Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
       [0001]    The invention is in the field of pigmented emulsion cosmetic compositions for use as foundations, concealers, blush, lipstick, etc. 
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    Foundation makeup and concealer are staples for most women. Foundation and concealer are most useful for improving the appearance of skin in general and providing a smooth evenly pigmented appearance. More recently foundations have become more sophisticated and are formulated with ingredients that refract and reflect light. This enables skin imperfections such as lines, wrinkles, uneven pigmentation, and the like to be much less noticeable and in some cases provides a skin surface having a subtle glow. Some of the particulates that provide such an effect include multi-layer interference pigments, various types of spherical particulates, or glass beads. However, it has been discovered that gemstones, when incorporated into foundation makeup compositions, provide excellent reflective properties and give the skin a smooth and subtle glow. Because gemstones are naturally occurring ingredients they are also desirable for those consumers who want all natural products. 
         [0003]    It is an object of the invention to provide an emulsion makeup composition containing gemstones. 
         [0004]    It is a further object of the invention to provide a subtle glow to skin by applying an emulsion makeup composition containing gemstones. 
         [0005]    It is a further object to provide a foundation makeup composition containing gemstones that are homogeneously dispersed in a dispersion network, preferably a lipophilic dispersion network. 
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0006]    The invention is directed to a pigmented emulsion composition comprising gemstones. 
         [0007]    The invention is further directed to a pigmented emulsion composition comprising gemstones homogeneously dispersed in a dispersion network, preferably a lipophilic dispersion network. 
         [0008]    The invention is further directed to a method for ameliorating the effects of, and/or improving the appearance of lines, wrinkles, or skin imperfections such as uneven pigmentation or skin discolorations or treating the skin with a pigmented emulsion composition comprising gemstones. 
     
    
     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0009]    All percentages mentioned herein are percentages by weight unless otherwise indicated. 
         [0010]    The term “gemstone” means a mineral that, if cut, polished, or otherwise treated, provides an appearance that is suitable for use in jewelry or other adornments. Such gemstones, when ground into particle sizes similar to the particle sizes of pigments and powders used in pigmented compositions are suitable for use in such compositions. 
         [0011]    The compositions of the invention are in the emulsion form, either water in oil or oil in water emulsions. Suggested amounts of water range from about 0.1 to 99%, preferably from about 0.5 to 95%, more preferably 1 to 90% by weight of the total composition. Suggested amounts of oil range from about 0.1 to 99%, preferably from about 0.5 to 95%, more preferably from about 1 to 90% by weight of the total composition. 
       I. Gemstones 
       [0012]    The emulsion composition of the invention comprises a plurality of gemstones. Such gemstones are preferably in the particulate form and have particle sizes ranging from about 0.05 to 200, preferably from about 0.1 to 100, more preferably from about 0.5 to 75 microns. Gemstones include powders from ruby, sapphire, jade, gold, amethyst, pearl, emerald, diamond, aquamarine, bixbite, goshenite, heliodor, amber, opal, peridot, cat&#39;s eye, and the like. The gemstone powders that may be used in the composition of the invention may be precious or semi-precious. Gemstone powders are commercially available from a variety of commercial sources including Kiosi Corporation (jade powder), Independent Chemical Corporation (amethyst, pearl, sapphire, and ruby powders), 
       II. The Gemstone Suspension Network 
       [0013]    The gemstones are dispersed or suspended in the composition using a suspension network that may be present in the aqueous or lipophilic phase of the emulsion. The network may be comprised of cross linked materials or materials that are present in a layered form such as clays. The gemstone suspension network is present in amounts ranging from about 0.01 to 80%, preferably from about 0.05 to 75%, more preferably from about 0.1 to 30% by weight of the total composition. 
