Embodiment 1

[0161] Evaluation of signs of degradation and stabilization of 4-alkylresorcinols

[0162] color measurement

[0163] By dissolving 4-hexylresorcinol (200 mg) or 4-ethylresorcinol (200 mg) in deionized water: butanediol (4:1; 20 ml) to produce a clear, colorless homogeneous solution, to prepare samples for color evaluation. A portion (5 ml) of each solution was added to 20 ml scintillation vials containing nicotinamide (B3) (50 mg), AceMet (acetylmethionine) (50 mg) or B3 (50 mg) + AceMet (50 mg), and Monitor at room temperature (-20-22°C). After 2 weeks, the color of each solution was assessed visually and L*a*b* measurements were determined experimentally using a Labscan XE instrument (Hunter Associates Labs Inc., Reston, VA) and processed with Universal software (version 4.10). The L* parameter measures darkness and lightness and ranges from black (L*=0) to white (L*=100). The a* parameter measures color content and intensity from green (a*0). The b* parameter also...

[0174] Example 2. ER and AceMet

[0175] Topical cosmetic compositions within the scope of the present invention are prepared.

[0176] The base formulations shown in the table below were prepared by heating the Phase A ingredients to 70 to 85°C with agitation. Heat Phase B ingredients to 70 to 85°C in a separate vessel with stirring. Then, add Phase A to Phase B while maintaining both phases at 70 to 85°C. The mixture was stirred at 70 to 85°C for at least 15 minutes, then cooled. Add phase C ingredients at 50°C, followed by phase D ingredients at 40°C.

[0181] Additional cosmetic compositions falling within the scope of the present invention were prepared as shown in the table below.

[0182] table 3

[0183]

[0184]

[0185] The composition was prepared as follows:

[0186] 1. Heat Phase A to 80°C while mixing.

[0187] 2. Heat Phase B to 75°C in a separate container while mixing.

[0188] 3. Add B to A and mix for 15 minutes with heat maintained at 70-80°C; then turn off heat and continue mixing for another 15 minutes.

[0189] 4. Add Phase C and mix for 10 minutes at 50°C.

[0190] 5. Add Phase D and mix for 10 minutes at 40°C.

Abstract

Topical cosmetic compositions containing 4-substituted resorcinol derivatives in combination with N-acetylmethionine exhibit improved storage stability and oxidative stability. A method of stabilizing 4-ethylresorcinol or 4-hexylresorcinol in a composition comprising a cosmetically acceptable vehicle by adding acetylmethionine to the composition in an amount sufficient to stabilize the 4-ethylresorcinol or 4-hexylresorcinol. The invention relates to the use of N-acetylmethionine and stabilized 4-substituted resorcinol derivatives in the manufacture of topical cosmetic compositions.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application provides topical cosmetic compositions comprising 4-substituted resorcinol derivatives stabilized with acetylmethionine. Background technique [0002] Beauty in the eye of the beholder is influenced by numerous biological and genetic factors. The basis for a natural-looking appearance that is beautiful lies in the skin, including the hair. Ideal skin should be smooth and even, with no visible surface imperfections other than a luminous appearance with even color distribution. Skin and hair problems in aging individuals can be caused by a variety of extrinsic or intrinsic factors, such as harmful UV radiation from the sun, environmental exposure, stress, fatigue, disease, or combinations thereof. [0003] Resorcinol (1,3-benzenediol) derivatives have been used to provide cosmetic benefits to the skin and hair. 4-Substituted resorcinol derivatives and preparations thereof have been used in skin lightening and other cosmetic app...
