Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention is in the field of cosmetic compositions for application to skin and lips.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Cosmetic compositions are generally defined as compositions suitable for application to the human body. Pigmented cosmetic compositions such as makeup, blush, lipstick, and eyeshadow are used to color the skin and lips, or to moisturize, hide wrinkles, and the like. Since color is one of the most important reasons for wearing cosmetics, color containing cosmetics must be very carefully formulated to provide maximum wear and effect.

One of the long standing problems with makeups such as face makeup, lipstick, mascara, and the like, is the tendency of the cosmetic to blot or transfer from the skin or lashes onto other surfaces such as glassware, silverware, skin, or clothing. This not only creates soiling, but forces the cosmetic user to reapply the cosmetic at fairly short intervals.

Cosmetic compositions with improved transfer resistance are disclosed in a previous patent application entitled "Cosmetic Compositions With Improved Transfer Resistance", filed by Applicants'assignee as U.S. Ser. No. 990,716 on Dec. 15, 1992, which is hereby incorporated by reference. However, these transfer resistant cosmetic compositions can have a matte texture on the skin and lips.

However, some women prefer lipsticks that have a slightly glossy finish (referred to as semi-matte). In geneal, the ingredients that can be added to matte transfer resistant lipsticks to enhance gloss and provide a semi-matte finish have a tendency to compromise transfer resistance.

It has been unexpectedly discovered that cosmetic compositions containing the combination of a volatile solvent with a polymeric organosiloxane emulsifier that is miscible or soluble in the volatile solvent and has a lipophilic portion and a hydrophilic portion provides cosmetic compositions that have excellent transfer resistance, as well as providing a semi-matte finish when applied to skin.

An object of this invention is to formulate cosmetic compositions, particulary lipsticks, with long lasting adherence to skin that provides a semi-matte finish when applied to skin.

Another object of this invention is to formulate a transfer resistant cosmetic composition that provides a semi-matte finish, that, once applied to skin, resists transfer to glass, clothing, other skin, or utensils.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The invention is directed to a transfer resistant anhydrous cosmetic stick composition comprising, by weight of the total composition:

a) 10-70% of a volatile solvent having a viscosity of 0.5 to 25 centistokes at 25.degree. C., and b) 0.1-40% of a polymeric organosiloxane emulsifier containing at least one hydrophilic radical or portion, and at least one lipophilic radical or portion.

The invention is also directed to a method for providing a cosmetic stick composition with transfer resistance and a semi-matte finish when applied to skin, comprising adding to said composition the combination of a volatile solvent and a polymeric organosiloxane emulsifier that has at least one lipophilic radical or portion and at least one hydrophilic radical or portion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The term "stick" refers to cosmetic compositions having a consistency such that they can be molded into the form of a stick--for instance by being heated until molten and then poured into a mold and cooled. Also included within the definition of "stick" are anhydrous compositions of the invention that are capable of being formed into sticks, but are poured into pans or other types of cake or cream forms to deliver certain consumer benefits. For example, an eyeshadow composition in accordance with the invention may be molded in the stick form, but it may be desired to pour it into a pan because this container is more desireable from a consumer standpoint.

The term "anhydrous" means that the composition contains no more than about 5 percent, more particularly about 1 to 2 percent by weight or less of water, or more preferably, that water is not intentionally added to the cosmetic composition of the invention.

THE VOLATILE SOLVENT

The volatile solvent component of the composition is a liquid, and enables easy formulation of the cosmetic stick of the invention. Wben the cosmetic stick product of the invention is applied to skin or lips, the volatile solvent of the invention must be capable of flashing off to leave the other ingredients in the stick on the skin. The composition of the invention comprises 10-70%, preferably 20-65%, and most preferably 25-60% of a volatile solvent. The volatile solvent generally has a viscosity of 0.5 to 25 centistokes at 25.degree. C. Suitable volatile solvents include linear silicones, cyclic silicones, paraffinic hydrocarbons, or mixtures thereof.

Cyclic silicones (or cyclomethicones) are of the general formula: ##STR1## where n=3-7.

