The disclosure relates to cosmetic compositions comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, (1) at least one silicone elastomer blend, (2) at least one film-forming polymer chosen from polyalkylsilsesquioxane resins, (3) at least one siloxane resin, (4) at least one polymeric filler, and (5) at least one mineral filler. Cosmetic compositions according to various embodiments of the disclosure may have one or more improved properties, such as improved oil absorption, shine reduction, matte, texture, long-wear properties, and/or ability to impart true color, while also reducing dullness, whiteness, and/or ashiness of the skin. The disclosure further relates to methods for making up and/or enhancing the appearance of a keratinous substrate, such as the skin, comprising applying said compositions to the keratinous substrate.
Foundations are known and used in the cosmetic field to impart color to the skin. It is also known that foundations can help to control oil and shine on the skin. However, when preparing foundations for deeper ethnic skin tones, and especially in the case of oil-absorbing and/or matte compositions, it has been found that such compositions tend to impart an undesirable, dull or ashy hue to the skin
Polymeric and mineral fillers are well-known in the cosmetic field. Such fillers are generally incorporated into cosmetic compositions as oil-absorptive components which tend to have good adherence to the skin and contribute to the matte properties of the compositions. However, the use of fillers in compositions can tend to give the user an undesirable ashy and/or dull appearance and may, in some cases, result in a dry skin feel. The amount of fillers necessary to adequately absorb oil and prevent shine generally also tends to whiten the formulation and give the ashy dull hue that becomes more apparent after the composition dries on the skin. This problem is greatly exacerbated in the case of foundations for women with deeper ethnic skin tones.
Thus, there is a need in the cosmetic industry to provide consumers having deeper ethnic skin tones with cosmetic products having improved properties such as improved oil absorption, shine reduction, matte, texture, long-wear properties, and/or ability to impart true color, while also reducing dullness, whiteness, and/or ashiness of the skin. As such, there is a continuous need to invent novel cosmetic compositions which demonstrate one or more of the above-mentioned improved properties.
It has now been surprisingly discovered that by incorporating (1) at least one silicone elastomer blend, (2) at least one film-forming polymer chosen from polyalkylsilsesquioxane resins, (3) at least one siloxane resin, (4) at least one polymeric filler, and (5) at least one mineral filler into cosmetic compositions, undesirable cosmetic properties such as ashiness, dullness, and/or whiteness may be reduced and, in some cases, eliminated.
The disclosure relates, in various embodiments, to cosmetic compositions comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, (1) at least one silicone elastomer blend, (2) at least one polyalkylsilsesquioxane resin, (3) at least one siloxane resin, (4) at least one polymeric filler, and (5) at least one mineral filler.
The cosmetic compositions may be useful, in certain embodiments, for users having deeper ethnic skin tones. The cosmetic compositions may, in some embodiments, impart true color while reducing the appearance of ashiness, whiteness, and/or dullness of the skin.
As used herein, the term “deeper ethnic skin tones” is intended to refer to those skin tones that are darker and tend to have more pronounced and deeper red, red/yellow, and yellow undertones. Users with deeper ethnic skin tones may belong to ethnicities including, but not limited to, African, African-American, Caribbean, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, and Indian ethnicities.
As used herein, the term “true color” is intended to refer to a color or shade that is most accurate or closest to the tone of the keratinous substrate to which it is applied. For instance, in at least certain exemplary embodiments, a composition that imparts true color according to the disclosure closely matches the skin tone without leaving an ashy, dull, white, and/or gray appearance. True color refers to the color obtained not only upon application to the keratinous substrate, but also after drying.
As used herein, the terms “ashy,” “ashiness” and variations thereof are intended to refer to the appearance of a gray overcast on the skin or keratinous substrate after the product has been applied and evaluated after drying.

Film-Forming Polymers
As used herein, the terms “film-forming polymer,” “film former” and variations thereof mean a polymer capable of, by itself or in the presence of an auxiliary film-forming agent, forming a continuous or substantially continuous film that adheres to a support, and especially to keratin materials, for instance, the skin.
