Description

NON-PRESSURIZED FOAMING COSMETIC PRODUCTS AND FOAMING

COSMETIC COMPOSITIONS

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention generally relates to non-pressurized packaged foaming cosmetic products and foaming cosmetic compositions that form stable foams. More particularly, the present invention relates to foaming compositions for application onto a keratinous substrate, such as hair, skin or nails, the foaming compositions packaged substantially without pressure and lacking aerosol propellant.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Attempts have been made to design foaming cosmetic products which are easily dispensable, have a desirable skin feel upon application, and deliver benefits of one or more actives. Typically, foaming compositions can be obtained by packaging cosmetic compositions in a container that includes a pressurized propellant provided in a mixture with the composition or contained separately and mixed with the composition upon dispensing to provide a foamed form of the composition. For some applications, such as with products that are produced or used in high heat environments, such as sunscreens, it is desirable to avoid use of pressurized products. Indeed, in some circumstances, regulations preclude the production of some forms of pressurized propellant based aerosol and foaming products. Further, the use of propellants can contribute to poor performance of the cosmetic composition, irritation to the user. Thus, while use of propellants may provide some advantages in terms of the quality of the foam produced with a propellant foamed composition, there has been a need for providing foams using non pressurized means.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In an exemplary embodiment, a foaming cosmetic product packaged in a non-pressurized pump dispenser is provided, the product lacking an aerosol propellant and the composition having at least one emulsion forming surfactant selected from anionic medium chain fatty acids, nonionic medium chain fatty acids, amphiphilic polymer surfactants, and anionic polymer surfactants, and at least one foaming surfactant selected from amphoteric and nonionic gemini surfactants. According to such embodiments, the pump dispenser for containing the foaming cosmetic composition includes two or more compartments, at least one compartment adapted to receive at least a portion of the composition to provide pump actuated pressure for imparting air to foam the composition. The foam imparts a pleasing sensorial and lasting fresh feel when applied to a keratinous substrate. In some embodiments, the foaming cosmetic product forms a foam that is water rinsable upon application. In some embodiments, the foaming cosmetic product forms a foam that is water resistant upon application.

In another exemplary embodiment, a foamable cosmetic composition is provided that provides a foam when compressed and mixed with air, the composition includes at least one emulsion forming surfactant selected from anionic medium chain fatty acids, nonionic medium chain fatty acids, amphiphilic polymer surfactants, and anionic polymer surfactants; and at least one foaming surfactant selected from amphoteric and nonionic gemini surfactants. In some embodiments, the foaming cosmetic composition forms a foam that is water rinsable upon application. In some embodiments, the foaming cosmetic composition forms a foam that is water resistant. The foam imparts a pleasing sensorial and lasting fresh feel when applied to a keratinous substrate.

According to the various exemplary embodiments, propellant-free foaming compositions demonstrate sustained maximum sensorial of from about 40 to about 100 seconds, and in some examples from about 55 to about 90 seconds, and in some examples from about 70 to about 85 seconds. Also according to the various exemplary embodiments, the propellant-free foaming compositions according to the instant disclosure demonstrate sensorial lastingness of from about 80 to about 200 seconds, and in some examples from about 100 to about 180 seconds, and in some examples from about 120 to about 160 seconds.

Other features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following more detailed description of the preferred embodiment which illustrates, by way of example, the principles of the invention.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Features and advantages of the general inventive concepts will become apparent from the following description made with reference to the accompanying drawings, including drawings represented herein in the attached set of figures, of which the following is a brief description:

FIG 1 shows a graphical representation of in vitro sensorial testing results;

FIG 2 shows a graphical representation of in vivo sensorial testing results. This disclosure describes exemplary embodiments in accordance with the general inventive concepts and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way. Indeed, the invention as described in the specification is broader than and unlimited by the exemplary embodiments set forth herein, and the terms used herein have their full ordinary meaning.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Other than in the operating examples, or where otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities of ingredients and/or reaction conditions are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term "about," meaning within 10% of the indicated number (e.g. "about 10%" means 9% - 1 1 % and "about 2%" means 1 .8% - 2.2%).

