HYDROCARBON-BASED OIL AND A SILICONE ELASTOMER, AND

PROCESS USING THE SAME The present invention relates to compositions for making up and/or caring for human keratin materials, such as the skin, the lips and keratin fibres, in particular the eyelashes, comprising polymer particles, at least one hydrocarbon-based oil and at least one silicone elastomer conveyed in a second oil.

These compositions are well known and, although they have specific properties as a function of their use, there has been a very clear tendency for some time now to develop compositions whose persistence is improved. This avoids, on the one hand, the need to reapply the composition too often and, on the other hand, reduces transfer thereof onto supports with which the made-up areas might come into contact (clothing, cups, etc.) or else their removal via the action of sebum or external agents (food, rain, etc.).

This is why compositions for which this property is sought generally comprise at least one film-forming agent. This agent is quite often a polymer, which is in a solubilized form or dispersed in one of the phases of the composition. It allows the composition, once applied, to form after drying a film that is more cohesive, adherent and persistent on the support. One of the problems encountered with such film-forming agents lies in the fact that they cause discomfort when used.

To begin with, it is not uncommon for their presence in compositions to make these compositions more tacky and often more difficult to apply.

In addition, this sensation of discomfort often persists after the composition has dried, since, once dry, the resulting deposit may leave a relatively rigid film, giving an impression of tautness and of drying-out, and occasionally causes a mask effect on the skin.

Compositions are thus sought which comprise at least one film-forming agent, which do not have the drawbacks mentioned above.

One subject of the invention is thus a composition comprising particles of at least one polymer that is surface-stabilized with a stabilizer, the polymer of the particles being a Ci-C ₄ alkyl (meth)acrylate polymer; the stabilizer being an isobornyl (meth)acrylate polymer chosen from isobornyl (meth)acrylate homopolymer and statistical copolymers of isobornyl (meth)acrylate and of Ci-C ₄ alkyl (meth)acrylate present in an isobornyl (meth)acrylate/Ci-C ₄ alkyl (meth)acrylate weight ratio of greater than 4, at least one hydrocarbon-based oil and at least one silicone elastomer conveyed in at least one second oil.

A subject of the invention is also a process for making up and/or caring for keratin materials, in particular the skin, the lips and keratin fibres such as the eyelashes and the eyebrows, which consists in applying said composition. The reason for this is that it has been found that the composition according to the invention leads to compositions that are easy to apply, with very good glidance, and which leave a sensation of softness on application. The deposits obtained are also non-tacky and remain comfortable while at the same time having good persistence.

However, other advantages will emerge more clearly on reading the description and the examples that follow.

It should be noted that, in the remainder of the description, unless otherwise indicated, the limits indicated for a range are included in that range.

The expressions "at least one" and "several" are used without distinction. Hydrocarbon-based oil

The composition according to the invention comprises a hydrocarbon-based oil.

This oil may be volatile (saturating vapour pressure greater than or equal to 0.13 Pa measured at 25°C) or non-volatile (saturating vapour pressure less than 0.13 Pa measured at 25°C).

Preferably, the hydrocarbon-based oil is volatile.

The hydrocarbon-based oil is an oil (non-aqueous compound) that is liquid at room temperature (25°C).

The term "hydrocarbon-based oil" means an oil formed essentially from, or even consisting of, carbon and hydrogen atoms, and optionally oxygen and nitrogen atoms, and not containing any silicon or fluorine atoms. It may contain alcohol, ester, ether, carboxylic acid, amine and/or amide groups.

The hydrocarbon-based oil may be chosen from hydrocarbon-based oils containing from 8 to 16 carbon atoms, and especially:

- branched Cs-Ci6 alkanes, for instance Cs-Ci6 isoalkanes of petroleum origin (also known as isoparaffins), for instance isododecane (also known as 2,2,4,4,6-pentamethylheptane), isodecane, isohexadecane and, for example, the oils sold under the trade name Isopar or Permethyl,

- linear alkanes, for instance n-dodecane (C12) and n-tetradecane (CM) sold by Sasol under the respective references Parafol 12-97 and Parafol 14-97, and also mixtures thereof, the undecane-tridecane mixture, the mixtures of n- undecane (Cn) and of n-tridecane (C13) obtained in Examples 1 and 2 of patent application WO 2008/155 059 from the company Cognis, and mixtures thereof, - short-chain esters (containing from 3 to 8 carbon atoms in total) such as ethyl acetate, methyl acetate, propyl acetate or n-butyl acetate,

