- DESCRIPTION TITLE SOLID COMPOSITION COMPRISING A CATIONIC SURFACTANT, A STARCH, AN AMPHOTERIC SURFACTANT AND A FATTY SUBSTANCE
- the present invention relates to a solid composition intended in particular for the cosmetic treatment, and more particularly the care, of keratin fibres, notably human keratin fibres such as the hair, and which comprises at least one cationic surfactant, at least one starch, at least one amphoteric surfactant and at least one fatty substance.
- the invention also relates to a packaging article containing said solid composition, and also to cosmetic processes for treating keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair, using said solid composition or said packaging article.
- the invention also relates to the use of said solid composition or of said packaging article for the cosmetic treatment, preferably the care, of keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair.
- products for caring for (or conditioning) keratin fibres are generally intended to condition said fibres in order to give them good cosmetic properties.
- Conventional products, such as conditioners are usually in more or less thickened liquid form.
- these products may have various drawbacks, and may notably prove to be difficult to measure out. The reason for this is that the more liquid they are, the greater their tendency to escape between the fingers, making them difficult to measure out and leading to waste.
- novel solid cosmetic formulations notably conditioners in the form of solid granules or powder
- Such formulations are described, for example, in US 2021/007960.
- these novel formulations are not always entirely satisfactory.
- Those which are in loose powder form may, indeed, pose problems of volatility, uptake and/or measuring out.
- Those which are in the form of agglomerates, for instance granules may have a tendency to disintegrate or break down with difficulty in the presence of water, having a negative impact on their use and their spreading on keratin fibres, and not always permitting satisfactory care to be obtained.
- Conditioners in powder or particle form may lose fluidity during storage due to the agglutination of the individual solid particles with each other, which may have a negative impact on the working qualities.
- These formulations may also not be entirely satisfactory in terms of cosmetic performance qualities, notably in terms of suppleness, feel, softness, disentangling, smoothness and sheen.
- solid compositions notably in powder or particle form, they must not agglutinate together on storage, so as not to deteriorate the working qualities.
- the composition must also afford good cosmetic properties, notably in terms of suppleness, feel, softness, coating, sheen and disentangling. It has now been found that a solid composition comprising at least one cationic surfactant, at least one starch, at least one amphoteric surfactant and at least one fatty substance makes it possible to achieve the objectives presented above, and notably to propose a composition in solid form which combines good conditioning power, without, however, requiring large amounts of water.
- One subject of the present invention is thus a solid composition
- a solid composition comprising: i) one or more cationic surfactants, ii) one or more starches, iii) one or more amphoteric surfactants, iv) one or more fatty substances.
- Said solid composition may more particularly be a cosmetic composition, notably a hair composition, and advantageously, a hair conditioning composition.
- the particular combination of the compounds of the invention makes it possible to obtain a solid composition that is easy to take up, to handle and to measure out.
- the composition thus obtained has a cohesion or granulation such that the uptake and measuring-out properties are improved, while at the same time avoiding undesired agglomerates which have a negative impact on the working qualities.
- the composition can then be packaged in single-dose form, which is a form that is particularly advantageous, for example, when travelling or performing a sporting activity (lightened bags, limited risks of leakage, reduced waste).
- this composition breaks down rapidly on contact with water and makes it possible readily and quickly to obtain easy spreading and uniform distribution over the keratin fibres comparable to those of a conventional liquid conditioner composition.
- the composition according to the invention also makes it possible to obtain good coating of the keratin fibres, with a uniform and gliding finish.
- the composition of the invention rinses out rapidly without leaving unpleasant residues on the fibres and gives them a natural, clean feel after rinsing.
- Fibres treated with the composition of the invention have good cosmetic properties, notably in terms of softness, suppleness and feel. They also have good strand separation and are thus easier to disentangle.
- a subject of the present invention is also a process for the cosmetic treatment, notably for the care, of keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair, comprising the application to said keratin fibres of a solid composition as defined below, the solid composition being applied directly to said keratin fibres or after having been moistened beforehand with water.
- the present invention also relates to the use of a solid composition as defined below for the cosmetic treatment, preferably the care, of keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair.