The cosmetic compositions disclosed herein comprise at least one polyalkylsilsesquioxane film-forming resin. In some embodiments, the compositions may comprise one or more additional film-forming polymers, for example, vinyl (co)polymers, (meth)acrylic (co)polymers, and mixtures thereof. According to various embodiments, the at least one film-forming polymer is a polypropylsilsesquioxane resin. In other embodiments, the at least one film-forming polymer is a mixture of at least one polypropylsilsesquioxane resin and at least one acrylic film-forming polymer.
Silsesquioxane resins are a specific form of silicone resins. Silicone resin nomenclature is known in the art as “MDTQ” nomenclature, whereby a silicone resin is described according to the various monomeric siloxane units which make up the polymer. Each letter of “MDTQ” denotes a different type of unit.
The letter M denotes the monofunctional unit R3SiO1/2. This unit is considered to be monofunctional because the silicone atom only shares one oxygen when the unit is part of a polymer. The symbol D denotes the difunctional unit RSiO2/2 wherein two oxygen atoms bonded to the silicone atom are used for binding to the rest of the polymer. The symbol T denotes the trifunctional unit RSiO3/2, wherein three oxygen atoms bonded to the silicone atom are bonded to the rest of the polymer. The symbol Q denotes the tetrafunctional unit SiC4/2, wherein all four oxygens bonded to the silicone atom are bonded to the rest of the polymer. Non-limiting examples of suitable R groups in the M, D, and T units include alkyl groups, alkene groups, alkyne groups, hydroxyl groups, thiol groups, ester groups, acid groups, ether groups, phenyl groups, alkoxy groups, which may be optionally substituted.
When the film forming resin is made up predominantly of trifunctional units or T units, it is generally called a silsesquioxane resin. If R in the T unit is chosen, for example, from methyl, the resin is called a polymethylsilsesquioxane. A non-limiting example of the at least one polymethylsilsesquioxane film former is Belsil PMS MK, also referred to as Resin MK, available from Wacker Chemie AG. This polymethylsilsesquioxane film former is a polymer comprising polymerized repeating units of CH3SiO3/2 (T units) and may also contain up to 1% by weight or by mole of units of the formula (CH3)2SiO2/2 (D units). The weight-average molecular weight of this polymer has been estimated to be 10,000.
When the film forming resin is made up predominantly of trifunctional RSiO3/2 T units, wherein R is a propyl radical, it is called a polypropylsilsesquioxane. Polypropylsilsesquioxane resins may be obtained, for example, via hydrolysis and condensation of propyltrichlorosilane. The resin may, in certain embodiments, be a mixture of a T-propyl resin or a propyl-T resin with a carrier solvent. The carrier solvent may be chosen from any suitable volatile solvent such as, for example, C13-C14 isoparaffins, isododecane, isoeicosane, and isohexadecane.

The at least one coloring agent used in the compositions of the instant disclosure may be used in their raw form or may be pretreated, for example by way of surface-treatment. The aim of this treatment is generally to increase the stability of the color and to facilitate their incorporation into cosmetic formulations. In particular, coloring agents treated in order to make them hydrophobic will be more readily dispersible in an oily phase.
For example, the coloring agent may be surface-treated with a hydrophobic and oil-repellant agent of the perfluoroalkyl phosphate derivative type, as described in EP 1 086 683. The coloring agents may also be surface treated with a material that makes them compatible with the oily phases, such as the silicone phases used in certain cosmetic formulations. Pigments of this type are described, for example, in patent U.S. Pat. No. 5,143,722.
