Description

【Technical Field】 【0001】 The present disclosure generally relates to fragrance compositions. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to aqueous fragrance compositions. 【Background Art】 【0002】 Fragrances have been used for thousands of years. The industrial production of essential oils and the synthesis of odorants have improved the availability and scope of application of fragrances. Fragrances generally focus on the creation of new fragrances composed of more than 100 individual components, as well as the fixation of base notes to increase the adhesion and attachment of the fragrance to the user's skin. Other focuses of fragrances are the skin feel brought by the fragrance upon application to the skin and the transparency index of the fragrance solution. 【0003】 Typically, fragrance components are water-insoluble, and thus traditional fragrances use ethanol, other organic solvents, or carrier oils to dissolve the fragrance components. Ethanol is the most used component in the fragrance industry due to many advantages such as rapid evaporation in the atmosphere, cooling of the skin, and providing a very desirable cooling sensation to human skin. On the other hand, due to the nature of ethanol as a volatile organic compound (VOC) and its negative impact on skin integrity, the fragrance industry has been consistently working to partially or completely replace ethanol in fragrances as regulations on VOCs become stricter. More importantly, informed consumers are demanding fragrance products containing less ethanol. 【0004】 The fragrance industry has achieved some success by replacing ethanol in fragrances with other organic solvents. However, the advantages of ethanol cannot be easily realized with other organic solvents. One major drawback of other organic solvents is that their low vapor pressure results in an oily feeling on the skin that impairs fragrance bloom. Another drawback is that other organic solvents can cause staining on the application surface. As described above, there is a need for improved fragrance compositions that are substantially free of ethanol. [Overview of the Initiative] 【0005】 A water-based fragrance composition is provided. The fragrance composition comprises at least one fragrance component, at least one solubilizer, and an acceptable carrier, and is substantially free of ethanol. The at least one solubilizer is selected from the group consisting of PPG-26-buteth-26, PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil, tridecth-9, PPG-20 methyl glucose ether, dipropylene glycol, hydrophilic polymers, and mixtures thereof, and the at least one fragrance component is selected from the group consisting of fragrance oils, esters, terpenes, aldehydes, ethers, lactones, amines, and mixtures thereof. The at least one fragrance oil is present in an amount of about 0.01% to about 25% by weight of the total weight of the composition. The at least one solubilizer is present in an amount of about 0.01% to about 75% by weight of the total weight of the composition, and the ratio of solubilizer to fragrance component is about 10:1 to about 1:10. The fragrance composition further comprises one or more preservatives or boosters. 【0006】 The fragrance composition has a viscosity of less than approximately 100 cps. The fragrance composition is stable at room temperature for at least 8 weeks. 【0007】 Fragrance components have a cLog P value of less than approximately 5. 【0008】 Fragrance compositions are in forms selected from the group consisting of fragrances, perfumes, eau de toilette, eau de cologne, eau de parfum, fragrance mist, and air freshener. Compositions may be sprays or continuous sprays. Compositions can be paired with one or more fragrance accords to obtain personalized fragrance compositions tailored to the needs of individual users. Compositions may further contain particles that provide a sensory experience. [Modes for carrying out the invention] 【0009】 The dimensions and values ​​disclosed herein should not be understood as strictly limited to the exact numerical values ​​listed. Instead, unless otherwise specified, each such dimension is intended to mean both the listed value and the functionally equivalent range surrounding that value. Unless otherwise expressly indicated in the Examples and Comparative Examples, all numbers herein indicating the quantities or ratios of materials or reaction conditions, or the physical properties of materials and / or uses, should be understood as being modified by the word “approximately.” All quantities are given by weight of the final composition unless otherwise specified. 【0010】 As used herein, the term “aqueous fragrance composition” refers to a fragrance composition containing more than approximately 40% water relative to the total weight of the composition. 【0011】 As used herein, the terms “fragrance composition” or “fragrance composition” refer to ordinary fragrance products, but also to other fragrances such as colognes, eau de toilettes, aftershaves, facial tonics, and tonics. 