Description

Title of the invention: Compositions containing a UV-absorbing system including A UV-MISTANING PHYSICAL MATERIAL AND A COLORING AGENT FIELD OF INVENTION

[0001] This disclosure relates to compositions comprising a UV-absorbing system including at least one physical ultraviolet (UV) attenuating material, and at least one coloring agent, as well as methods for manufacturing and using such compositions. DISCUSSION OF THE CONTEXT

[0002] Exposure to radiation with wavelengths between 290 nm and 400 nm, known as UV radiation or simply "UVR," is implicated in a number of skin diseases and conditions. Exposure to radiation with wavelengths between 290 and 320 nm, also known as UVB radiation, can lead to numerous adverse changes in the biomechanical properties, appearance, and health of the epidermis, resulting in erythema (sunburn), immediate darkening of the skin, the appearance of wrinkles leading to premature skin aging (i.e., photoaging), and a variety of other skin health problems that may include melanoma or other photocancers of the skin.

[0003] UVA rays with wavelengths between 320 and 400 nm penetrate the skin more deeply than UVB rays. Exposure to UVA rays can cause immediate and persistent tanning of the skin, as well as other changes in skin texture or appearance. 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 other skin conditions or diseases related to UVR exposure.

[0005] In order to obtain a product with high protection against UVR, 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 using one or more organic UV filters; however, organic UV filters are often very greasy and unpleasant when applied to the skin, particularly when used at high levels 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 has a color intensity that is far too good or enhanced (leaving "white streaks") when applied to the skin. When mineral UV filters are used at low levels, it may be possible to produce sunscreen formulations with little or no good or enhanced color intensity when applied to the skin; however, such formulations, containing low levels of mineral UV filters, are unable to produce the desired high levels of UV protection.

[0008] Furthermore, it may 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 sunscreen formulation with good or improved color intensity, high UV protection, especially taking into account the need to balance the effectiveness of UVA and UVB protection.

[0009] Finally, colorants present in consumer products also containing a mineral UV filter have a lower color intensity and / or a muted color shade of the composition, and may undergo color alteration in such products, resulting in part from the interaction of the mineral UV filter(s) with light and the effect on the quality and / or quantity of light or wavelength reflected by the colorants present in the products.

[0010] There remains a need in the art of improved sunscreen compositions which have high UV protection and balanced UVA and UVB protection, which are not greasy, which are pleasant to apply and which have good or improved color intensity at rest and / or when applied to the skin.

[0011] Therefore, one aspect of the present disclosure is a composition that is not oily, that has good or improved color intensity, and that exhibits high UV protection. Summary of the invention

[0012] This disclosure relates to compositions comprising a UV-absorbing system including at least one physical attenuation material ultraviolet (UV) and at least one coloring agent.

Preferably, the compositions possess good or improved color intensity and / or color shade properties at rest and / or during application. Preferably, the compositions are in the form of an emulsion, preferably an oil-in-water emulsion.

[0013] This disclosure also relates to processes for the treatment, care, protection, enhancement of appearance and / or makeup of keratinous material, including the application of compositions of this disclosure to keratinous material in sufficient quantity to treat, care for, enhance the appearance and / or makeup the keratinous material.

[0014] This disclosure also relates to methods for manufacturing colored compositions comprising at least one ultraviolet (UV) attenuating physical material, by combining at least one ultraviolet (UV) attenuating physical material and at least one coloring agent in the compositions during the formation of the compositions to produce compositions that have good or improved color intensity and / or color shade properties. Preferably, the compositions further comprise an emollient system, preferably comprising at least three hydrocarbon emollients. Preferably, the compositions have good or improved color intensity and / or color shade properties at rest and / or during application. Preferably, the compositions are in the form of an emulsion, preferably an oil-in-water emulsion.

[0015] This disclosure also relates to methods for enhancing the color intensity and / or color shade of colored compositions comprising at least one coloring agent and at least one physical ultraviolet (UV) attenuating material, wherein the methods include the addition of an emollient system, preferably comprising at least three hydrocarbon emollients, to the colored compositions in sufficient quantity(ies) and form(s) to enhance the color intensity and / or color shade properties during the formation of the compositions.

[0024] “Fast-spreading emollient” as used herein refers to emollients that glide These emollients spread easily on keratinous material (skin) and are rapidly absorbed after application, without forming a visibly perceptible film on the skin. "Fast-spreading emollients" have a low molecular weight (i.e., less than approximately 250 g / mol). Preferably, they also have a low viscosity of less than approximately 10 mPa·s at or near room temperature (25 °C).

[0025] “Slow-spreading emollient” as used herein refers to emollients that spread Slow-spreading emollients spread slowly and form a visibly perceptible film on the keratinous material (skin) after application. They may also give a feeling of heaviness or a thicker consistency than other emollients. Slow-spreading emollients have a high molecular weight (i.e., greater than approximately 300 g / mol). Preferably, they also have a high viscosity, greater than approximately 10 mPa·s at or near room temperature (25 °C).

[0026] “Medium-spreading emollient” as used herein refers to emollients that are between "fast-spreading emollients" and "slow-spreading emollients". "Medium-spreading emollients" have a medium molecular weight (i.e., between approximately 250 g / mol and approximately 300 g / mol) and do not have a preferred viscosity.

