COSMETIC COMPOSITIONS WITH TAPIOCA STARCH
The invention concerns cosmetic compositions with aesthetics providing a silky rub-in transforming into a powdery, drier afterfeel.
5
Proper aesthetics are essential to any successful skin cream or lotion. Without the proper feel, consumers would not buy or use even those products with the most proven dermatological benefits.
Silkiness is known to be imparted by a variety of silicone materials. Yet the silicones do
10 not transform compositions into a powdery afterfeel. Typical disclosures of silicone materials for cosmetics is found in US Patent 5,972,359 (Sine et al.) and US Patent 6,524,598 B2 (Sunkel et al.)
Powders have been formulated into cosmetics. For instance, talc in a fluid media tends to pill or ball-up. US Patent 6,495,123 B1 (Faryniarz et al.) describes how porous particles
15 such as Ganzpearl® GMP 0820 removes the tackiness normally associated with organic sunscreen agents in low pH systems.
Starches have been employed to enhance viscosity of liquid formulations. For instance, US Patent 5,824,323 (Fishman) reports skin lotion compositions with non-greasy skinfeel. These formulas can contain a variety of starches including tapioca to provide body and
20 thickness to the lotions.
Although solutions have been suggested to solve the problem of delivering silky feel to the skin, there still remains the challenge of formulating a cosmetic that upon continued rub-in converts to a powdery dry, almost satin or velvet afterfeel.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
25 A cosmetic composition is provided which includes:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Now there is provided a cosmetic composition of exceptionally pleasant aesthetics. The composition initially delivers a silky feel transitioning after rub-in to a powdery, dry satin or
15 velvety afterfeel. The afterfeel aesthetics are achieved with a combination of tapioca starch and polyacrylate in bead form having number average particle size ranging from 1 to 50 microns.
Tapioca starch is a first component of the present invention. Tapioca, also known as Cassava or Manioc, is a root or tuber extract. The plant is a perennial that grows eight to
20 twelve feet high and the roots can be as much as three feet long and five to ten inches in diameter. Cells of the tuber carry the tapioca starch. This starch is recovered by wet grinding the washed roots and continuous re-washing, resulting in a pure carbohydrate. Particularly preferred is a powder source with a median particle size ranging from about 1 to 100 microns, preferably from 5 to 15 microns, optimally from 10 to 30 microns.
25 The starch is commercially available under the tradename TAPIOCA PURE (28-1810) from the National Starch & Chemical Company, Division of ICI. An alternative source is TIStar Tapioca Starch sold by the Multi-Kern Corporation.

EXAMPLE 11
A study was performed to evaluate various performance aspects of the present invention. For this purpose, a panel of 10 members was assembled to measure sensory properties of a series of lotions. The base formula employed for the study is
5 reported as Example 1, except that the Tapioca Pure, Ganzpearl® GMP 0820, and the silicones were varied according to Table IV.
TABLE IV

Sample No. Tapioca Pure Ganzpearl ® GMP 0820 (wt.%) Silicones (wt.%)
A 0 0.25 0
B 1.75 0 0
C 0 0 0
D 1.75 0.25 0
E 1.75 0.25 7.25
F 0 0 7.25
G 1.75 0 7.25
H 0 0.25 7.25
Each of the panelists was given the eight Samples A-H. A portion of each was
10 spread on the panelist's hands with a request to rate each on a scale from 1 to 5. A rating of 1 corresponded to the least silky/powdery feel while a rating of 5 represented the best combination of most silky/powdery feel. Results are provided in Table V below.
Weighed rankings were obtained by multiplying the rating (1 to 5) by the number of 15 panellists who thought that the sample fell within that rating, then adding up the five values so obtained (one for each rating) and dividing the total by five (the total number of ratings).

H 5.4
The lotion which scored best was sample D formulated with a combination of Tapioca Pure and Ganzpearl® GMP 0820. The addition of silicones as in sample E
5 was almost as silky/powdery. It was clear from samples A and B that lacking either Tapioca Pure or Ganzpearl® GMP 0820 lotions resulted with an inferior feel performance.
EXAMPLE 12
A series of experiments were conducted to evaluate skinfeel performance through
10 instrumentation. The same samples C, E and F as in example 11 were evaluated
for stick/slip friction. Each product was applied to a 15 cm by 15 cm glass plate and
spread uniformly using a #12 Meier Wire Rod. The spread lotion was then dried for
18 hours at 21 °C and 50% relative humidity. A 7.6 cm by 2.5 cm aluminum sled
covered with a 100% rayon nonwoven fabric (carded white nonwoven fabric made
15 from a 100% rayon staple fibre and a binder with basis weight of 34.0 g/yd2 supplied
by American Nonwovens Inc (Columbus, MS, USA)) was pulled across the surface
of the sled by an Instron-type apparatus in 15 second increments, stopping at the
end of each increment. The sled was pulled a distance of 2.5 cm during each 15
second increment. The sequence was: pull for 15-seconds, stop, pull for 15-
20 seconds, stop and so on until the edge of the glass plate was reached. A new piece
of nonwoven fabric was placed on the sled and the sequence was repeated on a
new section of the glass plate. The sled was run without and with a 100 gram

weight. Sixteen runs were performed for each condition. The data is reported in Table VI.
TABLE VI

Sled with or without 100 g Sample C Sample E Sample F
With weight 78.7 +/- 6.8 73.1 +/- 5.1 88.7 +/- 6.5
Without weight 14.3 +/- 1.1 12.2 +/- 1.2 16.4 +/- 2.0
5 The values in the table represent the mean peak load in grams as measured by the Instron-type apparatus force transducer with standard deviation specified. The data shows that the addition of silicones increases the peak load ("stick") 15% and 13% for the un-weighted and weighted sled. Compare sample C to sample F. The effect of all the additives is a decrease of 15% and 7%. Compare sample C to sample E.
10 Note that the addition of Tapioca Pure and Ganzpearl® GMP 0820 to the product containing silicone reduces the peak load by 26% and 18%. Compare sample E to sample F. These tests confirm the enhanced aesthetics achievable by the Tapioca Pure and Ganzpearl® GMP 0820 combination.
