Description

The invention relates to a cosmetic composition for keratin materials, especially the skin, the hair and the nails. The invention relates in particular to makeup compositions for the said keratin materials.

One of the objects of the patent application is to produce makeup compositions for keratin materials (skin, mucous membranes, fibre, eyelashes and integuments) that allow the application of a total transfer-resistant, glossy film with good comfort.

In the field of makeup, especially for the lips, formulators are in search of compositions that have a good level of gloss and good stability properties, and in particular which have no problems of exudation or phase separation or even of formation of grains.

Specifically, lip makeup compositions that are glossy or that have a glossy effect are generally sought. This gloss, which brings out the beauty of the lips, is generally obtained by formulating glossy oils and/or particles with glints. When formulation is performed with glossy oils, the makeup formulations then have the characteristic of being tacky. This tacky nature causes these formulations to leave marks on supports, for instance glasses or coffee cups.

Formulators are thus in search of starting materials and/or systems that can produce compositions whose deposit is characterized by comfort, gloss and a transfer-resistant effect, as well as good stability.

These objects, and others, are achieved by means of a composition containing, in a physiologically acceptable medium, a) a siloxane resin comprising the following units:

(i) (R¹₃SiO_1/2)_a

(ii) (R²₂SiO_2/2)_b

(iii) (R³SiO_3/2)_c and

(iv) (SiO_4/2)_d

with

R¹, R² and R³ independently representing an alkyl group containing from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, an aryl group, a carbinol group or an amino group,

a being between 0.05 and 0.5,

b being between 0 and 0.3,

c being greater than 0,

d being between 0.05 and 0.6,

a+b+c+d=1,

on condition that more than 40 mol % of the groups R³ of the siloxane resin are propyl groups, and b) at least one polar wax.

Preferably, the siloxane resin comprises the following units:

(i) (R¹₃SiO_1/2)_a

(iii) (R³SiO_3/2)_c and

(iv) (SiO_4/2)_d

with
R¹ and R³ independently representing an alkyl group containing from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, R¹ preferably being a methyl group and R³ preferably being a propyl group,

a being between 0.05 and 0.5 and preferably between 0.15 and 0.4,

c being greater than zero, preferably between 0.15 and 0.4,

d being between 0.05 and 0.6, preferably between 0.2 and 0.6 or alternatively between 0.2 and 0.55,

a+b+c+d=1,

on condition that more than 40 mol % of the groups R³ of the siloxane resin are propyl groups.

The siloxane resins that may be used according to the invention may be obtained via a process comprising the reaction of:

• • A) an MQ resin comprising at least 80 mol % of units (R¹₃SiO_1/2)_a and (SiO_4/2)_d
    • R¹ representing an alkyl group containing from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, an aryl group, a carbinol group or an amino group,
    • a and d being greater than zero,
    • the ratio a/d being between 0.5 and 1.5;
  • and
  • B) a propyl resin T comprising at least 80 mol % of units (R³SiO_3/2)_c,
    • R³ representing an alkyl group containing from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, an aryl group, a carbinol group or an amino group,
    • c being greater than zero,
  • on condition that at least 40 mol % of the groups R³ are propyl groups,
    in which the mass ratio A/B is between 95/5 and 15/85 and preferably the mass ratio A/B is 30/70.

Advantageously, the mass ratio A/B is between 95/5 and 15/85. Preferably, the ratio A/B is less than or equal to 70/30. These preferred ratios have proven to afford comfortable deposits due to the absence of percolation of the rigid particles of MQ resin in the deposit.

The compositions according to the invention may be in various forms, especially in the form of a powder, an anhydrous dispersion, a water/oil, water/wax, oil/water, multiple or wax/water emulsion, or a gel.

The resins that may be used according to the invention are especially those described in patent application WO 2005/075 542, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference.

The MQ-T propyl resin a) according to the invention comprises the following units:

(i) (R¹₃SiO_1/2)_a

(iii) (R³SiO_3/2)_c and

(iv) (SiO_4/2)_d

which are known in the prior art and which correspond, respectively, to M, D, T and Q units.

The amount of each unit present in the MQ-T propyl resin a) may be expressed as a mole fraction (i.e. a, b, c or d) of the total number of moles of all the units M, D, T and Q present in the MQ-T propyl resin a).

