[0001] Description

[0002] Title: Anhydrous composition comprising a solid lipophilic organic UV-screening agent, a semicrystalline homopolymer and a mixture of silicas

[0003] Technical field

[0004] The present invention relates to compositions, notably cosmetic or dermatological compositions, in particular for caring for keratin materials, notably for caring for the skin, comprising a solid lipophilic organic UV-screening agent, a semicrystalline homopolymer and a mixture of silicas.

[0005] Prior art

[0006] It is known that radiation with a wavelength of between 280 nm and 400 nm enables tanning of the human epidermis and that radiation with a wavelength of between 280 and 320 nm, known under the name UVB rays, harms the development of a natural tan. Exposure is also liable to bring about a detrimental change in the biomechanical properties of the epidermis, which is reflected by the appearance of wrinkles, leading to premature ageing of the skin. It is also known that UVA rays, with a wavelength of between 320 and 400 nm, penetrate more deeply into the skin than UVB rays. UVA rays bring about immediate and persistent tanning of the skin. Daily exposure to UVA rays, even for a short period, under normal conditions can lead to degradation of the elastin and collagen fibers, which is reflected by a change in the skin’s microrelief, the appearance of wrinkles and uneven pigmentation (liver spots, or heterogeneity of the complexion).

[0007] Protection against UVA and UVB radiation is thus necessary. An effective photoprotective product must protect against both UVA and UVB radiation.

[0008] Many photoprotective compositions have been proposed to date to overcome the effects induced by UVA and / or UVB radiation. They generally contain UV-screening agents that function according to their own chemical nature and their own properties by absorbing, reflecting, or scattering UV radiation, for instance mixtures of liposoluble organic UV-screening agents and / or water-soluble organic UV-screening agents.

[0009] Thus, there is a constant demand for sun protection means for controlling natural tanning in order to control the color of the skin, and for means for maintaining the natural elasticity of the skin.For this purpose, use is generally made of photoprotective compositions comprising UVA-active and / or UVB-active organic screening agents; the degree of UV protection offered by a photoprotective composition being directly related to the amount and types of UV-screening agents that it contains.

[0010] However, solid organic UV-screening agents give rise to problems of dissolution and solubilization in fatty solvents, and also stability problems. These screening agents can in particular recrystallize in the composition during storage. Consequently, there remains a need for stable photoprotective compositions comprising solid organic UV-screening agents that are effectively dissolved and solubilized in the composition.

[0011] Furthermore, the hydrophobic silica aerogel is commonly known in the cosmetic industry for its anti-oil and anti-acne effects, including in sun protection compositions. However, the maximum concentration of silica in a composition is generally limited to around 0.5% by weight of silica, relative to the total weight of the composition because, due to its high hydrophobic properties, the use of high concentrations of silica renders the composition unstable.

[0012] WO 2021 / 016680 discloses an anhydrous composition comprising an organic UV-screening agent, at least 5% by weight of hydrophobic silica aerogel, an amorphous spherical silica and an ester of sebacic acid. However, as demonstrated in the examples described below, when the composition comprises solid lipophilic UV-screening agents, the composition may exhibit stability problems and less effective sun protection.

[0013] However, photoprotective compositions are expected to provide good protection against the sun, which can be determined by the value of the sun protection factor (SPF).

[0014] Consequently, in order to meet the requirements of consumers, there remains a need to obtain photoprotective compositions comprising solid organic UV-screening agents, which possess a high protection efficacy, preferably an SPF value measured in vivo of at least 50, even more preferentially of at least 100, and which remain stable over time. There is also a need for photoprotective compositions with good sensory properties, in particular ease of application of the product and a pleasant, dry, non-tacky and powdery feel.

[0015] Disclosure of the invention

[0016] In light of the above, there remains a need for compositions, notably cosmetic or dermatological compositions, in particular for caring for keratin materials, in particular forprotecting keratin materials against UV radiation, which exhibit high protection, notably having an SPF measured in vitro of at least 100 and which are stable, notably for 2 months at room temperature (25°C) and at 45°C, and which spread well over the skin leaving a homogeneous film.

[0017] The invention is specifically directed toward meeting these needs.

[0018] Summary of the invention

[0019] The inventors have discovered, surprisingly, that these advantageous properties were able to be obtained by adding a semicrystalline C16-C22 alkyl acrylate homopolymer.

