The present disclosure relates to cosmetic compositions and kits thereof. Aspects of the present disclosure also relate to methods of making such cosmetic compositions and methods of using such cosmetic compositions.

Consumers desire new and improved compositions for treating, caring for and/or conditioning keratinous substances such as skin or hair. Hair and skin are exposed to intrinsic and extrinsic influences such as environmental factors, mechanical factors, chemical factors, heat and aging.

For example, the action of external environmental factors such as light and bad weather, and also heat, such as brushing, combing, dyeing, bleaching, permanent waving and/or decurling, blow-drying, ironing, or even repeated hair washing; The effects of mechanical or chemical treatments can damage and weaken the hair fibers. Over time, the hair becomes dry, coarse, brittle or dull, especially in the brittle areas, which can eventually result in split ends.

Thus, in order to overcome these drawbacks, it is necessary to give it satisfactory cosmetic properties, especially in terms of smoothness, gloss, flexibility, compliance, lightness, natural feel and good unraveling properties. , it is common practice to rely on hair care products with compositions intended to condition the hair. Hair care compositions, such as hair conditioners and/or treatment compositions, are used to improve or restore hair to its natural luster, shine and flexibility, or to improve the feel, appearance and manageability of hair. It may also be used before and after washing the hair with shampoo and/or before and after applying chemical treatments to the hair.

It is understood that different forms of hair care and skin care compositions can provide different benefits.

However, there is still a need to provide improved hair manageability, such as improved hair alignment, reduced undesirable volume (particularly reduced frizz), and increased shine. In addition to the care and conditioning benefits, the product also provides other benefits such as styling, volumizing, shaping, curl definition (for curly or wavy hair), and restylability or reshaping. There is a need to develop cosmetic products that can simultaneously provide the following: (without the need for reapplication).

After the DES system has been incorporated into the base cosmetic composition, the cosmetic composition may at least partially contain the DES system. Further description of DES systems and methods of making DES systems are disclosed herein.

During use, the user combines the cosmetic composition with extraneous water (eg, water other than the water already included in the cosmetic composition). When the cosmetic composition is mixed with or contacted with exogenous water, the cosmetic composition may form a lamellar phase structure. A "lamellar phase structure" generally refers to the packing of head-polar, tail-nonpolar long-chain molecules in the environment of a bulk polar liquid (i.e. water from hair) as sheets of bilayers separated by the bulk liquid. refers to In some cases, the cosmetic composition may be combined with exogenous water to form a mixed structure. As used herein, the term "mixed structure" refers to a combination of lamellar phases and crystals. Additionally or alternatively, the cosmetic composition may be combined with exogenous water to form an opaque or cloudy emulsion.

In some cases, the cosmetic composition has a ratio (water:composition) in the range of 0.1:1 to 3:1, preferably 0.5:1 or 1:1 or 1.5:1 or 2:1. When exogenous water is combined with cosmetic compositions (products), lamellar phase structures, mixed structure phases and/or opaque emulsions are formed. Additionally and/or alternatively, the formation of a lamellar phase structure, a mixed structure phase, and/or an opaque emulsion is such that the total amount of water in the cosmetic composition is, in some instances, prior to combination with the exogenous water. by combining with an amount of exogenous water such that the total weight of can occur. In some embodiments, the opaque or cloudy emulsion has a viscosity that is the same as or greater than the viscosity of the composition before combination with the exogenous water.

The cosmetic composition forms a lamellar phase structure, a mixed structure when combined with exogenous water, e.g. from the user's wet or damp hands, wet or damp skin, wet or damp hair, and/or from a faucet. Phase and/or opaque emulsions may be formed. For example, this can occur when a consumer applies a cosmetic composition to a wet or damp area of the body (eg, hands, face, skin, hair, etc.). The user may then physically manipulate the applied cosmetic composition (e.g., rub their hands together or apply the composition to another part of the body, e.g. face, hair, etc.). ). In some instances, the formation of a lamellar phase structure, a mixed structure phase, and/or an opaque emulsion occurs automatically without the need for mixing. In other words, the cosmetic composition becomes fully combined with the foreign water by simply contacting it with the foreign water. However, in some instances, a minimal amount of mixing may be necessary or encouraged.

The mixed structure formed from the combination of the cosmetic composition and the exogenous water can occur without active mixing from the user or in cooperation with active mixing from the user. For example, this can be easily achieved during use of the cosmetic composition, for example by physically manipulating (e.g. mixing) the cosmetic composition with exogenous water, e.g. using the body (e.g. using the hands). can do.

