Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a back injection molding process. More particularly, the invention relates to a back injection molding process that does not use volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Specifically, the process does not use volatile hydrocarbons or alcohols as solvents for forming the slurry from which the molded item is formed. Most particularly, the invention is directed to a method of molding cosmetic compositions into suitable shapes using a back injection molding process in which a solvent, preferably water, is used to form a slurry with powdered cosmetic ingredients. The slurry is then molded in a pan to the desired shape using the back injection molding process.
  • VOCs volatile organic compounds
  • Back injection molding processes and apparatus for conducting same are known in the art. Specifically, back injection molding machinery is available in the United States from the Nanyo Company of Japan. In such a back injection molding process, powdered components are mixed and pulverized to form a powdered mixture, which is then combined with a solvent to form a slurry. The slurry is fed into the back injection molding apparatus, which injects the slurry into a mold of the desired shape, to form a molded cosmetic product.
  • VOCs volatile organic compounds
  • the present process contains no VOCs. Therefore, it provides a simplified processing environment or area, namely there is no need for special air handling equipment and techniques.
  • a back injection molding process in which a slurry to be molded is formed by combining powdered components and a solvent.
  • the solvent is preferably either a solution of water and a surface active agent, or an emulsion of (1) at least one oil, ester or silicone and (2) water.
  • a preferred use of the back injection molding process is to form molded cosmetic products such as a blush, eyeshadow, foundation, lipstick, eyebrow liner, mascara, or the like, that simulate the aesthetic properties of cosmetics formed using the prior art volatile organic compounds, but does not contain a volatile organic compound, and can be produced using currently available back injection molding machinery.
  • Fig. 1 is a block diagram of a first embodiment of the inventive process, in which a solution of water and surface active agent is used as a solvent;
  • Fig. 2 is a block diagram of a second embodiment of the invention in which the solvent is an oil in water emulsion.
  • the present invention provides a novel back injection molding process in which one or more powdered components are combined with a solvent that is not a volatile organic compound to form a slurry.
  • a solvent is non-volatile for purposes of this invention.
  • a solvent is or includes water. It is preferred that the water used in the present invention be demineralized, having no ionic character.
  • the formed slurry is injected into a pan or other container (collectively referred to as a pan herein) and dried to form a molded body in the pan.
  • the solvent used to form the slurry contains no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), thereby alleviating environmental and consumer safety concerns. In addition, the costs associated with the process are lowered.
  • VOCs volatile organic compounds
  • this process can be used to form a variety of molded compositions, it is particularly useful in the formation of molded cosmetic compositions, such as a blush, eyeshadow, foundation, lipstick, eyebrow liner, mascara, or the like.
