Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a sunscreen or daily care composition containing at least one UV filter selected from butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane and triazine derivatives, and at least one light stabilizer selected from butyl octyl salicylate, benzotriazolyl dodecyl p-cresol, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, polyester-8, diethylhexyl malonate silingylidene, trimethoxybenzylidene pentanedione, diethylhexyl 2,6-naphthalate, condensed ring cyanoacrylate derivatives and polyester-25, and not containing octocrylene and ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate.

Background Art

[0002] UV irradiation causes harmful effects on human skin. In addition to the acute effect of sunburn on the skin, it is also known that UV irradiation increases the risk of skin cancer. Furthermore, long-term exposure to UV-A and UV-B light may cause phototoxic and photoallergic reactions in the skin and can accelerate skin aging.

[0003] To protect human skin from UV irradiation, there are various sunscreen UV filters (also called UV absorbers) including UV-A filters, UV-B filters and broad-spectrum filters. These filters are added to sunscreen or cosmetic compositions. The UV filter can be either an organic or inorganic, particulate or non-particulate compound, all of which have a high absorption effect in the UV light range. Generally, UV light can be divided into UV-A irradiation and UV-B irradiation. Depending on the position of the absorption maximum, the UV filter can be divided into a UV-A filter and a UV-B filter. When the UV filter absorbs both UV-A light and UV-B light, it is called a broad-spectrum absorber.

[0004] Since 2006, the European Commission has recommended that all sunscreen or cosmetic compositions should have a UV-A protection factor that is at least one third of the indicated sun protection factor (SPF), where the sun protection factor mainly refers to UV-B protection.

[0005] However, the prior art UV filters used in sunscreen or cosmetic compositions have certain drawbacks. In particular, the drawbacks of certain UV filters are mentioned, which tend to isomerize when UV irradiated or become unstable in the presence of other UV filters. As a result, such UV filters lose their protective properties and need to be stabilized in sunscreen or cosmetic compositions. A commonly used stabilizer having UV protection properties is, for example, octocrylene. However, there are additional compounds, i.e., light stabilizers, that stabilize the UV filters in sunscreen or daily care compositions. Thus, there is a need for sunscreen or cosmetic compositions that provide effective UVA and UVB protection.

[0006] Furthermore, the drawbacks of certain UV filters are mentioned, which are often the subject of discussion due to concerns for health and the environment, despite their approved use in sunscreen or cosmetic compositions. The UV filters under discussion are, for example, octocrylene or ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate. Thus, there is a need for daily use sunscreen or cosmetic compositions that are effective in protecting against UV rays in the UV-B and UV-A ranges and do not contain the UV filters under discussion.

[0007] WO2006 / 114381 discloses the use of benzotriazole derivatives for enhancing the photostability of UV absorber systems further comprising organic UV absorbers, such as cinnamic acid esters or dibenzoylmethane derivatives.

[0008] US2003 / 0180230A1 relates to a topically applicable sunscreen composition containing a dibenzoylmethane compound, at least one UV screening 1,3,5-triazine compound, and a photo-stabilizing amount of at least one UV screening amino-substituted 2-hydroxybenzophenone.

[0009] WO2006 / 034968A1 discloses the use of a stabilizer for improving the stability of a cosmetic or dermatological composition containing at least one dibenzoylmethane derivative and at least one amino-substituted 2-hydroxybenzophenone derivative.

[0010] US2003 / 0161793A1 relates to a topically applicable sunscreen composition that does not contain p-methylbenzylidene camphor and contains at least one UV screening dibenzoylmethane compound and at least one UV screening amino-substituted 2-hydroxybenzophenone.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0037] Before describing the preferred embodiments of the present invention in detail, important definitions for understanding the present invention are shown.

[0038] As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms "a", "an", and "the" also include the plural, unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. In the context of the present invention, the terms "about" and "approximately" describe an interval of accuracy that a person skilled in the art would understand to still guarantee the technical effects of the feature in question. This term typically indicates a deviation of ±20%, preferably ±15%, more preferably ±10%, and even more preferably ±5% from the numerical value shown. It is understood that the term "comprising" is not limiting. For the purposes of the present invention, the term "consisting of" is considered to be a preferred embodiment of the term "consisting essentially of". When a group below in this specification is defined to include at least a certain number of embodiments, this also means that it preferably encompasses a group consisting of only these embodiments.

[0039] Furthermore, the terms "first", "second", "third", or "(i)", "(ii)", "(iii)", "(iv)", etc. in this specification and the claims are used to distinguish similar elements and are not necessarily used to describe an order or time sequence. It is understood that such terms are interchangeable in appropriate circumstances and that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can operate in other orders than those described or illustrated herein.

