Detailed Description of Modalities

The formulations of the present invention comprise compounds which are described in US Serial Patent Application No. 11 / 425,094, [Atty. Docket No. 1396-00601], issued June 19, 2006, entitled "Compositions Comprising A UV-Absorbing Chromophore," and US Serial Patent Application No. 11 / 425,096, [Atty. Docket No. 1396-00602], issued June 19, 2006, entitled "Methods of Making Compositions Comprising A UV-Absorbing Chromophore," both of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

Described below are various product applications for formulations according to the present invention. Each application was produced and tested on blind-coded samples as judged by consumers. These tests demonstrate the superior aesthetic and end product characteristics to the consumer offered by the compounds of the present invention. Applications for the use of feruloyl glycerides in the present invention are not limited to the Examples mentioned herein. On the contrary, these Examples highlight the unique multifunctional benefits that are provided with the use of these naturally derived mono, di and triglycerides.

Before presenting detailed examples of the application formula of products where the superior consumer benefits have been realized through the use of feruloyl glycerides, let us make at least a few comments regarding the multifunctional attributes that this material presented.

Feruloyl glycerides used in accordance with the present invention are lipophilic in nature, with a unique characteristic mark of esterified saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, feruloyl esters and hydroxyl groups. As such, the feruloyl glycerides of the present invention are miscible with any other oily type substances, have a high kb (kauri butanol) value and solvent power, and have excellent absorption and / or penetration characteristics on skin and hair. The feruloyl glycerides of the present invention provide skin with superior moisture barrier properties, add reflective or light-radiating characteristics to dry, dull skin, absorb both wavelengths A and B of ultraviolet radiation from sunlight, They provide superior skin with antioxidant protection at various levels within the epidermis, and improve the skin's emollience and dry sensation characteristics. The feruloyl glycerides of the present invention protect sun-bleached dyed hair (i.e. the elimination of color-producing chromophore into oxidized dye such as paraphenylenediamine plus peroxide), and add conditioning and reflex benefits the light to the hair. Feruloyl glycerides also help prevent photonic damage that induces all hair types to develop undesirable combing properties after UV exposure. This damage is often observed on the cuticle (outer skin of the hair fiber). Preventing photonic damage to gray hair can be observed in the combing strength of treated and control hairs, contact angle measurements, and conservation of tryptophan, an important amino acid that decomposes upon exposure to UV radiation. The ferlyoyl glycerides of the present invention protect lips, skin and hair from environmental damage, and create a synergistic effect with many other over-the-counter (OTC) cosmetics and ingredients.

In the above paragraph, it has been indicated that feruloyl glycerides have excellent solvent characteristics. This solvency is shown in the phospholipid vitamin complex lotions presented below. 1) A clear solution of 10% cholesterol powder in .90% soybean feruloyl glyceride, 2) A clear solution set of 10% Vitamins E, A, D3, F (gamma linolenic acid) and 90% soybean feruloyl glycerides 3) A set of clear solutions comprising 10% "Arlasilk ™ Phospholipid EFA [Linoleamidopropyl PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate] from Unigema and 90% soybean feruloyl glycerides, 4) A series of solutions containing OTC sunscreens Avobenzone (3%), Benzophenone (5%), Octyl Salicylate (4%), Octyl Methoxy cinnamate (7.5%), Octocrylene (10%) and qs (quotient sufficient to produce 100%) with soybean feruloyl glycerides. solutions remained stable for more than 3 months at 24 0C (75 0F).

Manufacturing Procedure: (for all formulations listed below)

In general, add Phase A components to the main mix tank. Mix using a high shear mixer No. 4). Vortex spray thickener (if any) created by the mixer. Mix until parts are dissolved or dispersed, maintaining heat at 55 ° C. The feruloyl glyceride in the following examples comprised a family of feruloyl glycerides produced from soy. It will be appreciated that any feruloyl glyceride derived from any source or in any mode is embodied in this invention. Feruloyl glyceride may be added to the oil phase phase B ingredients in a suitably sized premix reactor, heated and / or mixed until dissolved and / or dispersed, and then added to the main batch (phase A) with mixture.

