Description

Cosmetic Compositions
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to cosmetic compositions and in particular to long- lasting fragrance compositions.
Background to the Invention
It has long been a feature of cosmetic compositions that they comprise a fragrance. The addition of a fragrance can mask unpleasant odours or can improve consumer acceptance of a composition through delivering a pleasant smell. Indeed, the sole purpose of some compositions is the application of a pleasant odour to the skin, hair or other suitable substrate. However, for the most part, the fragrant effect of these compositions is transitory and the fragrance quickly becomes imperceptible.
Attempts have been made to improve the longevity of the fragrance. For instance, the fragrance may be formulated in such a way as to include a higher proportion of fragrance materials with a low volatility. This means the fragrance persists for longer. However, using less volatile materials restricts the fragrance characters that can be achieved. It has also been suggested that it may be possible to utilise cyclic oligosaccharides, and in particular cyclodextrins. For example, JP-A-50/63126 discloses perfume and cyclodextrin complexes for use in bath preparations and JP-A-7/241333 discloses a long-lasting, room deodorising composition containing a fragrance and cyclodextrin.
One drawback of using cyclic oligosaccharides is that they are only sparingly soluble in commonly used solvents. Attempts have been made to increase the solubility of cyclic oligosaccharides by introducing various substituents. See, for example, JP-A-6/287127, JP-A-8/176587, JP-A-10/120541 , JP-A-62/161720 and JP-A-63/192706 all of which disclose compositions comprising perfume and substituted cyclodextrins. However, it is difficult to achieve a long-lasting, perceptible fragrance while at the same time having a desirable 'burst' of fragrance on application of the product. In addition, it is difficult to form a fragrancexyclic oligosaccharide complex with the correct stability profile so that enough fragrance is released over a sufficiently long period time to provide a long lasting effect.
Surprisingly, it has been found that compositions comprising fragrance and greater than 1.2%, by weight, cyclic oligosaccharide having an average degree of substitution of at least about 1.6 provide an initial burst of fragrance and improved fragrance longevity.
While not wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the stability profile of the complexes formed between the fragrance and the cyclic oligosaccharides of the present invention is such that a perceptible amount of fragrance is released over a sufficiently long time to satisfy the consumers desire for long lasting fragrance.
Summary of the invention
According to the present invention there is provided cosmetic compositions comprising: (a) fragrance; and
(b) greater than 1.2%, by weight, cyclic oligosaccharide having an average degree of substitution of at least about 1.6
The compositions of the present invention provide a long-lasting fragrance while at the same time having a 'burst' of fragrance on application.
All percentages herein are by weight of the composition unless otherwise indicated. All ratios are weight ratios unless otherwise indicated. Unless otherwise indicated, all percentages, ratios, and levels of ingredients referred to herein are based on the actual amount of the ingredient, and do not include solvents, fillers, or other materials which may be combined with the ingredient in commercially available products.
All documents referred to herein, including all patents, all patent applications and all articles, are hereby incorporated herein by reference in their entirety unless otherwise indicated.
Detailed description of the invention
The present invention relates to compositions comprising two essential elements, fragrance and greater than 1.2%, by weight, cyclic oligosaccharide having an average degree of substitution of at least about 1.6. These two elements will be described in more detail below.
Fragrance
An essential feature of the present compositions is that they comprise fragrance material. As used herein the term "fragrance" is used to indicate any odouriferous material. Any fragrance material suitable for use in cosmetic compositions may be used herein but the fragrance will most often be liquid at ambient temperatures. Preferably, the fragrance material will be present at a level of from about 0.01 % to about 40%, more preferably from about 0.5% to about 30%, even more preferably from about 2.5% to about 25%, even more preferably still from about 8% to about 15%, by weight, of total composition.
A wide variety of chemicals are known for fragrance uses, including materials such as aldehydes, ketones and esters. More commonly, naturally occurring plant and animal oils and exudates comprising complex mixtures of various chemical components are known for use as fragrances. The fragrance materials useful herein include pro-fragrances such as acetal pro-fragrances, ketal pro- fragrances, ester pro-fragrances, hyrdolyzable inorganic-organic pro-fragrances and mixtures thereof. The fragrance material may be released from the pro- fragrances in a number of ways. For example, the fragrance may be released as a result of simple hydrolysis, or by a shift in an equilibrium reaction, or by a pH- change, or by enzymatic release. The fragrances herein can be relatively simple in their compositions, comprising a single chemical, or can comprise highly sophisticated complex mixtures of natural and synthetic chemical components, all chosen to provide any desired odour.
Preferably the fragrance materials of the present invention will have boiling points (BP) of about 500°C or lower, more preferably about 400°C or lower, even more preferably about 350°C or lower. The BP of many fragrance materials are given in Perfume and Flavor Chemicals (Aroma Chemicals), Steffen Arctander (1969).
The ClogP value of the fragrance materials useful herein is preferably greater than about 0.1 , more preferably greater than about 0.5, even more preferably greater than about 1.0, even more preferably still greater than about 1.2. As used herein the term "ClogP" means the logarithm to the base 10 of the octanol/water partition coefficient. This can be readily calculated from a program called "CLOGP" which is available from Daylight Chemical Information Systems
Inc., Irvine CA, USA. Octanol/water partition coefficients are described in more detail in US-A-5,578,563. Suitable fragrance materials can be found in US-A-4,145,184, US-A-4,209,417, US-A-4, 515,705, and US-A-4, 152,272. Examples of fragrances useful herein include, but are not limited to, animal fragrances such as musk oil, civet, castoreum, ambergris, plant fragrances such as nutmeg extract, cardomon extract, ginger extract, cinnamon extract, patchouli oil, geranium oil, orange oil, mandarin oil, orange flower extract, cedarwood, vetyver, lavandin, ylang extract, tuberose extract, sandalwood oil, bergamot oil, rosemary oil, spearmint oil, peppermint oil, lemon oil, lavender oil, citronella oil, chamomille oil, clove oil, sage oil, neroli oil, labdanum oil, eucalyptus oil, verbena oil, mimosa extract, narcissus extract, carrot seed extract, jasmine extract, olibanum extract, rose extract and mixtures thereof.

