Description

Description Title: Solid cosmetic composition technical field

[0001] This description concerns an anhydrous solid cosmetic composition based on natural or naturally derived waxes. It also concerns a preparation process and a process for the treatment or makeup of keratinous materials that utilizes this composition. Previous technique

[0002] Synthetic waxes are products derived from petroleum. Paraffins constitute the first category of synthetic waxes: they are hydrocarbon compounds derived from petroleum. They have a solid to semi-solid consistency at room temperature. They are generally characterized by a melting point between 40 and 90°C, excellent oxidation and temperature stability, odor neutrality, and clarity.

[0003] Other synthetic waxes can be obtained by chemical synthesis from petroleum derivatives. These include polymers, which generally have a higher melting point than paraffins.

[0004] These properties of texture, visual appearance and olfactory neutrality make synthetic waxes highly sought-after products for many applications such as the manufacture of cosmetic products and in particular the manufacture of solid cosmetic products, for example poured into pots or pans or in stick form.

[0005] However, the synthetic waxes currently available on the market pose problems in terms of environmental impact and safety.

[0006] Indeed, paraffins, including MOSH (mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons) and / or MOAH (mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons), are suspected of toxicity, particularly of carcinogenic effect, so that regulations now require limiting their concentration in food products.

[0007] Furthermore, due to their origin, paraffins contribute negatively to the increase of anthropogenic carbon dioxide. In addition, synthetic waxes are not biodegradable and lead to bioaccumulation in the environment.

[0008] This is why many sectors are looking for environmentally friendly, biodegradable and sustainable substitute products to replace synthetic waxes.

[0009] Natural waxes or waxes derived from nature, of plant or animal origin, such as beeswax, candelilla or carnauba wax, offer a renewable alternative to synthetic waxes, especially paraffins.

[0010] In the context of the invention, an ingredient "of natural origin" is understood to mean an ingredient that is either "natural" or "derived from natural" as defined below, and in accordance with the definition given by ISO 16128.

[0011] For the purposes of this application, a "natural" ingredient is defined as an ingredient of plant or animal origin that has not undergone any chemical transformation. In the field of cosmetics, a natural ingredient may have undergone physical modifications, such as extraction by traditional mechanical means. Its naturalness index is 1, meaning that it consists solely of natural components.

[0012] For the purposes of this application, a "naturally derived" ingredient is defined as an ingredient of plant or animal origin that has undergone chemical transformations, meaning its natural state has been altered to make it suitable for use in cosmetics. A naturalness index can be calculated for these ingredients. An ingredient will be considered "naturally derived" if its naturalness index is greater than 0.5, meaning that more than 50% of its constituent components are derived from nature. The naturalness index of an ingredient with less than 50% of its constituent components being derived from nature will be 0.

[0013] Calculating the naturalness index of an ingredient, particularly if it contains wax, falls within the general knowledge of a person skilled in the art. The naturalness index calculation is generally established and provided by the raw material supplier. Therefore, for the same ingredient with a given chemical structure, different naturalness indices can be obtained depending on the preparation process.

[0014] However, in many applications, natural or naturally derived waxes cannot completely replace paraffins or other synthetic waxes.

[0015] Recent scientific work has investigated the possibility of replacing paraffins in lipstick formulations with mixtures of naturally derived lipids, specifically a mixture of linear C35-C38 alkenones from algal resources. However, low stability was observed (Huynh, A. et al. Evaluation of alkenones, a renewablely sourced, plant-derived wax as a structuring agent for lipsticks. Int. J. Cosmet. Sci. 42, 146-155 (2020)).

[0016] Other scientific work has recently shown that in the field of lipsticks, the substitution of synthetic waxes of petroleum origin with waxes of plant origin poses problems of product stability, lipstick solidity, exudation, incompatibilities and / or oxidation, with which increasingly demanding consumers are not prepared to deal, (de Clermont-Gallerande et al. Substitution of synthetic waxes by plant-based waxes in lipsticks, OCL, 2022, 29, 19).

[0017] Thus, this study shows that when the composition obtained with vegetable waxes is solid, it has too low hardness values ​​which result in too frequent breakage during application in the case of sticks.

[0018] Furthermore, the stability over time is not satisfactory. This can result in the appearance of an exudation phenomenon, polymorphism, a change in the appearance of the surface of the product such as the appearance of inhomogeneities, with the presence of matte surface area(s), or film-forming area(s), or even an evolution of the sensory experience during application over time (decrease in meltability, glide).

[0019] Furthermore, natural plant-based waxes with a high melting point, around 80°C, do not allow for sufficiently sensorial textures: they are very rigid, lack flexibility, and the sensation upon application to the skin or lips is unpleasant. Finally, plant-based waxes with a melting point below 80°C do not allow for sufficient structuring of the composition to mold lipsticks into sticks.

[0020] There is therefore a real need to find natural or naturally derived substitute products, particularly plant-based, ecological and sustainable ones to replace paraffins.

[0021] A solid, anhydrous cosmetic composition has now been developed, based on natural or naturally derived ingredients, particularly plant-derived ingredients. Its physicochemical characteristics, including hardness, texture, and / or melting point, are very close to those obtained with existing synthetic waxes. In particular, this solid, anhydrous composition, free of petroleum-based synthetic waxes, does not present problems with stability, strength (i.e., frequent breakage in the case of sticks), exudation, incompatibilities, and / or oxidation. This solid, anhydrous composition offers excellent sensory properties upon application: it melts and glides on smoothly, and this sensory quality does not change over time (no decrease in melting or gliding).

