Description

Title of the invention: GEL COMPOSITION FOR CLEANSING KERATINOUS MATTER AND ITS METHODS

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of cosmetics, in particular a gel composition for cleansing keratinous material, preferably from the skin. This disclosure also relates to a process for preparing the composition and its methods. CONTEXT OF THE INVENTION

[0002] To achieve clear, radiant skin, an optimized cleansing routine is always necessary. Delicate skin is very sensitive to harsh soaps and high-pH surfactants, which are very common in basic cleansers available on the market. Therefore, using such harsh cleansers can damage sensitive, acne-prone skin over time.

[0003] Although available cleansing products claim to be gentle and have a deep cleansing effect, they are loaded with components that dry out the skin. These components also lead to an unstable composition. Consequently, their storage stability and shelf life remain a concern. Maintaining their homogeneity throughout their lifespan is difficult.

[0004] The trend is now towards gel-based cleansing products. However, the drawback of these products is that they are generally lightweight and, consequently, do not effectively remove oil, makeup, sunscreens, and external aggressors such as pollutants and dust. Furthermore, these products lack the sensory or foaming sensation preferred by consumers in today's market.

[0005] Therefore, there is a need to develop a cleansing composition with a balanced combination of mild cleansing agents, which thoroughly purifies the skin without residual drying effect and which has the desired product texture and stability. Summary of the invention

[0006] The present disclosure relates to a composition, preferably a cosmetic composition, which is stable and unique compared to a conventional cosmetic composition, since the composition of the present invention comprises a combination of surfactants, fatty acids and a gelling agent.

[0007] In one aspect of this disclosure, a gel composition is proposed comprising: a) a combination of surfactants selected from a surfactant anionic, a nonionic surfactant or an amphoteric surfactant; b) at least two fatty acids; and c) a gelling agent, in which the anionic surfactant is an amino acid-based surfactant.

[0008] In another aspect of this disclosure, a cleaning product is proposed, comprising a composition including: a) a combination of surfactants selected from an anionic surfactant, a nonionic surfactant or an amphoteric surfactant; b) at least two fatty acids; and c) a gelling agent, wherein the anionic surfactant is an amino acid-based surfactant.

[0009] In yet another aspect of this disclosure, a method for cleaning a keratinous material is proposed, the method comprising the application of the composition comprising: a) a combination of surfactants selected from an anionic surfactant, a nonionic surfactant or an amphoteric surfactant; b) at least two fatty acids; and c) a gelling agent, in which the anionic surfactant is an amino acid-based surfactant, to the keratinous material to obtain foam and rinsing of the composition.

[0010] In yet another aspect of this disclosure, a method for treating acne on the skin is proposed, the method comprising the application of the composition comprising: a) a combination of surfactants selected from an anionic surfactant, a nonionic surfactant or an amphoteric surfactant; b) at least two fatty acids; and c) a gelling agent, in which the anionic surfactant is an amino acid-based surfactant, to the skin.

[0026] This disclosure relates to a gel composition, preferably a cleansing composition. Disclosed embodiments of this disclosure include a gel-based cleansing composition, a personal care product comprising the composition, and a method for treating a keratinous surface, such as skin. The various embodiments herein disclose a cleansing composition, in particular a transparent serum or gel-type cleansing composition comprising a combination of surfactants, fatty acids, and a gelling agent. The embodiments described in this disclosure propose a gentle, low-pH cleansing composition with no residual drying effect. The composition is suitable for all skin types, foams well, and remains stable and transparent over a wider range of time and temperature. In general, the majority of cleansing compositions available on the market are harsh, dry out the skin, suffer from stability issues at higher temperatures, and lack sufficient transparency. When such compositions are converted into a gel-based formula, consumers' sensory, foaming, and texture requirements are compromised.It has therefore become necessary to offer a multifunctional cosmetic cleansing composition that provides superior sensory and aesthetic properties for both single and repeated use, while simultaneously being gentle, transparent, and foaming, offering anti-acne benefits without any residual drying effect on the skin. Accordingly, this disclosure proposes a gel composition that balances both sensory and transparency properties, with a unique combination of fatty acids and specific surfactants. Composition.

