Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the use of polymers to enhance the absorption of UV and / or blue light of one or more UV and / or blue light filters. The polymer comprises one or more synthetic polymer units, each containing a repeating unit of the structure of formula (1). [ka]

[0002] Furthermore, the present invention relates to a sunscreen composition comprising the polymer, one or more UV and / or blue light filters, and one or more cosmetically acceptable carriers. [Background technology]

[0003] Exposure to sunlight has beneficial effects, such as promoting vitamin D production and causing a tan. However, UV-B rays with wavelengths below 315 nm can cause erythema (redness of the skin, commonly known as sunburn) if the intensity is too high or the exposure time is too long. It can also cause severe tissue damage, such as actinic keratosis and skin cancer. Furthermore, it may accelerate skin aging.

[0004] Therefore, protection from sunlight is often desired, especially for areas of skin not covered by UV-protective clothing.

[0005] Numerous sunscreen formulations have been known for several decades. Typically, such compositions include one or more UV and / or blue light filters, such as UV filters. For example, as shown in Patent Document 1 (WO2010 / 043588) and Patent Document 2 (WO2019 / 096960), many UV and / or blue light filters of various compositions are known in the art. Such UV and / or blue light filters can be classified in various ways, as shown in Patent Document 1, including bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine, oil-soluble organic UV absorbers, sparingly soluble organic UV absorbers, inorganic UV absorbers, and water-soluble UV absorbers.

[0006] The sun protection effects of conventionally known UV filters and / or blue light filters are not always satisfactory. At typical concentrations, the sun protection effect (e.g., a high SPF value) is limited. Therefore, in many cases, a very large amount of UV and / or blue light filters are needed to achieve the desired SPF value of over 30.

[0007] In many cases, UV filters and blue light filters that are relatively effective per unit of use and require less use tend to have low biodegradability. On the other hand, when good biodegradability is required, it is often necessary to compromise on sun protection effectiveness or to use a larger amount. In other words, it is difficult to provide a composition that has both high biodegradability and high sun protection effectiveness (e.g., a high sun protection index (SPF)).

[0008] Furthermore, in the case of particulate UV and / or blue light filters made of inorganic materials, it is relatively difficult to apply large quantities of such materials evenly to the skin, which can cause undesirable white patches on the skin. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0009] [Patent Document 1] WO2010 / 043588 [Patent Document 2] WO2019 / 096960 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0010] Therefore, the need to improve the effectiveness of UV and / or blue light filters remains unmet. In particular, there is a desire to provide a sun protection composition that is highly biodegradable, without the addition of accelerator components, and has equivalent or better sun protection effectiveness compared to conventional compositions containing UV and / or blue light filters. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] Surprisingly, polymers containing one or more synthetic polymer units that include repeating units of the structure of formula (1) were found to increase the UV and / or blue light absorption of one or more UV and / or blue light filters, significantly improving their sun protection effect. Even more surprisingly, compositions with such excellent sun protection effects were found to also possess relatively high biodegradability.

[0012] One aspect of the present invention relates to the use of polymers comprising (or consisting of) the following for enhancing the absorption of UV and / or blue light of one or more UV and / or blue light filters: (i) One or more synthetic polymer units including (or consisting of) the following: (a) Repeating units of the structure of equation (1): [ka] (In the formula, R 1 and R 2 A is independently selected from H, methyl, or ethyl; A is linear or branched C1-C 12 -It is an alkyl group; and Q +This is a cation that is acceptable for use in cosmetics. (b) Optionally, one or more bridge or branch units; and, (c) Optionally, one or more additional repeating units that are different from both the repeating units of the structure of formula (1) and the bridging or branching units; and (ii) One or more water-soluble and / or water-swellable polysaccharide polymer units.

[0013] Such polymers, comprising one or more synthetic polymer units containing repeating units of the structure of formula (1), when added to compositions containing UV and / or blue light filters, result in a significant improvement in sunscreen effectiveness. The present invention makes it possible to increase the UV and / or blue light absorption of a UV and / or blue light filter in a composition comprising at least one UV and / or blue light filter and any one or more cosmetically acceptable additional components. The polymers used in the present invention can enhance sunscreen effectiveness by increasing UV and / or blue light filter absorption, thereby affecting the skin-applicability of sunscreen products. Improved blue light absorption of UV and / or blue light filters typically leads to an improvement in the sun protection index (SPF) of the composition. Surprisingly, it has also been found that the compositions of the present invention exhibit good biodegradability.

