Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a pigment cosmetic composition capable of forming a multi-layer structure after application to a keratinous material. Such a composition allows the advantages associated with multi-layer cosmetics without the need for a multi-step application process. [Background technology]

[0002] Many cosmetic compositions, including pigmented cosmetics such as lipsticks, foundations, eyeshadows, etc., are formulated to have long wear upon application. Unfortunately, many of these compositions generally do not provide both good application, good comfort, and / or good appearance (e.g., gloss or matte) and good long wear / transfer resistance.

[0003] For example, with regard to lip products, commercial products containing silicone resins such as MQ resins are known. Such products are known to provide good long wear and / or transfer resistance. However, such products have poor application properties, such as a poor feel upon application (e.g., a gritty feel), and also have poor gloss or shine (e.g., a matte appearance) due to the film formed by the MQ resin. Therefore, to make the product acceptable to consumers, such products are separately applied with a second composition (topcoat) to improve the poor properties of the composition. Furthermore, the topcoat composition must be continually reapplied for the product to be acceptable to consumers, meaning that the product is not effectively "long-lasting" as it requires constant maintenance and reapplication.

[0004] Also, with regard to foundations, such products can provide good long wear and / or transfer resistance, however such long wear / transfer resistant products may have poor application and / or feel upon application, and may also have poor mattification.

[0005] Thus, there remains a need for improved "single-step" cosmetic compositions that have improved cosmetic properties, particularly good wear, feel, gloss, shine and / or mattness, while still being a stable formulation. Summary of the Invention

[0015] It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0016] As used herein, the phrase "at least one" means one or more and thus includes both individual components as well as mixtures / combinations.

[0017] In the examples, or unless otherwise specified, all numbers expressing quantities of ingredients and / or reaction conditions shall always be understood to be modified by the term "about" to mean within 10% to 15% of the stated numerical value.

[0018] As used herein, "film former" or "film former" means a polymer or resin that leaves a film on the substrate to which it is applied.

[0019] As used herein, "polymer" means a compound composed of at least two monomers.

[0020] "Substituted" as used herein means containing at least one substituent.Non-limiting examples of the substituent include atoms such as oxygen and nitrogen atoms, and functional groups such as hydroxyl, ether, alkoxy, acyloxyalkyl, oxyalkylene, polyoxyalkylene, carboxylic acid, amine, acylamino, amide, halogen-containing, ester, thiol, sulfonate, thiosulfate, siloxane, hydroxyalkyl, and polysiloxane.Substituents may be further substituted.

[0021] As used herein, "volatile" means having a flash point below about 100°C.

[0022] As used herein, "non-volatile" means having a flash point above about 100°C.

[0023] By "anhydrous" is meant that the composition contains less than 1% water. Preferably, the compositions of the present invention contain less than 0.5% water, and most preferably are free of water.

[0024] "Transfer resistance" as used herein refers to the quality exhibited by a composition that is not easily removed by contact with another material, such as, for example, a glass, clothing, or skin, for example, when eating or drinking. Transfer resistance can be evaluated by any method known in the art for evaluating such. The transfer resistance of a composition can be evaluated, for example, by the "kiss" test. The "kiss" test involves applying the composition to a human keratinous material, such as hair, skin, or lips, and rubbing a material, such as, for example, a sheet of paper, against the hair, skin, or lips after a period of time, such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15 minutes after application. Similarly, the transfer resistance of a composition is evaluated by the amount of product transferred from the wearer to any other substrate, such as, for example, from the individual's lips to the collar when wearing clothing after a period of time has elapsed since application of the composition to the hair, skin, or lips. The amount of composition transferred to the substrate (e.g., collar or paper) can then be evaluated and compared. A composition is transfer-resistant, for example, if the majority of the product remains on the wearer's hair, skin, or lips. Moreover, the amount transferred can be compared to the amount transferred by other compositions, such as commercially available compositions. In preferred embodiments of the present invention, little or no composition is transferred from the hair, skin, or lips to the substrate.

