LONG WEAR NON-CRACKING COLOR COSMETIC COMPOSITIONS

Cosmetic compositions in a cosmetically acceptable medium include: (a) at least one polyene; (b) at least one amino-modified silicone; (c) at least one siloxysilicate resin; and (d) at least one nonvolatile silicone oil. These cosmetic compositions exhibit long wear resistance and improve comfort.

TECHNICAL FIELD

Cosmetic compositions with polyene, amino-modified silicone, siloxysilicate resin, and one nonvolatile silicone oil, exhibit long wear resistance and improve comfort on the face, eye, lips, nails or hair, and may be contained in color cosmetic compositions such as lipstick, lip gloss, blush, eyeshadow, mascara, concealer.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The information provided below is not admitted to be prior art to the present disclosure, but is provided solely to assist the understanding of the reader.

Cosmetic manufacturers seek to provide color cosmetic products that stay on the keratinous surface to which they are applied for extended periods of time. Many consumers desire color cosmetics that will stay on the skin or lips, for example, for at least eight hours, so that when they apply make up in the morning it will stay on their face throughout the workday. Further, the cosmetic should be comfortable to wear with a soft silky feel.

However, color cosmetics applied to keratinous surfaces that are very mobile tend to wear less well. For example, lips are constantly moving as we speak, eat, and drink. Accordingly, lipsticks tend to wear off the lips more quickly than other types of cosmetics along with showing lines and signs of cracking. While a consumer might apply foundation makeup to the face in the morning expecting that it will remain on the face for the entire day, there are few, if any, lip colors that could be applied to the lips and be expected to remain on the lips for the entire day without cracking. Accordingly, cosmetics manufacturers are interested in formulating these types of products because they fill a consumer need gap.

There is a need for color cosmetic products, particularly lip products such as lipsticks, lip glosses, and the like, that provide improved wear such that a consumer can apply the cosmetic to the lips and expect that it will remain for longer periods of time without showing lines or cracking over the standard formulas.

Cosmetic compositions of the present disclosure exhibit long wear resistance and improve comfort and, therefore, are particularly useful in color cosmetic compositions such as lipstick, lip gloss, blush, eyeshadow, mascara, concealer, and the like.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Embodiments of the present disclosure are discussed in detail below. In describing embodiments, specific terminology is employed for the sake of clarity. However, the disclosure is not intended to be limited to the specific terminology so selected. While specific exemplary embodiments are discussed, it should be understood that this is done for illustration purposes only. A person skilled in the relevant art will recognize that other components and configurations can be used without parting from the spirit and scope of the disclosure. While a number of embodiments and features are described herein, it is to be understood that the various features of the disclosure and aspects of embodiments, even if described separately, may be combined unless mutually exclusive or contrary to the specific description. All references cited herein are incorporated by reference as if each had been individually incorporated.

The terms “about” or “approximately” as used herein shall generally mean within 10 percent of a given value. Other than in the operating examples, or where otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities of ingredients and/or reaction conditions are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term “about”.

The term “at least one” as used herein means one or more of the item to which the term makes reference.

The term “comprising” refers to optional compatible components/steps that can be used provided that the important ingredients/steps are present. The term “comprising” thus encompasses and includes the more restrictive terms “consisting of” and “consisting essentially of”.

“Long wear” compositions as used herein, refers to compositions where color remains the same or substantially the same as at the time of application, as viewed by the naked eye, after an extended period of time. Long wear properties may be evaluated by any method known in the art for evaluating such properties. For example, long wear may be evaluated by a test involving the application of a composition to human hair, skin or lips and evaluating the color of the composition after an extended period of time. For example, the color of a composition may be evaluated immediately following application to hair, skin or lips and these characteristics may then be re-evaluated and compared after a certain amount of time. Further, these characteristics may be evaluated with respect to other compositions, such as commercially available compositions. For lip compositions, “long wear” typically means the composition remains on the lips at least about 4 hours up to about 24 hours and retains rich color even after eating.

“Cracking” as used herein refers to the lines that show after wearing cosmetic products on your lips. These cosmetic products cause a loss of moisture and oils from the lips making the overall texture of the lip product drier and causing it to settle into the cracks and crevices in your lips. This phenomenon causes your lips to have cracks, lines or even causes the cosmetic product to flake.

“Durable fill” as used herein refers to the substance being able to withstand long wear without damage or changes to the appearance.

Cosmetically Acceptable Medium

The term “cosmetically acceptable medium” means a carrier for cosmetic use, which carrier delivers the active components to the intended target and which will not cause harm to humans.

C1 and C2 are compositions according to the present disclosure and CE1 to CE4 are Comparative Experiments:

To assess the wear durable fill and cracking, a visual inspection of each composition was carried out after 7 hours of wear.

Kiss Test

Panelists were asked to apply the lipstick, wait 5 minutes, then kiss their hand. The panelists were then asked if the lipstick “left hardly a trace” of color on their hand, as described in patent U.S. Pat. No. 5,505,937.

In order to present long wear properties and cracking, the compositions should exhibit minimal cracking/lines and no transfer during the kiss test. Further, the result of this visual assessment is displayed in Table 2.

Visual assessment of the cosmetic compositions

Composition
Visual inspection

C1
No cracking or lip lines; No transfer

C2
Shows some lines/cracking; No transfer

CE1
Shows lines and cracking covering the entire lip area;

Transferred

CE2
Shows lines and cracking covering the entire lip area;

Transferred

CE3
Shows lines and cracking; Transferred

The above results show that the lipstick formulations of the present disclosure C1 and C2 exhibited superior transfer resistance when compared to the Comparative Examples.

Particular good results were obtained with the composition C1, where no cracking/lines were present.

The compositions according to the present disclosure are a suitable option for long wear cosmetic products with a lightweight comfortable feel.

Modifications that do not affect, alter, change or modify the essential aspects of the compositions and methods described above, are included within the scope of the present disclosure.
