Long wearing emulsion composition for making up eyes and skin

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The invention is in the field of compositions for application to eyebrows and eyelashes to impart color, or for use in lining the eyes with color, or application to the skin as in a facial or body tattoo, or to the lips as a lip color.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Many women use a variety of products to beautify the eyes, including brow color, eyeshadow, mascara, and eyeliner. Such products accentuate the eyes and in the case of lash products, will also give the appearance of longer lashes.

[0003] One of the common problems with eye products such as liners and mascara is that they often do not wear for long periods of time and have a tendency to smudge. With respect to eyeliner, more adventurous consumers have addressed this problem by having “permanent” eyeliner essentially tattooed onto the eyelids. This is a permanent cosmetic procedure and the eyeliner is not removable.

[0004] Cosmetic manufacturers are constantly exploring new formulas for such products that will fill the need gaps of longer wear and reduced smudging in a way that will not necessitate visits to beauty salons to have permanent cosmetics tattooed into the skin. The desired cosmetics should provide long lasting, durable wear, preferably one or more days, and be removable by the consumer whenever desired. In addition, the color should be rich and as natural looking as possible.

[0005] Typically, products for making up the eyes contain inorganic iron oxide pigments in an emulsion. Iron oxides are water insoluble and are generally ground with one or more oils in the composition to form what is referred to as a pigment grind. For example, traditional mascaras are mixtures of waxes, oils, and inorganic pigments. They may be anhydrous or in the emulsion form. Many of the so-called water resistant mascaras are anhydrous while traditional mascaras are often in the emulsion form. These types of mascaras are generally applied to the lashes and wear for periods of time ranging from several hours to one day. Users usually remove what remains of such products at the end of the day by washing with water. Another problem associated with such mascaras is their tendency to smudge when the user becomes warm or wears eye makeup that is oily. Moreover, since such products contain significant levels of wax and oil, the inorganic pigments that provide color may tend to be muted. This in turn provides a more artificial look to mascara coated lashes.

[0006] Similarly, eyeliner is usually a liquid product or in a pencil form. It is applied to the upper and lower lids to accentuate the eye area. While eyeliner is a very desirable beauty product, it tends to smudge very readily, especially when worn on lower lashes. The smudging is due, in part, to the solubilizing of the dried eyeliner formula by skin oils, perspiration, and tears. Again, the iron oxides typically used to provide color to such products are muted and matte in tone, sometimes providing an artificial look to the liner especially when the color is very dark.

[0007] The major need gaps in the field of lash, brow, lip, and liner products relates to creating a color that has a rich, deep, natural tone, and at the same time providing a product that has the capability of extended wear (one or more days) if desired by the consumer, and where negative tendencies such as smudging upon exposure to perspiration, tears, and environmental assaults are reduced or eliminated.

[0008] Organic pigments are well known for use in cosmetic compositions. They are particularly desirable because the colors provide a very rich intensity that is not found with traditional inorganic pigments. However, because most organic colors are water soluble, it is difficult to incorporate them into long wearing cosmetics because if the cosmetic user comes into contact with the water such as perspiration, raindrops, etc. the organic pigments readily dissolve in the water and tend to run on the skin and hair. Further, organic pigments are generally not compatible in non-aqueous systems at any appreciable concentration, so they cannot be used in amounts large enough to impart significant color to the composition.

[0009] The object of the invention is to prepare emulsion products for making up the eyes and skin, such as mascara compositions (or lash tints), brow color, eyeliner, lip color, facial or body tattoos that exhibit extended wear, look natural, provide a rich color, and exhibit reduced smudging.

[0010] Another object of the invention is to provide emulsion eye or face products that are capable of wearing for one to five days and provide a natural appearance.

[0011] Another object of the invention is to provide commercially acceptable, stable, emulsion products for making up the eyes where the color is obtained with the use of organic pigments.

[0016] The invention further comprises a water and oil emulsion composition for making up the eyes and skin comprising at least one film former, and at least one organic pigment, wherein the composition does not contain any wax.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The composition is generally in the form of a water-in-oil or oil-in-water emulsion and contains a water phase and an oil phase. Preferably, the composition of the invention has a viscosity ranging from 1000 to 500,000, more preferably 5000 to 250,000, most preferably 7000 to 120,000 centipoise at 25° C. Preferably, the organic pigments used in the claimed compositions comprise the main color component of the composition. The term “main color component” means that the organic pigments are present in an amount sufficient to provide color to the composition, meaning that if the amount of organic pigment which is present is removed the color of the composition will be different when a sample of that composition is drawn across the back of the hand, for example, and visually observed with the naked eye. Preferably, the organic pigments provide at least about 0.1-95%, preferably at least about 45-80%, most preferably at least about 80-90% of the color of the claimed composition. In the most preferred embodiment, the organic pigments provide about 100% of the color of the claimed composition (meaning that when the entire pigment concentration is measured, the percentage of organic pigments in the entire pigment load is reflected in the percentage mentioned). It is possible that the claimed compositions may contain one or more inorganic pigments including but not limited to metal oxides such as titanium, iron, oxides such as black, red, yellow, green, and blue, and similar organic powders.

