[0002] FORMULATIONS FOR IMPROVING SCALP MICROBIOME
[0003] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0004] This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 63 / 735,849, filed December 18, 2024, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0005] FIELD
[0006] The presently disclosed subject matter relates to accord compositions for improvement of the scalp microbiome, consumer products, and uses thereof.
[0007] BACKGROUND
[0008] The surface of the scalp and the hair follicle is an ecosystem of various microorganisms, known as the scalp microbiome. These microorganisms are a combination of fungal and bacterial organisms, whose abundance in the optimal ratios is necessary for maintaining scalp health. Common bacteria found on the scalp microbiome include Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis) and Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes), while common fungi comprise the Malassezia yeasts, Malassezia restricta (M reslricla) and Malassezia globosa (M globosa) (Townsend, N., et al. J Clin Aesthet Dermatol. 16(10 Suppl 1):S4).
[0009] Maintaining the microbiome of the scalp is important in preserving the health of the scalp. Environmental factors, such as humidity, air pollution, exercise, and exposure to chemicals, interpersonal factors such as age, sex, ethnicity, and hair washing routine, and general health and diet can all influence the health of the microbiome. An imbalance of the microorganisms in the microbiome can lead to a variety of conditions impacting the scalp. For example, dandruff has previously been linked with a higher incidence of M. restricta and S. epidermidis, as well as lower incidence of C. acnes (Clavaud, C., et al. PLoS ONE 8(3): e58203). These conditions typically result in various symptoms such as scalp flakiness, malodor, and itchiness.
[0010] Accords for use in consumer products, such as shampoos, which target bacteria or fungi on the scalp, would allow consumers to maintain their scalp microbiome. There remains a need in the art for such formulations.

[0059] Accord compositions for improving the health of the scalp microbiome are provided herein. Such accord compositions can be used in consumer products. These and other aspects of the disclosed subject matter are discussed in more detail.
[0060] For clarity and not by way of limitation, this detailed description is divided into the
[0061] ACTIVE 513686434.1 6 Attorney Docket No.: 071950.0475 following sub-portions:
[0062] 1. Definitions;
[0063] 2. Scalp Microbiome;
[0064] 3. Compositions;
[0065] 4. Consumer Products; and
[0066] 5. Methods of Treating the Scalp Microbiome.
[0067] 1. Definitions
[0068] The terms used in this specification generally have their ordinary meanings in the art, within the context of this disclosure and in the specific context where each term is used. Certain terms are discussed below, or elsewhere in the specification, to provide additional guidance to the practitioner in describing the compositions and methods of the disclosure and how to make and use them.
[0069] As used herein, the use of the word “a” or “an” when used in conjunction with the term “comprising” in the claims and / or the specification can mean “one,” but it is also consistent with the meaning of “one or more,” “at least one,” and “one or more than one.”
[0070] Still further, the terms “having,” “including,” “containing” and “comprising” are interchangeable and one of skill in the art is cognizant that these terms are open ended terms.
[0071] The term “about” or “approximately” means within an acceptable error range for the particular value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, which will depend in part on how the value is measured or determined, i.e., the limitations of the measurement system. For example, “about” can mean within three or more than three standard deviations, per the practice in the art. Alternatively, “about” can mean a range of up to 20%, preferably up to 10%, more preferably up to 5%, and more preferably still up to 1% of a given value or within ±20% of a given value, preferably within ±10%, more preferably within ±5%, and most preferably within ±1%. Alternatively, particularly with respect to biological systems or processes, the term can mean within an order of magnitude, preferably within five-fold, and more preferably within two-fold, of a value.
[0072] As used herein, the term “accord” refers to a composition that contains one or more different compounds that creates a specific smell, odor or scent. One or more “accords” can be utilized as part of a composition.
[0073] As used herein, the phrase “consumer product” or “end product” refers to composition that is in a form ready for use by the consumer for the marketed indication. A solvent suitable for use in a consumer product is a solvent that, when combined with other components of the
[0074] ACTIVE 513686434.1 7 Attorney Docket No.: 071950.0475 end product, will not render the consumer product unfit for its intended consumer use.
[0075] 2. Scalp Microbiome
[0076] The scalp microbiome is an environment comprised of various microorganisms. The said microorganisms include a variety of bacteria and fungi in an estimated 3 to 1 ratio of bacteria-to-fungi. For example, as disclosed in the evaluations provided herein the bacterial load is greater than the fungal load on the scalp microbiome. An imbalance in the concentrations of the bacteria and fungi can lead to the decline of scalp health, resulting in a variety of common scalp conditions and diseases. The accord compositions of the present disclosure target at least one fungi or bacteria species on the scalp to alleviate the scalp conditions and diseases.