         [0014]    A. Silicone Elastomers 
         [0015]    1. Non-Emulsifying Silicone Elastomers 
         [0016]    Silicone elastomers are suitable for providing a suitable suspension network, and include those that are sometimes referred to as non-emulsifying because they are not present in the composition for purposes of emulsification although they may inherently have that function. Such elastomers are generally prepared by addition reaction-curing, by reacting an SiH-containing diorganosiloxane and an organopolysiloxane having terminal olefinic unsaturation, or an alpha-omega diene hydrocarbon, in the presence of a platinum metal catalyst. Such elastomers may also be formed by other reaction methods such as condensation-curing organopolysiloxane compositions in the presence of an organotin compound via a dehydrogenation reaction between hydroxyl-terminated diorganopolysiloxane and SiH-containing diorganopolysiloxane or alpha omega diene; or by condensation-curing organopolysiloxane compositions in the presence of an organotin compound or a titanate ester using a condensation reaction between an hydroxyl-terminated diorganopolysiloxane and a hydrolysable organosiloxane; peroxide-curing organopolysiloxane compositions which thermally cure in the presence of an organoperoxide catalyst. 
         [0017]    One type of elastomer that may be suitable is prepared by addition reaction-curing an organopolysiloxane having at least 2 lower alkenyl groups in each molecule or an alpha-omega diene; and an organopolysiloxane having at least 2 silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms in each molecule; and a platinum-type catalyst. While the lower alkenyl groups such as vinyl, can be present at any position in the molecule, terminal olefinic unsaturation on one or both molecular terminals is preferred. The molecular structure of this component may be straight chain, branched straight chain, cyclic, or network. These organopolysiloxanes are exemplified by methylvinylsiloxanes, methylvinylsiloxane-dimethylsiloxane copolymers, dimethylvinylsiloxy-terminated dimethylpolysiloxanes, dimethylvinylsiloxy-terminated dimethylsiloxane-methylphenylsiloxane copolymers, dimethylvinylsiloxy-terminated dimethylsiloxane-diphenylsiloxane-methylvinylsiloxane copolymers, trimethylsiloxy-terminated dimethylsiloxane-methylvinylsiloxane copolymers, trimethylsiloxy-terminated dimethylsiloxane-methylphenylsiloxane-methylvinylsiloxane copolymers, dimethylvinylsiloxy-terminated methyl(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl) polysiloxanes, and dimethylvinylsiloxy-terminated dimethylsiloxane-methyl(3,3,-trifluoropropyl)siloxane copolymers, decadiene, octadiene, heptadiene, hexadiene, pentadiene, or tetradiene, or tridiene. 
         [0018]    Curing proceeds by the addition reaction of the silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms in the dimethyl methylhydrogen siloxane, with the siloxane or alpha-omega diene under catalysis using the catalyst mentioned herein. To form a highly crosslinked structure, the methyl hydrogen siloxane must contain at least 2 silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms in each molecule in order to optimize function as a crosslinker. 
         [0019]    The catalyst used in the addition reaction of silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms and alkenyl groups, and is concretely exemplified by chloroplatinic acid, possibly dissolved in an alcohol or ketone and this solution optionally aged, chloroplatinic acid-olefin complexes, chloroplatinic acid-alkenylsiloxane complexes, chloroplatinic acid-diketone complexes, platinum black, and carrier-supported platinum. 
