Description

Cosmetic composition comprising a particular silicone emulsion, a particular cationic polymer, a particular anionic surfactant and an amphoteric surfactant

The present invention relates to a composition useful for cleaning and/or conditioning keratin fibers, and in particular human keratin fibers such as hair, which comprises a particular silicone emulsion, a particular cationic polymer, a particular anionic surfactant and a amphoteric surfactant.

The invention also relates to a cosmetic process for cleaning and/or conditioning keratin fibers using such a composition.

Finally, the invention relates to the use of such a composition for washing and/or conditioning keratin fibers, preferably hair.

It is common to use detergent cosmetic compositions such as shampoos and shower gels, primarily based on surfactants, to wash keratin materials, particularly hair and skin. These compositions are applied to the keratin materials, which are preferably wet, and the foam generated by massage or friction with the hands or a washcloth allows, after rinsing with water, to eliminate the various types of dirt initially present on hair or skin.

These compositions generally contain high levels of “detergent” surfactants, which, in order to be able to formulate cosmetic compositions with good detergent power, must in particular give them good foaming power.

The surfactants useful for this purpose are generally of the anionic, nonionic and/or amphoteric type, and in particular of the anionic type.

These compositions generally have good cleansing power, but the intrinsic cosmetic properties associated with them nevertheless remain quite poor, in particular due to the fact that the relatively aggressive nature of such a cleaning treatment can, in the long term, lead to more or less damage. pronounced effects caused to the hair fiber, this damage being associated in particular with the progressive elimination of lipids or proteins contained in or on the surface of this fiber.

Thus, in order to improve the cosmetic properties of the detergent compositions above, and more particularly those which must be applied to sensitized hair (that is to say hair which has been damaged or weakened, in particular under the chemical action of atmospheric agents and/or hair treatments such as permanent waving, dyeing or bleaching), it is now common to introduce additional cosmetic agents called conditioners into these compositions. These conditioners are mainly intended to repair or limit the harmful or undesirable effects induced by the various treatments or attacks to which the hair fibers are subjected more or less repeatedly. Of course, they can also improve the cosmetic behavior of natural hair.

The most commonly used conditioners in shampoos today include cationic polymers, silicones and/or silicone derivatives, which give washed, dry or wet hair ease of detangling, softness and smoothness that is noticeably better than those which can be obtained with corresponding cleaning compositions from which they are absent.

It is particularly known for using a mixture of silicone and cationic polymer. However, the compositions containing them still have many drawbacks, such as insufficient deposition of silicones on the hair, which considerably affects their cosmetic performance.

There is therefore a real need to propose compositions, such as compositions for cleaning and/or conditioning keratin fibers, and in particular human keratin fibers, making it possible to overcome the drawbacks described above, namely which effectively remove dirt and excess sebum and enhance the cosmetic properties of said fibers, such as softness, smoothness, manageability and detangling. These cosmetic properties can also be long-lasting.

In particular, the composition must provide satisfactory deposition of conditioning substances, such as silicones and/or cationic polymers, on the keratin fibers, thereby leading to an improved smooth coating of the fibers, and must improve hair detangling.

These objectives are achieved with the present invention, a subject of which is a cosmetic composition comprising:

a) an oil-in-water emulsion having a D50 particle size less than 350 nm and comprising:

- a silicone mixture comprising (i) a trialkylsilyl-terminated dialkylpolysiloxane having a viscosity of 40,000 to less than 100,000 mPa.s at 25°C and (ii) an amino silicone having a viscosity of 1,000 to 15,000 mPa. s at 25 °C and an amine number of 2 to 10 mg of KOH per gram of amino silicone,

- a mixture of emulsifiers comprising one or more nonionic emulsifiers, in which the mixture of emulsifiers has an HLB value of 10 to 16, and

- some water ;

b) one or more cationic guar polymers,

c) one or more anionic α-olefin sulfonate surfactants, and

d) one or more amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactants.

This composition, when applied to keratin fibers, in particular human keratin fibers such as hair and more particularly sensitized hair, leads to an improvement in the condition and quality of the hair, in terms of sensation. (eg: smooth touch, soft touch, conditioned touch) and ease of hair styling: hair has no or less frizz, has good styling/shaping ability, less flyaway and has desirable volume . Combing and detangling hair is easier.

In addition, the composition according to the invention makes it possible to significantly improve the deposition of silicone on the keratin fibers. This provides a superior smooth coating on the fibers, from roots to ends, with less dry ends.

Even more surprising, it was discovered that the deposition of silicones and/or cationic polymers on the hair is significantly higher with the composition according to the invention in comparison to a similar composition which does not include the particular combination disclosed here, especially the particular silicone emulsion.

The composition according to the invention has good detergent power.

When the composition contains foaming surfactants, when massaging on a wet substrate, it generates a rich and creamy foam, which is easy to spread over the fibers.

It was also noted that the hair treated with the composition according to the invention is particularly clean and light (no build-up).

The observed properties of the composition according to the invention are particularly durable.

The present invention also relates to a process for treating, in particular for washing and/or conditioning, keratin fibers, preferably human keratin fibers such as hair, comprising the application to keratin fibers of this composition.

Another subject of the invention is the use of the composition according to the invention for washing and/or conditioning keratin fibers, preferably hair.

The invention also relates to a cosmetic process for cleaning keratinous fibers, in particular human keratinous fibers such as hair, which consists of applying to said keratinous fibers a composition as defined above.

