The present disclosure relates to spray compositions comprising 2,4-bis-{[4-(2-ethyl hexyloxy)-2-hydroxy]-phenyl}-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine (INCI name: bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine), as well as to methods of making and using such compositions.
Radiation of wavelengths between 290 nm and 400 nm allows tanning of the human epidermis, while radiation of wavelengths between 290 and 320 nm, called UVB rays, hinders the development of a natural tan. Exposure is also likely to lead to a detrimental change in the biomechanical properties of the epidermis, resulting in the appearance of wrinkles leading to premature aging of the skin (i.e. photoaging).
UVA rays with wavelengths between 320 and 400 nm penetrate deeper into the skin than UVB rays. UVA rays cause immediate and persistent browning of the skin. Daily exposure to UVA rays, even for a short time, under normal conditions can damage collagen fibers and elastin, resulting in a change in the microrelief of the skin, the appearance of wrinkles and uneven pigmentation (spots, lack of uniformity of complexion).
Many studies show the need for effective protection against UVA and UVB to prevent sunburn, photoaging, and the like.
In order to obtain a high protection product, it is generally necessary to combine a large number of sunscreens and/or a high amount of UV filters to achieve high levels of filtering efficiency.
However, high levels of UV filters do not lend themselves to an easy elaboration of compositions with a stabilized and pleasant texture which are capable of being sprayed. This is particularly true for compositions containing solid UV filters such as bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine.
Consumers like sprayable sunscreen compositions because they are generally easy to apply and spread during application.
There remains a need in the art for improved spray compositions containing bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine which possess good protection capabilities against UV rays in addition to good spray application and use properties.
Accordingly, one aspect of the present disclosure is a spray composition containing bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine which possesses good protection properties against UV rays in addition to good application and use properties.
The present disclosure relates to spray compositions comprising bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine (BEMT). Preferably, the bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine (BEMT or bemotrizinol) is added to the compositions in an amount effective to protect keratin material against UV rays.
The present disclosure also relates to methods of making spray compositions comprising adding bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine during formation of the compositions. Preferably, the bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine (BEMT) is added to the compositions in an amount effective to protect keratin material against UV rays.
It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the disclosure.
In the following description and the claims appended hereto, it is to be understood that the terms used have their ordinary and accustomed meanings in the art, unless otherwise specified.
“About” as used herein means within 10% of the indicated number (e.g., “about 10%” means 9%-11% and “about 2%” means 1.8%-2.2%).
“A” or “an” as used herein means “at least one.”
“At least one” means one or more and thus includes individual components as well as mixtures/combinations.
As used herein, all ranges provided are meant to include every specific point and range within, and combination of subranges between, the given ranges. Thus, a range from 1-5 includes specifically the integers within the range 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, as well as subranges such as and 2-5, 3-5, 2-3, 2-4, 1-4, etc., as well as all fractional numbers within the range such as 1.2, 2.3, 3.4, etc., and subranges including such fractional numbers such as 1.5-3.8, 2-4.3, 4.2-4.9, etc.
“Film former”, “film-forming polymer” or “film-forming agent” as used herein means a polymer or resin which is capable of leaving a film on the substrate to which it is applied, for example, after a solvent accompanying the film former has evaporated, absorbed into and/or dissipated on the substrate.
“Substituted” as used herein, means comprising at least one substituent. Non-limiting examples of substituents include atoms, such as hydrogen atoms or chlorine atoms, as well as functional groups, such as hydroxyl groups, ether groups, alkoxy groups, acyloxyalky groups, oxyalkylene groups, polyoxyalkylene groups, carboxylic acid groups, amine groups, acylamino groups, amide groups, halogen containing groups, ester groups, thiol groups, sulphonate groups, thiosulphate groups, siloxane groups, and polysiloxane groups. The substituent(s) may be further substituted.
“Volatile”, as used herein, means having a flash point of less than about 115° C.
“Non-volatile”, as used herein, means having a flash point of greater than about 115° C.
“Polymer” as used herein means a compound which is made up of at least two monomers.
“Free” or “substantially free” or “devoid of” as it is used herein means that while it is preferred that no amount of the specific component be present in the composition, it is possible to have very small amounts of it in the compositions of the disclosure provided that these amounts do not materially affect at least one, preferably most, of the advantageous properties of the compositions of the disclosure. Thus, for example, “free of oil” means that an effective amount (that is, more than trace amounts) of oil(s) is/are omitted from the composition (that is, about 0% by weight), “substantially free of oil” means that oil(s) is/are present in amounts not greater than 0.1% by weight, and “devoid of oil” means that oil(s) is/are present in amounts not greater than 0.25% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. The same nomenclature applies for all other ingredients identified throughout the application and in this paragraph such as, for example, specific UV filters and/or surfactants (compositions of the disclosure which are “free of oxybenzone and/or octinoxate,” “substantially free of oxybenzone and/or octinoxate,” and “devoid of oxybenzone and/or octinoxate,” as well as “free of surfactants,” “substantially free of surfactants,” and “devoid of surfactants,” have meanings consistent with the discussion within this paragraph), even if not specifically discussed for each identified ingredient in the application. Discussed examples of the use of such language such as those in this paragraph are intended to be exemplary, not limiting.
