Description

Title of the invention: COSMETIC COMPOSITION COMPRISING ETHOXYLATED MATERIALS TO IMPROVE THE PHYSICAL STABILITY OF POLYMER EMULSIONS FIELD OF INVENTION

[0001] The present invention generally relates to a fluid emulsion-type cosmetic composition and a method for manufacturing it to provide benefits to the user's skin. The fluid emulsion-type cosmetic composition comprises a combination of water-soluble and oil-soluble active ingredients in a fluid emulsion to provide benefits to the user's skin and exhibit a favorable textural aesthetic that is stable upon emulsion breakdown in a light texture that is neither creamy nor waxy. The benefits of the fluid emulsion-type cosmetic composition include, but are not limited to, the inclusion of >10% of a combination of water-soluble and oil-soluble active ingredients without loss of physical stability. CONTEXT OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Cosmetic compositions in the form of emulsions stabilized solely with polymers, as opposed to a combination of traditional emulsifiers and polymers, or traditional emulsifiers alone, can more easily provide light, fluid, and gel-like textures, and this type of sensation is often well-liked by many consumers. However, when oil-soluble actives are used in conjunction with water-soluble actives, an emulsion-type system is required rather than purely aqueous serum or gel-type components, which cannot support oil-soluble actives. Therefore, sensorial yet stable emulsion-based serums containing both water-soluble and oil-soluble actives are necessary.Many traditional emulsifiers are solid or waxy raw materials that require heating to melt during processing, which consumes considerable energy in the heating and cooling process. Furthermore, waxy emulsifiers often increase the viscosity and sensory creaminess or richness of the formula, which is unsuitable or undesirable for consumers seeking lighter, less thick products such as toners, serums, and lotions. Unfortunately, without the use of traditional emulsifiers, emulsion stability is difficult to achieve. Without an emulsifier that can surround the entire oil phase and prevent separation... In emulsion coalescence, the only raw material present to prevent instability is the polymer itself, which may prove insufficient. These polymers can emulsify or disperse oil droplets in a gel-like matrix.

[0003] Thus, there is a need to provide a composition which includes raw materials which are not thick wax emulsifiers and which can improve the stability of the emulsion of polymer-stabilized formulas without substantially altering the feel or galenic (i.e. without transforming a serum into a lotion or cream) of the base formula.

[0004] This disclosure provides a composition that uses ethoxylated raw materials to increase the physical stability of polymer-stabilized emulsions. Furthermore, for reasons of naturalness and renewability, the fluid emulsion-type cosmetic composition is silicone-free. The absence of silicone provides the derivative benefit of allowing a greater range and higher concentration of oil-soluble actives, including oil-soluble actives that exhibit low solubility in pure silicones.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0033] In the context of the invention, a direct emulsion is an oil-in-water emulsion.

[0035] “Natural” or “of natural origin” as used herein mean, and refer to, Cosmetically acceptable materials and components that are one or more of those directly obtained from nature, obtained from nature with minimal processing, and derived from materials obtained from nature. The fluid emulsion-type cosmetic composition according to this disclosure is, in certain embodiments, up to 99.11% natural, or "highly natural," or "all-natural," meaning that all carbon atoms of intentionally added ingredients are derived from natural sources in accordance with ISO 16128.

[0036] “Skin”, as used herein, means and refers to cutaneous materials containing keratin such as the skin of the face and body, scalp, eyebrows and lips.

[0037] “Stable0” and “stability0” as used herein mean that the fluid emulsion-type cosmetic composition shows no signs of significant changes in one or more characteristics including colour, odor, pH or viscosity, or rupture / separation of the emulsion or excessive thickening into a creamy, waxy or gel-like texture, aqueous texture or gelling of the cosmetic composition, at room temperature and at temperatures in the range of approximately 25°C to 45°C, and remains stable during freeze / thaw cycles from -20°C to 20°C for up to 10 days.

[0038] As used herein, the term “instability” refers to the inability of a composition to remain fluid or serum-like and demonstrates a breakdown / separation of the emulsion or excessive thickening into a creamy, waxy, or gel-like texture, an aqueous texture, or a gelling of the cosmetic composition. Instability may occur in compositions made outside the scope of the disclosure (i.e. compositions not including the disclosed polymer and ethoxylated agents), and compositions including amounts of polymer thickener exceeding the amounts according to the disclosure, or conventional emulsifiers, thick emollients and waxes.

