Description

La présente invention concerne un article d'échantillonnage cosmétique permettant de visualiser une composition cosmétique sans l'appliquer, ainsi qu'un procédé pour réaliser un tel article.The present invention relates to a cosmetic sampling article to visualize a cosmetic composition without applying it, as well as than a method for making such an article.

Une composition est dite cosmétique lorsqu'elle contient un milieu physiologiquement acceptable, c'est-à-dire qu'elle peut être appliquée sur la peau aussi bien du visage que du corps humain, sur les lèvres et sur les phanères comme les ongles, les cils, les sourcils ou les cheveux.A composition is said to be cosmetic when it contains a medium physiologically acceptable, that is to say that it can be applied to the skin of the face as well as the human body, on the lips and on the skin dander such as nails, eyelashes, eyebrows or hair.

Lorsque l'on achète un produit cosmétique, on souhaite en général pouvoir visualiser au préalable la composition cosmétique. Certains produits cosmétiques sont conditionnés dans des récipients transparents qui permettent de visualiser la couleur de la composition cosmétique. C'est le cas notamment des vernis à ongles qui sont généralement conditionnés dans des flacons transparents. Toutefois, le rendu visuel de la composition dans un récipient qui comprend un grand volume de produit n'est pas toujours représentatif du rendu visuel d'une fine couche de la composition sur la peau ou les ongles. C'est pourquoi dans le cas des vernis à ongles par exemple, certains magasins prévoient des nuanciers sur lesquels sont appliquées des couches de vernis à ongles, ce qui permet d'avoir une meilleure idée du rendu visuel que peut avoir une couche de la composition de vernis à ongles sur un ongle.When you buy a cosmetic product, you usually want to be able to visualize beforehand the cosmetic composition. Some products cosmetics are packaged in transparent containers that allow to visualize the color of the cosmetic composition. This is particularly the case nail polish that is usually packaged in vials transparent. However, the visual rendering of the composition in a container which includes a large volume of product is not always representative of the rendering Visualization of a thin layer of the composition on the skin or nails. It is why in the case of nail polish for example, some stores provide color charts on which are applied layers of varnish to nails, which allows to have a better idea of the visual rendering that may have a layer of the nail polish composition on a fingernail.

Lorsque l'on achète un produit cosmétique par correspondance, on doit choisir la composition à partir de la teinte reproduite sur un catalogue. Or, il est très difficile de retranscrire sur une feuille de catalogue les couleurs d'une couche d'une composition cosmétique. Il est également très difficile de retranscrire sur une feuille de catalogue les effets que peuvent donner certaines compositions, comme par exemple dans le cas des vernis à ongles, un effet mohair, un effet interférentiel (le rendu visuel de la composition varie en fonction de l'angle avec lequel on la regarde), un effet scintillant, etc. When you buy a cosmetic product by correspondence, you have to choose the composition from the hue reproduced on a catalog. But he is very difficult to retranscribe on a catalog sheet the colors of a layer of a cosmetic composition. It is also very difficult to transcribe on a catalog sheet the effects that some compositions can have, as for example in the case of nail polish, a mohair effect, an effect interferential (the visual rendering of the composition varies according to the angle with which one looks at it), a glittering effect, etc.

De la même manière, les documents FR 1 110 340 et FR 2 227 805 décrivent des bandes transparentes sur lesquelles sont reproduites au moyen d'une encre différentes parties du visage ou des mains, notamment les lèvres, les sourcils ou les ongles dans différentes teintes. Là encore, il est très difficile de retranscrire sur une telle bande les couleurs d'une couche d'une composition cosmétique.In the same way, documents FR 1 110 340 and FR 2 227 805 describe transparent bands on which are reproduced by means of a different parts of the face or hands, including the lips, eyebrows or nails in different shades. Again, it is very difficult to retranscribe on such a band the colors of a layer of a composition cosmetic.