[0025] "Adhesion" as used herein refers to the quality exhibited by a composition that adheres to a substrate after application. Adhesion can be evaluated by any method known in the art for evaluating it. For example, samples to test for adhesion may be placed on the surface of a Bioskin substrate or Byko-Charts Black Scrub Panels P122-10N (6.50x17.00 inches). After drying, an ASTM cross-hatch tape (Permacel 99 / PA-28060 / 51596) is placed on the sample and removed at a 180° angle. It can then be measured how much of the sample adheres to the tape. For example, a rating scale such as a scale of 1-3 can be used to evaluate the degree of removal of the sample from the substrate to the tape, where 1 is essentially no removal, 2 is some removal, and 3 is essentially complete removal.

[0026] The term rub-off resistance as used herein refers to physical abrasion, such as rubbing human skin with the hand or clothing or other physical interaction, and can also refer to the ability to retain an active ingredient on the skin or to resist removal of the active ingredient by abrasion from a substrate or skin, such as Byko-Charts Black Scrub Panel P122-10N (6.50x17.00 inches) or Bioskin.

[0027] As used herein, a "long-wear" composition refers to a composition that remains the same or substantially the same after an extended period of time to the naked eye as when applied. Long-wear can be evaluated by any method known in the art for evaluating such characteristics. For example, long-wear can be evaluated by a test that includes applying a composition to skin and evaluating the color of the composition after an extended period of time. For example, the color of the composition may be evaluated immediately after application to skin and then reevaluated and compared after a period of time. Long-wear can also be evaluated for other compositions, such as commercially available compositions. Alternatively, or in addition, long-wear can be evaluated by utilizing a sample, drying it, and then wearing the sample to measure the removal / weight loss of the sample.

[0028] The cosmetic compositions and methods of the present invention comprise, consist of, or consist essentially of the essential elements and limitations of the present invention as described herein, as well as additional or optional ingredients, components, or limitations as described herein or otherwise useful in personal care.

[0029] Composition capable of forming a multi-layer structure According to various embodiments of the present invention, a cosmetic composition is provided that can form a layer structure after application to keratinous material.Such a composition allows the benefits associated with multi-layer cosmetics without performing a multi-step application process.In one or more embodiments, such a composition is suitable as lipstick, lip gloss, foundation, eye shadow and other skin compositions.

[0030] According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, the cosmetic composition of the present invention comprises at least two components, hereinafter referred to as "Component A" and "Component B". In one or more embodiments, both Component A and Component B comprise a silicone. Component A can comprise, for example, a silicone-containing film former. Component B can comprise, for example, a silicone gum. In some embodiments, Component A comprises a hydrocarbon film former and Component B comprises a silicone compound. Again, Component B can comprise, for example, a silicone gum. In one or more embodiments, Component A can comprise both a silicone-containing film former and a hydrocarbon-containing film former.

[0031] Component A is the component of the composition of the present invention that forms the layer of the multi-layer structure closest to the keratinous material after application of the composition of the present invention to the keratinous material. Hereinafter, this layer of the multi-layer structure is referred to as "layer A". According to a preferred embodiment, component A / layer A has an affinity for the surface of the keratinous material due to the surface energy characteristics between the two.

[0032] Component B is the component of the composition of the present invention that forms the multi-layer structure that is the furthest from the keratinous material after application of the composition of the present invention to the keratinous material. Hereinafter, this layer of the multi-layer structure is referred to as "layer B". According to a preferred embodiment, component B / layer B has an affinity for the air interface due to the surface energy characteristics between the two.

[0033] In accordance with the present invention, all weights and ratios given herein for Components A and B refer to the amount of active (i.e., non-volatile) material in these components. Similarly, all weights and ratios given herein for Layers A and B refer to the amount of active as Layers A and B are present after evaporation of the volatile solvent.

[0034] Prior to application to keratinous materials, in the composition of the present invention, components A and B are immiscible. Preferably, the immiscibility of these immiscible components is due to incompatibility between these two components when the composition is in a resting state, incompatibility between these two components after application to keratinous materials, or both.

