Description

Title of the invention: STABLE SUN CARE COMPOSITION technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a composition, preferably a cosmetic composition, and more preferably a stable sun care cosmetic composition exhibiting improved cosmetic sensations. STATE OF THE ART

[0002] Giving the skin a comfortable texture is one of the key features of cosmetic products, especially sun care cosmetic products.

[0003] It should be noted that a composition that is unstable and easily causes the structure of the composition to collapse often provides a feeling of comfort during use. This means that it is difficult to offer both a feeling of comfort during use and good stability.

[0004] To date, several technologies concerning gel-type compositions or emulsion compositions that provide improved texture and stability have been reported.

[0005] For example, JP H11-246379A discloses a sunscreen cosmetic including ingredients (A) ethanol, (B) starch powder and / or silicic acid anhydride having an average primary particle diameter of 1 pm or more, and (C) a UV light diffusing agent and / or a UV light absorbing agent.

[0006] In addition, WO 2007 / 144670 discloses a skin care composition in the form of an emulsion comprising: a. an organic sunscreen component comprising at least one sunscreen selected from the group consisting of bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine and methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol; b. a moisturizing system comprising starch or a derivative thereof and a polymeric quaternary compound salt having humectant properties; and c. a vector comprising an oily phase, an aqueous phase and an emulsifying system, said emulsifying system comprising at least one emulsifier selected from an anionic or non-ionic emulsifier.

[0007] Furthermore, WO 2017 / 103083 discloses a composition, in particular for the care and / or makeup of keratinous materials, comprising at least one aqueous phase containing at least: • a hydrophilic gelling agent; and • a dispersion of at least one anhydrous composite material made up of at least: • 3% to 15% by weight of at least one lipophilic gelling agent, relative to the total weight of the material; • 10% to 50% by weight of fillers, relative to the total weight of the material; and • 40% to 85% by weight of at least one fat phase, relative to weight total material.

[0008] However, there is still a demand for a composition that can provide keratinous substances with an improved texture, such as a light / fresh feeling and a reduced greasy feel, and that also has good stability. DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

[0009] An objective of the present invention is to provide a stable composition that can offer improved cosmetic sensations, such as no or reduced oily / greasy sensation and an improved feeling of lightness / freshness.

[0031] The composition according to the present invention is stable immediately after preparation of the composition and for a long time after preparation of the composition thanks to increased viscosity.

[0032] Thus, the composition according to the present invention can offer an excellent tactile sensation, in particular a skin sensation during and after application of the composition. Therefore, the composition according to the present invention is very well suited to topical cosmetic compositions for keratinous substances, such as skin.

[0033] The composition according to the present invention and similar will be explained in more detail below. [Composition]

[0068] - Inorganic UV filter

[0069] The inorganic UV filter used for the present invention is water-insoluble in solvents such as water and ethanol commonly used in cosmetics, but can be hydrophilic and / or lipophilic.

[0070] The inorganic UV filter used for the present invention can be active in the UV-A and / or UV-B region.

[0071] Preferably, the inorganic UV filter should be in the form of a fine particle such that its average (primary) particle diameter ranges from 1 nm to 200 nm, preferably from 5 nm to 150 nm, and more preferably from 10 nm to 100 nm. The average (primary) particle size or average (primary) particle diameter is here an arithmetic mean diameter. Preferably, (b) inorganic UV filters can have an average primary particle size ranging from 5 nm to 80 nm, preferably from 10 nm to 50 nm.

[0072] The expression "average primary particle size" used herein may represent an average volume-average diameter that is given by the statistical particle size distribution at half the population, designated by D50. For example, the average volume-average diameter may be measured by a laser diffraction particle size distribution analyzer, such as the Mastersizer 2000 from Malvern Corp.

[0073] The inorganic UV filter can be chosen from the group consisting of silicon carbide, metal oxides which may be coated or not, and mixtures thereof.

(Organic load)

[0180] The composition according to the present invention comprises (d) at least one organic filler. Two or more organic fillers may be used in combination. Thus, a single type of organic filler or a combination of different types of organic fillers may be used.

[0181] The term "charge" should be understood as natural or synthetic particles of any shape, which are substantially insoluble in the medium of the composition at room temperature (25 °C) and atmospheric pressure (105 Pa).

[0182] It is preferable that the (d) organic charge be in the form of a fine particle such that the average (primary) particle diameter is between 0.2 pm and 20 pm. The average (primary) particle size or average (primary) particle diameter is here an arithmetic mean diameter. The expression "size" The "primary particle mean" used here can represent a volume-average average diameter that is given by the statistical particle size distribution at half the population, designated by D50. For example, the volume-average average diameter can be measured by a laser diffraction particle size distribution analyzer, such as the Mastersizer 2000 from Malvem Corp.

