Description

O/W emulsions containing a hydrophobic modified inulin and at least one thickening polysaccharide of plant origin
The field of the invention concerns compositions in the form of stable oil-in-water (0/W) emulsions especially having very good cutaneous tolerance.
Preferably, the compositions according to the invention are natural.
According to the invention, the term "natural compositions" means compositions predominantly or even exclusively comprising ingredients of natural origin, as opposed to ingredients of petrochemical or synthetic origin.
The invention relates especially to a composition in the form of an oil-in-water (0/W) emulsion containing, in a physiologically acceptable medium, at least one inulin modified with hydrophobic chains and at least one polysaccharide of plant origin.
Inulin modified with hydrophobic chains is used in the composition of the invention especially as an emulsifier .
The polysaccharide of plant origin is used in the composition of the invention especially as an emulsion thickener and stabilizer.
In recent years, the cosmetic market has been marked by a very strong demand for formulations containing ingredients of natural origin. Consumers desire formulations free of chemical substances, to which they prefer ingredients of natural origin, renowned for their better tolerance and affinity with the skin.
Specifically, it is known that emulsifying surfactants and synthetic polymers (e.g.: acrylic polymers), emulsion stabilizers and texturizers, although being very effective, are liable to have an irritant potential, in particular in the case of people with sensitive or reactive skin.
There is thus still a need for compositions in the form of an oil-in-water (0/W) emulsion that are stable, even in the absence of emulsifiers and/or stabilizers/texturizers of synthetic origin.
The Applicant has shown, surprisingly, that a combination of an inulin modified with hydrophobic chains, in particular an inulin lauryl carbamate combined with at least one polysaccharide of plant origin, can satisfy this need.
The inulin lauryl carbamate proposed by the company Orafti under the name Inutec SPl", despite its amphiphilic nature, has poor emulsifying properties and does not allow stable emulsions to be obtained when it is used as sole emulsifier. The stabilization of such compositions may be obtained with standard emulsifying and/or thickening systems, comprising surfactants (e.g. sugar esters, alkyl polyglucosides or polyglycerolated esters) ; polysaccharides of biotechnological or synthetic origin (e.g. xanthan gum in combination with Veegum (magnesium aluminium silicate) ; fatty alcohols and/or hydrophobic acrylic polymers (e.g. acrylate/Cio-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer = Pemulen) .
However, these complex systems containing thickeners and surfactants in large amounts have the drawback of sensorily making the textures heavy and of giving a tacky, sticky feel and a certain irritant potential.
The combination that is the subject of the invention makes it possible, on the other hand, to obtain a composition in oil-in-water form that shows good stability over time, without having the texture and irritant-potential drawbacks associated with the presence of emulsif iers and/or thickeners of synthetic origin of the compositions of the prior art.
The term "good stability" means herein a homogeneous and uniform oil-in-water emulsion that does not dephase (separation of the aqueous phase and the oily phase) or exude oil, at least for two months at 370C, or even two months at 450C.
The use of this combination thus makes it possible to reduce the content of emulsifiers and/or thickeners of synthetic origin present in the formulation, or even to dispense with them altogether, for an "entirely natural" composition.
The composition according to the invention has the advantage of being very stable over time and of being sensorily pleasant, even in the absence of silicones or of fatty substances of petrochemical nature.
The invention especially relates to a composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion comprising an inner fatty phase and an outer aqueous phase and containing a) at least 0.01% by weight and preferably at least 0.05% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of at least one inulin modified with hydrophobic chains, and b) at least 0.05% by weight and preferably at least 0.1% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of at least one thickening polysaccharide of plant origin, the said composition being free of silicones.
According to the invention, the expression 'free' of silicones means compositions containing less than 1%, preferably less than 0.5%, or even less than 0.2% by weight, or 0% by weight, of silicones.
According to one particular mode, the invention relates to a composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion comprising an inner fatty phase and an outer aqueous phase comprising at least 0.05% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of at least one inulin modified with hydrophobic chains, and at least 0.05% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of at least one thickening polysaccharide of plant origin, the said composition being free of silicones.
According to one particular mode, the fatty phase represents at least 2% by weight and preferably at least 5% by weight relative to the total weight of the said composition.
The fatty phase may contain any type of fatty substance used in cosmetics.
