Description

VERY FOAMING CLEANSING COMPOSITION

FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY

This disclosure relates to cleaning compositions. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a high foaming, high pigment removal cleaning composition, the composition having two phases and including a polyurethane, a silicone oil in water microemulsion and an oil or an ester.

CONTEXT

Consumers of cosmetic cleansing compositions often seek products which have a pleasing aesthetic property of lathering power, which is perceived by a consumer as evidence of effective cleansing ability. Used as makeup removers, these cleansers are ideally able to effectively remove makeup that contains a high amount of pigment. There are several examples in the art which describe products having either of these desirable properties which include high foaming power and pigment removal.

Conventional cleansers that contain oil and/or esters for their emollient properties and to remove oil from the skin and hair typically use surfactants which can provide a pleasant foaming power. But these compositions are usually oil-in-water emulsions that can effectively prevent the oil phase from coming into contact with makeup and washing it away.

Conventional make-up removal products that contain a high oil and/or ester content and are suitable for the removal of make-up with a high pigment content do not show any significant foaming properties. There is a need for a cleansing composition that provides the desired foaming properties that consumers strongly prefer, combined with a strong ability to remove oil-based pigmented makeups, that also provides other beneficial and effective properties that consumers seek. including a pleasant feeling on the skin and mild emollient and cleansing benefits.

The present inventors have provided a clear composition that combines the benefits of conventional cleansers and makeup removers in a single formulation with the desirable properties that consumers seek. The inclusion of the polyurethane and silicone oil-in-water microemulsion components allows the high oil/ester content component to contact the keratinous substrate and achieve high pigment removal capability while imparting pleasant property of high foaming power.

SHORT SUMMARY

In an exemplary embodiment, a cleaning composition includes at least one polyurethane, at least one silicone oil-in-water microemulsion, and at least one oil or ester. The cleansing composition is essentially free of emulsifiers.

Other features and advantages of the present disclosure will become apparent from the following more detailed description of the preferred embodiment which illustrates, by way of example, the principles of the disclosure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

According to the disclosure, a cleaning composition is provided which comprises at least one polyurethane, at least one silicone oil in water microemulsion and at least one oil or ester. The cleansing composition is crystal clear and feels great on the skin when applied, demonstrating surprisingly high foam production in formulations that include up to approximately 50% by weight oil. The composition also offers mild emollient and cleansing benefits, including a surprisingly high ability to remove oily pigments. Today's personal care products have only one of the characteristics of high foaming power and high pigment removal. Typical "cleansers" are very foamy but aren't particularly good at removing heavy, oily pigments like those found in lipsticks, mascaras, and other makeup compositions. Typical "makeup removers" offer acceptable pigment removal capacity, but do not include foaming power. Consumers express a desire for products that have both of these properties. The present disclosure provides such a composition which includes the high foaming benefits seen in typical cleansers and the high makeup removal ability of typical makeup removers, combined in a single composition.

As used herein, the term "stability", with respect to a cleaning composition, refers to the cleaning composition remaining in a high viscosity mixed state and not separating, such as an absence of phase separation. Such properties can be achieved even with the inclusion of large amounts of oils and/or esters, which generally alter surface tension and reduce or prevent foaming in a composition. In some embodiments, a cleaning composition has a high viscosity while containing a high concentration of oils and/or esters, which tends to reduce the viscosity of a composition. Such properties can be achieved even with the inclusion of high amounts of silicones. In some embodiments, a cleaning composition has a high viscosity while containing a high concentration of silicones, which would tend to reduce the viscosity of a composition.

Stability is evidenced by direct viscosity measurement or visual inspection, or both. For purposes of the present invention, a composition that demonstrates physical stability and does not separate or flow, as shown by visual inspection, is stable. In various embodiments, an inventive composition remains stable at temperatures between about 5°C and about 45°C, for a period of at least two months, or at least three months, or at least four months, or at least six months, or any value, range or sub-range in between. In some embodiments, a cleaning composition is stable at 25°C for at least three months, or at least four months, or at least six months, or at least nine months, or at least 12 months, or any value, range or intermediate sub-range. In some embodiments, a cleaning composition is stable at 45°C for at least one month, or at least two months, or at least three months, or at least four months, or at least six months, or any value, range or intermediate sub-range. As indicated and illustrated herein, a cleaning composition is stable at 45°C for at least about three months or longer.

As used herein with respect to the foaming property of cleaning formulas, including the inventive cleaning composition, the term "foaming power" means and refers to the ability of a composition (inventive or comparative) to develop foam by friction or agitation which would be associated with the application and gentle rubbing of the skin or other keratinous substrates with the formula. Reference is made to the test method for establishing foaming power using equipment well known in the art, namely analysis using a Krauss DFA100 ^TM dynamic foam analyzer, which provides a relative measure the height of foam obtained by stirring in a sample having a fixed volume. Foaming power as used herein in relation to foaming power on a keratinous substrate, such as facial skin, is based on a scale from low to high, where the scale generally correlates with foaming power in using a dynamic foam analyzer to provide: low </=220ml foam), medium (~225 to 240ml), to high (>/= 250ml). Thus, the term "high foaming" with respect to a cleaning composition refers to a composition which has high foaming power.

In exemplary embodiments, the cleansing composition includes an emulsion. In some embodiments, the cleansing composition is transparent.

