2. Description of the Related Art

Commercial sunscreen compositions commonly employ a sunscreen active, such as a dibenzoylmethane derivative, e.g. butylmethoxydibenzoylmethane (avobenzone). A common problem associated with some sunscreen compositions is a tendency of sunscreen actives, including dibenzoylmethane and/or derivatives thereof, to photodegrade over time from exposure to UV (ultraviolet) light, e.g. lack of photostabilization. This results in an alteration of the UV absorbance of the composition and, thus, a diminution in sunscreen protection for the user during extended exposure to sunlight.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,952,391 relates to sunscreen compositions having dibenzoylmethane sunscreen actives. The compositions have flavone or flavanone derivatives to stabilize the dibenzoylmethane actives.

Current esters of 2-cyano-3,3-diphenyl-2-propenonic acid have short chain alcohols for ease of use. U.S. Pat. No. 6,416,773 modified the commercially available esters by reacting the acid with a cyclic alcohol. This change has resulted in crystalline solids with poor solubility that require the addition of solvents that were not preferred for optimal efficacy, aesthetics, and stability. Consequently, these esters are not ideally suited for cosmetic formulations.

Besides photostabilization, suncare formulations also strive for water, perspiration and wear resistance. Additionally, a desired property of sunscreens is protection from both UVB and UVA wavelengths, as well as increased coverage of the skin.

It is desired to have a sunscreen composition that is photostable and affords the claimed sunscreen protection for an extended period of time. It is also desired to have a sunscreen composition that provides: water, perspiration and wear resistance; photostabilization of dibenzoylmethane and its derivatives and other sunscreens; a synergistic increase in UV absorbance with dibenzoylmethane derivatives; and a cumulative boost of UV absorbance in the erythemal action spectra of UV light. It is further desired to have such a photostable sunscreen composition that affords an enhanced degree of sunscreen protection from a broad spectrum of both UVB and UVA wavelengths, and that also offers improved coverage of the skin.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a molecule/compound that imparts water resistance to a personal care composition, preferably a suncare or insect repellent and/or a combination sunscreen/insect repellent product.

It is another object of the present invention to provide such a molecule/compound that imparts photostability to a sunscreen composition.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide such a molecule/compound in which dibenzoylmethane derivatives are photostabilized by the unique molecule.

It is yet another object of the present invention to provide such a molecule/compound that has a synergistic effect with sunscreens to provide enhanced UV absorbance upon increased exposure to ultraviolet light.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method of incorporating this molecule/compound into a personal care composition, preferably a suncare product or an outdoor protection product.

It is still a further object of the present invention to provide such a method in which this molecule/compound is incorporated into a suncare product that is water resistant or waterproof, sweat resistant or sweatproof, and/or photostable.

These and other objects and advantages of the present invention are achieved by a composition with improved photostability and enhanced SPF. More preferably, the composition also has water resistant properties. The composition may be cream, gel, liquid, lotion, serum, towlette impregnated with the composition, mousse, patch, sachet, powder, balm, stick or spray form.

Previously described short chain or cyclic esters of 2-cyano-3,3-diphenyl-2-propenoic acid absorb predominantly in the UVB spectrum, while long chain esters exhibited absorbance in the UVA and UVB regions as well as improved compatibility with standard cosmetic oils.

It has been unexpectedly discovered according to the present invention that a composition having 2-substituted-3,3-diphenyl-2-propenoic acids reacted with [A] a C 16 to C 50 straight or branched chain, substituted or unsubstituted, conjugated or non-conjugated hydrocarbon, or [B] a siloxane, polysiloxane or organo-modified polysiloxane residue, which have a large molecular configuration, provides superior substantivity, waterproofing and wear resistance as compared to short chain or cyclic esters of 2-cyano-3,3-diphenyl-2-propenoic acid that are currently known in the art. It was surprisingly found that the preferred embodiment has an ideal UV absorbance for use in personal UV protection products and provides broad spectrum protection. It was also surprisingly found that the present invention provides for a synergistic increase in UV absorbance upon long term UV exposure when used in combination with dibenzoylmethane derivatives and/or other sunscreen actives. Additionally, superior photostabilization of the dibenzoylmethane derivative was noted. Previously described short chain or cyclic esters of 2-cyano-3,3-diphenyl-2-propenoic acid absorb predominantly in the UVB spectrum. Furthermore, the above described changes to the Z component of the molecule provide a functional molecule that is easy to work with in cosmetic formulations.