【0012】 The term "fragrance oil" refers to substances known to modify the scent of a product or to provide a scent to a person, including but not limited to essential oils, synthetic fragrances, or mixtures thereof. Essential oils may be odorous substances obtained from plants or spices by physical means, preferably by distillation. 【0013】 As used herein, the terms “spray” or “spray system” refer to a fluid composition that can be released or distributed from an aerosol, sprayer, or the like. 【0014】 As used herein, the term "Log P" value (of a compound) refers to the logarithm of its partition coefficient (P), defined as a specific ratio (cLog P(octanol / water)) of the solute concentrations between two solvents (in the case of a non-ionized solute, between n-octanol and water) (in the two phases of a liquid phase), calculated as Log P(partition coefficient) = Log([organic] / [aqueous]), and indicates the concentration of the solute in the organic and aqueous partitions. cLog P is the calculated Log P value. The higher the cLog P value of a compound, the more hydrophobic the compound is. 【0015】 As used herein, the term “substantially ethanol-free” refers to a composition containing less than approximately 0.001% ethyl alcohol by weight of the composition. According to the FDA, cosmetics that do not contain ethyl alcohol (also known as ethanol or grain alcohol) may be referred to and labeled as “alcohol-free.” Furthermore, in the fragrance industry, the term “alcohol” generally refers to ethyl alcohol, and therefore, in the fragrance industry, the term “substantially alcohol-free” refers to a composition containing less than approximately 0.001% ethyl alcohol by weight of the composition. However, since alcohol can also mean a wide variety of chemical substances in the general chemical community with different names and various effects on human skin, to avoid potential misunderstandings, the term “substantially ethanol-free” is used in this disclosure instead of “substantially alcohol-free.” 【0016】 As used herein, the term "room temperature" refers to a temperature between approximately 20°C and approximately 40°C. 【0017】 The fragrance compositions disclosed herein may comprise at least one fragrance component, at least one solubilizer, and water. 【0018】 The fragrance composition does not need to contain substantially no ethanol. Preferably, the fragrance composition may contain less than about 0.001% ethyl alcohol relative to the total weight of the fragrance composition. 【0019】 In conventional fragrance development, a large amount of water in a composition can reduce the clarity of the fragrance composition, resulting in a cloudy or milky appearance. The fragrance industry is well aware that the higher the water content, the more difficult it is to obtain a stable fragrance composition. The fragrance compositions disclosed herein may contain more than about 40% water relative to the total weight of the composition. In some compositions, the water content may be more than about 50% by weight relative to the total weight of the fragrance composition, while in others it may be more than 60%, 70%, 75%, or 80% by weight. In some special cases, the fragrance composition contains more than 85% by weight relative to the total weight of the fragrance composition. Advantageously, the fragrance compositions are translucent or transparent. 【0020】 The fragrance composition is stable and storable over a wide range of temperatures and conditions. The fragrance composition provides complete olfactory recovery of the fragrance oils, which is associated with long-term olfactory stability. When stored at 40°C, the fragrance composition may remain stable and clear for at least 8 weeks without any precipitation or turbidity. 【0021】 The fragrance composition contains a large amount of water, is substantially free of ethanol, and is in the form of a translucent or transparent composition over a wide range of temperatures and conditions. When applied to the skin, the fragrance composition provides an unexpectedly smooth, silky, non-sticky skin feel with an improved sensation. 【0022】 The fragrance components may include at least one fragrance oil. The fragrance oil may include essential oils, synthetic fragrances, or mixtures thereof. The fragrance oil may be present in an amount ranging from about 0.01% to about 40%, preferably about 0.1% to about 25%, and more preferably about 1% to about 10%, relative to the total weight of the fragrance composition. 【0023】 Fragrance oils may have a cLog P value of less than about 5, preferably less than about 3.1, and more preferably less than about 2.0. It is well understood in the fragrance industry that fragrance oils with a cLog P value greater than 5 are extremely hydrophobic and require additional solubilizers to aid in proper mixing into compositions. 