Description

CLEAR SUNSCREEN GELS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to skin care cosmetic compositions and methods of using the same. In particular, the present invention relates to novel clear, alcohol-free sunscreen gels and methods of use thereof.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The negative effects of exposure to sunlight are well known. For example, prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause short term damage such as sunburn and premature aging of the skin when skin is exposed to UV radiation having a wavelength of from about 290 nm to abut 400 nm. Moreover, long term damage can lead to serious conditions such as skin cancer. As a result of such health hazards caused by excessive sun exposure, sunscreen products continue to be in demand. Therefore, the market provides a variety of sunscreen products, including daily wear products which contain sunscreens. With the increased use of such sunscreen products, consumer demands require the development of sunscreen product that are not only effective shields against the sun's rays, but also are aesthetically pleasing upon application to the skin.
Clear cosmetic compositions are commonly used for antiperspirants and hair gels. Such compositions typically comprise polyols and silicone emulsifiers whose refractive indices are matched to provide transparent emulsions, otherwise known as gels. However, in conventional clear sunscreens, the silicone elastomers normally used do not thicken the sunscreen component sufficiently, so that additional waxes are needed. Unfortunately, the additional waxes destroy the clarity of the conventional clear sunscreen compositions and result in compositions that are often too thick and therefore unappealing to the consumer. Moreover, the conventional sunscreen compositions typically contain alcohols, which may cause irritation and dry the skin upon application of the sunscreen products.
Therefore, there remains a need for improved clear sunscreen gel compositions that have sufficient thickness but at the same time maintain the desired clarity and are aesthetically pleasing to the consumer. Further, there is a need for improved clear sunscreen gel compositions that are essentially free of alcohol and therefore non-irritating to the skin.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention at one aspect relates to a cosmetic composition comprising at least one chemical ultra-violet (UV) light absorber, at least one solvent and at least one diphenyl silicone elastomer gellant, wherein the composition is transparent and is essentially free of alcohol. The term "transparent" as used herein refers to a composition or material having a refractive index (RI) that matches the RI of its surroundings, i.e., such a composition or material is transparent within and relative to its functional environment. Preferably, a transparent composition or material as described by the present invention exhibits a light transmission value of greater than about 70%, more preferably greater than about 75%, and will not exhibit any light scattering property.
The term "essentially free of alcohol" as used herein refers to a composition or material having an ethyl alcohol content of less than about 0.5% by total weight of the composition or material.
At another aspect, the present invention relates to a method of using the above- described transparent cosmetic composition for protecting skin against harmful effects of UV radiation, by applying such a transparent cosmetic composition to the skin.
Other aspects and objectives of the present invention will become more apparent from the ensuring description, examples, and claims.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION AND PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS THEREOF
Except in operating and comparative examples, or where otherwise explicitly indicated, all numbers in this description indicating amounts or ratios of material or conditions of reaction, physical properties of materials and/or use are to be understood as modified by the word "about." All amounts are by weight of the final composition, unless otherwise specified.
In the present invention, it has been surprisingly found that by combining a specific diphenyl silicone elastomer gellant and one or more specific non-alcohol solvent(s) with a chemical UV light absorber, a stable, alcohol-free, and transparent cosmetic composition can be formed, which is particularly useful as an aesthetically appealing clear sunscreen gel. The term "stable" as used herein refers to a composition having sufficient physical and chemical stability so that the composition does not separate or precipitate when all of the components are added. The term "aesthetically appealing" as used herein refers to a composition having a powdery, velvety, and silky texture upon application onto the skin. As a first essential component of the transparent cosmetic composition of the present invention, a chemical UV light absorber is used. The chemical UV light absorber can be any suitable chemical UV light absorbers commonly used in cosmetic compositions. Specific examples of suitable chemical UV light absorbers include, but are not limited to: benzophenone-3, homosalate, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, avobenzone, ethylhexyl salicylate and octocrylene and combinations thereof. Preferably, the chemical UV light absorber is present in the transparent cosmetic composition of the present invention at an amount ranging from about 1% to about 20%, more preferably from about 2% to about 15%, by total weight of the composition. Particularly, the transparent cosmetic composition of the present invention does not include any physical UV absorbers, such as titanium oxide and zinc oxide, which are known to destroy the clarity of the composition.
As a second essential component of the transparent cosmetic composition of the present invention, at least one solvent system is used. The solvent system can comprise any suitable solvent or solvents for solubilizing and carrying the chemical UV light absorber. Specific examples of suitable solvents include, but are not limited to: dimethicone (such as DM-fluid A-6CS available from Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. at Tokyo, Japan), dicaprylyl carbonate (such as cetiol® CC available from Cognis Corporation at Cincinnati, OH), lauryl lactate (such as ceraphyl® 31 available from International Specialty Products at Wayne, NJ), neopentyl glycol diheptanoate (such as Lexfeel® 7 available from Inolex Chemical Co. at Philadelphia, PA), glycerin, and combinations thereof. Preferably, but not necessarily, the composition of the present invention comprises a silicone-based solvent, such as dimethicone, which is particularly compatible with the chemical UV light absorbers described hereinabove. The solvent(s) may be present in an amount ranging from about 1% to about 30%, preferably, from about 10% to about 29%, and most preferably from about 15% to about 28%, by total weight of the composition.
