Description

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

[0001] This disclosure relates to spray compositions comprising 2,4-bis-{[4-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-2-hydroxy]-phenyl]-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine (INCI name: bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl 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 a detrimental change 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] 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.

[0006] However, high levels of UV filters do not lend themselves to the easy preparation of compositions with a stable and pleasant texture that can be sprayed. This is particularly true for compositions containing solid UV filters such as bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine.

[0007] Consumers like sprayable sunscreen compositions because they are generally easy to apply and spread during application.

[0008] There remains a need in the art of improved spray compositions containing bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine which have good UV protection capabilities in addition to good application and spraying properties.

[0009] Accordingly, one aspect of the present disclosure is a spray composition containing bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine which has good UV protection properties in addition to good application and use properties. Summary of the invention

[0010] This disclosure relates to spray compositions comprising bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine (BEMT). Preferably, bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine (BEMT or bemotrizinol) is added to the compositions in an amount effective in protecting keratinous material against UV radiation.

[0011] This disclosure also relates to methods for manufacturing spray compositions that include the addition of bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine during the formation of the compositions. Preferably, bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine (BEMT) is added to the compositions in an amount effective in protecting the keratinous material from UV radiation.

[0012] It is understood that both the preceding general description and the following detailed description are provided only by way of example and explanation and not as a limitation of disclosure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] 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.

[0014] “Approximately” as used here means to within 10% of the number indicated (for example, "approximately 10%" means from 9% to 11% and "approximately 2%" means from 1.8% to 2.2%.

[0015] “Un” or “une” as used here means “at least one”.

[0016] “At least one” means one or more and thus includes components in individual products as well as mixtures / combinations.

[0017] As used herein, all proposed ranges are intended to include each specific point and range within the given ranges, and combinations of intermediate sub-ranges. Thus, a range from 1 to 5 specifically includes the integers in the range 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, as well as sub-ranges such as 2 to 5, 3 to 5, 2 to 3, 2 to 4, 1 to 4, etc., and all fractional numbers in the range such as 1,2, 2,3, 3,4, etc., and sub-ranges including these fractional numbers such as 1.5 to 3.8, 2 to 4.3, 4.2 to 4.9, etc.

[0018] “Film-forming”, “film-forming polymer” or “film-forming agent” as used herein means a polymer or resin that is capable of leaving a film on the substrate to which it is applied, for example, after a solvent accompanying the film-forming agent has evaporated, been absorbed into the substrate and / or dissipated on it.

Non-limiting examples of substituents include atoms, such as hydrogen or chlorine atoms, as well as functional groups, such as hydroxyl groups, ether groups, alkoxy groups, acyloxyalkyl groups, oxyalkylene groups, polyoxyalkylene groups, carboxylic acid groups, amine groups, acylamino groups, amide groups, halogen-containing groups, ester groups, thiol groups, sulfonate groups, thiosulfate groups, siloxane groups, and polysiloxane groups. The substituent(s) may also be substituted.

[0020] “Volatile”, as used herein, means having a flash point less than about 115 °C.

[0021] “Non-volatile”, as used here, means having a flash point greater than approximately 115 °C.

[0022] “Polymer” as used herein means a compound that is made up of at least two monomers.

[0023] “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 oil(s) are present in quantities not exceeding 0.1% by weight, and "oil-free" means that oil(s) are present in quantities not exceeding 0.25% by weight, relative to 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 mentioned of the use of such language as those in this paragraph are intended to be provided as examples. as an example, not a limitation.

[0024] “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 organic UV filters such as avobenzone, octocrylene, benzophenones, benzotriazoles and merocyanines, as well as mineral UV filters such as zinc oxide (ZnO) and titanium dioxide (TiO2).

[0025] “Anhydrous” as used here means that the compositions of the disclosure contain less than 3% water, which means that compositions can also contain less than 2% water, and less than 1% water, as well as be "water-free", "substantially water-free" and "water-free".

[0026] "Keratinous materials" means nails (fingernails and / or toenails), skin such as the body, face and eye area, scalp, keratinous fibers such as eyelashes, eyebrows and hair, and mucous membranes such as lips.

[0027] “Physiologically acceptable” means compatible with spraying and having a pleasant colour, smell and feel, and which does not cause unacceptable discomfort (tingling or pulling) likely to discourage a consumer from using the composition.

[0028] “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.

[0029] The "SPF" (Sun Protection Factor) 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. "SPF" is a term 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).

[0030] 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.

