Abstract
The present invention relates to a kit for making up keratin materials, in particular the eyebrows and the skin around the eyebrows, comprising, notably in a physiologically acceptable medium: a) a first aqueous “base-coat” makeup composition (A) comprising at least one water-soluble dye;b) a second “top-coat” fixing composition (B) comprising a continuous oily phase containing:i) at least one hydrophobic film-forming polymer other than silicone acrylate copolymers; andii) at least one volatile hydrocarbon-based oil.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention is directed toward proposing for the field of caring for and/or making up keratin materials, notably the eyebrows and the skin around the eyebrows, a novel two-composition makeup kit that is most particularly advantageous with regard to its technical performance and the esthetic result that it affords the user when it is applied to said keratin materials and in particular to the eyebrows.


Many eyebrow makeup products are known in the prior art for coloring keratin materials, in particular the eyebrows. They may be based on makeup products: pencils, hot-cast powders, ointments, etc. and also on the use of direct dyes, but these products do not durably color the skin around the eyebrows and the results change in the course of the day.


Products based on oxidation dyes also exist, but these products require mixing at the time of use. This type of product does not make it possible to preview the result before the rinsing step and also does not make it possible to correct the result obtained.


One solution also consists in applying a water-resistant makeup product based on the combination of an MQ-type silicone resin with a high molecular weight silicone resin, but the makeup result of this solution lasts for a maximum of two days (Wunderbrow 2® product range from Wonder 2).


A final solution known from the prior art consists in applying products containing a self-tanning active agent such as dihydroxyacetone DHA, optionally combined with direct dyes, but this solution is limited in terms of the colors offered and the colors are mainly orangey.


Users of coloring products for keratin materials such as the eyebrows are in search of a surface makeup gesture which has a semi-permanent result, i.e. a result that can be eliminated after a few days, while at the same time maintaining control over the final result and in particular making it possible to visualize said result in advance. Specifically, users wish to be able to make corrections or retouches in the event of overrun marking during application before the fixing of the result for several days.


The need remains to find a novel process for semi-permanently making up keratin materials, notably the eyebrows and the skin around the eyebrows, and also novel suitable compositions which make it possible to obtain long-lasting makeup for several days, which offer a wide range of colors and which make it possible to check the final result before it is fixed.


In the course of its research, the Applicant discovered, unexpectedly, that this objective was achieved by means of a two-step makeup process consisting in successively applying to said keratin materials:

    • a) at least one first coat with a first aqueous “base-coat” makeup composition (A) comprising at least one water-soluble dye; and
    • b) onto the coat formed by composition (A), applying at least one second coat of a second “top-coat” fixing composition (B) comprising an oily continuous phase containing:
    • i) at least one hydrophobic film-forming polymer other than silicone acrylate copolymers; and
    • ii) at least one volatile hydrocarbon-based oil.


The first step of applying the “base-coat” makeup composition (A) makes it possible to color the eyebrows and their contour and allows the consumer to correct possible application errors, change the color and/or shape contours and thus be able to preview the final result before fixing.


The second step of applying the “top-coat” fixing composition (B) makes it possible to fix the makeup obtained on the eyebrows and the skin around the eyebrows and to obtain a semi-permanent makeup with good staying power which has good resistance to rubbing, to sebum, to washing with a shower gel and a makeup remover such as micellar water for a period of more than 2 days, notably from 3 to 5 days.


This discovery forms the basis of the invention.


Subjects of the Invention

Thus, according to one of its aspects, the present invention relates to a kit for making up keratin materials, in particular the eyebrows and the skin around the eyebrows, comprising:

    • a) a first aqueous “base-coat” makeup composition (A) comprising at least one water-soluble dye; and
    • b) a second “top-coat” fixing composition (B) comprising a continuous oily phase containing:
    • i) at least one hydrophobic film-forming polymer other than silicone acrylate copolymers; and
    • ii) at least one volatile hydrocarbon-based oil.


The invention also relates to a cosmetic process for making up keratin materials, in particular the eyebrows and the skin around the eyebrows, comprising:

    • at least a first step of applying a first coat with a composition (A) as defined previously to said keratin materials, and
    • at least a second step of applying, to the coat formed by composition (A), at least one second coat of a composition (B) as defined previously.


Definitions

In the context of the present invention, the term “keratin materials” notably means the eyebrows and the skin around the eyebrows.


The term “physiologically acceptable” means compatible with the skin and/or its integuments, which has a pleasant color, odor and feel, and which does not cause any unacceptable discomfort (stinging, tautness or redness) liable to put the consumer off using this composition.


For the purposes of the present invention, the expression “composition comprising a continuous oily phase” refers to any composition which may be either an oily anhydrous composition or a water-in-oil emulsion, also known as an inverse emulsion. This composition may be in the form of an anhydrous composition or of an inverse emulsion containing less than 40% by weight of water, preferably less than 30% by weight of water or even less than 15% of water relative to its total weight. For the purposes of the present invention, the expression “anhydrous composition” denotes any composition containing less than 5% by weight of water, preferably less than 2% by weight of water, or even less than 0.5% of water, relative to its total weight, and notably a composition which is free of water.


