Cosmetic composition comprising a fine powder
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to cosmetic compositions used in the care and make-up field. This composition mainly comprising a continuous aqueous phase, a fatty phase and a fine and porous pulverulent copolyamide powder phase, is in the form of creamy, liquid or gelled compositions. This is in particular an emulsion, but it may also be a two-phase formulation or composition in which the fatty phase and aqueous phase are separate. The invention more particularly relates to cosmetic care and/or make-up compositions having a continuous aqueous phase in the case of an oil-in-water emulsion.
1. A composition comprising in % by weight relative to total composition, (i) 59.9 to 98.9% of an aqueous phase, (ii) 40 to 1% of a fatty phase and (iii) 0.1 to 30% of a pulverulent phase comprising copolymers of caprolactam and lauryl lactam (PA-6/12), said composition being an oil-in-water emulsion.
2. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the pulverulent phase is particles of spheroidal shape having an average diameter ranging from 1 μm to 200 μm.
3. The composition according to claim 2 , wherein the particles have a specific surface area between 1 and 25 m 2 /g.
4. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the aqueous phase comprises from 1 to 99 wt % of polyols relative to the total aqueous phase.
5. The composition according to claim 1 , comprising, in addition (% by weight relative to the total composition):
from 0.5 to 10% of surfactants;
from 0.01 to 2% of additives; and
from 0.005 to 10% of cosmetic active agents.
6. The composition according to claim 5 , wherein the additives are preservatives, fragrances, fillers that are different from the pulverulent phase, coloring substances, thickeners, emulsion stabilizers, or chelating agents.
7. The composition according to claim 5 , wherein the cosmetic active agents are moisturizers, UV screening agents, antiwrinkle agents, self-tanning agents, film-forming agents or antioxidants.
8. The composition according to claim 1 , that is a moisturizing, antiwrinkle and/or make-up-removing face care cream or fluid, a moisturizing and/or slimming body care cream or fluid, a waterproof or non-waterproof sun cream, a foundation, an eye shadow, a mascara, a blusher, a concealer or a body makeup product, a two-phase moisturizing or make-up-removing lotion.
9. A process for manufacturing a make-up and/or care product for the skin which gives the skin a soft feel and a matt and powdered appearance after application onto said skin, comprising producing said make-up or care product by combining a composition according to claim 1 and a cosmetic active agent.
10. A process for making up and/or caring for keratinous substances, comprising application to these substances of a composition according to claim 1 .
11. A composition comprising in % by weight relative to total composition, (i) 59.9 to 98.9% of an aqueous phase, (ii) 40 to 1% of a fatty phase and (iii) 0.1 to 30% of a pulverulent phase comprising copolymers of caprolactam and lauryl lactam (PA-6/12), said composition being an oil-in-water emulsion,
and wherein the pulverulent phase is particles of spheroidal shape having an average diameter of 1-200 μm, a specific surface area of 1-25 m 2 /g, said aqueous phase comprises 1-99% by weight of polyols relative to total aqueous phase, and, by weight relative to the total composition, (iv)
0.5 to 10% of surfactants;
0.01 to 2% of preservatives, fragrances, fillers different from the pulverulent phase, coloring substances, thickeners, emulsion stabilizers or chelating agents,
0.005 to 10% of moisturizers, UV screening agents, anti-wrinkle agents, self-tanning agents, film-forming agents or antioxidants.
