Whistler, 2nd ed., published by Academic Press Inc. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, conventional "multi-use" cosmetics are not sufficient in terms of cosmetic texture. For example, even if such "multi-use" cosmetics can provide a texture that is satisfactory for use on hair, the cosmetics tend to provide a texture that is not satisfactory for use on skin.

[0006] In particular, compositions for treating beards require a satisfactory texture for both use on the hair and on the skin, since the composition will be applied simultaneously to both the facial hair and the generally sensitive skin of the face.

[0007] It is an object of the present invention to provide a means for treating beards which is capable of imparting a pleasing texture. [Means for solving the problem]

[0022] After extensive research, the inventors have discovered that it is possible to provide a means for treating beard which is capable of imparting a pleasing texture.

[0023] The pleasing texture may include at least one selected from the group consisting of smooth, easy to run fingers through, less sticky, less greasy, less heavy, moist feel, and combinations thereof.

[0024] The present invention therefore relates to the use of a composition for treating beards, the composition comprising: (a) at least one non-silicone volatile oil; (b) at least one non-silicone non-volatile oil; (c) at least one silicone; (d) Water and Including, (c) the amount of silicone is 1.0% by mass to 5.0% by mass, preferably 1.5% by mass to 4.0% by mass, and more preferably 2.0% by mass to 3.0% by mass, relative to the total mass of the composition; Primarily relating to use.

[0025] The use according to the invention makes it possible to impart a pleasing texture when treating the beard.

[0027] The compositions according to the invention may also impart a pleasing texture when treating the beard.

[0028] Furthermore, the use and composition according to the invention may have good beard styling ability or good manageability for beard hair, so that it may be easy to shape the beard into a desired style with the use or composition according to the invention.

[0029] Additionally, beard hairs can fall apart rather than clumping or sticking together.

[0030] Since the use or composition according to the present invention can provide good texture for both facial hair and facial skin, it is not necessary to carry out multiple cosmetic treatments for facial hair and facial skin, respectively. Therefore, cosmetic treatment for beard can be simplified by the use or composition according to the present invention.

[0031] Furthermore, the use or composition according to the present invention can also provide good texture for both hair (not only beard) and skin applications. Therefore, it is not necessary to carry out multiple cosmetic treatments for hair and skin, respectively. Therefore, cosmetic treatments for hair and skin can be simplified by using cosmetics containing the composition according to the present invention.

[0075] Among these silicone oils, two types of oils can be distinguished, depending on whether they contain phenyl or not: thus, the non-volatile silicone oils can be chosen from non-phenylated silicone oils and phenylated silicone oils.

[0076] Representative examples of these non-volatile, non-phenylated silicone oils that may be mentioned are polydimethylsiloxanes (dimethicones), alkyl dimethicones, vinyl methyl methicones and also silicones modified with aliphatic groups, optionally fluorinated, or with functional groups such as hydroxyl, thiol and / or amine groups.

[0077] Among the non-volatile non-phenylated silicone oils that may be mentioned are thus: - PDMS containing alkyl or alkoxy groups, pendant and / or at the end of silicone chains, said groups each containing from 2 to 24 carbon atoms; - PDMS containing functional groups such as aliphatic groups or hydroxyl, thiol and / or amine groups, - polyalkylmethylsiloxanes optionally substituted with fluorinated groups, such as polymethyltrifluoropropyldimethylsiloxane; - polyalkylmethylsiloxanes substituted with functional groups such as hydroxyl, thiol and / or amine groups, for example dihydroxydimethylsiloxane (dimethiconol); - polysiloxanes modified with fatty acids, fatty alcohols or polyoxyalkylenes, - A mixture of these.

[0169] Among the starches that may be used, mention may be made, for example, of macromolecules in the form of polymers containing base units that are anhydroglucose units. The number of these units and their assembly make it possible to distinguish between amylose (a linear polymer) and amylopectin (a branched polymer). The relative proportions of amylose and amylopectin, as well as their degree of polymerization, may vary depending on the plant origin of the starch.

[0170] The starch molecules used may have cereal or tuber origins as their botanical origin, and thus the starches may be chosen, for example, from maize, rice, cassava, tapioca, barley, potato, wheat, sorghum and pea starches.

[0171] Starch generally exists in the form of a cold water insoluble white powder, the primary particle size of which ranges from 3 to 100 microns.

[0172] The starch may optionally be C1-C6 hydroxyalkylated or C1-C6 acylated (e.g. acetylated). The starch may also be subjected to a heat treatment.

[0173] Distarch phosphate or compounds rich in distarch phosphate can also be used, such as the products offered by the company AVEBE under the references PREJEL VA-70-T AGGL (gelatinized hydroxypropylated cassava distarch phosphate), or PREJEL TK1 (gelatinized cassava distarch phosphate), or PREJEL 200 (gelatinized acetylated cassava distarch phosphate).

[0174] The guar gum may be modified or unmodified.

[0175] Unmodified guar gums are, for example, the products sold under the names Vidogum GH 175 by the company Unipectine and Meypro-Guar 50 and Jaguar C by the company Meyhall.