- hydrocarbon-based oils of plant origin such as triglycerides consisting of fatty acid esters of glycerol, the fatty acids of which may have chain lengths varying from C ₄ to C2 ₄ , these chains possibly being linear or branched, and saturated or unsaturated; these oils are especially heptanoic or octanoic acid triglycerides, or alternatively wheatgerm oil, sunflower oil, grapeseed oil, sesame seed oil, corn oil, apricot oil, castor oil, shea oil, avocado oil, olive oil, soybean oil, sweet almond oil, palm oil, rapeseed oil, cottonseed oil, hazelnut oil, macadamia oil, jojoba oil, alfalfa oil, poppy oil, pumpkin oil, marrow oil, blackcurrant oil, evening primrose oil, millet oil, barley oil, quinoa oil, rye oil, safflower oil, candlenut oil, passion-flower oil and musk rose oil; shea butter; or else caprylic/capric acid triglycerides, for instance those sold by the company Stearineries Dubois or those sold under the names Miglyol 810 ^® , 812 ^® and 818 ^® by the company Dynamit Nobel,

- synthetic esters such as oils of formula R1COOR2 in which Ri represents a linear or branched fatty acid residue containing from 1 to 40 carbon atoms and R2 represents an, in particular, branched hydrocarbon-based chain containing from 1 to 40 carbon atoms, on the condition that Ri + R ₂ >10, for instance purcellin oil (cetostearyl octanoate), isopropyl myristate, isopropyl palmitate, C12 to C15 alkyl benzoates, hexyl laurate, diisopropyl adipate, isononyl isononanoate, 2-ethylhexyl palmitate, isostearyl isostearate, 2- hexyldecyl laurate, 2-octyldecyl palmitate, 2-octyldodecyl myristate, alkyl or polyalkyl heptanoates, octanoates, decanoates or ricinoleates such as propylene glycol dioctanoate; hydroxylated esters such as isostearyl lactate, diisostearyl malate and 2-octyldodecyl lactate; polyol esters and pentaerythritol esters, - fatty alcohols that are liquid at room temperature, with a branched and/or unsaturated carbon-based chain containing from 12 to 26 carbon atoms, for instance octyldodecanol, isostearyl alcohol, oleyl alcohol, 2-hexyldecanol, 2- butyloctanol and 2-undecylpentadecanol;

- a mixture thereof.

More particularly, the content of hydrocarbon-based oil(s) ranges from 20% to 75% by weight, more particularly from 30% to 75% by weight and preferably from 40% to 60% by weight, relative to the weight of the composition.

This hydrocarbon-based oil may be provided totally or partly with the surface- stabilized polymer particles, in particular when these particles are introduced into the composition in the form of a pre-prepared dispersion of surface- stabilized polymer particles. In this case, the hydrocarbon-based oil present in the composition represents at least the non-aqueous medium of the dispersion of surface-stabilized polymer particles.

It may also be provided as a second oil conveying the silicone elastomer which will be described later.

Advantageously, the hydrocarbon-based oil is apolar (thus formed solely from carbon and hydrogen atoms). The hydrocarbon-based oil is preferably chosen from hydrocarbon-based oils containing from 8 to 16 carbon atoms and better still from 12 to 16 carbon atoms, in particular the apolar oils described previously.

Preferentially, the hydrocarbon-based oil is isododecane. More particularly, the isododecane content ranges from 20% to 75% by weight, more particularly from 30% to 75% by weight and preferably from 40% to 60% by weight, relative to the weight of the composition. It should be noted that the hydrocarbon-based oil(s), in particular isododecane, may constitute the only oil(s) of the composition, or may be present in a predominant weight content relative to the other oil(s) that may be present in the composition.

In accordance with a particular embodiment of the invention, if the composition contains one or more non-volatile oils, their content advantageously does not exceed 20% by weight and preferably does not exceed 15% by weight relative to the weight of the composition, and better still does not exceed 10% by weight relative to the weight of the composition.

In accordance with a more particular embodiment of the invention, the content of non-volatile hydrocarbon-based oil(s) does not exceed 5% and more particularly does not exceed 2% by weight relative to the weight of the composition, or even the composition is free of non-volatile oil(s).

Additional silicone oils The composition according to the invention may also comprise at least one additional volatile or non-volatile, and preferably volatile, silicone oil.

The term "silicone oil" means an oil containing at least one silicon atom, and especially containing Si-O groups.