Cyclic Oligosaccharides
A second essential element of the compositions of the present invention is that they comprise greater than 1.2%, by weight, cyclic oligosaccharides having one or more unsubstituted alkyl substituents. As used herein, the term "cyclic oligosaccharide" means a cyclic structure comprising six or more sacchahde units. Preferred for use herein are cyclic oligosaccharides having six, seven or eight saccharide units and mixtures thereof, more preferably seven sacchahde units. It is common in the art to abbreviate six, seven and eight membered cyclic oligosaccharides to α, β and γ respectively.
The cyclic oligosaccharides herein are preferably present at a level of from about 1.5% to about 40%, more preferably from about 2.5% to about 25%, even more preferably from about 4% to about 20%, especially from about 8% to about 15%, by weight, of total composition.
The cyclic oligosaccharides of the present invention may comprise any suitable saccharide or mixtures of saccharides. Examples of suitable saccharides include, but are not limited to, glucose, fructose, mannose, galactose, maltose and mixtures thereof. However, preferred for use herein are cyclic oligosaccharides of glucose. Therefore, the preferred cyclic oligosaccharides for use herein are β-cyclodextrins.
The cyclic oligosaccharides for use herein may be substituted by any suitable substituent. Suitable substituents include, but are not limited to, alkyl groups, hydroxyalkyl groups, aryl groups, maltosyl groups, allyl groups, benzyl groups, alkanoyl groups and mixtures thereof. Preferably, the substituent is selected from alkyl groups, hydroxyalkyl groups and mixtures thereof. More preferably, the substituent is selected from alkyl groups and mixtures thereof. Preferred alkyl substituents are selected from C C8 alkyl groups and mixtures thereof, more preferred alkyl substituents are selected from C C6 alkyl groups and mixtures thereof, even more preferred alkyl substituents are selected from C,-C4 alkyl groups and mixtures thereof.

As used herein "cosmetically acceptable" means a material (e.g., compound or composition) which is suitable for use in contact with skin, hair or other suitable substrate as defined hereinbelow.
Cosmetically Acceptable Carrier The compositions of the present invention will preferably comprise a cosmetically acceptable carrier. The phrase "cosmetically acceptable carrier", as used herein, means one or more compatible solid or liquid fillers, diluents, extenders and the like, which are cosmetically acceptable as defined hereinabove. The term "compatible", as used herein, means that the components of the compositions of this invention are capable of being combined with the primary actives of the present invention, and with each other, in a manner such that there is no interaction which would substantially reduce the efficacy of the composition under ordinary use situations. The type of carrier utilized in the present invention depends on the type of product desired. The compositions useful in the present invention may be a wide variety of product types. These include, but are not limited to, lotions, creams, gels, sticks, sprays, ointments, pastes, mousses and cosmetics (e.g., solid, semi-solid, or liquid make-up, including foundations). These product types may comprise several types of carriers including, but not limited to, solutions, aerosols, emulsions (including oil-in-water or water-in-oil), gels, solids, and liposomes.
Volatile Solvent
The compositions of the present invention may comprise a volatile solvent or mixture of volatile solvents. The solvents for use herein are preferably organic volatile solvents. If present, the volatile solvent or mixture of solvents will generally be at a level of about 5% or greater, preferably about 10% or greater, more preferably about 20% or greater, even more preferably about 50% or greater, by weight of total composition.

Molecular wedges
Particularly preferred for use herein for providing increased longevity and strength of odour of fragrance is a low molecular weight polyol molecular wedge having from about 2 to about 12 carbon atoms, preferably from about 2 to about 6 carbon atoms and at least one -OH functional group, preferably at least 2 -OH functional groups. These polyols can further contain ether groups within the carbon chain. Suitable examples include ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, 1 ,4-butanediol, 1 ,6-hexanediol and mixtures thereof. When present these polyols are present at a level of from about 0.01 % to about 20%, preferably from about 0.1 % to about 10%, and especially from about 0.5% to about 5% by weight of composition. It is preferred that the molar ratio of molecular wedge material to oligosaccharide is from 10:1 to 1 :10, preferably 1 :1 or greater, especially 1 :1.
While not wishing to be limited by theory, the above mentioned molecular wedge molecules form tertiary inclusion complexes with the complexed perfume material and the cyclic oligosaccharide. These small dipolar molcules can fit into the cavity of the cyclic oligosaccharide and anchor via their OH groups onto the outside rim of the cyclic oligosaccharide through hydrogen bonding. This enables the inclusion of all or parts of the fragrance material into the cavity of the cyclic oligosaccharide such that the stability of the formed tertiary complex is increased versus the complex formed by the fragrance material and cyclic oligosaccharide alone.
