Description

Title of the invention: STICK COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING BIS-ETHYLHEXYLOXYPHENOL METHOXYPHENYL TRIAZINE, A LIPOPHILIC GELLING AGENT, AND A SOLVENT SYSTEM FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to stick 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), a solvent system for solubilizing bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine, and at least one lipophilic gelling agent, as well as methods of making and using such compositions. DISCUSSION OF THE CONTEXT

[0002] Radiation with wavelengths between 290 nm and 400 nm allows tanning of the human epidermis, while radiation with wavelengths between 290 and 320 nm, called 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 leading to premature aging of the skin (i.e., photoaging).

[0003] UVA rays with a wavelength between 320 and 400 nm penetrate deeper into the skin than UVB rays. UVA rays cause immediate and persistent browning of the skin. Daily exposure to UVA rays, even for a short time, under normal conditions, can damage collagen fibers and elastin, resulting in a change in the microrelief of the skin, 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, etc.

[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] The high levels of UV filters, however, do not lend themselves to easy preparation of compositions having a stabilized and pleasant texture, especially in the form of a stick. This is particularly true for compositions containing solid UV-filter bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine, which is usually solubilized during the formation of a stick composition, but which may be unstable, due to its tendency to recrystallize in the composition.

[0007] There remains a need in the art for improved stick compositions containing bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine, particularly transparent or translucent stick compositions such as gels, which exhibit good UV shielding capabilities and good application and use properties. There is also a need to inhibit the recrystallization of bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine in the stick compositions, particularly when the amount of bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine present in the composition approaches or exceeds the solubility limit for the solvent(s) intended to solubilize the bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine present in the composition.

[0008] Therefore, one aspect of the present invention is a stick composition containing bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine which exhibits good UV protection properties, good application and use properties and / or good bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine recrystallization inhibition properties. Summary of the invention

[0009] The present invention relates to stick compositions comprising bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine (BEMT or bemotrizinol), a solvent system for solubilizing the bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine, and at least one lipophilic gelling agent. Preferably, the bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine is added to the compositions in an amount effective to protect keratin from UV radiation and / or is added in a supersaturated amount. Preferably, the compositions are transparent or translucent.

[0010] The present invention further relates to methods of making stick compositions comprising combining bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine, a solvent system for solubilizing the bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine, and at least one lipophilic gelling agent, in the compositions during their formation. Preferably, the bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine (BEMT) is added to the compositions in an amount effective to protect the keratin from UV radiation and / or is added in a supersaturated amount. Preferably, the compositions are transparent or translucent.

[0011] The present disclosure further relates to methods of inhibiting the recrystallization of bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine in a stick composition comprising bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine, in wherein the methods comprise adding at least one lipophilic gelling agent and / or at least one solvent system for solubilizing the bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine in the compositions during their formation, in amounts sufficient to inhibit recrystallization of the bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine in the stick composition after its formation. Preferably, the bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine (BEMT) is added to the compositions in an amount effective to protect the keratin from UV radiation and / or is added in a supersaturated amount. Preferably, the composition is transparent or translucent.

[0023] “Exempt” or “substantially free” or “devoid of” as used herein means that although it is preferred that no amount of the specific component be present in the composition, it is possible for there to be very small amounts thereof in the compositions of the disclosure provided that such amounts 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 amount (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) is / are present in amounts not greater than 0.1% by weight, and "oil-free" means that oil(s) is / are present in amounts not greater than 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 (compositions of the invention that are “oxybenzone and / or octinoxate-free,” “substantially oxybenzone and / or octinoxate-free,” and “oxybenzone and / or octinoxate-free,” as well as “surfactant-free,” “substantially surfactant-free,” and “surfactant-free” have meanings consistent with the discussion in this paragraph), even if not specifically discussed for each identified ingredient.

[0027] “Physiologically acceptable” means compatible with the gel and having a pleasant color, odor 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 “filtering efficiency” in the context of the present disclosure, is evaluated from one or more of SPF, FPUVA, critical wavelength and UVA-I / UV ratio.

[0029] "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 erythema 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 SPF (Sun Protection Factor) assessment can be carried out, for example, in vitro with a Labsphere spectrophotometer (North Sutton, NH, USA). In such an assessment, the plate is the material on which the composition under test is applied. For this assessment, 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).” This factor can also be determined in accordance with 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" (UVF) refers to an index characterizing the UVA protection provided by a composition. For example, the UVA protection factor 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 discussed above in relation to SPF.

