Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a biphasic composition comprising a separate aqueous phase and an oily phase, the oily phase comprising a particular oil. The present invention also relates to the use of such a composition and to a method of removing makeup using such a composition. [Background technology]

[0002] Compositions consisting of two separate phases, particularly an aqueous phase and an oily phase, which are separate from each other at rest and are not emulsified, are generally referred to by the term "biphasic compositions." Biphasic compositions differ from emulsions in that, at rest, the two phases are separated, rather than emulsified, into each other. The use of these biphasic compositions requires prior stirring to form an emulsion, which must be of sufficient quality and stability to allow both phases to be uniformly applied to the skin or keratinous material to which the emulsion is applied. At rest, the phases must rapidly separate from each other and return to their original state, a phenomenon more commonly known as "phase separation" or "demixing."

[0003] Relatively rapid demixing of the two phases after use is one of the desired qualities of a biphasic composition. Indeed, achieving rapid phase separation is desirable for a variety of reasons, but in particular because poor separation of the two phases can be perceived as unsightly by the user and can lead to the product becoming "three-phase" over time during use.

[0004] Additionally, commercially available biphasic compositions, particularly used to remove make-up from the face, and especially from the eyes, contain cyclopentasiloxane. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, the cosmetics market is increasingly focused on compositions containing natural, more environmentally friendly compounds and / or compounds of biomass origin, and there is a particular need for cyclopentasiloxane-free compositions.

[0006] As a result, there remains a need for novel stable biphasic compositions consisting of two separate, immiscible phases, free of cyclopentasiloxane, with good demixing qualities while ensuring effective makeup removal. There is also a need for natural compositions. "Natural composition" means a cosmetic composition formulated primarily with natural ingredients and / or ingredients of natural origin. "Natural ingredients" means compounds obtained directly from the earth or soil, or from plants or animals, as applicable, by one or more physical processes, such as grinding, smelting, distillation, purification, or filtration. "Naturally derived" ingredients mean natural compounds that have been subjected to one or more chemical or related industrial processes that result in non-detrimental alterations to the compound's essential qualities, and / or compounds that primarily comprise natural ingredients, which may or may not have been subjected to the transformations listed above. [Means for solving the problem]

[0050] Unless otherwise specified, pressure in the examples is atmospheric pressure. [Example]

[0051] Example 1 Preparation of compositions according to the invention and comparative compositions 1. Experimental design conducted for four variables (i.e., oil content) % by weight based on the weight of the oily phase: Isododecane (QS) - Isopropyl palmitate (0-30%) - Isopropyl myristate (0-30%) - C15-C19 alkanes (0-35%)

[0052] - Oily phase formulation The four oils (variable content) are added to a beaker and homogenized over low heat for 20 minutes.

[0053] The compositions of the oily phase are shown below in Tables 2 to 5. In Tables 2 to 5, the percentages are by weight relative to the total weight of the oily phase.

[0054] - Aqueous phase formulation Aqueous phase composition

[0055] [Table 1]

[0056] The aqueous phase is prepared as follows. Add Phase A ingredients to a beaker and heat to 65° C. After 20 minutes of dispersion, add B ingredients (water must be cold) and disperse for 10 minutes.

[0057] - Integrated into a biphasic composition The densities of the two phases are measured.

[0058] To obtain a biphasic composition with a weight ratio of 85% aqueous phase / 15% oily phase, the following calculations are performed:

[0059]

number

[0060] For each phase, m 相 and pour the corresponding mass into the selected packaging.

[0061] Each of the following compositions is obtained by mixing the aqueous phase from Table 1 with the oily phase detailed below (Tables 2-5).

[0062] a. Height of oily phase (transparent) 45 seconds after stirring (centimeters) Protocol: Agitate the biphasic composition by swirling 10 times, then start the timer. After 45 seconds, measure the height of the demixed oily phase using a ruler. Target value: height 0.5 cm

[0063] b. Height of oily phase (transparent) 1 minute after stirring (centimeters) Protocol: Agitate the biphasic composition by swirling 10 times, then start the timer. After 1 minute, measure the height of the demixed oily phase using a ruler. Target height: 1.2cm

[0064] c. Presence of droplets of oily phase on the wall after 4 days of stirring Protocol: The biphasic composition is agitated 10 times by rotating each day for 5 days. The biphasic composition is allowed to stand for 24 hours, and then this procedure is repeated on subsequent days. On the fifth day, the biphasic composition is not agitated and is evaluated.

[0065] The presence of droplets of oily phase on the wall may be detected and annotated as follows: 0 = no droplets, 1 = very fine / sparse droplets, 2 = fine / few droplets, 3 = medium / more numerous droplets, 4 = large / numerous droplets Target value: 2 or less

[0066] d. Interface clarity after 4 days of stirring Protocol: The biphasic composition is stirred 10 times by rotating every day for 5 days. The biphasic composition is left to stand for 24 hours, and then this operation is repeated on the following days. On the fifth day, the biphasic composition is not stirred and is evaluated. The interface corresponds to the separation line between the aqueous phase and the oily phase.

