Full Text	FOAMING COMPOSITION FOR HAIR CARE The present invention, relates to navel foaming compositions for washing and treating the hair and/or scalp, comprising at least one active principle chosen from corticosteroids and retinoids, one anionic surfactant, one amphoteric surfactant and one propenetrating agent, and to the treatment process employing such compositions. Psoriasis is one of the commonest skin ailments among all chronic skin diseases. This disease is found in 1.4 to 2.9% of the population. The scalp is one of the favored sites for psoriasis; the latter causes essentially erythemas, desquamations, hyperkeratoses or pruritides and can also be responsible for a reduction in hair density. The treatments used to date involve salicylic acid, local steroids, anthralin, or coal or wood tar. These treatments are unpleasant, in particular when tar is applied, and require lengthy applications, in particular when hair ointments are used. For the purpose of improving the quality of life for the patient, without however decreasing the therapeutic effect of the treatment, foaming compositions comprising corticosteroids have been. developed. More particularly, the application time of these foaming compositions is reduced with respect to the, conventional treatment. Patent BE 84515 discloses a composition comprising hydrocortisone in a solvent mixture composed of 15 to 60% of aliphatic alcohol, 15 to 60% of propylene glycol and of 5 to 60% of a third solubilizing agent taken from the group consisting of 2-hydroxyethyl salicylate, dipropyl ketone and dimethylcocobenzylammonium chloride. Patent EP 0 325 949 discloses a solution comprising at least 2.5% of corticosteroids, from 25 to 80% of a nonionic surfactant, from 0 to 70% of ethanol. from 0 to 70% of propylene glycol and an antimicrobial agent. Nevertheless, the solvents present in these compositions have a tendency to evaporate very rapidly. Furthermore, the fluidity of these compositions renders the application difficult and it is often necessary to apply these compositions by rubbing in order to allow effective penetration of the active principles, the consequence of which is to irritate the epidermis even more, or to apply these compositions and to allow them to act for several hours, which is annoying to the patient. To avoid evaporation of the solvent, provision has been made, in Patent WO 9627376, for a foam comprising a corticosteroid, a foam-breaking agent, a propellant and buffer. The foam-breaking agent is composed of an aliphatic alcohol, of water, of a fatty alcohol and of a nonionic surfactant. Nevertheless, when these foams are applied to keratinous fibers, their resulting esthetic appearance is not satisfactory and the scalp lying under the keratinous fibers may be insufficiently treated. The Applicant Company has looked for compositions which do not exhibit the abovementioned disadvantages, that is to say a composition which makes it possible to improve the penetration of the active principle while being particularly easy to use and exhibiting good cosmetic properties. The Applicant Company has now developed a foaming composition which exhibits the properties mentioned above. The compositions of the present invention, while making possible good penetration of the active principles, also exhibit an improvement in the cosmetic performances of the compositions for the treatment of skin ailments or of the hair, the compositions of the invention leaving the hair soft and manageable and not rendering it greasy. Furthermore, these compositions are easy to rinse out. The Applicant Company has also found that the foaming compositions of the present invention surprisingly make it possible to obtain a foam which exhibits improved characteristics of volume and of compactness with respect to the foaming compositions for the treatment of skin ailments or of the scalp of the prior art. It has also been found that, surprisingly, the compositions which are subject matters of the present invention are stable over time, making it possible to prevent the precipitation of the active principles, and thus remain clear. One of the subject matters of the invention is thus composed of a foaming composition for washing and treating the hair and/or the scalp. Another subject matter of the invention is a process for washing and treating the hair and/or the scalp employing such a composition. A subject matter of the invention is also a composition according to the invention for its application as medicament. A subject matter of the invention is also the use of the compositions of the invention as medicament and for the manufacture of a medicament intended to treat skin ailments or hair. Other subject matters of the invention will become apparent on reading the description and the examples which follow. The foaming composition for washing and treating the hair and/or the scalp is essentially characterized in that it comprises, in an aqueous medium: - at least one active principle chosen from corticosteroids and retinoids, - at least one anionic surfactant, - at least one amphoteric surfactant, and - at least one propenetrating agent.

