Description

The present invention relates to a composition, in particular a cosmetic composition, intended for the coating of nails, in particular nail makeup. It also relates to a set of packaging and application a felt tip applicator, including a pen, containing said composition. It relates to a process for coating keratin materials, in particular nail makeup. In particular, the composition is a nail polish, preferably an aqueous continuous phase.

Conventionally, the makeup and / or care of the nails or false nails is achieved using a nail polish composition applied by means of a brush. At present, most of the compositions in the form of nail polish are based on a mixture of organic solvents containing nitrocellulose, an arylsulfonamide formaldehyde resin or an alkyd resin and a plasticizer. Such varnishes, because of the presence of organic solvents, have a number of disadvantages mainly related to the use of solvent and which, in particular, very often generate, when applied an uncomfortable odor. In recent years, research has therefore focused on the development of nail polishes free of organic solvents and in particular aqueous varnish. Such aqueous varnishes have been used in application devices other than brushes. For example, FR 2,537,871 discloses a water-based, completely pigment-free, low viscosity, nail polish containing dyes such as acidic organic dyes, which can be adapted for application by means of a device with an application wick. However, this type of varnish has the disadvantage of impregnating the nails, making makeup difficult, which is not desirable. In addition, such makeup can be excessively transparent and lack of coverage. Thus, a solution to overcome these problems is to implement high viscosity compositions capable of limiting the sedimentation of dyestuffs, in particular pigments. However, some packaging and application systems, such as felt tip type applicators are then unsuitable for such cosmetic compositions too viscous. Indeed, such compositions intended to evolve from the reservoir to the applicator tip tip by capillarity can not pass through this felt, or hardly, leading then to an uneven and irregular flow of applied composition. To circumvent this problem, conventional nail felts generally use a valve system inside the pen to deliver the product on demand at the push of a button or by pushing the felt tip into the body of the pen. In particular, US 4,712,571 discloses this type of device. However, the cost of such a device is generally important. In addition, the application of the cosmetic composition may give rise to an inhomogeneous deposit and to a risk of varnish running on the edge of the nail due to the application of too much varnish on the nail. EP2109481 discloses a felt tip applicator, and an aqueous continuous phase nail polish composition comprising a particulate phase comprising at least two film-forming polymers and a dispersing agent. However, the compositions used may give rise to a lack of opacity.

In view of the compositions and applicators of the prior art, the balance between homogeneity of the deposit, opacity, coverage, stability is difficult to develop to obtain a satisfactory solution on at least one of these points, worse on the together these points. The present invention therefore aims at a composition solving at least one of the aforementioned problems. In particular an object of the present invention is to provide a composition of good opacity. An object of the present invention is still to provide a composition of good coverage.

An object of the present invention is also to provide a stable composition over time, especially at 45 ° C for 30 days. An object of the present invention is to provide a composition for obtaining on the nail a smooth and regular deposit. An object of the present invention is still to provide a composition of good behavior over time on the nails. An object of the present invention is still to provide a composition of good gloss on the nails. Another object of the present invention is to provide a composition whose drying time is improved.

An object of the present invention is to provide a composition capable of being dispensed through a felt applicator, in particular reducing or even avoiding sedimentation problems, in particular problems of sedimentation of dyestuffs, and in particular of pigments.

The present invention thus relates, according to a first aspect, to a coating composition for a nail, in particular a make-up or care nail, comprising: an aqueous continuous phase, a particulate phase comprising: i) at least one film-forming polymer in the form of particles in aqueous dispersion, ii) at least one hollow charge, - at least one polymeric dispersing agent capable of dispersing the particulate phase in the aqueous phase.