[0018] Certain preferred compositions are free of natural and synthetic waxes. Certain more preferred compositions are free of organic, solid, non-polymeric oil phase gelling agents. The term “solid” means that the gelling agent is a solid at room temperature. The term “gelling agent” means an ingredient that is included in the composition for the purpose of gelling, or increasing the viscosity of the composition from a liquid state to a less liquid or more solid state. The term “oil phase” when used in describing the organic, solid, non-polymeric oil phase gelling agent means that the gelling agent is soluble in the oil phase of the emulsion composition. Examples of organic, solid, non-polymeric gelling agents are described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,214,329 which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. In particular, the claimed compositions are free of organic, solid, non-polymeric gelling agents such as fatty acids, fatty acid esters, N-acyl amino acids, or esters or amides thereof; 12-hydroxystearic acid and esters and amides thereof; fatty acid esters of di- or trifunctional alcohol dimers; alkylamides of di- and tricarboxylic acids; or mixtures thereof The term ‘free of’ means that the compositions do not contain any appreciable amount of the solid, organic, non-polymeric agent, e.g. less than about 5%, preferably less than about 1%. Most preferred is where the compositions do not contain a wax, and/or a solid, organic, non-polymeric gelling agent.

[0019] I. The Water Phase

[0020] The claimed compositions are in the form of a water-in-oil or oil-in-water emulsion. The range and content of the oil and water phases will depend on the pigments and other ingredients used, and wide ranges of both phases are suitable provided the emulsion is stable and commercially acceptable. Preferred ranges are about 0.1-95% water and about 0.1-99.9% oil, all percentages by weight of the total composition. Preferably, the emulsion is a water in oil emulsion comprising about 0.001-50%, preferably 0.01-25%, more preferably 0.0-10% by weight of the total composition of water, and about 50-99.999%, preferably 75-99.99%, more preferably 90-99.9% by weight of the total composition of oil.

[0021] II. Pigments and Particulate Fillers

[0022] A. Organic Pigments

[0023] The composition of the invention preferably comprises about 0.05-30%, preferably about 0.1-25%, more preferably about 0.5-20% by weight of the total composition of one or more water soluble or water insoluble organic pigments or salts thereof. If the organic pigments are water insoluble (e.g. the Lakes), the organic pigments should be dispersible in the oil phase of the emulsion. In the event the organic pigments are water soluble, they should be soluble in the water phase of the emulsion. Particularly preferred are water soluble organic pigments that are red, green, blue, yellow, violet, orange, and mixtures thereof, or the water insoluble Lakes of such pigments, which means that the water soluble organic pigment is reacted with one or more metal salts such as calcium, aluminum, barium, zirconium, and the like to form salts. Particularly preferred water insoluble organic pigments are the aluminum Lakes of the organic pigments, which is where the organic pigment is reacted with aluminum to form the water insoluble aluminum salt. Formation of the metal salt of the organic pigment will generally convert the pigment from a water soluble pigment into a water insoluble pigment. Examples of organic pigment families that may be used herein include azo, (including monoazo and diazo), fluoran, xanthene, indigoid, triphenylmethane, anthroquinone, pyrene, pyrazole, quinoline, quinoline, or metallic salts thereof. Preferred are D&C colors, FD&C colors, or Lakes of D&C or FD&C colors. The term “D&C” means drug and cosmetic colors that are approved for use in drugs and cosmetics by the FDA. The term “FD&C” means food, drug, and cosmetic colors which are approved for use in foods, drugs, and cosmetics by the FDA. Certified D&C and FD&C colors are listed in 21 CFR 74.101 et seq. and include the FD&C colors Blue 1, Blue 2, Green 3, Orange B, Citrus Red 2, Red 3, Red 4, Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, Blue 2; Orange B, Citrus Red 2; and the D&C colors Blue 4, Blue 9, Green 5, Green 6, Green 8, Orange 4, Orange 5, Orange 10, Orange 11, Red 6, Red 7, Red 17, Red 21, Red 22, Red 27, Red 28, Red 30, Red 31, Red 33, Red 34, Red 36, Red 39, Violet 2, Yellow 7, Yellow 8, Yellow 10, Yellow 11, Blue 4, Blue 6, Green 5, Green 6, Green 8, Orange 4, Orange 5, Orange 10, Orange 11, and so on. Suitable Lakes of D&C and FD&C colors are defined in 21 CFR 82.51. Particularly preferred are Lakes formed by the reaction of the organic pigment with a metallic salt such as aluminum, calcium, zirconium, barium, and the like. Suitable reds include pigments from the monoazo, disazo, fluoran, xanthene, or indigoid families or Lakes thereof, such as Red 4, 6, 7, 17, 21, 22, 27, 28, 30, 31, 33, 34, 36, and Red 40. Also suitable are Lakes of such red pigments. Typically the metal salts are aluminum, barium, and the like.