[0035] In one or more embodiments, the immiscibility of these immiscible components is due to differences, such as differences in viscosity, glass transition temperature, interfacial tension, solubility parameters, density, and / or chemical / structural incompatibility of the components, and (C) / or differences induced by temperature and / or pressure.

[0036] For example, the immiscibility of these immiscible components when the composition is at rest can be due to, for example, chemical / structural incompatibility, differences in interfacial tensions between the components, e.g., differences in interfacial tensions between phases within a compatible solvent(s), differences in viscosity, differences in glass transition temperatures of polymers within each phase, and / or differences induced by temperature and / or pressure.

[0037] For example, the immiscibility of these immiscible components when the composition is applied may be due to, for example, chemical / structural incompatibility, differences in interfacial tensions between the components, differences in density of the components after solvent evaporation, and / or differences induced by temperature and / or pressure.

[0038] In one or more embodiments, the compositions of the present invention are mixed or blended immediately prior to and / or during application to the keratinous material such that components A and B are temporarily miscible when the compositions of the present invention are applied to the keratinous material.

[0039] When the composition of the present invention is applied to a keratinous material, Component A separates from Component B. When the composition dries on the applied keratinous material, the immiscible Components A and B form a multi-layer structure, for example comprising Layer A and Layer B, respectively, on the keratinous material, such as, for example, TIFF2025013816000001.tif50170

[0040] According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, after the composition of the present invention is applied to a keratinous material, component B results in a layer B that is level, i.e., layer B is a flat surface that may have refractive properties that impart gloss to the composition. According to these embodiments, component B has self-leveling properties, i.e., it results in a level layer B after application. If desired, the gloss of such compositions can be enhanced by adding one or more gloss or shine enhancing agents that have high refractive index properties. Alternatively, such compositions are given matte properties by adding one or more mattifying agents.

[0041] According to preferred embodiments of the present invention, after the composition of the present invention is applied to a keratinous material, component B results in a non-level layer B, i.e., layer B is not planar, which imparts mattness to the composition. According to these embodiments, component B does not have self-leveling properties, i.e., it results in a non-level layer B after application. If desired, the mattness of such compositions can be enhanced by the addition of one or more mattifying agents. Alternatively, such compositions are imparted with gloss / brightness by the addition of one or more gloss or shine enhancing agents with high refractive index properties. Another advantage of the present compositions is that when used as a base layer / primer, the self-leveling properties of the present compositions can provide a smooth surface, thereby reducing skin imperfections.

[0042] According to the present invention, the multi-layer structure includes Layer A and Layer B. In certain instances, depending on factors such as ingredient ratios, ingredient concentrations, solvent volatility, and polymer Tg, the layers may slightly mix with each other after application to the keratinous material, resulting in Layer A having more A and less B, and / or Layer B having more B and less A. Preferably, Layer A includes less than 40% Layer B, preferably less than 30% Layer B, preferably less than 20% Layer B, preferably less than 10% Layer B, preferably less than 5% Layer B, including all ranges and subranges therebetween. Similarly, preferably, Layer B includes less than 40% Layer A, preferably less than 30% Layer A, preferably less than 20% Layer A, preferably less than 10% Layer B, preferably less than 5% Layer A, including all ranges and subranges therebetween.

[0043] Factors influencing the separation of Components A and B after application to a keratinous material may include the properties described above, including, but not limited to, the surface energy of the substrate, the density of each component, the volatility of the solvent, the Tg of the film former, and / or the viscosity of the film former.

[0044] Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, it is believed that component A has surface energy characteristics that are closer to those of the keratinous material to which it is applied than component B. For example, the surface energy of skin is estimated to be 36 mN / m. Thus, it is believed that component A can migrate to the skin if it has a surface energy of about 36 mN / m. Component B preferably has a lower surface energy, thereby increasing the likelihood of migration toward the air interface.

