Title: Cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical emulsions

Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION  
       [0001] This invention relates generally to cosmetic products and, more particularly, to cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical emulsions containing long-chain hydroxyfatty acids and/or salts thereof and to their use in waterproof sun protection preparations and as viscosity adjusters.  
       PRIOR ART  
       [0002] An important factor in the modern formulation development of cosmetic and pharmaceutical emulsions is inter alia the choice of the emulsifiers. Not only should the emulsifiers used be capable of stabilizing the phases and the viscosity of emulsions over a prolonged period, even when used in low concentrations, they are also expected favorably to influence the sensory properties of the emulsion. Emulsifiers frequently used for this purpose are soaps of stearic and/or palmitic acid, so-called triple-pressed stearic acid—a mixture of palmitic and stearic acids—generally being used in most cases as sodium, potassium or triethanolamine soap. However, it has often been found that emulsions such as these form emulsions with only limited phase stability and that the necessary viscosity can only be adjusted using high concentrations of polymers.  
       [0003] The water resistance of a sun protection formulation is normally achieved by the addition of polymers such as, for example, PVP/Hexadecene Copolymer. However, these polymers have the disadvantage that they seriously impair the sensory properties of the emulsion in regard to absorption behavior, spreadability and tackiness.  
       [0004] Accordingly, the problem addressed by the present invention was to provide cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical emulsions which would have a higher viscosity and phase stability than known commercially available products. In addition, the products would be highly water-resistant but would still be easy to spread over the skin, would be readily absorbed by the skin and would not leave it feeling tacky.  
       DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION  
       [0005] The present invention relates to cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical emulsions containing long-chain hydroxyfatty acid, preferably 12-hydroxystearic acid, and/or salts thereof.  
       [0006] It has surprisingly been found that soaps of long-chain hydroxyfatty acids in particular, optionally in combination with the free acid, not only build up higher viscosities in emulsions than the known fatty acids, they also provide for better phase stability and improve the sensory behavior of the emulsions, i.e. are easy to spread over the skin, are readily absorbed by the skin and are non-tacky. This even applies when only part of the stearic acid is replaced by long-chain hydroxyfatty acids. The invention also includes the observation that the addition of long-chain hydroxyfatty acids or salts thereof leads to a significant improvement in the water resistance of otherwise known sun protection formulations without adversely affecting the sensory evaluation of the products.  
       [0007] Long-Chain Hydroxyfatty Acid and Salts Thereof  
       [0008] Long-chain hydroxyfatty acids in the context of the invention are understood to be hydroxyfatty acids with fatty acid chain lengths of 6 to 22, preferably 10 to 16 and more particularly 12 to 14 (long-chained) carbon atoms which contain 1 to 4, preferably 1 to 3 and more particularly 1 to 2 hydroxy groups.  
       [0009] Instead of the long-chain hydroxyfatty acids, preferably hydroxystearic acid and, more particularly, 12-hydroxystearic acid, salts thereof, namely the alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium, alkylammonium, alkanolammonium, glucammonium, aluminium and/or zinc salts may also be used. Long-chain hydroxyfatty acids may also be used in admixture with the salts or complete or partial neutralization may be achieved in the end formulation itself by addition of corresponding basic compounds. The long-chain hydroxyfatty acids and/or salts thereof are normally used in quantities of 0.1 to 10, preferably 0.5 to 5 and more particularly 1 to 2% by weight, based on the end formulation.  
       [0010] Commercial Applications  
       [0011] The present invention also relates to the use of long-chain hydroxyfatty acids, preferably hydroxystearic acid, and/or salts thereof for the production of waterproof sun protection preparations in which they may be present in quantities of 0.1 to 10, preferably 0.5 to 5 and more particularly 1 to 2% by weight, based on the end formulation.  
       [0012] The present invention also relates to the use of long-chain hydroxyfatty acids and/or salts thereof as viscosity adjusters. Where the viscosity adjusters according to the invention are used to replace or partly replace conventional viscosity adjusters, for example stearic acid, 1.3 to 10 and preferably 1.5 to 5 times higher viscosities (Brookfield RVF, spindle 5, 20 r.p.m., 23° C. after 1 week) can be measured.  
