Title: Personal Care Composition

Description:
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 
     The present application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/771,852, filed Jun. 11, 2020 which is a national stage entry under 35 U.S.C. § 371 of PCT/US2017/065673, filed Dec. 12, 2017, the entireties of which are incorporated herein by reference. 
    
    
     BACKGROUND 
     Personal care compositions, such as antiperspirant or deodorant compositions and dual purpose antiperspirant-deodorant compositions, may be used to reduce body odor. For example, antiperspirant or deodorant compositions may be applied to axillary (underarm) regions to prevent or treat perspiration, limit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, or apply a fragrance. Further, because antiperspirant or deodorant compositions are applied to the skin, they often include ingredients that provide additional benefits to the skin, such as a reduction in skin irritation. 
     Collagen is the main structural protein for connective tissue and skin that contributes to skin elasticity and firmness. Without intending to be bound by theory, it is believed that collagen (types I, II, III, IV and V) is synthesized as precursor molecules called procollagens. The procollagens contain additional peptide sequences or “pro-peptides” at both the amino- and carboxy-terminal ends. The function of these pro-peptides is to facilitate the winding of the procollagen molecules into a triple-helical conformation (“triplex helix molecule”) within the endoplasmic reticulum. The pro-peptides are cleaved off from the procollagen triplex helix molecule during its secretion as they polymerize into extracellular collagen fibrils. Thus, it should be appreciated that the amount of free pro-peptides stoichiometrically reflects the amount of collagen molecules synthesized, and an increase in collagen production leads to improved skin elasticity and firmness. 
     Similarly, fibrillin is a glycoprotein which is essential for the formation of elastic fibers found in connective tissue and skin that contributes to skin elasticity and firmness. For example, Fibrillin-1 is a major component of microfibrils that form a sheath surrounding amorphous elastin. Elastin helps skin return to its original shape after it is poked or pinched. Thus, increases in fibrillin production also lead to improved skin elasticity and firmness. 
     Accordingly, there is a desire for personal care compositions formulated to provide improved skin benefits, and in particular, personal care composition that increase production of procollagen and fibrillin.