[0027] The embodiments presented herein provide a gel-based composition for cleansing and treating a keratinous surface. The composition is highly foaming, with an improved foam profile (microbubbles), producing a rich and stable lather without residual dryness, providing balanced hydration, and allowing for gentle and easy rinsing of the keratinous surface. It can also control acne, even out skin tone, reduce acne marks, and give the skin a radiant glow. Moreover, the texture of the composition according to the embodiments presented herein is a gel type, offering easy spreading, a self-foaming product with optimal lather, suitable for use with minimal water. The composition according to the embodiments presented herein is soft, transparent, and stable even at higher temperatures for extended periods.

[0112] The gel-based cleansing composition C(l) and the comparative compositions CP(1) to CP(5) were prepared with all the ingredients in their corresponding % by weight, as shown in Table 1.

[0113] The process involved mixing the components given in Table 1 followed by continuous stirring, giving a transparent gel composition.

[0114] Composition Cl - Composition Cl (according to the invention) was prepared by mixing a combination of surfactants (1.55% by weight of sodium lauroyl sarcosinate (anionic surfactant), 1.00% by weight of cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, 0.30% by weight of cocobetaine (amphoteric surfactants) and 1.06% by weight of decyl glucoside (nonionic surfactant)) and a combination of fatty acids (6.00% by weight of lauric acid, 3.01% by weight of myristic acid, 0.59% by weight of palmitic acid and 0.11% by weight of stearic acid) as well as a gelling agent (hydroxypropylmethylcellulose). The composition includes other active agents and additives as defined in Table 1 below.

[0115] In particular, composition Cl was prepared by adding a gelling agent (hydroxypropylmethylcellulose) to water at 75 °C, allowing the gelling agent to swell, and then adding molten fatty acids (6.00 wt% lauric acid, 3.01 wt% myristic acid, 0.59 wt% palmitic acid, and 0.11 wt% stearic acid). Potassium hydroxide was added at 75 °C under vacuum to neutralize the acids. Salicylic acid, a chelating agent (tetrasodium glutamate diacetate), and glycerin were also added, and the mixture was allowed to cool.When the mixture had been cooled to 50 °C, the surfactants (1.55 wt% sodium lauroyl sarcosinate (anionic surfactant), 1.00 wt% cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, 0.30 wt% cocobetaine (amphoteric surfactants) and 1.06 wt% decyl glucoside (nonionic surfactant)) were added, and when the temperature dropped to 40 °C, the preservative was added. Niacinamide was then added at 30 °C. The emulsion was cooled and drained.

[0116] Similarly, comparative compositions CP(1) to CP(6) were prepared with all ingredients in their corresponding % by weight as shown in Table 1 below (includes variation of components relative to composition Cl).

[0118] The compositions prepared in Example 1 were analyzed to determine the scope of the prototype. Composition Cia exhibited a unique transparent foam similar to that of a soap wash. It demonstrated rapid foam formation with a high foam density. It displayed gentle yet deep cleansing behavior for acne and skin brightening, without leaving the skin feeling dry and tight. The facial cleanser containing Composition Cia gently purified acne-prone skin and the back without drying the skin. Thus, it was observed that the gel composition of the present application is suitable for all skin types, and that it is foaming, stable, and transparent.

[0119] Composition CP(1), in which the only fatty acid included was lauric acid, appeared as a thick cream and therefore the requirement for a transparent washing gel was not met. Composition CP(2), in which no fatty acids were The included composition resulted in a non-transparent, non-gelling aqueous liquid. Composition CP(3), which did not include the amino acid-based surfactant, produced a loose foam with a longer stabilization time. Composition CP(4), which lacked the gelling agent, remained non-gelling. Composition CP(5), which lacked the non-ionic surfactant, resulted in a non-transparent, non-gelling product, and composition CP(6), which lacked an active agent such as niacinamide, resulted in a formulation with no pH balance and exfoliation. Similarly, the absence of other components, such as salicylic acid, disrupted the pH, causing skin irritation.