       [0013] Cosmetic and/or Pharmaceutical Preparations  
       [0014] The emulsions according to the invention may be used for creams, gels, lotions, alcoholic and aqueous/alcoholic solutions, emulsions, wax/fat compounds, stick preparations and the like and may contain mild surfactants, oil components, emulsifiers, pearlizing waxes, consistency factors, thickeners, superfatting agents, stabilizers, polymers, silicone compounds, fats, waxes, lecithins, phospholipids, biogenic agents, UV protection factors, antioxidants, deodorants, antiperspirants, antidandruff agents, film formers, swelling agents, insect repellents, self-tanning agents, tyrosine inhibitors (depigmenting agents), hydrotropes, solubilizers, preservatives, perfume oils, dyes and the like as further auxiliaries and additives.

       [0045] Anionic Emulsifiers  
       [0046] Typical anionic emulsifiers are salts, namely the alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium, alkylammonium, alkanolammonium, glucammonium, aluminium and/or zinc salts of aliphatic fatty acids containing 12 to 22 carbon atoms such as, for example, palmitic acid, stearic acid or behenic acid and dicarboxylic acids containing 12 to 22 carbon atoms such as, for example, azelaic acid or sebacic acid.  
       [0047] Amphoteric and Cationic Emulsifiers  
       [0048] Other suitable emulsifiers are zwitterionic surfactants. Zwitterionic surfactants are surface-active compounds which contain at least one quaternary ammonium group and at least one carboxylate and one sulfonate group in the molecule. Particularly suitable zwitterionic surfactants are the so-called betaines, such as the N-alkyl-N,N-dimethyl ammonium glycinates, for example cocoalkyl dimethyl ammonium glycinate, N-acylaminopropyl-N,N-dimethyl ammonium glycinates, for example cocoacylaminopropyl dimethyl ammonium glycinate, and 2-alkyl-3-carboxymethyl-3hydroxyethyl imidazolines containing 8 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl or acyl group and cocoacylaminoethyl hydroxyethyl carboxymethyl glycinate. The fatty acid amide derivative known under the CTFA name of Cocamidopropyl Betaine is particularly preferred. Ampholytic surfactants are also suitable emulsifiers. Ampholytic surfactants are surface-active compounds which, in addition to a C 8/18  alkyl or acyl group, contain at least one free amino group and at least one —COOH— or —SO 3 H— group in the molecule and which are capable of forming inner salts. Examples of suitable ampholytic surfactants are N-alkyl glycines, N-alkyl propionic acids, N-alkylaminobutyric acids, N-alkyliminodipropionic acids, N-hydroxyethyl-N-alkylamidopropyl glycines, N-alkyl taurines, N-alkyl sarcosines, 2-alkylaminopropionic acids and alkylaminoacetic acids containing around 8 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl group. Particularly preferred ampholytic surfactants are N-coco-alkylaminopropionate, cocoacylaminoethyl aminopropionate and C 12/18  acyl sarcosine. Finally, cationic surfactants are also suitable emulsifiers, those of the esterquat type, preferably methyl-quaternized difatty acid triethanolamine ester salts, being particularly preferred.  
       [0049] Fats and Waxes  
       [0050] Typical examples of fats are glycerides, i.e. solid or liquid, vegetable or animal products which consist essentially of mixed glycerol esters of higher fatty acids. Suitable waxes are inter alia natural waxes such as, for example, candelilla wax, carnauba wax, Japan wax, espartograss wax, cork wax, guaruma wax, rice oil wax, sugar cane wax, ouricury wax, montan wax, beeswax, shellac wax, spermaceti, lanolin (wool wax), uropygial fat, ceresine, ozocerite (earth wax), petrolatum, paraffin waxes, microwaxes; chemically modified waxes (hard waxes) such as, for example, montan ester waxes, sasol waxes, hydrogenated jojoba waxes and synthetic waxes such as, for example, polyalkylene waxes and polyethylene glycol waxes. Besides the fats, other suitable additives are fat-like substances, such as lecithins and phospholipids. Lecithins are known among experts as glycerophospholipids which are formed from fatty acids, glycerol, phosphoric acid and choline by esterification. Accordingly, lecithins are also frequently referred to by experts as phosphatidyl cholines (PCs). Examples of natural lecithins are the kephalins which are also known as phosphatidic acids and which are derivatives of 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphoric acids. By contrast, phospholipids are generally understood to be mono- and preferably diesters of phosphoric acid with glycerol(glycerophosphates) which are normally classed as fats. Sphingosines and sphingolipids are also suitable.