[0045] While not wishing to be bound by any particular theory, it is believed that the interfacial tension between components A and B influences phase separation, particularly the rate at which components A and B separate after application. It is believed that such phase separation may be influenced by differences as discussed above, such as differences in temperature between components A and B, differences in Tg between components A and B (the higher the Tg, the longer it takes for the components to phase separate), differences in weight fractions of film formers, and / or differences in pressure between components A and B.

[0046] These differences are discussed further below.

[0047] Glass transition temperature (Tg) According to a preferred embodiment, component A and / or component B comprises at least one silicone and / or hydrocarbon-containing film former having at least one glass transition temperature below 60°C, preferably below 55°C, preferably below 50°C, preferably below normal human body temperature (98.6°F or 37°C). Preferably, component A and / or component B comprises at least one silicone and / or hydrocarbon-containing film former whose glass transition temperature(s) are all below normal human body temperature (98.6°F or 37°C). As known in the art, plasticizers can be added to adjust the Tg of the film former. According to a preferred embodiment, both layer A and layer B comprise at least one former having a glass transition temperature below 37°C.

[0048] A preferred method for measuring the Tg is to remove all volatile solvent from the layer and measure the Tg by differential scanning calorimetry.

[0049] density According to a preferred embodiment, component A and component B have different density properties, the difference being such that component A and component B are immiscible in the composition of the present invention. Preferably, component A / layer A and component B / layer B have a density difference of 0.001-1 kg / m3, preferably 0.005-0.8 kg / m3, preferably 0.01-0.6 kg / m3.

[0050] temperature According to a preferred embodiment, components A and B are affected by temperature, and this effect is different from an emulsion that is considered to be stable under such conditions for a predetermined time at a temperature of 50°C or lower, as is known in the art, to the extent that components A and B are immiscible in the composition of the present invention.

[0051] Weight fraction According to a preferred embodiment, component A and / or component B comprises at least one polymer such as a film-forming agent having a critical molecular weight (Mc) of entanglement, for example, as follows.

[0052] When at least one polymer is present in component A, Mc < wMw, where w is the weight fraction of the polymer and Mw is the molecular weight of the polymer.

[0053] Also, when present in component B, at least one polymer has Mc ≦ wMw ≦ 108 g / mol.

[0054] Furthermore, according to a preferred embodiment, the viscosity of at least one polymer in component B exceeds 350 cSt, preferably exceeds 500 cSt, preferably exceeds 50 cSt, preferably exceeds 1000 cSt (including all ranges and sub-ranges therebetween).

[0055] Raw material

[0056] Components A and B may differ in various ways, primarily based on the different functionalities associated with Layer A and Layer B. For example, if Layer A serves a transfer-resistance or adhesion function, the ingredients of Component A may be selected to provide transfer-resistance or adhesion. Similarly, if Layer A serves a color-enhancing function, at least one colorant may be added to Component A. Also, for example, if Layer B serves a gloss-enhancing function and / or provides a better feel (e.g., a more comfortable feel) and / or provides a barrier layer that inhibits color transfer, the ingredients of Component B may be selected to effectively provide shine, gloss, comfort, and / or via layer properties. However, it should be understood that at the interface between Layer A and Layer B, the interface of Layer A may have properties more associated with Layer B (e.g., gloss), while Layer B may have properties more associated with Layer A (e.g., adhesion).

[0057] According to a preferred embodiment, component A comprises at least one silicone- and / or hydrocarbon-containing film former, at least one colorant, or both, and layer A provides adhesion, transfer resistance, and / or color properties to the multi-layer structure. According to such an embodiment, component B may comprise at least one gloss enhancer, at least one comfort agent, and / or at least one barrier agent, and layer B provides gloss, comfort, and / or barrier properties to the multi-layer structure.

[0058] In some embodiments, the compositions contain less than about 1%, less than 0.5%, or no fluoride.

[0059] According to a preferred embodiment, the composition of the invention contains less than 0.5% waxes and / or less than 0.5% fluorinated materials.

[0060] According to a preferred embodiment, the composition of the invention is free of waxes and / or fluorinated materials.

[0061] According to a preferred embodiment, at least one identical solvent is used in component A and component B. Preferably, the majority of the total solvent present in each component is the same in each component.

