Description

Title of the invention: HAIR CARE COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING BIS-ETHYLHEXYLOXYPHENOL ME-THOXYPHENYL TRIAZINE FIELD OF INVENTION

[0001] This disclosure relates to hair care compositions comprising 2,4-bis-{ [4-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-2-hydroxy]-phenyl}-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine (INCI name: bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol me-thoxyphenyl triazine), as well as processes for manufacturing and using such compositions. DISCUSSION OF THE CONTEXT

[0002] Radiation with wavelengths between 290 nm and 400 nm allows the human epidermis to tan, while radiation with wavelengths between 290 and 320 nm, known as UVB rays, hinders the development of a natural tan. Exposure is also likely to cause detrimental changes in the biomechanical properties of the epidermis, resulting in the appearance of wrinkles and leading to premature skin aging (i.e., photoaging).

[0003] UVA rays with wavelengths between 320 and 400 nm penetrate the skin more deeply than UVB rays. UVA rays cause immediate and persistent tanning of the skin. Daily exposure to UVA rays, even for a short period under normal conditions, can damage collagen and elastin fibers, resulting in changes in the skin's microrelief, the appearance of wrinkles, and uneven pigmentation (spots, uneven skin tone).

[0004] Numerous studies show the need for effective protection against UVA and UVB to prevent sunburn, photoaging, and the like.

[0005] Studies also show the need to protect hair from UV rays, which can damage it or cause physical changes that may damage it.

[0006] In order to obtain a high protection product, it is generally necessary to combine a large number of sunscreens and / or a large quantity of UV filters to achieve high levels of filtration efficiency.

[0007] However, high levels of UV filters do not lend themselves to the easy development of compositions with a stabilized and pleasant texture.

[0008] There remains a need in the art of improved hair care compositions which They possess organic UV filters and have pleasant application properties (e.g., non-greasy feel) and UV protection properties.

[0009] Accordingly, one aspect of this disclosure relates to hair care compositions which have organic UV filters and pleasant application properties (e.g., non-greasy feel) and UV protection properties. Summary of the invention

[0017] It must be understood that both the preceding general description and the detailed description that follows are merely illustrative and explanatory and do not limit disclosure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0018] In the following description and the claims annexed thereto, it shall be understood that the terms used have their ordinary and usual meanings in the art, unless otherwise specified.

[0019] “Approximately” as used here means to within 10% of the stated number (for example, "approximately 10%" means from 9% to 11% and "approximately 2%" means from 1.8% to 2.2%.

[0020] “Un” or “une” as used here means “at least one”.

[0021] “At least one” means one or more and thus includes components in individual products as well as mixtures / combinations.

[0022] As used herein, all proposed ranges are intended to include each specific point and range within the given ranges, as well as each combination of intermediate sub-ranges.

[0025] “Volatile”, as used herein, means having a flash point less than about 115 °C.

[0026] “Non-volatile”, as used here, means having a flash point greater than approximately 115 °C.

[0027] “Polymer” as used herein means a compound that is made up of at least two monomers.

[0028] “Exempt” or “substantially exempt” or “devoid of” as used herein This means that although it is preferable for no quantity of the specific component to be present in the composition, it is possible for very small quantities of it to be present in the compositions of the disclosure, provided that these quantities do not materially affect at least one, preferably most, of the advantageous properties of the compositions of the disclosure. Thus, for example, "oil-free" means that an effective quantity (i.e., greater than trace amounts) of oil(s) is omitted from the composition (i.e., about 0% by weight), "substantially oil-free" means that one or more oils are present in quantities not exceeding 0.1% by weight, and "oil-free" means that one or more oils are present in quantities not exceeding 0.25% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition.The same nomenclature applies to all other ingredients identified throughout the application and in this paragraph, such as, for example, specific UV filters and / or surfactants (the compositions in the disclosure that are "free of oxybenzone and / or octinoxate," "substantially free of oxybenzone and / or octinoxate," and "devoid of oxybenzone and / or octinoxate," as well as "free of surfactants," "substantially free of surfactants," and "devoid of surfactants" have meanings consistent with the discussion in this paragraph), even if they are not specifically mentioned for each identified ingredient. The examples of the use of such language, such as those in this paragraph, are intended to be provided by way of example, not limitation.

[0029] “UV Filters” as used herein means approved sunscreen active agents by a government regulatory agency such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States or the European Commission in Europe and includes avobenzone, octocrylene, benzophenones, benzotriazoles and merocyanines, as well as mineral UV filters such as zinc oxide (ZnO) and titanium dioxide (TiO2).

