The present invention generally relates to cosmetic compositions for protecting skin and hair from UV radiation and to a method using such cosmetic compositions.
Human skin, the body's largest organ, performs numerous vital functions. Having a surface area of average approximately 2 m2 in adults, the skin has a very major role as a protective and sense organ. The task of this organ is to mediate and provide defense against mechanical, thermal, actinic, chemical and biological stimuli. The skin accordingly also protects the human body inter alia from the harmful action of the ultraviolet part of solar radiation, but despite its own protective mechanisms is itself also damaged by this ultraviolet radiation.
Excessive UV-B radiation (radiation in the range between 290 nm and 320 nm) may, for example, lead to erythema, simple sunburn or indeed to skin burns of greater or less severity. Sunlight has its maximum erythemic action in the range around 308 nm.
While it was originally assumed that the longer-wave UV-A radiation with a wavelength of between 320 nm and 400 nm had only a negligible biological action, numerous studies have now demonstrated that UV-A radiation is far more dangerous than UV-B radiation with regard to triggering photodynamic, specifically phototoxic responses and chronic changes in the skin.
Furthermore, the harmful influence of UV-B radiation may be further boosted by UV-A radiation.
For instance, it has been found that even UV-A radiation under entirely normal everyday conditions is sufficient to damage the collagen and elastin fibres, which are of great significance to the structure and strength of the skin, within a short time. This results in chronic light-dependent skin changes, the skin “ageing” prematurely. Clinical manifestations of light-aged skin include, for example, lines and wrinkles and an irregular, furrowed relief. Areas of skin affected by light-dependent skin ageing may also exhibit irregular pigmentation. Brown spots, keratoses and even carcinomas or malignant melanomas may also form.
Skin prematurely aged by everyday UV exposure is moreover distinguished by lower activity of the Langerhans cells and chronic, low-level inflammation.
Some 90% of the ultraviolet radiation reaching the earth consists of UV-A rays. While UV-B radiation varies greatly as a function of numerous factors (for example season, time of day or latitude), UV-A radiation remains relatively constant irrespective of factors governed by season, time of day or geography. At the same time, the majority of UV-A radiation penetrates into the living epidermis, whereas approximately 70% of the UV-B rays are absorbed by the stratum corneum.
Cosmetic photoprotective compositions are used to protect the skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation. These cosmetic photoprotective compositions include at least one, but generally a combination of UV filter substances.
The UV filter substances are substances which assume liquid or crystalline form at room temperature and which are capable of absorbing ultraviolet rays and releasing the absorbed energy again in the form of longer-wave radiation, for example heat. A distinction is drawn between UV-A filters and UV-B filters, depending on the wavelength range in which the absorption maximum of the filter is located.
It is often very difficult to incorporate organic UV filters into cosmetic carriers in the quantities required for a high sun protection factor in such a manner that compositions which have long-term stability and pleasant, in particular non-tacky, properties are obtained.
The problem addressed by the present invention was accordingly that of providing photoprotective compositions which include at least one organic UV filter, assume storage-stable form, thus are both chemically and physically stable, and are distinguished by good cosmetic properties, in particular low tackiness and good skin compatibility.
German patent application DE 199 19 630 Al describes sunscreen preparations which, in addition to further components, include polyglycerol fatty acid esters and organic UV filters.
Furthermore, other desirable features and characteristics of the present invention will become apparent from the subsequent detailed description of the invention and the appended claims, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and this background of the invention.
A cosmetic composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion includes at least one monoglycerol fatty acid ester A, at least one first polyglycerol difatty acid ester B, at least one second polyglycerol difatty acid ester C which differs from the first polyglycerol difatty acid ester B, at least one fatty acid ester of the general formula (I)
the residues R1 and R2 mutually independently denoting a saturated or unsaturated alkyl residue with 16 to 26 carbon atoms, and at least one organic UV filter.
A combination that includes at least one monoglycerol fatty acid ester A, at least one first polyglycerol difatty acid ester B, at least one second polyglycerol difatty acid ester C which differs from the first polyglycerol difatty acid ester, and at least one fatty acid ester of the general formula (I)

The following detailed description of the invention is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the invention or the application and uses of the invention. Furthermore, there is no intention to be bound by any theory presented in the preceding background of the invention or the following detailed description of the invention.
It has now surprisingly been found that cosmetic photoprotective compositions which, in addition to an organic UV filter, furthermore include a combination of four specific fatty acid esters solve the above-stated problems. Cosmetic compositions on the basis of these combinations are distinguished from conventional prior art compositions by good cosmetic compatibility, good application properties and low tackiness and are furthermore also physically and chemically stable at elevated temperatures over an extended period.