[0033] The evaluation of UVA protection can also be measured in vitro with the Labsphere® spectrophotometer under conditions such as those discussed above in connection with SPF. The ISO 24443:2021 protocol describes such an in vitro method. The FDA's broad spectrum test procedures, specifically the "critical wavelength" test procedures, are also found in 21 CFR Part 352 Subpart D § 352.72. In addition, the 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-pr oducts-for-over-the-counter-human-use.» In the test described in the monograph, known as the Boots adaptation of the Diffey / Robson test method, a ratio is generated between the protection provided by the sunscreen product against UVA1 (340 to 400 nm) and the protection against total UV radiation (UVB and UVA at 290 to 400 nm) calculated from the absorbance curve. This UVA1 / UV ratio would represent the product's score in the in vitro test.

[0034] According to the present disclosure, the compositions of the present disclosure preferably have one or more of the following properties:

[0035] The compositions have a critical wavelength, as determined by FDA critical wavelength procedures, of at least 370 nm;

[0036] The compositions have an SPF value of at least 15, preferably at least 30, preferably at least 50 and preferably at least 70;

[0037] The compositions have an FPUVA / SPF ratio of at least 1 / 3, and preferably at least 2 / 5; and / or

[0038] The compositions have a UVA1 / UV ratio of 0.7 or more, preferably 0.75 or more, and preferably 0.8 or more.

[0039] "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 relate to the apparent color of the product after application to a keratinous material or an optical effect such as shine, the blurring of fine lines and imperfections, or a concealing effect on pores or defects after application of the product to the keratinous material.

[0040] “Long-lasting” 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 an extended period of time or after a particular stress event such as immersion in water or rubbing. “Long-lasting” may be evaluated by evaluating long-lasting properties by any method for evaluating such properties known in the art. For example, long-lasting may 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 an extended period of time. For example, the color of a composition may be evaluated immediately after application to a keratinous material such as skin and these characteristics may then be re-evaluated and compared after a period of time. In addition, these characteristics may be evaluated relative to other compositions, such as commercially available compositions.“Long wear” can also be assessed using in vitro methods on non-keratinous substrates such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), in which properties such as color, transparency, or in vitro SPF can be assessed before and after a period or stressor such as immersion in water, incubation at elevated temperatures, or application of an abrasive technique.

[0041] "Supersaturated amount," as used herein in the context of compositions comprising bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine, means an amount of bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine at least a portion of which is expected to be insoluble at room temperature in the composition depending on (1) the respective amounts of bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine and solvent(s) for solubilizing the bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine present in the composition, and (2) the solubility properties of the bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine in the solvent(s).

[0042] "Inhibition of bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine recrystallization," as used herein, means obtaining or achieving less recrystallization of bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine in a sample stick composition (e.g., a composition containing at least one lipophilic gelling agent such as, for example, at least one sugar fatty acid ester gelling agent) than that obtained or achieved in a comparative stick composition (e.g., a composition that does not contain the at least one lipophilic gelling agent).

[0043] Recrystallization of bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine can be determined by incubating stick compositions comprising bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine under different temperature conditions, and evaluating the formula at regular intervals, visually and / or under microscopic examination. The crystals of bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine can be conveniently observed under microscopic examination using of polarized light. Temperature conditions may include regulated temperatures in the range of about 4 C or lower, up to about 60 C. Temperature conditions may further include regulated cycling of the incubation temperature, between ranges of about -20°C or lower to about 20 C or about 60 C, and maintaining the incubation temperature constant for a given time. In some cases, the presence of bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenol triazine crystals may be observed indirectly by turbidity measurements or other spectroscopic methods (e.g., in vitro FPS).

[0044] “Transparent” or “translucent” as used herein refers to compositions having a turbidity, measured according to the following method, of less than 800 NTU (nephelometric turbidity units). In preferred embodiments, the turbidity is less than 500 NTU. The turbidity can be measured using a Hach model 2100 P turbidimeter at room temperature (20 to 25 °C). The tubes used for the measurement are referenced AR 397 A cat 24347-06. The apparatus is calibrated using formazin suspensions at different concentrations. Alternatively, the transparency can be measured by visual comparison between two samples stored under identical processing conditions.Other examples of transparency or translucency measurements may involve applying the composition as a film of controlled thickness to a transparent substrate and visually inspecting the amount of light passing through the sample, or comparing the visibility of a controlled pattern placed behind the transparent substrate and the controlled film of the composition under controlled lighting conditions.

