Description

Title: Process for treating keratin materials using at least one (co)polymer of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) bearing acetoacetate functions and at least one crosslinking agent

Technical field

The present invention relates more particularly to the cosmetic field, notably to the treatment of keratin materials, in particular for caring for and/or making up the skin and/or the lips and/or the eyelashes and/or the eyebrows.

The aim is thus notably to propose novel treatment processes, notably cosmetic treatment processes, comprising the application to keratin materials, notably the skin and/or the lips and/or the eyelashes and/or the eyebrows, of at least one (co)polymer of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) bearing acetoacetate functions, of water, of at least one crosslinking agent, and optionally of at least one cosmetic active agent, which are most particularly advantageous in terms of their technical performance, notably in terms of the resistance of the deposits they make it possible to obtain, and the sensorial experience they give the user.

Prior art

Cosmetic products conventionally require the use of one or more film-forming polymers in order to obtain a quality deposit of these products on keratin materials, and in particular to satisfy the expectations detailed below.

Thus, in the field of skin and/or lip makeup, it is most particularly expected that the deposit formed does not transfer on contact with the fingers or clothing.

It must also have good resistance to contact with water, notably rain or during showering or even perspiration, and also resistance to sebum, or even to contact with edible fats, notably edible oils when this deposit is formed on the lips. Moreover, this deposit must be comfortable or even glossy.

For this purpose, dispersions of polymer particles of nanometric size are used as filmforming agent in makeup products such as mascaras, eyeliners, eyeshadows or lipsticks, and in products for haircare application, and more particularly in their organic and notably oily phases.

However, the compositions of the prior art have unsatisfactory hold over time. Compositions are known, notably film-forming cosmetic compositions, comprising at least one fatty phase and at least one copolymer obtained by polymerization of ethylenic monomers, some of which bear particular groups (see, for example, WO 2022/136104). Such compositions nevertheless require the presence of a fatty phase, which may reduce the field to certain applications. Furthermore, these compositions do not necessarily meet the need for naturalness expressed by certain consumers.

It is also known from patent EP 1 392 222 to use a cosmetic composition for caring for and/or treating keratin materials, comprising a supramolecular polymer including a polymer backbone and at least two groups that are capable of forming at least three hydrogen bonds. However, with this composition alternative, the persistence or water resistance performance obtained remain insufficient.

WO 2014/099108 also discloses compositions and processes for forming deposits on keratin substrates, which have good persistence over time, using compounds bearing acetoacetate functions and active agents functionalized so as to be covalently bonded to the keratin materials.

WO 2022/136114 describes a cosmetic aqueous dispersion containing at least i) one polymers having at least one acetoacetate unit of specific formula especially derived from acetoacetoxy ethyl methacrylate monomers, ii) at least one polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and iii) water. Nevertheless, this type of dispersion is not always satisfactory, particularly in terms of fragmentation resistance, and/or resistance to oil and/or sebum.

Moreover, WO 06/042169 describes tissue adhesives, in medical and veterinary applications, formed by the reaction of poly hydroxy compounds derived with acetoacetate groups and/or polyamine compounds derived with acetoacetamide groups with an aminofunctional crosslinking compound.

In general, the treatments and processes described above do not make it possible to obtain deposits, on keratin materials, in particular on the skin and/or the lips, which satisfy all the abovementioned requirements, namely very good resistance to fragmentation, water and/or to fatty substances, notably for the lips, which are moreover comfortable to wear for the users, which make it possible to adjust the gloss of the deposits or which do not produce deposits that are visually unsightly.

Moreover, there is considerable consumer demand for compositions with a reduced environmental impact. Moreover, in the field of cosmetic products, film-forming compounds that can be conveyed in water are sought for use in cosmetic treatments requiring less oil, or even aqueous formulations.

In particular, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is an interesting polymer for cosmetic applications. It is a film-forming polymer that can be conveyed in water, leading to deposits with good properties of resistance to fatty substances such as olive oil or sebum, etc.