The value of a (mole fraction of M units) is between 0.05 and 0.5, or alternatively between 0.15 and 0.4.

The value of b (mole fraction of D units) is between 0 and 0.3, alternatively between 0 and 0.1, or alternatively between 0 and 0.05. Thus, the MQ-T propyl resin a) according to the invention may be free of D units, or alternatively may comprise up to 0.3 mole fraction of D units.

Preferably, the MQ-T propyl resin a) according to the invention is free of D units.

The radicals R¹, R² and R³ of the units of the MQ-T propyl resin independently represent an alkyl group containing from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, an aryl group, a carbinol group or an amino group.

The alkyl groups may be chosen especially from methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl and octyl groups. Preferably, the alkyl group is a methyl group or a propyl group.

The aryl groups may be chosen from phenyl, naphthyl, benzyl, tolyl, xylyl, xenyl, methylphenyl, 2-phenylethyl, 2-phenyl-2-methylethyl, chlorophenyl, bromophenyl and fluorophenyl groups, the aryl group preferentially being a phenyl group.

In the present invention, the term “carbinol group” means any group containing at least one hydroxyl radical bonded to a carbon (COH). The carbinol groups may thus contain more than one COH radical, for instance

If the carbinol group is free of aryl groups, it comprises at least 3 carbon atoms. If the carbinol group comprises at least one aryl group, it comprises at least 6 carbon atoms.

As examples of carbinol groups free of aryl groups and comprising at least 3 carbon atoms, mention may be made of the groups of formula R⁴OH in which R⁴ represents a divalent hydrocarbon-based radical comprising at least 3 carbon atoms or a divalent hydrocarbonoxy radical comprising at least 3 carbon atoms. As examples of groups R⁴, mention may be made of alkylene radicals such as —(CH₂)_x—, the value of x being between 3 and 10, —CH₂CH(CH₃)—, —CH₂CH(CH₃)CH₂—, —CH₂CH₂CH(CH₂CH₃)CH₂CH₂CH₂— and —OCH(CH₃)(CH₂)_x—, the value of x being between 1 and 10.

As examples of carbinol groups comprising aryl groups bearing at least 6 carbon atoms, mention may be made of the groups of formula R⁵OH in which R⁵ represents an arylene radical such as —(CH₂)_xC₆H₄—, x having a value between 0 and 10, —CH₂CH(CH₃)(CH₂)_xC₆H₄—, x having a value of between 0 and 10, —(CH₂)_xC₆H₄(CH₂)_x—, x having a value between 1 and 10. The carbinol groups comprising aryl groups generally comprise from 6 to 14 atoms.

According to the invention, the term “amino group” especially means groups of formula —R⁶NH₂ or —R⁶NHR⁷NH₂, R⁶ representing a divalent hydrocarbon-based radical containing at least 2 carbon atoms and R⁷ representing a divalent hydrocarbon-based radical containing at least 2 carbon atoms. The group R⁶ generally represents an alkylene radical containing from 2 to 20 carbon atoms. Examples of groups R⁶ that may be mentioned include ethylene, propylene, —CH₂CHCH₃—, butylene, —CH₂CH(CH₃)CH₂—, pentamethylene, hexamethylene, 3-ethylhexamethylene, octamethylene and decamethylene groups.

The amino groups are generally —CH₂CH₂CH₂NH₂ and —CH₂ (CH₃)CHCH₂ (H)NCH₃, —CH₂CH₂NHCH₂CH₂NH₂, —CH₂CH₂NH₂, —CH₂CH₂NHCH₃, —CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂NH₂, —(CH₂CH₂NH)₃H and —CH₂CH₂NHCH₂CH₂NHC₄H₉.

Preferably, R¹ represents a methyl group, R² represents a methyl group or a phenyl group, and R³ represents a propyl group.

Preferably, the MQ-T propyl resin a) according to the invention is free of units D, and R¹ represents a methyl group, and R³ represents a propyl group.

The siloxane units D, T or Q of the MQ-T propyl resin a) according to the invention may comprise hydroxyl groups (—OH) and/or alkoxy groups. Such siloxane units comprising hydroxyl and/or alkoxy groups are commonly present in siloxane resins having the general formula R_nSiO_(4-n)/2.

These hydroxyl groups typically result from the reaction of a hydrolysable group on the siloxane unit with water; the alkoxy groups result from an incomplete hydrolysis when alkoxysilane precursors are used or result from the exchange of alcohol with hydrolysable groups.