Cosmetic compositions are typically translucent or transparent before being combined with exogenous water. For example, the cosmetic composition may have a transmittance of at least 50% at a wavelength of 600 nm, as measured using, for example, a Lambda 40 UV-visible spectrometer. In some instances, the composition has at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, or at least 95% at a wavelength of 600 nm, as measured using, for example, a Lambda 40 UV-visible spectrometer. It can have a transmittance.

Methods of treating and/or cleansing hair according to the present disclosure will generally vary, but include applying the cosmetic compositions disclosed herein and allowing the cosmetic compositions to remain on the hair for a sufficient length of time. and rinsing the cosmetic composition from the hair. In some instances, however, the cosmetic composition may be a no-rinse composition. For example, the cosmetic composition may be allowed to remain on the hair indefinitely, ie, the cosmetic composition may not be removed or rinsed from the hair prior to styling.

The cosmetic composition may be applied to the hair in sequence with other compositions. For example, the cosmetic composition may be applied to the hair before shampooing the hair, after shampooing the hair, before conditioning the hair, and/or after conditioning the hair, etc. However, it is not necessary that the cosmetic compositions be used in any particular order.

The method may include applying an amount of the cosmetic composition to a keratinous substrate such as hair or skin, for example to one or both hands, to the hair, to the scalp, to the face, to the body, etc. The hair or skin may be already wet or damp with foreign water, or the foreign water may be included after the cosmetic composition has already been applied to the hair or skin. The cosmetic composition and exogenous water may optionally be mixed together in the body's skin or hair to facilitate the formation of an opaque emulsion of increased viscosity, a lamellar phase structure and/or a mixed structure. Alternatively, the cosmetic composition and exogenous water may be combined and optionally mixed prior to application to the hair or skin. For example, the cosmetic compositions may be combined in containers and bowls, packages, bottles, etc., and subsequently applied to the hair or skin after forming an opaque emulsion.

In some instances, the method includes forming a lamellar structure, a mixed structure and/or an opaque emulsion on the hand and subsequently applying it to the hair or skin. In other instances, the method includes forming a lamellar phase structure, a mixed structure, and/or an opaque emulsion directly on the hair or skin. When the keratinous substrate to be treated is hair, the emulsion formed by the combination of the cosmetic composition and water can improve the conditioning, hair handling, durability of the cosmetic effect, and/or the resistance of the hair to thermal degradation. It is useful for improving The emulsion formed by the combination of the cosmetic composition and water can be applied to wet or damp hair and massaged into the hair, for example using the hands and/or using a comb or brush. It may be extended over the entire area. This results in smoothing and softening of the hair, reducing frizz, dryness and unwanted volume.

In some cases, the cosmetic composition is used during an individual's normal shower/bath/cleansing routine, eg, in combination with routine additional hair care or skin care or skin cleansing compositions. The cosmetic compositions may be applied individually to the hair or skin or may be combined with one or more additional compositions. For example, the cosmetic composition may be mixed with a shampoo (or conditioner) before application to the hair. In this case, a mixture of shampoo (or conditioner) and cosmetic composition is simultaneously applied to the hair and rinsed from the hair at the same time during the cleansing or conditioning process. Alternatively, the cosmetic composition may be layered onto (or lathered into) hair to which shampoo (or conditioner) has already been applied, or vice versa. In this case, the cosmetic composition may be applied to the hair without rinsing it from the hair, and then the shampoo (or conditioner) is subsequently applied to the hair. Alternatively, the shampoo (or conditioner) may be applied to the hair first without rinsing the shampoo (or conditioner) from the hair, and the cosmetic composition is also applied to the hair.

When used in combination with a shampoo and/or conditioner, the cosmetic composition has a composition of about 1:10 to about 10:1, about 1:5 to about 5:1, about 1:3 to about 3:1, about 1 :2 to about 2:1, about 1:1 to about 4:1, about 1:1 to about 3:1, or about 1:1 to about 2:1 (cosmetic compositions of the present disclosure: shampoo/conditioner) etc.) may be mixed or used with shampoos and/or conditioners.

