Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising at least one natural resin, at least one volatile oil, at least one volatile alcohol, and at least one modified polysaccharide in a specific mass ratio. The present invention also relates to a cosmetic method of applying such a cosmetic composition to a keratinous substance, particularly a human keratinous substance such as skin, hair or eyelashes.

Background Art

[0002] Cosmetic products often require the use of film-forming polymers so that the product forms a deposit having good cosmetic properties on the keratinous substance. It is necessary that the film-forming deposit has good persistence, that the deposit does not move during contact with fingers or clothing, that it has good resistance to contact with water, particularly rain or shower, and that the deposit is not easily affected by sweating or sebum, and dietary fats such as food fats, particularly oils.

[0003] Dispersions of polymers, generally acrylic particles, in organic media such as hydrocarbon oils are commonly used as film-forming agents in makeup products such as mascara, eyeliner, eyeshadow or lipstick. Silicone-based resins are also used for the purpose of improving the persistence of cosmetics. These dispersions are not always satisfactory with respect to resistance to fatty substances, particularly dietary fats or sebum, and may, for example, limit their use in lip makeup.

[0004] In addition, the field of cosmetic formulations is changing rapidly. Consumers expect a greater use of natural products and need to be reassured regarding the components in cosmetic formulations, particularly with regard to their harmlessness, their low environmental footprint, their origin, or other renewable properties thereof. In recent years, replacing synthetic polymers, particularly silicones, in cosmetic formulations has become a major challenge.

[0005] Several natural resins, such as rosin (colophony resin), have already been considered as the adhesion - imparting resin. This is inevitably combined with a high proportion of silicone resin, for example, to enhance the gloss and good durability of lip makeup (Patent Document 1). However, (Patent Document 2) discusses some problems encountered with such components. As the amount of silicone resin increases, loss of flexibility of the cosmetic film is often observed; the greater the amount of rosin, the more the adhesive effect of the cosmetic film is manifested. This results in a "heavy", thick or set makeup feeling.

[0006] Consumers are accustomed to certain sensory characteristics and textures, such as those of silicone and synthetic polymer fillers. For this reason, cosmetic chemists have the following dual challenges: on the one hand, silicone resins and synthetic polymers are being gradually replaced by more natural starting materials or starting materials of more natural origin in terms of naturalness, and on the other hand, more natural formulations must have performance and sensory properties such that they have at least equivalent efficacy and sensory characteristics to those of the less natural formulations they intend to replace.

[0007] Finally, there remain technical challenges in successfully formulating natural resins that are solid at ambient temperature (25°C) into cosmetics with a fluid - liquid texture. Typically, natural resins are said to be soluble in chlorinated solvents or benzene compounds, or large amounts of alcohol. Such solvents cannot be considered for cosmetic use, especially for skin care or makeup of the skin, particularly the lips, as even ethanol above a certain content can cause discomfort, dryness, irritation or a burning sensation on the skin. Therefore, the present invention also aims to enable and simplify the preparation of a cosmetic composition that provides improved durability based on components in a medium that is as natural as possible and acceptable as a cosmetic.

[0008] In particular, the object of the present invention is that the remaining film after application adheres well to keratinous substances, is elastic, shows as little fragmentation as possible and as little detachment from the substrate as possible, is not sticky, has good persistence against external attack factors such as friction, is resistant to sweat and sebum, and is relatively less reactive to oils such as edible oils, and to provide a cosmetic composition.

[0009] The inventors have surprisingly found that a specific combination of a volatile alcohol and a volatile oil enables the effective solubilization of natural resins including semi-solid and solid natural resins at ambient temperature (25°C), thereby enabling, in combination with a modified polysaccharide, the obtaining of a cosmetic composition in which the film obtained after application exhibits both particularly high friction resistance and non-stickiness after drying.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0017] For the purposes of the present invention, and unless otherwise indicated, the term "keratinous substance" means the skin, mucous membranes and / or skin appendages. Preferably, the keratinous substances are the skin, particularly facial skin, mucous membranes such as the lips, and / or skin appendages such as eyelashes.

[0018] The compositions according to the present invention can be cosmetic compositions or dermatological compositions. They are preferably cosmetic compositions.

[0019] The composition according to the invention contains a physiologically acceptable medium.

[0020] In the present invention, the term "physiologically acceptable medium" means a non-toxic medium that is compatible with keratinous substances, in particular human skin (including the inner eyelid), mucous membranes, hair or lips. A cosmetic composition is a product that has a pleasant appearance, odor and feel and is intended for topical application.

[0021] The term "anhydrous composition" means a composition that contains less than 5% by weight of water, preferably less than 1% by weight of water, and even more preferably less than 0.5% by weight of water, particularly a composition that does not contain water, based on the total weight of the composition.

[0022] The term "volatile substance" means any substance that can evaporate upon contact with the skin in less than 1 hour at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure. The volatile substance is liquid at ambient temperature and in particular has a vapor pressure in the range of 2.66 Pa or more, preferably 2.66 Pa to 40,000 Pa, preferably 2.66 Pa to 13,000 Pa, preferably 2.66 Pa to 1300 Pa, at ambient temperature (25°C) and atmospheric pressure.

[0023] The vapor pressure can be measured according to a static method or by an effusion method by isothermal thermogravimetry (OCDE standard 104), depending on the vapor pressure of the oil.

[0024] The term "soluble or solubilized compound" means a compound that can dissolve in or is miscible with a liquid and forms only one homogeneous phase when incorporated into the liquid.

[0025] The term "natural compound" means, where appropriate, a compound that is obtained directly from the earth or soil, in particular from plants, via one or more physical processes, in particular physical extraction processes such as grinding, purification, distillation, refining or filtration.

