Semi-permanent mascara compositions

0001The present specification generally discloses a semi-permanent cosmetic composition and a method for removing the same. Specifically, it is a mascara that can last for more than 24 hours on the eyelashes, eyebrows, and / or eyelids.

0002Emphasizing the beauty of the eyes is extremely important to consumers and has led to the development of a great variety of products in both the cosmetics and skin care fields. In particular, the emphasis on eyelash visibility has become a multi-billion dollar industry and continues to grow. Mascara is used to enhance the beauty of the eyes by coating the eyelashes to make them thicker, longer and thicker. As a result, consumers tend to be very fond of mascara and are often referred to as the cosmetics that have the greatest impact on the overall appearance. In fact, many women care about what they see when they don't wear mascara. Many women want to get the beauty benefits of mascara every day, all day long.

0003Generally, there are two types of mascara, water resistant and waterproof. Water resistant mascara can be removed with warm water and soap, while waterproof mascara is typically removed with a make-up remover product. Both types are typically removed during the same day they are applied. For this reason, there are many times in a lifetime when consumers cannot enjoy the beauty effects of mascara. Many consumers want the beautiful eyelashes that mascara constantly provides, but current technology is durable enough to withstand typical application stimuli such as abrasion, washing, sweating, and sleep. You can't do that because you don't. So far, products that claim to be effective for several days have a higher function as either eyelash dyeing or dye, and have the effect of darkening the eyelashes, but not the richness and length, that is, initially. A waterproof "long-lasting" mascara that does not retain its beauty for several days. However, "long" is a relative term, and existing long-lasting mascara omits reapplying during the day, but can be easily removed by the user with soap and water, or a makeup remover product. Is also designed. Current technology does not tolerate showers and sleep and is therefore not suitable for true semi-permanent application. Traditional eyelash dye products provide coloration, but not the darkening effect consumers desire for mascara products. Moreover, the beauty of such eyelash dye products tends to decline rapidly from the first day of application.

0004A new type of cosmetics is desired. Semi-permanent make-up is increasingly sought after by consumers who always want to look more beautiful (when doing home affairs, training in the gym, or swimming in the pool). This gives consumers more confidence in their appearance and gives them a sense of always being positive about what life brings. Also, the semi-permanent mascara technique, which provides all the mascara effects such as long, thick and beautiful eyelashes over many days, will save time as it does not require daily application or frequent modification of conventional techniques.

<p num="0005"> Therefore, it is typically desirable to provide a semi-permanent mascara that can withstand the stimuli from the surroundings faced by the use of the mascara for more than 24 hours. It is also desirable to provide a semi-permanent mascara that can withstand exposure to water and soap during showers and face washes. Furthermore, it is desirable to provide a semi-permanent mascara that exhibits good wear resistance.</p>

<p num="0006"> To solve the above problems, semi-permanent mascara compositions are disclosed herein. The semi-permanent mascara composition is about 17% to about 30% by weight of the film-forming agent and consists of a group consisting of tall oil glyceride, pentaerythritylloginate, glycerylloginate, and hydrogenated forms and mixtures thereof. Contains the film forming agent of choice. The semi-permanent mascara composition also contains from about 0.1% to about 14% by weight of colorant and from about 10% to about 15% by weight of disteardimonium hectorite. However, this semi-permanent mascara composition does not contain wax.</p>

0009"Mascara," "mascara formulation," and "mascara composition," as used herein, mean compounds that are applied to the eyelashes, eyelids, and / or eyebrows. The mascara compositions of the present invention may be formulated for topical application to mammalian keratin tissues for use in skin care products, cosmetics, and hair care products, the non-limiting use of which is an antiperspirant, deodorant. , Lotions (eg hand lotions and body lotions), skin care products (eg face and neck lotions, serums, sprays), sunrestanas, cosmetics (eg foundations, mascaras, concealers, cheeks, lipsticks, lip glosses, eyeliners, Eye shadows, eyebrow pencils), hair dyes, aftershave lotions, moisturizing / lubricating strips for shavings, shaving gel bars for shavings, women's care products, oral care products, and baby care products. In addition, a method using any of the above-mentioned compositions is also included in the meaning of the mascara composition. "Keratin tissue" as used herein refers to a keratin-containing layer that is placed as the outermost protective coating of mammals, including but not limited to skin, hair, and nails.

0010When used with respect to film, "smooth" means that when the film is viewed at a magnification of 200x, there are virtually no crack-like cuts on the surface of the film due to the fine particles protruding from the surface of the film. .. Examples of smooth films are described in more detail below, especially in FIG. Examples of non-smooth films are also described in more detail below, especially in FIGS. 4-6.