[0020] Thus, according to a first aspect, the present invention relates to an anhydrous composition, notably an anhydrous cosmetic or dermatological composition, in particular for caring for keratin materials, notably for caring for the skin, comprising:

[0021] - a solid lipophilic organic UV-screening agent;

[0022] - at least 5% by weight of hydrophobic silica aerogel particles, relative to the total weight of the composition;

[0023] - an amorphous spherical silica;

[0024] - an ester oil; and

[0025] - a semicrystalline homopolymer containing at least one C16-C22 alkyl acrylate chain.

[0026] The invention also relates to a non-therapeutic cosmetic process for caring for keratin materials, in particular the skin, comprising the application to the keratin materials, in particular the topical application to these keratin materials, of a composition as defined previously.

[0027] The subject of the present invention is also the non-therapeutic use of a composition as described above in the cosmetic field, for caring for keratin materials, in particular the skin of the face and / or of the body, for protecting keratin materials, in particular the skin, when exposed to UV radiation.

[0028] Other features, aspects and advantages of the invention will become apparent on reading the detailed description that follows.

[0029] Detailed description

[0030] The composition according to the invention is preferably a cosmetic or dermatological composition.The composition according to the invention is a non-therapeutic composition.

[0031] The composition according to the invention is generally suitable for topical application to the skin and thus generally comprises a physiologically acceptable medium, i.e. a medium that is compatible with the skin.

[0032] The term "cosmetic or dermatological” refers to a composition that is compatible with the skin, mucous membranes and skin appendages.

[0033] The term "keratin materials” is understood in particular to denote the skin, mucous membranes, fibers, eyelashes and skin appendages.

[0034] The term "the skin” is understood to mean all the skin of the body, and preferably the skin of the face, the scalp, the neckline, the neck, the arms and forearms, the eyelids, around the mouth or behind the ears, the hollow of the elbow, the back of the knees, the hands, the wrists and the ankles, or even more preferably the skin of the face (in particular the forehead, the nose, the cheeks and the chin), the neckline and the neck.

[0035] In the context of the present invention, the terms "preventing” and "prevention” denote the reduction, to a lesser degree, of the risk or probability of occurrence of a given phenomenon. The term "anhydrous” refers to a composition comprising an amount of water of less than or equal to 10% by weight, preferably less than or equal to 5% by weight, even more preferentially less than or equal to 2% by weight, better still less than or equal to 1% by weight, and even better still less than or equal to 0.5% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, and more preferentially that is free of water.

[0036] In the context of the invention, the screening efficiency of the composition is evaluated from the evaluation of the SPF and UVAPF.

[0037] For the purposes of the present invention, the term "SPF" means the sun protection factor, which measures the level of protection against UVB rays. The SPF value corresponds to the ratio between the minimum time it takes to obtain a sunburn with a photoprotective composition and the minimum time it takes without a product. More specifically, the term "SPF" is defined in the article A new substrate to measure sunscreen protection factors throughout the ultraviolet spectrum, J. Soc. Cosmet. Chem., 40, 127-133 (May / June 1989). The SPF (Sun Protection Factor) may be evaluated in vitro using the Labsphere® spectrophotometer. A protocol for evaluating the in vitro SPF is described below, in the examples. According to this protocol, the composition has high sun protection when its in vitro SPF is greater than 100%. The SPF (Sun Protection Factor) may be evaluated in vitrousing the Labsphere® spectrophotometer. One particular protocol, certified under the standard ISO 23675:2024, is presented as an example.

[0038] The evaluation of the sun protection factor (SPF) of the compositions can also be performed in vivo according to the ISO 24444: 2019 protocol “Cosmetics - Sun protection test methods - In vivo determination of the sun protection factor (SPF)”. A protocol for evaluating the in vivo SPF is described below, in the examples. According to this protocol, the composition has high sun protection when its in vivo SPF is greater than 50.

[0039] For the purposes of the present invention, the term “UVAPF” means the index characterizing the protection against UVA rays. In particular, this index can be measured in vivo according to the ‘'PPD'’ (Persistent Pigment Darkening) method, ISO-24442:2022 protocol, and measures the color of the skin observed 2 to 4 hours after exposure to UVA rays. The protection against UVA rays can also be evaluated in vitro using the Labsphere® spectrophotometer.-The ISO 24443:2021 protocol describes such an in vitro method.

[0082] Hydrophobic silica aerogel

[0083] The composition according to the invention contains a hydrophobic silica aerogel in a content of at least 5% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.

[0084] A silica aerogel according to the present invention is a porous material obtained by replacing (by drying) the liquid component of a silica gel with air.