         [0020]    Examples of suitable silicone elastomers for use in the compositions of the invention may be in the powder form, or dispersed or solubilized in solvents such as volatile or non-volatile silicones, or silicone compatible vehicles such as paraffinic hydrocarbons or esters. Examples of silicone elastomer powders include vinyl dimethicone/methicone silesquioxane crosspolymers like Shin-Etsu&#39;s KSP-100, KSP-101, KSP-102, KSP-103, KSP-104, KSP-105, hybrid silicone powders that contain a fluoroalkyl group like Shin-Etsu&#39;s KSP-200 which is a fluoro-silicone elastomer, and hybrid silicone powders that contain a phenyl group such as Shin-Etsu&#39;s KSP-300, which is a phenyl substituted silicone elastomer; and Dow Corning&#39;s DC 9506. Examples of silicone elastomer powders dispersed in a silicone compatible vehicle include dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspolymers supplied by a variety of suppliers including Dow Corning Corporation under the tradenames 9040 or 9041, GE Silicones under the tradename SFE 839, or Shin-Etsu Silicones under the tradenames KSG-15, 16, 18. KSG-15 has the CTFA name cyclopentasiloxane/dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer. KSG-18 has the INCI name phenyl trimethicone/dimethicone/phenyl vinyl dimethicone crossopolymer. Silicone elastomers may also be purchased from Grant Industries under the Gransil trademark. Also suitable are silicone elastomers having long chain alkyl substitutions such as lauryl dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspolymers supplied by Shin Etsu under the tradenames KSG-31, KSG-32, KSG-41, KSG-42, KSG-43, and KSG-44. Cross-linked organopolysiloxane elastomers useful in the present invention and processes for making them are further described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,970,252 to Sakuta et al., issued Nov. 13, 1990; U.S. Pat. No. 5,760,116 to Kilgour et al., issued Jun. 2, 1998; U.S. Pat. No. 5,654,362 to Schulz, Jr. et al. issued Aug. 5, 1997; and Japanese Patent Application JP 61-18708, assigned to Pola Kasei Kogyo KK, each of which are herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. It is particularly desirable to incorporate silicone elastomers into the compositions of the invention because they provide excellent “feel” to the composition, are very stable in cosmetic formulations, and relatively inexpensive. 
         [0021]    2. Emulsifying Silicone Elastomers 
         [0022]    Also suitable as the network are various types of crosslinked silicone elastomers that are often referred to as emulsifying elastomers because they have surfactancy properties. They are typically prepared as set forth above with respect to the section “non-emulsifying silicone elastomers” except that they typically contain at least one hydrophilic moiety such as polyoxyalkylenated groups. Typically these polyoxyalkylenated silicone elastomers are crosslinked organopolysiloxanes that may be obtained by a crosslinking addition reaction of diorganopolysiloxane comprising at least one hydrogen bonded to silicon and of a polyoxyalkylene comprising at least two ethylenically unsaturated groups. In at least one embodiment, the polyoxyalkylenated crosslinked organo-polysiloxanes are obtained by a crosslinking addition reaction of a diorganopolysiloxane comprising at least two hydrogens each bonded to a silicon, and a polyoxyalkylene comprising at least two ethylenically unsaturated groups, optionally in the presence of a platinum catalyst, as described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,236,986 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,412,004, U.S. Pat. No. 5,837,793 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,811,487, the contents of which are incorporated by reference. 
         [0023]    Polyoxyalkylenated silicone elastomers that may be used in at least one embodiment of the invention include those sold by Shin-Etsu Silicones under the names KSG-21, KSG-20, KSG-30, KSG-31, KSG-32, KSG-33; KSG-210 which is dimethicone/PEG-10/15 crosspolymer dispersed in dimethicone; KSG-310 which is PEG-15 lauryl dimethicone crosspolymer; KSG-320 which is PEG-15 lauryl dimethicone crosspolymer dispersed in isododecane; KSG-330 (the former dispersed in triethylhexanoin), KSG-340 which is a mixture of PEG-10 lauryl dimethicone crosspolymer and PEG-15 lauryl dimethicone crosspolymer. 
         [0024]    Also suitable are polyglycerolated silicone elastomers like those disclosed in PCT/WO 2004/024798, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Such elastomers include Shin-Etsu&#39;s KSG series, such as KSG-710 which is dimethicone/polyglycerin-3 crosspolymer dispersed in dimethicone; or lauryl dimethicone/polyglycerin-3 crosspolymer dispersed in a variety of solvent such as isododecane, dimethicone, triethylhexanoin, sold under the Shin-Etsu tradenames KSG-810, KSG-820, KSG-830, or KSG-840. Also suitable are silicones sold by Dow Corning under the tradenames 9010 and DC9011. 
