Description

Aqueous composition comprising a wax, a neutralized C12-C20monoalkyl phosphate, a liquid polyester derived from a diol dimer and from an unsaturated fatty acid dimer, a latex and a polyol

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of caring for and / or making up keratin materials, and is directed towards proposing compositions more particularly intended for making up the eyelashes or the eyebrows.

[0002] In general, compositions intended for making up keratin fibres, for example the eyelashes, aim to densify the thickness and the visual perception of the eyelashes and ultimately the look. These mascaras are described as aqueous or cream mascaras when they are formulated in an aqueous base, and anhydrous mascaras when they are formulated as a dispersion in an organic solvent medium.

[0003] A great diversity of cosmetic effects may be afforded by applying a mascara to keratin fibres and notably the eyelashes, for instance a volumizing, lengthening, thickening and more particularly charging makeup effect.

[0004] These effects are mostly adjusted through the amount and nature of the particles and most particularly those of the waxes present in the mascaras. In general, mascaras in fact have a significant amount of wax(es) and notably from 10% to 35% by weight of waxes, more generally from 15% to 30% by weight, relative to the total weight thereof.

[0005] For obvious reasons, improving mascara textures which determine the manifestation of one or more makeup effects is a constant preoccupation of cosmetic formulators.

[0006] Moreover, the specific effects associated with a particular formulation, for example charging and moreover providing excellent separation of the made-up eyelashes, are expected to be reproduced virtually identically by all the production batches of one and the same formulation.

[0007] In addition, consumer expectations are for a mascara with good wear performance, that is to say a mascara that withstands friction (absence of grains also called "flakes").Prior art

[0008] Aqueous mascaras comprising waxes, an anionic surfactant of stearic acid type, a latex and black iron oxides are known on the market:

[0009] - the commercial product Master Volume Mascara from Annabelle Cosmetics

[0010] (Mintel ID 9953346);

[0011] - the commercial product Volumizing & Curling Effects Mascara from KIKO

[0012] (Mintel ID 10903016);

[0013] - the product Limitless Mascara from EYEKO (Mintel ID 10323020)

[0014] - the product Double Lash Volumizing Mascara + Lash Grow from Emani

[0015] (Mintel ID 8158363)

[0016] In the course of its research, the applicant has found that these compositions were not entirely satisfactory in terms of the mechanical properties of the deposit of the product on keratin fibres, notably the resistance to flaking.

[0017] Thus, one of the objectives of the present invention is to obtain mascara compositions for which the mechanical properties of the deposit of the product on keratin fibres, such as the resistance to flaking, are improved, finely adjustable and reproducible.

[0018] In the course of their research, the inventors have unexpectedly discovered that the objectives as defined previously were achieved by using a composition comprising, notably in a physiologically acceptable medium:

[0019] at least one wax, and

[0020] at least one anionic surfactant of C12-C20monoalkyl phosphate type; and

[0021] at least one base that is capable of partially or completely neutralizing said anionic surfactant, and

[0022] at least one liquid polyester obtained from a) at least one alcohol dimer (diol dimer), which is preferably saturated, the alcohol of which is a C16-C32, preferably C16-C22, alcohol, and b) at least one unsaturated fatty acid dimer; the fatty acid comprising from 16 to 22 carbon atoms; and

[0023] water; and

[0024] at least one film-forming polymer in the form of solid particles in suspension in the aqueous phase; and

[0025] at least one water-soluble liquid polyol.

[0026] Unexpectedly, the inventors have in fact observed that the formulation comprising at least one wax (1), at least one anionic surfactant of C12-C20monoalkyl phosphate type (2) in a form partially or completely neutralized by a base (3), at least one liquid polyester (4) obtained from an unsaturated fatty acid dimer and a diol dimer, water (5), at least one film-forming polymer (6) in the form of solid particles in suspension in the aqueous phase and at least one water-soluble liquid polyol (7) made it possible to produce, after application to keratin materials such as the eyelashes, a deposit having good resistance to flaking.

