The present invention belongs to the cosmetic field and relates to the use of polar oils in a cosmetic composition to allow for a quick evaporation of water and/or sweat from the skin, on which the cosmetic composition was applied to.
A beautiful and attractive appearance is a desire for many people. One typical sign of such an appearance is a healthy and smooth looking skin. Therefore, in order to take care on the skin, it is for many people a daily routine to apply cosmetic products such as body lotions, sunscreens or deodorant compositions.
Especially under warm and humid weather conditions it essential for humans to control their body temperature by the production of sweat. Although this is a normal and an essential process to stay healthy, the appearance of visible sweat is in most cultures not very esthetic. This is mainly due to the fact that bacteria present on the skin degrade sweat components which leads to the appearance of an unpleasant odor. Hence, once sweat becomes visible on the skin people expect the person to have an unpleasant odor which may lead to a social isolation.
Generally, the most sweat is released/produced in the axillary region of the body. However, as sweat glands are located all over the body the sweet may also appear in other regions. For people who tend to an increased perspiration it is therefore important to avoid the visible appearance of sweat on the skin.
One way to reduce the appearance of sweat on the skin is to apply cosmetic compositions proving an antiperspirant effect by blocking the sweat glands. Typically such an effect is achieved by the use of aluminum salts in the cosmetic composition. However, in some global regions customers prefer to use cosmetic products which are free from aluminum salts. Furthermore, by applying antiperspirant products all over the body the temperature regulation of the human body may be affect. This effect may not be desirable for most of the people.
Another approach to reduce the appearance of visible sweat on the human body is to apply cosmetic composition containing a water absorbing ingredient. Such ingredient may be polysaccharides such as starch derivatives, e.g. sodium hydroxypropyl starch phosphate.
However, such composition usually has the disadvantage that white residues remain on the skin, what is rather unpleasant for the consumer.
For people with dry skin it is an important procedure to apply a body lotion once a day to increase the elasticity and suppleness of the skin. However, the use of such products is often associated with certain disadvantages. For example, it is problematic for people who tend to have an increased perspiration that due to the body lotion the water from sweat remains on the skin for a prolonged period of time. As discussed before this fact is rather annoying for the consumer for esthetic reasons.
Therefore, it is desirable to provide caring body lotion or sunscreen products which do not suffer the disadvantages discussed above. In particular, it is desirable that after application of a body lotion or sunscreen to the skin water and/or sweat can quickly evaporate from the skin. Thereby, it is desirable to avoid the use of antiperspirant actives, in particular the use of aluminum salts. Furthermore, it is desirable that the ingredients contained in the cosmetic composition do not form white residues by the absorption of water, such as described above for the some polysaccharides.
The document U.S. Pat. No. 6,319,491 B1 discloses an anti-sweat lotion to control the perspiration. However, the document could not direct the person skilled in art to the present invention, as it does not disclose a way to increase the sweat evaporation rate. Instead, it is directed to avoiding perspiration.
It was surprisingly found that the objectives described above can be solved by the present invention.
The invention is the use of an oil a) having a dielectric constant of at least 4.0 in a cosmetic composition to increase after application of the composition to the human skin the evaporation rate of water and/or sweat from the skin.
The term “after application” refers herein to a period of 12 hours, preferably 6 hours starting with the application of the cosmetic composition.
A further object of the present invention is the use of an oil a) having a dielectric constant of at least 4.0 in a cosmetic composition to reduce the appearance of sweat on the human skin.
Still another object of the present invention is the use of an oil a) having a dielectric constant of at least 4.0 in a cosmetic composition to reduce the appearance of sweat stains on clothing, worn on the skin after application of cosmetic composition to the skin.
According to the present invention sweat stains are understood as the wet appearance of clothing from sweat.
A further object of the invention is a method to increase the water and/or sweat evaporation rate on the skin characterized in that a cosmetic composition containing an oil a) having a dielectric constant of at least 4.0 is applied to the skin before the skin becomes wet and/or before perspiration starts.
The cosmetic compositions according to the invention allow for a surprisingly fast evaporation of water and/or sweat from skin preconditioned with the cosmetic composition. Hence, another aspect of the invention is the cosmetic composition as disclosed herein.
According to the invention oils generally are understood as water immiscible organic substances, which are liquid at 20° C. and 1013 hPa.

In the case the cosmetic composition comprises at least one oil phase and at least one aqueous phase it is generally preferred, if at least one oil phase is dispersed in an aqueous phase.
One type of cosmetic compositions comprising an oil phase dispersed in an aqueous phase are known as oil-in-water emulsions. The at least two phases contained in an emulsion are stabilized by emulsifiers, avoiding a phase separation.
A first preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the cosmetic composition is an oil-in-water emulsion. Within this first preferred embodiment it is preferred if the cosmetic composition contains at least one emulsifier having a HLB value in the range from 8 to 18, more preferably in the range from 10 to 15. One emulsifier, which is especially preferred is glyceryl stearate citrate.
Within the first preferred embodiment of the invention, it is also further preferred if the cosmetic composition comprises at least one polymeric rheology modifier, which is preferably a carbomer. If the composition comprises at least one polymeric rheology modifier, it is preferred if the total quantity of the polymeric rheology modifier is in the range from 0.05% to 0.6% by weight, more preferred from 0.1% to 0.3% by weight and most preferred from 0.15% to 0.25% by weight, calculated to the total weight of the composition. Accordingly it is preferred if the composition comprises at least carbomer and the total quantity of the carbomer is in the range from 0.05% to 0.6% by weight, more preferred from 0.1% to 0.3% by weight and most preferred from 0.15% to 0.25% by weight, calculated to the total weight of the composition.
