Description

Cosmetic compositions for removing make-up and corresponding processes

area of disclosure

The present disclosure relates to cosmetic compositions and, in particular, to high-effective make-up removing compositions. Other aspects of the disclosure relate to methods of making and using the cosmetic compositions.

context of the disclosure

There is a trend to offer cosmetic products with improved long-lasting characteristics. For example, many mascara products have been developed which are impervious to water and sweat. Many cosmetic products designed to be waterproof or sweat-proof include noticeably large amounts of film-forming agent and are, therefore, difficult to remove. Make-up removers are therefore necessary to eliminate them effectively.

However, effective makeup removers tend to be harsh, can injure skin, and include unnatural ingredients. Consumers want cosmetics that have better tolerance and affinity with the skin. Additionally, consumers have become aware of and often avoid ingredients that are harmful to the skin. Additionally, people who use make-up remover are likely to apply make-up regularly and therefore seek the safest and most effective methods to remove make-up easily.

Accordingly, there is a continuing need for improved cosmetic compositions which are effective in removing makeup.

detailed description of the disclosure

Aspects of the disclosure relate to cosmetic compositions which have high efficacy in removing makeup compositions. Advantageously, the cosmetic compositions offer high effectiveness for removing make-up while not requiring a large quantity of oil. For example, some embodiments of the cosmetic composition provide high efficacy for makeup removal while simultaneously being substantially free or oil-free.

The inventors have found that cosmetic compositions having a unique combination of ingredients and produced under certain process conditions have high efficacy for makeup removal. Surprisingly, the inventors discovered that the unique combination of ingredients, in certain quantities and in a synergistic way, ensured an increased effectiveness of make-up removal. In addition, it has been found that certain steps in the production of cosmetic compositions (for example, mixing the ingredients of cosmetic compositions at a temperature of about 50°C or more until they are homogeneous) contribute to further improve the effectiveness of make-up removal.

Cosmetic compositions according to one aspect of the disclosure typically include:

(a) about 0.1 to about 3% by weight of a cationic surfactant-grafted halloysite compound;

(b) about 0.5 to about 10% by weight of a nonionic surfactant, a cationic surfactant, or a mixture thereof; And

(c) water,

wherein all weight percentages are based on the total weight of the cosmetic composition.

It has been surprisingly discovered that the unique combination of ingredients and specific treatment conditions can synergistically increase the effectiveness of the cosmetic composition for makeup removal. For example, the fact of combining and heating a mixture of the ingredients of the cosmetic composition to a temperature of approximately 50° C. or more significantly increases the effectiveness of the cosmetic composition for removing make-up. In some embodiments, the mixture of cosmetic composition ingredients is heated to a temperature of about 50°C to about 120°C, about 50°C to about 100°C, about 50°C to about 95°C, about 50°C to about 90°C, about 50°C to about 85°C, about 50°C to about 80°C, about 50°C to about 75 °C, from about 50°C to about 70°C, from about 50°C to about 65°C, or from about 50°C to about 60°C; about 55°C to about 120°C, about 55°C to about 100°C, about 55°C to about 95°C, about 55°C to about 90°C, about 55°C to about 85°C, about 55°C to about 80°C, about 55°C to about 75°C, about 55°C to about 70°C, about 55°C to about 65°C; from about 60°C to about 120°C, from about 60°C to about 100°C, from about 60°C to about 95°C, from about 60°C to about 90°C, from about 60°C to about 85°C, about 60°C to about 80°C, about 60°C to about 75°C, or about 60°C to about 70°C, including all intermediate ranges and sub-ranges. Although all of the ingredients can be heated to a temperature within the aforementioned ranges, in some embodiments less than all of the ingredients are heated to a temperature within the aforementioned ranges. For example, water can be added to the mixture of ingredients of the cosmetic composition after having been heated up to the sufficient quantity (Q.S.) in order to reach the expected weight of the cosmetic composition and/or to take account of evaporation.