Preferably, the total amount by weight of —OH groups present in the MQ-T propyl resin is about 3%, preferably 2% and preferably 1.5%. Preferably, the total amount by weight of alkoxy groups present in the MQ-T propyl resin is less than or equal to 20% by weight and preferably less than or equal to 10% by weight.

There are no restrictions relating to the molecular mass of the MQ-T propyl siloxane resins, but the number-average molecular mass (M_n) is generally between 3000 and 10 000 or alternatively between 5000 and 8000.

The MQ-T propyl resins that are suitable for use as component a) may be prepared according to the processes known in the prior art for preparing siloxane resins of general formula R_nSiO_(4-n)/2 in which R is an alkyl group and n is less than 1.8.

Alternatively, the MQ-T propyl resins may be prepared according to the methods described below.

The siloxane resins that may be used according to the invention may be obtained via a process comprising the reaction between:

• • A) an MQ resin comprising at least 80 mol % of units (R¹₃SiO_1/2)_a and (SiO_4/2)_d
    • R¹ representing an alkyl group containing from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, an aryl group, a carbinol group or an amino group,
      • a and d being greater than zero,
      • the ratio a/d being between 0.5 and 1.5; and
  • B) a T propyl resin comprising at least 80 mol % of units (R³SiO_3/2)_c,
    • R³ representing an alkyl group containing from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, an aryl group, a carbinol group or an amino group,
      • c being greater than zero,
  • on condition that at least 40 mol % of the groups R³ are propyl groups,
    in which the mass ratio A/B is between 95/5 and 15/85.

Component A) is an MQ resin comprising at least 80 mol of units (R¹₃SiO_1/2)_a and (SiO_4/2)_d in which R¹ is as defined above, i.e. it represents an alkyl group containing from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, an aryl group, a carbinol group or an amino group, a and d being greater than zero, and the ratio a/d being between 0.5 and 1.5.

The MQ resins that may be used as component A), and the method for preparing them, are known in the prior art. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 2,814,601, belonging to Currie et al., dated 26 Nov. 1957, describes a process for manufacturing MQ resins by transformation of a water-soluble silicate into a silicic acid monomer or a silicic acid oligomer using an acid. Once the appropriate polymerization has been performed, trimethylchlorosilane end groups are introduced to obtain the MQ resin. Another process for preparing MQ resins is described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,857,356 belonging to Goodwin, dated 21 Oct. 1958. Goodwin describes a process for manufacturing an MQ resin by cohydrolysis of a mixture of an alkyl silicate and an organopolysiloxane trialkylsilane that is hydrolysable with water.

The MQ resins that are suitable for use as component A) in the present invention may contain units D and T, on condition that at least 80 mol % or even 90 mol % of the total siloxane units are units M and Q. The MQ resins may also contain hydroxyl groups. The MQ resins may thus comprise hydroxyl groups in a total weight amount of between 2% and 10% and preferably between 2% and 5%. The MQ resins may also comprise additional end groups, residual hydroxyl groups being, for this purpose, reacted with the groups M.

The component B) is a T propyl resin comprising at least 80 mol % of units (R³SiO_3/2)_c, R³ being as defined above, i.e. representing an alkyl group containing from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, an aryl group, a carbinol group or an amino group, c being greater than 0, on condition that at least 40 mol % of the groups R³ are propyl groups. Preferably, the T propyl resin according to the invention is a silsesquioxane resin. Silsesquioxane resins are well known in the prior art and are generally obtained by hydrolysis of an organosilane comprising three hydrolysable groups, such as halogen or alkoxy groups, present in the molecule. Component B) may thus be obtained by hydrolysis of propyltrimethoxysilane, propyltriethoxysilane or propyltripropoxysilane, or by cohydrolysis of the above-mentioned propylalkoxysilanes with various alkoxysilanes. Examples of these alkoxysilanes that may be mentioned include methyltrimethoxysilane, methyltriethoxysilane, methyltriisopropoxysilane, dimethyldimethoxysilane and phenyltrimethoxysilane. Propyltrichlorosilane may also be hydrolysed alone, or in the presence of alcohol. In this case, the cohydrolysis may be performed by adding methyltrichlorosilane, dimethyldichlorosilane, phenyltrichlorosilane or similar chlorosilanes and methyltrimethoxysilane, methyltriethoxysilane, methyltriisopropoxysilane or similar methylalkoxysilanes. As alcohols that are suitable for this purpose, mention may be made of methanol, ethanol, n-propyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, butanol, methoxyethanol, ethoxyethanol or similar alcohols. As examples of solvents of hydrocarbon type that may be used, mention may be made of toluene, xylene or similar aromatic hydrocarbons; hexane, heptane, isooctane or similar linear or partially branched saturated hydrocarbons; and also cyclohexane or similar aliphatic hydrocarbons.