Il existe également des échantillons de produit comportant une petite dose de produit destiné à être prélevé par l'utilisatrice pour qu'elle l'utilise de manière à ce qu'elle ait une idée du rendu du produit avant de l'acheter. Les brevets US 4,751,934, US 4,848,378, US 5,192,386, US 5,799,675, EP 1266 589 décrivent par exemple de tells échantillons.There are also product samples with a small dose of product intended to be taken by the user for use in order to she has an idea of the product's rendering before buying it. Licences US 4,751,934, US 4,848,378, US 5,192,386, US 5,799,675, EP 1266,589 describe for example such samples.

Aussi, est-ce un des objets de l'invention que de réaliser un article qui permette de visualiser le rendu d'une couche d'une composition cosmétique sans avoir besoin de l'appliquer.Also, is it an object of the invention to produce an article that allows to visualize the rendering of a layer of a cosmetic composition without having need to apply it.

C'est en particulier un objet de l'invention que de simuler l'application d'une couche d'une composition cosmétique sur une zone de la peau ou sur un ongle.It is in particular an object of the invention to simulate the application of a layer of a cosmetic composition on an area of the skin or on a fingernail.

C'est encore un autre objet de l'invention que de réaliser un tel article qui soit peu encombrant et relativement léger tout en étant suffisamment rigide pour pouvoir être mis dans un courrier et transporté sans risque d'être altéré.It is yet another object of the invention to provide such an article which is compact and relatively lightweight while being rigid enough to can be put in a mail and transported without risk of being tampered with.

Selon l'invention, ces objets peuvent être atteints en réalisant un article d'échantillonnage cosmétique comprenant un support transparent sous forme d'une feuille, le support étant en partie recouvert d'au moins deux motifs visuellement différents formés à partir d'au moins une composition cosmétique, notamment d'un vernis à ongles, les deux compositions étant fixées de façon permanente sur le support.According to the invention, these objects can be achieved by making an article cosmetic sampling comprising a transparent support in form of a sheet, the support being partially covered with at least two motifs visually different formed from at least one cosmetic composition, nail varnish, the two compositions being fixed in such a way as to permanent on the support.

Au sens de la présente invention, on entend par "compositions fixées de façon permanente sur le support", des compositions qui ne sont pas transférables du support sur la peau ou les ongles. Contrairement aux échantillons contenant une dose de produit à appliquer cités précédemment, de telles compositions ne peuvent pas être prélevées par un doigt pour être appliquées sur la peau ou les ongles. Il s'agit par exemple de vernis à ongles, de rouges à lèvres sans transfert, de fond de teint sans transfert, etc. Bien entendu, de telles compositions pourront être, au moins en partie, enlevées du support au moyen d'un produit tel qu'un dissolvant dans le cas des vernis à ongles ou encore d'un produit démaquillant dans le cas des autres produits cosmétiques.For the purposes of the present invention, the term "compositions permanent on the support ", compositions that are not transferable from the support on the skin or nails. Unlike samples containing a dose of the product to be applied mentioned above, such compositions can not be removed by a finger to be applied to the skin or nails. This is for example nail polish, lipsticks without transfer, foundation without transfer, etc. Of course, such compositions may be removed, at least in part, from the medium by means of of a product such as a solvent in the case of nail polish or a cleansing product in the case of other cosmetic products.

En utilisant la composition cosmétique elle-même que l'on applique sur un support transparent, on obtient un article qui peut parfaitement retranscrire l'effet que l'on obtiendrait en appliquant cette composition sur la peau ou les ongles. En effet, le support étant transparent, il ne risque pas d'altérer l'effet rendu par la composition elle-même.By using the cosmetic composition itself which is applied to a transparent support, we obtain an article that can perfectly transcribe the effect that would be obtained by applying this composition to the skin or nails. Indeed, the support being transparent, it does not risk to alter the effect rendered by the composition itself.

