CONDITION lug, COSMETIC AND PHA~IACEUTICAL FEALTIES

The present invention is directed to skin conditioning 5 polymers which when applied to skin form thin films which aid in reducing moisture loss. The invention relates on general to film forming polyvinyl alcohol polymer derivatives end specifically to those having certain cat ionic qua ternary nitrogen containing pendant groups. Of particular interest are polymers having a 10 polyvinyl alcohol backbone or base chain with pendant substituent qua ternary ammonium groups attached through oxygen linkages to the chain and spaced at random along the base chain. As a result of the presence of these qua ternary amm~nium groups in the polymer, thin film coatings on animal skin penetrate the outer layers of 15 the skin to provide sufficient adhesive properties while remaining sufficiently elastomeric to avoid discomfort after drying. While the thin films act as a partially impenetrable barrier to prevent loss of moisture by evaporation they also behave as moisture retainers through the possible formation of hydrates at the 20 qua ternary anl~onium sites and by inclusion of water molecules through hydrogen bonding on the hydrophilic polymer matrix. In general the compositions are made by treating readily available polyvinyl alcohol polymers with hydroxy reactive compounds containing quaternized anonym groups linked thereto.
It is an object of the invention to provide for a quarter nary nitrogen containing polyvinyl alcohol polymer base chain (having a number average molecular weight of at least 2,00Q
and preferably up to about 200,000 and higher when unmodified) and a random distribution of a multiplicity of oxy-linked pendant 30 groups having the general formula:

Another object is to provide for a 10 preferred process for the synthesis of such compositions. It is still another object to provide for aqueous solutions containing 0.1-307~ by weight of these polymers which are useful in skin conditioning lotions, ointments, cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations for application to hair, skin and nails. Another 15 object is to provide for a film forming polymer which also performs as a dispersant for particulate in such formulations.
R in the above formula may be selected from alkyd groups such as ethylene, ethylene, propylene, battalion, pentylene, hexylene, ethylhexylene, dodecylene, tetradecylene, hexadecylene, 20 octadecylene, and substituted alkyd groups such as hydroxy-propylene, hydroxybutylene, acutely, propionyl, bitterly, octal decanoyl, and octadecenoyl and their equivalents.
Al, R2, and Pi may be selected from the alkyd groups such as methyl, ethyl, propel, bottle, ponytail, Huxley, octal, decal, 25 dodecyl, tridecyl, tetradecyl, hexadecyl, octadecyl, octadecenyl, phonology and bouncily and their equivalents.
may be selected from a large number of anions such as chloride, bromide, iodide hydroxide lower alkylsulfate (1-6 carbon atoms), tetrafluoroborate, nitrate and per chlorate to name 30~s~few.
The qua ternary nitrogen containing polyvinyl alcohol I; polymer compositions of the invention may be represented by a typical polymer segment having the following idealized structural formula ::

' Illustrative of the types of numerous pendant qu~ternary groups linked by oxygen as randomly distributed units in the polyvinyl alcohol base chain may be given as follows:

(l) -CH2CH(OH)CH2N (C~3)3 ( 2 [SHEA (C~3)3Cl ]O)nCH2CH(OH)CH2N+(C~3)3Cl-n = 1-20

4) -CH2CH(OH)C~2ll (CH3)2(CH2P ) ( ) CH2CH2~l (cH3)(cH2c~3)(cH2ph)cH3so4 where Pi = phenol.

While the above structures serve to illustrate the types 15 of pendant qua ternary ammonium groups which can be added to the polyvinyl alcohol base chain it is apparent to one skilled in the art that many other arrangements of similar chemical structure can be easily incorporated. It has been found that each of the above types of groups used alone or in combination with one or more of Thea others as a substituent on the polyvinyl alcohol base chain yields the desired combination of products having useful moisture barrier properties especially whorl the nitrogen content of the final product ranges from 0.01%-7% and preferably .01-3~ by White Depending on the type of radical attached to the nitrogen.
2~5 of~the~quaternary group the effective range of the nitrogen content could be even more specific It has been found for ' ~L236~