The T propyl resins as component B) according to the invention may contain units M, D and Q, on condition that at least 80 mol % or even 90 mol % of the total siloxane units are units T. The T propyl resins may also contain hydroxyl groups. Preferably, the T propyl resins comprise between 3% and 8% by weight of hydroxyl groups.

A polyorganosiloxane may also be added to the process according to the invention as component C).

The polyorganosiloxanes that are useful as component C) according to the invention comprise units R²₂SiO_2/2 or R³SiO_3/2. The polyorganosiloxane may be added to introduce various units D and T into the MQ-T propyl resins, so as to modify the properties of the resulting resins. The structure or the formula of the polyorganosiloxane is not limiting, on condition that the said polyorganosiloxane comprises a measurable amount of units R²₂SiO_2/2 or R³SiO_3/2, and that the total amount of polyorganosiloxane added to the reaction between A) and B) does not amount to more than 50 mol % of units D or T in the reaction mixture.

The polyorganosiloxane may comprise combinations of units M, D, T and Q, provided that at least the units D or T are present. Thus, the polyorganosiloxane may be chosen from fluid silicones, gums or resins known in the prior art and comprising units D or T, or mixtures thereof. The units D typically comprise methyl or phenyl groups or mixtures thereof as groups R². The units T typically comprise methyl or phenyl groups or mixtures thereof as groups R³. The polyorganosiloxane may be a linear fluid polydiorganosiloxane with a viscosity of between 10 and 1000 cS (mm²/s). The fluid polydiorganosiloxane may be a polydimethylsiloxane or a polymethylphenylsiloxane. The polyorganosiloxane may also be an organosilsesquioxane resin. The organosilsesquioxane resin is typically a methylsilsesquioxane resin or a phenylsilsesquioxane resin.

The components A), B) and optionally C) may react via any method known in the prior art for acting on the units M, D, T and Q. Preferably, however, the components A), B) and optionally C) react via a condensation reaction in the presence of a catalyst. The MQ resin is typically present in an aromatic hydrocarbon-based solvent or siloxane solvent. Condensation reaction catalysts that may be used are especially metal hydroxides such as potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide; metal salts such as silanolates, carboxylates and carbonates; amines; titanates such as tetrabutyl titanate; and mixtures thereof. Typically, the reaction between the components A), B) and optionally C) is performed by heating the reaction mixture to temperatures ranging from 50 to 140° C. and preferably ranging from 100 to 140° C. The reaction may be performed as a semi-continuous or continuous process or in batch mode.

The mass ratio A/B in the reaction is between 95/5 and 15/85, preferably between 95/5 and 20/80 and preferably between 90/10 and 20/80.

Preferably, the mass ratio A/B is equal to 85/15, or 50/50, or 30/70, or 95/5. Preferably, the mass ratio A/B is equal to 30/70.

The amount of component C) may vary, but on condition that it results in a content of less than 30 mol % of additional units D or T, relative to the total molar amount of siloxane units in the reaction mixture.

Preferably, the siloxane resin is present in the composition in a total solids content of resin ranging from 1% to 80% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, preferably ranging from 5% to 70% by weight and better still ranging from 6% to 60% by weight.

According to a preferred embodiment, the composition according to the invention is solid.

The term “solid” characterizes the state of the composition at room temperature (25° C.) and at atmospheric pressure (760 mmHg).

Preferably, the composition according to the invention has, when it is solid, a hardness of between 30 and 300 g, or even from 50 to 200 g.

Protocol for Measuring the Hardness:

The measurement is performed according to the following protocol:

A sample of the composition under consideration is hot-cast into a stick mould 12.7 mm in diameter. The mould is then cooled in a freezer for about one hour. The stick of lipstick is then stored at 20° C.

The hardness of the samples is measured after an interval of 24 hours.