[0026] The term "naturally derived compound" means a natural compound that has been subjected to one or more additional chemical or industrial processes and has undergone modifications that do not affect the essential qualities of the compound, and / or a compound mainly comprising natural constituents that may or may not have undergone the above-described conversions.

[0027] This conversion / process uses environmentally friendly processes and does not contain substances harmful to the environment, in accordance with the principles of green chemistry.

[0028] Non-limiting examples of additional chemical or industrial processes that result in modifications that do not affect the basic properties of natural compounds include those permitted by regulatory bodies such as Ecocert (Reference system for biological and ecological cosmetic products, January 2003) or those defined in recognized handbooks in the art such as "Cosmetics and Toiletries Magazine", 2005, volume 120, 9:10.

[0029] The expressions "from... to..." and "in the range of... to..." should be understood to mean that the limit points are included, unless otherwise specified.

[0030] The expressions "at least one" and "one or more" are synonymous and can be used interchangeably.

[0031] In the description and examples, unless otherwise indicated, contents and percentages are mass percentages. Accordingly, percentages are expressed by mass relative to the total mass of the composition. Ratios are also mass ratios. Temperatures are expressed in degrees Celsius and pressures are at atmospheric pressure, unless otherwise indicated.

[0032] Composition (A) - oily phase According to a first aspect, the subject matter of the present invention is a composition as defined above.

[0033] The Applicant has surprisingly observed that the composition A of the present invention, which contains natural resins, in particular dissolved natural resins, in a specific mixture of volatile oils and volatile alcohols as defined below, in combination with a modified polysaccharide, has improved persistence, makes it possible to obtain a film that is resistant to friction after the film has dried, and is non-sticky.

[0034] Natural resin Resins are generally defined as solid, highly viscous or liquid substances of plant or synthetic origin. Resins have several properties characteristic of resins, such as: - The ability to cure permanently under the influence of temperature for synthetic resins, for example, and under the influence of oxygen for natural resins; - Insolubility in water and, in particular, good adhesiveness and adhesive properties.

[0035] Standard ISO4618:2014 (fr) defines resin as "a generally amorphous macromolecular product having a consistency ranging from a solid state to a liquid state". Natural resins are substantially of plant origin only (fossil or harvested) and are then secreted by plants for their role in defense, protection and communication within their ecosystem. The exception to this is shellac, which is of animal origin and is secreted by the insect Coccus lacca.

[0036] For the purposes of the present invention, "natural resin", in particular "plant resin", means any substance containing a minimum content of terpene compounds, i.e. at least 30% by mass of terpene compounds relative to the total mass of the substance(s) in question, as chemically defined below, said substance being derived directly or indirectly from the secretion and exudation of substances for the purpose of defense, protection and communication with their ecosystem, mainly by plants (and more rarely by animals).

[0037] Advantageously, the natural resins according to the present invention are insoluble in water at ambient temperature (unlike, for example, latex or gum).

[0038] Natural resins are also considered to be natural adhesives that have the inherent ability to polymerize consistently and predictably on their own without using synthetic chemistry. Preferably, the natural resin used in the composition according to the invention has a number average molecular weight of 10,000 g / mol or less. The resin preferably has a number average molecular weight in the range of 10,000 g / mol or less, particularly in the range of 250 to 10,000 g / mol, preferably 5,000 g / mol or less, particularly in the range of 250 to 5,000 g / mol, more preferably 2,000 g / mol or less, particularly in the range of 250 to 2,000 g / mol, even more preferably 1,000 g / mol or less, particularly in the range of 250 to 1,000 g / mol. The number average molecular weight (Mn) is determined by gel permeation liquid chromatography (THF solvent, calibration curve established with linear polystyrene standards, refractive index detector).

[0039] Thermal properties Advantageously, the resin according to the invention is characterized by having a softening point which indicates the transition temperature from a pseudo-solid state to a plastic state during heating.

[0040] Preferably, the resin of the present invention has a softening point in the range of 20 °C to 150 °C, more preferably in the range of 30 °C to 100 °C, even more preferably in the range of 40 °C to 90 °C.

[0041] The softening point is the temperature at which the product reaches a certain degree of softening under standardized conditions. This indicates the transition temperature from a pseudo-solid state to a plastic state during heating. This can be measured for the resin by the ring-and-ball method (or RBT, ring and ball temperature) according to standard ASTM E284.

[0042] Depending on the type, some of the resins according to the invention can also preferably have a melting temperature of less than 360 °C, more preferably less than 190 °C, even more preferably less than 90 °C. According to a preferred form of the present invention, the resin does not have a melting temperature.

[0043] The melting point (or melting temperature) of a substance at a given pressure corresponds to the temperature at which the liquid and solid states of this substance can coexist in an equilibrium state.

[0044] Preferably, the resin of the present invention preferably has a glass transition temperature in the range of 0 °C to 200 °C, more preferably 10 °C to 100 °C, even more preferably 20 °C to 90 °C, and even more preferably 30 °C to 70 °C.

[0045] The glass transition temperature (Tg) of a material represents the temperature range in which the material transitions from a rubbery state to a glassy solid (rigid) state. The thermal properties, particularly the Mp and Tg of a resin, can be measured by DSC (differential scanning calorimetry), for example, by a DSC8000 apparatus manufactured by Perkin Elmer, according to the following: - Protocol 1: Determination of the melting temperature Mp and the crystallization temperature Tc: Starting material alone or solubilized / dispersed in a solvent, stainless steel dish, sweeping from 5 °C to 90 °C, sweeping rate 5 °C / min-1. - Protocol 2: Determination of the glass transition temperature Tg: Measurement during the second heating. Use an aluminum dish (40 μl) containing the starting material and perform a temperature sweep from -100 °C to 150 °C (with isotherms) to observe the glass transition temperature. The applied temperature gradient is 10 °C / min with respect to the glass transition temperature (2 cycles).