The term “silicone acrylate copolymer” means a vinyl polymer grafted onto the main chain via an organosiloxane group.


Makeup Composition (A)

According to the present invention, the semi-permanent makeup composition (A) comprises at least one aqueous phase containing at least one water-soluble dye, in particular a direct acid dye.


Aqueous Phase

The makeup composition (A) according to the invention comprises an aqueous phase, which may preferably form a continuous phase of the composition.


The term “aqueous phase” means a phase comprising water and also all the water-soluble or water-miscible solvents and ingredients (miscibility in water of greater than 50% by weight at 25° C.).


Preferably, composition (A) according to the invention comprises a continuous aqueous phase. The expression “composition with a continuous aqueous phase” means that the composition has a conductivity, measured at 25° C., of less than 23 μS/cm (microSiemens/cm), the conductivity being measured, for example, using an MPC227® conductimeter from Mettler Toledo and an Inlab730® conductivity measuring cell. The measuring cell is immersed in the composition so as to remove the air bubbles that might be formed between the two electrodes of the cell. The conductivity reading is taken once the conductimeter value has stabilized. A mean is determined on at least three successive measurements.


The aqueous phase comprises water. It may also comprise at least one pro-penetrating solvent.


The term “pro-penetrating compound” means any substance which is capable of promoting the penetration of at least one other substance such as a dye into keratin materials such as the skin and the eyebrows.


The pro-penetrating solvents that may be used according to the present invention are preferably chosen from glycols such as propanediol, propylene glycol, butylene glycol, pentylene glycol; cyclic glycol esters such as propylene carbonate of the structure:

This content of aqueous phase includes not only the water deliberately added to the composition, but also the water that may be introduced by other ingredients.


The pH of the makeup composition (A) according to the invention is preferably less than 6, more preferentially ranging from 2 to 6, and more particularly ranging from 2 to 5.


The pH can be obtained and/or adjusted conventionally by adding alkaline agents, such as aqueous ammonia, monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, isopropanolamine, 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol, 1,3-propanediamine, an alkali metal or ammonium carbonate or bicarbonate, for example sodium bicarbonate, an organic carbonate, such as guanidine carbonate, or alternatively an alkali metal hydroxide, such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, it being possible, of course, for all these compounds to be taken alone or as a mixture.


To obtain and/or adjust the pH, use may also be made of acidifying agents, such as hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, lactic acid, citric acid and phosphoric acid.


Citric acid will preferably be used.


Direct Acid Dye

A composition (A) according to the invention includes at least one water-soluble dye, in particular a direct acid dye.


The term “direct acid dye” means an acid dye which is present in free form in the composition. In particular, it is not supported on a support, such as alumina. Thus, preferably, the direct acid dye is dissolved in the aqueous phase.


In addition, it is compatible with application around/on the eyebrows.


The direct acid dye is present in a concentration of less than 5% by weight, preferably less than 3% by weight and more particularly between 0.01% and 3% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.

Besides the compounds described above, composition (A) according to the invention may also comprise the various ingredients as described below.


Solids Content

Composition (A) according to the invention advantageously has a solids content of less than or equal to 30.0% and more preferentially less than or equal to 25.0% relative to the total weight of composition (A).


For the purposes of the present invention, the solids content denotes the content of nonvolatile matter.


The amount of solids content (abbreviated as SC) of a composition according to the invention is measured using a Halogen Moisture Analyzer HR 73 commercial halogen desiccator from Mettler Toledo. The measurement is performed on the basis of the weight loss of a sample dried by halogen heating, and thus represents the percentage of residual matter once the water and the volatile matter have evaporated off.


This technique is fully described in the machine documentation supplied by Mettler Toledo.


The measuring protocol is as follows:


Approximately 2 g of the composition, referred to hereinbelow as the sample, are spread out on a metal crucible, which is placed in the halogen desiccator mentioned above. The sample is then subjected to a temperature of 105° C. until a constant weight is obtained. The wet mass of the sample, corresponding to its initial mass, and the dry mass of the sample, corresponding to its mass after halogen heating, are measured using a precision balance.


The experimental error associated with the measurement is of the order of plus or minus 2%.


The solids content is calculated in the following manner:

The fixing composition (B) according to the invention comprises a continuous oily phase containing:

    • i) at least one hydrophobic film-forming polymer other than silicone acrylate copolymers; and
    • ii) at least one volatile hydrocarbon-based oil.


Oily Phase

The term “oil” means a water-immiscible nonaqueous compound that is liquid at room temperature (25° C.) and at atmospheric pressure (760 mmHg).


The term “hydrocarbon-based oil” means an oil predominantly including carbon and hydrogen atoms and not comprising any silicon atoms.


The term “volatile oil” means any oil with a vapor pressure of greater than or equal to 0.13 Pa measured at 25° C.


Hydrocarbon-Based Volatile Oil

The hydrocarbon-based oil of composition (B) is preferably chosen from hydrocarbon-based oils containing from 8 to 16 carbon atoms and better still from 12 to 16 carbon atoms.


