Description

COSMETIC KIT FOR NAIL POLISH REMOVAL. Industrial property rights reserved QfrRLnn / zznz / e / Yi Part of the description in this application contains material subject to industrial property rights protection. The owner of these rights has no objection to the reproduction by facsimile of the patent document or the application description by any person as it appears in the file of the Patent and Trademark Office, but otherwise reserves all industrial property rights. TECHNICAL FIELD This patent application pertains to the cosmetic field, specifically to the field of nail polish removal. General background There are various products on the market designed to remove nail polish, ranging from wipes and brushes to rigid containers with different components for this purpose. Most of these products must be purchased separately, have a limited shelf life, generate non-biodegradable solid waste after use, and their components remain effective for a limited time. One of the objectives of this application is to facilitate the removal of nail polish by integrating all these components into a single product. Another objective of this application is to modify, facilitate and improve the end user experience when removing nail polish. To achieve this goal, the inventors have brought together in a single product, such as a kit, various components that, from an individual perspective, already have characteristics that give them advantages over items that could have similar functionalities, but which, together and through a method of application, significantly improve the end user's experience during nail polish removal. BACKGROUND OF THE STATE OF THE ART Within the previously established technical field, various cosmetic kits for similar uses have been found; it should be noted, for example, that each of the components that make up these kits is different and has different purposes with respect to those of the present application. The prior art is cited below. QfrRLnn / zznz / e / Yi Document EP1679096 (TERESCHOUK, 12 / JUL / 2006) describes a hand applicator (1) for encapsulated liquids, such as cosmetic, hygiene, and pharmaceutical formulations or household chemicals of varying viscosities. TERESCHOUK describes that a capsule (2) can be permanently or elastically fixed within the applicator (1). A waterproof glove applicator (13) for applying hazardous substances is also described. In this case, the functions of the TERESCHOUK hand applicator might appear similar to those of the present application; however, when comparing the nature of each component with those of the present application, it becomes clear that the differences lead to the resolution of different technical problems. For example, as will be seen later, the capsule of the present application requires the impermeable containment of acetone-soluble or acetone-containing compounds. QfrRLnn / zznz / e / Yi Document US3592202 (JONES, July 13, 1971) describes a nail polish kit in the form of a thin tube consisting essentially of a pair of fountain brushes connected by a rigid sleeve of metal or other material and designed to hold cotton, gauze, or other suitable clean material, preferably of the absorbent type. To appreciate the differences between the JONES kit and the kit in this application, please refer to Figures 1 through 7 of that document. The essence of the description of the parts, and therefore the chemical and physical nature of each component that constitutes the JONES kit, is diametrically opposed to each component of the kit presented in this application. Document US20030127104 (TYRE, July 23, 2019) describes a nail polish removal system. This system consists of multiple pads impregnated with a nail polish remover solvent and contained within a receptacle. To appreciate the differences between TYRE's system and the one in this patent application, please refer to Figures 1 and 2. The fundamental components of TYRE's system are diametrically opposed to each component of the kit proposed in this application. US20190365077 (MOR et al 05 / DEC / 2019) describes a capsule integrated into a nail polish application element for use with a nail polish application apparatus comprising a capsule compartment and a pressure application element. The capsule comprises a container defining a reservoir for holding nail polish fluid. The container comprises an upper face with an opening sealed by a sliding seal and a lower face in which a volume of the reservoir is reduced and internal pressure is created in the reservoir when pressure is applied, sliding the sliding seal toward the lower face. The container housing comprises a body portion shaped to receive and accommodate the container. (See abstract and Fig. 1A). QfrRLnn / zznz / e / Yi It is important to highlight that MOR, even though it is in the same field, such as cosmetics, indicates components for coating and not for the removal of coatings or nail varnishes. The applicator and capsule referred to have characteristics and functions different from those of this