         [0025]    B. Organophilic Clays 
         [0026]    Another suitable dispersion network may include organophilic clays, which are often referred to as monmorillonite minerals or metal silicate gelling agents. Such organophilic clays may be present in the non-quaternized or quaternized form, and may be reacted with fatty acids or other lipophilic materials. The organophilic clay may be natural or synthetic. The term “synthetic” means that the gelling agent is synthesized from simple silicates and salts in the presence of mineralizing agents, in contrast to natural metal silicates such as bentonite or hectorite which are obtained from clay and may be contaminated with other minerals such as dolomite or quartz. The term “gelling agent” means that the synthetic metal silicate is capable of gelling a polar or non-polar material into a gel or sol state. Suitable gelling agents include alkali metal silicate or alkaline earth metal silicate gelling agent. Suitable alkali metals or alkaline earth metals include sodium, potassium, magnesium, lithium, and the like. 
         [0027]    The metal silicates may be made in a variety of ways well known in the art. For example, Granquist and Pollack, in Clays and Clay Minerals on pages 150-169, teach the manufacture of synthetic metal silicates by combining pre-washed gels of magnesium hydroxide and silica and redispersing in water to form a suspension. Then lithium hydroxide, lithium fluoride, or sodium hydroxide are added to the suspension, which is then treated hydrothermally by refluxing with stirring until a product having a crystal structure similar to hectorite is formed. 
         [0028]    Another metal silicate suitable for use in the claimed composition may be synthesized as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,586,478, which is hereby incorporated by reference. The &#39;478 patent teaches the formation of synthetic metal silicates by forming an aqueous slurry of a water soluble magnesium salt, sodium silicate, sodium carbonate and/or sodium hydroxide, and a source of lithium or fluoride ions which may be lithium fluoride or a lithium compound in conjunction with hydrofluoric acid, fluorosilicic acid, sodium silico fluoride, or sodium fluoride. The aqueous slurry is formed by co-precipitation by combining the magnesium salt, the acid sodium silicate, and the sodium carbonate or hydroxide with heating and agitation in an aqueous medium which contains the source of fluoride ions. 
         [0029]    Also suitable are synthetic metal silicates made as described in British Patent No. 1,213,122. These metal silicates are made by combining a water soluble magnesium salt with an aqueous alkaline solution of one or more sodium compounds in the presence of the dissolved silicon material, while maintaining the pH from 8 to 12.5, and thereafter exposing the mixture to high temperature and pressure. The resulting solid and liquid phases are then separated to obtain the synthetic metal silicate. 
         [0030]    If desired, the metal silicate gelling agent may be quaternized, that is reacted with one or more quaternary ammonium compounds. In addition, the metal silicate gelling agent may also be reacted with one or more fatty acids to confer lipophilicity. Examples of suitable metal silicate gelling agents include those typically sold under the Bentone™ brand such as disteardimonium hectorite, disteardimonium bentonite, Quaternium-18 hectorite, stearalkonium hectorite, dehydrogenated tallow benzylmonium hectorite, benzyldimethylstearylammonium hectorite, dimethyldistearyl ammonium hectorite, synthetic hectorite, bentonite, stearalkonium bentonite, dimethyldistearyl ammonium bentonite, and the like.

Suitable oils include silicones, esters, vegetable oils, synthetic oils, including but not limited to those set forth herein. The oils may be volatile or nonvolatile, and are in the form of a pourable liquid at room temperature. The term “volatile” means that the oil has a measurable vapor pressure, or a vapor pressure of at least about 2 mm. of mercury at 20° C. The term “nonvolatile” means that the oil has a vapor pressure of less than about 2 mm. of mercury at 20° C.
