POLYMERIC SKIN COLORANT BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to skin staining compositions. There is a considerable demand and need for an artificial skin staining agent which can mimic the tanning effect of the sun on the melanin in the skin. Natural tanning is a time intensive process with potentially harmful short and long term side effects. The harmful side effects of tanning range from simple sunburn to various serious forms of skin cancer. Furthermore, the process is time intensive. However, the healthy look of a tan is a cosmetically and therefore commercially important consideration. An artificial skin stain which could provide the cosmetic look of a natural tan while avoiding all the problems associated therewith would be of considerable significance. The problems associated with a compound which will stain skin and provide a natural color are significant. Skin is a highly sensitive substrate to stain. The dye also must be nontoxic. Furthermore, the dye must be relatively substantive but it is generally undesirable for the stain to have long term permanence. Also it is undesirable to have the stain penetrate too deeply into the epidermis. Of course, the color must be a natural hue and must avoid fading into unnatural oranges or greens while on the skin.
Despite activity in the art the search goes on for a stable skin stain which will impart a natural tan-
SUBSTITUTESHEET
like color. Accordingly it is a general object of the invention to provide a compound which is suitable for staining skin to provide a natural tan coloration. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is .a polymeric skin colorant comprising the reaction product of a hydroxyindole and an oxidant."
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION The skin colorant according to the present invention is based upon hydroxyindoles which have been partially oxidized to color resembling that of natural melanin.
The hydroxyindoles useful in the present invention can be shown as follows:
Rx is H or alkyl (1-4C) ;
R , R5, R6, R7 can be the same or different but one must be OH and the others selected from: H, alkyl (1-4C) ,
COOR' (R' is alkyl 1-4C or H) , .C0NH2, S03M (M is H or an alkali metal), NR'2 (R' is alkyl 1-4C or H) , halogen (Cl, Br, I, F), OR" (R" is alkyl 1-4C) ; CH2OH, CH2NH2, CONR'R" wherein R' and R" can be the same or different; R , R3 can be the same or different and are: H, OH, alkyl (1-4C) , NH2, COOR' (R' is alkyl 1-4C or H) , C0NH2, halogen (Cl, Br, I, F) , OR" (R" is alkyl 1-4C) ; CH2OH, CH2NH2, CONR'R" wherein R' and R" can be the same or different. The hydroxyindoles can be used alone or in a mixture. The preferred hydroxyindole is 5-hydroxyindole because it provides a color which most closely resembles natural melanin.

The hydroxyindole is suitably oxidized by chemical or physical oxidants. In one embodiment, this oxidation produces a skin colorant with melanin-like spectral and optical characteristics which when stabilized provides a dye suitable for application to human skin as an artificial tanning agent.
Another advantageous property of the present invention may be protection of skin against damage by ultraviolet light. While oxidants such as UV light and electric current can be employed, a particularly suitable oxidant in accordance with the invention is a periodate oxidant having the general formula:
MI04 wherein M is an alkali metal, preferably sodium or potassium, and most preferably potassium.
When a polymeric colorant is prepared by oxidizing prior to application to skin, the periodate is generally added in aqueous solution to an aqueous solution of hydroxyindole. The periodate solution generally ranges from about 0.1% by weight to the maximum solubility of the particular periodate being employed, which is about 15% by weight for sodium periodate and about 3% by weight for potassium periodate. More preferably the solution contains up to about 2.0% by weight, and most preferably about 1% by weight.
In addition to the preferred oxidants, other oxidants which can be used in the present invention include periodic acid, other water-soluble salts of periodate, and any of the isolated equilibrium species of periodate. Specifically, periodic acid and salts of rubidium, cesium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, bromine, lanthanum, manganese, iron, copper, zinc, and aluminum can be used.