[0014] The present invention relates to a method for preventing sunburn, comprising the following steps: (I) Steps to prepare the following compositions: (a) One or more polymers containing (or consisting of) the following: (i) One or more synthetic polymer units including (or consisting of) the following: (a) Repeating units of the structure of equation (1): [ka] (In the formula, R 1 and R 2 A is independently selected from H, methyl, or ethyl; A is linear or branched C1-C 12is an -alkyl group; and Q + is a cosmetically acceptable cation); and (b) optionally, one or more crosslinking or branching units; and (c) optionally, one or more additional repeating units different from both the repeating unit of the structure of formula (1) and the crosslinking or branching units; and (ii) one or more water-soluble and / or water-swellable polysaccharide polymer units; (b) one or more UV and / or blue light filters; and (II) a step of applying the composition of step (I) to a surface of a subject exposed to sunlight (preferably a skin surface), wherein the UV and / or blue light absorption of the composition of step (I) is higher than the UV and / or blue light absorption of an equivalent composition that does not comprise the one or more polymers.

[0016] The present invention further relates to a method for enhancing UV and / or blue light absorption of a composition comprising one or more UV and / or blue light filters. The method comprises a step of mixing one or more polymers with the composition: wherein the one or more polymers comprise (or consist of): (i) one or more synthetic polymer units comprising (or consisting of): (a) a repeating unit having the structure of the following formula (1):

[0026] Weight average molecular weight: M w The weight-average molecular weight is determined by the following formula: [ka] M n In comparison, M w This method takes the molecular weight of the chain into account when determining its contribution to the average molecular weight. The larger the chain, the greater the contribution of the chain to the average molecular weight. w It contributes to this.

[0027] The polydispersity index (PDI) is used as a measure of the breadth of the molecular weight distribution of a polymer and is determined by the following formula.

"Unit" refers to a monomer that has already been polymerized, i.e., is part of a polymer.

[0034] In this specification, the term “polymer” is understood in its broadest sense as a chemical substance produced by the polymerization of two or more monomers. The term “polymer” includes not only natural polymers but also all materials synthesized by the polymerization of monomers. A polymer made from only one type of monomer is called a homopolymer. In this specification, a polymer contains at least two monomers. A polymer made from two or more different types of monomers is called a copolymer. The distribution of different monomers can be random, alternating, or blocky (block copolymer). It is understood that the copolymerized portion of a polymer can also be combined with blocks of one or more polymer units.

[0035] In this specification, “UV and / or blue light filter” means a substance intended to protect the skin exclusively or primarily from UV and / or blue light by absorbing, reflecting, and / or scattering UV and / or blue light. Preferably, it means a substance intended to protect the skin exclusively or primarily from UV and / or blue light by absorbing UV and / or blue light and optionally reflecting and / or scattering UV and / or blue light.

[0036] As used herein, “UV light filter” (also referred to as “UV filter” or “UV-filter”) may mean a substance intended solely or primarily to protect the skin from ultraviolet light by absorbing, reflecting, and / or scattering ultraviolet light. Preferably, a UV light filter may mean a substance intended to protect the skin from ultraviolet light by absorbing ultraviolet light and, if necessary, reflecting and / or scattering it. A UV light filter may also be an ultraviolet filter in the sense defined in EU Cosmetics Regulation 1223 / 2009. In a preferred embodiment, as used herein, a UV light filter can be understood as any material that absorbs (and optionally reflects and / or scatters) light in the ultraviolet region, in other words, any material that absorbs ultraviolet light. As used herein, ultraviolet light has a wavelength range of less than 400 nm, preferably 100 to 399 nm. Ultraviolet light may be UV-A light (wavelength range 320 to 399 nm), UV-B light (wavelength range 290 to 319 nm), and / or UVC light (wavelength range less than 290 nm, preferably 100 to 289 nm). In a preferred embodiment, ultraviolet light is UV-A light and / or UV-B light.

[0037] In this specification, a blue light filter may mean any substance that is intended, or primarily intended, to protect the skin from blue light radiation by absorbing, reflecting, and / or scattering blue light. Preferably, a blue light filter may mean any substance that is intended, or primarily intended, to protect the skin from blue light radiation by absorbing blue light and optionally reflecting and / or scattering blue light. In a preferred embodiment, in this specification, a blue light filter may mean any substance that absorbs (and optionally reflects and / or scatters) light in the blue range, in other words, any substance that absorbs blue light. In this specification, blue light is light in the wavelength range of 400 to 490 nm.