[0024] Suitable yellows include wherein the yellow pigment is a pyrazole, monoazo, fluoran, xanthene, quinoline, or salt thereof Suitable yellows include Yellow 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, and 11, as well as Lakes of such yellow pigments.

[0025] Suitable violets include those from the anthroquinone family, such as Violet 2 and Lakes thereof. Examples of orange pigments are Orange 4, 5, 10, 11, or Lakes thereof.

[0026] Preferably, the organic pigments form the main color component of the invention meaning that the color of the composition is attributable to the organic pigments, however such organic pigments may be present alone or in combination with one or more inorganic pigments. In one particularly preferred embodiment of the invention the composition is a lash color that is rich dark brown or black in color, which is achieved through the use of a combination of organic pigments which are not black or brown in color. The rich deep brown or black color may be achieved by combining organic pigments or Lakes thereof in the red, green, yellow, blue, violet, and orange family. Preferably the lash tint comprises a mixture of red, green, yellow, and blue organic pigments or Lakes thereof and is deep brown or black in color. In the most preferred composition the pigments comprise a mixture of water soluble red, green, yellow, and blue organic pigments. These preferred compositions may comprise organic pigments in Lake form, however, since such pigments are water insoluble, they will be dispersed in the oil phase of the emulsion. The emulsion compositions may contain any combination of water soluble and water insoluble pigments so long as the compositions are stable. The most preferred compositions of the invention are dark brown or black in color and are free of iron oxides, particularly black iron oxide, or contain such iron oxides in amounts less than about 5-10% by weight.

[0027] B. Inorganic Pigments

[0028] In the event the claimed composition contains inorganic pigments, preferred is where the amount is sufficient to accentuate the color achieved with the organic pigment but not obscure the intensity of the organic pigments. Preferred ranges include about 0.001-15%, preferably about 0.005-10%, more preferably about 0.01-8% by weight of the total composition. Suitable inorganic pigments include iron oxides such as red, blue, black, green, and yellow; titanium dioxide, bismuth oxychloride, and the like. Preferred are iron oxides, Such inorganic pigments may be found in the water or oil phases depending on their solubilities. For example, iron oxides are usually water soluble and will migrate to the oil phase. On the other hand, iron oxides treated with hydrophobic agents such as silicone, lecithin, mineral oil, or similar materials, will cause the pigment to be hydrophobic in nature and migrate to the oil phase of the composition.

[0029] C. Particulate Fillers

[0030] It may also be desirable to include one or more particulate fillers in the claimed composition. If so, suggested ranges are about 0.001-40%, preferably about 0.05-35%, more preferably about 0.1-30% by weight of the total composition. Preferably, the particulate matter has a particle size of 0.02 to 100, preferably 0.5 to 100, microns. Such particulate fillers may be part of the oil or water phases, however it is preferred that they be incorporated into the oil phase whenever compatible therewith. Suitable particle fillers include titanated mica, fumed silica, spherical silica, polymethylmethacrylate, micronized teflon, boron nitride, acrylate copolymers, aluminum silicate, aluminum starch octenylsuccinate, bentonite, calcium silicate, cellulose, chalk, corn starch, diatomaceous earth, fuller's earth, glyceryl starch, hectorite, hydrated silica, kaolin, magnesium aluminum silicate, magnesium trisilicate, maltodextrin, montmorillonite, microcrystalline cellulose, rice starch, silk powder, silica, talc, mica, zinc laurate, zinc myristate, zinc rosinate, alumina, attapulgite, calcium carbonate, calcium silicate, dextran, kaolin, nylon, silica silylate, sericite, soy flour, tin oxide, titanium hydroxide, trimagnesium phosphate, walnut shell powder, or mixtures thereof The above mentioned powders may be surface treated with lecithin, amino acids, mineral oil, silicone oil or various other agents either alone or in combination, which coat the powder surface and render the particles more lipophilic in nature.