【0024】 Fragrance ingredients may include fragrance oils, esters, terpenes, aldehydes, ethers, lactones, amines, and mixtures thereof. Musk oil, civet, castorium, ambergris, vegetable fragrances, sandalwood oil, neroli oil, bergamot oil, lemon oil, lavender oil, sage oil, rosemary oil, peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, menthol, camphor, verbena oil, citronella oil, coconut oil, sage oil, clove oil, chamomile oil, costus oil, labdanum oil, bloom extract, carrot seed extract, jasmine extract, mimosa extract, narcissus extract, frankincense extract, rose extract, and Cetophenone and its derivatives, dimethylaniline derivatives, naphthalene derivatives, allyl caprate, α-amyl cinnamaldehyde, anethole, anisaldehyde, benzyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl propionate, bomeol, cinnamyl acetate, cinnamyl alcohol, citral, citronellal, cuminaldehyde, cyclamenaldehyde, decanol, ethyl butyrate, ethyl caprate, ethyl syl Nnamete, ethyl vanillin, eugenol, geraniol, exenol, α-hexyl cinnamaldehyde, hydroxycitronellal, indole, isoamyl acetate, isoamyl isovalerate, isoeugenol, linalool, linalyl acetate, p-methylacetophenone, methyl anthranilate, methyl dihydrojasmonate, methyl eugenol, methyl-β-naphthol ketone, methylphenylcarbinyl Fragrance oils that may be used include, but are not limited to, ammonium acetate, musk ketol, muskoxylol, 2,5,6-nonadienal, γ-nonalactone, phenylacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal, β-phenylethyl alcohol, 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanol, γ-undecalactone, undecenal, vanillin, metofluthrin, limonene, γ-terpinene, chalon, helional, or mixtures thereof. 【0025】 Fragrance additives or fragrance oils also include musk oil, civet, castorium, ambergris, vegetable fragrances, sandalwood oil, neroli oil, bergamot oil, lemon oil, lavender oil, sage oil, rosemary oil, peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, menthol, camphor, verbena oil, citronella oil, coconut oil, sage oil, clove oil, chamomile oil, costus oil, labdanum oil, bloom extract, carrot seed extract, jasmine extract, mimosa extract, narcissus extract, frankincense extract, rose extract, acetophenone and its derivatives, dimethylaniline Cinnamal derivatives, naphthalene derivatives, allyl caprate, α-amyl cinnamaldehyde, anethole, anisaldehyde, benzyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl propionate, vomeol, cinnamyl acetate, cinnamyl alcohol, citral, citronellal, cuminaldehyde, cyclamenaldehyde, decanol, ethyl butyrate, ethyl caprate, ethyl cinnamate, ethyl vanillin, eugenol, geraniol, exenol, α-hexyl cinnamaldehyde, hydroxycitronellal (hydroxy It may contain citrolnellal, indole, isoamyl acetate, isoamyl isovalerate, isoeugenol, linalool, linalyl acetate, p-methylacetophenone, methyl anthranilate, methyl dihydrojasmonate, methyl eugenol, methyl-β-naphthol ketone, methylphenylcarbyl acetate, musk ketol, muskoxyl, 2,5,6-nonadienal, γ-nonalactone, phenylacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal, β-phenylethyl alcohol, 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanol, γ-undecalactone, undecenal, vanillin, metofluthrin, or mixtures thereof, bergamot oil, jasmine extract, lavender oil, limonene, γ-terpinene, chalon, helional, or mixtures thereof, limonene, γ-terpinene, chalon, helional, or mixtures thereof.

Phase D was heated to a temperature above 45°C until it melted. 2. Phase B was premixed and added to phase D, and then cooled to room temperature to obtain phase BD. 3. Next, the premixed phase C and phase BD were combined to obtain phase BDC. 4. Phase BDC was slowly added to the pre-mixed phase A while mixing at 500 rpm until the solution went from turbid to clear. 【0046】 The methods described herein may be modified to reduce the particle size of the emulsion by adjusting the mixing rate and mixing ratio. The fragrance oil was measured to have a cLog P value of 2.57, and no significant levels of acid and base were present. The exemplary compositions provided herein are embodiments of stable, clear fragrance compositions that are substantially free of ethanol. 【0047】 [Table 1] * It is sold by IFF under the product name "Happy Different MOD 126". 【0048】 All formulations 1-7 passed the microcontent and standard challenges after 8 weeks. All formulations remained clear and stable. Surprisingly, the preparations were found to be silky smooth after application. Representative skin texture attributes from expert panelists are listed in Table 2 below on a 0-10 rating scale (for smoothness, higher numbers indicate a better experience; for oiliness, higher numbers indicate a worse experience; for stickiness, higher numbers indicate a worse experience). 【0049】 [Table 2] 【0050】 Therefore, formulation 1 provided the best overall experience in terms of smoothness, oiliness, and stickiness, while formulations 4 and 5 also provided a satisfactory experience, but not as good as the experience provided by formulation 1. 【0051】 Example 2: Stability of Formulation 1 The compositions of Formulation 1 were stored for 8 weeks at 4°C, 25°C, and 40°C, respectively. The compositions were observed to remain clear and transparent without any precipitation or turbidity. Their viscosity and pH were also measured, as shown in the table below. 【0052】 [Table 3] 【0053】 All documents referenced herein, including any cross-references or related patents or applications, are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety unless expressly excluded or otherwise limited.
