Abstract
A cosmetic make-up composition comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, a dyestuff comprising glass particles coated with at least one metallic coat. The invention also relates to a cosmetic process for making up keratin substances. The make-up obtained can have a sparkling and wear-resistant metallic appearance.
Description




The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition for making up at least one keratin substance, comprising at least one treated glass particle. The invention also relates to a cosmetic process for making up at least one keratin substance. The composition according to the invention can be applied to the nails, facial or body skin, including the lips, the eyelashes, and the hair, in particular of human beings. More specifically, the invention can be a nail varnish.




The make-up composition can be a nail varnish, a face powder, an eyeshadow, a foundation, a mascara, an eyeliner, or a make-up product for the lips or body. The composition can also be applied to make-up accessories such as false nails, false eyelashes or wigs, or alternatively to pastilles or patches adhering to the skin or the lips (such as beauty spots).




Make-up compositions, such as nail varnishes, are colored with the aid of dyestuffs such as soluble dyes, pigments that are generally metal oxides, such as iron oxides, or alternatively with the aid of nacres such as micas coated with metal oxides such as titanium oxide. However, when the film of make-up is subjected to stresses such as impacts, pressure or rubbing, the dyestuffs and in particular the pigments are not always resistant to these stresses and wear away. A substantial loss of color of the make-up is then observed, thus obliging the user to reapply the make-up regularly, optionally after the damaged coat has been removed. It is also known practice to use aluminum flakes to obtain a color with a metallic effect. Like the pigments, these flakes can show little resistance to stresses and wear away. Furthermore, these flakes can be light-opaque, light-scattering, and matt. In addition, when they are combined with colored pigments which do not have a metallic appearance, for example nacres, the color of these pigments may not emerge; it is therefore not possible to obtain a make-up having a colored metallic appearance.




It would be advantageous to overcome at least one of the drawbacks mentioned above and one of the embodiments of the invention relates to obtaining a make-up on at least one keratin substance that has a sparkling metallic appearance and good wear resistance.




The inventors have observed that a novel type of make-up for at least one keratin substance can be obtained by using a cosmetic composition comprising at least one dyestuff in a cosmetically acceptable medium, wherein the at least one dyestuff comprises glass particles coated with at least one metallic coat.




When the composition according to the invention is applied to at least one keratin substance such as the nails, the glass particles coated with the at least one metallic coat can be distributed in the coat deposited. This composition can afford a make-up film which has a very shiny, sparkling metallic appearance, with a mirror effect, irrespective of the direction of observation, and which does not scatter light. The make-up can also have good wear resistance, in particular, resistance to impacts, rubbing and abrasion, as well as good resistance to chipping. A sparkling make-up which adheres well to the made-up support and which has good staying power can, in certain embodiments of the invention, be obtained. Furthermore, the glass particles can transmit light well, which allows the glass particles to be combined with at least one colored pigment in order to obtain colored make-up with a metallic effect.




Another subject of the invention is a cosmetic process for making up at least one keratin substance, comprising the application of a composition as defined above to the at least one keratin substance.




Another subject of the invention is also the use, in a composition for making up at least one keratin substance, of glass particles coated with at least one metallic coat, in order to obtain a glossy and/or wear-resistant make-up.




The glass particles used as the at least one dyestuff in the composition according to the invention are coated with at least one metallic coat.




The at least one metallic coat can be formed from at least one metal, such as silver, aluminum, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, gold, copper, tin, and magnesium, and, among these representative examples, silver, chromium, nickel, and molybdenum.




In one embodiment of the invention, the at least one metallic coat of the coated glass particles can be present in an amount by weight, relative to the total weight of the particles, generally ranging from 0.1% to 50%, such as 1% to 20%, and further such as 2% to 8%.




The glass particles coated with the at least one metallic coat can have an average size generally ranging from 1 μm to 500 μm, such as 10 μm to 300 μm, and further such as 25 μm to 150 μm.




The glass particles coated with the at least one metallic coat can have a thickness generally ranging from 0.1 μm to 25 μm, such as 0.5 μm to 10 μm, and further such as 0.5 μm to 5 μm.

a) Wear-resistance Test




The wear resistance of the films was measured according to AFNOR standard NF T 30-015. Each composition was applied in the form of a coat 600 mm thick (before drying) onto a disc and then left to dry for 1 hour at 30° C. The film of varnish deposited on the disc was then placed for 1 hour in contact with abrasive discs (Taber abrasimeter), the disc making a complete rotation in one second. After 1 hour, the disc was weighed and the loss of mass LM of product, expressed as a percentage of the weight lost relative to the initial weight, was calculated.




The following results were obtained:






LM=3.58%   Example 3








LM=4.98%   Example 4








LM=5.99%   Example 5






It is seen that compositions 3 and 4 according to the invention have better abrasion strength than composition 5.




b) Light-reflection Test




The test compositions contained 5% by weight of pigment (1), (2) or (3), respectively, instead of 10%.




For each composition, a coat 300 μm thick (before drying) was deposited on a glass plate and, after drying for 24 hours at room temperature, the light-reflecting properties of the film of varnish were then determined.




The film was lit with a light beam 1 cm in diameter inclined at an angle of 30° relative to the normal to the plane of the glass plate, and the amount of light reflected as a function of the angle was then measured using a variable-angle 10 photogoniometer.




For each composition, the reflection curve had the following characteristics:

Width at mid-height

(in ° of angle)















It is seen that the reflection curves for the films obtained with the compositions of Examples 3 and 4 according to the invention have a higher maximum and a narrower width at mid-height than the reflection curve for the film of Example 5. The films of Examples 3 and 4 thus reflect light much more than the film of Example 5. In addition, the films of Examples 3 and 4 scatter light less than the film of Example 5, because the divergence of the reflected beam is lower for the films of Examples 3 and 4 than that for the film of Example 5. The coated glass particles of Examples 3 and 4 thus make it possible to obtain a glossier and more sparkly make-up than the make-up of Example 5 obtained with aluminum powder, which is much more matt.




c) Light-transmission Test




On the same films used for the light-reflection test described above, each film was lit with a light beam oriented perpendicularly to the film (angle of 90° relative to the plane of the glass plate). The amount of light crossing through the film as a function of the angle was measured. The transmission “t” of the light was measured for the angle of −90° and the following arbitrary values were obtained:






t=188.6   Example 3








t=114.9   Example 4








t=0   Example 5






It is seen that the films of Examples 3 and 4 are good light transmitters and are not light-scattering, whereas the film of Example 5, which does not transmit light, is opaque.