[0031] III. Oil Phase

[0032] The composition comprises about 0.1-85%, preferably about 5-80%, more preferably about 10-75% by weight of the total composition of an oil phase which may comprise one or more oils or other liquid materials soluble in the oil phase. A variety of ingredients may be suitable including volatile oils, nonvolatile oils, and mixtures thereof

[0033] A. Volatile Liquids

[0034] The term “volatile” means that the oil has a measurable vapor pressure, or a vapor pressure of at least 2 mm. of mercury at 20° C. The term “nonvolatile” means that the oil has a vapor pressure of less than 2 mm. of mercury at 20° C. Preferably, the compositions of the invention contain a significant portion of volatile solvents as the liquid carrier. Suitable volatile oils are liquids, and enable easy formulation of the composition of the invention. When the composition of the invention is applied to the desired surface, the volatile solvent of the invention must be capable of flashing off to leave the other ingredients in the composition affixed to the surface. Suitable volatile solvents generally have a viscosity of 0.5 to 10 centipoise at 25° C. Suitable volatile solvents include linear silicones, cyclic silicones, paraffinic hydrocarbons, or mixtures thereof.

[0035] 1. Volatile Silicones

[0036] Cyclic silicones (or cyclomethicones) are of the general formula:

[0037] where n=3−6.

[0038] Linear volatile silicones in accordance with the invention have the general formula:

(CH3)3 Si—O—[Si(CH3)2—O]n—Si(CH3)3

[0039] where n=0−7, preferably 0-5.

[0040] Linear and cyclic volatile silicones are available from various commercial sources including Dow Corning Corporation and General Electric. The Dow Corning volatile silicones are sold under the tradenames Dow Corning 244, 245, 344, and 200 fluids. These fluids comprise octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, hexamethyldisiloxane, and mixtures thereof

[0041] 2. Paraffinic Hydrocarbons

[0042] Also suitable as the volatile liquid are various straight or branched chain paraffinic hydrocarbons having 5 to 40 carbon atoms, more preferably 8-20 carbon atoms. Suitable hydrocarbons include pentane, hexane, heptane, decane, dodecane, tetradecane, tridecane, and C8-20 isoparaffins as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,439,088 and 3,818,105, both of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Preferred volatile paraffinic hydrocarbons have a molecular weight of 70-225, preferably 160 to 190 and a boiling point range of 30 to 320, preferably 60-260 degrees C., and a viscosity of less than 10 cs. at 25 degrees C. Such paraffinic hydrocarbons are available from EXXON under the ISOPARS trademark, and from the Permethyl Corporation. Suitable C12 isoparaffins are manufactured by Permethyl Corporation under the tradename Permethyl 99A. Another C12 isoparaffin (isododecane) is distributed by Presperse under the tradename Permethyl 99A. Various C16 isoparaffins commercially available, such as isohexadecane (having the tradename Permethyl R), are also suitable.

[0043] B. Nonvolatile Liquids

[0044] The liquid carrier may also comprise low viscosity non-volatile liquid oils such as silicones, esters, and the like. If the nonvolatile oils are too heavy or greasy it may hamper the long wearing characteristics of the invention. Generally, the viscosity of the nonvolatile oils if present should range from about 11-1000, preferably less than 100 centipoise, most preferably less than about 50 centipoise at 25° C. Examples of such oils include polyalkylsiloxanes, polyarylsiloxanes, and polyethersiloxanes. Examples of such nonvolatile silicones are disclosed in Cosmetics, Science and Technology 27-104 (Balsam and Sagarin ed. 1972); and U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,202,879 and 5,069,897, both of which are hereby incorporated by references. Further nonlimiting examples of such silicones include dimethicone, phenyl trimethicone, dimethicone copolyol, and so on.

[0045] Also suitable are lower viscosity organic liquids including saturated or unsaturated, substituted or unsubstituted branched or linear or cyclic organic compounds that are liquid under ambient conditions. Preferred organic liquids include those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,505,937; 5,725,845; 5,019,375; and 6,214,329, all of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.

[0046] In the preferred composition the oil phase comprises one or more nonvolatile oils either alone or in combination with one or more nonvolatile oils. Particularly preferred is where the liquid vehicle comprises a mixture of volatile silicone and volatile paraffinic hydrocarbons which serve as the carrier in which the organic pigments are dispersed.

