Description

Moisturizing no-rinse makeup removal composition

RELATED APPLICATIONS

The present application claims the benefit of U.S. non-provisional patent application No. 17/038,943, filed on 9/30/2020, and french application No. 2013074, filed on 12/11/2020, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

Technical Field

The invention relates to a moisturizing no-rinse makeup removal composition.

Background

Removal of make-up has been a challenge and a consumer's pain spot, particularly mascara and waterproof mascara, permanent foundation and more permanent lip products. Typical make-up removal products do not remove the make-up effectively, and therefore require repeated pulling and rubbing on the skin and/or delicate eye areas, causing irritation. Some oil-based make-up removal products are easy to remove but impart discomfort and greasy feel to the skin. Less greasy substitutes can soil and leave cosmetic residues. Many of the existing compositions also require rinsing after use. Thus, there is a need for a composition that not only provides clean and comfortable feel to the skin after use, but also allows for easy and effective removal of makeup and does not require subsequent washing and rinsing.

Indeed, the invention described in the specification is broader than and unlimited by the exemplary embodiments set forth herein, and the terms used herein have their full ordinary meaning.

It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the disclosure.

Drawings

The features and advantages of the present general inventive concept will become apparent from the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is a data plot in the form of a 2D chart showing makeup removal efficacy for compositions according to the present disclosure and comparative compositions.

Detailed Description

By "cosmetically acceptable" is meant a carrier compatible with any keratinous substrate.

"keratinous substrate" and "keratinous tissue" each include, but are not limited to, skin, hair, and nails.

The composition according to the present disclosure comprises at least one of a silicone-based emulsifier, a branched liquid alkane having a carbon chain length of C12 to C20, a emollient ester, ether or carbonate having a carbon chain length of C12 to C24, a humectant, and water. In some embodiments, the composition may further comprise one or more additives, including preservatives, actives and perfumes.

The compositions according to the present disclosure are water-in-oil (silicone oil as exemplified herein) emulsions. In contrast to the more common types of oil-in-water emulsion skin cleanser formulations, water-in-oil emulsions are sometimes referred to as inverse emulsions. The composition has a creamy gel texture, has a moderate to long-term use time, is comfortable to apply and is not immediately absorbed or volatilized by the skin. After massaging the face, the composition is effective in dissolving the eye, face and lip makeup. The use of paper towels or cosmetic cottons allows the user to gently wipe off the dissolved cosmetic. The composition does not need to be washed after being applied, so that the skin feels smooth and moist, and is not greasy or sticky.

In accordance with the present disclosure, the compositions of the present invention overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide unexpected benefits including easy removal of make-up overall, easy removal of foundation, easy removal of mascara (both conventional and waterproof) without friction, improved overall efficacy over commercial comparative compositions, clean and fresh skin feel, softness and smoothness, no greasiness, no residue and pleasant fragrance.

By expert evaluation of makeup removal efficacy, exemplary embodiments of compositions according to the present disclosure demonstrate significantly better performance in removing mascara (including waterproof mascara) and permanent foundation solutions than MUR currently on the market. Exemplary embodiments of the compositions according to the present disclosure not only provide better performance in terms of makeup removal efficacy, including improved performance in removing both mascara and foundation, but also provide an experience that is more pleasant to the person and relatively better skin feel after use.

While the disclosure has been described with reference to the described embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for preferred elements thereof without departing from the scope of the disclosure. In addition, many modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation or material to the teachings of the disclosure without departing from the essential scope thereof. Therefore, it is intended that the disclosure not be limited to the particular embodiment disclosed as the best mode contemplated for carrying out this disclosure, but that the disclosure will include all embodiments falling within the scope of the appended claims.

The article "a/an" as used herein means one or more when applied to any feature in embodiments of the present disclosure described in the specification and claims. The use of "a/an" does not limit the meaning to a single feature unless such a limit is specifically stated. The articles "a" or "an" preceding singular or plural nouns or noun phrases denote one or more particular specified features, and may have a singular or plural meaning depending upon the context in which it is used. The adjective "any" means any number of one, some, or all indiscriminately.

As used herein, "at least one" means one or more and thus includes individual components as well as mixtures/combinations.

When used in the original and modified forms of the appended claims, the transitional terms "comprising," "consisting essentially of," and "consisting of," are intended to be excluded from the scope of the claims, relative to the additional claim elements or steps (if any) that are not recited. The term "comprising" is intended to be inclusive or open ended and does not exclude any additional, unrecited elements, methods, steps, or materials. The term "consisting of … …" does not include any element, step or material other than the elements, steps or materials specified in the claims, and in the latter case does not include impurities normally associated with the specified materials. The term "consisting essentially of limits the scope of the claims to those specified elements, steps or materials and those that do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristics of the claimed disclosure. In alternative embodiments, all materials and methods described herein that embody the present disclosure may be more specifically defined by any of the transitional terms "comprising," consisting essentially of.

The terms "free" and "absent" mean that no excluded material is present in the composition that can be reliably measured, typically 0% by weight based on the total weight of the composition. The term "substantially free" means that although it is preferred that no excluded materials are present in the composition, it is possible to have very small amounts of excluded materials in the compositions of the present invention, provided that such amounts do not materially affect the advantageous properties of the composition. In particular, "substantially free" means that the excluded material may be present in the composition in an amount less than about 0.1% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition.

Except in the operating examples, or where otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities of ingredients and/or reaction conditions are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term "about" to indicate within 10% of the indicated number (e.g., "about 10%" indicates 9% to 11% and "about 2%" indicates 1.8% to 2.2%).

All percentages and ratios are by weight unless otherwise indicated. All percentages are calculated on the total composition unless otherwise indicated. In general, unless explicitly stated otherwise herein, "weight" or "amount" relative to a percent amount of an ingredient, as used herein, refers to the amount of a starting material comprising the ingredient, wherein the starting material may be described herein as comprising less than or up to 100% activity of the ingredient. Thus, the weight percent of active agent in the composition is expressed as the amount of raw material containing the active agent used, and may or may not reflect the final percentage of active agent, where the final percentage of active agent depends on the weight percent of active agent in the raw material.

The terms "weight percent" and "wt%" are used interchangeably and refer to weight percent based on the total weight of a composition, article, or material, except as related to, for example, a phase, or system provision as part of a composition, article, or material. All ranges and amounts given herein are intended to encompass sub-ranges and amounts using any disclosed point as an endpoint. Thus, a range of "1% to 10%, such as 2% to 8%, such as 3% to 5%", is intended to encompass a range of "1% to 8%", "1% to 5%", "2% to 10%", etc. All numbers, amounts, ranges, etc. are intended to be modified by the term "about," whether or not so explicitly stated. Similarly, a range of "about 1% to 10%" is given, with the term "about" being intended to modify 1% and 10% endpoints. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the amounts of the components are given, it is intended to represent the amounts of the active materials unless specifically stated otherwise.

Notwithstanding that the numerical ranges and parameters setting forth the broad scope of the disclosure are approximations, the numerical values set forth in the specific examples are reported as precisely as possible unless otherwise indicated. Any numerical value, however, inherently contains certain errors necessarily resulting from the standard deviation found in their respective testing measurements. The following examples are illustrative of embodiments of the present disclosure, but are not limiting in nature.

All publications and patent applications cited in this specification are herein incorporated by reference and for any and all purposes as if each individual publication or patent application were specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference. If there is an inconsistency between the present disclosure and any of the publications or patent applications incorporated by reference herein, the present disclosure shall control.