Heat Phase B to 55 ° C with mixing. When the particles are dissolved, add Phase B to Phase A with vigorous agent.

Trigger the slow sweep and cool the batch to 40 ° C, and add the other Phases.

Take samples for Quality Control for research and approval at 25 ° C.

Feruloyl glyceride is an oil based component and has an oily appearance at room temperature. Feruloyl glyceride is not water soluble, and it can act as a solvent for ingredients that are difficult to dissolve in water. In some instances, it may be desirable to suspend the feruloyl glyceride within a matrix or gel emulsion. In some embodiments, it may be desirable to obtain an emulsion comprising feruloyl glyceride using a suitable emulsifier. In some embodiments, it may be desirable to incorporate such an emulsion into a final product having a desired viscosity, and to achieve such a desired viscosity, an appropriate viscosity modifier may be used. An emulsifier and / or viscosity and / or surfactant modifier may be an acceptable topical agent that is different from the chain agent or compound comprising at least one UV-absorbing chromophore.

The pH of the final product comprising feruloyl glyceride may be any acceptable pH that is compatible with the purpose of the final product. For example, but not by way of limitation, when the final product is to be applied to skin or hair, the pH range may be from about 2.5 to about 9.0. For example, but not by way of limitation, when the final product is a shampoo, the pH range may be from about 6.0 to about .8.0. For example, but not by way of limitation, when the final product is a skin moisturizer, the pH range may be from about 4.0 to about 6.0. For example, but not by way of limitation, when the end product is an exfoliating and / or hair conditioner, the pH range may be from about 2.0 to about 4.0. The end product may be hypoallergenic.

It is well known that certain Vitamins and amino acids are referred to as "essential" in nutritional products since the body does not produce these materials and the individual needs to include them in their diets. In topical products, they are equally important. Both Vitamins EeC are well known for their antioxidant properties within the skin and also for the fact that they work together in maintaining natural defenses against radicals. There is a significant amount of scientific evidence that the combination of Vitamin EeC significantly reduced the sunburn reaction relative to UVb irradiation. There is also evidence of the benefits of applying Vitamin D3 to the skin. Feruloyl glycerides of the present invention are excellent solvents for cholesterol and derivatives thereof which are excellent skin conditioning agents. Vitamin D3 is easily solubilized as well as other antioxidants such as coenzyme Q-10 (Ubiquinone) or Superoxide Dismase. If desired a chelating agent, for example ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid ("EDTA"), may be added to the above example, and a corresponding amount of water may be reduced if a chelating agent (often in solution) is added.

In pre-sun and post-sun weekend applications, the judging panel members treated one arm with the cream described above and a second arm with a similar control cream without the feruloyl glycerides of the present invention. When compared side by side, the arms treated with the feruloyl glycerides of the present invention had much less sunburn and blistering than the control arm. All members of the judging panel found that they had spent a minimum of 4 hours in the sun on Saturday and Sunday.

In the above example, it is estimated that the Sun Protecting Factor (SPF) in the control was about 2-4, and that the SPF of the feruloyl glyceride-containing product according to the invention was about from 7-10.

The feruloyl glycerides of the present invention are especially well suited for solubilizing sunscreens. Many of these sunscreen ingredients are known to form a powder upon application to the skin as an emulsion and drying. This crystal formation causes the loss of UVb protection as the sunscreens simply peel off after drying. The presence of feruloyl glycerides solubilizes all oil-soluble sunscreens and creates a low melting point eutectic that ensures sunscreens stay fluid, absorb into the skin and do not spray when of drying. This provides products with longer lasting sun protection.

In side-by-side comparison tests, the formulation containing feruloyl glycerides provided longer-term sun protection than the same formulation that did not contain feruloyl glycerides.

