Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cosmetic composition for coating keratin fibres, and in particular the eyelashes or the eyebrows.
  • the said cosmetic composition is a composition for making up and/or caring for keratin fibres.
  • the present invention also relates to a process for coating keratin fibres in order to curl them.
  • the composition used may especially be in the form of an eyelash product such as a mascara, or an eyebrow product. More preferentially, the invention relates to a mascara.
  • the term "mascara” means a composition intended to be applied to the eyelashes: it may be an eyelash makeup composition, an eyelash makeup base (also known as a base coat), a composition to be applied over a mascara, also known as a top coat, or a cosmetic composition for treating the eyelashes.
  • the mascara is more particularly intended for human eyelashes, but also false eyelashes.
  • compositions for coating keratin fibres may be formed from at least one wax or a mixture of waxes dispersed in an aqueous liquid or organic solvent phase. They generally have a pasty texture and are conditioned in a container that is closed off by an applicator for the said composition.
  • This applicator may especially be in the form of a brush or a comb configured to take up the product contained in the container and to be placed in contact with the keratin fibres to be made up, such as the eyelashes or the eyebrows.
  • Compositions for coating keratin fibres may comprise an aqueous liquid phase and a fatty phase dispersed in the said aqueous phase by means of an emulsifying system.
  • the fatty phase may comprise a waxy phase.
  • the emulsifying system may comprise a surfactant.
  • Patent application WO 2010/014 328 describes a composition comprising particular polymers formulated as emulsions and having contractile properties, enabling the composition, once applied to the eyelash fringe, to curl the eyelashes.
  • a drawback associated with such compositions is their sensitivity to water.
  • the makeup film obtained after applying these compositions may disintegrate in the course of the day, allowing the grains to appear that become deposited around the eyes and form unsightly marks.
  • Patent application US 2009/0 053 270 discloses a particular polymer (A) used in aqueous phase combining a monomer (a) of methacrylic acid or a methacrylic acid salt with a monomer (b) chosen from several compounds and especially from isobornyl (meth) acrylate.
  • Patent application US 2009/0 047 308 discloses copolymers comprising at least two monomers containing particular acrylate or methacrylate groups, one having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of less than or equal to 20°C, the other having a Tg of greater than or equal to 20°C.
  • Patent application US 2010/0 080 763 also discloses particular flexible copolymers with a low Tg, formulated via an aqueous route.
  • One aim of the present invention lies in the development of a composition for coating keratin fibres and of a process for coating keratin fibres, which improves the curling of the eyelashes.
  • Another aim of the present invention is to produce a composition for coating keratin fibres that is resistant to water and especially to ambient humidity, sweat, tears and/or sebum.
  • the inventor has discovered that the use of particular polymers formulated in a volatile organic oil makes it possible to obtain a composition which, when applied to the eyelashes, gives them very good curling.
  • the explanation that the inventor gives to this phenomenon is that the formulation of a polymer termed as being rigid, and having both a high glass transition temperature (Tg) and a high molecular mass, in a large amount of volatile organic solvent makes it possible, firstly, to sufficiently plasticize this polymer to allow its deposition onto the eyelashes, and then, secondly, the evaporation of the volatile organic solvent from the composition causes gradual hardening of the film, which once again becomes rigid before total evaporation of the solvent.
  • Tg glass transition temperature
  • this property cannot be achieved if the glass transition temperature (Tg) and molecular mass criteria are not satisfied. This capacity to become rigid despite the residual presence of solvent will make it possible, during the evaporation of the remaining solvent, to bring about spontaneous folding of the eyelash. What is more, the fact that this composition is of essentially hydrophobic nature imparts good water resistance thereto and also to all the aqueous or water-soluble compounds that may have a negative impact on the wear property of the deposit (sweat, tears, atmospheric moisture, etc.).
  • one subject of the present invention is a cosmetic composition for coating keratin fibres and especially the eyelashes, comprising:
