4), Smectite (generally defined as Mx[Si8]Al3.2Feo.2Mgo.6O2O (OH)4), Chlorite (generally defined as (Al1(OH)2 55)4 [Si6.8Al10i.2}Al34Mgo.6)2O(OH)4), and Phylosilicate or talc (generally defined as Mg3Si4OiO(OH)2). .

[0081] Another definition, frequently used by chemists, is "a sediment or sedimentary rock of natural origin composed of one or more minerals and accessory compounds, the whole usually being rich in hydrated aluminum silicate, iron or magnesium, hydrated alumina, or iron oxide, having particles predominantly of colloidal or near-colloidal size, and commonly developing plasticity when sufficiently pulverized and wetted" (see Kirk-Othmer, Encyclopaedia of Chemical Technology, Volume 5, page 544, 2nd edition, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York, 1964). Examples of clays are given in the book "Clay Mineralogy," S. Caillere, S. Hénin, M. Rautureau, 2nd edition 1982, Masson. Clays can be of natural or synthetic origin.

[0082] Hydrophilic clay includes smectites such as saponites, hectorites, montmorillonites, bentonites, and beidellite. Hydrophilic clay includes synthetic hectorites (also called laponites) such as the products sold by the company under the names Laporte Laponite XLG, Laponite RD, and Laponite RDS (these products are sodium silicates and magnesium silicates, in particular sodium, lithium, and magnesium silicates), bentonites such as the product sold under the name Bentone® HC Rheox, magnesium silicates, and products based on Aluminum silicates, such as the hydrated products sold by Vanderbilt under the names Ultra Veegum®, Veegum® HS, and Veegum® DGT, or calcium silicates, particularly the synthetic form sold by the company under the name Micro-cel® C, are examples of fuller's earth. Fuller's earth is primarily composed of hydrated aluminum silicates that contain metallic ions such as magnesium, sodium, and calcium within their structure. Montmorillonite is the main clay mineral in fuller's earth, but it may also contain other minerals such as kaolinite, attapulgite, and palygorskite, among other components.

[0083] A lipophilic clay refers to a clay that swells in a lipophilic medium; the clay swells and forms a colloidal dispersion. Lipophilic clays include modified clays such as modified magnesium silicate hectorites (Rheox Bentone VS38 gel) modified with a C22 C1O ammonium chloride fatty acid, such as hectorite modified with distearyldimethyl-lammonium chloride (CTFA name: Disteardimonium hectorite) sold under the name "Bentone 38 CE" by Rheox or Bentone® 38V by ELEMENTIS.

[0084] The origin of such a clay may be a natural or synthetic mineral clay, such as hectorite, bentonite and their quaternized derivatives, for example obtained by reacting the minerals with a quaternary ammonium compound, such as stearalconium bentonite, hectorites, quaternized hectorites such as Quatemium-18 hectorite, carbonates such as propylene carbonate, bentones, and the like.

[0085] Non-limiting examples of clay that can be used in the present invention include fuller's earth, volcanic ash mud from Pinatubo in the Philippines, Aleppo clay from Syria, volcanic mud from Pulau Tiga in Malaysia, Nha Trang mud from Vietnam, white kaolinite from Korea, yellow loess from Korea, Jeju volcanic clay from Korea, Guanziling mud from Taiwan, Wudalianchi volcanic mud from China, black mud from Yuncheng Salt Lake in China, mineral mud from Tantou Village in China, porcelain clay (kaolin), Maifan stone from China, Beppu Onsen Fango from Japan, Kucha from Japan, Tanakura clay from Japan, Cambrian blue clay from Russia, Blue Lagoon mud from Iceland, Saki Lake mud from Ukraine, Karlovy Vary heath mud from the Czech Republic, and Heviz Georgikon heath mud. from Hungary, the heath mud of the Austrian Alps, the mud of Bad Wilsnack in Germany,Bavarian mineral salt mountain mud from Germany, volcanic ash from Freiburg, Germany, Santorini mud from Greece, Mar Menor mud from Spain, volcanic mud from Ischia, Italy, Euganean thermal mud from Italy, yellow illite clay from France, French green clay - Montmorillonite, Calistoga mud from the United States, sacred clay and Formalite from the United States, Redmond clay from the United States, Arctic mineral mud from Canada, Tulum Mayan clay from Mexico, glacial clay from Canada, white Amazonian clay from Brazil, volcanic thermal mud from El Chillante in Argentina, African healing clay and Australian olive green clay.

The expression "consisting essentially of" limits the scope of a claim to the specified elements, steps, or material(s) and to those that do not materially affect the fundamental and novel feature(s) of the claimed invention.All the processes and materials described herein that incorporate the present invention can, in alternative embodiments, be defined more specifically by any one of the transitional terms "comprising", "consisting essentially of" and "consisting of".

[0135] Apart from the examples of operation, or unless otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities of ingredients and / or reaction conditions may in all cases be modified by the term "approximately", meaning to the nearest 10% of the number indicated (for example, "approximately 10%" means 9% to 11% and "approximately 2%" means 1.8% to 2.2%).

[0136] All percentages and ratios are calculated by weight unless otherwise stated. All percentages are calculated relative to the total composition unless otherwise stated. In general, unless expressly stated otherwise herein, "weight" or "quantity" as used herein with respect to the percentage quantity of an ingredient refers to the quantity of raw material comprising the ingredient, the raw material being described herein as comprising less than and up to 100% of the ingredient's activity. Therefore, the weight percentage of an active ingredient in a composition is represented as the quantity of raw material containing the active ingredient that is used and may or may not reflect the final percentage of the active ingredient, the final percentage of the active ingredient being dependent on the weight percentage of the active ingredient in the raw material.

[0137] All ranges and quantities stated herein are intended to include subranges and quantities using any disclosed point as a boundary. Thus, a range of "1% to 10%, such as 2% to 8%, such as 3% to 5%" is intended to encompass ranges of "1% to 8%", "1% to 5%", "2% to 10%", and so on. All numbers, quantities, ranges, etc., are intended to be modified by the term "approximately", whether or not expressly stated. Similarly, a given range of "approximately 1% to 10%" is intended to have its boundaries of both 1% and 10% modified by the term "approximately". Furthermore, it is understood that where a quantity of a component is given, it is intended to refer to the quantity of the active ingredient, unless specifically stated otherwise.

[0138] Although the numerical ranges and parameters presenting the general scope of the disclosure are approximations, unless otherwise indicated, the numerical values ​​presented in the specific examples are reported as accurately as possible. However, every numerical value inherently contains some errors necessarily resulting from the standard deviation observed in their respective test measurements. The following example serves to illustrate embodiments of this disclosure but is not intended to be exhaustive.

[0139] Although a number of exemplary aspects and embodiments have been discussed above, those skilled in the art will recognize some of their modifications, permutations, additions, and subcombinations, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes can be made, and equivalents can be substituted by elements thereof, without departing from the scope of the invention. Furthermore, numerous modifications can be made to adapt a particular situation or matter to the teachings of the invention without departing from its essential scope. It is therefore anticipated that the invention is not limited to the particular embodiments disclosed herein and that the following annexed claims and those relating to demands presented below shall be interpreted to include all such modifications, permutations, additions and sub-combinations as they enter into their true spirit and scope.
