This invention concerns compositions in the form of a water-in-oil emulsion, comprising a silicone surfactant, a silicone elastomer powder and an organo- modified clay.

This invention also concerns the use of these compositions for makeup or care, in particular of the skin.

Consumers are increasingly looking for cosmetic makeup or skincare products that can be spread in the form of a deposit that should not be thick, but that should blend, on the contrary, as much as possible with the skin.

It is known to a person skilled in the art that very liquid products with a high oil content enable good spreading and skin penetration properties to be obtained.

Mention may be made, as examples of makeup products, of anhydrous liquid foundations, liquid lip gloss, or in the field of skincare products, hydrating oily products and emollients as well as suntan oils.

This very liquid nature can however be at the origin of problems of stability such as sedimentation of pigments, or difficulties for the consumers to use the product, even if the product is proposed in a container that is suited to its fluidity.

In order to overcome this disadvantage, those skilled in the art have tried increasing the viscosity of the product at rest while still desiring to retain its fluidity during application. Oily gelling agents were as such used, such as for example waxes or organo-modified clays, which are known to result in a substantial reduction in the viscosity of the product when it is applied.

However these gelling agents must be used, in order to obtain a substantial gain in viscosity, in proportions that can be detrimental to the optical properties of the deposit by giving it a dull, thick and artificial appearance.

It is therefore still necessary to find a technical solution that can make it possible to increase their gelling properties while retaining for the product spreading properties that are easy and pleasant and a light and natural deposit.

The aim of the invention is therefore to provide a stable composition that has adapted cosmetic properties, in particular intended for makeup or care of the skin. The aim of the invention is also to provide a composition with high viscosity and that can be used easily in particular for makeup or care of the skin.

This invention also has for purpose to provide a cosmetic composition that is easily applied and which leads to a light and natural deposit.

Thus, this invention relates to a composition in the form of a water-in-oil emulsion that comprises an aqueous phase dispersed in a continuous oily phase, wherein the continuous oily phase comprises:

- at least one organo-modified clay, with a content by weight ranging from 0.5% to 1 % relative to the total weight of said composition;

- at least one silicone elastomer powder coated with a silicone resin, with a content by weight ranging from 5% to 12% relative to the total weight of said composition; and

- at least one silicone surfactant having the following general formula (I):

where:

* the radicals R ² representjndependently of each other, a C C ₃ alkyl radical or a phenyl radical,

* m is between 5 and 300,

* R is a group of formula -(CH ₂ )pO-(C ₂ H ₄ 0) _x (C ₃ H ₆ 0) _y R ¹ wherein:

- R ¹ represents H, CH ₃ or CH ₂ CH ₃ ,

- p is an integer varying from 1 to 5,

- x varies from 1 to 100,

- y varies from 0 to 50,

the units (C ₂ H ₄ 0) and (C ₃ H ₆ 0) of R being able to be distributed randomly or by blocks,

with the content by weight of silicone surfactant being between 1 .4% and 3% relative to the total weight of said composition;

and wherein the dispersed aqueous phase comprises:

- water at a content by weight ranging from 15% to 25% relative to the total weight of said composition; and

- ethanol at a content by weight ranging from 8% to 18% relative to the total weight of said composition; said composition having a viscosity at 25°C ranging from 300 mPa.s to 600 mPa.s.

This invention is based on the association of an organo-modified clay with a silicone elastomer powder coated with a silicone resin, a particular silicone surfactant, water and ethanol in particular proportions that make it possible to obtain, unexpectedly, stable compositions, the viscosity of which is sufficiently high for easy use, which are easily applied and which lead to a light and natural deposit.

According to the invention, the compositions have the form of a water-in-oil emulsion of which the external oily phase contains the organo-modified clay and the silicone elastomer powder coated with a silicone resin.

Without being bound to any theory, the particular silicone surfactant increases the gelling properties of the organo-modified clay in the oily phase, which makes it possible to limit the amount of it.

Viscosity

The compositions of the invention are water-in-oil emulsions of which the viscosity, after one month at rest at ambient temperature (20-25°C), has a value ranging from 300 mPa.s to 600 mPa.s, and preferable from 320 mPa.s to 400 mPa.s.

When the viscosity is less or greater than this range, the emulsions have a stability over time that is insufficient.

As indicated hereinabove, the measurement of the viscosity is taken after storage of the product, one month at ambient temperature (20-25°C) then 24 hours in a room maintained at a constant temperature of 20°C.

The viscometer used is a Rheomat 200 from Lamy.

The measurement principle is based on determining the pair required to overcome the resistance of the fluid using an immersed element (moving or measuring body) rotating at a constant speed.

The mobile is chosen in such a way that the measurement is always between 10 and 90 du (integer of deviation units). In the framework of this invention, the moving body 2 (moving ranging from 1 (more fluid) to 5 (thicker)) is generally used.

The product is introduced into a bucket adapted to the moving body chosen and maintained at a temperature of 25°C using a thermostatically-controlled water bath. The apparatus is programmed as follows:

Mode: manual

Measurement system: 75 (fixed parameter regardless of the moving body used and programmed by the Lamy company)

Rotation speed: 200 rpm

The reading is taken after 10 minutes of rotation of the moving body. Organo-modified clay

Procedure

The constituents of phase A1 are weighed in the main beaker and stirred, at an ambient temperature using a Moritz mixer (600 to 700 rpm) for 15 minutes until homogenization.

Phase A2 is prepared separately by grinding three times, in a three-roll mill, the mixture of pigments and cyclohexasiloxane.

This phase A2 is then added into the main beaker while stirring using a Moritz mixer (700 to 800 rpm) for 30 minutes at ambient temperature.

Then the phase B1 is added under stirring in the Moritz (1000 - 1200 rpm) for 10 minutes, and the phase B2 by maintaining the stirring for 5 minutes.

Finally the phase C is introduced by stirring in the Moritz (1500 - 1600 rpm) for 10 minutes.

Stability

The stability of the product is evaluated visually, after storing for two months at 4, 25, 37 and 45°C.

Viscosity is measured according to the method described hereinabove in the description.

It was therefore observed that the silicone surfactant according to the invention makes it possible to obtain cosmetic compositions with satisfactory properties, in particular in terms of stability. Such properties are not however obtained by using other silicone surfactants in light of the results obtained for the comparative examples 2 and 3.

Examples 4 and 5: Influence of the rates of the constituents on stability

Example 4 (comparative) of foundation makes it possible to show that when the rate of surfactant of the invention in active material is less than the low value of the range according to the invention (1 .4%), stability is insufficient.

Example 5 (comparative) of foundation makes it possible to show that when the rate of organo-modified clay is higher than the high value of the range according to the invention (1 .0%) and when the rate of water is less than the low value of the range according to the invention (15%), stability is insufficient.