[0022] Thus, according to a first aspect, the invention relates to an anhydrous solid cosmetic composition comprising: a lipophilic gelling agent selected from sucrose polyesters, in particular sucrose tetrastearate triacetate, and at least two natural or naturally derived waxes comprising sunflower wax and hydrogenated castor oil, preferably the sunflower wax is combined with hydrogenated castor oil; at least one non-volatile polar oil; less than 3% by weight of mineral and / or synthetic wax, preferably less than 1% by weight of mineral and / or synthetic wax, preferably the composition being free of mineral and / or synthetic wax the percentages are expressed in relation to the total weight of the solid cosmetic composition. SOLID

[0023] According to the invention, "solid composition" refers to a composition exhibiting, at a temperature of 20°C and atmospheric pressure (760 mm Hg), a hardness greater than 30 Nm⁻¹, preferably greater than 40 Nm⁻¹, and preferably between 55 Nm⁻¹ and 315 Nm⁻¹. Hardness can be measured at 20°C using the "butter cutter" method, which assesses the firmness of a lipstick by measuring, in particular, its resistance to cutting the product into a stick. This measurement is performed 24 hours after formulation, using a texture analyzer (TAXTPIus, MicroStable Systems, UK) equipped with a 5 kg load cell and its Butter Cutter A / BC probe (Swantech, MicroStable Systems, UK). It allows the maximum resistance force of the stick during the penetration of the butter-cutting wire to a depth of 9 mm at a speed of 1.6 mm / s.To ensure the reproducibility of the measurements, the analysis is repeated on 6 sticks, and the relative difference between measurements must not exceed 10%, ideally 5%. For each type of product, a reference (target) range is established to guarantee the mechanical properties of the stick. For example, for a stick with a diameter of 12.7 mm (0.0127 m), a hardness expressed in Nm⁻¹ is calculated by multiplying the hardness expressed in grams by a factor of 0.01 (where 1 g = 0.01 N) and dividing the result by the diameter 0.0127 m.

[0024] The solid composition according to the invention may have a hardness greater than 110g, preferably greater than 140g, and even more preferably greater than 175g.

[0025] The solid composition according to the invention will generally have a hardness greater than or equal to 50g for a stick in a guided pack, because its base is held in the packaging when the user uses it and it is therefore more resistant to breakage during use.

[0026] The solid composition according to the invention shall generally have a hardness greater than or equal to 70g, in particular greater than or equal to 90g, for example ranging from 100g to 400g, and preferably ranging from 140g to 300g and even more preferably ranging from 165g to 250g, preferably between 170g to 210g, preferably between 170g and 200g for a stick in an unguided pack.

[0027] Such compositions (corresponding in particular to cast sticks in standard format of approximately 12.7mm) exhibit adequate stability and hardness: the stick is sufficiently rigid and solid, does not break during application and is thus compatible with packaging in stick form or in another solid form and with application by friction on the surface to be treated and / or made up; they are also characterized by ease of application such as good glide, good deposit from the first application and a comfortable texture.

[0028] Solid cosmetic compositions can be in the form of a stick or a composition packaged in a cup.

[0029] The solid cosmetic composition can be a skincare cosmetic composition of keratinous materials, a perfume or a makeup composition of keratinous materials. ANHYDROUS

[0030] The solid cosmetic composition of the invention is anhydrous.

[0031] By "anhydrous composition," it is understood, in particular, that water is preferably not deliberately added to the composition of the invention but may be present in trace amounts in the various compounds used in the composition. In particular, the composition according to the invention may comprise less than 4% by weight of water, preferably less than 3%, preferably less than 2%, more preferably less than 1%, and even more preferably less than 0.5% by weight of water, relative to the total weight of said composition, or may even be completely free of water. According to a particular embodiment, the composition is free of water. LIPOPHILIC GELDING AGENT SUCROSE POLYESTER

[0032] By "lipophilic gelling agent" according to the invention, we mean a compound capable of gelling the fatty phase of a composition.

[0033] The lipophilic gelling agent is chosen from sucrose polyesters. It can be chosen from sucrose and fatty acid esters, and preferably sucrose, stearic acid and acetic acid esters, such as sucrose tetrastearate triacetate (INCI name sucrose tetrastearate triacetate) available under the trade name Sisterna® A10E-C from the Sisterna company.

[0034] The content of the lipophilic gelling agent chosen from sucrose polyesters can be between 0.9% and 50% by weight, preferably between 2% and 40% by weight, and even more preferably between 4% and 12% by weight, the percentages being expressed in relation to the total weight of the solid cosmetic composition. WAXES

[0035] The term "wax" refers to a lipophilic fatty compound, solid at room temperature (15-25 °C) and atmospheric pressure (760 mmHg), whose solid-to-liquid phase change is reversible. Waxes generally have a melting point above 30 °C (sometimes reaching up to 200 °C) and exhibit anisotropic crystalline structure in their solid state. At its melting point, wax becomes miscible with oils and can form a microscopically homogeneous mixture. When the mixture is cooled to room temperature, the wax can recrystallize within the oils of the mixture. NATURAL WAXES OR WAXES DERIVED FROM NATURAL PRODUCTS

[0036] Advantageously, the waxes used in the composition according to the invention are natural or natural waxes, solid at room temperature (i.e. at a temperature ranging from about 15 to 25°C).

