Title: Transfer resistant cosmetics and method of making

Description:
CLAIM OF PRIORITY 
     This patent application claims the benefit of priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/411,172, entitled TRANSFER RESISTANT COSMETICS AND METHOD OF MAKING, which was filed on Nov. 8, 2010, and which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. 
    
    
     FIELD 
     Inventive subject matter disclosed herein relates to anhydrous cosmetic embodiments and method embodiments for making anhydrous cosmetics having transfer resistant properties. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Use of cosmetics has had a long and interesting history. Women started coloring their lips at least about 5000 years ago when Mesopotamian women decorated their lips with crushed jewels. Ancient Egyptians applied minerals to their faces to define their eyes and other features. Roman women treated their teeth and eyebrows. 
     For many centuries, men and women used a whitening agent on their faces. The whitening agent included one or more carbonates, hydroxides and lead oxide. This unfortunate agent was replaced in the nineteenth century by zinc oxide. 
     Modern cosmetics have ranges of purpose and effectiveness not contemplated by earlier generations. Purposes are both aesthetic and are related to improvement or maintenance of skin condition.

     Ingredients of the cosmetic formulation having long lasting transfer resistance include the following: 
     Gel 
     Gel embodiments include a blend of from 1 to 50 weight percent of at least one block copolymer, wherein the block copolymer has at least one polystyrene block and at least one unsaturated rubber block; and from 99 to 50 weight percent of natural oil. The composition results in a clear natural oil gel. 
     The block copolymer portion represents from 1 to 50% by weight of the composition. For some embodiments, the block copolymer is a single block copolymer or a mixture of different block copolymers. The block copolymers have unsaturated rubber blocks, for examples, SBS, SB, SIS, SI, (SB)n, and (SI)n. The block copolymers have a polystyrene content from 5% to 80%, for some embodiments from 10% to 50%, and for some embodiments, from 15% to 40% by weight of the block copolymer. Examples of these copolymers include Kraton® D Polymers and Vector® polymers. 
     The natural oils of the gel described herein may be plant or animal oils, and tend to be liquid at the room temperature. They are extracted from a wide range of plants and animals. An example of animal oils is fish oil. The most preferred natural oils of the invention are plant or vegetable oils. For example a preferred vegetable oil is jojoba oil, which is a monoester of eicosanoic and docosanoic acids and eicosanol and docosanol alcohols. Most other vegetable oils are triglycerides of glycerin and fatty acids which are largely unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid and linoleic acid. The vegetable oils of the present invention include non-genetically modified oils, genetically modified oils, organic grown oils, non-organic grown oils, and mixtures thereof. 
     In general, vegetable oils are readily available and prepared by extraction from plant seeds. Examples of the vegetable oils or plant oils include, but are not limited to, almond, avocado, castor, coconut, corn, cottonseed, olive, peanut, rice bran, safflower, sesame, soybean, sunflower, walnut, canola, refined palm, meadaowfoam, tea tree oil, etc. 
     The clear natural oil gels used in inventive cosmetic composition embodiments described herein may additionally contain auxiliary ingredients including a) skin compatible hydrophobic emollients including, but not limited to, sensory enhancers, synthetic esters, and hydrocarbon oils, the preferred ones being those derived from natural oils; b) skin benefit agents; and c) colorants, fumed silica, cornstarch, antioxidants, etc. Additional information regarding the get is found in U.S. Pat. No. 7,674,848, which is herein incorporated by reference. 
     Coconut Alkanes: 
     The coconut alkanes include a volatile oily composition having from 50 to 100% by weight of a mixture of linear paraffins that include 70 to 99% by weight of at least one linear paraffin selected from C %, C 10 , C 12  paraffins and mixtures thereof, (ii) 1 to 30% by weight of at least one C 14  to C 24  linear paraffin, and (b) from 0 to 50% by weight of at least one non-volatile oil. 
     As used herein, the word, “between” refers to including the cited limits. 
     The coconut alkanes have a volatility within the same range as cycllomethicones, i.e. a vapour pressure in the region of 0.001 to 300 mm Hg at ambient temperature (20° C.) and atmospheric pressure. The coconut alkanes form a film having a soft, non-greasy touch and a reduced gloss similar to those of cyclomethicones. This oily composition further has a flash point (measured as per the ASTM D93 standard) below 100° C., and/or a kinematic viscosity below 5 cSt, or between 1 and 3 cSt, at 40° C. This association of raw materials may thus partly or completely substitute the volatile silicones conventionally used in cosmetic compositions and more particularly cyclopentasiloxane and mixtures containing same (such as DC345® sold by DOW CORNING). The paraffins (or fatty alkanes) contained in the oily composition according to the invention may be advantageously obtained according to a method comprising the following successive steps: 
     1-dehydration of at least one Ce—C 24  fatty alcohol to obtain an alkene, and 
     2-hydrogenation of said alkene to an alkane. The first step of this method may particularly be implemented as described in the document US 2008/0287722, i.e. at a temperature of 190 to 260° C., for some embodiments, temperatures of 220 to 250° C., in the presence of a dehydration catalyst consisting of trifluoromethane sulphonic acid, which may represent 0.5 to 3% of the weight of the alcohol, for example. The alcohol dehydrated in this step may be obtained from plant sources and particularly be obtained by saponification of natural oils or fats. However, it is preferable for it to be obtained according to a method comprising a transesterification step of fatty acid triglycerides, for some embodiments, of plant origin, followed by a hydrogenation step of the fatty acid esters (for example methyl esters) obtained. The use of fatty alcohols of plant origin leads to alkenes containing an even number of carbon atoms, generally in mixture form. This mixture may also comprise a minor amount of branched alkenes. 
     The second step of this method may be implemented in a conventional manner for those skilled in the art, according to techniques used in the food processing industry for hydrogenating oils, and particularly placing the alkene(s) in contact with a catalyst comprising a transition metal. The alkanes obtained preferably contain, as above, an even number of carbon atoms. They are linear, although they may also include a minor amount of branched alkanes. 
     Obviously, this method may further comprise other steps (preliminary, intermediate and/or subsequent steps) than those mentioned above. Alternatively, commercially available paraffins, such as those available from SASOL under the brand name Parafol® (particularly Parafol® 14-97 for tetradecane) may be used in the oily composition according to the invention. The oily composition according to the invention comprises 70 to 99% by weight, for example 70 to 90% or 90 to 99% by weight, Cg, C 10  and/or C 12  paraffin(s) and 1 to 30% by weight, for example 10 to 30% or 1 to 10% by weight, C 14  to C 24  paraffin(s). These two types of paraffins may be obtained separately and mixed, or obtained jointly from a mixture of fatty alcohols, particularly of plant origin, according to the method described above. Among the C %, C 10  and/or C 12  paraffin(s), the C 12  paraffin is preferred. Moreover, as explained above, the C 14  to C 24  paraffin(s) are preferably chosen among those having an even number of carbon atoms, still preferably the C 14  paraffin. Furthermore, preferably, the oily composition according to the invention comprises, or consists only of, dodecane and tetradecane. 
     In addition to the abovementioned paraffins, and according to the desired volatility, the oily composition according to the invention may contain at least one non-volatile oil. According to the present invention, the term “oil” refers to a liquid compound at ambient temperature (25° C.), which, when introduced at a rate of at least 1% by weight in water at 25° C., is not at all soluble in water, or soluble at a rate of less than 10% by weight, with reference to the weight of oil introduced into the water. In this description, the term “non-volatile oil” refers to an oil remaining on the skin at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure for a plurality of hours, in the absence of friction, and/or having a vapour pressure less than 0.001 mm Hg under these conditions. 
     Examples of non-volatile oils include: mineral or synthetic branched hydrocarbons, synthetic (poly)esters and(poly)others and particularly (poly)esters C 2 -C 24  (such as C 6 -C 20 ) acids and C 2 -C 24  (such as C 6 -C 20 ) alcohols or polyols, which are advantageously branched, C O -C 20  fatty acid triglycerides, vegetable dialkyl carbonates such as dicaprylyl carbonate, branched and/or unsaturated fatty acids (such as linoteic and linolenic acids), branched and/or unsaturated fatty alcohols (such as octyidodecanol or hexyldecanol), silicone fluorosilicone oils, fluorinated oils, and mixtures thereof. The term “hydrocarbon” refers to an oil containing only hydrogen and carbon atoms.

