Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cosmetic assembly comprising a first aqueous composition comprising an acid active agent or a peroxide, and a foaming second aqueous composition.
  • the acid active agents or the peroxides such as H 2 0 2 used for their antibacterial properties on the skin or their hair lightening properties, are difficult to formulate in foaming compositions because maintaining an acid pH necessary for the stability of the active agent involves the use of surfactant bases that are stable at this pH, which limits the choice of possible (amphoteric, nonionic, sulphonate) surfactants.
  • these active agents may need to be activated by a basic compound that is incompatible in the acid formulation.
  • two-part foaming products have been proposed, one part of which comprises a composition based on an acid active agent and the other part of which comprises a foaming composition
  • WO 2008/045174 proposes a two-part product comprising a composition A containing a foaming amphoteric surfactant and a composition B containing hydrogen peroxide, said compositions being mixed before application to the skin.
  • the mixture obtained is liquid, not very thick and not very foaming.
  • the formulation of a two-part product involves the constraint that the two compositions each have a high viscosity, in gel form, in order to be readily handleable and mixable so that the final composition resulting from the mixture is homogeneous and cosmetically acceptable.
  • hydrophilic gelling agents that are widely used, such as polymers based on 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulphonic acid or acrylate polymers, are sensitive to salts and bringing them into contact with a foaming composition rich in salts introduced by the foaming surfactants leads to a drop in the viscosity and therefore a significant fluidification of the mixture: the desired consistency is not therefore maintained. It is therefore sought to formulate a two-part foaming product based on acid active agents or on peroxide, which has good foaming properties, the viscosity of which is maintained.
  • a cosmetic assembly combining a gelled composition based on acid active agents or on peroxide and a foaming composition comprising particular surfactants in a defined ratio makes it possible to satisfy the requirements specified above.

  • the mixing of the compositions is carried out within said assembly just before use and therefore before application to at least one keratin material.
  • the mixing is carried out during the application to the keratin materials.
  • the mixture is applied to the keratin materials in the presence of water, followed by a massaging step to make it foam, then the foam formed and the soiling residues are removed by rinsing with water.
  • the mixture is used as a mask, i.e. it is applied to the keratin materials, and then is rinsed with water after a leave-on time of 1 to 10 minutes.
  • Another subject of the present invention is an assembly for packaging and dispensing compositions forming a product according to the invention, said assembly comprising at least two independent compartments comprising, respectively, each of said compositions and being adjusted for dispensing two compositions separately or as a mixture.

Description

Two-part cosmetic product
The invention relates to a cosmetic assembly comprising a first aqueous composition comprising an acid active agent or a peroxide, and a foaming second aqueous composition.
It also relates to the use of this cosmetic assembly in the cosmetic or dermatological field or to a cosmetic method comprising the application of this assembly to the skin.
The acid active agents or the peroxides such as H202, used for their antibacterial properties on the skin or their hair lightening properties, are difficult to formulate in foaming compositions because maintaining an acid pH necessary for the stability of the active agent involves the use of surfactant bases that are stable at this pH, which limits the choice of possible (amphoteric, nonionic, sulphonate) surfactants.
Moreover, in order to exhibit an optimum activity, these active agents may need to be activated by a basic compound that is incompatible in the acid formulation.