- the present invention also relates to a packaging article comprising: - an envelope defining at least one cavity, the envelope comprising one or more water-soluble and/or liposoluble compounds; - a solid composition comprising: i) one or more cationic surfactants, ii) one or more starches, iii) one or more amphoteric surfactants, and iv) one or more fatty substances; it being understood that the solid composition is in one of the cavities defined by the envelope.
- This packaging article notably solves the problems of measuring out of the solid composition. It also facilitates its storage and transportation. In particular, the packaging article of the invention affords better protection of the composition against moisture.
- the packaging article may also make it possible to obtain a final keratin fibre care composition that is more thickened in the hand, which may be in cream form, without lumps, without leaving residues on the hair after rinsing.
- the packaging article may thus improve, notably facilitate, the distribution of the composition over keratin fibres.
- the packaging article may make it possible to better control the dose of composition employed on keratin fibres, thus reducing the risks of waste.
- the packaging article also makes it possible to minimize the risks of breaking down of the composition.
- the invention also relates to the use of the above packaging article for the cosmetic treatment, preferably for the care, of keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair.
- the invention also relates to a process for the cosmetic treatment, notably for the care, of keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair, comprising a step of using at least one packaging article as defined above.
- said cosmetic treatment process comprises the following steps: a) mixing the packaging article in a composition that is capable of dissolving, totally or partially, the envelope of said packaging article, b) applying the composition obtained in step a) to the keratin fibres, c) optionally leaving to stand, d) rinsing said keratin fibres, e) optionally drying said keratin fibres.

- the envelope when it contains fibres, it may be woven or nonwoven. According to a first variant of the invention, the envelope may be woven.
- a “woven” material results from an organized assembly of fibres, in particular of water-soluble polymeric fibres, and more particularly of an intercrossing, in the same plane, of said fibres, arranged in the direction of the warp and of fibres arranged, perpendicular to the warp fibres, in the direction of the weft.
- the bonding obtained between these warp and weft fibres is defined by a weave.
- Such a woven material results from an operation directed towards assembling the fibres in an organized manner such as weaving per se, but may also result from knitting.
- the envelope is nonwoven.
- nonwoven fabric refers to a substrate comprising fibres, in particular water-soluble polymeric fibres, in which the individual fibres are arranged in a disordered manner in a structure in the form of a lap and which are neither woven nor knitted.
- the fibres of the nonwoven fabric are generally bonded together, either under the effect of a mechanical action (for example needle punching, air jet or water jet), or under the effect of a thermal action, or by addition of a binder.
- Such a nonwoven fabric is, for example, defined by the standard ISO 9092 as a web or lap of directionally or randomly oriented fibres, bonded by friction and/or cohesion and/or adhesion, excluding paper and products which are woven, knitted, tufted or stitch-bonded incorporating bonding yarns or filaments.
- a nonwoven fabric differs from a paper by the length of the fibres used. In paper, the fibres are shorter. However, there are nonwoven fabrics based on cellulose fibre, which are manufactured by a wet-laid process and which have short fibres like in paper. The difference between a nonwoven fabric and a paper is generally the absence of hydrogen bonding between the fibres in a nonwoven fabric.
- the fibres used in the context of the present invention are chosen from synthetic fibres such as PVA fibres.
- the envelope is nonwoven, and is preferentially made of nonwoven PVA fibres.
- PVA fibres that are soluble in water at a temperature of less than or equal to 35°C, for instance the fibres sold by the Japanese company Kuraray under the name Kuralon K-II, and particularly the grade WN2 which is soluble at and above 20°C.
- fibres are described in EP-A- 636716 which teaches the manufacture of PVA fibres that are soluble in water at temperatures not exceeding 100°C, by spinning and drawing of the wet or dry polyvinyl alcohol polymer in the presence of solvents participating in the dissolution and solidification of the fibre.
- the fibre thus obtained may lead to the production of woven or nonwoven substrates.
