Description

COSMETIC COMPOSITION PROVIDING UNIQUE SENSATIONS

Domain of disclosure

The present disclosure relates to cosmetic compositions providing a unique sensory experience. Additionally, aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods of treating damaged skin with cosmetic compositions.

Context of the disclosure

The skin acts as a natural barrier between internal and external environments and therefore plays an important role in vital biological functions such as protection against mechanical and chemical injury, microorganisms, and ultraviolet damage. The health and appearance of the skin can therefore deteriorate due to environmental factors, genetic make-up, nutrition, and sun exposure.

Environmental pollution conditions are rapidly deteriorating and appear more and more in the daily lives of consumers around the world. Pollution damage to human skin is also increasingly evident. Human skin is also subjected to a variety of attacks by extrinsic factors such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation, environmental pollution, wind, heat, infrared radiation, low humidity, aggressive surfactants, abrasives, etc Recent studies suggest that in addition to UV radiation, other environmental factors contribute to the development of senile lentigo, especially air pollution. Eventually, these factors lead to visible signs of damage to the skin including small brown spots on the skin, especially in the elderly.

Typical skin damage includes fine lines, wrinkle formation, hyperpigmentation, sallowness, sagging, dark bags under the eyes, puffy eyes, enlarged pores, visible dead skin i.e. peeling, flaking, dryness, and roughness. Consumers want to slow the progression of skin damage and reduce the effects of aging, especially on the face and around the eyes. Radiant, clear skin looks youthful and is a sign of good health and vitality.

Consequently, there is a constant need for new and improved formulations that improve the health and visual appearance of the skin.

Disclosure Summary

The present disclosure relates to cosmetic compositions providing a unique sensory experience. For example, cosmetic compositions typically have a structure that provides the visual appearance of a cream before and/or upon application of the cosmetic composition to a user's skin. As the user applies (eg, by rubbing, spreading, and/or massaging) the cosmetic composition onto the skin, the cosmetic composition has a tactile feel of a serum. The composition subsequently undergoes thixotropy and provides a creamy tactile sensation.

The cosmetic compositions of the present disclosure typically include:

(a) about 0.1 to about 10% by weight of a nonionic emulsifier, the nonionic emulsifier comprising polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate;

D detailed description of the disclosure

The present disclosure relates to cosmetic compositions providing a unique sensory experience. The inventors have discovered that specific ingredients in certain combinations and amounts result in cosmetic compositions displaying a unique sensory experience. The cosmetic compositions of the present disclosure typically include:

(a) about 0.5 to about 3% by weight of a nonionic emulsifier, the nonionic emulsifier comprising polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate;

(b) about 0.6 to about 3% by weight sodium polyacrylate;

(c) about 0.1 to about 3% by weight matting agent;

(d) about 0.1 to about 20% by weight of a fat phase which is liquid at a temperature of 25°C or more, wherein the fat phase comprises one or more fatty compounds; And

(e) water,

wherein the cosmetic composition is an oil-in-water emulsion, and all weight percentages are based on the total weight of the cosmetic composition.

Cosmetic compositions typically have a structure that provides the visual appearance of a cream before and after application of the cosmetic composition to a user's skin. As the user actively applies (eg, by rubbing, spreading, and/or massaging) the cosmetic composition onto the user's skin, the shear stress produced by the active application of the cosmetic composition reduces the viscosity of the cosmetic composition to the extent that the cosmetic composition provides the tactile sensation of a serum. In some cases, the cosmetic composition is formulated so that the viscosity of the composition decreases by about 30% or more, for example, by about 35% or more, by about 40% or more, by about 45% or more, about 50% or more, about 55% or more, about 60% or more, about 65% or more, about 70% or more, about 75% or more, about 80% or more, about 85% or more, about 90% or more, about 95% or more, or about 99% or more under a shear stress of 10 ² /s at 10 ³ /s (for example, 10 ^2.25 /s, 10 ^2.5 /s, or 10 ^2.75 /s).

