Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a cosmetic or pharmaceutical (preferably dermatological) composition comprising or consisting of a liquid lipophilic component and an effective amount of 1,2-heptanediol and / or 2,3-heptanediol or an effective amount of a specific alkyldiol or a mixture of two or more different specific alkyldiols, and the use of said composition as a cosmetic, for personal care, as a pharmaceutical, or for animal care. Furthermore, this invention relates to the use of 1,2-heptanediol and / or 2,3-heptanediol for improving the sensory properties (i.e., skin feel) of a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition when applied topically or as a silicone substitute, or the use of a specific alkyldiol for improving the sensory properties (i.e., skin feel) of a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition when applied topically or as a silicone substitute, or the use of a mixture of two or more different specific alkyldiols for improving the sensory properties (i.e., skin feel) of a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition when applied topically or as a silicone substitute. Background Technology

[0002] Besides water, silicones and liquid lipophilic components (such as plant oils, hydrocarbons, fatty alcohols, fatty acid esters, and UV filters) are among the most important basic ingredients in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, and are frequently used in various external applications. They can be used directly in skin care, hair care, or body care compositions, or as basic substances in the manufacture of cosmetic or pharmaceutical products. Creams, body lotions, serums, makeup, exfoliants, shower gels, and shampoos may all contain these components to varying degrees. However, liquid lipophilic components can cause a sticky feel and poor absorption when applied to the skin, leading to discomfort.

[0003] Of particular interest are silicones, polymers with unique properties that offer numerous benefits in all aspects of cosmetic formulation. In the cosmetics field, their hydrophobic and conditioning properties are primarily utilized. Volatile and liquid polysiloxanes exist that facilitate application in cosmetic products, while high-molecular-weight and even waxy representatives remain on the skin's surface. The hydrophobic effect of skincare products, along with the simultaneous soft and smooth feel, is highly desirable. Smoothing (smoothing, soothing) and adhesive properties are used in cleansing products and body lotions, for example, to restore the skin's oiliness. The noticeable pleasant sensation on the skin subjectively mimics a skin restoration that may not objectively exist. They also have wide applications in shampoos and hair care products. Dimethyl silicone oil can be used in cosmetic production to improve cosmetic performance. Silicone oil has low surface tension and viscosity and can influence other components in cosmetics, making these components easily dispersed into a thin film on the skin, thus avoiding a sticky feeling.

[0004] Despite their advantageous properties, silicones pose significant environmental risks. These molecules are chemically inert and highly stable, which leads to problems with their biodegradability. Their main drawback is that they are virtually non-biodegradable, thus causing substantial environmental pollution.

[0005] Furthermore, consumers increasingly desire natural and renewable (i.e., sustainable) ingredients in compositions suitable for a wide range of industries, including cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, and particularly personal care compositions. Therefore, there is a desire to develop alternatives and find more human-centered combinations of chemical components derived from sustainable and renewable resources.

[0006] Therefore, there is a trend to replace silicone components in cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions with other components, such as fats, oils or other lipids.

[0007] However, such compositions or formulations often exhibit unpleasant sensory properties when applied to the skin, such as an oily, slippery feel, giving the skin an unwanted shine, and making the composition sticky. Furthermore, they are often poorly absorbed or cause discomfort to the absorbed product when applied to the skin.

[0008] Even though texturers based on polyamide, nylon, silica, polymethyl methacrylate, or starch that claim to substantially improve the sensory properties of local compositions are known, these texturers are typically used in high amounts, such as 8% by weight or more.

[0009] WO 2014 / 184228 discloses a topical composition comprising natural organic oil, characterized in that the composition further comprises porous polymethyl methacrylate beads having a certain particle size and an oil absorption capacity ranging from 1.2 to 2.5 cc / g, in a content ranging from 0.1 to 5 wt%.

[0010] However, the current focus on "natural" cosmetics has led cosmetic chemists to turn their attention back to improved versions of classic ingredients or natural and renewable ingredients (i.e., sustainable ingredients).

[0011] Therefore, there remains a pressing need to further improve the complex sensory properties of topical compositions containing liquid lipophilic components to meet the demanding expectations of some end consumers. The cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries have been searching for ingredients that can mitigate this negative aspect.

[0012] When searching for agents to improve the sensory properties of topical compositions containing liquid lipophilic components, it is essential to take into account that the substance must be toxicologically acceptable, well-tolerated by the skin, stable (especially toxicologically acceptable, well-tolerated by the skin, and stable in conventional cosmetic and / or pharmaceutical formulations), substantially and preferably odorless, and inexpensive to prepare (i.e., using standard methods and / or starting from standard precursors).

[0013] However, on the one hand, there is no clear or predictable subordinate relationship between the chemical structure of a substance and its activity on a specific liquid lipophilic component; on the other hand, this makes it more difficult to find suitable substances.

[0014] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition that has an improved skin feel when applied topically, the composition comprising or consisting of a liquid lipophilic component. In particular, the object of the present invention is to improve dispersion behavior and / or reduce greasiness / slippery feeling and / or improve skin absorption.

[0015] Another object of the present invention is to provide a substance that improves the complex sensory properties of a local composition comprising a liquid lipophilic component.

[0016] Surprisingly, it has been found that adding an effective amount of defined 1,2-heptanediol or 2,3-heptanediol or a mixture of 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-heptanediol or a specific alkanediol or a mixture of two or more different specific alkanediols to a topical composition containing a liquid lipophilic component not only significantly improves short-term sensory performance but also significantly improves long-term sensory performance.

[0025] The invention is specified in the appended claims. However, the invention itself, its preferred variations, other objects and advantages will also be apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the appended embodiments and figures.

[0026] In a first aspect, the present invention relates to a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition comprising or consisting of the following substances: (a1)1,2-Heptanediol; (b1) at least one liquid lipophilic component; and (c1) Optional at least one cosmetic or pharmaceutical active substance and / or additive.

[0027] Alternatively, in a first aspect, the present invention relates to a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition comprising or consisting of the following substances: (a2)2,3-Heptanediol; (b2) at least one liquid lipophilic component; and (c2) Optional at least one cosmetic or pharmaceutical active substance and / or additive.

[0028] Alternatively, in a first aspect, the present invention relates to a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition comprising or consisting of the following substances: (a3) A mixture comprising 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-heptanediol; (b3) at least one liquid lipophilic component; and (c3) Optional at least one cosmetic or pharmaceutical active substance and / or additive.

[0029] In a second aspect, the present invention relates to a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition comprising or consisting of the following substances: (a) at least one straight-chain alkanediol having a carbon chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms or a mixture of at least one first straight-chain alkanediol having a carbon chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms and one or more second straight-chain alkanediols having a carbon chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms that are different from the first straight-chain alkanediol. (b) at least one liquid lipophilic component; and (c) Optional at least one cosmetic or pharmaceutical active substance and / or additive.

