The present invention relates to a cosmetic or dermatological composition comprising, in a physiologically acceptable support:
a) at least one merocyanine of formula (1) or (2) which will be defined in more detail hereinbelow and
b) at least one oily phase comprising at least one specific polyalkylene glycol.
The present invention relates to a non-therapeutic cosmetic process for caring for and/or making up a keratin material, comprising the application, to the surface of the said keratin material, of at least one composition according to the invention as defined above.
The invention also relates to a non-therapeutic cosmetic process for limiting the darkening of the skin and/or improving the colour and/or uniformity of the complexion, comprising the application, to the surface of the keratin material, of at least one composition as defined previously.
The invention also relates to a non-therapeutic cosmetic process for preventing and/or treating the signs of ageing of a keratin material, comprising the application, to the surface of the keratin material, of at least one composition as defined previously.
It is known that radiation with wavelengths of between 280 nm and 400 nm permits tanning of the human epidermis and that radiation with wavelengths of between 280 and 320 nm, known as UV-B rays, harms the development of a natural tan. Exposure is also liable to bring about a detrimental change in the biomechanical properties of the epidermis, which is reflected by the appearance of wrinkles, leading to premature ageing of the skin.
It is also known that UV-A rays with wavelengths of between 320 and 400 nm penetrate more deeply into the skin than UV-B rays. UV-A rays cause immediate and persistent browning of the skin. Daily exposure to UVA rays, even of short duration, under normal conditions can result in damage to the collagen fibres and the elastin, which is reflected by a modification in the microrelief of the skin, the appearance of wrinkles and uneven pigmentation (liver spots, lack of uniformity of the complexion).
Protection against UVA and UVB rays is thus necessary. An efficient photoprotective product should protect against both UVA and UVB radiation.
Many photoprotective compositions have been proposed to date to overcome the effects induced by UVA and/or UVB radiation. They generally contain organic or mineral UV-screening agents, which function according to their own chemical nature and according to their own properties by absorption, reflection or scattering of the UV radiation. They generally comprise mixtures of liposoluble organic screening agents and/or water-soluble UV screening agents in combination with metal oxide pigments, such as titanium dioxide or zinc oxide.
Many cosmetic compositions for limiting the darkening of the skin and improving the colour and uniformity of the complexion have been proposed to date. It is well known in the field of antisun products that such compositions may be obtained by using UV-screening agents, and in particular UVB-screening agents. Certain compositions may also contain UVA-screening agents. This screening system should cover UVB protection for the purpose of limiting and controlling the neosynthesis of melanin, which promotes the overall pigmentation, but should also cover UVA protection so as to limit and control the oxidation of the already-existing melanin leading to darkening of the skin colour.
However, it is extremely difficult to find a composition which contains a particular combination of UV-screening agents that would be especially suited to photoprotecting the skin and particularly to improving the quality of the skin as regards both the colour and its mechanical elasticity properties.
Advantageously, this improvement is particularly sought on already-pigmented skin so as not to increase the melanin pigmentary load or the structure of the melanin already present in the skin.
In point of fact, the majority of the organic UV-screening agents consist of aromatic compounds which absorb in the wavelength range between 280 and 370 nm. In addition to their power for screening out sunlight, the desired photoprotective compounds should also have good cosmetic properties, good solubility in the usual solvents and in particular in fatty substances such as oils, and also good photostability alone or in combination with other UV-screening agents. They should also be colourless or at least have a colour that is cosmetically acceptable to the consumer.
One of the main drawbacks known to date of these compositions is that these screening systems are insufficiently effective against UV rays and in particular against long UVA rays with wavelengths beyond 370 nm, for the purpose of controlling photo-induced pigmentation and its evolution by means of a system for screening out UV over the entire UV spectrum.
Among all the compounds that have been recommended for this purpose an advantageous family of UV-screening agents has been proposed, which consists of carbon-bearing merocyanine derivatives, which is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,195,999, patent application WO 2004/006 878 and the document IP COM Journal 4 (4), 16 No. IPCOM000011179D published on Apr. 3, 2004. These compounds have very good screening properties in the range of long UVA rays but show relatively unsatisfactory solubility in the usual solvents and in particular in fatty substances such as oils, and unsatisfactory photostability for certain merocyanines.
