Patent Application
20110286947
A subject-matter of the present invention is a method for making up or caring for keratinous substances which consist in applying to the said keratinous substances, at least one noncrosslinked polyrotaxane and at least one second noncrosslinked polyrotaxane which crosslink on the said keratinous substances.
The compositions according to the invention can be compositions for making up or caring for keratinous substances, in particular the skin, nails, lips and keratinous fibres, especially the eyelashes, and preferably makeup compositions.
Each composition can be a free or compacted powder, a foundation, a face powder, an eyeshadow, a concealer, a blusher, a lipstick, a lip balm, a lip gloss, a lip pencil, an eye pencil, a mascara, an eyeliner, a nail varnish or also a product for making up the body or for colouring the skin.
The care composition can be a product for caring for the eyelashes, nails or lips, for caring for the skin of the body and face, in particular an antisun product, or a product for colouring the skin (such as a self-tanning product).
Consumers are looking for cosmetic products which make it possible to obtain an increase in the perception of the volume of the keratinous substances which they desire to make up. In particular, a volumizing or body-bestowing effect on the eyelashes is desired for mascaras, a fullness effect is desired for glosses and lipsticks, and properties of modelling the face and of masking imperfections of the skin (wrinkles, fine lines, defects of pigmentation, loss in colour of the lips, rosacea) are required by users of foundations and lipsticks.
In addition, these cosmetic compositions must exhibit good hold over time, so that the aesthetic effect obtained is maintained.
Currently, the remodelling and the increase in volume of certain parts of the face or body is obtained by injection of substances, such as silicone gels. This type of remodelling is generally carried out under local anaesthesia. In addition, this type of remodelling is lengthy, tedious and expensive.
Furthermore, it is known that an effective volume can be produced by applying a light tint and a dark tint side by side, the light tint being applied to the area which it is desired to enhance. To produce this effect conventionally requires the use of two different compositions and depends on the fitness of the one who is applying them. This technique is furthermore difficult to employ in making up the lips.
The use is also known, for example from the documents EP 0 953 330, WO 01/51015 or EP 1 382 323, of optical effect pigments (goniochromatic or interference pigments) for modifying the perception of the volume of the part of the body to which the composition is applied, according to the angle of observation or the angle of incidence of the light.
In the case of mascaras, use is generally made of compositions having a high solids content, in order to contribute material to the keratinous fibres and thus to obtain a makeup result in which volume or loading are more or less bestowed.
Nevertheless, the increase in the solids content of solids such as waxes, fillers or pigments leads to an increase in the consistency of the product obtained and thus to an application to fibres which is problematic and difficult as the composition is thick and viscous, gives a granular and nonsmooth appearance to the deposited layer and is deposited with difficulty, in heterogeneous fashion and in clusters.
A description is also given in the document EP 1 525 876 of the use in a mascara of a polymer capable of swelling under the action of heat.
The documents US 6045783 and EP 1 195 157 also describe cosmetic compositions comprising polymers which are superabsorbent with regard to water.
The aim of the present invention is to provide a novel route for the formulation of cosmetic compositions capable of crosslinking on keratinous substances and of generating, on the said keratinous substances, a body-bestowing deposited layer having good properties of hold over time and a comfortable deposition on the skin, lips or eyelashes.
The inventors have discovered that it is possible to obtain such properties by using a system comprising compounds which crosslink in situ, so as to adhere better to keratinous substances. In addition, once applied to keratinous substances, these compounds absorb water, thus bringing about an increase in the volume of the deposited layer. The keratinous substances thus give the impression of being thicker, fuller or smoother by filling in their rough edges.
More specifically, a subject-matter of the invention is a cosmetic method for making up or for the nontherapeutic care of keratinous substances chosen from the nails, skin, lips or eyelashes, the method consisting in:
This first noncrosslinked polyrotaxane and this second noncrosslinked polyrotaxane, which are identical or different, are capable of polymerizing when they are subjected to a stimulus, that is to say an action, for example chemical, physicochemical or mechanical action, exerted on the composition or compositions comprising them.
According to one embodiment, the stimulus comprises at least one crosslinking agent. This is why, according to one alternative form, a subject-matter of the invention is a cosmetic method for making up or for the nontherapeutic care of keratinous substances chosen from the nails, skin, lips or eyelashes, the method consisting in depositing, on the said keratinous substances:
Preferably, the second noncrosslinked polyrotaxane is present in the first composition.
According to another embodiment, a crosslinking agent is grafted to the first and/or to the second polyrotaxane.
This is why a further subject-matter of the invention is a cosmetic method for making up or for the nontherapeutic care of keratinous substances chosen from the nails, skin, lips or eyelashes, the method consisting in depositing, on the said keratinous substances, at least one layer of a first composition comprising at least one first noncrosslinked polyrotaxane and at least one second noncrosslinked polyrotaxane, the first noncrosslinked polyrotaxane and/or the second noncrosslinked polyrotaxane being grafted with a crosslinking agent.
A further subject-matter of the invention is a cosmetic method for making up or for the nontherapeutic care of keratinous substances chosen from the nails, skin, lips or eyelashes, the method consisting in depositing, on the said keratinous substances:
The terms first and second compositions do not in any way condition the order of application of the said compositions to the keratinous substances. The second composition can be applied to the first composition and vice versa.
According to one embodiment, at least one layer of the first composition is applied to the keratinous substances and then at least one layer of the second composition is applied to all or part of the first layer.
Several layers of each first and second composition can also be applied alternately to the keratinous substances.
According to another alternative form, a further subject-matter of the invention is a cosmetic method for making up or for the nontherapeutic care of keratinous substances chosen from the nails, skin, lips and eyelashes, consisting in:
then
According to another aspect, another subject-matter of the present invention is a kit for making up or for the nontherapeutic care of keratinous substances chosen from the nails, skin, lips and eyelashes, comprising:
Preferably, the makeup kit according to the invention comprises the first and second compositions in separate packaging.
Each composition can be packaged separately in the same article of packaging, for example in a two-compartment pen, the base composition being delivered via one end of the pen and the top composition being delivered via the other end of the pen, each end being closed in particular in leaktight fashion by a cap.
Alternatively, each of the compositions can be packaged in a different article of packaging.