[0077] Common scalp conditions or diseases which are caused by an imbalance on the scalp microbiome are known in the art. These include conditions or diseases such as alopecia areata, dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, scalp psoriasis, and folliculitis decalvans (Shah, R. R., et al. Arch Dermatol. Res. 316(8):495). As a result of an imbalance of the scalp microbiome, symptoms such as flakiness, itchiness, and malodor of the scalp will develop. In particular embodiments, the accord compositions target at least one bacteria or fungi species on the scalp to improve at least one symptom selected from the group consisting of flakiness, itchiness, and malodor of the scalp.
[0078] The common bacteria of the scalp include bacteria from the Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, and Actinobacteria phyla. Bacteria of the Firmicutes phyla found on the scalp comprise bacteria of the Staphylococcus genera, such as S. epidermidis, bacteria of the Actinobacteria phyla comprise bacteria of the Cutibacterium genera, such as C. acnes, and the Lawsonella genera, such as Lawsonella clevelandensis (L. clevelandensis), and bacteria of the Proteobacteria phyla comprise bacteria of the Pseudomonas genera, such as Pseudomonas Uni (P. Uni) and Pseudomonas antartica (P. an tar ti co) (Watanabe, K., et al. Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 84(12):2585).
[0079] These bacteria, such as S. epidermidis and C. acnes are regularly found on the human skin as part of the microbiome. S. epidermidis, for example, is a coagulase-negative, grampositive bacteria which is the most common bacteria detected on the human epithelia. While it is generally harmless, under certain conditions, such as contamination on a medical device, S. epidermic can cause infections in the human body (Otto, M. Nat Rev Microbiol. 7(8):555). The balance of the S. epidermidis on the human scalp is, therefore, especially important for maintaining scalp health.
[0080] ACTIVE 513686434.1 8 Attorney Docket No.: 071950.0475
[0081] Fungi found on the scalp include fungi from the Malassezia genus of the phylum Basidiomycota. These fungi, which are yeasts, are typically M. restricta and M. globosa. (Townsend, N., et al. J Clin Aesthet Dermatol. 16(10 Suppl 1):S4). Malassezia spp. are commonly isolated fungi on human skin, with M. restricta being the most prevalent. The presence of this yeast-like fungi is generally thought to cause dandruff, among other scalp conditions (Park, M., et al. Scientific Reports. 8: 12086). Thus, maintaining optimal concentrations ofM. restricta is necessary for supporting the health of the scalp.
[0082] The accord compositions of the present disclosure, as described in more detail below in Section 3, target at least one bacteria species or fungi on the scalp, as shown by the minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) data disclosed herein. In certain embodiments, the accord compositions increase the bacterial-to-fungal ratio, where fungal load decreases. In certain embodiments, the accord compositions target at least one bacteria species and at least one fungi species on the scalp microbiome. In certain embodiments, the accord compositions of the present disclosure target two bacteria or fungi species on the scalp microbiome.
[0083] In certain embodiments, the accord compositions target at least one bacteria species or fungi species to decrease scalp flakiness, decrease scalp malodor, decrease scalp irritation, decrease scalp sensitivity, increase hair growth, increase smoothness or silkiness, increase bounciness, increase overall hair quality, and combinations thereof.
[0084] In particular embodiments, the accord compositions target at least one bacteria species. The bacteria species are selected from the group consisting of Cornyebacterium kroppenstedtii (C. kroppenstedtii), Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes), Cutibacterium humerusii (C. humerusii), Gordonia terrae (G. terrae), Moraxella osloensis (M. osloensis), Staphylococcus capitis-caprae (S. capitis-caprae), Staphylococcus caprae (S. caprae), Staphylococcus caprae-saccharolyticus (S. caprae-saccharolyticus) , Stapphylococcus epidermis (S. epidermidis), Staphylococuccus saccharolyticus (S. capitis- saccharolyticus), L. clevelandensis, P. Uni, P. antartica, and combinations thereof In certain embodiments, the bacteria are selected from the group consisting of Cornyebacterium kroppenstedtii, C. acnes, Cutibacterium humerusii, Gordonia terrae, Moraxella osloensis, Staphylococcus capitis- caprae, Staphylococcus caprae, Staphylococcus caprae-saccharolyticus, S. epidermidis, Staphylococuccus saccharolyticus, and combinations thereof. In particular embodiments, the accord compositions target C. acnes and S. epidermidis. In particular embodiments, the accord compositions target C. acnes. In particular embodiments, the accord compositions target S.
