Description

Title of the invention: COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING BIS-ETHYLHEXYLOXYPHENOL METHOXYPHENYL TRIAZINE AND AN ACTIVE AGENT FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present disclosure relates to 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 active agent, as well as methods of making and using such compositions. BACKGROUND DISCUSSION

[0002] Radiation with wavelengths between 280 nm and 400 nm allows tanning of the human epidermis, while radiation with wavelengths between 280 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 wavelengths 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 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 / or 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 high filtration rates to obtain high levels of filtration efficiency.

[0006] However, high levels of UV filters do not lend themselves to easy development of compositions with a stabilized and pleasant texture.

[0007] Some active agents present in consumer products are not particularly light stable, degrading upon exposure to light, which may result in decreased availability of the active agent over time and result in lower amounts of active agent available in the composition to provide the desired or intended functionality.

[0008] There remains a need in the art for improved consumer care compositions that possess good light stability of the active agent in addition to good staying power properties.

[0009] Therefore, one aspect of the present disclosure is a composition which has good light stability of the active agent in addition to having good UV protective properties. Summary of the invention

[0010] The present disclosure relates to compositions comprising at least one active agent and bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine (BEMT or bemo-trizinol). Preferably, bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine (BEMT) is present in the compositions in an amount effective to improve the photostability of the active agent.

[0011] The present disclosure also relates to methods for treating, caring for, protecting, improving the appearance and / or making up a keratinous material comprising the application of compositions of the present disclosure to a keratinous material in an amount sufficient to treat the keratinous material, take care of it, improve its appearance and / or make it up.

[0012] The present disclosure also relates to methods of improving the photostability of the active agent in compositions comprising at least one active agent, the methods comprising adding bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine to the compositions in the compositions during formation of the compositions in an amount sufficient to improve the photostability of the at least one active agent.

[0013] The present disclosure also relates to methods of making compositions comprising combining bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine and at least one active agent in the compositions during formation of the compositions. Preferably, bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine (BEMT) is added to the compositions in an amount effective to improve the photostability of the at least one active agent against UV rays.

[0014] The present disclosure also relates to methods of improving the UV stability of the active agent of compositions comprising at least one active agent, the methods comprising adding bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine (BEMT) to the compositions during formation of the compositions in an amount sufficient to improve the UV stability of the active agent in the compositions.

[0015] It should be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and do not limit the disclosure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] In the following description and the claims appended thereto, it is to be understood that the terms used have their ordinary and customary meanings in the art, unless otherwise specified.

[0018] “A” or “an” as used herein means “at least one”

[0019] “At least one” means one or more and thus includes components in individual as well as mixtures / combinations.

[0020] As used herein, all proposed ranges are intended to include every specific point and range within the given ranges, and every combination of subranges therein. Thus, a range of 1 to 5 specifically includes the integers in the range 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, as well as subranges such as 2 to 5, 3 to 5, 2 to 3, 2 to 4, 1 to 4, etc., as well as all fractional numbers in the range such as 1.2, 2.3, 3.4, etc., and subranges including such fractional numbers such as 1.5 to 3.8, 2 to 4.3, 4.2 to 4.9, etc.

[0021] “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 former has evaporated, been absorbed into, and / or dissipated on the substrate.

[0025] “Polymer” as used herein means a compound that is made up of at least two monomers.

[0026] “Exempt” or “substantially free” or “devoid of,” as used herein, means that, although it is preferable that no amount of the specific component is 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 of no more than 0.1% by weight, and "oil-free" means that oil(s) is / are present in amounts of no more 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 (the compositions of the disclosure 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. The disclosed examples of the use of such language such as those in this paragraph are intended to be exemplary, and not limiting.

[0027] “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).

[0028] “Anhydrous” as used herein means that the compositions of the disclosure contain less than 3% water, which means that the compositions may also contain less than 2% water, and less than 1% water, as well as be “water-free”, “substantially water-free” and “water-free” as defined above.

[0029] “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 the lips.

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

[0031] “Photosensitive,” as used herein, means any substance that can decompose or undergo a chemical transformation through a photochemical reaction pathway initiated by irradiation under UV light or visible light. A composition containing a photosensitive compound can be expected to contain a lower amount of said compound after the composition has been exposed to UV light or visible light.

[0032] The term "photostability," as used herein, refers to the likelihood that a substance in a composition will decompose or undergo chemical transformation through photochemical reaction pathways initiated by irradiation with UV light or visible light. Photostability can often be used to describe the likelihood that a photosensitive substance will decompose or undergo chemical transformation through a photochemical reaction pathway after a composition has been exposed to UV light or visible light.