[0040] As used herein, the term "free of" in the context of a composition of the invention not containing certain compounds or groups of compounds that may be combined in a collective name means that the composition contains no more than 0.8% by weight of said compound or group of compounds, based on the total weight of the composition. Further, the composition according to the invention preferably contains no more than 0.5% by weight of said compound or group of compounds, and preferably the composition contains no said compound or group of compounds at all. The same definition applies to "does not comprise". Further, when a composition does not contain compound X and compound Y, the term "free of" or "does not comprise" means that the composition must not contain both compound X and Y. In other words, the composition cannot contain a compound selected from X and Y.

[0041] The term "sun protection composition" refers to any topical product that reflects and / or absorbs certain portions of UV radiation. Thus, it is understood that the term "sun protection composition" includes not only sun protection compositions, but also any cosmetic composition that provides UV protection. The term "topical product" refers to a product applied to the skin and can refer to, for example, a spray, lotion, cream, oil or gel. A sun protection composition may include one or more active agents, such as organic or inorganic UV filters, and other components or additives, such as emulsifiers, emollients, viscosity modifiers, stabilizers, preservatives or fragrances.

[0042] The term "daily care composition" refers to any topical product that reflects and / or absorbs certain portions of UV radiation and is used as a daily care product for the human body, such as for the face, body or hair. A daily care composition may include one or more active agents, such as organic or inorganic UV filters, and other components or additives, such as emulsifiers, emollients, viscosity modifiers, stabilizers, preservatives or fragrances.

[0043] As used herein, the term "Sun Protection Factor (SPF)" indicates how well the skin is protected mainly from UV-B irradiation by a sunscreen composition. In particular, this factor indicates how much longer protected skin can be exposed to the sun without sunburn compared to untreated skin. For example, when a sunscreen composition with an SPF of 15 is uniformly applied to the skin of a person who would normally sunburn after 10 minutes in the sun, this sunscreen allows a person skilled in the art to stay in the sun 15 times longer. In other words, SPF 15 means that when the sunscreen is applied in a uniform thickness at a dosage of 2 milligrams per square centimeter (mg / cm 2 ), the UV irradiation causing sunburn reaching the skin is reduced to 1 / 15.

[0044] The term "UV filter", as used herein, refers to an organic or inorganic compound that can absorb and / or reflect UV irradiation caused by sunlight. UV filters can be classified based on their UV protection curve as UV-A, UV-B or broad-spectrum filters. In the context of the present application, broad-spectrum filters also provide UV-A protection and may thus be listed as UV-A filters. In other words, preferred UV-A filters also include broad-spectrum filters.

[0045] The term "soluble UV filter" refers to a UV filter having a solubility in the aqueous or oily phase of at least 2% by weight, preferably at least 3% by weight, more preferably at least 5% by weight.

[0046] The particulate UV filters can be further divided into organic particulate UV filters and inorganic particulate UV filters. The organic particulate UV filters are based on organic compounds, while the inorganic particulate UV filters are based on inorganic compounds such as titanium dioxide. The particulate UV filters in the sunscreen composition are present in particulate form because their solubility in the sunscreen composition, i.e., in the water and cosmetic oil contained therein, is less than 0.01% by weight, preferably less than 0.05% by weight. Preferably, the particulate UV filter has a particle size D N 50 determined by light scattering of less than 2000 nm, preferably less than 1000 nm N 50 refers to the particle size value at which half of the population is less than that value and half of the population is greater than that value, i.e., the median value of the particle size volume distribution.

[0047] 1-(4-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)phenyl)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)propane-1,3-dione (INCI butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane) is a soluble organic UV-A filter. It absorbs UV-A irradiation in the range of 320 nm to 400 nm, and the absorption maximum is 357 nm.

[0048] Ethylhexyl-2-cyano-3,3-diphenyl-acrylate (INCI octocrylene) is an oil-soluble organic UV-B filter having an absorption maximum at 302 nm. It provides broad-spectrum UV-B absorbance and is known to be an effective stabilizer for photo-unstable UV filters. Octocrylene is sold by BASF under the trade name Uvinul® N 539 T.

[0049] 2-Ethylhexyl-(2E)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl) acrylate (INCI ethylhexyl methoxy cinnamate (ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate)) is an odorless and colorless UV-B filter with an absorption maximum at 310 nm. It is a good solvent for other crystalline UV filters. Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate is sold by BASF under the trade name Uvinul® MC 80.

