Description

Title of the invention: COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING BIS-ETHYLHEXYLOXYPHENOL METHOXYPHENYL TRIAZINE AND A COLORING AGENT FIELD OF INVENTION

[0001] This disclosure relates to color compositions comprising 2,4-bis-{[4-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-2-hydroxy]-phenyl]-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine (INCI name: bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine) and at least one coloring agent, as well as processes for manufacturing and using such compositions. BACKGROUND DISCUSSION

[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 a wavelength 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 development of compositions with a stabilized and pleasant texture.

[0007] Some colorants found in consumer products, such as, for example, red pigments, are not particularly color stable with respect to light, discolor or degrade after exposure to light, which can lead to changes in color intensity and / or shade of color of the composition after exposure to light, as well as discoloration of the products.

[0008] There remains a need in the art of improved consumer care compositions which have good color stability with respect to light in addition to good holding properties.

[0009] Accordingly, one aspect of the present disclosure is a color composition which has good color stability with respect to light in addition to having good aesthetic properties (e.g., pleasant application). Summary of the invention

[0010] This disclosure relates to color compositions comprising at least one coloring agent and bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine (BEMT or bemotrizinol). Preferably, the bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine (BEMT) is present in the compositions in an amount effective in improving the photostability of the coloring agent.

[0011] This disclosure also relates to processes for the treatment, care, protection, enhancement of appearance and / or makeup of a keratinous material including the application of color compositions of this disclosure to a keratinous material in sufficient quantity to treat the keratinous material, care for it, enhance its appearance and / or make it up.

[0012] This disclosure also relates to methods for improving the photostability of the coloring agent in color compositions comprising at least one coloring agent, wherein the methods include the addition of bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine to the compositions during the formation of the compositions in an amount sufficient to improve the photostability of at least one coloring agent.

[0013] This disclosure also relates to processes for manufacturing color compositions comprising the combination of bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine and at least one coloring agent in the compositions during the formation of the compositions. Preferably, bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine (BEMT) is added to the compositions in an amount effective in improving the color photostability of at least one coloring agent.

[0014] This disclosure also relates to methods for improving the color intensity stability and / or color shade stability with respect to light of color compositions comprising at least one coloring agent, wherein the methods include the addition of bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine (BEMT) to the color compositions during the formation of the compositions in an amount sufficient to improve the color intensity stability and / or color shade stability of the compositions with respect to light.

[0030] “Physiologically acceptable” means compatible with keratinous materials and having a pleasant color, smell, and feel, and which does not cause a unacceptable discomfort (tingling or pulling) likely to discourage a consumer from using the product.

[0031] “UV protection efficiency” or “filtration efficiency” in the In the context of this disclosure, is evaluated from one or more of FPS, UVAPF, critical wavelength and UVA-l / UV ratio.

[0032] 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).

[0033] 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.

[0034] The evaluation of the sun protection factor (SPF) can also be performed in vivo in accordance with ISO 24444:2019 “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.

[0035] “UVA protection factor” refers to an index characterizing 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 skin color observed 2 to 4 hours after UVA exposure. It can also be determined according to FDA protocols, as described in 21 CFR Part 352 Subpart D § 352.72, as mentioned above in relation to SPF.

[0036] UVA protection can also be assessed in vitro using the Labsphere® spectrophotometer under conditions such as those mentioned above in relation to SPF. ISO 24443:2021 describes such an in vitro procedure.

[0037] FDA broad-spectrum test procedures, particularly "critical wavelength" test procedures, are also available 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 would represent the product's rating in the in vitro test."

[0038] According to this disclosure, the compositions in this disclosure preferably have one or more of the following properties:

[0039] The compositions have a critical wavelength as determined by FDA critical wavelength procedures of at least 370 nm;

[0040] The compositions have an FPS value of at least 15, preferably at least 30, preferably at least 50 and preferably at least 70;

[0041] The compositions have an FPUVA / FPS ratio of at least 1 / 3, and preferably of at least 2 / 5 and / or

[0042] The compositions have a UVA1 / UV ratio of 0.7 or more, preferably 0.75 or more, and preferably 0.8 or more.