[0085] ACTIVE 513686434.1 9 Attorney Docket No.: 071950.0475 epidermidis.
[0086] In certain embodiments, the accord compositions target at least one fungi species. The fungi are selected from Cladosporium halotolerans-sphaerospermum (C. halotolerans- sphaerospermum), Cladosporium sp, Malassezia arunalokei (M arunalokei), Malassezia caprae (M caprae), Malassezia globosa (M. globosa), Malassezia restricta (M reslricla .

[0087] 3. Compositions
[0088] The present disclosure provides accord compositions for improvement of the scalp microbiome. The accord compositions comprise hinokitiol and at least one synergistic compound. The hinokitiol and the at least one synergistic compound are combined to form an accord composition with targets at least one bacteria or fungi species on the scalp microbiome.
[0089] 3,1 Hinokitiol
[0090] Hinokitiol, also known as beta-thujaplicin, is a naturally occurring monoterpenoid compound derived from evergreen trees having the following structure:
[0091] This well-known bioactive compound has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, so it is commonly used in both drugs and cosmetics as a preservative.
[0092] In fact, hinokitiol is active in low concentrations against both the fungi M. restricta and the bacteria S. epidermidis. In certain embodiments, hinokitiol is effective against M. restricta at a minimum inhibition concentration of about 7.8 ppm. In certain embodiments, hinokitiol is effective against S. epidermidis at a minimum inhibition concentration of about 15.6 ppm.
[0093] The accord compositions of the present disclosure comprise hinokitiol for the improvement of the scalp microbiome due to its anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. Thus, hinokitiol is considered an active ingredient in the accord compositions. In particular embodiments, the accord composition comprises hinokitiol in amount of from about 0.1% to about 20%, from about 1% to about 15 %, from about 2.5% to about 10%, from about 5% to about 15%, from about 6% to about 15%, from about 6.5% to about 8%, from about 4% to
[0094] ACTIVE 513686434.1 10 Attorney Docket No.: 071950.0475 about 7%, or from about 4.5% to about 6.5% by weight of the accord composition. In alternative embodiments, the accord composition comprises hinokitiol in amount of from about 0.1% to about 20%, from about 0.5% to about 15 %, from about 1.0% to about 10%, or from about 2% to about 5.5% by weight of the accord composition.

[0219] EXAMPLES
[0220] The following examples are merely illustrative of the presently disclosed subject matter and they should not be considered as limiting the scope of the subject matter in any way.
[0221] Example 1
[0222] The minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) of amyl cinnamic aldehyde, citronellol, geraniol, laurinal, musk T, undecalactone G, and florol was measured alone and with hinokitiol to determine the compounds' synergy with hinokitiol.
[0223] In the presence of 1.94 ppm of hinokitiol, the MIC of amyl cinnamic aldehyde did not change; citronellol decreased, geraniol decreased, laurinal decreased, musk T decreased, undecalactone G did not change, and florol decreased, against M. restricta when compared to the MIC of the compounds alone. Similarly, in the presence of 3.9 ppm of hinokitiol, the MIC of amyl cinnamic aldehyde did not change, citronellol did not change, geraniol decreased, laurinal did not change, musk T decreased, undecalactone G decreased, and florol decreased, against S. epidermidis when compared to the MIC of the compounds alone.
[0224] Overall, hinokitiol showed synergy with geraniol, musk T, undecalactone gamma, and florol against S. epidermidis and with citronellol, geraniol, laurinal, musk T, and florol against M. restricta.
[0225] Example 2
[0226] Three accords, Accords A-C, were formulated using hinokitiol, a first synergistic compound, and additional synergistic compounds, shown below in Table 1. Accord D, the
[0227] ACTIVE 513686434.1 32 Attorney Docket No.: 071950.0475 control, was formulated using only additional synergistic compounds which are not active without the presence of hinokitiol.
[0228] Table 1.
[0229] The minimum inhibition concentration was measured for Accords A-D with both M. restricta and S. epidermidis (Figure 1). Accords A, B, and C were found to be active against M. restricta, Accords A and C were active against S. epidermidis, and Accord B was not active against S. epidermidis. Additional testing found Accords A, B, and C were active against M. globosa and C. acnes. Accord D was not active against M. restricta, S. epidermidis, and M. globosa, but was active against C. acnes.
[0230] Finally, the MIC of Accords A, B, and C with AT. restricta and S. epidermidis was measured when particular compounds were removed from the accord. Accord B was found to be active against AT restricta with no changes to the accord. Similarly, Accord C was found to be most active against both AT restricta and S. epidermidis without changes.