[0046] Botanical definition of resin: Natural resins of plant or animal origin have been conventionally defined by Ullmann‘s Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, “Resins,Synthetic” 2012 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH&Co.KGaA,Weinheim, DOI:10.1002 / 14356007.a23_089.pub2.

[0047] Natural resins can be classified according to their botanical aspects. Resins can be derived from gymnosperms (naked seeds) and angiosperms (covered seeds); the latter are subdivided into monocots (having one cotyledon) and dicots (having two cotyledons). They can also be selected according to their physical and chemical properties. Examples of natural resins include, in particular, rosin (tall oil rosin, wood or gum derived from exudates of trees and plants; wood extracts; or by-products from paper manufacturing), fossil resins such as amber; extracted resins such as asphaltite; shellac such as those produced by insect secretions; and their main derivatives.

[0048] The resin of the present invention is preferably of plant origin, particularly derived from plants or trees. Fossil resins are (hard and semi-hard) resins collected from the ground where ancient forests that once disappeared stood. Some of them are no longer known for sure. Some fossil resins have undergone significant changes in their chemical structure due to aging or maturation that may have taken thousands of years. The transition from fossil resins to recent resins can be various. They can include, for example, resins found in fossilized form and collected from living plants. Semi-fossil varieties are collected at the base of the trees that produced them (Ullmann‘s Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, “Resins, Natural” 2012 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim, DOI: 10.1002 / 14356007.a23_073) (Techniques de l‘Ingenieur [Engineering Techniques], “Resines Naturelles” [Natural Resins], 1982 Bernard Delmond).

[0049] The resins collected are recent (soft). They are all collected from living plants. Depending on their composition, they are subdivided as follows: - Oleoresins: natural solutions of resins in essential oils; - Balsam: A resin characterized by a high proportion of benzoic acid and cinnamic acid and their esters; - Gum: A resin essentially composed of polysaccharides; - Gum-resin: A mixture of a resin and a hydrophilic gum; - Latex: A milky white composition of organic substances dispersed in an aqueous medium: (Techniques de l‘Ingenieur [Engineering Techniques], “Resines Naturelles” [Natural Resins], 1982 Bernard Delmond).

[0050] Among the resins of the present invention, especially in recent years, resins soluble in oil and / or alcohol are more preferred than water-soluble forms such as latex or gum.

[0051] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the resins of the present invention are harvested resins; since these are self-renewable, they are particularly beneficial from an ecological point of view.

[0052] Preferably, the resins of the present invention are recent ones. Advantageously, the resins used according to the present invention depend on resources that do not compete with those for food applications. Advantageously, the resins used in the compositions of the present invention are derived from the recycling of by-products of the paper industry.

[0053] Chemical definition of resin Chemically, natural resins are complex mixtures of several classes of compounds, the presence and content of which define the resin glass (oleoresin, balsam, gum, etc.): essential oils, neutral and acidic components, and polysaccharides (present only in gums).

[0054] The components characterizing the resin are the terpene compounds it contains, preferably in a content of at least 30% by mass relative to the mass of the resin. The "terpene compound" means terpenes, hydrocarbons formed from isoprene having the general formula (C5H8)n, and numerous derivatives thereof (alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, acids, etc.) containing a terpene structure (Academie de Montpellier. The resins: https: / / tice.ac-montpellier.fr / ABCDORGA / Famille / Terpenes.html).

[0055] Among terpene hydrocarbons, the following are distinguished: monoterpenes with the empirical formula C10H16 (n = 2), sesquiterpenes with the empirical formula C15H24 (n = 3), diterpenes (C20H32) (n = 4), sesterterpenes (C25H40) (n = 5), triterpenes (C30H48) (n = 6), tetraterpenes (C40H64) (n = 8) and other polyterpenes. Some have an acyclic structure; they contain several double bonds corresponding to their empirical formula: 3 for C10H16; 5 for C20H32; 7 for C30H48. Others have one or more rings, so the number of double bonds decreases, for example, for C10H16, it has one ring and two double bonds, or two rings and one double bond.

[0056] Advantageously, the resin of the present invention contains at least 30% by mass, preferably at least 40% by mass, preferably at least 50% by mass, even more preferably at least 60% by mass, even more preferably at least 70% by mass of terpene compounds, based on the total mass of the resin or resinous substance used as the starting material in the composition according to the present invention. Monoterpene compounds and sesquiterpene compounds are mainly volatile compounds, for example, constituting essential oils. Polyterpene compounds derived from terpenes with n of 4 or more (for example, derivatives of diterpenes and triterpenes) are resinous compounds with fairly solid properties.

[0057] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the resin contains at least 10% by mass, preferably at least 20% by mass, preferably at least 30% by mass, preferably at least 35% by mass of a polyterpene compound, that is, a compound derived from a terpene in which n is 4 or more, based on the total mass of the resin representing 100%. Therefore, a resin having a fraction that is solid at ambient temperature (25 °C) is preferred. Conveniently, the resin used according to the present invention is not volatile.

[0058] Conveniently, the polyterpene compound of the resin or resinous substance used in the composition of the present invention is mainly (up to a mass exceeding 50% of the total mass of the polyterpene) obtained from diterpenes and / or triterpenes.

[0059] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the resin contains less than 70% by mass of a monoterpene compound or sesquiterpene compound, that is, a compound derived from a terpene in which n is less than 4, based on the total mass of the resin representing 100%; preferably, the resin contains less than 60% by mass, preferably less than 50% by mass, preferably less than 30% by mass, preferably less than 15% by mass of a monoterpene compound or sesquiterpene compound derived from a terpene, where n is less than 4. Therefore, for the composition of the present invention, it is not very effective regarding the persistence of the cosmetic film, and it is preferable to limit the use of the most volatile resins.

[0060] A non-exhaustive list of terpene compounds that may be included in the natural resin of the present invention has been created. This lists the families of terpene compounds subdivided based on the characteristic groups (alcohol functional group, ketone functional group, acid functional group, etc.) of each compound (listed below).