application. The MOR capsule is contained within a vessel made of materials ranging from polymer to metal or glass. The capsule in the MOR kit appears to have a similar function to that of the present kit; however, both the chemical nature of the materials used to manufacture the capsule and the nature of the materials it contains are different. The MOR applicator, as is typical in this technical field, is a brush. With regard to the state of the art, a large part of nail polish removal kits comprise a) a pear-shaped bottle containing b) a nail polish remover and c) a brush-shaped applicator; the following prior art references are cited, for example[1]: QfrRLnn / zznz / e / Yi State of the art that satisfies the indicated subparagraphs a), b) and c) [1j Publication number YEAR Title US2004190974 (CANTONE et al.) 09 / 30 / 2004 Container with separate compartments for containing, storing and dispensing products. US4440181 (SCHERER) 04 / 03 / 1984 Nail polish remover kit US2006076029 (BARCLAY) 04 / 13 / 2006 Nail polish remover kit US2008142405 (KNAPP et al.) 06 / 19 / 2008 Nail polish remover implement kit The state of the art with the characteristics described does not affect the subject matter claimed in this patent application. US patent 5063057 (SPELLMAN et al., November 5, 1991) describes a cosmetic product that stores a cosmetic composition in a capsule. The capsule has a round body with a hollow chamber forming the main portion, a tab forming a smaller portion, and a neck section connecting the tab to the round body. By twisting, the neck can be broken to release the cosmetic composition from inside the chamber. SPELLMAN's applications are generally cosmetic, but differ in their specificity, such as nail polish removers, and are focused on the capsule's shape. None of the cited references mention the essential specifications of the present invention. Among the advantages observed in this cosmetic kit are, among others, that it is a package that is very easy to handle and store, it is efficient, and it combines all the necessary elements for nail polish removal into a single disposable product. Other advantages of this cosmetic kit are listed below; it is made up of containment components that provide a long shelf life, the breakage or collapse of any of its components prevents the formation of pieces that could cause harm to the user, and a good part of them are biodegradable. It is important to note that the stability during its shelf life is due to the fact that, as a result of its arrangement, the components are inactive and the interaction of said components takes place during its use, since the composition of the nail polish remover is in separate compartments and configured to prolong its availability time and allow it to continue acting, resulting in a product that improves the user experience.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The subject matter described and claimed in this invention document specifically relates to a cosmetic kit for nail polish removal comprising: at least one friction component; a first polymeric container; a second polymeric container; and a solvent composition for nail polish removal; wherein the nail polish removal composition is contained within a modified gel capsule; wherein the composition for QfrRLnn / zznz / e / Yi enamel removal cannot be released if the modified gel capsule is not activated. DEFINITIONS Friction component In the present invention, the at least one friction component is one or more layers of open or closed textile, indicated by numeral (1) in Figure 1, such that said friction component facilitates the removal of nail polish by rubbing in conjunction with the nail polish removal composition contained in the modified gel capsules (3). As can be seen and in accordance with the above, it is the outermost enveloping layer and is also the component responsible for being in direct contact to provide friction during the use of the kit; it also has the function of enveloping the rest of the components. Therefore, it is one or more layers of open-weave or non-open-weave fabric, selected from the group of natural or synthetic fibers, including cellulose, cotton, polyester, and rayon fibers, and has a composition of between 1% and 100% cotton, or combinations thereof, preferably at least 50% cotton, or at least 80% cotton, and more preferably 100% cotton, and is made from a single strand. In one embodiment, it is an open-weave fabric with a thread count ranging from 18 standing threads x 8 weft threads to 28 standing threads x 26 weft threads. Preferred embodiments of the open-weave fabric are 20 x 12 and more preferably 24 x 22. Another function of the friction component formed by the open-weave layer is that, in its QfrRLnn / zznz / e / Yi folded configuration, envelops all the kit components, without being a package and, additionally, has the function of being in direct contact with the enamel to be removed, once it has been impregnated with the removal composition. In another embodiment of the present