The present invention has a low sedimentation of particles and a satisfactory aesthetic rendering, especially in terms of opacity, and preferably also in terms of coverage. Indeed, the present invention makes it possible to have a colored, stable composition, with opacity, without the addition of inorganic pigment (s), such as metal oxide, in particular titanium dioxide or of iron oxides, as is the case in conventional varnish compositions. The inventors have noticed that the addition of titanium dioxide or iron oxides can lead to an evolution of the hue in the felt, and they think because of the high density of these covering pigments. In addition, the use of heavy pigments in a felt has the disadvantage of not being able to easily redisperse the pigments that have sedimented, particularly by stirring, contrary to the present invention which limits the sedimentation phenomena. In addition, the present invention allows a coating of the nails, in particular makeup and / or nail care, easy, accurate and fast while obtaining a film of varnish with good coverage. In addition, the film obtained has a good homogeneity, in particular the color generated is uniform and the resulting film is uniform, smooth and regular. In addition, such a device makes it possible to make invisible alterations to the naked eye, making it possible to maintain the quality of makeup over time.

This composition, preferably of low viscosity, is advantageously introduced into a felt tip applicator, in particular a felt tip pen, without valve, capable of delivering the varnish by capillarity on the nails in a smooth and regular manner.

The amount of dry extract (abbreviated as ES) of a composition according to the invention is measured by means of a commercial halogen desiccant "HALOGEN MOISTURE ANALYZER HR 73" from METTLER TOLEDO. The measurement is based on the weight loss of a sample dried by halogen heating and thus represents the percentage of residual material once the volatiles have evaporated. The measurement protocol is as follows: about 2 g of the composition, hereinafter the sample, is spread on a metal cup. The metal cup is then introduced into the halogen desiccant mentioned above. The sample is then subjected to a temperature of 105 ° C until a constant weight is obtained. The wet mass of the sample, corresponding to its initial mass before crosslinking, and the dry mass of the sample, corresponding to its mass after crosslinking and halogen heating, are measured by means of a precision balance. The experimental error related to the measurement is of the order of plus or minus 2%.

These techniques make it possible to measure a particle diameter and, for some of them, a particle size distribution. Preferably, the sizes and particle size distributions of the compositions according to the invention are measured by static light scattering by means of a commercial Master Sizer 2000 type granulometer from Malvern. The data is processed on the basis of Mie scattering theory. This theory, which is accurate for isotropic particles, makes it possible to determine, in the case of non-spherical particles, an "effective" diameter of particles.

PACKAGING AND APPLICATION ASSEMBLY A composition in accordance with the invention is advantageously packaged in an applicator forming a packaging system and an application device. According to a preferred embodiment, this applicator is of the felt-tip applicator type, more particularly felt-tip pen. Felt tip applicator The term "felt tip" refers to a tip of felt or synthetic fibers. For the purposes of the present invention, the term "felt-tip pen" designates a gripping instrument consisting of a tube terminating in a point and containing a reserve of a liquid pouring through the tip as soon as it is applied on a support. A "felt tip applicator" or "felt tip pen" is distinct from a ball pen or any simple bristle device used for the application of conventional nail polish compositions.

Figure 1 shows schematically, in elevation, an example of an applicator pen suitable for the application of the composition. Figure 2 is a longitudinal section along II-II of Figure 1, according to a first embodiment. Figure 3 is a longitudinal section along II-II of Figure 1, according to a second embodiment. In general, the applicator 1 comprises a body 2 of elongate shape along a longitudinal axis X, provided at one end with an applicator element 3, 3 'and possibly at a second end opposite the first end of a closure element which is in the example illustrated in the form of a cap which can be fixed on the body 2, for example by snapping in order to obtain a sealed closure of the applicator in the absence of use. The body 2 is closed at the opposite end to the application element 3 by a bottom 5 which is for example snapped or frictionally held in the body 2. The wall of the body 2 may be substantially non-deformable, the transfer of the composition on the region to be treated is performed by capillarity maintaining the balance of pressures between the reservoir and the external environment. Alternatively, a vent port may be provided in the body 2 of the applicator to restore the internal pressure of the device after dispensing the composition through the applicator member 3 '. In the example considered, the application element 3 is axially fixed relative to the body 2 during the application. The application element 3 can be given various shapes. In the illustrated example, the tip of the application element 3 is wedge-shaped, when viewed from the side in the direction of the arrows II of FIG. 1, but it could be given to the tip of the application element of FIG. other forms for example conical, frustoconical, two-pointed, with cut sides, concave edges or other. The application element 3 can also be covered with fibers on its surface, for example by flocking. The wall of the body 2 could be made if necessary in a softer material so as to allow the user to create an overpressure inside the tank to increase the flow rate of the composition to the application for example.