Another type of a two-phase cosmetic composition is known as hydrodispersion. Hydrodispersions consist of an oil phase dispersed in an external aqueous phase, whereby the stability of the multiphase system is ensured in that the aqueous phase contains a gelling agent forming a gel structure, in which the droplets of the oil phase are stably suspended. Therefore, in contrast to emulsions, hydrodispersions are stable in the absence of emulsifier.
Therefore, a second preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the composition comprises at least one gel-forming polymer and the total quantity of emulsifiers is less than 2% by weight, more preferably less than 1% by weight, still more preferably less than 0.5% by weight, still more preferably less than 0.2% by weight and most preferably 0% by weight, calculated to the total weight of the composition.
One preferred type of gel-forming polymer is known under the CTFA declaration acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer. Hence, it is preferred, if the cosmetic composition according to the second preferred embodiment of the invention contains at least one acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer.
Hence, it is preferred if the cosmetic composition comprises at least one acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer and the total quantity of emulsifiers is less than 2% by weight, more preferably less than 1% by weight, still more preferably less than 0.5% by weight, still more preferably less than 0.2% by weight and most preferably 0% by weight, calculated to the total weight of the composition.
Within the second embodiment of the invention it is further preferred if the composition contains as gel-forming agent at least one acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer, whereby the total quantity of the acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer is in the range from 0.05% to 2% by weight, more preferably 0.1% to 1% by weight and most preferably 0.2% to 0.7% by weight, calculated to the total weight of the composition.
It was surprisingly noticed, that the water and/or sweat evaporation rate is very high, if the acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer is defined by the fact that, if the polymer is dissolved in a total quantity of 0.2% by weight in water and the mixture is adjusted to a pH of 7.5, the resulting mixture has a viscosity in the range from 6500 mPa·s to 8000 mPa·s, whereby the viscosity is measured using a Brookfield RV viscometer, spindle RV 4, 20 rpm without Helipath, at 20° C. ambient temperature and 20° C. sample temperature.
According to the invention the pH-adjustment for the measurement of the viscosity of the acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer is either done by the addition of sodium hydroxide or citric acid.
An acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer which is according to the present invention is commercially available under the trade name Pemulen™ TR-1 sold by the Fa Lubrizol. Viscosity measurements which were made according to invention indicated a viscosity of 7400 mPa·s for Pemulen™ TR-1. The acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer which is sold under the trade name Pemulen™ EZ-4U by the Fa Lubrizol has a viscosity of 4900 mPa·s, measured as specified above.
Hence, within the second preferred embodiment it is especially preferred, if the cosmetic composition contains, calculated to the total weight of the composition, 0.05% to 2% by weight, more preferably 0.1% to 1% by weight and most preferably 0.2% to 0.7% by weight of at least one acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer, which is defined by the fact that, if the polymer is dissolved in a total quantity of 0.2% by weight in water and the mixture is adjusted to a pH of 7.5, the resulting mixture has a viscosity in the range from 6500 mPa·s to 8000 mPa·s, whereby the viscosity is measured using a Brookfield RV viscometer, spindle RV 4, 20 rpm without Helipath, at 20° C. ambient temperature and 20° C. sample temperature.
It is further preferred within the second embodiment of the present invention, if the ratio by weight between the total quantity by weight of the oil a) and the acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer is in the range from 1:1 to 100:1, more preferably 4:1 to 40:1 and most preferably 7:1 to 13:1.
Within the second embodiment of the invention it is also generally preferred, if the total quantity of any further polymeric rheology modifier, in particular polysaccharides, chemically modified polysaccharides, carbomers, sodium polyacrylate and/or further non-crosslinked polymers which are polymerized from a mixture containing acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, vinylpyrrolidone and/or vinyl acetate, is less than 0.5% by weight, more preferably less than 0.15% by weight and most preferably 0% by weight, calculated to the total weight of the composition. That means it most preferred if the cosmetic composition does not contain a rheology modifier selected from the group of polysaccharides, chemically modified polysaccharides, carbomers, sodium polyacrylate and/or further non-crosslinked polymers which are polymerized from a mixture containing acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, vinylpyrrolidone and/or vinyl acetate.
Generally, the cosmetic compositions according to the present invention can be prepared by common formulation techniques for emulsions. However, in the case the cosmetic composition according to the invention contains an UV-filter which is soluble in water it may happen that the water-soluble UV-filter affects the gel formation of the acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer resulting in a loss of viscosity. It was surprisingly found that this problem can be addressed by adding the water-soluble UV-filter after the mixing of all other ingredients. This means that if the composition of the present invention contains at least one water soluble UV-filter and a gel forming agent, it is preferred that the water-soluble UV-filter is/are added after the formation of the gel structure.
The following examples should illustrate the compositions of this invention, without intending to limit the invention to these examples. The numerical values in the examples are percentages by weight, based on the total weight of the preparations.
Butyrospermum
Parkii Butter
The sweat evaporation after application of the compositions listed in table 2 (Inv.1, Inv.2, Com. 1 and Com. 2) was investigated in the following study:
In total 11 volunteers took part in the study, whereby each composition was evaluate once by each volunteer.
By looking at the evaporation factor for the different formulations it can be established that in both comparison experiments (Inv.1 vs. Com.1 and Inv.2 vs Com.2) the evaporation rate for the formulations according to the invention was significantly higher than for the comparison examples. This is indicated by the fact that the evaporation factor is lower for the inventive compositions. None of the inventive compositions left white residues behind on the skin after drying.
It was further investigated if the compositions disclosed in table 2 had an antiperspirant effect. The experiments undertaken indicated that none of the compositions had an antiperspirant effect.
The following examples shall further exemplify the present invention.