In addition, the cosmetic composition may have a complex modulus (G*) at 0.1% stress of about 100 Pa or more, about 150 Pa or more, about 200 Pa or more, about 300 Pa or more, about 350 Pa or more, about 400 Pa or more, about 450 Pa or more, about 500 Pa or more, about 550 Pa or more and/or about 1000 Pa or less, about 950 Pa or less, about 900 Pa or less, about 850 Pa or less, about 800 Pa or less, about 750 Pa or less, about 700 Pa or less, about 650 Pa or less, about 600 Pa or less, or about 550 Pa or less and a phase angle between about 8° and about 17°, between about 10° and about 15°, or between about 11° and about 14° before application of the cosmetic composition. Additionally or alternatively, the phase angle may be about 45° or less, about 40° or less, about 35° or less, about 30° or less, about 25° or less, about 20° or less , about 15° or less, about 10° or less, about 5° or less.

Preferably, the cosmetic composition has a thixotropy. For example, the cosmetic composition can undergo thixotropy and have a dynamic viscosity of 5,000 Pa/s up to 100,000 Pa/s. In some cases, the dynamic viscosity can be 10,000 Pa/s up to 100,000 Pa/s, 20,000 Pa/s up to 100,000 Pa/s, 30,000 Pa/s up to 100,000 Pa/ s, 40,000 Pa/s up to 100,000 Pa/s, 50,000 Pa/s up to 100,000 Pa/s, 60,000 Pa/s up to 100,000 Pa/s, 70,000 Pa/s up to at 100,000 Pa/s, or 90,000 Pa/s up to 100,000 Pa/s, or any range or sub-range therebetween. In some cases, the cosmetic composition provides an extended amount of action time. The action time can, in certain cases, be determined according to the duration taken by the cosmetic composition or one or more ingredients of the cosmetic composition to be absorbed. In some cases, the cosmetic composition has an action time of about 5 seconds or more, about 10 seconds or more, about 20 seconds or more, about 30 seconds or more, about 40 seconds or more, about 50 seconds or more , or about 60 seconds.

At the end of the action time, the cosmetic composition then provides a tactile feeling of post-absorption cream. Preferably, the cosmetic composition has a coefficient of friction of 0.3 or less at 10 mm/s. For example, the cosmetic composition can have a coefficient of friction of about 0.6 or less, about 0.5 or less, about 0.4 or less, about 0.3 or less, about 0.28 or less, about 0.26 or less, about 0.24 or less, about 0.22 or less, about 0.2 or less, about 0.18 or less, about 0.16 or less, about 0.14 or less, or about 0.12 or less at a speed of 10 mm/s. The coefficient of friction may also be about 0.02 or more, preferably about 0.04 or more, preferably about 0.06 or more, preferably about 0.08 or more, or preferably about 0.1 or more at a speed of 10 mm/s.

The cosmetic composition is generally formulated as an emulsion. Typically, cosmetic compositions are formulated to be oil-in-water emulsions, the fatty phase being emulsified in the hydrophilic phase. However, in some cases, cosmetic compositions can be formulated to have a hydrophilic phase (eg, alcohols, glycols, polyols, etc.) emulsified in the fatty phase. The cosmetic composition can be formulated, in some cases, to be lotions, serums, creams, sprays or any other suitable product form.

Additionally, the present disclosure relates to methods of treating the skin which include applying the cosmetic composition of the present disclosure to the skin. The cosmetic compositions may also be useful in methods of treating and/or repairing damage to skin due to photoaging, and diminishing the appearance of wrinkles, dark spots, and uneven skin texture . The aforementioned methods may be non-therapeutic.

Suitable components, such as those listed below, may be included or excluded from formulations for the cosmetic compositions depending on the specific combination of other components, the form of the cosmetic compositions, and/or the use of the formulation (e.g. , lotion, serum, gel, cream, spray, etc.).

Non-ionic emulsifier(s)

