Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a self-reversible inverse latex containing a novel metal ion sequestering agent, to a method for preparing the self-reversible inverse latex, to the use of the self-reversible inverse latex as a thickening agent and / or emulsifying agent and / or stabilizer for preparing a topical cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition, and also to the composition thus prepared.

Background Art

[0002] Polymers are widely used today in topical cosmetic formulations and represent the second most widely used group of products in this type of formulation. Cosmetic compositions contain a polar phase, for example a phase consisting of water, and in most cases require the use of a rheology-modifying polymer in order to increase the viscosity of these polar phases and also to impart a well-defined rheological behavior.

[0003] Among the rheology-modifying polymers for polar phases, natural polymers or synthetic polymers, in particular linear or branched, crosslinked or non-crosslinked, anionic or cationic or amphoteric polyelectrolyte-type polymers may be mentioned. These polymers, once introduced into the polar phase, have the property of spreading under the influence of electrostatic repulsive forces due to the presence of (negative and / or positive) charges on the linear or branched or crosslinked polymer backbone. The rheology modifier provides both an increase in the viscosity of the polar phase and also a certain consistency and / or stabilizing effect in the thickened cosmetic, skin cosmetic or skin pharmaceutical formulation.

[0004] To meet consumer needs and to improve topical cosmetic formulations, scientists have developed new, innovative and diverse polymer systems. Thus, polymers used in topical cosmetics or dermatologicals can act as film formers, rheology modifiers, enable the stabilization of the fatty phase in emulsions and cream gels or the stabilization of particles (pigments or fillers), or impart specific sensory properties (e.g., softness to the touch, ease of handling and application, freshness effect, etc.) after application to the skin and can also directly influence the appearance of the formulation (translucent or opaque).

[0005] Rheology-modifying polymers for the aqueous phase, mainly polyelectrolytes, result from the radical polymerization of (meth)acrylate-type monomers, i.e., esters derived from acrylic or methacrylic acid, or derivatives of acrylamide.

[0006] Today, these polymers, which can be in the form of inverse latex, concentrated inverse latex, or powder, enable the satisfaction of customer needs from the viewpoint of thickening performance in polar solvents such as, for example, water. The aqueous gels obtained once these polymers are dispersed in water are particle- and lump-free, have specific sensory properties when touched, a smooth appearance, and also ease of handling and application.

[0007] The liquid form, or its concentrated liquid form, known by the name "self-reversible inverse latex", is a composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion and - an aqueous phase containing, in itself, at least one polymer of the linear and / or branched and / or crosslinked anionic, or cationic, or amphoteric polyelectrolyte type, - a fatty phase containing at least one oil, - at least one oil-in-water type emulsifying surfactant (S 1 ), - at least one water-in-oil type emulsifying surfactant (S 2 ) and contains the polymer is obtained using an inverse emulsion radical polymerization process.

[0008] Free radical polymerization is known for its sensitivity to the presence of impurities, even in small amounts. Compounds that can cause a decrease in the rate of polymerization at low concentrations are known as inhibitors or retarders. However, the distinction between these two effects is not always straightforward, and the same compound can have both detrimental contributions depending on its concentration in the medium or the nature of the monomer and the reaction medium. The reproducible performance of thickening polymers for the aqueous phase must be ensured in order to guarantee the consistent quality of topical cosmetic formulations containing these polymers. For this purpose, industrial manufacturers must ensure that the polymerization reaction follows the same kinetics, more specifically with respect to the inhibition time, the temperature rise profile (°C / min), and the total duration of the polymerization reaction over time. Considering these constraints, factors that can affect the initiation of radical polymerization reactions, such as the presence of oxygen, which can retard the polymerization reaction by reacting with the generated radicals, are particularly noteworthy. These new peroxide radicals exhibit lower reactivity because their initiating ability is reduced. This results in lower initiation steps and lower growth reaction rates, and ultimately leads to polymers with different thickening properties. Therefore, it can be seen that, among other things, the step of deoxygenating the medium by purging with nitrogen before initiating the polymerization reaction is necessary.

[0009] Another factor that directly affects polymerization is, similarly, the presence of metal species (Fe 2+ 、Fe 3+ 、Cu 2+ 、…) that generate an inhibitory effect. In this case, inhibition can occur during the initiation stage by the reaction of the initiating radicals with the metal impurities, as a result of which the active radical centers can no longer fix another monomer unit and become inactive during polymerization.

[0010] The metal ions described above can potentially be derived from raw materials or equipment.

[0011] The monomers used for the preparation of self-reversible inverse latex may have trace amounts of metal cations. Similarly, it is not impossible to predict the presence of metal contaminants in industrial equipment undergoing polymerization reactions. In most cases, the equipment is made of stainless steel (commonly referred to as such), and there are several different types of stainless steel according to their composition. Stainless steel is an iron-based alloy to which nickel, chromium, or in some cases molybdenum is added. In the presence of oxygen, chromium gives stainless steel its antioxidant properties because it can regenerate its surface chromium oxide layer, which is itself called a passive layer.

[0012] However, in the presence of a pollution source, acid, moisture, long-term contact with spray or iron-bearing dust, or in the case of deep scratches, it is not impossible for the protective layer to become depassivated (and thus activated) at that time, and the stainless steel will oxidize more rapidly than it can protect itself. In these cases, the appearance of rust can allow an understanding of which rust is the source of iron-based metal contaminants.