According to one particular mode, the composition according to the invention in the form of an oil-in- water (0/W) emulsion comprises, in a physiologically acceptable medium:
A) an aqueous phase containing at least 0.05% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of an inulin modified with hydrophobic chains, and at least 0.2% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of at least one gelling and/or thickening polysaccharide of plant origin;
B) a fatty phase, which may contain any type of fatty substance used in cosmetics, the said composition being free of silicones.
The compositions according to the invention are in the form of 0/W emulsions, and are preferably free of surfactants and/or of synthetic emulsifying polymers. According to the invention, the expression "free" of surfactant and/or of synthetic emulsifying polymer means compositions containing less than 1%, preferably less than 0.5%, or even less than 0.2% by weight, or 0% by weight, of surfactant and/or of synthetic emulsifying polymer.
According to one particular embodiment, the composition according to the invention is free of fatty substances of petrochemical origin.
The term "free of fatty substances of petrochemical or synthetic origin" means that the composition comprises less than 1% by weight of fatty substances of petrochemical origin, relative to the total weight of the composition, especially less than 0.5% by weight and preferably less than 0.1%, and even more preferentially contains no fatty substance of petrochemical origin.
Hydrophobic modified inulin
According to the invention, the term "hydrophobic modified inulin" especially means an inulin modified with hydrophobic chains, in particular modified by grafting hydrophobic chains onto the hydrophilic backbone of the said inulin.
Inulin belongs to the fructan family.
Fructans or fructosans are oligosaccharides or polysaccharides comprising a sequence of anhydrofructose units optionally combined with one or more saccharide residues other than fructose. Fructans may be linear or branched. The fructans may be products obtained directly from a plant or microbial source, or alternatively products whose chain length has been modified (increased or reduced) by fractionation, synthesis or hydrolysis, in particular enzymatic. Fructans generally have a degree of polymerization from 2 to about 1000 and preferably from 2 to about 60.
Three groups of fructans are distinguished. The first group corresponds to products whose fructose units are mostly linked together via β-2-1 bonds. These are essentially linear fructans such as inulins.
The second group also corresponds to linear fructoses, but the fructose units are essentially linked together via β-2-6 bonds. These products are levans .
The third group corresponds to mixed fructans, i.e. fructans containing β-2-6 and β-2-1 sequences. These are essentially branched fructans such as graminans .
Inulin may be obtained, for example, from chicory, dahlia or Jerusalem artichoke. Preferably, the inulin used in the composition according to the invention is obtained, for example, from chicory.
The inulins used in the compositions according to the invention are hydrophobic -modified. In particular, they are obtained by grafting hydrophobic chains onto the hydrophilic backbone of the fruetan.
The hydrophobic chains that may be grafted onto the main chain of the fructan may especially be linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon-based chains containing from 1 to 50 carbon atoms, such as alkyl, arylalkyl, alkylaryl or alkylene groups,- cycloaliphatic divalent groups or organopolysiloxane chains. These hydrocarbon-based or organopolysiloxane chains may especially comprise one or more ester, amide, urethane, carbamate, thiocarbamate, urea, thiourea and/or sulfonamide functions such as, especially, methylenedicyclohexyl and isophorone,- or aromatic divalent groups such as phenylene. In particular, the inulin has a degree of polymerization from 2 to about 1000 and preferably from 2 to about 60, and a degree of substitution of less than 2 on the basis of one fructose unit.
According to one preferred embodiment, the hydrophobic chains contain at least one alkyl carbamate group of formula R-NH-CO- in which R is an alkyl group containing from 1 to 22 carbon atoms.
According to one more preferred embodiment, the hydrophobic chains are lauryl carbamate groups .
In particular, as non-limiting illustrations of hydrophobic modified inulins that may be used in the compositions according to the invention, mention may be made of stearoyl inulin, such as the products sold under the names Lifidrem INST by the company Engelhard and Rheopearl INS by the company Ciba,- palmitoyl inulin; undecylenoyl inulin, such as the products sold under the names Lifidrem INUK and Lifidrem INUM by the company Engelhard; and inulin lauryl carbamate, such as the product sold under the name Inutec SPl by the company Orafti .
In particular, an inulin grafted with lauryl carbamate is used, which is obtained especially from the reaction of lauryl isocyanate with an inulin, in particular obtained from chicory. An example of these compounds that may especially be mentioned is the product sold under the name Inutec SPl by the company Orafti .