[0183] The (d) organic charge used for the present invention may have any particulate form, such as spherical, oblong or platelet form.

[0184] The (d) organic filler can be selected from organic polymer fillers, non-polymer organic fillers, and combinations thereof. Preferably, the (d) organic polymer filler is selected from organic polymer fillers. Thus, the (d) organic filler preferably comprises at least one organic polymer filler.

[0185] The organic polymer fillers can be chosen from among the polysaccharides. Thus, in a preferred embodiment, the (d) organic filler is chosen from among the polysaccharide particles.

[0186] The polysaccharides can be selected from among plant-derived polysaccharides. In other words, it is preferable that the polysaccharide be of plant origin.

[0187] According to the present invention, the expression "plant-derived polysaccharides" refers in particular to polysaccharides obtained from the plant world (plants or algae), as opposed to polysaccharides obtained by biotechnology, as is the case, for example, for xanthan gum, which is produced in particular by fermentation of a bacterium, Xanthomonas campestris.

[0188] Examples of plant-derived polysaccharides that can be used according to the present invention include, in particular: a. Algae extracts, such as alginates, carrageenans, and agars, and mixtures thereof.

Modified or unmodified starches, such as those obtained, for example, from cereals, such as wheat, maize or rice, from legumes, such as blond peas, from tubers, such as potatoes or cassava, and tapioca starches; dextrins, such as maize dextrins; examples that may be cited include Remy DR I® rice starch sold by the Remy company; Roquette B® maize starch; potato starch modified with 2-chloroethylaminodipropionic acid neutralized with sodium hydroxide, sold under the name Structure Solanace® by the National Starch company; native tapioca starch powder sold under the name Tapioca Pure® by the National Starch company; d. dextrins, such as dextrin extracted from maize under the name Index® from the company National Starch; e. cyclodextrins, such as alpha-, beta- and gamma-cyclodextrins, and their derivatives, and their combinations; f. celluloses and their derivatives, and

[0189] their mixtures.

[0190] Starch may include all starches derived from any native source, any of which may be suitable for use herein. A native starch, as used herein, is a starch found in nature. Starches derived from a plant obtained by standard breeding techniques, including crossing, translocation, inversion, transformation, or any other genetic or chromosomal engineering process, to include their variations, are also suitable. In addition, starches derived from a cultivated plant from artificial mutations and variations of the above generic starches that can be produced by known standard processes of mutation breeding are also suitable herein.

[0191] Typical sources of starch are cereals, tubers, roots, pulses, and fruits. The native source may be waxy varieties of maize, peas, potato, sweet potato, banana, barley, wheat, rice, oats, sago, amaranth, tapioca (cassava), arrowroot, canna, and sorghum, and their low- and high-amylose varieties. As used herein, the term "low-amylose starch" is intended to include starch containing not more than about 10%, in particular not more than 5%, and more particularly not more than 2% by weight of amylose. As used herein, the term "high-amylose starch" is intended to include starch containing at least about 50%, in particular at least approximately 70%, and more specifically at least approximately 80% amylose by weight. Starches with a high amylose content may be preferable.

[0192] Preferably, the starch is chosen from maize starch (zea mays).

[0193] The term “cyclodextrin derivatives” here refers to molecules in which at least some of the hydroxyl groups OH have been transformed into OR groups, where R generally denotes an alkyl group. Cyclodextrin derivatives include, in particular, methylated and ethylated cyclodextrins, but also those substituted with a hydroxyalkyl group, such as hydroxypropylated and hydroxyethylated cyclodextrins.

[0194] The cellulose derivative may be selected from cellulose esters and ethers. It is stated that the term "cellulose ester" refers, in the text above and below, to a polymer consisting of an α(1-4) sequence of partially or fully esterified anhydroglucose rings, the esterification being achieved by the reaction of all or part of the free hydroxyl groups of said anhydroglucose rings with a linear or branched carboxylic acid or carboxylic acid derivative (acid chloride or acid anhydride) containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Advantageously, the cellulose esters are selected from cellulose acetates, propionates, butyrates, isobutyrates, acetobutyrates, and acetopropionates and mixtures thereof.

[0204] Oil

[0205] The composition according to the present invention may or may not comprise at least one oil. If two or more oils are used, they may be identical or different.

[0206] The oil is different from the lipophilic organic UV filter as explained above.

[0207] Here, "oil" means a fatty compound or oily substance that is in the form of a liquid or a paste (not a solid) at room temperature (25 °C) under atmospheric pressure (760 mmHg). Oils commonly used in cosmetics can be used alone or in combination. These oils can be volatile or non-volatile.

