Description

Anhydrous antiperspirant composition in aerosol form comprising an antiperspirant active agent and a vinylpyrrolidone-derived polymer

The present invention relates to an anhydrous antiperspirant composition in aerosol form comprising, in a physiologically acceptable, in particular cosmetically acceptable, medium, i) an oily phase comprising:

- at least one volatile oil,

- at least one antiperspirant active agent chosen from aluminium and/or zirconium salts or complexes,

- at least one vinylpyrrolidone-derived polymer; and

ii) at least one propellant.

Another subject of the invention is a cosmetic process for treating human perspiration, and optionally the body odours associated with human perspiration, especially underarm odours, comprising the application of said composition to a surface of the skin.

The present invention also relates to the use of said cosmetic composition and also to an aerosol device using it. The armpits and also certain other parts of the body are generally the site of much discomfort that may arise directly or indirectly from perspiration. This perspiration often leads to unpleasant and disagreeable sensations that are mainly due to the presence of sweat resulting from perspiration, which may, in certain cases, make the skin clammy and clothing wet, especially in the region of the armpits or of the back, thus leaving visible marks. Finally, during its evaporation, sweat may also leave salts and/or proteins on the surface of the skin, which thus results in whitish marks on clothing. Such discomfort is noticed, including in the case of moderate perspiration.

In the cosmetics field, it is thus well known to use, in topical application, antiperspirant products containing substances that have the effect of limiting or even preventing the flow of sweat in order to overcome the problems mentioned above. These products are generally available in the form of roll-ons, sticks, aerosols or sprays. Antiperspirant substances are generally composed of aluminium and/or zirconium salts or complexes, such as aluminium chloride and aluminium hydroxyhalides. These substances make it possible to reduce the flow of sweat.

However, cosmetic compositions based on these antiperspirant substances generally have a tendency to become transferred onto clothing, leaving unsightly, visible marks.

In order to overcome this drawback, antiperspirant compositions containing oils with a refractive index close to those of aluminium salts have been developed. The role of such oils is to reduce the whitish appearance of antiperspirant compositions when they are deposited on the skin and, consequently, to make the marks on clothing less white. The oils used are generally fatty acid esters such as isopropyl myristate or polydimethylsiloxanes. Such compositions have especially been described in patents or patent applications EP 1362885, JP 030951 1 1 and FR 2242969. However, such antiperspirant compositions have the drawback of giving the skin, especially on the armpits, an oily sensation that is unpleasant for the user, and do not make it possible to limit the transfer of antiperspirant products from the skin onto clothing.

There is thus a real need to use antiperspirant cosmetic compositions in aerosol form, which do not have the drawbacks mentioned above, i.e. compositions which become transferred as little as possible onto fabrics and which maintain antiperspirant efficacy.

The applicant has thus discovered, surprisingly, that by applying, to the skin, an anhydrous composition in aerosol form containing an oily phase comprising at least one volatile oil, at least one antiperspirant active agent preferably chosen from aluminium and/or zirconium salts or complexes, at least one vinylpyrrolidone-derived polymer and at least one propellant, it was possible to minimize the problems of transfer of antiperspirant compositions onto fabrics while maintaining antiperspirant efficacy. Thus, the antiperspirant cosmetic composition in aerosol form in accordance with the invention leads to formulations which transfer less onto textiles, thus giving rise to fewer unsightly visible marks on clothing, especially on dark-coloured clothing, compared to a standard antiperspirant composition or an antiperspirant composition containing oils. In particular, the antiperspirant cosmetic composition makes it possible to significantly reduce the whitish marks on clothing, in particular on dark- coloured clothing.

Moreover, the cosmetic composition in aerosol form according to the invention maintains good antiperspirant efficacy.

Thus, the use of vinylpyrrolidone-derived polymers as described below in an antiperspirant composition based on aluminium salts makes it possible to reduce the transfer of unsightly visible marks onto clothing without harming the efficacy of the aluminium salts. Furthermore, the vinylpyrrolidone-derived polymers used prove to be compatible with the aluminium salts since they do not form a macroscopically visible precipitate in the composition.

One subject of the present invention is thus especially an anhydrous composition in aerosol form, containing: i) an oily phase comprising:

- at least one volatile oil,

- at least one vinylpyrrolidone-derived polymer; and

ii) at least one propellant.