Coloring agents suitable for use in accordance with the instant disclosure may include, but are not limited to, brown iron oxide and yellow iron oxide, optionally coated with perfluoroalkyl phosphate, and titanium oxide optionally treated with alumina and/or coated with perfluoroalkyl phosphate, such as the pigmentary pastes sold under the trade names Yellow Iron Oxide Covafluor, PF5 Yellow 601 (yellow) and PF5 Red R516L (red), PF 5 Black BL100 by the company Daito, and those sold under the trade names FA50DRF, FA50DYF, FA65DF and FA65 DBF by the company Kobo; ultramarine blue optionally coated with perfluoroalkyl phosphate, such as the product sold under the trade name PF 5 Ultramarine No. 801 by the company Daito; the disodium salts of tartrazine and the aluminium lakes of Allura red on alumina sold by the company Noveon under the names FDC Yellow No. 6, A1 Lake and FDC Yellow No. 5 A1 Lake, and mixtures thereof.
Alternatively the coloring agent may be chosen from those treated with at least one amino acid, which may exhibit improved affinity for the skin for example, pigments from Miyoshi Kasei sold under the names NA1-C33-8001-10, NAI-C33-8001-10, NA1-C33-7001-10, and NA1-C33-9001-10.
It is within the ability of one skilled in the art to select the coloring agents and their amounts to adjust the color of the composition to create the desired effect, for example to adjust the bulk color of the composition and/or the color of the composition on the skin. Generally, the at least one coloring agent may be present in the composition in an amount ranging from about 0.5% to about 30% by weight, for example, from about 2% to about 20% by weight, or from about 5% to about 15% by weight.
One embodiment of the disclosure relates to cosmetic compositions comprising (1) at least one silicone elastomer blend chosen from dimethicone cross-polymers dispersed in a silicone oil, (2) at least one film-forming polymer chosen from polypropylsilsesquioxane resins, (3) at least one siloxane resin chosen from vinyl dimethicone/methicone silsesquioxane cross-polymers, (4) at least one polymeric filler chosen from polyamide powders, and (5) at least one mineral filler chosen from silica powders.
In one exemplary embodiment, the silicone elastomer blend may, by way of example, be a dimethicone cross-polymer dispersed in dimethicone, such as, for example, Dow Corning® 9041 sold by Dow Corning. In various exemplary embodiments, the at least one polypropylsilsesquioxane resin may be Dow Corning® 680 ID Fluid sold by Dow Corning. In other exemplary embodiments, the at least one siloxane resin may be chosen from products sold by Shin-Etsu under the KSP product line, for example, KSP-100, KSP-101, and KSP-105. In yet another exemplary embodiment, the at least one polymeric filler may, by way of example, be a Nylon powder, such as, for example Nylon-12 from Arkema. In a further embodiment, the at least one mineral filler may be chosen from silica microspheres, such as those sold by AGC SI-Tech under the name Sunsphere® H51.
In addition, other cosmetic ingredients may be included in the compositions according to the disclosure. Such ingredients are known, and include but are not limited to humectants, emulsifiers, surfactants, preservatives, fragrances, thickeners or texturizers, fatty compounds, emollients, coalescents, and/or plasticizers. One of skill in the art will be able to select appropriate types and amounts of additional cosmetic ingredients, based on, for example, the type of cosmetic composition being formulated and the desired properties thereof. By way of example only, such additional cosmetic ingredients may be present in the compositions according to the disclosure in a combined amount ranging from about 10% to about 80%, such as about 15% to about 60%, about 25% to about 40%, or about 30% to about 35%, including all ranges and subranges therebetween.
Exemplary cosmetic compositions contemplated according to the disclosure include compositions are intended for application to a keratinous substrate, such as the skin. Such compositions may include, but are not limited to, make-up compositions, such as liquid foundations and powders.
Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the combination of the at least one polyalkylsilsesquioxane resin, at least one siloxane resin, and at least one silicone elastomer blend as described herein surprisingly and unexpectedly allows for the incorporation of polymeric and/or mineral fillers in amounts sufficient to absorb oil and/or reduce shine while also reducing the appearance of ashiness and/or dullness of the skin. By way of example only, foundation formulations described herein have been found to have one or more improved properties, such as improved oil absorption, shine reduction, matte, texture, long-wear properties, and/or ability to impart true color, while also reducing dullness, whiteness, and/or ashiness of the skin. It should be noted, however, that compositions according to the disclosure may not have one or more of the above-referenced improved properties, yet such compositions are intended to be within the scope of the disclosure.