[0039] The terms “exclude”, “free” and “essentially free” mean that no reliably measurable excluded material is present in the fluid emulsion-type cosmetic composition, for example, an excluded gellan and waxes, vegetable butters, alcohols / saturated fatty acids above C16, silicones including silicone oils / emollients and silicone emulsifiers, including dimethicone, cyclomethicone, polysilicone-11, phenyltrimethicone, trimethylsilylamodimethicone, and stearoxytrimethylsilane, and other silicone oils, silicone emulsifiers and silicone elastomers, petrochemicals, including benzalkonium chloride, isododecane, isohexadecane, sulfate-based surfactants,Emulsifiers selected from those with a hydrophobic substance such as an alcohol or C10-C20 fatty acid condensed with approximately 2 to approximately 100 moles of ethylene oxide or propylene oxide per mole of hydrophobic substance; C2-C10 alkylphenols condensed with 2 to 20 moles of alkylene oxide; fatty acid monoesters and diesters of ethylene glycol; fatty acid monoglycerides; sorbitan; C8-C20 mono- and di-fatty acids; polyoxyethylene sorbitan; alkyl polyglycosides and fatty amide saccharides (e.g., methyl gluconamides); alkyl ether sulfates and sulfonates; alkyl sulfates and sulfonates; alkylbenzene sulfonates; alkyl and dialkyl sulfosuccinates; acyl isethionates C8-C20, the (alkyl C8-C20) ether phosphates,alkyl ethercarboxylate. Certain specific emulsifiers that are absent from the composition include PEG-100 stearate; PEG-20 stearate and other poly(ethylene glycol) esters; sucrose stearate and other sugar ester-based emulsifiers; glyceryl stearate and other glycerol esters; PEG-15 disodium ethylene dicocamide disulfate; sodium stearoyl glutamate and other fatty amides; steareth-100 and other fatty ethers; or any other excluded material as described herein. The term “essentially free” means that, although it is preferred that no excluded material be present in the fluid emulsion-type cosmetic composition, it is possible to have very small amounts of the excluded material in the fluid emulsion-type cosmetic composition of the invention.provided that these quantities do not materially affect the advantageous properties of the fluid emulsion-type cosmetic composition. In particular, “essentially free of” means that the excluded material may be present in the fluid emulsion-type cosmetic composition in an amount of less than 5%, or less than 1%. 4%, or less than 3%, or less than 2%, or less than 1%, or less than 0.1% by weight, relative to the total weight of the fluid emulsion type cosmetic composition.

[0040] As shown here, the inventors have provided the fluid emulsion-type cosmetic composition in the form of a direct oil-in-water emulsion which includes aqueous and oily phases and which includes at least one polymer or synthetic crosslinked polymer, at least one thickening polysaccharide, at least one ethoxylated agent having an HLB in a range of 8 to 14, at least one active ingredient selected from water-soluble skincare active ingredients, oil-soluble skincare active ingredients, and associated combinations, water and at least one oil, the composition being free of silicones. The fluid emulsion type cosmetic composition maintains a fluid texture that does not break, become creamy, waxy or gel, including during freeze / thaw cycles, by maintaining a combination of water-soluble and oil-soluble actives present in an amount that is at least 10% by weight of the composition.

[0041] The fluid emulsion-type cosmetic composition may also include one or more additional ingredients selected from, but not limited to, phenylethyl resorcinol, chelating agents, other active skin components, antimicrobials and preservatives, fillers, antioxidants, perfumes, pearlescent agents, odor absorbers, coloring materials, essential oils, vitamins and combinations thereof.

[0042] The inventors sought to develop a solution for stabilizing fluid emulsions, for example, a fluid serum-type composition, containing large amounts of oil-soluble and water-soluble active ingredients (greater than or equal to 10%) without breaking the emulsion or without excessive and undesirable thickening or creaminess. The inventors surprisingly discovered that ethoxylated ingredients, including ethoxylated fatty alcohols and ethoxylated fatty acids, represent a class of raw materials (hereinafter referred to as "ethoxylated agents") that can offer the advantage of maintaining a fluid, serum-like consistency in the absence of silicones, with the added benefit of allowing the incorporation of a wide range of active ingredients (water-soluble and / or oil-soluble) that may have resistance to solubility in silicones.In general cosmetic arts, ethoxylated fatty alcohols and ethoxylated fatty acids are known as emulsifiers or solubilizers and are characterized by the presence of a hydrophobic alkyl fatty acid / alcohol portion and a hydrophilic ethylene oxide portion. Existing commercial products that include silicones or traces of ethoxylated agents tend to contain relatively small amounts of oil-soluble and water-soluble actives, while other products contain larger amounts. Thick creams or gel creams containing both water-soluble and oil-soluble active ingredients are often used in thick creams or gel creams that also contain waxy substances. The present invention addresses the need for a light, thin emulsion containing large amounts of both water-soluble and oil-soluble active ingredients and that is stable under freeze / thaw conditions. The ethoxylated surfactant is considered to stabilize the oil phase with the polymer thickening gum without further thickening, thus preserving the fluid, serum-like consistency of the emulsion. Specific examples of such ethoxylated agents, as shown in the examples, include laureth-4 and PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate.

[0043] The present invention describes a means of stabilizing a fluid polymer-stabilized emulsion-based serum without adding waxy characteristics or high viscosity by choosing ethoxylated emulsifiers. Other polymers may be more intolerant to electrolytes or thicken in such a way as to add heaviness and body, or thicken excessively to transform a light serum into a lotion or cream. I have identified the main attributes of polymers (liquidity, HLB value, presence of ethoxylation) that offer good stability compared to other polymers that do not meet these criteria. Ethoxylated emulsifiers have shown considerably improved freeze / thaw stability compared to the base and to polyglyceryl-type emulsifiers (as shown in the microscopic images).