In some embodiments, the cleansing composition is a skin cleanser.

In some embodiments, the cleansing composition is a shampoo.

In some embodiments, the cleansing composition is a shower gel.

In some embodiments, the cleansing composition is a makeup remover.

The inventive and comparative compositions were evaluated for their effectiveness in removing pigmented makeup. The results of the assessments are presented in TABLE 3.

As used herein in connection with makeup removal, the term "makeup removal ability" or "DEM ability" refers to the ability of a composition (inventive or comparative) to remove long-lasting makeup, such as lipstick or a pigmented mascara, as exemplified herein, or any other makeup product designed to have long-lasting properties and resistance to makeup removal and smudging. The data in TABLE 3 reflects the results of makeup removal with the mascara and lipstick formulations. All percentages shown relate to mascara removal, where the percentages reflect the percentage of makeup removed with the formulation being tested, which is determined based on the weight of mascara removed (g) divided by the weight of mascara applied (g) multiplied by 100. Other representations of make-up removal ability can be characterized on a scale from very low (~0-25%), low (~25-40%), medium (~40-55 %), high (~55-85%) to very high (>85%).

Referring to each of TABLES 3 and 4, it is apparent that only the inventive composition which includes each of water-dispersed polyurethane, silicone oil-in-water microemulsion, and oil/ester (exemplified as a mixture of oils / esters) demonstrates a high foaming power and a great make-up removal capacity. This result is unexpected since typical make-up removal formulations that include both oil/ester solvents with surfactants and/or silicone emulsions typically do not provide foaming power, and further since formulations Typical foaming type oils that include polyurethane do not provide significant makeup removal and are known to lose their foaming ability when adding large amounts of oils such as those required for hair cleansers. The present inventive composition makes it possible to obtain a high foaming power and a high make-up removal capacity.

Although the disclosure has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the scope of disclosure. In addition, many modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation or matter to the teachings of the Disclosure without departing from the essential scope of the Disclosure. Although various aspects and embodiments have been disclosed herein, other aspects and embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The various aspects and various embodiments disclosed herein are illustrative and not intended to be limiting, the true scope and spirit being indicated by the following claims.

The article "the", "the", "the" or "the" which precedes nouns or nominal expressions in the singular or in the plural designates a particular specified characteristic or particular specified characteristics and may have a singular or plural connotation according to the context in which it is used. The adjective "all" means one, several or all without distinction of quantity.

“At least one” as used herein means one or more and therefore includes individual components as well as mixtures/combinations.

The transitional terms "comprising", "consisting essentially of" and "consisting of", when used in the appended claims, in their original and amended form, define the scope of the claim with respect to the elements or steps additional unlisted, if any, which are excluded from the scope of the claim(s). The term "comprising" is intended to be inclusive or open ended and does not exclude any additional elements, processes, steps or materials not listed. The term "consisting of" excludes any element, process, step or material other than those specified in the claim and, in the latter case, the impurities usually associated with the specified material(s). The term "consisting essentially of" limits the scope of a claim to the elements, steps or material(s) specified and to those which do not materially affect the basic and novel feature(s) of the claimed disclosure. All of the materials and methods described herein that constitute this disclosure may, in other embodiments, be defined more specifically by one of the transitional terms "comprising", "consisting essentially of" and "consisting of ".

The terms "free" and "free" indicate that no reliably measurable excluded material is present in the composition, typically 0% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. The term "substantially free" means that, although it is preferred that no excluded material be present in the composition, it is possible to have very small amounts of the excluded material in the composition of the invention, provided that these amounts do not materially affect the beneficial properties of the composition. In particular, "essentially free" means that the excluded material may be present in the composition in an amount less than about 0.1% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition.

All percentages and ratios are calculated by weight unless otherwise stated. All percentages are calculated on the basis of the total composition, unless otherwise indicated. As a general rule, unless expressly stated otherwise, "weight" or "quantity", as used herein in relation to the percentage quantity of an ingredient, refers to the quantity of raw material comprising the ingredient, wherein the raw material may be described herein as having a lower potency and up to 100% of the ingredient. Therefore, the weight percentage of an active in a composition is represented by the amount of raw material containing the active that is used, and may or may not reflect the final percentage of the active, wherein the final percentage of the The active depends on the percentage by weight of the active in the raw material.

All ranges and quantities given herein are intended to include subranges and quantities using any point disclosed as a bound. Thus, a range of "1% to 10%, such as 2% to 8%, such as 3% to 5%" is intended to encompass ranges of "1% to 8%", "1% to 5%", " 2% to 10%”, etc. All figures, quantities, ranges, etc., are intended to be modified by the term "approximately", whether or not expressly stated. Similarly, a given range of "about 1% to 10%" is meant to have the term "about" modifying both the 1% and 10% bounds. Further, it is understood that where an amount of a component is given, it is intended to mean the amount of active ingredient, unless expressly stated otherwise.

Although the numerical ranges and parameters defining the general scope of the disclosure are approximations, unless otherwise indicated, the numerical values given in the specific examples are reported as accurately as possible. Any numerical value, however, inherently contains certain errors necessarily resulting from the standard deviation found in their respective test measurements. The examples serve to illustrate embodiments of this disclosure without being limiting in nature.
