Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a cosmetic preparation containing the triethanolamine salt of disodium phenyl dibenzimidazole tetrasulfonate (INCI: Disodium Phenyl Dibenzimidazole Tetrasulfonate) and the triethanolamine salt of terephthalylidene dicamphor sulfonic acid (INCI: Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid).

[0002] The trend from a refined bluish-white color to a "healthy and sporty brown skin" has continued for many years. To achieve this, people expose their skin to sunlight because sunlight induces pigment formation in the form of melanin formation. However, the ultraviolet rays of sunlight also cause damage to the skin. When overexposed to light in the UVB region (wavelength: 280 - 320 nm), in addition to acute damage (sunburn), long-term damage such as an increased risk of developing skin cancer occurs. Furthermore, the excessive effects of UVB rays and UVA rays (wavelength: 320 - 400 nm) lead to the weakening of the elastic fibers and collagen fibers of the connective tissue. This results in numerous phototoxic reactions and photoallergy reactions, causing skin aging earlier than expected.

[0003] Therefore, to protect the skin, many light protection filter substances that can be used in cosmetic preparations have been developed. These UVA filters and UVB filters are summarized in the form of a positive list such as Annex 7 of the cosmetic regulations in most developed countries.

[0004] Although there are many commercially available sunscreens, it must not be hidden that these preparations of the prior art have some drawbacks.

[0005] Over the years, the demand for UV-A filtering substances has been steadily increasing. This is particularly due to the numerous government regulations that require a sufficient ratio of UV-A protection to UV-B protection in sunscreens. However, the number of UV-A filters available for use in cosmetics is extremely limited. Basically, oil-soluble compounds such as butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane or diethylamino hydroxybenzoylhexyl benzoate are used.

[0006] However, to achieve particularly high UV protection, a UV-A filter also needs to be incorporated into the aqueous phase. For these purposes, around 2000, Symrise developed disodium phenyl dibenzimidazole tetrasulfonate (INCI), a compound used as a water-soluble UV-A filter. However, this substance has the drawback of strongly fluorescing in a specific wavelength range. This effect was first observed by attendees in discos, where they glowed bluish under "black light." This fluorescence phenomenon initially rendered the UV filter unsuitable for further use in cosmetics, and numerous research projects were launched to solve this problem. Symrise found the first promising solution using troxerutine. This solution was successfully patented in European Patent No. 2185126.

[0007] Although the combination with troxerutine resulted in a significant attenuation of fluorescence, a weak residual fluorescence still remained, further hindering the use of phenyldibenzimidazole tetrasulfonate disodium in cosmetics. Furthermore, considering the cost of such preparations and their suitability (allergic reactions cannot be ruled out in individual cases), there are reasons to avoid troxerutine.

[0008] Therefore, the object of the present invention was to solve this problem of the prior art and to further reduce the fluorescence of disodium phenyl dibenzimidazole tetrasulfonate (INCI: Disodium Phenyl Dibenzimidazole Tetrasulfonate) in cosmetic preparations without the need to use troxerutin or by reducing the amount used.

[0009] Surprisingly, this challenge is a) Triethanolamine salt of disodium phenyl dibenzimidazole tetrasulfonate (INCI), b) Triethanolamine salt of terephthalylidene dicamphor sulfonic acid (INCI). This is resolved by cosmetic preparations containing [the specified ingredient].

[0039] Official Exam The following formulations were prepared and their fluorescence properties were investigated: [Table 1]

[0040] The fluorescence (color intensity at 365 nm and 312 nm) was determined as follows: First, transfer 3.0 mL of the sample to a glass petri dish (5 cm in diameter). Then, place each petri dish individually on a dark base. Mount a standard DSLR or DSLM camera at a height of 30 cm (here, a Canon PowerShot SX540 HS). Mount a UV lamp in the same way (here, a VL-6.LM365 / 312 2x6W UV lamp 230V EU; set to 365 nm or 312 nm). The images in these examples were created with the following camera settings and serve only as a guideline: ISO 400, F=4.0, self-timer 25 seconds. Evaluate the images using a program that can separate the color channels. In this example, GIMP 2.10.28 was used. The color channels of the image can be separated into RGB colors using a histogram. The evaluation area of ​​the image must be appropriately selected so that only the contents of the petri dish are separated in the histogram. Values ​​for fluorescence are determined based on the blue value at excitation wavelengths of 365 nm or 312 nm.

[0041] Conclusion: Fluorescence and blue color values ​​are reduced by the presence of terephthalylidene dicamphor sulfonic acid and triethanolamine.

[0042] Examples The following examples are intended to clarify the present invention and not to limit it. Unless otherwise specified, all quantity indications, proportions, and percentages are based on the weight and total amount or gross weight of the preparation.