       [0054] The consistency factors mainly used are fatty alcohols or hydroxyfatty alcohols containing 12 to 22 and preferably 16 to 18 carbon atoms and also partial glycerides, fatty acids containing 12 to 22 carbon atoms or 12-hydroxyfatty acids. A combination of these substances with alkyl oligoglucosides and/or fatty acid N-methyl glucamides of the same chain length and/or polyglycerol poly-12-hydroxystearates is preferably used. Suitable thickeners are, for example, Aerosil® types (hydrophilic silicas), polysaccharides, more especially xanthan gum, guar-guar, agar-agar, alginates and tyloses, carboxymethyl cellulose and hydroxyethyl and hydroxypropyl cellulose, also relatively high molecular weight polyethylene glycol monoesters and diesters of fatty acids, polyacrylates (for example Carbopols® and Pemulen types [Goodrich]; Synthalens® [Sigma]; Keltrol types [Kelco]; Sepigel types [Seppic]; Salcare types [Allied Colloids]), polyacrylamides, polymers, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl pyrrolidone. Other consistency factors which have proved to be particularly effective are bentonites, for example Bentone® Gel VS-5PC (Rheox) which is a mixture of cyclopentasiloxane, Disteardimonium Hectorite and propylene carbonate. Other suitable consistency factors are surfactants such as, for example, ethoxylated fatty acid glycerides, esters of fatty acids with polyols, for example pentaerythritol or trimethylol propane, narrow-range fatty alcohol ethoxylates or alkyl oligoglucosides and electrolytes, such as sodium chloride and ammonium chloride.

       [0057] Stabilizers  
       [0058] Metal salts of fatty acids such as, for example, magnesium, aluminium and/or zinc stearate or ricinoleate may be used as stabilizers.

The UV-A and UV-B filters may of course also be used in the form of mixtures. Particularly favorable combinations consist of the derivatives of benzoyl methane, for example 4-tert.butyl-4′-methoxydibenzoyl methane (Parsol® 1789) and 2-cyano-3,3-phenylcinnamic acid-2-ethylhexyl ester (Octocrylene), in combination with esters of cinnamic acid, preferably 4-methoxycinnamic acid-2-ethylhexyl ester and/or 4-methoxycinnamic acid propyl ester and/or 4-methoxycinnamic acid isoamyl ester. Combinations such as these are advantageously combined with water-soluble filters such as, for example, 2-phenylbenzimidazole-5-sulfonic acid and alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium, alkylammonium, alkanolammonium and glucammonium salts thereof.  
       [0080] Besides the soluble substances mentioned, insoluble light-blocking pigments, i.e. finely dispersed metal oxides or salts, may also be used for this purpose. Examples of suitable metal oxides are, in particular, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide and also oxides of iron, zirconium, silicon, manganese, aluminium and cerium and mixtures thereof. Silicates (talcum), barium sulfate and zinc stearate may be used as salts. The oxides and salts are used in the form of the pigments for skin-care and skin-protecting emulsions and decorative cosmetics. The particles should have a mean diameter of less than 100 nm, preferably between 5 and 50 nm and more preferably between 15 and 30 nm. They may be spherical in shape although ellipsoidal particles or other non-spherical particles may also be used. The pigments may also be surface-treated, i.e. hydrophilicized or hydrophobicized. Typical examples are coated titanium dioxides, for example Titandioxid T 805 (Degussa) and Eusolex® T2000 (Merck). Suitable hydrophobic coating materials are, above all, silicones and, among these, especially trialkoxyoctylsilanes or simethicones. So-called micro- or nanopigments are preferably used in sun protection products. Micronized zinc oxide is preferably used. Other suitable UV filters can be found in P. Finkel&#39;s review in SÖFWV-Journal 122, 543 (1996) and in Parf. Kosm. 3, 11 (1999).  