[0043] The "makeup result" as used herein refers to the visual impact of a composition when applied to a keratinous material such as 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 skin defects after application of the product to the keratinous material.

[0044] “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 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 the keratinous material. These characteristics, such as those found in skin, can then be reassessed and compared after a certain period. Furthermore, these characteristics can be evaluated against other compositions, such as commercially available ones. "Longevity" can also be assessed using in vitro methods on non-keratinous substrates such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Properties such as color, transparency, or SPF can be evaluated in vitro before and after a period or stress factor such as immersion in water, incubation at high temperatures, or the application of an abrasive technique.

[0045] “Coloring agent” as used herein means any material or substance designed to imparting color to the composition ("raw color"), color to the composition after application to a keratinous material, or both. Examples of suitable coloring agents may include dyes and / or pigments.

[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 20-25 °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.

[0053] 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 protection 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 optionally one or more organic UV filters.

[0054] Similarly, the color protection system against light (“system color protection”) compositions of the disclosure may “consist essentially of” bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine.

[0055] 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 "color intensity stability and color shade stability with respect to light".

[0056] “Color intensity stability” as used here means stability against the de Visible discoloration (fading) of the composition's color over time. In practice, this property conveniently refers to the fact that the color composition changes chroma or brightness over time. Color intensity stability can be visually assessed by comparing the color intensity immediately after application of the color composition of this disclosure to the keratinous material (i.e., within 5 minutes of application) with the color intensity of the composition on the keratinous material after a predetermined time (e.g., 6 hours) after application.The color intensity stability of the color composition of this disclosure prior to application can also be assessed visually by comparing an initial color intensity determination (time = To) with a determination at a later date after exposure of the composition to light for a predetermined duration (e.g., 2 months) at a predetermined temperature (e.g., 25 °C or 45 °C).

[0057] “Color shade stability” as used here means stability with respect to The visible color change of the composition over time (for example, from a reddish color to an orange color due to yellowing). In practice, this property conveniently refers to the fact that the color composition changes hue over time. Color hue stability can be visually assessed using the same protocols mentioned above in relation to color intensity stability, either before or after application of the composition to the skin.

[0058] Color intensity stability or color shade stability can also be assessed using a colorimeter or chromatometer such as the CR-400 or CR-410 chromatometer sold by Konica Minolta, designed to quantitatively measure the color of an object or substrate, or of a product applied to a substrate. Assessing color stability using a colorimeter or chromatometer is designed to quantitatively report color changes via a color evaluation system such as L*, a*, or b*. In such cases, color stability can be determined or reported as an overall color change, a change in an individual quantitative value (L*, a*, or b*), or a combination of color values. For convenience, it may be advantageous to represent the color compositions using brightness, hue and chroma instead of or in addition to the use of L* a*b* color space values.

[0059] Without wishing to limit ourselves to theory, it is understood that "color intensity stability" and "coloring agent stability" both apply to the coloring capacity of the coloring agent in compositions. "Coloring agent stability" is used interchangeably in this disclosure with "color intensity stability" and "color shade stability."

[0060] 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, emulsion (oil-in-water, water-in-oil, multiple emulsion such as water-in-oil-in-water), nanoemulsion, gel, liquid, solid, etc. These compositions may be used for all personal care purposes in cosmetic and / or dermatological products such as, for example, sunscreen, foundation, lip balms, lipsticks, concealers, mascaras, leave-in hair products, eyeshadows, powders, etc.

[0061] Reference is made herein to trade names of materials including, but not limited to, polymers and optional components. The materials are not intended to be limited by the materials 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 for and used in the processes described and claimed herein.

[0062] 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.
