Description

DESCRIPTION

TITLE OF INVENTION BI-PHASE SUN CARE COMPOSITION TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a sun care composition, in particular a sun care cosmetic composition in a bi-phase form, for a keratinous substance such as skin.

BACKGROUND ART

For sun care products, good UV protection effects are among the key functions. In addition, in order to satisfy consumers’ preferences, it is preferable that sun care products provide a good texture.

Bi-phase compositions comprising an aqueous phase and an oily phase have a benefit in their usability thanks to their low viscosity. In addition, they have another benefit in their appearance since they do not show a whitish appearance as emulsion compositions do.

There is still a need for sun care compositions in the bi-phase form having a better UV protection property and providing a good texture.

After diligent research, the inventors have discovered that a bi-phase composition of an aqueous phase and an oily phase, comprising at least one organic UV filter, at least one first polyglyceryl fatty acid ester having an HLB value of more than 8, at least one second polyglyceryl fatty acid ester having an HLB value of 8 or less, at least one powder, and water can provide a good UV protection property and texture.

Thus, the composition according to the present invention is a bi-phase composition comprising an aqueous phase and an oily phase, wherein the composition comprises:

(a) at least one organic UV filter,

(d) at least one powder, and

(e) water.

Hereinafter, the composition according to the present invention will be explained in a more detailed manner.

[Composition]

The composition according to the present invention can be a cosmetic composition, and preferably a cosmetic composition for a keratinous substance, such as skin. The composition according to the present invention may be intended for use as a cosmetic topical composition. Thus, the composition according to the present invention may be intended for application onto a keratinous substance. Keratinous substance here means a material containing keratin as a main constituent element, and examples thereof include the skin, scalp, nails, lips, hair, and the like. In particular, the composition according to the present invention may be a skin sun care cosmetic composition for protecting skin from UV rays.

The composition according to the present invention has a bi-phase form comprising an aqueous or water phase and an oily phase, or an oily phase and a water in oil emulsion phase, such as water in oil Pickering emulsion phase. The bi-phase composition according to the present invention means a composition comprising or consisting of two phases of an aqueous phase and an oily phase or the oily phase and the emulsion phase, which are visually and/or macroscopically separated at rest.

The term “aqueous phase” or “water phase” here means a phase that is liquid at room temperature, comprising or consisting of hydrophilic, water-soluble, or water-dispersible substances.

The term “oily phase” here means a phase that is liquid at room temperature, comprising or consisting of lipophilic, oil-soluble, or oil-dispersible substances.

The term “water in oil emulsion phase” here means a phase that is liquid at room temperature, comprising dispersed aqueous phases in an oily phase.

The bi-phase composition according to the present invention has two distinct layers visually at rest, each layer consisting of the continuous aqueous phase and the continuous oily phase, or the continuous oily phase and the water in oil emulsion phase, respectively. The oily phase of the present invention preferably has a viscosity of less than 1000 mPa-s, preferably less than 300 mPa-s, and more preferably less than 100 mPa-s at room temperature (25°C). The lower limit of the viscosity of the oily phase is not limited, but in general, the oily phase has a viscosity of more than 5 mPa-s at room temperature.

The viscosity of the aqueous phase of the present invention is not particularly limited. Preferably, the viscosity of the aqueous phase can range from 15 to 40 mPa-s, more preferably from 17 to 30 mPa-s at room temperature.

For the viscosity measurement, VISCOMAN™ (GILSON Technology) can be used. The bulk viscosity (mPaS, PaS) is automatically calculated from the needed aspiration force in the small pipet (10 pL).

The composition according to the present invention is intended for use after mixing each phase homogenously, for example, by simply shaking it. Since the homogenous composition of the present invention after mixing has a relatively lower viscosity, especially a lower viscosity than an emulsion composition, the present invention has a benefit in that it can be easily sprayed in a misty state without using an aerosol device and easily spread on keratinous substances. Therefore, the composition according to the present invention may be contained in a non-aerosol device, such as a container equipped with a mist generating means, such as a mist-pump, a spray bottle, or a pump bottle.

The pH of the aqueous phase of the present invention is not particularly limited. The pH of the aqueous phase may range from 3.0 to 9.0, and preferably from 4.0 to 8.0. The pH of the aqueous phase of the present invention can be adjusted to the desired value using acidifying agents, basifying agents, or buffering agents commonly used in the cosmetics field.

The inventors of the present invention surprisingly found that the mixed composition according to the present invention, in particular applied as a mist, can form a homogenous and fine film on keratinous substances, such as skin. Accordingly, the composition can provide improved UV protection effects. In addition, since the composition according to the present invention can be provided in a misty state, it allows consumers an easy retouching use, if necessary, even after sun care products are applied once. Also, mist-state products of the present invention can be easily applied on make-up. Furthermore, the mist-state products of the present invention can provide a comfortable texture to consumers, which is totally different from aerosol spray-type products.

