Description

COSMETIC COMPOSITION, PROCESS OF MANUFACTURING THE COSMETIC COMPOSITION AND USE OF THE COSMETIC COMPOSITION FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is directed to new cosmetic compositions with high SPF, dry touch sensorial and a decreased white film with a more transparent appearance on the skin, the uses of said cosmetic compositions and a process of manufacturing the cosmetic compositions.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

It is known that the photoprotection of keratinous materials, including skin and hair, is considered of great importance in order to protect from sun-damage, sunburn, photo-aging, as well as to decrease the chances of skin cancer development caused by exposure to ultraviolet (“UV”) radiation. There are typically two types of UVA/UVB cosmetic compositions used to accomplish photoprotection, namely, inorganic UV filters and organic UV filters.

The degree of UV protection afforded by a cosmetic composition is directly related to the amount and type of UV filters contained therein. The higher the amount of UV filters, the greater the degree of UV protection (UVA/UVB).

It is important to point out that the sensorial performance in sunscreen products are very sensible and crucial to the consumers. Particularly, cosmetic compositions must provide good protection against the sun, a measure of which is the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) value, yet have satisfactory sensory perception, such as a smooth but not greasy feel upon application and a decreased white film with a more transparent appearance on the skin. However, this combination of properties has been difficult to achieve, particularly because many active sunscreen compounds themselves have an oily or greasy feel and leave a white film on the skin.

Furthermore, most sunscreen filters are oil-like and/or oil-soluble materials. High levels of sunscreen filters in sunscreen products render the products less appealing for their greasy skin feel, stickiness, long drying time, and leave shiny and white residue on the skin after application.

Additionally, an important problem of cosmetic compositions is that, due to the great amount of sunscreen filters associated with great amount of additional ingredients to ensure the good sensoriality in the O/W emulsion, it tends to be unstable.

Therefore, it is a big challenge to bring dry touch to a cosmetic composition with high amount of oily phase and even more difficult to reduce the white film when applied on the skin, maintaining the robustness and stability of the composition.

Hence, a stable cosmetic composition is desired, associated with easy application, good spreadability, less shine, dry touch, high SPF values and no white film, combining high protection of the skin.

In this sense, the inventors succeeded to overcome the problems of the state of the art and surprisingly revealed a stable cosmetic composition, even at high concentrations of UV filters, having a light feel and pleasant sensorial as described above, through a specific combination of (i) a phase A comprising an organic UV filter system and a (ii) phase B comprising silica silylate and cellulose.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is directed to new cosmetic compositions comprising (i) a phase A comprising an organic UV filter system and (ii) a phase B comprising silica silylate and cellulose.

The composition of the present invention is stable over the time, also presents a high level of UV-protection in order to protect the skin from the damages of the sun, easy application, good spreadability, less shine, dry touch and a decreased white film with a more transparent appearance when applied on the skin.

Further to such the organic UV filter system, the composition of the present invention may comprise UV filters selected from the group of inorganic UV filters and organic UV filters, and mixtures thereof.

Inorganic UV Filters

The composition, according to the present invention, may comprises at least one inorganic UV filter. If two or more inorganic UV filters are used, they may be the same or different.

The inorganic UV filter used for the present invention may be active in the UV-A and/or UV-B region. The inorganic UV filter may be hydrophilic and/or lipophilic. The inorganic UV filter is in some embodiments insoluble in solvents, such as water, and ethanol commonly used in cosmetics.

It is in some embodiments desirable that the inorganic UV filter be in the form of a fine particle such that the mean (primary) particle diameter thereof ranges from about 1 nm to about 50 nm, and in some embodiments from about 5 nm to about 40 nm, and in some embodiments from about 10 nm to about 30 nm. The mean (primary) particle size or mean (primary) particle diameter here is an arithmetic mean diameter.

The inorganic UV filter can be selected from the group consisting of silicon carbide, metal oxides which may or may not be coated, and mixtures thereof. And in some embodiments, the inorganic UV filters are selected from pigments (mean size of the primary particles: generally from about 5 nm to about 50 nm, and in some embodiments from about 10 nm to about 50 nm) formed of metal oxides, such as, for example, pigments formed of titanium oxide (amorphous or crystalline in the rutile and/or anatase form), iron oxide, zinc oxide, zirconium oxide, or cerium oxide, which are all UV photoprotective agents that are well known per se. And in some embodiments, the inorganic UV filters are selected from titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and, in some embodiments, titanium oxide.

The inorganic UV filter may or may not be coated. The inorganic UV filter may have at least one coating. The coating may comprise at least one compound selected from the group consisting of alumina, silica, aluminum hydroxide, silicones, silanes, fatty acids or salts thereof (such as sodium, potassium, zinc, iron, or aluminum salts), fatty alcohols, lecithin, amino acids, polysaccharides, proteins, alkanolamines, waxes, such as beeswax, (meth)acrylic polymers, organic UV filters, and (per)fluoro compounds. It is in some embodiments desirable for the coating to include at least one organic UV filter. As the organic UV filter in the coating, a dibenzoylmethane derivative, such as butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane (Avobenzone) and 2,2'-Methylenebis[6-(2H- Benzotriazol-2-yl)-4-(l,l,3,3-Tetramethyl-Butyl) Phenol] (Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol), such as marketed as "TINOSORB M" by BASF, may be desirable.

