PERSONAL COMPOSITIONS WITH SILICONE EMULSIFIER-FREE NATURAL
EMULSIFIER SYSTEM
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application No.
61/541,747
filed September 30, 2011.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to personal care compositions comprising an oil-
in-water
emulsifier system. The emulsifier system may achieve a low-soaping index in
personal care
compositions which are free of silicone emulsifiers.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Volatile silicones and dimethicones are widely used as carriers or diluents
for personal
care and cosmetic applications. They enhance spreading and lubricating
properties, evaporate
quickly from the skin without cooling or stinging it, and leave it feeling
pleasantly dry and
smooth. They lubricate spray valves and roll-on applicators, ensure stick
compositions spread
smoothly, and prevent soaping and whitening during application. Therefore,
silicones have
traditionally been used in personal care compositions to provide one or more
of the
aforementioned benefits.
Consumers desire personal care compositions which are easy to apply to skin
and
dislike compositions which form dry or filmy residues. In order to design
products with high
spreadability, a low formulation viscosity is preferable. In addition,
consumers are becoming
more aware of the safety of the ingredients used in their cosmetic products.
In particular, the
use of silicone and silicone-based products has drawn negative attention from
the media.
Silicone and its derivatives have been used as the primary carrier, wetting
agent or coating
agent in a number of commercially available cosmetic and personal care
dispersions that
formulators have come to depend on. However, silicone and its derivatives,
though widely
used in cosmetics for many years, are once again undergoing scrutiny for their
safety as well
as environmental impact. In view of this situation, silicone and its
derivatives may fall out of
favor with consumers, requiring formulators to find suitable substitutes if
they are to continue
providing dispersion-based cosmetic and personal care products. Accordingly,
there is a need
1

CA 02849913 2014-03-24
WO 2013/049599
PCT/US2012/057964
for formulations which remain stable and low-soaping even in formulations
which are free of
silicone emulsifiers.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a personal care composition comprising an oil-
in-water
emulsifier system comprising at least one sucrose fatty acid ester and at
least one nonionic
surfactant, said system being substantially free of silicone emulsifiers.

Personal Care Composition
The personal care composition of the present invention is an oil-in-water
emulsion
comprising a continuous water phase and a discontinuous oil phase. Suitable
emulsions may
have a wide range of viscosities, depending on the desired product form. In
certain
embodiments, the personal care composition may have a viscosity of from about
1,000 cps
(centipoise) to about 1,000,000 cps, or from about 5,000 cps to about 500,000
cps, or from
about 10,000 cps to about 200,000 cps, or from about 15,000 cps to about
75,000 cps. For
example, viscosities may be measured on a Brookfield viscometer using a T-C
bar spindle
with a heliopath setting at 5 rpm at 25 C. In particular embodiments, the
personal care
composition has a pH of from about 3 to about 9, or from about 4 to about 7.
The personal care composition may comprise at least about 2% of an oil phase.
The
personal care composition may comprise from about 2% to about 75%, or from
about 5% to
about 35%, or from about 10% to about 30%, by weight of the composition, of an
oil phase.
The oil phase component is preferably essentially silicone-free, ie contains
no more than about
10%, preferably no more than about 5% by weight of silicon-based materials. It
will be
understood that the oil phase may contain small levels (eg. up to about 25%,
preferably 10%)
of oil phase soluble emulsifier ingredients.
Suitable oil phase components for use herein include, for example, optionally
hydroxy-
substituted C8 -C50 unsaturated fatty acids and esters thereof,
C1 -C24
esters of C8 -C30 saturated fatty acids such asisopropyl myristate,
cetyl palmitate
and octyldodecylmyristate (Wickenol 142), beeswax, saturated and unsaturated
fatty alcohols
such as behenyl alcohol and cetyl alcohol, hydrocarbons such as mineral oils,
petrolatum and
squalane, fatty sorbitan esters, lanolin and lanolin derivatives, animal and
vegetable
triglycerides such as almond oil, peanut oil, wheat germ oil, linseed oil,
jojoba oil, oil of
apricot pits, walnuts, palm nuts, pistachio nuts, sesame seeds, rapeseed, cade
oil, corn oil,
peach pit oil,poppyseed oil, pine oil, castor oil, soybean oil, avocado oil,
safflower oil,
coconut oil, hazelnut oil, olive oil, grapeseed oil, and sunflower seed oil
and C1 ¨C24 esters of
dimer and trimer acids such as diisopropyl dimerate,diisostearylmalate,
diisostearyidimerate
and triisostearyltrimerate. Of the above, highly preferred are the mineral
oils, petrolatums,
unsaturated fatty acids and esters thereof and mixtures thereof
The personal care composition may comprise from about 25% to about 98%, or
from
about 65% to about 95%, or from about 70% to about 90%, by weight of the
composition, of a
water phase. In some embodiments, the water phase may be comprised entirely of
water. In
4

