[0002] Cosmetic hydrodispersions containing alkylamidothiazoles

[0003] The present invention relates to cosmetic hydrodispersions containing alkylamidothiazoles.

[0004] A person's outward appearance can be influenced and enhanced through the use of cosmetic products. Regular use of cleansing and care products ensures that people feel attractive, beautiful, and comfortable in their surroundings, and radiate this outwards.

[0005] People use cosmetic care products for various reasons. One problem customers want to address is unwanted skin pigmentation, which is caused by melanocytes. These pigment-producing cells are located in the stratum basale, the lowest layer of the epidermis, and appear individually or in greater or lesser numbers, depending on skin type.

[0006] Melanocytes can produce the pigment melanin via their melanosomes. Melanin production can be stimulated by UV radiation, among other factors. Melanin is the product of an oxidative process. Here, tyrosine is converted by the enzyme tyrosinase, through various intermediate steps, into the brown to brownish-black eumelanins (DHICA and DHI melanin), or, when sulfur-containing compounds are involved, into the reddish pheomelanin. The melanin produced is then transported into the stratum corneum (corneocytes) of the epidermis, thus giving the skin its brownish to brownish-black color.

[0007] The two eumelanins, DHICA- and DHI-melanin, share the two intermediates donaquinone and donachrome. These two intermediates are also important in the formation of pheomelanin. The expression of melanin-synthesized enzymes is fundamentally controlled by a specific transcription factor (microphthalmia-associated transcription factor, MITF). In addition to the described enzymatic processes of melanin synthesis, other proteins are also important for melagnosis. The p-protein, among others, is thought to play a significant role, although its exact function is not yet fully understood. Besides melanin synthesis, the transfer of melanosomes, their retention in the epidermis, their degradation, and the breakdown of melanin are also crucial for skin pigmentation. The PAR-2 ​​receptor has been shown to play a fundamental role in the transport of melanosomes into keratinocytes (M. Seiberg et al., 2000, J. Cell. Sei)., 113:3093-101). Nevertheless, the appearance of the skin is also influenced by the size and shape of the individual melanosomes, as these affect light scattering. Accordingly, the skin of Black Africans exhibits more large, spheroidal, and solitary melanosomes, while Caucasians tend to have smaller melanosomes occurring in groups.

[0008] Hyperpigmentation of the skin can have various causes. It can occur as a side effect of many biological processes, such as UV radiation (e.g., freckles, ephelides), abnormal pigmentation of the skin during wound healing or scarring (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation), or during skin aging (e.g., lentigines seniles).

[0009] Particularly after inflammatory reactions, the skin's pigmentation system can react with hyper- or hypopigmentation. These reactions frequently occur, for example, in atopic dermatitis, lupus erythematosus, and psoriasis. The appearance of dark circles under the eyes can also be considered a post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. In these cases, however, the underlying inflammation is usually subclinical. Many hyperpigmentation reactions can be exacerbated by exposure to UV radiation.

[0010] To counteract hyperpigmentation, active ingredients and preparations are known that are essentially based on hydroquinone. However, these formulations and preparations are highly controversial because they can potentially cause irreversible changes to the skin's pigmentation system.

[0011] Furthermore, there are known skin-peeling methods, which, however, can lead to inflammation. This, in turn, can result in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

[0012] Furthermore, other substances for skin lightening have already been described. These include, among others...

[0013] A. to mention: Hexadecen-1,16-dicarboxylic acid, Kojic acid, arbutin, ascorbic acid and their derivatives, flavonoids and various resorcinol derivatives, such as 4-n-butylresorcinol, 4-n-heylresorcinol and 4-(1-phenylethyl)benzen-1,3-diol.

[0014] In a publication (Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letter 17 (2007) 6871-6875), JM Ready describes the effect of substituted thiazole derivatives on the inhibition of mushroom tyrosinase. Furthermore, substituted thiazolamines and hydrothiazolamines are described for skin lightening in publication WO 2009099195.

[0015] The substances described in the above-mentioned state of the art are characterized by moderate effectiveness.

