TITLE

EXCELLENT WATER RESISTANCE AND SPF BOOSTING PROPERTIES WITH AN ASSOCIATION OF POLYESTER-5 AND STYRENE/ACRYLATES/AMMONIUM

METHACRYLATE COPOLYMER

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0001] The present disclosure is directed to cosmetic photoprotection compositions. The compositions are useful in cosmetic, skin care and sun care. More specifically, the compositions contain the combination of Polyester-5 and Styrene/Acrylates/Aimmonium Methacrylate copolymer.

BACKGROUND

[0002] The negative effects of exposure to ultraviolet ("UV") light are well-known. Prolonged exposure to sunlight causes damage such as sunburn to the skin. When skin is exposed to UV light having a wavelength of from about 290 nm to about 400 nm, long term damage can lead to serious conditions such as skin cancer.

[0003] UV light also contributes to aging by causing free radicals to form in the skin. Free radicals include, for example, singlet oxygen, hydroxyl radical, the superoxide anion, nitric oxide and hydrogen radicals. Free radicals attack DNA, membrane lipids and proteins, generating carbon radicals. These in turn react with oxygen to produce a peroxyl radical that can attack adjacent fatty acids to generate new carbon radicals. This cascade leads to a chain reaction producing lipid peroxidation products. Damage to the cell membrane results in loss of cell permeability, increased intercellular ionic concentration, and decreased ability to excrete or detoxify waste products. The end result is a loss of skin elasticity and the appearance of wrinkles. This process is commonly referred to as photo- aging.

[0004] Sunscreens can be used to protect against UV damage and delay the signs of aging. The degree of UV protection afforded by a sunscreen composition is directly related to the amount and type of UV filters contained therein. The higher the amount of UV filters, the greater the degree of UV protection. Nevertheless, it is desirable to achieve the best photoprotection efficacy with the lowest amount of UV filters. The inventors of the instant disclosure discovered a novel way to boost water resistance and SPFs that were not previously attainable with such low amounts of overall UV filters.

SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0005] The composition of the instant disclosure typically contains: (a) Polyester-5; (b) Styrene/Acrylates/Ammonium Methacrylate copolymer; (c) one UV filter system; wherein the combination of Polyester-5 and Styrene/Acrylates/Ammonium Methacrylate copolymer improves the photoprotection of the cosmetic sunscreen composition, improves the water resistance of the cosmetic sunscreen composition and reduces the stickiness of the cosmetic sunscreen composition. The UV filter may be a single UV filter, or a combination of two, three, four, five, or more UV filters, including organic and/or inorganic UV filters.

[0006] The cosmetic sunscreen compositions are useful for protecting the skin from damage caused by UV radiation. Further, the cosmetic sunscreen compositions are useful in methods for boosting the SPF of a sunscreen composition comprising Polyester-5, Styrene/Acrylates/Ammonium Methacrylate copolymer and UV filters.

[0007] The instant disclosure relates to cosmetic sunscreen compositions and methods that are unique in their ability to protect the skin. The inventors surprisingly discovered that when certain film formers are combined in a particular ratio, they show an exceptional Water Resistance and an SPF boost in the cosmetic photoprotection composition. The combination also improves the texture of the compositions.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0008] The instant disclosure relates to a cosmetic sunscreen photoprotection comprising: (a) Polyester-5; (b) Styrene/Acrylates/Ammonium Methacrylate copolymer; (c) one UV filter; wherein the combination of Polyester-5 and Styrene/Acrylates/Ammonium Methacrylate copolymer improves the water resistance of the cosmetic composition, improves the SPF of the cosmetic composition, and reduces the stickiness of the cosmetic composition.