Advantageously, the hydrocarbon-based oil of composition (B) is apolar (thus formed solely from carbon and hydrogen atoms).


The volatile hydrocarbon-based oil may be chosen from:

    • branched C8-C16 alkanes, such as C8-C16 isoalkanes of petroleum origin (also known as isoparaffins), such as isododecane (also known as 2,2,4,4,6-pentamethylheptane), isohexadecane and, for example, the oils sold under the Isopar or Permethyl trade names;
    • linear C11-C14 alkanes, for instance n-dodecane (C12) and n-tetradecane (C14) sold by Sasol under the references, respectively, Parafol 12-97 and Parafol 14-97, and also mixtures thereof, the undecane-tridecane mixture, mixtures of n-undecane (C11) and of n-tridecane (C13) obtained in examples 1 and 2 of patent application WO 2008/155059 from the company Cognis, and mixtures thereof.

Hydrophobic Film-Forming Polymers

Among the hydrophobic film-forming polymers, the ones that will preferably be chosen are those chosen from:

    • (i) silicone resins
    • (ii) silicone polyamides
    • (iii) pseudo-blocks
    • (iv) oily dispersions; the respective definitions of which are indicated below.


Silicone Resin

Composition (B) according to the invention comprises at least one silicone resin.


More generally, the term “resin” means a compound whose structure is three-dimensional. “Silicone resins” are also known as “siloxane resins”. Thus, for the purposes of the present invention, a polydimethylsiloxane is not a silicone resin.


The nomenclature of silicone resins (also known as siloxane resins) is known under the name “MDTQ”, the resin being described as a function of the various siloxane monomer units it comprises, each of the letters “MDTQ” characterizing a type of unit.


The letter “M” represents the Monofunctional unit of formula R1R2R3SiO1/2, the silicon atom being connected to only one oxygen atom in the polymer comprising this unit.


The letter “D” means a Difunctional unit R1R2SiO2/2 in which the silicon atom is connected to two oxygen atoms.


The letter “T” represents a Trifunctional unit R1SiO3/2.


Such resins are described, for example, in the Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Engineering, vol. 15, John Wiley & Sons, New York, (1989), pp. 265-270, and U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,676,182, 3,627,851, 3,772,247, 5,248,739 or U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,082,706, 5,319,040, US5 302 685 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,935,484.


In the units M, D and T defined previously, R, namely R1, R2 and R3, represents a hydrocarbon-based radical (notably alkyl) containing from 1 to 10 carbon atoms, a phenyl group, a phenylalkyl group or a hydroxyl group.


Finally, the letter Q means a Quadrifunctional unit SiO4/2 in which the silicon atom is bonded to four hydrogen atoms, which are themselves bonded to the rest of the polymer.


Various silicone resins with different properties can be obtained from these different units, the properties of these polymers varying as a function of the type of monomer (or units), of the nature and number of the R radical, of the length of the polymer chain, of the degree of branching and of the size of the pendent chains.


As silicone resins that may be used in the compositions according to the invention, use may be made, for example, of silicone resins of MQ type, of T type or of MQT type.

Pseudo-Blocks

According to one embodiment, composition (B) according to the invention may comprise at least one block ethylenic copolymer (also known as a block ethylenic polymer), containing at least one first block with a glass transition temperature (Tg) of greater than or equal to 40° C. and being totally or partly derived from one or more first monomers, which are such that the homopolymer prepared from these monomers has a glass transition temperature of greater than or equal to 40° C., and at least one second block with a glass transition temperature of less than or equal to 20° C. and being derived totally or partly from one or more second monomers, which are such that the homopolymer prepared from these monomers has a glass transition temperature of less than or equal to 20° C., said first block and said second block being connected together via a statistical intermediate segment comprising at least one of said first constituent monomers of the first block and at least one of said second constituent monomers of the second block, and said block copolymer having a polydispersity index I of greater than 2.


The block polymer used according to the invention thus comprises at least one first block and at least one second block.


The term “atleast one block” means one or more blocks.


The term “block” polymer means a polymer comprising at least two different blocks and preferably at least three different blocks.


The term “ethylenic polymer” means a polymer obtained by polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers.


The block ethylenic polymer used according to the invention is prepared exclusively from monofunctional monomers.


This means that the block ethylenic polymer used according to the present invention does not contain any multifunctional monomers, which make it possible to break the linearity of a polymer so as to obtain a branched or even crosslinked polymer, as a function of the content of multifunctional monomer. The polymer used according to the invention does not, either, contain any macromonomers (the term “macromonomer” means a monofunctional monomer containing a pendent group of polymeric nature, and preferably having a molecular mass of greater than 500 g/mol, or alternatively a polymer including on only one of its ends a polymerizable (or ethylenically unsaturated) end group), which are used in the preparation of a grafted polymer.


It is pointed out that, in the text hereinabove and hereinbelow, the terms “first” and “second” blocks do not in any way condition the order of said blocks in the structure of the polymer.


The first block and the second block of the polymer used in the invention may be advantageously mutually incompatible.