[0085] Silica aerogels are generally synthesized by a sol -gel process in a liquid medium and then dried, usually by extraction with a supercritical fluid, such as, but not limited to, supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2). This type of drying avoids shrinkage of the pores and the material. The sol-gel process and the various drying processes are described in detail in Brinker C.J. and Scherer G.W., Sol-Gel Science, New York, Academic Press, 1990.

[0086] The hydrophobic silica aerogel particles used in the present invention have a specific surface area per unit of mass (SM) ranging from 500 to 1500 m2 / g, or alternatively from 600 to 1200 m2 / g, preferably from 600 to 800 m2 / g, and a size, expressed as the volume-mean diameter (D[0.5]), ranging from 1 to 30 pm, in particular from 5 to 25 pm, preferably from 5 to 20 pm and better still from 5 to 15 pm. The specific surface area per unit mass may be determined by the BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) nitrogen absorption method described in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, vol. 60, page 309, February 1938 and corresponding to international standard ISO 5794 / 1. The BET specific surface area corresponds to the total specific surface area of the particles under consideration.

[0087] The size of the particles can be measured by static light scattering using a commercial particle size analyzer such as the MasterSizer 2000 from Malvern. The data are processed on the basis of the Mie scattering theory. This theory, which is exact for isotropic particles, makes it possible to determine, in the case of non-spherical particles, an “effective” particle diameter. This theory is notably described in the publication by Van de Hulst, H.C., Light Scattering by Small Particles, Chapters 9 and 10, Wiley, New York, 1957.The particles used in the present invention may advantageously have a tapped density ranging from 0.04 g / cm3to 0.10 g / cm3or alternatively from 0.05 g / cm3to 0.08 g / cm3. In the context of the present invention, this density, referred to as tapped density, can be evaluated according to the following protocol: 40 g of powder are poured into a measuring cylinder; the measuring cylinder is then placed on a Stampf Volumeter Stav 2003 machine; the measuring cylinder is then subjected to a series of 2500 tapping movements (this operation is repeated until the difference in volume between two consecutive tests is less than 2%); the final volume Vf of tapped powder is then measured directly on the measuring cylinder. The tapped density is determined by the ratio m / Vf, in this instance 40 / Vf (Vf being expressed in cm3and m in g).

[0088] According to one embodiment, the hydrophobic silica aerogel particles used in the present invention have a specific surface area per unit of volume SV ranging from 5 to 60 m2 / cm3, in particular from 10 to 50 m2 / cm3, preferably from 15 to 40 m2 / cm3. The specific surface area per unit of volume is given by the following relationship SV = SM.r where r is the tapped density expressed in g / cm3and SM is the specific surface area per unit of mass expressed in m2 / g, as defined above.

[0089] In certain embodiments, the silica aerogel particles according to the invention have an oil absorption capacity, measured at the wet point, ranging from about 5 to about 18 ml / g, or alternatively from about 6 to about 15 ml / g, or alternatively from about 8 to about 12 ml / g. The oil absorption capacity measured at the wet point, denoted Wp, corresponds to the amount of oil which it is necessary to add to 100 g of particles in order to obtain a homogeneous paste. The Wp is measured according to the wet point method or the method for determining the oil absorption of a powder described in the standard NF T 30-022. Wp corresponds to the amount of oil adsorbed onto the available surface of the powder and / or absorbed by the powder by measuring the wet point, described below: An amount = 2 g of powder is placed on a glass plate, then the oil (isononyl isonanoate) is added dropwise. After having added 4 to 5 drops of oil to the powder, mixing is performed using a spatula, and oil continues to be added until a conglomerate of oil and powder has been formed. At this stage, the oil is added one drop at a time and the mixture is then triturated using the spatula. The addition of oil is stopped when a firm and smooth paste is obtained. This paste must be able to be spread over the glass plate without cracking or forming lumps. The volume Vs (expressed in ml) of oil used is then noted. The oil absorption corresponds to the ratio Vs / m.The term “hydrophobic silica” denotes any silica, the surface of which is treated with silylating agents, for example with halogenated silanes, such as alkylchlorosilanes, siloxanes, in particular dimethylsiloxanes such as hexamethyldisiloxane, or silazanes, so as to functionalize the OH groups with silyl groups Si-Rn, for example trimethyl silyl groups. The preparation of hydrophobic silica aerogel particles, the surface of which has been modified by silylation, is described in patent US 7 470 725. Preferably, use is made of hydrophobic silica aerogel particles, the surface of which has been modified with trimethyl silyl groups (which have the INCI name: SILICA SILYLATE).