The cosmetic composition typically includes one or more nonionic emulsifier(s), such as polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate. The amount of nonionic emulsifier in the cosmetic composition can vary, but is typically in an amount of about 0.1 to about 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the cosmetic composition. For example, the amount of nonionic emulsifier in the cosmetic composition can be about 0.1 to about 10% by weight, about 0.1 to about 8% by weight, about 0.1 to about 6% by weight , about 0.1 to about 5% by weight, about 0.1 to about 4% by weight, about 0.1 to about 3% by weight, about 0.1 to about 2% by weight, about 0.1 to about 1% by weight; about 0.25 to about 10% by weight, about 0.25 to about 8% by weight, about 0.25 to about 6% by weight, about 0.25 to about 5% by weight, about 0.25 to about 4% by weight, about 0.25 to about 3% by weight, about 0.25 to about 2% by weight, about 0.25 to about 1% by weight; about 0.5 to about 10% by weight, about 0.5 to about 8% by weight, about 0.5 to about 6% by weight, about 0.5 to about 5% by weight, about 0.5 to about 4% by weight, about 0.5 to about 3% by weight, about 0.5 to about 2% by weight, about 0.5 to about 1% by weight; about 0.75 to about 10% by weight, about 0.75 to about 8% by weight, about 0.75 to about 6% by weight, about 0.75 to about 5% by weight, about 0.75 to about 4% by weight, about 0.75 to about 3% by weight, about 0.75 to about 2% by weight; about 1 to about 10% by weight, about 1 to about 8% by weight, about 1 to about 6% by weight, about 1 to about 5% by weight, about 1 to about 4% by weight, about 1 to about 3 % by weight, or about 1 to about 2% by weight, inclusive of all ranges and subranges included, based on the total weight of the cosmetic composition.

The nonionic emulsifier may consist of polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate, such that the quantity of polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate is the total quantity of nonionic emulsifier in the cosmetic composition. Thus, polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate may be present in the cosmetic composition in any of the quantities listed above relating to the nonionic emulsifier. In some cases, however, the cosmetic composition includes one or more nonionic emulsifiers in addition to polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate.

Emulsifiers are typically used to incorporate oily and/or fatty compounds into a hydrophilic medium, such as an aqueous medium, to form oil-in-water emulsions. In some cases, however, emulsifiers can be used to incorporate a hydrophilic phase (e.g. an aqueous medium) into an oily or fatty phase to form a water-in-oil emulsion. The cosmetic compositions include one or more nonionic emulsifiers. Additional emulsifiers may, however, also be included (or excluded), such as amphoteric, anionic, and/or cationic emulsifiers.

For O/W emulsions, examples of emulsifiers which may be mentioned include nonionic emulsifiers such as oxyalkylenated (more particularly polyoxyethylene) fatty acid esters of glycerol; oxyalkylenated fatty acid esters of sorbitan; oxyalkylenated (oxyethylenated and/or oxypropylene) fatty acid esters; oxyalkylenated (oxyethylenated and/or oxypropylene) fatty alcohol ethers; sugar esters such as sucrose stearate; and their mixtures. A more comprehensive but non-limiting list of useful nonionic emulsifiers is provided later under the heading "nonionic emulsifiers".

In some cases, cosmetic compositions containing natural oils include two or more nonionic emulsifiers. In particular, one or more nonionic emulsifiers having an HLB of 10 or more and one or more nonionic emulsifiers having an HLB of 5 or less. The total amount of these emulsifiers can be such that the final HLB of the hair treatment composition is within +/- 0.5 of the HLB of the natural oil in the cosmetic composition. This typically results in a final HLB of the emulsified natural oil in the hair treatment composition ranging from about 6 to about 8.

Examples of emulsifiers which may be mentioned include nonionic emulsifiers such as oxyalkylenated (more particularly polyoxyethylene) fatty acid esters of glycerol; oxyalkylenated fatty acid esters of sorbitan; oxyalkylenated (oxyethylenated and/or oxypropylene) fatty acid esters; oxyalkylenated (oxyethylenated and/or oxypropylene) fatty alcohol ethers; sugar esters such as sucrose stearate; and their mixtures.

Non-limiting examples of nonionic emulsifiers include polyglyceryl emulsifiers, polyol esters, glycerol ethers, oxyethylene ethers, oxypropylene ethers, ethylene glycol polymers, sorbitan esters, polysorbate, and mixtures thereof. In certain cases, the one or more nonionic emulsifiers are chosen from polyglyceryl-10 stearate, polyglyceryl-3 caprate, polyglyceryl-3 diisostearate, polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate, or mixtures thereof. In at least one instance, in addition to polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate, the cosmetic composition may additionally include at least one of polyglyceryl 10 stearate, polyglyceryl-3 caprate, polyglyceryl-3 diisostearate, or polysorbate 20.