According to a first exemplary embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2, the body 2 contains a composition P which impregnates a block 7 made of a porous material, for example wadding, which may optionally be surrounded by a sheath 8 whose diameter external part substantially corresponds to the internal diameter of the body 2. Such a block 7 is thus made of a hydrophilic material capable of impregnating a composition according to the invention. This block may, if necessary, let air pass so as to regulate the pressure differences between the inside and the outside of the tank, in particular following a distribution of composition by the application element 3. In the example illustrated, the block 7 occupies most of the height of the applicator 1 and bears at one end against the bottom 5, so that the block 7 forms the reservoir of composition P. The transport of the composition to the application element 3 is then carried out by capillarity. In the illustrated example, a wick 10 is applied at a first end against the block 7 and at a second opposite end against the application element 3. The wick 10 is thus ensures a fluid communication between the block 7 and the 3. The wick 10, as well as the application element 3, are advantageously engaged in a chimney 12 which, in the example in question, is made in one piece with the body 2 by molding of thermoplastic material.

In this embodiment, the applicator element 3, as well as the wick 10, are produced independently of one another, in any material allowing the composition to be transported by capillarity, in particular any compressed fiber material, porous composite, foam, cellulose, sintered mineral or plastic, for example sintered elastomeric beads. Preferably, the application element 3 and the wick 10 are made of the same material, in particular compressed fibers. One method of manufacturing such an applicator member and wick is, for example, to gather polyester-type synthetic fibers by adjusting the tension and subjecting them to hot compression molding in a cylindrical mold. The cylindrical bundle of fibers formed, with the required cross section, preferably circular, is introduced through an orifice into a resin bath in solution and passed through the resin in solution. The cylindrical fiber bundle impregnated with the resin in solution is passed through a heating oven to remove the solvent and cure the resin. The cylindrical bundle of fibers is then cut to the corresponding length. To form a tip, the cut pieces are ground at one end and tapered at a point. The resins used to bond the fiber bundle include thermosetting resins such as unsaturated polyesters, urea formaldehyde, phenol, epoxy, melamine, polyurethane resins, and thermoplastic resins such as polyvinyl acetates, polyolefins and low-density polyesters. Fusion point. Preferably, the synthetic resin used to bind the polyester fibers is a polyurethane type resin. In this embodiment, the wick 10 may for example have a height, in the axis of elongation of the device, ranging from 5 to 20 mm, in particular from 15 to 20 mm, especially for a cross section having a diameter in its widest part of 2 to 8mm, especially 4 to 6mm. In this embodiment, the applicator element 3 ending in felt tip may for example have a height, in the axis of elongation of the device, ranging from 10 to 30 mm, in particular from 15 to 20 mm, in particular for a cross section having a diameter in its widest part of 2 to 8mm, especially 4 to 6mm. According to a second embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3, the wick 10 and the application element 3 are made in one piece forming a plunging application element 3 ', having a first end in contact with a reservoir of composition P, extending between a block 7 'impermeable to the composition P, and the bottom 5, and a second end opposite the first end forming the applicator end. Thus, a space extends between the block 7 'and the bottom 5 to accommodate the composition P in the free state, intended to pass through the application member 3'. As a result, the composition P to be dispensed is not trapped in a composition retention block in this embodiment. Indeed, this second embodiment provides a hydrophobic block 7 '. Such a block is thus incapable of impregnating composition P which will remain in the free state in the reservoir. However, this block may optionally pass air so as to regulate the pressure differences between the inside and the outside of the tank in particular following a composition distribution by the application element 3 '.

