A CO~PO~ITION FOR COSMETIC OR PHARMACEUTICAL USE

Abstract of the disclosure r .._ _. ~
The object of the present invention is a new compo-sition for cosmetic or pharmaceutical use. The compo-sition is intended exclusively for external use and i5 capable of treating efEectively various skin disorders.

Background of the invention The therapeutic action of vitamin A in its acid (retinoic acid), aldehyde (retinal) or alcohol form (retinol) is well known in dermatology.
The use oE a composition including both an ester of vitamin A and a stable emulsion of hydrogen peroxide was proposed in patent CH-A-670 951. Such an emulsion has a particularly high capacity for releasing oxygen (paraosmotic pressure of about 10 atm), the effect of which is in particular to increase the movement of the vitamin A d~rivative across the outer layers of the skin, where the conversion of the vitamin A ester into retinoic acid may proceed.
Katzberg has reported in Anat. Rec. 112, 418 ~1952) and later H. Pinkus in Dermatologica, 106, 28 (1953), that the life span of a human epidermal cell is of 101 days during the ten first years of life and decreases subsequently to 46 days at the age of 80. This means that time causes an ageing which is evidenced by a decreased capacity of the cells to regenerate the epidermis. When the energy which can be used physiologically by the cells is no longer sufficient, for instance because of an inadequate permeability of the capillaries or becau~e of an inade~uate capillary circulation, there is then an increase in the disappearance rate of the cells, which is accompanied by a significant impairment of their vital functions.
- 2 - ~03~

Whilst multiplication and growth of epidermal somatic cells require oxygen, the survival of cells is dependent upon glycolysis, which is an oxidative break-down of glucose. Actually, to keep its structure ready to function or to fulfil its functions, each individual cell of the body needs a large amount of energy.
Should the energy, or a part of the energy needed to keep the cell functioning, not be available, damages may occur which are reversible at the beginning, but which may lead to a loss of cell struct:ure and eventually to premature death, if not treated.
Up to now, no composition was available for cosmetic or for pharmaceutical use, which would associate the effects of vitamin A and of hydrogen peroxide and which could also supply the cell with the energy it needs.
The new composition according to the invention supplies this energy and, accordingly, is capable of restoring immediately the proper functioning of each individual cell, when the capillary insufficiency is due to an inadequate energy supply, which is particularly beneficial for cutaneous tissues.

The invention - Specifically, the object of the invention is a composition for cosmetic or for pharmaceutical use con taining vitamin A in the form of an ester, or as the acid and glucose, in association with a stable aqueous emul-sion of hydrogen peroxide.

Preferred emkodiments of the invention The energy is generated through the oxidative break-down of glucose, which is made possible due to an adequate oxygen supply from hydrogen peroxide.
Glucose is transported through the outer layers of the skin with vitamin A (ester or free acid) under the 2~3~

effect of the pressure exerted by nascent oxygen. The energy released through glycolysis can then be used under the skin.
Under in vivo conditions, t:he oxidative breakdown of 1 mole of glucose (C H 0 ~- 60 = 6C0 ~ 6H 0) results in the production of 690 kcal and is associated with the formation of 38 moles of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
Specifically, glycolysis is the oxidative breakdown of glucose in a living organism under the effect of enzymes. ATP is an energy-rich phosphate donor in nume-rous phosphorylation reactions and also plays a role in the synthesis of ribonucleic acids.
The application of the composition according to the invention, for example as a cream, ensures that a rapid breakdown of ATP to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) is main-tained in the cutaneous tissues in contact with said composition, whereby the energy necessar~ for the metabo-lism of the cell is released : for example, for the synthesis of collagen, which is an important factor for preserving in particular the elasticity of the derm.
The hydrogen peroxide emulsions, which can be used within the scope of the present invention, can be either of the water-in-oil, or oil-in-water type.
A stable oil-in-water emulsion of hydrogen peroxide particularly well suited for preparing a composition according to the invention is described in patent US-A-3 954 974.
Since no toxic by-products are formed during the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide, such emulsions can include a high concentration of nascent oxygen which reinforces all the more the action of vitamin A, while at the same time ensuring a release of energy as a result of its reaction with glucose.
Amongst the esters of vitamin A which can be used, one can preferably choose an ester of a fatty acid, such as the palmitate of vitamin A, or equally its acetate.

