[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Application No. 17 / 731,791, filed April 28, 2022. This application also claims priority to French Application No. 2206830, filed July 5, 2022. All of the above applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

[0002] FIELD OF THEINVENTION The present invention relates to compositions, particularly setter compositions for cosmetics, comprising: (1) at least one polyphenol X containing at least two different phenolic groups; (2) at least one (poly)glycerol-treated and / or polyoxyalkylene-treated non-ionic compound Y; (3) a solvent system comprising: (i) at least about 10% by weight of water based on the total weight of the composition; and (ii) at least one C2-C5 monoalcohol in an amount effective to inhibit the formation of a precipitate of compound X and compound Y in the composition prior to application; and (4) at least one gelling agent, as well as methods, kits and sets comprising such compositions in a container or application. [Background technology]

[0003] Background discussion

[0003] At present, in the market for the care and makeup of keratin materials, there are numerous products that claim to withstand external factors such as water, sebum, mechanical friction, and to last all day (waterproof mascara, food-resistant lipstick, long-lasting foundation, etc.). Long-lasting products for the lips, eyelashes, eyebrows and face, which can be used at home, are mainly based on synthetic coating polymers containing organic solvents. As compositions for lip makeup and face makeup, compositions containing silicone resins as coating agents are known, for example compounds with the INCI name: trimethylsiloxysilicate or compounds with the INCI name: polypropylsilsesquioxane, or alternatively silicone acrylate copolymers such as products with the INCI name: acrylate / polytrimethylsiloxymethacrylate copolymer. Long-lasting makeup products for the eyelashes and / or eyebrows (mascara, eyeliner) use wax or film-forming polymer particles in aqueous suspension of the latex type (styrene / acrylate copolymer, etc.).

[0004]

[0004] In addition to these long-lasting products, the current trend is towards semi-permanent makeup. In particular, in recent years, traditional cosmetics have faced competition from the market for semi-permanent cosmetics in specialized salons. This can be seen in the areas of eye makeup (semi-permanent mascara, permanent eyelash makeup, eyelash extensions, etc.), eyebrows (semi-pigmentation known as microblading), complexion (freckles, moles, full face, glowing healthy complexion effect), and lips (semi-permanent tattoos). This new trend is driving consumers to seek longer-lasting makeup for more practical effects (no need to apply and remove makeup every day, a healthy complexion immediately upon waking in the morning, etc.).

[0005]

[0005] However, consumers are becoming more demanding with regard to cosmetic ingredients and are also seeking products that contain ingredients that are well tolerated, such as natural ingredients, that have little or no impact on the environment, and / or that are compatible with many packaging formats.

[0006]

[0006] The object of the present invention is to propose a composition that can provide excellent durability of the expected cosmetic effect, such as the color of the cosmetic on keratinous substances (skin, lips, nails, hair, eyelashes, eyebrows), extend the duration of the cosmetic composition on keratinous substances, and improve the durability of the cosmetic composition on keratinous substances and its resistance to external forces such as mechanical friction, water, sweat, sebum, oil, etc.

[0007]

[0007] Furthermore, the object of the present invention is to propose a composition which combines the durability of the expected cosmetic effect, in particular the colour of the make-up on keratinous materials, with a good level of comfort compared to conventional systems, in particular systems based on silicone resins.

[0008]

[0008] It has been reported that tannic acid is used in the composition. For example, the invention title of Chinese Patent No. 104971200 is "Tannic acid pH-stable hemorrhoid gel and preparation method thereof", and its purpose is to provide a tannic acid pH-stable hemorrhoid gel, which can still maintain pH=4.5-4.8 even when it contacts with weakly alkaline anal tissue and weakly alkaline stool, so that tannic acid and other raw materials can exert a synergistic effect and play an excellent role in astringent healing of hemorrhoids.

[0009]

[0009] In addition, China Patent No. 108175765 has an invention title of "acid-sensitive controlled-release anti-inflammatory gel as well as preparation method and application thereof", the purpose of which is to design a hyaluronic acid hydrogel structure according to the characteristics of pH decrease caused by the accumulation of inflammatory metabolites in the joint cavity, and to provide an acid-sensitive controlled-release anti-inflammatory gel produced by phenylboronic acid-modified hyaluronic acid and tannic acid under neutral to slightly alkaline conditions.