Sodium polyacrylate(s)

Mattifying agents (also referred to as "mattifying fillers") refer to a material which gives the complexion more transparency and a veiled effect and provides the skin with a natural and desirable appearance, without imparting a greasy, sparkling and shiny appearance. For this, these materials are often absorbent fillers such as talc, silica, kaolin or fillers having optical properties of light scattering, which properties are known as the "artistic blur" effect. In addition to reducing shine or oiliness, matting agents can contribute to the overall texture and thickness of a cosmetic composition. Mattifying agents are often (but not always) particulate matter or powders.

Cosmetic compositions containing matting agents can be characterized using the following protocol. The test composition is spread at a rate of 2 mg/cm ² on a contrast card (Prufkarte 24/5-250 cm ² type sold by the company Erichsen) using a mechanical film spreader. The composition is then dried overnight at a temperature of 37° C. before measuring its reflection using a gonioreflectometer sold by the company Micromodule. The intensity specularly reflected at 30° (R) and scattered at 90° (D) is measured successively. The result obtained is the ratio R between the specular reflection and the diffuse reflection. The value of R is proportionally smaller the greater the matting effect authorized by the filler. An R value of 2 or less generally indicates a mattifying effect. Mattifying agents according to the present disclosure include those which, preferably at a content of 5% in a cosmetic composition, give an R value of less than 1.5 and preferably less than 1.

Suitable matting agents include, but are not limited to, the following: starch aluminum octenylsuccinate, cross-linked polymers of methyl methacrylate, polymethylsilsesquioxane, cellulose, and silica silylate.

Rautureau, ^2nd edition 1982, Masson, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Natural clay is a sedimentary rock composed largely of specific minerals, silicates, generally aluminum. Kaolin is a natural clay. Clays can also be synthetic. Clays can also be chemically modified by various compounds, such as acrylic acids, polysaccharides (eg carboxymethylcellulose) or organic cations.

These compounds can be isolated from natural sources, prepared by synthetic means, or mixtures thereof. Tocotrienol-enriched vitamin E preparations can be obtained by fractionating vitamin E preparations to remove a portion of tocopherols and recover a more highly concentrated tocotrienol preparation. Useful tocotrienols are natural products isolated, for example, from wheat germ oil, cereal oil, or palm oil using high performance liquid chromatography, or isolated by alcohol extraction and/or molecular distillation at from barley, spent grains or oats. As used herein, the term "tocotrienols" includes tocotrienol-rich fractions obtained from these natural products as well as pure compounds. The increased activity of glutathione peroxidase protects the skin against oxidative damage.

In addition, carotenoids, particularly of the xanthophyll type, are also useful antioxidants that can be used.

Production processes

The present disclosure also relates to methods or processes for making/manufacturing the cosmetic compositions described herein. It also includes the products prepared by these methods or processes.

A process for making certain embodiments of the cosmetic composition includes forming an oil phase and forming a separate aqueous (water-containing) phase, the two phases being heated and combined hot. Each phase can be heated to the same temperature or each of them can be heated to different temperatures.

Thickening agents can be added to the aqueous phase of cosmetic compositions. In some cases, however, the one or more emulsifiers and/or thickening agents are added to the oil phase. Additionally or alternatively, thickening agents can be added post-emulsification — for example, ammonium polyacryloyldimethyl taurate can be added post-emulsification.

After combining the oil phase and the aqueous phase to form an emulsion, the composition is typically allowed to cool. Additional components can be added during the emulsification period or afterwards. For example, certain perfumes, coloring agents, exfoliants, active ingredients, etc., can be added to the aqueous phase, to the fatty phase, or after emulsification.

Methods of use

The present disclosure also relates to methods of using the cosmetic compositions described herein. For example, the cosmetic compositions can be used in a method that includes applying the cosmetic compositions to the skin of humans. In some cases, the composition is applied to the face. Additionally, the cosmetic composition can be used in methods of treating and/or repairing damage to the skin (eg, damage due to photoaging), and to diminish the appearance of wrinkles, dark spots, and uneven texture skin. The aforementioned methods are non-therapeutic.

The cosmetic composition can be applied once a day, twice a day, or more than once or twice a day. In some cases, the composition is applied in the evening before bedtime. In other cases, the compositions are applied in the morning. In still other cases, the composition can be applied immediately after washing the skin. The compositions can be used once, or for a series of days, weeks, or months. For example, the compositions can be used daily for a period of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or more weeks, or months.

The flow behavior was studied using rheology. Viscoelastic and flow measurements were performed with a DHR-2 rheometer (TA Instruments, New Castle, Delaware, USA) at 32°C (skin temperature).