The cosmetic composition according to the invention has both good transfer-resistance and antiperspirant properties.

Moreover, the present invention also relates to a cosmetic process for treating human perspiration, and optionally body odours associated with human perspiration, which consists in applying to the surface of a human keratin material an effective amount of the cosmetic composition as described previously.

The process according to the invention is particularly advantageous for treating armpit perspiration, since the composition used does not give an unpleasant oily sensation and transfers less onto clothing, while at the same time efficiently treating perspiration.

The invention also relates to the use of said composition cosmetically treating human perspiration. Other subjects, characteristics, aspects and advantages of the invention will emerge even more clearly on reading the description and the examples that follow.

For the purposes of the present invention, the term "physiologically acceptable medium" is intended to denote a medium that is suitable for the topical administration of a composition. A physiologically acceptable medium is preferentially a cosmetically or dermatologically acceptable medium, i.e. a medium that has no unpleasant colour or appearance, and that is entirely compatible with the topical administration route. In the present case, where the composition is intended for topical administration, i.e. by application at the surface of the keratin material under consideration, such a medium is considered in particular to be physiologically acceptable when it does not cause stinging, tightness or redness that is unacceptable to the user.

For the purposes of the present invention, the term "anhydrous" is intended to mean a liquid phase having a water content of less than 5% by weight, preferably less than 2% by weight and even more preferably less than 1 % by weight relative to the weight of said composition. It should be noted that the water in question is more particularly bound water, such as the water of crystallization in salts, or traces of water absorbed by the raw materials used in the production of the compositions according to the invention.

The term "human keratin materials" is intended to mean the skin (of the body, face and around the eyes), hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, body hair, nails, lips or mucous membranes.

The term "final composition" is intended to mean the combination of the liquid phase and of the propellant gas.

Needless to say, those skilled in the art will ensure they choose this or these optional additional compounds such that the advantageous properties intrinsically associated with the cosmetic composition in accordance with the invention are not, or are not substantially, adversely affected by the envisaged addition(s).

Deodorant active agents

According to a particular form of the invention, the compositions may contain at least one deodorant active agent in the liquid phase.

The term "deodorant active agent" is intended to mean any substance capable of reducing, masking or absorbing human body odours, in particular underarm odours.

The deodorant active agents may be bacteriostatic agents or bactericides that act on underarm odour microorganisms, such as 2,4,4'- trichloro-2'-hydroxydiphenyl ether (©Triclosan), 2,4-dichloro-2'-hydroxydiphenyl ether, 3',4',5'-trichlorosalicylanilide, 1 -(3',4'-dichlorophenyl)-3-(4'- chlorophenyl)urea (©Triclocarban) or 3,7,1 1 -trimethyldodeca-2, 5,10-trienol (©Farnesol); quaternary ammonium salts such as cetyltrimethylammonium salts, cetylpyridinium salts, DPTA (1 ,3-diaminopropanetetraacetic acid), 1 ,2- decanediol (Symclariol from the company Symrise); glycerol derivatives, for instance caprylic/capric glycehdes (Capmul MCM® from Abitec), glyceryl caprylate or caprate (Dermosoft GMCY® and Dermosoft GMC® from Straetmans), polyglyceryl-2 caprate (Dermosoft DGMC® from Straetmans), and biguanide derivatives, for instance polyhexamethylene biguanide salts; chlorhexidine and salts thereof; 4-phenyl-4,4-dimethyl-2-butanol (Symdeo MPP® from Symrise); zinc salts such as zinc salicylate, zinc gluconate, zinc pidolate, zinc sulfate, zinc chloride, zinc lactate or zinc phenolsulfonate; salicylic acid and derivatives thereof such as 5-n-octanoylsalicylic acid.

They may also be chelating agents such as Dissolvine GL-47-S® from Akzo Nobel, EDTA and DPTA. They may also be a polyol of glycerol or 1 ,3-propanediol type (Zemea Propanediol sold by Dupont Tate and Lyle BioProducts); or else an enzyme inhibitor such as triethyl citrate; or alum.

The deodorant active agents may also be agents for neutralizing foul- smelling volatile compounds, such as sodium bicarbonate sold by Universal Preserv-A-Chem, magnesium carbonate sold by Buschle & Lepper, calcium carbonate sold by Sensient, zinc oxide sold by Kobo, magnesium oxide sold by Dr. Paul Lohmann, or calcium oxide; amine derivatives such as tromethamine (TRIS AMINO ULTRA sold by Angus (Dow chemical), triethanolamine, triethylamine and ethanolamine.

