## Background
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This is a continuation application of PCT/EP02/09310, filed Aug. 21, 2002, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and also claims the benefit of German Priority Application No. 101 41 475.7, filed Aug. 29, 2001.


FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to substance combinations for stabilizing oxidation-sensitive and/or UV-sensitive active ingredients, and to cosmetic and dermatological formulations with oxidation-sensitive and/or UV-sensitive active ingredients stabilized in this way. In particular, it relates to cosmetic and dermatological photoprotective formulations and formulations with UV-sensitive photoprotective filter substances which are stabilized through the use of these substance combinations.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The harmful effects of the ultraviolet part of solar radiation on the skin are generally known. The rays have different effects on the skin organ depending on their particular wavelength: so-called UV-C radiation with a wavelength below 290 nm is absorbed by the ozone layer in the earth's atmosphere and therefore is of no physiological importance. By contrast, rays in the range between 290 nm and 320 nm, the so-called UV-B region, cause erythema, simple sunburn or even burns of greater or lesser severity. A maximum for the erythema activity of sunlight is stated as being the relatively narrow range around 308 nm.
Numerous compounds are known for protecting against UV-B radiation, examples thereof being derivatives of 3-benzylidenecamphor, of 4-aminobenzoic acid, of cinnamic acid, of salicylic acid, of benzophenone, and of triazine.
It has long been incorrectly assumed that the long-wave UV-A radiation with a wavelength between 320 nm and 400 nm has only a negligible biological effect. However, it has now been proven by numerous studies that UV-A radiation is far more hazardous than UV-B radiation with regard to the triggering of photodynamic, specifically phototoxic, reactions and chronic changes in the skin. The harmful effect of UV-B radiation can also be further intensified by UV-A radiation.
Thus, it has been proven, inter alia, that even UV-A radiation under entirely normal everyday conditions is sufficient to damage within a short time the collagen and elastin fibers which are of essential importance for the structure and firmness of the skin. This results in chronic photoinduced changes in the skin—the skin “ages” prematurely. The clinical appearance of skin aged by light includes, for example, wrinkles and lines and an irregular, furrowed relief. In addition, the areas affected by photoinduced skin aging may have irregular pigmentation. The formation of brown spots, keratoses and even carcinomas or malignant melanomas is also possible. Skin aged prematurely by everyday exposure to UV is additionally characterized by a lower activity of the Langerhans cells and a slight chronic inflammation.
Approximately 90% of the ultraviolet radiation which reaches the earth consists of UV-A rays. Whereas UV-B radiation varies greatly depending on numerous factors (for example time of year and time of day or latitude), UV-A radiation remains relatively constant from day to day irrespective of seasonal and diurnal or geographic factors. At the same time, most of the UV-A radiation penetrates into the living epidermis, while about 70% of the UV-B rays are retained by the horny layer.
It is therefore of fundamental importance that cosmetic and dermatological photoprotective preparations provide adequate protection both against UV-B and against UV-A radiation.
In general, the light absorption behavior of photoprotective filter substances is very well known and documented, especially since most industrialized countries have positive lists for the use of such substances, which impose very strict standards on the documentation.
However, the concentration in which known photoprotective filter substances present as solids are used is often restricted—in particular in combination with other substances which are to be dissolved. There are thus certain technical difficulties with regard to formulating in achieving relatively high sun protection factors and UV-A protection performance.
Advantageous UV-A filter substances are e.g. dibenzoylmethane derivatives, in particular 4-(tert-butyl)-4′-methoxydibenzoylmethane (CAS No. 70356-09-1), which is sold by Givaudan under the name Parsol® 1789 and by Merck under the trade name Eusolex® 9020.
The main disadvantage of all dibenzoylmethane derivatives which absorb in the UV region is a certain instability toward UV radiation, meaning that these components are decomposed under the influence of UV to give inactive products and are no longer available for UV absorption. Preparations of the prior art with a content of these substances therefore expediently also comprise certain UV stabilizers such as, for example, ethylhexyl 2-cyano-3,3-diphenylacrylate (octocrylene) or 4-methylbenzylidene-camphor.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention was to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art and to arrive in a simple manner at preparations which are distinguished by a high UV, in particular UV-A, protection performance and in which the use of customary UV stabilizers can be dispensed with.
The prior art also recognizes a series of different efficient, lipophilic skincare active ingredients—such as, for example, ubiquinones, retinoids and carotenoids—which contain unsaturated, aromatic or benzoidal structural elements, the use of which in cosmetic or dermatological formulations, in particular in formulations of the oil-in-water type, is very desirable. Unfortunately, however, substances of this kind are often very unstable meaning that, particularly if exposed to UV radiation, they rapidly decompose and thereby lose their effectiveness.
It was therefore a further object of the present invention to increase the stability of oxidation-sensitive and/or UV-sensitive active ingredients, and to provide stable preparations with oxidation-sensitive and/or UV-sensitive active ingredients whose effectiveness is retained over a long period.
It was surprising and could not have been foreseen by the person skilled in the art that cosmetic and dermatological formulations containing at least one oxidation- and/or UV-sensitive active ingredient, which comprise