example what when the Al, I R3, in the above general formulas are all methyl radicals the effective nitrogen content may range from 0.1-3~ by weight.
While many techniques have been employed in the art to add 'substituent qua ternary groups to vary polymer charge four preferred methods for attaching the substituent groups to polyvinyl alcohol im701ve the reaction of the hydroxy groups Or polyvinyl alcohol with an epoxy (oxirane) group or a halohydrin group in aqueous solution, or a low molecular weight alkyd alcohol 10 ester of the sllbstituent in a bipolar aprotic solution or an acid halide in either a bipolar aprotic solvent or a two phase system in the presence of base catalyst or acid catalyst when appropriate.
While a number of methods may be utilized for the 15 preparation of the PEA derivatives described in this invention, the use of non-aqueous solvents such as dim ethyl formamide or similar polar materials is possible, but generally these solvents must be thoroughly removed from the final product. The use Or aqueous solvents or mixed aqueous systems is preferable but, in 20 this case, yields must be optimized because of competitive reactions of the qua ternary ammonium compound with water as well as PEA hydroxyls in the presence of catalyst. Improved yields can be obtained by increasing the PEA concentration in water, adding the oxirane compound as a concentrate and reducing to a minimum 25 the amount of base used to catalyze the addition reaction. Salt formed during the reaction is preferentially removed from the final product, since it may have a deleterious effect on the skin moisture barrier properties and its formulation. It has also been found that the pi of the derivatized PEA may affect the skin 30 moisture barrier properties as well as the substantivity to skin..
It is generally desirable to work in a pi range between 2-10 preferably from 5-9.
The product can be obtained in a dry form by precipitation, filtering, drying and grinding. The precipitation 35 is accomplished by adding the reaction mixture to a nonsolvent such as acetone, methanol, ethanol and the like. The product also finds use in the form of the aqueous solution or suspension which :,...

Moisture Barrier Test On per While the modified polyvinyl alcohol polymers of the invention are best tested for retentivity, substantivity and moisture barrier film forming properties on living animal spin an indication of their effectiveness as a moisture barrier eon be obtained by testing on filter paper. In the test results listed in the following Table 1 a 2.5 inch circle of number 1 Whitman 10 filter p&per was treated with aqueous solutions containing from 5-10/o by weight of the modified polymer as described if. the examples to obtain a polymer film deposit amounting to about 0.1 gram when dried at room temperature. The test is carried out by taking about 2 grams of aqueous solution of the modified polymer 15 and dropping it over a water wet circle of filter paper from one side. The saturated paper is permitted to dry overnight at room temperature and weighed. Depending on the concentration of solution the procedure may be repeated until the weight pickup is about 0.1 gram so that each filter paper is treated with 20 substantially an equal amount of polymer. The dry paper is sealed over the opening of a test cell containing 100 grams of water arid permitted to stand or 1~0 hours in a constant humidity and typewriter room at 70F at 40% relative humidity. The weight of water passing through the paper under these conditions is measured 25 by weighing the amount of water remaining in the test cell. Each test employs a control cell containing the identical paper having no polymer treatment. Considering the weight loss through untreated paper as lC0 thy test results which are listed as percentage reduction in evaporation of water are calculated from Thea water remaining in the cell. The paper test results provide a rough indication of effectiveness as a moisture barrier for further testing on animal skin.

Compares skin elasticity (petroleum jelly produces maximum elasticity - approximately 28 units) The use of unmodified polyvinyl alcohol polymer- in film forming ointment bases and barrier creams for use in protecting the skin against the action of Paternal irritants has met with only limited success (JOB. Ward and G. J. Spurned, "American Perfumer and Cosmetics" Volume 79, pages 53-55 (1964)). Film forming creams are difficult to produce with polyvinyl alcohol because they are either very difficult to formulate because of 10 their poor mixing characteristics or whey form poor fullers.
Lotions and creams made with polyvinyl alcohol in general lack elegance, that is, the in-vitro films made from ointments and lotions containing about 15% polyvinyl alcohol are either slow drying, become greasy and tacky and eventually leave a film which 15 is hard and leathery. Furthermore, Good PEA moisture barrier films usually are very hard to remove from the skin because whey are difficult to remove with soap and water.
The problems associated with employing unmodified PEA in film forming bases are substantially overcome by the compositions 20 of this invention in that they are easily dispersible in water are compatible with typical lotion formulations, and when applied to the surface of the skin, they dry quickly to form an elastic, smooth pellicle which retains its integrity over long periods of time and is easily removed with soap and water. Tests for 25 pharmaceutical elegance is accomplished by applying typical moisture barrier lotion formulas to the back of the hand and making observations with respect to ease of application, feel on the skin, time of drying, durability of the film, ease of removal and a host of subjective factors. In most instances, the 30 formulations evaluated do not adversely effect the film forming characteristics of the modified polyvinyl alcohol compositions of this invention. The aqueous moisture barrier compositions of the invention generally have a lotion consistency and may be in the form of oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions with the former 35 being preferred because of their more pleasing cosmetic ' .

properties. The lotions are preferably Audi by first preparing the oil phase then preparing the water phase and thereafter adding the water phase to the oil phase. Usually the aqueous phase to heated to a temperature of about 70 to about 80~C and then added sly with stirring to the oil phase which is heated to about the same temperature.
The oil phase components may contain a variety of materials including emulsifiers, emollients, oils, waxes, perfumes, lanolin, polyalkylenes, strolls and the like.