Among the additional volatile silicone oils that are suitable for use, examples that may be mentioned include volatile linear or cyclic silicone oils, especially those with a viscosity≤ 8 centistokes (8*10 ^"6 m ² /s) and especially containing from 2 to 7 silicon atoms, these silicones optionally comprising alkyl or alkoxy groups containing from 1 to 10 carbon atoms.

As volatile silicone oils that may be used, mention may be made especially of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, cyclopentadimethylsiloxane, decamethylcyclopentasiloxane dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane heptamethylhexyltrisiloxane, heptamethyloctyltrisiloxane hexamethyldisiloxane, octamethyltrisiloxane, decamethyltetrasiloxane and dodecamethylpentasiloxane, and mixtures thereof.

As non-volatile silicone oils, mention may be made of non-phenyl non-volatile silicone oils, for instance polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS), PDMSs comprising aliphatic groups, in particular alkyl or alkoxy, which are pendent and/or at the end of the silicone chain; these groups each comprising from 2 to 24 carbon atoms. An example that may be mentioned is cetyl dimethicone sold under the commercial reference Abil Wax 9801 from Evonik Goldschmidt.

Non-volatile phenyl silicone oils optionally comprising one or more dimethicone fragments (-(CH ₃ ) ₂ -SiO-) are also suitable for use, for instance phenyl trimethicones, phenyl dimethicones, phenyltrimethylsiloxydiphenylsiloxanes, diphenyl dimethicones and trimethylpentaphenyltrisiloxane, and mixtures thereof.

If the composition comprises any, the content of additional, preferably volatile, silicone oil(s) is between 1 % and 20% by weight and more particularly between 1 % and 15% by weight relative to the weight of the composition.

Preferably, the composition does not comprise more than 10% by weight of additional non-volatile oil, relative to the weight of the composition, and preferably does not contain any.

Polymer particles

The composition according to the invention moreover comprises particles, which are generally spherical, of at least one surface-stabilized polymer. Preferably, the particles are introduced into the composition in the form of a dispersion of particles, which are generally spherical, of at least one surface- stabilized polymer, in an oily medium, advantageously containing at least one hydrocarbon-based oil, as defined previously.

The polymer of the particles is a Ci-C ₄ alkyl (meth)acrylate polymer.

The Ci-C ₄ alkyl (meth)acrylate monomers may be chosen from methyl (meth)acrylate, ethyl (meth)acrylate, n-propyl (meth)acrylate, isopropyl (meth)acrylate, n-butyl (meth)acrylate and tert-butyl (meth)acrylate.

A Ci-C ₄ alkyl acrylate monomer is advantageously used. Preferentially, the polymer of the particles is a methyl acrylate and/or ethyl acrylate polymer.

The polymer of the particles may also comprise an ethylenically unsaturated acid monomer or the anhydride thereof, chosen especially from ethylenically unsaturated acid monomers comprising at least one carboxylic, phosphoric or sulfonic acid function, such as crotonic acid, itaconic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, maleic anhydride, styrenesulfonic acid, vinylbenzoic acid, vinylphosphoric acid, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylamidopropanesulfonic acid or acrylamidoglycolic acid, and salts thereof.

Preferably, the ethylenically unsaturated acid monomer is chosen from (meth)acrylic acid, maleic acid and maleic anhydride. The salts may be chosen from salts of alkali metals, for example sodium or potassium; salts of alkaline-earth metals, for example calcium, magnesium or strontium; metal salts, for example zinc, aluminium, manganese or copper; ammonium salts of formula NH ⁺ ; quaternary ammonium salts; salts of organic amines, for instance salts of methylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, ethylamine, 2-hydroxyethylamine, bis(2- hydroxyethyl)amine or tris(2-hydroxyethyl)amine; lysine or arginine salts. The polymer of the particles may thus comprise or consists essentially of 80% to 100% by weight of d-C ₄ alkyl (meth)acrylate and of 0 to 20% by weight of ethylenically unsaturated acid monomer, relative to the total weight of the polymer.

According to a first embodiment of the invention, the polymer consists essentially of a polymer of one or more Ci-C ₄ alkyl (meth)acrylate monomers.

According to a second embodiment of the invention, the polymer consists essentially of a copolymer of Ci-C ₄ (meth)acrylate and of (meth)acrylic acid or maleic anhydride.