The articles "a" and "an," as used herein, mean one or more when applied to any feature in embodiments of the present invention described in the specification and claims. The use of "a" and "an" does not limit the meaning to a single feature unless such a limit is specifically stated. The article "the" preceding singular or plural nouns or noun phrases denotes a particular specified feature or particular specified features and may have a singular or plural connotation depending upon the context in which it is used. The adjective "any" means one, some, or all indiscriminately of whatever quantity.

"At least one," as used herein, means one or more and thus includes individual components as well as mixtures/combinations.

The term "comprising" (and its grammatical variations) as used herein is used in the inclusive sense of "having" or "including" and not in the exclusive sense of the terms "consisting only of," "consisting essentially of" and "consisting of."

"Keratinous substrate," as used herein, includes, but is not limited to, skin, hair, and nails. "Keratinous substrate" as used herein also includes "keratinous tissue" or "keratinous fibers," which as defined herein, may be human keratinous fibers, and may be chosen from, for example, hair, such as hair on the human head, or hair comprising of eyelashes or hair on the body.

The term "aerosol propellant" refers to and includes, for example, conventional propellants such as liquefied gases, usually naturally occurring hydrocarbons such as propane or butane, pentane, iso-pentane, and the like and compressed gases, such as, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and air. Lacking a propellant with reference to the compositions hereof means essentially free of a propellant, such that any amounts that may be present are trace and insufficient to confer conventional benefits or properties associated with propellants used for aerosolizing or foaming.

The term "waterless" as used herein, means that the composition contains from 0% up to 5%, preferably less than 3%, most preferably less than 1 % by weight of water, based on the total weight of the composition.

It has been surprisingly and unexpectedly discovered by the inventors that the combination of a surfactant for stabilizing and/or emulsifying an active and a foaming surfactant provides a foamable composition that achieves chemical and physical foam stability and provides a surprising sensorial and lasting fresh feel when applied to skin. The foamed composition, once expelled from the non-pressurized dispenser, has a good aesthetic appearance and maintains a foam structure until spread over the target keratinous substrate.

The compositions according to the invention prove to be particularly advantageous with regard to the sensory feeling that they give the user at the time of application. As regards the sensory feeling, the compositions according to the invention prove to be soft and light to the touch and have a glidant nature which makes them easy to apply. Thus, during application to the keratinous material, in particular the skin, at a pressure exerted by the applicator of the invention, the emulsion can "break", i.e. it fluidizes abruptly under the effect of shear due to the movement of the applicator or fingers over the skin, thereby releasing the aqueous phase and encouraging a sensation of freshness.

Foamed compositions according to the present invention form a stable foam. By "stable foam" it is meant that the compositions form a foam that initially has a good aesthetic appearance and maintains a foam structure when formed that is sufficiently stable to enable the foam to be properly spread over the target substrate. The foaming composition is stable over time, as evidenced by minimal or no change in its macroscopic or microscopic appearance and in its physicochemical characteristics (drop size, pH, viscosity) as observed after storage at various temperatures (T = 4°C, T room, 40°C and 45°C) for a duration of time up to at least two months.

Additional benefits realized with the compositions according to the invention include one or a combination of stability of formula, in vitro/in vivo UV protection, UV protection under Wood Lamp, physic-chemical properties of foam; and sensorial of the inventive foam versus bulk and versus a gas foam both in vitro and in vivo.

Foamed compositions according to the invention find application in a wide variety of treatments, especially cosmetic treatments, of the skin, the lips and the hair, including the scalp, especially for treating, protecting or caring for the skin, the lips, the nails and the hair, and/or for making up the skin, the lips and the nails.

In some embodiments, compositions are cleansing and/or makeup- removing products for one or more of the skin, the scalp and the hair, and scrubbing and/or exfoliating products for the skin, and comprise one or more suitable actives for such applications. As such, these compositions are water rinsable. In other embodiments, compositions are treatments for moisturizing and/or conditioning one or more of the skin, hair and nails, and as such are either water rinsable or water resistant. And in yet other embodiments, compositions are treatments for providing one or more benefits and protections, including sun and/or UV light resistance, and as such, may be water resistant.

In various embodiments, the compositions include at least one active for a keratinous substrate such as hair, skin and nails, such actives selected from and not limited to sun and/or UV protectants. In one embodiment, compositions according to the present invention constitute a UV protective composition, such as, for example, a UV filter. Of course, any combination of actives may be suitable in addition to the foregoing identified actives. In some embodiments, the compositions according to the present invention are devoid of UV Filters.

