Cosmetic composition comprising a fixing polymer and a specific thickener and uses in styling

Abstract

The present patent application relates to a hair styling composition, characterized in that it comprises: (i) one or more cationic fixing polymers, and (ii) one or more (meth)acrylic thickening polymers other than the fixing polymer or polymers (i), and (iii) from 5 to 27% by weight of water, with respect to the total weight of the cosmetic composition, (iv) from 70 to 90% by weight of one or more C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 alcohols, with respect to the total weight of the cosmetic composition.

Claims

1. A cosmetic composition comprising: (i) one or more cationic fixing polymers; (ii) one or more (meth)acrylic thickening polymers other than the fixing polymer or polymers (i) chosen from acrylic associative thickeners, crosslinked acrylic acid homopolymers, or crosslinked copolymers of (meth)acrylic acid and of (C.sub.1-C.sub.6)alkyl acrylate; (iii) from 5 to 27% by weight of water, with respect to the total weight of the cosmetic composition; and (iv) from 70 to 90% by weight of one or more C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 alcohols, with respect to the total weight of the cosmetic composition.

2. The cosmetic composition according to claim 1, wherein the (meth)acrylic thickening polymer or polymers are anionic.

3. The cosmetic composition according to claim 1, comprising from 0.05 to 20% by weight of one or more (meth)acrylic thickening polymers, with respect to the total weight of the composition.

4. The composition according to claim 1, comprising from 0.1 to 10% by weight of one or more (meth)acrylic thickening polymers, with respect to the total weight of the composition.

5. The composition according to claim 1, comprising from 0.3 to 5% by weight of one or more (meth)acrylic thickening polymers, with respect to the total weight of the composition.

6. The cosmetic composition according to claim 1, comprising water in an amount ranging from 5 to 15% by weight, with respect to the total weight of the composition.

7. The cosmetic composition according to claim 1, comprising one or more C.sub.2 to C.sub.6 alcohols in an amount ranging from 75 to 85% with respect to the total weight of the composition.

8. The cosmetic composition according to claim 1, wherein the C.sub.2 to C.sub.6 alcohol is a monoalcohol.

9. The cosmetic composition according to claim 1, wherein the C.sub.2 to C.sub.6 alcohol is chosen from ethanol and isopropanol.

10. The cosmetic composition according to claim 1, wherein the C.sub.2 to C.sub.6 alcohol is ethanol.

11. The cosmetic composition according to claim 1, wherein the cosmetic composition is in the form of a gel.

12. The cosmetic composition according to claim 1, having a viscosity of greater than or equal to 4 Pa.Math.s, at a temperature of 25° C. and at a shear rate of 1 s.sup.−1.

13. The cosmetic composition according to claim 1, having a viscosity ranging from 4 Pa.Math.s to 500 Pa.Math.s, at a temperature of 25° C. and at a shear rate of 1 s.sup.−1.

14. A method of styling hair comprising: applying to the hair cosmetic composition comprising: (i) one or more cationic fixing polymers; (ii) one or more (meth)acrylic thickening polymers other than the fixing polymer or polymers (i) chosen from acrylic associative thickeners, crosslinked acrylic acid homopolymers, or crosslinked copolymers of (meth)acrylic acid and of (C.sub.1-C.sub.6)alkyl acrylate; (iii) from 5 to 27% by weight of water, with respect to the total weight of the cosmetic composition; and (iv) from 70 to 90% by weight of one or more C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 alcohols, with respect to the total weight of the cosmetic composition; optionally rinsing the hair; and optionally shaping and drying the hair.