[0037] In the context of this invention, waxes of natural origin are selected from natural waxes or waxes derived from nature. As previously defined, natural waxes or waxes derived from nature are waxes of vegetable or animal origin. In particular, mineral waxes are not natural waxes or waxes derived from nature within the meaning of this application.

[0038] Naturally derived ingredients can be cosmetic ingredients obtained through defined chemical and / or biological processes aimed at chemically modifying them. They can be chemical compounds or substances produced by living organisms, i.e., found in nature. For the purposes of this invention, ingredients of natural origin are considered to include ingredients such as waxes, butters, or oils derived from plants, or products resulting from the hydrogenation or esterification of naturally derived oils, preferably of vegetable origin.

[0039] The combination of natural or naturally derived waxes according to the invention allows for the structuring of the composition, particularly hot-poured solid compositions in stick, cup, or any other type of support. The waxes used in the compositions according to the invention may be hydrocarbon-based. The waxes used in the compositions according to the invention are of natural origin, preferably of vegetable origin.

[0040] By "derived from" we mean an ingredient that has undergone a chemical modification.

[0041] The natural or naturally derived waxes used in the compositions according to the invention can be obtained from the hydrogenation of oils of natural origin, preferably vegetable such as castor oil (The wax of natural origin is then hydrogenated castor oil).

[0042] In particular, natural or naturally derived waxes, as well as their combinations used in the compositions according to the invention, have a melting point above 55°C, preferably between 58°C and 95°C, preferably between 58°C and 92°C at atmospheric pressure.

[0043] The composition includes at least two natural or naturally derived waxes comprising sunflower wax and hydrogenated castor oil.

[0044] The terms "sunflower seed wax" and "sunflower wax" are interchangeable. Hydrogenated castor oil is preferably devoid of additional functionalities, such as the ester resulting from the combination of hydrogenated castor oil and a fatty acid.

[0045] For example, the naturalness index of sunflower wax is 1, the naturalness index of sunflower wax combined with hydrogenated castor oil is 0.99.

[0046] In the mixture of sunflower wax and hydrogenated castor oil, the weight ratio of sunflower wax to hydrogenated castor oil is between 5 and 12, preferably between 7 and 11 and more preferably between 8 and 10, for example around 9.

[0047] In a particular embodiment, the mixture of sunflower wax and hydrogenated castor oil represents a content of between 50% and 100% by weight, preferably between 70% and 100% by weight and even more preferably between 80% and 100% by weight, the percentages being expressed in relation to the total weight of the waxes.

[0048] In particular, the composition may further include a wax of natural origin chosen from the group including beeswax, sunflower wax, carnauba wax, candelilla wax, cottonseed wax, rice bran wax, berry wax, Chinese insect wax, kapok wax, sugar cane wax, jojoba wax, shellac wax, wax derived from nature may be chosen from the group including lanolin and its alcohol derivatives, acetylated, esterified, polyethoxylated natural waxes or a mixture thereof.

[0049] Naturally derived waxes can also be plant ester waxes selected from the group including the mixture of sunflower wax and hydrogenated castor oil marketed by Brasca under the trade name ABWAX REVOWAX, jojoba esters marketed by Floratech under the trade name Floraesters 60 or Floraesters 70, alkyl esters or hydrogenated alkyl esters marketed by Sophim under the trade name Phytowax, such as hydrogenated lauroyl oleate esters marketed under the name Phytowax Olive 12L44, tribehenin marketed by Croda under the trade name Syncrowax HRC-PA(RB), C18-36 acid triglyceride marketed by Croda under the trade name Synchrowax HGLC.

[0050] According to one embodiment, the waxes derived from nature are not mixtures of jojoba esters, polyglycerin-3, Acacia decurrens flower wax and sunflower seed wax, such as a mixture marketed by Gattefosse under the trade name Acticire®.

[0051] In another specific embodiment, the natural or naturally derived wax of vegetable origin may be chosen from:

[0052] - a mixture of sunflower wax, hydrogenated castor oil and at least one wax selected from carnauba wax, candelilla wax, cottonseed wax, rice bran wax, berry wax, Chinese insect wax, kapok wax, sugar cane wax, jojoba wax, shellac wax, jojoba esters, alkyl esters or hydrogenated alkyl esters such as hydrogenated lauroyl oleate esters, tribehenin, C18-36 acid triglyceride.

[0053] In another particular embodiment, the natural or naturally derived wax of vegetable origin may be chosen from: - a mixture of sunflower wax, hydrogenated castor oil and tribehenin, allowing an improved, thicker deposit.

[0054] In another specific embodiment, the natural or naturally derived wax of vegetable origin may be chosen from: - a mixture of sunflower wax, hydrogenated castor oil and C18-36 acid triglyceride.

[0055] When the solid cosmetic composition is presented in the form of a product poured into a cup, it may comprise from 2% to 12% by weight, preferably between 2.5% and 6% by total weight of natural or naturally derived wax, relative to the total weight of the composition.

[0056] When the solid cosmetic composition is in stick form, it may comprise from 6.5% to 20% by weight, preferably between 6.5% and 17% by total weight of natural or naturally derived wax, relative to the total weight of the composition.

[0057] Preferably the total wax content is between 2% and 20%, preferably between 7% and 20%, preferably between 8% and 18% and more preferably between 10% and 15% by weight, relative to the total weight of the solid cosmetic composition.