[0010]

[0010] U.S. Patent No. 8,377,853 (corresponding to China Patent No. 2649412) is entitled "Aqueous gels for well bore strengthening" and in the abstract states, "A method of treating a soil layer is disclosed, which may include injecting a gelling agent into the soil layer, injecting a cross-linking agent into the soil layer, and reacting the gelling agent with the cross-linking agent to form a gel. The gelling agent may include at least one of lignin, lignosulfonate, tannin, tannic acid, modified lignin, modified lignosulfonate, modified tannin, modified tannic acid, biopolymer, starch, carboxymethylcellulose, polyacrylate, polyacrylamide, polyamine, polyetheramine, polyvinylamine, polyethyleneimine, and combinations thereof." The crosslinking agent may include at least one of ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, propylene glycol diglycidyl ether, butylene glycol diglycidyl ether, sorbitol polyglycidyl ether, trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether, sorbitol polyglycidyl ether, diglycidyl ether of neopentyl glycol, epoxidized 1,6-hexanediol, aziridine derivatives, epoxy-functionalized polyalkalene glycols, oxidized starch, polymeric dialdehydes, aldehyde adducts, tetramethoxypropane, hydrolyzed acetals, and combinations thereof."

[0011]

[0011] In addition, the general stabilizing effect of compositions using various ingredients has also been reported, for example, Effect of Sodium Metabisulfite and Disodium Ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) on the Stability of Ascorbic Acid in Vitamin C Syrup (Researchers 2014;6(10)) reports the use of EDTA and sodium metabisulfite and additional ascorbic acid to improve the stability of vitamin C syrup.

[0012]

[0012] There remains a need for improved compositions, such as setter compositions, having improved properties with respect to ease and / or comfort of application of the composition, stability of the composition, and / or color stability of the composition, particularly with respect to properties associated with the presence of polyphenols such as tannic acid in the composition (including properties such as flow, viscosity, and / or texture of the composition).

[0013]

[0013] Thus, one aspect of the present invention is a composition, particularly a setter composition, having improved properties with respect to ease and / or comfort of application of the composition, stability of the composition, and / or color stability of the composition, particularly with respect to properties related to the presence of polyphenols such as tannic acid in the composition (including rheological properties such as flow, viscosity, texture, etc. of the composition).

[0019] It is to be understood that the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the invention.

[0020] In the following description of the invention and the appended claims, unless otherwise specified, the terms used are understood to have the ordinary and accustomed meanings within the art.

[0021]

[0021] As used in this specification, "about" means within 10% of the indicated numerical value (for example, "about 10%" means 9% to 11%, and "about 2%" means 1.8% to 2.2%).

[0022] As used herein, "a" or "an" means "at least one."

[0024]

[0024] All ranges used herein are meant to include every specific range within the stated range, and combinations of subranges within the stated range, so the range 1-5 specifically includes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, as well as subranges 2-5, 3-5, 2-3, 2-4, 1-4, etc.

[0025]

[0025] As used herein, "film former," "film-forming polymer," or "film former" means, for example, a polymer or resin that leaves a film on a substrate to which it is applied after any solvent associated with the film former has evaporated, absorbed, and / or dissipated on the substrate.

[0026]

[0026] In this specification, "wax" refers to a lipophilic fatty compound that is solid at room temperature (25°C), changes reversibly from solid to liquid, has a melting point of 30°C or higher, for example 45°C or higher, and has a hardness of 0.5 MPa or higher at room temperature.

[0027]

[0027] "Surfactant" and "emulsifier" are used interchangeably throughout this specification.

[0028]

[0028] In this specification, "substituted" means containing at least one substituent. Non-limiting examples of the substituent include atoms such as oxygen atoms and nitrogen atoms, and functional groups such as hydroxyl groups, ether groups, alkoxy groups, acyloxyalkyl groups, oxyalkylene groups, polyoxyalkylene groups, carboxylic acid groups, amine groups, acylamino groups, amide groups, halogen-containing groups, ester groups, thiol groups, sulfonic acid groups, thiosulfate groups, siloxane groups, and polysiloxane groups. The substituent may be further substituted.

[0029]

[0029] As used herein, "volatile" means having a flash point below about 100°C.

[0030]

[0030] As used herein, "non-volatile" means having a flash point greater than about 100°C.

[0031] As used herein, the term "polymer" refers to a compound comprised of at least two monomers.

[0032]

[0032] As used herein, "free" or "substantially free" or "devoid of" means that, although it is preferred that a particular component is completely absent from the composition, it is possible for that particular component to be present in the composition of the present invention in a very small amount, so long as it does not materially affect at least one, and preferably most, of the advantageous properties of the conditioning composition of the present invention. Thus, for example, "free of triethanolamine (TEA)" means that an effective amount (i.e., more than a trace amount) of TEA has been removed from the composition (i.e., about 0% by weight), "substantially free of TEA" means that TEA is present in 0.1% by weight or less, and "devoid of TEA" means that TEA is present in 0.25% by weight or less, based on the total weight of the composition. The same nomenclature applies throughout the application and to all other components identified in this paragraph, e.g., oil (references to "oil-free," "substantially oil-free," and "completely free of oil" compositions of the invention have meanings consistent with the descriptions in this paragraph), even if not specifically described for each identified component. The illustrative examples of the use of such language are intended to be illustrative, not limiting.

