Abstract

The invention relates to novel multicolour, multitexture and multimaterial cosmetic products as well as to a method for hot casting cosmetic compositions containing fats, in particular an oil.
Said method advantageously renders a mold superfluous and allows the creation of products that include a plurality of compositions such as to produce highly original appearances. Said method also allows the production of products with a very irregular raised designs.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A casting process for the manufacture of a cosmetic product comprising:
a) heating a solid composition containing an oil and having a fluidification point ranging from 30 to 150° C. and a mean hardness, as measured at 25° C. using a texture analyzer provided with a hemispherical probe, ranging from 0.5 to 80 N, to a temperature greater than said fluidification point so as to obtain a fluid composition;
b) introducing the fluid composition into a casting nozzle having an orifice with a diameter ranging from 0.01 to 5 mm;
c1) casting the fluid composition through the orifice at a casting temperature and at a casting flow rate ranging from 0.05 to 2 mm 3 /s, obtaining an ejected volume of fluid composition, dropping said ejected volume to a support thereby cooling said ejected volume to 25° C. and forming a solid deposit of the composition on said support, the solid deposit essentially retaining the form of the ejected volume at the orifice;
c2) changing the nozzle position with respect to the support and moving the nozzle in at least one of the three space directions;
d) halting the casting of the fluid composition, then optionally
e) changing the nozzle position with respect to the support, and
f) repeating a) to e) above at least one time with said composition or with another composition, wherein the other composition contains an oil, has a fluidification point ranging from 30 to 150° C., and has a mean hardness, measured at 25° C. using a texture analyzer provided with a hemispherical probe, ranging from 0.5 to 80 N, and
wherein the support does not act as a container for the volume of the fluid composition, and
the solid deposit has essentially the form of a sphere having a diameter ranging from 0.01 to 1 mm.

2. The casting process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the casting temperature is less than or equal to the fluidification temperature.

3. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the form of the ejected volume is identical to the form of the solid deposit, in the absence of any external mechanical or thermal stress applied to the solid deposit.

4. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the mean diameter of the solid deposits is equal to the diameter of the nozzle orifice.

5. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the dynamic viscosity of the fluid composition at the casting temperature and atmospheric pressure ranges from 1 to 10000 mPa·s.

6. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fluidification temperature is in a range from 1 to 15° C. higher than the fluidification point of the composition.

7. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the solid composition has a dropping point of greater than 50° C.

8. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the support is a cosmetic support.

9. The process as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a step g) of casting a thermoplastic substance, wherein step g) is carried out prior to, subsequent to or at the same time as step c1).

10. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the dynamic viscosity of the fluid composition at the casting temperature and atmospheric pressure ranges from 100 to 500 mPa·s.

11. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the solid composition has a dropping point ranging from 70° C. to 85° C.

12. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the solid deposits are not deformed by mechanical or thermal stress subsequent to their formation on the support.

13. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the solid deposits are in contact together and are arranged nonrandomly.

14. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the solid composition comprises from 55 to 65% by weight of the solid composition of one or more oils, from 5 to 11% by weight of the solid composition of one or more waxes, from 10 to 30% by weight of the solid composition of one or more pasty fatty substances, and a mixture of one or more pigments and one or more fillers.

15. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the cosmetic product is a multihue, multitexture or multisubstance product.

16. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the cosmetic product is chosen from the group consisting of a makeup product, a care product, a sun protection product and a scenting product.

17. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the cosmetic product is a product for making up lips.