For this, two-part foaming products have been proposed, one part of which comprises a composition based on an acid active agent and the other part of which comprises a foaming composition, for example document WO 2008/045174 proposes a two-part product comprising a composition A containing a foaming amphoteric surfactant and a composition B containing hydrogen peroxide, said compositions being mixed before application to the skin. However, the mixture obtained is liquid, not very thick and not very foaming. Thus, the formulation of a two-part product involves the constraint that the two compositions each have a high viscosity, in gel form, in order to be readily handleable and mixable so that the final composition resulting from the mixture is homogeneous and cosmetically acceptable. However the hydrophilic gelling agents that are widely used, such as polymers based on 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulphonic acid or acrylate polymers, are sensitive to salts and bringing them into contact with a foaming composition rich in salts introduced by the foaming surfactants leads to a drop in the viscosity and therefore a significant fluidification of the mixture: the desired consistency is not therefore maintained. It is therefore sought to formulate a two-part foaming product based on acid active agents or on peroxide, which has good foaming properties, the viscosity of which is maintained. The applicant had been able to show that a cosmetic assembly combining a gelled composition based on acid active agents or on peroxide and a foaming composition comprising particular surfactants in a defined ratio makes it possible to satisfy the requirements specified above. One subject of the invention is thus a cosmetic assembly comprising:
a) a first aqueous composition comprising:
at least one active agent chosen from peroxides, -hydroxy acids, β-hydroxy acids and mixtures thereof, and
at least one polymer comprising at least one monomer containing a sulphonic group,
and
b) a second aqueous composition comprising:
- an anionic foaming surfactant and an amphoteric foaming surfactant in an amphoteric surfactant/anionic surfactant ratio ranging from 0.9 to 80/20,
- the total content of anionic and amphoteric surfactants being greater than or equal to 10% by weight relative to the total weight of the second composition, and
- a gelling polymer.
The use of the cosmetic assembly according to the invention makes it possible to obtain, after mixing of the first and second compositions, a stable gelled foaming composition that has a satisfactory viscosity.
The cosmetic assembly according to the invention may be used for the cosmetic treatment of keratin materials such as the skin and keratin fibres such as the hair.
It may be used especially for the treatment of oily skin, seborrhea and dermatitides which are associated with seborrhea, especially acne and/or blackheads and/or comedones.
The cosmetic assembly according to the invention may also be used for lightening keratin materials. Another subject of the invention is a method for the cosmetic treatment of keratin materials, comprising the application to the latter of the cosmetic assembly according to the invention, after mixing the compositions forming said assembly. Another subject of the invention is thus a method for the cosmetic treatment of keratin materials consisting in applying to the keratin materials at least one layer of a mixture:
- of a first aqueous composition comprising:
at least one active agent chosen from peroxides, -hydroxy acids, β- hydroxy acids, and
- at least one polymer comprising at least one monomer containing a sulphonic group,
and
- of a second aqueous composition comprising:
- an anionic foaming surfactant and an amphoteric foaming surfactant in an amphoteric surfactant/anionic surfactant ratio ranging from 0.9 to 80/20,
- the total content of anionic and amphoteric surfactants being greater than or equal to 10% by weight relative to the total weight of the second composition, and
- a gelling polymer.
According to one particular embodiment of the invention, the first and second compositions of the cosmetic assembly are mixed in a ratio, by weight, of between 100/50 and 80/100, preferably between 100/80 and 80/100. According to one embodiment variant, the mixing of the compositions is carried out within said assembly just before use and therefore before application to at least one keratin material.
According to another embodiment, the mixing is carried out during the application to the keratin materials.
According to one embodiment, the mixture is applied to the keratin materials in the presence of water, followed by a massaging step to make it foam, then the foam formed and the soiling residues are removed by rinsing with water.
According to one embodiment, the mixture is used as a mask, i.e. it is applied to the keratin materials, and then is rinsed with water after a leave-on time of 1 to 10 minutes. Another subject of the present invention is an assembly for packaging and dispensing compositions forming a product according to the invention, said assembly comprising at least two independent compartments comprising, respectively, each of said compositions and being adjusted for dispensing two compositions separately or as a mixture.
The first and second compositions each comprise a physiologically acceptable medium, i.e. a non-toxic medium that can be applied to human keratin materials and that has a pleasant appearance, odour and feel.
The compositions forming the cosmetic assembly according to the invention will now be described in detail.
Each first and second composition according to the invention preferably has a viscosity, at 20°C, greater than or equal to 2 Pa.s, preferably greater than or equal to 3 Pa.s. The viscosity is measured using a Rheomat 180 machine (from the company Lamy) equipped with an MS-R1 , MS-R2, MS-R3, MS-R4 or MS-R5 spindle, chosen as a function of the consistency of the composition, rotating at a shear rate of 200 s' Within the context of the invention, the expression "at least one" is equivalent to "one or more" and, unless otherwise indicated, the limits of a range of values are included in that range.