The polymer of the particles may be chosen from:

methyl acrylate homopolymers

ethyl acrylate homopolymers

methyl acrylate/ethyl acrylate copolymers

methyl acrylate/ethyl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymers

methyl acrylate/ethyl acrylate/maleic anhydride copolymers

methyl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymers

ethyl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymers

methyl acrylate/maleic anhydride copolymers

ethyl acrylate/maleic anhydride copolymers.

Advantageously, the polymer of the particles is a non-crossl inked polymer.

The polymer of the particles preferably has a number-average molecular weight ranging from 2000 to 10 000 000 and preferably ranging from 150 000 to 500 000. In the case of a particle dispersion, the polymer of the particles may be present in the dispersion in a content ranging from 21 % to 58.5% by weight and preferably ranging from 36% to 42% by weight, relative to the total weight of the dispersion.

The stabilizer is an isobornyl (meth)acrylate polymer chosen from isobornyl (meth)acrylate homopolymer and statistical copolymers of isobornyl (meth)acrylate and of Ci-C ₄ alkyl (meth)acrylate present in an isobornyl (meth)acrylate/Ci-C ₄ alkyl (meth)acrylate weight ratio of greater than 4, preferably greater than 4.5 and even more advantageously greater than or equal to 5. Advantageously, said weight ratio ranges from 4.5 to 19, preferably from 5 to 19 and more particularly from 5 to 12.

Advantageously, the stabilizer is chosen from:

isobornyl acrylate homopolymers

statistical copolymers of isobornyl acrylate/methyl acrylate

statistical copolymers of isobornyl acrylate/methyl acrylate/ethyl acrylate statistical copolymers of isobornyl methacrylate/methyl acrylate

in the weight ratio described previously.

The stabilizing polymer preferably has a number-average molecular weight ranging from 10 000 to 400 000 and preferably ranging from 20 000 to 200 000.

Preferably, the stabilizer is soluble in the hydrocarbon-based oil(s), in particular soluble in isododecane.

The stabilizer is in contact with the surface of the polymer particles and thus makes it possible to stabilize these particles at the surface, in particular in order to keep these particles in dispersion in the non-aqueous medium of the dispersion.

According to a theory which should not limit the scope of the present invention, the inventors put forward the hypothesis that the surface stabilization of the Ci-C ₄ alkyl (meth)acrylate polymer particles results from a phenomenon of surface adsorption of the stabilizer onto the Ci-C ₄ alkyl (meth)acrylate polymer particles.

Advantageously, the combination of the stabilizer + polymer of the particles present in particular in the dispersion comprises from 10% to 50% by weight of polymerized isobornyl (meth)acrylate and from 50% to 90% by weight of polymerized Ci-C ₄ alkyl (meth)acrylate, relative to the total weight of the combination of the stabilizer + polymer of the particles. Preferentially, the combination of the stabilizer + polymer of the particles present in particular in the dispersion comprises from 15% to 30% by weight of polymerized isobornyl (meth)acrylate and from 70% to 85% by weight of polymerized Ci-C ₄ alkyl (meth)acrylate, relative to the total weight of the combination of the stabilizer + polymer of the particles.

When the polymer particles are provided in the composition in the form of a pre-prepared dispersion, the oily medium of this polymer dispersion comprises a first hydrocarbon-based oil. Reference may be made to that which has been indicated previously concerning this oil as regards its nature.

Advantageously, the hydrocarbon-based oil is apolar and preferably chosen from hydrocarbon-based oils containing from 8 to 16 carbon atoms, in particular the apolar oils described previously. Preferentially, the hydrocarbon-based oil is isododecane.

The polymer particles, in particular in the dispersion, preferably have an average size, especially a number-average size, ranging from 50 to 500 nm, especially ranging from 75 to 400 nm and better still ranging from 100 to 250 nm. In general, a dispersion of polymer particles that is suitable for use in the invention may be prepared in the following manner, which is given as an example. The polymerization may be performed in dispersion, i.e. by precipitation of the polymer during formation, with protection of the formed particles with a stabilizer.

In a first step, the stabilizing polymer is prepared by mixing the constituent monomer(s) of the stabilizing polymer, with a free-radical initiator, in a solvent known as the synthesis solvent, and by polymerizing these monomers. In a second step, the constituent monomer(s) of the polymer of the particles are added to the stabilizing polymer formed and polymerization of these added monomers is performed in the presence of the free-radical initiator.