After bringing into contact, the first and second polyrotaxanes crosslink together and a deposited layer possessing good hold is obtained on the keratinous substances; this deposited layer is capable of increasing in volume by formation of a gel in the presence of a fluid. This fluid, preferably hydrophilic, can, for example, be sweat, saliva, tears, residual water of the skin, lips, nails and/or eyelashes, ambient moisture or any other natural or artificial liquid. It can be contributed by an external source, for example by moistening the keratinous substances before or after application of the compositions (for example with a spray, natural or artificial tears). The fluid can also be a polar solvent, such as, for example, propylene glycol or ethylene glycol.
The fluid, in particular water, can also be added directly to the composition or compositions comprising the noncrosslinked polyrotaxane or polyrotaxanes before application.
According to an embodiment, the fluid can be contributed via at least one additional layer of at least one third composition comprising an aqueous medium which is applied to the layer or layers of first and/or second composition in order to bring about the swelling of the crosslinked polyrotaxane.
These compositions, the volume of which is capable of increasing, make it possible to lastingly conceal defects of appearance of keratinous substances (blemishes, shadows under the eyes, folds, hollows, thinness) and may possibly confer an increased volume on the nails, skin, eyelashes or lips.
They make it possible to obtain, on keratinous substances, a deposited layer exhibiting good hold and satisfactory mechanical or rheological properties, such as a pleasant texture suitable for the use of the composition and a satisfactory elasticity, making it possible to obtain a comfortable deposited layer on the keratinous substances.
In addition, it is possible to incorporate a colouring material or an active principle in the first and/or the second composition, which makes it possible to efficiently trap said active principle or said colouring material in the gel which is formed on the keratinous substances after swelling of the deposited layer.
Furthermore, due to their water absorption capacity and thus due to sweat, these compositions can have a particular application in the field of foundations or mattifying creams. In addition, the water-swollen deposited layer (gel) makes it possible to prevent dehydration of the skin and feelings of discomfort and of tightness.
According to one embodiment, the deposited layer obtained on the keratinous substances after application of the first and/or second compositions and then swelling with water is subjected to a heat source. The heating then brings about the partial or complete evaporation of the water present in the gel and the retraction of the film on the keratinous substances and thus a tensioning effect of the film. It is thus possible to obtain, in the case of mascaras, a curving effect on the eyelashes or, in the case of products for caring for or making up the skin, an effect of smoothing the skin and of reducing wrinkles and fine lines.
NonCROSSLINKED POLYROTAXANES
Polyrotaxanes form part of the chemical family of the inclusion compounds, which comprise a first molecular entity which forms a cavity of limited size in which is housed a molecular entity of a second chemical type.
JP09216815 of Noevir Co. Ltd (1997) and JP09315937 of Shiseido Co. Ltd (1997) have described cosmetic products comprising pseudopolyrotaxanes.
The term “pseudopolyrotaxane” is understood to mean a supramolecular edifice which comprises at least one linear molecule and at least two cyclic molecules strung along the said linear molecule, the linear molecule and the cyclic molecules not being bonded via covalent bonds, with the result that the cyclic molecules can move freely along the linear molecule.
The molecules described in these documents comprise a backbone on which cyclic molecules (cyclodextrins) are included. However, the compositions do not increase in volume sufficiently once applied to keratinous substances and their hold over time is poor. In addition, the cyclic molecules have a tendency to become unstrung when the pseudopolyrotaxane is dissolved.
A “polyrotaxane” is obtained from a pseudopolyrotaxane, to which is attached, at each end of the linear molecule, a “blocking” molecular structure which prevents the cyclic molecules and the linear molecule from separating, if appropriate.
The composition or compositions employed in the process according to the invention comprise at least one first noncrosslinked polyrotaxane and at least one second noncrosslinked polyrotaxane, that is to say compounds which are not bonded to one another and which, subjected to a stimulus, are capable of crosslinking with one another, by formation of at least one bond, which can be chemical or physical, between a cyclic molecule of the first polyrotaxane and at least one cyclic molecule of the second polyrotaxane, to form a crosslinked polyrotaxane.
The bond can in particular be a metallic bond, an ionic bond, a covalent bond, an interaction resulting from the formation of charge transfer complexes, a weak interaction of hydrogen bond, Van der Waal's bond or π-π bond type, or a mixture of these.
A polyrotaxane is thus a supramolecular assemblage in which cyclic molecules are “included” by a linear molecule. To prevent the cyclic molecules from becoming unstrung from the linear molecule, the ends of the linear molecule are functionalized by bulky or ionic groups (blocking molecular structures).
a) Linear Molecules
In the present invention, the expression “linear molecule” is intended to denote a substantially “linear” molecule. This means that a linear molecule can comprise one or more branch chains, provided that the cyclic molecules can be rotated about or moved along the linear molecule.
The length of the “linear” molecule is not limited to a specific length, provided that the linear molecule allows the cyclic molecules to turn round on themselves or to move along the said linear molecule.
The linear molecule of the first polyrotaxane and/or the linear molecule of the second polyrotaxane can be chosen independently of one another from polymers, in particular:
Preference is given, among these compounds, to polyethylene glycols, polyisoprenes, polyisobutylenes, polybutadienes, polypropylene glycols, polytetrahydrofurans, polydimethylsiloxanes, polyethylenes and polypropylenes. Polyethylene glycols are particularly preferred.
The linear molecules advantageously have, independently of one another, a weight-average molecular weight of greater than or equal to 350 g/mol, for example ranging from 350 to 2 000 000, preferably ranging from 1500 to 1 000 000, more preferably ranging from 2800 to 800 000, even better still ranging from 7000 to 700 000, for example ranging from 10 000 to 600 000 or from 10 000 to 500 000.
The linear molecules preferably carry reactive groups at each end. The fact of carrying the reactive groups makes it possible to facilitate the reaction with the molecular structures intended to prevent separation between the linear molecules and the cyclic molecules which they carry.
The reactive groups depend on the blocking molecular structures to be employed.