The deodorant active agents may be present in the composition according to the invention in a proportion of approximately 0.01 % to 20% by weight relative to the total composition, and preferably in a proportion of approximately 0.1 % to 5% by weight relative to the total weight of the final composition.

Moisture absorbers

It is also possible to add moisture absorbers, for instance perlites and preferably expanded perlites.

The cosmetic composition may comprise one or more moisture absorbers chosen from perlites.

Preferably, the cosmetic composition comprises one or more absorbers chosen from expanded perlites. The perlites that may be used according to the invention are generally aluminosilicates of volcanic origin and have the composition:

70.0-75.0% by weight of silica SiO₂

12.0-15.0% by weight of aluminium oxide AI2O3 3.0-5.0% of sodium oxide Na₂O

3.0-5.0% of potassium oxide K₂O

0.5-2% of iron oxide Fe₂O3

0.2-0.7% of magnesium oxide MgO

0.5-1 .5% of calcium oxide CaO 0.05-0.15% of titanium oxide TiO₂.

The perlite is ground, dried and then sized in a first step. The product obtained, known as perlite ore, is grey-coloured and has a size of the order of 100 pm. The perlite ore is subsequently expanded (1000°C/2 seconds) to give relatively white particles. When the temperature reaches 850-900°C, the water trapped in the structure of the material evaporates and brings about the expansion of the material, with respect to its original volume. The expanded perlite particles in accordance with the invention may be obtained via the expansion process described in patent US 5 002 698.

Preferably, the perlite particles used will be ground; in this case, they are known as Expanded Milled Perlite (EMP). They preferably have a particle size defined by a median diameter D50 ranging from 0.5 to 50 m and preferably from 0.5 to 40 pm. Preferably, the perlite particles used have an untamped apparent density at 25°C ranging from 10 to 400 kg/m³ (standard DIN 53468) and preferably from 10 to 300 kg/m³.

Preferably, the expanded perlite particles according to the invention have a water absorption capacity, measured at the wet point, ranging from 200% to 1500% and preferably from 250% to 800%. The wet point corresponds to the amount of water which has to be added to 1 g of particle in order to obtain a homogeneous paste. This method is directly derived from the oil uptake method applied to solvents. The measurements are carried out in the same way via the wet point and the flow point, which have, respectively, the following definitions:

Wet point: weight, expressed in grams per 100 g of product, corresponding to the production of a homogeneous paste during the addition of a solvent to a powder.

Flow point: mass expressed in grams per 100 g of product above which the amount of solvent is greater than the capacity of the powder to retain it. This is reflected by the production of a more or less homogeneous mixture which flows over the glass plate.

The wet point and the flow point are measured according to the following protocol: Protocol for measuring the water absorption

1 ) Equipment used Glass plate (25 x 25 mm)

Spatula (wooden shaft and metal part, 15 x 2.7 mm) Silk-bristled brush Balance

2) Procedure

The glass plate is placed on the balance and 1 g of perlite particles is weighed out. The beaker containing the solvent and the liquid sampling pipette are placed on the balance. The solvent is gradually added to the powder, the whole being regularly blended (every 3 to 4 drops) by means of the spatula.

The mass of solvent needed to obtain the wet point is noted. Further solvent is added and the mass which makes it possible to reach the flow point is noted. The average of three tests will be determined.

The expanded perlite particles sold under the trade names Optimat 1430 OR or Optimat 2550 by the company World Minerals will be used in particular. Quick-drying agents

The antiperspirant composition according to the invention may also contain one or more agents for the quick drying of the composition after application to the keratin material. In a preferred embodiment, the quick-drying agents comprise monoalcohols having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and more particularly comprise methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol or mixtures thereof.

Suspension agents/gelling agents

The antiperspirant composition according to the invention may also contain one or more suspension agents and/or one or more gelling agents. Some of them may perform both functions simultaneously.