The hardness of the samples of compositions of the invention, expressed in grams, is measured using a DFGS2 tensile testing machine sold by the company Indelco-Chatillon.

The hardness corresponds to the maximum shear force exerted by a rigid tungsten wire 250 μm in diameter, advancing at a rate of 100 mm/minute.

The technique described above is usually referred to as the “cheese wire” method.

Preferably, the composition according to the invention comprises less than 3% and better still less than 1% by weight of water relative to the total weight of the composition. More preferably, the composition is totally anhydrous. The term “anhydrous” especially means that water is preferably not deliberately added to the composition, but may be present in trace amount in the various compounds used in the composition.

According to another aspect, the present invention relates to a makeup and/or care process in which the composition as defined previously is applied to keratin materials, and especially to the lips.

Additional Polymer:

The compositions according to the invention may contain an additional film-forming or non-film-forming polymer.

In the present invention, the term “film-forming polymer” means a polymer that is capable, by itself or in the presence of an auxiliary film-forming agent, of forming a macroscopically continuous film that adheres to keratin materials, and preferably a cohesive film, better still a film whose cohesion and mechanical properties are such that the said film can be isolated and manipulated individually, for example when the said film is prepared by pouring onto a non-stick surface such as a Teflon-coated or silicone-coated surface.

The composition may comprise an aqueous phase and the additional polymer may be present in this aqueous phase. In this case, the polymer will preferably be a polymer in dispersion or an amphiphilic or associative polymer.

The term “polymer in dispersion” means the water-insoluble polymers present in the form of particles of variable size. The polymer may or may not be crosslinked. The size of the polymer particles is typically between 25 and 500 nanometres and preferably between 50 and 200 nanometres. The following polymers in aqueous dispersion may be used: Ultrasol 2075 from Ganz Chemical, Daitosol 5000 AD from Daito Kasei, Avalure UR 450 from Noveon, DynamX from National Starch, Syntran 5760 from Interpolymer, Acusol OP 301 and from Rohm & Haas, and Neocryl A 1090 from Avecia.

The term “amphiphilic or associative polymers” means polymers comprising one or more hydrophilic parts that make them partially water-soluble and one or more hydrophobic parts via which the polymers associate or interact. The following associative polymers may be used: Nuvis FX 1100 from Elementis, Aculyn 22, Aculyn 44 and Aculyn 46 from Rohm & Haas, Viscophobe DB 1000 from Amerchol. Diblock copolymers formed from a hydrophilic block (polyacrylate or polyethylene glycol) and from a hydrophobic block (polystyrene or polysiloxane) may also be used.

Polymers that are soluble in an aqueous phase containing monodisperse particles may be avoided, since they may cause aggregation of the monodisperse particles. The film-forming polymer may thus be insoluble in such an aqueous phase.

The composition may comprise an oily phase and the film-forming polymer may be present in this oily phase. The polymer may then be in dispersion or in solution. The polymers of type NAD (non-aqueous dispersion) or microgels (for example KSG) may be used, as may polymers of the type PS-PA or styrene-based copolymers (Kraton, Regalite).

As examples of lipodispersible non-aqueous film-forming polymer dispersions in the form of non-aqueous dispersions of polymer particles in one or more silicone and/or hydrocarbon-based oils, which may be surface-stabilized with at least one stabilizer, especially a block, grafted or random polymer, mention may be made of acrylic dispersions in isododecane, for instance Mexomer PAP from the company Chimex, and dispersions of particles of a grafted ethylenic polymer, preferably an acrylic polymer, in a liquid fatty phase, the ethylenic polymer advantageously being dispersed in the absence of additional stabilizer at the surface of the particles as described especially in document WO 04/055 081.

Among the film-forming polymers that may be used in the composition of the present invention, mention may be made of synthetic polymers, of free-radical type or of polycondensate type, and polymers of natural origin, and mixtures thereof.

The expression “free-radical film-forming polymer” means a polymer obtained by polymerization of unsaturated and especially ethylenically unsaturated monomers, each monomer being capable of homopolymerizing (unlike polycondensates).

The film-forming polymers of free-radical type may be, in particular, vinyl polymers or copolymers, in particular acrylic polymers.

The vinyl film-forming polymers may result from the polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers containing at least one acidic group and/or esters of these acidic monomers and/or amides of these acidic monomers.