The feruloyl glycerides of the present invention add excellent conditioning properties to hair conditioner formulations. They are easily absorbed into porous hair that has been treated with chemical services (hair dyeing, bleaching, permanent curling, straightening, etc.). · After drying, the hair has excellent shine and luster, easy handling. and feel smooth and dreary. The feruloyl glycerides of the present invention are excellent additives for improving the long term of dyed hair that are pursued in permanent pretenses. They do this by protecting the synthetic color from air oxidation and absorbing both UVa and UVb rays which damage the color and eliminate the color-producing chromophore.

In one test, locks were dyed with one of two commercially available permanent hair thinning products for medium gray brown. Some strands of hair were then wrapped in foil, while other strands were either treated with a conditioner that contained feruloyl glycerides according to the above formulation or the control formulation that did not contain feruloyl glycerides. The non-foiled capillary hairs were then exposed to sunlight in the northern region for 32 hours and then compared to the foil-wrapped hair strands. Hair streaks that had been treated with a conditioner containing feruloyl glycerides according to the above formulation were much closer in color to the foil-wrapped hair strands than the control formulation that did not contain feruloyl glycerides.

Some experts view daily shaving as an exfoliation exercise. When you look at shaving in this way, you are not only removing daily shaving hair, but also removing many of the stratum corneum cells from the surface of the skin. This exposes the new skin surface to unprotected UVb and UVa exposure daily after shaving. The presence of feruloyl glycerides of the present invention in a shaving preparation ensures some absorption by the skin of this powerful antioxidant at the beginning of each day, thereby reducing environmental damage to the skin.

The panel of judges preferred the above shaving formulation containing feruloyl glycerides, rather than a control shaving formation that did not contain feruloyl glycerides.

Example 6

Skin Whitening Formulations

The feruloyl glycerides of the present invention may be used in skin clearing formulations that carry other active ingredients into the epidermis and thereby slow down the process of melanin formation at senile mark points. A formulation can be prepared using the formulation of Example 2, adding 1.5% kojic acid, and reducing the amount of water to a corresponding amount, i.e. reducing the amount of water by 1.5%. Kojic acid may be part of Phase Β. Kojic acid can penetrate the epidermis and help reduce melanin production.

In one test, a formulation containing feruloyl glycerides was applied to an area of the skin having senile mark points, and the control formulation containing no feruloyl glycerides was applied to another area of the skin having senile mark points. The panel of judges preferred the formulation containing feruloyl glycerides over the control formulation. Visualization of skin areas after 28 days, 56 days, and 84 days showed that the skin areas treated with the feruloyl glyceride-containing formulation were lighter in color than the skin areas that had been treated with the controlled formulation. le.

Rejuvenating Protective Rod

The feruloyl glycerides of the present invention may be incorporated into a rejuvenating protective rod to transport peptides into the skin, which requires the maximum production of collagen and elastin proteins and to minimize premature degradation of these skin firmness supporting proteins. Rejuvenating formulations may protect the skin from UVa irradiation from normal sunlight, may alter the moisture retention characteristics of the skin, may add radiance to the skin, may prevent over-formation of melanin-containing senile markings , and can prevent the formation of radicals from UVb and UVa, which then react with other skin ingredients to alter their natural flexibility and firmness. The manufacturing process may involve adding liquids to the main batch with mixing. Heat from the reactor casing can be recycled and solid ingredients can be added one at a time until the complete system is melted and solubilized and / or completely dispersed. The hot liquid can then be poured into suitable stick molds to cool and solidify.

Example 9 Co-Solvents for Fragrances

The feruloyl glycerides of the present invention may be used as co-solvents in the composition of the fragrances. When creating fragrances, perfumers extract thousands of odorous and fixative compounds which complex with the other ingredients within the perfume formulation to achieve the interpretation of the final fragrance that is desired. The science of perfumery is thousands of years old and usually requires apprenticeships of 5 years or more with a master perfumer to gain accreditation by the American Society of Perfumers. The basic construction of fragrances includes 3 divisions within the fragrance. These are referred to as top, middle and bottom perceptions. Top perceptions are light, delicate, and rapidly volatilize at room temperature. Intermediate perceptions are fuller and require more heat and energy to emanate from the skin. Background perceptions of a fragrance form its fundamental basis. They are the most enduring perceptions. Maintaining top, middle, and bottom perceptions together involves the science of fasteners. A well-balanced fragrance usually presents itself with a bouquet with strong base perceptions, intermediate manifestations, and sparkling or unexpected top perceptions. While this is generally true, the opposite is often an unexpected pleasure as in the classic Channel ™ No. 5 fragrance, which is the most sparkling of top perceptions, with moderate to bottom perceptions.

