Definitions

  • DESCRIPTION TITLE Composition of single-phase appearance comprising a nonionic surfactant and an amphoteric surfactant
  • the present invention relates to a composition of single-phase appearance comprising a combination of a nonionic surfactant and of an amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactant, at least one fatty substance, in the presence of a propellant.
  • the invention also concerns an aerosol device containing said composition, and also to a process for the cosmetic treatment of keratin materials, in particular of human keratin materials such as the skin and the hair, using said composition. It is common practice to use detergent cosmetic compositions such as shampoos and shower gels, based essentially on surfactants, for washing keratin materials notably such as the hair and the skin.
  • compositions are applied to the keratin materials, which are preferably wet, and the foam generated by massaging or rubbing with the hands or a washing mitt makes it possible, after rinsing with water, to remove the diverse types of soiling initially present on the hair or the skin.
  • Shampoos and body cleansing products are usually in the form of lotions, gels, foams, creams or sprays. When these products are packaged in the form of sprays or in aerosol devices, they are generally only available in opaque containers since the compositions usually used do not have a sufficiently attractive appearance, notably in the presence of a propellant, or even in the presence of a liquefied propellant.
  • compositions that are more attractive, more fluid and clearer, or even transparent.
  • these compositions are generally not stable over time or with respect to temperature, which makes their application difficult and non-uniform and gives the consumer an unpleasant sensation.
  • a composition which does not have the drawbacks mentioned above, i.e. which has an attractive aesthetic appearance that is stable over time, which is easy to spread over the entire head of hair or the skin, and which has improved foaming and cleansing (or washing) properties, notably giving keratin materials a soft, pleasant feel.
  • composition of single-phase appearance comprising a combination of at least one nonionic surfactant and of at least one amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactant in the presence of at least one propellant, makes it possible to achieve the objectives presented above, and notably to propose a composition which is stable over time, combining an attractive aesthetic appearance with improved foaming properties.
  • One subject of the present invention is thus a composition of single-phase appearance comprising: (i) one or more nonionic surfactants, (ii) one or more amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactants, (iii) one or more propellants, and (iv) water, (v) one or more fatty substances with a melting point of less than or equal to 35°C at atmospheric pressure ; the weight ratio between the total content of surfactants and the total content of fatty substances (v) is greater than or equal to 1.
  • the composition according to the invention when it is dispensed by means of a conventional aerosol device, makes it possible in particular to dispense a uniform, firm and creamy mousse which holds well in the hand.
  • the foam formed from the composition according to the invention has good working qualities. It spreads easily and evenly over the keratin materials and has good conditioning and cleaning properties for the hair or the skin, and also good styling properties on the hair, where appropriate. After rinsing or not, the composition affords cosmetic properties to the keratin materials, and notably a pleasant feel.
  • the composition of the invention can be used in various cosmetic treatments of the skin and/or hair, such as cleansing compositions, conditioners or styling products. As a styling product, it notably affords good hold of the head of hair over time under both wet and dry conditions, while at the same time giving the head of hair volume, without making the hairstyle rigid.
  • the composition according to the invention also affords good curl definition, and also good curl hold.
  • the composition according to the invention gives the hair flexibility and volume, affording it a fluid movement, while at the same time maintaining a natural appearance. It also gives the hair a particularly soft, smooth and pleasant feel.
  • the head of hair styled using the composition of the invention is held in shape without being set rigid and the styling effects afforded thereto persist throughout the day.
  • the composition according to the invention has a single-phase appearance, which is preferably clear, or even transparent, which gives it a particularly attractive aesthetic appearance that is highly sought by users.
  • the propellant(s) when it is packaged in a pressurized device, such as an aerosol, the propellant(s) are dispersed in the composition, giving the composition a particularly aesthetic homogeneous appearance.
  • the aesthetic appearance of the composition according to the invention is also particularly enhanced when it is packaged in a container that is itself transparent.
  • the permanent dispersion of the propellant(s) renders them non- flammable, improving the safety of the final aerosol product and complying with certain regulations, notably American regulations.
  • certain regulations notably American regulations.
  • the composition according to the invention is stable over time, and also with respect to temperature. In particular, the appearance of the composition according to the invention remains significantly the same after two months of storage at room temperature (25°C).
  • the present invention also relates to an aerosol device comprising: - a container containing a composition as defined previously, and - a means for spraying said composition.
  • the present invention also relates to a process for the cosmetic treatment, preferably a washing and/or conditioning process, of keratin materials, in particular of human keratin fibres such as the hair and the skin, comprising the application to said keratin materials of a composition as previously defined, said application being optionally followed by rinsing after an optional leave-on time.
  • the present invention also relates to a process for washing and/or conditioning keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair, comprising the application to said keratin fibres of a composition as defined previously, said application being optionally followed by rinsing after an optional leave-on time.
  • the present invention also relates to a process for styling keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair, comprising the application to said keratin fibres of a composition as defined previously, said application being optionally followed by rinsing after an optional leave-on time.
  • two-phase or multi-phase appearance refers to a composition comprising at least two phases that are distinct from each other and superposed one on the other.
  • the cosmetic composition according to the present invention is of single- phase appearance.