[0009] The cosmetic photoprotection compositions described herein may contain at least one sulfopolyester polymer. Sulfopolyester polymers are generally referred to polyesters containing ionic sulfonate (SO3 -) groups, particularly to those synthesized using a sulfomonomer such as, for example, 5-sodiosulfoisophthalic acid (5-SSIPA or SIP) or dimethyl 5-sodiosulfoisophthalate, as one of the diacids in the polyester compositions. Such sulfopolyester polymers are well known to those skills in the art and are commercially available from Eastman Chemical Company under the Eastman AQ™ family of polymers. The polymers are linear, amorphous polyesters that can be dispersed in water without the assistance of surfactants or amines. This water dispersibility is attributed to the ionic nature of the sulfonate substituents attached to the polymer chains. In one embodiment, Polyester-5 is a suitable sulfopolyester polymer for use in this invention and is known as Eastman AQ™ 38S Polymer. It is used as a film former.

[0010] As mentioned above, the Polyester-5 may be in an amount of about 0.5 to about 4 wt. % based on the total weight of the cosmetic photoprotection composition. In some instance, the amount of Polyester-5 is, however, from about 1 to about 4 wt.%, about 1 .5 to 4 wt. %, about 2 to about 4 wt. %, about 1 to about 3.5 wt.%, about 1 to about 3 wt. %, or about 2 to about 3 wt. %.

[0011] The cosmetic photoprotection compositions described herein also contain a Styrene/Acrylates/Aimmonium Methacrylate copolymer. The

Styrene/Acrylates/Aimmonium Methacrylate Copolymer is a polymer of styrene, ammonium methacrylate, and a monomer consisting of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, or one of their simple esters (Wenninger, Canterbery, and McEwen 2000). In one of the embodiment, the suitable acrylate copolymer is, for example, the one known Syntran® latex 5620 CG.

[0012] As mentioned above, the Styrene/Acrylates/Aimmonium Methacrylate copolymer may be in an amount of about 0.1 to about 3 wt. % based on the total weight of the cosmetic photoprotection composition. In some instance, the amount of Styrene/Acrylates/Ammonium Methacrylate copolymer is, however, from about 0.5 to about 3 wt. %, about 1 to 3 wt. %, about 1 .5 to about 3 wt. %, about 0.5 to about 2.5 wt. %, about 0.5 to about 2 wt. %.

Combination of Polyester-5 and Styrene/Acrylates/ammonium Methacrylate copolymer

[0032] An unexpected synergistic effect has been discovered arising from the combination of Polyester-5 and Styrene/Acrylates/ammonium Methacrylate copolymer. The synergistic effect may be achieved when a ratio of each of the film formers is within a suitable range.

[0033] The ratio of Polyester-5 and Styrene/Acrylates/ammonium Methacrylate copolymer may be any suitable ratio, including, but not limited to, a ratio between about 10:1 to about 1 :5, alternatively between about 5:1 to about 1 :3, alternatively between about 2:1 to about 1 :1 .

[0034] The composition according to the present disclosure can be formulated to achieve a variety of different SPFs. For example, the composition can have an in vitro or in vivo SPF of at least 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 105, 1 10, 1 15, 120, 125, 135, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250, 300, 325, 350, 375, 400 or higher (or in a range between any of these values).

SPF Booster

[0035] In the instant disclosure, the term "SPF booster" refers to a material which increases the UV absorption of another material when the two are intermixed in a composition by refracting UV radiation, thereby increasing the effective path length of the UV radiation through the composition.

[0036] The term "booster" or "SPF booster" means a compound or composition that when used in a formulation in conjunction with a UV filtering agent, increases the SPF of the formulation without increasing the amount of UV filtering agent in the formulation. The at least one booster can be any booster known in the art. For example, the at least one booster may be selected from the group consisting of styrene/acrylates copolymer (Sunspheres®), calcium aluminum borosilicate, sodium borosilicate particulates, calcium/sodium borosilicate hollow microspheres, and calcium/sodium borosilicate microspheres. In one embodiment, the booster is styrene/acrylates copolymer (Sunspheres®).