CA 02849913 2014-03-24
WO 2013/049599
PCT/US2012/057964
other embodiments, the water phase may comprise components other than water
(i.e., non-
water components), including, but not limited to, water-soluble moisturizing
agents,
conditioning agents, anti-microbials, humectants, and/or other water-soluble
skin care actives,
to impart an increased benefit to the keratinous tissue. In one embodiment,
the water phase
comprises a humectant such as glycerin and/or other polyols. In a particular
embodiment, the
personal care composition may be substantially water-free.
In a particular embodiment, the personal care composition includes an oil-in-
water
emulsifier system comprising at least one sucrose fatty acid ester and at
least one non-
ionic surfactant. The sucrose fatty acid ester is preferably selected from the
group
consisting of sucrose dilaurate, sucrose distearate, sucrose hexaerucate;
sucrose
hexaoleate/hexapalmitate/hexastearate, sucrose hexapalmitate, sucrose laurate;
sucrose
myristate, sucrose oleate, sucrose palmitate, sucrose pentaerucate, sucrose
polybehenate,
sucrose polylaurate, sucrose polylinoleate, sucrose polyoleate, sucrose
polystearate, sucrose
ricinoleate, sucrose stearate, sucrose tetraisostearate, sucrose tribehenate,
sucrose trilaurate,
sucrose tristearate, sucrose cocoate, sucrose polycottonseedate, sucrose
polypalmate, sucrose
polysoyate, and mixtures thereof In a more preferred embodiment, the sucrose
fatty acid
ester is sucrose stearate. In a particular embodiment, the nonionic surfactant
is selected from
the group consisting of methyl glucose sesquisterate, PPG-20 methyl glucose
ether, PPG-20
methyl glucose ether distearate, PEG-120 methyl glucose dioleate and
ethoxylated methyl
glucose having from about 10 to about 20 repeating ethoxy units. In a
preferred embodiment,
the nonionic surfactant is methyl glucose sesquisterate.
The emulsifier system herein surprisingly avoids the soaping effect evidenced
by other
personal care formulations. In order to suppress soaping in many
emulsifications, formulators
have traditionally used silicone, or specifically, dimethicone. The emulsifier
system herein is
further surprising in that soaping may be reduced or eliminated in
formulations which are
substantially free of silicone emulsifiers. The low-soaping effect is assisted
by achieving a
ratio of sucrose fatty acid ester to nonionic surfactant of from about 1:3 to
about 3:1. In a
preferred embodiment, the ratio of sucrose fatty acid ester to nonionic
surfactant is about 1:1.
As used herein, the term "emulsifier system" refers to the combination of both
the sucrose
fatty acid ester and nonionic surfactant.
Preferably the emulsifier system has an HLB from about 1.5 to 13.0, preferably
from
about 3.4 to 13.0, more preferably 3.4 to about 9.5, more preferably 3.4 to
about 8Ø When
formulated in a personal care or cosmetic composition, the emulsifier system
is present at a
5