[0030] “Anhydrous” as used here means that the compositions of the disclosure contain less than 3% water, which means that compositions may also contain less than 2% water, and less than 1% water, as well as being "water-free", "substantially water-free" and "water-free" as defined above.

[0031] “Hair” includes the hair, but also eyelashes and eyebrows.

[0032] “Hair care compositions” or “hair compositions” include any hair care composition applied to hair such as hair coloring compositions, hair styling compositions, conditioning compositions and hair cleansing compositions.

[0033] The expression "physiologically acceptable" means compatible with hair and having a pleasant color, odor and feel, and which does not cause any unacceptable discomfort (tingling or pulling) likely to discourage a consumer from using the composition.

[0034] “UV protection efficiency” or “filtration efficiency” in the context of the this disclosure is evaluated from one or more elements among FPS, FPUVA, critical wavelength and UVA-I / UV ratio.

[0035] The "SPF" (Sun Protection Factor) generally measures the level of protection against erythema provided by a composition. The SPF value corresponds to the ratio between the minimum erythematous dose (MED) measured on skin covered with the composition and the MED measured on bare skin. The term "SPF" is well known in the art of sunscreens and is defined, for example, in "A new substrate to measure sunscreen protection factors throughout the ultraviolet spectrum," J. Soc. Cosmet. Chem., 40, 127-133 (May / June 1989). Although SPF generally relates to the protection provided to the skin, it can be used as an indicator to evaluate the protection provided to hair, particularly through the in vitro techniques discussed below.

[0036] The evaluation of the SPF (Sun Protection Factor) can be carried out, for example, in vitro with a spectrophotometer from Labsphere (North Sutton, NH, USA). In such an evaluation, the plate is the material onto which the composition under test is applied. For such an evaluation, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) plates can be used. An example of an acceptable protocol is currently undergoing ISO accreditation under the name ISO Committee Draft 23675.

[0037] The "UVA Protection Factor" (UPF) refers to an index characterizing the UVA protection provided by a composition. For example, the UPF index can be measured in vivo according to the "PPD" (Persistent Pigment Darkening) method of the ISO-24442:2022 protocol, measuring the skin color observed 2 to 4 hours after UVA exposure. It can also be determined according to FDA protocols, as described again in 21 CFR Part 352 Subpart D § 352.72 as mentioned above in relation to the FPS.

[0038] UVA protection can also be assessed in vitro with the Labsphere® spectrophotometer under conditions such as those mentioned above in connection with the SPF. ISO 24443:2021 describes such an in vitro procedure. FDA broad-spectrum test procedures, particularly those relating to the "critical wavelength," are also found in 21 CFR Part 352 Subpart D § 352.72. In addition, broad-spectrum test procedures include the determination of the UVA1 / UV ratio as described in "Sunscreen Drug Products for Over-the-Counter Human Use" published in the Federal Register https: / / www.federalregister.gov / documents / 2019 / 02 / 26 / 2019-03019 / sunscreen-drug-products-for-over-the-counter-human-use."In the assay described in the monograph, known as the Boots adaptation of the Diffey / Robson test method, a ratio is generated between the protection offered by the sunscreen product against UVA1 (340-400 nm) and the protection against total UV radiation (UVB and UVA at 290-400 nm) calculated from the absorbance curve. This UVA1 / UV ratio should represent the product's score in the in vitro test."

[0039] According to this disclosure, the compositions in this disclosure preferably have one or more of the following properties:

[0040] The compositions have a critical wavelength as determined by FDA critical wavelength procedures of at least 370 nm;

[0041] The compositions have an FPS value of at least 15, preferably at least 30, preferably at least 50 and preferably at least 70;

[0042] The compositions have an FPUVA / FPS ratio of at least 1 / 3, and preferably of at least 2 / 5; and / or

[0043] The compositions have a UVA1 / UV ratio of 0.7 or more, preferably 0.75 or more, and preferably 0.8 or more.

[0044] The "makeup result" as used herein refers to the visual impact of a composition when applied to a keratinous material such as the skin. The makeup result may relate to the apparent color of the product after application to a keratinous material or to an optical effect such as shine, the blurring of fine lines and imperfections, or a concealing effect on pores or skin defects after application of the product to the keratinous material.

[0045] "Longevity" as used herein refers to compositions where the color or other apparent properties remain the same or substantially the same as at the time of application, as seen with the naked eye, after a prolonged period or after a particular stress event such as immersion in water or rubbing. "Longevity" can be assessed by evaluating the longevity properties Longevity can be assessed by any method of evaluating such properties known in the art. For example, longevity can be evaluated by a test involving the application of a composition to a keratinous material such as skin and evaluating the color of the composition after a prolonged period. For instance, the color of a composition can be evaluated immediately after application to a keratinous material such as skin, and these characteristics can then be re-evaluated and compared after a certain time. Furthermore, these characteristics can be evaluated against other compositions, such as commercially available compositions.Longevity can also be assessed using in vitro processes on non-keratinous substrates such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), in which properties such as colour, transparency or in vitro FPS can be evaluated before and after a period or stress factor such as immersion in water, incubation at high temperatures or the application of an abrasive technique.