When the non-aqueous medium is a non-volatile hydrocarbon-based oil, the polymerization may be performed in an apolar organic solvent (synthesis solvent), followed by adding the non-volatile hydrocarbon-based oil (which should be miscible with said synthesis solvent) and selectively distilling off the synthesis solvent.

A synthesis solvent which is such that the monomers of the stabilizing polymer and the free-radical initiator are soluble therein, and the polymer particles obtained are insoluble therein, so that they precipitate therein during their formation, is thus chosen.

In particular, the synthesis solvent may be chosen from alkanes such as heptane or cyclohexane. When the non-aqueous medium is a volatile hydrocarbon-based oil, the polymerization may be performed directly in said oil, which thus also acts as synthesis solvent. The monomers should also be soluble therein, as should the free-radical initiator, and the polymer of the particles which is obtained should be insoluble therein.

The monomers are preferably present in the synthesis solvent, before polymerization, in a proportion of 5-20% by weight. The total amount of monomers may be present in the solvent before the start of the reaction, or part of the monomers may be added gradually as the polymerization reaction proceeds. The free-radical initiator may especially be azobisisobutyronitrile or tert-butyl peroxy-2-ethylhexanoate.

The polymerization may be performed at a temperature ranging from 70 to 1 10°C.

The polymer particles are surface-stabilized, when they are formed during the polymerization, by means of the stabilizer.

The stabilization may be performed by any known means, and in particular by direct addition of the stabilizer, during the polymerization.

The stabilizer is preferably also present in the mixture before polymerization of the monomers of the polymer of the particles. However, it is also possible to add it continuously, especially when the monomers of the polymer of the particles are also added continuously.

From 10% to 30% by weight and preferably from 15% to 25% by weight of stabilizer may be used relative to the total weight of monomers used (stabilizer + polymer of the particles). The polymer particle dispersion advantageously comprises from 30% to 65% by weight and preferably from 40% to 60% by weight of solids, relative to the total weight of the dispersion. Moreover, the composition according to the invention advantageously comprises a content of surface-stabilized polymer particles, described previously, of between 5% and 55% by weight, advantageously 5% to 50% by weight, more particularly from 8% to 45% by weight and preferably from 10% to 40% by weight relative to the weight of the composition (content expressed as active material).

Plasticizer

According to one embodiment of the invention, the composition comprises at least one plasticizer. In the case where the polymer particles are provided in the form of a dispersion, the plasticizer is then advantageously present in said oily dispersion.

The plasticizer(s) may be chosen from tri-n-butyl citrate, tripropylene glycol monomethyl ether (INCI name: PPG-3 methyl ether) and trimethyl pentaphenyl trisiloxane (sold under the name Dow Corning PH-1555 HRI Cosmetic Fluid by the company Dow Corning). These plasticizers make it possible to improve the mechanical strength of the polymer film. The plasticizer may be present in a content ranging from 2% to 50% by weight relative to the total weight of the polymer particles, preferably from 2% to 40% by weight and even more particularly less than 20% by weight relative to the total weight of the polymer particles. Silicone elastomer conveyed in an oil

The composition according to the invention comprises at least one organopolysiloxane elastomer (also referred to as silicone elastomer) conveyed in a second oil, in particular in the form of an organopolysiloxane elastomer gel.

The term "organopolysiloxane elastomer" or "silicone elastomer" means a soft, deformable organopolysiloxane with viscoelastic properties and especially with the consistency of a sponge or soft sphere. Its modulus of elasticity is such that this material withstands deformation and has limited stretchability and contractability.

This material is capable of regaining its original shape after stretching.

It is more particularly a crosslinked silicone elastomer.

The silicone elastomer particles are conveyed in the form of a gel formed from an elastomeric organopolysiloxane included in at least one second oil chosen from hydrocarbon-based oils and silicone oils, or mixtures thereof.

In these gels, the organopolysiloxane particles are often non-spherical particles. Preferably, said oil is a silicone oil and/or a hydrocarbon-based oil, which may be volatile or non-volatile. That which has been detailed previously regarding the additional hydrocarbon-based oils and silicone oils remains valid here and reference may be made thereto. Preferably, the second oil, conveying the silicone elastomer, is chosen from volatile oils, more particularly from volatile hydrocarbon-based oils, preferably from volatile apolar hydrocarbon-based oils. In accordance with a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the second oil is the same as the hydrocarbon-based oil, and even more preferentially isododecane.