[0033] The term "chemical stability," as used herein, refers to the likelihood that a substance contained in a composition will decompose or undergo chemical transformation over time. In cases where the decomposition or chemical transformation of a substance contained in a composition is initiated or propagated by irradiation under UV light or visible light, the term "chemical stability" is used interchangeably with "photostability."

[0034] “Light stabilizer” as used herein means a substance which, when added to a composition also containing a photosensitive substance, may reduce the likelihood that the photosensitive substance will undergo decomposition or chemical transformation when irradiated under UV light or visible light.

[0035] “UV protection efficiency” or “filtration efficiency” in the context of present disclosure, is evaluated from one or more of SPF, FPUVA, critical wavelength and UVA-I / UV ratio.

[0036] 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 erythema dose (MED) measured on skin covered with the composition and the MED measured on bare skin. The term "SPF" is 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).

[0037] 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 being tested is applied. For such an assessment, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) plates can be used. An example of an acceptable protocol is currently undergoing ISO accreditation as ISO Committee Draft 23675.

[0038] 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 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.

[0039] “UVA protection factor” (UVA protection factor) refers to a characteristic index tering the UVA protection provided by a composition. For example, the UVA factor may be measured in vivo in accordance with the "PPD" (Persistent Pigment Darkening) method of the ISO-24442:2022 protocol, measuring skin color observed 2 to 4 hours after UVA exposure. It may also be determined in accordance with FDA protocols, as described again in 21 CFR Part 352 Subpart D § 352.72 as discussed above in relation to SPF.

[0040] The assessment of UVA protection can also be measured in vitro with the Labsphere® spectrophotometer under conditions such as those mentioned above in relation to SPF. The ISO 24443:2021 protocol describes such an in vitro method.

[0041] The FDA's broad spectrum test procedures, specifically the "critical wavelength" test procedures, are also available 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 assay 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 (340-400 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.

[0042] According to the present disclosure, the compositions of the present disclosure preferably have one or more of the following properties:

[0043] The compositions exhibit a critical wavelength, as determined by FDA critical wavelength procedures of at least 370 nm;

[0044] The compositions have an SPF value of at least 15, preferably at least 30, preferably at least 50 and preferably at least 70;

[0045] The compositions have an FPUVA / SPF ratio of at least 1 / 3, and preferably at least 2 / 5 and / or

[0046] The compositions have a UVA1 / UV ratio of 0.7 or more, preferably 0.75 or more, and most preferably 0.8 or more.

[0047] "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 skin defects after application of the product to the keratinous material.

[0048] "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 known in the art for evaluating such properties. 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 following application to a keratinous material such as skin, and these characteristics may then be re-evaluated and compared after a certain period of time.In addition, these characteristics can be evaluated relative to other compositions, such as commercially available compositions. “Long wear” can also be evaluated 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 evaluated before and after a period or stressor such as immersion in water, incubation at elevated temperatures, or application of an abrasive technique.

[0049] “Natural” as in the expression “natural compound” means any compound derived directly from a natural substance such as a plant without undergoing chemical modification.

[0050] “Naturally occurring compound” means any compound derived from a naturally occurring 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.

[0051] “Synthetic compound” means any compound that is neither a natural compound nor a compound of natural origin.

[0052] “Room temperature” means approximately 20-25°C.

[0053] “Atmospheric pressure” means approximately 760 mmHg, i.e. approximately 105 pascals.

[0054] “UV filter” and “sunscreen agent” are used interchangeably in this request.

[0055] The terms “UV efficacy”, “UV protection” and “UV efficacy” are used interchangeably in the present application.

[0056] 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 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.

[0057] Similarly, the active agent UV protection system ("active agent protection system") of the compositions of the disclosure may "consist essentially of" bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine.

[0058] For the purposes of the present disclosure, the "fundamental and novel property" associated with compositions, components and methods which "consist essentially of" identified ingredients or actions is "the stability of the active agent".

[0059] The term "active agent stability," as used herein, refers to the chemical stability or photostability of an active agent in a composition. Active agent stability can be evaluated by comparing the amount of active agent present in a composition before and after the application of a stressor. Stressors may include one or more factors such as UV light, visible light, temperature, time, exposure to oxygen, exposure to acids or bases, or exposure to other substances. The term "active agent stability" is used interchangeably with "active agent photostability" when a stressor includes exposure to UV light or visible light.

[0060] The compositions of the present 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 any personal care purpose in products cosmetic and / or dermatological products such as, for example, sunscreen, foundation, lip balms, lipsticks, concealers, mascaras, leave-in hair products, eye shadows, powders, etc.

[0061] 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 by the materials described and referenced by a certain trade name herein. 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.

[0062] All percentages and ratios are, unless otherwise indicated, calculated by weight. 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.