Cosmetic Method
The instant disclosure also relates to a cosmetic method for making up and/or enhancing the appearance of a keratinous substrate, the method comprising applying to the keratinous substrate a composition comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, (1) at least one silicone elastomer blend, (2) at least one film-forming polymer chosen from polyalkylsilsesquioxane resins, (3) at least one siloxane resin, (4) at least one polymeric filler, and (5) at least one mineral filler. All embodiments disclosed above with respect to the cosmetic compositions are equally applicable to the cosmetic method and are intended to fall within the scope of the disclosure.
According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a cosmetic method for making up the skin, such as the facial skin, is provided. This method may, in certain embodiments, comprise the steps of loading an applicator, such as a sponge or pad, with a cosmetic composition disclosed herein, and applying said cosmetic composition onto the skin. In other embodiments, the user may apply the composition to the skin using the fingers. According to certain embodiments, the cosmetic composition may be applied to the skin more than once, such as twice or more, according to the cosmetic effect desired by the user.
The cosmetic composition according to the invention may be packed in a cosmetic container delimiting at least one compartment which comprises the cosmetic composition, the container being closed by a closing member.
It is to be understood that both the foregoing description and the following Examples are exemplary and explanatory only, and are not to be interpreted as restrictive of the disclosure. Moreover, it should be understood that various features and/or characteristics of differing embodiments herein may be combined with one another. It is therefore to be understood that numerous modifications may be made to the illustrative embodiments and that other arrangements may be devised without departing from the scope of the invention. Other embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art from consideration of the disclosure and practice of the various exemplary embodiments disclosed herein.
It is also to be understood that, as used herein the terms “the,” “a,” or “an,” mean “at least one,” and should not be limited to “only one” unless explicitly indicated to the contrary. Thus, for example, the use of “a siloxane resin” is intended to mean at least one siloxane resin.
Unless otherwise indicated, all numbers used in the specification and claims are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term “about,” whether or not so stated. It should also be understood that the precise numerical values used in the specification and claims form additional embodiments of the invention, and are intended to include any ranges which can be narrowed to any two end points disclosed within the exemplary ranges and values provided. Efforts have been made to ensure the accuracy of the numerical values disclosed herein. Any measured numerical value, however, can inherently contain certain errors resulting from the standard deviation found in its respective measuring technique.
The following Examples are intended to be non-restrictive and explanatory only, with the scope of the invention being defined by the claims.
Liquid Foundation Composition
The following composition was prepared by mixing, independently, the components set forth in the following Table 1.
Instrumental Evaluation
Method
The inventive composition and a comparative composition (True Match by L′Oreal) were subjected to instrumental testing. True Match is a similar foundation composition, but does not comprise a siloxane resin or a silicone elastomer blend as described herein.
Each composition was applied to one-half of the face of 16 women with oily skin, ages 18-60. Each composition was applied in an amount of 0.70 mg/cm3, or approximately 100 mg per half of the face. The matte appearance of the skin was evaluated at three separate times, T0 (baseline, bare skin 15 minutes after cleansing),
Timm (made-up skin 10 minutes after makeup application), and T3hr (made-up skin 3 hours after makeup application), using a chromasphere and polarimetric camera.
Results
The difference of matte appearance between time points was determined for Timm-T0, T3hr-T0, and T3hr-Timm and is expressed as an average in Table 2 below. Negative values indicate that the skin had a higher matte appearance in the later measurement. For example, in the case of Timm-T0, a negative value indicates that the skin was more matte at Timm than at T0. Similarly, positive values indicate that the skin had a higher matte appearance in the earlier measurement. For instance, in the case of T3hr-Timm, a positive value indicates that the skin was more matte at Timm than at T3hr.