Non-emulsifying organopolysiloxane elastomer

Thus, the organopolysiloxane elastomer may be obtained by crosslinking addition reaction of diorganopolysiloxane containing at least one hydrogen bonded to silicon and of diorganopolysiloxane containing ethylenically unsaturated groups bonded to silicon, especially in the presence of a platinum catalyst; or by dehydrogenation crosslinking condensation reaction between a diorganopolysiloxane containing hydroxyl end groups and a diorganopolysiloxane containing at least one hydrogen bonded to silicon, especially in the presence of an organotin; or by crosslinking condensation reaction of a diorganopolysiloxane containing hydroxyl end groups and of a hydrolysable organopolysiloxane; or by thermal crosslinking of organopolysiloxane, especially in the presence of an organoperoxide catalyst; or by crosslinking of organopolysiloxane via high-energy radiation such as gamma rays, ultraviolet rays or an electron beam.

Preferably, the organopolysiloxane elastomer is obtained by crosslinking addition reaction (A) of diorganopolysiloxane containing at least two hydrogens each bonded to a silicon, and (B) of diorganopolysiloxane containing at least two ethylenically unsaturated groups bonded to silicon, especially in the presence (C) of a platinum catalyst.

In particular, the organopolysiloxane elastomer may be obtained by reaction of dimethylpolysiloxane bearing dimethylvinylsiloxy end groups and of methylhydrogenopolysiloxane bearing trimethylsiloxy end groups, in the presence of a platinum catalyst. Compound (A) is the base reagent for the formation of organopolysiloxane elastomer, and the crosslinking is performed by addition reaction of compound (A) with compound (B) in the presence of the catalyst (C). Compound (A) is in particular an organopolysiloxane containing at least two hydrogen atoms bonded to different silicon atoms in each molecule.

Compound (A) may have any molecular structure, in particular a linear-chain or branched-chain structure or a cyclic structure.

Compound (A) may have a viscosity at 25°C ranging from 1 to 50 000 centistokes, especially so as to be readily miscible with compound (B).

The organic groups bonded to the silicon atoms of compound (A) may be alkyl groups such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, octyl; substituted alkyl groups such as 2-phenylethyl, 2-phenylpropyl or 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl; aryl groups such as phenyl, tolyl, xylyl; substituted aryl groups such as phenylethyl; and substituted monovalent hydrocarbon-based groups such as an epoxy group, a carboxylate ester group or a mercapto group.

Compound (A) may thus be chosen from trimethylsiloxy-terminated methylhydropolysiloxanes, trimethylsiloxy-terminated dimethylsiloxane/methyl-hydrosiloxane copolymers, and dimethylsiloxane/methylhydrosiloxane cyclic copolymers. Compound (B) is advantageously a diorganopolysiloxane containing at least two lower alkenyl groups (for example C2-C ₄ ); the lower alkenyl group may be chosen from vinyl, allyl and propenyl groups. These lower alkenyl groups may be located at any position on the organopolysiloxane molecule but are preferably located at the ends of the organopolysiloxane molecule. The organopolysiloxane (B) may have a branched-chain, linear-chain, cyclic or network structure but the linear-chain structure is preferred. Compound (B) may have a viscosity ranging from the liquid state to the gum state. Preferably, compound (B) has a viscosity of at least 100 centistokes at 25°C.

Besides the abovementioned alkenyl groups, the other organic groups bonded to the silicon atoms in compound (B) may be alkyl groups such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl or octyl; substituted alkyl groups such as 2- phenylethyl, 2-phenylpropyl or 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl; aryl groups such as phenyl, tolyl or xylyl; substituted aryl groups such as phenylethyl; and substituted monovalent hydrocarbon-based groups such as an epoxy group, a carboxylate ester group or a mercapto group.

