Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure generally relates to cosmetic ingredients, and more specifically, to cosmetic ingredients containing stabilized visual pigments. Prior Technology

[0002] Retinoids are frequently used in the personal care industry due to their biological benefits and efficacy. For example, retinol acts as a regulator of epidermal cell growth, normal cell differentiation, and cell maintenance. However, retinoids are also considered unstable under a range of degradation conditions. When exposed to UV light, retinoids undergo photoreactions such as photoisomerization, photopolymerization, photooxidation, and photodegradation. Retinoids are also sensitive to oxidation and heat, and therefore degrade when exposed to oxygen and high temperatures. In most cases, retinoid degradation leads to a loss of biological efficacy.

[0003] The personal care industry has attempted to address retinoid stability issues through technologies such as retinoid encapsulation, nano-formulation, and the creation of novel retinoid derivatives. For example, retinyl ester derivatives such as retinyl palmitate, retinyl propionate, retinyl acetate, and retinyl retinoate have been successfully developed and used in personal care products. However, this approach is complex and may be difficult to predict whether increased stability will occur. Furthermore, each new retinoid derivative may have its own efficacy and stability characteristics, which may require further specialized research to optimize its use in personal care products. These challenges may lead to increased development and consumer costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In some embodiments, the cosmetic composition disclosed herein comprises: at least one emollient by weight of about 70 wt% to about 85 wt% of total mass, and at least one visual pigment by weight of up to about 0.3 wt% of total mass.

[0005] In some or other embodiments, the cosmetic composition disclosed herein comprises: at least one emollient, comprising about 70 wt% to about 85 wt% of total mass, wherein the at least one emollient comprises at least glyceryl triacetyl ricinoleate, bis-diglyceryl polyacrylamide-2, hydrogenated polyisobutylene, synthetic beeswax, and diisostearyl malate; at least one retinoid, comprising about 0.001 wt% to about 0.3 wt% of total mass, wherein the at least one retinoid comprises at least hydroxypinazone retinate; at least one occlusive agent, comprising about 15 wt% to about 25 wt% of total mass, wherein the at least one occlusive agent comprises at least sunflower seed wax, rice bran wax, squalane, and tocopherol; at least one viscosity reducer, comprising about 0.5 wt% to about 2 wt% of total mass, wherein the at least one viscosity reducer comprises at least dimethyl isosorbide; and at least one emollient, comprising about 0.005 wt% to about 3 wt% of total mass. At least one wetting agent in wt%, wherein the at least one wetting agent contains at least octanediol. Simple Explanation of the Diagram

[0006] none Implementation

[0007] This disclosure generally relates to cosmetic ingredients, and more specifically, to cosmetic ingredients containing stabilized visual pigments.

[0008] As discussed above, the stability of retinoid pigments can be a concern in cosmetic ingredients and other personal care products. Conventional methods for stabilizing retinoid pigments may involve developing complex formulations and even synthesizing and testing novel retinoid pigment derivatives. These difficulties can lead to increased costs.

[0009] This disclosure provides compositions and methods that meet the aforementioned needs while offering related advantages. Specifically, this disclosure shows that cosmetic compositions containing at least one emollient and at least one retinoid pigment can surprisingly maintain retinoid pigment stability over extended post-formulation (storage) periods. For example, the cosmetic compositions of this disclosure can maintain the retinoid pigment concentration within about 10% of the as-formulated concentration for at least about 6 months. Surprisingly, the composition maintains retinoid pigment stability even when stored under heated conditions (40°C) and in the presence of moisture (relative humidity of 60%). The surprising storage stability of the cosmetic compositions described in this invention provides extended shelf life and potentially higher activity in the hands of consumers. Furthermore, because storage degradation and its impact on efficacy need not be considered, it is possible to formulate cosmetic compositions according to this disclosure using less retinoid pigment than with other methods. The result is a reduction in costs.

[0010] The cosmetic composition disclosed herein can be produced in various forms. Suitable forms may include, for example, solid, liquid, paste, gel, cream, or similar. A solid form may be particularly desirable. Suitable solid forms may be malleable or non-malleable. In such forms, the cosmetic composition may be aqueous (containing an aqueous fluid) or non-aqueous (without added water). For the solid form of the cosmetic composition, it is particularly desirable to have no added water and to be substantially anhydrous.

[0011] Retinoids are vitamin A derivatives and may be natural or synthetic. Non-limiting examples of suitable retinoids include, but are not limited to, retinol, retinal, retinoic acid, isotretinoin, alitretinoin, etretinate, atratin, adapalene, bexarotene, tazarotene, trifarotene, retinyl esters, retinoic acid esters, and the like. Suitable retinyl esters may include, for example, retinyl palmitate, retinyl propionate, retinyl acetate, the like, or any combination thereof. Suitable retinoic acid esters may include, but are not limited to, hydroxypinazone retinoic acid esters, retinyl retinoic acid esters, the like, or any combination thereof. Retinyl retinoic acid esters may be classified as esters of retinyl esters and retinoic acid.

