Anhydrous foaming composition

Abstract

The subject-matter of the present invention is an anhydrous cosmetic composition comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium: at least one nonionic surfactant, at least one anionic surfactant, at least 25% of at least one filler. The article is partially or completely soluble in water and it constitutes a foaming product used for cleansing the skin and hair and/or removing makeup from the skin and/or as scrubbing product.

Claims

1. A cosmetic composition comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium: at least one nonionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of sucrose ester, and glycerol ester, at least one anionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of alkylsulphate, alkylethersulphate, isethionate, sulphosuccinate, soap obtained from a fatty acid which is partially or completely neutralized with a basic agent, and acylaminoacid, with the proviso that the composition does not comprise sodium lauryl sulfate and does not comprise a sodium lauryl ether sulfate, at least one binding agent selected from the group consisting of a polyol, a sugar and a mixture thereof, at least 25% by weight with respect to the total weight of the composition of particles chosen from fillers, fibres and their mixtures, wherein the composition is anhydrous and forms a foam in the presence of water which is removeable by rinsing with water.

2. The anhydrous cosmetic composition according to claim 1, wherein the at least one nonionic surfactant is an ester of sucrose and of a fatty acid.

3. The anhydrous cosmetic composition according to claim 2, wherein the fatty acid comprises from 10 to 24 carbon atoms.

4. The anhydrous cosmetic composition according to claim 2, wherein the fatty acid is selected from the group consisting of oleic acid, lauric acid, palmitic acid, myristic acid, stearic acid, linoleic acid, capric acid and a mixture thereof.

5. The anhydrous cosmetic composition according to claim 2, wherein the ester of sucrose and of a fatty acid is sucrose laurate, sucrose palmitate or a mixture thereof.

6. The anhydrous cosmetic composition according to claim 1, wherein the at least one nonionic surfactant is present in an amount of from 0.1 to 20% by weight with respect to the total weight of the composition.

7. The anhydrous cosmetic composition according to claim 1, wherein the at least one anionic surfactant is present in a content of from 0.1 to 20% by weight with respect to the total weight of the composition.

8. The anhydrous cosmetic composition according to claim 1, wherein the particles are present in a content of greater than or equal to 30% by weight with respect to the total weight of the composition.

9. The anhydrous cosmetic composition according to claim 1, wherein the particles are present in a content of from 25 to 90% by weight with respect to the total weight of the composition.

10. The anhydrous cosmetic composition according to claim 1, wherein the particles comprise fillers and fibres.

11. The anhydrous cosmetic composition according to claim 1, wherein the particles comprise at least one filler selected from the group consisting of talc, kaolin and their mixtures.

12. The anhydrous cosmetic composition according to claim 1, wherein the particles comprise fibres selected from the group consisting of polyamide fibres, cellulose fibres, polyethylene fibres and their mixtures.

13. The anhydrous cosmetic composition according to claim 1, wherein the particles comprise fibres and the fibres are present in a content ranging from 0.1 to 30% by weight with respect to the total weight of the composition.

14. The anhydrous cosmetic composition according to claim 1, wherein the binding agent is present in an amount of from 3 to 80% by weight with respect to the total weight of the composition.

15. A method for cleansing or removing makeup from keratinous substances, comprising applying the anhydrous cosmetic composition according to claim 1 to the keratinous substances.

16. The anhydrous cosmetic composition according to claim 1, wherein the at least one nonionic surfactant is sucrose laurate; the at least one anionic surfactant is sodium lauroyl glutamate, and the at least one binding agent is present in an amount of from 3 to 80% by weight with respect to the total weight of the composition.

EXAMPLES

Example 1: Foaming Composition in the Form of a Modelling Clay

(1) TABLE-US-00001 Phase A Propylene glycol 29.4 Glycerin 5 Sucrose laurate (Surfhope 7 SE Cosme C-1216 from Mitsubishi Kagaku Foods Corp.) Fragrance 0.1 Phase B Sodium lauroyl glutamate (Amisoft 5 LS 11 (Ajinomoto)) Kaolinite (Kaolin Polwhite B 10 from Imerys) Cellulose fibres (Elcema F 150 2.5 from Rettenmaier, 150 microns) Rice grain husk powder 5 (Ricesilk from Soliance) Titanium oxide 1 Talc (4.5 microns) 35 (Imperial 400 (3478 H) from Luzenac)

(2) Procedure Phase A: The sucrose laurate is dissolved in the propylene glycol and the glycerin while stirring at slow speed with a deflocculating paddle. Phase B: At the same time, the powders are mixed with the sodium lauroyl glutamate while stirring with a mixer for approximately two minutes. Phase A is added to phase B while continuing to stir using a stirrer or mixer.

(3) The above composition mixes well with water and exhibits good foaming properties.