According to a particular embodiment of the present invention, the resin is selected from k) frankincense.

[0080] t) rosin Preferably, the natural resin is selected from rosin. Rosin is a recent resin from renewable resources and can be modified (e.g., esterification, hydrogenation, substitution).

[0081] Gum rosin is preferably purified and distilled from the balsams of various pine components (up to 80 different species).

[0082] Their composition is determined by climate, soil composition and other botanical and meteorological factors. For example, Pinus austriaca (black pine) Austria, Central America, caribaea (slash pine), United States, Caribbean region, densiflora Japan, elliottii United States, halepensis (Aleppo pine) Greece, Portugal, Spain, langifolia India, maritima (seashore pine) France, Spain, Portugal, massoniana (Chinese red pine) China, merkusii Indonesia, Myanmar, Philippines, nigra (black pine) Austria, oocarpa Central America, Honduras, palustris (swamp pine), United States, (longleaf pine), pseudostrobus Central America, Mexico, sylvestris (Scots pine) Germany, Poland, tonkinensis China, yunnanensis, China-originated rosin can be mentioned.

According to one embodiment, tall oil rosin does not contain oxocarboxylic acids. They are particularly soluble in organic solvents. The colophony resin of the present invention contains in particular rosin acids belonging to the terpene family. The numbering of the carbon atoms in the molecule of rosin acid is shown using abietic acid as an example.

[0087] Rosin acid has the molecular chemical formula C 20 H 30 O2 and thus belongs to the diterpene family (4 isoprene units).

[0097] v) Resins extracted from plant waxes Natural plant waxes themselves are not considered resins. They are one of the substances secreted / excreted by plants, naturally containing very low amounts of resin and containing less than 30% by weight of terpenes relative to the total mass of the wax. For example, carnauba wax is naturally secreted by the leaves of the palm tree, Copernica cerifera, to prevent the leaves from dehydrating. Candelilla wax is obtained from a shrub called Euphorbia antisyphilitica, which is native to northern Mexico. Waxes protect the plant from its environment and prevent excessive evaporation. For example, candelilla wax is mainly composed of hydrocarbons (about 50%, chains of 29 - 33 carbon atoms), high molecular weight esters (20% - 29%), free acids (7% - 9%) and resins (12 - 14%, mainly triterpene esters).

[0098] Nevertheless, the definition of "natural resin" for the purposes of the present invention also includes resins obtained from these waxes when the resin or terpene component in question has been pre - concentrated, isolated or extracted from these waxes, as long as it contains the minimum content of terpenes (30% by weight relative to the total mass of the components) required by the present invention. Particular mention may be made of candelilla resin (100% pure resin, extracted from the corresponding wax) having an extract of Euphorbia cerifera (candelilla) wax sold under the name CANDELILLA RESIN E - 1 from JAPAN NATURAL PRODUCTS in the following INCI names. The pamphlet of International Publication No. WO 2013 / 147113 A1 also mentions carnauba resin, a terpene resin extracted from carnauba wax, which has physical properties similar to those of the previously described natural resins, for example, a softening temperature, no melting temperature, and properties that distinguish the resin from the wax.

[0099] Table 1 of the examples shows some characteristic differences between the waxes and the resins according to the present invention with respect to their thermal properties.

[0100] The resin has a softening point and a glass transition temperature, but does not have a melting temperature.

[0101] The opposite is true for waxes that have a melting temperature.

[0252] The size is measured by static light scattering using a commercially available particle size analyzer of the MasterSizer 3000 (registered trademark) type from Malvern, whereby the particle size distribution of all particles over a wide range from 0.01 μm to 1000 μm can be determined. The data is processed based on Mie scattering theory. This theory is most suitable for particle size distributions in the sub-micron to several micron range; it enables the effective particle diameter to be measured. This theory is described in publications by, in particular, Van de Hulst, H.C., Light Scattering by Small Particles, Chapters 9 and 10, Wiley, New York, 1957.

[0260] Among the pigments that can be used according to the present invention, there may be mentioned optical effects different from simple conventional coloring effects, i.e., effects having a unified and stabilized effect such as those produced by conventional dyes such as single-color pigments. For the purposes of the present invention, the term "stabilized" means that there is no influence of color variation according to the viewing angle or temperature change.

[0261] For example, this material can be selected from particles having a metallic luster, goniochromatic colorants, diffraction pigments, thermochromic agents, optical brighteners and also fibers, particularly interference fibers. Of course, these various materials can be combined so as to provide a simultaneous display of two effects, indeed even the novel effects according to the present invention. The metallic particles that can be used in the present invention are particularly selected from the following: - particles of at least one metal and / or at least one metal derivative, - particles comprising an organic or inorganic substrate of a single material or a composite material and coated with at least one layer having a metallic luster containing at least in part at least one metal and / or at least one metal derivative; and - mixtures of said particles.

[0267] The goniochromatic colorant may be selected, for example, from multilayer interference structures and liquid crystal colorants.

[0268] Examples of symmetric multilayer interference structures that can be used in the compositions prepared according to the present invention are, for example, the following structures: Al / SiO2 / Al / SiO2 / Al (pigments having this structure are sold by DuPont de Nemours); Cr / MgF2 / Al / MgF2 / Cr (pigments having this structure are sold by Flex under the name Chromaflair®); MoS2 / SiO2 / Al / SiO2 / MoS2; Fe2O3 / SiO2 / Al / SiO2 / Fe2O3, and Fe2O3 / SiO2 / Fe2O3 / SiO2 / Fe2O3 (pigments having these structures are sold by BASF under the name Sicopearl®); MoS2 / SiO2 / mica-oxide / SiO2 / MoS2; Fe2O3 / SiO2 / mica-oxide / SiO2 / Fe2O3; TiO2 / SiO2 / TiO2 and TiO2 / Al2O3 / TiO2; SnO / TiO2 / SiO2 / TiO2 / SnO; Fe2O3 / SiO2 / Fe2O3; SnO / mica / TiO2 / SiO2 / TiO2 / mica / SnO (pigments having these structures are sold by Merck (Darmstadt) under the name Xirona®).