The term “mutually incompatible blocks” means that the mixture formed from a polymer corresponding to the first block and from a polymer corresponding to the second block is not miscible in the polymerization solvent that is in major amount by weight for the block polymer, at room temperature (25° C.) and atmospheric pressure (105 Pa), for a content of the mixture of said polymers of greater than or equal to 5% by weight, relative to the total weight of the mixture of said polymers and of said polymerization solvent, it being understood that:

    • i) said polymers are present in the mixture in a content such that the respective weight ratio ranges from 10/90 to 90/10, and that
    • ii) each of the polymers corresponding to the first and second blocks has an average (weight-average or number-average) molar mass equal to that of the block polymer±15%.


In the case of a mixture of polymerization solvents, and in the event that two or more solvents are present in identical mass proportions, said polymer mixture is immiscible in at least one of them.


Needless to say, in the case of a polymerization performed in a single solvent, this solvent is the solvent that is in major amount.


The block polymer according to the invention comprises at least one first block and at least one second block that are connected together via an intermediate segment comprising at least one constituent monomer of the first block and at least one constituent monomer of the second block. The intermediate segment (also known as the intermediate block) has a glass transition temperature Tg that is between the glass transition temperatures of the first and second blocks.


The intermediate segment is a block comprising at least one constituent monomer of the first block and at least one constituent monomer of the second block of the polymer allowing these blocks to be “compatibilized”.


Advantageously, the intermediate segment comprising at least one constituent monomer of the first block and at least one constituent monomer of the second block of the polymer is a statistical polymer.


Preferably, the intermediate block is derived essentially from constituent monomers of the first block and of the second block.


The term “essentially” means at least 85%, preferably at least 90%, better still 95% and even better still 100%.


The block polymer according to the invention is advantageously a film-forming block ethylenic polymer.


The term “ethylenic polymer” means a polymer obtained by polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers.


The term “film-forming polymer” means a polymer that is capable of forming, by itself or in the presence of an auxiliary film-forming agent, a continuous deposit on a support, notably on keratin materials.


Preferentially, the polymer according to the invention does not comprise any silicon atoms in its backbone. The term “backbone” means the main chain of the polymer, as opposed to the pendent side chains.


Preferably, the polymer according to the invention is not water-soluble, i.e. the polymer is not soluble in water or in a mixture of water and linear or branched lower monoalcohols containing from 2 to 5 carbon atoms, for instance ethanol, isopropanol or n-propanol, without modifying the pH, at an active material content of at least 1% by weight, at room temperature (25° C.).


Preferably, the polymer according to the invention is not an elastomer.


The term “non-elastomeric polymer” means a polymer which, when it is subjected to a constraint intended to pull it (for example by 30% relative to its initial length), does not return to a length substantially identical to its initial length when the constraint ceases.


The polydispersity index of the polymer of the invention is greater than 2.


Advantageously, the block polymer used in the compositions according to the invention has a polydispersity index I of greater than 2, for example ranging from 2 to 9, preferably greater than or equal to 2.5, for example ranging from 2.5 to 8 and better still greater than or equal to 2.8, and in particular ranging from 2.8 to 6.


The polydispersity index I of the polymer is equal to the ratio of the weight-average mass Mw to the number-average mass Mn.


The weight-average molar mass (Mw) and number-average molar mass (Mn) are determined by gel permeation liquid chromatography (THF solvent, calibration curve established with linear polystyrene standards, refractometric detector).


The weight-average mass (Mw) of the polymer according to the invention is preferably less than or equal to 300 000 g/mol; it ranges, for example, from 35 000 to 200 000 g/mol and better still from 45 000 to 150 000 g/mol.

Preferably, the polydispersity index of the polymer according to the invention is greater than 2, for example ranging from 2 to 9, preferably greater than or equal to 2.5, for example ranging from 2.5 to 8, and better still greater than or equal to 2.8, and notably ranging from 2.8 to 6.


First Block with a Tg of Greater than or Equal to 40° C.


The block with a Tg of greater than or equal to 40° C. has, for example, a Tg ranging from 40 to 150° C., preferably greater than or equal to 50° C., for example ranging from 50° C. to 120° C. and better still greater than or equal to 60° C., for example ranging from 60° C. to 120° C.


The glass transition temperatures indicated for the first and second blocks may be theoretical Tg values determined from the theoretical Tg values of the constituent monomers of each of the blocks, which may be found in a reference manual such as the Polymer Handbook, 3rd Edition, 1989, John Wiley, according to the following relationship, known as Fox's law:

ωi being the mass fraction of the monomer i in the block under consideration and Tgi being the glass transition temperature of the homopolymer of the monomer i.


Unless otherwise indicated, the Tg values indicated for the first and second blocks in the present patent application are theoretical Tg values.


The difference between the glass transition temperatures of the first and second blocks is generally greater than 10° C., preferably greater than 20° C. and better still greater than 30° C.


The block with a Tg of greater than or equal to 40° C. may be a homopolymer or a copolymer.