“UV filters” as it is used herein means sunscreen active agents approved by a governmental regulatory agency such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the U.S. or the EU Commission in Europe and includes organic UV filters such as avobenzone, octocrylene, benzophenones, benzotriazoles and merocyanines, as well as mineral UV filters such as zinc oxide (ZnO) and titanium dioxide (TIO2).
“Anhydrous” as it is used herein means that compositions of the disclosure contain less than 3% water, meaning that the compositions can also contain less than 2% water, and less than 1% water, as well as being “free of water,” “substantially free of water,” and “devoid of water” as defined above.
“Keratinous materials” means nails (finger and/or toe nails), skin such as body, face, and eye area, scalp, keratin fibers such as eyelashes, eyebrows, and hair, and mucous membranes such as lips.
“Physiologically acceptable” means compatible with spray and having a pleasant color, odor and feel, and which does not cause any unacceptable discomfort (stinging or tautness) liable to discourage a consumer from using the composition.
“UV protection efficiency” or “filtering efficiency” in the context of the present disclosure, is evaluated from one or more of SPF, UVAPF, Critical Wavelength, and UVA-I/UV ratio.
“SPF” (Sun Protection Factor) measures the level of protection against erythema provided by a composition. The SPF value corresponds to the ratio between the minimum erythemal dosage (MED) measured wearing the composition and the MED measured with bare skin. “SPF” is a known term in the sunscreen art and is defined, for example, in A new substrate to measure sunscreen protection factors throughout the ultraviolet spectrum, J. Soc. Cosmet. Chem., 40, 127-133 (May/June 1989).
The evaluation of the SPF (Sun Protection Factor) can be performed, for example, in vitro with spectrophotometer by Labsphere (North Sutton, NH, USA). In such an evaluation, the plate is the material on which the tested composition is applied. For such an evaluation, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) plates can be used. An example of an acceptable protocol is in the process of ISO accreditation under the name ISO Committee Draft 23675.
The evaluation of the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) can also be performed in-vivo according to the ISO 24444:2019 protocol “Cosmetics-Sun protection test methods-In-vivo determination of the sun protection factor (SPF).” Also, it can be determined according to FDA protocols, as described in the document “Labeling and Effectiveness Testing; Sunscreen Drug Products for Over-the-Counter Human Use” published in the US Federal Register on Jul. 5, 2011 (https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2011-14766); 21 C.F.R. Part 352 Subpart D § 352.72, updated and revised by the 2011 publication in the Federal Register.
“UVAPF” (UVA protection factor) relates to an index characterizing the protection against UVA provided by a composition. For example, the UVAPF index can be measured in vivo according to the “PPD” (Persistent Pigment Darkening) method in the ISO-24442:2022 protocol, measuring observed skin color 2 to 4 hours after UVA exposure. Also, it can be determined according to FDA protocols, again as described in 21 C.F.R. Part 352 Subpart D § 352.72 as discussed above in connection with SPF.
The evaluation of UVA protection can also be measured in vitro with the Labsphere® spectrophotometer under conditions such as those discussed above in connection with SPF. ISO 24443:2021 protocol describes such an in vitro method. broad spectrum testing procedures, in particular “critical wavelength” testing procedures, can also be found at 21 C.F.R. Part 352 Subpart D § 352.72. Also,
FDA broad spectrum testing procedures include determining the UVA1/UV ratio as described in “Sunscreen Drug Products for Over-the-Counter Human Use” published in the Federal Register https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/02/26/2019-03019/sunscreen-drug-products-for-over-the-counter-human-use.” In the assay outlined in the monograph, known as the Boots adaptation of the Diffey/Robson test method, a ratio is generated of the protection afforded by the sunscreen product from UVA1 (340-400 nm) compared to the protection from total UV radiation (UVB and UVA at 290-400 nm) calculated from the absorbance curve. This ratio UVA1/UV would represent the score for the product in the in vitro test.