- These fibres may also be prepared from a solution to be spun, by dissolving a water-soluble PVA-based polymer in a first organic solvent, spinning of the solution in a second organic solvent to obtain solidified filaments and wet drawing of the filaments, from which the first solvent is removed, followed by drying and subjecting to a heat treatment.
- the cross section of these fibres may be substantially circular.
- fibres have a tensile strength of at least 2.7 g/dtex (3 g/d).
- Patent application EP- A-0 636 716 describes such water-soluble PVA-based fibres and the process for manufacturing them.
- the fibres may also be formed by extrusion and deposited on a conveyor to form a lap of fibres which is then consolidated via a conventional fibre bonding technique, for instance needle punching, hot bonding, calendering or air-through bonding, in which technique the water-soluble lap passes through a tunnel into which hot air is blown, or spunlacing directed towards bonding the fibres under the action of fine jets of water at very high pressure, which cannot be applied to fibres whose dissolution temperature is too low.
- a conventional fibre bonding technique for instance needle punching, hot bonding, calendering or air-through bonding
- the invention is not limited to the use of PVA, and use may also be made of fibres made from other water-soluble materials provided that these materials dissolve in water having the desired temperature, for example the polysaccharide fibres sold under the name Lysorb by the company Lysac Technologies Inc. or other fibres based on polysaccharide polymers such as glucomannans or starch.
- the envelope may comprise a mixture of different fibres that are soluble in water at different temperatures (up to 35°C).
- the fibres may be composite, and they may include, for example, a core and a sheath which are not of the same nature, for example formed from different grades of PVA.
- the envelope is a nonwoven fabric, including water-soluble fibres, alone or as a mixture with insoluble fibres as indicated above, with not more than 40% by weight of insoluble fibres relative to the total weight of the fibres constituting the lap.
- the nonwoven fabric consists essentially of water-soluble fibres, i.e. it does not contain any insoluble fibres.
- the envelope of the packaging article may consist of one or more films, which each comprise one or more water-soluble and/or liposoluble compounds, notably as defined above. When the envelope consists of several films, said films may be assembled, for example bonded together, so as to form a single unified film.

- the thickness of the single film when the envelope contains only one or of the unified film when the envelope contains several films is advantageously between 10 and 1000 microns, preferably between 10 and 800 microns and more preferentially between 15-500 microns.
- film notably means a continuous layer preferentially formed from one or more water-soluble and/or liposoluble compounds as defined above, in particular of polymer(s).
- the main industrial methods for the production of polymer films are extrusion of a molten polymer, casting of a solution of a polymer onto a polished metal surface (in certain cases, the polymer solution is introduced into a precipitation tank), casting of a dispersion of the polymer onto a polished surface, and calendering.
- the films that may be used according to the present invention may be chosen from film-multilayer film, film-paper (laminating) and film-coating.
- film-paper laminating
- film-coating During application by spraying, brushing or various industrial processes, the surface coatings undergo what is known as the formation of a film, and notably of film- coating.
- a liquid coating of relatively low viscosity is applied to a solid substrate and is hardened as a solid adherent film based on high molecular weight polymer having the properties desired by the user.
- the films that may be used according to the present invention are notably PVA films which may be manufactured via any industrial production method, such as a method of casting a PVA-based polymer solution, a method of extrusion in the presence or absence of water, a dry-extrusion moulding method or a biaxial orientation method.
- the packaging article, and the envelope may have any shape that is suitable for the intended use, for example a rectangular, round or oval shape. Preferably, it has a rounded geometry, for example in the form of a sphere, a disc or an oval, or else a square or parallelepipedal geometry preferably with rounded corners.
- the envelope preferably has dimensions allowing it to be taken up between at least two fingers.
- the envelope may be of round shape with an inside diameter ranging from 3 to 7 cm, more preferentially from 4 to 5 cm; to which may be added the dimension of the edges (sealed part) which may range from 1 to 5 mm, better still from 2 to 4 mm; and a height ranging from 2 to 7 mm, preferentially from 3 to 5 mm.
- the envelope may also be of square or rectangular shape with a length preferably ranging from 2 to 6 cm, more preferentially from 3 to 5 cm, and a width preferably ranging from 2 to 5 cm, more preferentially 2.5 to 4 cm; to which may be added the dimension of the edges (sealed part) which may preferably range from 1 to 5 mm, and more preferentially from 2 to 4 mm.
