Composition comprising at least one acrylate-functionalized polymer and at least one silicone chosen from silicones functionalized with at least one mercapto or thiol group

The present invention relates to a composition intended for the cosmetic treatment of keratin fibres, in particular of human keratin fibres such as the hair, comprising one or more acrylate-functionalized polymers and one or more silicones chosen from silicones functionalized with one or more mercapto groups, amino silicones, and mixtures thereof.

The invention also relates to a cosmetic process for treating keratin fibres, in which said fibres are treated with one or more compositions comprising one or more acrylate-functionalized polymers and one or more silicones chosen from silicones functionalized with one or more mercapto groups, amino silicones, and mixtures thereof.

Hair is generally damaged and embrittled by the action of external atmospheric agents such as light and bad weather, and also by mechanical or chemical treatments, such as brushing, combing, dyeing, bleaching, permanent-waving and/or relaxing.

Hair is thus damaged by these various factors and may over time become dry, coarse, brittle or dull, especially in fragile areas, and more particularly at the ends.

Thus, to overcome these drawbacks, it is common practice to resort to haircare products using compositions intended to condition the hair appropriately, giving it satisfactory cosmetic properties, especially in terms of smoothness, sheen, softness, suppleness, lightness, a natural feel and good disentangling properties. The purpose of these compositions is thus to protect, repair, and transform the hair cosmetically in a long-lasting manner.

These haircare compositions, intended to be applied regularly to the hair, may be, for example, conditioning shampoos, hair conditioners, masks or sera, and may be in the form of gels, hair lotions or care creams that are more or less thick.

However, such compositions lead all too often to effects that are not sufficiently long-lasting and which become attenuated especially on washing. There is thus a real need to use on keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair, compositions which do not have the drawbacks mentioned previously, i.e. which are capable of conditioning keratin fibres in a long-lasting manner, in particular giving them shampoo-resistant cosmetic properties.

This aim is achieved by the present invention, one subject of which is especially a composition comprising (i) one or more aery late- functionalized polymers and (ii) one or more silicones chosen from silicones functionalized with one or more mercapto groups, amino silicones, and mixtures thereof.

The composition according to the invention makes it possible to condition keratin fibres satisfactorily, especially improving the disentangling and the soft feel, and doing so in a long-lasting manner.

Thus, the composition according to the invention makes it possible to give keratin fibres satisfactory and shampoo-resistant cosmetic properties.

In particular, the composition according to the invention makes it possible to afford improved disentangling and an improved soft feel, even after five shampoo washes, relative to a composition comprising an acrylate-functionalized polymer or a silicone functionalized with one or more mercapto groups.

Consequently, the keratin fibres may be protected, repaired and transformed cosmetically in a long-lasting manner.

A subject of the invention is also a cosmetic process for treating keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair, in which said fibres are treated with one or more compositions containing, taken together or separately in said composition(s), the following ingredients:

one or more acrylate-functionalized polymers,

- one or more silicones chosen from silicones functionalized with one or more mercapto groups, amino silicones, and mixtures thereof.

The process thus makes it possible to condition keratin fibres satisfactorily and in a long-lasting manner.

Another subject of the present invention concerns the use of the composition as defined previously for the conditioning of keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair.

The invention also relates to a multi-compartment device comprising at least a first compartment containing a composition comprising one or more acrylate- functionalized polymers and a second compartment containing one or more silicones chosen from silicones functionalized with one or more mercapto groups, amino silicones, and mixtures thereof.

II. Procedure

2.1. Procedure - application to the locks

The compositions described in the table above are applied to locks 1 to 9 on each side with a brush.

Locks 1 to 6 are heated for a time of 30 minutes at a temperature of 50°C and lock 7 is heated for a time of one hour at a temperature of 50°C on a hotplate in a closed heating bag.

A straightening iron is then applied to each of the locks 1 to 6 by making continuous passes along the locks.

The locks are left to stand at room temperature for a time of 24 hours before performing a first sensory evaluation of the disentangling (measurement TO).

Lock 8 is placed under the exposure of a UV lamp (λ = 365nm, 100 Watts) for 5 minutes, then the lock is left to stand at room temperature for a time of 24 hours before performing a first sensory evaluation of the disentangling (measurement TO).

Lock 9 is placed under the exposure of a LED lamp (17 Watts) for 10 minutes on each side, then the lock is left to stand at room temperature for a time of 24 hours before performing a first sensory evaluation of the disentangling (measurement TO).

2.2. Evaluation of the feel and of the disentangling After drying, disentangling tests with a comb were performed after immersion for 10 seconds in water, by passing a plastic comb through five times.

2.3. Procedure - shampoo resistance

Shampoo is applied to each of the locks, at a rate of 1 g per 2.8 g of locks, and the locks are then massaged for a time of 10 seconds. The shampoo is left on for a time of 3 minutes, before rinsing with water at a temperature of 37°C, 10 passes being performed. The lock is then dried.

This protocol is repeated five times and a second sensory evaluation of the disentangling is performed (measurement T5).

It is found that the compositions according to the invention lead to improvement in the disentangling.