0011Semi-permanent mascara prescription The present invention relates to a semi-permanent mascara formulation that remains in the eyelashes and / or eyelids of a person who is applied in perfect condition for more than 24 hours, preferably more than 36 hours, and even more preferably more than 48 hours. The new semi-permanent mascara formulation achieves a long-lasting effect for several days with two formulation design elements. The first factor is the selection of the film-forming polymer. Various polymers were screened for film flexibility, abrasion resistance, and water and surfactant resistance. The loginate polymer used in the formulation was found to be the best combination of these properties.

0012The second factor is to balance the proportion of the film-forming polymer to other non-volatile materials in the formulation so that the polymer is sufficient for the formation of continuous phases. Since the concept of critical pigment volume concentration (CPVC) was introduced by Asbeck and Van Loo in 1949, it has been recognized in the coating industry that film properties are directly related to the volume concentration of solids contained. CPCV is just enough to wet the polymer matrix and fill the voids between the individual particles. At volume concentrations above CPVC, the polymer matrix is no longer a continuous phase. As the grain size of the solids decreases, the CPVC in a particular system increases. Studies have shown that pigment volume concentration affects many film properties such as gloss, film flexibility, and wear resistance. As the pigment volume concentration increases, the film flexibility decreases and the wear resistance does not change or improves. Above CPVC, the film becomes brittle and its wear resistance drops sharply. As the pigment volume concentration increases, so does the gloss, which remains low above CPVC.

0013Current mascara formulations use large amounts of wax (5-15%) and iron oxides (6-12%), but relatively small amounts of film-forming polymers (4-8%). The film formed is dominated by wax, which can have crystal dimensions greater than 20 micrometers and is jagged and rough in appearance. The pigments used are also relatively large and have a wide particle size distribution, usually in the range of 2-5 micrometers. Due to the use of large particles and relatively small amounts of polymer, current mascaras have a solid volume concentration that exceeds CPVC. As a result, current mascara films often have poor wear resistance and are extremely brittle, very easily peeled off.

0014A new semi-permanent formulation technique was designed so that the volume concentration of solids was below CPVC. This was achieved in two ways. First, only small particle size solids were used for both pigments and thickeners. In a preferred embodiment, the novel formulation technique thickens with only 10% to 15% by weight of disteardimonium hectorite clay particles (D90 &lt;10 micrometers) of the composition and 7% by weight of the composition. ~ 10% by weight jet mill Color with ground iron oxide (D90 &lt;1 micrometer). By minimizing the dimensions of all the particles in this system, the CPVC of the new mascara technology has risen, far surpassing conventional mascara. Second, in a preferred embodiment, a fairly large amount of film-forming polymer was used (17-30%) to ensure that the novel mascara was well below CPVC. The novel semi-permanent formulation technique forms a continuous polymer film with a smooth surface. Due to the volume concentration of solids below CPVC, it is much more resistant to delamination and adhesion due to stretching and wear than any current mascara technique. A further benefit of the continuous film construction of the new mascara formulation technology is that the smooth surface of the film results in a very glossy and very dark film appearance. Figure 1 shows the hypothesized film structure of the new semi-permanent formulation technology. Figure 2 shows the hypothesized film structure of the current mascara formulation technology.

0015Like many "waterproof" mascara formulations, the semi-permanent mascara of the present invention is an anhydrous dispersion (not an emulsion) composed of colorant particles dispersed in a matrix of film-forming agent and volatile solvent. In one embodiment, the novel semi-permanent formulation technique is an anhydrous dispersion containing isododecane as a volatile carrier, a combination of a loginate polymer as a film forming agent, and iron oxide as a colorant. Preferably, a clay network is used to stabilize the matrix. The important compositional components and characteristics are outlined below.

0016Membrane-forming polymer The essential component of the present invention is a film-forming polymer classified as a loginate or rosin ester. In a preferred embodiment, the semi-permanent mascara composition comprises a film-forming agent selected from the group consisting of tall oil glycerides, pentaerythrityl loginate, glyceryl loginate, and mixtures thereof. These materials are derived from rosin. Rosin is a solid resin obtained from softwood produced by heating a liquid resin to volatilize the volatile liquid terpene component. Rosin mainly consists of various resin acids, especially abietic acid. Rosin is typically obtained by distilling volatile terpentine from an oil-impregnated resin exuded from the wounds of a living pine tree to obtain gum rosin, or by separating tall oil, a by-product of the wood pulp industry. Obtained commercially by obtaining oil rosin.