Mention may be made, as examples, of hydroxyl groups, amino groups, tosylate groups, polymerizable groups, activated ester groups, such as N-hydroxysuccinimide ester groups, carboxyl groups, thiol groups and the like.
b) Cyclic Molecules
In the present invention, a “cyclic molecule” denotes a molecule comprising at least one cyclic structure. The cyclic molecule can comprise two or more cyclic structures or a double ring. The cyclic molecule can be a macrocycle, such as a cyclodextrin.
The cyclic molecules of the first and second polyrotaxanes can be chosen, independently of one another, from:
The size of the internal cavity or cavities of the cyclic molecules can vary according to the linear molecule chosen. In any case, cyclic molecules are chosen which can be strung along the linear molecule. Thus, the cavity of the cyclic molecule will preferably have a diameter greater than the diameter of the cross section of a minimum imaginary cylinder in which the linear molecule can be included.
Preference is given, among the cyclic molecules which can be used, to cyclodextrins.
According to one embodiment, α-cyclodextrin is used as cyclic molecule and a polyethylene glycol is used as linear molecule.
The cyclic molecules preferably have groups capable of generating bonds which are not situated in their cavity. This makes it possible to subsequently bond the cyclic molecules to one another via a chemical or physical bond. The reactive groups of the cyclic molecules can comprise, for example, hydroxyl, amino, carboxyl or thiol groups. Furthermore, it is preferable to choose cyclic molecules having reactive groups which do not react with the blocking structures during the blocking reaction between the said blocking structures and the linear molecules.
The ratio of the number of cyclic molecules strung along a linear molecule to the maximum amount of cyclic molecules of the same nature which could be strung along this linear molecule ranges from 0.001 to 0.6, preferably from 0.01 to 0.5 and better still from 0.05 to 0.4. This ratio may be referred to as “inclusion amount”.
The maximum inclusion amount is standardized as being equal to 1. It corresponds to the amount at which a linear molecule makes it possible to include a maximum of cyclic molecules.
It is preferable for the linear molecule not to exhibit a dense stack of cyclic molecules. This dense stack state corresponding to the maximum inclusion amount equal to 1. The fact of creating a non-dense stack of cyclic molecules makes it possible to retain molecular segments which can be moved, with the result that the crosslinked polyrotaxane exhibits a high fracture strength, a high entropic elasticity, a superior expandability and/or a superior restoring property, and, if desired, a high absorbability or a high hygroscopicity.
According to one embodiment, the cyclic molecules can be cyclized after inclusion of the linear molecules. More specifically, it is possible to use a precursor of the cyclic molecules having at least one open segment analogous to the letter “C”.
In this case, the “C” segments can be closed after the inclusion of the linear molecule or after the blocking of the linear molecule with a blocking group. For the molecules having a segment analogous to the letter “C”, see M. Asakawa et al., Angewandte Chemie International, 37(3), 333-337 (1998), and M. Asakawa et al., European Journal of Organic Chemistry, 5, 985-994 (1999), both being incorporated here by way of reference.
c) Molecular Structures Situated at the Chain End of the Linear Molecules: Blocking Structures
The blocking structures have to keep the cyclic molecules strung along the linear molecule.
These blocking structures can prevent the cyclic molecules from separating from the linear molecule due to their high steric volume.
The blocking structures situated at each end of each linear molecule can also prevent the cyclic molecules from decomplexing from the linear molecule by exhibiting specific ionic charges.
The expression “molecular structure” denotes here a molecule, a macromolecule or a solid support.
A macromolecule or a solid support can include several blocking sites. A blocking structure of a macromolecule can be present in the main chain or in a side chain.
When a blocking structure is a macromolecule A, the macromolecule A can constitute a matrix, a portion of which comprises pseudopolyrotaxanes, or conversely the pseudopolyrotaxane can constitute a matrix, a portion of which comprises the macromolecule A.
The blocking molecular structures can be chosen from:
According to one embodiment, when the linear molecule is a polyethylene glycol, the cyclic molecules can be chosen from α-cyclodextrin, dinitrophenyl groups, such as the 2,4- and 3,5-dinitrophenyl groups, adamantane groups, trityl groups, fluoresceins, pyrenes and their combinations.
d) Crosslinking
The first and/or second polyrotaxanes are capable of crosslinking by formation of at least one chemical bond or of at least one physical bond (preferably at least two physical bonds) between at least one cyclic molecule of the noncrosslinked polyrotaxanes, when they are subjected to a stimulus.
As set out above, the stimulus can be an action, for example a chemical, physicochemical or mechanical action, exerted on the first composition and/or the second composition.
The crosslinking can thus be carried out thermally, photochemically, chemically and/or mechanically, in the presence or absence of a crosslinking agent.
It can, for example, be carried out at the temperature of the skin or by using means not specifically intended for heating, such as a hot body (cup or a hot drink). The composition can also be heated using a means specifically dedicated to heating, such as, for example, a means which propels hot air, such as a hairdryer, or a heating device, such as, for example, a heating applicator.
According to one embodiment, the first and second polyrotaxanes crosslink via a chemical or physical bond which can be formed by a simple bond or by a bond involving different atoms or molecules. The said bond can be obtained by reaction of the said two cyclic molecules with a crosslinking agent or a photocrosslinking agent.
The term “crosslinking agent” is understood to mean a compound capable of creating at least one chemical bond (covalent bond) or physical bond (ionic bond, hydrogen bond, π-π interactions or Van der Waals forces) between two or more molecules.
A cyclic molecule preferably has one or more reactive groups on the outside of the nucleus, as described above. In particular, it is preferable, after the formation of a blocked polyrotaxane molecule, for some cyclic molecules of different polyrotaxanes to be crosslinked to one another by means of a crosslinking agent. This reaction can be carried out under the action of temperature or of a variation in pH. In this case, the conditions of the crosslinking reaction must be conditions under which the blocking groups of the blocked polyrotaxane are not removed.
According to one embodiment, the first composition and/or the second composition comprises at least one crossing agent, alone or in combination with the noncrosslinked polyrotaxane or polyrotaxanes.
According to an alternative form, the crosslinking agent can be grafted to a filler or to a colouring material, such as those described later.
According to one embodiment, the crosslinking agent is grafted to the first and/or second noncrosslinked polyrotaxane, in particular to the cyclic segment of the said noncrosslinked polyrotaxane or polyrotaxanes.