The organopolysiloxanes (B) can be chosen from methylvinylpolysiloxanes, methylvinylsiloxane-dimethylsiloxane copolymers, dimethylpolysiloxanes comprising dimethylvinylsiloxy end groups, dimethylsiloxane- methylphenylsiloxane copolymers comprising dimethylvinylsiloxy end groups, dimethylsiloxane-diphenylsiloxane-methylvinylsiloxane copolymers comprising dimethylvinylsiloxy end groups, dimethylsiloxane- methylvinylsiloxane copolymers comprising trimethylsiloxy end groups, dimethylsiloxane-methylphenylsiloxane-methylvinylsiloxane copolymers comprising trimethylsiloxy end groups, methyl(3,3,3- trifluoropropyl)polysiloxanes comprising dimethylvinylsiloxy end groups, and dimethylsiloxane-methyl(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)siloxane copolymers comprising dimethylvinylsiloxy end groups. In particular, the organopolysiloxane elastomer may be obtained by reaction of dimethylpolysiloxane bearing dimethylvinylsiloxy end groups and of methylhydrogenopolysiloxane bearing trimethylsiloxy end groups, in the presence of a platinum catalyst. According to another alternative form, compound (B) may be an unsaturated hydrocarbon-based compound containing at least two lower alkenyl groups (for example C2-C ₄ ); the lower alkenyl group may be chosen from vinyl, allyl and propenyl groups. These lower alkenyl groups may be located in any position of the molecule, but are preferably located at the ends. By way of example, mention may be made of hexadiene, in particular of 1 ,5-hexadiene. Advantageously, the sum of the number of ethylenic groups per molecule of compound (B) and of the number of hydrogen atoms bonded to silicon atoms per molecule of compound (A) is at least 5.

It is advantageous for compound (A) to be added in an amount such that the molecular ratio of the total amount of hydrogen atoms bonded to silicon atoms in compound (A) to the total amount of all the ethylenically unsaturated groups in compound (B) is within the range from 1 .5/1 to 20/1 .

Compound (C) is the catalyst for the crosslinking reaction, and is especially chloroplatinic acid, chloroplatinic acid-olefin complexes, chloroplatinic acid- alkenylsiloxane complexes, chloroplatinic acid-diketone complexes, platinum black and platinum on a support.

Catalyst (C) is preferably added in an amount of from 0.1 to 1000 parts by weight and better still from 1 to 100 parts by weight, as clean platinum metal, per 1000 parts by weight of the total amount of compounds (A) and (B).

The elastomer is advantageously a non-emulsifying elastomer.

The term "non-emulsifying" defines organopolysiloxane elastomers not containing any hydrophilic chains, and in particular not containing any polyoxyalkylene units (especially polyoxyethylene or polyoxypropylene) or any polyglyceryl units.

The organopolysiloxane elastomer particles are preferably conveyed in the form of a gel formed from an elastomeric organopolysiloxane included in at least one hydrocarbon-based oil and/or one silicone oil, as defined below. In these gels, the organopolysiloxane particles may be spherical or non- spherical particles.

Spherical non-emulsifying elastomers that may be used include, for example, those sold under the names DC 9040, DC 9041 , DC 9509, DC 9505 by the company Dow Corning.

Use may also be made of those sold under the names KSG-6, KSG-15, KSG-16, KSG-18, KSG-41 , KSG-42, KSG-43 and KSG-44 by the company Shin-Etsu; Gransil SR 5CYC Gel, Gransil SR DMF 10 Gel and Gransil SR DC556 Gel from the company Gransil RPS from Grant Industries; 1229-02- 167, 1229-02-168 and SFE 839 from the company General Electric.

According to a preferred embodiment, the composition according to the invention comprises, as organopolysiloxane elastomer conveyed in an oil, a non-emulsifying elastomer, preferably spherical, preferably chosen from the compounds sold under the names DC 9040, DC 9041 , DC 9509, DC 9505 by the company Dow Corning. According to one particular embodiment, elastomers may be used as a mixture with a cyclic silicone oil. An example that may be mentioned is the mixture of crosslinked organopolysiloxane/cyclopentasiloxane or a mixture of crosslinked organopolysiloxane/cyclohexasiloxane, for instance Gransil RPS D5 or Gransil RPS D6 from the company Grant Industries.

Emulsifying organopolysiloxane elastomer

According to another embodiment, the composition according to the invention comprises, as organopolysiloxane elastomer conveyed in a second oil, an emulsifying elastomer. The term "emulsifying organopolysiloxane elastomer" means an organopolysiloxane elastomer comprising at least one hydrophilic chain, such as polyoxyalkylenated organopolysiloxane elastomers and polyglycerolated silicone elastomers.

The emulsifying organopolysiloxane elastomer may be chosen from polyoxyalkylenated organopolysiloxane elastomers.

The polyoxyalkylenated organopolysiloxane elastomer is a crosslinked organopolysiloxane elastomer that may be obtained by crosslinking addition reaction of diorganopolysiloxane containing at least one hydrogen bonded to silicon and of a polyoxyalkylene containing at least two ethylenically unsaturated groups. Preferably, the polyoxyalkylenated organopolysiloxane elastomer is obtained by crosslinking addition reaction (A1 ) of diorganopolysiloxane containing at least two hydrogens each bonded to a silicon, and (B1 ) of polyoxyalkylene containing at least two ethylenically unsaturated groups, especially in the presence (C1 ) of a platinum catalyst, as described, for instance, in patents US 5 236 986, US 5 412 004 and US 2010/0 330 01 1 .