[0058] In a particular embodiment, the composition of the invention has a weight ratio between the lipophilic gelling agent / the total content of natural or naturally derived waxes, of between 0.01-2, preferably between 0.1 and 1 and, more preferably, between 0.5-0.7, for example around 0.6.

[0059] Preferably, the composition comprises at least two natural or naturally derived waxes, including sunflower wax combined with hydrogenated castor oil. This composition exhibits improved stability properties. This stability can be demonstrated by the absence of exudation, polymorphism, and changes in the product's surface appearance, such as inhomogeneities like matte or film-forming areas. Furthermore, the composition exhibits no change in sensory characteristics over time, particularly no decrease in meltability or glide. This composition also offers improved sensory properties, specifically enhanced meltability and glide.

[0060] By "combined" is meant a mixture of at least two natural or naturally derived waxes pre-mixed before their incorporation into the cosmetic composition. The combination can typically be carried out by pre-heating each of the natural or naturally derived waxes separately to a temperature above the melting point of said waxes, mixing them while still hot followed by cooling them to room temperature, preferably according to a process such as described in document EP4272723, and comprising, for example, the following steps: a) heating the sunflower seed wax (Helianthus annuus) with stirring to a temperature between 80°C and 100°C, until the wax is completely melted; b) heating the hydrogenated castor oil with stirring to a temperature between 90°C and 110°C, until the wax (hydrogenated castor oil) is completely melted;c) mix the waxes obtained in steps a) and b) under agitation, maintaining a temperature between 95 °C and 125 °C, preferably for a period of 15 to 30 minutes, until the composition is completely homogenized; d) cool the composition obtained in step c) to a temperature between 5 °C and 15 °C for a maximum of 15 minutes, preferably up to 5 minutes, in order to obtain a homogeneous phase consisting of a Helianthus annuus sunflower seed wax matrix in which hydrogenated castor oil is solubilized; e) maintain at room temperature the homogeneous phase obtained in step d), preferably for at least 15 minutes, until said wax is obtained.

[0061] The mixture of natural or naturally derived waxes including sunflower wax combined with hydrogenated castor oil can have a melting point between 75 and 92°C.

[0062] According to one embodiment, the composition may comprise two natural or naturally derived waxes consisting of sunflower wax combined with hydrogenated castor oil.

[0063] In a particular embodiment, sunflower wax combined with hydrogenated castor oil represents a content of between 50% and 100%, preferably between 70% and 100% and even more preferably between 80% and 100% by weight, the percentages being expressed in relation to the total weight of the waxes.

[0064] The anhydrous solid cosmetic compositions according to the invention may further comprise other ingredients, in particular additional solid fats, including pasty fats. MINERAL OR SYNTHETIC WAX

[0065] Preferably, the anhydrous solid cosmetic compositions according to the invention comprise less than 3% by weight of mineral and / or synthetic wax, in particular less than 1% by weight, the percentages being expressed by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, and even better the composition is free of mineral and / or synthetic wax.

[0066] By "synthetic wax" we mean a wax that is not natural or derived from nature.

[0067] Among the mineral waxes, we can mention in particular montan wax, ceresins, ozokerites, microcrystalline waxes, mineral paraffins.

[0068] Examples of synthetic waxes include: - synthetic beeswax, such as that marketed by Koster Keunen under the trade name Kester Wax K82H, or one of their blends; - polyethylene wax, such as that marketed by New Phase Technologies under the name Performalène 400 (P400) or by Jeen International Corporation under the name Jeenate 3H, - a mixture of high molecular weight linear polyethylene and ethylene / propylene copolymer, marketed by Safi-Alcan under the trade name Lipwax® PZ80-20, - a synthetic wax like the one marketed by Sasol under the name Sasol Wax C80; - mixtures of synthetic waxes and vegetable waxes, such as for example a mixture of synthetic wax and carnauba wax (Copernica cerifera) marketed by Strahl & Pitsch under the name Smart wax 202, a mixture of synthetic wax, Candelilla wax and carnauba wax (Copernica cerifera) marketed by Strahl & Pitsch under the name Smartwax 7743S, - Fischer Tropsch waxes such as those marketed by Cirebelle under the name Cirebelle 303, or one of their mixtures. The composition may further comprise at least one paste compound, or at least one additional gelling agent, or at least one colouring agent, or at least one filler, or at least one film-forming agent, or at least one volatile oil, or a mixture of at least two of these. PASTY

[0069] The anhydrous solid cosmetic compositions according to the invention may include an additional pasty fatty substance.

[0070] For the purposes of this invention, "pasty fat" means a lipophilic fatty compound with a reversible solid / liquid change of state, exhibiting an anisotropic crystalline organization in the solid state, and comprising, at a temperature of 23 °C, a liquid fraction and a solid fraction.

[0071] In other words, the initial melting point of the solid fat can be below 23°C. The liquid fraction of the solid fat measured at 23°C can represent 9 to 97% by weight of the solid fat. This liquid fraction at 23°C preferably represents between 15 and 85%, and even more preferably between 40 and 85% by weight.

[0072] For the purposes of the invention, the melting temperature corresponds to the temperature of the most endothermic peak observed in thermal analysis (DSC) as described in ISO 11357-3; 1999. The melting point of a pasty fat can be measured using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), for example the calorimeter sold under the name "MDSC 2920" by TA Instruments.