[0030] In a preferred variant of the second aspect, the present invention relates to a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition comprising or consisting of the following substances: (a') A mixture comprising at least one first straight-chain alkyldiol having a carbon chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms and one or more second straight-chain alkyldiols having a carbon chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms, wherein the first alkyldiol and the second alkyldiol have the same or different number of carbon atoms; (b') at least one liquid lipophilic component; and (c') Optional at least one cosmetic or pharmaceutical active substance and / or additive.

[0031] The term "comprising" means that the specified component is required, but other components may be added and are still covered by this invention.

[0032] The term “composed of” as used in this invention means that, based on the total weight of the cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition, the total amount of components (a) to (c) adds up to 100% by weight, and implies that the subject matter is closed and can only include the expressly stated limitations.

[0033] When “contains” is used, it is intended to cover two meanings as alternatives: that is, it can mean “contains” or “consisting of”, unless the context otherwise specifies.

[0034] The term "at least one liquid lipophilic component" means that a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition according to the present invention may contain one liquid lipophilic component or a mixture of two, three, four, five, six or even more different liquid lipophilic components.

[0035] The term “optionally” means that the compound described below may, but is not required to, be present in the composition, and the description includes variants that include the compound or variants that do not include the compound.

[0036] In the context of this invention, the term "sensory performance" is defined as the degree of acceptance of the subject sensory attributes of a cosmetic or pharmaceutical product by a consumer who is a frequent user of the product category. The most important characteristics used to characterize the sensory performance of a cosmetic or pharmaceutical formulation are the following parameters: "dispersion" or "dispersibility," "oily / slippery feel," and "absorption (residue)." Dispersion refers to the ease with which a product disperses on the skin. It is typically an important characteristic of ointments, creams, lotions, and dispersions. The parameter "oily / slippery feel" is the property of whether the skin feels oily or slippery when applying the cosmetic or pharmaceutical formulation. Absorption refers to whether the cosmetic or pharmaceutical formulation has skin permeability, or whether it leaves residue on the skin upon application, causing discomfort. Improvement in sensory performance can be applied if at least one of the above three parameters is improved. However, it is beneficial if at least two or even three of the above three parameters are improved.

[0037] Alkanediols are diols, which are any type of organic compound belonging to the alcohol family; in a diol molecule, two hydroxyl groups (-OH) are attached to different carbon atoms of the carbon chain.

[0038] Component (a) in a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition according to the first aspect of the present invention is 1,2-heptanediol (a1) or 2,3-heptanediol (a2), or a mixture comprising two heptanediols, namely 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-heptanediol (a3).

[0039] 1,2-Heptanediol belongs to the alkyldiol class and is a straight-chain alkyldiol with the following general formula: , It has a carbon chain containing 7 carbon atoms, and the two OH functional groups of the alkanediol are located at the α and β positions and are chemically bonded to the C1 and C2 carbon atoms in the alkanediol chain.

[0040] 2,3-Heptanediol belongs to the alkyldiol class and is a straight-chain alkyldiol with the following general formula: , It has a carbon chain containing 7 carbon atoms, and the two OH functional groups of the alkanediol are located at the β and γ positions and are chemically bonded to the C2 and C3 carbon atoms in the alkanediol chain.

[0041] Linear-chain 1,2-alkyldiols have been used as multifunctional active substances for over 15 years. Short-chain 1,2-alkyldiols are amphiphilic compounds and, therefore, like 1,2-pentanediol and 1,2-hexanediol, are soluble in both water and cosmetic oils. In contrast, 1,2-octanediol is a solid and tends to precipitate or recrystallize in oily solutions. On the other hand, 1,2-decanediol is a solid and is soluble only in cosmetic oils. Besides moisturizing, some 1,2-alkyldiols are used as viscosity modifiers.

[0042] As in Example 1 and Figure 1 As shown, 1,2-heptadecyl glycol exhibits better solubility in sunflower oil than 1,2-pentanediol and 1,2-hexanediol, both well-known cosmetic ingredients. Conversely, 1,2-octanediol tends to precipitate or recrystallize in sunflower oil. Due to the excellent solubility of 1,2-heptadecyl glycol in lipid phases (such as natural oils), it can be advantageous to provide 1,2-heptadecyl glycol at high concentrations in compositions containing lipophilic components according to the first aspect of the invention. This further enhances the availability of 1,2-heptadecyl glycol and its advantageous role in the composition.

[0043] Furthermore, 1,2-heptahydrol is stable in compositions containing lipophilic components due to its excellent solubility in lipid phases (such as oils), which is an important factor in the shelf life of compositions containing lipophilic components (i.e., any consumer formulations) according to the present invention.

[0044] On the other hand, 2,3-heptanediol is a liquid. Due to its excellent solubility in lipid phases (such as natural oils), it can be advantageous to provide 2,3-heptanediol at a high concentration in compositions containing lipophilic components according to the first aspect of the invention. This further enhances the availability of 2,3-heptanediol and its advantageous role in the composition.

[0045] In a first alternative, component (a) in a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition according to the second aspect of the invention is at least one straight-chain alkanediol having a carbon chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms.

[0046] Furthermore, in a second alternative to this second aspect, component (a) may comprise a combination of a first straight-chain alkyldiol having a carbon chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms and a second straight-chain alkyldiol having a carbon chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms. Therefore, the invention also defines mixtures comprising the first and second alkyldiols described herein.

[0047] Because the first straight-chain alkanediol of the present invention can be selected from the same list and type of straight-chain alkanediols as the first alternative according to the second aspect, straight-chain alkanediols are generally referred to below, and the straight-chain alkanediol can also be the first straight-chain alkanediol. In a mixture of the first straight-chain alkanediol and the second straight-chain alkanediol, if these alkanediols are specifically different, the specific terms "first" and "second" will be used to distinguish the two alkanediol components.

[0048] As used herein, the phrase "at least one straight-chain alkanediol" or "at least one first straight-chain alkanediol" means that the composition may contain one straight-chain alkanediol having a carbon chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms or one first straight-chain alkanediol having a carbon chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms or more than one straight-chain alkanediol or more than one first straight-chain alkanediol having a carbon chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms, that is, it may contain two, three, four or more different straight-chain alkanediols or first straight-chain alkanediols having a carbon chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms.

[0049] A straight-chain alkanediol or first straight-chain alkanediol consists of a chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms linked together by a single covalent bond, wherein two OH functional groups are attached to two different carbon atoms in the chain.

[0050] In the cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition according to the second aspect of the invention, at least one straight-chain alkyldiol or at least one first straight-chain alkyldiol having a carbon chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms is preferably selected from the group consisting of: pentanediol, hexanediol, heptanediol, octanediol, nonanediol, decanediol, undecanediol, dodecanediol, tridecanediol, and tetradecanediol.

[0051] In a preferred variant, at least one straight-chain alkyldiol or at least one first straight-chain alkyldiol is selected from the group consisting of: pentanediol, hexanediol, heptanediol, octanediol, nonanediol, decanediol, undecanediol, dodecanediol, and tridecanediol.