In particular, the organopolysiloxane may be obtained by reaction of polyoxyalkylene (especially polyoxyethylene and/or polyoxypropylene) bearing dimethylvinylsiloxy end groups and of methylhydrogenopolysiloxane bearing trimethylsiloxy end groups, in the presence of a platinum catalyst.

The organic groups bonded to the silicon atoms of compound (A1 ) may be alkyl groups containing from 1 to 18 carbon atoms, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, octyl, decyl, dodecyl (or lauryl), myristyl, cetyl or stearyl; substituted alkyl groups such as 2-phenylethyl, 2-phenylpropyl or 3,3,3- trifluoropropyl; aryl groups such as phenylethyl; and substituted monovalent hydrocarbon-based groups such as an epoxy group, a carboxylate ester group or a mercapto group.

Advantageously, the polyoxyalkylenated organopolysiloxane elastomers may be formed from divinyl compounds, in particular polyoxyalkylenes containing at least two vinyl groups, which react with Si-H bonds of a polysiloxane. Polyoxyalkylenated elastomers are especially described in patents US 5 236 986, US 5 412 004, US 5 837 793, US 5 81 1 487 and US 2010/0 330 01 1 , to which reference may be made.

Examples 11 : foundation

The following compositions, the ingredients of which are given in the table below, are prepared.

The amounts are indicated as weight of starting materials.

Protocol for preparing said compositions The desired amount of polymer particle dispersion according to Synthesis Example 1 is weighed out, and the pigments are then added and the whole is homogenized (Rayneri blender, room temperature, 10 minutes).

The isododecane is then added, followed by the silicone elastomer (KSG- 320) and the whole is homogenized for a further 10 minutes.

Evaluation of the composition:

Tack evaluation

The degree of tack on drying is evaluated in vivo:

- a dab (0.05 g) of formula is placed on the skin of the forearm,

- the formula is spread uniformly with the fingers,

- during the drying of the foundation, the person evaluating the composition touches the deposit of formula on the skin every 5 seconds to evaluate the degree of tack.

Results

A composition whose texture is fluid and which applies very easily with good glidance is obtained; the application time is short.

The deposit is very light and is not tacky during or after drying. It is

homogeneous, matt and very soft.

No composition transfer marks are observed when the skin is rubbed with a paper handkerchief, when dry or in the presence of sebum. Examples 12, 13 and 14 : lipsticks The following compositions, the ingredients of which are collated in the table below, are prepared.

Protocol for preparing said compositions The pigment is ground in part of the isododecane three times with a three-roll mill so as to obtain a homogeneous, viscous paste.

The silicone wax is predissolved in part of the isododecane while hot so as to obtain a smooth, homogeneous mixture. The stabilized polymer particle dispersion, the silica aerogel, the predissolved silicone wax, the silicone elastomer and the remaining amount of isododecane are placed in a heating pan.

The whole is heated until a homogeneous mixture is obtained, and the pigmentary paste is finally added with stirring.

If necessary, the isododecane is topped up to compensate for the evaporation. Evaluation of the compositions:

Oil resistance test: The composition is applied to a Bioskin skin sample (25 μιτι thickness of the wet film).

The sample is left to dry for 24 hours at 35°C. After the drying step, a drop of olive oil is placed on the film of composition and left for 10 minutes.

The oil is then wiped five times using cotton wool. The integrity of the film after wiping with the cotton wool is evaluated to evaluate the oil resistance of the composition, on a scale ranging from 1 to 3 (1 : excellent resistance, 2:intermediate resistance, and 3: poor resistance).

Transfer test:

The composition is applied to a Bioskin skin sample (25 μιτι thickness of the wet film).

The sample is left to dry for 24 hours at 35°C.

After the drying step, a piece of adhesive tape is applied to the film of composition and removed at an angle of 180°.

The integrity of the film after removing the adhesive tape is evaluated on a scale ranging from 1 to 3 (1 : intact film, 2: intermediate peeling, and 3: total peeling). Results:

The compositions according to the invention are stable. They are easy to apply and leave a non-tacky, comfortable deposit (no impression of tautness or of drying-out), which shows very good oil resistance without any transfer.