[0208] The oil may be a non-polar oil such as a hydrocarbon oil, a silicone oil or the like; a polar oil such as a vegetable or animal oil and an ester oil or an ether oil; or a mixture thereof.

[0209] The oil may be chosen from the group consisting of oils of vegetable or animal origin, synthetic oils, silicone oils, hydrocarbon oils and fatty alcohols.

[0210] Examples of vegetable oils include linseed oil, camellia oil, macadamia nut oil, corn oil, mink oil, olive oil, avocado oil, sasanqua oil, castor oil, safflower oil, jojoba oil, sunflower oil, almond oil, rapeseed oil, sesame oil, soybean oil, peanut oil and mixtures thereof.

[0218] As ester oils, esters and diesters of sugars of C6-C3O fatty acids and, preferably, of C2-C22-H fatty acids may be used. It is recalled that the term "sugar" refers to compounds based on oxygen-bearing hydrocarbons containing several alcohol functional groups, with or without aldehyde or ketone functional groups, and comprising at least 4 carbon atoms. These sugars may be monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, or polysaccharides.

[0219] Examples of suitable sugars that may be cited include sucrose, glucose, galactose, ribose, fucose, maltose, fructose, mannose, arabinose, xylose and lactose, and their derivatives, including alkyl derivatives, such as methyl derivatives, for example methylglucose.

[0220] Sugar esters of fatty acids may be selected in particular from the group comprising the esters or mixtures of sugar esters described above and fatty acids in the range of C6-C30, and preferably in the range of C12-C22, linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated. If unsaturated, these compounds may have one to three conjugated or non-conjugated carbon-carbon double bonds.

[0221] The esters according to this variant can also be selected from monoesters, diesters, triesters, tetraesters and polyesters, and mixtures thereof.

[0228] Preferably, the silicone oil is selected from liquid polydialkylsiloxanes, in particular liquid polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) and liquid polyorganosiloxanes comprising at least one aryl group.

[0229] These silicone oils can also be organomodified. The organomodified silicones that can be used for the present invention are silicone oils as defined above, and comprise in their structure one or more organofunctional groups attached via a hydrocarbon-based group.

[0230] Organopolysiloxanes are defined in more detail in Chemistry and Technology of Silicones by Walter Noll (1968), Academy Press. They can be volatile or non-volatile.

[0231] When volatile, silicones are particularly chosen from those having a boiling point between 60 °C and 260 °C, and even more particularly from:

[0232] (i) cyclic polydialkylsiloxanes comprising 3 to 7 and preferably 4 with 5 silicon atoms. Examples include octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, marketed in particular under the name Volatile Silicone® 7207 by Union Carbide or Silbione® 70045 V2 by Rhodia; decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, marketed under the name Volatile Silicone® 7158 by Union Carbide and Silbione® 70045 V5 by Rhodia; and dodecamethylcyclopentasiloxane, marketed under the name Silsoft 1217 by Momentive Performance Materials, and their mixtures. Also noteworthy are cyclocopolymers such as dimethylsiloxane / methylalkylsiloxane, such as Silicone Volatile® FZ 3109, marketed by Union Carbide, with the formula:

[0233] Other examples include mixtures of cyclic polydialkylsiloxanes with organosilicon compounds, such as the mixture of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane and tetratrimethylsilylpentaerythritol (50 / 50) and the mixture of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane and oxy-1,r-bis(2,2,2',2',3,3'-hexatrimethylsilyloxy)neopentane; and

[0234] (ii) Linear volatile polydialkylsiloxanes containing 2 to 9 silicon atoms and having a viscosity less than or equal to 5 x 10⁶ m² / s at 25 °C. An example is decamethyltetrasiloxane, marketed in particular under the name SH 200 by Toray Silicone. Silicones belonging to this category are also described in the article published in Cosmetics and Toiletries, Vol. 91, Jan. 76, pp. 27–32, Todd & Byers, Volatile Silicone Fluids for Cosmetics. The viscosity of silicones is measured at 25 °C according to ASTM 445 Annex C.

[0235] Non-volatile polydialkylsiloxanes can also be used. These non-volatile silicones are more particularly chosen from among the polydialkylsiloxanes, among which the main examples are polydimethylsiloxanes containing trimethylsilyl terminal groups.