[0062] According to preferred embodiments, the weight ratio of Component A to Component B is from 1:50 to 1.5:1, from 1:75 to 1.5:1, from 1:50 to 1.5:1, or from 1:20 to 1.5:1 (including all ranges and subranges therebetween).

[0080] Silicone-containing film formers The composition of the present invention may include at least one silicone-containing film former. As used herein, "silicone-containing film former" refers to a film former that contains silicone. In one or more embodiments, "silicone-containing film former" includes a polymer that contains at least about 2.5%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95% or 99% silicone by weight. Silicone-containing film formers are known in the art, and any silicone-containing film former may be used. According to a preferred embodiment, the composition of the present invention includes at least one silicone-containing film former that has at least one glass transition temperature that is less than 60°C, preferably less than 55°C, preferably less than 50°C, and preferably less than human normal body temperature (98.6°F). Preferably, the at least one silicone-containing film former has all of its glass transition temperatures that are less than 60°C, preferably less than 55°C, preferably less than 50°C, and preferably less than human normal body temperature (98.6°F). The Tg characteristic of the at least one silicone-containing film former can be obtained from various methods known in the art, such as, for example, the Tg of the silicone-containing film former itself, a combination of different film formers to obtain a Tg below the human body temperature, or a combination of a film former(s) with a plasticizer(s) to obtain a Tg below the human body temperature.

[0081] Acceptable types of silicone-containing film formers include silicone resins, silicone acrylate copolymers, vinylpyrrolidone (VP)-containing copolymers, polyurethanes, polyolefins, and mixtures thereof.

[0082] In one or more embodiments, the silicone-containing film former is selected from the group consisting of silicone resins, silicone acrylate copolymers, and mixtures thereof.

[0083] Silicone Resin As used herein, the term "resin" refers to a three-dimensional structure that is crosslinked or non-crosslinked. According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, component A comprises at least one silicone acrylate. The nomenclature of silicone resin is known in the art as "MDTQ" nomenclature, whereby silicone resin is described according to the siloxane units of the various monomers that make up the polymer.

[0084] Each letter in "MDTQ" represents a different type of unit. The letter M represents the monofunctional unit (CH3)3SiO1 / 2. This unit is considered monofunctional because the silicone atoms only share oxygen when this unit is part of a polymer. The "M" unit can be represented by the following structure: TIFF2025013816000002.tif26170

[0085] Replacing at least one of the methyl groups of the M unit with another group gives a unit of the formula [R(CH3)2]SiO1 / 2, for example represented by the following structure: TIFF2025013816000003.tif26170

[0086] In the above formula, R is selected from groups other than methyl groups, non-limiting examples of such groups other than methyl groups include alkyl groups other than methyl groups, alkene groups, alkyne groups, hydroxyl groups, thiol groups, ester groups, acid groups, and ether groups, where the groups other than methyl groups may be further substituted.

[0087] The symbol D represents a difunctional unit (CH3)2SiO2 / 2, where the two oxygen atoms attached to the silicone atom are used for attachment to the rest of the polymer. This unit "D" is the main component of dimethicone oil and is represented as follows: TIFF2025013816000004.tif29170

[0088] At least one of the methyl groups of the D unit may be replaced by another group, resulting in units of the formula [R(CH3)2]SiO1 / 2, for example.

[0089] The symbol T represents the (CH3)SiO3 / 2 trifunctional unit and is represented as follows: TIFF2025013816000005.tif33170

[0090] At least one of the methyl groups of the T unit may be replaced by another group, resulting in, for example, a unit of the formula [R(CH3)2]SiO1 / 2.

[0091] Finally, the letter Q denotes a tetrafunctional unit SiO4 / 2 in which a silicon atom is bonded to four hydrogen atoms which are attached to the rest of the polymer.

[0092] Thus, a large number of different silicone polymers can be produced. Moreover, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the properties of each potential silicone polymer will vary with the type of monomer, the type of substitution, the size of the polymer chain, the degree of crosslinking, and the size of any side chain(s).

