Description

The subject of the present invention is a foaming cleaning composition in the form of an aqueous gel comprising at least one anionic surfactant chosen from alkyl sulphoacetates, at least one anionic surfactant chosen from sulphosuccinates, and at least one anionic surfactant chosen from the acids sulfonated fatty acids and sulphonated fatty acid esters, as well as the use of said composition, especially in the cosmetic field, as cleaning or makeup removal products for keratin materials such as the skin, keratin fibers (eyelashes and hair), leather as well as to treat oily skin and / or disinfect the skin and / or the scalp.

The cleaning of the skin is very important for the care of the face. It must be as efficient as possible because fatty residues such as excess sebum, the remains of cosmetics used daily and makeup products accumulate in skin folds and can clog the pores of the skin and lead to appearance of buttons.

One way to clean the skin properly is to use foaming cleansers. Foaming cleansers currently available commercially are in the form of loaves, gels or foaming creams. They generally contain either soaps which have the advantage of giving a creamy foam but may cause tightness due to their excessive detergency, or foaming surfactants such as sulphated surfactants, in particular sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) or sodium laureth sulfate (SLES), or amphoteric surfactants such as coco betaine, cocoamidopropyl betaine or sodium cocoamphodiacétate, which are very efficient in terms of foam and detergency but which are called into question, rightly or wrongly, for their ecotoxic or eco-harmful environmental profile. Since the formulation of environmentally friendly cosmetics is an important issue to satisfy a new expectation of consumers, especially that of eco-designed and / or natural products, it is necessary to propose foaming compositions without sulphated surfactant or surfactant. amphoteric active, having good cosmetic qualities, mainly viscosity and foam. Furthermore, the foaming products can be thickened with a salt, for example sodium chloride, for certain surfactants, or by adding an alkyl-PEG type thickener such as PEG-150 distearate. or PEG-55 propylene glycol oleate, or by the addition of a natural gum type gelling agent, in particular xanthan gum, scleroglucan gum or carrageenan gum.

Salt thickening is a known and widely used approach for surfactant systems containing sulfates and amphoters, since it allows both to be cheap and also not to alter the qualities of foam; but in general, it does not significantly thicken systems without sulfate and / or without amphoter. On the other hand, the increase in the viscosity of the medium by another thickening or gelling agent is more versatile but often has a negative impact on the foam qualities of the formula (starting, amount of foam). It is therefore necessary to have available foaming compositions without sulfate or amphoteric surfactants, having a good viscosity obtained intrinsically or by adding salt, and good foam qualities. It has surprisingly been found that the combination of an anionic surfactant selected from alkyl sulphoacetates, an anionic surfactant selected from sulphosuccinates, and an anionic surfactant selected from sulphonated fatty acids and sulphonated fatty acid makes it possible to obtain clear, gel-like compositions that are stable over time. The subject of the present invention is therefore a foaming cleaning composition in the form of an aqueous gel comprising at least one anionic surfactant chosen from alkyl sulphoacetates, at least one anionic surfactant chosen from sulphosuccinates, and at least one anionic surfactant chosen from the sulphonated fatty acids and sulphonated fatty acid esters, the ratio of anionic surfactants chosen from sulphosuccinates to all the surfactants present in the composition being greater than 1/6, preferably greater than 1/5, and even more pre-eminently greater than 1/4, and better than 1/3. According to a particular embodiment, the ratio of anionic surfactants chosen from sulphosuccinates on all the surfactants present in the composition is less than 1/2. The composition according to the invention makes it possible to obtain a clear foaming gel having a good level of viscosity and good cosmetic qualities, mainly of foam (starting, quality, quantity), even with a level of sulphated surfactants and weak amphoteric surfactants. or when the composition is free of such surfactants. In addition, the addition of a salt in this type of composition, for example NaCl, leads to a significant increase in viscosity. Moreover, the composition is stable over time. Since the composition according to the invention is intended for topical application, it contains a physiologically acceptable medium, that is to say compatible with the skin, the mucous membranes, the hair and the scalp.

According to a particular embodiment, the additional surfactant or surfactants are foaming.

Foaming surfactants are detergents and are distinguished from emulsifying surfactants by the value of their HLB (Hydrophilic Lipophilic Balance), the HLB being the ratio between the hydrophilic part and the lipophilic part in the molecule. The term HLB is well known to those skilled in the art and is described, for example, in "The HLB system, A time-saving guide to Emulsifier Selection" (published by ICI Americas Inc., 1984).

For emulsifying surfactants, the HLB generally ranges from 3 to 8 for the preparation of water-in-oil (W / O) emulsions and from 8 to 18 for the preparation of oil-in-water (O / W) emulsions, while foaming surfactants generally have an HLB greater than 18 and more preferably greater than 20.

The sodium chloride is then added and the pH is adjusted.

The Ford cut viscosity (diameter 4 mm or 6 mm) of each composition is measured 24h after manufacture; this method consists in measuring, at a determined temperature, the flow time of 90 g of product through an orifice of a determined diameter. The result is expressed in seconds.

The volume of the composition sample is at least 150 ml, the product introduced into the cup being of homogeneous appearance and not ventilated. The sample is thermostated at 25 ° C ± 0.5 ° C before characterization. These results show that the compositions B and C according to the invention are more stable and have a better quality of foam (quantity and quality) than the compositions not forming part of the invention, in particular the composition A which does not contain surfactant chosen from sulphonated fatty acids and sulphonated fatty acid esters, composition D whose ratio of anionic surfactants chosen from sulphosuccinates to all the surfactants present in the composition is not greater than 1/6, and the composition E which does not contain anionic surfactant chosen from sulphosuccinates.
