Description

USE OF A POLMER FOR IMPROVING SUN PROTECTION The present invention relates to the use of a polymer comprising one or more synthetic polymer units comprising repeating units of a structure of Formula (1)

for increasing the UV and/or blue light absorption of one or more UV and/or blue light filters. Furthermore, the present invention refers to a sunscreen composition comprising such polymer, one or more UV and/or blue light filters and one or more cosmetically acceptable carriers. Exposure to sunlight can have desirable effects, such as stimulating the production of vitamin D and tanning the skin. However, if the intensity or duration of exposure is too high, the lower wavelength UV-B light below 315 nm can cause erythema, a reddening of the skin, also known as sunburn. Severe tissue damage can occur, including actinic keratosis and skin cancer. Further, the skin can premature early. Thus, protection from sunlight is often desired, especially on skin areas not covered by UV protective cloths. A number of sunscreen formulations have been known for decades. Typically, such compositions comprise one or more UV and/or blue light filters such as UV filters. A high number of UV and/or blue light filters in different compositions are known in the art such as, e.g., shown in WO 2010/043588 and WO 2019/096960. Such more UV and/or blue light filters can be classified in different ways such as as Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, oil soluble organic UV absorbers, sparingly soluble organic UV absorbers, inorganic UV absorbers, and water-soluble UV absorbers as shown in WO 2010/043588. The sun protection effect of the UV and/or blue light filters known in the art is not entirely satisfying. When using moderate contents, sun protection efficacy (e.g., high sun protection factor (SPF)) is limited. Thus, to achieve a desired SPF which is often in the range of >30, very high amounts of UV and/or blue light filters are required. Often, UV and/or blue light filters that have comparably high efficacy per amount and thus allow using rather low amounts are rather poorly biodegradable. When, on the other hand, good biodegradability is desired, lower efficacy in sun protection must often be accepted or higher amounts of such UV and/or blue light filters required. In other words, it is a challenge to provide compositions that are readily biodegradable and still bear high sun protection efficacy (e.g., high sun protection factor (SPF)). In addition, in the case of particulate UV and/or blue light filters such as some inorganic agents, high amounts of such materials are comparably difficult to spread evenly on the skin and may lead to undesired bright spots on the skin. Thus, it is still an unmet need to improve efficacy of UV and/or blue light filters. It is a particular desire to provide sun protection compositions that have a higher biodegradability and still bear a good or even bear an increased sun protection efficacy in comparison to compositions that bear the UV and/or blue light filters without a boostering component. Surprisingly, it has been found that polymers comprising one or more synthetic polymer units comprising repeating units of a structure of Formula (1) lead to a significant improvement of sun protection by increasing the UV and/or blue light absorption of one or more UV and/or blue light filters. It has been further surprisingly found that compositions having comparably high biodegradability having such good sun protection can be provided. An aspect of the present invention relates to the use of a polymer comprising (or consisting of): (i) one or more synthetic polymer units comprising (or consisting of): (a) repeating units of a structure of Formula (1):

wherein R¹ and R² are independently selected from H, methyl or ethyl; A is a linear or branched C₁-C₁₂-alkyl group; and Q⁺ is a cosmetically acceptable cation; and (b) optionally one or more crosslinking or branching units; and (c) optionally one or more further repeating units which are different from a repeating unit of structure of Formula (1) and from the crosslinking or branching units crosslinking or branching units; and (ii) one or more water-soluble and/or water-swellable polysaccharide polymer units, for increasing the UV and/or blue light absorption of one or more UV and/or blue light filters. It has been shown that such polymer comprising one or more synthetic polymer units comprising repeating units of a structure of Formula (1) leads to a significant improvement of sun protection effect when added to a composition comprising UV and/or blue light filter. The use of the present invention may be increasing the UV and/or blue light absorption of a UV and/or blue light filter in a composition comprising at least one UV and/or blue light filter and optionally one or more further cosmetically acceptable components. The polymer as used in the present invention may have a boosting effect on sun protection by increased UV and/or blue light absorption by influencing the spreadability of the sunscreen product on the skin. It will be understood that increased UV and/or blue light absorption typically leads to an increased sun protection factor (SPF) of the composition. Surprisingly, it has been further found that the compositions of the present invention can be prepared as having a good biodegradability. The present invention relates to a method for sun protection, comprising the steps of: (I) providing a composition of: (a) one or more polymers comprising (or consisting of): (i) one or more synthetic polymer units comprising (or consisting of): (a) repeating units of a structure of Formula (1):

wherein R¹ and R² are independently selected from H, methyl or ethyl; A is a linear or branched C1-C12-alkyl group; and Q⁺ is a cosmetically acceptable cation; and (b) optionally one or more crosslinking or branching units; and (c) optionally one or more further repeating units which are different from a repeating unit of structure of Formula (1) and from the crosslinking or branching units crosslinking or branching units; and (ii) one or more water-soluble and/or water-swellable polysaccharide polymer units; and (b) one or more UV and/or blue light filters; and (II) applying the composition of step (I) to a surface, preferably a skin surface, of interest which is exposed to sun light, wherein UV and/or blue light absorption of the composition of step (I) is higher than UV and/or blue light absorption of a comparable composition without the one or more polymers. It will be understood that the method of the definitions and preferred embodiments of the use of the present invention mutatis mutandis apply to the methods of the present invention. The present invention further relates to a method for increasing the UV and/or blue light absorption of a composition comprising one or more UV and/or blue light filters, comprising the step of admixing one or more polymers to this composition, wherein the one or more polymers comprise (or consist of): (i) one or more synthetic polymer units comprising (or consisting of): (a) repeating units of a structure of Formula (1):

wherein R¹ and R² are independently selected from H, methyl or ethyl; A is a linear or branched C₁-C₁₂-alkyl group; and Q⁺ is a cosmetically acceptable cation; and (b) optionally one or more crosslinking or branching units; and (c) optionally one or more further repeating units which are different from a repeating unit of structure of Formula (1) and from the crosslinking or branching units crosslinking or branching units; and (ii) one or more water-soluble and/or water-swellable polysaccharide polymer units, preferably wherein UV and/or blue light absorption of the composition comprising the one or more polymers is higher than UV and/or blue light absorption of a comparable composition without the one or more polymers.