[0027] This discovery forms the basis of the invention.Subjects of the invention

[0028] Thus, according to one of its aspects, the present invention relates to a composition comprising, notably in a physiologically acceptable medium:

[0029] at least one wax and

[0030] at least one anionic surfactant of C12-C20monoalkyl phosphate type, and

[0031] at least one base that is capable of partially or completely neutralizing said anionic surfactant, and

[0032] at least one liquid polyester (4) obtained from a) at least one alcohol dimer (diol dimer), which is preferably saturated, the alcohol of which is a C16-C32, preferably C16-C22, alcohol, and b) at least one unsaturated fatty acid dimer; the fatty acid comprising from 16 to 22 carbon atoms; and

[0033] water; and

[0034] at least one film-forming polymer in the form of solid particles in suspension in the aqueous phase; and

[0035] at least one water-soluble liquid polyol.

[0036] A second subject of the present invention is a cosmetic process for making up and / or caring for human keratin materials, such as the skin, notably the contour of the eyes, the contour of the eyelashes, the contour of the eyebrows; keratin fibres such as the eyelashes and the eyebrows, which consists in applying to said keratin materials a composition as defined previously.Definitions

During the second temperature ramp, the variation in the difference in power absorbed by the empty crucible and by the crucible containing the sample of wax is measured as a function of the temperature. The melting point of the compound is the temperature value corresponding to the top of the peak of the curve representing the variation in the difference in power absorbed as a function of the temperature.

[0073] The composition according to the invention comprises at least one base (3). This base may be organic or inorganic.

[0074] According to a first variant, the base (3) is at least one organic base.

[0079] The primary (poly)hydroxyalkylamine is preferentially 1,3-dihydroxy-2-methyl-2-propylamine (also known as aminomethylpropanediol or AMPD).

[0080] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the base of organic origin is aminomethylpropanediol.

[0081] Such an aminomethylpropanediol that is suitable for use in the invention is, for example, AMPD Ultra PC® sold by the company Angus (Dow Corning).

[0082] According to a second variant, the base is at least one inorganic base.

[0091] "Liquid polyester" is understood to mean a polyester which begins to flow under its own weight in less than one minute at ambient temperature (25°C).

[0092] For the purposes of the present invention, the term "diol dimer" is more particularly understood to denote saturated diols produced by hydrogenation of the corresponding diacid dimers, a diacid dimer being as defined previously.

[0093] It should be noted that the diol dimer may also be other components, for example a triol trimer, a monoalcohol and compounds of ether type, depending on the degree of purification of the dimer acid and / or of the lower alcohol ester thereof, used as starting material. It is possible to use products having a diol dimer content of greater than 70% by weight, but it is preferred to use a diol dimer of high purity, such as a compound having a diol dimer content of greater than 90% by weight.

[0094] Thus, a diol dimer may be produced by catalytic hydrogenation of a diacid dimer, which is itself obtained by dimerization of at least one unsaturated fatty acid, notably a C16to C32fatty acid, such as those mentioned previously, notably a C16to C22fatty acid and more particularly a C18fatty acid.

The diol dimer may be in the saturated form, i.e. not including any carbon-carbon double bonds. According to another embodiment, the possible carbon-carbon double bonds of the diol dimer are totally or partially hydrogenated, after esterification reaction of the diacid dimer with the diol dimer. The hydrogenated forms, notably the totally hydrogenated forms, are preferred.

[0097] In the context of the present invention, "unsaturated fatty acid" denotes fatty acids comprising 1 to 6 unsaturations (carbon-carbon double bonds).

[0099] The unsaturated fatty acid dimer is more particularly obtained by an intermolecular polymerization reaction, notably a dimerization reaction, of at least one unsaturated monocarboxylic acid. It is derived in particular from the dimerization of an unsaturated fatty acid, notably a C16-C22fatty acid and more particularly a C18fatty acid.