Also mentionable are the Infinite Colors pigments from Shiseido. Different effects are obtained depending on the thickness and properties of the various layers. Thus, when using the Fe2O3 / SiO2 / Al / SiO2 / Fe2O3 structure, the color in the SiO2 layer of 320 - 350 nm changes from greenish gold to reddish gray; in the SiO2 layer of 380 - 400 nm, it changes from red to gold; in the SiO2 layer of 410 - 420 nm, it changes from purple to green; and in the SiO2 layer of 430 - 440 nm, it changes from copper color to red.

[0270] As the liquid crystal goniochromatic particles, those sold by Chenix, for example, and those sold by Wacker under the name Helicone® HC can be used.

[0271] Hydrophobically coated pigments According to a form of the characteristics of the present invention, the composition according to the present invention comprises at least one pigment coated with at least one lipophilic or hydrophobic compound, in particular at least one pigment as described in detail below.

[0272] This type of pigment is particularly advantageous as long as it can be considered in large amounts together with a large amount of water. Furthermore, as long as they are treated with a hydrophobic compound, they show a significant affinity for the gelled oil phase, which can transport them at a later stage.

[0273] Naturally, the composition according to the present invention may simultaneously contain uncoated pigments.

[0274] The coating may also contain at least one additional non-lipophilic compound.

[0275] For the purposes of the present invention, the "coating" of the pigment according to the present invention generally represents the overall or partial surface treatment of the pigment with a surfactant that is absorbed, adsorbed or grafted onto the pigment.

[0276] The surface-treated pigments can be prepared according to surface treatment techniques of chemical, electronic, mechanochemical or mechanical properties well known to those skilled in the art. Commercially available products can also be used. The surface treatment agent can be absorbed, adsorbed or grafted onto the pigment by evaporation of the solvent, chemical reaction and formation of covalent bonds.

[0277] According to one variant form, the surface treatment consists of coating the pigment.

[0278] The coating can represent 0.1% to 20% by weight, in particular 0.5% to 5% by weight, relative to the total mass of the pigment coated.

[0279] The coating can be brought about, for example, by adsorption of the liquid surfactant onto the surface of the solid particles by simply mixing the solid particles and the liquid surfactant while stirring, optionally with heating, before incorporation of the particles into the other raw materials of the makeup or care composition.

[0280] The coating can be brought about, for example, by chemical reaction between the surfactant and the surface of the solid pigment particles and formation of a covalent bond between the surfactant and the particles. This method is described in particular in US Patent No. 4,578,266.

[0281] The chemical surface treatment may consist of diluting the surfactant in a volatile solvent, dispersing the pigment in this mixture and then slowly evaporating the volatile solvent, so that the surfactant is deposited on the surface of the pigment.

[0282] Lipophilic or hydrophobic treatment agent When the pigment contains a lipophilic or hydrophobic coating, the latter is preferably present in the fatty phase of the composition according to the invention.

[0283] According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the pigment can be coated with at least one compound selected from silicone surfactants; fluorinated surfactants; fluorosilicone surfactants; metal soaps; N-acyl amino acids or their salts; lecithin and its derivatives; isopropyl titanium triisostearate; isostearyl sebacate; natural plant or animal waxes; polar synthetic waxes; fatty esters; phospholipids; and mixtures thereof, according to the invention.

[0284] Silicone surface treatment agent According to certain embodiments, the pigment can be fully or partially surface-treated with a silicone-based compound.

[0285] The silicone surfactant can be selected from organopolysiloxanes, silane derivatives, silicone-acrylate copolymers, silicone resins, and mixtures thereof.

[0286] The term "organopolysiloxane compound" means a compound having a structure in which silicon atoms and oxygen atoms are arranged alternately and containing an organic radical bonded to the silicon atom.

[0361] Silica particles According to a preferred form, the composition according to the invention additionally comprises silica particles selected from hydrophobic silica aerogel particles, silica particles other than those described above, and mixtures thereof. i) Hydrophobic silica aerogel Hydrophobic silica aerogels are porous materials obtained by replacing the liquid component of silica gel with air (in particular by drying). These are generally synthesized in a liquid medium by the sol-gel method and then dried, usually by extraction with a supercritical fluid (the most commonly used being supercritical CO2). This type of drying allows the avoidance of pore and material shrinkage. The sol-gel method and various drying operations are detailed in Brinker C.J. and Scherer G.W., Sol-Gel Science, New York, Academic Press, 1990.

[0362] The hydrophobic silica aerogels used according to the present invention are preferably silylated silica aerogels (INCI name: Silica Silylate).

[0363] The term "hydrophobic silica" means any silica whose surface has been treated with a silylating agent, such as an alkylchlorosilane, a siloxane, in particular a dimethylsiloxane such as hexamethyldisiloxane or a silazane, so as to be functionalized with a silyl group, for example a trimethylsilyl group, replacing the OH groups with Si-R n For the preparation of hydrophobic silica aerogel particles surface-modified by silylation, reference may be made to the document of US Patent No. 7470725.

[0364] In particular, aerogel particles formed from hydrophobic silica (trimethylsiloxylated silica) surface-modified with trimethylsilyl groups are used.

[0365] The term "hydrophobic aerogel particles" means any aerogel-type particles showing a water absorption capacity at a wet point of less than 0.1 ml / g, i.e. less than 10 g of water / 100 g of particles.