  • the composition according to the invention is advantageously in the form of a clear to transparent fluid, preferably a transparent fluid.
  • the transparency of the composition according to the invention may be characterized by measuring its turbidity, by turbidimetry (in NTU units).

Description

DESCRIPTION TITLE: Composition of single-phase appearance comprising a nonionic surfactant and an amphoteric surfactant The present invention relates to a composition of single-phase appearance comprising a combination of a nonionic surfactant and of an amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactant, at least one fatty substance, in the presence of a propellant. The invention also concerns an aerosol device containing said composition, and also to a process for the cosmetic treatment of keratin materials, in particular of human keratin materials such as the skin and the hair, using said composition. It is common practice to use detergent cosmetic compositions such as shampoos and shower gels, based essentially on surfactants, for washing keratin materials notably such as the hair and the skin. These compositions are applied to the keratin materials, which are preferably wet, and the foam generated by massaging or rubbing with the hands or a washing mitt makes it possible, after rinsing with water, to remove the diverse types of soiling initially present on the hair or the skin. Shampoos and body cleansing products are usually in the form of lotions, gels, foams, creams or sprays. When these products are packaged in the form of sprays or in aerosol devices, they are generally only available in opaque containers since the compositions usually used do not have a sufficiently attractive appearance, notably in the presence of a propellant, or even in the presence of a liquefied propellant. Now, an increasing number of users of bodycare and haircare products are notably in search of compositions that are more attractive, more fluid and clearer, or even transparent. Moreover, these compositions are generally not stable over time or with respect to temperature, which makes their application difficult and non-uniform and gives the consumer an unpleasant sensation. Thus, there is a real need for a composition which does not have the drawbacks mentioned above, i.e. which has an attractive aesthetic appearance that is stable over time, which is easy to spread over the entire head of hair or the skin, and which has improved foaming and cleansing (or washing) properties, notably giving keratin materials a soft, pleasant feel. It has now been discovered that a composition of single-phase appearance comprising a combination of at least one nonionic surfactant and of at least one amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactant in the presence of at least one propellant, makes it possible to achieve the objectives presented above, and notably to propose a composition which is stable over time, combining an attractive aesthetic appearance with improved foaming properties. One subject of the present invention is thus a composition of single-phase appearance comprising: (i) one or more nonionic surfactants, (ii) one or more amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactants, (iii) one or more propellants, and (iv) water, (v) one or more fatty substances with a melting point of less than or equal to 35°C at atmospheric pressure ; the weight ratio between the total content of surfactants and the total content of fatty substances (v) is greater than or equal to 1. The composition according to the invention, when it is dispensed by means of a conventional aerosol device, makes it possible in particular to dispense a uniform, firm and creamy mousse which holds well in the hand. Furthermore, the foam formed from the composition according to the invention has good working qualities. It spreads easily and evenly over the keratin materials and has good conditioning and cleaning properties for the hair or the skin, and also good styling properties on the hair, where appropriate. After rinsing or not, the composition affords cosmetic properties to the keratin materials, and notably a pleasant feel. By virtue of its formulation and its improved working qualities and foaming qualities, the composition of the invention can be used in various cosmetic treatments of the skin and/or hair, such as cleansing compositions, conditioners or styling products. As a styling product, it notably affords good hold of the head of hair over time under both wet and dry conditions, while at the same time giving the head of hair volume, without making the hairstyle rigid. In the case of curly hair, the composition according to the invention also affords good curl definition, and also good curl hold. In particular, the composition according to the invention gives the hair flexibility and volume, affording it a fluid movement, while at the same time maintaining a natural appearance. It also gives the hair a particularly soft, smooth and pleasant feel. The head of hair styled using the composition of the invention is held in shape without being set rigid and the styling effects afforded thereto persist throughout the day. The composition according to the invention has a single-phase appearance, which is preferably clear, or even