According to one preferred embodiment of the invention, the monomers containing a sulphonic group are chosen from (meth)acrylamido(Ci-C22)alkylsulphonic acids, for instance acrylamidomethanesulphonic acid, acrylamidoethanesulphonic acid, acrylamidopropanesulphonic acid, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulphonic acid, 2- methacrylamido-2-methylpropanesulphonic acid, 2-acrylamido-n-butanesulphonic acid, 2-acrylamido-2,4,4-trimethylpentanesulphonic acid, 2-methacrylamidododecylsulphonic acid and 2-acrylamido-2,6-dimethyl-3-heptanesulphonic acid, and also partially or completely neutralized forms thereof, and mixtures thereof.
More particularly, use is made of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulphonic acid (AMPS), and also partially or completely neutralized forms thereof.
When the polymers are crosslinked, the crosslinking agents may be chosen from the polyolefinically unsaturated compounds commonly used for crosslinking polymers obtained by radical polymerization.
Examples of crosslinking agents that may be mentioned include divinylbenzene, diallyl ether, dipropylene glycol diallyl ether, polyglycol diallyl ethers, triethylene glycol divinyl ether, hydroquinone diallyl ether, ethylene glycol or tetraethylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, trimethylolpropane triacrylate, methylenebisacrylamide, methylenebismethacrylamide, triallylamine, triallyl cyanurate, diallyl maleate, tetraallylethylenediamine, tetraallyloxyethane, trimethylolpropane diallyl ether, allyl (meth)acrylate, allylic ethers of alcohols of the sugar series, or other allylic or vinyl ethers of polyfunctional alcohols, and also the allylic esters of phosphoric and/or vinylphosphonic acid derivatives, or mixtures of these compounds.
According to one preferred embodiment of the invention, the crosslinking agent is chosen from methylenebisacrylamide, allyl methacrylate and trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA). The degree of crosslinking generally ranges from 0.01 mol% to 10 mol% and more particularly from 0.2 mol% to 2 mol% relative to the polymer.
When the polymers used are homopolymers, they only comprise monomers containing a sulphonic group and, if they are crosslinked, one or more crosslinking agents. The preferred AMPS homopolymers are generally characterized in that they comprise, randomly distributed:
a) from 90% to 99.9% by weight of units of general formula (III) below:

in which X+ denotes a proton, an alkali metal cation, an alkaline-earth metal cation or the ammonium ion, not more than 10 mol% of the cations X+ possibly being protons H+; b) from 0.01 % to 10% by weight of crosslinking units originating from at least one monomer containing at least two olefinic double bonds; the weight proportions being defined relative to the total weight of the polymer.
The homopolymers according to the invention that are more particularly preferred comprise from 98% to 99.5% by weight of units of formula (III) and from 0.2% to 2% by weight of crosslinking units.
A polymer of this type that may especially be mentioned is the crosslinked and neutralized 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulphonic acid homopolymer sold by the company Clariant under the trade name Hostacerin AMPS (CTFA name: ammonium polyacryldimethyltauramide).
The polymer may also be an amphiphilic homopolymer (or hydrophobic modified homopolymer) selected from random amphiphilic AMPS polymers modified by reaction with a C6-C22 n-monoalkylamine or di-n-alkylamine, such as those described in document WO A 00/31 154, which are graft homopolymers.
When the polymers used are copolymers they can be obtained from ethylenically unsaturated monomers containing a sulphonic group and other ethylenically unsaturated monomers, i.e. ethylenically unsaturated monomers without a sulphonic group.
The ethylenically unsaturated monomers containing a sulphonic group are chosen from those described above. The ethylenically unsaturated monomers without a sulphonic group may be chosen from ethylenically unsaturated hydrophilic monomers, ethylenically unsaturated hydrophobic monomers and mixtures thereof. When the polymer contains hydrophobic monomers it constitutes an amphiphilic polymer (also referred to as hydrophobic modified polymer).