It is known that chemical UV light absorbers are mostly in powder form with low clarity. High amounts of ethyl alcohol have been used in conventional sunscreen compositions to enhance solubility of such chemical UV light absorbers. However, sunscreen compositions with high ethyl alcohol content usually causes irritation upon application of the compositions to the skin. In the present invention, it has been surprisingly discovered that a third essential ingredient, i.e., a diphenyl silicone elastomer gellant, and more specifically, a diphenyl silicone elastomer gellant comprising diphenylsiloxy phenyl trimethicone, can be used to effectively enhance the solubility of the chemical UV light absorbers, in the absence of ethyl alcohol. While not wishing to be bound by any theories, it is believed that the diphenyl group of the silicone elastomer gellant interacts with the diphenyl group of the UV absorber and thereby enhancing solubility of the UV absorber in the composition. The total amount of diphenylsiloxy phenyl trimethicone in the sunscreen composition of the present invention may range from about 1% to about 50% by total weight of the composition. In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the diphenyl silicone elastomer gellant comprises a mixture of diphenylsiloxy phenyl trimethicone and dimethicone/phenyl vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer. Preferably, such a mixture comprises from about 80% to about 90% of diphenylsiloxy phenyl trimethicone and from about 10% to about 20% of dimethicone/phenyl vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer by total weight of the mixture. For example, KSG-18A available from Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. at Tokyo, Japan, which is a mixture comprising about 85 wt% of diphenylsiloxy phenyl trimethicone and about 15 wt% of dimethicone/phenyl vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer, is used as the diphenyl silicone elastomer gellant in the compositions of the present invention. If KSG-18 A is used in the composition of the present invention as the gellant, it may present in an amount ranging from 35% to about 55%, more preferably about 40% to about 50%, and most preferably from about 44% to about 46%, by total weight of each composition.
In another specific embodiment of the present invention, the diphenyl silicone elastomer gellant comprises a mixture of diphenylsiloxy phenyl trimethicone, dimethicone/phenyl vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer, and methyl trimethicone. Preferably, such a mixture comprises from about 10% to about 15% of diphenylsiloxy phenyl trimethicone, from about 25% to about 35% of dimethicone/phenyl vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer, and from about 55% to about 60% of methyl trimethicone, by total weight of the mixture. For example, X-21-5652D available from Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. at Tokyo, Japan, which is a mixture comprising about 13 wt% of diphenylsiloxy phenyl trimethicone, about 30 wt% of dimethicone/phenyl vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer, and about 57 wt% of methyl trimethicone, is used as the diphenyl silicone elastomer gellant in the compositions of the present invention. If X-21-5652D is used in the composition of the present invention as the gellant, it may present in an amount ranging from about 5% to about 25%, more preferably from about 7% to about 20%, and most preferably from about 10% to about 17% by total weight of the composition.
In yet another embodiment of the present invention, the diphenyl silicone elastomer gellant may comprise a first mixture of diphenylsiloxy phenyl trimethicone and dimethicone/phenyl vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer (e.g., KSG- 18A), and a second mixture of diphenylsiloxy phenyl trimethicone, dimethicone/phenyl vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer, and methyl trimethicone (e.g., X-21-5652D), as described hereinabove.
In order to further improve the texture of the transparent cosmetic composition of the present invention, a hybrid silicone powder with a silicone rubber core coated with a silicone resin shell can optionally be added to such composition. Specific examples of hybrid silicone powders suitable for use in the present invention include, but are not limited to the KSP-100 powders available from Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. at Tokyo, Japan, which comprise a vinyl dimethicone/methicone silsesquioxane crosspolymer. The KSP-100 hybrid silicone powders provide a uniquely soft, silky feel with good dispersibility/spreadability and reduced agglomeration. IfKSP-IOO is used in the composition of the present invention, it may present in an amount ranging from about 0.5% to about 10%, more preferably from about 1% to about 5%, by total weight of the composition.
Further, the transparent cosmetic composition of the present invention may optionally comprise a thickener for improving the viscosity of the composition without adversely affecting its clarity and aesthetical appeal to customers. Preferably, the thickener comprises a dimethicone/phenyl vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer. More preferably, the thickener comprises a mixture of the dimethicone/phenyl vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer with phenyl trimethicone, such as the KSG-18 silicone paste available from Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. at Tokyo, Japan. If KSG- 18 is used in the composition of the present invention as the gellant, it may present in an amount ranging from 35% to about 55%, more preferably about 40% to about 50%, and most preferably from about 44% to about 46%, by total weight of each composition.
The transparent cosmetic composition of the present invention as described hereinabove is preferably anhydrous, i.e., containing less than about 0.5% of water by total weight of the composition, and alcohol-free, i.e., containing less than about 0.5% of ethyl alcohol by total weight of the composition. More preferably, the composition of the present invention is in form of a gel emulsion and has a viscosity in the range of 16,000 cps to 28,000 cps.
Other biological active agents can be added to the present inventive compositions as desired, as long as the clarity and viscosity are not compromised. Routine experimentation can determine the amounts required to retain a stable composition. The type of biological active agent added, can be any which is beneficially used in a topical cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition.
