Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the use of certain compounds as wetting and / or dispersing agents. [Background technology]

[0002] Personal care is important for hygiene, health, and beauty. Insoluble solids such as pigments and UV absorbers play important functional roles in products such as color cosmetics, moisturizers, and sunscreens, and may also be used in other skin and hair care products.

[0003] The effectiveness of incorporating such solids into a liquid matrix is ​​often a key determining factor in both the manufacturing process and the efficacy of the final formulation. Initial wetting of the solid particles is a critical part of this process. During the wetting stage, air adsorbed on the solid surface is displaced, and the solid is completely surrounded by the liquid. This step may be followed by a dispersion step, which uses high-shear mixing to physically reduce the primary particle size of the solid or to break down any agglomerates remaining after initial wetting. In some cosmetic formulations, it is common to use only low to moderate shear and rely on effective wetting to achieve a stable dispersion with the desired properties, such as a pleasant skin feel or good particle spreadability. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] There is a continuing need for superior performing wetting and dispersing agents. Furthermore, there is a general demand for ingredients in cosmetic formulations to be based on or derived from natural and renewable sources: indeed, consumers are concerned about the source of ingredients used in such formulations and feel more comfortable using ingredients derived from natural and renewable sources.

[0050] The present invention also relates to a compound comprising: (A) a compound X selected from glyceryl ethers, sorbitan esters, isosorbide esters, and compounds of formula (I): and [ka] wherein R is selected from saturated hydrocarbon chains having 5 to 23 carbon atoms, unsaturated hydrocarbon chains having 5 to 23 carbon atoms, and mixtures thereof. (B) Emollients The present invention relates to a combination including:

[0051] Preferred compounds X are further described above. Preferred emollients are further described above.

[0052] The following examples are intended to illustrate, but not limit, the present invention. [Example]

[0053] Unless otherwise specified, % means % by weight. material CCT: Caprylic / Capric Triglyceride. CCT is known as an emollient. Velsan® CGE is commercially available from Clariant Chemical name: Caprylyl glyceryl ether. Velsan® EHG is commercially available from Clariant Chemical name: Ethylhexylglycerin. Velsan® SC is commercially available from Clariant Chemical name: sorbitan caprylate.

[0054] Example 1: Pigment wetting The viscosity of a pigment dispersion in oil is negatively correlated with the dispersion efficiency of the carrier material. Therefore, a decrease in viscosity indicates the uniformity of the dispersion. To calculate the viscosity difference between the pure carrier material without added pigment and the pigment dispersion, use the following formula: Viscosity difference rate = (viscosity value after pigment dispersion - viscosity value before pigment dispersion) / (viscosity value before pigment dispersion) The lower the viscosity difference ratio, the better the pigment is wetted.

[0055] The lower the viscosity difference, the better the pigment wetting. A mixture of 64% emollient (CCT), 1% preservative booster (Velsan CGE or Velsan EHG), and 35% pigment (red iron oxide, yellow iron oxide, or titanium dioxide) was homogenized (Ultra-Turrax, 13,000 rpm for 2 minutes) and analyzed (rheometer: HAAKE Mars III, plate P35 Ti L - 14048 (plate-and-plate method, 0.200 mm gap), average of three measurements: set temperature 20.0°C, shear rate 10.01 / s, 30.0 seconds).

[0056] [Table 1]

[0057] Velsan CGE exhibits excellent pigment wetting. These results indicate that Velsan CGE is a very useful additive for color cosmetics and mineral sunscreen applications. Velsan EHG also exhibits similarly good results and is suitable for these applications.

[0058] Example 2: Particle size A mixture of 64% emollient (CCT), 1% preservative booster (Velsan CGE, Velsan EHG or Velsan SC) and 35% pigment (red iron oxide, yellow iron oxide or titanium dioxide) was homogenized (Ultra-Turrax, 13000 rpm for 2 minutes) and analyzed using a grindometer (measurement (next day): average of three measurements with a grindometer (0-100 μm, Thierry).

[0059] [Table 2]

[0060] Velsan CGE has a smaller average particle size and exhibits superior pigment dispersion compared to pure CCT. These results indicate that Velsan CGE is highly useful in color cosmetics and mineral sunscreen applications. Velsan EHG and Velsan SC also show similarly good results and are suitable for these applications. In conclusion, Caprylyl Glyceryl Ether, Ethylhexylglycerin, or Sorbitan Caprylate can be used not only as a preservative booster, but also as a wetting agent and / or dispersing agent for pigments or inorganic UV filters.