[0231] When hinokitiol or geraniol was removed from Accord A the MIC against AT restricta was comparable to the MIC with hinokitiol, while the MIC against S. epidermidis more than doubled. Removing both hinokitiol and geraniol resulted in a reduction in MIC against AT restricta and an MIC that more than doubled against S. epidermidis.
[0232] Further, when hinokitiol was removed from Accord B, the MIC against AT restricta and S. epidermidis was comparable. When geraniol was removed from Accord B, the MIC against AT restricta halved while MIC against S. epidermidis decreased by more than half. Removing both hinokitiol and geraniol resulted in a reduction in MIC against AT restricta and an MIC which more than doubled against S. epidermidis.
[0233] When the hinokitiol was removed from Accord C, the MIC doubled with AT restricta and more than quadrupled with S. epidermidis. When geraniol was removed, the MIC
[0234] ACTIVE 513686434.1 33 Attorney Docket No.: 071950.0475 doubled with M. restricta, while a reduction in MIC was observed with S. epidermidis. Removal of both geraniol and hinokitiol from Accord C resulted in an MIC comparable to Accord C with M. restricta while the MIC more than quadrupled with S. epidermidis. When musk T, was removed, the MIC with M. restricta was comparable to Accord C while the MIC with S. epidermidis more than quadrupled. Similarly, when both hinokitiol and musk T were removed, the MIC with M. restricta was comparable to Accord C while the MIC with S. epidermidis more than quadrupled.
[0235] Next, the MIC of Accords A, B, and C was measured when the amount of hinokitiol in the formulation was adjusted as shown in Table 2.
[0236] Table 2.
[0237] Overall, Accord A was active against S. epidermidis when hinokitiol was maintained at 5% and active against M. restricta at 0.25% and 1% to 5%, by weight of the accord composition. Similarly, Accord B was active against S. epidermidis when hinokitiol is present from 1% to 2.5% and active against AT. restricta when hinokitiol is present from 1% to 5% or less than 0.125%. Finally, Accord C was active against S. epidermidis and AT. restricta when maintaining hinokitiol at 5%.
[0238] Thus, the hinokitiol, a first synergistic compound, and additional synergistic compounds are all necessary to maintain the properties of Accord C.
[0239] Example 3
[0240] Two shampoos were formulated with Accord C and Accord D. In this study, 44 women ages 35-59 who washed their hair more than 3 times a week, were provided with a
[0241] ACTIVE 513686434.1 34 Attorney Docket No.: 071950.0475 shampoo with 1% of Accord C as the active shampoo and shampoo with 1% of Accord D as the placebo shampoo. Of the 44 participants, 50% had an oily scalp with sebum secretion greater than 100 pg / cm2, and 50% had a dry scalp with a sebum secretion of less than 100 pg / cm2.
[0242] After four weeks of placebo used, the participants washed their hair using the active shampoo for four weeks. Between use of the placebo and active shampoo, participants performed a washout of all hair products for 24 hours. At 0 weeks, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks, microbiome, scalp sebum, and scalp flake samples are collected. The microbiome was collected from the participants hairline using a swab. Scalp sebum excreted was measured using a Sebumeter® SM 815 (Courage & Khazaka). The measurement was performed approximately 3 cm from the middle of the ear for about 30 seconds. Flakiness was assessed by the presence of dandruff flakes that are adhering to the scalp skin using Adherent Scalp Flaking Score (ASFS). A comb was used to part the hair in 8 sections to give a clear view of the scalp. Loose flakes in the hair were not considered in the grading and the final, or total, ASFS is the sum of the grades for all 8 scalp sections.
[0243] In addition, self-report surveys were completed by the participants where participants evaluated sebum production, scalp flakiness, scalp malodor, scalp irritation, scalp sensitivity, hair growth, smoothness or silkiness, bounciness, and good hair days.
[0244] At the conclusion of the study, bacterial and fungal load on the scalp microbiome was analyzed. As seen in Fig. 2, there was a significant shift on the scalp bacterial to fungal ratio after active shampoo use.
[0245] In addition, there was significant increase in bacterial load after both placebo shampoo and active shampoo use, when compared to the baseline (Fig. 3A). When further delineated by dry and oily scalps, a strong shift in oily scalp conditions was observed. In fact, the change in bacterial load for oily scalp participants was statistically significant. While a similar trend was observed for dry scalps, the shift was less pronounced (Fig. 3B).
