Definitions

  • 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.
  • Sunscreens can be used to protect against UV damage and delay the signs of photo- 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.

Description

MINERAL SUNSCREEN COMPOSITIONS WITH HIGH SPF AND SHELF STABILITY REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS AND PRIORITY [0001] This application claims the benefit of, and priority to, US Patent Application No. 17/490,652 filed on September 30, 2021, and French Application No. FR2113459 filed on December 14, 2021, the entireties of which are incorporated herein by reference. FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE [0002] The instant disclosure is directed to sunscreen compositions, and to methods for using the sunscreen compositions to protect keratinous substrates such as skin and hair from UV radiation. BACKGROUND [0003] The negative effects of exposure to ultraviolet (“UV”) light are well known. Prolonged exposure to sunlight causes damage such as sunburn to the skin and dries out hair making it brittle. 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. [0004] 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. [0005] Sunscreens can be used to protect against UV damage and delay the signs of photo- 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. Consumers prefer sunscreen compositions to include natural and not irritating components that appear natural (unnoticeable) once applied. It is known in the art to that there are challenges to providing mineral-based sunscreen products having a high Sun Protection Factor (SPF) that are shelf stable and are capable of maintaining SPF benefit. [0006] The inventors of the instant disclosure have formulated a mineral-based sunscreen which unexpectedly exhibit high SPF and high emulsion structural stability in the presence of high amounts of mineral-based sunscreens that also confer good aesthetics. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0007] The instant disclosure provides a sunscreen composition that includes mineral UV filtering agents, which are known to be non-irritating, natural, and gentle to the skin, together with oil based acrylate thickeners and nonionic surfactants that confers stable sun protection and emulsion structural stability in the presence of high amounts of mineral UV filters. The sunscreen composition overcomes challenges known in the art wherein high levels of mineral UV filters have been shown to be unstable, as further described herein. The sunscreen composition may optionally include organic UV filters. [0008] In various embodiments, the sunscreen composition includes nonionic surfactants that are selected from polyethylene glycol ethers of fatty acids or polyethylene glycol esters of fatty acids to provide a composition that unexpectedly can be stably prepared at commercial scale and demonstrates SPF and emulsion structural stability that exceeds what has been observed with similar compositions that include mineral sun filters and lipophilic acrylate-based oil thickeners without the selected surfactants.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DISCLOSURE [27] Where the following terms are used in this specification, they are used as defined below. [28] The term “active material” as used herein with respect to the percent amount of an ingredient or raw material, refers to 100% activity of the ingredient or raw material, unless otherwise specified. [29] The terms "aqueous phase" and “water phase” mean water, water soluble, water miscible and water dispersible ingredients, and represents the sum total of all ingredients in the composition which are water-soluble or water-dispersible, and which are combined together with water during the preparation of the example emulsion compositions. [30] “Cosmetically acceptable” means that the item in question is compatible with a keratinous substrate such as skin and hair. For example, a “cosmetically acceptable carrier” means a carrier that is compatible with a keratinous substrate such as skin and hair. [31] The term “Homogenous” means in reference to the composition as having the visual appearance of being substantially uniform throughout, i.e., visually lacks separation and pooling of fluid. [32] The term “keratinous tissue" includes, but is not limited to, skin, hair, and nails. [33] The term "mineral UV filtering agent" is interchangeable with the terms “mineral UV screening agent,” “inorganic UV filtering agent,” “inorganic UV screening agent,” “mineral UV filter, and “inorganic UV filter.” Mineral UV filtering agents are compounds that do not include any carbon atoms in their chemical structures that are capable of screening out, scattering, or absorbing UV radiation between 280 and 400 nm. [34] The term “oil thickening” means any raw material which when combined with the oil phase of the emulsion results in a thickening action on said oil