La composition cosmétique peut contenir un milieu solvant organique ou aqueux et au moins un polymère filmogène, le motif étant formé par un film résultant de l'évaporation de la phase solvant de la composition, après dépôt de ladite composition cosmétique sur le support.The cosmetic composition may contain an organic solvent medium or at least one film-forming polymer, the pattern being formed by a film resulting from the evaporation of the solvent phase of the composition, after deposition of said cosmetic composition on the support.

Les motifs étant visuellement différents, on peut ainsi avec un même article visualiser différentes compositions cosmétiques, par exemple l'ensemble des teintes d'une gamme d'une composition cosmétique.The reasons being visually different, one can thus with the same article visualize different cosmetic compositions, for example all shades of a range of a cosmetic composition.

Les motifs peuvent être formés à partir de deux compositions cosmétiques différentes, notamment par leur couleur et/ou leur texture.The patterns can be formed from two cosmetic compositions different, in particular by their color and / or their texture.

Les motifs peuvent différer par leur forme. Ils peuvent notamment avoir une forme choisie parmi la forme d'un ongle, d'une lèvre, d'une paupière, d'une joue, en fonction bien entendu de la composition cosmétique formant le motif. Cela permet d'être encore plus représentatif de l'effet obtenu lorsque l'on applique la composition sur la peau ou les ongles. On peut en outre facilement simuler l'application d'une couche de la composition en superposant le motif sur la zone du corps sur laquelle on souhaite l'appliquer sans que l'on ait besoin d'appliquer réellement une couche de cette composition.The reasons may differ in their form. In particular, they may have a shape selected from the form of a fingernail, a lip, an eyelid, a plays, depending of course on the cosmetic composition forming the pattern. This makes it possible to be even more representative of the effect obtained when apply the composition on the skin or nails. We can also easily simulate the application of a layer of the composition by superimposing the pattern on the area of the body on which it is desired to apply it without the need to really apply a layer of this composition.

Le support transparent peut être réalisé en matériau thermoplastique.The transparent support may be made of thermoplastic material.

La feuille peut avoir une épaisseur comprise entre 100 et 300 µm et de préférence entre 100 et 200 µm. Un tel article est donc peu encombrant et peut par exemple facilement se glisser à l'intérieur d'un catalogue. En outre, il est suffisamment léger et rigide pour pouvoir être mis dans un courrier pour être transporté sans risque d'être abímé.The sheet may have a thickness of between 100 and 300 μm and preferably between 100 and 200 microns. Such an article is therefore not bulky and can for example easily slip into a catalog. In addition, it is sufficiently light and rigid to be put in a mail to be transported without risk of being damaged.

Les compositions cosmétiques peuvent être déposées sur la feuille support par sérigraphie.The cosmetic compositions can be deposited on the carrier sheet by serigraphy.

L'invention concerne également un procédé pour réaliser un article d'échantillonnage cosmétique, dans lequel on imprime par sérigraphie au moins une composition cosmétique sur un support transparent de manière à obtenir un motif apte à être fixé de manière permanente sur le support.The invention also relates to a method for producing an article cosmetic sampling, in which at least one screen printing a cosmetic composition on a transparent support so as to obtain a pattern capable of being fixed permanently on the support.

Le procédé de sérigraphie permet de déposer une épaisseur d'une composition cosmétique plus ou moins importante en jouant sur le maillage du tamis utilisé pour l'impression.The screen printing process makes it possible to deposit a thickness of a composition cosmetic more or less important by playing on the mesh of the sieve used for printing.

On peut imprimer plusieurs compositions cosmétiques différentes sur le support, le support pouvant être une feuille d'un matériau thermoplastique.Several different cosmetic compositions can be printed on the support, the support being a sheet of a thermoplastic material.