[0050] The term "light stabilizer" refers to an organic compound that prevents a UV filter from undergoing a decomposition process upon UV irradiation or by destabilization in the presence of other compounds that can be, for example, another UV filter. Light stabilizers protect the UV filter either by structural or geometrical means or by dissipating energy from the UV filter, thereby reducing the potential for destabilization.

[0051] Butyloctyl salicylate is an ester produced by the synthesis of salicylic acid and 2-butyloctanol. It is sold by Hallstar under the trade name HallBrite BHB®.

[0052] Benzotriazolyl dodecyl p-cresol is sold by BASF under the trade name Tinogard® TL.

[0053] Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate is sold by Hallstar under the trade name SolaStay® S1.

[0054] Polyester-8 is a copolymer of adipic acid and neopentyl glycol with an average MW of approximately 1900 Daltons and having cyanodiphenylpropanoic acid at the ends. It is sold by Hallstar under the trade name Polycrylene®.

[0055] Diethylhexyl malonylidenemalonate is a stabilizer for photosensitive components. It is sold under the trade name Oxynex® ST Liquid by Merck KGaA.

[0056] Trimethoxybenzylidene pentanedione functions as a triplet state quencher. It is sold under the trade name Synoxyl HSS by Sytheon.

[0058] Polyester-25 is a bis-methoxycinnamate / octyldodecyl adipate / methylpropanediol copolymer. It is sold under the trade name SolaStay® P1 by Hallstar.

[0059] The term "condensed ring cyanoacrylate derivative" refers to the compound "Micah" provided by Hallstar. The compound has the following structural formula

[0060] [Chemical formula] based on

[0061] In the context of this application, the compound "Micah" belongs to the group of light stabilizers.

[0062] The term "paraben" refers to a class of preservatives used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions. They are commonly used due to their bactericidal and fungicidal properties. The chemical structure of parabens is based on esters of para-hydroxybenzoic acid or para-hydroxybenzoate, such as methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, or heptylparaben.

[0063] The term "softening agent" relates to cosmetic formulations used to protect, moisturize and lubricate the skin. The term "softening agent" is derived from the Latin word mollire, which means to soften. Generally, softening agents prevent the evaporation of water from the skin by forming a closed coating.

[0064] The definition of "broad-spectrum" protection (also called broad-spectrum or broad-range protection) is based on the "critical wavelength". For broad-spectrum effectiveness, UV-B and UV-A protection must be provided. According to US requirements, a critical wavelength of at least 370 nm is required to achieve broad-spectrum protection. Furthermore, all sunscreen or cosmetic compositions should have a UVA protection index of at least one-third of the indicated ultraviolet protection factor (SPF). For example, if a sunscreen composition has an SPF of 30, the UVA protection index should be at least 10, as recommended by the European Commission.

[0157] In connection with the present invention, the following preferences regarding the use of sunscreen or daily care compositions according to the embodiments listed above are appropriate.

[0158] As shown above, in one embodiment, the present invention relates to the use of a sunscreen or daily care composition as defined above for enhancing the photo-stability of at least one UV filter selected from triazine derivatives.

[0159] In this connection, enhancing the photo-stability of at least one UV filter selected from triazine derivatives means that at least one UV filter selected from triazine derivatives is stabilized by a photo-stabilizer compound so as to prevent the decomposition of the UV filter selected from triazine derivatives upon UV irradiation. The enhancement of the photo-stability of at least one UV filter selected from triazine derivatives can be measured by the recovery rate of at least one UV filter selected from triazine derivatives after a specific irradiation duration via HPLC measurement.

[0160] Those skilled in the art recognize that BMDBM is often used as a UV absorber, which tends to isomerize under irradiation to form a triplet state diketone. This diketone is highly susceptible to photodegradation, leading to the decomposition of BMDBM. Furthermore, the presence of BMDBM has been found to destabilize UV filters selected from triazine derivatives, namely ethylhexyl triazone, diethylhexyl butamidotriazone, trisbiphenyl triazine, and bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine. Therefore, it is necessary to add a stabilizer to the composition containing BMDBM. For example, a photo-stable UV absorber such as octocrylene is commonly used. Surprisingly, the inventors of the present invention have found that in the composition according to the present invention containing a UV filter selected from BMDBM and triazine, the triazine derivative can be stabilized by the photo-stabilizer according to the present invention in a sunscreen composition containing no octocrylene. In other words, this means that the presence of the photo-stabilizer according to the present invention enhances the photo-stability of the UV filters present in the sunscreen or daily care composition according to the present invention, namely BMDBM and the destabilized triazine derivative.

[0161] The present invention is further illustrated by the following examples.