Other subjects, characteristics, aspects and advantages of the invention will appear even more clearly on reading the description and the example which follows.

As used herein, unless otherwise stated, the limits of a range of values are included within that range, particularly in the expressions "between...and..." and "from...to.." .

Furthermore, the expression “at least one” used in the present description is equivalent to the expression “one or more”.

Preferably, the composition according to the invention is free of sulfate, in particular free of sulfate anionic surfactants (that is to say free of anionic surfactants comprising at least one sulfate function but not comprising any carboxylate or sulfonate function).

For the purposes of the present invention, the term "free" refers to a composition which does not contain (0%) of said component or which contains less than 0.1% by weight of said component, relative to the total weight of the composition.

The D50 particle size can be measured using a ZetaSizer from Malvern, UK, model Nano-ZS, which is based on the photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS) method.

• Particle size measurement

Emulsion particle size can be measured using a ZetaSizer from Malvern, UK, model Nano-ZS, based on the photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS) method. The D50 value of the particle size (average hydrodynamic particle diameter) is measured, the evaluation algorithm being “cumulant analysis”.

For example, take 0.5 g of the emulsion sample into a 250 mL beaker, pour 100 mL of deionized water into it, and then mix them properly to obtain the sample test solution. The sample test solution is poured into the cuvette cell and placed in the slot of the instrument to measure the particle size of the emulsion. D50 is defined as the value of the particle diameter at 50% in the cumulative distribution. For example, if D50=170 nm, 50% of the particles in the sample are larger than 170 nm and 50% smaller than 170 nm or approximately 50% by volume of all droplets in said emulsion are 170 nm.

• Viscosity measurement

Viscosity, particularly of silicones or emulsion, is measured at 25°C and atmospheric pressure.

For viscosities between 1,000 and 40,000 mPa.s at 25°C: the viscosity can be measured using an Anton Paar rheometer; MCR101 model, single-gap cylinder geometry: CC27 spindle and shear rate of 1 s ^-1 for 2 minutes, at 25 °C.

For viscosities between 40,000 and 100,000 mPa.s at 25°C: the viscosity can be measured using an Anton Paar rheometer; model MCR101, cone 25-6 (cone-plane geometry: 25 mm dia./6° cone); the "zero air gap" setting being carried out and with a shear rate of 1 s-1 for 2 minutes, at 25 °C.

Three measurements are taken for each sample and the viscosity value is taken at 60 seconds. MCR Rheometer Series products operate in accordance with USP (US Pharmacopeia Convention) 912 – Rotary Rheometer Methods.

• Measurement of the amine index

The amine number is determined by acid-base titration using a potentiometer [Brand: Veego; Model: VPT-MG]. 0.6 g of sample is taken into a 500 mL beaker and a 1:1 toluene-butanol mixture is added and stirred to mix the sample well; the sample solution is then titrated with a 0.1(N) HCl solution. A blank value determination with the 1:1 toluene-butanol mixture is also carried out. The calculation of the amine value is carried out using the aforementioned potentiometer.

The amine number is calculated according to the formula:

56.11 × (V – V _white) × N / W mg KOH/ g of sample,

in which

V = volume of HCl required in mL, V _blank = volume of HCl for blank value (without sample) with the 1:1 toluene-butanol mixture in mL;

N= Normality of HCl, i.e. 0.1 N, W= weight of the sample taken in grams.

• HLB value

The term HLB is well known to those skilled in the art and designates the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance of a surfactant or emulsifier. In the present invention, HLB values refer to values at 25°C and atmospheric pressure.

HLB can be measured by experimental determination or can be calculated.

The calculation of the HLB value of a nonionic surfactant is done according to the following equation: HLB = (E + P)/5, E being the percentage by weight of the oxyethylene content and P being the percentage by weight of the polyhydric alcohol content, described in the publication Griffin, J. Soc. Cosm. Chem. 1954 (vol.5, n°4), pp.249-256.

It can also be determined experimentally according to the book by F. Puisieux and M. Seiller entitled “Galenica 5: Dispersed systems – Volume I – surfactants and emulsions – Chapter IV – Notions of HLB and critical HLB, pp.153-194 – paragraph 1.1.2. Determination of HLB experimentally, pp.164-180”.

The calculated HLB is the preferred HLB values that should be considered.

This calculated HLB could be defined as follows:

“Calculated HLB = 20 × molar mass of hydrophilic part/total molar mass.”

For an oxyethylated fatty alcohol, the hydrophilic part corresponds to the oxyethylene units condensed on the fatty alcohol and the “calculated HLB” then corresponds to the “Griffin HLB” as defined above.

For an ester or amide, the hydrophilic part is naturally defined as lying beyond the carbonyl group, starting with the fatty chain(s).

For ionic surfactants/emulsifiers, the HLB value of each surfactant/emulsifier can be calculated by applying the Davies formula as described in Davies JT (1957), “A quantitative kinetic theory of emulsion type, I. Physical chemistry of the emulsifying agent », Gas/Liquid and Liquid/Liquid Interface (Proceedings of the International Surface Activity Congress): 426-438.

According to the formula, the HLB is derived by summing the hydrophilic/hydrophobic contribution offered by the structural components of the emulsifier:

HLB = (number of hydrophilic groups) - n(number of groups per CH ₂ group) +7.

Approximate HLB values for certain cationic emulsifiers are given in Table IV, in “Cationic emulsifiers in cosmetics”, GODFREY, J. Soc. Cosmetic Chemists (1966) 17, p. 17-27.