The ethylenically unsaturated hydrophilic monomers may be selected for example from (meth)acrylic acids, β-substituted alkyl derivatives thereof or esters thereof obtained with monoalcohols or monoalkylene or polyalkylene glycols, (meth)acrylamides, vinylpyrrolidone, vinylformamide, maleic anhydride, itaconic acid, maleic acid or mixtures of these compounds.
When the polymer of the composition according to the invention is a copolymer that can be obtained from ethylenically unsaturated monomers containing a sulphonic group and ethylenically unsaturated hydrophilic monomers, it may be selected in particular from:
(1) crosslinked anionic copolymers of acrylamide or methacrylamide and of 2- acrylamido-2-methyl-propanesulphonic acid, especially those in the form of a W/O emulsion, such as those sold under the name Sepigel 305 by the company Seppic (CTFA name: Polyacrylamide/C13-14 lsoparaffin/Laureth-7), under the name Simulgel 600 by the company SEPPIC (CTFA name: Acrylamide/Sodium acryloyldimethyltaurate copolymer/lsohexadecane/Polysorbate 80);

(meth)acrylate.
The hydroxylated C2-C4 alkyl (meth)acrylate monomer may be chosen from 2- hydroxyethyl acrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl acrylate and 2,3-dihydroxypropyl methacrylate.
Said copolymer may be salified, in particular in the form of an alkali metal salt such as, for example, the sodium or potassium salt, or in the form of an ammonium salt, or in the form of a salt of an amino alcohol, such as, for example, the monoethanolamine salt, or in the form of an amino acid salt, such as, for example, the lysine salt. Advantageously, the copolymer is salified in sodium salt form.
Preferably, the composition comprises the copolymer of 2-acrylamido-2- methylpropanesulphonic acid and of 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, in particular in sodium salt form, for instance those sold under the trade names Sepinov® EMT 10 or Simulgel® NS (sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulphonate/hydroxyethyl acrylate copolymer as a 40% inverse emulsion in Polysorbate 60 and squalane) (CTFA name: hydroxyethyl acrylate/sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate copolymer/squalane/polysorbate 60) by the company SEPPIC (I NCI name: Hydroxyethyl acrylate/sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate copolymer) .
Such polymers are described in application FR-A-2856691.
Mention may also be made of Simulgel EG sold by the company SEPPIC (copolymer of acrylic acid/acrylamido-2-methyl-propanesulphonic acid in sodium salt form, as a 45% inverse emulsion in isohexadecane/water) (CTFA name: Sodium acrylate/Sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate copolymer/lsohexadecane/Polysorbate 80), and (3) copolymers of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulphonic acid and of vinylpyrrolidone or vinylformamide, such as the products sold under the name Aristoflex AVC by the company Clariant.
When the monomers containing a sulphonic group are copolymerized with ethylenically unsaturated hydrophobic monomers comprising a hydrophobic chain, also referred to as a fatty chain (C6-C50 chain), the polymer obtained is amphiphile, i.e. it comprises both a hydrophilic portion and a hydrophobic portion. Such polymers are also referred to as hydrophobic modified polymers. These hydrophobic modified polymers may also contain one or more monomers comprising neither a sulphonic group nor a fatty chain, such as (meth)acrylic acids, β- substituted alkyl derivatives thereof or esters thereof obtained with monoalcohols or monoalkylene or polyalkylene glycols, (meth)acrylamides, vinylpyrrolidone, vinylformamide, maleic anhydride, itaconic acid or maleic acid, or mixtures of these compounds.

Among these radicals, the ones that are more particularly preferred are substantially linear alkyl radicals and more particularly the n-dodecyl, n-hexadecyl or n-octadecyl radical, and mixtures thereof.
According to one particularly preferred form of the invention, the monomer of formula (IV) comprises at least one alkylene oxide unit (x > 1) and preferably several alkylene oxide units (x > 1) forming a polyoxyalkylene chain.

The number of oxyalkylene units (or number of moles of alkylene oxide) generally ranges from 3 to 100, more preferably from 3 to 50 and more preferably still from 7 to 25. Among these polymers, mention may be made of:

- a gelling polymer.