According to one embodiment, the first composition or the second composition additionally comprises at least one crosslinking agent.
Preferably, the composition comprising a crosslinking agent does not comprise noncrosslinked polyrotaxane; in particular, the first composition employed in the process according to the invention does not comprise crosslinking agent.
Use may be made, as crosslinking agents, of crosslinking agents well known in the prior art.
Use may be made, for example, of:
Mention may be made, as other examples of crosslinking agents, of cyanuric chloride, trimesoyl chloride, terephthaloyl chloride, epichlorohydrin, dibromobenzene, glutaraldehyde, bis(acid chlorides) (for example, sebacoyl dichloride), tri(acid chlorides) and the like.
The crosslinking agent can be chosen from coupling agents of silane type (for example, alkoxysilanes) and/or titanium-based coupling agents (for example alkoxytitanium compounds).
Use may also be made, as crosslinking agents, of crosslinking agents capable of forming, between them, at least two physical bonds (in particular hydrogen bonds), it being possible for these crosslinking agents to be, independently of one another, carried by a noncrosslinked polyrotaxane or present in either of the first and/or second compositions. Mention may be made, as examples of such agents, of the 2,6-diaminopyridine and uracils pair, the barbituric acid and triaminopyridines pair, or also ureidopyrimidinones, ureidotriazines or cyanuric acid derivatives which crosslink with one another.
Mention may be made, as crosslinking agent capable of establishing one or more ionic bonds, of polyvalent metallic compounds which form ionic crosslinkings, such as, for example, oxides, hydroxides and weak acid salts (for example, carbonates, acetates, and the like) of alkaline earth metals (for example, calcium or magnesium), of zinc or of aluminium; mention may be made, for example, of calcium oxide, zinc diacetate or aluminium sulphate.
Such crosslinking agents (also known under the name of “synthons”) are described, for example, in the following references: “Supramolecular Polymers”, L. Brunsveld, B. J. B. Folmer, E. W. Meijer and R. P. Sijbesma, Chemical Reviews, 2001, 4071-4098 or Supramolecular Chemistry, J M Lehn, VCH, 1995.
Mention may be made, as other examples, of various photocrosslinking agents which are employed for materials designed for soft contact lenses, for example photocrosslinking agents based on stilbazolium salts, such as formylstyrylpyridinium salts (see K. Ichimura et al., Journal of Polymer Science, edition on the chemistry of polymers, 20, 1411-1432 (1982), incorporated here by way of reference), and other photocrosslinking agents, for example photocrosslinking agents by photodimerization, specifically cinnamic acid, anthracene, thymines and the like.
The crosslinking agents preferably have weight-average molecular weights of less than 2000, preferably of less than 1000, better still of less than 600 and very particularly of less than 400.
In the case where a-cyclodextrin is used as cyclic molecule and where a crosslinking agent is used to crosslink it, mention may be made, as examples of crosslinking agent, of cyanuric chloride, tolylene 2,4-diisocyanate, 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole, trimesoyl chloride, terephthaloyl chloride, alkoxysilanes, such as tetramethoxysilane and tetraethoxysilane, cycloaliphatic epoxides, such as 3,4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl 3,4-epoxycyclohexanecarboxylate, polyethylene oxide-succinimidyl glutarates, such as polyethylene oxide-tetrasuccinimidyl glutarate, bishydrazides, and the like, and their mixtures. In particular, it is preferable to use a-cyclodextrin as cyclic molecule and cyanuric chloride as crosslinking agent.
Preparation of a Noncrosslinked Polyrotaxane
The compounds according to the present invention can be prepared according to the teaching of Patent Application EP 1 283 218, with the exception of the crosslinking stage.
First of all, the cyclic molecules and the linear molecules are mixed in order to prepare the pseudopolyrotaxanes, in which the cyclic molecules are strung along the linear molecules. Secondly, the polyrotaxanes are prepared by blocking each end of the linear molecules with blocking groups, so as to prevent the removal of the cyclic molecules.
According to one embodiment of the invention, α-cyclo-dextrin is used as cyclic molecule, a polyethylene glycol is used as linear molecule, a 2,4-dinitrophenyl group is used as blocking group and cyanuric chloride is used as crosslinking agent.
First of all, each end of the polyethylene glycol is converted to an amino group, in order to be able subsequently to attach a blocking group to the end of the polyethylene glycol and to form the polyrotaxane. In an alternative form, use may be made of diamine-terminated PEG/PPO copolymers, sold by Huntsman under the Jeffamine reference.
Subsequently, the a-cyclodextrin and the aminated polyethylene glycol derivative are mixed in order to prepare the pseudopolyrotaxane. The duration of the mixing ranges from 1 to 48 hours and the mixing temperature ranges from 0 to 100° C., so that the inclusion amount of α-cyclodextrin with regard to the polyethylene glycol derivative ranges from 0.001 to 0.6.
Generally, a polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of 20 000 makes it possible to include at most 230 α-cyclodextrin molecules. The maximum inclusion amount, corresponding to 230 molecules, is equal to 1.
According to one embodiment, 60 to 65 (63) α-cyclodextrin molecules are on average strung over one polyethylene glycol molecule, which corresponds to a degree of inclusion ranging from 0.26 to 0.29 (0.28) with respect to the maximum inclusion amount. The α-cyclodextrin inclusion amount can be determined by NMR, light absorption or elemental analysis.
The pseudopolyrotaxane obtained is reacted with 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene dissolved in DMF, which makes it possible to obtain the noncrosslinked polyrotaxane.
The polyrotaxane can be used as is or partially or completely prehydrated.
It is possible, for example, to dissolve the noncrosslinked polyrotaxane beforehand in a basic aqueous solution, for example a sodium hydroxide solution.
The first and second noncrosslinked polyrotaxanes can be present in a content ranging from 0.1 to 80% by weight, preferably from 1 to 50% by weight and more preferably from 2 to 30% by weight, with respect to the total weight of each first or second composition.
According to a specific embodiment, the first and/or second composition according to the invention comprises, in addition to the first noncrosslinked polyrotaxane and/or the second noncrosslinked polyrotaxane, at least one crosslinked polyrotaxane which has been obtained by crosslinking, prior to its introduction into the composition, at least one first noncrosslinked polyrotaxane and at least one second noncrosslinked polyrotaxane, as described above.