[0366] ​The absorption capacity measured at the wetting point and denoted as WP corresponds to the amount of solvent (expressed in grams or milliliters) that needs to be added to 1 g of particles in order to obtain a homogeneous paste. This is measured according to the "wetting point" method or the method described in the standard NF T 30 - 022 for determining the uptake of solvent (water or oil) by a powder. As will be described later, this corresponds to the amount of solvent adsorbed onto the available surface of the powder and / or absorbed by the powder as measured by the wetting point.

[0367] Place a glass plate (25x25 mm) on the scale, weigh out an amount w of 1 g of powder onto the glass plate, and then add the solvent dropwise (e.g., water or isononyl isononanoate). Gradually add the solvent to the powder and regularly knead everything using a spatula (every 3 - 4 drops). Stop adding the solvent when a homogeneous paste is obtained. This paste must be able to be spread on the glass plate without cracks or lumps. Record the mass of the solvent required to obtain the wetting point. Take the average over 3 tests. Since the density of the solvent is known, the volume Vs (expressed in ml) of the solvent used is estimated therefrom. The solvent uptake corresponds to Vs / w.

[0368] Preferably, the hydrophobic silica aerogel particles according to the invention preferably have an oil absorption capacity measured at the wetting point in the range of 5 - 18 ml / g, preferably 6 - 15 ml / g, more preferably 8 - 12 ml / g.

[0369] The hydrophobic silica aerogel particles used in the present invention preferably have a specific surface area (SM) per unit mass in the range of 200 - 1500 m 2 / g, preferably 600 - 1200 m 2 / g, more preferably in the range of 600 - 800 m2 / g, and a size represented as the volume - average diameter (D[0.5]) of less than 1500 μm, preferably in the range of 1 - 30 μm, preferably 5 - 25 μm, more preferably 5 - 20 μm, even more preferably 5 - 15 μm.

[0370] The specific surface area per unit mass is described in The Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 60, page 309, February 1938 and can be determined by the nitrogen absorption method known as the BET (Brunauer - Emmett - Teller) method, which corresponds to the international standard ISO 5794 / 1 (Appendix D). The BET specific surface area corresponds to the specific surface area of the entire particles of interest.

[0371] The size of the aerogel particles according to the present invention can be measured by static light scattering using a commercially available particle size analyzer of the Mastersizer 2000 (registered trademark) type from Malvern. The data is processed based on the Mie scattering theory. This theory corresponds to isotropic particles and, in the case of non - spherical particles, it is possible to determine the effective particle diameter. This theory is described in particular in the publication by Van de Hulst, H.C., Light Scattering by Small Particles, Chapters 9 and 10, Wiley, New York, 1957.

[0372] The hydrophobic silica aerogel particles used in the present invention preferably have a tapped density in the range of 0.02 g / cm 3 ~0.10 g / cm 3 and preferably in the range of 0.02 g / cm 3 ~0.08 g / cm 3 can have.

[0373] Regarding the present invention, this density can be evaluated according to the following protocol known as the tapped density protocol:

[0374] Pour 40 g of the powder into a measuring cylinder; then place the measuring cylinder in a Stampf Volumeter Stav 2003 (registered trademark) machine; then subject the measuring cylinder to a series of 2500 tapping operations (this operation is repeated until the difference in volume between two consecutive tests is less than 2%); then directly measure the final volume Vf of the tapped powder in the measuring cylinder. The tap density is determined by the ratio of m / Vf. In this case, it is 40 / Vf (where Vf is in cm 3 units and m is in g units).

[0375] According to one embodiment, the specific surface area (S V ) per unit volume of the hydrophobic aerogel particles used in the present invention is in the range of 5 to 60 m 2 / cm 3 , preferably in the range of 10 to 50 m 2 / cm 3 , and even more preferably in the range of 15 to 40 m 2 / cm 3 .

[0376] The specific surface area per unit volume is given by the following relationship: S V = S M .ρ; where, as defined above, ρ is the tap density expressed in g / cm 3 , and S M is the specific surface area per unit mass expressed in m 2 / g.

[0377] According to a particular embodiment, the aerogel particles used are inorganic, and more specifically, hydrophobic silica aerogel particles having the aforementioned properties.

The average diameter of these particles ranges from 2 to 25 microns, and the specific surface area per unit mass is in the range of 600 to 800 m 2 / g.

[0381] The hydrophobic aerogel particles correspond to 0.05% to 10% by mass, preferably 0.1% to 8% by mass, even better 0.2% to 5% by mass, and more preferably 0.3% to 3% by mass based on the total mass of the composition.

[0384] Fumed silica can be obtained by subjecting a volatile silicon compound to high-temperature hydrolysis in a hydrogen-oxygen flame, and fine silica can be obtained. By this method, it becomes possible to obtain hydrophilic silica having a large number of silanol groups especially on their surfaces. The surface of the silica can be chemically modified by a chemical reaction that reduces the number of silanol groups. In particular, it is possible to substitute the silanol groups with hydrophobic groups: Next, hydrophobic silica is obtained.

[0385] The hydrophobic group can be as follows: (a) Trimethylsiloxy groups obtained especially by treating fumed silica in the presence of hexamethyldisilazane. The silica thus treated is known as Silica Silylate according to CTFA (6th Edition, 1995); (b) Dimethylsilyloxy groups or polydimethylsiloxane groups, which are obtained especially by treating fumed silica in the presence of polydimethylsiloxane or dimethyldichlorosilane. The silica thus treated is known as "Silica Dimethyl Silylate (dimethylsilylated silica)" according to CTFA (6th Edition, 1995). More specifically, the following can be mentioned as silica powders other than silicone aerogels: - Porous silica microspheres sold under the name Silica Beads SB-700 (registered trademark) by Miyoshi; and under the names Sunsphere H51 (registered trademark) or Sunsphere H33 (registered trademark) by Asahi Glass; - Amorphous silica microspheres coated with polydimethylsiloxane, sold under the names SA Sunsphere (registered trademark) H33 (registered trademark) and SA Sunsphere (registered trademark) H53 (registered trademark) by AGC SITECH; - For example, precipitated silica microspheres coated with a mineral wax such as polyethylene, especially those sold under the name Acematt® OK 412® by Evonik Degussa.