    
    
        (a)at least one dialkyl naphthalate which is distinguished by the structural formula
    
    






    
    
         in which R1 and R2, independently of one another, are chosen from the group of branched and unbranched alkyl groups having 6 to 24 carbon atoms, and
        (b)at least one lipid with a polarity of at most 30 mN/m overcome the disadvantages of the prior art.
    
    


If the oxidation- and/or UV-sensitive active ingredient(s) are present in a formulation according to the invention, then they are protected in an excellent manner against the decomposition induced by UV radiation. This is true in particular for dibenzoylmethane derivatives.
The invention therefore also provides for the use of substance combinations which comprise

    
    
        (a)at least one dialkyl naphthalate which is characterized by the structural formula
    
    






    
    
         in which R1 and R2, independently of one another, are chosen from the group of branched and unbranched alkyl groups having 6 to 24 carbon atoms, and
        (b)at least one lipid with a polarity of at most 30 mN/m for stabilizing cosmetic or dermatological active ingredients against decomposition induced by UV radiation.
    
    




DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
As well as one or more oil phases, the preparations within the meaning of the present invention may preferably additionally comprise one or more water phases and be present, for example, in the form of W/O, O/W, W/O/W or O/W/O emulsions. Such formulations may preferably also be a microemulsion, a PIT emulsion, a solids emulsions (i.e. an emulsion which is stabilized by solids, e.g. a Pickering emulsion), a sprayable emulsion or a hydrodispersion.
The preparations according to the invention are entirely satisfactory preparations in every respect which are not restricted to the limited choice of raw materials. Accordingly, they are very particularly suitable for use as bases for preparation forms with diverse application purposes. The preparations according to the invention exhibit very good sensory and cosmetic properties, such as, for example, extensibility on the skin or the ability to absorb into the skin, and are further distinguished by very good photoprotection effectiveness coupled with excellent skincare data.
It was particularly surprising that with the use according to the present invention it is possible to dispense entirely with the use of further UV stabilizers, in particular with the use of ethylhexyl 2-cyano-3,3-diphenylacrylate (octocrylene) or 4-methylbenzylidenecamphor.
In addition, the use according to the invention surprisingly allows the stability of lipophilic active ingredients in cosmetic or dermatological formulations (O/W formulations) to be considerably increased compared with the prior art.
The invention thus also provides for the use of substance combinations which comprise

    
    
        (a)at least one dialkyl naphthalate which is characterized by the structural formula
    
    






    
    
         in which R1 and R2, independently of one another, are chosen from the group of branched and unbranched alkyl groups having 6 to 24 carbon atoms,
         and
        (b)at least one lipid with a polarity of at most 30 mN/m for improving the effectiveness and increasing the stability of lipophilic active ingredients in cosmetic or dermatological preparations.
    
    


Advantageous lipophilic active ingredients which are stabilized in an excellent manner by the use according to the invention are those whose log P value is greater than 3.5. P is the partition coefficient, which is defined as the ratio of the equilibrium concentration of a dissolved substance in a two-phase system which consists of two solvents which are essentially immiscible with one another. These two solvents are, in the present case, n-octanol and water, i.e.