[0073] The measurement protocol is as follows:

[0074] A 5 mg sample of pasty fat placed in a crucible is first heated from -20 °C to 100 °C at a rate of 10 °C / minute, then cooled from 100 °C to -20 °C at a rate of 10 °C / minute, and finally heated a second time from -20 °C to 100 °C at a rate of 5 °C / minute. During this second heating cycle, the difference in power absorbed by the empty crucible and the crucible containing the pasty fat sample is measured as a function of temperature. The melting point of the pasty fat is the temperature value corresponding to the peak of the curve representing the difference in power absorbed as a function of temperature.

[0075] The liquid fraction by weight of a solid fat at 23°C is equal to the ratio of the enthalpy of fusion consumed at 23°C to the enthalpy of fusion of the solid fat. The enthalpy of fusion of a solid fat is the enthalpy consumed by the fat to change from a solid to a liquid state. A solid fat is said to be in a solid state when its entire mass is in crystalline form. A solid fat is said to be in a liquid state when its entire mass is in liquid form.

[0076] The enthalpy of fusion of the pasty fat is equal to the area under the curve of the thermogram obtained using a differential scanning calorimeter (DS C), such as the calorimeter sold under the name MDSC 2920 by TA instrument, with a temperature rise of 5 or 10 °C per minute, according to ISO 11357-3:1999.

[0077] The enthalpy of fusion of a fat-based substance is the amount of energy required to change the fat-based substance from a solid to a liquid state. It is expressed in J / g.

[0078] The enthalpy of fusion consumed at 23 °C is the amount of energy absorbed by the sample to change from the solid state to the state it presents at 23 °C consisting of a liquid fraction and a solid fraction.

[0079] The liquid fraction of the solid fat measured at 32 °C preferably represents 30 to 100% by weight of the solid fat, preferably 50 to 100%, and preferably 60 to 100% by weight of the solid fat. When the liquid fraction of the solid fat measured at 32 °C is equal to 100%, the temperature at the end of the melting range of the solid fat is less than or equal to 32 °C.

[0080] The liquid fraction of the solid fat measured at 32 °C is equal to the ratio of the enthalpy of fusion consumed at 32 °C to the enthalpy of fusion of the solid fat. The enthalpy of fusion consumed at 32 °C is calculated in the same way as the enthalpy of fusion consumed at 23 °C.

[0081] The paste-like fat is preferably chosen from synthetic fats and fats of vegetable origin. A paste-like fat can be obtained synthetically from starting materials of vegetable origin.

[0082] One such compound is a mixture of sterol esters, such as the cholesterol and lanosterol ester mixture available from the manufacturer CRODA under the trade name Super Sterol Ester®, - lanolin and its derivatives, - mixtures of beeswax and octyldodecanol such as that marketed under the name Zenibee Cream by the company Zenitech, - esters, - vegetable butters such as mango butter, shea butter, cocoa butter, cottonseed butter, avocado butter, or a mixture thereof.

[0083] Among the esters, we can notably use: - esters of an oligomeric glycerol, in particular diglycerol esters, especially adipic acid and glycerol condensates, in which some of the hydroxyl groups of the glycerols have reacted with a mixture of fatty acids such as stearic acid, capric acid, stearic acid and isostearic acid and 12-hydroxystearic acid, such as those marketed under the brand name Softisan 649 by the company Sasol, - arachidyl propionate marketed under the brand name Waxenol 801 by Alzo, - phytosterol esters such as the product with the INCI name "bis-behenyl / isostearyl / phytosteryl dimer dilinoleyl dimer dilinoleate" marketed under the name Plandool-G by Nippon Fine Chemical Co, and "Phytosteryl / behenyl / octyldodecyl / isostearyl lauroyl glutamate" marketed under the name Eldew-PS308 by Ajinomoto, - fatty acid triglycerides and their derivatives, for example the mixture of stearyl heptanoate and stearyl caprylate marketed under the name DUB solid by the company Stéarinerie Dubois, - pentaerythritol esters, - non-crosslinked polyesters resulting from polycondensation between a C4-C50 linear or branched dicarboxylic acid or polycarboxylic acid and a C2-C50 diol or polyol, - aliphatic esters of ester resulting from the esterification of an aliphatic hydroxycarboxylic acid ester by an aliphatic carboxylic acid such as cetyl lactate marketed under the name ceraphyl 28 by the company ISP (International Speciality Products), - polyesters resulting from the esterification, by a polycarboxylic acid, of an aliphatic hydroxycarboxylic acid ester, said ester comprising at least two hydroxyl groups such as the products Risocast DA-H ®, and Risocast DA-L ®, or one of their mixtures.

[0084] Among the additional pasty fats, phytosterol esters such as the product with the INCI name "bis-behenyl / isostearyl / phytosteryl dimer dilinoleyl dimer dilinoleate" marketed under the name Plandool-G by Nippon Fine Chemical Co, "Phytosteryl / behenyl / octyldodecyl / isostearyl lauroyl glutamate" marketed under the name Eldew-PS308 by Ajinomoto, or a mixture of these, are preferred.

[0085] The compositions may include additional fats having a melting point between 25°C and 55°C. The fat having a melting point between 25°C and 55°C is chosen from among hydrogenated oils solid at 25°C or fatty esters solid at 25°C and mixtures thereof.

[0086] Among the solid hydrogenated oils at 25°C, we can mention hydrogenated palm oil, hydrogenated tallow, hydrogenated coconut oil such as that available under the trade name hydrobase 32-34 by the company Prod'Hyg.