[0046] “Natural” as in the expression “natural compound” means any compound derived directly from a natural substance such as a plant without having undergone chemical modification.

[0047] “Compound of natural origin” means any compound derived from a natural compound which has undergone one or more chemical modifications, for example by organic synthesis reaction, without the properties of the natural compound having been modified.

[0048] “Synthetic compound” means any compound that is neither a natural compound nor a composed of natural origin.

[0049] “Room temperature” means approximately 20 to 25 °C.

[0050] “Atmospheric pressure” means approximately 760 mmHg, i.e. approximately 105 pascals.

[0051] “UV filter” and “sunscreen agent” are used interchangeably in the present request.

[0052] “UV efficiency” and “UV protection” are used in a manner interchangeable in this application.

The at least one thixotropic agent may be selected, for example, from hydrophilic or organophilic clays, hydrophilic or hydrophobic sublimed silicas, elastomeric organopolysiloxanes, and mixtures thereof.

[0156] Clays are silicates containing a cation that can be selected from among calcium, magnesium, aluminum, sodium, potassium, and lithium cations, and mixtures thereof. As used here, the term "hydrophilic clay" refers to a clay capable of swelling in water; this clay swells in water and, after hydration, forms a colloidal dispersion.

[0157] Examples of such products include, but are not limited to, smectite family clays such as montmorillonites, hectorites, bentonites, beidellites and saponites, vermiculite family clays, stevensite and chlorites.

[0164] Hydrophilic sublimated silicas can be obtained by high-temperature hydrolysis of a volatile silicon compound in an oxyhydrogen flame, producing finely divided silica. Hydrophilic silicas have a large number of silanol groups on their surface. Such hydrophilic silicas are sold, for example, under the names Aerosil 130®, Aerosil 200®, Aerosil 255®, Aerosil 300® and Aerosil 380® by the Degussa company, and Cab-O-Sil HS-5®, Cab-O-Sil EH-5®, Cab-O-Sil LM-130®, Cab-O-Sil MS-55® and Cab-O-Sil M-5® by the Cabot company.

[0165] Hydrophobic sublimed silicas can be obtained by modifying the surface of the silica via a chemical reaction which generates a reduction in the number of silanol groups, these groups being possibly substituted, for example, by hydrophobic groups.

[0166] Hydrophobic groups can be chosen, for example, from:

[0167] trimethylsiloxyl groups, which can be obtained by treating fumed silica in the presence of hexamethyldisilazane. Silicas treated in this way are known as "Silica silylate" according to the CTFA (6th edition, 1995). They are sold, for example, under the references Aerosil R812® by Degussa, and Cab-O-Sil TS-530® by Cabot,

[0168] dimethylsilyloxyl or polydimethylsiloxane groups, which can be obtained in particular by treating sublimed silica in the presence of polydimethylsiloxane or dimethyldichlorosilane. Silicas treated in this way are known as "Silica dimethyl silylate" according to the CTFA (6th edition, 1995). They are sold, for example, under the references Aerosil R972® and Aerosil R974® by Degussa, and CAB-O-SIL TS-610® and CAB-O-SIL TS-720® by Cabot.

[0169] The at least one thixotropic agent, if any, may preferably be present in the composition in an amount ranging from 0.05 percent by weight, for example, preferably from about 0.05 percent to about 15 percent by weight, preferably from about 0.5 percent to about 10 percent by weight, and preferably from about 0.75 percent to about 5 percent by weight, all weights being stated relative to the total weight of the composition, including all intermediate ranges and sub-ranges such as, for example, 1% to 3%, 0.5% to 7%, 5% to 15%, etc.

[0170] According to certain embodiments, the compositions of this disclosure may also optionally include in addition at least one charge.

[0173] A person skilled in the art shall ensure that the optional additional additives are chosen and / or their quantity so that the advantageous properties of the composition as disclosed are not, or are not substantially, compromised by the envisaged addition.

[0174] It goes without saying that the composition of the disclosure must be cosmetically or dermatologically acceptable, that is, it must contain a physiologically acceptable, non-toxic carrier. The composition may be in any pharmaceutical form normally used in the cosmetic and dermatological fields that is suitable for topical administration as mentioned above.

