Benefits of technology

[0010]The compositions according to the invention advantageously provide high diffuse transmittance which contributes to a more natural appearance on the skin and also serves to blur fine lines and blemishes, contributing to an overall improvement in the appearance of human skin.

Problems solved by technology

It is now generally recognized that exposure to solar radiation can have adverse health consequences, sometimes not appearing until several years following exposure.
Of course, the immediately appearing sunburn from an overexposure is painful and can itself be a serious acute health problem.
It is believed that any amount of unprotected exposure can lead to future health problems, such as skin carcinomas and other dermatological disorders.
Not only are these ingredients costly, but many sunscreen products have undesirable aesthetic attributes which may limit their use.

example 1

[0051]Compositions 1-22 were prepared according to base formula of Table 1. The nylon, silica, and barium sulfate were either absent or present in the indicated amount depending on the sample, as shown in Tables 2-4. The Nylon particles were porous nylon-6 particles treated with hydrogen dimethicone (POMP 605-S101 from UBE Industries). The silica particles were spherical silica available from Kobo Products as MSS-500W. Barium sulfate particles were either “USP Barium Sulfate for Formulation” from Mallinckrodt Inc or “Blanc Fixe XR-HN” from Sachtleben Chemie GmbH.

[0052]Tables 2-4 indicate the presence (+) or absence (−) of an organic sunscreen, barium sulfate, nylon, silica, or iron oxide in each composition. When present, the amount of barium sulfate was 5 wt %, the amount of nylon was 5 wt %, the amount of silica was 2.5 wt %, and the amount of OMC was 7.5 wt %, and the amounts of homosalate and octyl salicylate were each 5 wt %. For compositions where a component was omitted, cast...

example 2

[0058]Samples #11-14 were prepared to assess the role of each of the three components (barium sulfate, nylon, and silica) in enhancing SPF of an organic sunscreen. Sample #11 contained 7.5% OMC, 0.50% silica-coated iron oxide, 5% nylon and 2.5% silica, without barium sulfate. Sample #12 contained 7.5% OMC, 0.50% silica-coated iron oxide, and 5% nylon, without silica and barium sulfate. Sample #13 contained 7.5% OMC, 0.50% silica-coated iron oxide, and 2.5% silica, without nylon and barium sulfate. Sample #14 contained 7.5% OMC, 0.50% silica-coated iron oxide, and 5% barium sulfate, without nylon and silica. Samples #11-14 were evaluated for SPF and diffuse transmittance according to the procedure above. The data is summarized below, along with sample #9 (containing all three components) for comparison.

[0060]Samples #15-22 were prepared to study the effect of the three-component system with other organic sunscreens, namely, homosalate and octyl salicylate.

[0061]Octyl salicylate (5%) or homosalate (5%), were added with or without OMC to the samples with or without nylon, silica, and barium sulfate. Comparing sample #15 to #16, #17 to #18, #19 to #20, and #21 to #22, the in vitro SPF is higher in all samples containing nylon, silica, and barium sulfate vs. their respective controls without the three components, indicating that the combination boosts SPF of other organic sunscreens.

Abstract

Compositions comprising an organic sunscreen in combination with (i) nylon particles, (ii) silica particles, and (iii) barium sulfate particles provide an improvement in SPF as compared to an otherwise identical composition lacking any one of the three ingredients (i)-(iii). The compositions advantageously provide high diffuse transmittance, giving a natural look to the skin.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The invention relates generally to compositions and methods for protecting human integuments against damage from ultraviolet (UV) rays. More specifically, the invention relates to the use of a composition that boosts the sun protection factor (SPF) of an organic sunscreen.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]It is now generally recognized that exposure to solar radiation can have adverse health consequences, sometimes not appearing until several years following exposure. Of course, the immediately appearing sunburn from an overexposure is painful and can itself be a serious acute health problem.[0003]Products are available to reduce the amount of solar UV radiation received by the skin during exposure to the sun's rays. Typical product formulations are lotions, sprays, creams, ointments, or gels containing chemical and / or physical barriers to ultraviolet transmission. These vary considerably in their abilities to protect the skin against the physical and biochemi...