[0093] Non-limiting examples of silicone polymers include siloxysilicates and silsesquioxanes.

[0094] A non-limiting example of a siloxysilicate is trimethylsiloxysilicate, which can be represented by the following formula: [(CH3)3XSiXO]xX(SiO4 / 2)y (That is, MQ unit) In the above formula, x and y can be, for example, in the range of 50 to 80. On the other hand, silsesquioxane can be represented by the following formula. (CH3SiO3 / 2).x (i.e., T units), where x can have a value, for example, up to several thousand.

[0095] Resin MQ available from Wacker, General Electric and Dow Corning is an example of an acceptable commercially available siloxysilicate.For example, trimethylsiloxysilicate (TMS) is commercially available from General Electric under the trade name SR1000 and from Wacker under the trade name TMS 803.TMS is also commercially available from Dow Chemical in solvents such as cyclomethicone.However, according to the present invention, TMS may be used in the form of 100% active substance, i.e., not in solvent.

[0096] Suitable silicone resins comprising at least one T unit according to the present invention are disclosed, for example, in U.S. Patent Application Publication Nos. 2007 / 0166271, 2011 / 0038820, 2011 / 0002869 and 2009 / 0214458, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0098] According to preferred embodiments, the unit composition of the silicone resin may be at least 50% T units, or at least 70% T units, or at least 80% T units, or at least 90% T units.

[0099] In the above-mentioned exemplary M, D and T units, at least one of the methyl groups may be substituted.

The T resin may also contain hydroxyl and / or alkoxy groups. The T resin may have a total weight of hydroxyl functional groups ranging from 2% to 10%, and a total weight of alkoxy functional groups that may be up to 20%. In some embodiments, the total weight of hydroxyl functional groups ranges from 4% to 8%, and the total weight of alkoxy functional groups may be up to 10%.

[0101] The silicone resin is selected from silsesquioxanes represented by the formula: ((CH3)SiO3 / 2)x, where x is up to several thousand and the CH3 groups can be replaced with R groups as previously described in the definition of the T unit. The number of T units, X, of the silsesquioxane can be up to 500, or can range from 50 to 500, including all ranges and subranges therebetween.

[0186] preparation A liquid lipstick formula was prepared containing the ingredients shown in Table 3 below. A mixture of pigment and oil (isododecane) was processed to create a pigment dispersion. This blend was processed using a Disconti Mill until the dispersion passed the Hegman Gauge Test (ASTM D1210-05). The dimethiconol and dimethicone were mixed at high shear until homogenous. The pigment dispersion, silicone mixture and remaining ingredients were then mixed with stirring at room temperature until a homogenous liquid composition was obtained. The composition was transferred to the desired container and / or applicator.

[0187] The pigments evaluated were as follows: · Traditional pigments NAI Pigments - Disodium Stearoyl Glutamate 3% (and) Aluminum Hydroxide 0.5% · AS Pigment - Acrylates / Dimethicone Copolymer (5%) · OTS Pigment - Triethoxycaprylylsilane (2%) / Triethoxycaprylylsilane (2%) Alumina (1.1%) and Silica (0.4%) TIFF2025013816000010.tif190170

[0188] Centrifugal separation test A centrifugation test was used to determine how stable the pigments were in the above formulations. Separation after centrifugation is an indication of instability and is generally undesirable. The above formulations were mixed by hand and 6 mL was transferred to a 15 mL plastic centrifuge tube. The samples were centrifuged at 2800G for 25 minutes (Themo Electron IEC C130 centrifuge). The samples were then evaluated for pigment separation. All pigments showed white and black sedimentation except for the triethoxycaprylsilane treated pigment.

[0189] Bulk visual evaluation The above formulations were allowed to stand. After 24 hours, the formulations were visually evaluated to assess shade uniformity. All pigments, except for the triethoxycaprylsilane treated pigment, had non-uniform shade in the bulk 24 hours after preparation.

[0190] As can be seen above, only the formulations containing the triethoxycaprylylsilane treated pigment were stable.