[0037] Other examples of boosters are those capable of reflecting UV light such as glass microspheres. Typically, the glass microspheres used in the compositions are essentially homogeneous and essentially uniform in sphericity and have a mean particle size of between about 5 μιη and 70 μιη, such as from about 10 m to 20 μιη. Glass microspheres useful in the present invention include hollow microspheres of calcium aluminum borosilicate (commercially available from Presperse Inc. under the trade name LUXSIL®), sodium borosilicate particulates (commercially available from PQ Corporation under the trade name Q-CEL 570), calcium/sodium borosilicate hollow microspheres (commercially available from 3M under the trade names ES 22 and 1 K), calcium/sodium borosilicate microspheres (commercially available from 3M's under the trade name Scotchlite™ K20 product).

[0038] The compositions may include one or more boosters. The booster itself is not typically an active ingredient (i.e., UV filter), but is designed to enhance the effectiveness of the sunscreen actives present in the formulation. Suitable boosters include, but are not limited to, styrene/acrylates copolymer, sodium bentonites, highly purified white sodium bentonites, montmorillonite, fluorene derivatives, ester derivatives of cyano(9H-fluoren-9-ylidene), amides, malates, bis-urethanes, or any combinations thereof.

[0077] More exhaustive but non-limiting lists of components useful in the compositions disclosed herein are presented below.

Example 1

[0078] A cosmetic photoprotection composition containing the combination of the Polyester-5 and the Syntran® latex 5620 CG was prepared. The components of the composition are presented in Table 1 , below.

Table 1

[0079] The composition above was prepared by first dissolving the components of phase A together at 75-80 °C. The components of phase B were mixed at 75-80°C separately. The mixture B was added to A quickly and homogenized for 20 minutes. The solution obtained was then started to cool to room temperature. While cooling, add phase C, and homogenize for 15 min. Premix phase D and add below 40°C, and homogenize for 3 minutes. Then cool down to 25°C.

Example 2

Water-Resistance Properties [0080] The compositions in the tables below were prepared as described previously in the Example 1 , but with different quantity and type of film formers. The water resistance was measured.

Table 2: Inventive examples

^*WR = Water Resistance

Table 3: Comparative exam

[0081] In Table 2, the Water Resistance properties of inventive examples containing different types of film formers are shown. The Water Resistance properties of the compositions increase when certain types of film formers are combined.

[0082] In Table 3, the Water Resistance properties of comparative examples containing different types of film formers or none (see comparative example 1 ) are shown. Depending on the polymer combinations, the Water Resistance properties are not the same. The Water Resistance properties were measured in vivo and in vitro. The in vivo method is the FDA approved method.

[0083] The Water Resistance and the SPF were measured at the same time. The SPF was measured before and after the water bath. The in vitro protocol was as followed. The formula was spread on a PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) plate (7x2cm Europlastic plate), and then let dry for 20 minutes. The in vitro SPF was measured using a Labsphere 2000 model. After the measurement, the PMMA plate was put in a circulating bath for 20 minutes. The PMMA plate was then removed and let dry for 20 minutes. The in vitro SPF was measured again and the in vitro WR was calculated using the following formula: s^pFf « _nn

in vitro WR = „„„ x 100

SPF_j = SPF initial

SPFf = SPF post 20 minute immersion

[0084] The control example (Comparative example 1 from Table 3), containing none of the film formers that were being studied, exhibited an average or low Water Resistance properties (29% in Vitro) compared to the inventive and comparative examples. In Table 1 , the association between Syntran® 5620 CG and AQ™38S and the association between Syntran® 5760 CG and AQ™38S exhibited the same high Water Resistance properties (46% in Vitro and 95% in Vivo in the former, 46% in Vitro and 92% in Vivo in the later).

[0085] In the inventive example 3, only the Syntran® 5620 CG was present at the same concentration as the combination between the two previous film formers. The Water Resistance results were better for the in Vitro results compared to the inventive examples 1 and 2 (61 % instead of 46%), and the in Vivo results were close compared to the inventive examples 1 and 2 (95% instead of 92 and 95%, respectively).

[0086] In the inventive example 4 and the comparative example 2, the concentrations studied for each of the active ingredients was 2% instead of 2.82%, but it did show that the Water Resistance properties were different when the two film formers were used separately. In the inventive example 4 comprising Syntran® 5620 CG, the in Vitro Water Resistance measured was 68%. In the comparative example 2 comprising AQ™38S, the in Vitro Water Resistance measured was 17%. These results confirmed that there is a synergy of the Water Resistance when the two film formers are combined.