[0031] The evaluation of the sun protection factor (SPF) can also be carried out in vivo in accordance with the ISO 24444:2019 protocol "Cosmetics-Sun protection test methods-In-vivo determination of the sun protection factor (SPF)." It can also be determined according to FDA protocols, as described in the document "Labeling and Effectiveness Testing; Sunscreen Drug Products for Over-the-Counter Human Use" published in the US Federal Register on 07 / 05 / 2011 (https: / / www.federalregister.gov / d / 2011-14766); 21 CFR Part 352 Subpart D § 352.72, updated and revised by the 2011 publication in the Federal Register.

[0032] “UVA protection factor” refers to a characteristic index assessing the UVA protection provided by a composition. For example, the UVA protection factor (UPPF) 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 SPF.

[0033] UVA protection can also be assessed in vitro with the Labsphere® spectrophotometer under conditions such as those mentioned above in connection with the FPS. ISO 24443:2021 describes such an in vitro procedure. Broad-spectrum test procedures, in particular "critical wavelength" test procedures, are also available in 21 CFR Part 352 Subpart D § 352.72. Furthermore,

[0034] The FDA's broad-spectrum testing 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 / 26 / 02 / 2019 / 2019-03Q19 / 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 would represent the product's score in the in vitro test.

[0035] According to this disclosure, the compositions in this disclosure preferably have one or more of the following properties:

[0036] The compositions have a critical wavelength, as determined by FDA critical wavelength procedures, of at least 370 nm;

[0037] The compositions have an FPS value of at least 15, preferably at least 30, preferably at least 50 and preferably at least 70;

[0038] The compositions have an FPUVA / FPS ratio of at least 1 / 3, and preferably of at least 2 / 5; and / or

[0039] The compositions have a UVA1 / UV ratio of 0.7 or more, preferably 0.75 or plus, and preferably 0.8 or more.

[0040] 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 refer 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 blemishes after application of the product to the keratinous material.

[0041] “Longevity,” as used here, 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 evaluated by assessing the longevity properties by any method known in the art for evaluating such properties. For example, longevity can be assessed 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 of time. For example, the color of a composition can be evaluated immediately following 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 ones. "Longevity" can also be assessed using in vitro processes on non-keratinous substrates such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), in which properties such as color, 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.

[0042] “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.

[0043] “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.

[0044] “Synthetic compound” means any compound that is neither a natural compound nor a composed of natural origin.

[0045] “Room temperature” means approximately 20 to 25 °C.

[0046] “Atmospheric pressure” means approximately 760 mmHg, i.e. approximately 105 pascals.

[0047] “UV filter” and “sunscreen agent” are used interchangeably in the present request.

[0048] “UV efficiency” and “UV protection” are used in a manner interchangeable in this application.

[0049] The compositions and processes of this disclosure may include, consist of, or consist essentially of the essential elements and limitations of the disclosure described herein, together with any additional or optional ingredients, components, or limitations described herein or otherwise useful. For example, the UV (ultraviolet) absorbing system of the compositions of the disclosure may "consist essentially of" bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine alone, or bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine in combination with zinc, titanium, and / or cerium oxides, and / or one or more organic UV filter(s).

[0050] For the purposes of this disclosure, the "fundamental novel property" associated with compositions, components and processes that "consist essentially of" identified ingredients or actions is "the spray angle, droplet distribution and / or product spray volume".

[0051] “Good application and use properties”, as used herein, refers to to the expected properties of a spray composition when dispensed from a suitable spray container. The desired characteristics in a spray composition, which can be referred to here as "performance properties," include an appropriate spray angle, droplet distribution, and product spray volume.

[0052] “Spray angle” or “spray cone angle” as used herein This represents the spray angle created when an actuator on the spray packaging is engaged to dispense the product from the packaging component. The spray angle can be measured visually by photographing the droplets as they exit the packaging component. Alternatively, the spray angle can be determined by measuring the diameter of the spray pattern created on a vertical surface when the packaging is sprayed at a known distance from the vertical surface. The spray angle can be calculated as twice the inverse cosine of half the diameter of the spray pattern divided by the distance of the packaging component from the vertical surface.

[0053] “Droplet distribution” as used herein refers to a property of a spray composition when sprayed from a conditioning component. The distribution can be visually assessed in terms of homogeneity or droplet size and distribution by spraying a spray composition at a controlled distance from a vertical surface and examining the droplet pattern created when the actuator is engaged for a predetermined time. Alternatively, the droplet distribution can be measured at with the aid of laser detection equipment such as a Malvern Spraytec spray particle size analyzer, in which the droplet distribution can be reported as a volume or size distribution.