[0052] In a more preferred variant, at least one straight-chain alkanediol or at least one first straight-chain alkanediol is selected from the group consisting of alkanediols with an odd number of carbon atoms from 5 to 13, namely pentanediol, heptanediol, nonanediol, undecanediol, tridecanediol and mixtures thereof.

[0053] In a still more preferred variant, at least one straight-chain alkyldiol or at least one first straight-chain alkyldiol is selected from the group consisting of alkyldiols with an odd number of carbon atoms of 7, 9, 11 and 13, namely heptanediol, nonanediol, undecanediol and tridecanediol, or selected from the group consisting of alkyldiols with an odd number of carbon atoms of 9 and 11, namely nonanediol and undecanediol, or selected from the group consisting of alkyldiols with an odd number of carbon atoms of 9 and 13, namely nonanediol and tridecanediol, or selected from the group consisting of alkyldiols with an odd number of carbon atoms of 11 and 13, namely undecanediol and tridecanediol.

[0054] In a still more preferred variant, at least one straight-chain alkyldiol or at least one first straight-chain alkyldiol is pentanediol, hexanediol, heptahydrate, or octanediol.

[0055] In a most preferred variant, at least one straight-chain alkanediol or at least the first straight-chain alkanediol is heptanediol.

[0056] In an alternative embodiment, the cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition according to the second aspect of the invention comprises a mixture containing at least one first straight-chain alkyldiol having a carbon chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms and one or more second straight-chain alkyldiols having a carbon chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms that are different from the first straight-chain alkyldiol.

[0057] This refers to a mixture of straight-chain alkyldiols comprising at least one first straight-chain alkyldiol having a carbon chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms and one or more (i.e., two, three, four, or more) second straight-chain alkyldiols having carbon chains of 5 to 14 carbon atoms. In this alternative, the first straight-chain alkyldiol can be any of the alkyldiols described herein generally in relation to straight-chain alkyldiols, and particularly in relation to the second aspect of the first alternative.

[0058] For example, the mixture may include a first straight-chain alkyldiol and one, two, three or more second straight-chain alkyldiols; or the mixture may include two first straight-chain alkyldiols and one, two, three or more second straight-chain alkyldiols, etc., provided that in each mixture, the first straight-chain alkyldiol and the second straight-chain alkyldiol are different from each other.

[0059] The phrase “different from each other” means that the first straight-chain alkanediol and the second straight-chain alkanediol in the mixture are different in terms of their carbon chain length (i.e., number of carbon atoms) and / or in terms of their structural isomerism or their stereoisomerism.

[0060] Similarly, the first and second straight-chain alkyldiols in a mixture can have the same number of carbon atoms. For example, the first and second straight-chain alkyldiols may have carbon chains with 7 carbon atoms, but they are different in terms of their structural isomerism or their stereoisomerism.

[0061] The second straight-chain alkanediol preferably consists of a chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms linked together by a single covalent bond, wherein two OH functional groups are attached to two different carbon atoms in the chain.

[0062] According to the second aspect of the invention, at least one second straight-chain alkyldiol having a carbon chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms in a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition is selected from the group consisting of: pentanediol, hexanediol, heptahydrate, octanediol, nonanediol, decanediol, undecanediol, dodecanediol, tridecanediol, and tetradecanediol.

[0063] In a preferred variant, at least one second straight-chain alkyldiol is selected from the group consisting of: pentanediol, hexanediol, heptanediol, octanediol, nonanediol, decanediol, undecanediol, dodecanediol, and tridecanediol. For example, if both the first and second alkyldiols are heptanediols, then the heptanediol of the second straight-chain alkyldiol is a structural or stereoisomer different from that of the first straight-chain alkyldiol.

[0064] In a more preferred variant, at least one second straight-chain alkyldiol is selected from the group consisting of: pentanediol, hexanediol, heptanediol, octanediol, and nonanediol, with heptanediol, octanediol, and nonanediol being the most preferred.

[0065] In the context of this invention, the term "alkanediol" also includes its structural isomers or positional isomers. Structural isomers are compounds having the same molecular formula but different linkages. Positional isomers, as a special form of structural isomers, can be considered as being distinguished only by the position of the functional groups in the parent structure, which in this example is the position of the two alcohol functions.

[0066] Based on the number of carbon atoms in the alkanediol carbon chain, there are various positional isomers of alkanediols: (x,x+1) structural isomers; (x,x+2) structural isomers; (x,x+3) structural isomers; and so on, as well as α,ω structural isomers where the alcohol function is at the end of the carbon chain, where x represents the carbon atom number in the alkanediol chain that is chemically bonded to the OH group of the alkanediol. For example: if x is 1, then the two OH groups of the alkanediol are chemically bonded to the C1 and C2 carbon atoms in the alkanediol chain; if x is 2, then the two OH groups of the alkanediol are chemically bonded to the C2 and C3 carbon atoms in the alkanediol chain, and so on.

[0067] In the (x,x+1) isomer, the two hydroxyl functional groups are adjacent to two distinct carbon atoms in the chain. In the (x,x+2) isomer, the two hydroxyl functional groups are attached to two distinct carbon atoms in the chain, separated by a single carbon atom. In the (x,x+3) isomer, the two hydroxyl functional groups are attached to two distinct carbon atoms in the chain, separated by a single carbon atom. In the α,ω isomer, the two functional groups are attached to the first carbon atom and the terminal carbon atom.

[0068] In a preferred variant of the cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition according to the second aspect of the invention, the straight-chain alkanediol having a carbon chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms is preferably an ortho-(x,x+1)diol, selected from the group consisting of 1,2-diol, 2,3-diol, 3,4-diol, 4,5-diol, other (x,x+1)diols or mixtures thereof, preferably an α,β1,2 structural isomer.

[0069] In a preferred variant of the cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition according to the second aspect of the invention, the first straight-chain alkanediol and / or the second straight-chain alkanediol having a carbon chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms are vicinal (x,x+1) diols selected from the group consisting of 1,2-diol, 2,3-diol, 3,4-diol, 4,5-diol, other (x,x+1) diols or mixtures thereof, preferably α,β1,2 structural isomers.

[0070] In a further preferred variant of the cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition according to the second aspect of the invention, the straight-chain alkanediol having a carbon chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms is preferably a non-ortho-(x,x+2)diol, selected from the group consisting of 1,3-diol, 2,4-diol, 3,5-diol, other (x,x+2)diols or mixtures thereof, preferably an α,γ 1,3 structural isomer.

[0071] In a preferred variant of the cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition according to the second aspect of the invention, the first straight-chain alkanediol and / or the second straight-chain alkanediol having carbon chains of 5 to 14 carbon atoms are non-ortho-(x,x+2)diols selected from the group consisting of 1,3-diol, 2,4-diol, 3,5-diol, 4,6-diol, other (x,x+2)diols or mixtures thereof, preferably α,γ 1,3-structural isomers.

