Patent Application
20060110334
Disclosed herein is a two-compartment aerosol device comprising at least one electrophilic monomer and at least one compressed gas, and the use of the cosmetic composition contained in the aerosol device for the cosmetic treatment of keratin materials, for example, hairstyling.
Hairstyling compositions, such as lacquers and sprays, packaged in aerosol spray form, may generally be composed of a liquid phase comprising, in an aqueous, alcoholic, or aqueous-alcoholic cosmetically acceptable medium, at least one fixing material and a propellant, which is a liquefied gas under reduced pressure or dissolved in the liquid phase.
Other aerosol devices comprising such a liquid phase may exist, but they comprise compressed gases to propel the liquid phase. However, these compressed-gas devices may have the drawback of losing gas pressure over time. The reason for this is that the compressed gases may leak over time or the devices may be used incorrectly, i.e. the devices may be turned upside down.
This drawback may result in increasingly poor propulsion of the liquid phase over time and, consequently, increasingly poor distribution of the liquid phase onto the hair.
Another factor that may lead to poor distribution of the liquid phase from these devices is the quality of the spray. For example, the spray may degrade when it is desired to obtain the best possible fixing, i.e., when it is sought to increase the amount of polymer that can be dissolved in the liquid phase.
In the field of hairstyling, the fixing materials are generally fixing polymers, i.e., film-forming polymers that are soluble or dispersible in water and in alcohol, such as vinyl acetate/crotonic acid copolymers, anionic or amphoteric acrylic resins, and polyurethanes. These polymers, when mixed with a suitable solvent, constitute the liquid phase in an aerosol container, which allows them to be sprayed onto the hair in the form of a cloud of dispersed droplets.
Once applied to the hair, the liquid phase dries, allowing for the formation of welds required for the fixing of the hairstyle by the fixing materials. The welds must be strong enough to ensure hold of the hairstyle.
However, the welds must also be fragile enough for the user to be able to destroy them by combing or brushing the hair, without damaging the scalp or the hair.
The present inventors have discovered, surprisingly, that the mechanical separation of the liquid phase from the compressed gas providing the propulsion, and the use of electrophilic monomers as described in Patent Application No. FR 2 840 208, may make it possible to solve at least one of the problems of leakage and of distribution of the liquid phase on keratin materials such as the hair and also may result in improved fixing and hold of the hairstyle, i.e., allowing the user to obtain welds of better quality than those obtained with a standard fixing material, while at the same time maintaining at least some good cosmetic properties such as softness and disentangling.
Disclosed herein is thus a two-compartment aerosol device comprising a cosmetic composition that comprises at least one electrophilic monomer as described below, in a first compartment, and at least one compressed gas in a second compartment, wherein the first and second compartments provide, during the use of the device, a permanent mechanical separation therein between the cosmetic composition and the at least one compressed gas.
Further disclosed herein is the use of the composition contained in the device for the cosmetic treatment of keratin materials, for example, for styling hair.
Even further disclosed herein is a hair treatment process comprising spraying the disclosed composition as defined herein onto the hair, in the presence of at least one nucleophilic agent as defined herein.
The spraying onto the hair of a cosmetic composition that comprises at least one electrophilic monomer, using such a device, may lead to a uniform distribution of the product on the hair and to at least some good cosmetic effects.
Other subjects, characteristics, aspects and advantages of the various embodiments disclosed herein will emerge even more clearly on reading the description and the examples that follow.
The two-compartment aerosol device disclosed herein comprises:
(i) a first compartment comprising a cosmetic composition comprising, in at least one cosmetically acceptable medium, at least one electrophilic monomer and
(ii) a second compartment, comprising at least one compressed gas, wherein the first and second compartments provide, during the use of the device, a permanent mechanical separation therein between the cosmetic composition and the at least one compressed gas.

In some embodiments, the at least one additive may be optionally encapsulated. In one embodiment, the capsule may be polycyanoacrylate.
In some embodiments, the two-compartment aerosol device comprises an outer aerosol can comprising an inner pocket hermetically welded to a valve. The cosmetic composition is introduced into the inner pocket and at least one compressed gas is introduced between the pocket and the can at a pressure sufficient to make the cosmetic composition exit in the form of a spray through the orifice of a nozzle. Such a device is sold under the name EP Spray by the company EP-Spray System SA.
