Description:
NOVEL COSMETIC USES OF DISPERSANT POLYMERS ASSOCIATED WITH AT LEAST ONE PARTICLE CHOSEN FROM COLORING MATERIALS AND NON-COLORING FILLERS

The present invention relates to novel cosmetic uses of dispersant polymers, associated with at least one particle chosen from coloring materials and non- coloring fillers. The present invention also relates to novel cosmetic compositions, notably make up and optionally care cosmetic compositions and in particular for eyelashes.

Many grafted copolymers are used as dispersants or stabilizers of suspensions or emulsions. The main function of the backbone for this type of copolymer may be to be adsorbed on the surface in order to stabilize the particle or the substrate to be dispersed. And the grafts in a good solvent extend in the continuous phase so as to provide steric stabilization of the emulsion or of the suspension. This type of scheme prevails when in the case of emulsions, the copolymers used are amphiphilic copolymers with a hydrophobic backbone and hydrophilic grafts in order to meet the desired stabilization. For suspensions, the copolymers used may be amphiphilic copolymers or dual hydrophilic copolymers like super plasticizers used in cement.

In a first phase, the polymers were introduced into the cement in order to improve the application and handling properties. And in a second phase, they were also used for reducing the amount of water introduced into the cement slurries in order to improve the mechanical properties. This improvement corresponds to a decrease in the porosity of the cement in the solid state due to water introduced in excess.

Polymers of the polycarboxylate type are usually used in the fields of cement and for example they provide dispersant properties which are superior to those of sulfonates. For example, their complexing properties towards divalent and trivalent cations are clearly greater and by means of this phenomenon, they provide greater fluidity to cement and this for a longer period. The results obtained on the properties of the concrete encourage the use of polycarboxylates as superplasticizers.

These dispersant polymers to this day are used in the field of cements and have never been used for cosmetic applications. Thus, an object of the present invention consists of providing novel cosmetic compositions comprising dispersant polymers.

An object of the present invention is further to obtain a composition for coating keratin fibers, preferably a mascara, giving rise to a loading or covering deposit.

An object of the present invention is further to obtain a composition for coating keratin fibers, preferably a mascara, having good elongation properties for the eyelashes coated with such a composition.

An object of the present invention is further to obtain a composition for coating keratin fibers, preferably a mascara, having good bending properties for the eyelashes coated with such a composition.

An object of the present invention is further to obtain a composition for coating keratin fibers, preferably a mascara, having a good black intensity from a colorimetric and chromatic point of view.

According to a particular embodiment, the dispersant polymers consist of a main chain and of several grafted side chains optionally substituted at their end with an alkyl group comprising less than 6 carbon atoms.

Within the scope of the invention, and unless mentioned otherwise, the term of « main chain » encompasses the terms of « backbone chain » or « backbone » of the polymer. The main chain, comprising the greatest number of carbon atoms, differs from the side chains.

In other words, the polymers according to the invention consist of a main polymeric chain comprising a given function (carboxylic acid, or a salt or ester thereof) via which the side chains are bound.

The dispersant polymers may be represented as consisting of a given number of recurrent units comprising recurrent units derived from (meth)acrylic acids from their esters, from their salts and from mixtures thereof, and grafted units, derived from the previous ones, comprising a graft including at least one alkyleneoxy radical as defined above, if necessary substituted with an alkyl chain as defined above.

These compositions according to the invention are compositions prepared according to the following procedure:

For a volume of 100 ml: The copolymer SYNTRAN 5760 CG was introduced into a 200 ml container, and then was then stirred with a Rayneri device provided with a vane of the deflocculating type. Next pentylene glycol was added followed by the dispersant agent. After weighing silica powder (or Nylon® powder) in a stainless steel container, the latter was added slowly and gradually into the formulation (the stirring rate was able to be increased gradually, when necessary, in order to homogenize the formulation without generating any too significant vortex, the whole in order to avoid incorporation of air into the formulation). Next, black iron oxide was weighed in a stainless steel container, and added slowly and gradually. Finally the following constituents were added slowly and successively to the formulation: hydroxyethylcellulose, gum Arabic, water and ethanol.

Resistance of the deposits

Resistance to water (smudge): DMA with immersion

Elasticimetry or DMA (Dynamic Mechanical Analysis)

The mechanical properties of films of polymers or formulations of mascaras are evaluated with the DMQ Q800 from TA Instruments equipped with the traction mobile with immersion.

This mobile gives the possibility of making tensile measurements in the presence of water via a small vessel where the film to be tested will be accommodated.

The mascara (or latex) formulation is spread out beforehand on a Teflon plate of 300μηι, the edges of which are covered with Millipore tape in order to facilitate detachment of the film. Drying is accomplished in a glove box at 30 °C and with 50% of relative humidity for 1 night.