[0072] In a further preferred variant of the cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition according to the second aspect of the invention, the straight-chain alkanediol having a carbon chain of 5 to 14 carbon atoms is preferably a non-ortho-(x,x+3)diol, selected from the group consisting of 1,4-diol, 2,5-diol, other (x,x+3)diols or mixtures thereof, preferably an α,δ1,4 structural isomer.

[0073] In a preferred variant of the cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition according to the second aspect of the invention, the first straight-chain alkyldiol and / or the second straight-chain alkyldiol having carbon chains of 5 to 14 carbon atoms are non-ortho-(x,x+3)diols selected from the group consisting of 1,4-diols, 2,5-diols, other (x,x+3)-diols or mixtures thereof, preferably α,δ1,4 structural isomers.

[0074] In a preferred variant of the cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition according to the second aspect of the invention, the straight-chain alkyldiol or the first straight-chain alkyldiol and / or the second straight-chain alkyldiol is preferably α,ω alkyldiol, more preferably 1,7-heptanediol or 1,8-octanediol.

[0102] In a more preferred variant of the cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition according to the second aspect of the invention, the second straight-chain alkyldiol is selected from the group consisting of: 1,2-Pentanediol, 2,3-Pentanediol, 3,4-Pentanediol, 1,2-Hexanediol, 2,3-Hexanediol, 3,4-Hexanediol, 1,2-Heptanediol, 2,3-Heptanediol, 3,4-Heptanediol, 1,2-Octanediol, 2,3-Octanediol, 3,4-Octanediol, 1,2-Nonadiol, 2,3-Nonadiol, 3,4-Nonadiol and mixtures thereof.

[0103] In the cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition according to the second aspect of the invention, the second straight-chain alkyldiol is more preferably selected from the group consisting of 1,2-pentanediol, 2,3-pentanediol, 3,4-pentanediol, and mixtures thereof. However, the second straight-chain alkyldiol may also preferably be selected from the group consisting of 1,2-hexanediol, 2,3-hexanediol, 3,4-hexanediol, and mixtures thereof, or may also preferably be selected from the group consisting of 1,2-heptanediol, 2,3-heptanediol, 3,4-heptanediol, and mixtures thereof.

[0104] In cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions according to the second aspect of the invention, the second straight-chain alkyldiol is even more preferably an α,β, or β,γ diol, such as 1,2-pentanediol, 2,3-pentanediol, or a mixture thereof. However, the second straight-chain alkyldiol may also preferably be 1,2-hexanediol or 2,3-hexanediol, or a mixture thereof. It may also be a mixture comprising 1,2-pentanediol and 2,3-hexanediol, or a mixture comprising 2,3-pentanediol and 1,2-hexanediol.

[0105] The most preferred second straight-chain alkyldiol is 1,2-pentanediol or 2,3-pentanediol or 1,2-hexanediol or 2,3-hexanediol or 1,2-heptanediol or 2,3-heptanediol or 2,3-octanediol or 2,3-nonanediol.

[0106] In a particularly preferred variant, the cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition according to the second aspect of the invention comprises a mixture of homoalkylene glycols, or a combination comprising at least one first straight-chain alkylene glycol and one or more second straight-chain alkylene glycols, including any of the following mixtures / combinations: ▪ A mixture containing 1,2-pentanediol and 2,3-pentanediol; ▪ A mixture containing 1,2-hexanediol and 2,3-hexanediol; ▪ A mixture containing 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-heptanediol; ▪ A mixture containing 1,2-octanediol and 2,3-octanediol; ▪ A mixture containing 1,2-nonanediol and 2,3-nonanediol; ▪ A mixture containing 1,2-decanediol and 2,3-decanediol; ▪ A mixture containing 1,2-undecanediol and 2,3-undecanediol; ▪ A mixture containing 1,2-dodecanediol and 2,3-dodecanediol; or ▪ A mixture containing 1,2-tetranediol and 2,3-tetranediol.

[0107] In the homoalkyldiol mixture, at least the first straight-chain alkyldiol and one or more second straight-chain alkyldiols have the same number of carbon atoms.

[0108] Particularly advantageous are mixtures comprising combinations of 1,2-heptanediol with 2,3-heptanediol and / or 3,4-heptanediol, or mixtures comprising combinations of 1,2-octanediol with 2,3-octanediol and / or 3,4-octanediol.

[0109] The above-specified homoalkyldiol mixtures according to the second aspect of the invention, comprising 1,2-alkyldiol and 2,3-alkyldiol having the same number of carbon atoms, are characterized in that they improve at least two parameters of the liquid lipophilic components as defined above (“dispersion”, “oily / slippery feel”, and “absorption”) compared to their respective single 1,2-alkyldiol or 2,3-alkyldiol substances, as demonstrated in the following examples.

[0110] Regarding “dispersion,” “oily / slippery feel” and “absorption” (residual residue), the effects or functions of a homogeneous mixture of 1,2-pentanediol and 2,3-pentanediol in improving the sensory properties of liquid lipophilic substances were found.

[0111] Such sensory improvements were also observed in homogeneous mixtures of 1,2-hexanediol and 2,3-hexanediol in terms of at least two of “dispersion,” “oily / slippery skin feel,” and “absorption” (residual residue).

[0112] A homogeneous mixture including 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-heptanediol is particularly beneficial because it has a particularly significant effect on improving at least two parameters of the sensory properties of liquid lipophilic components in cosmetic or pharmaceutical formulations.

[0113] Mixtures of alkyldiols containing 1,2-octanediol and 2,3-octanediol, or mixtures of alkyldiols containing 1,2-nonanediol and 2,3-nonanediol, are particularly advantageous because these mixtures effectively improve the dispersion of liquid lipophilic components in cosmetic or pharmaceutical formulations, or reduce the greasy / slippery feel of such liquid lipophilic components, and enhance their absorption.

[0114] In addition, mixtures of alkyl diols containing 1,2-decanediol and 2,3-decanediol, or mixtures of alkyl diols containing 1,2-undecanediol and 2,3-undecanediol, can help improve the dispersion of liquid lipophilic components in cosmetic or pharmaceutical formulations, reduce the greasy / slippery feel of the liquid lipophilic components, or promote the absorption of the liquid lipophilic components.

[0115] This type of skin sensation improvement also applies to mixtures of alkyl diols including 1,2-dodecanediol and 2,3-dodecanediol, or mixtures of alkyl diols including 1,2-tridecanediol and 2,3-tridecanediol.

[0116] Compared to the respective individual 1,2-alkyldiol or 2,3-alkyldiol substances, the aforementioned strengthening effect is particularly pronounced for homogeneous mixtures comprising 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-heptanediol, or homogeneous mixtures comprising 1,2-octanediol and 2,3-octanediol, or homogeneous mixtures comprising 1,2-nonanediol and 2,3-nonanediol.

[0117] The aforementioned homoalkyldiol mixtures containing 1,2-alkyldiol and the corresponding 2,3-alkyldiol can improve the overall sensory properties characterized by the parameters of "dispersion", "oily / slippery feel" and "absorption" (residual residue) of the liquid lipophilic component, which makes its application in final formulations such as cosmetics or pharmaceutical preparations pleasant.