It is advantageous for the purposes of the present invention to choose the lipophilic active ingredient(s) from the group of ubiquinones and plastoquinones. For the purposes of the present invention, coenzyme Q10, which has a log P value of about 15, is very particularly advantageous.
Further lipophilic active ingredients which are advantageous according to the invention are retinoids (vitamin A acid and/or derivatives thereof) or vitamin A and/or derivatives thereof. The group of retinoids advantageous according to the invention is defined as including all cosmetically and/or pharmaceutically acceptable retinoids, including retinol and its esters, retinal and also retinoic acid (vitamin A acid) and esters thereof. For the purposes of the present invention, retinol (with a log P value of about 7) and retinyl palmitate (with a log P value of about 13) are particularly advantageous.
Further lipophilic acid ingredients advantageous according to the invention are carotenoids. For the purposes of the present invention, β-carotene, which has a log P value of 15, for example, is particularly advantageous.
Further lipophilic active ingredients advantageous according to the invention are:

    
    
        lipoic acid and derivatives,
        vitamin E and derivatives,
        vitamin F,
        dioic acid [8-hexadecene-1,16-dicarboxylic acid (CAS number 20701-68-2)]
    
    


The amount of lipophilic active ingredients (one or more compounds) in the preparations is preferably 0.0001 to 10% by weight, particularly preferably 0.001 to 5% by weight, based on the total weight of the preparation.
Advantageous for the purposes of the present invention are dialkyl naphthalates in which R1 and/or R2 are branched alkyl groups having 6 to 10 carbon atoms. Very particular preference for the purposes of the present invention is given to diethylhexyl naphthalate, which is obtainable, for example, under the trade name Hallbrite TQTM from CP Hall or Corapan TQTM from H&R.
According to the invention, cosmetic or dermatological preparations advantageously comprise 0.001 to 30% by weight, preferably 0.01 to 20% by weight, very particularly preferably 0.5 to 15% by weight, of one or more dialkyl naphthalates.
The oil phase(s) of the preparations according to the invention is/are advantageously chosen from the group of polar lipids with a polarity of ≦30 mN/m. The lipid or lipids according to the invention are particularly advantageously chosen from the group of lipids with a polarity of from 5 to 25 mN/m.
Particularly advantageous lipids for the purposes of the present invention are all native lipids, such as e.g. olive oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, groundnut oil, rapeseed oil, almond oil, palm oil, coconut oil, castor oil, wheatgerm oil, grapeseed oil, thistle oil, evening primrose oil, macadamia nut oil, corn oil, avocado oil, and the like, and those listed below.

The oil phase can advantageously also have a content of cyclic or linear silicone oils or consist entirely of such oils, although it is preferred to use an additional content of other oil phase components apart from the silicone oil or the silicone oils.
Silicone oils are high molecular weight synthetic polymeric compounds in which silicon atoms are linked in a chain-like and/or network-like manner via oxygen atoms, and the remaining valences of the silicon are saturated by hydrocarbon radicals (in most cases methyl, less often ethyl, propyl, phenyl groups etc.). Systematically, the silicone oils are referred to as polyorganosiloxanes. The methyl-substituted polyorganosiloxanes which represent the most significant compounds of this group in terms of number are characterized by the following structural formula




are also referred to as polydimethylsiloxane or Dimethicone (INCI). There are dimethicones with various chain lengths and with various molecular weights.