In a known manner, the silicones in the coating(s) may be organosilicon polymers or oligomers comprising a linear or cyclic and branched or cross-linked structure, of variable molecular weight, obtained by polymerization and/or polycondensation of suitable functional silanes and essentially composed of repeated main units in which the silicon atoms are connected to one another via oxygen atoms (siloxane bond), optionally substituted hydrocarbon radicals being connected directly to said silicon atoms via a carbon atom.

The term “silicones” also encompasses silanes necessary for their preparation, in particular alkylsilanes. The silicones used for the coating(s) can be and in some embodiments are selected from the group consisting of alkylsilanes, polydialkylsiloxanes, and polyalkylhydrosiloxanes. And in some embodiments still, the silicones are selected from the group consisting of octyltrimethylsilane, polydimethylsiloxanes, and polymethylhydrosiloxanes.

Of course, the inorganic UV filters made of metal oxides may, before their treatment with silicones, have been treated with other surfacing agents, in particular with cerium oxide, alumina, silica, aluminum compounds, silicon compounds, or their mixtures. The coated inorganic UV filter may have been prepared by subjecting the inorganic UV filter to one or more surface treatments of a chemical, electronic, mechano-chemical, and/or mechanical nature with any of the compounds as described above, as well as polyethylenes waxes, metal alkoxides (titanium or aluminum alkoxides), metal oxides, sodium hexametaphosphate, and those shown, for example, in Cosmetics & Toiletries, February 1990, Vol. 105, pp. 53-64.

PHASE B

The phase B of the present invention is a water phase which comprises silica silylate and cellulose.

Silica Silylate

The “silica silylate” according to the present invention is a porous material obtained by replacing (by drying) the liquid component of a silica gel with air. Silica aerogels are generally synthesized via 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 makes it possible to avoid shrinkage of the pores and of 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.

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

The size of the silica silylate particles may be measured by static light scattering using a commercial granulometer such as the MasterSizer 2000 machine 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 especially described in the publication by Van de Hulst, H.C., "Light Scattering by Small Particles," Chapters 9 and 10, Wiley, New York, 1957.

The silica silylate particles used in the present invention may advantageously have a tamped (or tapped) density ranging from about 0.04 g/cm³ to about 0.10 g/cm³ _’ or alternatively from about 0.05 g/cm³ to about 0.08 g/cm³. In the context of the present invention, this density, known as the tamped density, may be assessed according to the following protocol: 40 g of powder are poured into a measuring cylinder; the measuring cylinder is then placed on a Stav 2003 machine from Stampf Volumeter; the measuring cylinder is then subjected to a series of 2500 packing motions (this operation is repeated until the difference in volume between two consecutive tests is less than 2%); the final volume Vf of packed powder is then measured directly on the measuring cylinder. The tamped density is determined by the ratio m/Vf, in this instance 40/Vf (Vf being expressed in cm³ and m in g).

According to one embodiment, the silica silylate particles used in the present invention have a specific surface area per unit of volume Sv ranging from about 5 to about 60 m²/cm³, or alternatively from about 10 to about 50 m²/cm³, or alternatively from about 15 to about 40 m²/cm³. The specific surface area per unit of volume is given by the relationship: Sv = SM.r where r is the tamped density expressed in g/cm³ and SM is the specific surface area per unit of mass expressed in m²/g, as defined above. In some embodiments, the silica silylate particles, according to the invention, have an oil-absorbing 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-absorbing capacity measured at the wet point, noted Wp, corresponds to the amount of water that needs to be added to 100 g of particle in order to obtain a homogeneous paste. Wp is measured according to the wet point method or the method for determining the oil uptake of a powder described in 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, and the oil (isononyl isononanoate) is then added dropwise. After addition of 4 to 5 drops of oil to the powder, mixing is performed using a spatula, and addition of oil is continued until a conglomerate of oil and powder has formed. At this point, the oil is added one drop at a time and the mixture is then triturated with the spatula. The addition of oil is stopped when a firm, smooth paste is obtained. This paste must be able to be spread on the glass plate without cracking or forming lumps. The volume Vs (expressed in ml) of oil used is then noted. The oil uptake corresponds to the ratio Vs/m.

The silica silylate according to the present invention, is a hydrophobic silica aerogel. The term "hydrophobic silica" means any silica whose surface is treated with silylating agents, for example, 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, trimethylsilyl groups. Preparation of hydrophobic silica aerogel particles that have been surface- modified by silylation, is found in U.S. Patent No. 7,470,725, incorporated herein by reference. In one embodiment, silica silylate particles surface-modified with trimethylsilyl groups are desirable.