[0067] If it is unstable, note it as follows: 1 = very blurred interface / large droplets, 2 = blurred interface / medium droplets, 3 = well-defined interface-sparse droplets, 4 = well-defined interface-some small droplets, 5 = well-defined interface Target value: 3 or more

[0068] Effect of C15-C19 alkane content

[0069] [Table 2]

[0070] After 45 seconds of stirring, the demixing rate of the two phases is evaluated by measuring the height of the oily phase. The target value is set at 0.5 cm. The target value is not achieved when a C15-C19 alkane is added to the composition (Comparative Example 1) or when the isododecane is completely replaced by a C15-C19 alkane (Comparative Example 2).

[0071] Therefore, the biphasic compositions and ternary mixtures according to the present invention must not contain any alkanes other than isododecane.

[0072] Effect of isopropyl myristate content

[0073] [Table 3]

[0074] The height of the oily phase after 1 minute of stirring and the presence of droplets on the wall after 4 days of stirring were evaluated.

[0075] If the isopropyl myristate content is strictly less than 8% or strictly more than 18%, the target value is not achieved.

[0076] Therefore, isopropyl myristate must be present in an amount of 8% to 18% by weight, based on the total weight of the oily phase.

[0077] Effect of isopropyl palmitate content

[0078] [Table 4]

[0079] The clarity of the interface after 4 days of stirring and the presence of droplets on the wall after 4 days of stirring were evaluated. If the isopropyl palmitate content is less than 10%, the target value for the presence of droplets is not achieved. If the content is more than 22%, the two target values ​​are not achieved.

[0080] Therefore, isopropyl palmitate must be present in an amount of 10% to 22% by weight, based on the total weight of the oily phase.

[0081] Effect of isododecane content

[0082] [Table 5]

[0083] The oily phase height after 45 seconds of stirring and the presence of droplets on the wall after 4 days of stirring were evaluated. If the isododecane content is less than 48%, the two target values ​​are not achieved. If the content is more than 82%, the target value for the presence of droplets is not achieved.

[0084] Therefore, isododecane must be present in an amount of 48% to 82% by weight, based on the total weight of the oily phase.

[0085] Isopropyl palmitate is especially essential for achieving a small number of droplets after 4 days of stirring. Isopropyl myristate is especially essential for achieving good demixing.

[0086] 2. Ratio effects Other ratios were tested with the following compositions (same oily phase composition, see below): 70% aqueous phase / 30% oily phase ratio, and · 56% aqueous phase / 44% oily phase ratio.

[0087] Aqueous phase composition The aqueous phase has the same composition as in Table 1.

[0088] Oily phase composition

[0089] [Table 6]

[0090] Testing different ratios

[0091] [Table 7]

[0092] At different ratios but the same phase composition, all tests are stable to the target value.

[0093] Example 2 Evaluation of compositions according to the present invention and comparative compositions The make-up removal effectiveness of different biphasic compositions (reference Invention 1 or 1', and Invention 2 or 2') is evaluated against foundation and mascara.

[0094] Foundation (FDT) application: 0.1 mL of Maybelline Fit Me Matte Pore less color 220 for each half of the face.

[0095] Mascara application: 30 coats of Voluminous Blackest Black mascara on the upper lashes.

[0096] Wait 30 minutes before removing makeup. For FDT, use five cotton balls soaked in 2 ml of the biphasic composition for each half of the face. Remove makeup from each part of the face. Wait five minutes, then apply 2 ml of Lancome Bifacil on cotton balls, using up to six cotton balls.

[0097] Count the number of Bifacil-soaked cotton balls needed to remove the residue.

[0098] For mascara, use three cotton balls soaked in 2 ml of the biphasic composition for each eye. Remove makeup from eyes. Wait 5 minutes, then apply 2 ml of Bifacil onto cotton balls, using up to six cotton balls.

[0099] Count the number of Bifacil-soaked cotton balls needed to remove the residue.

[0100] 1 / Tested formulation (85:15 ratio): Total phase composition + phase ratio

[0101] [Table 8]

[0102] result: The reference is 1 cotton pad for makeup removal for FDT and 1.5 cotton pads for mascara, while the two biphasic compositions according to the invention are 0 cotton pads for FDT and 1 cotton pad for mascara.

[0103] The two biphasic compositions according to the invention remove make-up better than the reference.

[0104] 2 / Tested formulation (70:30 ratio): Total phase composition + phase ratio

[0105] [Table 9]

[0106] result: The reference is 0 makeup removing cotton pads for FDT and 0.5 cotton pads for mascara, while the two biphasic compositions according to the invention are 0 cotton pads for FDT and 0 cotton pads for mascara.

[0107] The two biphasic compositions according to the invention remove make-up better than the reference.