For the purposes of the present invention, particularly advantageous polyorganosiloxanes are, for example, dimethylpolysiloxanes [poly(dimethylsiloxane)], which are available, for example, under the trade names Abil 10 to 10 000 from Th. Goldschmidt. Also advantageous are phenylmethylpolysiloxanes (INCI: Phenyl Dimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone), cyclic silicones (octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane or decamethylcyclopentasiloxane), which are also referred to as Cyclomethicones in accordance with INCI, amino-modified silicones (INCI: Amodimethicone) and silicone waxes, e.g. polysiloxane-polyalkylene copolymers (INCI: Stearyl Dimethicone and Cetyl Dimethicone) and dialkoxydimethylpolysiloxanes (Stearoxy Dimethicone and Behenoxy Stearyl Dimethicone), which are available as various Abil wax grades from Th. Goldschmidt. Other silicone oils can, however, also be used advantageously for the purposes of the present invention, for example cetyldimethicone, hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane, polydimethylsiloxane, poly(methylphenylsiloxane).
The cosmetic or dermatological photoprotection formulations according to the invention can have the customary composition and be used for cosmetic or dermatological photoprotection, in addition for the treatment, care and cleansing of the skin and/or of the hair and as a make-up product in decorative cosmetics.
Depending on their formulation, cosmetic or topical dermatological compositions for the purposes of the present invention may be used, for example, as skin protection cream, cleansing milk, day or night cream etc. It is in some cases possible and advantageous to use the compositions according to the invention as a basis for pharmaceutical formulations.
For use, the cosmetic and dermatological preparations are applied to the skin and/or the hair in a sufficient amount in the manner customary for cosmetics.
The cosmetic and dermatological preparations according to the invention can comprise cosmetic auxiliaries as are customarily used in such preparations, e.g. preservatives, preservation helpers, bactericides, perfumes, substances to prevent foaming, dyes, pigments which have a coloring action, thickeners, moisturizing and/or humectant substances, fillers which improve the feel of the skin, fats, oils, waxes or other customary constituents of a cosmetic or dermatological formulation, such as alcohols, polyols, polymers, foam stabilizers, electrolytes, organic solvents or silicone derivatives.
Advantageous preservatives for the purposes of the present invention are, for example, formaldehyde donors (such as e.g. DMDM hydantoin, which is available, for example, under the trade name GlydantTM from Lonza), iodopropyl butylcarbamates (e.g. those available under the trade names Glycacil-L, Glycacil-S from Lonza, and/or Dekaben LMB from Jan Dekker), parabens (i.e. p-hydroxybenzoic-alkyl esters, such as methyl, ethyl-, propyl- and/or butylparaben), phenoxyethanol, ethanol, benzoic acid and the like. According to the invention, the preservative system usually also advantageously includes preservation helpers, such as, for example, octoxyglycerol, glycine soya etc. as well.
Particularly advantageous preparations are also obtained when antioxidants are used as additives or active ingredients. According to the invention, the preparations advantageously comprise one or more antioxidants. Favorable, but nevertheless optional antioxidants which may be used are all antioxidants customary or suitable for cosmetic and/or dermatological applications.
For the purposes of the present invention, it may be particularly advantageous to use water-soluble antioxidants, such as, for example, vitamins, e.g. ascorbic acid and derivatives thereof, and D-biotin, natural and/or synthetic isoflavonoids, alpha-glucosylrutin, panthenol, aloe vera.
The amount of antioxidants (one or more compounds) in the preparations is preferably 0.001 to 30% by weight, particularly preferably 0.05 to 20% by weight, in particular 0.1 to 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the preparation.
It is particularly advantageous when the cosmetic preparations according to the present invention comprise cosmetic or dermatological active ingredients, preferred active ingredients being antioxidants which can protect the skin against oxidative stress.
Advantageous further active ingredients are natural active ingredients and/or derivatives thereof, such as e.g. phytoene, carnitine, carnosine, creatine, taurine and/or β-alanine.
Formulations according to the invention, which comprise e.g. known antiwrinkle active ingredients, such as flavone glycosides (in particular α-glycosylrutin), coenzyme Q10, vitamin E and/or derivatives and the like, are particularly advantageously suitable for the prophylaxis and treatment of cosmetic or dermatological changes in skin, as arise, for example, during skin aging (such as, for example, dryness, roughness and formation of dryness wrinkles, itching, reduced refatting (e.g. after washing), visible vascular dilations (teleangiectases, couperosis), flaccidity and formation of wrinkles and lines, local hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation and abnormal pigmentation (e.g. age spots), increased susceptibility to mechanical stress (e.g. cracking) and the like). In addition, they are advantageously suitable against the appearance of dry or rough skin.
The water phase of the preparations according to the invention can advantageously comprise customary cosmetic auxiliaries, such as, for example, alcohols, in particular those of low carbon number, preferably ethanol and/or isopropanol, diols or polyols of low carbon number, and ethers thereof, preferably propylene glycol, glycerol, ethylene glycol, ethylene glycol monoethyl or monobutyl ether, propylene glycol monomethyl, monoethyl or monobutyl ether, diethylene glycol monomethyl or monoethyl ether and analogous products, polymers, foam stabilizers, electrolytes, and in particular one or more thickeners which may advantageously be chosen from the group consisting of silicon dioxide, aluminum silicates, polysaccharides or derivatives thereof, e.g. hyaluronic acid, xanthan gum, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, particularly advantageously from the group of polyacrylates, preferably a polyacrylate from the group of so-called carbopols, for example Carbopol 980, 981, 1382, 2984, 5984, in each case individually or in combination. Moisturizers can also preferably be used.
Also advantageous are copolymers of C10-30-alkyl acrylates and one or more monomers of acrylic acid, of methacrylic acid or esters thereof which are crosslinked with an allyl ether of sucrose or an allyl ether of pentaerythritol.
Compounds which bear the INCI name “Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer” are advantageous. Those availabe under the trade names Pemulen TR1 and Pemulen TR2 from B. F. Goodrich Company are particularly advantageous.
Compounds which bear the INCI name Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Vinylpyrrolidone copolymers are advantageous.
According to the invention, the Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate-/Vinylpyrrolidone copolymers advantageously have the empirical formula [C7H16N2SO4]n [C6H9NO]m, corresponding to a statistical structure as follows