     With regard to procedures, methods, techniques, and workflows that are in accordance with some embodiments, some operations in the procedures, methods, techniques, and workflows disclosed herein may be combined and/or the order of some operations may be changed. 
     As skin ages, the production of collagen and elastin are slowed leading to the formation of wrinkles and the loss of skin elasticity. Enhancing the production of collages and elastin may help reduce the signs of skin aging. The inventors have surprisingly and unexpectedly discovered that mixtures of flaxseed oil (FSO) and taurine have synergistic effects on the production fibrillin and procollagen in skin. Accordingly, the present disclosure provides a personal care composition including synergistic combinations of flaxseed oil and taurine configured to enhanced the production of fibrillin and procollagen in skin. In certain embodiments, the personal care composition may be embodied as an antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition or as a dual antiperspirant-deodorant composition. In other embodiments, the personal care composition may be embodied as a skin lotion or body wash. 
     The antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition may be provided as a liquid or a gel. For example, the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition may be a liquid roll-on formulation. The liquid roll-on formulation may be contained in any roll-on dispenser that has an applicator (e.g., ball, roller, etc.) for applying the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition to surfaces of the skin. 
     In other embodiments, the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition may be a solid stick composition. The solid stick composition may be manufactured using conventional methods. For example, the ingredients of a solid stick antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition may be combined and heated to melt the components (other than inert fillers) into a molten mixture. Typically, volatile materials, such as fragrances, are incorporated after heating to avoid volatilization. The molten mixture may then be poured into dispensers, cooled into a solid stick, and capped to preserve the product until use. 
     The antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition of the present disclosure includes a synergistic combination of flaxseed oil (FSO) and taurine. In certain embodiments, the synergistic combination of flaxseed oil and taurine is configured to enhance the production of fibrillin and procollagen in skin on which the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition is applied. 
     The antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition may include from about 0.0001 weight % to about 0.15 weight % flaxseed oil, based on the total weight of the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition. For example, the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition may include flaxseed oil in an amount of from about 0.0001 weight % to about 0.10 weight %, from about 0.001 weight % to about 0.10 weight %, from about 0.01 weight % to about 0.10 weight %, from about 0.02 weight % to about 0.07 weight %, from about 0.04 weight % to about 0.10 weight %, or about 0.05 weight %, based on the total weight of the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition. In one embodiment, the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition includes about 0.05 weight % flaxseed oil. 
     Flaxseed oil may be characterized by the amount of alpha-linolenic acid it contains. For example, in one embodiment, the flaxseed oil of the present disclosure contains 50 weight % or more alpha-linolenic acid, based on the total weight of the flaxseed oil. 
     The antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition may include from about 0.001 weight % to about 5 weight % taurine, based on the total weight of the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition. For example, the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition may include from about 0.01 weight % to about 5 weight % taurine, from about 0.1 weight % to about 5 weight % taurine, from about 0.5 weight % to about 5 weight % taurine, from about 0.75 weight % to about 2.50 weight % taurine or from about 0.75 weight % to about 1.25 weight % taurine. In one embodiment, the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition includes about 1.0 weight % taurine. 
     In certain embodiments, the amount of flaxseed oil and taurine in the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition may be provided as a ratio. For example, the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition may include a 1:5 to 1:30 weight ratio flaxseed oil to taurine. In other examples, the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition may include a 1:10 to 1:30 weight ratio of flaxseed oil to taurine, 1:5 to 1:25 weight ratio of flaxseed oil to taurine, or 1:10 to 1:25 weight ratio of flaxseed oil to taurine. In one embodiment, the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition may include a 1:10 to 1:20 weight ratio of flaxseed oil to taurine. For example, the ratio of flaxseed oil to taurine in the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition may be 1:10, 1:15, 1:20, 1:25, or 1:30. In one embodiment, the ratio of flaxseed oil to taurine in the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition is about 1:20 flaxseed oil to taurine. 
     In addition to the combination of flaxseed oil and taurine, the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition may include additional components. For example, the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition may include antiperspirant and/or deodorant actives, carriers, and surfactants. The antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition may also include optional ingredients, such as emollients, fragrances, preservatives, antioxidants, colorants, and emulsifiers.