       [0081] Besides the two groups of primary sun protection factors mentioned above, secondary sun protection factors of the antioxidant type may also be used. Secondary sun protection factors of the antioxidant type interrupt the photochemical reaction chain which is initiated when UV rays penetrate into the skin. Typical examples are amino acids (for example glycine, histidine, tyrosine, tryptophane) and derivatives thereof, imidazoles (for example urocanic acid) and derivatives thereof, peptides, such as D,L-carnosine, D-carnosine, L-carnosine and derivatives thereof (for example anserine), carotinoids, carotenes (for example α-carotene, β-carotene, lycopene) and derivatives thereof, chlorogenic acid and derivatives thereof, liponic acid and derivatives thereof (for example dihydroliponic acid), aurothioglucose, propylthiouracil and other thiols (for example thioredoxine, glutathione, cysteine, cystine, cystamine and glycosyl, N-acetyl, methyl, ethyl, propyl, amyl, butyl and lauryl, palmitoyl, oleyl, γ-linoleyl, cholesteryl and glyceryl esters thereof) and their salts, dilaurylthiodipropionate, distearylthiodipropionate, thiodipropionic acid and derivatives thereof (esters, ethers, peptides, lipids, nucleotides, nucleosides and salts) and sulfoximine compounds (for example butionine sulfoximines, homocysteine sulfoximine, butionine sulfones, penta-, hexa- and heptathionine sulfoximine) in very small compatible dosages (for example pmole to μmole/kg), also (metal) chelators (for example α-hydroxyfatty acids, palmitic acid, phytic acid, lactoferrine), α-hydroxy acids (for example citric acid, lactic acid, malic acid), humic acid, bile acid, bile extracts, bilirubin, biliverdin, EDTA, EGTA and derivatives thereof, unsaturated fatty acids and derivatives thereof (for example γ-linolenic acid, linoleic acid, oleic acid), folic acid and derivatives thereof, ubiquinone and ubiquinol and derivatives thereof, vitamin C and derivatives thereof (for example ascorbyl palmitate, Mg ascorbyl phosphate, ascorbyl acetate), tocopherols and derivatives (for example vitamin E acetate), vitamin A and derivatives (vitamin A palmitate) and coniferyl benzoate of benzoin resin, rutinic acid and derivatives thereof, α-glycosyl rutin, ferulic acid, furfurylidene glucitol, carnosine, butyl hydroxytoluene, butyl hydroxyanisole, nordihydroguaiac resin acid, nordihydroguaiaretic acid, trihydroxybutyrophenone, uric acid and derivatives thereof, mannose and derivatives thereof, Superoxid-Dismutase, zinc and derivatives thereof (for example ZnO, ZnSO 4 ), selenium and derivatives thereof (for example selenium methionine), stilbenes and derivatives thereof (for example stilbene oxide, trans-stilbene oxide) and derivatives of these active substances suitable for the purposes of the invention (salts, esters, ethers, sugars, nucleotides, nucleosides, peptides and lipids).  
       [0082] Biogenic Agents  
       [0083] In the context of the invention, biogenic agents are, for example, tocopherol, tocopherol acetate, tocopherol palmitate, ascorbic acid, (deoxy)ribonucleic acid and fragmentation products thereof, β-glucans, retinol, bisabolol, allantoin, phytantriol, panthenol, AHA acids, amino acids, ceramides, pseudoceramides, essential oils, plant extracts, for example prune extract, bambara nut extract, and vitamin complexes.  
       [0084] Deodorants and Germ Inhibitors  
       [0085] Cosmetic deodorants counteract, mask or eliminate body odors. Body odors are formed through the action of skin bacteria on apocrine perspiration which results in the formation of unpleasant-smelling degradation products. Accordingly, deodorants contain active principles which act as germ inhibitors, enzyme inhibitors, odor absorbers or odor maskers.  