phase. [35] The term "polymers," as defined herein, include homopolymers and copolymers formed from at least two different types of monomers. [36] The term “processibility” refers to the demonstrated suitability of the sunscreen composition to be produced at commercial scale characterized by a production volume of at least 15 kilograms wherein the sunscreen composition maintains emulsion structural stability as defined herein to provide a generally homogenous, usable formula, that maintains emulsion structural stability. [37] 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 sunscreen composition. [38] The term “emulsion structural stability” refers to the oil-in-water emulsion structural stability and means that the sunscreen composition exhibits an initially good aesthetic appearance, including lack of a grainy texture, lack of crystal formation, maintains consistent microscopic structure, and does not demonstrate visually perceptible separation of phases, appreciable pooling of fluid, or droplet formation. In addition, the sunscreen composition retains emulsion structural stability as described above, and maintains consistent color, odor, and viscosity during extended storage including storage up to 12 weeks, in particular after exposure to an ambient temperature from as low as about 25 °C up to about 45 °C. For example, a sunscreen composition is considered to demonstrate stability of the emulsion structural if the sunscreen composition does not exhibit signs of phase separation, and/or become inhomogeneous after up to 12 weeks in an ambient temperature in the range from about 25 °C up to and including about 45 °C. [39] The term “substantially free” or “essentially free” as used herein means that there is less than about 2% by weight of a specific material added to a composition, based on the total weight of the compositions. Nonetheless, the compositions may include less than about 1 wt.%, less than about 0.5 wt.%, less than about 0.1 wt.%, less than 0.01 wt.%, or none of the specified material. [40] The term "sun protection factor" or “SPF” is a value expressed mathematically by the ratio of the irradiation time necessary to attain the erythemogenic threshold with the UV screening agent to the time necessary to attain the erythemogenic threshold without UV screening agent. SPF generally provides information about the skin's resistance to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation from the sun. The SPF rating system has been developed to provide consumer guidance in selecting sunscreens. The sunscreen composition according to the present disclosure can be formulated to achieve a variety of different SPFs. For example, the sunscreen composition can have an in vivo SPF of at least 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, or 55 or higher (or in a range between any of these values). As demonstrated herein, in some embodiments, the sunscreen composition has an SPF that is at least 50 or greater, measured as defined by FDA 2011 SPF testing method and/or on a tested subject. [41] The term “water-in-oil emulsion” or "W/O emulsion" includes a water phase dispersed in an oil phase, where the oil phase is a continuous phase. [42] The instant disclosure relates to a sunscreen composition and embodiments thereof which provide a high degree of sun protection and emulsion structural stability and processability, the sunscreen composition comprising mineral UV filters with or without non- mineral UV filters and oil-based acrylate thickeners, and nonionic surfactants selected from polyethylene glycol ethers of fatty acids and polyethylene glycol esters of fatty acids in an oil-in- water emulsion form. [43] It is known in the art that stable performing sunscreen compositions can be provided that include lipophilic acrylate-based oil thickener and non-mineral UV filters, however, the inventors have shown that upon addition of mineral UV filters, the compositions failed to result in stable, performing compositions particularly when high levels of mineral UV filters were incorporated. [44] The inventors have provided a composition that unexpectedly provides for a stable, processible, high SPF sunscreen composition which comprise mineral UV filters with or without non-mineral UV filters using oil-based acrylate thickeners and nonionic surfactants selected from polyethylene glycol ethers of fatty acids and polyethylene glycol esters of fatty acids. [45] As exemplified herein below, the inventors have shown that the sunscreen composition which comprises mineral UV filters with or without non-mineral UV filters and oil- based acrylate thickeners that are otherwise unstable and/or have lower sun protection can be rendered stable and processible at commercial production volumes by incorporating nonionic surfactants selected from polyethylene glycol ethers of fatty acids and polyethylene glycol esters of fatty acids. The sunscreen