[0175] These auxiliary additives may be present in the composition in a proportion of 0% to 99% (such as 0.01% to 90%) relative to the total weight of the composition and furthermore such as 0.1% to 50% by weight (where appropriate), including all intermediate ranges and sub-ranges. Examples of product shapes

[0176] As mentioned above, the hair compositions of this disclosure may be in any form suitable for use as a hair care composition, and may be used for any purpose associated with such hair products.

[0177] Specific examples of hair products and formulations include, but are not limited to, shampoos and leave-in products such as conditioners or styling products. Generally, such compositions contain a liquid carrier and one or more ingredients to facilitate the intended use of the composition, such as at least one surfactant (e.g., shampoos or other cleansing products), at least one volumizing agent (e.g., shampoos and conditioners or styling compositions), at least one conditioning agent (e.g., leave-in products such as conditioners), etc.

[0178] For example, the shampoo formulations of this disclosure may contain surfactants that can lower the surface tension of water and allow the water to adhere more effectively to dirt on the hair, thus facilitating its removal. Cleansing surfactants such as sulfates like sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, and ammonium laureth sulfate may be used, as well as other functionally equivalent cleansing surfactants. Furthermore, leave-in products such as the conditioners of this disclosure may contain emollients, particularly oils, and especially silicone oils such as cyclomethicone and polydimethylsiloxanes (dimethicones), as part of the compositions.

[0179] Examples of surfactants include, but are not limited to, the following surfactants. 1. Sticks and solid compositions:

[0180] According to preferred embodiments, the compositions of this disclosure may be solid (for example, in stick form). "Solid" includes, in particular, a composition whose hardness can be measured using the "cheese wire" method. Such compositions may contain little or no water (for example, anhydrous, "free," "substantially free," "devoid" of water), contain little or no oil (for example, "free," "substantially free," "devoid" of water), be in the form of an emulsion (for example, oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion), etc.

[0181] Typically, such solid compositions should be subjected to heating, force, dilution with a liquid or other action before, at the same time as and / or after application of the composition to the hair.

[0182] The hardness of a composition may, for example, be expressed in grams-force (gf). The composition of this disclosure may, for example, have a hardness ranging from 20 gf to 2000 gf, such as from 20 gf to 900 gf, and furthermore such as from 20 gf to 600 gf, including all intermediate ranges and sub-ranges.

[0183] The measurement of hardness can be illustrated by the following two examples. First, the "butter wire" method mentioned above, which consists of cutting a composition into a stick 12.4 mm in diameter and measuring its hardness at 20 °C using a DFGHS 2 tensile testing machine from Indelco-Chatillon Co. or a similar machine at a speed of 100 mm / minute. The hardness value obtained by this method is expressed in grams as the shear force required to cut a stick under the above conditions. According to this method, the hardness of compositions according to this disclosure, which may be in stick form, may, for example, range from 120 gf to 270 gf, preferably from 170 gf to 220 gf, for a sample 12.4 mm in diameter.

[0184] If desired, another hardness test is carried out using a probe penetration method in the composition, in particular with a texture analyzer (for example, the Stable Micro Systems PLUS-UPGRADE texture analyzer equipped with a stainless steel cylinder 28 mm high and 2 mm in diameter). The hardness measurement can be carried out at 20 °C at the center of 5 samples of the composition. The cylinder is introduced into each sample at a pre-speed of 2 mm / s, then at a speed of 0.5 mm / s, and finally at a post-speed of 10 mm / s, the total displacement being 2 mm. The recorded hardness value is that of the first maximum peak before the observed drops in value.

[0185] The hardness of the composition of such preferred embodiments is preferably such that the compositions are self-supporting and can easily disintegrate to form a satisfactory deposit on keratinous materials. Furthermore, this hardness can confer good impact resistance to the compositions disclosed herein, which can be molded or cast, for example, in the form of a stick or a capsule.

[0186] According to preferred embodiments, solid compositions (for example, sticks) can be prepared by incorporating any of the ingredients mentioned herein together with sufficient quantities of thickening agents to thicken the aqueous and / or oily phases of the compositions in order to make them "solid." Such thickening agents are well known in the art and include, for example, oil-phase gelling agents, aqueous-phase gelling agents, waxes, thixotropic agents, fillers and the like, as well as mixtures of two or more of these ingredients. 1. Liquid compositions (for example, some shampoos and leave-in products):

[0187] According to preferred embodiments, the compositions of this disclosure may be fluid. "Fluid" specifically means a composition that is not solid at room temperature (25 °C) and whose viscosity can be measured. The term "fluid" means a liquid composition that flows under its own weight at room temperature (25 °C) and atmospheric pressure. Advantageously, a fluid composition according to this disclosure has a complex stiffness modulus G* of less than 1000 Pa, preferably less than 400 Pa, and preferably less than 200 Pa. Preferably, the composition has a viscosity at 25 °C of between 0.1 and 25 Pa·s, and preferably between 0.5 and 22 Pa·s.Such compositions may contain little or no water (e.g., anhydrous, "free", "substantially free", "devoid" of water), contain little or no oil (e.g., "free", "substantially free", "devoid" of water), be in the form of an emulsion (e.g., oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion), etc.