       [0086] Germ Inhibitors  
       [0087] Basically, suitable germ inhibitors are any substances which act against gram-positive bacteria such as, for example, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and salts and esters thereof, N-(4-chlorophenyl)-N′-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-urea, 2,4,4′-trichloro-2′-hydroxy-diphenylether (triclosan), 4-chloro-3,5-dimethylphenol, 2,2′methylene-bis-(6-bromo-4-chlorophenol), 3-methyl-4-(1-methylethyl)-phenol, 2-benzyl4-chlorophenol, 3-(4-chlorophenoxy)propane-1,2-diol, 3-iodo-2-propinyl butyl carbamate, chlorhexidine, 3,4,4′-trichlorocarbanilide (TTC), antibacterial perfumes, thymol, thyme oil, eugenol, clove oil, menthol, mint oil, farnesol, phenoxyethanol, glycerol monocaprate, glycerol monocaprylate, glycerol monolaurate (GML), diglycerol monocaprate (DMC), salicylic acid-N-alkylamides such as, for example, salicylic acid-noctyl amide or salicylic acid-n-decyl amide.  
       [0088] Enzyme Inhibitors  
       [0089] Suitable enzyme inhibitors are, for example, esterase inhibitors. Esterase inhibitors are preferably trialkyl citrates, such as trimethyl citrate, tripropyl citrate, triisopropyl citrate, tributyl citrate and, in particular, triethyl citrate (Hydagen® CAT). Esterase inhibitors inhibit enzyme activity and thus reduce odor formation.  
       [0090] Other esterase inhibitors are sterol sulfates or phosphates such as, for example, lanosterol, cholesterol, campesterol, stigmasterol and sitosterol sulfate or phosphate, dicarboxylic acids and esters thereof, for example glutaric acid, glutaric acid monoethyl ester, glutaric acid diethyl ester, adipic acid, adipic acid monoethyl ester, adipic acid diethyl ester, malonic acid and malonic acid diethyl ester, hydroxycarboxylic acids and esters thereof, for example citric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid or tartaric acid diethyl ester, and zinc glycinate.  
       [0091] Odor Absorbers  
       [0092] Suitable odor absorbers are substances which are capable of absorbing and largely retaining the odor-forming compounds. They reduce the partial pressure of the individual components and thus also reduce the rate at which they spread. An important requirement in this regard is that perfumes must remain unimpaired. Odor absorbers are not active against bacteria. They contain, for example, a complex zinc salt of ricinoleic acid or special perfumes of largely neutral odor known to the expert as “fixateurs” such as, for example, extracts of ladanum or styrax or certain abietic acid derivatives as their principal component. Odor maskers are perfumes or perfume oils which, besides their odor-masking function, impart their particular perfume note to the deodorants. Suitable perfume oils are, for example, mixtures of natural and synthetic perfumes. Natural perfumes include the extracts of blossoms, stems and leaves, fruits, fruit peel, roots, woods, herbs and grasses, needles and branches, resins and balsams. Animal raw materials, for example civet and beaver, may also be used. Typical synthetic perfume compounds are products of the ester, ether, aldehyde, ketone, alcohol and hydrocarbon type. Examples of perfume compounds of the ester type are benzyl acetate, p-tert.butyl cyclohexylacetate, linalyl acetate, phenyl ethyl acetate, linalyl benzoate, benzyl formate, allyl cyclohexyl propionate, styrallyl propionate and benzyl salicylate. Ethers include, for example, benzyl ethyl ether while aldehydes include, for example, the linear alkanals containing 8 to 18 carbon atoms, citral, citronellal, citronellyloxyacetaldehyde, cyclamen aldehyde, hydroxycitronellal, lilial and bourgeonal. Examples of suitable ketones are the ionones and methyl cedryl ketone. Suitable alcohols are anethol, citronellol, eugenol, isoeugenol, geraniol, linalool, phenylethyl alcohol and terpineol. The hydrocarbons mainly include the terpenes and balsams. However, it is preferred to use mixtures of different perfume compounds which, together, produce an agreeable perfume. Other suitable perfume oils are essential oils of relatively low volatility which are mostly used as aroma components. Examples are sage oil, camomile oil, clove oil, melissa oil, mint oil, cinnamon leaf oil, lime-blossom oil, juniper berry oil, vetiver oil, olibanum oil, galbanum oil, ladanum oil and lavendin oil. The following are preferably used either individually or in the form of mixtures: bergamot oil, dihydromyrcenol, lilial, lyral, citronellol, phenylethyl alcohol, α-hexylcinnamaldehyde, geraniol, benzyl acetone, cyclamen aldehyde, linalool, Boisambrene Forte, Ambroxan, indole, hedione, sandelice, citrus oil, mandarin oil, orange oil, allylamyl glycolate, cyclovertal, lavendin oil, clary oil, β-damascone, geranium oil bourbon, cyclohexyl salicylate, Vertofix Coeur, Iso-E-Super, Fixolide NP, evernyl, iraldein gamma, phenylacetic acid, geranyl acetate, benzyl acetate, rose oxide, romilat, irotyl and floramat.  