[0100] Advantageously, the liquid polyester (4) used in the present invention is obtained from a diacid dimer obtained by dimerization of linoleic acid, optionally followed by total or partial, advantageously total, hydrogenation of the carbon-carbon bonds.

[0101] It may also be obtained from a mixture containing same. In such a case, it is preferred to use a mixture in which the content of this diacid dimer is greater than 70%, more particularly greater than 90% by weight, or even more preferentially greater than 95% by weight; the remainder of the mixture possibly being trimers and / or monomers of unsaturated fatty acids.

[0117] These solid particles may be of anionic, cationic or neutral nature and may constitute a mixture of solid particles of different natures.

[0118] In the present invention, "aqueous" is understood to mean a liquid medium based on water and / or on hydrophilic solvents. This aqueous liquid medium may be constituted essentially of water. It may also comprise a mixture of water and of water-miscible organic solvent(s) (water miscibility greater than 50% by weight at 25°C), for instance lower monoalcohols containing from 2 to 5 carbon atoms such as ethanol or isopropanol, glycols containing from 3 to 8 carbon atoms such as propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol or dipropylene glycol, C3-C4ketones or C2-C4aldehydes.

This gripping member may form a cap to be removably mounted on said container by any suitable means, such as by screwing, click-fastening, coupling, etc. Such a container may thus reversibly house said applicator.

[0248] This container may be optionally equipped with a wiper suitable for removing surplus product taken up by the applicator.

[0249] A process for applying the composition according to the invention to the eyelashes or the eyebrows may also include the following steps:

[0250] - forming a deposit of the cosmetic composition on the eyelashes or the eyebrows,

[0251] - leaving the deposit on the eyelashes or the eyebrows, it being possible for the deposit to dry.

[0252] It should be noted that, according to another embodiment, the applicator may form a product container. In such a case, a container may, for example, be provided in the gripping member and an internal channel can internally connect this gripping member to the application members in relief.

[0253] Finally, it should be noted that the packaging and application assembly may be in the form of a kit, it being possible for the applicator and the packaging device to be housed separately in the same packaging article.

[0254] The expressions "of between ... and ..." and "ranging from ... to ..." should be understood as meaning limits included, unless otherwise specified.

[0255] In the description and the examples, the percentages are weight percentages, unless otherwise indicated. The percentages are thus expressed by weight relative to the total weight of the composition. The ingredients are mixed in the order and under the conditions that are readily determined by those skilled in the art.

[0256] The invention will now be described by means of examples which are present for purely illustrative purposes and should not be interpreted as examples that limit the invention.

[0259] The compositions were prepared in a Maxilab Olsa® jacketed tank as follows (on 3 kg). At ambient temperature (25°C), all the ingredients except for the Acrylates Copolymer were introduced into the tank. The mixture was heated to about 90°C with stirring. Emulsification was performed for 15 minutes with turbine / paddle / scraper stirring (speed 3000 / 30 / 42 rpm). The juice was gradually cooled to 60°C with paddle / scraper stirring (speed = 30 / 42 rpm) at a rate of 2°C / minute. The acrylate copolymer was then added and the mixture cooled to 35°C with paddle / scraper stirring (speed = 30 / 42 rpm) at a rate of 2°C / min, gradually deaerating the formula by means of vacuum before emptying at 35°C.

[0260] After the formulas had been packaged in a mascara applicator, they were evaluated using a friction resistance test carried out according to the protocol described below.

[0261] The formulas were deposited on false eyelashes (test specimen of hair) by 3 times ten strokes with 2 min of drying in between. The test specimens were then left to dry for 1 hour on a plate thermostatically controlled at 33°C. Over a white sheet, 30 strokes were applied to the false eyelashes via the Kéracil® mascara brush from Lancôme. The amount of residue (flakes) deposited on the sheet was evaluated via a chart defining a score of 0 to 6 (0 no residues, 6 very large amount of residues). It should be noted that a significant difference can be observed when the difference is greater than or equal to 1. The results obtained are shown in the table below.