However, PVA films have a major drawback, in that they are highly sensitive to water, which limits their suitability for application to keratin materials, in particular the skin and/or the lips.

Disclosure of the invention

There is thus still a need for a treatment process, notably a cosmetic process, intended for application to keratin materials, notably the skin and/or the lips and/or the eyelashes and/or the eyebrows, which allows a film-forming deposit to be obtained which is non-tacky, transfers little, if at all, is comfortable, and is persistent, in particular with respect to water and fatty substances, in particular oils.

There is also still a need for a treatment process, notably a cosmetic treatment process, which allows deposits to be obtained that are resistant to water and fatty substances, in particular sebum.

There is also still a need for a treatment process, notably a cosmetic treatment process, which allows deposits to be obtained whose gloss can be modulated and/or which are not visibly unsightly, and which are ideally invisible if they are not coloured.

There is also still a need for a treatment process, notably a cosmetic treatment, using aqueous or predominantly aqueous compositions and leading to water-resistant deposits.

The present invention is specifically directed towards meeting all or some of these needs.

Summary of the invention

These problems are solved by the use of a process, notably a cosmetic process, for treating keratin materials, notably the skin and/or the lips and/or the eyelashes and/or the eyebrows, comprising the application to said keratin materials, notably the skin and/or the lips and/or the eyelashes and/or the eyebrows, in one or more successive steps, of at least: i) one or more (co)polymers bearing at least one unit of formula (I), and also the optical or geometrical isomers thereof, and/or the solvates thereof, such as hydrates, or a composition containing same:

in which formula (I):

- R^a represents a hydrogen atom or a linear or branched (Ci-C4)alkyl group; preferably, R^a represents a hydrogen atom,

- R^b and R^c, which may be identical or different, represent a hydrogen atom or a linear or branched (Ci-C4)alkyl group; preferably, R^b and R^c represent a hydrogen atom, - R^d represents a linear or branched (Ci-C4)alkyl group; preferably, R^d represents a methyl group;

- p is an integer greater than or equal to 2, and optionally of at least one unit of formula (II):

in which formula (II):

- q denotes an integer greater than or equal to 2, and

- R^a represents a hydrogen atom or a linear or branched (Ci-C4)alkyl group; preferably, R^a represents a hydrogen atom; and optionally of at least one unit of formula (III):

in which formula (III):

- 1 represents an integer greater than or equal to 2, and

- R represents a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated, aromatic or non-aromatic, cyclic or acyclic hydrocarbon-based chain comprising from 1 to 10 carbon atoms; preferably, R represents a (Ci-Ce)alkyl group, in particular methyl;

- R^a represents a hydrogen atom or a linear or branched (Ci-C4)alkyl group; preferably, R^a represents a hydrogen atom; and ii) water; iii) one or more crosslinking agents; and iv) optionally one or more cosmetic active agents chosen from a) dyestuffs other than rhodamine B, b) active agents for caring for keratin materials, c) UV- screening agents, and d) mixtures thereof.

According to a preferred embodiment, the treatment process according to the invention comprises the application of at least iv) a cosmetic active agent as defined above and hereinbelow, to keratin materials, notably the skin and/or the lips and/or the eyelashes and/or the eyebrows.

According to a preferred embodiment, the process according to the invention comprises the application i) of at least one (co)polymer as defined previously, the optical or geometrical isomers thereof and/or the solvates thereof, such as the hydrates, or of a composition containing same, the application ii) of at least water, iii) at least one crosslinking agent and the application iv) of at least one cosmetic active agent chosen from a) dyestuffs other than rhodamine B, b) active agents for caring for keratin materials, notably the skin and/or the lips and/or the eyelashes and/or the eyebrows, c) UV-screening agents, and d) mixtures thereof; more preferentially, a) the cosmetic active agent(s) are chosen from dyestuffs other than rhodamine B. Water ii) may be applied at the same time as i), iii) or iv), when iv) is present, or else at the same time as i) and iii), and optionally iv).

Water ii) may also be applied before i), iii) and optionally iv).