[0087] Examples of solid fatty esters at 25°C include propylene glycol myristate, myristyle myristate, and cetyl alcohol.

[0090] Preferably, cosmetic compositions are free from pasty fats of mineral and / or synthetic origin.

[0091] Among the pasty fats of mineral and / or synthetic origin, we can mention petroleum jelly, also called petrolatum. - vinyl polymers, in particular homopolymers and copolymers of olefins, homopolymers and copolymers of hydrogenated dienes, linear or branched oligomers, homo or copolymers of alkyl (meth)acrylates preferably having an alkyl group at C8-C30, homo and copolymer oligomers of vinyl esters having alkyl groups at C8-C30, homo and copolymer oligomers of vinyl ethers having alkyl groups at C8-C30, - liposoluble polyethers resulting from polyetherification between one or more C2-C100 diols, preferably C2-C50, According to embodiments, the solid cosmetic compositions according to the invention comprise less than 3% by weight of silicone and / or fluorinated pasty fats, in particular less than 1% by weight, the percentages being expressed by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.

[0092] Preferably, cosmetic compositions are free from silicone and / or fluorinated paste-like fats. POLAR NON-VOLATILE OIL

[0093] For the purposes of the present invention, "oil" means a compound which has a lipophilic character and which, when introduced at a rate of at least 1% by weight into water at 20°C, is not at all soluble in water, or soluble to a rate of less than 10% by weight, relative to the weight of oil introduced into the water.

[0094] For the purposes of the present invention, a polar non-volatile oil may be natural or derived from nature.

[0095] The term "non-volatile oil" refers to an oil which has a boiling point generally above 300°C under 760 mm Hg (101325 Pa) and which has little or no vapor pressure.

[0096] The composition according to the invention may comprise one or more non-volatile oils miscible with each other.

[0097] The definition of the solubility parameters in the three-dimensional solubility space of HANSEN are described in the article by CM HANSEN: "The three dimensional solubility parameters" J. Paint Technol. 39, 105 (1967).

[0098] According to this Hansen space: 5D characterizes the London dispersion forces arising from the formation of induced dipoles during molecular collisions; 5P characterizes the DEBYE interaction forces between permanent dipoles as well as the KÉESOM interaction forces between induced dipoles and permanent dipoles; Δh characterizes specific interaction forces (such as hydrogen bonds, acid / base, donor / acceptor, etc.)

[0099] These three parameters can be treated as the coordinates of a point in three dimensions within Hansen space. The closer the solvents are in this three-dimensional space, the more likely they are to dissolve in one another. This is based on the affinity of the molecules for each other, the principle of "like dissolves like."

[0100] The parameters ÔD, ÔP, ôh are expressed in (MPa)1 / 2, unit equivalent to (J / cm3)1 / 2.

[0101] The Hansen solubility parameters are calculated using HSPiP software version V5.3.06 from a chemical structure; the method selected in the software is Y-MB or Yamamoto-Molecular Break.

[0102] This software is available for download via the official Hansen parameters and HSPiP software website at www.hansen-solubility.com.

[0103] The Log Kow or LogP, is a measure of the differential solubility of molecules in water and in octanol; P is the octanol / water partition coefficient.

[0104] LogP = Log(Coct / Ceau).

[0105] This value allows us to understand whether the molecule is hydrophilic or lipophilic.

[0106] If the LogP is positive and very high, the molecule is much more soluble in octanol than in water, reflecting its lipophilic nature. Conversely, if the LogP is negative, the molecule is hydrophilic. A LogP of zero means the molecule is soluble in both solvents.

[0107] Preferably, the oils used according to the present invention have a LogP greater than 0.

[0108] For the purposes of this invention, "polar oil" means an oil whose chemical structure is essentially formed, or even made up, of carbon and hydrogen atoms, and comprising at least one strongly electronegative heteroatom such as an oxygen, nitrogen, silicon or phosphorus atom.

[0109] Preferably, the non-volatile polar oils used according to the present invention have a 5P between 2 and 8 (J / cm3)1 / 2.

[0110] The non-volatile polar oil may be selected from fatty alcohols, fatty acid triglycerides, di-alkyl carbonates, the two alkyl chains being identical or different, diols, vegetable hydrocarbon oils, synthetic esters, polyol polyesters other than fatty acid triglycerides, in particular pentaerythritol esters, higher fatty acids, C2-C16 dicarboxylic acid diesters, butylene glycol diesters, and mixtures thereof.

[0130] The coloring agent can be chosen from among water-soluble or fat-soluble dyes, pigments, mother-of-pearl, lacquers or mixtures thereof.

[0131] These coloring agents may optionally be surface-treated with a hydrophobic agent such as silanes, silicones, fatty acid soaps, C9-15 fluoroalcohol phosphates, acrylate / dimethicone copolymers, mixed C9-15 fluoroalcohol phosphate / silicone copolymers, lecithins, carnauba wax, polyethylene, chitosan, and possibly acylated amino acids such as lauroyl lysine, disodium stearoyl glutamate, and aluminum acyl glutamate.

[0143] The cosmetic compositions according to the invention may further comprise an additional lipophilic gelling agent, a film-forming polymer, or a volatile oil. ADDITIONAL LIPOPHILE GELDING AGENT

[0144] The term "lipophilic gelling agent", in the context of this application, refers to a substance capable of solidifying or gelatinizing the oil present in the composition of the invention.

