Description

Title of the invention: Cosmetic composition comprising cationic surfactants, fatty esters and Camellia oleifera oils, and cosmetic processing method

[0001] The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition, particularly for hair, comprising one or more specific cationic surfactants, one or more specific esters, and at least one specific vegetable oil. The invention also relates to a cosmetic treatment method for keratinous materials, particularly hair, using said composition.

[0002] Hair can generally be damaged and weakened by the action of external atmospheric agents such as light and weather, as well as by mechanical or chemical treatments such as brushing, combing, dyeing, bleaching, perming and / or straightening, or even repeated washing.

[0003] Hair is thus damaged by these different factors and can eventually become dry, rough, brittle or dull, especially in fragile areas, and more particularly at the tips.

[0004] Thus, to remedy these drawbacks, it is common to use hair care compositions specifically designed to condition the hair by providing it with satisfactory cosmetic properties. These hair care compositions may be, for example, conditioners, masks, or serums, and may be in the form of gels, hair lotions, and conditioning creams of varying thicknesses.

[0005] It is also known to use conditioner-type compositions comprising solid fatty esters, camellia oil, and fatty amine-type cationic surfactants. However, these compositions can be further improved, particularly with regard to their cosmetic properties for the hair, by providing a high level of cosmetic benefits, notably improved smoothness and feel. Compositions that strengthen and / or repair hair, especially damaged hair, through more homogeneous coating of the hair fiber are also being sought.

[0006] Furthermore, the formulation of environmentally friendly cosmetic products, that is, products whose design and development take environmental issues into account, is becoming a major concern in order to help address global challenges. It is therefore essential to offer more sustainable compositions that can thus meet these environmental challenges. In this context, it is important to develop new cosmetic compositions. with a good carbon footprint, in particular by promoting the use of renewable raw materials and / or with a good index of naturalness and / or of natural origin and more particularly of plant origin, while reducing the use of petrochemical compounds.

[0007] There is therefore a real need to develop cosmetic compositions, particularly for hair, which are capable of giving hair, especially damaged hair, improved cosmetic properties.

[0008] The aim of the present invention is to propose a composition and a process for treating keratinous materials which provide a high level of cosmetic performance, particularly for damaged hair.

[0009] This objective is achieved with the present invention, which therefore relates in particular to a cosmetic composition, especially for hair, comprising:

[0010] - one or more cationic surfactants of the fatty amine type,

[0011] - one or more C15-C18 carboxylic acid and C1-C5 alcohol esters, and

[0012] - one or more Camellia oleifera oils,

[0013] in which the weight ratio between the total quantity of C15-C18 carboxylic acid ester(s) and C1-C5 alcohol and the total quantity of Camellia oleifera oil(s) is greater than or equal to 1.

[0014] Thanks to the use of this composition, a smooth feel of the hair is obtained, as well as a homogeneity of the coating and texture of the keratin fibers, from root to tip, on both dry and wet hair.

[0015] The hair appears more regular, and has a particularly homogeneous coating, an absence of roughness to the touch, the irregularities of the damaged scales are no longer perceptible to the touch; the smoothness of the hair is both visual and tactile, the hair therefore appears in fact to be repaired.

[0016] The composition according to the invention also provides a very good level of softening (or suppleness) to the hair fiber: the hair is more supple, less stiff; the hair has more movement, bounce, and appears more natural. This effect is particularly noticeable on dry hair, especially when the composition includes a fatty amine-type surfactant. The softening of the hair appears to be enhanced, particularly on wet hair: after application of the composition, the hair instantly becomes supple, fluid, and smooth under water.

[0017] The composition according to the invention therefore makes it possible to provide advantageous cosmetic properties to the hair, such as suppleness, softness, a smooth visual and tactile character, particularly on the most damaged hair.

[0212] Protocol:

[0213] Sensitized Caucasian hair strands (SA20) are cleaned by applying a standard shampoo (DOP chamomile), at a rate of 0.3 g per gram of strand. The strands are then rinsed with water for 15 seconds (flow rate: 300 L / h - temperature 35°C).

[0214] Composition Al or B1 is applied to the still-wet hair strands at a rate of 0.45 g per gram of strand. After a waiting period of 5 minutes, the The strand is rinsed with water for 10 seconds (flow rate: 300 L / h - temperature 35°C). The strand is then dried with a hairdryer.

[0215] The cosmetic performance of compositions Al and B1 is evaluated blindly on wet hair (before drying), then on dry hair, by 5 trained evaluators, and rated on a scale from 0 [not] to 10 [very], in increments of 0.5.

[0216] We are evaluating:

[0217] - on wet hair after rinsing: the "smooth touch" criterion;

[0218] - on dry hair after drying: the criteria "smooth feel" and "homogeneity of the coating.

[0219] Smoothness is assessed as follows: the strand of hair is slid between the fingers along its entire length, from root to tip. The more easily the hair slides without catching the fingers from root to tip, the smoother the feel.

[0220] The homogeneity of the coating is assessed as follows: the strand of hair is slid between the fingers along its entire length, evaluating the presence and quality of the coating deposit. The more homogeneous and smooth the deposit, the better the homogeneity of the coating.

[0221] The following results are obtained:

[0222] [Tables2] Performance Criteria Composition Al Composition Bl Smoothness on wet hair Scores: 8 / 8 / 8 / 8 / 7 Average: 7.8 Standard deviation: 0.4 Scores: 6 / 6 / 6 / 6 / 6 Average: 6 Standard deviation: 0 Smoothness on dry hair Scores: 8 / 8 / 9 / 7 / 8 Average: 8 Standard deviation: 0.7 Scores: 6 / 6 / 6 / 6 / 6 Average: 6 Standard deviation: 0 Homogeneity of coating on dry hair Scores: 9 / 9 / 8 / 7 / 9 Average: 8.4 Standard deviation: 0.8 Scores: 6 / 6 / 6 / 6 / 6 Average: 6 Standard deviation: 0

[0223] On wet and dry hair, composition Al provides superior cosmetic performance to that provided by composition Bl, in particular an improved smooth feel.

[0224] The Al composition according to the invention also provides a more even coating on dry hair.

[0225] The hair therefore appears more regular, rid of its surface roughness, hence the perception of a hair in better condition.

[0226] These results are statistically significant. Example 2

[0227] The composition according to the invention C is prepared from the ingredients indicated in the table below, the quantities of which are expressed as a percentage by weight of active material (AM).

[0228] [Tables3] C (invention) Cetearyl alcohol 6.5 Stearamidopropyl dimethylamine 3.5 Glycerin 2 Isopropyl palmitate 1.5 Cetyl esters 2 Camellia oleifera seed oil 0.2 Amodimethicone 0.2 Tartaric acid 0.8 Preservatives qs Water qsp 100

[0229] The composition can be used as a conventional rinse-out conditioner.

[0230] It is observed to provide good cosmetic performance to the hair, in particular a smooth feel, suppleness and softness.