[0118] Furthermore, by mixing the corresponding liquid 2,3-alkyldiol with solid 1,2-alkyldiol, solid 1,2-alkyldiols (such as 1,2-octanediol, 1,2-nonanediol, etc.) that tend to precipitate or recrystallize in oily solutions alone can be dissolved, thus producing liquid alkyldiol mixtures. The 2,3-alkyldiol acts as a solvent for the solid 1,2-alkyldiol. Such liquid mixtures offer the following advantages: firstly, they improve the usability of solid 1,2-alkyldiols in the mixture; secondly, they facilitate the incorporation of solid 1,2-alkyldiols into semi-finished or final products.

[0119] The availability of 1,2-octanediol or 1,2-nonanediol in end use can also be improved by utilizing the dissolution of solid 1,2-octanediol in liquid 2,3-octanediol or solid 1,2-nonanediol in liquid 2,3-nonanediol.

[0120] Furthermore, the aforementioned mixture of pyromellitic diols comprising 1,2-alkyldiol and the corresponding 2,3-alkyldiol enables the cold preparation of cosmetic or pharmaceutical formulations, i.e., without the need for heating during preparation. Therefore, by utilizing the aforementioned properties of a specified mixture of alkyldiols comprising 1,2-alkyldiol and the corresponding 2,3-alkyldiol, the processability of the formulation can be improved.

[0121] Therefore, when active mixtures are combined in this manner, a good trade-off can be achieved, namely, improved sensory effects while improving the processability of the formulation. The aforementioned combinations of 1,2-alkyldiols and their corresponding 2,3-alkyldiols resolve this balance issue compared to individual 1,2-alkyldiols or 2,3-alkyldiols. Combinations such as those containing 1,2-pentanediol and 2,3-pentanediol, and those containing 1,2-hexanediol and 2,3-hexanediol, achieve this well. Combinations such as those containing 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-heptanediol, and those containing 1,2-octanediol and 2,3-octanediol also exhibit this effect. The same is true for combinations of 1,2-nonanediol and 2,3-nonanediol, and 1,2-decanediol and 2,3-decanediol.

[0122] The aforementioned homoalkyldiol mixtures containing 1,2-alkyldiol and the corresponding 2,3-alkyldiol exhibit remarkable activity in improving the sensory properties of liquid lipophilic components, and are superior to the respective 1,2-alkyldiol or 2,3-alkyldiol alone at the same concentration.

[0123] Therefore, in a particularly preferred variant, a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition according to the second aspect of the invention comprising at least one first straight-chain alkyldiol and a mixture or combination of one or more second straight-chain alkyldiols includes any one of the following combinations: ▪ A combination of 1,2-pentanediol with one of 1,2-hexanediol, 1,2-heptanediol, 1,2-octanediol, 1,2-nonanediol, 1,2-decanediol, 1,2-undecanediol, 1,2-dodecanediol or 1,2-tridecanediol; ▪ A combination of 1,2-hexanediol with one of 1,2-pentanediol, 1,2-heptanediol, 1,2-octanediol, 1,2-nonanediol, 1,2-decanediol, 1,2-undecanediol, 1,2-dodecanediol or 1,2-tridecanediol; ▪ A combination of 1,2-heptanediol with one of 1,2-pentanediol, 1,2-hexanediol, 1,2-octanediol, 1,2-nonanediol, 1,2-decanediol, 1,2-undecanediol, 1,2-dodecanediol or 1,2-tridecanediol;

[0128] Particularly advantageous are mixtures or combinations of 2,3-hexanediol and 2,3-heptanediol, or mixtures of 2,3-hexanediol and 2,3-octanediol, or mixtures of 2,3-heptanediol and 2,3-octanediol.

[0129] In the mixture of heteroalkyldiols described above, at least the first straight-chain alkyldiol and one or more second straight-chain alkyldiols have different numbers of carbon atoms.

[0130] The alkyldiol mixtures specified above according to the second aspect of the present invention, comprising a first straight-chain alkyldiol and a second straight-chain alkyldiol, are characterized in that they improve the parameters of at least two of the liquid lipophilic components as described above (“dispersion”, “oily / slippery feel”, and “absorption”) compared to their respective single 1,2-alkyldiol or 2,3-alkyldiol substances, as demonstrated in the following examples.

[0131] Of the alkyldiol mixtures or combinations of at least one first straight-chain alkyldiol and one or more second straight-chain alkyldiols specified above, it is particularly advantageous to include a mixture of heteroalkyldiols containing 1,2-hexanediol and 2,3-octanediol, or a mixture of alkyldiols containing 1,2-octanediol and 2,3-hexanediol, or a mixture of alkyldiols containing 1,2-octanediol and 2,3-heptanediol.

[0132] In terms of “dispersion,” “oily / slippery feel” and “absorption” (residual residue), these specified mixtures of heteroalkyldiols according to the second aspect of the invention improve the sensory properties of liquid lipophilic substances compared to their respective single 1,2-alkyldiol or 2,3-alkyldiol substances (i.e., 1,2-hexanediol or 1,2-octanediol or 2,3-octanediol or 2,3-hexanediol or 2,3-heptanediol).

[0133] Mixtures of hexanediols containing 1,2-hexanediol and 2,3-octanediol improve sensory properties as defined above in cosmetic or pharmaceutical formulations.

[0134] Furthermore, mixtures of heteroalkyldiols containing 1,2-alkyldiol and 2,3-alkyldiol improve at least two parameters in cosmetic or pharmaceutical formulations in terms of “dispersion”, “oily / slippery feel”, and “absorption” (residual residue) compared to their respective single 1,2-alkyldiol or 2,3-alkyldiol substances.

[0135] Improved sensory properties of liquid lipophilic substances were also observed in terms of “dispersion,” “oily / slippery feel” and “absorption” (residual residue).

[0136] The aforementioned mixture of alkyldiols can improve the overall sensory properties of liquid lipophilic substances, making the application of cosmetic or pharmaceutical formulations, including such substances, more pleasant.

[0137] Furthermore, solid 1,2-octanediol can be dissolved by mixing 2,3-hexanediol or 2,3-heptanediol with solid 1,2-octanediol, thereby producing a liquid alkanediol mixture. 2,3-Hexanediol or 2,3-heptanediol acts as a solvent for solid 1,2-octanediol. Such liquid mixtures offer the following advantages: firstly, they improve the usability of 1,2-octanediol in the mixture; secondly, they facilitate the incorporation of 1,2-octanediol into semi-finished or final products.

[0138] Furthermore, regarding “dispersion,” “oily / slippery feel,” and “absorption” (residual residue), improvements in sensory properties in cosmetic or pharmaceutical formulations have also been observed for the following specified mixtures or combinations of alkyldiols comprising at least one first straight-chain alkyldiol and one or more second straight-chain alkyldiols according to the second aspect of the invention: namely, mixtures of alkyldiols comprising 1,2-pentanediol and 2,3-hexanediol; or mixtures comprising 1,2-pentanediol and 1,2-heptanediol; or mixtures comprising 1,2-pentanediol and 2,3-heptanediol; or mixtures comprising 1,2-pentanediol and 2,3-octanediol; or mixtures comprising 1,2-pentanediol and 1,2-nonanediol; or mixtures comprising 1,2-pentanediol and 2,3-nonanediol.