Preferred species for the purposes of the present invention are listed in Chemical Abstracts under the Registry numbers 58374-69-9, 13162-05-5 and 88-12-0 and are available under the trade name Aristoflex® AVC from Clariant GmbH.
Also advantageous are copolymers/crosspolymers comprising Acryloyldimethyl Taurate, such as, for example, Simugel® EG or Simugel® EG from Seppic S.A.
Moisturizers is the term used for substances or mixtures of substances which, following application or distribution on the surface of the skin, confer on cosmetic or dermatological preparations the property of reducing the moisture loss by the horny layer (also called transepidermal water loss (TEWL)) and/or have a positive influence on the hydration of the horny layer.
Advantageous moisturizers for the purposes of the present invention are, for example, glycerol, lactic acid and/or lactates, in particular sodium lactate, butylene glycol, propylene glycol, biosaccharide gum-1, glycine soya, ethylhexyloxyglycerol, pyrrolidonecarboxylic acid and urea. In addition, it is particularly advantageous to use polymeric moisturizers from the group of water-soluble and/or water-swellable and/or water-gellable polysaccharides. Particularly advantageous are, for example, hyaluronic acid, chitosan and/or a fucose rich polysaccharide which is listed in Chemical Abstracts under the Registry number 178463-23-5 and is available, for example, under the name Fucogel®1000 from SOLABIA S.A.
The cosmetic or dermatological preparations according to the invention can also advantageously, but not necessarily, comprise fillers which, for example, further improve the sensory and cosmetic properties of the formulations and, for example, bring about or intensify a velvety or silky feel on the skin. Advantageous fillers for the purposes of the present invention are starch and starch derivatives (such as tapioca starch, distarch phosphate, aluminum or sodium starch octenylsuccinate and the like), pigments which primarily have neither a UV filter effect nor a coloring effect (such as e.g. boron nitride etc.) and/or Aerosils® (CAS No. 7631-86-9).
For the purposes of the present invention, it is also advantageous to create cosmetic and dermatological preparations whose main purpose is not protection against sunlight, but which nevertheless contain a content of further UV protection substances. Thus, for example, UV-A and/or UV-B filter substances are usually incorporated into day creams or make-up products. UV protection substances, like antioxidants and, if desired, preservatives, also represent effective protection of the preparations themselves against decay. Also favorable are cosmetic and dermatological preparations which are in the form of a sunscreen composition.
Accordingly, the preparations within the meaning of the present invention preferably comprise at least one further UV-A, UV-B and/or broadband filter substance. The formulations may, but do not necessarily, optionally also comprise one or more organic and/or inorganic pigments as UV filter substances, which may be present in the water phase and/or the oil phase.
Preferred inorganic pigments are metal oxides and/or other metal compounds which are sparingly soluble or insoluble in water, in particular oxides of titanium (TiO2), zinc (ZnO), iron (e.g. Fe2O3), zirconium (ZrO2), silicon (SiO2), manganese (e.g. MnO), aluminum (Al2O3), cerium (e.g. Ce2O3), mixed oxides of the corresponding metals, and mixtures of such oxides, and the sulfate of barium (BaSO4).
The pigments can advantageously be used for the purposes of the present invention also in the form of commercially available oily or aqueous predispersions. Dispersion auxiliaries and/or solubility promoters may advantageously be added to these predispersions.
The pigments may, according to the invention, advantageously be surface-treated (“coated”), the intention being, for example, to form or retain a hydrophilic, amphiphilic or hydrophobic character. This surface treatment can consist in providing the pigments with a thin hydrophilic and/or hydrophobic inorganic and/or organic layer by methods known per se. The various surface coatings for the purposes of the present invention may also comprise water.
Inorganic surface coatings for the purposes of the present invention may consist of aluminum oxide (Al2O3), aluminum hydroxide Al(OH)3, or aluminum oxide hydrate (also: alumina, CAS No.: 1333-84-2), sodium hexametaphosphate (NaPO3)6, sodium metaphosphate (NaPO3)n, silicon dioxide (SiO2) (also: silica, CAS No.: 7631-86-9), or iron oxide (Fe2O3). These inorganic surface coatings may exist on their own, in combination and/or in combination with organic coating materials.
Organic surface coatings for the purposes of the present invention may consist of vegetable or animal aluminum stearate, vegetable or animal stearic acid, lauric acid, dimethylpolysiloxane, (also: dimethicone), methylpolysiloxane (methicone), simethicone (a mixture of dimethylpolysiloxane with an average chain length of from 200 to 350 dimethylsiloxane units and silicagel) or alginic acid. These organic surface coatings may exist on their own, in combination and/or in combination with inorganic coating materials.