Monomers bearing an acidic group which may be used are α,β-ethylenic unsaturated carboxylic acids such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, crotonic acid, maleic acid or itaconic acid. (Meth)acrylic acid and crotonic acid are preferably used, and more preferably (meth) acrylic acid.

The esters of acidic monomers are advantageously chosen from (meth)acrylic acid esters (also known as (meth)acrylates), especially (meth)acrylates of an alkyl, in particular of a C₁-C₃₀ and preferably C₁-C₂₀ alkyl, (meth)acrylates of an aryl, in particular of a C₆-C₁₀ aryl, and (meth)acrylates of a hydroxyalkyl, in particular of a C₂-C₆ hydroxyalkyl.

According to the present invention, the alkyl group of the esters may be either fluorinated or perfluorinated, i.e. some or all of the hydrogen atoms of the alkyl group are substituted with fluorine atoms.

Examples of amides of the acid monomers that may be mentioned are (meth)acrylamides, and especially N-alkyl(meth)acrylamides, in particular of a C₂-C₁₂ alkyl.

Waxes

The composition according to the invention comprises at least one polar wax as structuring agent.

The term “wax” for the purposes of the present invention, means a lipophilic compound that is solid at room temperature (25° C.), with a solid/liquid reversible change of state, having a melting point of greater than or equal to 30° C., which may be up to 200° C. and in particular up to 120° C.

In particular, the waxes that are suitable for the invention may have a melting point of greater than or equal to 45° C. and in particular greater than or equal to 55° C.

By bringing the wax to the liquid state (melting), it is possible to make it miscible with the oils that may be present and to form a microscopically uniform mixture, but on returning the temperature of the mixture to room temperature, recrystallization of the wax in the oils of the mixture is observed.

For the purposes of the invention, the melting point corresponds to the temperature of the most endothermic peak observed by thermal analysis (DSC) as described in standard ISO 11357-3; 1999. The melting point of the wax may be measured using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), for example the calorimeter sold under the name MDSC 2920 by the company TA Instruments.

The measuring protocol is as follows:

A sample of 5 mg of wax placed in a crucible is subjected to a first temperature rise ranging from −20° C. to 100° C., at a heating rate of 10° C./minute, it is then cooled from 100° C. to −20° C. at a cooling rate of 10° C./minute and is finally subjected to a second temperature increase ranging from −20° C. to 100° C. at a heating rate of 5° C./minute. During the second temperature increase, the variation of the difference in power absorbed by the empty crucible and by the crucible containing the sample of wax is measured as a function of the temperature. The melting point of the compound is the temperature value corresponding to the top of the peak of the curve representing the variation in the difference in absorbed power as a function of the temperature.

The wax may especially have a hardness ranging from 0.05 MPa to 15 MPa and preferably ranging from 6 MPa to 15 MPa. The hardness is determined by measuring the compression force, measured at 20° C., using a texturometer sold under the name TA-TX2i by the company Rheo, equipped with a stainless-steel cylinder 2 mm in diameter, moving at a measuring speed of 0.1 mm/s, and penetrating into the wax to a penetration depth of 0.3 mm.

For the purposes of the present invention, the term “polar wax” means a wax whose solubility parameter at 25° C., δ_a, is other than 0 (J/cm³)^1/2.

In particular, the term “polar wax” means a wax whose chemical structure is formed essentially from, or even constituted by, carbon and hydrogen atoms, and comprising at least one highly electronegative heteroatom such as an oxygen, nitrogen or phosphorus atom.

The definition and calculation of the solubility parameters in the Hansen three-dimensional solubility space are described in the article by C. M. Hansen: “The three dimensional solubility parameters” J. Paint Technol. 39, 105 (1967).

According to this Hansen space:

δ_D characterizes the London dispersion forces derived from the formation of dipoles induced during molecular impacts;

δ_p characterizes the Debye interaction forces between permanent dipoles and also the Keesom interaction forces between induced dipoles and permanent dipoles;

The waxes that may be used in the compositions according to the invention are chosen from waxes that are solid at room temperature of animal, plant, mineral and/or synthetic origin, and mixtures thereof.

The waxes may especially be hydrocarbon-based or silicone waxes.

The term “hydrocarbon-based wax” means a wax formed essentially from, or even constituted by, carbon and hydrogen atoms, and possibly oxygen and nitrogen atoms, and not containing any silicon or fluorine atoms. It may contain alcohol, ester, ether, carboxylic acid, amine and/or amide groups.

