[0001] Description

[0002] Sunscreen with disodium phenyldibenzimidazoletetrasulfonate and terephthalylidene dicamphorsulfonic acid

[0003] The present invention relates to a cosmetic preparation containing the triethanolamine salt of disodium phenyldibenzimidazoletetrasulfonate (INCI: Disodium Phenyl Dibenzimidazole Tetrasulfonate) and the triethanolamine salt of terephthalylidene dicamphorsulfonic acid (INCI: Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid).

[0004] The trend away from a refined pallor toward "healthy, athletically tanned skin" has been unbroken for years. To achieve this, people expose their skin to sunlight, as this triggers pigment formation in the form of melanin. However, the ultraviolet radiation from sunlight also has a damaging effect on the skin. In addition to acute damage (sunburn), long-term damage such as an increased risk of skin cancer occurs with excessive exposure to light in the UVB range (wavelength: 280-320 nm). Excessive exposure to UVB and UVA radiation (wavelength: 320-400 nm) also leads to a weakening of the elastic and collagen fibers of the connective tissue. This causes numerous phototoxic and photoallergic reactions and results in premature skin aging.

[0005] To protect the skin, a number of sunscreen filter substances have been developed that can be used in cosmetic preparations. These UVA and UVB filters are summarized in most industrialized countries in the form of positive lists, such as Annex 7 of the Cosmetics Regulation.

[0006] However, the large number of commercially available sunscreens should not obscure the fact that these state-of-the-art preparations have a number of disadvantages.

[0007] For many years, there has been a steadily growing demand for UV-A filter substances. This is due in no small part to numerous government regulations that require a balanced ratio of UV-A and UV-B protection in sunscreens. However, the number of UV-A filters available in cosmetics is very limited. Oil-soluble compounds such as butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane or diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate are primarily used.

[0008] To achieve particularly high UV protection, however, it is necessary to incorporate UV-A filters into the aqueous phase as well. For this purpose, around the turn of the millennium, the company Symrise developed the compound disodium phenyldibenzimidazole tetrasulfonate (INCI: Disodium Phenyl Dibenzimidazole Tetrasulfonate) as a water-soluble UV-A filter. However, this substance has the disadvantage of fluorescing strongly in certain wavelength ranges. This effect was first observed in nightclub visitors who sparkled bluish under "black light." This fluorescence phenomenon initially made the UV filter unusable for further use in cosmetics, and a number of research projects were launched to resolve the problem. Symrise found an initial promising solution in the use of troxerutin. This solution was successfully patented under EP2185126.

[0009] Although the combination with troxerutin resulted in a significant reduction in fluorescence, a weak residual fluorescence remained, further hindering the use of disodium phenyl dibenzimidazole tetrasulfonate in cosmetics. There are also reasons to avoid troxerutin, considering the cost of such a preparation and its tolerability (allergic reactions cannot be ruled out in individual cases).

[0010] It was therefore the object of the present invention to solve this problem of the prior art and to further reduce the fluorescence of disodium phenyldibenzimidazoletetrasulfonate (INCI: Disodium Phenyl Dibenzimidazole Tetrasulfonate) in cosmetic preparations without having to use troxerutin or to reduce its amount used.

[0011] Surprisingly, the problem is solved by a cosmetic preparation containing a) the triethanolamine salt of disodium phenyldibenzimidazoletetrasulfonate (INCI: Disodium Phenyl Dibenzimidazole Tetrasulfonate), b) the triethanolamine salt of terephthalylidene dicamphor sulfonic acid (INCI: Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid).

[0012] Although the skilled person is familiar with EP2185126, there is also DE10 2022 203499.6, which was not yet published at the time of the present application, these documents could not point the way to the present invention.

[0039] The following formulations were prepared and their fluorescence properties were investigated:

[0040] The fluorescence (color intensity at 365 and 312 nm) was determined as follows:

[0041] First, 3.0 mL of the samples are transferred into glass Petri dishes (diameter 5 cm).

[0042] The Petri dishes are then placed individually on a dark surface. A standard DSLR or DSLM camera is mounted at a height of 30 cm (here a Canon PowerShot SX540 HS). A UV lamp is mounted in the same way (here a VL-6.LM 365 / 312 2x6W UV lamp 230V EU; set to 365 and 312 nm, respectively). The images in these examples were taken with the following camera settings and are for guidance only: ISO 400; F = 4.0; self-timer 25s. The images are analyzed using a program that can separate color channels. In this case, GIMP 2.10.28 was used. Using a histogram, the color channels of the images can be separated into RGB colors. The analyzed area of ​​the images must be selected appropriately so that only the contents of the Petri dishes are separated in the histogram. The fluorescence value is determined based on the blue value at 365 or 312 nm excitation wavelength.Conclusion: The fluorescence and the blue value are reduced by the presence of terephthalylidenedicamphorsulfonic acid and by the presence of triethanolamine.