Other equilibrium states of periodate are as follows:
SUBSTITUTESHEET
- 4 -
In an aqueous solution (pH=0-7) periodic acid exists as an equilibrium mixture between the free acid (H5I06) and its various ions. A shift in equilibrium would be expected on changing the pH, on dilution, or on mixing with an organic solvent
H5I06 ^ H4I06- + H+ H4I06- -£ I04- + 2H20+ H4I06- ^± H3I06 2" + H+ H3I06 2~ ^± H2I06 3" + H+ 2H3I06 2" ^ H2I2O1 0 4" + 2H20(pH = 10).
Any of these'chemical species and many others could be trapped and isolated and when placed into solution would reequilibrate to the other chemical species. The hydroxyindole is generally in aqueous solution at a concentration of about 0.5% to 2.0% by weight, although a saturated solution, i.e., approximately 2% by weight, is preferred.
When 5-hydroxyindole is employed, the formation of a solution of the particular alkali periodate and the reaction of the chosen periodate with 5-hydroxyindole are both pH sensitive. For example, when the periodate employed is NaI04, the solution self acidifies to a pH of about 3 which solvates the oxidant. Such acidic conditions must be maintained, because a 5% by weight NaI0 solution will begin precipitating at a pH of about 6.
If an alkaline medium is employed, the alkali metal is preferably potassium. A basic solution is generally obtained by adding a conventional base such as an alkali hydroxide to the KI04 solution. Sodium and potassium hydroxide are preferred, with potassium being more desirable because of the likelihood of sodium in the solution forming insoluble sodium periodate precipitates. Generally, a pH above 8 is. desirable. In an exemplary embodiment employing 3% by weight of potassium periodate, the periodate is added to a 1% by
UTESHEET
- 5 - weight potassium hydroxide solution.
In addition to the hydroxyindole, the color- forming reagent solution can also contain an added amount of a color modifying agent such as 3,6- di ethylcatechol (3,6-DMC) or 3-methoxycatechol (3-MC) . The preferred coloring agent. is 3,6-DMC, which adds to the red/brown tint.
While not wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that 3,6-DMC and the hydroxyindole compete in the polymerization reaction to form the end polymer dye. Both influence the color produced, with 3,6-DMC generally observed as adding to the red portion of the spectrum.
Generally, the color modifying agent is employed in an aqueous solution at from about 0.01% to 0.5% by weight, and preferably about 0.25% by weight, since no significant advantage is seen above that amount. The weight ratio of color modifying agent to hydroxyindole generally ranges from 1:100 to 1:2, preferably 1:3.
5-hydroxyindole (0.1-10%) was found to produce progressively darker browns and, eventually, black through the addition of 3-methylcatechol (0.1-10%), 3- ethoxycatechol (0.1-10%), or 3,6-dimethylcatechol (0.1- 10%) followed by oxidation by sodium periodate (15%) .
The ratio of the two color forming agents, i.e., the catechols and the hydroxyindole, to the periodate is generally such that the periodate is in an approximately 1:1 molar ratio. Using less than an equi- molar amount of periodate typically results in a product which is difficult to precipitate and when acid is used for the precipitation, an unacceptable color will result. Using an excess of periodate will generally result in an insoluble product not useful as a stain. The color produced by the reaction of the periodate with the color forming agents varies according to the pH of the reaction solution. The pH of such
- 6 - solution is preferably determined by varying the pH of the periodate solution to produce the desired color or tone. An acceptable pH range is from about 8 to 13, preferably about 8 to 10, and most preferably about 8. Preparation of the oxidized skin staining polymer according to one embodiment of the present invention is achieved by reacting the hydroxyindole, and optionally a color forming agent, with the periodate. The reagents which react to form the polymer can be combined in any order. The aqueous hydroxyindole solution, the aqueous periodate solution, and the color modifier solution, if used, can be simultaneously mixed, combined sequentially, or added in aliquots. If added in aliquots, the order of addition and sequence can be varied according to need or desire. The aliquots of the three potential solutions can be added or any one or more solutions can be added by aliquots to a mixture of the remaining solution(s) . This aliquot addition can be used to alter the nature and manner of the monomer addition to the product polymer dye.