[0386] More specifically, as the silica powder, porous silica microspheres such as those sold under the name Silica Beads SB-700® by Mitsuwa Kasei and under the names Sunsphere® H51 and Sunsphere® H33 by AGC SITECH are used.

[0387] Silica particles other than the hydrophobic silica aerogel particles are present in the composition according to the invention in an amount in the range from 0.01% to 15% by weight, preferably from 0.1% to 10% by weight and very preferably from 0.5% to 5% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition.

[0388] According to a preferred form, the composition according to the invention comprises a mixture comprising at least hydrophobic silica aerogel particles and other silica particles such as those described above, in particular porous silica microspheres.

[0389] Additional dyes The composition according to the invention may preferably also contain at least one further dye in a proportion of at least 0.01% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition.

[0390] For obvious reasons, this amount can vary widely depending on the intensity of the desired color effect and the color strength imparted by the dye under consideration, and its adjustment is clearly within the capabilities of the person skilled in the art.

[0391] Additional dyes suitable for use in the present invention may be water-soluble or may be fat-soluble.

[0392] For the purposes of the present invention, the term "water-soluble dye" means any natural or synthetic, generally organic compound that is soluble in an aqueous phase or a water-miscible solvent and is capable of imparting color.

[0393] In particular, suitable water-soluble dyes for the present invention include synthetic or natural water-soluble dyes such as FDC Red 4, DC Red 6, DC Red 22, DC Red 28, DC Red 30, DC Red 33, DC Orange 4, DC Yellow 5, DC Yellow 6, DC Yellow 8, FDC Green 3, DC Green 5, FDC Blue 1, betanin (beetroot), carmine, copper chlorophyllin, methylene blue, anthocyanins (peonidin, black carrot, hibiscus or natto), caramel or riboflavin.

[0394] Water-soluble dyes are, for example, beetroot juice and caramel.

[0395] For the purposes of the present invention, the term "lipid-soluble dye" means any natural or synthetic, generally organic compound that is soluble in an oily phase or a solvent miscible with fatty substances and is capable of imparting color.

[0397] Form of the composition The composition of the present invention can be in the form of an anhydrous composition, an oil-in-water emulsion, or a water-in-oil emulsion.

[0398] According to the first embodiment of the present invention, the composition is a single-phase oily composition.

[0399] According to another advantageous embodiment of the present invention, the composition comprises an aqueous phase, in which case it is preferably in the form of a water-in-oil emulsion, or in some cases a composition having several distinct phases (such as a two-phase composition).

[0400] The term "water-in-oil emulsion" or W / O emulsion means a composition comprising immiscible oily and aqueous phases. The aqueous phase is dispersed in the form of droplets (described as continuous) in the oily phase in order to obtain a macroscopically homogeneous composition.

[0401] In the case of the composition of the present invention, a presentation form having a continuous oily phase is preferred, and the sustained-release performance promoter is provided by a natural resin solubilized in the oily phase. These forms further promote the dispersion and homogeneity of the pigments, and thus optimize the coverage obtained for the film obtained after application of the composition according to the present invention (as demonstrated in the examples).

Advantageously, the composition according to the present invention is more specifically in the form of a viscoelastic to viscous liquid, the G * elastic modulus (viscoelastic modulus) is between 0.1 and 20,000 Pa, more specifically between 1 and 5,000 Pa, or even between 10 and 1,000 Pa. The G * elastic modulus is measured with a controlled stress rheometer, and the value is obtained at the viscoelastic plateau at 25 °C.

Table 2

[0414] Preparation of the composition Procedures and apparatus used in each test: Each resin (A, B, C) and each gelling agent (D, E, F, G, H) were used in a mixture of ethanol and isododecane at ambient temperature according to the protocol described below at the mass ratios shown in the following table: - Mix the resin with the solvent under magnetic stirring at 1200 rpm for 24 hours at an ambient temperature of 25 °C. - Add the gelling agent by sprinkling it onto the resin / solvent mixture. - Continue stirring until the resin is completely solubilized and the polymer is developed. - Weigh the assembly (beaker + mixture) and readjust the amount of volatile solvent (if a slight loss of volatile matter is observed). - Then add the following coloring starting materials: RED 7 organic pigment or coated iron oxide mineral pigment using a rotor stator at ambient temperature (25 °C).

[0415] Protocol for evaluating dry friction resistance and friction resistance in the presence of oil Some compositions were evaluated for their resistance to friction by colorimetric measurement of the dry film before and after wear, and the protocol for that test is described in detail below.

[0416] Protocol for spraying the composition as a coating: The product is spread on a diffusion bench (Elcometer 4340 applicator), which allows adjustment of the spreading rate and distance. The bench is equipped with a suction system connected to a pump to keep the support on which the product is spread stationary. Uncoated contrast cards with black and white backgrounds are used (1 bic chart, uncoated N2A, code 2831). The thickness of the spread can be adjusted using a square spreader placed on the support so that it spreads by leveling when the platform is moving. Each end face of the spreader allows spreading at different thicknesses in the range of 25 μm to 200 μm. The selected thickness is 25 μm to approximate the film thickness in vivo. A mass of 960 g is applied to the spreader during spreading. The spreading rate is set at 1 inch / second, i.e., 2.54 cm / second. The coating is dried on a heating plate at 34 °C and ambient RH (50% RH) for 24 hours.

