Description

Compositions comprising phosphoric acid ester and hydrophobically modified, crosslinked anionic polymers


The present invention relates to compositions comprising hydrophobically modified, crosslinked, anionic polymers and phosphoric acid esters. The compositions may be, for example, cosmetic, pharmaceutical or dermatological compositions.


Anionic polyelectrolytes are nowadays used widely for thickening cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. Thus, EP-A-0 816 403 and WO 98/00094 describe crosslinked homopolymers of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonates and their use as thickeners. EP-A-0510 246 discloses crosslinked copolymers of N-vinylcarboxamides and unsaturated alkylamides substituted with a sulfonate group, WO 02/43689 describes that hydrophobically modified copolymers based on acrylamidoalkylsulfonates can be used as thickener and stabilizer in cosmetic compositions.


A common feature of all crosslinked polyelectrolytes is that, in an adequate concentration in aqueous systems, they effect the build-up of a yield point which protects suspended solids or else liquid phases against creaming and/or sedimentation. This property is also attained when the anionic, crosslinked polyelectrolyte carries hydrophobic groups. However, disadvantages are the relatively high price of anionic polyelectrolytes and the generally very high salt sensitivity. As soon as the compositions comprise relatively large amounts of salt, the thickening ability of these anionic polyelectrolytes is significantly reduced.


Nonionic associative thickeners such as polyglycol esters (PEG-150 distearate, PEG-150 polyglyceryl-2-tristearate, PEG-120 methylglucose dioleate) or highly ethoxylated phosphoric esters, by contrast, can effect high viscosity on account of their low molecular weight, especially with surfactants, and are salt-insensitive; however, they do not build up a yield point and are therefore not very suitable for stabilizing suspensions or emulsions.


It was therefore an object to provide thickener systems which, for a low use amount, build up a yield point and exhibit a good thickening ability, even in the case of a high salt fraction in the compositions.


Surprisingly, it has been found that this object is achieved by combinations of hydrophobically modified, anionic, crosslinked polyelectrolytes and associative thickeners based on phosphoric acid. These combinations have a higher viscosity ability that the respective individual components and at the same time build up a higher yield point than can be achieved through the anionic polymer alone. Advantageously, using these combinations, it is possible to produce aqueous gels as basis for cosmetic, pharmaceutical and dermatological products. These are characterized by increased salt stability and, on the skin, lose their consistency considerably more slowly and thereby facilitate significantly improved sensorics on the skin.


The invention therefore provides compositions comprising

    • I) one or more anionic, crosslinked, hydrophobically modified polymers, where the hydrophobic modification takes place through a hydrocarbon radical, preferably an alkyl radical, having 6 to 50, preferably 12 to 40 and particularly preferably 18 to 22 carbon atoms, and

Additionally, the compositions according to the invention can comprise organic solvents. In principle, suitable organic solvents are all mono- or polyhydric alcohols. Preference is given to using alcohols having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, such as ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, isobutanol, t-butanol, glycerol and mixtures of said alcohols. Further preferred alcohols are polyethylene glycols with a relative molecular mass below 2000. In particular, a use of polyethylene glycol with a relative molecular mass between 200 and 600 and in amounts up to 45% by weight and of polyethylene glycol with a relative molecular mass between 400 and 600 in amounts of from 5 to 25% by weight is preferred, in each case based on the finished composition. Further suitable solvents are, for example, triacetin (glycerol triacetate) and 1-methoxy-2-propanol.


The dyes and color pigments present in the compositions according to the invention, both organic and inorganic dyes, are selected from the corresponding positive list of the Cosmetics Ordinance or the EU list of cosmetic colorants.


Also advantageous are oil-soluble natural dyes, such as, for example, paprika extracts, β-carotene and cochineal.


Pearlescent pigments are also advantageously used, e.g. pearl essence (guanine/hypoxanthine mixed crystals from fish scales) and mother-of-pearl (ground mussel shells), monocrystalline pearlescent pigments, such as, for example, bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl), layer-substrate pigments, e.g. mica/metal oxide, silver-white pearlescent pigments of TiO2, interference pigments (TiO2, varying layer thickness), color luster pigments (Fe2O3) and combination pigments (TiO2/Fe2O3, TiO2/Cr2O3, TiO2/Prussian blue, TiO2/carmine).


