The present patent application relates to a composition, notably for coating keratin materials, more particularly for making up and/or caring for keratin materials such as the skin, in the form of an aqueous dispersion of at least one pigment, comprising, notably in a physiologically acceptable medium:   a) an aqueous phase; and   b) at least one ionic polymeric dispersant; and   c) at least one hyaluronic acid and/or a salt thereof; and   d) at least one polyol; and   e) at least one polyoxyethylenated alkyl ether dimethylsilane compound; and   f) at least one filler; and   g) at least one pigment.

The present invention is directed towards proposing, for the field of caring for and/or making up keratin materials, notably the skin, a composition in the form of an aqueous dispersion of at least one pigment comprising at least one ionic polymeric dispersant, at least one polyol and at least one hyaluronic acid or a salt thereof.

The invention also relates to a cosmetic process for caring for and/or making up keratin materials, notably the skin, comprising at least the application to said keratin materials of a composition as defined previously.

Cosmetic makeup compositions, for example foundations, are commonly used to give an aesthetic colour to keratin materials such as the skin, but also to enhance the beauty of irregular skin, by making it possible to hide marks and dyschromias, and to reduce the visibility of relief imperfections such as pores and wrinkles. Many formulations have been developed to date. Use is generally made of a large amount of pigments in order to obtain a uniform, covering makeup.

Emulsions are generally appealing to consumers, in particular in the context of foundations, since they are easy to apply. For such compositions, it is sought to provide colour to enhance the beauty of the skin. Substantial coverage is also sought to hide skin defects and to make the complexion uniform. A high proportion of pigments is generally used for this purpose. It is also important for the pigments present in these compositions to have good dispersibility with a view to obtaining a stable and homogeneous composition. Consumers are also looking for products which, after application, afford a light texture with no thickness or lankness effect and which do not transfer onto substrates in contact with the keratin materials such as the skin, for instance clothing.

However, the emulsions, generally water-in-oil emulsions, used in makeup have a tendency to have poor performance as regards the freshness, to produce a greasy effect due to the large presence of oils, generally silicone oils, in these emulsions, and to give a sensation of heaviness of the deposit.

These emulsions also have the drawback of limiting the incorporation of water-soluble active agents in amounts that are efficient to provide one or more care effects such as anti-aging in addition to makeup. Furthermore, they generally require removal with products based on a fatty phase.

Finally, these compositions are not suitable for producing a healthy-complexion effect, which consists in restoring a more uniform, radiant complexion, while at the same time conserving a natural, non-glossy appearance of the skin.

It is known that the skin may lose its vivacity and radiance or may become dull over time, notably due to the effect of ageing, and/or on account of environmental factors such as pollution, the wind or the cold, psychological causes such as fatigue or stress, or on account of hormonal changes such as the menopause. Similarly, certain skin types may have a dull flesh tone with a greyish complexion.

Patent application EP3727298 discloses aqueous dispersions of particles of at least one dyestuff comprising a film-forming polymer in the form of particles in aqueous dispersion, an ionic polymeric dispersant, at least one mattifying filler and at least one thickener for obtaining a matt effect, good persistence of this effect and also a good transfer-resistant effect. However, some of these compositions are not fully satisfactory as regards the sensory properties such as the skin moisturization, the freshness, the light texture without having a thickness or heaviness effect, and as regards the healthy complexion effect and the play time.

There is thus still a need to find novel aqueous formulations for caring for and/or making up keratin materials, in particular the skin, which can overcome the drawbacks mentioned previously.

The Applicant has found, unexpectedly, in the course of its research, that it is possible to achieve this objective with a composition, notably for coating keratin materials, more particularly for making up and/or caring for keratin materials such as the skin, in the form of an aqueous dispersion of at least one pigment, comprising, notably in a physiologically acceptable medium:a) an aqueous phase; andb) at least one ionic polymeric dispersant; andc) at least one hyaluronic acid and/or a salt thereof; andd) at least one polyol; ande) at least one polyoxyethylenated alkyl ether dimethylsilane compound; andf) at least one filler; andg) at least one pigment.

The compositions according to the invention make it possible to obtain care and/or makeup products which, after application, afford a fresh sensation on the skin, a good moisturizing effect, a light texture with no thickness or heaviness effect and which do not transfer onto substrates in contact with the keratin materials such as the skin, for instance clothing. They are easy to remove with water-based makeup removers. They allow the incorporation of water-soluble active agents in amounts that are efficient for providing one or more care effects in addition to makeup. They are also suitable for giving the skin a healthy complexion effect.

The compositions according to the invention are particularly suitable for phototypes I to V, and more particularly for phototypes I to III.

This discovery forms the basis of the invention.

The active agents may be chosen from:water-soluble vitamins, for instance vitamin B5 and derivatives thereof, notably the salt calcium pantothenate, such as the commercial products sold under the name Calcium D Pantothenate® (0412678) by the company DSM Nutritional Products, D-Calcium Pantothenate USP® by the company BASF; vitamin C and derivatives thereof such as 2-o-alpha-d-glucopyranosyl-L-ascorbic acid having the INCI name Ascorbyl Glucoside, such as the commercial products sold under the names V2G® by the company Macrocare and AA2G® by the company Hayashibara;anti-ageing agents, such as the rye seed extracts having the INCI nameSecale cereale(Rye) Seed Extract, for instance the commercial product sold under the name Coheliss GR® by the company Silab; peptides such as the compound having the INCI name Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate, for instance the commercial product sold under the name SYN-AKE® by the company DSM; the juice of the black crowberry fruit from Lapland having the INCI nameEmpetrum nigrumFruit Juice, for instance the commercial product sold under the name Camaderm® by the company Solabia;mixtures thereof.