Preferably, the polymer comprises at least isobornyl acrylate and isobornyl methacrylate monomers in equivalent weight proportion in the first block and isobutyl acrylate and acrylic acid monomers in the second block.


Preferably, the polymer comprises at least isobornyl acrylate and isobornyl methacrylate monomers in equivalent weight proportion in the first block, and isobutyl acrylate and acrylic acid monomers in the second block, the first block representing 70% by weight of the polymer.

Preferably, the block with a Tg of greater than 40° C. represents 70% by weight of the polymer, and acrylic acid represents 5% by weight of the polymer.

The constituent monomers of the second block and the proportions thereof are chosen such that the glass transition temperature of the second block is less than or equal to 20° C.


Intermediate Segment

The intermediate segment (also known as the intermediate block) connects the first block and the second block of the polymer used according to the present invention. The intermediate segment results from the polymerization:

    • i) of the first monomer(s), and optionally of the additional monomer(s), which remain available after their polymerization to a maximum degree of conversion of 90% to form the first block,
    • ii) and of the second monomer(s), and optionally of the additional monomer(s), added to the reaction mixture.


The formation of the second block is initiated when the first monomers no longer react or are no longer incorporated into the polymer chain either because they are all consumed or because their reactivity no longer allows them to be.


Thus, the intermediate segment comprises the first available monomers, resulting from a degree of conversion of these first monomers of less than or equal to 90%, during the introduction of the second monomer(s) during the synthesis of the polymer.


The intermediate segment of the block polymer is a statistical polymer (which may also be referred to as a statistical block). This means that it comprises a statistical distribution of the first monomer(s) and of the second monomer(s) and also of the additional monomer(s) that may be present.


Thus, the intermediate segment is a statistical block, as are the first block and the second block if they are not homopolymers (i.e. if they are both formed from at least two different monomers).


Process for Preparing the Copolymer:

The block ethylenic copolymer according to the invention is prepared by free radical polymerization, according to the techniques that are well known for this type of polymerization.


The free radical polymerization is performed in the presence of an initiator, the nature of which is adapted, in a known manner, as a function of the desired polymerization temperature and of the polymerization solvent. In particular, the initiator may be chosen from initiators bearing a peroxide function, redox couples or other free radical polymerization initiators known to those skilled in the art.


In particular, examples of initiators bearing a peroxide function that may be mentioned include:

According to a preferred embodiment, the initiator is chosen from organic peroxides comprising from 8 to 30 carbon atoms. Preferably, the initiator used is 2,5-bis(2-ethylhexanoylperoxy)-2,5-dimethylhexane sold under the reference Trigonox® 141 by the company AkzoNobel.

According to a particularly preferred form of the invention, the hydrocarbon-based oil will be chosen from volatile hydrocarbon-based oils as defined previously. In particular, the volatile hydrocarbon-based oil is isododecane.


Preferably, the liquid hydrocarbon-based oil(s) iii) are present in the dispersion of the invention in an amount of between 15% and 80% by weight, more preferentially between 20% and 60% by weight, relative to the total weight of said oily dispersion. According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the weight ratio of the combination of the ingredients [i)+ii)]/iii) is less than or equal to 1, more particularly the [i)+ii)]/iii) weight ratio is between 0.5 and 1.


The polymer particles i) of the dispersion preferably have an average size, notably a number-average size, ranging from 50 to 500 nm, notably ranging from 75 to 400 nm and better still ranging from 100 to 250 nm.


In general, the dispersion according to the invention may be prepared in the following manner, which is given as an example.


Method for Preparing the Dispersion

Without this being limiting, in general, the dispersion according to the invention may be prepared in the following manner:

    • The polymerization is performed in dispersion in nonaqueous medium, i.e. by precipitation of the polymer being formed, with protection of the formed particles with one or more stabilizers ii), preferably only one type of stabilizer ii) chosen from b) and c) as defined previously.
    • In a first step, the stabilizing polymer (or stabilizer ii)) is prepared by mixing the constituent monomer(s) of the stabilizing polymer b) or c) with iv) a free-radical initiator, in a solvent known as the synthesis solvent, and by polymerizing these monomers; and then
    • In a second step, the monomers constituting the polymer of the particles i) is added to the stabilizing polymer ii) formed in the preceding step and polymerization of these added monomers is performed in the presence of the radical initiator.
    • In a third step, water is added and the combination of ingredients i)+ii) is stirred in the reactor before taking out the dispersion. When the nonaqueous medium is a nonvolatile hydrocarbon-based oil iii), the polymerization may be performed in an apolar organic solvent (synthesis solvent), followed by adding the nonvolatile hydrocarbon-based oil (which should be miscible with said synthesis solvent) and selectively distilling off the synthesis solvent.


The synthesis solvent may be constituted of hydrocarbon-based oil iii) combined with an additional solvent notably chosen from linear or branched hydrocarbon-based aliphatic-chain esters containing from 3 to 8 carbon atoms in total, such as ethyl acetate, methyl acetate, propyl acetate or n-butyl acetate.