[0047] IV. Film Film Forming Polymer

[0048] The composition preferably comprises 0.1-35%, preferably 0.5-30%, more preferably 1-25% by weight of the total composition of one or more film forming polymers. The film forming polymer (or film former) may be water soluble or water insoluble. Suitable film forming polymers are those that, when the composition is applied to the desired surface, form a film on the surface to which the composition is applied when the liquid in the composition evaporates. This causes the film forming polymer to form a film which holds the organic pigment particles in place with the network created by the hardened polymer. The term “soluble” means that the film forming polymer is soluble in the phase in question, and will form a single homogeneous phase when incorporated therein. For example, if the film forming polymer is oil soluble it will generally be soluble in the oil phase of the emulsion and when incorporated therein the oil and the polymer will form a single homogeneous phase. Similarly, if the film forming polymer is water soluble, if incorporated in the water phase the polymer and the water will form a single homogeneous phase. It may also be possible for the emulsion to contain a film forming polymer that is soluble in one phase but is found dispersed in the other phase. For example, water soluble film forming polymer may be dispersed in the oil phase of the emulsion or an oil soluble polymer may be dispersed in the water phase of the emulsion. In short, any combination of film forming polymer and phase is suitable so long as the compositions are stable. The term “dispersible” means that the film forming polymer is readily dispersed in the liquid vehicle and forms a stable, heterogeneous composition where the dispersed polymer remains stable and suspended in the liquid vehicle and is compatible therewith (without settling out, for example). The film forming polymer also has adhesive properties, meaning that when incorporated into the claimed composition in any phase, and applied to the lashes, the film forming polymer forms a film or a weld on the lashes. Such a film will have adhesive and cohesive strength, as is understood by those skilled in the art.

[0049] A variety of film forming polymers may be suitable so long as they are soluble or dispersible in, and compatible with, either phase of the emulsion, capable of forming a film on the surface to which it is aplied, and may be removed with a remover; and compatible with the pigment and other ingredients in the composition. Such polymers may be natural or synthetic and are further described below.

[0050] A. Synthetic Polymers

[0051] 1. Copolymers of Silicone and Ethylenically Unsaturated Monomers

[0052] One type of film forming polymer that may be used in the compositions of the invention is obtained by reacting silicone moieties with ethylenically unsaturated monomers. These copolymers may be water soluble or oil soluble depending on the substituents that are found on the polymer. The resulting copolymers may be graft or block copolymers. The term “graft copolymer” is familiar to one of ordinary skill in polymer science and is used herein to describe the copolymers which result by adding or “grafting” polymeric side chain moieties (i.e. “grafts”) onto another polymeric moiety referred to as the “backbone”. The backbone may have a higher molecular weight than the grafts. Thus, graft copolymers can be described as polymers having pendant polymeric side chains, and which are formed from the “grafting” or incorporation of polymeric side chains onto or into a polymer backbone. The polymer backbone can be a homopolymer or a copolymer. The graft copolymers are derived from a variety of monomer units.

[0053] One type of polymer that may be used as the film forming polymer is a vinyl-silicone graft or block copolymer having the formula:

These polymers may be purchased from Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company under the tradenames “Silicone Plus” polymers. Most preferred is poly(isobutyl methacrylate-co-methyl FOSEA)-g-poly(dimethylsiloxane) which is sold under the tradename SA 70-5 IBMMF.

[0079] Another suitable silicone acrylate copolymer is a polymer having a vinyl, methacrylic, or acrylic polymeric backbone with pendant siloxane groups. Such polymers as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,693,935, 4,981,903, 4,981,902, and which are hereby incorporated by reference. Preferably, these polymers are comprised of A, C, and optionally B monomers wherein:

[0122] IV. Other Ingredients

[0123] A. Plasticizers

[0124] It is desirable to incorporate one more plasticizers into the composition. Since the preferred compositions tend to have a lower viscosity when compared to standard products of this nature, the plasticizer will improve the spreadability and application of the composition to the surface to which it is applied. The preferred compositions contain one or more plasticizers in an amount sufficient to improve spreadability and application of the composition when compared to the same composition without the plasticizer. Preferably the plasticizer is found in the oil phase of the emulsion. Suggested ranges of plasticizers range from about 0.01-20%, preferably about 0.05-15%, more preferably about 0.1-10% by weight of the total composition.

As previously noted the viscosity modifiers are not organic, solid, non-polymeric fatty phase gelling agents as mentioned above. In particular, since the preferred compositions exhibit a viscosity that is slightly reduced, inclusion of the viscosity modifiers, which will, specifically increase viscosity, cause the composition to have more body and less tendency to run or drip when applied to the desired surface. Suggested ranges of such viscosity modifiers are about 0.01-60%, preferably about 0.05-50%, more preferably about 0.1-45% by weight of the total composition.