     In one embodiment, the cosmetic composition is a lipstick of high transfer resistance. The lipstick is made with a three-roller milt a stirrer and a propeller. One step of the method includes preparing a colorant phase. The colorant phase includes combining colorant ingredients such as D&amp;C Red NO. 7 Calcium Lake, iron oxides, titanium dioxide, and other colorants as desired. Coconut alkanes, such as Vegelight 1214C, are added to the colorant ingredients in a concentration effective to make a paste. The paste is passed through a 3-roller at least 3-4 times. The pigment grind is checked under a Hegman gauge to ensure good pigment dispersion. 
     In another step, a coconut gel, such as Nature Vgel, is added to a container, such as a reactor. The coconut gel is heated to 85 to 90° C. The coconut gel is mixed to obtain a uniform mixture. Polyethylene is added to the heated coconut gel at a temperature of 85 to 90° C. to form a PE-gel mixture. The PE-gel mixture is then well mixed to ensure that waxes are completely melted or homogeneous. 
     Coconut alkanes, for some embodiments, Vegelight 1214C are added to the coconut gel and polyethylene mixture at a temperature of 85° C., to 90° C., forming a PE-gel-alkane mixture. The PE-gel-alkane mixture then mixed. 
       Acacia Decurrens /Jojoba/Sunflower Seed wax/Polyglyeryl 3-ester is added to the PE-gel-alkane mixture. Caprylyl glycol is also added to the coconut alkanes, gel mixture. 
     The colorant paste, including the coconut alkanes, is quickly added to the heated mixture of coconut gel and polyethylene to form anew mixture. The new mixture is mixed and held at a temperature within a range of 85 to 90° C. 
     The temperature of 85° C. to 90° C. is maintained, Mica and lauroyl lysine, titanium dioxide and mica and mica are added one at a time to the new mixture. 
     For some embodiments, a fragrance is added to the mixture and mixed. The mixture is then poured into stick molds at 85° C. to make lipstick.