The term “silicone wax” means an oil comprising at least one silicon atom, and especially comprising Si—O groups.

This liquid fraction at 23° C. preferably represents between 15% and 85% and more preferably between 40% and 85% by weight.

The liquid fraction by weight of the pasty compound at 23° C. is equal to the ratio of the heat of fusion consumed at 23° C. to the heat of fusion of the pasty compound.

The heat of fusion of the pasty compound is the amount of energy required to make the compound change from the solid state to the liquid state. It is expressed in J/g.

The heat of fusion consumed at 23° C. is the amount of energy absorbed by the sample to change from the solid state to the state that it has at 23° C., constituted of a liquid fraction and a solid fraction.

The liquid fraction of the pasty compound, measured at 32° C., preferably represents from 30% to 100% by weight of the compound, preferably from 50% to 100% and more preferably from 60% to 100% by weight of the compound. When the liquid fraction of the pasty compound measured at 32° C. is equal to 100%, the temperature of the end of the melting range of the pasty compound is less than or equal to 32° C.

The liquid fraction of the pasty compound measured at 32° C. is equal to the ratio of the heat of fusion consumed at 32° C. to the heat of fusion of the pasty compound. The heat of fusion consumed at 32° C. is calculated in the same manner as the heat of fusion consumed at 23° C.

ii) a composition placed inside the said compartment, the composition being in accordance with the invention.

The container may be in any adequate form. It may especially be in the form of a bottle, a tube, a jar, a case, a box, a sachet or a carton.

The closing member may be in the form of a removable stopper, a lid, a cap, a tear-off strip or a capsule, especially of the type comprising a body attached to the container and a cover cap articulated on the body. It may also be in the form of a member for selectively closing the container, especially a pump, a valve or a flap valve.

The container may be combined with an applicator, especially in the form of a brush comprising an arrangement of bristles maintained by a twisted wire. Such a twisted brush is described especially in patent U.S. Pat. No. 4,887,622. It may also be in the form of a comb comprising a plurality of application members, obtained especially by moulding. Such combs are described, for example, in patent FR 2 796 529. The applicator may be in the form of a fine brush, as described, for example, in patent FR 2 722 380. The applicator may be in the form of a block of foam or of elastomer, a felt or a spatula. The applicator may be free (tuft or sponge) or securely fastened to a rod borne by the closing member, as described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,492,426. The applicator may be securely fastened to the container, as described, for example, in patent FR 2 761 959.

The product may be contained directly in the container, or indirectly. By way of example, the product may be arranged on an impregnated support, especially in the form of a wipe or a pad, and arranged (individually or in plurality) in a box or in a sachet. Such a support incorporating the product is described, for example, in patent application WO 01/03538.

The closing member may be coupled to the container by screwing. Alternatively, the coupling between the closing member and the container is done other than by screwing, especially via a bayonet mechanism, by click-fastening, gripping, welding, bonding or by magnetic attraction. The term “click-fastening” in particular means any system involving the crossing of a bead or cord of material by elastic deformation of a portion, especially of the closing member, followed by return to the elastically unconstrained position of the said portion after the crossing of the bead or cord.

The container may be at least partially made of thermoplastic material. Examples of thermoplastic materials that may be mentioned include polypropylene or polyethylene.

Alternatively, the container is made of non-thermoplastic material, especially glass or metal (or alloy).

The container may have rigid walls or deformable walls, especially in the form of a tube or a tubular bottle.

The container may comprise means for distributing or facilitating the distribution of the composition. By way of example, the container may have deformable walls so as to allow the composition to exit in response to a positive pressure inside the container, this positive pressure being caused by elastic (or non-elastic) squeezing of the walls of the container. Alternatively, especially when the product is in the form of a stick, the product may be driven out by a piston mechanism. Still in the case of a stick, especially of makeup product (lipstick, foundation, etc.), the container may comprise a mechanism, especially a rack mechanism, a threaded-rod mechanism or a helical groove mechanism, and may be capable of moving a stick in the direction of the said aperture. Such a mechanism is described, for example, in patent FR 2 806 273 or in patent FR 2 775 566. Such a mechanism for a liquid product is described in patent FR 2 727 609.