0017The carboxylic acid group of rosin acid can be converted to an ester through reaction with various alcohols. Esterification of rosins alters the softening point, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, and melt viscosity of the material. Alcohols typically used to make rosin esters are methanol, triethylene glycol, glycerol, and pentaerythritol. Tall oil rosin is esterified with glycerol to form esters of tall oil glyceride, a mixture of resinous acids, logonic acid, and glycerol. Tall oil glycerides are available, for example, from Arizona Chemical Co. Glyceryl loginate is an ester of rosin acid and glycerol. Pentaerythritol loginate, sometimes referred to as pentaerythritol loginate, is an ester of rosin acid and pentaerythritol. It is used as a skin conditioning agent-moisturizer and thickener-non-aqueous in some cosmetic formulations. Pentaerythrityl loginate is commercially available, for example, from Eastman.

0018The conjugated double bond of the rosin makes the rosin susceptible to oxidation, isomerization, and other reactions. A common way to improve stability is to hydrogenate the rosin molecule. This is done by adding hydrogen to the double bond of the resin acid (typically catalyzed by a nickel compound or noble metal) to form a saturated ring structure. Hydrogenation significantly increases the resistance of the molecule to oxidation and improves its color. The hydrogenation process can be controlled so that the rosin is partially or completely hydrogenated. Hydrogenated rosin has certain advantages over non-hydrogenated rosin resin, including lighter color, improved stability, and reduced skin sensitization. Pentaerythrityl hydrogenated loginate (PHR), which is a hydrogenated form of pentaerythrityl loginate and glyceryl loginate, and glyceryl hydrogenated loginate (GHR) may be used in the present invention.

0019Film forming agents such as tall oil glyceride, pentaerythrityl loginate, pentaerythrityl hydrogenated loginate, glyceryl loginate, and glyceryl hydrogenated loginate are used in the present invention at higher concentrations than those already used in mascara. Be done.

0020Carrier solvent The semi-permanent mascara composition contains a carrier solvent to deliver the film-forming agent to the eyelashes or eyelids. In a preferred embodiment, the semi-permanent mascara composition comprises volatile carriers that rapidly volatilize from the surface of the eyelashes or eyelids, leaving the desired component. Volatile carriers are included in the composition from 10% to 85%, preferably from 15% to 80%, most preferably from 20% to 70%.

A set of Ardell 109 False Eyelashes® was cut to a length of 0.9524 cm and attached to a metal bar. Mascara was applied to the lashes sample 5 times using an Automated Mascara Applicator device. The sample was completely dried. Each eyelash was removed from the metal bar and glued to the SEM sample table with carbon tape. The ends of the eyelashes were fixed with silver paint. Samples were frozen in liquid nitrogen, transferred to an Alto 2500 sample chamber and thawed at -95 ° C for 10 minutes. Prior to observation, the sample was thinly coated with platinum.

FIG. 8 shows the difference in overall possession and persistence of mascara cosmetological effect with respect to the comparative mascara group. The model selected in this figure has a very light eyelash color, which is an excellent reference for product comparison. Eyelash dyeing products resulted in some darkness over several days, but the length of the eyelashes, the volume of the product, and the durability of the product were not comparable to the new semi-permanent prescription technology. All waterproof formulations tested provided initial cosmetological effects such as longer, thicker, richer eyelashes compared to bare eyelash images, while comparative waterproof mascara was standard applied, washed with water, and after sleep. Does not provide acceptable beauty at the beginning of the second day. Moreover, all of these products did not last beyond the second day.

Current long-lasting mascara products do not offer beauty for several days. Use a loginate film-forming polymer that has an excellent combination of stretch resistance, abrasion resistance, and water and surfactant resistance, and adjust the concentration of the polymer and other non-volatile components so that the product forms a continuous polymer film. It was discovered that the mascara prescription had a cosmetic effect for several days. Cryo SEM of mascara film on the lashes shows that a new semi-permanent formulation technique results in a continuous film with a smooth surface. This film form differs from other current mascara techniques with films that are separated by pigments, wax crystals, and other thickeners. Technical tests have demonstrated that the new semi-permanent formulation technique has good film flexibility, as well as water and surfactant resistance. However, current semi-permanent techniques and waterproof mascaras also have good water and surfactant resistance, and current waterproof mascaras have good film flexibility. The wear resistance of the new semi-permanent mascara differentiates it from current mascara products. Abrasion tests show that it had better water resistance, waterproofness, longevity, and better performance than current semi-permanent products. Consumer use studies over several days have shown that only the new semi-permanent prescription technology provided a cosmetological effect for several days.</p><p num="0077"> The dimensions and values disclosed herein should not be understood as being strictly limited to the exact numbers given.
