Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

The present specification is a U.S. National Stage of International Patent Application No. PCT/KR2016/001815 filed Feb. 24, 2016, which claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2015-0136662 filed in the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Sep. 25, 2015, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.


TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a water-in-oil polymeric emulsion composition and a method for manufacturing a water-in-oil polymeric emulsion composition, and, more particularly, to a water-in-oil polymeric emulsion composition being used for a cosmetic formulation and a pharmaceutical formulation and a cosmetic and a pharmaceutical formulations containing the water in oil polymeric emulsions of the invention.


BACKGROUND ART

Various thickeners for manufacturing a skincare product, a hair care product, or a cosmetic, dermo-cosmetic, or pharmaceutical composition is publicly known. Thickeners may be largely classified into natural products and synthetic polymers. For the natural products, such as, guar gum, corn starch, or so on, there are disadvantages, such as, price fluctuations, supply problems, and difficulties for uniform quality maintenance. Accordingly, the natural products may be difficult to be industrially used.


Since the synthetic polymer that is generally used is in a solid state such as a powder including an acid functional group, the synthetic polymer should be dispersed in a solution in advance in order to achieve thickening effect, and a neutralization process for the acid functional group is necessary due to pH dependent property of the synthetic polymer; Carbopol and Pemulen are example of these kind of powders. There are also synthetic polymers as powders, such as, Aristoflex and Sepinov for which acid group is already neutralized. However, for these synthetic polymers in powder form, stirring for a long time is necessary and a great care for preventing aggregation and coagulation (or solidification) is necessary in order to produce a uniform solution. In addition, the dust is caused and thus a dust collecting system and personal protective equipment are necessary. Also, the dissolution may be difficult according to states and conditions that the synthetic polymers are used.


In order to overcome defects of the synthetic polymers in powder form, water-in-oil emulsion thickeners have been developed. The water-in-oil emulsion thickeners are easily mixed when they are used for a cosmetic product and so on. Also, since the water-in-oil emulsion thickeners are polymerized after neutralizing an acid functional group, a process for neutralizing the acid functional group is not necessary, unlike most of the synthetic polymers in powder form


The polymers contained in the water in oil emulsions are generally copolymer of acrylamide/alkali metal acrylate or copolymer of acrylamide/sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane-sulfonate. They are already neutralized. For example, when they are dissolved in water with a concentration of 1%, pH of them are generally 6 or more.


As water-in-oil polymeric emulsion thickener, a material having the most efficiency is a copolymer of acrylamide/sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane-sulfonate. This copolymer is described in European Patent No. 0503853.


The water-in-oil polymeric emulsion thickener has a useful viscosity in a large range of pH (for example, pH of 3 to 12). The viscosity of the water-in-oil polymeric emulsion thickener can be maintained with a high efficiency in water containing electrolytes (salt) used for cosmetic industry,


The water-in-oil polymeric emulsion thickener is able to stabilize (or “emulsify”) various kinds of oils. Particularly, the emulsified cosmetic formulations have stability even at a high temperature.


However, the thickener is polymerized from an acrylamide monomer. In cosmetic industry and pharmaceutical industry, frequency in use of a material including acrylamide as a monomer decreases. The residues of the acrylamide are restricted by regulations according to areas. Nevertheless the use of acrylamide in cosmetic and pharmacy industries is in practice banned for new products as the restrictions and end users pressure are too strong.


In order to avoid the use of the copolymer of acrylamide/sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane-sulfonate as a water-in-oil polymeric emulsion thickener, new water-in-oil polymeric emulsion thickeners not using the acrylamide have been developed. The most effective products among the thickeners are as follows:


A copolymer of sodium acrylate/sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane-sulfonate is stated in European Patent No. 1047716, a copolymer of Hydroxyethyl acrylate/sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methyl propane-sulfonate is stated in European Patent No. 1369435, a polymer of sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methyl propane-sulfonate is stated in European Patent No. 1056805, a copolymer of dimethyl acrylamide/sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methyl propane-sulfonate is stated in European Patent No. 1726600, and a copolymer of sodium acrylate/beheneth 25 methacrylate is stated in PCT publication No. WO 02/100374.


The above water-in-oil polymeric emulsion thickeners do not include acrylamide monomer but their efficiencies thereof is lower than the copolymer of acrylamide/sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane-sulfonate.


According to descriptions stated in European Patent No. 1047716, thickening effect is low in a condition of pH 5 or less in a case of the water-in-oil emulsion copolymer of sodium acrylate/sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane-sulfonate. According to descriptions stated in European Patent No. 1056805, viscosity is very low in water containing electrolytes (salt) in a case of the polymer of sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane-sulfonate. According to descriptions stated in PCT publication No. WO 02/100374, it is impossible to increase viscosity in a condition of pH 6 or less in a case of the water-in-oil emulsion copolymer of sodium acrylate/beheneth 25 methacrylate. According to descriptions stated in European Patent No. 1369435, effect for increasing viscosity is low in water containing electrolytes (salt) in a case of the water-in-oil emulsion copolymer of Hydroxyethyl acrylate/sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-propane-sulfonate, and chemical stability of the Hydroxyethyl acrylate is low in a condition of pH 8 or more. Also, according to descriptions stated in European Patent No. 1726600, in the case of the copolymer of dimethyl acrylamide/sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane-sulfonate, viscosity of a solution in water containing electrolytes (salt) are low compared with the conventional materials. Also, the fact that an ‘acrylamide derivative’ (dimethyl acrylamide) is used as monomer should be problem for the final customers.


A simple ester monomer, such as, hydroxyl ethyl acrylate, may be hydrolyzed depending on pH and due to a high temperature. Also, the simple ester monomer may be transformed into unknown impurities or properties of a thickener may be varied by the hydrolysis. The fact may potentially affect stability of cosmetic products. A thickener using the hydroxyethyl acrylate is stated in European Patent No. 1369435.

(4) Stability of the Cosmetic Formulations Based on the Water in Oil Polymeric Emulsions of the Invention in Presence of Hydrogen Peroxide and in Presence of Dihydroxyacetone

The stability of the viscosities (VP) in presence of hydrogen peroxide was confirmed. Particularly, 2 g of the water-in-oil polymeric emulsion composition manufactured by each of Embodiments 1 to 6, 2 g of hydrogen peroxide, and 96 g of water were mixed. Initial viscosity (IV) and viscosity (SV) after one-month storage at a temperature of 40° C. were measured. Also, when ratio (RV) of viscosity variations [{(initial viscosity (IV))−(viscosity (SV) after the one-month storage)}×100/(initial viscosity (IV))] are 5% or less, the viscosity in presence of hydrogen peroxide is decided to be stable.


Color stabilities (CS) in presence of dihydroxyacetone were confirmed. Particularly, 2 g of the water-in-oil polymeric emulsion composition manufactured by each of Embodiments 1 to 6, 5 g of dihydroxyacetone, and 93 g of water were mixed and a color change was confirmed after one-month storage at a temperature of 40° C. When the color is white to yellow, it is decided to be good. When the color is yellow, it is decided to be normal. When the color is brown, it is decided to be not good.