This second embodiment also preferably comprises, in the composition tank P, a ball 9 able to be displaced by agitation, for example manual, of the packaging and application system, and this in order to facilitate the (re) dispersion of the pigment (s) and / or avoid sedimentation of pigment (s). In this embodiment, the application element 3 'may for example have a height in the axis of elongation of the device ranging from 40 to 100 mm, in particular from 45 to 65 mm, in particular for a cross section having a diameter in its widest part of 2 to 8mm, especially 4 to 6mm. In this embodiment, the application element 3 'is made of at least one material allowing the composition to be transported by capillarity, in particular any material made of compressed fibers, of porous composite, of foam, of cellulose, of sintered mineral or plastic material, for example sintered elastomer balls. Preferably, the application element 3 'is made of compressed fibers, in particular compressed polyester fibers, advantageously according to the same method of manufacture as previously described with reference to the first embodiment.

In another variant of this second embodiment, block 7 is absent. Preferably, in the context of the present invention, the application element 3, 3 'remains in permanent fluid communication with the composition contained in the reservoir.

More preferably, the applicator according to the present invention is devoid of valve, in particular between the reservoir and the applicator element 3, 3 '. Finally, preferably, the applicator according to the present invention does not require any pressure on the body 2 to promote the flow of the composition through the application element 3, 3 '.

In order to use the applicator, the user grasps the body 2 in the manner of a pen and can bring the tip of the applicator element into contact with the nail, in particular from the inside edge to the outer edge of the pen. nail.

A felt tip applicator according to the invention is advantageously such that the average rate of capillary rise of the composition is greater than or equal to 0.50 mm / s, preferably greater than or equal to 0.60 mm / s, preferably ranges from 0.70 mm / s to 5 mm / s, better from 0.75 mm / s to 2 mm / s. The method used to determine the capillary rise speed through the application element (in particular the wick) is the following: - Use an application element 3, 3 'preferably with a maximum height of 12.5 mm and preferably a regular geometry, otherwise cut the mine to meet its requirements, - Put 4 ml of a composition according to the invention in a cylindrical glass container having a diameter of 45 mm, - Remove the application element 3, 3 'at the center of the cylinder perpendicular to the support and start the timer, - Measure the time so that the entire top of the application element 3, 3' is wet, and - Divide the height of the applicator element 3, 3 'by the capillary rise time to calculate the capillary rise rate through the applicator element 3, 3'. An application element 3, 3 'according to the invention has a free volume percentage ranging from 50 to 80, more particularly from 55 to 75.

The method used to determine the percentage of free volume of the application element 3, 3 '(in particular the wick) is as follows: 1- Calculate the volume of the application element based on the dimensions of the applicator element, since preferably the applicator element is of cylindrical shape (for example: Vmeche = TT r2 h), 2 Weigh the mass of the applicator element 3, 3 'empty , 3- Place the application element 3, 3 'in the distilled water until the wick is filled, 4- Remove the excess water quickly and weigh the filled application element 3, 3' of water, 5- Calculate the mass of water absorbed by the wick corresponding to the mass of the filled filling element 3, 3 ', minus the mass of the empty wick, 6- Calculate the volume of water absorbed corresponding to the mass of water absorbed by the application element 3, 3 ', divided by the density of the water, and 7- Calculate the percentage of free volume of the element 3, 3 'corresponding to the volume of water absorbed multiplied by 100, divided by the volume of the application element 3, 3'.

According to a preferred embodiment, an application element of the felt tip type according to the invention has the following characteristics: a capillary rise speed (mm / sec): 0.75 mm / sec to 1.5 mm / sec - A percentage of free volume ranging from 55 to 75, and - is made of polyester fibers having a cross section relative to an axis of elongation of said wick from 40 to 50pm.
