Description

COMPOSITION IN FORM OF EMULSION

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a composition, especially cosmetic composition for caring for/making up the keratin materials, especially the skin and the lips, and more particularly a cosmetic composition of emulsion type, exhibiting optimized water washability effect, and meanwhile maintaining good make up effect.

BACKGROUND ART

Cosmetic compositions for caring for/making up keratin materials, especially the skin and the lips, more especially the skin, also known as foundations, concealers, or tinted creams, are commonly used to give an aesthetic color to the skin, for example, to the face, in order to conceal skin imperfections such as redness and spots.

For centuries, consumers around the world, especially in Asia, are in search of novel cosmetic products for improving the appearance of keratin materials and especially the skin, in particular the surface appearance (visible and/or tactile unevenness) and/or the skin complexion, an external sign of a healthy glow, health and youth.

These goals can be achieved by applying to the skin the conventional foundations.

US2005/0008592 discloses a foundation in the formula of a water-in-oil emulsion comprising a fatty phase, an aqueous phase, at least one surfactant chosen from C₈-C₂2 alkyl dimethicone copolyols, at least one other surfactant chosen from dimethicone copolyols and a mixture of volatile oils in a large amount (more than 6%).

US2005/0002890 also discloses a fluid cosmetic composition in the form of a water-in-oil emulsion comprising a liquid fatty phase, an aqueous phase, a dimethicone copolyol and a C₈- C₂2 alkyldimethicone copolyol, characterized in that it comprises solid particles of polymethyl methacrylate and in that the liquid fatty phase comprises volatile hydrocarbon-based oil, the said composition being free of cyclotetrasiloxane.

However, the conventional products as such raise concerns of the consumers in the following aspects: firstly, pigments in the foundation may cause clogging issue to the skin pores; secondly, removing of the foundation is time consuming and a cause of skin keratinization; thirdly, residues remain on skin even after using makeup removal. Thus there exists a need for a novel composition to solve the issues aforementioned.

Conventional oil-in-water type foundation/tinted creams are developed to solve the water washability issue. However this type of compositions can only be partly removed by water, therefore exhibits poor water washability. Besides, the compositions as such lack of long-lasting make up effect due to its hydrophilic property.

Therefore there remains the need to find stable care and/or makeup products, which exhibits an optimized water washability effect, and at the same time possesses good make up effect, for example homogeneous and long-lasting make up effect.

Evaluation

Evaluations of the water washability effect of the invention formulas 1 and 2 and comparative formulas 1 and 2 prepared above were performed, by means of Chromasphere with a definition of 410x410 pixels, according to the following protocol: the measurements were taken in a standardized manner at 20°C, before and after application with the bare fingers, washing with lukewarm water after application (for water washability effect evaluation), of the composition onto the skin of a model.

• Protocol for instrumental measurements of the water washability effect

A colorimetric measurement of the skin before and after making up was carried out by measuring the means for the planes of 10 women models, C* (chroma, the distance out from the neutral axis - saturationv), H* (hue, the angle/direction in the 360 degree range), and L* (lightness), respectively. For each of the 10 women models, an image was taken using a Chromasphere with a definition of 410 ^χ 410 pixels. The results were expressed in the following manner: the color was quantified by the C* (chroma, the distance out from the neutral axis - saturationv), H* (hue, the angle/direction in the 360 degree range), and L* (lightness) analysed by the camera. The homogeneity and long lasting were calculated by the variation of these variables after 3 hours of makeup (deltaE₉₄). The deltaE, dE or else ΔΕ₉₄ is defined as a measurement of difference between two colors. The formula was published in 1995 by a technical committee of the CIE (TC 1 -29), as shown below:

The measurements of water washability effect were carried out and the measurements were made at the following times:

Tiomin - measurement 10 minutes after application of the composition 2omin - measurement 20 minutes after washing the skin where the composition is applied on by the lukewarm water

(Tiomin - T₀) and (T₂omin - T₀) measurement of the water washability of the composition The measurements were performed on a panel of 10 women models who were kept in an air- conditioned (22°C +/- 2°C) waiting room for 15 min before the beginning of the test. They removed their makeup and an image of one of their cheeks was acquired using the Chromasphere with a definition of 410 χ 410 pixels. This image made it possible to measure the color at T₀ before applying makeup. Approximately 10 mg of the invention compositions 1 and 2, and the comparative compositions 1 , 2, and 3 were then weighed out into a watch glass and were applied with the bare fingers, respectively, to the face skin of a 12.56 cm² area on which the To measurement was carried out.

After a drying time of 10 min, an image of the made-up cheek area was acquired using the Chromasphere. This image made it possible to measure the color immediately after applying makeup (T_10min)- Then the made-up cheek was washed by lukewarm water. Finally, an image of the cleaned cheek area after waiting for 20 minutes after washing of the made-up cheek area was acquired using the Chromasphere.This image made it possible to measure the color after washing of the made-up cheek area (T_20min)-

The results were expressed by the following equation: Difference (%) = { [ΔΕ ₉₄ (T_10min -To) -ΔΕ₉₄ (T_20min-T₀)] / ΔΕ₉₄ (T_10min -To) > X 100%

The higher the difference (%) is, the better the water washability of the composition . The products exhibit excellent water washability if the difference is greater than 80%, preferably greater than 85%. The products do not possess an acceptable water washability effect if the difference is lower than 70%.

• Protocol for panel evaluations of the makeup effect and water washability effect of the compositions

Finally, the scores of the makeup effects and the water washability effects of the invention formulas 1 and 2, and the comparative formulas 1 and 2 were given by the panelists of the 10 women models, respectively.

Makeup effects were evaluated by the panelists 15 minutes after 100 mg of the compositions prepared in formulation example on half of the face of the women models, respectively.

Water washability effects were evaluated by the same panelists following the steps of:

100 mg of the formulas prepared in formulation example on half of the face of the women models, respectively;

15 minutes after the formulas were applied, the face of the women models were washed by lukewarm water;

20 minutes after washing the half face where the formulas were applied on by lukewarm water, scores of water washability were given by the women models.

5: very good

4: basically good;

3: acceptable;

2: slightly poor and not acceptable;

1 : poor, not acceptable.

The result of the makeup effects and water washability effects were as follow:

Water washability 80.5% 77.8% 61.4% 40.9% (Difference %)

Makeup effect 5 5 5 5 evaluated by the

panelists

Washability effect 5 4 2 1 evaluated by the

panelists

From the results listed above, it is observed that the invention formulas 1 and 2, comparing to the comparative formulas 1 and 2, possess optimized water washability effect, and at the same time possess a very good makeup effect.

Based on the above listed evaluation results, the inventors discovered that the composition according to the present invention overcomes the technical issues existing in the prior art, and provides a stable cosmetic composition with optimized water washability effect, and meanwhile maintaining good make up effect.