Such products are sold commercially under an appropriate form; the fatty acid esters of vitamin A have the further advantage of being well tolerated by the skin and the organism.
The relative concentrations of the ester of vitamin A or of the acid, and of glucose can vary considerably, depending upon the effects which are sought. The deriva-tive of vitamin A can be advantageously used at a concentration ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 international units tIU : expressed as vitamin A) per gram ~f the composition according to the invention.
As to the glucose, it is suitably included into the composition in an adequate molar proportion capable of producing through glycolysis, the amount of energy requi-red for the cell metabolism. Preferably, one can use glucose in an amount ranging from 0.5 to ~0 / in weight, based on the weight of the composition.
The concentrations of hydrogen peroxide in the com-position obviously vary according to the oxygenating effect which is sought. In the case of a composition for cosmetic use, hydrogen peroxide is used in an amount ranging from 0.5 to 4% in weight (expressed as 10~ H O ) and in the case of a composition for pharmaceutical use, from 0.1 to 6% in weight or more depending on circumstan-ces, based on the weight of the total composition.
Due to the well balanced nature of the emulsion composition, the excess oxygen generated not only produ-ces an immediate oxidative breakdown of glucose, but further ensures that the palmitate or the acetate of vitamin A are converted into retinoic acid and that the extracellular medium is enriched with oxygen and water, these two products resulting from the breakdown of hydro-gen peroxide.
Of course, the compositions according to the inven-tion, can also contain the usual stabilizers, thickeners, perfumes or colouring agents. They can also contain additional active components, for example other vitamins - 5 - ~ ~3.~7~

and vitamine derivatives such as vitamin E, or liposomes.
Being based on an aqueous emulsion with a high oxygenating capacity, the compositions according to the invention further display highly advantageous disinfec-ting and cicatrizing properties, which are useful for treating burns, open wounds such as ulcers or complica-tions arising from hemorrhoids.
The following examples are given for the purpose of illustrating the invention in more detail. These examples are in no way intended to be limiting.

Example 1 - A cosmetic composition A first phase of the "oil" type is prepared by mixing together the following components :
Petrolatum 450 g Liquid paraffin 325 g Cetyl alcohol 160 g Stearyl alcohol 160 g Monostearin 310 g Total 1405 g The following components are mixed together separa-tely, to prepare a "water" type phase :
H22' 30~400 g = 0.353 moles/kg of cream "Tween 80" 125 g Salicylic acid 9 g Vitamin A palmitate*63 g D,L-~-tocopherol acetate 200 g Glucose18 g = 0.01 moles/kg of cream Distilled water 7780 g Total 8595 g * 1.7 million IU/g ~3~7r~

The "oil" and the "water" phases thus prepared are then mixed together in an appropriate apparatus at a temperature comprised between 70 and 80 C, until a homogeneous emulsion is achieved. 10 kg of cream for cosmetic use are thus obtained, which contain 1.1~ active oxygen, 0.01 moles/kg of glucose and 10,000 IU of vitamin A palmitate/g of cream.

Example 2 - A cosmetic composition A first phase of the "oil" type is prepared by mixing together the following components :

H2O2, 30% 1176 g "Tween 80" 150 g Salicylic acid 11 g Glucose 18 g Retinoic acid "Trétinoïne" 5 g Distilled water 6865 a Total 8225 g Tne "oil" and the "water" phases thus prepared are then mixed together in an appropriate apparatus at a temperature comprised between 70 and 80 C, until a homogeneous emulsion is achieved. 10 kg of cream for pharmaceutical use are thus obtained, which contain 3.5~
active oxygen (hydrogen peroxide), 0.01 moles/~g of glu-cose and 0.05~ of retinoic acid (Trétinoïne).
These compositions are perfectly well suited for numerous cosmetic or pharmaceutical uses and they proved to be particularly effective in cosmetic applications for ~13~

preventing skin ageing. They can also be used for the treatment of benign disorders of the skin, such as acne.
Further, these compositions have a disinfecting effect.