Anionic and amphoteric foaming surfactants
The anionic and amphoteric (or zwitterionic) surfactants present in the composition according to the invention are foaming surfactants capable of cleansing the skin.
Foaming surfactants are detergents and differ from emulsifiers in the value of their HLB (Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance), the HLB being the ratio of the hydrophilic part to the lipophilic part in the molecule. The term "HLB" is well known to a person skilled in the art and is described, for example, in "The HLB system. A time-saving guide to Emulsifier Selection" (published by ICI Americas Inc., 1984). For emulsifiers, the HLB generally ranges from 3 to 8 for the preparation of W/O emulsions and from 8 to 18 for the preparation of O/W emulsions, whereas foaming surfactants generally have an HLB of greater than 20.
The total amount (of active material) of anionic and amphoteric foaming surfactants present in the second composition is greater than or equal to 10% by weight relative to the total weight of the second composition, for example ranging from 10% to 40% by weight, preferably greater than or equal to 15% by weight, for example from 15% to 35% by weight.
The anionic and amphoteric foaming surfactants are present in the second composition in an amphoteric surfactant/anionic surfactant ratio ranging from 0.9 to 80/20, better still from 1 to 75/25, in particular from 1 to 71/29.

Anionic derivatives of proteins of plant origin are protein hydrolysates containing a hydrophobic group, it being possible for said hydrophobic group to be naturally present in the protein or to be added by reaction of the protein and/or of the protein hydrolysate with a hydrophobic compound. The proteins are of plant origin or are derived from silk, and the hydrophobic group may in particular be a fatty chain, for example an alkyl chain comprising from 10 to 22 carbon atoms. As anionic derivatives of proteins of plant origin, mention may more particularly be made of apple, wheat, soybean or oat protein hydrolysates comprising an alkyl chain having from 10 to 22 carbon atoms, and salts thereof. The alkyl chain may especially be a lauryl chain and the salt may be a sodium, potassium and/or ammonium salt.

According to one particular embodiment, when the active agent present in the first composition is a peroxide, this advantageously comprises an activator promoting the decomposition of H202. The expression "activator promoting the decomposition of H202" encompasses any molecule or composition that may lead to the decomposition of H202 to give water and oxygen.
This expression therefore encompasses a large number of compounds known to those skilled in the art. As activators, mention may in particular be made of basic compounds, especially sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, ammonia or triethanolamine, sodium (or ammonium) bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, manganese gluconate, sodium borate, calcium peroxide, calcium hydroxide, basic amino acids and salts thereof, such as lysine, arginine and salts thereof; guanidine; potassium carbonate, urea, aminomethylpropanol, aminopropanol, monoethanolamine (MEA), aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES), sodium or magnesium silicate derivatives, especially laponite (in particular the Laponite XLG sold by the company Rockwood), smectite, sodium metasilicate, hectorite, basic zeolites, especially the zeolite sold by the company Zeochem under the reference X-MOL, or a mixture thereof.

These active agents will generally be present in the compositions of the assembly according to the invention in a content ranging from 0.01 % to 20% by weight and preferably from 0.1 % to 10% by weight relative to the total weight of each composition.
A person skilled in the art will take care to select, from among these active agents, those which may have an activity under the conditions of use of the compositions according to the invention. A person skilled in the art will also take care to ensure that the active principles used in their amounts do not interfere with the advantageous properties of the compositions forming the cosmetic assembly according to the invention, especially in terms of pH. Preferably, the additional active agents will be incorporated into the second composition of the cosmetic assembly, or into an additional composition of the cosmetic assembly. The compositions of the assembly according to the invention can be provided in any galenic form normally used in the cosmetic or dermatological fields which is compatible with the characteristics of said compositions.
In particular, they are present in the form of a foaming gel. According to the invention, the two compositions of the cosmetic assembly may be presented in various forms of cosmetic products, with various containers, compartments, closing members, applicators, packagings, etc.
