The invention is in the field of compositions for application to keratinous surfaces for coloring, conditioning, or treating the keratinous surface for improvement.
There are many problems in formulating topical compositions. In order to be commercially acceptable, the composition must be stable. No matter how efficacious a product is, the product will not be commercially acceptable if it separates or otherwise deteriorates under normal shipping and storage conditions prior to sale. In addition, when compositions applied to the skin are meant to form a film, it is important that the film formed be relatively homogeneous on the skin. One criterion for assessing the adequacy of a film formed on skin is spreadability, which means that when a composition is applied to skin it should spread onto the skin to form a relatively even film. This is particularly important when it comes to color cosmetics and sunscreens. Obviously a sun bather does not want to apply a sunscreen film that leaves gaps in coverage, nor does a consumer want to apply a lipstick that does not evenly color the lips. It is believed that spreadability and relatively homogeneous film formation on skin is improved when the composition is formulated with ingredients that improve dispersibility of various components such as particulates, oils, and polymers, in the composition.
Cyanodiphenylacrylates are generally known for enhancing SPF when incorporated into sunscreens. U.S. Patent Publication 2009/0039323A1 teaches that certain α-cyanodiphenylacrylates act by accepting the triplet excited state energy generated by organic sunscreens such as Avobenzone when it is exposed to certain environmental conditions. The end result is that the excess energy formed by the unstable Avobenzone is then dissipated and does not result in an unstable ingredient that compromises the stability of the formula. However, cosmetic formulators must combine more than cyanodiphenylacrylates and organic sunscreens to make a commercially acceptable cosmetic formula, particularly when it may contain other ingredients. One formulation concern is aesthetics. No matter how efficacious a product is, consumers will not buy it if it is aesthetically unpleasant when applied to skin. In order to improve aesthetics, cosmetic formulators use light, dry oils such as silicones. Silicones provide aesthetically pleasing cosmetic formulas but contribute to certain disadvantages when it comes to film formation on skin. In particular, cosmetics containing silicone may provide uneven film formation on skin surfaces. This is an obvious disadvantage when formulating products such as sunscreens, where an even film on skin is desired.
It has been found that in addition to its SPF enhancing capability, certain α-cyanodiphenylacrylates, despite their lipophilic character, are excellent dispersants for cosmetic ingredients, including those that are polar or that may contain both lipophilic and hydrophilic moieties. The combination of α-cyanodiphenylacrylates with oxyalkylenated organosiloxanes is particularly effective in forming topical cosmetic products that provide a spreadable, smooth and even film when applied to skin. Most unexpectedly, the α-cyanodiphenylacrylates are compatible with both silicones and organosiloxane emulsifiers, enabling formation of composition that provide a smooth and even film on skin where the ingredients present are dispersed in the composition. When dispersion of cosmetic ingredients is optimized the composition exhibits maximum effectiveness in forming a film on skin, improving SPF protection, and providing commercially acceptable aesthetics.
The invention is directed to a topical composition comprising at least one α-cyanodiphenylacrylate and at least one oxyalkylenated organosiloxane emulsifier.
The invention is also directed to a method for stabilizing a composition comprising formulating said composition at least one α-cyanodiphenylacrylate and at least one oxyalkylenated organosiloxane emulsifier.

The oil phase structuring agent is compatible with the cyanodiphenylacrylate, particularly if the cyanodiphenylacrylate is soluble in the nonpolar oils forming the oil phase of the composition. The term “compatible” means that the oil phase structuring agent and cyanodiphenylacrylate derivative are capable of being formulated into a cosmetic product that is generally stable. The structuring agent may be present in an amount sufficient to provide a liquid composition with increased viscosity, a semi-solid, or in some cases a solid composition that may be self-supporting. The structuring agent itself may be present in the liquid, semi-solid, or solid form. Suggested ranges of structuring agent are from about 0.01 to 70%, preferably from about 0.05 to 50%, more preferably from about 0.1-35% by weight of the total composition. Suitable oil phase structuring agents include those that are silicone based or organic based. They may be polymers or non-polymers, synthetic, natural, or a combination of both.

A variety of oil phase structuring agents may be silicone based, such as silicone elastomers, silicone gums, silicone waxes, linear silicones having a degree of polymerization that provides the silicone with a degree of viscosity such that when incorporated into the cosmetic composition it is capable of increasing the viscosity of the oil phase. Examples of silicone structuring agents include, but are not limited to:
(a). Silicone Elastomers
Silicone elastomers suitable for use in the compositions of the invention include those that are formed by addition reaction-curing, by reacting an SiH-containing diorganosiloxane and an organopolysiloxane having terminal olefinic unsaturation, or an alpha-omega diene hydrocarbon, in the presence of a platinum metal catalyst. Such elastomers may also be formed by other reaction methods such as condensation-curing organopolysiloxane compositions in the presence of an organotin compound via a dehydrogenation reaction between hydroxyl-terminated diorganopolysiloxane and SiH-containing diorganopolysiloxane or alpha omega diene; or by condensation-curing organopolysiloxane compositions in the presence of an organotin compound or a titanate ester using a condensation reaction between an hydroxyl-terminated diorganopolysiloxane and a hydrolysable organosiloxane; peroxide-curing organopolysiloxane compositions which thermally cure in the presence of an organoperoxide catalyst.
One type of elastomer that may be suitable is prepared by addition reaction-curing an organopolysiloxane having at least 2 lower alkenyl groups in each molecule or an alpha-omega diene; and an organopolysiloxane having at least 2 silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms in each molecule; and a platinum-type catalyst. While the lower alkenyl groups such as vinyl, can be present at any position in the molecule, terminal olefinic unsaturation on one or both molecular terminals is preferred. The molecular structure of this component may be straight chain, branched straight chain, cyclic, or network. These organopolysiloxanes are exemplified by methylvinylsiloxanes, methylvinylsiloxane-dimethylsiloxane copolymers, dimethylvinylsiloxy-terminated dimethylpolysiloxanes, dimethylvinylsiloxy-terminated dimethylsiloxane-methylphenylsiloxane copolymers, dimethylvinylsiloxy-terminated dimethylsiloxane-diphenylsiloxane-methylvinylsiloxane copolymers, trimethylsiloxy-terminated dimethylsiloxane-methylvinylsiloxane copolymers, trimethylsiloxy-terminated dimethylsiloxane-methylphenylsiloxane-methylvinylsiloxane copolymers, dimethylvinylsiloxy-terminated methyl(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)polysiloxanes, and dimethylvinylsiloxy-terminated dimethylsiloxane-methyl(3,3,-trifluoropropyl)siloxane copolymers, decadiene, octadiene, heptadiene, hexadiene, pentadiene, or tetradiene, or tridiene.
Curing proceeds by the addition reaction of the silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms in the dimethyl methylhydrogen siloxane, with the siloxane or alpha-omega diene under catalysis using the catalyst mentioned herein. To form a highly crosslinked structure, the methyl hydrogen siloxane must contain at least 2 silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms in each molecule in order to optimize function as a crosslinker.
The catalyst used in the addition reaction of silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms and alkenyl groups, and is concretely exemplified by chloroplatinic acid, possibly dissolved in an alcohol or ketone and this solution optionally aged, chloroplatinic acid-olefin complexes, chloroplatinic acid-alkenylsiloxane complexes, chloroplatinic acid-diketone complexes, platinum black, and carrier-supported platinum.