[0188] A suitable method for measuring viscosity is generally carried out at 25 °C, using a Rheomat RM 180 viscometer equipped with a No. 3 or No. 4 rod, depending on the work recommendations, the measurement being carried out after 10 minutes of rotation of the rod in the composition (after which a stabilization of the viscosity and the rotation speed of the rod is observed), at a speed of 200 rpm.

[0189] According to preferred embodiments, fluid compositions can be prepared by incorporating any of the ingredients mentioned herein, including insufficient amounts of thickening agents to thicken the aqueous and / or oily phases of compositions so that they remain fluid and do not become "solid". 1. Pastes (e.g., certain hair waxes and styling creams)

[0190] Between fluid and solid compositions lies a paste composition, which is a composition whose viscosity and hardness cannot be measured according to the methods described above. According to preferred embodiments, the compositions Dough can be prepared by incorporating any of the ingredients mentioned here. 1. Gel (for example, certain shampoos and leave-in products)

[0191] According to preferred embodiments, gel compositions can be prepared by incorporating any of the ingredients mentioned herein, including aqueous-phase gelling agents, oil-phase gelling agents and mixtures thereof, in sufficient quantity to prepare a gel composition.

[0192] According to preferred embodiments, the compositions of this disclosure are in the form of a gel having a gel crossing point ranging from about 2% to about 50% strain, preferably from about 3% to about 40% strain, and preferably from about 4% to about 30% strain, including all intermediate ranges and sub-ranges. The term "gel crossing point" (Sol / Gel point) means the point at which G" (loss modulus) intersects G' (storage modulus), expressed as a percentage of strain. It is the point at which a composition transitions from a mostly solid to a mostly liquid state. An example of a method for determining a gel crossing point is to use a TA Instruments Discovery HR-2 rheometer with a 40 mm parallel plate geometry on a flat stainless steel Peltier plate.The test can be carried out at 25 °C with an angular frequency test parameter of 1.0 rad / s and a logarithmic sweep: % strain from 0.1 to 1000.0 %. 5 points per decade. 1. Foam (aerosol foam or pump bottle foam) (for example, some conditioners or styling products)

[0193] In preferred embodiments, the compositions of this disclosure are in the form of a foam, that is, they comprise a gaseous phase dispersed in a condensed phase. "Foam" means a system comprising two or more phases in which a gas is dispersed in a condensed phase (liquid, gelled liquid, and / or solid) to form a foam structure. In some embodiments, the foam is a two-phase system having a gaseous phase dispersed in a liquid or gelled phase. The term foam is intended to exclude conventional sprays. "Conventional spray" means a system in which minute particles or droplets of liquid and / or solid are suspended in a gaseous phase. In preferred embodiments, the foam compositions can be prepared by incorporating any of the ingredients mentioned herein.

[0194] According to certain embodiments, the foam, after being expelled from a container onto the palm of a user, will appear as an opaque mass of a certain visible thickness. If left intact on the user's palm, the opaque mass can retain its shape and appearance, without any visible change. The opaque mass can retain its shape and appearance for a period ranging from approximately two seconds to several hours or more. In some embodiments, the opaque mass can retain its shape and appearance for a period of at least approximately 10 seconds. In other embodiments, the opaque mass can retain its shape and appearance for a period of at least one minute, such as at least two minutes, such as at least five minutes, or such as at least ten minutes. During these periods, a substantial portion of bubbles or bubble cells may remain ("residual bubbles"). The residual bubbles may be polydisperse or relatively monodisperse. In other embodiments, the foam may include at least a certain fraction of residual bubbles of dispersed gas ranging in size from approximately 0.25 mm to approximately 5 mm, such as from 0.5 mm to approximately 5 mm, or such as from 1 mm to approximately 5 mm.

[0195] The size of the residual bubbles can be determined using, for example, a DFA100 foam analyzer (KRÜSS GmbH Wissenschaftliche Laborgerate). Approximately five grams of product can be dispensed into the glass tube of the foam analyzer. An image can be acquired using the camera integrated into the instrument one minute after the product has been dispensed.