Among the agents that may be used as lipophilic suspension agents and/or gelling agents, mention may be made of clays, in powder form or in oily gel form, said clays possibly being modified, especially modified montmorillonite clays such as hydrophobic modified bentonites or hectorites, for instance hectorites modified with a Cio to C22 ammonium chloride, for instance hectorite modified with distearyldimethylammonium chloride, for instance the product disteardimonium hectorite (CTFA name) (product of reaction of hectorite and of distearyldimonium chloride) sold under the name Bentone 38 or Bentone Gel by the company Elementis Specialities. Mention may be made, for example, of the product Stearalkonium Bentonite (CTFA name) (product of reaction of bentonite and of quaternary stearalkonium ammonium chloride) such as the commercial product sold under the name Tixogel MP 250® by the company Sud Chemie Rheologicals, United Catalysts Inc. Use may also be made of hydrotalcites, in particular hydrophobic modified hydrotalcites, for instance the products sold under the name Gilugel by the company BK Giulini.

Mention may also be made of fumed silica optionally hydrophobically treated at the surface, the size of the particles of which is less than 1 μιτι. This is because it is possible to chemically modify the surface of the silica, by chemical reaction generating a reduction in the number of silanol groups present at the surface of the silica. It is especially possible to substitute silanol groups with hydrophobic groups: a hydrophobic silica is then obtained. The hydrophobic groups may be trimethylsiloxyl groups, which are obtained especially by treating fumed silica in the presence of hexamethyldisilazane. Silicas thus treated are known as "silica silylate" according to the CTFA (8th Edition, 2000). They are sold, for example, under the references Aerosil R812® by the company Degussa, CAB-O-SIL TS-530® by the company Cabot, dimethylsilyloxyl or polydimethylsiloxane groups, which are obtained especially by treating fumed silica in the presence of polydimethylsiloxane or dimethyldichlorosilane. Silicas thus treated are known as "silica dimethyl silylate" according to the CTFA (8th Edition, 2000). They are sold, for example, under the references Aerosil R972® and Aerosil R974® by the company Degussa and Cab-O-Sil TS-610® and Cab- O-Sil TS-720® by the company Cabot. The hydrophobic fumed silica has in particular a particle size which can be nanometric to micrometric, for example ranging from approximately 5 to 200 nm.

According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the suspension agents or gelling agents may be activated with oils such as propylene carbonate or triethyl citrate.

The amounts of these various constituents that may be present in the composition according to the invention are those conventionally used in compositions for treating perspiration.

Propellant As indicated previously, the cosmetic composition comprises one or more propellants.

The propellant used in the antiperspirant cosmetic composition according to the invention is chosen from dimethyl ether, volatile hydrocarbons such as propane, isopropane, n-butane, isobutane, n-pentane and isopentane, and mixtures thereof, optionally with at least one chlorohydrocarbon and/or fluorohydrocarbon; among the latter, mention may be made of the compounds sold by the company DuPont de Nemours under the names Freon® and Dymel®, and in particular monofluorotrichloromethane, difluorodichloronnethane, tetrafluorodichloroethane and 1 ,1 -difluoroethane, especially sold under the trade name Dymel 152 A® by the company DuPont.

Use may also be made, as propellant, of carbon dioxide gas, nitrous oxide, nitrogen or compressed air.

Preferably, the antiperspirant cosmetic composition according to the invention comprises a propellant chosen from volatile hydrocarbons. More preferentially, the propellant is chosen from isopropane, n-butane, isobutane, pentane and isopentane, and mixtures thereof.

The weight ratio between the liquid phase and the propellant gas varies in a ratio from 5/95 to 50/50, preferably from 10/90 to 40/60 and more preferentially from 15/85 to 30/70.

Preferably, the composition according to the invention comprises:

(i) an oily phase comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium,

- one or more volatile oils chosen from hydrocarbon-based oils,

- one or more antiperspirant active agents chosen from aluminium salts, - one or more vinylpyrrolidone-derived polymers chosen from a polyvinylpyrrolidone/hexadecene copolymer, a polyvinylpyrrolidone/eicosene copolymer or mixtures thereof, ii) one or more propellants.

The invention also relates to a cosmetic process for treating human perspiration, and optionally body odours associated with human perspiration, which consists in applying to the surface of the skin an effective amount of the cosmetic composition as described above.

The application time of the cosmetic composition to the surface of the skin may range from 0.5 to (10) seconds and preferably from 1 to 5 seconds. The cosmetic composition in accordance with the invention may be applied several times to the surface of the skin.