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

(CH.sub.3).sub.3 Si--O--�Si(CH.sub.3).sub.2 --O!.sub.n --Si(CH.sub.3).sub.3 where n=0-7, preferably 0-5.

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

Also suitable as the volatile solvent are various straight or branched chain paraffinic hydrocarbons having 8 to 40 carbon atoms, more preferably 10-20 carbon atoms. Suitable hydrocarbons include decane, dodecane, tetradecane, tridecane, and C.sub.8-20 isoparaffins as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,439,088 and 3,818,105, both of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Preferred volatile paraffinic hydrocarbons have a molecular weight of 160 to 180 and a boiling point range of 105 to 320 degrees C., and a viscosity of less than 20 cs. at 25.degree. degrees C. Such paraffinic hydrocarbons are available from EXXON under the ISOPARS trademark, and from the Permethyl Corporation. Suitable C.sub.12 isoparaffins are manufactured by Permethyl Corporation under the tradename Permethyl 99A. Another C.sub.12 isoparaffin (isododecane) is distributed by Presperse under the tradename Permethyl 99A. Various C.sub.16 isoparaffins commercially available, such as isohexadecane (having the tradename Permethyl R), are also suitable. The volatile solvent may be a mixture of volatile silicones and paraffinic hydrocarbons if desired.

THE ORGANOSILOXANE EMULSIFIER

Organosiloxane emulsifiers in accordance with the invention have been traditionally used in stabilizing cosmetic water and oil emulsions such as creams, lotions, and the like. It has unexpectedly been discovered that combining an organosiloxane emulsifier (surfactant) with a volatile solvent in an anhydrous cosmetic stick composition provides a stick that is not only transfer resistant when applied to skin or lips, but at the same time provides a semi-matte finish on the skin or lips. The semi-matte finish is achieved without substantially compromising transfer resistance. In addition, the cosmetic has a moist and comfortable feel on the skin or lips.

The composition of the invention preferably comprises 0.1-40%, more preferably 0.5-20%, and most preferably 1-15% of the polymeric organosiloxane emulsifier containing at least one lipophilic radical or portion and at least one hydrophilic radical or portion. Organosiloxane emulsifiers suitable for use in the compositions of the invention can be identified as those which, when combined with organic and inorganic pigments, and incorporated into an anhydrous stick composition provide a homogeneous single phase product. The polymeric organosiloxane used in the invention may be a liquid or solid at room temperature. The polymeric organosiloxane is generally a water-in-oil or oil-in-water tppe surfactant which is preferably nonionic, having an Hydrophile/Lipophile Balance (HLB) of 2 to 18. Preferably the organosiloxane is a nonionic surfactant having an HLB of 2 to 12, preferably 2 to 10, most preferably 4 to 6. The HLB of a nonionic surfactant is the balance between the hydrophilic and lipophilic portions of the surfactant and is calculated according to the following formula:

HLB=7+11.7.times.log M.sub.y /M.sub.o where M.sub.w is the molecular weight of the hydrophilic group portion and M.sub.o is the molecular weight of the lipophilic group portion.

The term "organosiloxane polymer" means a polymer containing a polymeric backbone including repeating siloxy units that may have cylic, linear or branched repeating units, e.g. di(lower)alkylsiloxy units, preferably dimethylsiloxy units. The hydrophilic portion of the organosiloxane is generally achieved by substitution onto the polymeric backbone of a radical that confers hydrophilic properties to a portion of the molecule. The hydrophilic radical may be substituted on a terminus of the polymeric organosiloxane, or on any one or more repeating units of the polymer. In general, the repeating dimethylsiloxy units of modified polydimethylsiloxane emulsifiers are lipophilic in nature due to the methyl groups, and confer lipophilicity to the molecule. In addition, longer chain alkyl radicals, hydroxy-polypropyleneoxy radicals, or other types of lipophilic radicals may be substituted onto the siloxy backbone to confer further lipophilicity and organocompatibility. If the lipophilic portion of the molecule is due in whole or part to a specific radical, this lipophilic radical may be substituted on a terminus of the organosilicone polymer, or on any one or more repeating units of the polymer. It should also be understood that the organosiloxane polymer in accordance with the invention should have at least one hydrophilic portion and one lipophilic portion.