The mixture of ingredients of the cosmetic composition can be maintained at a temperature comprised within one of the aforementioned ranges until the mixture is homogeneous. For example, the mixture of ingredients can be heated and/or held at temperatures within any of the aforementioned ranges while being mixed, agitated or otherwise. In some cases, the cosmetic composition ingredient mixture may be held at a temperature within one of the aforementioned ranges for about 1 minute or more, about 5 minutes or more, about 10 minutes or more, about 15 minutes or more , about 20 minutes or more, about 25 minutes or more, about 30 minutes or more, about 35 minutes or more, about 45 minutes or more, about 55 minutes or more, about 65 minutes or more, about 75 minutes or more, or about 90 minutes or more.

Aspects of the present disclosure allow cosmetic compositions to be formulated with reduced amounts of oil. For example, the cosmetic compositions can include about 20 wt% or less, about 15 wt% or less, about 10 wt% or less, about 8 wt% or less, about 6 wt% or less, about 5 % by weight or less, about 4% by weight or less, about 3% by weight or less, about 2% by weight or less, or about 1% by weight or less of oil, based on the total weight of the composition cosmetic. In some instances, the cosmetic composition is substantially free or oil-free.

Additionally or alternatively, the cosmetic composition may contain a reduced amount of anionic surfactants. For example, the cosmetic composition may contain about 10% by weight or less, about 8% by weight or less, about 6% by weight or less, about 5% by weight or less, about 4% by weight or less, about 3 % by weight or less, about 2% by weight or less, or about 1% by weight or less of anionic surfactants, relative to the total weight of the cosmetic composition. In certain embodiments, the cosmetic composition is substantially free or free of anionic surfactants.

The cosmetic compositions can, in certain cases, include micelles. The micelles can be formed from the halloysite compound grafted with a cationic surfactant, alone or in combination with other ingredients/components of the cosmetic composition.

Suitable components, such as those listed below, may be included or excluded from formulations for cosmetic compositions depending on the specific combination of other components, the form of the cosmetic composition, and/or the use of the cosmetic composition.

The terms "comprising", "having" and "including" are used in their open and non-limiting sense. The compositions and methods of this disclosure may include, consist, or consist essentially of the essential elements and limitations of the disclosure described herein, as well as any additional or optional ingredients, components, or limitations described herein or otherwise useful.

All percentages, parts and ratios given herein are based on the total weight of the compositions of this disclosure, unless otherwise indicated. All ranges and values disclosed herein are inclusive and combinable. The expression "inclusive" for a range of concentrations means that the limits of the range are included in the defined interval. For example, any value or point described here that falls within a range described here can be used as a minimum or maximum value to derive a subrange, etc. Also, all ranges provided are meant to include each specific range within the given ranges, as well as any combination of sub-ranges between them. Thus, a range of 1 to 5 specifically includes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, as well as subranges such as 2 to 5, 3 to 5, 2 to 3, 2 to 4, 1 to 4, etc.

Except in the working examples, or where otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities of ingredients and/or reaction conditions shall be understood to be modified in all cases by the term "about". , i.e. within +/- 5% of the indicated number.

In this document, the term “at least one” is interchangeable with the term “one or more” and therefore includes individual components as well as mixtures/combinations.

The term "substantially free" or "substantially free" as used herein means that there is less than about 5% by weight of a specific material added to a composition, based on the total weight of the compositions . However, the compositions may include less than about 2 wt%, less than about 1 wt%, less than about 0.5 wt%, less than about 0.1 wt%, less than 0, 01% by weight, or none of the specified material.

The term "active material", as used herein in relation to the percentage amount of an ingredient or raw material, refers to 100% activity of the ingredient or raw material. .