[0417] Abrasion resistance test protocol: The friction resistance test is performed by colorimetric measurement of the dry coating before and after abrasion. Abrasion is carried out by attaching a strip of a tissue hanky (Chicopee® Veraclean™ Polish Plus) to the 25-μm edge face of the spreader. A mass of 960 g is applied to the spreader during abrasion. The bench speed is set at 2.54 cm / second. Color is measured using a Konica Minolta CM-700d spectrophotometer before and after abrasion. Measurement by contact makes it possible to ensure the absence of stray light.

[0418] Selected settings: aperture 8 mm; uncertainty: 0.04; SCI / SCE measurement; d / 8° geometry.

[0419] The measurement of the colors of two backgrounds (black background BB and white background WB) makes it possible to characterize the coverage of the substrate by calculating the contrast ratio (CR%), i.e., YBB / YWB×100, where YBB and YWB are the luminance values measured on the black background and the white background, respectively, and these values increase as the coverage of the substrate increases.

[0420] To evaluate the frictional resistance, the contrast ratios before friction (CR dry deposit, %) and after abrasion (CR fric dry deposit, %) are measured respectively. The ratio [CR fric dry deposit / CR dry deposit] * 100, as a percentage, indicates the resistance of the coating to friction: the higher this ratio, the higher the resistance of the coating to friction.

[0421] Note: For obtaining each contrast ratio value, at least two contrast cards are used for each composition and evaluated by 3 CR measurements on each card. Thus, each CR value represents the average of 6 measurements.

[0422] The frictional resistance of the dry coatings was tested for two types of coloring compositions: 1) organic pigments and then 2) iron oxides (basic prototypes). For the compositions colored with organic pigments (lip product prototypes), the resistance of the coatings to olive oil was tested.

[0423] In vitro test of fragmentation on FP40 elastomer substrate - evaluation of the adhesion and aggregation properties of deposits Using an aluminum stencil (an orifice with a length of 20 mm, a width of 10 mm, and a thickness of 100 μm), the coating was manually cast onto an FP40 support (a test piece with a length of 60 mm and a width of 10 mm, where the FP40 substrate is made of butadiene-nitrile elastomer and contains a plasticizer (diethylhexyl sebacate); a test piece; the reference product JOINT DIVERS PLAQUE (MISCELLANEOUS PLATE SEAL) HPYF000504N4I01 supplied by BRAMMER, a 60X1000x2 strip made of FP40, brand BUSAK-LU) with a pipette, and then flattened to obtain a coating with a thickness of 100 μm. Then, the test piece was dried on a hot plate at 35 °C for 24 hours. The fragmentation test was carried out using a TA.XT tensile meter manufactured by Stable Micro Systems equipped with a tensile module. The test piece was placed between jaws 1 cm from each side of the deposit during the tensile test, and then stress was applied at a constant speed of 300 mm / min until 100% deformation. The resistance to fragmentation was observed by eye and graded between 1 (the entire deposit is fragmented) and 5 (no cracks are present at all). Examples of the visual effects related to various scores are shown below.

[0428] Compositions outside the present invention containing only candelilla resin exhibit a lack of resistance in the presence of olive oil. Compositions outside the present invention containing only ethyl cellulose exhibit a lack of fragmentation resistance and are accompanied by a very high degree of cracking of deposits, which is synonymous with a lack of comfort for the skin.

[0429] Only the compositions of the present invention containing a combination of candelilla resin and ethyl cellulose simultaneously exhibit excellent dry friction resistance, good resistance in the presence of olive oil, and good crush resistance.

[0440] Examples 30 - 38 - Adhesion test Protocol for measuring adhesiveness The support used is a strip of "Supplale". It is a synthetic leather sheet (polyurethane adhesively bonded to a polyester - cotton fabric) that is white in color, has dimensions of 150 mm × 25 mm, and is sold under the name Supplale, code DFSUP15025B, supplier Soudotique. The product is deposited over a length of 10 cm on the Supplale strip using an applicator to obtain a uniform deposit (pass the applicator 4 times over the entire length and re - immerse the applicator in the product between passes). The support containing the sample is dried for 1 hour on a thermostat - controlled plate at 32°C and ambient RH (50% RH). Next, the test piece is placed on the base of a texture analyzer or on a metal plate provided with double - sided adhesive tape to hold the test piece. Adhesiveness is measured using a TAXT2 plus texture analyzer. A spindle (tip) containing a fixed white circle Supplale® with a diameter of 20 mm is placed on the texture analyzer.

[0441] The parameters of the compressibility test with hold over time are as follows: approach speed (or pre-speed): 1 mm / second; speed (starting from detection of contact): 0.5 mm / second; force: 800 g; hold time: 5 seconds; return speed (or post-speed): 40 mm / second.

[0442] Adhesiveness is characterized by the amount of peel work measured during unloading (tensile phase), which corresponds to the integral of the curve under the time axis. This amount of work is expressed positively in joules per square meter. The lower the measured work value, the lower the adhesiveness of the deposit.

[0443] [Table 10]

[0444] The determined limit of adhesiveness is 1.5 J / m 2 . Above that, the deposit becomes perceptibly adhesive.

[0445] All deposits show lack of adhesiveness after drying the film (in 60 minutes). The test results in the above table show that the films deposited from each of the compositions according to the invention do not have an adhesion effect (0.12 J / m 2 ).

[0446] Examples 39 and 40 - Other examples of the compositions according to the invention The product is deposited on the forearm over a 3 cm × 3 cm area using a dipping applicator (for lips). The ease of spreading, regeneration time and uniformity are evaluated qualitatively. Keep the product dry until it is completely dry (about 5 - 10 minutes). The dry resistance is evaluated visually after contact with the tissue (intensity of the mark). The resistance to olive oil is evaluated after adding a drop of olive oil to the deposit (spreading the oil manually over the entire surface of the deposit). Next, the resistance to olive oil is evaluated visually after contact with the tissue (intensity of the mark).