Within each fragrance, the choice of solvent (or several co-solvents) often plays a critical role in fragrance stability, application characteristics, and durability. Typical fragrance ingredients (remember there are thousands to choose from) include terpineol, linalool, benzyl alcohol, benzaldehyde, ylang-ylang, and so on. To keep all these 25-100 ingredients together in one stable solution is no small task. Often the perfumer feels that they have a stable solution but then there is the formation of one crystal, then another, and quickly an avalanche of compounds shedding what was a clear solution.

Diethyl phthalate (DEP), dioctyl adipate (DOA), and propylene glycol are three of the solvents most commonly employed by perfumers in perfumery. The feruloylglycerides of the present invention bring a whole new dimension to the science of perfumery. It is a useful solvent that carries a wide variety of hydrophobic materials and some slightly hydrophilic in solution. Feruloyl glycerides of the present invention have shown possibilities of forming cleaved structures around individual fragrances and components, which will impair their stability, performance and attack resistance. As a partial triglyceride, the fatty acid ester and ferulic acid ester observe an unexpected synergy of solvent properties, antioxidant characteristics, UVa and UVb1 absorbance qualities, skin absorption characteristics, surface activity, and addition for application of the type. structural. Fragrances can be produced as alcoholic solutions, gels, solids, etc. They can be positioned as providing health benefits, rejuvenating benefits, environmental protectors, sunscreen fragrances as well as many other features. With some hydroxyl substitution and / or ethoxylation on the triglyceride moieties, the molecule may solubilize and / or emulsify hydrophilic materials.

The judging committee found that the formulation containing feruloyl glycerides performed better in terms of fragrance stability, application characteristics and durability compared to the control formulation containing DEP in place of feruloyl glycerides. And, a formulation containing DEP does not provide the same UV protection and rejuvenating attributes as a formulation containing feruloyl glycerides.

According to the invention an amount of feruloyl glyceride (which is a combination of a chain agent and a compound comprising at least one UV-absorbing chromophore) in a product for topical application as described above may be in any suitable range. but is typically around 10% by weight or less of the product. In a preferred embodiment, an amount of the combination of a chaining agent and a compound comprising at least one UV-absorbing chromophore in a product for topical application is in the range of about 3 to 10% by weight. For a phospholipid vitamin complex lotion, the amount of a combination of a chain agent and a compound comprising at least one UV-absorbing chromophore is preferably about 5% by weight. For a water resistant sunscreen, an amount of a sizing agent and a compound comprising at least one UV-absorbing chromophore is preferably about 8% by weight. For a hair conditioner, an amount of a combination of a locking agent and a compound comprising at least one UV-absorbing chromophore is preferably about 3% by weight. For a lip balm and / or lip balm, an amount of a combination of a chaining agent and a compound comprising at least one UV-absorbing chromophore is preferably about 10% by weight. For a shaving cream, an amount of a combination of a chain agent and a compound comprising at least one UV absorbing chromophore is preferably about 4 wt%. At each event the resulting combination incorporates topically acceptable agents other than the chain / chromophore agent such as feruloyl glyceride in an amount of about 90% by weight or more. The resulting combination comprises a synergistic mixture which is more interesting and effective compared to mixtures in which the sizing agent / chromophore combination (e.g. feruloyl glyceride) is absent. The embodiments of the invention, and the invention itself, are now described in exact, concise and clear terms to enable those of ordinary skill in the art to produce and use the invention. In particular and distinctly addressing the subject matter of the invention, the following claims conclude this specification. Suitable variations from preferred embodiments fall within the scope of the claims, are considered parts of the invention, and are claimed.