The container may be formed from a carton with a base delimiting at least one housing containing the composition, and a lid, especially articulated on the base, and capable of at least partially covering the said base. Such a carton is described, for example, in patent application WO 03/018423 or in patent FR 2 791 042.

The container may be equipped with a drainer arranged in the region of the aperture of the container. Such a drainer makes it possible to wipe the applicator and possibly the rod to which it may be securely fastened. Such a drainer is described, for example, in patent FR 2 792 618.

The composition may be at atmospheric pressure inside the container (at room temperature) or pressurized, especially by means of a propellent gas (aerosol). In the latter case, the container is equipped with a valve (of the type used for aerosols).

The present invention also relates to a cosmetic product for making up and/or caring for keratin materials, comprising at least two compositions that can be applied successively to keratin materials, especially to the lips.

The present invention also relates to a process for making up the face and the body using these two compositions. They are preferably applied successively to the keratin materials: the first composition and then the second composition.

These two compositions are conventionally known as a topcoat and a basecoat.

Thus, according to this embodiment, the invention relates to a product (also known as a kit) for making up and/or caring for keratin materials, especially the lips, comprising a first composition and a second composition conditioned in separate containers,

the first composition containing, in a physiologically acceptable medium:

i) a siloxane resin comprising the following units:

(i) (R¹₃SiO_1/2)_a

(ii) (R²₂SiO_2/2)_b

(iii) (R³SiO_3/2)_c and

(iv) (SiO_4/2)_d

with

R¹, R² and R³ independently representing an alkyl group containing from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, an aryl group, a carbinol group or an amino group,

a being between 0.05 and 0.5,

b being between 0 and 0.3,

c being greater than 0,

d being between 0.05 and 0.6,

a+b+c+d=1,

on condition that more than 40 mol % of the groups R³ of the siloxane resin are propyl groups, and

ii) at least one polar wax,

and the second composition, which is different from the first, comprising at least one fatty substance.

The fatty substance of the second composition is preferably chosen from waxes and non-volatile oils.

According to one preferred embodiment, the second composition comprises at least one wax and at least one non-volatile oil.

Advantageously, the wax is a sunflower wax.

Preferably, the non-volatile oil is an oil such as caprylic/capric acid triglycerides.

The presence of a second composition applied over the first composition onto the keratin materials can especially improve the gloss and/or comfort properties.

The content of all the patents or patent applications cited previously is incorporated by reference into the present patent application.

In the patent application, unless specifically mentioned otherwise, the contents are expressed on a weight basis relative to the total weight of the composition.

The invention is illustrated in greater detail by the examples described below, which are given as non-limiting illustrations. The percentages are weight percentages.

EXAMPLE 1

Preparation of the Siloxane Resins

The following resins are used:

MQ resin=an MQ resin of formula M_0.43Q_0.57 and of M_n=3230 dissolved in xylene to a proportion of 70.8% by weight of solids. The MQ resin was manufactured according to the techniques described by Daudt in U.S. Pat. No. 2,676,182.

T Propyl resin=a propyl silsesquioxane resin at 74.8% by weight in toluene. The propyl silsesquioxane resin was obtained by hydrolysis of propyltrichlorosilane.

Preparation of the MQT^Pr Resins

An MQ resin, a T propyl resin, xylene and 1M KOH in water in the proportions presented in Table 1 are introduced into a 3-necked flask equipped with a stirrer, a temperature probe and Dean-Stark apparatus mounted with a condenser. Xylene is pre-introduced into the Dean-Stark apparatus so as to ensure maintenance of a level of solids of 50% in the reactor. The mixture in the reactor is refluxed (between 100 and 140° C.) for at least 3 hours. Any water formed in the reaction mixture is continuously removed and trapped in the form of an azeotrope in the Dean-Stark apparatus. After refluxing for 3 hours, the water is removed from the apparatus and heating is continued for a further 30 minutes. After cooling the mixture, an excess of acetic acid is added to neutralize the KOH in the mixture. The mixture is then filtered to remove the salts formed, by passing it through a filter under pressure. Solvent exchange is performed by heating the mixture in a rotary evaporator under vacuum. After removing the majority of the xylene, decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (or isododecane) is added while continuing to remove any residual aromatic solvent. The structures of the resulting siloxane resins are characterized by ²⁹Si NMR and GPC, and the results are summarized in Table 2 below.