- the envelope has a low thickness, and may consist of several layers of different materials. Preferably, the thickness of the envelope ranges from 3% to 99.9% of its other dimensions.
- the envelope is thus substantially flat, with thin edge profiles.
- the area delimiting the cavity or cavities has an extent advantageously less than 625 cm 2 , preferably between 0.025 cm 2 and 400 cm 2 , more preferentially between 1 and 200 cm 2 , better still between 2 and 50 cm 2 and even better still between 4 and 25 cm 2 , so as to have optimized compacting of the composition. It has been observed that when the area of the article is within the above ranges, the compacting of the solid composition made of powder is lower and the transformation of the powder into a fluid composition in the hands is easier, without any formation of agglomerates.
- the height of the envelope is greater than or equal to 2 mm, more preferentially ranging from 2 to 10 mm and better still from 3 to 7 mm.
- the film(s) used in the context of the present invention are chosen from synthetic films such as PVA films, and also mixtures thereof.

- at least one of these films is a film comprising or consisting of PVA.
- the film(s) are sealed so as to form one or more cavities which will comprise the solid composition of the invention and will prevent it from escaping.
- the envelope represents from 0.5% to 20% by weight, preferably from 1% to 15% by weight, more preferentially from 2% to 10% by weight, better still from 4% to 10% by weight, and even better still from 4% to 8% by weight relative to the total weight of the packaging article.
- the solid composition as defined below represents from 80% to 99.5% by weight, preferably from 85% to 99% by weight, more preferentially from 90% to 98% by weight, better still from 90% to 96% by weight, and even better still from 92% to 96% by weight relative to the total weight of the packaging article.
- the weight ratio between the total weight of the solid composition of the invention and the total weight of the envelope advantageously ranges from 80/20 to 99/1, preferably from 85/15 to 98/2 and more preferentially from 90/10 to 97/3.
- the packaging article comprises from 1 to 8 g and preferably from 2 to 6 g of solid composition; and from 0.1 to 1 g and preferably from 0.2 to 0.7 g of envelope.
- the present invention also relates to a cosmetic process for treating keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair, comprising a step of using a packaging article as defined above; preferably, said cosmetic treatment process comprises the following steps: i) mixing the packaging article in a composition that is capable of dissolving, totally or partially, the envelope of said packaging article, ii) applying the composition obtained in step i) to the keratin fibres, iii) optionally leaving to rest, iv) rinsing said keratin fibres, and v) optionally drying said keratin fibres.
- the composition that is suitable for dissolving the envelope depends on the nature of the envelope.
- the composition that is suitable for dissolving the envelope is water or an aqueous composition when the packaging article predominantly or solely contains a hydrophilic envelope.
- the composition that is suitable for dissolving the envelope is an anhydrous organic composition or an aqueous composition comprising at least one liquid fatty substance or at least one organic solvent other than liquid fatty substances such as lower monoalcohols, for example ethanol, or such as polyols, for example propylene glycol or glycerol, when the packaging article predominantly or solely contains a lipophilic envelope.
- the aqueous composition may simply be water.
- the aqueous composition may optionally comprise at least one polar solvent.
- organic compounds that are liquid at room temperature (25°C) and at least partially water- miscible.
- examples that may be mentioned more particularly include alcohols such as ethyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol, aromatic alcohols such as benzyl alcohol and phenylethyl alcohol, or polyols or polyol ethers, for instance ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, monoethyl ether and monobutyl ether, propylene glycol or ethers thereof, for instance propylene glycol monomethyl ether, butylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, and also diethylene glycol alkyl ethers, for instance diethylene glycol monoethyl ether or monobutyl ether.
- alcohols such as ethyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol
- aromatic alcohols such as benzyl alcohol and phenylethyl alcohol
- polyols or polyol ethers for instance ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, monoethyl ether and monobut
- the aqueous composition ranges from 0.5% to 20% by weight and preferably from 2% to 10% by weight relative to the weight of said aqueous composition.