According to the present disclosure, compositions of the present disclosure preferably have one or more of the following properties:
“Makeup Result” as used herein relates to the visual impact of a composition when applied to a keratinous material such as the skin. The makeup result may relate to the apparent color of the product after application on a keratinous material or an optical effect such as shine, blurring of fine lines and imperfections, or hiding effect on pores or blemishes after the product is applied to the keratinous material.
“Long wear” as used herein refers to compositions where color or other apparent properties remains the same or substantially the same as at the time of application, as viewed by the naked eye, after an extended period of time or after a particular stress event such as water immersion or rubbing. “Long wear” may be evaluated by evaluating long wear properties by any method known in the art for evaluating such properties. For example, long wear may be evaluated by a test involving the application of a composition to keratinous material such as skin and evaluating the color of the composition after an extended period of time. For example, the color of a composition may be evaluated immediately following application to keratinous material such as skin and these characteristics may then be re-evaluated and compared after a certain amount of time. Further, these characteristics may be evaluated with respect to other compositions, such as commercially available compositions. “Long wear” may also be evaluated using vitro methods on non-keratinous substrates such as polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), wherein properties such as color, transparency, or vitro SPF may be evaluated before and after a period of time or stressor such as water immersion, incubation at elevated temperatures, or an abrasive technique is applied.
“Natural” as in the phrase “natural compound” refers to any compound derived directly from a natural substance such as a plant without having undergone any chemical modification.
“Compound of natural origin” refers to any compound derived from a natural compound which has undergone one or more chemical modifications, for example by organic synthesis reaction, without the properties of the natural compound having been modified.
“Synthetic compound” refers to any compound which is not a natural compound or a compound of natural origin.
“Room temperature” means about 20-25° C.
“Atmospheric pressure” means about 760 mmHg, i.e. about 105 pascals.
“UV filter” and “sunscreen agent” are used interchangeably in this application.
“UV efficacy” and “UV efficiency” are used interchangeably in this application.
The compositions and methods of the present disclosure can comprise, consist of, or consist essentially of the essential elements and limitations of the disclosure described herein, as well as any additional or optional ingredients, components, or limitations described herein or otherwise useful. For example, the UV (ultraviolet) absorbing system of the compositions of the disclosure can “consist essentially of” bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine alone, or bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine in combination with oxides of zinc, titanium and/or cerium, and/or one or more organic UV filters.
For purposes of the present disclosure, the “basic and novel property” associated with compositions, components and methods which “consist essentially of” identified ingredients or actions is “spray angle, droplet distribution, and/or spray volume of product.”
“Good application and use properties” as used herein refers to properties expected of a spray composition when dispensed from a suitable spray packaging. Desired characteristics in a spray composition which may be referred to herein as “use properties” include an appropriate spray angle, droplet distribution, and spray volume of product.
“Spray angle” or “spray cone angle” as used herein represents the angle of the spray created when an actuator on the spray packaging is engaged to cause product to dispense from the packaging component. The spray angle may be measured visually via photographic examination of droplets as they are exiting the packaging component. Alternatively, the spray angle may be determined by measurement of the diameter of the spray pattern created on a vertical surface when the packaging is sprayed a known distance away from the vertical surface. The angle of the spray can be calculated as two times the inverse cosine of half the diameter of the spray pattern divided by the distance of the packaging component to the vertical surface.
“Droplet distribution” as used herein refers to a property of a spray composition when it is sprayed from a packaging component. The distribution may be assessed visually for homogeneity or droplet size and distribution by spraying a spray composition a controlled distance away from a vertical surface and examining the pattern of droplets created when the actuator is engaged for a pre-determined amount of time. Alternatively, the droplet distribution may be measured using a laser detection equipment such as a Malvern Spraytec Spray Particle Size Analyzer, wherein the droplet distribution may be reported as a volume or size distribution.
“Spray Volume of product” as used herein for purposes of describing good use properties of a spray composition refers to the amount of product per unit of time which is dispensed from a spray packaging, and is used interchangeably with “Spray amount of product”. The spray volume of product may be determined by volumetric or gravimetrically, and is recorded as an amount of product that is dispensed over a controlled period of time.
Compositions of the present disclosure may be in any form suitable for use as a personal care composition, such as that of a stick, a paste, a cream, an anhydrous composition, an aqueous/alcohol-based composition, an emulsion (oil-in-water, water-in-oil, multiple emulsion such as oil-in-water-in-oil), nanoemulsion, a thixotropic gel, a liquid, etc. These compositions can be used for any personal care purpose in cosmetic and/or dermatological products such as, for example, a sunscreen, a foundation, lip balms, lipsticks, concealers, mascaras, leave-in hair products, eye shadows, powders, etc.
