Definitions

  • compositions according to the invention can be applied to substrates such as the skin of the face or of the body, the lips and keratinous materials such as the hair, the eyelashes, the eyebrows and the nails.
  • esters resulting from the condensation of a polyol with a carboxylic acid of the “neo” type notably in FR2838049.
  • EP1457201 describes a composition combining a polyester of triglycerides of hydroxylated carboxylic acids and an oil of low molecular weight selected from the polybutylenes, hydrogenated polyisobutylenes, polydecenes hydrogenated or not, copolymers of vinylpyrrolidones, esters of linear fatty acids, hydroxylated esters, esters of fatty alcohols or of C 24 -C 28 branched fatty acids, silicone oils and/or oils of vegetable origin.

  • compositions and combinations when they are in the form of a stick or poured in a pot, have a relatively low gloss compared with liquid or paste compositions.
  • the polymers used within the scope of the present invention are preferably alkyd resins, which constitute a particular class of polyesters, being the product of reaction of polyols and polycarboxylic acids, generally modified with unsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic acid, or with unsaturated oils, for example soya oil or castor oil.
  • Cosmetic compositions comprising polyesters are described in the prior art.
  • document FR2562793 which describes the use of sucrose benzoate in combination with toluene sulphonamide formaldehyde resins

  • polyesters used within the scope of the present invention have a structure that is different from that of the known polyesters. Moreover, when they are formulated in combination with particular ingredients, they make it possible to achieve cosmetic properties equal to or even better than the performance already obtained with the known polyesters.
  • the aim of the present invention is to propose cast cosmetic compositions, for which the level of gloss reaches, for the first time, that of a cosmetic composition in the form of a paste or of a liquid such as a gloss.
  • polyesters lead to solid cosmetic compositions, cast or in the form of a stick, which display, once they are applied, a gloss that is as high as the gloss obtained in the prior art with liquid compositions.
  • the present invention therefore relates to a solid cosmetic composition, notably cast, comprising at least one polyester that can be obtained by reaction:
  • the present invention also relates to a cast cosmetic composition containing a benzoic acid/isophthalic acid/isostearic acid/pentaerythritol polymer, a benzoic acid/isophthalic acid/stearic acid/pentaerythritol polymer, or a mixture thereof.
  • Hydrocarbon means a radical or a compound formed essentially, i.e. constituted, of carbon and hydrogen atoms, and optionally of oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur, or phosphorus atoms, and not containing a silicon or fluorine atom. It can contain alcohol, ether, carboxylic acid, amine and/or amide groups.
  • hydrocarbon denotes a radical or a compound constituted solely of atoms of carbon and of hydrogen, and of oxygen.
  • Branched means a compound comprising at least one branching containing at least two carbon atoms.

More generally, the number of branchings of a molecule corresponds to the number of side groups containing at least one carbon atom and branched on the main chain of the molecule, the main chain corresponding to the longest carbon chain of the molecule (see Organic Chemistry, S. H. Pine, 5th Edition; McGraw-Hill, chapter 3).
  • composition of the invention can be in the form of paste, of solid, or more or less viscous cream. It can be an oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion, a rigid or flexible anhydrous gel. In particular, it is cast as a stick or in a dish, and more especially in the form of a rigid anhydrous gel, notably an anhydrous stick.
  • the hardness of the composition can range from 30 to 300 g, notably from 50 to 250 g, preferably from 70 to 230 g, for example from 100 to 200 g, notably from 150 to 175 g. These values reflect the texture of a solid composition, notably that is liable to disintegrate on keratinous materials, whether it is cast in a pot or cast in the form of a stick.
  • the hardness of a stick can be measured by the “cheese wire” method, which comprises cutting a lipstick of 12.7 mm and measuring the hardness at 20° C., using a DFGHS 2 dynamometer from the company Indelco-Chatillon with displacement at a rate of 100 mm/minute. It is expressed as the shearing force (expressed in grams) required to cut a stick under these conditions.
  • the hardness of a composition according to the invention ranges notably from 50 to 300 g, preferably from 100 to 250 g and for example from 150 to 230 g.
  • the hardness of the composition according to the invention can also be measured by means of a texturometer, which shows the change in resistance to deformation of the composition as a function of the displacement of a spindle in a sample of said composition.
  • the texturometer measures the force of resistance to deformation of the composition once the spindle comes into contact with the sample. After reaching a programmed maximum depth L0 in the sample, the spindle returns to the starting point.
  • the hardness (expressed in gram or in newton) is equal to the value of resistance of the composition when the spindle is at the end of its travel, and the elasticity (expressed as percentage) is equal to the ratio of i) the distance L at which loss of contact occurs between the spindle and the sample during withdrawal of the spindle and ii) the distance L0. Loss of contact is reflected in nullification of the force of resistance of the composition on the spindle.
  • the texturometer used can notably be a Stable Micro System TAX-T2i® texturometer equipped with operating software of the type Texture Expert Exceed® fitted with a hemispherical plastic spindle P/0.5 HS Rheo's.
  • the samples of composition are prepared by pouring, while hot, a sufficient amount of the composition to be tested, for example in a previously calibrated 100 ⁇ 15 mm Petri dish, to obtain a sample about 1 cm thick.
  • the advantage of choosing this form of “packaging” is that it is of sufficient width to avoid any edge effect.
  • Two Petri dishes are prepared in this way, and are left to stand for a minimum of 24 h at 20° C. before characterization.
  • At least three measurements are performed on each sample: one at the centre and the others located at equal distance from its centre and its edge.
  • the hardness is equal to the mean value of the measurements taken, with a minimum number of six.
  • the hardness of the composition measured according to this method can vary from 30 g to 200 g, notably from 50 g to 190 g, especially from 70 to 175 g and more particularly from 100 g to 150 g.
  • the wet gloss index of a film of the composition according to the invention can be measured according to a method of evaluation that includes stages comprising, with the film illuminated by at least one light source:
  • measurement of the perceived gloss includes stages comprising:
  • Image processing can for example include detection of patches of a large extent, by definition with an area exceeding 100 pixels, and the corresponding total area Ab can be measured.
  • the processing can also include the detection of patches of a small extent, by definition with an area less than 20 pixels, and the corresponding total area As can be measured.
  • the wet gloss index can for example be defined by the formula 40 log [(1+Ab)/(1+As)].
  • the image representative of non-diffuse gloss can be generated otherwise than by difference of the images P ⁇ C, for example by the operation (P ⁇ C)/(P+C) executed pixel by pixel.
  • the image representative of undiffused gloss can be obtained by colour or spectral polarimetric imaging.
  • the chromatic or spectral characteristics of the image and in particular of the zones of gloss can be taken into account for calculating the various indices.
  • high gloss i.e. when the zones of gloss have a sufficient contrast against a diffuse background, it is possible to calculate the wet gloss index on non-polarized images generated under visible, ultraviolet or infrared illumination.
  • the wet gloss index of the compositions according to the invention is advantageously greater than or equal to 20, preferably greater than or equal to 30, more preferably greater than or equal to 40.