[0246] Further, there was significant decrease in fungal load after the active shampoo use across all participants, when compared to the baseline and placebo shampoo samples (Fig. 4A). Similarly, there was a significant shift in fungal load for both dry and oily scalps (Fig. 4B).
[0247] The Shannon diversity index of both the bacterial and fungal loads was then analyzed for the baseline sample, placebo shampoo sample, and active shampoo sample. Overall, no significant change was observed for the bacterial alpha diversity (Fig. 5A) and the fungal alpha diversity (Fig. 5B). In addition, there was no significant change in bacterial composition (Fig. 6A) and fungal composition (Fig. 6B).
[0248] ACTIVE 513686434.1 35 Attorney Docket No.: 071950.0475
[0249] The change in the top 10 bacteria and fungi was then analyzed. Overall, there was no change in the top 10 bacteria, although an increased abundance of C. acnes was observed (Fig. 7A-B). There was a significant shift in relative abundance as well as absolute abundance in the top ten fungal taxa after the use of the active shampoo (Fig. 7C-D). Cladosporium sp (p<0.01) and M. globosa (p<0.05) significantly decreased after active used compared to placebo use. Further, M. globosa (p<0.01) and AT. arunalokei (p<0.01), as well as other fungi (p<0.05), significantly decreased from baseline to active usage. Although not significant, there was a decrease in absolute abundance ofM. restricta. These changes were comparable between oily and dry scalp participants (Fig. 7E-F).
[0250] In addition, scalp sebum for both oil and dry scalps was measured at 0, 4, and 8 weeks. At 4 weeks, after use of the placebo shampoo, oily scalp sebum decreased 24%, while dry scalp sebum increased 84%. After an additional 4 weeks with active shampoo use, there was no significant change in scalp sebum when compared scalp sebum levels after placebo shampoo use. After the full 8 weeks, oily scalp sebum decreased 26% and dry scalp sebum increased 69%.
[0251] The Adherent Flaking Score of the dry and oily scalps was then assessed over the 8 week period. The flaking score for both dry and oil scalps decreased over 95.5% with the use of active shampoo. This reduction in flakiness shows a significant correlation with the discussed microbial changes, specifically the reduction of M. restricta (Fig. 8A). While the increase of C. acnes is associated with a decrease in flakiness, there was not a significant correlation (Fig. 8B). In fact, the dry scalp decreased 100% when compared to the baseline. Conversely, after placebo use, less than a 50% decrease was observed (Fig. 8C).
[0252] Finally, participants were asked to self-report on various experiences after using the placebo and active shampoo. Participants were asked to indicate if they did not have pillowcase odor, fizziness, dryness, flakiness, irritation, itchiness, odor, oiliness, redness, sensitivity, and inflammation at 0, 4, and 8 weeks (Figs. 9A and 9B). For both oily and dry scalps, inflammation and redness improved over 90%, irritation improved over 80%, and sensitivity improved over 70%. In addition, more than 60% of participants reported an improvement in scalp odor.
[0253] The participants were additionally asked to list evaluate of fullness and thickness, bounciness and movement, hair growth, moisturization, shine, softness, thickness, manageability / ease of combing, and how many good hair days, and at 0, 4, and 8 weeks (Fig. 10A and 10B). Overall, oily scalps had a higher improvement in positive symptoms, with a more than 50% in hair bounciness and great hair days, and a 23% increase in growth, shine, and softness.
[0254] ACTIVE 513686434.1 36 Attorney Docket No.: 071950.0475
[0255] Finally, the participants were asked the following questions:
[0256] Please share your experience with the shampoo you used in the last 7 days.
[0257] Think about how shampoo has affected your everyday life.
[0258] What notable changes have there been? How well do you think the product fights malodor?
[0259] If you could take one benefit from this product and add it to your “usual routine ” what would it be?
[0260] The frequency of certain phrases used by the participants was quantified. The number of participants who used particular phrases is shown in Table 3.
[0261] Table 3.
[0262] Overall, after active shampoo use an increase in the bacterial to fungal ratio, bacterial load, and fungal load was observed. Notably, change bacterial load was dependent on scalp sebum, while change in fungal load was not dependent on scalp sebum. Further, sebum decreased for placebo and active shampoo use while flakiness decreased after active use only. While a mild decrease in malodor, irritation, and redness / inflammation, and an increase in hair growth, smoothness / silkiness, bounce, and great hair days was observed after placebo use, a greater decrease in malodor, irritation, and redness / inflammation, as well as sensitivity and an
[0263] ACTIVE 513686434.1 37 Attorney Docket No.: 071950.0475 increase in hair growth, smoothness / silkiness, bounce, and great hair was observed after active shampoo use.