Particularly advantageous preparations for the purposes of the present invention, which may be characterized by a high or very high UV-A protection, comprise, as well as the filter substance(s) according to the invention, preferably also further UV-A and/or broadband filters, in particular dibenzoylmethane derivatives [for example 4-(tert-butyl)-4′-methoxydibenzoylmethane] and/or 2,4-bis{[4-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-2-hydroxy]phenyl}-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine, in each case individually or in any combinations with one another.
The list of UV filters specified which can be used for the purposes of the present invention is not of course intended to be limiting.
Advantageously, the preparations according to the invention comprise the substances which absorb UV radiation in the UV-A and/or UV-B region in a total amount of e.g. 0.1% by weight to 30% by weight, preferably 0.5 to 20% by weight, in particular 1.0 to 15.0% by weight, in each case based on the total weight of the preparations, in order to provide cosmetic preparations which protect the hair and/or the skin from the entire range of ultraviolet radiation.
In addition, it may in some instances be advantageous to incorporate film formers into the cosmetic or dermatological preparations according to the invention, for example in order to improve the water resistance of the preparations or to increase the UV protection performance (UV-A and/or UV-B boosting). Water-soluble or dispersible and also fat-soluble film formers are suitable, in each case individually or in combination with one another.
Advantageus water-soluble or dispersible film formers are e.g. polyurethanes (e.g the Avalure® grades from Goodrich), dimethicone copolyol polyacrylate (Silsoft Surface® from Witco Organo Silicones Group), PVP/VA (VA=vinyl acetate) copolymer (Luviscol VA 64 Powder from BASF) etc.
Advantageous fat-soluble film formers are e.g. the film formers from the group of polymers based on polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)




Particular preference is given to copolymers of polyvinylpyrrolidone, for example the PVP hexadecene copolymer and the PVP eicosene copolymer, which are available under the trade names Antaron V216 and Antaron V220 from GAF Chemicals Cooperation and also tricontayl PVP and the like.
The examples below serve to illustrate the present invention without limiting it. The numerical values in the examples are percentages by weight, based on the total weight of the particular preparations.