The invention also relates to a packaging assembly comprising:
i. a first compartment containing a first aqueous composition containing at least one active agent chosen from peroxides, -hydroxy acids, β-hydroxy acids and mixtures thereof and at least one polymer comprising at least one monomer containing a sulphonic group;
ii. a second compartment containing a second aqueous composition containing an anionic foaming surfactant and an amphoteric foaming surfactant in an amphoteric surfactant/anionic surfactant ratio ranging from 0.9 to 80/20, the total content of anionic and amphoteric surfactants being greater than or equal to 10% by weight relative to the total weight of the second composition, and a gelling polymer, said second compartment being isolated in a leaktight manner from the first, and
iii. means for making it possible to bring the two compositions into contact, in particular at the time of use.
The first and the second composition of the packaging assembly are as defined above. Such an assembly advantageously makes it possible to bring its two compositions, packaged separately in respectively the first compartment and the second compartment forming said assembly, into contact at the time of use. This assembly can also be provided with means which make it possible to bring the first compartment and the second compartment, and thus their respective contents, into contact. The assembly is also advantageously provided with a means suitable for the dispensing of the mixture of the two compositions.
More specifically, the first and second compositions, for the implementation of the invention, are packaged separately inside two compartments, formed either by two separate containers, or inside a single device.
The container(s) can have any appropriate form. It (they) can in particular be in the form of a bottle, a tube, a jar, a case, a box, a sachet or a casing. The closing member of the container(s) can be in the form of a removable stopper, of a lid, of a seal, of a tear-off strip or of a bottle cap, in particular of the type comprising a body attached to the container and a cover cap hinged to the body. It may also be in the form of a member for selectively closing the container, especially a pump, a valve or a flap.
The container may be combined with an applicator. The applicator may be in the form of a fine brush, as described, for example, in patent FR 2 722 380. The applicator can be in the form of a foam or elastomer pad, of a felt-tipped pen or of a spatula. The applicator may be free (powder puff or sponge) or securely fastened to a shaft borne by the closing member, as described, for example, in patent US 5 492 426. The applicator may be securely fastened to the container, as described, for example, in patent FR 2 761 959.
The compositions may be contained directly in the container, or indirectly. By way of example, the compositions may be arranged on an impregnated support, especially in the form of a wipe or a pad, and arranged (single unit or several) in a box or in a sachet. Such a support incorporating the product is described, for example, in patent application WO 01/03538. The closing member may be coupled to the container by screwing. Alternatively, the coupling between the closing member and the container is done other than by screwing, especially via a bayonet mechanism, by click-fastening, clamping, welding, adhesive bonding or by magnetic attraction. The term "click-fastening" in particular means any system involving the passing of a rim or bead of material by elastic deformation of a portion, especially of the closing member, followed by return to the elastically unstressed position of said portion after the rim or bead has been passed.
The container may be at least partially made of thermoplastic material. Examples of thermoplastic materials that may be mentioned include polypropylene or polyethylene. Alternatively, the container is made of non-thermoplastic material, especially glass or metal (or alloy).
The container may have rigid walls or deformable walls, especially in the form of a double tube or a double tube bottle.
The container may comprise means intended to bring about or facilitate the dispensing of the composition. By way of example, the container may have deformable walls so as to cause the composition to exit in response to excess pressurization inside the container, which excess pressurization is brought about by the elastic (or nonelastic) crushing of the walls of the container
The container may be formed from a case with a base delimiting at least one housing containing the composition, and a lid, especially hinged to the base, capable of at least partially covering said base. Such a case is described, for example, in patent application WO 03/018423 or in patent FR 2 791 042.
The container may be equipped with a wiping element positioned in the vicinity of the opening of the container. Such a wiping element makes it possible to wipe the applicator and, optionally, the shaft to which it may be securely fastened. Such a wiping element is described, for example, in patent FR 2 792 618.
According to one particular embodiment of the invention, the container is in the form of a bottle or a flexible sachet. The term "single device" is understood to mean a device via which the two compartments or containers are integrally attached to one another. Such a device can be obtained by a process of molding the two compartments, in particular made of a thermoplastic material, as a single component. It may also result from any form of assembling, in particular by adhesive bonding, welding or other click-fastening.