At the end of step 1, when the synthesis solvent is a mixture, the additional solvent including the hydrocarbon-based aliphatic-chain esters as defined previously is removed via a method that is conventional to those skilled in the art, such as distillation. The polymers of the particles i) are found in the hydrocarbon-based oil iii).


A synthesis solvent which is such that the monomers of the polymeric stabilizer(s) ii) and the free-radical initiator iv) are soluble therein, and such that the polymer particles i) obtained are insoluble therein, so that they precipitate therefrom during their formation, is thus chosen.


In particular, the synthesis solvent chosen is one which is apolar, organic and volatile, preferably chosen from volatile hydrocarbon-based oils iii), notably alkanes such as heptane, cyclohexane or isododecane, preferably isododecane.


When the nonaqueous medium is a volatile hydrocarbon-based oil iii), the polymerization may be performed directly in said oil, which thus also acts as synthesis solvent. The monomers should also be soluble therein, as should the free-radical initiator, and the polymer of the particles i) which is obtained should be insoluble therein.


The monomers are preferably present in the synthesis solvent, before polymerization, in a proportion of from 15% to 45% by weight. The total amount of the monomers may be present in the solvent before the start of the reaction, or a portion of the monomers may be added gradually as the polymerization reaction proceeds.


The polymerization is preferably performed in the presence iv) of one or more free-radical initiators which may be any initiator known to those skilled in the art for radical polymerization, such as peroxide or azo initiators, redox couples and photochemical initiators.


The following types of initiator may notably be mentioned:

    • peroxide, in particular chosen from tert-butyl peroxy-2-ethylhexanoate: Trigonox 21S; 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-bis(2-ethylhexanoylperoxy)hexane: Trigonox 141; tert-butyl peroxypivalate: Trigonox 25C75 from AkzoNobel; or
    • azo, in particular chosen from AIBN: azobisisobutyronitrile; V50: 2,2′-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride.


The polymerization is preferably performed at a temperature ranging from 70 to 110° C. and at atmospheric pressure.


The polymer particles i) are surface-stabilized, when they are formed during the polymerization, by means of the stabilizer ii).


The stabilization may be performed by any known means, and in particular by direct addition of the stabilizer ii), during the polymerization.


The stabilizer ii) is preferably also present in the mixture before polymerization of the monomers of the polymer of the particles i). However, it is also possible to add it continuously, notably when the monomers of the particles i) are also added continuously.


From 2% to 40% by weight, particularly from 3% to 30% by weight and more particularly from 4% to 25% by weight of the stabilizer(s) ii) may be used relative to the total weight of monomers used (stabilizers ii)+polymer particles i)), and preferably from 4.5% to 20% by weight.


The dispersion of polymer particles i) advantageously comprises from 30% to 65% by weight of solids relative to the total weight of said dispersion and preferably from 40% to 60% by weight relative to the total weight of said dispersion.


According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the dispersion of the invention does not comprise more than 3% by weight of surfactants relative to the total weight of the dispersion, preferentially not more than 2% by weight of surfactants relative to the total weight of the dispersion, more particularly not more than 1% by weight of surfactants relative to the total weight of the dispersion; even more preferentially, the composition does not comprise more than 0.5% by weight of surfactants relative to the total weight of the dispersion, and better still the mixture does not comprise any surfactant.


In a particular preparation method, the statistical stabilizing polymer ii) is prepared in a first step. This stabilizing polymer is soluble in an apolar organic solvent of alkane type, such as isododecane.


Next, in a second step, the polymer particles i) are synthesized in the presence of the stabilizing polymer ii).


Preferentially, a solution of stabilizing polymer ii) in the hydrocarbon-based oil(s) iii) is prepared for the final dispersion, and polymerization of the monomers which form the core of the particle is performed in the presence of this stabilizer ii).


The stabilizing polymer ii) may be prepared by radical polymerization optionally in the presence of a polymerization initiator iv) as defined previously.


In a second step, the monomers which form the core of the particle i) may be polymerized in the presence of said stabilizing polymer ii). This second step may be a conventional radical polymerization.


The dispersions are prepared in the presence of one or more hydrocarbon-based oils iii), preferably in an apolar organic solvent, in particular of alkane type such as isododecane, according to an industrially feasible process.


The dispersions according to the invention are thus finally formed from polymer particles, of relatively large diameter (preferably greater than 100 nm), and give glossy film-forming deposits that are resistant to fatty substances at the observation temperature (25° C.).


Advantageously, the oily dispersion may comprise a plasticizer chosen from tri-n-butyl citrate, tripropylene glycol monomethyl ether (INCI name: PPG-3 Methyl Ether) and trimethyl pentaphenyl trisiloxane (sold under the name Dow Corning PH-1555 HRI Cosmetic Fluid by the company Dow Corning). These plasticizers make it possible to improve the mechanical strength of the polymer film.


The plasticizer is preferably present in the oily dispersion in a content ranging from 5% to 50% by weight, relative to the total weight of the polymer of the particles.