[0145] Additional lipophilic gelling agents used include organic or mineral polymeric or molecular lipophilic gelling agents.

[0146] Another type of organic polymeric lipophilic gelling agent consists of dextrin esters. Examples include dextrin and fatty acid esters, such as dextrin palmitate.

[0148] As a lipophilic mineral gelling agent, one can cite fumed silica, possibly with a hydrophobic surface treatment, whose particle size is less than 1 µm. It is indeed possible to chemically modify the surface of silica through a chemical reaction that reduces the number of silanol groups present on the silica surface. In particular, silanol groups can be replaced by hydrophobic groups, resulting in hydrophobic silica. The hydrophobic groups can be: - trimethylsiloxyl groups, which are notably obtained by treating fumed silica in the presence of hexamethyldisilazane. Silicas treated in this way are called "Silica silylate" according to the CTFA (8th edition, 2000). They are marketed, for example, under the references Aerosil R812® by the company DEGUSSA, and CAB-O-SIL TS-530® by the company CABOT, - dimethylsilyloxyl or polydimethylsiloxane groups, which are obtained in particular by treating fumed silica in the presence of polydimethylsiloxane or dimethyldichlorosilane. Silicas treated in this way are called "Silica dimethyl silylate" according to the CTFA (8th edition, 2000). They are marketed, for example, under the references Aerosil R972® and Aerosil R974® by the company DEGUSSA, and CAB-O-SIL TS-610® and CAB-O-SIL TS-720® by the company CABOT.

[0161] By radical film-forming polymer, we mean a polymer obtained by polymerization of monomers with unsaturation, particularly ethylenic, each monomer being capable of homopolymerizing (unlike polycondensates).

[0162] Radical-type film-forming polymers can include vinyl polymers or copolymers, particularly acrylic polymers.

[0163] Vinyl film-forming polymers can result from the polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers having at least one acid group and / or esters of these acid monomers and / or amides of these acid monomers.

[0168] Among the aryl (meth)acrylates, we can mention benzyl acrylate and phenyl acrylate.

[0169] The particularly preferred esters of (meth)acrylic acid are the alkyl (meth)acrylates.

[0170] According to the present invention, the alkyl group of the esters can be either fluorinated or perfluorinated, that is to say that some or all of the hydrogen atoms of the alkyl group are substituted by fluorine atoms.

[0171] Examples of amides of acidic monomers include (meth)acrylamides, and in particular N-alkyl (meth)acrylamides, especially those with a C2-C12 alkyl group. Examples of N-alkyl (meth)acrylamides include N-ethyl acrylamide, Nt-butyl acrylamide, Nt-octyl acrylamide, and N-undecylacrylamide.

[0172] Vinyl film-forming polymers can also result from the homopolymerization or copolymerization of monomers selected from vinyl esters and styrenic monomers.

Another example of a polyamide resin is INCIDIISOSTEARYL MALATE & BIS DIOCTADECYLAMIDE DIMER DILINOLEIC ACID / ETHYLENE DIAMINE COPOLYMER, marketed as Haimalate PAM by Kokyu Alcohol Kogyo.

[0198] We can also mention sugar esters and in particular sucrose acetate isobutyrate marketed under the name EASTMAN SUSTANE SAIB by the EASTMAN company.

[0199] Silicone resins, generally soluble or swellable in silicone oils, can also be mentioned; these are cross-linked polyorganosiloxane polymers. The nomenclature for silicone resins is known as "MDTQ," where the resin is described according to the different siloxane monomeric units it comprises, with each letter "MDTQ" characterizing a specific type of unit.

[0203] One can also use copolymers with a non-siliconized organic skeleton grafted by monomers containing a polysiloxane motif, such as for example the butyl acrylate / hydroxypropyl dimethicone acrylate copolymer marketed under the name GRANACRYSIL BAS by the company GRANT.

[0204] Finally, we can mention acrylate / polytrimethylsiloxymethacrylate copolymers comprising a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure grafted onto a vinyl skeleton, commercially available under the references DOWSIL FA 4002 ID or DOWSIL FA 4001 CM.

[0207] In a preferred embodiment, the composition according to the invention comprises from 1 to 40% by weight of a film-forming polymer, preferably 5 to 36% by weight of at least one film-forming polymer. Oil

[0208] For the purposes of the present invention, "oil" means a liquid compound at room temperature (20°C). When introduced at a rate of at least 1% by weight into water at 25°C, the oil is either completely insoluble in water, or soluble to a degree of less than 10% by weight, relative to the weight of oil introduced into the water. VOLATILE OIL

[0209] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the composition contains no (0%) or very little (maximum 5% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition) volatile oil.

[0210] By "volatile oil" we mean an oil that is likely to evaporate on contact with the skin in less than one hour, at room temperature and atmospheric pressure.

[0211] Volatile oil is a volatile cosmetic oil, liquid at room temperature, having in particular a non-zero vapor pressure at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, in particular having a vapor pressure between 0.13 Pa and 40,000 Pa (0.001 to 300 mm Hg), preferably between 1.3 Pa and 13,000 Pa (0.01 to 100 mm Hg), and even more preferably between 1.3 Pa and 1,300 Pa (0.01 to 1,000 mm Hg).

[0212] Volatile oils may include volatile hydrocarbon oils.

[0213] Regarding volatile hydrocarbon oil, we can more specifically mention a short-chain hydrocarbon oil, volatile linear alkanes such as, for example, described in document FR2933865.