[0038] In this specification, “biobase content” is recorded in Method B of ASTMD6866-12 (see Section 3.3.9 of ASTMD6866-12). In this specification, “biobase carbon content,” “biobase content,” “biogenic carbon content,” “biobase content,” and “carbon derived from biomass” refer to the same thing and are all measured in weight percent. In this specification, the term “biobase carbon content” is used. The results of Method B of ASTMD6866-12 report the percentage of biobase carbon content relative to total carbon, not the total mass or molecular weight of the sample.

[0039] Explanation of the calculation of bio-based carbon content: The current method B of ASTMD6866-12 (see section 9 of ASTMD6866-12) requires reporting the modern carbon percentage (pMC) multiplied by a correction factor of 0.95 due to excess carbon-14 in the atmosphere resulting from nuclear tests. However, excess carbon-14 in the atmosphere 14 Due to the continuous decrease in CO2 levels, revisions to Method B of ASTMD6866-12 are underway to update the correction factor to 0.98.

[0040] For accuracy, a new correction factor of 0.98 is often reported in this field, for example, by suppliers. Generally, results with less than approximately 20% biobase carbon are unaffected. However, for results close to 100%, using a factor of 0.98 instead of 0.95 will increase the biobase carbon by approximately 2-3%. For results between approximately 20% and 90%, the increase will be 0-3%. Therefore, the term "biobase carbon content," as used herein, is defined by the following formula: Biobase carbon content = pMC × 0.95 (%).

[0041] A review of methods for measuring the bio-based carbon content of biomass-based chemicals and plastics is provided by Masao Kunioka, Radioisotopes, 62, pp. 901-925 (2013) (Non-Patent Literature 7).

[0042] Description of the advantages provided by the present invention As described above, the polymers defined herein have been found to significantly improve the sun protection effect when added to compositions containing UV and / or blue light filters. The use of the present invention may be to increase the UV and / or blue light absorption of a UV and / or blue light filter in a composition containing at least one UV and / or blue light filter and optionally one or more additional cosmetically acceptable ingredients. This makes it possible to achieve higher UV and / or blue light absorption without increasing the content of one or more UV and / or blue light filters in the composition, or to reduce the content of UV and / or blue light filters while at least maintaining the SFP of the composition.

[0043] The polymers defined herein can be synthesized in a single-step process, rather than through processes requiring multiple synthesis and / or purification steps, such as radical precipitation polymerization in polar solvents, and can therefore be supplied in high-concentration pellet or even powder form. This results in high-concentration and / or well-storable and transportable mixtures when combined with one or more UV and / or blue light filters.

[0313] Example 1 UV and / or blue light absorption effect of polymers Sun protection (SPF) measurement

[0314] Preparation of test mixtures As shown in Table 2 below, different test mixtures ("SPF30-based formulations") each containing 1.0% by weight of the polymer were prepared.

[0315] [Table 2]

[0316] Phase A was mixed while stirring at 80°C. Phase B was thoroughly mixed and heated to 80°C. Subsequently, Phase B was added to Phase A and stirred thoroughly at 400 rpm for 5 minutes. Phase C was added to the mixture of Phases A and B, and the resulting mixture was homogenized at 140,000 rpm for 2 minutes. The resulting "SPF30 base formulation" was cooled to room temperature.

[0317] The test mixture, "SPF30-based formulation," used different polymers. These are identified in Table 3 below.

[0318] In vitro testing (SPF measurement) Materials and methods: The ultraviolet diffusion transmission spectra of substrates before and after sunscreen application were measured using a Labsphere (trademark registered) UV-2000S transmittance meter. A poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) plate was used to obtain a blank transmission spectrum in the 290-400 nm range. The aforementioned test mixture "SPF30 base formulation" was used as the sunscreen. It was lightly rubbed onto the entire surface with a fingertip. To ensure uniformity of the formulation, the sample was left to stand in the dark at room temperature for 15 minutes. A total of nine ultraviolet transmission spectra (290-400 nm, in 1 nm increments) were recorded at different positions on each plate.

[0319] result: The results obtained for the "SPF30 base formulation" of the test mixture corresponding to the various polymers mentioned above are shown in the table below.

[0320] [Table 3]

[0321] C1 to C4 are comparative experiments, and Exp.1 is based on the present invention. Surprisingly, it was found that when the polymer according to the present invention is combined with a UV and / or blue light filter, the absorption of UV and / or blue light increases particularly significantly.