Liquid Fatty Phase
The first composition and/or the second composition advantageously comprises a liquid fatty phase.
The term “liquid fatty phase” is understood to mean, within the meaning of the patent application, a fatty phase which is liquid at ambient temperature (25° C.) and atmospheric pressure (760 mmHg) and which is composed of one or more nonaqueous fatty substances which are liquid at ambient temperature, also known as oils or organic solvents.
The oil can be chosen from volatile oils and/or non-volatile oils, and their mixtures.
The oil or oils can be present in the composition according to the invention in a content ranging from 1% to 80% by weight, preferably from 5% to 50% by weight, with respect to the total weight of the composition.
The term “volatile oil” is understood to mean, within the meaning of the invention, an oil capable of evaporating on contact with keratinous substances in less than one hour at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure. The volatile organic solvent or solvents and the volatile oils of the invention are volatile cosmetic organic solvents and oils which are liquid at ambient temperature and which have a nonzero vapour pressure, at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure, ranging in particular from 0.13 Pa to 40 000 Pa (10−3 to 300 mmHg), in particular ranging from 1.3 Pa to 13 000 Pa (0.01 to 100 mmHg) and more particularly ranging from 1.3 Pa to 1300 Pa (0.01 to 10 mmHg).
The term “nonvolatile oil” is understood to mean an oil which remains on keratinous substances at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure for at least several hours and which has in particular a vapour pressure of less than 10−3 mmHg (0.13 Pa).
These oils can be hydrocarbon oils, silicone oils, fluorinated oils or their mixtures.
The term “hydrocarbon oil” is understood to mean an oil comprising mainly hydrogen and carbon atoms and optionally oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur and phosphorus atoms. Volatile hydrocarbon oils can be chosen from hydrocarbon oils having from 8 to 16 carbon atoms, in particular 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), isodecane or isohexadecane, for example the oils sold under the Isopar or Permethyl tradenames, branched C8-C16 esters, isohexyl neopentanoate, and their mixtures. Other volatile hydrocarbon oils, such as petroleum distillates, in particular those sold under the Shell Solt name by Shell, can also be used. Preferably, the volatile solvent is chosen from volatile hydrocarbon oils having from 8 to 16 carbon atoms and their mixtures.
Use may also be made, as volatile oils, of volatile silicones, such as, for example, volatile linear or cyclic silicone oils, in particular those having a viscosity ≦8 centistokes (8×10−6 m2/s) and having in particular from 2 to 7 silicon atoms, these silicones optionally comprising alkyl or alkoxy groups having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms.

corresponding to the oils of formula (I) for which R is respectively a butyl group, a propyl group or an ethyl group.
Use may also be made of volatile fluorinated solvents, such as nonafluoromethoxybutane or perfluoromethylcyclopentane.

According to one embodiment, the fatty phase advantageously comprises an ester oil. This ester oil can be chosen from the esters of monocarboxylic acids with monoalcohols and polyalcohols.
Advantageously, the said ester corresponds to the following formula (I):
R1—CO—O—R2 (I)
The term “optionally substituted” is understood to mean that R1 and/or R2 can carry one or more substituents chosen, for example, from groups comprising one or more heteroatoms chosen from O, N and S, such as amino, amine, alkoxy or hydroxyl.
Preferably, the total number of carbon atoms of R1+R2 is ≧9.
R1 can represent the residue of a linear or, preferably, branched fatty acid, preferably a higher fatty acid, comprising from 1 to 40 and better still from 7 to 19 carbon atoms and R2 can represent a linear or, preferably, branched hydrocarbon chain comprising from 1 to 40, preferably from 3 to 30 and better still from 3 to 20 carbon atoms. Again, preferably, the number of carbon atoms of R1+R2≧9.
Examples of the R1 groups are those derived from the fatty acids chosen from the group consisting of acetic, propionic, butyric, caproic, caprylic, pelargonic, capric, undecanoic, lauric, myristic, palmitic, stearic, isostearic, arachidic, behenic, oleic, linolenic, linoleic, eleostearic, arachidonic and erucic acids and of their mixtures.
Examples of esters are, for example, Purcellin oil (cetearyl octanoate), isononyl isononanoate, isopropyl myristate, 2-ethylhexyl palmitate, 2-octyldodecyl stearate, 2-octyldodecyl erucate, isostearyl isostearate and the heptanoates, octanoates, decanoates or ricinoleates of alcohols or of polyalcohols, for example of fatty alcohols.
Advantageously, the esters are chosen from the compounds of the above formula (I) in which R1 represents an unsubstituted linear or branched alkyl group of 1 to 40 carbon atoms, preferably of 7 to 19 carbon atoms, optionally comprising one or more ethylenic double bonds and R2 represents an unsubstituted linear or branched alkyl group of 1 to 40 carbon atoms, preferably of 3 to 30 carbon atoms and better still of 3 to 20 carbon atoms, optionally comprising one or more ethylenic double bonds.
Preferably, R1 is an unsubstituted branched alkyl group of 4 to 14 carbon atoms, preferably of 8 to 10 carbon atoms, and R2 is an unsubstituted branched alkyl group of 5 to 15 carbon atoms, preferably of 9 to 11 carbon atoms. Preferably, in the formula (I), R1—CO— and R2 have the same number of carbon atoms and derive from the same radical, preferably unsubstituted branched alkyl, for example isononyl, that is to say that, advantageously, the molecule of ester oil is symmetrical.
The ester oil will preferably be chosen from the following compounds:
In the case where the compositions are intended to be applied to the lips, use may in particular be made of a “viscous” oil, that is to say an oil having a viscosity at 25° C. advantageously of greater than or equal to 200 cSt, in particular of greater than or equal to 500 cSt, indeed even of greater than or equal to 1000 cSt. The viscous oil advantageously exhibits a molecular weight of greater than or equal to 600 g/mol, for example of greater than or equal to 700, indeed even 800, indeed even 900 g/mol.
The dynamic viscosity at 25° C. of the viscous oil can be measured with a Mettler RM 180 rotational viscometer, the density of the oil being taken into consideration in carrying out the conversion to cSt.