In particular, the cosmetic treatment process according to the invention consists in applying to the surface of the armpits an effective amount of the cosmetic composition as described above. The invention also relates to the use of said composition for the cosmetic treatment of human perspiration.

Another subject of the present invention is an aerosol device composed of a container comprising an aerosol composition as defined above and of a means for dispensing said composition. The dispensing means, which forms a part of the aerosol device, generally consists of a dispensing valve controlled by a dispensing head, which itself comprises a nozzle via which the aerosol composition is vaporized. The container containing the pressurized composition may be opaque or transparent. It may be made of glass, polymer or metal, optionally coated with a protective varnish coat. The examples which follow illustrate the present invention without limiting the scope thereof.

Method for measuring the transfer

The measurement of the transfer onto clothing was performed according to the protocol described below: Each of the compositions to be studied was deposited on an imitation leather article sold under the name Supplale® by the company Idemitsu Technofine, which is bonded onto a rigid support. This deposition is performed by spraying the aerosol for 2 seconds at a distance of 15 cm from the support.

After drying for 24 h in an oven at 35°C, a black cotton fabric, which is dry or has been sprayed with artificial^* sweat, is deposited on the imitation leather article. A weight of 2 kg is applied to the fabric. Everything is stretched over the whole length of the deposit. The weight transferred onto the fabric is then measured by virtue of a precision balance (Mettler AX205).

The transfer may also be evaluated by observing the residual deposit on the plate of synthetic leather: the fabric is then scanned with a scanner sold under the trade name Scanner Epson V500 (16-bit grey setting, resolution 300 dpi).

The grey level of the scans is then analyzed using ImageJ software which has a grey level ranging from 0 to 255. The higher the grey level value, the stronger the marks. It is thus sought to obtain the lowest possible grey level values.

The wear property is considered to be very good when the deposit is unchanged after the fabric has been passed over.

It is considered to be good when the deposit is visible after the fabric has been passed over.

It is considered to be poor when the deposit is no longer (or only slightly) visible after the fabric has been passed over. Composition of the artificial sweat:

Tackiness test:

The tackiness may, where appropriate, also be measured to evaluate the tackiness of the compositions according to the invention. This measurement is then carried out according to the protocol described below:

3.75 mg/cm² of product are spread on a specific support composed of a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) plate to which the Supplale support from Idemitsu is attached. After uniform spreading of the product, the plate with the film is placed under the texture analyzer equipped with a cylindrical probe which is 18 mm in diameter, to which an 18 mm disc of Bioskin support (Bioskin plate black K275 from Maprecos SAS) has been attached - and has been covered with a Supplale support.

The texture analyzer is placed in a glovebox so as to work in a temperature- and humidity-controlled atmosphere.

The probe applies a force of 400 g on the sample.

The apparatus then calculates the force required for the probe to separate from the sample. In the case of the experiment, only the maximum force which represents the strength of the tackiness of the formula at this given moment is retained. This type of measurement is carried out every 30 seconds for 320 seconds.

The evaluation of the tackiness is the following:

The tackiness is considered to be low when the detachment force is less than 60 g.

The tackiness is considered to be medium when the detachment force is between 60 g and 120 g.

The tackiness is considered to be high when the detachment force is greater than 120 g.

Results regarding the stickiness

The stickiness of compositions of examples 8 and 9 has been evaluated with a texturometer, at 35°C and 75% RH.

The compositions were sprayed for 2 seconds at 15 cm on Supplale support (commercialized by Idemitsu) and adfixed to a specific support formed by a PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) plate

After spraying, the plate and the film are placed under the texture analyzer equiped with a 18mm diameter cylindrical probe, on which a 18 mm Bioskin support disk (Bio skin plate black K275 from Maprecos SAS) has been afixed and covered with a Supplale support. The probe applies a force of about 400g on the sample.

The force required for separating the probe from the sample is then evaluated by the device. For the purpose of the present experiment, only the maximum force (representing the intensity of composition stickiness) is considered. The measure is repeated every 30 seconds, for 10 minutes.

Stickiness can be evaluated as follows :

- Stickiness is considered « low » when the peel force needed is below 60g

Stickiness is considered « medium » when the peel force needed is comprised between 60g and 120g

Stickiness is considered « high » when the peel force needed is above 120g The composition according to example 8 was demonstrated to have a low stickiness, while the composition according to example 9 was demonstrated to have a high stickiness.