[0012] In some instances, at least one visual pigment may comprise retinyl ester, retinoic acid ester, or a mixture thereof. In even more specific instances, at least one visual pigment may comprise at least hydroxypinazone retinoic acid ester.

[0013] The cosmetic composition of the present disclosure may comprise one retinoid or more than one retinoid, including any of the foregoing retinoids alone or in any combination. One, two, three, four, five, or more retinoids may be present in the cosmetic composition described herein. When multiple retinoids are present, the multiple retinoids may be present in any ratio relative to each other.

[0014] In the cosmetic composition described herein, at least one retinoid may be present within a range of concentrations. In a non-limiting example, the concentration of at least one retinoid in the cosmetic composition may range from about a1 wt% to about a2 wt% based on the total mass of the cosmetic composition, where a1 and a2 are independently 0.0001, 0.0005, 0.001, 0.005, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, or 25, and where a1 < a2. For example, at least one retinoid may be present in the cosmetic composition in amounts ranging from about 0.0001 wt% to about 25 wt%, or from about 0.001 wt% to about 15 wt%, or from about 0.01 wt% to about 5 wt%, or from about 0.05 wt% to about 0.5 wt%, or from about 0.01 wt% to about 1 wt%, or from 0.001 wt% to about 0.3 wt%, or from about 0.01 wt% to about 0.3 wt%, or from about 0.01 wt% to about 0.1 wt%, or from about 0.05 wt% to about 0.1 wt%. Hydroxypinacolone retinoate may be present in any of the foregoing amounts.

[0015] At least one retinoid may be dispersed (mixed) within at least one humectant in the cosmetic composition disclosed herein. The dispersion of at least one retinoid within at least one humectant may be homogeneous or heterogeneous. The dispersion may be achieved by mixing at least one retinoid and at least one humectant together in a suitable manner, such as by agitating the mixture of at least one retinoid and at least one humectant. Without being bound by theory or mechanism, it is believed that at least one humectant may form a matrix that at least partially surrounds at least one retinoid and confers stability thereto.

[0016] Humectants keep the skin moisturized and are common ingredients in the personal care industry. Due to their function of keeping the skin moisturized, humectants can bring many skin benefits, such as anti-inflammatory properties, anti-itching properties, anti-mitotic properties, wound healing properties, etc. Based on the degree to which humectants help keep the skin moisturized, humectants can be divided into three major categories: moisturizers, emollients, and occlusives. These categories are not mutually exclusive. For example, a given humectant may help keep the skin moisturized in multiple ways and may belong to more than one humectant category. Examples of suitable moisturizers, emollients, and occlusives and their suitable amounts will be further discussed below.

[0017] The total amount of humectants in the cosmetic composition disclosed herein can range from about b1 wt% to about b2 wt% based on the total mass of the cosmetic composition, where b1 and b2 are independently 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 99.5, 99.9, 99.999, or 99.9999, and where b1 < b2. For example, the total amount of humectants in the cosmetic composition can range from about 80 wt% to about 99.999 wt%, or from about 90 wt% to about 99.99 wt%, or from about 95 wt% to about 99.9 wt% based on the total mass of the cosmetic composition.

[0018] The cosmetic composition and at least one humectant can contain at least one moisturizer. A moisturizer is a hydrophilic compound that can help attract water to the skin. If a moisturizer is used, it can be present in an amount ranging from about c1 wt% to about c2 wt% based on the total mass of the cosmetic composition, where c1 and c2 are independently 0.001, 0.005, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, or 5, and where c1 < c2. For example, if present, the amount of at least one moisturizer can range from about 0.001 wt% to about 5 wt%, or from about 0.005 wt% to about 3 wt%, or from about 0.1 wt% to about 1 wt% based on the total mass of the cosmetic composition.

[0019] Non-limiting examples of suitable humectants can include, for example, ethylene glycol, ethylene glycol ethers, sugars, and the like. Suitable ethylene glycols can be in monomeric or polymeric form and include polyethylene glycols and polypropylene glycols, such as PEG 4-200. The number of repeating ethylene oxide or propylene oxide units in the suitable polyethylene glycol and / or polypropylene glycol can range from about 4 to about 200 repeating ethylene oxide or propylene oxide units. Other C2-10 alkane diols applicable herein can include, for example, butanediol, pentanediol, octanediol, and the like. Sugars (some of which are also polyols) are also suitable humectants. Examples of sugars (or sugar sources) applicable herein can include, for example, glucose, fructose, honey, hydrogenated honey, inositol, maltose, mannitol, maltitol, sorbitol, sucrose, xylitol, xylose, hyaluronic acid, hyaluronates (such as sodium hyaluronate), and the like. In certain cases, urea is also a suitable humectant.