A rectangular piece of dry film (24 hour drying) is die-cut.

The thickness of the film is measured with a Palmer micrometer and the length between the jaws is set by the immersed mobile. The width of the specimens is of 6 mm (set by the cutter).

The selected measurement procedure is the following:

Isotherm at room temperature 23 ^ +- 2°C

Oscillation amplitudes of 8 mm

Oscillation frequency 1 Hz

Immersion after 5 minutes of dry measurement and for about 5 minutes by adding 10 ml of demineralized water in the vessel.

The time dependent change of the storage modulus E' is followed over time notably after adding water in the immersion vessel.

The sensitivity to water of the formulation (or of the polymer) is evaluated by comparing the storage modulus E' before and after immersion. 3 types of behaviors may be noted:

Poor resistance to water: the modulus drops very rapidly from the immersion, the film may break or dissolve in water; the drop of the modulus is greater than 2 decades.

Medium resistance to water: the modulus E' decreases more moderately and is less than 2 decades after 5 minutes of immersion; the film remains cohesive but may elongate.

Very good resistance to water: the modulus E' is unchanged or is only slightly lowered (a drop always less than 1 decade even after 5 minutes of immersion); the film remains cohesive.

The compositions of the Examples 1 and 2 were subject to this water-resistance test. The moduli E' obtained for both of these compositions have a drop which is always less than 1 decade even after 5 minutes of immersion.

Thus, these compositions have very good resistance to water.

Resistance to flaking (flake): fragmentation test

The goal of this test is to determine the balance between the cohesiveness of the deposit and its adhesion on the elastomeric support FP40.

The tests are carried out by means of the texturometer Rheo TAXT2i used in a tensile mode at a rate of 0.1 mm/s.

The composition of the example is deposited in the center of an elastomeric part of the FP40 type with a length Of 60 mm, a width of 10 mm and a thickness of 2 mm, over a total surface of 20x10 mm 2 by means of stencils. The stencils are selected according to the dry extract of the mascara in order to obtain a dry film with a thickness of 50 μηι.

The drying of the films is carried out in a glove box at 30 'Ό and with 50% humidity for 1 h or 24h.

The thereby prepared specimens are subject to traction at a controlled rate (0.1 mm/s). The observation is carried out by means of a digital or video camera, in order to be able to quantify the damages (detachment, cracking) undergone by the film during the formation.

The type of possibly ascertained damage and the deformation percentage at which it occurred are noted. The composition of Example 2 was subject to this test. It was then seen that no crack or detachment occurs after 100% of elongation.

Thus, the resistance to flaking of the composition of Example 2 is very good.

Intensity of the black

Colorimetric results: L *

The coloration obtained with said compositions is visually evaluated and read with the Minolta Spectrocolorimeter (CM3700d, D65 illumination, angle 10°, SCI values) for colorimetric measurements L * .

In an L * a * b * system, the lower the value of L * , the darker is the color.

Chromaticity results:: C*

Chromaticity in the CIE system L * , a * , b * is calculated according to the following equation:

The hig er t e va ue o , t e more t e o ta ne co orat on s saturate .

The compositions according to the invention give the possibility of obtaining very good black intensity results.

In particular, the composition of Example 2 gives the possibility of obtaining the following values: C * = 0,6906 and L * = 24,521 .

Bending

Specimens of caucasien hair were used comprising 15 hairs with a length of 15 mm having a curvature arc having a radius of curvature comprised between about 6 and 7 mm. These test specimens are attached on a support so that the top of the specimens corresponds to the internal size of the arch formed by the specimen, the bottom of the specimen corresponding to the external side of the arc formed by the specimen.

Before applying the mascara, the curvature of the hair specimen was measured by taking a digital profile photo by means of the Macrozoom Navitar. Then, the mascara was applied on each specimen by means of a brush on the bottom of the specimen. 3 series of 10 passages of the brush were carried out with a waiting period of 2 minutes between each series of 10 passages.

20 minutes after the last passage of the brush on the specimen, the made up hair specimen was photographed.

The images are processed with the image analysis system Microvision and the average radius of curvature of the hairs is determined before making them up (Rc i) and the average radius of curvature of the hairs after making them up (Rcf), the radius of curvature being measured in millimeters.

The bending R is calculated according to the formula:

R = 1/ Rci— 1 / Rcf

The larger the value of R, the more significant is the measured bending of the eyelashes.

The following results are obtained:

Example 1 (invention): R = 0.030 mm "1

XFinity (not the invention) : R = 0.010 mm "1

It was thus seen that the bending properties of Example 1 according to the invention are very good.