[0090] Suitable examples of hydrophobic silica aerogels may include, without being limited thereto, aerogels sold under the trade names DOWSIL® VM-2270 Aerogel Fine particles (INCI name: Silica Silylate) by DOW. The VM-2270 particles have a mean size of between 5 and 15 microns and a specific surface area per unit of mass of between 600 and 800 m2 / g. Another suitable example of hydrophobic silica aerogels may include the commercially available aerogels from Cabot Corporation under the trade names Aerogel TLD 201, Aerogel OGD 201 and Aerogel TLD 203, Enova® Aerogel MT 1100 and Enova® Aerogel MT 1200. Use is preferably made of the hydrophobic silica aerogel particles DOWSIL® VM-2270 Aerogel Fine particles.

[0091] The hydrophobic silica aerogel may be present in the composition in a content ranging from 5% to 10% by weight, preferably from 5% to 8% by weight, more preferentially from 5% to 7% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition.

[0092] Amorphous spherical silica

[0094] According to certain embodiments, the mean size of these spherical amorphous silica particles is less than 15.0 pm and more particularly between 3 and 10 pm.

[0095] Examples of amorphous spherical silicas that may be mentioned include the porous silica microspheres sold under the name Silica Beads SB-700 by Myoshi (mean size of 4.6 pm and oil absorption capacity Wp: 133 ml / 100 g); Sunsphere® H51 (mean size of 5.1 pm and oil absorption capacity Wp: 133 ml / 100 g), Sunsphere® H33 (mean size of 2.9 pm and oil absorption capacity Wp: 370 ml / 100 g) by Asahi Glass.The amorphous spherical silica may be present in the composition according to the invention in a content ranging from 1% to 6% by weight, preferably ranging from 2% to 5% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition.

[0096] According to a particular embodiment, a composition according to the invention comprises at least:

[0097] - from 5% to 25% by weight, in particular from 10% to 20% by weight, relative to its total weight, of solid lipophilic organic UV-screening agent(s), preferably chosen from dibenzoylmethane compounds, benzophenone compounds, phenylbenzotri azole compounds, triazine compounds, and mixtures thereof;

[0101] The composition according to the invention comprises at least one ester oil.

[0102] According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the ester oil(s) do not absorb UV rays.

[0103] An ester oil which does not absorb UV rays is understood to mean oils comprising at least one ester function, which do not absorb or do not scatter ultraviolet radiation appreciably. The term “oiF means a water-immiscible non-aqueous compound that is liquid at room temperature (20°C±5°C) and at atmospheric pressure (760 mmHg).

[0104] The ester oil is preferably chosen from monoester oils, diester oils, synthetic triglycerides such as triglycerides of capric and caprylic acids, and mixtures thereof.

[0157] Examples

[0158] Methods and Measurements

[0159] 1. Protocol for measuring the in vitro SPF

[0160] The sun protection factor (SPF) is determined using the “zw vitro" method described by M. Pissavini et al. in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 40, 263-268 (2018), based on the initial absorbance.

[0161] Each composition is applied to six rough PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) plates, in the form of a homogeneous and even deposit in a proportion of 1 mg / cm2. Each composition is spread using an automated robot which makes regular and uniform movements on three “HD6” plates (molded rough plates) and three “SB6” plates (sandblasted rough plates). The plates are weighed before and after spreading. Once the six plates have been spread, they are left to stand in Thermaster chambers in the dark at 25°C for 30 minutes. Measurements are taken using a UV-1000S spectrophotometer from the company Labsphere. Nine measurements are taken per plate, and are then analyzed using an Excel spreadsheet which provides the SPF values for the composition measured.

[0162] 2, Protocol for measuring the in vivo SPF

[0163] The evaluation of the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of the compositions is performed in vivo according to the ISOZEN 24444 “Cosmetics - Sun protection test methods - In vivo determination of the sun protection factor (SPF) (2019)” method.The application of an antisun product is an important step, as it has a significant impact on the SPF result. It must therefore be standardized and performed under the most favorable conditions possible.

[0164] This application is performed on the backs of 3 to 10 volunteers.

[0165] Areas of 30 cm2on the back will be selected between the shoulder blades and the lower back for application of the products.

[0166] These areas must be free of spots, hairs, fuzz, moles or scars and must have a uniform color. When positioning the volunteer, the back must be perfectly flat.