EXAMPLES

[0225] Protocol

[0226] The lipstick formulations in Table 1 were prepared as follows: Polar non-volatile oils are dispersed under stirring (150 rpm) in a beaker in a water bath at 95°C. If present, sucrose polyester is dispersed as the sole lipophilic gelling agent in the polar oils at 95°C for 30 minutes until completely dispersed. Then, maintaining the temperature at 95°C and stirring, the waxes are added and allowed to disperse until a completely homogeneous mixture is obtained; then the film-forming agents and finally the pastes are added. This yields a completely molten white body in the form of a homogeneous and clear mixture into which the pigments, previously ground in polyglyceryl-3-diisostearate (Cithrol PG32IS, marketed by Croda), are incorporated. Next, while maintaining the temperature at 95°C and stirring at 150 rpm, the fillers, mother-of-pearl, active ingredients, fragrance, and antioxidant (if present) are added. The mixture is then poured into molds at 70°C.

[0227] The molds are placed at -20°C for 10 minutes then unmolded. & & & &

[0228] The lipstick formulations were subjected to breakage tests on lips. The results of these tests are excellent, as none of the 20 lipsticks in Example 1 of the invention formulated with sucrose polyester broke.

[0229] The 20 lipsticks in comparative example 1, in which sucrose polyester was replaced by polar non-volatile oil (caprylic / capric triglyceride), the formula being otherwise identical to that of example 1, were all broken during the test.

[0230] None of the 20 lipsticks in comparative example 2, in which sucrose polyester was replaced by ABWAX REVOWAX wax, the formula being otherwise identical to that of example 1, were broken.

[0231] None of the 20 lipsticks in comparative example 3, in which ABWAX REVOWAX wax was replaced by sunflower wax alone, the formula otherwise being identical to that of example 1, were broken.

[0232] Exudation tests were also performed. Exudation is a phenomenon of seepage resulting in the appearance of oily deposits on the surface of the anhydrous product in the form of micro-pitting, droplets, or oily patches. For this test, 12 lipsticks were placed at different temperatures (27°C, 30°C, 35°C, and 45°C) and examined after 1 hour, 4 hours, and 24 hours to determine if any exudation was visible.

[0233] No exudation phenomenon was observed with the lipsticks of example 1 of the invention formulated with sucrose polyester, just like those formulated with comparative example 2 in which sucrose polyester was replaced by ABWAX REVOWAX wax.

[0234] However, an exudation phenomenon was observed with the lipsticks in comparative example 1, in which sucrose polyester was replaced by a polar non-volatile oil (caprylic / capric triglyceride). Indeed, droplets of oil appeared on the surface of the stick and were absorbed after 24 hours at room temperature. Furthermore, an even more pronounced exudation phenomenon was observed with the lipsticks in comparative example 3, in which ABWAX REVOWAX wax was replaced by sunflower wax alone. In fact, droplets of oil appeared on the surface of the stick and did not absorb after 24 hours at room temperature, indicating the instability of these sticks.

[0235] Sensory tests were conducted on 25 trained volunteers to evaluate the glide. The results of these tests are excellent, as the lipsticks of Example 1 of the invention, formulated with sucrose polyester, exhibit very good glide upon application, a soft texture, and a melting film.

[0236] The lipsticks in comparative example 1, in which sucrose polyester has been replaced by polar non-volatile oil (capryl ic / capric triglyceride), exhibit a glide similar to that experienced with the lipsticks in example 1 of the invention. However, the texture feels oily and the film is not creamy.

[0237] In contrast, the lipsticks in comparative example 2, in which sucrose polyester has been replaced by ABWAX REVOWAX wax, exhibit significantly reduced glide. The lipstick does not adhere to the lips.

[0238] Similarly, the lipsticks in comparative example 3, in which ABWAX REVOWAX wax has been replaced by sunflower wax alone, exhibit low glide and a fairly sticky film.

[0239] Stability tests were performed on the lipsticks. Different lipstick sticks were incubated at various temperatures (4°C, 20°C, 40°C, and 45°C). The lipsticks were then observed on days 1, 15, 30, and 60. The lipsticks in Example 1 of the invention, formulated with sucrose polyester, maintained their good hold, smooth application, and shine throughout the incubation period.

[0240] The results of butter-cutting wire measurements are presented in Table 2.

[0241] [Table 2]

[0242] Hardness is measured at 20°C using the "butter cutter wire" method, which assesses the firmness of a lipstick by measuring, in particular, its resistance to being cut into a stick. This measurement is performed 24 hours after formulation, using a texture analyzer (TAXTPIus, MicroStable Systems, UK) equipped with a 5 kg load cell and its Butter Cutter A / BC probe (Swantech, MicroStable Systems, UK). This method measures the maximum resistance force of the stick when the butter cutter wire penetrates to a depth of 9 mm at a speed of 1.6 mm / s. To ensure the reproducibility of the measurements, the analysis is repeated on 6 sticks, and the relative difference between measurements should not exceed 10%, ideally 5%.

[0243] The solid composition according to the invention exhibits adequate stability and hardness: the stick is sufficiently rigid and solid, does not break during application and is thus compatible with packaging in stick form or in another solid form and with application by friction on the surface to be treated and / or made up; it is also characterized by ease of application such as good glide, good deposit from the first application and a comfortable texture without any observation of exudation phenomenon.