According to a first embodiment, the two containers are separate, independent of one another. Such containers may be in various forms. They may especially be tubes, bottles or cans.
One and/or the other of the containers may be surmounted by a manually actuated pump surmounted by a pushbutton for actuating the pump and dispensing the composition via at least one dispensing orifice. Alternatively, one and/or the other of the containers is pressurized, especially by means of a propellant, in particular a propellant gas. In this case, the container(s) is (are) equipped with a valve surmounted by a pushbutton equipped with a nozzle or any other diffusion means for dispensing the product. The propellant may be in a mixture with at least one of the compositions to be dispensed or may be separated, in particular via a piston capable of sliding inside the container, or via the flexible walls of a pocket inside which the composition is placed.
The containers may be made of various materials: plastic, glass or metal.
According to one preferred embodiment, the two compositions are contained inside a single device.
According to one particular embodiment, the first and second compositions of the invention are packaged inside two compartments (51 , 52) delimited by a single device (1) of pump bottle type as represented in Figure 1 of patent US 6 672 483.
In particular, each of the compartments is equipped with a pump (41 , 42), preferably manually actuated, connected to at least one actuating and dispensing means (3) which makes it possible to deliver, separately or as a mixture, said first and second compositions. According to one preferred embodiment, the actuating and dispensing means (3) is common to the two pumps.
According to one alternative, each of the compartments is pressurized, in particular using a propellant, and is equipped with a valve connected to at least one actuating and dispensing means which makes it possible to deliver, separately or as a mixture, said compositions.
In particular, the actuating and dispensing means is common to the two valves.
The packaging device presented in Figure 1 of patent US 6 672 483 is composed of two compartments 51 , 52 positioned side by side and formed inside a component 5 obtained by moulding a thermoplastic material. Each of the containers 51 , 52 comprises a neck 53 delimiting an opening. A pump 41 , 42, which may or may not have an air uptake, is mounted inside the neck of each of the containers. During the mounting, component 5 delimiting the two compartments 51 , 52 is positioned inside a housing element 10.
A pump shaft 21a, 22a of each of the pumps 41 , 42 is inserted forcibly inside a corresponding duct provided in a single pushbutton 3 configured so as to allow the simultaneous actuating of the two pumps in response to a pressure exerted axially on a surface 35 of pushbutton 3.
The ducts of the pushbutton connected to each of the pumps emerge at two orifices 31a, 32a positioned in the vicinity of one another on an external surface of the pushbutton 3. The two compositions exit separately in response to an actuation of the pumps 41 , 42, either onto the finger of the user or onto an applicator pad or cotton wool ball. The mixing of the two compositions then takes place during application to the surface to be treated. Use may be made, for example, of devices as described in the documents US 5 833 121 , US 4 773 562 and US 6 672 483.
According to another particular embodiment, the two compartments are formed inside the same flexible sachet, and are separated by a weak weld or tearing region which can be broken during use, in particular in response to a pressure exerted at a precise point of the sachet, at one of the two compartments. Examples of two-compartment flexible sachets which can be used in the present invention are described in particular in patent applications JP2000272674, WO99/51509, EP 2 437 30 or FR 2 876 356. The compartments can be produced using at least one sheet, for example a sheet of a flexible thermoplastic material, and can be bonded to one another via a common edge of weak weld type. According to one particular embodiment, the common edge of weak weld type is over the entire width of the sachet or over a lesser width forming a leaktight channel between the two sachets. Preferably, the sachet is produced with films impermeable to oxygen from the air, such as aluminium.
Use may also be made of films that are impermeable to water, in the form of a polyethylene terephthalate/silicone/polyethylene (PET/SiOx/PE) triple layer.
Alternatively also, the two compartments are formed from two concentric compartments formed inside a tube, and are surmounted by a pump without air uptake equipped with a pushbutton having one or two dispensing orifices. Provided inside the tube is a piston that rises in the direction of the pump as and when the compositions are withdrawn from inside the containers. Such dispensing modes are especially used for dispensing toothpastes.