The present compositions having 2-substituted-3,3-diphenyl-2-propenoic acids reacted with [A] a C 16 to C 50 straight or branched chain, substituted or unsubstituted, conjugated or non-conjugated hydrocarbon, or [B] a siloxane, polysiloxane or organo-modified polysiloxane residue, provide for increased substantivity, water and rub off resistance in personal care preparations.

Additionally, the composition provides for photostabilization of the dibenzoylmethane derivative. The preferred entity C 20 -C 40 cyano diphenyl propionate provides for substantial UV absorbance in the erythemal action spectrum. In addition, the preferred entity preferably offers a balanced UVA/UVB ratio of about 0.1 to about 0.9, more preferably about 0.25 to about 0.75, and most preferably about 0.4 to about 0.6.

The present composition may have one or more additional sunscreen actives. Such other sunscreen actives may be organic or inorganic, and/or water-soluble or oil soluble.

Other useful sunscreen actives include those disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,000,937 and 6,440,402, which sunscreen actives are incorporated herein by reference.

The compounds according to the present invention can be prepared by the reaction of a compound of formula (I), wherein the group —Y—Z together represents a single halide, such as a chloride, with the hydroxy functional hydrocarbon or siloxane compound, in the presence of an aqueous base when X 4 is oxygen, and, when X 4 is NH, NR or S, under anhydrous conditions, that are generally used for such reactions. Thus, Schotten-Bauman reaction conditions can be used when X 4 is O, and modified Schotten-Bauman reaction conditions can be used when X 4 is NH, NR, or S, provided anhydrous reaction conditions are maintained.

Preferred bases are those that are capable of removing the hydrogen halide formed during the reaction. Such bases include hindered amines, such as, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidenes, diazabicyclooctanes, such as, DABCO, diazabicyclononanes, diazabicyclodecanes, trioctylamine, tridecylamine, tridodecylamine, pentamethyl guanidine, lutidine, proton sponges, such as, 1,10-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene, basic alumina, basic silica gel, and the like. Aqueous alkali can be used for the Schotten-Bauman reaction.

The present invention provides the suncare formulator with a multifunctional molecule or compound for the formulation of all types of suncare products. As discussed above, the present composition can provide water, sweat and wear resistance, photostabilization of dibenzoylmethane and its derivatives and other sunscreens, a synergistic increase in UV absorbance to provide an ideal absorbency when used in combination with dibenzoylmethane derivatives. It also provides a cumulative boost of UV absorbance in the erythemal action spectra of UV light. The present composition also provides protection from both UVB and UVA wavelengths. The large size of this molecule can help lead to more even coverage of the skin and more active chromophore left on the surface of the skin.

The large molecular configuration of the compound or molecule of the present invention provides for superior substantivity, waterproofing, sweatproofing and wear resistance as compared to the aforementioned short chain or cyclic esters of 2-cyano-3,3-diphenyl-2-propenoic acid which are currently known in the art.

A typical sunscreen active known in the art is octocrylene and has the trade name UVINUL N 539 T. Octocrylene's chemical structure is:

UVINUL N 539 T is an oil-miscible UV-B filter used in suncare preparations. As it is miscible with many cosmetic oils, it can be easily incorporated in the oily phase of an emulsion. Because it is hydrophobic and oil-soluble, it is commonly used for water-resistant and water-repellant formulations. UVINUL N 539 T is commonly combined with other oil-soluble UV filters to obtain high SPF values. FIG. 1 is a graph illustrating the UV absorbance of UVINUL N 539 T, where the y axis is absorbance and the x axis is wavelength in nanometers.

Table 1 shows the effects of UV exposure on compositions of the present invention in combination with the dibenzoylmethane derivative, avobenzone. Samples were exposed to UV radiation produced by a 125W Xenon Arc Lamp at 75W power. The UV absorbing properties of the composition were measured every five (5) minutes for a total exposure of one (1) hour.

As shown in Table 1, over the course of twelve scans taken at 300 second intervals, a 55% improvement in overall SPF activity is demonstrated with the present invention. There is also a 25% improvement in UV-A activity, as well as a 41% improvement in erythemal protection. The change in critical lambda or critical wavelength is −0.025%. The change in cumulative absorbance is +6.7%.