Cosmetic compositions of the present disclosure may remain on the hair for a minimal amount of time before rinsing from the hair, but it is not necessary for the cosmetic compositions to remain on the hair for an extended period of time. Conveniently, the cosmetic composition can be applied and left on the hair for a period of time typical of normal shampooing and/or conditioning. For example, the cosmetic composition (in combination with another hair treatment composition, which may be a shampoo or conditioner) is applied to the hair for several seconds (1, 2, 3 or 5 seconds), up to about 1, about 2, about 5 may be left on the hair for about 10, about 15, about 20, about 25 or about 30 minutes.

If the cosmetic composition is not mixed with another composition prior to application to the hair, the cosmetic composition may be used immediately after the hair is treated with another composition (e.g., shampoo and/or conditioner). It may be applied to the hair before or immediately before. For example, the cosmetic composition may be applied to the hair within seconds or 1, 2, 5, 10 or 20 minutes before or after the shampoo and/or conditioner is applied to the hair.

Example 1
Cosmetic compositions were prepared from the combinations of the exemplary base compositions and exemplary deep eutectic solvent (DES) systems shown in Tables 1 and 2. A DES system was prepared by heating citric acid and urea in a water bath. Specifically, the exemplary cosmetic composition (the exemplary composition Product A) was prepared. A second exemplary cosmetic composition (Exemplary Composition B) was prepared using the method discussed herein combining 90% by weight base composition and 10% by weight DES system. A third exemplary cosmetic composition (Exemplary Composition C) was prepared using the method discussed herein combining 98.5% by weight base composition and 1.5% by weight DES system.

The formulations of exemplary compositions A to C are shown in Table 3.

Example 2
The effects on heat denaturation temperature and durability obtained by exemplary compositions A and B on hair were evaluated in comparison to the effects obtained by Comparative Composition 1 and the control. Comparative Composition 1 had the same formulation as the base composition provided in Table 1 and was used to prepare Exemplary Compositions A and B.

Exemplary Compositions A and B and Comparative Composition 1 were applied to bleached hair swatches. The bleached hair swatches were washed using a conventional sulfate shampoo, rinsed, and then each cosmetic composition was applied in an amount of about 0.1 grams per gram of hair swatch. The hair swatches were combed to evenly spread each cosmetic composition on the hair swatches. After about 1 minute, the hair swatch was rinsed with water. A control was prepared by applying a conventional sulfate-based shampoo without subsequent application of the cosmetic composition to the hair swatch.

Hair swatches were evaluated to estimate the effectiveness of Exemplary Compositions A and B and Comparative Composition 1 on heat denaturation temperature and durability of the hair swatches in light of controls. Hair swatches were subjected to cycle fatigue to determine the durability of the hair swatches. The cycle tester simulates daily hair care by subjecting the fiber to repeated cyclic tensile deformations until failure. Additionally, hair swatches were evaluated for crosslinking density of the amorphous matrix and associated thermal denaturation temperature using differential scanning calorimetry. Differential scanning calorimetry measures the thermal stability of the main morphological components of hair.

As seen in Figures 1 and 2, hair swatches receiving exemplary compositions A and B had denaturing temperatures of about 136°C and about 137°C, respectively. Comparative Composition 1 and the control both had denaturation temperatures of about 132°C. The durability of hair treated with Exemplary Composition A was surprisingly higher than that of hair treated with Comparative Composition 1 and Control. For example, the durability of hair treated with Exemplary Composition A was approximately 50% higher than the durability of hair treated with Comparative Composition 1 and Control. Hair treated with Exemplary Composition B also exhibited greater durability than hair treated with Comparative Composition 1 and Control.

Example 3
The heat denaturing temperature and durability effects obtained on hair with Exemplary Composition A were evaluated in comparison to the effects obtained with Comparative Compositions 1-3 and the control. Comparative Composition 2 was prepared by combining 98% by weight of the base composition and 2% by weight of N,N-dimethylurea. Comparative Composition 3 was prepared by combining 97% by weight of the base composition and 3% by weight of citric acid.

Exemplary Composition A and Comparative Compositions 1-3 were applied to bleached hair swatches. The bleached hair swatches were washed with a conventional sulfate-based shampoo, rinsed, and then treated with the cosmetic compositions Exemplary Composition A and Comparative Compositions 1-3 in an amount of about 0.1 grams each per gram of hair swatch. Coated. The hair swatches were combed to spread each cosmetic formulation evenly onto the hair swatches. After about 1 minute, the hair swatch was rinsed with water. A control was prepared according to the procedure described above, except that no cosmetic composition was applied to each hair swatch after conventional sulfate shampoo.

