Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is directed to new tinted cosmetic sunscreen compositions, comprising (a) at least one colored pigment selected from titanium dioxide, iron oxides and mixtures thereof, (b) glyceryl stearate (and) PEG-100 stearate, (c) potassium cetyl phosphate, and (d) at least one UV filter. The present invention is also directed to the use of a tinted cosmetic sunscreen composition, and to a process for manufacturing a tinted cosmetic sunscreen composition.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The photoprotection of keratinous materials, including both skin and hair, is considered of great importance in order to protect from sun-damage, sunburn, photo-aging, as well as to decrease the chances of skin cancer development caused by exposure to ultraviolet (“UV”) radiation. There are typically two types of UVA/UVB cosmetic sunscreen compositions used to accomplish photoprotection, namely, inorganic UV filters and organic UV filters.


The degree of UV protection afforded by a cosmetic sunscreen composition is directly related to the amount and type of UV filters contained therein. Particularly, cosmetic sunscreen compositions must provide good protection against the sun rays, a measure of which is the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) value, a desirable balance between UVA and UVB protection, particularly a minimum UVA protection factor, yet have satisfactory sensory perception, such as a smooth but not greasy feel upon application.


Furthermore, it is also desirable to produce a cosmetic sunscreen composition that not only confers photoprotection of keratinous materials, but also provides additional properties. For example, it is desired to produce a tinted cosmetic sunscreen composition with high SPF and UVA/UVB protection, with the capability of tinting the skin to correct imperfections, preferably with high coverage that is capable of suiting different skin tones.


Also, the market for tinted cosmetic sunscreen compositions is growing and becoming more and more important, and consumers are looking for innovation, such as a cosmetic sunscreen composition with makeup properties or appearance after application.


The degree of coverage provided by a tinted cosmetic sunscreen composition, when applied to the skin, is directly related to its technology and the amount of colored pigments present in the composition.


However, the combination of sunscreen and tinting properties with other sensorial benefits such as dry touch, good spreadability, the presence of different raw materials (fillers, emollients), this complex system with high amount of UV filters and pigments, has been difficult to achieve, particularly because the presence of high amounts of colored pigments and UV filters in tinted cosmetic sunscreen compositions results in stability issues in the formulation, especially the migration of the pigments to the surface of the composition, even creating discoloration spots on said surface. These issues are intensified in darker shades of tinted cosmetic sunscreen compositions.


Therefore, a tinted cosmetic sunscreen composition with high SPF and UVA/UVB protection and a high quantity of colored pigments, in order to provide a desired color coverage when applied to the skin, which is stable, does not feel heavy on the consumer's skin and does not present migration and separations of the colored pigments on the surface of the composition.


The inventors of the present application have surprisingly managed to develop a tinted cosmetic sunscreen composition with high SPF and UVA/UVB protection and high amounts of colored pigments, while the composition had good sensorial attributes and stability.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is directed to new tinted cosmetic sunscreen compositions, comprising (a) at least one colored pigment selected from titanium dioxide, iron oxides and mixtures thereof, (b) glyceryl stearate (and) PEG-100 stearate, (c) potassium cetyl phosphate, and (d) at least one UV filter. The present invention is also directed to the use of a tinted cosmetic sunscreen composition, and to a process for manufacturing a tinted cosmetic sunscreen composition.


Other features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following more detailed description of the desirable embodiments which illustrates, by way of example, the principles of the invention.

Stability Test

A stability test was performed in order to evaluate the stability of the tinted cosmetic sunscreen composition of Ex. 3 of the present invention, compared to the stability of a state-of-the-art composition as Ex. 2.


The compositions were placed in stability from 16 to 72 hours, after manufacture, in both containing glasses, which were then submitted to:

    • 1 week at 55° C.;
    • 1 month at 45° C., and
    • 2 months at 45° C.


After these periods, the compositions were then microscopic and macroscopic evaluated, in order to assess their behavior of stability and physical chemistry.


The results are demonstrated in FIG. 1, wherein FIG. 1a is related to the results of the state-of-the-art composition of Ex. 2 and FIG. 1b is related to the results of the inventive composition according to Ex. 3.


As can be seen, the composition according to Ex. 3 did not present instability of the formulation, nor migration of the pigments to the surface, whereas the composition of Ex. 2 was clearly instable, with a behavior of white migration spots in the surface.