composition demonstrates processibility that is in contrast to compositions that include the same content of mineral and organic UV filters as the sunscreen composition but do not include an nonionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of polyethylene glycol ethers, polyethylene glycol esters of fatty acids, and combinations thereof. As shown in the examples herein, such compositions that include mineral based UV filters are not processible at or over production volume of about 15 kilograms or greater. [46] Lipophilic Acrylate-Based Oil Thickener [47] In various embodiments, the sunscreen composition comprises at least one lipophilic acrylate-based oil thickener. According to one more particular embodiment of the present disclosure, the at least one lipophilic acrylate-based oil thickener is derived from a monomer containing a crystallizable chain chosen from saturated C14 to C22 alkyl (meth)acrylates and even more particularly poly(stearyl acrylate) or poly(behenyl acrylate). [48] As particular examples of a lipophilic acrylate-based oil thickener that may be used in the sunscreen composition according to the present disclosure, mention may be made of polymers having the INCI name "Poly C10-C30 alkyl acrylate", for instance the Intelimer (TM) products from the company Air Products, for instance the product Intelimer H4. Other examples include the product Intelimer (TM) IPA 13-1, or the product Intelimer (TM) IPA 13-6. More generally, the lipophilic acrylate-based oil thickener may be a polymer as disclosed according to US Patent Application Publication number US20070264204, which discloses a broad range of functionalized side chain crystalline (SCC) polymers can be used to thicken oils, provided that the SCC polymer will dissolve in the oil at a temperature above the crystalline melting point of the polymer (referred to herein as Tp) and can crystallize when the solution of the polymer in the oil is cooled to a temperature which is below Tp and at which the thickened oil composition is to be used. [49] In some particular embodiments, the at least one lipophilic acrylate-based oil thickener comprises C12-22 alkyl acrylate/hydroxyethylacrylate copolymer. [50] Each one of the at least one lipophilic acrylate-based oil thickener is present in the sunscreen composition at a concentration from about 0.5% to about 5%, in some embodiments from about 0.75% to 3%, and in some embodiments from about 1% to 2% by weight, all weights based on the total weight of the sunscreen composition. Thus, in various embodiments, a lipophilic acrylate-based oil thickener is present in the sunscreen composition in a weight percent amount from 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, to 5.0 percent by weight, including increments there between. [51] Nonionic Surfactant [52] In various embodiments, the sunscreen composition comprises at least one nonionic surfactant chosen from polyethylene glycol ethers of fatty acids, polyethylene glycol esters of fatty acids, or combinations thereof. [0028] In some embodiments, the at least one nonionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of polyethylene glycol ethers, polyethylene glycol esters of fatty acids comprises steareth-2, steareth-20, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the at least one nonionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of polyethylene glycol ethers, polyethylene glycol esters of fatty acids comprises steareth-2 and steareth-20.

[59] Inorganic/Mineral UV Filters [60] In various embodiments, the sunscreen composition comprises one or a combination of inorganic UV filters. The inorganic UV filter used for the present disclosure may be active in the UV-A and/or UV-B region. The inorganic UV filter may be hydrophilic and/or lipophilic. The inorganic UV filter is, in some embodiments, insoluble in solvents, such as water, and ethanol commonly used in cosmetics. [61] The inorganic UV filter be in the form of a fine particle such that the mean (primary) particle diameter thereof ranges from 1 nm to 50 nm, and in some embodiments 5 nm to 40 nm, and in some embodiments 10 nm to 30 nm. The mean (primary) particle size or mean (primary) particle diameter herein is an arithmetic mean diameter. In some embodiments, a particle may have a diameter that is has a mean particle size that is about or less than about 1 micron, or that is about or less than about 200 nm, or that is about or less than about 100 nm (sometimes referred to nanoscale). It will be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art that a particle that is referred to as nano scale for purposes of cosmetic applications including for the sunscreen composition according to this disclosure will have a mean particle size that is less than about 100 nm unless specifically identified otherwise, for example as in the case of nano zinc oxide which is sometimes referred to as nanoscale