FOAMING COMPOSITION FOR HAIR CARE
The present invention, relates to navel foaming
compositions for washing and treating the hair and/or
scalp, comprising at least one active principle chosen
from corticosteroids and retinoids, one anionic
surfactant, one amphoteric surfactant and one
propenetrating agent, and to the treatment process
employing such compositions.
Psoriasis is one of the commonest skin ailments
among all chronic skin diseases. This disease is found
in 1.4 to 2.9% of the population. The scalp is one of
the favored sites for psoriasis; the latter causes
essentially erythemas, desquamations, hyperkeratoses or
pruritides and can also be responsible for a reduction
in hair density. The treatments used to date involve
salicylic acid, local steroids, anthralin, or coal or
wood tar. These treatments are unpleasant, in
particular when tar is applied, and require lengthy
applications, in particular when hair ointments are
used.
For the purpose of improving the quality of
life for the patient, without however decreasing the
therapeutic effect of the treatment, foaming
compositions comprising corticosteroids have been.
developed. More particularly, the application time of
these foaming compositions is reduced with respect to
the, conventional treatment.
Patent BE 84515 discloses a composition
comprising hydrocortisone in a solvent mixture composed
of 15 to 60% of aliphatic alcohol, 15 to 60% of
propylene glycol and of 5 to 60% of a third
solubilizing agent taken from the group consisting of
2-hydroxyethyl salicylate, dipropyl ketone and
dimethylcocobenzylammonium chloride.
Patent EP 0 325 949 discloses a solution
comprising at least 2.5% of corticosteroids, from 25 to
80% of a nonionic surfactant, from 0 to 70% of ethanol.
from 0 to 70% of propylene glycol and an antimicrobial
agent.
Nevertheless, the solvents present in these
compositions have a tendency to evaporate very rapidly.
Furthermore, the fluidity of these compositions renders
the application difficult and it is often necessary to
apply these compositions by rubbing in order to allow
effective penetration of the active principles, the
consequence of which is to irritate the epidermis even
more, or to apply these compositions and to allow them
to act for several hours, which is annoying to the
patient.
To avoid evaporation of the solvent, provision
has been made, in Patent WO 9627376, for a foam
comprising a corticosteroid, a foam-breaking agent, a
propellant and buffer. The foam-breaking agent is
composed of an aliphatic alcohol, of water, of a fatty
alcohol and of a nonionic surfactant. Nevertheless,
when these foams are applied to keratinous fibers,
their resulting esthetic appearance is not satisfactory
and the scalp lying under the keratinous fibers may be
insufficiently treated.
The Applicant Company has looked for
compositions which do not exhibit the abovementioned
disadvantages, that is to say a composition which makes
it possible to improve the penetration of the active
principle while being particularly easy to use and
exhibiting good cosmetic properties.
The Applicant Company has now developed a
foaming composition which exhibits the properties
mentioned above.
The compositions of the present invention,
while making possible good penetration of the active
principles, also exhibit an improvement in the cosmetic
performances of the compositions for the treatment of
skin ailments or of the hair, the compositions of the
invention leaving the hair soft and manageable and not
rendering it greasy. Furthermore, these compositions
are easy to rinse out.
The Applicant Company has also found that the
foaming compositions of the present invention
surprisingly make it possible to obtain a foam which
exhibits improved characteristics of volume and of
compactness with respect to the foaming compositions
for the treatment of skin ailments or of the scalp of
the prior art.
It has also been found that, surprisingly, the
compositions which are subject matters of the present
invention are stable over time, making it possible to
prevent the precipitation of the active principles, and
thus remain clear.
One of the subject matters of the invention is
thus composed of a foaming composition for washing and
treating the hair and/or the scalp.
Another subject matter of the invention is a
process for washing and treating the hair and/or the
scalp employing such a composition.
A subject matter of the invention is also a
composition according to the invention for its
application as medicament.
A subject matter of the invention is also the
use of the compositions of the invention as medicament
and for the manufacture of a medicament intended to
treat skin ailments or hair.
Other subject matters of the invention will
become apparent on reading the description and the
examples which follow.
