Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a composition comprising at least 5% by mass of at least one inorganic UV shielding agent selected from titanium dioxide, based on the total mass of the composition, at least one α-cyanodiphenyl acrylate derivative of a defined formula, and at least one hydroxybenzylidene malonate or 4-hydroxycinnamate derivative of a defined formula. [Background technology]

[0002] The present invention also relates to a cosmetic method for applying a treatment to the skin to protect it from UV radiation using the composition.

[0003] Light radiation with wavelengths between 280 and 400 nm can cause browning of the human epidermis. Light with wavelengths between 280 and 320 nm, known as UVB rays, can cause erythema and burns in the skin, which can be detrimental to the progression of browning. Light with wavelengths between 320 and 400 nm, known as UVA rays, has the power to cause harmful changes in the skin, particularly leading to premature aging through loss of elasticity and the appearance of wrinkles.

[0004] Therefore, UV rays should be blocked. Cosmetic compositions for protecting human epidermis that contain UV shielding agents active in blocking UVA and UVB radiation already exist.

[0005] Mineral pigments and organic shading agents are commercially available as various types of sunscreens to block UVA and UVB rays. These shading agents must be able to absorb or block harmful rays from sunlight while remaining harmless to the user.

[0006] Accordingly, numerous organic sunscreens capable of selectively absorbing harmful UV rays have been proposed in the cosmetics field to date. However, for various reasons, these sunscreens have not been completely satisfactory.

[0007] Therefore, there is an increasingly strong need to avoid the use of such organic shielding agents by prioritizing the use of mineral pigments, which primarily act as sunscreens by scattering / reflecting UV rays, while also providing greater safety for the user.

[0008] In this regard, titanium dioxide is currently the most widely used mineral pigment, and its shielding properties are well known.

[0009] Furthermore, since other mineral-based sunscreens such as zinc oxide are harmful to the environment, it is particularly desirable to propose sun protection products containing titanium dioxide as sunscreens.

[0010] However, in order to obtain a suitable protective coefficient, it is necessary to be able to incorporate TiO2 in a high proportion, particularly 5% by mass or more, into the antisun protection composition.

[0011] However, it has been observed that when TiO2 is used in such concentrations, compositions containing these pigments in an oxygen-free medium become unstable to light, resulting in a blue coloration. This light-induced coloration, also known as photoblueing, is clearly undesirable from an aesthetic standpoint.

[0012] To explain in detail, titanium dioxide, which is used in sunscreens, has semiconductor properties. The photoblueing phenomenon observed when it is exposed to ultraviolet light indicates that a chemical reaction is occurring that can generate free radicals that may cause harmful effects on the skin.

[0013] Therefore, it is desirable to propose a sun protection product that contains titanium dioxide in a high concentration as a standalone sunscreen, providing a high level of protection without causing any photoblueing.

[0014] (Patent Document 1) proposes using deformable hollow particles to limit the photobleaching of a sunscreen composition containing titanium oxide. However, such particles are regarded as microplastics and are undesirable components in sunscreen products.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0016] Therefore, there is a need for an inorganic sunscreen-based composition that is highly efficient and has photo-stability.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0017] In accordance with this, the inventors have found that by introducing a α-cyanodiphenyl acrylate derivative of a defined formula and a hydroxybenzylidene malonate or 4-hydroxycinnamate derivative of a defined formula into a composition containing a TiO2 pigment, the photobleaching inherent in the composition is significantly reduced.

[0018] This discovery forms the basis of the present invention.

[0019] Therefore, one subject of the present invention is, in particular, 1) at least one inorganic UV blocker selected from titanium oxide; 2) the following formula (I):

Chemical Formula

Chemical formula

[0020] The composition according to the invention can block UV rays with high efficiency, thereby protecting the skin better.

[0021] The composition according to the invention has light stability, and a composition containing a pigment of such a titanium oxide species does not show a blue coloration in an oxygen-free medium.

[0022] Furthermore, the composition of the invention is stable over a long period of time.

[0023] Furthermore, the composition of the invention has good workability. It spreads easily and can be applied uniformly without forming a whitish film on the skin.

[0024] Furthermore, the composition of the invention has good cosmetic properties, particularly from the viewpoint of not being overly shiny, not being greasy, and not being sticky after application to the skin.

[0025] The subject matter of the present invention also relates to a cosmetic method for treating skin, particularly human skin, to protect it from UV radiation, the method comprising applying the composition according to the present invention to the skin.

[0026] According to a first specific embodiment, the composition according to the present invention does not contain piseid (polydatin).

[0027] According to a second specific embodiment, when the composition according to the present invention comprises Piseid(Polydatin), 2-ethylhexyl 2-cyano-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-phenylpropenoate, and diethylhexylsyringylidene malonate, the total mass of Piseid(Polydatin), 2-ethylhexyl 2-cyano-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-phenylpropenoate, and diethylhexylsyringylidene malonate is not 3% by mass of the total mass of the composition.

[0028] According to a third specific embodiment, the composition according to the present invention does not contain piseid (polydatin), resveratrol, piceatannol, or pterostilbene.

[0029] According to a fourth specific embodiment, the composition according to the present invention is stilbenoide-free.

[0030] Stilbenoids are by-products in the formation of tree heartwood and possess phytoalexin properties. From a chemical standpoint, they are stilbene derivatives and often contain one or more phenolic functional groups. From a biochemical standpoint, they belong to the group of phenylalanine derivatives, also known as phenylpropanoids. Their biosynthetic pathways are largely shared with those of aromatic chalcones and other aromatic chalcones.