[0045] “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.

[0046] “Naturally occurring compound” refers to any compound derived from a compound natural which has undergone one or more chemical modifications, for example by organic synthesis reaction, without the properties of the natural compound having been modified.

[0047] “Synthetic compound” refers to any compound that is not a compound natural nor a naturally occurring compound.

[0048] “Room temperature” means approximately 20 to 25°C.

[0049] “Atmospheric pressure” means approximately 760 mmHg, i.e. approximately 105 pascals.

[0050] “UV filter” and “sunscreen agent” are used interchangeably in this request.

[0051] “UV efficacy” and “UV efficacy” are used interchangeably. changeable in this application.

[0052] The compositions and methods of the present disclosure may comprise, consist of, or consist essentially of, the essential elements and limitations of the disclosure described herein, as well as 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 present 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 filters. Further, by way of example, the system for inhibiting the recrystallization of bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine may “consist essentially of” one or more sugar fatty acid ester gelling agents and / or the solvent system for solubilizing bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine.

[0053] For the purposes of the present invention, the "fundamental and novel property" associated with the compositions, components and methods which "consist essentially of" the identified ingredients or actions is "the inhibition of the recrystallization of bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine."

[0054] 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 the materials described and referenced herein by a certain trade name. Equivalent materials (e.g., those obtained from a different source under a different catalog name or (reference) number) to those referenced by a trade name may be substituted and used in the methods described and claimed herein.

[0055] All percentages and ratios are calculated by weight unless otherwise indicated. All percentages are, unless otherwise indicated, calculated based on the total weight of a composition. All levels of component or composition refer to the active level of that component or composition, and are exclusive of impurities, e.g., residual solvents or by-products, which may be present in commercially available sources.

[0056] All US patents or patent applications described herein are expressly incorporated by reference in their entirety. Stick composition

[0057] The term "Stick Composition," as used herein, means any composition that is solid or semi-solid under ambient conditions. Stick compositions may be hot-poured into a mold, or formed into a desired structure using extrusion or other molding techniques. Stick compositions may be semi-solid and maintained in a particular shape using other packaging means designed to dispense the semi-solid composition. in a controlled manner.

[0058] According to the present disclosure, stick compositions are provided which comprise 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). By "Stick Composition" is meant, in particular, a composition whose hardness can be measured according to the "cheese wire" method. Said compositions may contain little or no water (e.g., they may be anhydrous, "free", "substantially free", "water-free") and may be in the form of an emulsion (e.g., oil-in-water emulsion or water-in-oil), etc.

[0059] The hardness of a composition may, for example, be expressed in grams-force (gf). The composition of the present disclosure may, for example, have a hardness ranging from 20 gf to 2,000 gf, such as from 20 gf to 900 gf, and further such as from 20 gf to 600 gf, including all intermediate ranges and sub-ranges.

[0060] The measurement of hardness can be illustrated by the following two examples. First, the "cheese cutting wire" method noted above, which involves cutting a composition into a 12.4 mm diameter stick 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 of 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 the compositions according to the present disclosure, which may be in stick form, may, for example, be between 120 gf and 270 gf, preferably between 170 gf and 220 gf, for a 12.4 mm diameter stick sample.

[0061] If desired, another hardness test is carried out according to a method of penetrating a probe into the composition and in particular using a texture analyzer (for example, the PLUS-UPGRADE model texture analyzer from Stable Micro Systems equipped with a stainless steel cylinder with a height of 28 mm and a diameter of 2 mm). The hardness measurement can be carried out at 20 °C in the center of 5 samples of the composition. The cylinder is introduced into each sample of composition 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 peak before the drop in the observed value.

[0062] The hardness of the composition of such preferred embodiments is preferably such that the compositions are self-supporting and can readily disintegrate to form a satisfactory deposit on a keratinous material. Further, said hardness can impart good impact resistance to the compositions described herein, which can be molded or cast, for example, in stick or capsule form.
