Description

[0001] WASHING AND FOAMING COMPOSITION FOR KERATIN FIBRES COMPRISING AT LEAST ONE GLUCAMIDE, A PARTICULAR MIXTURE OF SURFACTANTS AND AT LEAST ONE CATIONIC POLYSACCHARIDE

[0002] The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition, notably a hair composition, in particular a foaming composition for washing keratin materials comprising several anionic surfactants, at least one glucamide compound, at least one amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactant and at least one cationic polysaccharide.

[0003] The invention also relates to the process for the cosmetic treatment of keratin materials, in particular keratin fibres, comprising the application of the composition according to the invention to said keratin materials.

[0004] It is common practice to use detergent compositions (such as shampoos) based essentially on surfactants, for cleansing and / or washing keratin fibres such as the hair. These compositions are applied to wet hair and the foam generated by massaging or rubbing with the hands makes it possible, after rinsing with water, to remove the various types of dirt initially present on the hair or the skin.

[0005] In addition, it is known practice to propose shampoos, in particular for hair that is sensitized or embrittled to various degrees following the action of atmospheric agents or repeated mechanical or chemical treatments, containing conditioning agents such as silicones, in order to confer conditioning properties on the keratin fibres, for example a better feel, greater suppleness, or easy disentangling.

[0006] However, these washing compositions based on anionic surfactants, generally of sulfate type, and on silicones, have several drawbacks. In particular, the initiation of foaming, the amount of foam generated and more particularly the quality and texture of the foam are deemed to be insufficient.

[0007] In addition, repeated applications of these silicone-based compositions often have the effect of giving the hair an unpleasant feel (hair gets greasy again quickly), loss of volume (lank hair) and of bounce of the head of hair, and occasionally lack of sheen.

[0008] Moreover, the formulation of environmentally friendly cosmetic products, i.e., products designed and developed while taking account of environmental issues, is becoming a major concern in helping to meet global challenges.

[0009] It is thus proving essential to propose more sustainable compositions, thereby making it possible to respond to these environmental issues. In this context, it is important to develop novel cosmetic compositions with a better carbon footprint, notably by promoting the use of starting materials that are renewable and / or that have a good naturalness index and / or that are of natural origin and more particularly of plant origin, while reducing the use of compounds of petrochemical origin.

[0010] Hence the interest in developing a composition which is intended for the treatment of keratin fibres, which is advantageously free of anionic surfactants of sulfate type (sulfate-free), which has good cosmetic properties and improved working qualities, and which is capable of washing keratin fibres without making them lank, so as to give the keratin fibres good conditioning properties.

[0011] There is therefore a real need to develop compositions which are more environmentally friendly, and preferably sulfate-free, which make it possible to obtain excellent washing and working properties, in particular in terms of the initiation of foaming, quality and amount of foam generated, and more particularly the texture of the foam, notably providing good creaminess.

[0012] It is also advantageous for these compositions to confer good conditioning properties on the keratin fibres, in particular in terms of suppleness, smoothness to the touch, disentangling and coating of the keratin fibres.

[0013] These aims are achieved with the present invention, one subject of which is notably a composition, preferably a cosmetic composition, comprising:

[0014] (i) at least one first anionic surfactant chosen from acyl isethionates,

[0015] (ii) at least one second anionic surfactant chosen from amino acid derivatives,

[0016] (iii) from 0.1% to 10% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of at least one glucamide compound,

[0017] (iv) at least one amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactant, and

[0018] (v) at least one cationic polysaccharide.

[0019] It has been found that the composition according to the invention has excellent keratin fibre-washing power. In particular, the hair treated with the composition according to the invention is particularly clean and has good cosmetic properties. It makes it possible to remove dirt effectively and obtain a clean visual effect of the keratin fibres.

[0020] It has also been noted that the hair thus treated is particularly light, soft to the touch, smooth to the touch, supple, easy to disentangle and more manageable. The composition according to the invention coats the hair without however making it lank. In addition, it has been observed that the composition according to the invention has good working qualities, notably a good start of foaming and good foam quality and amount. It has very particularly been noted that the composition according to the invention makes it possible to generate a large amount of foam. The foam generated by the composition according to the invention is rich, creamy, firm and generous, which is particularly appreciated by users.

[0021] A subject of the invention is also a process for treating, in particular cosmetically treating, keratin materials, notably keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair, comprising at least one step of applying a composition according to the invention to said keratin fibres.