The compositions before expansion in volume to achieve foaming are provided in any of a variety of forms, for example, selected from an emulsion, suspension, dispersion, solution or gel form.

The cosmetic products include compositions hereof packaged in a pump- actuated non-aerosol dispenser of the type referred to as "pump-foamer" dispensers, as described in Japanese Utility Model 1 -66900. The pump foamer is typically manually actuated, and comprises a spring-mounted piston tube that typically reciprocates vertically in an up and down motion within an air and liquid holding cylinder. The piston tube and an upper and relatively larger portion of the cylinder engage to act as an air pump. The smaller lower portion of the cylinder and the piston tube act as a liquid pump. The liquid and air pumps are synchronized by the common piston mechanism. The pumping action is controlled by means of check valves, including in some examples a first check valve which regulates entry of liquid from the reservoir into the liquid cylinder, a second check valve which regulates entry of air into the air cylinder, and a third check valve which regulates discharge of liquid from the liquid cylinder to a liquid/air mixing chamber. The liquid/air mixing chamber typically includes a homogenizing means which makes the generated foam more homogeneous and controls the consistency of the foam. The foam is then discharged as a uniform non- pressurized aerated foam through the dispensing head of the dispenser. In some embodiments the head includes a mesh screen, such as a nylon mesh for influencing foam consistency. Of course it will be appreciated by one of ordinary skill that any of a number of manually actuated pump dispensers may be selected from to provide a container and delivery means for dispensing foamed compositions.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, a foamable composition includes an emulsion forming surfactant selected from anionic medium chain fatty acids, nonionic medium chain fatty acids, amphiphilic polymer surfactants, and anionic polymer surfactants, and a foamable surfactant selected from amphoteric and nonionic gemini surfactants. The concentration of the emulsion forming surfactant can range from 0.05% to 10% (weight percent of the foaming composition) by weight, and the concentration of the foaming surfactant can range from 0.01 % to 10% of the composition by weight, any weight percent balance thereof comprising one or more of actives, auxiliaries and water. In accordance with various embodiments, the emulsion forming surfactant and the foaming surfactant are present in the composition in the following relative ratios: In a particular embodiment, the composition is UV protectant, and comprises at least one active comprising a UV protectant.

Of course, the inorganic UV filters made of metal oxides may, before their treatment with silicones, have been treated with other surfacing agents, in particular with cerium oxide, alumina, silica, aluminum compounds, silicon compounds, or their mixtures. The coated inorganic UV filter may have been prepared by subjecting the inorganic UV filter to one or more surface treatments of a chemical, electronic, mechano-chemical, and/or mechanical nature with any of the compounds as described above, as well as polyethylenes, metal alkoxides (titanium or aluminum alkoxides), metal oxides, sodium hexametaphosphate, and those shown, for example, in Cosmetics & Toiletries, February 1990, Vol. 105, pp. 53-64.

METHODS

Compositions according to the invention are prepared according to the following general method.

Preparation of water phase

The water phase is prepared with water, and according to some embodiments, preservative agents, emollients and hydrosoluble emulsifiers and UV filters. Procedure: In the composition presented in this invention, all the material of water phase is weighted in a beaker. The water phase is prepared at room temperature, under mechanical agitation to provide the solubilization of hydro materials.

It can occur in 10 or 30 minutes, for example. The obtained phase is translucent. The viscosity of water phase can grow after the solubilization of hydro- emulsifiers.

Preparation of oil phase

The oil phase is prepared with an active, in some such embodiments including, at least one UV filter, and in some embodiments fatty oils that are heat soluble, as solvents and fat-soluble emulsifiers.

Procedure: the oil phase components, in a representative embodiment including UV filters from oil phase, fat-soluble, and heat soluble materials, are weighed in a beaker and heated to melting to 75 °C, with mechanical agitation to provide a translucent bulk.

Formation of composition emulsion

The oil phase is then added to water phase, under mechanical agitation for 15 minutes and at room temperature, to form an emulsion. At least one foam surfactant is introduced in the emulsion bulk, with light mechanical agitation.

