Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a natural additive composition which is able to replace silicones in a wide variety of applications, preferably in the field of cosmetics, pet grooming, skin care. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the last decades, the cosmetic industry has rapidly developed, due to the use of a synthetic component, usually called silicone, in the vast majority of formulations.

[0003] Among the classification of silicones, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), also known as dimethicone or dimethyl silicone oil, is a very useful silicone polymer due to its unique rheological properties, light weight, inertness, non-toxicity and non-flammability, which exists in the form of a silicone oil.

[0004] The applications of polydimethylsiloxane are varied, and can be used in contact lenses, medical devices, elastomers, cosmetics usually as shampoos (as polydimethylsiloxane makes the hair brighter and smoother), moisturizers, food (as an antifoaming agent), for caulking, lubricants, or even for heat-resistant tiles or molds.

[0005] PDMS is manufactured in a variety of degrees of polymerization, and can be in the form of a thin, flowable liquid to a thick, rubbery semi-solid.

[0006] PDMS has flexibility and viscoelasticity, providing good sensory properties to the skin and hair in cosmetic applications.

[0007] Another component in the classification of silicones is cyclomethicone, which is cyclic, unlike the linear and non-volatile siloxane dimethyl silicone oil, and when used in the form of a methylsiloxane, cyclomethicone is in the form of a liquid with low viscosity and high volatility, and in addition to being a skin lubricant, it can even be used as a cleaning solvent.

[0008] A polysiloxane is a polymer that includes any synthetic compound composed of siloxane repeat units, which are chains of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms with carbon, hydrogen, and sometimes other elements bonded to them. Polysiloxanes are usually heat-resistant liquids or rubbers, and are used in sealants, adhesives, lubricants, pharmaceuticals, kitchen utensils, and thermal and electrical insulation. Some common forms include silicone oil, silicone grease, silicone rubber, silicone resin, and silicone gum.

[0009] In 2008, the total demand for silicones was close to $12.5 billion, an increase of about 4% from the previous year. In the following years, silicones maintained similar growth, reaching $13.5 billion in 2010. The annual growth was driven by broader applications, the introduction of new products, and the push for more environmentally friendly materials.

[0010] World leading silicone material manufacturers are affiliated with three regional organizations: the Center for European Silicones (CES) located in Brussels, Belgium; the Society for Environmental Health and Safety (SEHSC) located in Herndon, Virginia, USA; and the Society of Industrial and Applied Chemistry, Japan (SIAJ) located in Tokyo, Japan. Dow Corning Silicones, Evonik Industries, Momentive Performance Materials, Milliken and Company (SiVance Specialty Silicones), Shin-Etsu Silicones, Wacker Chemie, Bluer Silicones, JNC Corporation, Wacker Asahikasei Silicone, and Dow Corning Toray represent the collective membership of these organizations. A fourth organization is the Global Silicone Council (GSC) that forms a umbrella structure with the regional organizations. All four organizations are non-profit organizations with no commercial role; their primary mission is to promote silicone safety from a health, safety, and environmental perspective. As the European chemical industry is preparing for the implementation of the basic regulation for Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), the CES will lead the formation of a consortium of silicone, silane, and siloxane manufacturers and importers to facilitate the sharing of data and reduce costs.

[0011] Other studies indicate that silicone compounds diffuse into the environment. The cyclic siloxanes D4 and D5, which are specific silicone compounds, are air and water pollutants and have negative effects on the health of animals tested. Cyclic siloxanes D4 and D5 are used in a variety of personal care products. The European Chemicals Agency considers "D4 to be a Persistent Bioaccumulative Toxic (PBT) substance and D5 to be a Very Persistent Very Bioaccumulative (vPvB) substance." Other silicones are readily biodegradable in processes accelerated by a variety of catalysts including clays. In the process of mammalian biodegradation, cyclic silicones are involved in the production of silanol. The resulting silanediols and silanetriols are capable of inhibiting hydrolytic enzymes such as thermolysin, acetylcholinesterase, however, the amount required for inhibition is several orders of magnitude higher than the amount produced by cumulative exposure to cyclic methyl silicone containing consumer products.

[0012] It has been studied that PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) releases trace amounts of formaldehyde (less than other common materials such as polyethylene) in an oxygen-containing atmosphere at about 200°C. It has been proven that at 200°C, silicones produce less formaldehyde than mineral oil and plastics (less than 3 μg CH2O / (g.h) to 48 μg CH2O / (g.h) for high-consistency silicone rubber, while plastics and mineral oil are about 400 μg CH2O / (g.h)). At about 250°C, all silicones produce a large amount of formaldehyde (1200 μg CH2O / (g.h) to 4,600 μg CH2O / (g.h)). It is considered that these formaldehyde emissions will become a problem for our environment.

[0013] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a synthetic compound as a substitute for silicone, which has low biodegradability in the environment and does not generate a continuous emission to the earth.

[0014] These considerations are some of the research that have been questioned worldwide today, and they are also the reason that led the applicant to achieve this important progress. The product according to the present invention is natural and the earth can produce its raw materials on a large scale. The product according to the present invention employs monosaccharides, or polysaccharides, or their derivatives as main raw materials.

[0015] The person skilled in the art has sought to find a substitute for silicone. The published document US2005 / 0260150 describes low-viscosity esters that can be used as a substitute for low-viscosity silicone fluids. The published document US2004 / 0241200 describes mixtures of certain synthetic esters with volatile hydrocarbons for replacing volatile tetramers and cyclic methylsiloxane pentamers. The published document US2009 / 0123398 describes mixtures of hydrocarbon fluids for replacing volatile tetramers and cyclic methylsiloxane pentamers.

[0016] The document EP3360600 relates to a natural silicone substitute for silicone fluids in personal formulations, said formulations comprising a mixture of at least one polymeric ester and at least one non-polymeric ester. The polymeric ester is the esterification product of (i) at least one first dicarboxylic acid, (ii) at least one first monofunctional alcohol or monofunctional carboxylic acid, and (iii) glycerol or a derivative thereof. The non-polymeric ester is the esterification product of (i) at least one second dicarboxylic acid and (ii) at least one second monofunctional alcohol.

[0017] However, none of these inventions solves the main problem: a composition capable of replacing silicones in the most varied applications. It is estimated that this emerging industry will maintain strong growth, therefore the Applicant has developed a natural and biodegradable product, of vegetable origin, which does not pose problems to human or animal health or to the environment, which can be considered a significant innovation.