Referred to herein are trade names for materials including, but not limited to, materials such as polymers and optional components. Materials are not intended to be limited by materials described and referenced by a certain trade name herein. Equivalent materials (e.g., those obtained from a different source under a different name or catalog (reference) number) to those referenced by trade name may be substituted and utilized in the methods described and claimed herein.
All percentages and ratios are calculated by weight unless otherwise indicated. All percentages are calculated based on the total weight of a composition unless otherwise indicated. All component or composition levels are in reference to the active level of that component or composition, and are exclusive of impurities, for example, residual solvents or by-products, which may be present in commercially available sources.
All U.S. patents or patent applications disclosed herein are expressly incorporated by reference in their entirety.
According to the present disclosure, spray compositions comprising a UV (ultraviolet) absorbing system comprising 4-bis-{[4-(2-ethyl hexyloxy)-2-hydroxy]-phenyl]-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine (INCI name: Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine) are provided. Such spray compositions can be in any form suitable for, and capable of, spraying by any spraying means such as a device for pump spraying or a device for aerosol spraying. For aerosol spraying, spray compositions of the present disclosure preferably comprise at least one propellant to facilitate the atomization of the composition.
Suitable example of acceptable composition forms include, but are not limited to, anhydrous compositions, aqueous/alcohol-based compositions, and emulsions having either an exterior aqueous phase (e.g., oil-in-water (o/w) emulsion) or an exterior oil phase (e.g., water-in-oil (w/o) emulsion). Such exemplary forms of compositions will be discussed further below in connection with ingredients useful in such composition forms.
Preferred spray compositions of the present disclosure are fluid. “Fluid” is understood in particular to mean a composition which is not solid at ambient temperature (25° C.) and for which it is possible to measure a viscosity. The term “fluid” is understood to mean a liquid composition which flows under its own weight at ambient temperature (25° C.) and atmospheric pressure. Advantageously, a fluid composition according to the present disclosure has a complex modulus of rigidity G* of less than 1000 Pa, preferably less than 400 Pa, preferably less than 200 Pa.
Preferably, the composition exhibits, at 25° C., a viscosity of between 0.1 and 25 Pa·s and preferably of between 0.5 and 22 Pa·s. A suitable method for measuring viscosity is generally carried out at 25° C., using a Rheomat RM180 viscometer equipped with a No. 3 spindle or with a No. 4 spindle, according to the working recommendations, the measurement being carried out after 10 minutes of rotation of the spindle in the composition (after which time stabilization of the viscosity and of the rate of rotation of the spindle are observed), at a rate of 200 revolutions/min.
Spray compositions of the present disclosure may also not be fluid at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure, but become fluid when a high rate of shear is applied. Spray compositions which are fluid under high shear rate conditions are preferably sprayed using spray packaging designed to exclude the mixing of spray composition and propellant. Examples of suitable spray packaging include “bag-on-valve” packaging, and may comprise an outer can and an inner bag, wherein the inner bag contains the spray composition and the space between the inner bag and outer can is pressurized using any gas to a pre-determined pressure. In such “bag-on-valve” packaging, an actuator is connected so that when the actuator is engaged, the pressure of the gas between the outer can and inner bag is able to compress the inner bag and dispense the spray composition.
Preferably, spray compositions suitable to be dispensed through bag-on-valve packaging should be fluid (less than 0.1 Pa·s) at high shear rates (about 1000/s).
According to the present disclosure, spray compositions comprising a UV (ultraviolet) absorbing system comprising 4-bis-{[4-(2-ethyl hexyloxy)-2-hydroxy]-phenyl]-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine (INCI name: Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine) are provided.

According to preferred embodiments, bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine is present in compositions of the present disclosure in a UV absorbing effective amount such as, for example, from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight with respect to the total weight of the composition, from about 1% to about 10% by weight, from about 2.5% to about 8% by weight, and from about 4% to about 6% by weight, including all ranges and subranges therebetween such as, for example, from about 4.5% to about 10% by weight, and from about 1% to about 8% by weight, from about 1% to about 6% by weight, from about 5.5% to about 8% by weight, from about 5.7% to about 9% by weight, etc., with all weights being based on the total weight of the composition.
According to preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, spray compositions optionally further comprising at least one additional UV filter (in addition to bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine) selected from the group consisting of organic UV filters and mineral UV filters such as oxides of zinc, oxides of cerium, oxides of titanium, and mixtures thereof are provided.
Additional organic UV filter(s) can be hydrophilic or lipophilic. “Hydrophilic organic UV filter” means a water-soluble organic UV filter or a water-dispersible (in colloidal form) organic UV filter. “Lipophilic organic UV filter” means a UV filter which is dissolved or dispersed in colloidal form in a liquid fatty phase.