The hair swatches were then evaluated to estimate the effectiveness of Exemplary Composition A and Comparative Compositions 1-3 on the heat denaturation temperature corresponding to the crosslink density and durability of the hair swatches, taking into account the controls. The heat denaturation temperature and durability of hair to be examined in Example 3 were determined.

Hair treated with Exemplary Composition A showed improved thermal denaturation temperatures and significantly improved hair denaturation compared to hair treated with Comparative Compositions 1-3 and the control, as seen in Figures 3 and 4. It showed excellent durability.

Example 4
The heat denaturation temperature and durability effects obtained with Exemplary Composition A were evaluated in comparison to the effects obtained on hair with Comparative Compositions 1-3 and the control. Specifically, Exemplary Composition A and Comparative Compositions 1-3 were applied to bleached hair swatches. Bleached hair swatches are washed using a conventional sulfate-based shampoo, rinsed and then applied with cosmetic compositions Exemplary Composition A and Comparative Compositions 1-3 in an amount of about 0.1 grams each per gram of hair swatch. did. The hair swatches were combed to spread each cosmetic formulation evenly onto the hair swatches. After about 1 minute, the hair swatch was rinsed with water. This procedure of shampooing the hair swatch, rinsing the hair swatch, and applying the cosmetic composition, respectively, was completed for a total of six cycles. A control was prepared according to the procedure described above, except that no cosmetic composition was applied to each hair swatch after a conventional sulfate-based shampoo.

The hair swatches were then evaluated to estimate the effectiveness of Exemplary Composition A and Comparative Compositions 1-3 on the heat denaturation temperature corresponding to the crosslink density and durability of the hair swatches, taking into account the controls. Hair heat denaturation temperature and durability were determined as discussed in Example 3.

Hair treated with Exemplary Composition A showed improved thermal denaturation temperatures and significantly improved hair denaturation compared to hair treated with Comparative Compositions 1-3 and the control, as seen in FIGS. 5 and 6. It showed excellent durability.

Example 5
Hair swatches treated with Exemplary Compositions A and H were evaluated and compared to hair swatches treated with Comparative Composition 1 or only conventional sulfate-based shampoos (Control). Exemplary Composition H was prepared by adding a mixture containing 6% by weight citric acid and 4% by weight dimethylurea, the balance being water, to the base composition of Table 1, and the mixture was as follows: The amount was 5% by weight of the total weight, and the base composition was 95% by weight.

A conventional sulfate-based shampoo was used to clean and rinse natural Caucasian brown wavy hair swatches before application of Exemplary Compositions A and H and Comparative Composition 1. Each hair swatch was massaged with an amount of 0.4 grams of composition per gram of hair swatch for 1 minute, left on the hair swatch for an additional minute without rinsing, rinsed for 30 seconds, and then blow dried for 2 minutes. These hair swatches were then evaluated using a rinse-off procedure to estimate the effectiveness of the composition. A control was prepared according to the procedure described above, except that no cosmetic composition was applied to the hair swatch after conventional sulfate shampoo.

Additional hair swatches were prepared by applying the test composition to the hair swatches in an amount of 0.15 grams each of the composition per gram of hair swatch. Specifically, Exemplary Compositions A and H and Comparative Composition 1 were massaged onto each hair swatch for 1 minute, left on the hair swatches for 1 minute without rinsing, and then blow dried for 2 minutes. These hair swatches were evaluated using a no-rinse procedure to estimate the effectiveness of the test compositions.

The anti-frizz properties or degree of frizz for each hair swatch was evaluated using imaging analysis. After blow-drying the hair swatches, the hair swatches were placed in a humidity bath at room temperature and 80% relative humidity, and 1 hour later, the anti-frizz properties of the hair swatches were measured.

Surprisingly, in both the rinse and no-rinse procedures, swatches treated with Exemplary Composition A compared to swatches treated with Comparative Composition 1 or the Control, as shown in Figures 7A and 7B. The treated swatches showed significantly better anti-frizz properties after treatment and 1 hour after treatment. Furthermore, in both rinse and no-rinse procedures, Exemplary Composition H exhibited significantly better anti-frizz properties after treatment compared to swatches or controls treated with Composition 1. In the no-rinse procedure, Exemplary Composition H exhibited better anti-frizz properties one hour after treatment compared to swatches treated with Comparative Composition 1 or the control.

Example 6
