Description

MASKING ANTIPERSPIRANT DEODORANT COMPOSITION

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a method and composition for controlling body odor and masking skin imperfection of the localized areas of the body such as the underarm, comprising at least one masking micas having a high and low refractive index, at least one antiperspirant agent, at least one fatty compound, optionally, at least one silicone, optionally, at least one surfactant, optionally, at least one solvent, and optionally, at least one propellant.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Sweating, though a natural bodily function, results in the formation of wet patches on human skin or clothing. Moreover, the sweat secreted from sweat glands has a tendency to form a malodorous odor due to its interaction with the many microorganisms which reside on the underarm skin surface. These two phenomena are deemed to be undesirable in many societies.

Products are commonly available which help to address both phenomena.

More particularly, antiperspirant products possess active ingredients which inhibit/suppress sweating, whereas deodorant products possess ingredients that mask the malodors caused by sweat. Many products address both phenomena simultaneously.

In general, the above-referenced products fall into three dispensing category types: sprays, solids and roll-ons. The available compositions in market in roll-on, aerosol, soft-solid and stick products possess several drawbacks. For example, lack of way to mask skin imperfection, underarm fabric stains and more.

It is thus an object of the present invention to provide an antiperspirant plus deodorant composition with masking micas composition, which avoids the above-referenced drawbacks.

MASKING MICAS COMPOSITION

The cosmetic composition according to the present invention comprises at least one beige interferential pigment, such as a pearlescent pigment or nacre, with an average particle size of less than 25 pm can effectively reduce the visibility of skin imperfections, such as pores, and spots, especially reduce the visibility of spots, to provide superior concealing cosmetic effects, with natural effects.

The term "mica composition" means a pigment that is capable of producing a color by an interference phenomenon, e.g., between the light reflected by a single layer or a plurality of layers with different refractive indices, in particular a succession of layers of high and low refractive indices.

The mica composition, herein referred as "pigment" may have a multilayer structure which is intended to denote either a structure formed from a substrate covered with a single layer or a structure formed from a substrate covered with at least two or even more consecutive layers. By way of example, a mica composition may include more than four layers of different refractive indices. The layers of pigment may optionally surround a core, which may present an optionally plate-like shape.

The pigment may be in the form of a plate, with an aspect ratio of from 1 to 200, preferably from 5 to 100, and more preferably from 10 to 50. The pigment according to the present invention has an average particle size of less than 30 μιη. The average particle size may be measured as a volume average particle size, with a laser granulometer, for instance the Mastersizer 2000® machine from Malvern and/or the BI90+® machine from Brookhaven Instrument Corporation.

It is preferable that the pigment be a composite powder comprising at least one plate type core, preferably composed of mica, talc, alumina, silica, barium sulfate, boron nitride, bismuth oxychloride, synthetic fluorphlogopite or a mixture thereof, and at least one coating including at least one metal oxide, preferably titanium dioxide, iron oxide, or a mixture thereof.

In a preferred embodiment, the beige pigment according to the invention comprises at least one plate type core composed of mica, and at least one coating including at least titanium dioxide and iron oxide.

Nacres (pearlescent pigments) are examples of mica composition pigments.

The term "nacres" mean colored particles of any form, which may optionally be iridescent, as produced in the shells of certain mollusks, or which are synthesized, and which exhibit a "pearlescent" coloring effect by optical interference.

As examples of nacres, mention may be made of nacre pigments such as mica titanium dioxide coated with iron oxide, mica titanium dioxide coated with chromium oxide, mica titanium dioxide coated with an organic colorant, in particular of the type mentioned above, and nacre pigments based on bismuth oxychloride. They may also be particles of mica on the surface of which at least two successive layers of metal oxides and/or organic coloring substances have been superimposed.

According to the present invention, the mica composition pigment, such as a pearlescent pigment, has a beige color.

The beige pigment used according to the present invention may preferably be characterized by:a beige base color with 50<L^*<100, 15<C^*<35 and 30<h<90 under the CLE. L^*C^*h color system, on white background; and

- a desaturated reflection color with 50<L^*<100, and 0<C^*<15 (any value of h) under the CLE. L^*C^*h color system, on black background, and

preferably an average particle size less than 25 μιη.

In a more preferred embodiment, the beige interferential pigment used according to the present invention may be characterized by:a beige base color with 70<L^*<90, 15<C^*<30 and 40<h<80 under the CLE. L^*C^*h color system, on white background; and

a desaturated reflection color with 50<L^*<75, and 2<C^*<10 (any value of h) under the CLE. L^*C^*h color system, on black background, and

- preferably an average particle size less than 25 μιη.

The color of the pigment can be measured with a colorimeter such as a Nikon Minolta CM-700d colorimeter (standard illuminant D65/10⁰) under the conditions that the white or black background is covered with 0.2 mg/cm² of powder (interferential pigment), and the measured color can be characterized using the CLE. L^*C^*h color system where "L^*" stands for lightness, "C^*" stands for saturation, and "h" stands for hue.

As examples of the pigments, preferably pearlescent pigments or nacres, for the present invention, mention may be made of mica/titanium dioxide/iron oxides such as products in the name of Colorona^® Oriental Beige marketed by Merck, and Prestige^® Soft Beige marketed by Eckart.

The pigment such as a pearlescent pigment or nacre can show its base color once applied on bright areas of the skin such as skin ridges and its reflection color once applied on dark areas of the skin such as spots. Thus, the interferential pigment with a beige base color and a desaturated reflection color can provide a natural color coverage while brightening up spots and decreasing their visibility.

