Description

Title of the invention: STICK COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING BIS-ETHYLHEXYLOXYPHENOL METHOXYPHENYL TRIAZINE, A LIPOPHILIC GELDING AGENT, AND A SOLVENT SYSTEM FIELD OF 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 methoxyphenyl triazine), a solvent system for solubilizing bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine, and at least one lipophilic gelling agent, as well as methods 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 alteration of 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, 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] However, high levels of UV filters do not in themselves lend themselves to the easy formulation of compositions with a stable and pleasant texture, particularly in stick form. This is especially true for compositions containing bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine with a solid UV filter, which is usually solubilized during the formation of a stick composition, but which can 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 protection capabilities and good application and usage properties. It is also necessary to inhibit the recrystallization of bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine in 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 properties of inhibiting the recrystallization of bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine. 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 for protecting keratin against UV radiation and / or is added in a supersaturated quantity. Preferably, the compositions are transparent or translucent.

[0010] The present invention further relates to methods for manufacturing stick compositions comprising the combination of 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 in protecting the keratin against UV radiation and / or is added in a supersaturated quantity. Preferably, the compositions are transparent or translucent.

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

[0028] “UV protection efficiency” or “filtering efficiency” in the context of this disclosure, is evaluated from one or more of 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 erythemal 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 (Solar 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 this 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 performed in vivo in accordance with ISO 24444:2019 “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] The "UVA protection factor" (UPF) refers to an index characterizing the protection against UVA provided by a composition. For example, the UPF index It 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] 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 "critical wavelength" test procedures, are also found in 21 CFR Part 352 Subpart D § 352.72. In addition, broad-spectrum test procedures include determining 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 test 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 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 this disclosure, the compositions in this 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 FPS value of at least 15, preferably at least 30, preferably at least 50 and preferably at least 70;

[0037] The compositions have an FPUVA / FPS ratio of at least 1 / 3, and preferably of 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] 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 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 a prolonged period or after a particular stress event such as immersion in water or rubbing. "Longevity" can be assessed by evaluating longevity properties using any method for evaluating such properties known in the art. 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. For example, 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.

[0041] The "supersaturated amount", as used here in the context of compositions comprising bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine, means an amount of bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine of which at least a portion should be insoluble at room temperature in the composition according to (1) the respective amounts of bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine and solvent(s) intended to solubilize bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine present in the composition, and (2) the solubility properties of bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine in the solvent(s).

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

[0043] The 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. Bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine crystals can be conveniently observed under microscopic examination using polarized light. Temperature conditions may include regulated temperatures in the range of approximately 4°C or lower, up to approximately 60°C. Temperature conditions may further include regulated cycling of the incubation temperature, between ranges of approximately -20°C or lower to approximately 20°C or approximately 60°C, and maintaining a constant incubation temperature for a specified period. 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 exhibiting a turbidity, measured according to the following procedure, of less than 800 NTU (nephelometric turbidity units). In preferred embodiments, the turbidity is less than 500 NTU. Turbidity can be measured using a Hach model 2100 P turbidity meter at room temperature (20 to 25 °C). The tubes used for measurement are referenced AR 397 A cat 24347-06. The instrument is calibrated using formazine suspensions at different concentrations. Alternatively, 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 in a film of controlled thickness onto 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 compound of natural origin.

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

[0049] “Atmospheric pressure” means approximately 760 mmHg, that is to say approximately 105 pascals.

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

For example, the UV (ultraviolet) absorption system of the compositions in this 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). Alternatively, by way of example, the bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine recrystallization inhibition system 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 processes 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 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.

[0055] All percentages and ratios are calculated by weight unless otherwise stated. All percentages are, unless otherwise stated, 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.

"Stick composition" includes, in particular, a composition whose hardness can be measured using the "cheese wire" method. Such 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 or water-in-oil emulsion), etc.

[0059] The hardness of a composition can, for example, be expressed in grams-force (gf). The composition of the present disclosure can, for example, have a hardness ranging from 20 gf to 2,000 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.

[0060] The measurement of hardness can be illustrated by the following two examples. First, the "cheese-cutting wire" method noted 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 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 this 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 stick sample 12.4 mm in diameter.

[0061] If desired, another hardness test is carried out by means of a probe penetration method into the composition, in particular using 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 composition 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 peak before the observed value drops.