transparent, which gives it a particularly attractive aesthetic appearance that is highly sought by users. Notably, when it is packaged in a pressurized device, such as an aerosol, the propellant(s) are dispersed in the composition, giving the composition a particularly aesthetic homogeneous appearance. The aesthetic appearance of the composition according to the invention is also particularly enhanced when it is packaged in a container that is itself transparent. Furthermore, the permanent dispersion of the propellant(s) renders them non- flammable, improving the safety of the final aerosol product and complying with certain regulations, notably American regulations. It has also been found that the composition according to the invention is stable over time, and also with respect to temperature. In particular, the appearance of the composition according to the invention remains significantly the same after two months of storage at room temperature (25°C). The present invention also relates to an aerosol device comprising: - a container containing a composition as defined previously, and - a means for spraying said composition. The present invention also relates to a process for the cosmetic treatment, preferably a washing and/or conditioning process, of keratin materials, in particular of human keratin fibres such as the hair and the skin, comprising the application to said keratin materials of a composition as previously defined, said application being optionally followed by rinsing after an optional leave-on time. The present invention also relates to a process for washing and/or conditioning keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair, comprising the application to said keratin fibres of a composition as defined previously, said application being optionally followed by rinsing after an optional leave-on time. The present invention also relates to a process for styling keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair, comprising the application to said keratin fibres of a composition as defined previously, said application being optionally followed by rinsing after an optional leave-on time. Other subjects, characteristics, aspects and advantages of the invention will emerge even more clearly on reading the description and the example that follows. In the text hereinbelow, unless otherwise indicated, the limits of a range of values are included in that range, notably in the expressions “between” and “ranging from ... to ...”. Moreover, the expression “at least one” used in the present description is equivalent to the expression “one or more”. In addition, the term “two-phase or multi-phase appearance” refers to a composition comprising at least two phases that are distinct from each other and superposed one on the other. The cosmetic composition according to the present invention is of single- phase appearance. For the purposes of the present invention, the term “of single-phase appearance” means that the composition according to the invention is constituted, at room temperature (25°C) and atmospheric pressure: - of a single phase; or - of two or more phases, in which one of the phases is dispersed in the other, such that the phases cannot be distinguished from each other with the naked eye. The composition according to the invention is advantageously in the form of a clear to transparent fluid, preferably a transparent fluid. The transparency of the composition according to the invention may be characterized by measuring its turbidity, by turbidimetry (in NTU units). In the context of the present invention, the turbidity measurements were performed using a UV-Vis Cary 100 model UV spectrophotometer sold by the company Agilent. It is also possible to measure the turbidity of the composition using a turbidimeter such as the HI 88713- ISO model from the company Hanna Instruments. Advantageously, the turbidity of the composition according to the invention, measured at room temperature (25°C) and atmospheric pressure, is less than or equal to 250 NTU units, preferably less than or equal to 200 NTU units, more preferentially less than or equal to 100 NTU units, better still less than or equal to 50 NTU units, and even more preferentially less than or equal to 20 NTU units. The transparency may also be assessed visually when the composition is packaged in a transparent container. According to this method, the composition is transparent if the printed characters on a sheet of paper placed behind the container can be read clearly. The printed characters are preferably in Arial font, font size 12 or larger. Preferably, the composition according to the invention is free of cationic surfactants. The term “free of cationic surfactants” means that the composition does not comprise any cationic surfactants, or that the total content of cationic surfactants is less than or equal to 0.1% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition. (i) The nonionic surfactants The composition according to the present invention comprises one or more nonionic surfactants. Examples of nonionic surfactants that may be used in the compositions of the present invention are described, for example, in the Handbook of Surfactants by M.R. Porter, published by Blackie & Son (Glasgow and London), 1991, pages 116-178.