[0033]

[0033] As used herein, "makeup result" refers to a composition whose color remains the same or substantially the same as when applied, as viewed by the naked eye, even after an extended period of time. "Makeup result" can be evaluated by assessing long-wear properties by any method known in the art. For example, long-wear properties can be evaluated by a test in which the composition is applied to a keratinous material, such as the lips, and the color of the composition is evaluated after an extended period of time. For example, the color of the composition may be evaluated immediately after application to a keratinous material, such as the lips, and then these properties may be reevaluated and compared after a period of time. Additionally, these properties may be evaluated in comparison to other compositions, such as commercially available compositions.

[0034]

[0034] "Keratinous material" or "keratinous substances" refers to keratinous fibers such as natural human nails, lips, skin of the face, body, hands, around the eyes, etc., and hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, body hair, etc., as well as synthetic additives such as false eyelashes, eyebrows, and nails.

[0035]

[0035] "Physiologically acceptable" means compatible with keratinous materials, having a pleasant color, fragrance and feel, and not causing unacceptable discomfort (stinging or tightness) that would discourage the consumer from using the composition. Acceptable pH levels of the compositions of the present invention are preferably acidic, i.e., less than 7, preferably less than 6.5, preferably less than 6.0, preferably less than 5.5, including all ranges and subranges therebetween, such as 3-5, 4-6, 3-4.5, etc. The compositions of the present invention may be in the form of a gel composition.

[0036]

[0036] By "gel composition" is meant a composition that does not flow like a liquid when applied to a substrate, and has a three-dimensional network that prevents it from spreading on or dripping off a substrate within a short time (e.g., less than 10 seconds) due to gravity after application. G' (storage modulus) is higher than G" (loss modulus) for the entire strain range up to 300% strain. Preferably, G' (storage modulus) is higher than G" (loss modulus) at low strains, but as G' decreases and G" increases, the gel has a crossover point at >0.1% strain, preferably >1% strain, and preferably less than 200% strain, preferably less than 150% strain.

[0037] "Gel Crossover Point" (Sol / Gel Point) means the point where G" (Loss Modulus) crosses G' (Storage Modulus) and is reported in % strain. It is the point where the composition changes from a more solid state to a more liquid state. An example of a method for determining the gel crossover point is as follows: G" (Loss Modulus) and G' (Storage Modulus) were measured using a TA Instruments Discovery HR-3 Rheometer equipped with a 40 mm parallel plate geometry on a stainless steel flat Peltier plate. Tests can be run @25°C using test parameters of angular frequency 1.0 rad / sec and logarithmic sweep. % Strain 0.01-1000.0%. 5 points per decade. Results reported in % strain.

[0038] A composition having the properties described in the previous paragraph is a "quick-break gel composition". Such a composition, when used as a setter composition over a previously applied make-up composition, exhibits less physical interaction with the applied make-up, and as a result, less changes and alterations occur to the make-up composition during application of the quick-break gel composition.

[0039]

[0039] "Hydrogen bond interaction" means an interaction involving a hydrogen atom of one of two reagents and an electronegative heteroatom, such as oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, or fluorine, of the other reagent. In the context of the present invention, a hydrogen bond is formed between a hydroxyl function (OH) of a reactive phenolic group of polyphenol X and a reactive hydroxyl group of compound Y, which can form a hydrogen bond with the hydroxyl function of said phenolic group of polyphenol X.

[0040]

[0040] "A coating agent formed by an interaction between at least one polyphenol X containing at least two different phenol groups and a compound Y through hydrogen bonding" means that the conditions for allowing a reaction between the two reagents are met, specifically, i) the amount of polyphenol X is sufficient in the composition comprising it, ii) compound Y is soluble, miscible or solubilized by another solvent in the medium of the composition comprising it, iii) compound Y has a sufficient number of hydrogen bond acceptor groups to react with the phenolic group of polyphenol X in the medium of the composition comprising it, and iv) compound Y does not contain groups in its structure, e.g. one or more anionic groups, that do not allow hydrogen bonds to be formed with the functional groups of the reactive phenolic group of polyphenol X in the medium of the composition comprising it.

[0041]

[0041] "Natural compound" refers to a compound that is not chemically modified and is obtained directly from a natural source, such as a plant.

[0042]

[0042] "Naturally derived compound" refers to a compound derived from a naturally occurring compound that has been subjected to one or more chemical modifications, for example, by organic synthesis reactions, without altering the properties of the naturally occurring compound.

[0043]

[0043] "Synthetic compound" refers to a compound that is not a natural compound or a compound that is not naturally occurring.

[0044]

[0044] "Room temperature" means 25°C.

[0046]

[0046] "Coating agent" refers to a compound capable of forming a deposit on the surface of keratinous materials to which it is applied.

[0047]

[0047] "Hydrogen bond inhibitor" refers to a compound capable of inhibiting the hydrogen bonding interaction between polyphenol X and compound Y and / or dissociating the complex formed by said interaction by breaking the hydrogen bonds.

[0048]