Within the context of the present invention, effect pigments are to be understood as meaning pigments which bring about particular optical effects as a result of their refractive properties. Effect pigments impart luster or glitter effects to the treated surface (skin, hair, mucosa) or are able to optically conceal skin unevenness and skin wrinkles through diffuse light scattering. As a particular embodiment of the effect pigments, interference pigments are preferred. Particularly suitable effect pigments are, for example, mica particles which are coated with at least one metal oxide. Besides mica, a sheet silicate, silica gel and other SiO2 modifications are also suitable as carriers. A metal oxide which is often used for the coating is, for example, titanium oxide, to which, if desired, iron oxide can be admixed. The reflection properties can be influenced via the size and the shape (e.g. spherical, ellipsoidal, flattened, planar, nonplanar) of the pigment particles and also via the thickness of the oxide coating. Other metal oxides too, e.g. bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl), and the oxides of, for example, titanium, in particular the TiO2 modifications anatase and rutile, and of aluminum, tantalum, niobium, zirconium and hafnium. With magnesium fluoride (MgF2) and calcium fluoride (fluorspar, CaF2) too, it is possible to produce effect pigments.


The effects can be controlled not only via the particle size but also via the particle size distribution of the pigment assembly. Suitable particle size distributions range, for example, from 2-50 μm, 5-25 μm, 5-40 μm, 5-60 μm, 5-95 μm, 5-100 μm, 10-60 μm, 10-100 μm, 10-125 μm, 20-100 μm, 20-150 μm, and <15 μm. A broader particle size distribution, for example of 20-150 μm, brings about glittering effects, whereas a narrower particle size distribution of <15 μm provides a uniform satin appearance.


The compositions according to the invention comprise effect pigments preferably in amounts of from 0.1 to 20% by weight, particularly preferably from 0.5 to 10% by weight and especially preferably from 1 to 5% by weight, in each case based on the total weight of the composition.


Allantoin and bisabolol are preferred as deodorizing substances. These are preferably used in amounts of from 0.0001 to 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the compositions according to the invention.


Fragrance and/or perfume oils which may be used are individual odorant compounds, e.g. the synthetic products of the ester, ether, aldehyde, ketone, alcohol and hydrocarbon types. Odorant compounds of the ester type are, for example, benzyl acetate, phenoxyethyl isobutyrate, p-tert-butylcyclohexyl acetate, linalyl acetate, dimethylbenzylcarbinyl acetate, phenylethyl acetate, linalyl benzoate, benzyl formate, ethylmethylphenyl glycinate, allyl cyclohexyl propionate, styrallyl propionate and benzyl salicylate. The ethers include, for example, benzyl ethyl ethers, the aldehydes include, for example, the linear alkanals having 8 to 18 carbon atoms, citral, citronellal, citronellyloxyacetaldehyde, cyclamenaldehyde, hydroxycitronellal, lilial and bourgeonal, the ketones include, for example, the ionones, alpha-isomethylionone and methyl cedryl ketone, the alcohols include anethol, citronellol, eugenol, geraniol, linalool, phenylethyl alcohol and terpineol, and the hydrocarbons include primarily the terpenes and balsams. Preference is given to using mixtures of different odorants which together produce a pleasing scent note.


Perfume oils can also comprise natural odorant mixtures, as are accessible from vegetable or animal sources, e.g. pine oil, citrus oil, jasmine oil, lily oil, rose oil or ylang-ylang oil, Essential oils of relatively low volatility, which in most cases are used as aromatic components, are also suitable as perfume oils, e.g. sage oil, chamomile oil, clove oil, melissa oil, mint oil, cinnamon leaf oil, linden blossom oil, juniperberry oil, vetiver oil, olibanum oil, galbanum oil and ladanurn oil.