A parallel plate with a hatched surface (diameter = 40 mm) was used in these rheology measurements.

For the viscoelastic measurements, the force sweep was performed from 0.01% to 1000% force at a fixed frequency ω = 1 rad/s.

The complex modulus G* and the phase angle δ are defined as follows:

``` (4)

where G' and G''' are the retention and loss moduli, respectively.

When < 1 or phase angle δ< 45°, the system is elastic, and

when > 1 or phase angle δ > 45°, the system is viscous.

Rheological tests were performed on Example Compositions A and B to determine whether Example Compositions A and B exhibit a serum-like consistency with cream-like elasticity under small strain. From Figure 1, Example Composition A displayed the appearance of a cream before receiving shear stress.

Example 3

Example Composition A was judged to determine the flowability of the composition under application by a user. The shear viscosity of serum samples was performed at a shear rate ranging from 0.001 (1/s) to 1000 (1/s) for 5 minutes. The high shear in viscosity demonstrates that composition A has the fluidity of a serum while maintaining the action time of a cream.

Example 4

To evaluate the time-dependent flow behavior of Example Compositions A and B during application, strain was performed on a sample of Example Compositions A and B to which the stress versus range was measured. shear rate from bottom to top (0.001 to 1000 1/s) and from top to bottom (1000 to 0.001 1/s) for 2 min/each direction. Thixotropy is indicated by the hysteresis loop which measures the time dependent recovery of the serum formulation after it has been shear thinned. Example Compositions A and B were determined to exhibit thixotropy.

Example 5

The coefficient of friction µ was determined from a tribology experiment, which would describe these sensations and textures. Tribology was performed with the rheometer described here using the ring accessory. A sample of Example Compositions A and B was applied to the biological skin, and the friction of the sample was measured in a rotational speed range (see, for example, Figure 5). Figure 4 shows the selective coefficient of friction µ at 3 rotational speeds of 10 mm/s, 100 mm/s and 1000 mm/s for serum ex 1A and serum and cream from comparative ex. Based on tribology, it is anticipated that a user may experience slip, stick, and absorbency attributes associated with the cosmetic composition during application of such composition. After application of the cosmetic product, the sensory feelings and texture of the deposit are expected to change due to product drying.

As used herein, all ranges provided are understood to include each specific range within the given ranges, and a combination of subranges between them. Thus, a range of 1 to 5, specifically includes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, as well as subranges such as 2 to 5, 3 to 5, 2 to 3, 2 to 4, 1 to 4, etc. .

All components and elements positively presented in the present disclosure can be negatively excluded from the claims. In other words, the cosmetic compositions of this disclosure may be free or substantially free of all components and elements positively cited throughout this disclosure.

In some instances, the cosmetic compositions of the present disclosure may be substantially free of non-incidental amounts of the ingredient(s) or compound(s) described herein. A non-accessory quantity of an ingredient or compound is the quantity of this ingredient or compound which is added to the cosmetic composition itself. For example, a cosmetic composition may be substantially free of a non-incidental amount of an ingredient or compound, although such ingredient(s) or compound(s) may be present as part of a raw material which is included as a mixture of two or more compounds.

Some of the various component categories identified may overlap. In such cases where an overlap may exist and the composition includes both components (or the composition includes more than two overlapping components), an overlapping compound does not represent more than one component. For example, tocopherol can be characterized as both a skin active agent and a preservative. If a particular composition includes both a skin active agent and a preservative, tocopherol will serve only as a skin active agent or only as a preservative (tocopherol does not serve as both a skin active agent and a preservative). conservative).

Throughout the disclosure, the phrase "a mixture thereof" is used, following a list of items as shown in the following example where the letters A through F represent the items: "one or more than one member selected from the group consisting of A, B, C, D, E, F, and a mixture thereof”. The term "a mixture of them" does not require that the mixture include all of A, B, C, D, E, and F (although all of A, B, C, D, E, and F may be included). Rather, it indicates that a mixture of any two or more of A, B, C, D, E, and F may be included. In other words, it is equivalent to the phrase "one or more items selected from the group consisting of A, B, C, D, E, F, and a mixture of any two or more of A, B, C, D, E, and F”.

The term “one or more” means “at least one” and thus includes individual components as well as mixtures/combinations.