[0054] “Product spray volume” as used herein for descriptive purposes The good usability properties of a spray composition refer to the quantity of product per unit of time dispensed from a spray container and is used interchangeably with "product spray quantity." The product spray volume can be determined volumetrically or gravimetrically and is recorded as the quantity of product dispensed over a controlled period of time.

[0055] The compositions of this disclosure may be in any form suitable for use as a personal care composition, such as a stick, paste, cream, anhydrous composition, aqueous / alcohol-based composition, emulsion (oil-in-water, water-in-oil, multiple emulsion such as oil-in-water-in-oil), nanoemulsion, thixotropic gel, liquid, etc. These compositions may be used for any personal care purpose in cosmetic and / or dermatological products such as, for example, sunscreen, foundation, lip balms, lipsticks, concealers, mascaras, leave-in hair products, eyeshadows, powders, etc.

[0056] Reference is made herein to trade names of materials, including, but not limited to, materials such as polymers and optional components. The materials are not intended to be limited to those described and referenced herein by a particular trade name. Equivalent materials (for example, those obtained from a different source under a different name or catalogue (reference) number) to those referenced by a trade name may be substituted and used in the processes described and claimed herein.

[0057] Unless otherwise stated, all percentages and ratios are calculated by weight. Unless otherwise stated, all percentages are calculated on the basis of the total weight of a composition. All component or composition levels refer to the active level of that component or composition and are understood to exclude impurities, for example, residual solvents or by-products, which may be present in commercially available sources.

[0058] All US patents or patent applications disclosed herein are expressly incorporated by reference in their entirety. Spray composition

[0059] According to this disclosure, spray compositions comprising a UV (ultraviolet) absorbing system comprising 4-bis-{[4-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-2-hydroxy]-phenyl]-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine (INCI name: Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine) is proposed. Such spray compositions may be in any suitable form and be capable of being sprayed by any means of spraying, such as a pump spray device or an aerosol spray device. For aerosol spraying, the spray compositions of this disclosure preferably include at least one propellant to facilitate atomization of the composition.

[0060] Suitable examples of acceptable compositional forms include, but are not limited to, anhydrous compositions, aqueous / alcohol-based compositions, and emulsions having either an outer aqueous phase (e.g., oil-in-water (o / w) emulsion) or an outer oily phase (e.g., water-in-oil (w / h) emulsion). Such exemplary compositional forms will be discussed in more detail below in relation to ingredients useful in such compositional forms.

[0061] The preferred spray compositions of this disclosure are 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.

[0062] Preferably, the composition has, at 25 °C, a viscosity between 0.1 and 25 Pa.s and preferably between 0.5 and 22 Pa.s. 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 speed of rotation of the rod is observed), at a speed of 200 rpm.

[0063] The spray compositions of this disclosure may also not be fluid at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, but become fluid when a high shear rate is applied. Spray compositions that are fluid under high shear rate conditions are preferably sprayed using spray packaging designed to exclude mixing of the spray composition and the propellant. Examples of suitable spray packaging include bag-on-valve packaging and may comprise an outer canister and an inner bag, in which the inner bag contains the spray composition and the space between the inner bag and the outer canister is pressurized using of any gas at a predetermined pressure. In such a "bag valve" packaging, an actuator is connected so that when the actuator is engaged, the gas pressure between the outer can and the inner bag is able to compress the inner bag and distribute the spray composition.

[0064] Preferably, spray compositions suitable for distribution via bag valve packaging should be fluid (less than 0.1 Pa.s) at high shear rates (about 1000 / s). B is-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine

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.

[0161] Clays are silicates containing a cation that can be selected from among the cations calcium, magnesium, aluminum, sodium, potassium and lithium, and mixtures thereof. As used here, the expression "hydrophilic clay" refers to a clay capable of swelling in water; this clay swells in water and, after hydration, forms a colloidal dispersion.

[0162] 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.

[0163] These clays can be of natural or synthetic origin.

[0169] 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.

[0170] Hydrophobic sublimed silicas can be obtained by modifying the surface of the silica via a chemical reaction that generates a reduction in the number of silanol groups, these groups possibly being substituted, for example, by hydrophobic groups.

[0171] Hydrophobic groups can be chosen, for example, from:

[0172] - trimethylsiloxyl groups, which can be obtained by processing silica sublimated 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.

[0173] - the 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.