In other embodiments, the carrier may include other co-solvents which are miscible with water. However, in various preferred embodiments, the carrier consists only of water or consists essentially of water, such as a carrier that consists of at least 99% water. 
     In one embodiment, the amount of carrier in the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition is the amount to make a 100% by weight composition after all of the ingredients, including any optional ingredients, are added to the composition. For example, the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition may include at least 20 weight %, at least 30% at least 40 weight %, at least 50 weight %, at least 60 weight %, at least 70 weight %, at least 80 weight %, or at least 90 weight %, of a carrier based on the total weight of the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition. In other examples, the antiperspirant composition include from about 30 weight % to about 70 weight % water or from about 40 weight % to about 60 weight % water. In one preferred embodiment, the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition includes about 57 weight % water, based on the total weight of the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition. 
     The antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition may include one or more antiperspirant actives. The antiperspirant actives may be selected to be compatible with the other ingredients in the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition or to maintain specific characteristics thereof. For example, in some embodiments, the antiperspirant actives are selected to maintain an overall pH of the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition. The antiperspirant actives may include at least one of aluminum chlorohydrate, aluminum chloride, and aluminum zirconium. In one preferred embodiment, the antiperspirant active includes aluminum chloride. 
     The antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition may include an effective amount of antiperspirant actives. As used herein, the expression or term “effective amount” may refer to an amount of antiperspirant active sufficient to elicit a response (e.g., biological, medical, etc.) when applied to skin. For example, the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition may include an amount of antiperspirant actives that is effective to reduce the flow of perspiration in the axillary region. In other examples, the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition may include an amount of antiperspirant actives that is effective to reduce malodor or to act as an antibacterial. 
     In certain embodiments, the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition includes from about 2 weight % to about 25 weight % antiperspirant actives, based on a total weight of the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition. Alternatively, the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition may include from about 5 weight % to about 20 weight % antiperspirant actives or from about 10 weight % to about 15 weight % antiperspirant actives. For example, in one preferred embodiment, the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition includes about 12 weight % aluminum chloride. 
     The antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition may include one or more deodorant actives. In various embodiments, the deodorant actives are selected to be compatible with the other ingredients in the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition or to maintain specific characteristics thereof. For example, in some embodiments, the deodorant actives are selected to maintain an overall pH of the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition. In other examples, the deodorant active is selected to be dissolvable in the carrier. 
     The deodorant actives may include at least one of alum, potassium aluminum sulfate, zinc oxide, ethylhexylglycerin, octenidine hydrochloride, zinc citrate, zinc pyrithione, and silver compounds. For example, the deodorant actives may include potassium aluminum sulfate or potassium aluminum sulfate crystals. In various embodiments, the deodorant actives are fully dissolved in the carrier. 
     The antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition may include an effective amount of deodorant actives. For example, the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition may include from about 2 weight % to about 25 weight % deodorant actives, based on a total weight of the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition. In other examples, the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition may include from about 10 weight % to about 20 weight % deodorant actives or from about 8 weight % to about 16 weight % deodorant actives. In one preferred embodiment, the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition includes about 12 weight % deodorant actives. 
     The antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition may include one or more surfactants. The surfactants may be selected to provide adequate viscosity to the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition. The surfactants may also be selected to enable the solubilization of other ingredients in the antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition. The surfactants may further be selected to resist degradation in a low pH environment.

     Each of the compositions of Table 2 were tested on full-thickness human skin equivalent models (EFT-400, available from MATTEK Corp., Ashland, Mass.) as follows: normalized tissue samples (EFT-400) were placed in 6-well plates with 1 ml of fresh media. 30 μL of each composition (control composition and compositions 1-3) were evenly added on top of each tissue sample, and some samples were left untreated. The tissue samples were incubated at 37° C. for 60 minutes and a media sample (supernate) was collected and stored at −80° C. for later testing. After incubation, the tissue samples were washed with phosphate buffer saline (PBS) to remove the compositions and then transferred into new plates with 1 ml new media. 
     To evaluate fibrillin-1 and procollagen production, the supernate media samples collected at 1 and 48 hours were tested using ELISA kits for human fibrillin-1 (FBN1) (CSB-E 13141h, CUSABIO) and Procollagen Type I C-peptide (PIP) (MK101, TAKARA), respectively. The testing was done in triplicate and the data in Table 2 represents the average value for 3 tests.

     As illustrated in Table 2, the combination of flaxseed oil and taurine in composition 3 demonstrates synergistic effects for the production of fibrillin-1 and procollagen. 
     Each of the compositions of Table 3 was tested on human dermal fibroblast cells (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Gaithersburg, Md.) as follows: human dermal fibroblast cells were seeded in 6-well plates and grow until about 80% confluency. 1 mL of each composition was added to the wells in triplicate per composition. The cells were then incubated at 37° C., 5% CO 2  for 24 hours and the supernatants were collected and analyzed for Collagen I release. Collagen I release in the supernatants was measured using COL1A1 ELISA kit (MyBioSource, San Diego, Calif.). The average Collagen I release per composition was calculated and is shown in Table 3. The data in Table 3 represents the average value for 3 tests.

     As illustrated in Table 3, the combination of taurine and flaxseed oil demonstrates synergistic effects in promoting Collagen I production as compared to the individual effects taurine and flaxseed oil alone. 
     Accordingly, as shown by Tables 2-3, the inventors have surprisingly discovered a new antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition which enhances production of fibrillin-1 and procollagen and could provide the anti-aging skin benefits of increasing skin elasticity and firming. 
     The present disclosure has been described with reference to exemplary embodiments.