The compositions according to the invention can be packaged in a container, such as a dispensing pump dispenser, to provide a foaming cosmetic product. In some examples, the dispensing pump dispenser delimits at least two compartments, one compartment which comprises the composition, according to the present invention, and the other compartment adapted to receive at least a portion of the composition to provide pump actuated pressure for imparting air to foam the composition, the container being closable by a closure part, and equipped with a means for the dispensing of the composition.

In the various embodiments, the composition generates foam in association with a foamer or foaming pump dispenser that emits doses of the composition contained in the dispenser in the form of foam. Foam is created in a foamer chamber integrated with the dispenser. At least a portion of the composition is dispensed into the foaming chamber. Application of pressure to a dispensing actuator of the dispenser introduces air into the foaming chamber to achieve mixing of air with the composition and the mixture is discharged as foam through a dispenser nozzle that includes, in some embodiments, a nylon mesh for enhancing the foam.

The following examples are intended to further illustrate the present invention. They are not intended to limit the invention in any way. Unless otherwise indicated, all parts are by weight.

Exemplary Inventive and Comparative Compositions Sensorial: in Vivo and in Vitro Sensorial testing

IN VITRO SENSORIAL TESTING

In vitro sensorial testing involves a measure of surface cooling on a non- biological substrate.

A test area of 25 cm² is prepared for each of the test compositions to be evaluated, and 5 discrete test spots are marked for application of a test composition, along with a control area to which no test composition is applied. Using an IR thermometer, an initial measure of temperature is obtained from a distance of 10 cm prior to application of the test composition. Thereafter, equal aliquots of the test composition are applied to each of the 5 test spots at an initial time (T= 0 sec) to each of the 5 test spots (0.2 mg/cm²) over a timer interval of approximately 10 sec. The temperature is obtained for each test area at time intervals as follows: T= 30 sec, T= 2 min, T= 3 min, T= 5 min, T= 10 min, and T= 15 min.

Inventive and comparative compositions were evaluated, and are listed in Table 3. Test results are shown in FIG 1 .

IN VIVO SENSORIAL TESTING

In vivo time and intensity sensorial (perception of freshness is characterized as lightness or coolness) studies were conducted with panelists trained in the sensorial testing of products. The time-intensity method is a particular way to control the sensations perceived during all the steps of product evaluation. This methodology was developed as a way to study the persistence of sensorial tastes or preferences, for example, the freshness.

This technique is based in the use of computer programs to collect and manipulate the time-intensity data (T-l), this software (SensoMaker) have a scale interface which the panelists indicate the stimulus intensity to be collected using a computer interface. Equal aliquots of the test composition were applied to standard test spot locations on each panelist's arm and sensory data were captured over a time period of 600 seconds for each test composition.

Data were collected and plotted for four comparative compositions and an inventive composition (the same as tested for in vitro sensorial). FIG 2 shows a graphic of the relationship of time and sensorial perception intensity for the test data obtained with each test composition, and Table 4 shows comparative and inventive compositions tested and results determined based on the raw data (raw data not shown). For each plot, the following were determined: the maximum intensity of sensorial reported (I MAX); the time points at which sensorial = 5% of I MAX was first and last reported (Tl 5% and TD 5%); the time points when >/= 90% of I MAX was first and last reported (Tl 90% and TD 90%); the time interval (seconds) sensorial was reported as >/= 90% of I MAX (PLATEAU); and, the correlation between intensity and lasting of (area under the curve, AREA).

Table 4

As shown in Table 4 the inventive composition significantly outperformed all of the comparative compositions by all time-intensity sensorial parameters with the exception of the maximum intensity (I MAX). One comparative did exhibit a slightly greater I MAX for sensorial as compared to the inventive composition. The data show that the inventive composition demonstrated a sustained maximum sensorial (sustained maximum sensorial = PLATEAU at 90% I MAX) of at least twice that of each comparative. The inventive composition likewise showed significantly greater sensorial lastingness, again at least twice that of each comparative (TD 90%).

In various embodiments, propellant-free foaming compositions according to the instant disclosure demonstrate sustained maximum sensorial of from about 40 - 100 seconds, and in some examples from about 55 - 90 seconds, and in some examples from about 70 - 85 seconds.