As used herein, the term "polymer" may be understood in the broadest sense as a chemical formed from polymerization of two or more monomers. The term "polymer" shall include all materials made by the polymerization of monomers synthetically as well as natural polymers. Polymers made from only one type of monomer are called homopolymers. Herein, a polymer comprises at least two monomers. Polymers made from two or more different types of monomers are called copolymers.

As used herein, a UV and/or blue light filter may be understood as any substance that is exclusively or mainly intended to protect the skin against UV and/or blue light radiation by absorbing, reflecting and/or scattering UV and/or blue light. Preferably, a UV and/or blue light filter may be understood as any substance that is exclusively or mainly intended to protect the skin against UV and/or blue light radiation by absorbing UV and/or blue light and optionally also reflecting and/or scattering UV and/or blue light. As used herein, a “UV light filter” (also: “UV filter” or “UV-filter”) may be understood as any substance that is exclusively or mainly intended to protect the skin against UV radiation by absorbing, reflecting and/or scattering UV light. Preferably, a UV light filter may be understood as any substance that is exclusively or mainly intended to protect the skin against UV radiation by absorbing UV light and optionally also reflecting and/or scattering UV light. A UV light filter may be such in the sense of the EU Cosmetics Regulation No.1223/ 2009. In a preferred embodiment, as used herein, a UV light filter may be understood as any substance that absorbs (and optionally reflects and/or scatters) light in the UV range, in other words adsorbs UV light. As used herein, UV light has a wavelength range below 400 nm, preferably from 100 to 399 nm. UV light may be UV-A light (wavelength range from 320 to 399 nm), UV-B light (wavelength range from 290 to 319 nm), and/or UV-C light (wavelength range below 290 nm, preferably 100 to 289 nm). In a preferred embodiment, UV light is UV-A and/or UV-B light. As used herein, a blue light filter may be understood as any substance that is exclusively or mainly intended to protect the skin against blue light radiation by absorbing, reflecting and/or scattering blue light. Preferably, a blue light filter may be understood as any substance that is exclusively or mainly intended to protect the skin against blue light radiation by absorbing blue light and optionally also reflecting and/or scattering blue light. In a preferred embodiment, as used herein, a blue light filter may be understood as any substance that absorbs (and optionally reflects and/or scatters) light in the blue range, in other words adsorbs blue light. As used herein, blue light is light of a wavelength range from 400 to 490 nm. The “biobased content” as used herein is reported in ASTM D6866-12, Method B (see section 3.3.9 of ASTM D6866-12). “Biobased carbon content”, “biobased content”, “biogenic carbon content”, “bio-based content”, “biomass-derived carbon” herein refer to the same thing and are all measured in wt.-%. Herein, the term ‘bio- based carbon content’ is used. ASTM D6866-12, Method B lab results report the percentage of bio-based carbon content relative to total carbon, and not to total mass of the sample or molecular weight. A comment on bio-based carbon content calculation: Presently ASTM D6866-12, Method B (see section 9 of ASTM D6866- 12) requires the percent modern carbon value (pMC) reported to be multiplied by a correction factor of 0.95 to account for excess carbon-14 in the atmosphere due to nuclear weapons testing. However, a revision is pending for ASTM D6866-12, Method B to update the correction factor to 0.98 due to ongoing decrease in excess atmospheric ¹⁴CO₂. For the purposes of accuracy, the new correction factor of 0.98 is often reported in the field e.g. by suppliers. Generally, results below ~20 % bio-based carbon will not be affected. However, results close to 100% will be ~2-3 % bio-based carbon higher using the 0.98 factor vs 0.95. Results between ~20-90 % will increase by 0-3 %. Hence the term “bio-based carbon content” as used herein is defined by the equation: Bio-based carbon content = pMC * 0.95 (%) A review on measurement methods of bio-based carbon content for biomass- based chemicals and plastics is given by Massao Kunioka in Radioisotopes, 62, 901-925 (2013). Explanation of benefits provided by the invention As noted above, it has been found a polymer as defined herein leads to a significant improvement of sun protection effect when added to a composition comprising UV and/or blue light filter. The use of the present invention may be increasing the UV and/or blue light absorption of a UV and/or blue light filter in a composition comprising at least one UV and/or blue light filter and optionally one or more further cosmetically acceptable components. This allows either achieving a higher UV and/or blue light absorption without increasing the content of the one or more UV and/or blue light filters in a composition and/or reduction of the content of the UV and/or blue light filters while at least maintain the SFP of the composition. As the polymer as defined herein may be synthesised in a one-step process, rather than a process requiring multiple synthesis and/or purification steps such as by radical precipitation polymerization in a polar solvent. It may be provided in a highly concentrated for, in pellets and even powder form. This allows highly concentrated and/or well storable and shippable mixtures with one or more UV and/or blue light filters.
