Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a composition comprising a glycolipid, a polylysine and a polyol, and a cosmetic method using the composition. [Background technology]

[0002] Skin cleansing is very important for facial care and must be as effective as possible, since fatty residues, such as excess sebum, residues of daily cosmetic and makeup products, can accumulate in the wrinkles of the skin and clog the skin pores, resulting in the appearance of age spots.

[0003] The formulation of environmentally compatible cosmetics, designed and developed with environmental issues in mind, has become a major goal in the pursuit of meeting global challenges, and it is therefore essential to propose more sustainable compositions, preparation methods and ingredients to address these environmental issues.

[0004] In this context, it is important to develop new cosmetic compositions, such as new cleansing compositions, that have a better carbon footprint, in particular by promoting the use of renewable raw materials and / or materials with a good naturalness index and / or materials of natural origin.

[0005] Biosurfactants such as glycolipids, particularly rhamnolipids, are naturally occurring materials known to have unique biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and antibacterial effects. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[Non-Patent Document 11] CTFA International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary & Handbook, 15th Edition, 2014 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0008] There is a need for compositions that can provide deposition to keratinous materials, such as skin, that include glycolipids.

[0009] However, when using certain types of compositions, such as cleansing compositions containing glycolipids, it is difficult for the glycolipids to remain on the keratinous material when the composition is rinsed off with water.

[0010] Additionally, if the composition has a low viscosity, it may drip off the hands during use, which is not useful, and therefore application of the composition onto keratinous materials such as skin may be impractical for consumers.

[0011] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a composition that can be easily applied to keratinous materials such as skin, while still providing good glycolipid deposition on the keratinous material, even when the composition is rinsed off with water.

[0017] The mass ratio of the amount of (a) glycolipid to the amount of (b) cationic polymer in the composition according to the present invention may be 1 or more, preferably 2 or more, and more preferably 3 or more.

[0018] (c) The polyol may have 5 or more, preferably 6 or more, hydroxyl groups.

[0019] (c) The polyol is more preferably selected from sugar alcohols, and even more preferably selected from the group consisting of sorbitol, mannitol, and mixtures thereof.

It also relates to beauty methods, including: DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0026] After extensive investigation, the present inventors have discovered that it is possible to provide a composition that can be easily applied to keratinous materials such as skin, while still providing good glycolipid deposition on the keratinous material, even when the composition is rinsed off with water.

[0027] Thus, the composition according to the invention comprises: (a) at least one glycolipid; (b) at least one cationic polymer selected from polylysine; (c) at least one polyol; Including, The amount of (c) polyol in the composition is 1% by mass or more, preferably 2% by mass or more, and more preferably 2.5% by mass or more, based on the total mass of the composition.

[0028] Compositions according to the present invention can have a relatively higher viscosity and can provide a glycolipid-containing deposit on keratinous materials such as skin.

[0029] The composition according to the present invention can have a relatively higher viscosity.Therefore, the composition according to the present invention is less likely to drip from hands when used.Accordingly, the composition according to the present invention is easy to handle, and therefore, the composition can be easily applied to keratinous materials such as skin.

[0030] (c) Polyols can function as thickeners in compositions according to the present invention.

[0031] Additionally, due to their relatively high viscosity, compositions according to the present invention may be suitable for being pumped out of a container.

[0032] Furthermore, the composition according to the present invention can provide good deposition of (a) glycolipids onto keratinous materials such as skin. Deposition can be provided, for example, by a precipitate containing (a) glycolipids formed in the composition according to the present invention when the composition is rinsed off the keratinous materials with water.

[0033] Preferred embodiments of compositions according to the present invention are capable of providing increased deposition or deposition on keratinous materials such as skin.

[0034] Because glycolipids such as rhamnolipids have biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and antibacterial effects, the (a) glycolipid-containing deposit provided by the composition according to the invention may be useful in the care of keratinous materials such as skin. In particular, the composition according to the invention may be useful in the treatment or care of acne-prone skin.

[0035] Since glycolipids can function as (anionic) surfactants, (a) deposits containing glycolipids can also provide enhanced cleansing effects, and therefore compositions according to the invention may also be useful for cleansing keratinous materials such as skin.

[0036] (a) Glycolipids are naturally occurring, may be renewable materials, and are biodegradable.

[0106] Polylysine corresponds to the condensation of several amino acids with lysine. Polylysine can be a natural homopolymer of L-lysine that can be produced by bacterial fermentation. Polylysine is typically used as a natural preservative in food. Polylysine is a polyelectrolyte that is soluble in polar solvents such as water.

[0107] Polylysine may be, for example, epsilon-polylysine (also referred to as "ε-polylysine"), which is a condensation product of the amino group at the ε-position of lysine with a carboxyl group, or alpha-polylysine (also referred to as "α-polylysine"), which is a condensation product of the amino group at the α-position of lysine with a carboxyl group. Polylysine is commercially available in various forms such as poly-D-lysine and poly-L-lysine. Polylysine is generally a condensation product of L-lysine, i.e., poly-L-lysine.

[0108] Examples of polylysines include: - epsilon-poly-L-lysine from JNC CORPORATION, which is a 25% solution of epsilon-poly-L-lysine having a molecular weight of about 4,700 in an aqueous solution; and - Polylysine from Shandong Freda Biotechnology Co., Ltd., in the form of a white to creamy yellow powder and with a molecular weight between 4,130 and 5,776.

[0109] According to a particular embodiment, the polylysine may be modified polylysine, such as polylysine with aliphatic chains as described in patent application FR 2889448, polylysine with guanidine or biguanidine functional groups as described in patent application FR 2851465, or thiolated polylysine as described in patent application FR 2853533.

[0110] Polylysine may be in the form of an organic salt or inorganic salt. Acid addition salts include, for example, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, citric acid, succinic acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, para-toluenesulfonic acid, phosphoric acid, and acetate salts, or fatty acid salts such as linoleic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, behenic acid, and 18-methyleicosanoic acid. Base addition salts include, for example, sodium salts, calcium salts, and hydroxyalkylamine salts, such as N-methylglucamine, aminopropanediol, and triethanolamine.