Preferentially, use will be made of a dispersion in iii), notably isododecane, of surface-stabilized polymer particles i) chosen from:

For the purposes of the present invention, the term “emulsifying surfactant” refers to an amphiphilic surfactant compound, i.e. one which contains two parts of different polarity. Generally, one is lipophilic (soluble or dispersible in an oily phase). The other is hydrophilic (soluble or dispersible in water). Emulsifying surfactants are characterized by the value of their HLB (Hydrophilic Lipophilic Balance), the HLB being the ratio of the hydrophilic part to the lipophilic part in the molecule. The term “HLB” is well known to those skilled in the art and is described, for example, in “The HLB System. A Time-Saving Guide to Emulsifier Selection” (published by ICI Americas Inc.; 1984). For the emulsifying surfactants used for the preparation of water-in-oil emulsions, their HLB value is generally less than or equal to 8 and more particularly ranges from 3 to 8. The HLB value may be determined via the Griffin method or the Davies method.

Cosmetic Compositions (A) and (B)

According to a particular embodiment, compositions (A) and (B) in accordance with the present invention comprise a physiologically acceptable medium.


Each of the compositions (A) and (B) may also comprise a cosmetic additive usually used in anhydrous or aqueous supports, respectively, notably chosen from preserving agents, bactericidal agents, antioxidants, fragrances, fillers, hydrophilic thickeners or gelling agents, lipophilic thickeners or gelling agents, lipophilic active agents, hydrophilic active agents, liposoluble dyes, moisturizers, emollients, surfactants, sunscreens, odor absorbers, and mixtures thereof.


It is a matter of routine practice for those skilled in the art to adjust the nature and amount of the additives present in the compositions in accordance with the invention such that the desired cosmetic properties thereof are not thereby affected.


Preferentially, the base-coat composition (A) according to the invention may comprise at least one hydrophilic aqueous-phase thickener and/or gelling agent.


Hydrophilic Gelling Agent

According to a particular form of the invention, the makeup composition (A) according to the invention also comprises one or more hydrophilic gelling agent(s).


For the purposes of the present invention, the term “hydrophilic gelling agent” means a compound that is capable of gelling the aqueous phase of the compositions according to the invention. More particularly, the function of these hydrophilic gelling agents is to structure the aqueous phase of the composition. The gelling agent is advantageously soluble in the aqueous phase of the composition. The gelling agent that may be used according to the invention may notably be characterized by its ability to form, in water, beyond a certain concentration C*, a gel characterized by oscillatory rheology (μ=1 Hz) by a yield point Tc at least equal to 10 Pa. This concentration C* can vary widely depending on the nature of the gelling agent under consideration.


The hydrophilic gelling agents may be chosen from carboxyvinyl polymers, such as Carbopols® (Carbomers) and Pemulens® (acrylate/C10-C30 alkyl acrylate copolymer); polyacrylamides, for instance the crosslinked copolymers sold under the names Sepigel 305® (INCI name: polyacrylamide/C13-C14 isoparaffin/Laureth 7) or Simulgel 600 (INCI name: Acrylamide/Sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate copolymer/Isohexadecane/Polysorbate-80) by the company SEPPIC; optionally crosslinked and/or neutralized polymers and copolymers of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, such as the poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid) sold by the company Hoechst under the trade name Hostacerin AMPS@ (INCI name: Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate) or Simulgel 800® sold by the company SEPPIC (INCI name: Sodium Polyacryolyldimethyl Taurate/Polysorbate 80/Sorbitan Oleate); copolymers of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid and of hydroxyethyl acrylate, such as Simulgel NS® and Sepinov EMT 10®, which are sold by the company SEPPIC; cellulose compounds, such as hydroxyethylcellulose; polysaccharides and notably gums, such as xanthan gum or hydroxypropylated guar gums.


Preferably, use will be made of cellulose compounds, in particular hydroxyethylcellulose.


The hydrophilic gelling agent(s) are preferably present in the composition in a total content ranging from 0.1% to 10%, better still from 0.5% to 5% by weight, relative to the total weight of said composition (A).


Preferentially, the top-coat composition (B) according to the invention may also comprise at least one oil thickener, gelling agent and/or structuring agent.


This (these) compounds may be chosen notably from lipophilic gelling agents, for instance hydrophobic-modified clays, such as modified magnesium silicate (Bentone Gel VS38® from Rheox), hectorite modified with distearyldimethylammonium chloride (CTFA name: Disteardimonium hectorite) sold notably under the name Bentone 38 CE® by the company Rheox or under the name Bentone 38 VCG® by the company Elementis.


Eyebrow Makeup Process

One subject of the present patent application is a cosmetic process for making up keratin materials, in particular the eyebrows and notably the skin around the eyebrows, which consists in applying to said keratin materials:

    • at least one first step of applying a first coat of a makeup composition (A) as defined previously to said keratin materials, and
    • at least one second step of applying, to the coat formed by composition (A), at least one second coat of a fixing composition (B) as defined previously.


Between the application of the first coat with the base-coat composition (A) and the application of the second coat with the top-coat composition (B), the drying time varies as a function of the applicator and of the amount deposited, preferably from 1 to 20 minutes, more preferentially from 3 to 15 minutes.


