Patent Application
20050112159
The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition for the treatment of keratinous fibres, in particular hair, comprising at least one fixing polymer and at least one amphoteric starch, and to the process for the treatment of keratinous fibres using this composition.
Hair shaping or form retention compositions containing styling polymers (fixing polymers) in their formulation generally exhibit the disadvantage of making it difficult to disentangle, restyle or brush the hair, in particular during blow-drying. Hair treated with these fixing polymers is generally harsh and has an unnatural feel.
The combination of silicone derivatives with fixing polymers is known in cosmetic compositions for form retention and/or fixing of the hairstyle. It has been found that these silicone derivatives improve the properties of disentangling, of softness and of sheen of hair treated using these compositions. However, silicone derivatives are not favourable to the styling properties of compositions containing fixing polymers.
In particular, the search is for compositions which make it possible to modify the texture of the hair, that is to say compositions which soften the hair during application on wet hair (emollience property) and which also make possible very easy disentanglement. These properties are generally achieved by cations but the hair, once dried, is rendered limp and heavy by these compositions. In other words, the hairstyle does not have body.
The aim of the present invention is thus to provide compositions which have good properties of fixation and/or of shape-retention for hair over time and which have excellent cosmetic properties, such as emollience, softness, disentangling and feel.
The inventor has now discovered, surprisingly, that by using compositions containing a fixing polymer in combination with at least one amphoteric starch in a cosmetically acceptable medium, excellent cosmetic properties, such as softness, disentangling and feel, are obtained while having synergic styling and/or fixing properties.
The fixing power of the compositions according to the invention is superior to that of compositions containing only a single one of either a fixing polymer or an amphoteric starch.
The subject of the present invention is thus a cosmetic composition for keratinous fibres comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, at least one fixing polymer and at least one amphoteric starch.
In the context of the present application, cosmetic compositions for form retention of the hairstyle is understood to mean any composition having the function of temporarily fixing the shape of the hairstyle, such as, for example, styling lacquers and sprays or styling gels and foams. The fixing power of the composition denotes the ability of the composition to give the hair a cohesion such that the initial hair shaping of the hairstyle is retained. Fixing polymer is understood to mean any polymer having the function of fixing the shape of the hairstyle.
According to the present invention, the amphoteric starches and the amphoteric polymers may optionally be zwitterionic.
According to the present invention, the term “keratinous fibres” comprises the hair, the eyelashes, the eyebrows and more particularly the hair.
The amphoteric starches which can be used according to the invention contain at least one anionic group and at least one cationic group.