       [0093] Antiperspirants  
       [0094] Antiperspirants reduce perspiration and thus counteract underarm wetness and body odor by influencing the activity of the eccrine sweat glands. Aqueous or water-free antiperspirant formulations typically contain the following ingredients:

       [0096] oil components,  
       [0097] nonionic emulsifiers,

       [0100] auxiliaries in the form of, for example, thickeners or complexing agents and/or  
       [0101] non-aqueous solvents such as, for example, ethanol, propylene glycol and/or glycerol.  
       [0102] Suitable astringent active principles of antiperspirants are, above all, salts of aluminium, zirconium or zinc.

Oil-soluble and water-soluble auxiliaries typically encountered in antiperspirants may also be present in relatively small amounts. Oil-soluble auxiliaries such as these include, for example,  
       [0103] inflammation-inhibiting, skin-protecting or pleasant-smelling essential oils,  
       [0104] synthetic skin-protecting agents and/or

       [0116] A suitable self-tanning agent is dihydroxyacetone. Suitable tyrosine inhibitors which prevent the formation of melanin and are used in depigmenting agents are, for example, arbutin, ferulic acid, koji acid, coumaric acid and ascorbic acid (vitamin C).  
       [0117] Hydrotropes  
       [0118] In addition, hydrotropes, for example ethanol, isopropyl alcohol or polyols, may be used to improve flow behavior. Suitable polyols preferably contain 2 to 15 carbon atoms and at least two hydroxyl groups. The polyols may contain other functional groups, more especially amino groups, or may be modified with nitrogen. Typical examples are  
       [0119] glycerol;  
       [0120] alkylene glycols such as, for example, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butylene glycol, hexylene glycol and polyethylene glycols with an average molecular weight of 100 to 1000 dalton;

     EXAMPLES OF THE USE OF 12-HYDROXYSTEARIC ACID  
     Examples 1 to 3, Comparison Examples C1 and C2  
     [0136] The water resistance of the following formulations was determined as follows:  
     [0137] carrier material: Vitro-Skin N19, a product of IMS (4×3 cm), on transparency frames  
     [0138] quantity applied: 2 mg/cm 2    
     [0139] drying time before 1st measurement: 15 mins., temperature 30° C.  
     [0140] water temperature: 23° C. (16° d)  
     [0141] pH value water: 7.0±0.5  
     [0142] water volume: 400 ml  
     [0143] stirring speed: 300 r.p.m. (magnetic stirrer)  
     [0144] watering time: 2×20 mins with a 20-minute interval  
     [0145] drying time before 2nd measurement: 15 mins., temperature 30° C.  
     [0146] The SPF is determined before and after watering using a UV-1000S Labsphere Ultraviolet Transmittance Analyzer. The results are set out in Table 1. Examples 1 to 3 correspond to the invention, Examples C1 and C2 are intended for comparison. All quantities are in % by weight. The sensory evaluation was conducted by a panel of trained volunteers who awarded scores of (1)=very good to (6)=unsatisfactory. The final result represents the average of three measurements.  
     Examples 4 to 7, Comparison Examples C3 and C4  
     [0147] Examples 4 and 5 according to the invention show that distinctly higher viscosities and improved thermal stabilities are achieved in comparison with C3 and C4 for a comparable formulation. At the same time, sensory behavior is considerably improved. Examples 6 and 7 show that the percentage polymer content can be reduced by 50% by weight to build up comparable viscosities to C3 and C4, even when the stearic acid is only partly replaced by 12-hydroxystearic acid. All the emulsions according to the invention are stable in storage and have good sensory properties. Ca. 95% by weight of the 12-hydroxystearic acid is present as the triethanolamine salt in the Examples. Viscosity was determined with a Brookfield RVF viscosimeter (spindle 5, 20 r.p.m., 23° C. after 1 week). Stability was also determined using the school mark scale.
