Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A changing color composition for caring for and/or making up keratin materials on the form of an O/W emulsion comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium, at least a) microcapsules containing releasable colorant(s), said microcapsules comprising: —a core comprising one organic material, —at least one layered coating surrounding said core, the layered coating comprising at least one polymer, at least one colorant, and advantageously at least one lipid-based material, b) at least 5% by weight, more preferably at least 8% by weight and advantageously at least 10% by weight relative to the weight of the composition of an aqueous phase comprising water and at least one compound chosen from polyols, glycols C 2 -C 8 monoalcohols and mixtures thereof, c) non entrapped Ti0 2 , and d) an O/W emulsifier.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A changing colour composition, comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium: a) microcapsules comprising a releasable colorant, said microcapsules comprising: a core comprising one organic material, and a layered coating surrounding said core, the layered coating comprising a polymer, and a colorant; b) at least 5% by weight, relative to the weight of the composition, of an aqueous phase comprising water and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of polyols, glycols, C 2 -C 8 monoalcohols and mixtures thereof; c) non entrapped TiO 2 ; and d) an oil in water (O/W) emulsifier, wherein (1) the core comprises at least one monosaccharide-polyol, (2) the core does not contain colorant material, and (3) the microcapsules comprise at least two layers of different colors, and wherein the changing colour composition is in the form of an oil in water (O/W) emulsion. 2. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein said microcapsules comprise an organic inner layer and one organic outer layer, and wherein said microcapsules are uncoloured, that is the outer layer being white or transparent, and when the outer layer is transparent, the visible inner layer is white. 3. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein said microcapsules comprise: an inner core made of monosaccharide-polyol; at least two layers of different colour; and a hydrophilic polymer. 4. The composition according to claim 1 , comprising from 0.1% to 20% by weight of microcapsules relative to the total weight of the said composition. 5. The composition according to claim 1 , further comprising from 0.1 to 70% by weight relative to the weight of the composition, of at least one additional cosmetic ingredient selected from the group consisting of volatile silicon, non-volatile silicon, hydrocarbon oils, surfactants, fillers, gelifying agents, thickening agents, film forming agents, polymers, preservatives, silicone elastomer, self-tanning agents, additional non-entrapped colorants, cosmetic actives, pH regulators, perfumes, UV filters and mixtures thereof. 6. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the O/W emulsifier is chosen from esters of polyols and of fatty acids with a saturated or unsaturated chain containing from 8 to 24 carbon atoms, and the oxyalkylenated derivatives thereof. 7. The composition according to claim 1 , further comprising a co-emulsifier chosen from cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol. 8. The composition according to claim 1 , further comprising a solubilizer chosen from Polysorbate 20 and PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil. 9. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition is suitable for caring for keratin materials comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium, 0.1% to 20% by weight of microcapsules relative to the total weight of the composition. 10. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the microcapsules have a size ranging from 50 μm to 800 μm, and comprise: a. a core (A); b. one first layer (B) surrounding said core comprising: i. at least one colorant, and ii. at least one binder selected from the group consisting of a polymer a lipid-based material, and a mixture thereof; c. one second layer (C) surrounding said first layer (B), comprising: i. titanium dioxide particles, and ii. at least one binder selected from the group consisting of a polymer, a lipid-based material, and a mixture thereof. 11. The composition according to claim 1 , comprising from 12% to 50% by weight a polyol and/or a glycol based on weight of the aqueous phase. 12. The composition according to claim 1 , comprising water in an amount of at least 30% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition. 13. The cosmetic composition according to claim 1 , wherein a layer of the microcapsules is obtained by fluid bed process. 14. A cosmetic process for caring for and/or making up keratinic materials, the process comprising applying the composition according to claim 1 on said keratinic materials. 15. The composition according to claim 6 , wherein the O/W emulsifier is chosen from the oxyalkylenated derivatives which comprise oxyethylenated and/or oxypropylenated units. 16. The composition according to claim 6 , wherein the O/W emulsifier is chosen from glyceryl esters of C8-C24 fatty acids, and the oxyalkylenated derivatives thereof; the polyethylene glycol esters of C8-C24 fatty acids, and the oxyalkylenated derivatives thereof; the sorbitol esters of C8-C24 fatty acids, and the oxyalkylenated derivatives thereof; the sugar (sucrose, glucose or alkylglucose) esters of C8-C24 fatty acids, and the oxyalkylenated derivatives thereof; fatty alcohol ethers; the sugar ethers of C8-C24 fatty alcohols, and mixtures thereof.