The cosmetic compositions of the present invention optionally may contain at least one silicone elastomer.

The term "silicone elastomer" means a supple, deformable organopolysiloxane with viscoelastic properties and especially with the consistency of a sponge or a supple sphere. Its modulus of elasticity is such that this material withstands deformation, has a limited ability to extend and to contract, and is capable of regaining its original shape after stretching.

The silicone elastomer is more particularly a crosslinked organopolysiloxane elastomer. The organopolysiloxane elastomer may be obtained by crosslinking addition reaction of diorganopolysiloxane containing at least one hydrogen bonded to silicon and of diorganopolysiloxane containing ethylenically unsaturated groups bonded to silicon, especially in the presence of a platinum catalyst; or by dehydrogenation crosslinking condensation reaction between a diorganopolysiloxane containing hydroxyl end groups and a diorganopolysiloxane containing at least one hydrogen bonded to silicon, especially in the presence of an organotin; or by crosslinking condensation reaction of a diorganopolysiloxane containing hydroxyl end groups and of a hydrolysable organopolysilane; or by thermal crosslinking of organopolysiloxane, especially in the presence of an organoperoxide catalyst; or by crosslinking of organopolysiloxane via high-energy radiation such as gamma rays, ultraviolet rays or an electron beam.

The silicone elastomer is advantageously a non-emulsifying elastomer. The term "non-emulsifying" defines organopolysiloxane elastomers not containing any hydrophilic chains, and in particular not containing any polyoxyalkylene units (especially polyoxyethylene or polyoxypropylene) or any polyglyceryl units. Thus, according to one particular mode of the invention, the composition comprises an organopolysiloxane elastomer free of polyoxyalkylene units and of polyglyceryl units.

Non-emulsifying elastomers are described especially in patents EP 242 219, EP 285 886 and EP 765 656 and in patent application JP-A-61 -194009.

The silicone elastomer is generally in the form of a gel, a paste or a powder, but advantageously in the form of a gel in which the silicone elastomer is dispersed in a linear silicone oil (dimethicone) or cyclic silicone oil (e.g.: cyclopentasiloxane), advantageously in a linear silicone oil.

According to a particular mode, use is made of a gel of silicone elastomer dispersed in a silicone oil chosen from a non-exhaustive list comprising cyclopentadimethylsiloxane, dimethicones, dimethylsiloxanes, methyl trimethicone, phenyl methicone, phenyl dimethicone, phenyl trimethicone and cyclomethicone, preferably a linear silicone oil chosen from polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) or dimethicones with a viscosity at 25°C ranging from 1 to 500 cSt, optionally modified with optionally fluorinated aliphatic groups, or with functional groups such as hydroxyl, thiol and/or amine groups.

EMULSIFIER SYSTEM

An essential constituent of the oil-in-water emulsions of the present invention is a mixture of non-ionic emulsifiers forming an emulsifier system. Such an emulsifier system conveniently has a weighted average HLB value in the region of from about 4 to about 15 and particularly from about 6 to 9. An especially desired weighted average HLB value is from about 6 to 6.29.

Such a weighted average HLB value can be obtained by using a combination of at least two emulsifiers, a first (lower) HLB emulsifier having an HLB value in the range of from about 3 to 8, and in particular from about 4 to 6 and a second (higher) HLB emulsifier having an HLB value in the range of from about 10 to 19 and especially from about 14 to 16. When a combination of emulsifiers is employed, the weighted average HLB value is obtained by varying the weight average of the low and high HLB values of the constituent emulsifiers. The weighted average HLB value is obtained by calculating the weighted average of the individual HLB values.

The non-ionic emulsifiers may be chosen from ethoxylated non-ionic surfactants and propoxylated non-ionic surfactants. The combination of emulsifiers includes, but is not limited to, steareth-2 (HLB = 4.9) and one selected from steareth- 15 (HLB = 14.2) to steareth-100 (HLB = 18.8). Particularly preferred is a combination of steareth-2 and steareth-20.

It is desirable to use a mixture of emulsifiers in a weight ratio of emulsifier having a lower HLB value of <6.5 to emulsifier having a higher HLB value of >8 of from about 1 .5:1 to 6:1 and particularly from 2:1 to 5:1 .

One of the surprising properties observed by the composition of the present invention is its ability to impart a pleasant feeling of moisturizing which is perceived by the end user upon application to their skin. This tactile feeling is directly related to liquid crystals which are formed in the composition based on the selection and association of the constituents of the oil system and emulsifier system.

More particularly, it is imperative that the ratio by weight of the oil system to the emulsifier system be in the range of about 10:1 to 2:1 , such as about 7:1 to 2:1 , and about 3:1 to 4.7:1 . It has been found that by using the above- disclosed oil and emulsifier systems, in the disclosed amounts, liquid crystals are formed within the composition which yield the desired moisturizing tactile properties observed by the end user.

The aqueous phase of the said emulsions comprises water and generally other water-soluble or water-miscible solvents. The water-soluble or water- miscible solvents comprise short-chain, for example C1 -C4, monoalcohols, such as ethanol or isopropanol; or diols or polyols, such as ethylene glycol, 1 ,2-propylene glycol, 1 ,3-butylene glycol, hexylene glycol, diethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, 2- ethoxyethanol, diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, triethylene glycol monomethyl ether and sorbitol.