[0236] Among these polydialkylsiloxanes, the following commercial products may be cited, without limitation: • Silbione® oils from the 47 and 70 047 ranges or Mirasil® oils marketed by Rhodia, for example oil 70 047 V 500 000; • the oils from the Mirasil® range marketed by the company Rhodia; • Dow Corning's 200 series oils, such as DC200 with a viscosity of 60,000 mm² / s and • Viscasil® oils from General Electric and certain oils from the SF range (SF 96, SF 18) from General Electric.

[0237] We can also mention polydimethylsiloxanes containing dimethylsilanol terminal groups known as dimethiconol (CTFA), such as the oils in the 48 range from the Rhodia company.

[0238] Among silicones containing aryl groups, we can mention polydiarylsiloxanes, in particular polydiphenylsiloxanes and polyalkylarylsiloxanes such as phenyl silicone oil.

[0239] The phenyl silicone oil may be selected from the phenyl silicones of the following formula:

[0240] in which • Ri in Rio are, independently of each other, C1-C30 hydrocarbon-based radicals, preferably C1-C12 hydrocarbon-based radicals, and more preferably C1-C6 hydrocarbon-based radicals, saturated or unsaturated, linear, cyclic or branched, in particular methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl radicals, and • m, n, p and q are, independently of each other, integers from 0 to 900 inclusive, preferably from 0 to 500 inclusive, and more preferably from 0 to 100 inclusive, • provided that the sum n+m+q is different from 0.

[0241] Examples that may be cited include products sold under the following names: • Silbione® oils from the 70 641 range by Rhodia; • the oils from the Rhodorsil® 70 633 and 763 ranges from Rhodia; • Dow Corning 556 Cosmetic Grade Fluid oil from Dow Corning; • silicones from Bayer's PK range, such as the PK20 product; • certain oils in General Electric's SF range, such as SF 1023, SF 1154, SF 1250 and SF 1265.

[0242] As a phenyl silicone oil, phenyl trimethicone (Ri to R10 are a methyl; p, qetn = 0; m=l in the formula above) is preferable.

[0243] Hydrocarbon oils may be selected from: • Linear or branched C5-C19 alkanes, optionally cyclic, such as a C15-C19 alkane. Examples that can be mentioned include hexane, undecane, dodecane, tridecane, and isoparaffins, for example isohexadecane, isododecane, and isodecane; and • linear or branched hydrocarbons containing more than 16 carbon atoms, such as liquid paraffins, liquid petroleum jelly, hydrogenated polydecenes and polyisobutenes such as Parleam® and squalane.

[0244] Preferred examples of hydrocarbon oils include, for example, linear or branched hydrocarbons such as isohexadecane, isododecane, squalane, mineral oil (e.g., liquid paraffin), paraffin, Vaseline or petrolatum, naphthalenes, and the like; hydrogenated polyisobutene, isoeicosane and decene / butene copolymer; and mixtures thereof.

[0245] The term "fatty" in fatty alcohol means the inclusion of a relatively large number of carbon atoms. Thus, alcohols that have 4 or more carbon atoms, preferably 6 or more, and more preferably 12 or more, are encompassed within the scope of fatty alcohols. Fatty alcohols can be saturated or unsaturated. Fatty alcohols can be linear or branched.

[0246] The fatty alcohol may have the structure R-OH in which R is selected from saturated and unsaturated, linear and branched radicals containing from 4 to 40 carbon atoms, preferably from 6 to 30 carbon atoms, and more preferably from 12 to 20 carbon atoms. In at least one embodiment, R may be selected from C12-C20 alkyl and C12-C20 alkenyl groups. R may or may not be substituted by at least one hydroxyl group.

[0247] Examples of fatty alcohols include lauryl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, isostearyl alcohol, behenyl alcohol, undecylenyl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, octyldodecanol, hexyldecanol, oleyl alcohol, linoleyl alcohol, palmitoleyl alcohol, arachidonylic alcohol, erucyl alcohol and mixtures thereof.

[0248] It is preferable that the fatty alcohol be a saturated fatty alcohol.

[0249] Thus, the fatty alcohol can be chosen from saturated or unsaturated C6-C30 alcohols, linear or branched, preferably from saturated C6-C3o alcohols, linear or branched, and more preferably from saturated Ci2-C2o alcohols, linear or branched.

[0250] The term "saturated fatty alcohol" here refers to an alcohol having a long, saturated aliphatic carbon chain. Preferably, the saturated fatty alcohol should be selected from any saturated C6-C30 fatty alcohols, linear or branched. Among saturated C6-C30 fatty alcohols, linear or branched, saturated C2-C20 fatty alcohols, linear or branched, may preferably be used. Any saturated C6-C20 fatty alcohols, linear or branched, may be used more preferably. Branched C6-C20 fatty alcohols may be used even more preferably.