The Mettler RM 180 device (Rheomat) can be equipped with various spindles according to the order of magnitude of the viscosity which it is desired to measure. For a viscosity of between 0.18 and 4.02 Pa·s, the device is equipped with a spindle 3. For a viscosity of between 1 and 24 Pa·s, the device is equipped with a spindle 4 and, for a viscosity of between 8 and 122 Pa·s, the device is equipped with a spindle 5. The viscosity is read on the device in deviation units (DU). Reference is subsequently made to grafts supplied with the measurement device in order to obtain the corresponding value in poises and then to carry out the conversion to stokes.
The rotational speed of the spindle is 200 revolutions/min.
From the moment when the spindle is set rotating, at a constant imposed rotational speed (in the case in point, 200 revolutions/min), the viscosity value of the oil can vary over time. Measurements are taken at regular time intervals until they become constant. The value of the viscosity which has become constant over time is the value selected as being the value of the dynamic viscosity of the viscous oil.
This oil can be chosen from:
a) silicone oils, such as
b) nonpolar hydrocarbon oils, such as squalene, linear or branched hydrocarbons, such as paraffin, petrolatum and naphthalene oils, hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated polyisobutene, isoeicosane, squalane, decene/butene copolymers, polybutene/polyisobutene copolymers, in particular Indopol L-14, polydecenes, such as Puresyn 10, and their mixtures.
The fatty phase can represent from 5 to 80% by weight, with respect to the total weight of the composition, preferably from 10 to 60% and more preferably still from 15 to 50% by weight.
According to one embodiment, the first composition and/or the second composition employed in the process according to the invention are anhydrous, that is to say devoid of water other than the residual water contributed by some compounds.
Aqueous Phase
The first and/or the second composition can comprise an aqueous phase.
The aqueous phase can be composed essentially of water; it can also comprise a mixture of water and of water-miscible solvent (miscibility in water of greater the 50% by weight at 25° C.), such as lower monoalcohols having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms, for example ethanol or isopropanol, glycols having from 2 to 8 carbon atoms, such as propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol or dipropylene glycol, C3-C4 ketones, C2-C4 aldehydes and their mixtures.
The aqueous phase can, in this case, represent from 5 to 95% by weight, with respect to the total weight of the composition comprising it, preferably from 10 to 85% by weight.
Solid or Pasty Fatty Substances
The composition according to the invention can also comprise at least one fatty substance which is solid at ambient temperature chosen in particular from waxes, pasty fatty substances and their mixtures. These fatty substances can be of animal, vegetable, mineral or synthetic origin.
Wax
The composition according to the invention can comprise a wax or a mixture of waxes.
The wax under consideration in the context of the present invention is generally a lipophilic compound which is solid at ambient temperature (25° C.), which exhibits a reversible solid/liquid change in state and which has a melting point of greater than or equal to 30° C. which can range up to 120° C.
On bringing the wax to the liquid state (melting), it is possible to render it miscible with oils and to form a microscopically homogeneous mixture but, on bringing the temperature of the mixture back to ambient temperature, recrystallization of the wax in the oils of the mixture is obtained.
In particular, the waxes suitable for the invention can exhibit a melting point of greater than approximately 45° C. and in particular of greater than 55° C.
The melting point of the wax can be measured using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), for example the calorimeter sold under the name DSC 30 by Mettler.
The measurement protocol is as followed:
A 15 mg sample of the product placed in a crucible is subjected to a first rise in temperature ranging from 0° C. to 120° C. at a heating rate of 10° C./ minute, is then cooled from 120° C. to 0° C. at a cooling rate of 10° C./minute and, finally, is subjected to a second rise in temperature ranging from 0° C. to 120° C. at a heating rate of 5° C./minute. During the second rise in temperature, the variation in the difference in power absorbed by the empty crucible and by the crucible comprising the sample of product is measured as a function of the temperature. The melting point of the compound is the value of the temperature corresponding to the tip of the peak of the curve representing the variation in the difference in powder absorbed as a function of the temperature.
The waxes capable of being used in the compositions according to the invention are chosen from waxes of animal, vegetable, mineral or synthetic origin, and their mixtures, which are deformable or nondeformable solids at ambient temperature.
The wax can also exhibit a hardness ranging from 0.05 MPa to 30 MPa and preferably ranging from 6 MPa to 15 MPa. The hardness is determined by the measurement of the compressive force measured at 20° C. using a texture analyser sold under the name TA-TX2i by Rheo, equipped with a stainless steel cylinder with a diameter of 2 mm which is displaced at the measuring rate of 0.1 mm/s, and which penetrates the wax to a penetration depth of 0.3 mm.
The measurement protocol is as follows:
The wax is melted to a temperature equal to the melting point of the wax +20° C. The molten wax is cast in a receptacle with a diameter of 30 mm and a depth of 20 mm. The wax is recrystallized at ambient temperature (25° C.) for 24 hours and then the wax is stored at 20° C. for at least 1 hour before measuring the hardness. The value of the hardness is the maximum compressive force measured divided by the surface area of the cylinder of the texture analyser in contact with the wax.
Use may in particular be made of hydrocarbon waxes, such as beeswax, lanolin wax and Chinese insect waxes; rice wax, carnauba wax, candelilla wax, ouricury wax, esparto wax, cork fibre wax, sugarcane wax, Japan wax and sumac wax; montan wax, microcrystalline waxes, paraffin waxes and ozokerite; polyethylene waxes, waxes obtained by the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and waxy copolymers, and also their esters.
Mention may also be made of the waxes obtained by catalytic hydrogenation of animal or vegetable oils having linear or branched C8-C32 fatty chains.
Mention may in particular be made, among these, of hydrogenated jojoba oil, isomerized jojoba oil, such as the trans-isomerized partially hydrogenated jojoba oil manufactured or sold by Desert Whale under the commercial reference Iso-Jojoba-50®, hydrogenated sunflower oil, hydrogenated castor oil, hydrogenated coconut oil, hydrogenated lanolin oil, di(1,1,1-trimethylolpropane)tetrastearate, sold under the name “Hest 2T-4S” by Heterene, or di(1,1,1-trimethylolpropane)tetrabehenate, sold under the name “Hest 2T-4B” by Heterene.