The term "hydrophilic radical" means a radical that, when substituted onto the organosiloxane polymer backbone, confers hydrophilic properties to the substituted portion of the polymer. Examples of radicals that will confer hydrophilicity are hydroxy-polyethyleneoxy, hydroxyl, carboxylates, sulfonates, sulfates, phosphates, or amines.

The term "lipophilic radical" means an organic radical that, when substituted onto the organosiloxane polymer backbone, confers lipophilic properties to the substituted portion of the polymer. Examples of organic radicals which will conver lipophilicity are C.sub.1-40 straight or branched chain alkyl, fluoro, aryl, aryloxy, C.sub.1-40 hydrocarbyl acyl, hydroxy-polypropyleneoxy, or mixtures thereof. The C.sub.1-40 alkyl may be non-interrupted, or interrupted by one or more oxygen atoms, a benzene ring, amides, esters, or other functional groups.

The polymeric organosiloxane emulsifier used in the invention may have any of the following general formulas:

If substituted, one or more of the hydrogens on the endcap methyl groups are substituted, or one or more methyl groups are substituted with a substituent that is a lipophilic radical, a hydrophilic radical, or mixtures thereof. T is a trifunctional siloxy unit having the empirical formula RR'SiO.sub.1.5 or RRSiO.sub.1.5. Q is a quadrifunctional siloxy unit having the empirical formula SiO.sub.2, and D,D',D",x, y, and z are as set forth below, with the proviso that the compound contains at least one hydrophilic radical and at least one lipophilic radical. Examples of emulsifiers used in the compositions of the invention are of the general formula: MD.sub.x D'.sub.y D".sub.z M wherein the trimethylsiloxy endcap unit is unsubstituted or mono-substituted, wherein one methyl group is substituted with a lipophilic radical or a hydrophilic radical.

Examples of such acid moieities include those derived from branched-chain fatty acids such as isostearic, or straight chain fatty acids such as behenic. Examples of suitable alcohol moieties include those derived from monohydric or polyhydric alcohols, e.g. normal alkanols such as n-propanol and branched-chain etheralkanols such as (3,3,3-trimethylolpropoxy)propane. Preferably the ester subgroup (i.e. the carbonyloxy radical) will be linked to the silicon atom by a divalent aliphatic chain that is at least 2 or 3 carbon atoms in length, e.g. an alkylene group or a divalent alkyl ether group. Most preferably that chain will be part of the alcohol moiety, not the acid moiety.

Preferably the silicone ester will have a melting point of no higher than about 90.degree. C. It can be a liquid or solid at room temperature. Preferably it will have a waxy feel and a molecular weight of no more than about 100,000 daltons.

Silicone esters having the above formula are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,725,658 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,334,737, which are hereby incorporated by reference.

EXAMPLE 5

The lipsticks Q and S of Example 1 (Sample A) were compared with a commercially available lipstick made by L'Oreal under the Colour Endure label (Sample B) to ascertain which product was more moisturizing to lips.

A total of thirteen subjects, after having refrained from using lip products for two days, were recruited for the study. Eleven subjects were used for the treatment group and two subjects served as the untreatd control group. Dry lips were simulated by blowing a stream of dry air over the lips for one minute. Baseline readings were performed on the dry lips using the NOVA Dermal Phase Meter fitted with a special lip probe. Subjects applied enough product to cover the lips and were instructed to refrain from licking the lips during the study. This was a half lip study; that is, altenate sides (left vs. right) contained Sample A vs. Sample B. After fifteen minutes, sample was wiped from the lips and readings were performed.

Lip moisture improved significantly for both samples A and B at fifteen minutes after one application of product. Average lip moisture improved by 75% for sample A and 43% for Sample B. Additionally, there was directional superiority of Sample A over Sample B at the 90% confidence level. There was no significant change in untreated control sites throughout the study.

In the context of this study, both samples give lips an immediate moisture boost and there is directional superiority of the formula of Example 1 over L'Oreal Colour Endure as set forth below:
