Description
SPECIFICATION
Cosmetic composition
This invention relates to cosmetics, and more particularly to an oil phase composition for use in a cosmetic kit which can be used to prepare a wide assortment of cosmetic products.
Young children delight in observing the actions of adults and attempting to duplicate them. By doing so they learn a great deal about their environment and accepted patterns of behavior.
One of the areas which typically fascinates young girls in particular is cosmetics and the application of cosmetics to the skin. While a parent may be perfectly willing to allow the child to satisfy her curiosity, the disadvantages of commercially available cosmetics typically are a stumbling block. These disadvantages include the expense of buying separate cosmetics for the child to use, the possibility that the cosmetics may contain ingredients which will stain clothing or other objects the cosmetics come in contact with, and the possibility that the cosmetic may contain ingredients which are not safe if ingested.
Accordingly a need exists for a cosmetic kit which allows a young child to prepare a variety of cosmetics inexpensively, which are readily washable, and are safe and simple enough for young children to use.
The present invention is an oil phase composition for use in a cosmetic kit. The oil phase composition is easily emulsifiable with water and can be mixed with other cosmetic additives to provide a wide assortment of cosmetics which are safe to use, washable and do not stain the skin or mucous membranes. The oil phase composition comprises a polyhydroxy compound; a fatty acid; a fatty alcohol; a cosmetic ester; a preservative; and a combination of surfactants having different HLB (hydrophilelipophile balance) values such that the surfactants, when added to the other ingredients in an appropriate ratio, provide a stable, low melting, easily emulsified oil phase.
The oil phase composition of the present invention is a careful balance of ingredients intended to promote easy, stable emulsion formation, fulfill many cosmetic functions depending on the amount and type of additives, enhance washability of any pigments which may be incorporated, and be safe and simple enough for young children to use.
The first ingredient of the oil phase composition is a water soluble polyhydroxy compound such as propylene glycol, glycerin, or a water soluble polypropylene glycol typically at a concentration between about 20% and about 30% by weight.
The second ingredient is a fatty acid typically having from about 14 to about 1 8 carbon atoms, typically at a concentration between about 10% and about 15% by weight, a preferred fatty acid being triple pressed stearic acid. Another ingredient of the oil phase composition is a fatty alcohol typically having from about 14 to about 18 carbon atoms, typically at a concentration between about 10% and about 15% by weight, a preferred fatty alcohol being cetyl alcohol. Another ingredient of the oil phase composition is a cosmetic ester such as isopropyl palmitate, or isopropyl stearate, typically at a concentration between about 10% and about 15% by weight, a preferred ester being isopropyl myristate.
The oil phase composition also contains a hydrophilic surfactant having an HLB between about 14.5 and about 1 7 and a lipophilic surfactant having an HLB between about 4.5 and about 7, the total surfactant concentration typically being between about 10% and about 30% by weight, and the HLB of the surfactants when combined being between about 10.0 and about 1 1.5, preferably about 10.9. A preferred pair of surfactants is polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monopalmitate and sorbitan monopalmitate.
The final ingredient of the oil phase is a cosmetically acceptable preservative which does not materially interact with the other ingredients in the oil phase composition to significantly reduce its antimicrobial activity and also is substantially nontoxic even if taken internally by a child.
Preferred preservatives are methyl p-hydroxy benzoate, propyl p-hydroxy benzoate, and imidazolidinyl urea. The preservative is added at a relatively high concentration so that the formulation may later be admixed with a substantial amount of water and still inhibit multiplication of microorganisms. The preservative is typically employed in concentrations from about 0.1% to about 4.0% by weight depending upon the solubility of the particular bactericide.
While not wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the above components of the oil phase composition function in the following manner. The polyhydroxy compound and the surfactants are employed at a fairly high concentration to promote subsequent low energy emulsification with water. Also, the fatty acid and fatty alcohol combine to prevent each other's crystallization thereby reducing the energy input required for melting. The cosmetic ester further lowers the melting point of the fatty acid and fatty alcohol. The combination of these ingredients is balanced to provide a stable, low-melting (i.e. up to 1 OS0 F) easily-emulsified oil phase.
To enhance the versatility of a kit of the present invention, it is preferred that such a kit contain more than one container of the oil phase composition, one container being of the composition above, the others incorporating varying degrees of pigment up to a maximum of about 7% by weight. By mixing together varying amounts of the oil phase compositions from each of the containers, it is possible to vary the color of the oil phase composition and thereby the color or shade of cosmetic produced after emulsification with water. Suitable pigments for use in oil-andwater and water-and-oil emulsions are well known to those skilled in the art, a common brownish-red color containing 4 percent red iron oxide and 3 percent titanium dioxide by weight being an example of the type of pigments which may be used.
Depending on the concentration and specific gravity of pigments added to the oil phase, it may be desirable to incorporate a suspending agent.
Preferred such ingredients are stearalkonium hectorite, and fumed silica by hydrated silica or other organophilic gellants may also be used.
Such cosmetically acceptable thickening and suspending agents are well known to those skilled in the art, and may be incorporated up to about 3 percent by weight. When stearalkonium hectorite is used it must be dispersed with propylene carbonate or other polar organics.
While oil phase compositions of the present invention are designed to melt at low temperatures (i.e. up to 1 OS0 F), they are able to suspend the heaviest of pigments at temperatures up to 1 350F. Furthermore, emulsions made with oil phase compositions of the present invention do not break down at temperatures between O"F and 13O0F.
The following procedure is an exemplary method for compounding the oil phase. The fatty acid, fatty alcohol, and preservatives are melted together in a vessel equipped for high speed mixing. The cosmetic ester (or, where required, the stearalkonium hectorite predispersed in the ester and propylene carbonate) is stirred into the melt.
The surfactants and then the polyhydroxy compound are poured or sifted into the vortex of the stirring liquid. Agitation is continued until the mixture's temperature drops to 1300 F.
When a pigment is to be added, a preferred method is to disperse the colorant in some of the glycol and surfactant, the resulting paste is mixed into the melt.
If suspending agents other than stearalkonium hectorite are used, different mixing procedures may be required. Fumed silica, for example, should be predispersed in the polyhydroxy compounds and surfactants before being added to the melt.
Cosmetics are prepared by the user simply by stirring the appropriate amount of water into the oil. For example, basic creams and lotions are made by mixing approximately equal quantities of (tepid) water and oil. Mixing can be done with a spatula in about one minute. Then, up to 4 more parts of water may be added to produce a lighter creme or a lotion. The appearance and/or function of the cosmetic may be modified further by adding FDBC dyes and/or perfume and incorporating other ingredients such as borax or sorbitol. Facial cosmetics are made with a pigmented oil phase.
The user emulsifies the pigmented oil and water to produce cosmetics such as a lip gloss, eye shadow, or creme rouge. By mixing the different colored oils in varying proportions, intermediate shades may be produced.
The cosmetic kit according to the present invention can contain a number of other items as desired. For instance a typical kit might contain one container of the oil phase composition without any pigmentation, two or more containers of oil phase composition each having a different concentration of pigment therein, an instruction booklet explaining how to prepare sample cosmetics, a container for mixing the various ingredients, means for stirring the ingredients in the container, and if desired other containers of food colorings sorbitol, borax, glycerine, and fragrance. All these items may be contained in a box having individual compartments for each of the items mentioned above. Furthermore, if desired, a mirror may be attached to the interior of the lid of the box to allow the user to apply the cosmetic after preparation.
The following specific examples are intended to illustrate.more fully the nature of the invention without acting as a limitation upon its scope.
EXAMPLE 1
An oil phase composition for use in the present invention was prepared as follows. 13.7 pounds of triple pressed stearic acid, 1 3.7 pounds of cetyl alcohol, 2.9 pounds of methy p-hydroxy benzoate and 0.3 pounds of propyl p-hydroxy benzoate are melted together in a vessel equipped for high speed mixing. 1.5 pounds of stearalkonium hectorite (which has been predispersed in
13.3 pounds of isopropyl myristate and 0.5 pounds of propylene carbonate) is uniformly blended into the melt. Next, 18.3 pounds of polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monopalmitate,
10.8 pounds of sorbitan monopalmitate, and 25 pounds of propylene glycol are poured into the vortex of the stirring liquid. Agitation is continued until the temperature drops to 1300 F. The oil phase composition is then put into containers which are placed into the kit.
EXAMPLE 2
An oil phase composition is produced according to the procedures set forth in Example 1 above except that 4 pounds of red iron oxide and 3 pounds of titanium dioxide are added to the surfactants and propylene glycol.
EXAMPLE 3
Atypical cieansing cream is produced by stirring together 10 grams of the oil phase composition of Example 1 and 10 grams of lukewarm water for about 1 minute. Then 10 grams of a 4% by weight solution of borax in water is blended into the emulsion. Finally, 0.1 grams of a water miscible fragrance is added.
The cleansing cream produced thereby is then used in a normal manner.
EXAMPLE 4
A cream rouge is produced as above by stirring together 10 grams of the oil phase composition of
Example 2 with 1 5 grams of water for about 1 minute until a smooth cream is produced.
Fragrance may be added, if desired.
Other embodiments of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from a consideration of the specification or practice of the invention disclosed herein. It is intended that the specification and the examples be considered as exemplary only, with the true scope and spirit of the invention being indicated by the following