According to a preferred embodiment, water is at least applied at the same time as i); in other words, i) and ii) are applied simultaneously, i) also possibly being applied in the presence or absence of ii) water, and when iv) is present, iv) also possibly being applied in the presence or absence of ii) water.

The application of ingredients i), ii), iii) and optionally iv) to keratin materials, notably the skin and/or the lips and/or the eyelashes and/or the eyebrows, leads to deposits on said keratin materials, notably the skin and/or the lips and/or the eyelashes and/or the eyebrows, which have very good water resistance.

The inventors have thus found, surprisingly, that the application of ingredients i), ii), iii) and optionally iv) to keratin materials, notably the skin and/or the lips and/or the eyelashes and/or the eyebrows, leads to deposits on said keratin materials, notably the skin, which have good resistance to external attacking factors, for instance water, oils, notably edible oils, sweat and/or sebum, and thus have very good hold over time.

Advantageously, the deposits obtained via the processes according to the invention are also very comfortable. They are not tacky and do not transfer. The deposits obtained via the processes according to the invention may also be glossy. The visual appearance of the deposits is moreover very satisfactory.

Example

Methods and Measurements

Skin application a) One -step protocol

The polyvinyl alcohol compounds bearing acetoacetate functions, the crosslinking agents and optionally the cosmetic active agents are mixed together using a Speed Mixer (2 minutes - 3500 rpm) before application. The system remains fluid long enough to allow application to the substrate.

The compositions are applied to a Bioskin type vitro support from Maprecos (Bioskin plate #10) (elastomeric skin- simulating support) using a film spreader (wet thickness of 100 pm). The deposit is left to dry for 24 hours.

After 24 hours of drying, the deposits are evaluated according to the protocols described hereinbelow. b) Two-step protocol

A first composition, termed the “base coat”, is applied to a Bioskin type vitro support from Maprecos (Bioskin plate #10) (elastomeric skin- simulating support) using a film spreader (wet thickness of 100 pm). The deposit is left to dry for 24 hours.

After this first gesture, a second composition, termed the “top coat”, is applied in the same manner.

The deposit is left to dry for 24 hours.

The deposits are evaluated according to the protocols described hereinbelow.

Resistance to olive oil/sebum/water

0.5 mL of olive oil, sebum or water is applied to the film of formulation. After 5 minutes, the olive oil, sebum or water is removed by wiping 15 times with cotton wool. The deterioration of the film following contact with the drop of attacking agent is thus examined. In the case of a two-step protocol, for each combination, evaluations are performed on the “base coat” composition alone after drying, and on the system of “base coat” + “top coat” compositions after drying, the objective being to observe the cosmetic properties improved by such combinations.

The resistance is evaluated according to the following scale:

+++: Cosmetic property evaluated as highly effective, no attack of the deposit, which is as it was originally;

++: Cosmetic property evaluated as moderately effective, a little transfer but the deposit is as it was originally;

+: Cosmetic property evaluated as poor, the deposit is slightly altered and some transfer is observed.

0: Cosmetic property evaluated as unsatisfactory, the deposit is completely degraded and there is a lot of transfer to the cotton wool. Resistance to adhesive tape

A piece of adhesive tape (Scotch® Magic™ 810 from 3M; w = 19 mm, L = 5 cm) is applied to the deposit. A weight of approximately 1070 g is placed on the piece of adhesive tape for 30 seconds. The piece of adhesive tape is then removed and mounted on a slide holder so as to properly observe the result. The adhesion of the film to the support is thus evaluated.

Fragmentation test of formulations on Bioskin

As for the tests of resistance to olive oil/sebum/water and to adhesive tape, films are applied to a sample of Bioskin. After drying for one day, the Bioskin plate is stretched ten times using manual force.

Next, the result is observed on the film (fragmentation or no fragmentation).

The evaluation is carried out as follows:

+++: Cosmetic property evaluated as highly effective;

++: Cosmetic property evaluated as moderately effective;

+: Cosmetic property evaluated as somewhat effective;

0: Cosmetic property evaluated as ineffective.