[0120] From the above, it was observed that the composition Cl prepared according to the present disclosure exhibited the desired pH, stability, exfoliating property, foaming characteristics, and sensory aspects that could be attributed to the presence of essential ingredients, such as the combination of fatty acids and the combination of surfactants, as well as the gelling agent, in the desired weight percentages. Example 3 Temperature stability Protocol

[0121] The Cl composition as prepared in Example 1 was analyzed to determine its stability when stored at different temperatures. Experimental

[0122] Composition Cl was stored in a transparent bottle at 4°C, 25°C, 37°C and 45°C, for a period of two months (2M). Observations

[0123] It was found that the Cl composition was stable and transparent at 25 °C and 45 °C. However, the sample exposed to 4 °C showed turbidity / precipitation. At room temperature (37 °C), the composition remained transparent and in the form of a colorless gel. Results

[0124] Composition Cl showed stability at 2M under all conditions: 4°C, 25°C, 37°C, and 45°C. This stability could be extrapolated to 3 years, and therefore, composition Cl was found to have a longer shelf life. Example 4 Gloss control

[0125] The brightness control effect provided by compositions Cl, CP(1) and CP(2) was assessed using an instrumental test.

[0126] 17 healthy human volunteers with oily skin were recruited for the trial Instrumental measurements were used to assess the effects of shine control. Skin shine measurements were taken using a Lightcam before and after product application, under controlled conditions. Protocol

[0127] Cleansing products under test: 500 mg / half face of compositions Cl, CP(1) and CP(2) in conjugation with a commercial skin lightening and cleansing product (commercial product).

[0128] Lightcam measurement:

[0129] The volunteers were instructed to wash their face with water and allow it to acclimatize under standard conditions (temperature: 21 ± 1 °C; RH: 45 ± 5%) for 30 minutes.

[0130] The basic measurement T-0 was obtained on Lightcam, with the cheek and forehead as the appreciation area.

[0131] The product was applied in accordance with randomization using a standard protocol.

[0132] The volunteers were instructed to wait 10 minutes under standard conditions for the product to settle.

[0133] The T-imm measurement was obtained on Lightcam.

[0134] The volunteers were instructed to wait under standard conditions for the following 4 hours and subsequent measurements such as T-30 min, T-1h and T-2h were carried out. Results

[0135] The reduction in the gloss value compared to the baseline measurement T0 and the respective time point after application of the product is represented as value A. The A values ​​obtained for C(l), CP(1), CP(2) and the commercial product are summarized in Table 2.

[0136] [Tables2] Time point AT-imm AT-30 min AT-lh AT-2h AT-4h Cl -5.02 -4.90 -4.98 -4.54 -3.73 CP(1) -4.91 -4.73 -4.38 -4.24 -3.06 CP(2) -4.32 -4.31 -4.09 -4.06 -2.56 Commercial product -3.75 -3.36 -3.11 -2.67 -1.22

[0137] The cleaning compositions according to this disclosure, namely Cl, exhibited superior gloss effects as illustrated by their A values ​​-4.90, -4.54 and -3.73 at T-30 min, T-1h, T-2h and T-4h respectively. In addition, it was found that composition Cl exhibited lasting gloss effects compared to CP(1), CP(2) and the commercial product. Example 5 Deep pore cleansing capability

[0138] To understand the deep pore cleaning capacity performance of composition Cl, a deep pore cleaning capacity test was carried out. Protocol

[0139] Deep pore cleansing: an in vitro test was performed using the Dermascore Plus laboratory instrument. The % deep pore cleansing efficacy provided by the composition was determined using an in vitro assessment of the substrate. Bioskins (none 10A) were used, and 6 replicates were taken from each test sample. On each bioskin, 1.56 µg / cm² of sebollution was applied to a 2.2 cm diameter circular study area on the larger pore side of the bioskin by finger coating in a circular motion and left for 10 min to dry. The samples were then washed with a pretreatment cleanser (2 µg / cm², Water:Product = 2:1), 10 circular motions, rinsed under running water (fixed flow rate) for 10 s, and dried with Kim towels (5 times). Next, the baseline values ​​(T0) were recorded using the Dermascore instrument.The 6 bioskin samples were treated with Cl (7.59 qg Cl : 15.9 qg water), 30 circular motions, and rinsed under running water (fixed flow rate) for 30 seconds and dried with Kim towels (5 times). Finally, the post-treatment values ​​(Tl) were recorded using the Dermascore instrument. All images were analyzed using the Dermascore driver software, and the particle count data (simple) were used to calculate the % removal capacity / deep pore cleansing capability.

[0140] The results confirmed that composition Cl exhibited a deep pore cleansing capability of 97.43%. Consumer panel study

[0141] To understand acne problems, a panel study was conducted among men aged 18 to 35 with combination to oily skin. Consumers reported having mild to moderate skin problems.
