Screening cosmetic composition containing a mixture of 1,4-benzenedi(3-methylidene-10-camphosulfonic) acid, partially or completely neutralized, and metal oxide nanopigments

Abstract
The invention relates to a screening cosmetic composition comprising, in a mixture, 0.5 to 10% by weight of metal oxide nanopigments chosen from titanium, zinc, cerium or zirconium oxide or mixtures thereof, with a mean diameter of less than 100 nm, and 0.1 to 10% by weight of 1,4-benzenedi(3-methylidene-10-camphosulfonic) acid or one of its alkali metal, ammonium, amine, alkanolamine, Ca, Zn, Mg, Ba, Al or Zr salts, in a cosmetically acceptable carrier. This composition is useful as composition for protecting the human epidermis or the hair against UV rays or as make-up.
Description

The subject of the present invention is a screening cosmetic composition containing 1,4-benzenedi(3-methylidene-10-camphosulfonic) acid, partially or completely neutralized, and at least one metal oxide nanopigment, as well as its use for protecting the human epidermis and the hair and as make-up.
1,4-Benzenedi(3-methylidene-10-camphosulfonic) acid and its salts, which are described in French Patents no. 2,528,420 and 2,639,347, by the applicant, are so-called broad-band screening agents which absorb ultraviolet rays with wavelengths of between 280 and 400 nm, and with absorption maxima of between 320 and 400 nm, being situated in particular at around 345 nm. However, cosmetic compositions containing such screening agents have the disadvantage of leaving a relatively sticky feel on the skin and the hair.
Moreover, the efficacy of cosmetic compositions containing these broad-spectrum UV screening agents, expressed as the light-protection factor which is called "protection index or PI", is good but still proves to be inadequate for very sensitive skins or skins continually exposed to solar radiation.
The protection index or PI may be expressed by the ratio of the irradiation time required to reach the erythematogenic threshold with the UV screening agent to the irradiation time required to reach the erythematogenic threshold without the UV-screening agent.
Furthermore, the use of conventional metal oxides with a particle size of between 100 and 700 nm, such as titanium oxide, in make-up where the said titanium oxide is used as opacifying white pigment in combination with colored pigments, is known. These compounds are particularly advantageous because of their ultraviolet radiation-diffusion and reflection properties which enable the human epidermis to be protected against ultraviolet rays. However, when the concentration of titanium oxide in a cosmetic composition is increased in order to enhance the protection against ultraviolet rays, a cosmetic product is obtained which is difficult to apply to the skin, which is opaque and which leaves a whitish film on the skin, after application, which is disliked by users.
Attempts were therefore made to reduce the particle size of the metal oxide pigments. However, it was discovered that the exposure of metal oxide pigments with a particle size of less than 100 nm, called "nanopigments", to light may generate a light-induced reaction which is prejudicial to the stability of the cosmetic compositions, in particular those containing lipids.
According to the invention, it has been discovered, surprisingly, that the combination of metal oxide nanopigments, with a particle size of less than 100 nm, with partially or completely neutralized 1,4-benzenedi(3-methylidene-10-camphosulfonic) acid, in a cosmetic composition, makes it possible on the one hand, to improve the cosmetic properties of the said composition and especially to reduce the sticking effect of the screening agent and the residual whitening of the skin after application, and on the other hand, to reduce or inhibit the light-induced reaction of metal oxide nanopigments. The cosmetic compositions thus obtained also possess a high protection index in UV-B and, by virtue of their high absorption in UV-A, they make it possible to prevent the development of photodermatoses, including benign or polymorphous summer light-induced cutaneous lesions. Furthermore, they are highly resistant to water, that is to say that the protection index is highly stable over time, especially after a shower or a swim.
The subject of the present invention is therefore a screening cosmetic composition containing, in a mixture, partially or completely neutralized 1,4-benzenedi(3-methylidene-10-camphosulfonic) acid of formula (I) below, and at least one metal oxide nanopigment in a cosmetically acceptable carrier.
Partially or completely neutralized 1,4-benzenedi(3-methylidene-10-camphosulfonic) acid is of formula: ##STR1## in which A denotes a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal, an NH(R).sub.3 .sup.+ group, the R radicals being identical or different and denoting a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl or hydroxyalkyl radical, or alternatively an M.sup.n+ /n group where M.sup.n+ is a polyvalent metal cation in which n is equal to 2 or 3 or 4, M.sup.n+ preferably denoting Ca.sup.2+, Zn.sup.2+, Mg.sup.2+, Ba.sup.2+, Al.sup.3+ or Zr.sup.4+.
It is of course understood that the compound of formula (I) can give rise to the "cis-trans" isomer around one or more double bond(s) and that all the isomers form part of the invention.
In the present application, "nanopigment" will be understood to mean a pigment with a mean diameter of less than 100 nm, and preferably of between and 5 and 50 nm.