Preferably suitable as pearlizing component are fatty acid monoalkanolamides, fatty acid dialkanolamides, monoesters or diesters of alkylene glycols, in particular ethylene glycol and/or propylene glycol or oligomers thereof, with higher fatty acids, such as, for example, palmitic acid, stearic acid and behenic acid, monoesters or polyesters of glycerol with carboxylic acids, fatty acids and metal salts thereof, ketosulfones or mixtures of the specified compounds. Particular preference is given to ethylene glycoldistearates and/or polyethylene glycoldistearates having on average 3 glycol units.


If the compositions according to the invention comprise pearlizing compounds, these are preferably present in the compositions according to the invention in an amount of from 0.1 to 15% by weight and particularly preferably in an amount of from 1 to 10% by weight, in each case based on the total weight of the composition.


The acids or alkalis used for adjusting the pH are preferably mineral acids, in particular HCl, inorganic bases, in particular NaOH or KOH, and organic acids, in particular, citric acid.


The examples and applications below are intended to illustrate the invention in more detail without, however, limiting it thereto. All of the, percentage data is percent by weight (% by wt.).







PREPARATION EXAMPLES
General Operating Procedure

In the preparation of the phosphoric acid esters present in the compositions according to the invention, phosphoric acid (85% strength), fatty alcohol ethoxylate and/or dial and/or polyol are used in a certain molar ratio. For this purpose, all starting materials are initially introduced in a stirred apparatus with heating mantle, separator with condenser and vacuum connection. The mixture is heated to 100° C., evacuated three times to 100 mbar and then aerated again with nitrogen. After being rendered inert for a further 4 hours (nitrogen introduction 20 liter/hour) at 100° C., the mixture is heated to 230° C. with nitrogen introduction and esterified (water discharge). The reaction times are 24 to 42 hours (calculated above 230° C. esterification temperature), in particular 40 hours. The residual acid number is then <3 mg KOH/g. This corresponds approximately to 93 to 96% conversion (based on starting acid number). When the reaction is complete, the product is cooled to 80° C. and poured into a dish, and the solidified melt is comminuted.


Phosphoric Acid Ester 1


Ester from 13.8 g of phosphoric acid, 316.1 g of polyglycol 4000 and 296.0 g of ceteareth-25 (C16/18 fatty alcohol+25 mol of ethylene oxide) in the molar ratio 3:2:5, residual acid number: 1.9 mg KOH/g (94% conversion), 31P-NMR: diester/triester=18/82 (molar ratio).


Phosphoric Acid Ester 2


Ester from 12.7 g of phosphoric acid and 701.3 g of ceteareth-50 (C16118 fatty alcohol+50 mol of ethylene oxide) in the molar ratio 1:3, residual acid number: 0.8 mg KOH/g (97% conversion), 31P-NMR: diester/triester=13/87 (molar ratio).


The table below shows the synergism of the phosphoric acid ester with hydrophobically modified, anionic, crosslinked polymers with regard to viscosity and development of yield point.


Phosphoric acid esters 1 and 2 were dissolved (1%) in water at 60° C., the solution was cooled to 25° C. and then admixed with 0.5% Aristoflex® HMB (ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/beheneth-25 methacrylate crosspolymer), and a homogeneous gel was prepared by intensive stirring. For comparison, gels/solutions of the individual components were also prepared.


The viscosity of the solutions was measured using a Brookfield DV-II rotary viscometer, rotational speed 20 s−1 measured at 20° C. At <100 mPa·s, spindle 2 was used, at >10 000 mPa·s spindel 5, at >20 000 mPa·s spindle 6.


The yield points were determined using a Bohlin rheometer using the Casson method (plot shear rate1/2 vs. shear stress1/2) in the 0-1 s−1 shear rate region at 25° C.

It can be seen from the results listed in table 1 that the combination according to the invention of the phosphoric acid esters and the anionic, crosslinked, hydrophobically modified polymers brings about both a significant increase in the yield point of the gel, and also considerably increases the viscosity under the measurement conditions chosen. Moreover, the gels comprising phosphoric acid ester and anionic, crosslinked, hydrophobically modified polymer are clear and, compared with a gel based only on the polysulfonic acid, offer significantly improved pick-up, i.e. the gels can be taken up easily on the finger without the gel liquefying and sliding off.