Mention may also be made of silicone waxes, such as alkyl or alkoxy dimethicones having from 16 to 45 carbon atoms, or fluorinated waxes.
Use may also be made of the wax obtained by hydrogenation of olive oil esterified with stearyl alcohol sold under the name “Phytowax Olive 18 L 57” or else of the waxes obtained by hydrogenation of castor oil esterified with cetyl alcohol sold under the names “Phytowax castor 16L64” and “Phytowax castor 22L73” by Sophim. Such waxes are described in Application FR-A-2 792 190.
According to a specific embodiment, the compositions according to the invention can comprise at least one wax known as “tacky wax”, that is to say having a tack of greater than or equal to 0.7 N.s and a hardness of less than or equal to 3.5 MPa.
The use of a tacky wax can in particular make it possible to obtain a cosmetic composition which is easily applied to keratinous fibres, which has good attachment to keratinous fibres and which results in the formation of a smooth, homogeneous and thickening makeup.
The tacky wax used can in particular have a tack ranging from 0.7 N.s to 30 N.s, in particular of greater than or equal to 1 N.s, in particular ranging from 1 N.s to 20 N.s, especially of greater than or equal to 2 N.s, in particular ranging from 2 N.s to 10 N.s, and especially ranging from 2 N.s to 5 N.s.
The tack of the wax is determined by the measurement of the change in the force (compressive force or stretching force) as a function of the time at 20° C. using the texture analyser sold under the name “TA-TX2i®” by Rheo, equipped with a spindle made of acrylic polymer in the shape of a cone forming an angle of 45°.
The measurement protocol is as follows:
The wax is melted at a temperature equal to the melting point of the wax +10° C. The molten wax is cast in a receptacle with a diameter of 25 mm and a depth of 20 mm. The wax is recrystallized at ambient temperature (25° C.) for 24 hours, so that the surface of the wax is flat and smooth, and then the wax is stored at 20° C. for at least 1 hour before measuring the tack.
The spindle of the texture analyser is displaced at the rate of 0.5 mm/s and then penetrates the wax to a penetration depth of 2 mm. When the spindle has penetrated the wax to a depth of 2 mm, the spindle is held stationary for 1 second (corresponding to the relaxation time) and is then withdrawn at the rate of 0.5 mm/s.
During the relaxation time; the force (compressive force) strongly decreases until it becomes zero and then, during the withdrawal of the spindle, the force (stretching force) becomes negative to subsequently again increase towards the value of 0. The tack corresponds to the integral of the curve of the force as a function of the time for the part of the curve corresponding to the negative values of the force (stretching force). The value of the tack is expressed in N.s.
The tacky wax which can be used generally has a hardness of less than or equal to 3.5 MPa, in particular ranging from 0.01 MPa to 3.5 MPa, especially ranging from 0.05 MPa to 3 MPa, indeed even also ranging from 0.1 MPa to 2.5 MPa.
The hardness is measured according to the protocol described above.
Use may be made, as tacky wax, of a C20-C40 alkyl (hydroxystearyloxy)stearate (the alkyl group comprising from 20 to 40 carbon atoms), alone or as a mixture, in particular a C20-C40 alkyl 12-(12′-hydroxystearyloxy)stearate.
Such a wax is sold in particular under the names “Kester Wax K 82 P®” and “Kester Wax K 80 P®” by Koster Keunen.
The abovementioned waxes generally exhibit a starting melting point of less than 45° C.
The wax or waxes can be present in the form of an aqueous wax microdispersion. The term “aqueous wax microdispersion” is understood to mean an aqueous dispersion of wax particles in which the size of the said wax particles is less than or equal to approximately 1 μm.
Wax microdispersions are stable dispersions of colloidal wax particles and are described in particular in “Microemulsions Theory and Practice”, edited by L. M. Prince, Academic Press (1977), pages 21-32.
In particular, these wax microdispersions can be obtained by melting the wax in the presence of a surfactant and optionally of a portion of the water and then gradually adding hot water with stirring. The intermediate formation of an emulsion of the water-in-oil type, followed by phase inversion, with a microemulsion of oil-in-water type finally being obtained, is observed. On cooling, a stable microdispersion of solid colloidal wax particles is obtained.
The wax microdispersions can also be obtained by stirring the mixture of wax, of surfactant and of water using stirring means, such as ultrasound, a high pressure homogenizer or turbine mixers.
The particles of the wax microdispersion preferably have mean sizes of less than 1 μm (in particular ranging from 0.02 μm to 0.99 μm), preferably of less than 0.5 μm (in particular ranging from 0.06 μm to 0.5 μm).
These particles are composed essentially of a wax or of a mixture of waxes. However, they can comprise a minor proportion of oily and/or pasty fatty additives, a surfactant and/or a conventional fat-soluble additive/active principle.
The term “pasty fatty substances” is understood to mean a lipophilic fatty compound comprising, at a temperature of 23° C., a liquid fraction and a solid fraction.
The said pasty compound preferably has a hardness at 20° C. ranging from 0.001 to 0.5 MPa, preferably from 0.002 to 0.4 MPa.
The hardness is measured according to a method of penetration of a probe into a sample of compound and in particular using a texture analyser (for example, the TA-XT2i from Rheo) equipped with a stainless steel cylinder with a diameter of 2 mm. The hardness measurement is carried out at 20° C. at the centre of 5 samples. The cylinder is introduced into each sample at a pre-rate of 1 mm/s and then at a measuring rate of 0.1 mm/s, the depth of penetration being 0.3 mm. The value recorded for the hardness is that of the maximum peak.
The liquid fraction of the pasty compound measured at 23° C. preferably represents 9 to 97% by weight of the compound. This liquid fraction at 23° C. preferably represents between 15 and 85%, more preferably between 40 and 85%, by weight. The liquid fraction by weight of the pasty compound at 23° C. is equal to the ratio of the enthalpy of fusion consumed at 23° C. to the enthalpy of fusion of the pasty compound.
The enthalpy of fusion of the pasty compound is the enthalpy consumed by the compound to change from the solid state to the liquid state. The pasty compound is “in the solid state” when the whole of its mass is in the crystalline solid form. The pasty compound is “in the liquid state” when the whole of its mass is in the liquid form.