L'invention consiste, mis à part les dispositions exposées ci-dessus, en un certain nombre d'autres dispositions qui seront explicitées ci-après, à propos d'exemples de réalisation non limitatifs, décrits en référence aux figures annexées, parmi lesquelles :

  • la figure 1 illustre une vue en perspective d'un article d'échantillonnage selon l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 représente une vue en coupe de l'article illustré à la figure 1 ; et
  • la figure 3 illustre une vue en perspective de l'article selon l'invention en cours d'utilisation.
The invention consists, apart from the arrangements set out above, in a certain number of other arrangements which will be explained below, with reference to nonlimiting exemplary embodiments, described with reference to the appended figures, among which:
  • Figure 1 illustrates a perspective view of a sampling article according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 shows a sectional view of the article illustrated in Figure 1; and
  • Figure 3 illustrates a perspective view of the article according to the invention in use.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré sur les figures 1 à 3, l'article d'échantillonnage 10 est prévu pour visualiser une composition de vernis à ongles.In the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, the article 10 is provided to visualize a composition of varnish to nails.

L'article 10 est formé par un support transparent 20 sous forme de feuille, la feuille étant en partie recouverte d'une composition de vernis à ongles.Article 10 is formed by a transparent support 20 in sheet form, the leaf being partly covered with a nail polish composition.

Selon l'exemple illustré, le support 20 est une feuille d'une épaisseur environ égale à 130 µm et a par exemple une largeur de 5 cm et une longueur de 10 cm. Le support est donc relativement léger et présente un faible encombrement.According to the illustrated example, the support 20 is a sheet of about a thickness equal to 130 μm and for example has a width of 5 cm and a length of 10 cm. The support is therefore relatively light and has a low footprint.

Le support est par exemple réalisé en polystyrène, notamment en polystyrène brillant commercialisé sous la référence PF 110 Cristal Clear par la société Sidaplast. Un tel matériau est très clair et permet une bonne accroche de la composition de vernis à ongles, sans déformation du support.The support is for example made of polystyrene, especially polystyrene gloss sold under the reference PF 110 Crystal Clear by the company Sidaplast. Such a material is very clear and allows a good grip of the nail polish composition, without deformation of the support.

Le support 20 comporte trois motifs 30 en forme d'ongles formés chacun d'une couche d'une composition de vernis à ongles. Chaque motif est réalisé à partir d'une composition de vernis à ongles différente. De préférence, chaque motif a un rendu visuel différent, en particulier, une couleur et/ou une teinte différente ou encore un effet différent, par exemple un effet scintillant, un effet interférentiel, un effet mohair, etc...The support 20 comprises three nail-shaped units 30 each formed of a layer of a nail polish composition. Each pattern is made from of a different nail polish composition. Preferably, each pattern has a different visual rendition, in particular, a different color and / or hue or a different effect, for example a glitter effect, an effect interferential, a mohair effect, etc.

Il est évident que le support pourrait comporter encore plus de motifs pour permettre à l'utilisatrice de visualiser plusieurs compositions de vernis à ongles différentes, par exemple l'ensemble des teintes d'une même gamme de vernis à ongles. It is obvious that the support could have even more reasons for allow the user to visualize several nail polish compositions different, for example all the shades of the same range of varnish to nails.

Les couches de compositions de vernis à ongles ont une épaisseur environ égale à 30 µm. Une telle couche simule donc parfaitement une couche de la composition appliquée sur un ongle.The layers of nail polish compositions have a thickness of about equal to 30 μm. Such a layer therefore perfectly simulates a layer of composition applied to a nail.

Pour utiliser un tel article, l'utilisatrice saisit le support 20 et superpose l'un des motifs 30 sur son ongle comme on le voit à la figure 3. Elle peut ainsi facilement simuler l'application d'une couche de la composition de vernis à ongles sur son ongle, sans avoir besoin de l'appliquer. Le support est en effet suffisamment rigide pour pouvoir être maintenu sensiblement à plat en n'étant tenu que par un de ses coins par une seule main et être superposé sur l'autre main.To use such an article, the user grasps the support 20 and superimposes one of the patterns 30 on her fingernail as seen in Figure 3. She can thus easily simulate the application of a layer of the nail polish composition on its nail, without the need to apply it. The support is indeed enough rigid so that it can be maintained substantially flat by being held only by one of its corners by one hand and be superimposed on the other hand.

