Abstract

The invention relates to a cosmetic composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion comprising: (i) at least one lipophilic surfactant with HLB less than or equal to 9, and (ii) at least one specific anionic surfactant comprising at least one sulfate and/or sulfonate function; said composition comprising from 0% to 8% by weight of additional surfactant(s) relative to the total weight of the composition. It also relates to the associated cosmetic process.

Claims (30)

1. A cosmetic composition having the form of an oil-in-water emulsion comprising:

i) at least one lipophilic surfactant with HLB less than or equal to 9,

(ii) at least one anionic surfactant comprising at least one group selected from the group consisting of (C6-C30)alkylsulfonates, (C6-C30)alkylamidesulfonates, (C6-C30)alkylarylsulfonates, alpha-olefin-sulfonates, paraffin-sulfonates, (C6-C30)alkylsulfoacetates, N-acyl(C6-C30)-N—(C1-C6)alkyltaurates, (C6-C30)acylisethionates, (C6-C30)alkylsulfolaurates, and salts thereof, and mixtures thereof;

said composition comprising from 0% to 8% by weight of additional surfactant(s) relative to the total weight of the composition,

wherein the cosmetic composition is phase inverted upon application, and

wherein the additional surfactant(s), if present, do not comprise at least one nonionic surfactant.

2. The cosmetic composition according to claim 1 , wherein said lipophilic surfactant is selected from the group consisting of (poly)glycerol esters comprising from 1 to 10 glycerol units and linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated C6-C24, fatty acid(s), polyglycerol esters comprising from 2 to 10 glycerol units and hydroxylated linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated C6-C24, fatty polyacids, polyglycerol ethers comprising from 2 to 10 glycerol units and C6-C24, esters of sorbitol and/or sorbitan and linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated C6-C24 fatty acid(s), esters of sucrose and C12-C18 fatty acid(s), esters of methylglucose and linear or branched C12-C18 fatty acid, ethers of glucose and C12-C22 fatty alcohol, esters of glycol or polyethylene glycol and a C12-C22 fatty acid, and mixtures thereof.

3. The cosmetic composition according to claim 1 , wherein said lipophilic surfactant is selected from the group consisting of polyglycerol diesters comprising from 2 to 10 glycerol units and hydroxylated fatty polyacids.

4. The cosmetic composition according to claim 1 , wherein said anionic surfactant is present from 0.2% to 2% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.

5. The cosmetic composition according to claim 1 , wherein said lipophilic surfactant is present from 2% to 7% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.

6. The cosmetic composition according to claim 1 wherein said anionic surfactant and said lipophilic surfactant are present according to an anionic surfactant/lipophilic surfactant mass ratio R of between 1/10 and 1/5.

7. The cosmetic composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises at least one polysaccharide.

8. The cosmetic composition according to claim 7 , wherein the polysaccharide is selected from the group consisting of scleroglucan gum, xanthan gum and derivatives thereof, guar gum, Lara gum, ghatti gum, sclerotium gum, starches, agar, agarose, carrageenans, lambda carrageenan and kappa carrageenan, carob flour, alginates, celluloses and derivatives thereof, hydroxypropylguar, pectins and gellan gum.

9. The cosmetic composition according to claim 7 , wherein the polysaccharide is selected from the group consisting of a combination:

scleroglucan gum and alginate,

xanthan gum and alginate, and

xanthan gum and guar gum.

10. The cosmetic composition according to claim 7 , wherein the polysaccharide content is between 0.2% and 3% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition.

11. The cosmetic composition according to claim 1 , further comprising one or more oils, selected from the group consisting of plant oils, alkane oils and ester oils.

12. The cosmetic composition according to claim 1 , further comprising one or more pigments having an average size by volume greater than 100 nm.

13. The cosmetic composition according to claim 1 , further comprising one or more tillers, and/or one or more pearlizers.

14. The cosmetic composition according to claim 1 , wherein the cosmetic composition further comprises at least one colorant.

15. A cosmetic composition having the form of an oil-in-water emulsion comprising:

i) at least one lipophilic surfactant with HLB less than or equal to 9,

(ii) at least one anionic surfactant comprising at least one group selected from the group consisting of (C6-C30)alkylsulfonates, (C6-C30)alkylamidesulfonates, (C6-C30)alkylarylsulfonates, alpha-olefin-sulfonates, paraffin-sulfonates, (C6-C30)alkylsulfoacetates, N-acyl(C6-C30)-N—(C1-C6)alkyltaurates, (C6-C30)acylisethionates, (C6-C30)alkylsulfolaurates, and salts thereof, and mixtures thereof;

said composition comprising from 0% to 8% by weight of additional surfactant(s) relative to the total weight of the composition,

wherein the cosmetic composition is stable after storage at 25° C. for one month and/or at 55° C. for 15 days, and

wherein the additional surfactant(s), if present, do not comprise at least one nonionic surfactant.

16. The cosmetic composition according to claim 15 , wherein the cosmetic composition further comprises at least one colorant.

17. A cosmetic treatment process for keratin materials, comprising applying the cosmetic composition as defined according to claim 1 to said keratin materials.