[0013] Considering the risks associated with the presence of all these sources of metal contaminants, the use of metal ion sequestering agents is absolutely necessary. A commonly used product is the pentasodium salt of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (brand name Versenex TM 80, also known as).

[0014] However, changes in European regulations regarding the classification of the pentasodium salt of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid have led to the search for alternative solutions as metal ion sequestering agents for the preparation of self-reversible inverse latex. Summary of the Invention Problems to be Solved by the Invention

Examples

[0067] The following examples illustrate the invention but do not limit it.;

[0068] 1 - Example 1.1 An inverse latex (LI) containing a crosslinked homopolymer of an ammonium salt of acrylic acid containing ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid in trisodium salt form as a metal ion sequestering agent 1 Preparation While stirring, charge a beaker with the following: - 250 grams of deionized water, - 250 grams of high-purity acrylic acid, - 125 grams of an aqueous ammonia solution at 30% by weight, - 0.62 grams of a commercially available solution containing 35% by weight of ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid in trisodium salt form (brand name Natriquest™ E30), - 0.139 grams of copper sulfate pentahydrate (i.e., an amount of 160 mol ppm relative to the total number of moles of acrylic acid), - 0.71 grams of triallylamine

[0069] Adjust the pH of the aqueous phase to 5.5 and make the solution up to 682 grams with deionized water.

[0070] Prepare the organic phase simultaneously: - 250 grams of isohexadecane - 15 grams of Montane TM 80 VG - 10 grams of Hypermer TM 6212 (1) (1): Hypermer TM 6212 is an oil-in-water surfactant derived from polyisobutylene succinic anhydride.

[0071] Gradually introduce the aqueous phase into the organic phase and then subject it to vigorous mechanical stirring using an Ultra-Turrax sold by IKA. Transfer the resulting emulsion to a polymerization reactor. Bubble the emulsion with nitrogen quite vigorously for 45 minutes to remove oxygen and cool the medium to a temperature of approximately 5 - 6 °C.

[0072] ​Subsequently, 0.11 g of AIBN and cumene hydroperoxide solution (0.08 g in 5 ml of isooctadecane) are introduced.

[0073] After sufficient time for good homogenization of the solution, an aqueous solution of sodium metabisulfite (0.1 g in 25 ml of water) is then added at a rate of 0.5 ml / min. During this addition, the temperature in the polymerization reactor is raised to the final polymerization temperature. The reaction medium is then maintained at this temperature for approximately 90 minutes. The entire mixture is cooled to a temperature of approximately 35 °C. 37.5 g of Montanox 80 is added to the emulsion, in the same manner as 12.5 g of Simulsol OL50.

[0074] The resulting product is referred to as (LI 1 )

[0075] 1.2 Preparation of an inverse latex containing a crosslinked homopolymer of the ammonium salt of acrylic acid containing sodium diethylenetriaminepentaacetate as a metal ion sequestering agent A solution of ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid in the trisodium salt form of 0.62 grams is replaced with a commercially available solution containing 40 wt% sodium diethylenetriaminepentaacetate sold under the brand name Versenex TM 80, and the same protocol as in Example 1.1 is carried out, except for this replacement.

[0076] The resulting product is referred to as (LI 2 )

[0077] 1.3 Preparation of an inverse latex (LI 3 ) containing a crosslinked homopolymer of the ammonium salt of acrylic acid containing glutamic acid, N,N - diacetic acid, tetrasodium salt as a metal ion sequestering agent A solution of ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid in the trisodium salt form of 1.24 grams is replaced with 0.62 grams of the brand name Dissolvine TMExcept for replacing with a commercial solution containing 47 wt% glutamic acid, N,N-diacetic acid, tetrasodium salt sold as GDA 47-S, the same protocol as in Example 1.1 is implemented.

[0078] The product is referred to as (LI 3 ).

[0079] Considering the reported low exothermicity, the reaction was not complete, so this test was not analyzed.

[0080]

Table 1

[0081] Test (LI 3 ) demonstrates a lower efficiency of glutamic acid, N,N-diacetic acid, tetrasodium salt (brand name Dissolvine TM sold as GLDA 47-S) despite its higher chelating ability (29.92 grams of Cu / 1 gram of metal ion sequestering agent [1]) than that of ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid in trisodium salt form (6.59 grams of Cu / 1 gram of metal ion sequestering agent [2]). This is because when added prior to polymerization under higher stoichiometric conditions, glutamic acid, N,N-diacetic acid, tetrasodium salt allows the initiation of the polymerization reaction but only enables an increase in exothermicity of only 17 °C, suggesting that there is no complete conversion of the monomers. This process, therefore, does not proceed in a manner similar to the processes of tests (LI 1 ) and (LI 2 ), and the resulting self-reversible inverse latex does not allow gels to be obtained in solution at 2% and 3%.

[0082] Conversely, test (LI 1 ) using ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid in trisodium salt form as a metal ion sequestering agent makes it possible to achieve a self-reversible inverse latex with thickening properties similar to that of self-reversible inverse latex (LI 2 ).

[0083] Ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid in its trisodium salt form can, therefore, be considered as an alternative to sodium diethylenetriaminepentaacetate for preparing a thickening self-reversible inverse latex containing a chlorinated acrylic acid homopolymer.