As shown in Table 2 above, when evaluating the immediate effect of the compositions on the matte appearance of the skin (Timm-T0), the inventive composition substantially outperformed L'Oréal True Match. Similarly, when evaluating the long wear matte effect of the compositions (T3hr-T0), the inventive composition provided a substantially greater matte effect as compared to L'Oréal True Match. These values were analyzed for statistical significance using the Student's t-test (a=0.05) and determined to be statistically different. Finally, when evaluating the matte appearance with wear over time (T3hr-Timm), it was determined that the inventive composition and True Match performed similarly, i.e., the values were not significantly different from each other, as analyzed using the Student's t-test (a=0.05).
Accordingly, the inventive composition was found to be unexpectedly superior to L'Oréal's True Match product, in terms of providing an improved matte appearance to the skin both upon immediate application of the composition and after a period of long wear, as evaluated by instrumental analysis.
Consumer Panel Monadic Evaluation
Method
Three different shades of the inventive composition were prepared by varying the amount and type of pigments used in the formulations, but without substantially changing the overall formulation presented in Table 1 above. The three shades (light, medium, and dark) were tested by a panel of 34 women of color, according to the shade of their skin tone. 3 women evaluated the light shade, 25 women evaluated the medium shade, and 6 women evaluated the dark shade.
Results
The panel was asked to evaluate the inventive composition on its own, without comparison to any other product. The results of this evaluation are illustrated in the following Tables 4 and 5. In Table 4, qualitative measures of various cosmetic properties were provided by the consumers. In Table 5, quantitative measures of various cosmetic properties were provided by the consumers, on a scale of 1 to 9, with 1 being very dissatisfied and 9 being very satisfied. The mean value among the 34 women for each property was calculated and is represented below in Table 5.
As shown in Tables 4 and 5 above, a large majority of users found the product to be very satisfactory, providing a non-ashy, natural appearance to the skin, while also having a pleasing texture, non-greasy feel, and moisturizing effect. Accordingly, the inventive composition surprisingly provides a matte texture to skin of deeper ethnic tones, while also providing oil and/or shine control, and reducing the appearance of ashiness of the skin.
Expert Panel Comparative Evaluation
Method
A panel of ten sensory experts evaluated the cosmetic properties of the inventive composition as compared to True Match by L'Oréal, including application, skin feel, appearance, and wear attributes. The panelists were experts trained in the application and evaluation of liquid foundation products, able to detect small difference not always perceivable by the average consumer. The compositions were evaluated using a sequential monadic test design in which the samples were presented to panelists in randomized order within the replication block and across panelists.
The panelists first used a standard cleanser to wash their faces before product application. The skin was allowed to equilibrate for 10 minutes. The panelists applied 0.025 ml of product to half of the forehead, 0.050 ml of product to one cheek, and 0.025 ml of the product to one half of the jaw line using their fingers. The product was then smoothed or blended as appropriate for the evaluation.
The compositions were rated using a 15-point universal intensity scale, where 0 represents no intensity and 15 represents high intensity. The compositions were evaluated during and after application, as well as after 4 and 8 hours of wear. Each evaluation was performed in duplicate and a mean value calculated. The results of this testing are illustrated in the following Table 6. Statistically significant differences (95% confidence; p-value=0.05) are bolded and shaded in gray.
As shown in Table 6 above, according to the expert panel, True Match by L'Oréal produced a cosmetic effect that was significantly more greasy and shiny at all points of evaluation (upon application, after 4 hours of wear, and after 8 hours of wear) as compared to the inventive composition. In addition, L'Oréal True Match was found to impart significantly more tackiness and added moisture upon application and after 4 hours of wear. Accordingly, the inventive composition was surprisingly found to have improved oil and/or shine reduction as compared to the commercial product True Match by L'Oréal (not comprising a siloxane resin or silicone elastomer blend as described herein).