[0020] In more specific examples, if a humectant is present in the cosmetic composition, the humectant can comprise one or more of a hyaluronate, a C2-10 alkylene diol, or any combination thereof. In even more specific examples, if a humectant is present, it can comprise sodium hyaluronate, a C6-10 alkylene diol, or any mixture thereof, which can be present in any mass ratio relative to each other. Octanediol is an illustrative C6-10 alkylene diol that can be applicable to the cosmetic compositions disclosed herein. For example, the cosmetic composition can comprise from about 0.05 wt% to about 0.8 wt% of octanediol based on the total mass of the cosmetic composition.

[0021] The cosmetic composition and at least one humectant can contain at least one occlusive agent. An occlusive agent is a compound that can form a barrier layer to help retain skin moisture. If an occlusive agent is used, it can be present in the cosmetic composition in an amount ranging from about d1 wt% to about d2 wt% based on the total mass of the cosmetic composition, where d1 and d2 are independently 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, or 25, and where d1 < d2. For example, if present, the amount of at least one occlusive agent can range from about 5 wt% to about 25 wt%, or from about 8 wt% to about 20 wt%, or from about 12 wt% to about 18 wt%, or from about 15 wt% to about 25 wt% based on the total mass of the cosmetic composition.

[0022] Non-limiting examples of suitable sealants can include, but are not limited to, dimethicone, dimethiconol, sunflower seed wax, mineral oil, rice bran wax, petrolatum, squalane, tocopherol, or any combination thereof. In some examples, there can be at least one sealant and include one or more of sunflower seed wax, rice bran wax, squalane, tocopherol, or any combination thereof. In some examples, at least one sealant can include each of sunflower seed wax, rice bran wax, squalane, and tocopherol, which can be present in any mass ratio relative to each other. For example, a suitable amount of sunflower seed wax can range from about 1 wt% to about 10 wt%, a suitable amount of rice bran wax can range from about 1 wt% to about 8 wt%, a suitable amount of squalane can range from about 1 wt% to about 15 wt%, and a suitable amount of tocopherol can range from about 0.0001 wt% to about 0.001 wt%, each based on the total mass of the cosmetic composition.

[0023] The cosmetic composition and at least one humectant can contain at least one emollient. An emollient is a compound that can help retain moisture in dry, flaky skin. The emollient can be present in the cosmetic composition in an amount ranging from about e1 wt% to about e2 wt% based on the total mass of the cosmetic composition, where e1 and e2 are independently 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, or 85, and where e1 < e2. For example, the amount of at least one emollient can range from about 40 wt% to about 85 wt%, or from about 40 wt% to about 80 wt%, or from about 50 wt% to about 70 wt%, or from about 70 wt% to about 85 wt%, or from about 60 wt% to about 65 wt% based on the total mass of the cosmetic composition.

[0024] An individual emollient in the cosmetic composition can be present in an amount of about 40 wt% or less. In non-limiting examples, an individual emollient can be present in an amount of about 0.01 wt% or greater, or about 0.05 wt% or greater, or about 0.1 wt% or greater, or about 0.5 wt% or greater, or about 1 wt% or greater, or about 2 wt% or greater, or about 5 wt% or greater, or about 10 wt% or greater, or about 20 wt% or greater based on the total mass of the cosmetic composition, provided that the total emollient present is within the above-mentioned range of about e1 wt% to about e2 wt% and the individual emollient is present in an amount of about 40 wt% or less.

[0056] The above samples were tested under two temperature conditions. Each sample was placed in a stabilization chamber maintained at room temperature (25°C ± 2°C) or accelerated (increased) temperature (40°C ± 2°C). Each stabilization chamber was maintained at a relative humidity of 60% ± 5%. The stability of the retinoid pigment was monitored at different time points: initially, after one month, two months, three months, and six months. The stability of the retinoid pigment was assessed by removing samples from the stabilization chamber and analyzing hydroxypinazone retinate using UPLC / UV-VIS (Waters ACQUITY UPLC H-Class PLUS System with photodiode array (PDA) detector). The analysis used a wavelength of 360 nm. The measured concentrations were approximately [missing information]. [+]10% measurement accuracy. Table 2 below shows the measured concentrations (in wt%) of hydroxypinazone retinate at the selected sampling intervals. Due to some initial degradation of the raw material hydroxypinazone retinate, the initial and subsequent concentrations are believed to deviate from the expected values ​​by 0.1 wt%. Table 2 Sample 1 (wt%) Sample 2 (wt%) Sample 3 (wt%) Time point 25°C 40°C 25°C 40°C 25°C 40°C initial 0.087 0.087 0.091 0.091 0.091 0.091 1 month 0.090 0.088 0.089 0.090 0.091 0.092 3 months 0.094 0.090 0.092 0.092 0.098 0.095 6 months 0.090 0.085 0.091 0.085 0.095 0.086

[0057] After 3 and 6 months of stability testing, the visual appearance of the samples did not change significantly compared to their initial visual appearance. There were no changes in color, color vibrancy, pungent odor, surface blistering, spots, or similar characteristics. Furthermore, the visual appearance of samples aged at different test temperatures was not different. As shown in Table 2, the concentration of hydroxypinazone retinyl ester remained essentially constant within the measurement accuracy during the 6-month testing period.