The enthalpy of fusion of the pasty compound is equal to the area under the curve of the thermogram obtained using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), such as the calorimeter sold under the name MDSC 2920 by TA Instrument, with a rise in temperature of 5 or 10° C. per minute, according to Standard ISO 11357-3:1999. The enthalpy of fusion of the pasty compound is the amount of energy necessary to change the compound from the solid state to the liquid state. It is expressed in J/g.
The enthalpy of fusion consumed at 23° C. is the amount of energy absorbed by the sample to change from the solid state to the state which it exhibits at 23° C., composed of a liquid fraction and of a solid fraction.
The liquid fraction of the pasty compound measured at 32° C. preferably represents from 30 to 100% by weight of the compound, preferably from 80 to 100%, more preferably from 90 to 100% by weight of the compound. When the liquid fraction of the pasty compound measured at 32° C. is equal to 100%, the temperature of the end of the melting range of the pasty compound is less than or equal to 32° C.
The liquid fraction of the pasty compound measured at 32° C. is equal to the ratio of the enthalpy of fusion consumed at 32° C. to the enthalpy of fusion of the pasty compound. The enthalpy of fusion consumed at 32° C. is calculated in the same way as the enthalpy of fusion consumed at 23° C.
The pasty substances are generally hydrocarbon compounds, such as lanolins and their derivatives, or also PDMSs.
The nature and the amount of the solid substances depend on the mechanical properties and textures desired. By way of indication, each first or second composition can comprise from 0.1 to 70% by weight of waxes, with respect to the total weight of the composition, better still from 1 to 60% by weight and even better still from 5 to 40% by weight.

The first and/or second composition can comprise a film-forming polymer. According to the present invention, the term “film-forming polymer” is understood to mean a polymer capable of forming, alone or in the presence of an additional agent which is able to form a film, a continuous film which adheres to a support, in particular to keratinous substances.
The film-forming polymer can be present in each composition according to the invention in a content of dry matter (or active materials) ranging from 0.1% to 30% by weight, with respect to the total weight of the composition, preferably from 0.5% to 20% by weight and better still from 1% to 15% by weight.

These colouring materials can be present in a content ranging from 0.01% to 50% by weight, preferably from 0.01% to 30% by weight, with respect to the weight of each first and second composition.
The pigments of use in the present invention can be provided in the form of a pigment paste or powder.
The term “dyes” should be understood as meaning compounds, generally organic compounds, which are soluble in at least one oil or in one aqueous/alcoholic phase.
The term “pigments” should be understood as meaning white or coloured and inorganic or organic particles which are insoluble in the aqueous or medium and which are intended to colour and/or opacify the resulting film.

The dispersing agent serves to protect the dispersed particles from the agglomeration or flocculation thereof. This dispersing agent can be a surfactant, an oligomer, a polymer or a mixture of several of them carrying one or more functionalities having a strong affinity for the surface of the particles to be dispersed. In particular, they can become attached physically or chemically to the surface of the pigments.

Mention may also be made of pyrogenic silica optionally treated hydrophobically at the surface, the size of the particles of which is less than 1 μm. This is because it is possible to chemically modify the surface of the silica by chemical reaction, resulting in a reduction in the number of silanol groups present at the surface of the silica. It is possible in particular to substitute silanol groups by hydrophobic groups: a hydrophobic silica is then obtained. The hydrophobic groups can be:
The hydrophobic pyrogenic silica exhibits in particular a particle size which can be nanometric to micrometric, for example ranging from approximately 5 to 200 nm.

Use is preferably made of surfactants which make it possible to obtain an oil-in-water or wax-in-water emulsion.
The term “fibre” should be understood as meaning an object with a length L and a diameter D such that L is much greater than D, D being the diameter of the circle in which the cross section of the fibre is framed. In particular, the L/D ratio (or aspect ratio) is chosen within the range from 3.5 to 2500, preferably from 5 to 500 and better still from 5 to 150.

The invention is illustrated in more detail by the examples described below. Unless otherwise indicated, the amounts shown are expressed as percentage by weight.
40.0 g of HOOC-PEG-COOH (1.2×10−3 mol, M 33 000) and 160 g of α-cyclodextrin (0.16 mol) are dissolved under hot conditions in 1.35 l of water and then the mixture is cooled to 4° C. during 16 h. The white complex is recovered and freeze dried. 30 g of the dry complex are mixed with 0.34 g of adamantanamine (2.2×10−3 mol), 1.0 g of (benzotriazol-1-yloxy)tris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP reagent) (2.3×10−3 mol), and 0.40 ml of ethyldiisopropylamine (EDIPA) dissolved in 200 ml of dehydrated DMF. The reaction mixture is left to react at 4° C. for 16 h and then the mixture is washed twice with 400 ml of DMF/methanol (1:1) and twice with 250 ml of methanol by centrifuging.
The product is dissolved in 170 ml of DMSO, precipitated from 800 ml of water and then washed by centrifuging twice with 500 ml of water. After washing, the product is dried under vacuum and 17.6 g of a white powder are obtained.
0.9 g of polyethylene glycol-bisamine (abbreviated to PEG-BA), sold by Fluka, and 3.6 g of α-cyclodextrin were dissolved in 30 ml of water at 80° C. and the mixture was maintained at 5° C. overnight, in order to obtain the white paste of the inclusion complex.
The paste was dried, an excess of 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (2.4 ml) was added, at the same time as 10 ml of dimethylformamide, and then the mixture was stirred overnight at ambient temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was dissolved in 50 ml of DMSO and precipitated twice from a 0.1% aqueous sodium chloride solution (800 ml) to give a yellow product. The product was collected, washed with water and methanol (three times, respectively) and dried to produce the polyrotaxane (1.25 g).
10 g of polyrotaxane according to Example 1 were dissolved in 70 ml of a 1N NaOH solution. 0.5 g of a solution of cyanuric chloride in 5 ml of a 1N NaOH solution were subsequently added to the mixture at 5° C. The reaction mixture was reacted at 5° C. for 8 hours and the product is collected by freeze drying.