though the UV agent has a mean primary particle size that is less than 200 nm. [62] The inorganic UV filter can be selected from the group consisting of silicon carbide, metal oxides, which may or may not be coated, and mixtures thereof. And in some embodiments, the inorganic UV filters are selected from pigments formed of metal oxides, such as, for example, pigments formed of titanium oxide (amorphous or crystalline in the rutile and/or anatase form), iron oxide, zinc oxide, zirconium oxide, or cerium oxide, which are all UV photoprotective agents that are well known per se. [63] The inorganic UV filter may or may not be coated. The inorganic UV filter may have one or more coating. The coating may comprise one or more compound selected from the group consisting of alumina, silica, aluminum hydroxide, silicones, silanes, fatty acids, or salts thereof (such as sodium, potassium, zinc, iron, or aluminum salts), fatty alcohols, lecithin, amino acids, polysaccharides, proteins, alkanolamines, waxes, such as beeswax, (meth)acrylic polymers, organic UV filters, and (per)fluoro compounds. It is in some embodiments desirable for the coating to include one or a combination of organic UV filter. [64] Of course, the inorganic UV filter made of metal oxides may, before their treatment with silicones, have been treated with other surfacing agents, in particular, with cerium oxide, alumina, silica, aluminum compounds, silicon compounds, or their mixtures. The coated inorganic UV filter may have been prepared by subjecting the inorganic UV filter to one or more surface treatments of a chemical, electronic, mechano-chemical, and/or mechanical nature with any of the compounds as described above, as well as polyethylenes, metal alkoxides (titanium or aluminum alkoxides), metal oxides, sodium hexametaphosphate, and those shown, for example, in Cosmetics & Toiletries, February 1990, Vol.105, pp.53-64.

[135] The instant disclosure also relates to methods for protecting skin from UV radiation comprising applying an effective amount of the sunscreen composition of claim 1 to the skin. Examples [136] The following Examples are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be limiting. [137] EXAMPLE 1: Raw Materials [138] Selected raw materials as used in the sunscreen composition are identified in the table below. [139] Table 1: Representative Raw Materials
Figure imgf000034_0001
[141] EXAMPLE 2: Inventive and Base Compositions [142] A plant-scalable sunscreen composition according to the disclosure was prepared and which has demonstrated physical and chemical properties as described herein below. The inventive composition was evaluated by an FDA Method in vivo SPF characterization, achieving a value of 50 or higher, as described herein below. [143] Table 2: Inventive Example
Figure imgf000035_0001
[144] Poly C10-30 poly acrylate: Intelimer (TM) products from the company Air Products. [145] Table 3: Base Composition
Figure imgf000035_0002
[146] The foregoing Base composition was used to provide each of Comparative Compositions #1, #2 and #3, wherein: [147] Comparative #1 further included: ethylhexyl salicylate (octyl salicylate), 5% octocrylene sun filter, 5% homosalate sun filter, 8% [148] Comparative #2 further included: ethylhexyl salicylate (octyl salicylate), 5% octocrylene sun filter, 5% homosalate sun filter, 8% zinc oxide (and) triethoxycaprylylsilane, ~7% [149] Comparative #3 further included: ethylhexyl salicylate (octyl salicylate), 5% octocrylene sun filter, 5% homosalate sun filter, 8% zinc oxide (and) triethoxycaprylylsilane, ~7% glyceryl stearate citrate, 1% [150] EXAMPLE 3: Emulsion structural stability and Processibility Testing of Inventive and Comparative Compositions [151] A panel of compositions were tested for SPF and emulsion structural stability and processability. The results are shown in Table 3, below. [152] Table 3:
Figure imgf000036_0001
Figure imgf000037_0001
[153] According to the data collected for the inventive and comparative examples, it is apparent that the base composition with only organic UV filters provides stability, processability and demonstrates a high SPF, but, upon addition of ZnO the processability and SPF were lost. Further, upon addition of an anionic emulsifier the stability was also lost. The inventive composition demonstrates that both inorganic and organic UV filters can be present in an amount that is about 25% of the sunscreen composition, by weight, to provide a high SPF composition that demonstrates long term stability (12 weeks) and permits scaled processing. [154] EXAMPLE 4: Emulsion structural stability and Processibility Testing of Inventive and Comparative Compositions [155] An inventive and a comparative composition were tested using only inorganic UV filters (no organic UV actives). The inventive formula was prepared using C12-15 Alkyl Acrylate/Hydroxyethylacrylate copolymer and the comparative formula was prepared without the polymer and with an increased concentration of emulsifiers. The results are shown in Table 4, below. [156] Table 4:
Figure imgf000037_0002
Figure imgf000038_0001
[157] The comparison demonstrates that independent of the presence of organic UV filters, the sunscreen composition according to the invention provides a high SPF composition that demonstrates long term stability (12 weeks) and permits scaled processing. [158] While the disclosure has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made, and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the scope of the disclosure. In addition, many modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation or material to the teachings of the disclosure without departing from the essential scope thereof. Therefore, it is intended that the disclosure is not limited to the particular embodiment disclosed as the best mode contemplated for carrying out this disclosure, but that the disclosure will include all embodiments falling within the scope of the appended claims. [159] The compositions and methods of the present disclosure can comprise, consist of, or consist essentially of the essential elements and limitations of the disclosure described herein, as well as any additional or optional ingredients, components, or limitations described herein or otherwise useful. The terms “comprising,” “having,” and “including” are used in their open, non-limiting sense. The expression "inclusive" for a range of concentrations means that the limits of the range are included in the defined interval. [160] Other than in the operating examples, or where otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities of ingredients and/or reaction conditions are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term “about,” meaning within +/- 5% of the indicated number. [161] All percentages, parts and ratios herein are based upon the total weight of the compositions of the present disclosure, unless otherwise indicated. [162] All ranges and values disclosed herein are inclusive and combinable. For examples, any value or point described herein that falls within a range described herein can serve as a minimum or maximum value to derive a sub-range, etc. Furthermore, all ranges provided are meant to include every specific range within, and combination of sub ranges between, the given ranges. Thus, a range from 1-5, includes specifically 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, as well as sub ranges such as 2-5, 3-5, 2-3, 2-4, 1-4, etc. [163] As used herein, the expression “at least one” is interchangeable with the expression “one or more” and thus includes individual components as well as mixtures/combinations. The terms “a” and “the” are understood to encompass the plural as well as the singular. [164] The term, “a mixture thereof” does not require that the mixture include all of A, B, C, D, E, and F (although all of A, B, C, D, E, and F may be included). Rather, it indicates that a mixture of any two or more of A, B, C, D, E, and F can be included. In other words, it is equivalent to the phrase “one or more elements selected from the group consisting of A, B, C, D, E, F, and a mixture of any two or more of A, B, C, D, E, and F.” [165] The phrase “viscosity” refers to the thickness of a fluid or composition and is a measurement of a fluid or composition’s resistance to flow. Herein, “viscosity” is synonymous to “dynamic viscosity” or “absolute viscosity”, rather than “kinematic viscosity”, and is measured by means of a rheometer in a method which is known to those skilled-in-the-art. Measurements of viscosity herein are reported in pascal-seconds (Pa·s) unless otherwise specified. [166] The term “INCI” is an abbreviation of International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients, which is a system of names provided by the International Nomenclature Committee of the Personal Care Products Council to describe personal care ingredients. [167] The term “weight ratio” or “mass ratio” as used herein, references the amount of a substance in proportion to a mixture containing said substance, and is calculated by dividing the amount of said substance by weight contained in the mixture by the weight of the mixture containing said substance. As an example, a weight ratio of 0.4 for substance A in a mixture of A, B, and C indicates that the weight of substance A divided by the total weight of substances A, B, and C is 0.4. [168] All publications and patent applications cited in this specification are herein incorporated by reference, and for any and all purposes, as if each individual publication or patent application were specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference. In the event of an inconsistency between the present disclosure and any publications or patent application incorporated herein by reference, the present disclosure controls.