Packaging and Applicators

Compositions (A) and (B) according to the invention may each be packaged in a container delimiting at least one compartment that comprises said composition (A) or (B), said container being closed by a closing member.


The container may be in any suitable form. It may notably be in the form of a bottle, a tube, a jar or a case.


The closing member may be in the form of a removable stopper, a lid or a cover, notably of the type including a body fixed to the container and a cap articulated on the body. It may also be in the form of a member for selectively closing the container, notably a pump, a valve or a flap valve.


The container may be combined with an applicator, notably in the form of a brush including an arrangement of bristles maintained by a twisted wire. Such a twisted brush is described notably in patent U.S. Pat. No. 4,887,622. It may also be in the form of a comb including a plurality of application members, obtained notably by molding. Such combs are described, for example, in patent FR 2 796 529. The applicator may be in the form of a fine brush, as described, for example, in patent FR 2 722 380. The applicator may be in the form of a block of foam or of elastomer. The applicator may be free (sponge) or securely fastened to a rod borne by the closing member, as described, for example, in patent U.S. Pat. No. 5,492,426. The applicator may be securely fastened to the container, as described, for example, in patent FR 2 761 959.


The product may be contained directly in the container, or indirectly.


The closing member may be coupled to the container by screwing. Alternatively, the coupling between the closing member and the container occurs other than by screwing, notably via a bayonet mechanism, by click-fastening or by gripping. The term “click-fastening” in particular means any system involving the crossing of a bead or cord of material by elastic deformation of a portion, notably of the closing member, followed by return to the elastically unconstrained position of said portion after the bead or cord has been crossed.


The container may be at least partially made of thermoplastic material. Examples of thermoplastic materials that may be mentioned include polypropylene and polyethylene.


The container may have rigid or deformable walls, notably in the form of a tube or a tube bottle.


The container may comprise means intended to bring about or facilitate the dispensing of the composition. By way of example, the container may have deformable walls so as to make the composition exit in response to excess pressure inside the container, which excess pressure is brought about by the elastic (or non-elastic) squeezing of the walls of the container.


The container may be equipped with a drainer positioned in the vicinity of the opening of the container. Such a drainer makes it possible to wipe the applicator and possibly the rod to which it may be securely fastened. Such a drainer is described, for example, in patent FR 2 792 618.


Throughout the description, including the claims, the term “including a” should be understood as being synonymous with “including at least one”, unless otherwise specified.


The expressions “between . . . and . . . ”, and “ranging from . . . to . . . ” should be understood as meaning limits included, unless otherwise specified.


The invention will now be described by means of examples which are presented for purely illustrative purposes and should not be interpreted as examples that limit the invention.


In the description and the examples, unless otherwise indicated, the amounts indicated are expressed as mass percentages. The ingredients are mixed in the order and under the conditions that are readily determined by a person skilled in the art.

Comparative Tests of Resistance of the Base-Coat and Top-Coat Combination to Dye Diffusion in the Presence of Aqueous Phase.

Transparent square PET plates with a side length of 6 cm were cut.


An adhesive disc (Monaderm® ref. PA22/36 double-sided disc, diameter 22/36), the inner circle of which was 22 mm in diameter, was applied, making it possible to control and to delimit the application area. The same amount of product per unit area was thus applied. 0.15 g of the makeup composition (base-coat) was placed in this circle. The deposit was left to dry for 6 hours. One sample was kept for use as a reference (without application of a top-coat fixing composition). On the other samples, 0.15 g of the top-coat fixing composition was applied to cover the first coat of makeup. Each sample was left to dry for 12 hours at room temperature (25° C.). The adhesive disc was then removed. The plate covered with this deposit was then dipped in 150 m1 of water for 20 minutes. The PET plate was then removed to evaluate the red marks which had diffused through the water and the amount of product remaining on the PET plate. This test makes it possible to evaluate the resistance of the makeup applied to the PET plate after successive applications of the makeup composition (base-coat) and of the fixing composition (top-coat) by observing the ability of the dye to diffuse into the volume of water.


Results:

It was observed that the deposit of the reference sample without a fixing composition (top-coat) dissolved completely in the volume of water after two minutes. It was found that no color remained on the PET plate and that the volume of water was completely colored. This showed that the absence of application of a top-coat composition resulted in an absence of resistance of the makeup in the presence of water.


The tests showed that the samples treated with the makeup composition (base-coat) followed by the fixing composition (top-coat) according to Kit Examples 1 and 2 according to the invention led to perfect makeup resistance since no dye molecules were found in the water.


On the other hand, Kit Example 3 outside the invention in which the top-coat fixing composition comprises a film-forming polymer of the silicone acrylate copolymer type showed insufficient water resistance, which was reflected by diffusion of the dye in the volume of water, which turned pink. The same is true for Kit Example 4, in which the fixing composition (top-coat) comprises a film-forming latex.


Consequently, the process involving the application of the aqueous makeup composition (base-coat) followed by the application of the anhydrous fixing composition (top-coat) comprising a film-forming polymer consisting of the silicone polyamide/silicone resin mixture or consisting of the dispersion of Example P1 leads to makeup which has good water resistance.