invention, a second friction component comprises an additional layer of raw cotton. Figures 2 and 4 show the cosmetic kit in its folded or wrapped configuration. The second friction component optionally provides greater rubbing force (see Figure 5). It is a textile fiber, selected from polyester, rayon, or cotton. In another configuration, raw cotton is used—that is, untreated cotton—which partially absorbs the nail polish removal solution. This partial absorption serves two purposes: preventing the liquid from spilling when one of the polymer containers or capsules breaks, as will be discussed later, and allowing the solution to be released and come into contact with the polished nail. In this configuration, the second friction component is in direct contact with the first friction component, from the outside in, and when present, it also contributes to the enveloping function. This cosmetic kit, once wrapped or in its folded configuration, substantially forms a QfrRLnn / zznz / e / Yi spheroidal or swab pattern; see figures 2 and 4, and inside it contains a first polymeric container. During the manufacturing process of the friction component, in any of its forms, a fold is made to allow it to wrap around all the components that make up the cosmetic kit. See figures 2 and 4. The movement during its use is similar to sharpening a pencil with a pencil sharpener. QfrRLnn / zznz / e / Yi The first friction component is made from at least one layer of open-weave or non-open-weave fabric (1), which wraps around a first polymer container. This container, in turn, separately contains a second polymer container and a plurality of capsules with the solvent or nail polish removal composition. As shown in Figure 1, the open-weave fabric layer is positioned above the first polymer container, and the remaining components of the cosmetic kit of the present invention are placed inside it. The first polymer container is then placed on top, and the entire assembly is folded into a sack-like shape and secured with an elastomer. The complete kit, without packaging, is approximately the size of a golf ball or smaller. Composition for enamel removal The encapsulated substance is a nail polish removal composition, a combination of nail polish solvents. Its characteristic feature is its solubility in acetone or the presence of acetone. The inventors have found a favorable interaction for containment within the modified gel capsule when the nail polish removal composition comprises: butyl acetate (n-butyl acetate) in amounts ranging from 70 to 85%, biodegradable aliphatic polyester from 15 to 25%, aqueous cactus extract from 1 to 3%, propylene glycol (PPG) from 0.1 to 0.5%, sesame oil (Sesamum indicum oleus) from 0.1 to 0.5%, coconut oil (Cocos nucifera oleus) from 0.1 to 0.5%, and sweet almond oil (Prunus amygdalus dulcis oleus) from 0.1 to 0.5%. Preferably butyl acetate (n-butyl acetate) in ranges from 70 to 80%, biodegradable aliphatic polyester from 18 to 24%, aqueous cactus extract from 1 to 3%, propylene glycol from 0.1 to 0.5%, sesame oil from 0.1 to 0.5%, coconut oil 0.1 to 0.5%, and sweet almond oil 0.1 to 0.5%; and more preferably 77% butyl acetate, 20.0% biodegradable aliphatic polyester, 2% aqueous cactus extract, 0.25% PPG, 0.25% sesame oil, 0.25% coconut oil, and 0.25% sweet almond oil. This composition also has, under certain conditions, the ability to remove semi-permanent nail polish. QfrRLnn / zznz / e / Yi In another formulation, the enamel removal composition comprises acetone in ranges from 65 to 75%, propanol from 5 to 20%, water from 0 to 5% and glycerin from 2 to 9%, preferably in proportions of 75% acetone, 15% propanol, 2% water and 8% glycerin. The previously mentioned compositions, in combination with the friction component, have excellent results in terms of the number of rubbing strokes on the nail, decreasing the contact time of the composition for nail polish removal, compared to currently marketed products, which is an advantage, since it prevents dehydration or excessive dryness around the nails. QfrRLnn / zznz / e / Yi In optional formulations related to the previous variant, vitamin E is included at 2%, replacing the corresponding 2% less acetone. In another, not necessarily preferred, formulation, the enamel removal component is 100% acetone. In Figure 1, the enamel removal composition is located inside the capsule of the modified gel indicated by the number (3). First polymeric container The first polymer container is a component made from a material selected from either polyethylene film or biodegradable plastic film. This first polymer container has a sack-like structure, within which a second polymer container and at least one modified gel capsule, up to a plurality of such capsules, are physically separated. This separation prevents physical contact between the components, thus preventing spontaneous (uncontrolled) release of the nail polish removal compound, which directly benefits the product by increasing shelf life. While the first polymer container is