[0044] Although it might be expected in the art that the HLB of a surfactant would be a major factor in emulsion stability when all other ingredients are kept constant, the inventors unexpectedly discovered that this is not the case with the composition of the present invention. As shown here, laureth-4, PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate, and polyglyceryl-6 dicaprate were all found to have very similar HLB values. However, only the former two showed a significant improvement in stability. Therefore, the HLB value is not the major factor in stability, which is an unexpected attribute of this system. Moreover, this can be achieved without the use of silicones (emollients or emulsifiers). This system can easily contain large amounts (>10%) of water-soluble and oil-soluble actives without loss of physical stability.

[0045] The performance(s) of the composition of the invention compared to the reference index not having the claimed combination of ingredients are better than the reference index, including in terms of better stability compared to formulations that do not have ethoxylated emulsifiers, sensory improvement compared to formulations that would need to be stabilized using large amounts of polymer or with waxes, better durability compared to formulations that use silicones.

[0046] The fluid emulsion-type cosmetic composition is durable compared to lightweight serums containing silicone, wherein in the composition of the invention, a low level (0.15%) of synthetic polymer is required, and the balance of the fluid emulsion-type cosmetic composition may include fully renewable and biodegradable components, including gum-type thickeners, actives, solvents, oils, and other natural or naturally derived ingredients.

[0047] According to the various embodiments, it is envisaged that some or all of the following ingredients may be excluded from the fluid emulsion-type cosmetic compositions used according to the invention, namely: gellan, waxes, vegetable butters in quantities exceeding approximately 5% by weight relative to the total weight of the fluid emulsion-type cosmetic composition, and alcohols / saturated fatty acids above C16 present in quantities exceeding approximately 5% by weight relative to the total weight of the fluid emulsion-type cosmetic composition, and silicones including silicone oils / emollients and silicone emulsifiers. Other ingredients that may be excluded are petrochemicals and sulfate-based surfactants.

[0125] Example 3: Demonstration of the effect of ethoxvled agents compared to other emulsifiers on stability

[0126] To demonstrate the effect of ethoxylated agents on stability, a base composition (BASE) was prepared. This composition is an oil-in-water emulsion serum containing 0.15% of a C10-C30 acrylate / alkyl acrylate crosslinked polymer as a stabilizing polymer, with xanthan gum as a thickener to increase viscosity. It also contains approximately 12% of total active ingredients, a penetration enhancer, preservatives, solvents, and 4% of the total oil phase. These ingredients all remain constant in all formulations tested for the effects of ethoxylated and other agents on stability, particularly freezing / thawing.

[0127] In this protocol, which represents potential conditions during shipping and storage, one ounce of each tested composition is placed in a jar that is then placed in a chamber that cycles from -20 °C to 20 °C every 24 hours, and vice versa, and which is repeated daily. The samples are observed after 5 cycles (days) and 10 cycles (days). Notably, the base composition does not pass the freeze / thaw stability test.

[0128] Starting from this BASE, 0.5% of each of the different emulsifiers was added to determine whether their addition improved stability. The examples are described below and correspond to the formulations shown in Table 2 above.

[0129] [Tables3] Tested composition: BASE + HLB INV 1 0.5% laureth-4 10 INV 2 0.5% PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate 11 COMP 1 0.5% polyglyceryl-4 caprate 14 COMP 2 0.5% polyglyceryl-2 diisostearate 5 COMP 3 0.5% polyglyceryl-6 dicaprate 10 Tested formulations and HLB

[0130] Formulas INV 1 and INV 2 include ethoxylated agents, while the three comparators COMP 1, COMP 2 and COMP 3 include emulsifiers that are of an oligomeric nature. They are formed using repeating glycerin motifs, as opposed to repeating ethylene oxide motifs.

[0131] All emulsifiers are liquid at room temperature; the composition can be manufactured without the addition of heat.

[0132] [Tables4] Emulsifier Formula RESULTS BASE Base; none Past T0; instability increases over time; unacceptable at 5 and 10 days INV 1 laureth-4 Past all time points; no difference in emulsion quality INV 2 PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate Past T0 and 5 days; less stable at 10 days but better than the base and other formulations below COMP 1 poly-glyceryl-4 caprate Past T0; instability increases over time; unacceptable at 5 and 10 days Test result

[0133] The base with added ethoxylated agents showed a marked improvement in freeze / thaw stability compared to the base and polyglyceryl agents, as shown by microscopic image analysis.

[0134] It was found that although laureth-4, PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate, and polyglyceryl-6 dicaprate all had very similar HLB values, only laureth-4 and PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate showed a large improvement in stability. Therefore, the HLB value is not the primary factor in stability, which is an unexpected attribute of this system.