[0139] The previously specified mixtures of heteroalkyldiols, including a first straight-chain alkyldiol and a second straight-chain alkyldiol, exhibited better dispersion of the liquid lipophilic component and / or reduced greasy / slippery feel of the liquid lipophilic component and / or enhanced absorption of the liquid lipophilic component. This enhancing effect is significantly superior to that of the corresponding single 1,2-alkyldiol or 2,3-alkyldiol.

[0140] Mixtures of heteroalkyl diols, including 1,2-pentanediol and 2,3-hexanediol, significantly improve the sensory properties of liquid lipophilic components in cosmetic or pharmaceutical formulations.

[0141] In addition, mixtures of heteroalkyldiols containing 1,2-pentanediol and 1,2-heptanediol improve parameters (“dispersion”, “oily / slippery feel” and / or “absorption” (residual residue)) of liquid lipophilic components in at least two cosmetic or pharmaceutical formulations.

[0142] The effect of such alkyl diol mixtures containing 1,2-pentanediol and 2,3-heptanediol on improving the sensory properties of liquid lipophilic components can also be observed.

[0143] Alkanediol mixtures containing 1,2-pentanediol and 2,3-octanediol can also improve dispersion, oily / slippery feel, or absorption.

[0144] Alkanediol mixtures containing 1,2-pentanediol and 1,2-nonanediol also exhibited the above-mentioned effects.

[0145] Alkanediol mixtures, including 1,2-pentanediol and 2,3-nonanediol, also effectively improve the sensory properties of liquid lipophilic components.

[0146] Improved sensory properties of liquid lipophilic components make the application of cosmetic or pharmaceutical formulations containing such substances more pleasant.

[0147] Furthermore, for mixtures comprising at least one first straight-chain alkyldiol and one or more second straight-chain alkyldiols according to the second aspect of the invention, the sensory performance improvement described above can also be observed, specifically for mixtures of alkyldiols comprising 1,2-heptanediol and 1,2-octanediol, or mixtures of alkyldiols comprising 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-octanediol, or mixtures of alkyldiols comprising 1,2-heptanediol and 1,2-nonanediol, or mixtures or combinations of alkyldiols comprising 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-nonanediol.

[0148] In particular, mixtures of hexaalkyldiols, including 1,2-heptanediol and 1,2-octanediol, significantly improve the sensory properties of liquid lipophilic components when applied to the skin, namely, improved dispersion, reduced oily or greasy / slippery feel, giving the skin an unwanted shine, and better absorption.

[0149] Furthermore, this effect is also observed in alkyldiol combinations including 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-octanediol. The same is true for alkyldiol mixtures including 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-nonanediol.

[0150] Therefore, the improved sensory properties of liquid lipophilic components make the application of cosmetic or pharmaceutical formulations containing such substances more pleasant.

[0151] In addition, mixtures of alkyldiols including 1,2-heptanediol and 1,2-nonanediol, or mixtures of alkyldiols including 1,2-heptanediol and 2,3-nonanediol, exhibit enhanced activity, namely improved parameters of at least one liquid lipophilic component in a cosmetic or pharmaceutical formulation (“dispersion”, “oily / slippery feel”, and / or “absorption” (residual residue)).

[0152] In a preferred variant of the cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition according to the second aspect of the invention, the straight-chain alkyldiol is selected from the group consisting of: 2,3-pentanediol, 2,3-hexanediol, 2,3-heptanediol, 2,3-octanediol, 2,3-nonanediol, 2,3-decanediol, 2,3-undecanediol, 2,3-dodecanediol, 2,3-tridecanediol, and mixtures thereof.

[0153] In a more preferred variant of the cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition, the straight-chain alkyldiol is selected from the group consisting of 2,3-pentanediol, 2,3-hexanediol, 2,3-heptanediol, 2,3-octanediol, 2,3-nonanediol, and mixtures thereof.

[0154] Surprisingly, the addition of 2,3-pentanediol, 2,3-hexanediol, 2,3-heptanediol, and other 2,3-alkyldiols (such as 2,3-octanediol, 2,3-nonanediol, 2,3-decanediol, 2,3-undecanediol, 2,3-dodecanediol, and 2,3-tetrazanediol) to the liquid lipophilic components as defined herein resulted in a significant improvement in at least one sensory performance parameter (“dispersion”, “oily / slippery feel”, and “absorption” (residual residue)).

[0155] Furthermore, the 2,3-alkyldiols specified above have the advantage of being liquid, thereby facilitating their incorporation into semi-finished or final products and increasing their availability in said products. Due to the excellent solubility of 2,3-alkyldiols, providing them in high concentrations in the compositions according to the invention can be advantageous. This further enhances the availability of 2,3-alkyldiols in topical formulations or compositions.

[0156] Therefore, when 2,3-alkyldiols are combined in this manner, a good trade-off can be achieved, maintaining sensory performance while improving the processability of the formulation. The 2,3-alkyldiols specified above resolve this balance issue compared to solid 1,2-alkyldiols.

[0157] In a particularly advantageous variant of the second aspect of the invention, the straight-chain alkanediol or the first alkanediol or the second alkanediol is a liquid alkanediol.

[0158] In the context of this invention, the term "liquid alkyldiol" refers to an alkyldiol component that is liquid at room temperature or ambient temperature and normal pressure (i.e., standard RTP conditions).

[0159] In a highly preferred variant of the second aspect of the invention, the straight-chain alkyldiol or the first alkyldiol or the second alkyldiol is a liquid alkyldiol selected from the group consisting of: 1,2-pentanediol, 2,3-pentanediol, 1,2-hexanediol, 2,3-hexanediol, 1,2-heptanediol, 2,3-heptanediol, 2,3-octanediol, 2,3-nonanediol, 2,3-decanediol, 2,3-undecanediol, and mixtures thereof.

[0160] Among the aforementioned liquid alkyldiols, 1,2-pentanediol, 2,3-pentanediol, 1,2-hexanediol, 2,3-hexanediol, 1,2-heptanediol, 2,3-heptanediol, 2,3-octanediol, 2,3-nonanediol, or mixtures thereof are most preferred.

[0161] In a particularly advantageous variant of the second aspect of the invention, the straight-chain alkanediol or the first or second alkanediol is characterized by a maximum water solubility of less than or equal to 10% by weight. In a preferred variant, the maximum water solubility of the straight-chain alkanediol or the first or second alkanediol is less than or equal to 10% by weight and greater than or equal to 1.2% by weight. More preferably, the maximum water solubility of the straight-chain alkanediol or the first or second straight-chain alkanediol is less than or equal to 5% by weight and greater than or equal to 1.4% by weight.

[0162] Preferably, the alkyldiol having the maximum water solubility as defined above is selected from the group consisting of 1,2-heptanediol, 2,3-heptanediol, 2,3-octanediol and mixtures thereof.