designed to be collapsible, it must exhibit greater resistance to breakage compared to the second polymer container described below.In another embodiment, the first polymeric container may have one or more perforations that, when using the kit of the present invention, allow the enamel removal composition to flow out and come into contact with the friction component. In Figure 1, the first polymeric container is indicated by the numeral (2). Second polymer container This is a container of a different chemical nature than the first polymeric container. Because this second container is intended to be collapsible, breakable, and / or tearable, the chosen material comprises a thermoformable film structure of polyamide / ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) / polyethylene (AMILEN MLX 130®). Alternatively, it may be a biodegradable polymer. Its function is to contain an activating agent, which in this case is a polar solvent, preferably water. It has lower tear resistance compared to the first polymeric container mentioned in the previous section. In this regard, the end user has the ability to activate the coating on the surface of the modified gel capsule, which is referred to below; this ability is achieved by breaking the first and second polymeric containers during use of the cosmetic kit of the invention in order to bring the modified gel capsules into contact with the activation agent. In Figure 1, the second polymeric container is indicated by the numeral (4). Modified gel capsule. One problem the inventors faced was achieving waterproof encapsulation of any of the compositions. 13 QfrRLnn / zznz / e / Yi for enamel removal indicated above, given the polarity and solubility of its components, which is reflected in its behavior as a solvent, and where, as seen above, in any of the indicated modalities, the composition presents a solubility in acetone and, therefore, has the function of a solvent. Given the above, a technician in the field will appreciate the enormous difficulty of containing a composition of this nature using conventional gel capsules, since these capsules are incapable of containing a composition with the high volatility, density, and solubility properties mentioned previously. This makes its commercialization unfeasible due to the short shelf life. One containment measure for compositions such as those described in this application could focus on changing the materials used to manufacture the capsule, for example, glass or rigid plastics. However, the breakage or collapse of such materials could result in the formation of fragments with sharp edges that could harm the user. An inherent advantage of including a modified gel capsule is that it allows for the removal of nail polish without compromising the user's physical safety. In that sense, at least one capsule of the kit, which contains the nail polish removal composition described in this application, is a component that is also destroyed, collapses or breaks under manual pressure; its physicochemical nature must simultaneously satisfy the storage capacity without degradation and the impermeable containment QfrRLnn / zznz / e / Yi of the composition for nail polish removal, as well as the ability to break or collapse when the cosmetic kit is to be used by the end user. Achieving the physicochemical stabilization that satisfies these requirements is initially estimated to be significantly complex. The capsule of the present invention fulfills these requirements. It is important to note that, despite its analogous nature, the application of this type of capsule differs fundamentally from that of pharmaceutical capsules; that is, it must exhibit opposite functionalities. For example, due to its low solubility and impermeability, the capsule of this application, even without any internal composition, should not be ingested. The capsule must, on the one hand, contain the enamel removal composition throughout its shelf life and, on the other hand, respond to the activation and subsequent release of the same composition when desired by the end user. To achieve this, a modified gel capsule was developed. The characteristics of the modified gel capsule are described below: In a preferred form, it is an animal-based gel capsule for the preparation of a gelatin capsule. Additionally, the capsule has a content of between 0 and 5% TiO2, preferably less than 3% TiO2, preferably greater than 0% TiO2 and most preferably between 2.5 and 3% TiO2, the remainder being gelatin. QfrRLnn / zznz / e / Yi In one embodiment, the inventors have found a combination of gelatin coating with functional pectin in the preparation of a capsule. In this embodiment, the capsule is coated with HM (high methoxyl) pectin, also known as fast-acting pectin; the capsule is coated with a solution in the following proportion: 0.5 to 1.5 g of HM pectin dissolved in 5 to 10 ml of demineralized water at room temperature, preferably 0.5 g to less than 1 g of HM pectin dissolved in 8 ml of demineralized water at room temperature. QfrRLnn / zznz / e / Yi In this case, it is important to note that the presence of TiO2 enhances the capsule's impermeability. In this instance, and without intending to establish or contradict any theory, the interaction of the pectin coating on the animal-based gelatin capsule with TiO2 achieves the desired behavior of the modified gel capsule. In Figure 1, at least one modified gel capsule is indicated by the number (3). Activation agent Various experimental tests led to the selection of a polar solvent as the activating agent for the modified gel capsules. As described above, a conventional gelatin capsule (such as those used in pharmaceutical applications) cannot contain an acetone-soluble or acetone-containing nail polish removal composition. However, according to the present invention, by functionally modifying the capsule with a pectin coating, the modified gel capsule is configured to do so. This coating enhances the capsule's capacity to contain components with solvent properties, such as those described in the section on nail polish removal compositions. Given the opposing behavior between containment and controlled release, the coating on the gel capsule plays a crucial role, since, during use of the kit of the present invention, it is activated by direct contact with the activating agent. Upon contact between the activating agent and the modified gel capsule, the coating softens, facilitating its collapse or rupture when subjected to manual pressure. This releases the enamel removal compound and allows for control over the duration of its effectiveness, as the capsules can be broken sequentially rather than simultaneously; that is, the modified gel capsules can be broken according to the user's requirements. As previously mentioned, the activating agent is a polar solvent, preferably water. How to use or apply Having stated the above, the present invention also describes a method for removing nail polish using the cosmetic kit of claim 1, the method comprising the steps of: i) manually press from the outside on the friction component until the first and second polymeric containers rupture to release the activating agent; QfrRLnn / zznz / e / Yi ii) contact the activating agent with the surface of at least one modified gel capsule for the release of the enamel removal composition. iii) impregnate the friction component with the nail polish removal composition, iv) bring the impregnated friction component from the previous step into contact with the nail polish and v) Rub firmly until the enamel is removed. Therefore, the cosmetic kit for nail polish removal of the present invention brings together in a single product: at least one open or closed textile friction component, substantially forming a spheroidal or swab pattern; in some embodiments, it comprises the inclusion of a second friction component; at least two polymeric containers of different natures; at least one and up to a plurality of modified gel capsules containing an acetone-soluble nail polish removal composition; wherein the capsule is configured to contain said nail polish removal composition and, once in contact with the activating agent, to release the removal composition. Given the nature of the materials used in this kit, it offers several advantages, such as its lightness, ease of handling, extended shelf life, disposability, and portability. The complete kit, including the friction component, polymer containers, activating agent, and several modified gel capsules inside the component, occupies approximately the space of a golf ball or less. QfrRLnn / zznz / e / Yi The impermeability of the modified gel capsule with pectin coating promotes an increased shelf life of the cosmetic kit. Enclosed in the friction component, the first polymeric container has a sac structure, inside of which are physically separated, a second polymeric container and from at least one modified gel capsule to a plurality of such capsules. By breaking the second polymeric container during the use of the cosmetic kit of the invention, the modified gel capsules are brought into contact with the activating agent. As noted above, at least one capsule of the kit, which contains the described nail polish removal composition, is a component that is also destroyed, collapses, or breaks under manual pressure, where, through the use of the cosmetic kit of the present invention, nail polish removal is facilitated and the contact time with the composition is reduced. EXAMPLES After several tests were carried out, the results obtained in enamel removal were given under the following conditions: Example 1. Through tests implemented by the inventors, the mass of the modified gel capsule was homogenized. The mass measurement of said capsule is standardized between 0.15 and QfrRLnn / zznz / e / Yi 0.2 grams, preferably 0.17 g with a length of one inch. To achieve the above and after various tests were carried out, a capsule with animal-based gelatin was chosen, with a content of between 0 and 5% TiO2, preferably less than 3% TiO2, preferably