[0031] One of the most well-characterized plant stilbenoids is resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene), a resorcinol derivative first isolated from Veratrum album in 1939, found in the skins of red grapes and other fruits and nuts, including berries and peanuts. Non-limiting examples of stilbenoids include piceatannol, pterostilbene, and mixtures thereof. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0032] Other subjects, features, embodiments, and advantages of the present invention will become even clearer by reading the following description and examples.

[0033] In the following text, unless otherwise specified, boundary values ​​of a range are included within that range, particularly expressions such as "between ~" and "from ~ to ~".

[0034] Furthermore, as used herein, the expressions "at least one" and "at least" are equivalent to the expressions "one or more" and "more than or equal to," respectively.

[0035] The degree of sun protection, as determined by the ultraviolet protection factor (SPF), is expressed numerically as the ratio of the exposure time required to reach the erythema threshold with UV protection to the exposure time required to reach the erythema threshold without UV protection.

[0036] This can be evaluated in vivo, in particular, in accordance with the ISO 24444 method.

[0037] This can also be measured according to the in vitro method described in BLDiffey in J.Soc.Cosmet.Chem. 40, 127-133, (1989).

[0038] For the purposes of this patent application, the term “highly efficient shielding composition” refers to a composition capable of achieving an ultraviolet protection factor (SPF) value of at least 30, preferably at least 50.

[0039] The appearance of blue light, to varying degrees, is observed while the composition is exposed to light. The evaluation principle consists of exposing the test specimen to an irradiation source whose spectral distribution is well defined and whose emitted energy is well quantified. A CPS-Sun-Test apparatus is used, and irradiation is performed with a xenon lamp in the 300-800 nm range.

[0040] Next, photoblueing can be evaluated with the naked eye.

[0041] Photoblueing can also be evaluated by colorimetric values ​​measured using a Minolta CM1000 colorimeter: the first measurement is recorded immediately before exposure to UV (T0), and the second is recorded one hour after exposure to UV (T1H).

[0042] The results are expressed in the (L, a, b) system, where L represents brightness, a represents the red-green axis (-a = green, +a = red), and b represents the yellow-blue axis (-b = blue, +b = yellow).

[0043] The values ​​of interest in evaluating photoblueing are Δb, which indicates the change in blue color; ΔL, which indicates the darkening of the composition; and ΔE, which indicates the change in the overall color. More precisely, Δb and ΔL are given by Δb = b T1H -b T0 and ΔL=L T1H -L T0 It is defined as follows. The smaller the value of Δb, the greater the protective effect against photoblueing. ΔE can be calculated from the changes ΔL, Δa, and Δb according to the following formula:

number

[0044] The term "stable over a long period of time" according to the present invention refers to a state in which, even after storing the composition at a temperature in the range of 4°C to 45°C for one month, preferably two months, no macroscopic changes are observed in color, odor, or viscosity, the pH remains unchanged, and the microscopic appearance also remains unchanged.

[0045] The compositions according to the present invention are intended for topical application and therefore contain physiologically acceptable media. The term "physiologically acceptable media" as used herein means media that are compatible with keratinic substances.

[0046] In relation to the present invention, the term "keratinous material" means, in particular, keratin fibers such as skin, scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows, head hair, and body hair, nails, and mucous membranes such as lips, and more specifically, skin (of the body, face, area around the eyes, or eyelids, preferably of the body or face).

Mix the components of the aqueous phase without heating. Add the alcohol. The fatty phase and the aqueous phase are emulsified without heating.

[0138] Procedure for evaluating photoblueing The principle of this test consists of exposing the test specimen to an illumination light source whose spectral distribution is well defined and whose emitted energy is well quantified. A commonly used light source is a xenon lamp: - A platinum-plated quartz filter that deflects the direction of infrared radiation and removes it through the top of the device; - And by absorbing short-wavelength ultraviolet light, it is emitted through a glass filter, which makes it possible to simulate the radiation received through a presentation window. Use the CPS Sun-Test device: - Irradiance between 300 and 800 nm from a xenon lamp is 765 W / m². 2 Set to (the value set by the manufacturer); - Separation using optical filters is performed using quartz filters and special glass plates with IR coating.

[0139] Next, observe the color of each flask with the naked eye before and after exposure to light.

[0140] [Table 1]

[0141] [Table 2]

[0142] Composition D according to the present invention, which contains a combination of an α-cyanodiphenyl acrylate derivative (Oxynex ST) and a 4-hydroxybenzylidene malonate or 4-hydroxycinnamate derivative (Solastay S1), does not show significant photoblueing after being exposed to light for 2 hours in a clear glass flask, in contrast to comparative compositions A to C, which either do not contain either the α-cyanodiphenyl acrylate derivative (Oxynex ST) or the 4-hydroxybenzylidene malonate or 4-hydroxycinnamate derivative (Solastay S1), or contain only one of the α-cyanodiphenyl acrylate (Oxynex ST) and the 4-hydroxybenzylidene malonate or 4-hydroxycinnamate derivative (Solastay S1).

[0143] Therefore, by using a combination of α-cyanodiphenyl acrylate derivatives and 4-hydroxybenzylidenemalonate or 4-hydroxycinnamate derivatives, it becomes possible to significantly reduce photoblueing of compositions containing titanium dioxide.
