Description

Title of the invention: Cosmetic composition comprising a glycolipid, a hydroxyacetophenone, an anionic surfactant, an associative polymer, an amphoteric surfactant and a specific polysaccharide

[0001] The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising at least one glycolipid, at least one hydroxyacetophenone, at least one anionic surfactant different from the glycolipids, at least one specific amphoteric surfactant, at least one associative polymer, and at least one cationic non-associative polysaccharide different from the glycolipids. Technical field

[0002] For washing keratin materials, such as skin and hair, the use of detergent cosmetic compositions of the shampoo or shower gel type, or even cosmetic cleansers, essentially based on surfactants, is common. These compositions are generally applied to the keratin materials, preferably wet, and the foam generated by massage or friction with the hands or a washcloth allows, after rinsing with water, the elimination of the various dirt initially present on the hair or skin.

[0003] The most common cosmetic compositions for washing keratin materials often contain anionic surfactants of the sulfate type, which are very good detergent surfactants, but can prove to be not very respectful of the keratin materials to be washed, in particular by having a drying effect on said materials, or even by negatively impacting the conditioning of the hair or skin. Indeed, these surfactants can alter, over time, the cosmetic characteristics of the hair or skin, which leads to the need to also use conditioning agents such as cationic polymers, silicones or non-silicone oils. Sulfate surfactants can also cause tolerance problems in certain sensitive consumers, particularly at the level of the skin and / or eyes (tingling, tightness).

[0004] However, cosmetic washing compositions free from sulfate surfactants must generally comprise significant quantities of other surfactants, in order to obtain the desired abundance and quality of foam, but which can have an impact on the qualities of use of the shampoo and on the stability of the compositions during storage.

[0005] Thus, there is a need to have a composition exhibiting good stability over time, while making it possible to obtain excellent properties. cosmetics, particularly in terms of smoothness and coating of treated hair.

[0006] It has been surprisingly discovered that a particular cosmetic composition makes it possible to achieve the objectives set out above. Statement of the invention

[0007] The present invention therefore relates to a cosmetic composition comprising:

[0008] a) at least one glycolipid;

[0009] b) at least one hydroxyacetophenone;

[0010] c) at least one anionic surfactant different from glycolipids;

[0011] d) at least one amphoteric surfactant chosen from alkyl betaines, alkylamidoalkylbetaines and mixtures thereof;

[0012] e) at least one associative polymer; and

[0013] f) at least one cationic non-associative polysaccharide different from glycolipids.

[0014] The cosmetic composition according to the invention has good stability over time, in particular after two months of storage. In addition, thanks to the cosmetic composition according to the invention, excellent cosmetic properties are obtained, in particular in terms of smooth feel and coating.

[0015] The composition according to the invention also makes it possible to obtain optimal detergent and foaming properties without it being necessary to incorporate sulfated surfactants, in particular sulfated anionic surfactants.

[0016] The composition according to the invention also has good rheological properties, in particular a satisfactory viscosity without impacting the foaming and cosmetic properties.

[0017] The invention also relates to a cosmetic treatment process, preferably for cleaning and / or washing keratin fibers, in particular human keratin fibers such as hair, comprising the application to said keratin fibers of a composition according to the invention.

[0018] The invention also relates to the use of the above composition for the cosmetic treatment, preferably the cleaning and / or washing, of keratin fibers, in particular human keratin fibers such as hair.

[0312] (3) associative polymer sold by the company LUBRIZOL under the name CARBOPOL ULTREZ 20 POLYMER commercial. Evaluation of the stability of the compositions

[0313] The stability of compositions A1 and A2 was evaluated 24 hours after their formulation. The appearance, color, odor, pH and viscosity were evaluated.

[0314] Then, the compositions were poured into bottles and stored for 2 months at three different temperatures: 4°C, room temperature and 45°C.

[0315] The stability of the compositions was evaluated after 2 months of storage. The results are summarized in Table 3 below:

[0316] [Tables3] Compositions Al (invention) A2 (comparative) Stability before storage stable unstable Stability after 2 months of storage at 4°C stable unstable Stability after 2 months of storage at room temperature stable unstable Stability after 2 months of storage at 45°C stable unstable

[0317] It was observed that the comparative composition A2 was unstable only 24 hours after formulation, and therefore a fortiori unstable after 2 months of storage, whatever the temperature as indicated above.

[0318] Conversely, the composition Al according to the invention was stable after 24 hours and after 2 months of storage, whatever the temperature as indicated above.

[0319] Thus, the composition Al according to the invention has improved storage stability compared to the comparative composition A2. Example 2

[0320] Compositions B1 and B2 as described in Table 4 below were prepared.

[0321] [Tables4] Compositions B1 (invention) B2 (comparative) Hydroxypropyl guar chloride Hydroxypr opyltrimonium 0.60 0.60 Salicylic acid 0.20 0.20 Coco glucoside 3.1 3.1 Sclerotium gum 0.30 0.30 Tetrasodium glutamate diacetate 0.1 0.1 Preservative qs qs Glycerin 3.0 3.0 Niacinamide 5.0 5.0 Glycolipid (1)(compound a)) 1.35 1.35 p-hydroxyacetophenone (compound b)) 1.0 1.0 Sodium N-cocoyl N-methyltaurate(2) 3.0 3.0 Sodium chloride 1.1 1.1 Coconut acid 0.3 0.3 Cocamidopropyl betaine 2.3 2.3 Copolymer Acrylates / C10-C30 methacryla te crosspolymer (3) 0.6 - Carbomer - 0.6 Water Qsp 100 Qsp 100 Cosmetic performance

[0322] Each of compositions B1 and B2 was applied to locks of moderately sensitized hair, at a rate of 0.3 g of composition per gram of locks. The locks were then rinsed with water and dried.

[0323] Coating

[0324] The coating performance on dry hair strands as previously prepared was evaluated by 3 experts.

[0325] Performance was assessed in a blind test in which each of the 3 experts assigned a score in the range from 0 (no coating to the touch) to 5 (very present coating) to each of the hair strands.

[0326] To assess the coating property, the expert takes the wick between the thumb and index finger, and moves down from the top of the wick towards the tips and at the same time makes a slight oscillating movement with the thumb to feel the presence of any deposit and any transfer of product onto the fingers.

[0327] The results are collected in Table 5 below:

[0328] [Tables5] Compositions B1 (invention) B2 (comparative) Expert 1 3.0 2.0 Expert 2 3.0 2.0 Expert 3 3.0 2.0 Average 3.0 2.0 Standard deviation 0 0

[0329] It clearly appears that the locks of hair treated with composition B1 according to the invention have a more effective coating to the touch than that of the locks of hair treated with the comparative composition B2.

[0330] Smooth touch

[0331] The smooth feel performance on dry hair strands as previously prepared was evaluated by 3 experts.

[0332] Performance was assessed in a blind test in which each of the 3 experts assigned a score in the range of 0 (presence of a lot of roughness) to 5 (no roughness) to each of the hair strands.

[0333] To assess the smooth touch property, the expert takes the strand at the root and slides it between the fingers to the tips of the strand, the more uniform the touch sensation, the better the smoothness to the touch.

[0334] The results are collected in Table 6 below:

[0335] [Tableauxô] Compositions B1 (invention) B2 (comparative) Expert 1 3.0 2.0 Expert 2 3.0 2.0 Expert 3 3.0 2.0 Mean 3.0 2.0 Standard deviation 0 0

[0336] It clearly appears that the locks of hair treated with composition B1 according to the invention have an improved smooth feel compared to that of the locks of hair treated with comparative composition B2.
