Homogeneous anhydrous composition comprising in combination at least one fluorous oil and at least one fluorous wax having a carbonaceous skeleton.This composition finds an application in the preparation of makeup or care products.

Description

This invention has as its subject a homogeneous anhydrous composition comprising in combination at least one fluorous oil and at least one fluorous wax having a carbonaceous skeleton.

This invention also has as its subject makeup or care products containing such anhydrous composition.

The use of fluorous oils in the formulation of cosmetic compositions is sought particularly to the extent that the fluorous oils impart good filmogenic properties and resistance to water and sebum.

Such compositions nonetheless are difficult to achieve, because of the inherent incompatibility of the fluorous oils with numerous polar and apolar hydrocarbonaceous compounds.

Homogeneous combinations of fluorous oils and waxes already have been achieved with the aid of surfactants, but until the present time it has not been possible to obtain in particular fluorous-oil-based anhydrous compositions in the absence of surfactants.

Following numerous studies on various types of compounds, it was found in a surprising and unexpected manner that anhydrous mixtures with complete homogeneity could be achieved by combining certain fluorous oils with at least one fluorous wax having a carbonaceous skeleton.

In addition, it was noted that this particular combination advantageously could constitute the fatty phase of various makeup and care compositions affording in particular an excellent texture and, after application, imparting a considerable softness and a pleasing feel to the skin.

This invention, therefore, has as its subject a homogeneous anhydrous composition or phase comprising in combination at least one fluorous oil and at least one fluorous wax having a carbonaceous skeleton, possibly interrupted by an oxygen atom.

By the term “fluorous wax having a carbonaceous skeleton” is understood a compound solid at room temperature, having a melting point in excess of or equal to approximately 30° C. and containing a number of fluorine atoms preferably in excess of that of the hydrogen atoms, the carbonaceous skeleton possibly being interrupted by at least one oxygen atom.