Additional Dyestuffs

A composition according to the invention may also comprise at least one additional dyestuff, preferably in a proportion of at least 0.01% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.

For obvious reasons, this amount is liable to vary significantly with regard to the intensity of the desired colour effect and of the colour intensity afforded by the dyestuffs under consideration, and its adjustment clearly falls within the competence of a person skilled in the art.

The additional dyestuffs that are suitable for use in the invention may be water-soluble.

For the purposes of the invention, the term “water-soluble dyestuff” means any natural or synthetic, generally organic compound, which is soluble in an aqueous phase or water-miscible solvents and which is capable of imparting colour.

As water-soluble dyes that are suitable for use in the invention, mention may be made notably of synthetic or natural water-soluble dyes, for instance FDC Red 4, DC Red 6, DC Red 22, DC Red 28, DC Red 30, DC Red 33, DC Orange 4, DC Yellow 5, DC Yellow 6, DC Yellow 8, FDC Green 3, DC Green 5, FDC Blue 1, betanine (beetroot), carmine, copper chlorophyllin, methylene blue, anthocyanins (enocianin, black carrot, hibiscus, elder), caramel and riboflavin.

The water-soluble dyes are, for example, beetroot juice and caramel.

Cosmetic Compositions

The present invention also relates to a cosmetic composition comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium, a composition as defined above.

The term “physiologically acceptable” means compatible with the skin and/or its integuments, which has a pleasant colour, odour and feel, and which does not cause any unacceptable discomfort (stinging or tautness) liable to discourage the consumer from using this composition.

The physiologically acceptable medium is generally adapted to the nature of the support onto which the composition is to be applied, and also to the form in which the composition is to be packaged.

According to a particularly preferred form, the compositions according to the invention are in very fluid form, notably in the form of a serum having a dynamic viscosity at 25° C. preferably ranging from 50 to 200 centipoises (50 to 130 mPa·s) and more particularly from 90 to 170 poises (90 to 170 mPa·s).

The viscosity of the compositions according to the invention may notably be measured by means of a rotating-spindle rheometer such as the Rheomat RM 200® machine sold by the company Lamy, this machine being equipped with a different spindle (MS-R1, MS-R2, MS-R3, MS-R4 or MS-R5) depending on the viscosity, rotating at 200 rpm. The compositions according to the invention advantageously have a viscosity, both after 30 seconds and after 10 minutes of shear, as defined above.

Applications

According to one embodiment, a composition of the invention may advantageously be in the form of a composition for caring for the skin, notably of the body or the face, in particular the face, for instance a moisturizing, anti-ageing or flesh-plumping product.

According to another embodiment, a composition of the invention may advantageously be in the form of a composition for making up keratin materials, in particular the skin of the body or of the face, in particular of the face, notably a foundation.

According to another embodiment, a composition of the invention may advantageously be in the form of a composition for making up and caring for keratin materials, in particular the skin of the body or of the face, in particular of the face, notably a moisturizing and flesh-plumping foundation.

Such compositions are notably prepared according to the general knowledge of a person skilled in the art.

Throughout the description, including the claims, the term “including a” should be understood as being synonymous with “including at least one”, unless otherwise specified.

EXAMPLE 1: MOISTURIZING AND FLESH-PLUMPING TINTED SERUM

Protocol for Preparing the Composition

Step 1: Preparation of the White Base

The ingredients of phase A were prepared and mixed at room temperature (25° C.) and then heated to 50° C. The ingredients of phase B were added and mixed at room temperature. Once the gel texture was obtained, phase C was added at room temperature. Phase D was then added to dilute the mixture. The pH was then adjusted by adding phase E.

Step 2: Preparation of the Tinted Serum

Phases A2, A3 and A4 were added to the white base at room temperature and in this order, followed by mixing until a homogeneous aqueous dispersion was obtained.

Test for Measuring the Spreading of the Film

The following protocol was repeated three timesUptake of 1 g of each formulationApplication to a glass plate, starting from the same baselineSpreading to a thickness of 20 μm using a Braive® film spreader reference 354001081Measurement of the distance from the end of the film to the baseline, in cmCalculation of the mean spreading EM of the film over three measurementsCalculation of the variation in spreading relative to that of Example 1 according to the following equation: (EM1−EM1i)/EM1where EM1is the mean spreading of Example 1 according to the invention and Emi, is the mean spreading of Example 1a, 1b or 1c outside the invention.

The results obtained are collated in the following table.

The results showed that the ternary combination of the sodium salts of hyaluronic acid, of the polyoxyethylenated alkyl ether dimethylsilane compound and of the cellulose filler in Example 1 of the invention leads to better spreading than that of Examples 1a, 1b and 1c outside the invention including only one of these components, two of these components or none of these components.

Test for Measuring the Film Homogeneity

An application card (reference BYK Byko-Chart Reorder® 2814) was placed on the vacuum table and the vacuum pump was switched on.The 20 μm-edge applicator (Braive 354001081 film spreader) was positioned in front of the attachment barusing a pipette, bulk was taken up and an appropriate amount of product was placed in front of the applicatorthe “advance” (10 mm/sec) button was pressed to start the applicationat the end, the applicator was stopped automaticallythe applicator was removed for cleaning, and the “return” button was pressedonce the chariot had returned to its starting position, the applied card was removed and the homogeneity was evaluated.

The homogeneity of the film obtained was scored in the following manner:O homogeneous makeup result with little presence of traces and of white zone that are difficult to see with the naked eyeI heterogeneous makeup result with presence of traces and of white zone that are visible to the naked eyeII heterogeneous makeup result with pronounced presence of traces and of white zoneIII heterogeneous makeup result with very strong presence of traces and of white zone