[0016] Many skincare products are typically made from emulsions. This term refers to heterogeneous systems composed of two liquids that are either immiscible or only partially miscible. One of the two liquids is dispersed in the other liquid as tiny droplets. From the outside, an emulsion appears homogeneous.

[0017] Stabilizing emulsions plays a crucial role in cosmetics, as it prevents the separation and demixing of one of the two phases and ensures a long-lasting product. For this reason, emulsions are formulated with an emulsifier. Emulsifiers are typically molecules with one polar, hydrophilic structural element and one nonpolar, lipophilic structural element. These structural properties enable emulsifiers to stabilize the two-phase systems.

[0018] Besides the classic emulsion, those skilled in the art are also familiar with so-called hydrodispersions, which consist of an outer aqueous phase and a liquid, semi-solid, or solid inner lipid phase. In contrast to classic emulsions, hydrodispersions are low-emulsifier (less than or equal to 0.1 wt%) or emulsifier-free preparations. The stability of these preparations is achieved through the presence of a gelling agent or thickener, which forms a gel framework in which the inner lipid phase is suspended. Examples of typical gelling agents are homopolymers or copolymers of acrylic acid and / or acrylamide and their derivatives.

[0019] If active ingredients are to be incorporated into a cosmetic preparation and be able to exert their full efficacy, it must be ensured that they are made bioavailable at an effective concentration. In hydrodispersions, which have a high water content, this is not a problem for highly water-soluble active ingredients. However, incorporating poorly water-soluble active ingredients, such as alkylamidothiazoles, into hydrodispersions presents various challenges, including odor stability and light stability of the active ingredient in relation to the formulation. Another problem is that active ingredients like alkylamidothiazoles tend to crystallize in cosmetic preparations. Crystallization of a component in a cosmetic preparation can compromise the quality of the preparation and make the products less appealing to the consumer.If an active ingredient is affected by crystallization, this also has an impact on the effectiveness of the product, as the bioavailability of the active ingredient is reduced.

[0020] In conventional cosmetic preparations, active ingredients are often stabilized and kept in solution by the addition of emulsifiers, thus preventing crystallization. However, due to the chemical structure of the emulsifier molecules, the addition of emulsifiers alters the cosmetic preparation with regard to its skin compatibility and / or sensory properties.

[0021] Furthermore, it is possible to dissolve active ingredients that are not water-soluble by adding ethoxylated solubilizers, so-called PEG derivatives, in particular PEG-hydrogenated castor oil or ethanol. For environmental reasons, the use of polyethylene glycol derivatives is increasingly being avoided. There is a fundamental need for PEG-free preparations containing non-water-soluble active ingredients, such as alkylamidothiazoles.

[0022] Since UV radiation can exacerbate hyperpigmentation reactions, anti-hyperpigmentation agents are often combined with UV sunscreens. It has been shown that emulsifier-free formulations, especially those marketed for sensitive skin, have the disadvantage that UV protection is difficult to adjust. With the same sun protection factor, emulsifier-free preparations are generally characterized by a higher concentration of UV filters compared to conventional emulsions.

[0023] One object of the present invention was to eliminate the disadvantages of the prior art. Consequently, it was an object of the present invention to provide emulsifier-free or low-emulsifier cosmetic preparations that stabilize active ingredients that tend to crystallize. A further object of the present invention was to provide emulsifier-free or low-emulsifier cosmetic preparations containing alkylamidothiazoles and sunscreens, such that none of the active ingredients crystallize.

[0024] Another object of the present invention was to provide emulsifier-free or low-emulsifier cosmetic preparations which serve to lighten human skin.

[0025] Surprisingly for those skilled in the art, it has now been found that the problem of crystallization of alkylamidothiazoles in cosmetic hydrodispersions without the addition of emulsifiers could be solved by the present invention.

[0026] The present invention relates to a cosmetic and / or dermatological preparation in the form of a hydrodispersion comprising a lipid phase and an external aqueous phase containing: a. One or more alkylamidothiazoles b. Hydroxyethyl Acrylate / Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer c.