[0163] The water solubility of a substance is its saturated mass concentration in water at a given temperature. The determination of water solubility involves basic, pure substances that are stable and non-volatile in water. The determination of the water solubility of alkanediols is further described in Example 4 below.

[0164] In the context of this invention, the term "alkanediol" also includes its stereoisomers. Stereoisomers are molecules having the same molecular formula but differing only in the arrangement of their atoms in three-dimensional space.

The alkanediols used according to the invention comprise petrochemical-derived and bio-based natural and renewable feedstock-derived alkanediols. Preferably, the alkanediols are from bio-based sources and are therefore bioalkanediols.

[0198] The compound (b) of the cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition according to the first or second aspect of the present invention relates to a liquid lipophilic component, which is used in many cosmetic compositions, particularly skin care, hair care or body care, or in pharmaceutical compositions.

[0199] In the context of this invention, the term "liquid lipophilic component" refers to a lipophilic component that is liquid at room temperature or ambient temperature and normal pressure (i.e., standard RTP conditions) or at a skin temperature of 35°C to 37°C; in other words, a lipophilic component is liquid at or below 37°C.

[0200] The term "lipophilic" ("lipophilic" or "fatty") or "lipophilic" refers to the ability of a compound to dissolve in fats, oils, lipids, and nonpolar solvents such as hexane or toluene. These nonpolar solvents are themselves lipophilic. Therefore, lipophilic substances tend to dissolve in other lipophilic substances, while hydrophilic ("water-loving") substances tend to dissolve in water and other hydrophilic substances. Thus, according to the invention, a "lipophilic" component is defined as one that is significantly insoluble in water at RTP with a concentration exceeding 0.01% by weight. The water solubility of a substance is its saturated mass concentration in water at a given temperature. The determination of water solubility involves a basic, pure substance that is stable and non-volatile in water.

[0201] The liquid lipophilic component in the cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition according to the present invention encompasses components selected from the group consisting of: liquid vegetable oils, liquid hydrocarbons, liquid fatty alcohols, liquid fatty acid esters, and liquid UV filters, as well as mixtures of two or more of the aforementioned liquid oil components.

[0202] The liquid lipophilic component in the cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition according to the invention is preferably a vegetable oil, and even more preferably a liquid vegetable oil. It can also advantageously be a mixture of two or more vegetable oil components, especially a liquid vegetable oil mixture.

[0203] Vegetable oils, or vegetable oils, are oils extracted from seeds or, less commonly, from other parts of a fruit. Like animal fats, vegetable oils are mixtures of triglycerides. Soybean oil, rapeseed oil, and cocoa butter are examples of vegetable oils derived from seeds. Olive oil, palm oil, and rice bran oil are examples of oils derived from other parts of a fruit. In common usage, vegetable oil or vegetable oil may specifically refer to vegetable fats that are liquid at room temperature or at skin temperature of 35°C to 37°C. Vegetable oils are generally edible.

[0204] The term "vegetable oil" also includes unsaturated vegetable oils. Unsaturated oils, or vegetable oils, can be converted into oils with higher melting points through partial or complete "hydrogenation." The hydrogenation process involves "spraying" the oil with hydrogen gas at high temperatures and pressures in the presence of a catalyst (usually a powdered nickel compound). When each carbon-carbon double bond is chemically reduced to a single bond, two hydrogen atoms each form single bonds with two carbon atoms. Eliminating double bonds by adding hydrogen atoms is called saturation; as saturation increases, the oil progresses towards complete hydrogenation. Oils can be hydrogenated to increase their resistance to rancidity (oxidation) or to alter their physical properties.

[0211] The preferred vegetable oil according to the present invention is a liquid vegetable oil with a melting point range of -20°C to 15°C and / or 15°C to 40°C.

[0212] In a more preferred variant according to the invention, the vegetable oil has a melting point range of -20°C to 35°C.

[0213] The preferred choice is vegetable oil with a melting point range of -20°C to ≤30°C. These vegetable oils with a melting point range of -20°C to ≤30°C have good processability, while vegetable oils with a melting point above 30°C have poor processability.

[0216] The plant oils specified above are the most common natural lipid components used as basic substances in the manufacture of cosmetics or pharmaceutical formulations. However, the disadvantages of these plant oils are that they exhibit unpleasant sensory properties when applied topically, such as low dispersion, an oily, slippery feel, giving the skin an unwanted shine, and making the composition sticky. Furthermore, they are often not easily absorbed or leave a feeling of detachment from the absorbed product on the skin.

[0217] Hydrocarbons (mineral oils) are generally organic compounds composed entirely of hydrogen and carbon. As defined by IUPAC nomenclature or organic chemistry, hydrocarbons are classified as follows: 1. Saturated hydrocarbons are the simplest hydrocarbon species. They are composed entirely of single bonds and are saturated with hydrogen. Acyclic saturated hydrocarbons (i.e., alkanes) have the formula C1. n H 2n+2 The most common form of saturated hydrocarbons is C. n H 2n+2(1-r) ,in r It refers to the number of rings. Those with exactly one ring are cycloalkanes. Saturated hydrocarbons are the basis of petroleum fuels and exist as straight-chain or branched species.

[0218] 2. Unsaturated hydrocarbons have one or more double or triple bonds between carbon atoms. Those with double bonds are called alkenes. Those with one double bond have the formula C0. n H 2n (Assuming a non-cyclic structure). Those containing a triple bond are called alkynes. Those with one triple bond have the formula C. n H 2n-2 .

[0219] 3. Aromatic hydrocarbons, also known as aromatic hydrocarbons, are hydrocarbons that have at least one aromatic ring.

[0220] Hydrocarbons can be liquids (e.g., hexane and benzene), waxes, or low-melting-point solids (e.g., solid paraffin and naphthalene). The term "aliphatic" refers to non-aromatic hydrocarbons. Saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons are sometimes called "paraffins." Mineral oils and waxes are mixtures primarily composed of saturated hydrocarbons, consisting of straight-chain, branched, and cyclic structures with carbon chain lengths greater than C14. Mineral oils and waxes are chemicals prepared from naturally occurring petroleum crude oils. They are primarily composed of mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (MOSHs) and mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAHs). For decades, hydrocarbons have been used in skin and lip care cosmetic products due to their excellent skin tolerance, high protective and cleansing properties, and wide range of viscosity options. Unlike plant oils, mineral oils are not allergenic because they are highly stable and resistant to oxidation or rancidity.

[0221] In a preferred variant, the hydrocarbon that is the liquid lipophilic component of the cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is selected from the group consisting of: undecane, tridecane, mineral oil, petrolatum, squalane, isohexadecane, C7-C8 isoparaffin, C8-C9 isoparaffin, C9-C11 isoparaffin, C9-C12 isoparaffin, C9-C13 isoparaffin, C9-C14 isoparaffin, C9-C16 isoparaffin, C10-C11 isoparaffin, C10- C12 isoparaffin, C10-C13 isoparaffin, C11-C12 isoparaffin, C11-C13 isoparaffin, C11-C14 isoparaffin, C12-C14 isoparaffin, C12-C15 isoparaffin, C12-C20 isoparaffin, C13-C14 isoparaffin, C13-C16 isoparaffin, C14-C16 isoparaffin, C15-C19 isoparaffin, C18-C70 isoparaffin, and mixtures of two or more of the aforementioned hydrocarbons.