- the dilution ratio (expressed by weight) between one or more packaging articles, as defined previously, and the composition that is suitable for dissolving the packaging article(s) is preferably between 10/90 and 90/10 and more preferentially between 10/90 and 50/50. Better still, this dilution ratio is 20/80.

- Example 1 A composition according to the invention was prepared from the ingredients indicated in Table 1 below: [Table 1] The powder ingredients (maize starch, starch phosphate, citric acid, guar) were mixed with stirring in a vessel. The liquid ingredients (except for the fragrance) are heated to 40°C. These ingredients are added as binder to the vessel by spraying and mixed. At the end, the fragrance is added by spraying and mixing is carried out. The combined mixture is subsequently dried in an oven at 45°C for 20 hours. After cooling to ambient temperature, the mixture is ground using a mill in order to obtain a powder. A fairly free powder formula (with a talus angle of 30°) and a density of 0.48 and a water activity of 0.628 (after drying) is obtained.
- Table 1 The powder ingredients (maize starch, starch phosphate, citric acid, guar) were mixed with stirring in a vessel. The liquid ingredients (except for the fragrance) are heated to 40°C. These ingredients are added as binder to the vessel by spraying and mixed.
- the talus angle represents the angle characteristic of a pile of powder obtained by mechanically pouring the powder from a funnel and constitutes an indication of the flowability of a powder.
- a plugging powder having a difficult flow has a talus angle of greater than 55°.
- the composition thus prepared was packaged in powder form in a water- soluble PVA-based sachet.
- the packaging article thus obtained can subsequently be employed as a care composition: it is placed in the hollow of the hand, water is added thereto, in order to dissolve it and to form a cream, then application to the hair, preferably moistened beforehand, is carried out.
- compositions A (according to the invention) and B (comparative) were prepared from the ingredients indicated in Table 2 below: [Table 2]
- the powder ingredients (maize starch, starch phosphate, citric acid, guar) were mixed with stirring in a vessel.
- the liquid ingredients (except for the fragrance) are heated to 40°C. These ingredients are added as binder to the vessel by spraying and mixed.
- the fragrance is added by spraying and mixing is carried out.
- the combined mixture is subsequently dried in an oven at 45°C for 20 hours. After cooling to ambient temperature, the mixture is ground using a mill in order to obtain a powder.
- compositions A and B were applied directly to locks of moderately sensitized hair (AS20 locks) weighing 2.7 g and moistened. The amount deposited was 0.35 g per lock. The lock was kneaded gently between the fingers over its entire length. After a leave-in time of 2 minutes, the locks are rinsed.
- a panel of people evaluated the breaking up and the cosmetic properties conferred by the compositions A and B.
- the composition A according to the invention broke up better than the comparative composition B. No lumps were observed on the hair with the composition A.
- the cosmetic properties in terms of disentangling, of smoothness and of suppleness were evaluated sensorially, under blind conditions, on wet hair.
- the expert evaluates the ease of passage of a fine comb through the hair, on sliding it from the root to the end.
- the evaluation of the smoothness characteristic is tactile.
- the expert grasps the lock between the thumb and the index finger and slides his/her fingers along the lock from the upper part as far as the ends; he/she evaluates whether the hairs exhibit bumps, whether they are not caught by the fingers.
- Each of the 6 experts identified the lock which was easiest to disentangle, had the smoothest feel and was most supple.
- the expert evaluates the ease of passage of a fine comb through the hair, on sliding it from the root to the end.
- the evaluation of the smoothness characteristic is tactile.
- the expert grasps the lock between the thumb and the index finger and slides his/her fingers along the lock from the upper part as far as the ends; he/she evaluates whether the hairs exhibit bumps, whether they are not caught by the fingers.
- the evaluation of the suppleness is tactile.
- the expert takes handfuls of hair and tries to fold it. The more easily the hair can be folded and bent, the more malleable it is, the better the suppleness.
- the locks treated with the composition A according to the invention exhibit an easier disentangling, a smoother feel and an improved suppleness relative to the locks treated with the comparative composition B.