Organopolysiloxanes are defined in greater detail in Walter Noll’s Chemistry and Technology of Silicones (1968), Academic Press. They may be volatile or non- volatile. When they are volatile, the silicones are more particularly chosen from those with a boiling point of between 60°C and 260°C, and even more particularly from: (i) cyclic polydialkylsiloxanes including from 3 to 7 and preferably from 4 to 5 silicon atoms.

Advantageously, the fatty substance(s) (ii) with a melting point of less than or equal to 35°C at atmospheric pressure are chosen from triglycerides, esters of fatty acids and/or fatty alcohols, linear or branched hydrocarbons of more than 16 carbon atoms of mineral or synthetic origin, silicones and mixtures thereof, and preferably from isopropyl myristate, coconut oil, caprylic/capric acid triglycerides, triacetin, liquid petroleum jelly, liquid paraffin, amodimethicone and mixtures thereof. The total content of the fatty substance(s) (v) with a melting point of less than or equal to 35°C at atmospheric pressure is preferably greater than or equal to 0.1% by weight; more preferentially, this total content ranges from 0.2% to 10% by weight and better still from 0.25% to 5% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition. The weight ratio (Ra) between the total content of surfactants (i.e. the sum of the total contents of nonionic (i), amphoteric or zwitterionic (ii) and optionally additional surfactants, different from (i) and (ii)) and the total content of fatty substances with a melting point of less than or equal to 35°C at atmospheric pressure, as previously defined, is advantageously greater than or equal to 1, preferably greater than or equal to 2; preferentially, this weight ratio (Ra) ranges from 5 to 40 and better still from 10 to 35.

The number-average size of the particles (or oil drops) may be determined in particular according to the known method of quasi-elastic light scattering. As a machine that may be used for this determination, mention may be made of the machine from Brookhaven equipped with an SX 200 optical bed (with a 532 nm laser) and a BI 9000 correlator. This machine gives a measurement of the mean diameter by photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS), which makes it possible to determine the numerical mean diameter from the polydispersity factor, which is also measured by the machine. This measurement may also be performed using a Zetasizer Nano ZS machine from Malvern Instruments which makes it possible to determine the mean diameter weighted by the scattered intensity (and not weighted by the mass, the number or the volume), and also the polydispersity index. In addition, the composition according to the invention has very low polydispersity, i.e. the particles (or oil drops) have very homogeneous size.

Examples I. Example 1 a. Preparation of the formulations Formulations A1 and A2 according to the invention and comparative formulation B1 below were prepared from the ingredients whose contents are indicated in the table below (as weight percentage of active material). [Table 1]
Figure imgf000063_0001
b. Protocol The formulation juices of compositions A1, A2 and B1 are prepared beforehand from the ingredients indicated in Table 1 above before introducing the propellants (i.e. the isobutane/propane/butane mixture). In other words, the formulation juices do not comprise any propellants. The formulation juices A1 and A2 thus obtained are transparent and of single- phase appearance, whereas the formulation juice B1 has a two-phase appearance. The turbidity and particle size measurements of the single-phase formulation juices A1 and A2 were performed before introducing the propellants and pressurizing the compositions. The turbidity was measured using a UV-Vis Cary 100 model UV spectrophotometer sold by the company Agilent. The number-average size of the oil drops in the formulation juices A1 and A2 was determined via the quasi-elastic light scattering method using a Zetasizer Nona ZS machine from Malvern Instruments. c. Results The results obtained for each of the formulation juices A1 and A2 are expressed in the table below. [Table 2]
Figure imgf000064_0001
The propellants (56/24/20 isobutane/propane/butane mixture) were then added to the formulation juices A1, A2 and B1, in a juice/gas ratio of 95/5. Compositions A1, A2 and B1 thus obtained were then packaged in transparent PET aerosol devices equipped with a DMPR229 dispenser and a 2×0.51 mm GI valve, and pressurized. The pressurized compositions A1 and A2 remain single-phase and transparent, whereas the pressurized composition B1 is not transparent. Moreover, the single-phase appearance and the transparency of compositions A1 and A2 are stable over time. In particular, after two months of storage at room temperature (25°C), the appearance of these formulations has not changed. Conversely, two distinct phases form rapidly with an opaque upper phase for the comparative composition B1. This phase distinction becomes more pronounced over time, notably after 24 hours of storage at room temperature. Compositions A1 and A2 according to the invention dispensed by means of the aerosol device make it possible to obtain a uniform, firm and creamy foam which holds well in the hand and is easily and uniformly applied to the entire head of hair. Compositions A1 and A2 also afford good detergency properties in addition to a conditioning effect on the hair thus treated.
Example 2 a. Preparation of the formulation Formulation A3 according to the present invention below was prepared from the ingredients whose contents are indicated in the table below (as weight percentage of active material). [Table 3]

