Description

A cosmetic composition with a milky or opaque appearance

Technical Field

The present invention belongs to the cosmetic field and relates to a cosmetic composition comprising an environmentally friendly opacifier based on an amino acid surfactant and calcium chloride.

Background Art

A beautiful and attractive appearance is a desire for many people. One typical sign of such an appearance is a healthy and smooth looking skin. Therefore, in order to take care on the skin, it is for many people a daily routine to apply cosmetic products such as cleansing and moisturizing products.

In the development process of cosmetic compositions cosmetic companies mainly focus on the performance of the products, for example, in that the cosmetic compositions provide a specific caring effect or are efficient in cleansing the skin while being mild at the same time. However, it is well known that besides the performance of the cosmetic products their optically appearance is a decisive aspect for customers to buy the products. Therefore, it is essential for the market impact of the cosmetic products that they have unique optical appearance making them outstanding for the consumer.

Looking back in the history of the world, it was reported that Cleopatra, as ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, was already bathing in donkey milk to clean her skin. Whether it comes from this historical transmission, that milk is perceived as particularly skin-caring, can be left open in itself. Nevertheless, it is a fact that consumers today often perceive cosmetic cleansing products that have an opaque or milky appearance as particularly caring for their skin.

In order to provide cleansing compositions which have an opaque, turbid or milky appearance it is a common approach to disperse opacifier in the compositions. However, the opacifier mostly used in cleansing products has a number of drawbacks.

One opacifier typically contained in the cosmetic cleansing composition is styrene/acrylates copolymer. An opacifier concentrate containing styrene/acrylates copolymer is for example disclosed in US20070128144 A1. Further opacifiers based on styrene polymers are disclosed in WO2015130735 A1.

The drawback of styrene based polymers is that they fall in the category of particulate micro plastic, which may be released via the sewage system and water treatment into the environment. Therefore, to protect the environment the use of these particulate micro plastic based polymers is generally not desirable.

Another well-known opacifier is PEG-3 distearate. However, the use of substances substituted with polyethylene glycol units is also not desirable as those substances are suspected to weaken the skin’s barrier function. Therefore, PEG-3 distearate is rated with the word “critical” by consumer portals such as codecheck. com.

Following the description above it can be noted that it is generally desirable to provide new kinds of opacifiers to be used in cleansing compositions which do neither suffer the disadvantage of being rated as environmentally critical, such as micro plastic, nor are suspected to weaken the skin’s barrier function.

Summary of the Invention

Therefore, the objective of the present invention is the provision of a new kind of opacifier which makes it possible to give a cosmetic cleansing composition a milky or opaque appearance. Another objective of the present invention is the provision of a cosmetic cleansing composition, which has an opaque and/or milky appearance.

It was surprisingly found by the applicant that the objectives can be solved by the present invention.

A first aspect of the invention is a cosmetic composition, preferably a cleansing composition, comprising

a) at least one amino acid surfactant according to formula (I)

wherein R is an alkyl chain containing 10 to 20 carbon atoms and M ⁺ is an alkali metal ion or an ammonium ion; and

b) calcium chloride.

Another aspect of the present invention is the use of the combination of

a) at least one amino acid surfactant according to formula (I) ,

b) calcium chloride

to form a turbid or milky looking cosmetic composition, preferably a cleansing composition.

It was surprisingly noticed by the applicant that by adding the inventive combination to a cosmetic composition, the appearance of the cosmetic composition turns turbid/milky. Hence, according to the invention the combination of a) at least one amino acid surfactant according to formula (I) , wherein R is an alkyl chain containing 10 to 20 carbon atoms and M ⁺ is an alkali metal ion or an ammonium ion; and b) calcium chloride, can be used as an opacifier for the cosmetic composition.

Unless otherwise stated, all tests and measurements were performed under “normal conditions” . The term "normal conditions" refers to 20℃, 1013 hPa and a relative humidity of 50%.

All temperatures disclosed refer, unless otherwise stated, to a pressure of 1013 hPa.

If percentages by weight (%by weight) are given below without reference to a particular composition or specific mixture, these figures always refer to the total weight of the cosmetic composition. If ratios of certain components are disclosed without reference in the following description, these ratios always refer to weight ratios of the components.

If ranges for the weight of certain ingredients are disclosed, the disclosure includes not only the start and end values for the indicated ranges but also the individual values within the ranges in steps of 0.01%by weight.

The phrases "according to the invention" , "advantageous according to the invention" , "advantageous in the sense of the present invention" , etc., refer in the context of the present disclosure always to the composition according to the invention, the use according to the invention and the method according to the invention.

According to the present invention a composition is considered to be turbid or milky, if someone cannot spot with pure human eye letters written in Arial size 10 on a sheet of paper placed directly behind a clear glass beaker of 2 cm inner diameter filled with the composition, if he or she looks through the central part of the beaker. The test is made after leaving the beaker containing the composition standing for at least 2 hours to ensure that the milky appearance does not come from swirled up particles.

The formulas according to the invention are fully stable, which means that they do not change their appearance when being stored under normal conditions for at least 5 days.

Amino acid surfactants or in other words, amino acid based surfactants, are considered as fully biodegradable and are therefore considered as environmentally friendly ingredients. The same is true for simple salts such as calcium chloride.

According to the present invention it is preferred if the amino acid surfactants a) are contained in the cosmetic composition in a total quantity of at least 1%by weight, preferably at least 1.5%by weight, more preferably at least 2%by weight and most preferably at least 3%by weight, calculated to the total weight of the composition.

Furthermore it is preferred, if the amino acid surfactants a) are contained in the cosmetic composition in a total quantity of no more than 10%by weight, preferably no more than 7.5%by weight, more preferably no more than 6%by weight and most preferably no more than 4.5%by weight, calculated to the total weight of the composition.

For the cases that an amino acid surfactant according to formula (I) , wherein R is an alkyl chain containing 10 to 20 carbon atoms and M ⁺ is a sodium ion, is chosen as surfactant a) , it was surprisingly found that the composition had a superior stability in comparison to the other surfactants a) . Therefore, it is preferred if an amino acid surfactant according to formula (I) , wherein R is an alkyl chain containing 10 to 20 carbon atoms and M ⁺ is a sodium ion, is selected from the group of surfactants a) .