With the aim of discovering other merocyanines that have better solubility in the usual solvents and better photostability, the patent application WO 2013/011094 proposed merocyanines comprising polar groups consisting of hydroxyl and ether functions, which show good efficacy for screening out long UVA. However, the solubility in oils of these particular merocyanines is still not entirely satisfactory, and often requires a laborious formulation process. Moreover, the large amounts of solvent required to dissolve this type of merocyanine may result in cosmetic drawbacks such as a tacky and greasy effect on application.
There is thus still a need to improve the solubility of these merocyanines in photoprotective formulations comprising at least one oily phase.
The Applicant has discovered, surprisingly, that by using a polyalkylene glycol, it is possible to substantially improve the solubility of these merocyanines in an oily phase. This discovery forms the basis of the present invention.
Thus, in accordance with one of the objects of the present invention, a cosmetic or dermatological composition is now proposed, comprising, in a physiologically acceptable support:
Moreover, there is also still a need to improve the solubility of merocyanines in the presence of organic screening agents. Specifically, the addition of additional screening agents may destabilize compositions comprising a merocyanine.
The Applicant has discovered, surprisingly, that by using a particular polyalkylene glycol, it was possible to substantially improve the solubility of these merocyanines in an oily phase in the presence of additional organic UV-screening agents.
The present invention also relates to a non-therapeutic cosmetic process for caring for and/or making up a keratin material, comprising the application, to the surface of the said keratin material, of at least one composition according to the invention as defined above.
The invention also relates to a non-therapeutic cosmetic process for limiting the darkening of the skin and/or improving the colour and/or uniformity of the complexion, comprising the application, to the surface of the keratin material, of at least one composition as defined previously.

The cosmetic compositions according to the invention may be used, for example, as makeup products.
Another subject of the present invention consists of a non-therapeutic cosmetic process for caring for and/or making up a keratin material, which consists in applying, to the surface of the said keratin material, at least one composition according to the invention as defined above.
The cosmetic compositions according to the invention may be used, for example, as care products and/or antisun protection products for the face and/or the body, of liquid to semi-liquid consistency, such as milks, more or less smooth creams, gel creams, and pastes. They may optionally be packaged in aerosol form and may be in the form of a mousse or a spray.
The compositions according to the invention in the form of vaporizable fluid lotions in accordance with the invention are applied to the skin or the hair in the form of fine particles by means of pressurization devices. The devices in accordance with the invention are well known to those skilled in the art and comprise non-aerosol pumps or “atomizers”, aerosol containers comprising a propellant and aerosol pumps using compressed air as propellant. These devices are described in patents U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,077,441 and 4,850,517.
The compositions packaged as an aerosol in accordance with the invention generally comprise conventional propellants, such as, for example, hydrofluoro compounds, dichlorodifluoromethane, difluoroethane, dimethyl ether, isobutane, n-butane, propane or trichlorofluoromethane. They are preferably present in amounts ranging from 15% to 50% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.
Assembly
According to another aspect, the invention also relates to a cosmetic assembly comprising:
i) a container delimiting one or more compartment(s), the said container being closed by a closing member and optionally not being leaktight; and
ii) a makeup and/or care composition in accordance with the invention placed inside the said compartment(s).
The container may be, for example, in the form of a jar or a box.
The closing member may be in the form of a lid comprising a cap mounted so as to be able to move by translation or by pivoting relative to the container housing the said makeup and/or care composition(s).
The examples that follow serve to illustrate the invention without, however, being limiting in nature. In these examples, the amounts of the composition ingredients are given as % by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition.

Solubility Evaluation Protocol
The solubility of the merocyanine in the oily solutions is evaluated macroscopically and microscopically. It is estimated that the merocyanine is soluble if, at room temperature, the solution appears clear and translucent to the eye, and if it does not have any visible crystals under a microscope in white or polarized light (×20 to ×40 objective lens). The solubility is evaluated at room temperature, on the day of the preparation of the solution, then over time. During this interval, the solutions are stored at room temperature and at 4° C.