In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the composition according to the present invention comprises a greater amount of the aqueous phase than the oily phase. In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the weight ratio of the aqueous phase / the oily phase may be 1 or more, preferably 1.5 or more, more preferably 2 or more, and even more preferably 2.5 or more.

The amount of the aqueous phase in the composition according to the present invention may be 50% by weight or more, preferably from 60% by weight or more, and more preferably 70% by weight or more, and may be 90% by weight or less, preferably 85% by weight or less, and more preferably 80% by weight or less, relative to the total weight of the composition.

The amount of the oily phase in the composition according to the present invention may be 5% by weight or more, preferably 10% by weight or more, and more preferably 15% by weight or more, and may be 50% by weight or less, preferably from 40% by weight or less, and more preferably 30% by weight or less, relative to the total weight of the composition.

The composition according to the present invention comprises (a) at least one organic UV filter, (b) at least one first polyglyceryl fatty acid ester having an HLB value of more than 8, (c) at least one second polyglyceryl fatty acid ester having an HLB value of 8 or less, (d) at least one powder, and (e) water.

[Compositions]

Each of the compositions according to Examples 1 to 9 (Ex. 1 to Ex. 9) and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 (Comp. Ex. 1 to Comp. Ex. 4) was prepared by mixing the ingredients shown in the following Tables 1 and 2. The compositions are shown in Tables 1 and 2. The numerical values for the amounts of the ingredients are all based on “% by weight” as active raw materials.

[Evaluation]

(Film Homogeneity)

Each of the compositions was shaken 10 times in a capped container so as to become homogenous. Each of the homogenous compositions was applied to a polypropylene sheet (thickness: 0.2 mm, PX-P from Sekisui Kagaku) using an applicator called “Elecometer 4340” with a force of 1 kgf, so as to obtain a 10-pm coating of the composition on the sheet. The sheet was then exposed to a UV lamp (UV black ray B-100AP, wavelength: 365 nm) and a picture was taken. The film homogeneity was evaluated based on the visual appearance of the coated sheet in three grades (“++”, “+”, and If the appearance was homogenous intensive black, it was ranked as “++”. If the appearance was non-homogenous blue translucent, it was ranked as

(In vitro SPF and PPD Values)

Each of the compositions was shaken 10 times in a capped container to be homogenous.

Each of the homogenous compositions was transferred onto a plate (Helio plate HD 6, PMMA, roughness: 6 pm) with an adjustable pipette in an amount of 0.8 mg/cm² and then uniformly spread by the fingers. The coated plate was air dried for 15 minutes at room temperature. The obtained sample plate was placed into a Labsphere Ultraviolet Transmittance Analyzer (Model UV-2000 from Solar Light Company, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania). Irradiation took place at 12 points on the sample plate.

The in vitro SPF value was predicted from absorbance intensity of UV-B range (290 nm-320nm). Higher absorbance intensity shows a higher in vitro SPF value. The in vitro SPF value was calculated by Labsphere using COLIPA method.

The in vitro PPD value was predicted from absorbance intensity of UV-A range (320 nm-380nm). Higher absorbance intensity shows a higher in vitro PPD value. The in vitro PPD value was calculated in accordance with the method adopted by the Japanese Cosmetic Industry Association (JCIA) as the official test procedure for the UV-A labelling of products, which is frequently used by test laboratories in Europe and the United States (Japan Cosmetic Industry Association Technical Bulletin, Measurement Standards for UVA protection efficacy, Issued November 21, 1995 and effective as of January 1, 1996).

(Texture)

The texture was evaluated by a trained expert protocol. Each of the compositions was shaken 10 times in APTAR SP22 PANACHE insert pump so as to be homogenous and then was applied in mist form on the pannel member’s facial skin (n=6) by an expert operator with a controlled gesture and amount (2 push). Texture was assessed with the following criteria. Good: it provided a very fresh and non-greasy texture Bad: it provided an oily and greasy texture

The evaluation results are summarized in Tables 1 and 2 below.

Table 1

Table 2

As can be seen from Tables 1 and 2, the compositions according to each of Examples 1 to 9, which include the specific combination of ingredients (a) to (e) of the present invention exhibited a good film homogeneity, and high in-vitro SPF and/or PPD values. In addition, they provided a fresh texture, which is preferable for consumers.

On the other hand, each of the compositions according to Comparative Example 1, which lacks the first polyglyceryl fatty acid ester, Comparative Example 2, which lacks the second poly glyceryl fatty acid ester, and Comparative Example 3, which lacks the powder, exhibited poor film homogeneity. In addition, the composition according to Comparative Example 4, which includes Poly Cl 0-30 Alkyl Acrylate instead of the powder in Comparative Example 3, provided an oily and greasy texture.

Therefore, it can be concluded that the composition according to the present invention is very preferable as a sun care composition since it provides an improved UV protection effect due to high in vitro SPF and/or PPD values and a good texture. In addition, since the mixed homogenous composition of the present invention has a relatively low viscosity, it can be easily applied onto keratinous substances and can be very useful for consumers.