The content of hydrophobic modified inulin in the composition of the invention may range from 0.01% to 20% by weight, preferably from 0.01% to 10% by weight, in particular from 0.05% to 10% by weight, preferably from 0.1% to 10% by weight, better still from 0.1% to 5% by weight and even more preferentially from 0.1% to 1% by weight of active material relative to the total weight of the said composition.
The content of hydrophobic modified inulin is chosen as a function of the content of fatty substance present in the said composition.
Preferably, the weight ratio of hydrophobic modified inulin/fatty substance may range from 1:0.1 to 0.1:60, in particular from 0.1:1 to 0.1:60, preferably from 0.1:1 to 0.1:15, more preferentially from 0.1:5 to 0.1:15 and even more preferentially from 0.1:8 to 0.1:12.
Preferably, it will be 0.1:10, i.e. 0.1% inulin per 10% fatty substance by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.
By way of example:
Figure imgf000010_0001
It may also be stated that the weight ratio (modified inulin/fatty substance) ranges from 0.001 to 10, in particular from 0.002 to 10, preferably from 0.005 to 10 and better still from 0.005 to 0.02.
Preferably, the weight ratio (hydrophobic modified inulin/fatty substance) will be less than 1, especially less than 0.5 and better still less than 0.1.
In particular, it will be 0.01.
The hydrophobic modified inulin may be, alternatively, dispersed in the aqueous phase or the oily phase, before emulsification.
Preferably, it will be dispersed in the oily phase before emulsification.

Cosmetic assembly
According to another aspect, the invention also relates to a cosmetic assembly comprising: i) a container delimiting at least one compartment, the said container being closed by means of a closing member; and ii) a composition as described above, placed inside the said compartment .
The container may be in any adequate form. It may especially be in the form of a bottle, a tube, a jar, a case, a box, a sachet or a carton.
The closing member may be in the form of a removable stopper, a lid, a cap, a tear-off strip or a capsule, especially of the type comprising a body attached to the container and a cover cap articulated on the body. It may also be in the form of a member for selectively closing the container, especially a pump, a valve or a flap valve.
The container may be combined with an applicator. The applicator may be in the form of a fine brush, as described, for example, in patent FR 2 722 380. The applicator may be in the form of a block of foam or of elastomer, a felt or a spatula. The applicator may be free (tuft or sponge) or securely fastened to a rod borne by the closing member, as described, for example, in patent US 5 492 426. The applicator may be securely fastened to the container, as described, for example, in patent FR 2 761 959.
The product may be contained directly in the container, or indirectly. By way of example, the product may be arranged on an impregnated support, especially in the form of a wipe or a pad, and arranged (individually or in plurality) in a box or in a sachet. Such a support incorporating the product is described, for example, in patent application WO 01/03538.
The closing member may be coupled to the container by screwing. Alternatively, the coupling between the closing member and the container is done other than by screwing, especially via a bayonet mechanism, by click- fastening, gripping, welding, bonding or by magnetic attraction. The term "click-fastening" in particular means any system involving the crossing of a bead or cord of material by elastic deformation of a portion, especially of the closing member, followed by return to the elastically unconstrained position of the said portion after the crossing of the bead or cord.
The container may be at least partially made of thermoplastic material. Examples of thermoplastic materials that may be mentioned include polypropylene or polyethylene.
Alternatively, the container is made of non- thermoplastic material, especially glass or metal (or alloy) .
The container may have rigid walls or deformable walls, especially in the form of a tube or a tubular bottle. The container may comprise means for initiating or facilitating the distribution of the composition. By way of example, the container may have deformable walls so as to allow the composition to exit in response to a positive pressure inside the container, this positive pressure being caused by elastic (or non-elastic) squeezing of the walls of the container.
The container may consist of a carton with a base delimiting at least one housing containing the composition, and a lid, especially articulated on the base, and capable of at least partially covering the said base. Such a carton is described, for example, in patent application WO 03/018423 or in patent FR 2 791 042.
The container may be equipped with a drainer arranged in the region of the aperture of the container. Such a drainer makes it possible to wipe the applicator and possibly the rod to which it may be securely fastened. Such a drainer is described, for example, in patent FR 2 792 618.