[0087] The comparative data from Table 2 confirmed the synergy observed between Syntran® 5620 CG and AQ™38S. It did also show that the synergy did not work with any type of film former. For example, in the comparative example 4, even though two film formers were combined at the same concentration than the inventive examples, if a different film former such as Baycusan® C1004 was used, the in Vitro and in Vivo water resistance properties were not as good as the ones using Syntran® 5620 CG in combination with AQ™38S.

Example 3 SPF Boosting Data

[0088] The compositions in the tables below were prepared as described previously in the Example 1 , but with different quantity and type of film formers. The SPF was measured.

Table 4:

Table 5:

AQ™38S, % - 2 2.82 2 2

Baycusan® C1004% - - - 0.82 -

Properties

In VITRO (SPF) 17 38 27 27

In VIVO (SPF) 35 N/A N/A 48 45

[0089] In Table 4, the SPF properties of inventive examples containing different types of film formers are shown. The SPF properties of the compositions increase when certain types of film formers are combined.

[0090] In Table 5, the SPF properties of comparative examples containing different types of film formers or not are shown. Depending on the polymer combinations, the SPF properties are not the same. The method used to measure the SPF was the same as the one described in Example 2.

[0091] The control example (see comparative example 1 from Table 2), containing none of the film formers that were being studied, exhibited an average or low SPF properties (17 in Vitro and 35 in Vivo) compared to the inventive and comparative examples. In Table 4, the association between Syntran® 5620 CG and AQ™38S (see inventive Example 1 ) and the association between Syntran® 5760 CG and AQ™38S (see inventive example 2) both exhibited high SPF properties (51 in Vitro and 63 in Vivo).

[0092] The inventive example 3 containing 2.82% of Syntran® 5620 CG exhibited the same in Vivo SPF properties as inventive examples 1 and 2 (63) but a lower In Vitro SPF properties (45). So, the improvement of the SPF properties is the result of the combination of the two polymers rather than from the presence of one polymer at the same concentration. Furthermore, the comparative results demonstrate also the importance of the combination of the two film formers.

[0093] Regarding the inventive example 4 and the comparative example 2, the concentration of the active ingredient studied was lower in both cases (2% instead of 2.82%), but it did show that the SPF properties were different when the two film formers are used separately. In the Inventive example 4 comprising Syntran® 5620 CG, the in Vitro SPF properties measured was 36%. In the comparative example 2 comprising AQ™38S at the same concentration, the in Vitro SPF properties measured was 38%. These results show that there is a synergy in the SPF properties when the two film formers are combined.

[0094] The comparative data from Table 5 confirmed the synergy observed between Syntran® 5620 CG and AQ™38S. It did also show that the synergy did not work with any type of film former. For example, in the comparative example 4, even though two film formers were combined at the same concentration than the inventive examples, if a different film former such as Baycusan® C1004 was used, the in Vitro and in Vivo SPF properties were not as good as the ones using Syntran® 5620 CG in combination with AQ™38S.

Example 4

Stickiness

[0095] The following table is showing the stickiness, the Water Resistance and the SPF properties of the inventive and comparatives examples.

Table 6:

Legend: (+) stickiness level; (-) no stickiness

*WR = Water Resistance

[0096] In order to measure the in vivo sensation on the skin, the formulation was applied to the arm and the stickiness was attributed. [0097] In Table 6, three inventive examples are shown in comparison to comparative examples in order to illustrate the stickiness levels of the photoprotection products. The inventive examples demonstrate an increase in both the Water Resistance properties and the SPF properties clearly showing the unexpected synergy between the two film formers, in particular, inventive example 1 . Furthermore, the inventive example 1 is the one showing the best feeling on the skin compared to inventive examples 2 and 3. It appears though that the combination between Syntran® 5620 CG and AQ™38S is the best combination for the overall properties (Water Resistance, SPF properties and stickiness).