[0222] In a particularly preferred variant, the liquid lipophilic component of the cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is a hydrocarbon selected from the following: hydrocarbons, petrolatum, squalane, isohexadecane, C13-C14 isoparaffin, and mixtures of two or more of the aforementioned hydrocarbons.

[0223] The hydrocarbon can be used as a single component or in combination with one or more other different hydrocarbons specified above.

[0224] Fatty alcohols (or long-chain alcohols) are typically high-molecular-weight, straight-chain primary alcohols derived from natural fats and oils, and can range from a minimum of 4 to 6 carbons to a maximum of 22 to 26 carbons. The exact chain length varies depending on the source. Some commercially important fatty alcohols are lauryl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, and oleyl alcohol. They are colorless, oily liquids (for smaller carbon numbers) or waxy solids, although impure samples may appear yellow. Fatty alcohols typically have an even number of carbon atoms and a single alcohol group (-OH) attached to the terminal carbon. Some are unsaturated, and some are branched. Most fatty alcohols in nature occur as waxes, which are both fatty acids and esters of fatty alcohols. The traditional sources of fatty alcohols are primarily various vegetable oils, and these remain large-scale feedstocks. Fatty alcohols are obtained from triglycerides (fatty acid triesters), which constitute the major component of oils. This process involves transesterification of the triglycerides to obtain methyl esters, which are then hydrogenated to yield the fatty alcohol. Fatty alcohols are also prepared from petrochemical sources. In the Ziegler polymerization process, ethylene is oligomerized using triethylaluminum, followed by air oxidation. Alternatively, ethylene can be oligomerized to obtain a mixture of olefins, which is then hydroformylated to produce an odd number of aldehydes, which are subsequently hydrogenated. Fatty alcohols are primarily used in the production of detergents and surfactants. They are also components of cosmetic solvents. They are used as co-emulsifiers, emollients, and thickeners in cosmetics.

[0225] In a preferred variant, the fatty alcohol that is the liquid lipophilic component of the cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is selected from the group consisting of: phenylpropanol, dimethylphenylbutanol, hexyldecanol, octyldodecanol, octyldecanol, tridecanol, isostearyl alcohol, phenylisohexanol, phenylpropanol, trimethylphenylpropanol, isoamyl alcohol, isostearyl alcohol, isotearyl tridecanol, and mixtures of two or more of the aforementioned fatty alcohols.

[0226] In a particularly preferred variant, the liquid lipophilic component of the cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is a fatty alcohol selected from the group consisting of: hydroxydecyl alcohol, octyldecyl alcohol, phenylpropanol, isoamyl alcohol, and mixtures of two or more of the aforementioned fatty alcohols.

[0227] Fatty alcohols can be used as a single component or in combination with one or more other different fatty alcohols specified above.

[0228] Fatty acid esters are a class of esters produced by combining fatty acids with alcohols. When the alcohol component is glycerol, the resulting fatty acid esters can be monoglycerides, diglycerides, or triglycerides. Fatty acid esters have a conditioning effect that softens the skin to create a smooth feel. They are also added to cosmetics to dissolve highly polar active ingredients and UV absorbers. Esters of straight-chain fatty acids and lower alcohols effectively dissolve the slightly soluble components of oils, resulting in a light feel during application. Isostearic acid and other liquid oils containing branched fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids are commonly used as emollients. Esters of higher fatty acids and higher alcohols with relatively high melting points are added to skin creams to adjust the application feel.

[0229] In a preferred variant, the fatty acid ester that is the liquid lipophilic component of the cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is selected from the group consisting of: C12-C15 alkyl benzoate, capric acid / lauric acid / myristic acid / oleic triglyceride, caprylic acid / capric acid triglyceride, caprylic acid / capric acid / lauric acid triglyceride, caprylic acid / capric acid / linoleic acid triglyceride, caprylic acid / capric acid / myristic acid / stearic acid triglyceride, caprylic acid / capric acid / palmitic acid / stearic acid triglyceride, caprylic acid / capric acid Triglycerides stearate, caprylic / capric / succinic triglycerides, octyl caprylate, cetearyl alcohol ethylhexanoate, cetearyl isononanoate, cetearyl nonanoate, cocoyl caprylate, decyl cocoate, decyl oleate, dioctyl carbonate, diethyl succinate, diethylhexyl 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate, diethylhexyl carbonate, dibutyl adipate, diisopropyl adipate, dipropyl heptacarbonate, ethyl laurate, ethylhexyl isononanoate, ethylhexyl palmitate, ethylhexyl stearate Ester, Caprylic / Capric Glyceryl Ester, Caprylic Glyceryl Ester, Lauric Glyceryl Ester, Triacetyl Hydroxystearic Acid Glyceryl Ester, Triacetyl Ricinoleic Acid Glyceryl Ester, Hexyl Laurate, Isoamyl Acetate, Isoamyl Cocoate, Isopropyl Palmitate, Isosorbide Dicaprylyl, Isopropyl Myristate, Oleic / Linoleic Triglycerides, Oleic / Palmyl Triglycerides, Oleic / Palmyl / Lauryl / Myristic / Linoleic Triglycerides, Propylene Glycol Caprylate, Ricinoleic Acid / Hexanoic Acid / Caprylic / capric triglyceride, stearin, erucic acid ester, palmitic / stearic acid triglyceride, propylene glycol dicaprylic / capric acid ester, propyl heptyl caprylate, stearyl heptyl ester / stearyl caprylate, triheptyl, trihydroxystearin, triisononyl, triisopalmitin, triisostearin, trilaurin, trilinotinic acid, trilinotinic acid, trimyristin, trimyristin, trimyristin, trimyristin, trinonanoic acid glyceride, triricin and tristearin, and mixtures of two or more of the aforementioned fatty acid esters.

[0231] Fatty acid esters can be used as a single component or in combination with one or more other different fatty acid esters specified above.

[0232] UV filters are compounds or mixtures of compounds that block or absorb ultraviolet (UV) light. Because excessive UV radiation can cause sunburn, photoaging, and skin cancer, care products such as sunscreens often include classifications based on the specific wavelengths they filter. UV classifications include UVA (320 nm – 400 nm), UVB (290 nm – 320 nm), and UVC (200 nm – 280 nm). UV-absorbing compounds are used not only in sunscreens but also in other personal care products such as lipsticks, shampoos, hairsprays, shower gels, soaps, and insecticides. Chemical filters prevent UV radiation by absorbing, reflecting, or scattering it. Reflection and scattering are accomplished by inorganic physical UV filters, such as titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO). Absorption (primarily of UVB) is done by organic UV filters, which are called chemical UV filters.
