Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a W / O composition for caring for keratinous substances, preferably a cosmetic W / O composition. The present invention also relates to a cosmetic method for treating and / or caring for keratinous substances.

Background Art

[0002] In the cosmetic field, water-in-oil emulsions (W / O emulsions), also called reverse emulsions, are particularly highly evaluated by consumers with respect to their cosmetic properties, especially with respect to the pleasantness of their application compared to "direct" water-in-oil emulsions, and are therefore used in many cosmetics.

[0003] For example, WO2024 / 002744 discloses A) i) at least one C

[0004] ~C 22 dialkyl, ii) at least one ester mixture of a C8-C 10 carboxylic acid and an aliphatic alcohol derived from coconut oil, iii) at least one volatile hydrocarbon oil comprising a continuous oily phase, B) an aqueous phase dispersed in the oily phase, C) at least one emulsifying non-ionic surfactant which is polyethylene glycol dipolyhydroxystearate containing 30 mol of ethylene oxide (INCI name: PEG-30 polyhydroxystearate), D) - mineral pigments selected from titanium dioxide and iron oxide, either coated or uncoated, and mixtures thereof, - organic pigments, - nacreous pearlescent agents, and mixtures thereof selected from at least one powdery colorant, and discloses a silicone-free water-in-oil emulsion.

[0004] However, there is still a need to develop a cosmetic W / O composition having improved cosmetic properties such as improved spreadability, covering property, smoothness, and stability.

[0005] Moreover, the formulation of cosmetics designed and developed in consideration of environmental issues has become a major goal in aiming to meet global challenges. Therefore, it is essential to propose more sustainable compositions, preparation methods, and ingredients to address these environmental issues.

[0006] In this context, it is important to develop novel cosmetic compositions such as novel keratin care compositions having a better carbon footprint by promoting the use of renewable raw materials and / or materials having a good naturality index and / or materials of natural origin.

[0033] (Organic spherical filler) The composition according to the present invention comprises (a) at least one organic spherical filler. Two or more different types of (a) organic spherical fillers may be used in combination. Therefore, a single type of (a) organic spherical filler or a combination of different types of (a) organic spherical fillers can be used.

[0040] Among the starches that can be used, for example, are polymers in the form of polymers containing base units, which are anhydrous glucose units. The number of these units and their assemblies make it possible to distinguish between amylose (linear polymer) and amylopectin (branched polymer). The relative ratio of amylose to amylopectin, as well as their degree of polymerization, can vary depending on the plant origin of the starch.

[0041] The plant source of the starch molecules that may be used in the present invention may be grains or tubers. Therefore, the starch can be selected from, for example, corn starch, rice starch, cassava starch, barley starch, potato starch, wheat starch, sorghum starch, and pea starch.

Examples include carboxymethylcellulose, carboxymethylmethylcellulose (e.g., Blanose 7M from Aqualon), and carboxymethylhydroxyethylcellulose, as well as their sodium salts.

[0053] Among cationic cellulose ethers, crosslinked or uncrosslinked quaternary hydroxyethylcellulose can be mentioned.

[0054] The quaternizing agent may be glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride or a fatty amine such as laurylamine or stearylamine. Another cationic cellulose ether that can be mentioned is hydroxyethylcellulose hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium.

[0064] "Average roundness" can be determined by image analysis methods. In particular, "average roundness" can be the arithmetic mean of roundness obtained by image analysis of scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of 1000 or more particles observed at 1000x magnification using secondary electron detection with a scanning electron microscope (SEM).

[0065] The "roundness" of each particle is given by the following formula: C = 4πS / L 2 (In the formula, C represents the roundness, S represents the area (projected area) of the particle in the image, and L represents the length of the perimeter (outer edge) of the particle in the image.) This value is determined by [the following factor]. As the average roundness approaches 1, the shape of each particle becomes more spherical.

[0066] The amount of (a) organic spherical filler in the composition according to the present invention may be 0.1% by mass or more, preferably 0.25% by mass or more, and more preferably 0.5% by mass or more, based on the total mass of the composition.

All numerical values ​​regarding the amount of components are based on the "mass%" of the active raw materials.

[0217] [evaluation] (Coverage) 20 mg of each composition was evenly applied by finger to a black and white bioskin (circular, 55 mm in size, normal & 20-year-old skin type, 5 T mm). After drying for 2 hours, the L* value was measured from each bioskin using a calorimeter (Konica Minolta CM-3600d, SCI mode), and the contrast ratio was calculated using the following formula.

[0218]

number

[0219] The average contrast ratio was calculated and ranked according to the following criteria. Excellent: Contrast ratio ≥ 35 Good: 30 < Contrast ratio ≤ 35 Normal: 25 < Contrast ratio ≤ 30 Defective: Contrast ratio ≤ 25

[0220] (Smoothness) Each composition was applied to the faces of the five panelists themselves, and their smoothness was evaluated. The panelists rated the smoothness on a scale of 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent). The average score was calculated and the compositions were ranked according to the following criteria. Excellent: 4.5<average≦5 Excellent: 4 < Average ≤ 4.5 Good: 3<average≦4 Normal: 2<average≦3 Defective: 1<average≦2

[0221] (Spreadability) Each composition was applied to the faces of the five panelists themselves, and its spreadability was evaluated. The panelists rated the spreadability on a scale of 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent). The average score was calculated and the compositions were ranked according to the following criteria. Excellent: 4.5<average≦5 Excellent: 4 < Average ≤ 4.5 Good: 3<average≦4 Normal: 2<average≦3 Defective: 1<average≦2

[0224] [Table 1]

[0225] [Table 2]

[0226] As shown in Table 1 and Table 2, the W / O compositions according to the present invention containing the combination of component (a) and component (b) exhibited improved cosmetic properties such as improved spreadability, coating property, smoothness, and stability.

[0227] On the other hand, the W / O compositions according to Comparative Examples 1 and 2, which did not contain a pigment coated with at least one glycerol fatty acid ester, could not exhibit improved smoothness and stability.