greater than 0% TiO2 and more preferably between 2.5 and 3% TiO2, and it is coated with an HM pectin coating in aqueous solution with the following proportion: from 0.5 to 1.5 g of HM pectin dissolved in a range of between 5 and 10 ml of demineralized water at room temperature, and preferably 1 g of HM pectin dissolved in 8 ml of demineralized water at room temperature. Example 2. A plurality of modified gel capsules, as described in Example 1, were filled with a quantity of an enamel removal composition. This composition comprises acetone in proportions ranging from 65 to 75%, propanol from 5 to 20%, water from 0 to 5%, and glycerin from 2 to 9%, preferably in proportions of 75% acetone, 15% propanol, 2% water, and 8% glycerin. Example 3. A plurality of modified gel capsules as described in Example 1 were placed inside a quantity of an enamel removal component, wherein said enamel removal component is 100% acetone. Example 4. Vitamin E was added to a plurality of modified gel capsules as described in Example 2, at a concentration of 2%. The composition under this optional modality comprises a proportion of acetone ranging from 65 to 73%, propanol from 5 to 20%, water from 0 to 5%, glycerin from 2 to 9%, and vitamin E. QfrRLnn / zznz / e / Yi E from 0 to 2% and preferably in proportions of acetone 73%, propanol 15%, water 2%, vitamin E 2% and glycerin 8%. QfrRLnn / zznz / e / Yi Example 5. A plurality of modified gel capsules, as described in Example 1, were filled with a quantity of a nail polish removal composition. This composition comprises a proportion of infant butyl acetate (butyl acetate) in the range of 65 to 80%, biodegradable aliphatic polyester of 15 to 25%, aqueous cactus extract of 1 to 3%, propylene glycol of 0.1 to 0.5%, sesame oil of 0.1 to 0.5%, coconut oil of 0.1 to 0.5%, and sweet almond oil of 0.1 to 0.5%. Example 6. A plurality of modified gel capsules, as described in Example 1, were filled with a quantity of an enamel removal composition. This composition comprises 77% butyl acetate, 20.0% biodegradable aliphatic polyester, 2% aqueous cactus extract, 0.25% PPG, 0.25% sesame oil, 0.25% coconut oil, and 0.25% sweet almond oil. Example 7. A plurality of modified gel capsules, as indicated in Example 1, were placed inside with an amount of an enamel removal component as stipulated in Examples 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. The amount of such composition inside the modified gel capsules is in the range of 0.7 to 1.115 grams. Example 8. A second layer of pectin was applied to a plurality of modified gel capsules as indicated in Example 1, after a resting time of between 5 and 8 minutes between the application of the first and second layers; an amount of an enamel removal component was placed inside, as stipulated in Examples 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. The amount of such composition inside the modified gel capsules is in the range of 0.7 to 1.115 grams. RESULTS To determine that the capsule included in the cosmetic kit of the present invention meets the criteria for impermeable containment of the nail polish removal composition and the ability to break or collapse when used by the user, mass measurement tests were performed on pectin-coated gelatin capsules (or modified gel capsules) containing the nail polish removal composition. The following results were obtained: Tests were conducted as described in Example 2, and the corresponding data for capsule mass over time were recorded. See Table 1 and Figure 6. These measurements show a decrease in mass, which could be interpreted as a reduction in the enamel removal composition. However, in practical terms, this reduction is not significant, and after one week, the mass remains constant. The resulting capsules meet the impermeability criteria for storage.

Tests were conducted according to the procedures outlined in Examples 2 and 8, and the corresponding data for capsule mass over time were recorded. See Table 2 and Figure 7.

However, in practical terms, this reduction is not significant, and after one week, the mass remains constant and stable. The resulting capsules meet the impermeability criteria for storage.

Mass variation as a function of elapsed time. Two layers of pectin on the gelatin capsule. According to Tables 1 and 2, as well as Figures 6 and 7, it can be seen that, both in the tests with one layer of pectin and in the tests with two layers of pectin, the impermeability behavior is representatively constant and stable. Furthermore, tests were conducted in accordance with Examples 5 and 6, with measurements and records of the initial mass (Mo) in grams at the time of loading the modified gel capsules with the enamel removal composition. Subsequently, mass measurements were taken at 30 and 60 days, corresponding to Mi and M2. As can be seen in Table 3, the loss due to evaporation of the enamel removal composition is practically negligible. The loss noted in tests XIV and XV of Table 3 was due to accidental cracking of the modified gel capsule.