b. Protocol The formulation juice A3 is prepared beforehand from the ingredients indicated in Table 3 above before introducing the propellants (i.e. the isobutane/propane/butane mixture). In other words, this formulation juice does not comprise any propellants. The formulation juice A3 thus obtained is transparent and of single-phase appearance. The turbidity and particle size measurements of the single-phase formulation juice A3 were performed before introducing the propellants and pressurizing the compositions. The turbidity was measured using a UV-Vis Cary 100 model UV spectrophotometer sold by the company Agilent. The number-average size of the oil drops in the formulation juice A3 was determined via the quasi-elastic light scattering method using a Zetasizer Nona ZS machine from Malvern Instruments. c. Results The results obtained for the formulation juice A3 are expressed in the table below. [Table 4]

The propellants (56/24/20 isobutane/propane/butane mixture) were then added to the formulation juice A3, in a juice/gas ratio of 95/5. Composition A3 thus obtained was then packaged in a transparent PET aerosol device equipped with a DMPR229 dispenser and a 2×0.51 mm GI valve, and pressurized. The pressurized composition A3 remains single-phased and transparent. Moreover, this single-phase appearance and its transparency are stable over time. In particular, after two months of storage at room temperature (25°C), the appearance of the composition has not changed. In addition, composition A3 according to the invention dispensed by means of the aerosol device makes it possible to obtain a uniform, firm and creamy foam which holds well in the hand and is easily and uniformly applied to the entire head of hair. This composition A3 also affords good styling properties in addition to a conditioning effect on the hair thus treated. Example 3 a.

Protocol The formulation juices of compositions L, M and N according to the present invention and comparative formulations O, P, Q and R are respectively prepared beforehand from the ingredients indicated in Tables 5 and 6 above before introducing the propellants (i.e. the isobutane/propane/butane mixture). The turbidity and particle size measurements of the juices were performed before introducing the propellants and pressurizing the compositions. The turbidity was measured using a UV-Vis Cary 100 model UV spectrophotometer sold by the company Agilent. The number-average size of the oil drops in the formulation juices was determined via the quasi-elastic light scattering method using a Zetasizer Nona ZS machine from Malvern Instruments. c. Results The results obtained for each of the formulation juices are expressed in the table below. [Table 7]
Figure imgf000067_0002
The propellants (56/24/20 isobutane/propane/butane mixture) were then added to the formulation juices L, M and N according to the present invention and the comparative compositions O, P, Q and R, in a juice/gas ratio of 95/5. The ensued compositions were then packaged in transparent PET aerosol devices equipped with a DMPR229 dispenser and a 2×0.51 mm GI valve, and pressurized. The pressurized compositions L, M and N are of single-phase appearance and transparent, whereas the pressurized compositions O, P, Q and R are not transparent and have two-phase appearance. Moreover, the single-phase appearance and the transparency of compositions L, M and N are stable over time. In particular, after two months of storage at room temperature (25°C), the appearance of these formulations has not changed. Conversely, two distinct phases form rapidly with an opaque upper phase for the comparative compositions O, P, Q and R. This phase distinction becomes more pronounced over time, notably after 24 hours of storage at room temperature. Example 4 a. Preparation of the formulation Formulation W according to the invention was prepared from the ingredients whose contents are indicated in the tables below (as weight percentage of active material). [Table 8]

b. Protocol The formulation juice of composition W according to the present invention is prepared beforehand from the ingredients indicated in Table 8 above before introducing the propellants (i.e. the isobutane/propane/butane mixture). The turbidity and particle size measurements of the juice were performed before introducing the propellants and pressurizing the composition. The turbidity was measured using a UV-Vis Cary 100 model UV spectrophotometer sold by the company Agilent. The number-average size of the oil drops in the formulation juice was determined via the quasi-elastic light scattering method using a Zetasizer Nona ZS machine from Malvern Instruments. c. Results The results obtained for the formulation juice are expressed in the table below. [Table 9]
