Description

Title of the invention: Compositions containing a UV-absorbing system including A UV-ATTENUATING PHYSICAL MATERIAL AND A POLYOL FATTY ACID ESTER FIELD OF INVENTION

[0001] This disclosure relates to compositions comprising a UV-absorbing system (component) including at least one ultraviolet (UV) attenuating physical material and a surfactant system (component) including at least one polyol fatty acid ester, as well as methods for preparing 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, called 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 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 product with high protection, 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 formulation of stable compositions with a pleasant texture. It is possible to obtain high UV protection by using one or more organic UV filters; however, organic UV filters are often very greasy and unpleasant to apply. on the skin, particularly when used at high rates in a sunscreen formulation required for high UV protection efficacy.

[0007] Mineral UV filters, such as titanium dioxide or zinc oxide, are alternative UV filters to organic UV filters that can provide more pleasant textures; however, when one or more mineral UV filters are used, the resulting sunscreen formulation is far too whitening (leaving "white casts") when applied to the skin. When mineral UV filters are used at lower concentrations, it may be possible to produce sunscreen formulations with little or no whitening when applied to the skin; however, such formulations, containing low concentrations of mineral UV filters, are unable to produce the desired high levels of UV protection.

[0008] Finally, it can be difficult to combine an organic UV filter and a mineral UV filter in a single composition, especially in order to obtain a non-greasy, pleasant, non-whitening and high UV protection sunscreen formulation, particularly taking into account the need to balance the effectiveness of UVA and UVB protection.

[0009] Finally, consumers prefer fluid sunscreen compositions, such as spray-on sunscreens, because they are generally easy to apply and spread during application. However, it can be difficult to provide broad-spectrum UV protection and / or high SPF values ​​to a stable fluid emulsion composition containing mineral UV filters because the amount of mineral UV filter required to achieve such broad-spectrum and / or high SPF protection against UV rays is so high that it can render the fluid emulsion composition unstable and / or give it poor application properties, making the formulation of an acceptable composition problematic.

[0010] There remains a need in the art of improved fluid sunscreen compositions which have high UV protection and balanced UVA and UVB protection, which are stable, not greasy, pleasant to apply and do not leave white marks when applied to the skin.

[0011] Therefore, one aspect of the present disclosure is a stable fluid composition that is not greasy, does not whiten when applied to the skin, and has high UV protection. Summary of the invention

[0037] “UV protection efficiency” or “filtration efficiency” in the context of This disclosure is evaluated based on one or more of the following: FPS, FPUVA, critical wavelength, and UVA-I / UV ratio.

[0038] 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. 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).

[0039] 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 on which the composition is applied. The 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.

[0040] 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 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 U.S. Federal Register on May 7, 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.

[0041] “UVA protection factor” refers to an index characterizing the UVA protection conferred by a composition. For example, the UVA protection factor (UPPF) can be measured in vivo according to the "PPD" (Persistent Pigment Darkening) procedure 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.

[0042] UVA protection can also be assessed in vitro using the Labsphere® spectrophotometer under conditions such as those mentioned above in relation to the SPF. ISO 24443:2021 describes such an in vitro procedure.

[0043] 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.

[0044] According to this disclosure, the compositions in this disclosure preferably have one or more of the following properties:

[0045] the compositions have a critical wavelength, as determined by FDA critical wavelength procedures, of at least 370 nm;

[0046] the compositions have an FPS value of at least 15, preferably at least 30, preferably at least 50 and preferably at least 70;

[0047] the compositions have an FPUVA / FPS ratio of at least 1 / 3, and preferably of at least 2 / 5; and / or

[0048] the compositions have a UVA1 / UV ratio of 0.7 or more, preferably 0.75 or more, and preferably 0.8 or more.

[0049] “Makeup result”, as used herein, refers to compositions where the The color remains the same or substantially the same as at the time of application, as observed with the naked eye, after a prolonged period. The "makeup result" can be evaluated by assessing the long-lasting properties using any method known in the art for evaluating such properties. For example, long-lasting performance 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 in relation to other compositions, such as commercially available compositions.

[0050] “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.

[0051] “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.

[0052] “Synthetic compound” means any compound that is neither a natural compound nor a composed of natural origin.

[0053] “Room temperature” means approximately 20-25 °C.

[0054] “Atmospheric pressure” means approximately 760 mmHg, i.e. approximately 105 pascals.

[0055] “UV filter” and “sunscreen agent” are used interchangeably in the present request.

[0056] “Effectiveness against UV”, “UV effectiveness” and “Effectiveness of UV protection” are used interchangeably in this application.

[0057] The compositions and methods of the present invention may include, 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 in the disclosure may "consist essentially of" at least one physical ultraviolet (UV) attenuating material.

[0058] For the purposes of this disclosure, the "fundamental and novel property" associated with compositions, components and processes related to UV protection properties which "consist essentially of" identified ingredients or actions is "UV protection efficacy"

[0059] For the purposes of this disclosure, the "fundamental novel property" associated with compositions, components and processes related to the properties of the composition prior to application to keratinous material that "consist essentially of" identified ingredients or actions is "stability against phase separation".

[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.