For example, when 3,6-DMC is employed, there is evidence that its reaction kinetics and therefore addition to the polymer is more rapid than that of the hydroxyindoles. In order to prevent a heterogeneous polymer with distinct polymers or polymer segments, the 3,6-DMC and the hydroxyindole solution can be added in successive aliquots to the oxidant solution. This successive addition will tend to produce a more homogeneous polymer. Generally it has been found that potassium periodate/potassium hydroxide produces a more desirable product than sodium periodate, since potassium periodate allows use of a basic reaction medium, thereby favoring formation of the more desirably colored polymers. Except for consideration of the periodate used, the pH can be adjusted to affect the color of the polymer formed in the reaction.
SUBSTITUTESHEET
The reaction product is generally isolated in the form of a precipitate from the reaction solution. If the reaction product is in solution in whole or in part, formation of a precipitate can be encouraged by allowing the reaction media to stand for a period of time ranging from a few hours to a few days or more. In addition, precipitation is generally encouraged by either addition of an electrolyte, such as (NH4) S04, or by acidification of the reaction media, for example by HC1 or an ascorbic acid solution.
The acidic precipitation is generally followed by a washing step. The precipitated product is washed with an aqueous liquid, preferably an acidic solution, having a pH ranging from about 1 to 4. It has been found that an acid solution of about pH 2 is particularly effective.
The washed product is then placed in a storage stable wet or dry form. The wet stabilized form of the polymer is generally a pH adjusted alcohol solution. A suitable alkaline agent includes a pH 10 glycine buffer, although other conventional acid/base additions may also be employed. The buffer is generally added to a 50% aqueous ethyl alcohol solution of acidic polymer to form a storage stable form of the polymer. However, it should be noted that ethanol preparations of polymers containing 3-MC are not particularly sensitive to pH and can be stored in acidic or basic conditions.
The dry form is conveniently prepared by moderate heating under vacuum, or lyophilization. The heat treatment generally is for several hours, e.g., eight to twelve hours.
It has additionally been found that hydroxyindoles can be dry-oxidated to an acceptable tan color by exposure to ultraviolet light. For example, exposure to low intensity ultraviolet light of a wavelength less than about 290 nm for about two of three days is typically adequate. Long term atmospheric
SUBSTITUTESHEET
- 8 - exposure can also be employed as a substitute. The product of this reaction can be washed free of unreacted monomer by alkaline extraction and acid precipitation. A storage stable form is produced as above. An optional additive to-the basic hydroxyindole solution is silica gel, which catalyzes oxidation when physical means such as UV light or electric current are employed.
Encapsulation can be performed by adding silica solutions .such as Ludox AM (a silica sol, E.I. du Pont, Wilmington, Delaware) to the hydroxyindole followed by CaCl , or other gelation agents, to gel the silica. The gel, with incorporated hydroxyindole, is dried (e.g., 100-110'C.) and stirred to form pellets. The pelleted form of hydroxyindole can then be oxidized by the method outlined above.
Protein can also be added directly to a solution of hydroxyindole prior to polymerization. However, it has been generally found that bovine albumin has an effect on the polymer color only in basic reaction media.
In another procedure the skin is contacted with a formulation containing about 0.1 to about 10% of a hydroxyindole, a cosmetic carrier such as SYLOID 63 (Davison Chemical Co., Baltimore, Maryland) and a solvent such as water or ethanol. Upon subsequent exposure to UV radiation of skin which has been contacted with the topical dye material, the skin is stained a pleasing tan shade, especially if a 5- or 6- hydroxyindole is utilized.
The polymer of the present invention can be applied to the skin in any of various cosmetic formulations well known to those skilled in the art. These include gels, alcoholic solutions, lotions, and creams.
