Abstract

The present invention relates to cosmetic compositions comprising Vitamin B6 or a derivative thereof and at least one human milk oligosaccharide (HMOs) selected from the group consisting of 3'sialyllactose, 6'sialyllactose and lacto-N-tetraose as well as to a use of said HMOs for suppressing discoloration of Vitamin B6 or a derivative thereof.

Description

HUMAN MILK OLIGOSACCAHRIDES IN COSMETICS
The present invention relates to cosmetic compositions comprising Vitamin B6 or a derivative thereof and at least one human milk oligosaccharide (HMOs) selected from the group consisting of 3’sialyllactose, 6’sialyllactose and lacto-N-tetraose as well as to a use of said HMOs for suppressing discoloration of Vitamin B6 or a derivative thereof.
Vitamin B6 or derivatives thereof such as pyridoxine hydrochloride are used in cosmetic applications to exert beneficial physiological effects, such as to stimulate the healthy-looking appearance of hair and contribute to the efficacy of anti-dandruff products. In skin care applications, Vitamin B6 appears to reduce sebum levels and limit the area of oily spots. However, Vitamin B6 tends to discolor upon storage which is highly unwanted as it leads to an unpleasant optical appearance of the respective product.
Human milk oligosaccharides’ (HMOs) are a family of structurally diverse unconjugated glycans that are highly abundant in and unique to human milk. Due to its specific characteristics these HMOs can be used in nutritional, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and medical applications.
In accordance with the present invention it has now surprisingly been found that the discoloration of compositions containing Vitamin B6 respectively derivatives thereof such as in particular pyridoxine hydrochloride can be effectively reduced by the addition of certain human milk oligosaccharides.
Thus, in a first aspect, the present invention relates to cosmetic compositions comprising a human milk oligosaccharide selected from the group consisting of sialyllactoses and lacto-N-tetraose and Vitamin B6 or a derivative thereof.
In a second aspect the present invention relates to the use of a human milk oligosaccharide selected from the group consisting of sialyllactoses and lacto-N- tetraose for suppressing discoloration of Vitamin B6 or a derivative thereof, preferably in aqueous compositions and optionally appreciating the effect. In a third aspect, the present invention relates to a method for reducing discoloration of compositions containing Vitamin B6 and/or a derivative thereof, said method comprising preparing a composition comprising Vitamin B6 and/or a derivative thereof, one or more human milk oligosaccharide selected from the group consisting of sialyllactoses and lacto-N-tetraose and a cosmetically acceptable carrier, which carrier preferably comprises water, and optionally storing the respective composition for at least 1 , more preferably for at least 2, most preferably for at least 4 weeks, such as e.g. for 6 weeks.
In a further aspect the invention relates to the use of a combination of Vitamin B6 and/or a derivative thereof and one or more human milk oligosaccharide selected from the group consisting of sialyllactoses and lacto-N-tetraose, for the preparation of storage stable topical composition. These compositions exhibit an excellent storage stability in view of preventing/suppressing discoloration compared to a control not comprising the respective HMO(s). Said compositions can be prepared by admixing Vitamin B6 and/or a derivative thereof and at least one human milk oligosaccharide selected from the group consisting of sialyllactoses and lacto-N-tetraose into a cosmetically acceptable carrier, which carrier preferably comprises water.
It is well understood, that the compositions according to the present invention may comprise only one HMO as defined herein as well as only one Vitamin B6/ Vitamin B6 derivative, which embodiment is preferred, but also may comprise mixtures of HMOs as well mixtures of Vitamin B6 and its derivatives as defined herein.
The term ‘supress/ suppressing discoloration’ refers to a reduced discoloration of the composition according to the present invention compared to control. The suppression of discoloration according to the present invention is reflected by reduced b-values (according to the CIELAB colorspace) compared to the respective control not comprising the HMO upon storage, such as storage for at least 2 weeks at RT (about 22°C) at daylight in clear glass vials/containers as outlined in the example.
The term Vitamin B6 and derivatives thereof’ refers in particular to pyridoxine hydrochloride [58-56-0], pyridoxal [CAS-Nr. 66-72-8] and pyridoxamin [CAS-Nr. 85-87- 0], In all embodiments, particularly preferred is the use of pyridoxine hydrochloride also known as Vitamin B6 hydrochloride or Vitamin B6 which is e.g. available as Pyridoxine hydrochloride or Pyridoxine Hydrochloride 98 DC at DSM Nutritional Products AG, (4303 Kaiseraugst, Switzerland).
The term ‘derivative’ as used here is to be understood based on the definition in the Rbmpp's Chemistry Lexicon referring to a chemical compound that can be represented by original compound, e.g. by structurally changing a functional group in usually only a single reaction step (derivatization). A compound and its derivative are accordingly structurally closely related. Said term is clear to a person skilled in the art.

These product forms may be used for a number of applications, including, but not limited to, hand and body lotions, facial moisturizers, anti-ageing preparations, make-ups including foundations, and the like. Any additional components required to formulate such products vary with product type and can be routinely chosen by one skilled in the art.
If the cosmetic compositions of the present invention are formulated as an aerosol and applied to the skin as a spray-on product, a propellant is added to the composition.
The cosmetic compositions according to the present invention can be prepared by conventional methods in the art such as e.g. by admixing the Vitamin B6 and/or a derivative thereof and the respective HMO(s) with all the definitions and preferences given herein with the cosmetically acceptable carrier.
The cosmetic composition may comprise further ingredients, which may form part of the carrier. Such ingredients are particularly surfactants, emulsifiers, thickeners, and oils. Such suitable surfactants, emulsifiers, thickeners, and oils are well known to a person skilled in the art. The cosmetic compositions of the invention (including the carrier) may comprise further conventional (cosmetic) adjuvants and additives, such as preservatives/antioxidants, fatty substances/oils, water, organic solvents, silicones, thickeners, softeners, emulsifiers, antifoaming agents, aesthetic components such as fragrances, surfactants, fillers, anionic, cationic, non-ionic or amphoteric polymers or mixtures thereof, propellants, acidifying or basifying agents, dyes, colorings/colorants, abrasives, absorbents, chelating agents and/ or sequestering agents, essential oils, skin sensates, astringents, pigments or any other ingredients usually formulated into such compositions.
If nothing else is stated, the excipients, additives, diluents, etc. mentioned in the following are suitable for the compositions according to the present invention. The necessary amounts of the cosmetic and dermatological adjuvants and additives can, based on the desired product, easily be determined by the skilled person.

Examples
The formulations as outlined in table 1 were prepared and then stored in clear glass vials at RT (about 22°C) at daylight. The colour stability was assessed by measuring the b values (L* a* b* values/ CIELAB system) after two weeks and after 6 weeks storage (which is an indicator of the discoloration of the sample: the higher the b-value, the higher the discoloration), compared to a control not containing a HMO.

As can be retrieved from table 2, only the HMO’s according to the present invention led to a reduction in the discoloration compared to control, even after 6 weeks of storage. The same experiment has been repeated using 0.5% of the respective HMO. The results are illustrated in table 3 below:

As can be retrieved from table 3, the HMO’s according to the present invention also led to an improved colour stabilisation at low use levels.