[0027] “Exempt” or “substantially exempt” or “devoid of”, as used herein, This means that, although it is preferable for no quantity of the specific component to be present in the composition, it is possible for very small quantities to be present in the disclosed compositions, provided that these quantities do not materially affect at least one, preferably most, of the advantageous properties of the disclosed compositions. Thus, for example, "oil-free" means that an effective quantity (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 one or more oils are present in quantities not exceeding 0.1% by weight, and "oil-free" means that one or more oils are present in quantities not exceeding 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 in the disclosure that are "free of oxybenzone and / or octinoxate," "substantially free of oxybenzone and / or octinoxate," and "devoid of oxybenzone and / or octinoxate," as well as "free of surfactants," "substantially free of surfactants," and "devoid of surfactants" have meanings consistent with the discussion in this paragraph), even if they are not specifically mentioned for each ingredient identified in the application.

[0029] “Whitening” or “white marks” as used herein refer to the appearance The visual whiteness of the keratinous substance after the application of a composition to the keratinous material compared to the appearance of the keratinous material before the application of the composition. A composition is "whitening" if it provides a minimal or no visually white appearance (preferably no visually white appearance) to the keratinous material upon application (in the absence of a coloring agent).

[0030] “Anhydrous” as used here means that the compositions of the disclosure contain less than 3% water, which means that compositions may also contain less than 2% water, and less than 1% water, as well as being "water-free", "substantially water-free" and "water-free", as defined above.

[0031] “Color intensity” can be measured, for example, using an applicator A BYK brand square film is used to apply a homogeneous 50 µm film of the compositions onto a BYK Penopac IA card. The formulations are then dried for 24 hours at 32 °C on a hot plate. A Colorgrail Spectrophone 2 instrument is used to measure the C* value of the dried formulation on the sealed white portion of the card. The 30730° measurement mode can be used in the instrument settings.

[0032] A "UV-absorbing system containing essentially at least one ultraviolet (UV) attenuating physical material" as used herein means that the compositions of the disclosure contain less than 3% of UV filters other than the ultraviolet (UV) attenuating physical material(s), in particular less than 3% of organic UV filters, which means that in this definition include as subcategories compositions containing less than 2% of UV filters other than the ultraviolet (UV) attenuating physical material(s), in particular less than 2% of organic UV filters, and less than 1% of UV filters other than the ultraviolet (UV) attenuating physical material(s), in particular less than 1% of organic UV filters, as well as those that are "free of UV filters other than the ultraviolet (UV) attenuating physical material","substantially free of UV filters other than the physical ultraviolet (UV) attenuation material" and "devoid of UV filters other than the physical ultraviolet (UV) attenuation material" as defined above.

[0036] “Passive” as used in relation to the description of a physical material Ultraviolet (UV) attenuation here refers to a material that has been treated with so that the potential for the release of ionic species when in contact with water is reduced compared to the same non-passivated material.

[0037] “Keratinous materials” or “keratinous substance” means nails (nails fingers and / or toes), skin such as that of the body, face and around the eyes, scalp, keratinous fibers such as eyelashes, eyebrows and hair, and mucous membranes such as lips.

[0038] “Physiologically acceptable” means compatible with keratinous materials and having a pleasant color, smell and feel, and which does not cause unacceptable discomfort (tingling or pulling) likely to discourage a consumer from using the composition.

[0039] The “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.

[0040] 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).

[0041] 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.

[0042] 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 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.

[0043] “UVA protection factor” refers to an index characterizing the UVA protection provided by a composition. For example, the UPF / VA index can be measured in vivo according to the "PPD" (Persistent Pigment Darkening) method of the protocol ISO-24442:2022, which measures skin color observed 2 to 4 hours after UVA exposure. It can also be determined according to FDA protocols, again as described in 21 CFR Part 352 Subpart D § 352.72 as mentioned above in relation to SPF.

[0044] 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.

[0045] The FDA's broad-spectrum test procedures, particularly the "critical wavelength" test procedures, can also be 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-products-for-over-the-counter-human-use.

[0046] According to this disclosure, the compositions in this disclosure preferably have one or more of the following properties:

[0047] The compositions have a critical wavelength, as determined by FDA critical wavelength procedures, of at least 370 nm;

[0048] The compositions have an FPS value of at least 15, preferably at least 30, preferably at least 50 and preferably at least 70;

[0049] The compositions have an FPUVA / FPS ratio of at least 1 / 3, and preferably of at least 2 / 5 and / or

[0050] The compositions have a UVA1 / UV ratio of 0.7 or more, preferably 0.75 or more, and preferably 0.8 or more.

[0051] “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 perceived by 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 wear 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.

[0052] “Natural” as in the expression “natural compound” refers to a any compound derived directly from a natural substance such as a plant without having undergone chemical modification.

[0053] “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.

[0054] “Synthetic compound” refers to any compound that is neither a compound natural nor a compound of natural origin.

[0055] “Room temperature” means approximately 20-25 °C.

[0056] “Atmospheric pressure” means approximately 760 mmHg, i.e. approximately 105 pascals.

[0057] “UV filter” and “sunscreen agent” are used interchangeably in the present request.

[0058] “Effectiveness against UV”, “UV effectiveness” and “Effectiveness of UV protection” are used interchangeably in this application.

[0059] The compositions and processes of this disclosure may include, consist of, or consist substantially 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 (ultraviolet) absorbing system of the compositions of the disclosure may "consist substantially of" at least one or more physical ultraviolet (UV) attenuating material(s).

[0060] For the purposes of this disclosure, the "fundamental novel property" associated with compositions, components and processes relating to UV protection properties that "consist essentially of" identified ingredients or actions is "UV efficacy".

[0061] For the purposes of this disclosure, the "fundamental novel property" associated with compositions, components and processes relating to the properties of the composition when applied to keratinous material which "consist essentially of" identified ingredients or actions is "good or improved color intensity".

[0062] 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.

[0063] Reference is made herein to trade names of materials including, but not limited to, materials such as polymers and optional components. Materials are not intended to be limited by the materials described and referenced herein by a particular trade name.