The cosmetic composition contained in the two-compartment aerosol device disclosed herein may be used for treating the hair, for example, for hairstyling. In one embodiment, the cosmetic composition is sprayed onto the hair in the presence of at least one nucleophilic agent.
The method for cosmetically treating hair comprises spraying a cosmetic composition as defined above, contained in the two-compartment aerosol device, onto the hair, in the presence of at least one nucleophile as defined herein.
The at least one nucleophile capable of initiating the anionic polymerization are systems known per se which are capable of generating a carbanion on contact with an electrophilic monomer. As used herein, “carbanion” means the chemical species defined in “Advanced Organic Chemistry”, Third Edition, Jerry March, page 141.
The at least one nucleophile may, for example, be chosen from molecular compounds, oligomers, dendrimers, and polymers comprising at least one nucleophilic functional group. Examples of the at least one nucleophilic functional group which may be mentioned include the following groups: R2N−, NH2−, Ph3C−, R3C−, PhNH−, pyridine, ArS−, R—C≡C−, RS−, SH−, RO−, R2NH, ArO−, N3−, OH−, ArNH2, NH3, I−, Br−, Cl−, RCOO−, SCN−, ROH, RSH, NCO−, CN−, NO3−, ClO4− and H2O, wherein Ph is a phenyl group, Ar is an aryl group and R is chosen from C1-C10 alkyl groups.
In one embodiment, the at least one nucleophile is chosen from hydroxyl ions, such as those present in water. The water may be provided by prior wetting of the hair.
In one embodiment, the cosmetic composition comprising the at least one electrophilic monomer does not comprise a nucleophile.
In yet another embodiment, a second composition comprises the at least one nucleophile. The second composition is applied to the hair before or after the first composition comprising the at least one electrophilic monomer.
It is also possible, in order to modify the reaction kinetics, to wet the hair, beforehand by means of an aqueous solution whose pH has been adjusted using at least one agent chosen from basifying and acidifying agents. The at least one agent may be organic or inorganic.
It is also possible to modify the anionic polymerization kinetics by pre-impregnating the hair, using at least one nucleophile other than water. The at least one nucleophile may be used in its pure state, in solution, in the form of an emulsion, or in the form of a capsule.
In order to modify the anionic polymerization kinetics it is also possible to enhance the nucleophilicity of the hair, by chemically converting the keratin material of the hair fiber.
By way of example of chemical conversion, mention may be made of the reduction of the disulphide bridges, of which the keratin is partly composed, to thiols, prior to application of the composition disclosed herein.

In order to modify the anionic polymerization kinetics, and more specifically to reduce the polymerization rate of the at least one electrophilic monomer, it is possible to enhance the viscosity of the composition. To accomplish this it is possible to add to the disclosed cosmetic composition at least one polymer which may exhibit no reactivity with the at least one electrophilic monomer. For example, the at least one polymer may be chosen from poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and cyanoacrylate-based copolymers as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,224,622.
In order to improve, among other things, the adhesion of the poly(cyanoacrylate) formed in situ, it is possible to pretreat the hair fibers with many types of polymers, or to carry out a hair treatment before applying the composition disclosed herein, such as a direct dyeing, oxidation dyeing, permanent waving, or straightening treatment.
The cosmetic composition contained in the aerosol device may optionally be rinsed after it is applied.
The invention is illustrated in greater detail by the examples described below. Other than in the examples, or where otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities of ingredients, reaction conditions, and so forth used in the specification and claims are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term “about.” Accordingly, unless indicated to the contrary, the numerical parameters set forth in the following specification and attached claims are approximations that may vary depending upon the desired properties sought to be obtained herein. At the very least, and not as an attempt to limit the application of the doctrine of equivalents to the scope of the claims, each numerical parameter should be construed in light of the number of significant digits and ordinary rounding approaches.
Notwithstanding that the numerical ranges and parameters in the disclosure above are approximations, the numerical values set forth in the specific examples are reported as precisely as possible. Any numerical value, however, inherently contains certain errors necessarily resulting from the standard deviation found in its respective testing measurements.