[0167] There must be a minimum gap of 1 cm between each area. These areas, each measuring 30 cm2, should be drawn between the shoulder blades and the lower back. Before taking up any sample, and unless otherwise indicated, it is important to shake the product well so as to obtain good homogenization of the emulsion.

[0168] Saturation of the sampling instrument (pipette or syringe) must be performed for taring. Double weighing is necessary so as to ensure that the correct amount of product is applied. The application pre-tests allowed the amount of product to be taken up to be evaluated, so as to ensure that 2 mg / cm2± 2.5% are indeed applied.

[0169] It is possible for the product to be applied with or without a finger stall. In the case of application with a finger stall, this must be tautly stretched over the pad of the finger so as to avoid excessive loss of product and to perform the application under optimum conditions. The water will always be applied with the finger stall. Throughout the application, it is recommended to use light pressure, not to retrace the movement or to remove the finger, and to adhere to an application time of between 20 and 50 seconds.

[0170] The drops of product to be applied must be deposited evenly over the entire area and be of a uniform size. Care should be taken to ensure that the drops are not too close to the edges of the area to avoid excessive over-running during application.

[0171] During application, a certain number of factors need to be taken into account: the pressure applied must be light, and circular movements are essential. Ideally, it is necessary to start with small circles and widen them within the area, always in the same direction, moving gradually toward the other end of the area. To avoid excessive concentration of product in the center, care must be taken to ensure that the product is drawn right up to the edge. Linear movements, for the finishing step, must be straight. It is recommended to perform this step quickly so as not to impair the homogeneity of the deposit.3 , Stability monitoring protocol

[0172] The stability evaluation protocol is detailed below:

[0173] A composition is prepared and then stored at various temperatures:

[0174] i) at room temperature (25°C),

[0175] ii) at 45°C in an oven.

[0176] The composition is then evaluated as follows: after storing for 2 months, the appearance of the composition is characterized.

[0177] The appearance of the composition must remain identical or close to the initial appearance. In particular, the composition, in the form of a gel, must not exhibit leaching or sedimentation. Slight leaching or slight sedimentation remain acceptable.

[0178] Example 1: Preparation of the compositions

[0179] Compositions II to 16 according to the invention and compositions Cl to C3 outside of the invention are prepared according to the protocol described below. The nature of the ingredients and their respective amounts are given in Table 1. The contents are expressed as weight percentages relative to the total weight of the composition.

[0180] Preparation of compositions II to 16 and Cl to C3

[0181] The compounds of phase Al are heated to 75°C in a Minilab mixer with blade stirring at 60 rpm and impeller stirring at 2000 rpm. The mixture is left to homogenize for 10 minutes, then cooled to 30°C with blade stirring. The compounds of phase A2 are added with blade stirring at 60 rpm, then the compounds of phase B are added with blade stirring at 60 rpm and impeller stirring at 4000 rpm for 5 minutes.

[0202] Example 2: Measurement of the in vitro SPF

[0203] The in vitro SPF measurements are carried out, for each of the compositions II to 16 and Cl to C3 according to the protocol described above. The results obtained are given in Table 2.[Table 2]

[0216] It appears that the compositions II to 16 according to the invention have an in vitro SPF of greater than 100; they therefore have a high sun protection.

[0217] On the contrary, the comparative compositions Cl, devoid of polymer according to the invention, C2, devoid of polymer according to the invention and comprising a polymer outside the invention, and C3, containing no hydrophobic silica aerogel particles, have an in vitro SPF of less than 80 and therefore a much lower sun protection than the compositions according to the invention.

[0218] Example 3: Stability monitoring measurement

[0219] The stability monitoring measurements are carried out, for each of the compositions II to 16 and Cl to C3 according to the protocol described above. The results obtained are given in Table 3.[Table 3]

[0232] It appears that compositions II to 16 according to the invention remain stable after storage for 2 months at room temperature and at a temperature of 45°C.

[0233] However, the comparative compositions Cl, devoid of polymer according to the invention, C2, devoid of polymer according to the invention and comprising a polymer outside the invention, and C3, containing no hydrophobic silica aerogel particles, have an highly degraded appearance after storage at these temperatures and are therefore not stable.

[0234] Moreover, compositions II to 16 according to the invention spread easily on the skin and form a homogeneous film, thus conferring effective sun protection. They also give the skin a pleasant, dry, non-tacky and powdery feel.