Pour réaliser l'article 10, on réalise une feuille de polystyrène d'un format relativement grand. On dépose ensuite par sérigraphie une ou plusieurs couches de composition de vernis à ongles de manière à former un ou plusieurs motifs 30 en forme d'ongles.To make the article 10, a polystyrene sheet of a format is produced relatively large. One or more layers of nail polish composition so as to form one or several patterns 30 in the form of nails.

On utilise par exemple un procédé de sérigraphie à plat avec un tamis mobile qui peut comporter plusieurs motifs en forme d'ongle, et une racle fixe. La feuille de polystyrène est amenée au contact du tamis contre lequel elle est maintenue, en regard de la racle, grâce à un contre-cylindre. Après avoir déposé la(es) composition(s) de vernis à ongles sur le tamis, la feuille est déplacée dans le sens inverse du sens de déplacement du tamis et la racle fait passer la composition au travers des mailles du tamis formant les motifs afin de la transférer sur la feuille. Lorsque l'on réalise un support recouvert de plusieurs compositions de vernis à ongles différentes, elles peuvent être imprimées lors d'une même passe de sérigraphie ou lors de plusieurs passes différentes.For example, a flat screen printing method with a movable screen is used. which may have several nail-shaped patterns, and a fixed squeegee. Leaf polystyrene is brought into contact with the sieve against which it is maintained, facing the squeegee, thanks to a counter-cylinder. After having deposited the nail polish composition (s) on the sieve, the leaf is moved in the opposite direction to the direction of movement of the sieve and the squeegee pass the composition through the sieve mesh forming the patterns in order to transfer it to the sheet. When making a support covered with several different nail polish compositions, they can be printed when the same screen printing pass or during several different passes.

La feuille ainsi imprimée est ensuite séchée à l'air ambiant dans un tunnel de séchage afin d'extraire les solvants des compositions de vernis à ongles.The sheet thus printed is then dried in ambient air in a tunnel of drying to remove solvents from nail polish compositions.

Après environ 30 secondes de séchage les feuilles ainsi obtenues sont empilées les unes sur les autres et massicotées pour obtenir le format du support 20 comportant, comme dans l'exemple illustré à la figure 1, trois motifs 30. After about 30 seconds of drying, the leaves thus obtained are stacked on top of each other and trimmed to obtain the format of the support 20 comprising, as in the example illustrated in FIG. 30.

L'article 10 obtenu peut être associé à un catalogue de vente par correspondance de produits cosmétiques en étant glissé à l'intérieur.Article 10 obtained may be associated with a sales catalog by correspondence of cosmetic products being slipped inside.

L'article 10 peut également être utilisé dans des magasins, sur les points de vente de produits cosmétiques et mis à disposition des clientes. Cela évite notamment aux vendeuses d'appliquer le vernis à ongles sur les clientes et de l'enlever avec du dissolvant. L'article 10 peut en outre être réutilisé plusieurs fois pour plusieurs clientes.Article 10 can also be used in shops, on sale of cosmetics and made available to customers. It avoids sellers to apply nail polish to clients and remove it with solvent. Article 10 may in addition be reused several times for multiple clients.

Selon un exemple non représenté, l'article d'échantillonnage peut être formé par une feuille transparente en partie recouverte d'une composition de rouge à lèvre sans transfert. Le motif a alors la forme des lèvres.According to an example not shown, the sampling article can be formed by a transparent sheet partly covered with a composition of red to lip without transfer. The pattern then has the shape of the lips.

Dans la description détaillée qui précède, il a été fait référence à des modes de réalisation préférés de l'invention. Il est évident que des variantes peuvent y être apportées sans s'écarter de l'invention telle que revendiquée ci-après.In the above detailed description, reference has been made to modes of preferred embodiment of the invention. It is obvious that variants can to be made without departing from the invention as claimed hereinafter.
