Abstract
A cosmetic composition for the treatment of the hair and skin comprising, in an aqueous medium, particles of pulverized flowers or flower tops having a granulometry lower than 125 microns and a cohesion agent present in an amount effective to maintain the homogeneity of the composition. The cohesion agent can be a thickening agent, a water-in-oil emulsion or an oil-in-water emulsion.
Description
This is a division of application Ser. No. 832,338 filed Feb. 24, 1986, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,746,510, which is a divisional of filed application Ser. No. 603,737 filed Apr. 25, 1984, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,581,230, which is a divisional of Ser. No. 352,105 filed Feb. 25, 1982, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,459,285.
The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition for the treatment of the hair and skin, this composition containing, in the presence of a cohesion agent, a powder resulting from the pulverization of at least one flower or of flower top.
For years both the pharmaceutical industry and the cosmetic industry have used in numerous formulations active substances resulting from the extraction of vegetables by different processes such as maceration, digestion, decoction, infusion or lixiviation.
In certain cases, and principally in cosmetics, the vegetables are employed in the form of entire plants applied to the skin, or in coarsely pulverized forms so as to provide cataplasms when diluted with water.
Representative cataplasms include, in particular, those obtained from emollient flour or from henna powder and were used for the coloration of the hair or the skin.
These cataplasms exhibit numerous disadvantages caused essentially by coarse grinding of the plants which most often resulted in lumpy cataplasms which were difficult to apply to the skin and hair and which were not easily removed, especially from the hair.
Moreover these known products were difficult to preserve which prevented them from being made in a ready-to-use form.
It has now been found that it is possible to significantly reduce or eliminate the disadvantages mentioned above by using finely pulverized flowers or flower tops having a determined granulometry in the presence of a cohesion agent.
The present invention thus relates to a cosmetic composition for the treatment of the hair and skin containing, in an aqueous medium, particles resulting from the pulverization of at least one flower or flower top, having a granulometry less than 125 microns and, preferably, less than 80 microns, in the presence of a cohesion agent which maintains homogeneity of the composition the said agent being a thickening substance and/or a water-in-oil or oil-in-water type emulsion.
The particularly fine granulometry is obtained by known pulverization processes, such as by crushing or micronization, optionally followed by a sieving operation, this degree of granulometry being critical to the production of compositions exhibiting all the requisite characteristics.
The crushing can be carried out dry on the flowers or flower tops, previously dried, or can be effected directly on fresh flowers in an appropriate medium.
By the expression "cohesion agent" is meant an agent capable:
of avoiding decantation of the finely pulverized particles of the flowers or flower tops, in solution,
of facilitating the spreading of the composition on the skin or the hair,
of avoiding the drying out of the composition when it is exposed to free air, and
of facilitating the removal of the composition from the hair or skin.
The particles of flowers or flower tops used in the composition according to the invention can come from many varities of plants, shrubs or trees and principally from the following:

There can also, if desired, be added to the "oil" phase, silicone oils soluble in other oils such as dimethylpolysiloxane and methylphenylpolysiloxane.
Further, in order to assist in the retention of the oils, waxes such as Cornauba wax, Candellila wax, beeswax, microcrystalline wax and ozokerite can be used.
The emulsifying agent in the water-in-oil emulsions or oil-in-water emulsions can be of the anionic, cationic or non-ionic type.
Representative anionic emulsifying agents include: alkali or alkaline earth soaps, such as for example, sodium stearate or calcium oleate, soaps of organic bases, salts of sulfate or sulfone derivatives, oxyethylenated or not, such as sodium lauryl sulfate.
Representative cationic emulsifiers include: quaternary ammonium salts such as, for example, benzalkonium chloride and cetyl pyridinium chloride.
Representative non-ionic emulsifying agents include in particular: aliphatic fatty alcohols, such as cetyl alcohol or stearyl alcohol or a mixture of the two, fatty alcohols or α-diols, oxyethylenated or polyglycerolated, such as oleic alcohol polyoxyethylenated with 10 moles of ethylene oxide, 2-octadecanediol polyglycerolated with 2 or 7 moles of glycidol, cyclic fatty alcohols, glycol esters of fatty acids, such as ethylene glycol stearate, mono- or di-stearates of glycerol, polyethyleneglycol esters of fatty acids, such as polyethylene glycol stearate, fatty esters of fatty acids of sorbitan, oxyethylenated or not, and sold under the tradename "Tweens" or "Spans" by Atlas, sucrose esters of fatty acids, esters of fatty acids with glucose derivatives, such as methylglucoside sesquistearate and methylglucoside sesquistearate polyoxyethylenated with 20 moles of ethylene oxide.
Generally, the water phase of the emulsions represent 20 to 95%, the oil phase 3 to 80% and the emulsifying agent 1 to 20%, relative to the total weight of the emulsion.
The compositions according to the present invention can also contain various cosmetic adjuvants such as pH modifiers, perfumes, preservative agents, solvents, antioxidant agents, sequesterants or sun screens.