Throughout the disclosure, the phrase "a mixture thereof" may be used following a list of items, as shown in the following example where the letters A through F represent the items: "one or several elements selected from the group consisting of A, B, C, D, E, F, and a mixture thereof”. The phrase "a mixture thereof" does not require that the mixture include all of A, B, C, D, E, and F (although all of A, B, C, D, E, and F may be included). Rather, it indicates that a mixture of two or more of the elements A, B, C, D, E and F may be included. In other words, it is equivalent to the phrase "one or more items selected from the group consisting of A, B, C, D, E, F, and a mixture of two or more of A, B, C, D , E and F”.

Likewise, the term "a salt thereof" also refers to "salts thereof". Thus, when the disclosure refers to "an element selected from the group consisting of A, B, C, D, E, F, a salt thereof, and a mixture thereof", it is indicating that a or more of A, B, C, D, E and F may be included, one or more of a salt of A, a salt of B, a salt of C, a salt of D, a salt of E, and a salt of F may be included, or a mixture of any two of A, B, C, D, E, F, a salt of A, a salt of B, a salt of C, a salt of D, a salt of E , and a salt of F may be included. Salts mentioned throughout the disclosure can include salts having a counterion such as an alkali metal, alkaline earth metal or ammonium counterion. However, this list of counterions is not exhaustive.

"Volatile" as used herein means having a flash point below about 100°C. "Non-volatile", as used herein, means having a flash point above about 100°C.

The term "polymers", as defined herein, includes homopolymers and copolymers formed from two or more different types of monomers.

The term "INCI" is an abbreviation of International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients, which is a naming system provided by the International Nomenclature Committee of the Personal Care Products Council to describe personal care ingredients.

Some of the various component categories identified may overlap. In such cases where an overlap may exist and the composition includes both components (or the composition includes more than two overlapping components), an overlapping compound does not represent more than one component. For example, a fatty acid can be characterized as both a nonionic surfactant and a fatty compound. If a particular composition includes both a nonionic surfactant and a fatty compound, a single fatty acid will serve only as the nonionic surfactant or only as the fatty compound (the single fatty acid does not serve as both the nonionic surfactant and the fatty compound). fatty compound).

(Assessment of Ex. A-N and Comp. 1-8)

Exemplary Compositions A-N and Comparative Compositions 1-8 were evaluated for their ability to remove mascara. Comparative Compositions 7 and 8 were commercially available products having the following ingredient lists.

Comparative composition 7: AQUA / WATER, HEXYLENE GLYCOL, GLYCERINE, DISODIUM COCOAMPHODIACETATE, DISODIUM EDTA, POLOXAMER 184, MYTRIMONIUM BROMIDE.

Comparative composition 8: WATER (AQUA), PEG-6 CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC GLYCERIDES, CUCUMIS SATIVUS (CUCUMBER) FRUIT EXTRACT, MANNITOL, XYLITOL, RHAMNOSE, FRUCTOOLIGOSACCHARIDES, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, DISODIUM EDTA, CETRIMONIUM BROMIDE

In order to evaluate the properties of the compositions to remove mascara, a water-repellent anhydrous mascara was applied in 30 passes to false eyelashes. The mascara was allowed to dry on the false eyelashes overnight at room temperature. After drying overnight, the amount of mascara deposited on the false eyelashes was determined.

The amount of mascara removed by Exemplary Compositions AN and Comparative Compositions 1-8 was estimated by wetting four pieces of cotton, each with 1 gram of a selected composition. The false eyelashes were then placed on a piece of BIOSKIN ^TM (SKINFX DS8 AXONCABLE) and covered by the first piece of cotton. A force of 450 grams was applied to the cotton ball, then the cotton ball was wiped over the false eyelashes 5 times to remove the mascara. The second piece of cotton was then placed on the false eyelashes, subjected to a force of 450 grams, then wiped 5 times over the false eyelashes to remove the mascara. This process was repeated with the third and fourth cotton rounds, which had each received 1 gram of the same composition. The false eyelashes were then dried for 1 hour and weighed to determine the amount of mascara removed. The results of the evaluation are shown in Table 3, below.