CA 02849913 2014-03-24
WO 2013/049599
PCT/US2012/057964
level ranging from about 0.1% to about 10%, more preferably from about 0.25%
to about 8%,
even more preferably from about 0.5% to about 7%, still even more preferably
from about
1.0% to about 5%, and still even still more preferably from about 1.5% to
about 4%, by
weight of the personal or cosmetic care compositions.
The balance between the hydrophilic and lipophilic moieties in a surfactant
molecule
is used as a method of classification (hydrophile-lipophile balance, HLB). The
HLB values for
commonly-used surfactants are readily available in the literature (e.g., HLB
Index in
McCutcheon's Emulsifiers and Detergents, MC Publishing Co., 2004). For
example, cocamide
monoethanolamine (CMEA) is known in the art to have an HLB value of 16.8.
Another way
of obtaining HLB values is to estimate by calculations. The HLB system was
originally
devised by Griffin (J. Soc. Cosmetic Chem., 1, 311, 1949). Griffin defined the
HLB value of a
surfactant as the mol % of the hydrophilic groups divided by 5, where a
completely
hydrophilic molecule (with no non-polar groups) had an HLB value of 20. Other
examples of
how to calculate HLB values are described by Davies in Interfacial Phenomena,
2nd Edition,
Academic Press, London, 1963 and by Lin in J Phys. Chem. 76, 2019-2013, 1972.

Soaping Index
The emulsifier system herein surprisingly avoids soaping exhibited by many
personal
care compositions. As discussed hereinabove, formulators have traditionally
mitigated the
soaping effect by using silicone, and specifically dimethicone, to minimize
the appearance of a
soapy film after application of the cosmetic composition. The soaping effect
is measured
herein via a "Soaping Index".
The Soaping Index is based a 5-point scale according to the comparative
examples
discussed hereinafter. About 0.5g of each sample formulation is applied to a
user's forearm
according to typical application by a consumer. The formulation which formed
the greatest
amount of soapy residue by visual inspection is assigned a "5". The remaining
formulations
are compared visually, side-by-side, and a value is assigned on a relative
basis, with "5" being
about identical to the highest soapy-residue forming formulation, and a "0"
being substantially
free of any soapy residue.

Method of Use
The present invention relates to a method for improving or regulating
keratinous tissue
condition. In one aspect, this may be accomplished by providing the personal
care
composition described above and applying the composition to keratinous tissue
in need of
treatment. Conditions to be improved or regulated include increasing the
luminosity or "glow"
of the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and coarse deep lines, fine
lines, crevices,
bumps, and large pores; thickening of keratinous tissue (e.g., building the
epidermis and/or
dermis and/or sub-dermal layers of the skin, and where applicable the
keratinous layers of the
nail and hair shaft, to reduce skin, hair, or nail atrophy); increasing the
convolution of the
dermal-epidermal border (also known as the rete ridges); preventing loss of
skin or hair
elasticity, for example, due to loss, damage and/or inactivation of functional
skin elastin,
resulting in such conditions as elastosis, sagging, loss of skin or hair
recoil from deformation;
reduction in cellulite; change in coloration to the skin, hair, or nails, for
example, under-eye
circles, blotchiness (e.g., uneven red coloration due to, for example,
rosacea), sallowness,
discoloration caused by telangiectasia or spider vessels, dryness,
brittleness, and graying hair.
Method of Making
Personal care compositions herein may be formulated according to the following
steps.
In a suitable vessel, the oil phase (including oil-soluble ingredients)
components are combined
and mixed with a suitable mixer (e.g., Tekmar RW2ODZM) and heated with
stirring to a
temperature of about 70-80 C. and this temperature is maintained. In a
separate suitable
vessel, the water phase (including water-soluble ingredients) components are
combined and
mixed with a suitable mixer and are heated with stirring to about 70-80 C.
and this
temperature is maintained. The oil phase mixture is then added to the water
phase mixture and
mixed well so as to emulsify the combination. The emulsifier system of the oil
phase and
water phase components is allowed to cool to about 60 C. and then the
optional ingredients
are added to the emulsion with continuous mixing. The emulsion is allowed to
further cool to
about 40 C. The resulting emulsion is then milled using a suitable mill
(e.g., with a Tekmar
T-25) for about 5 minutes or until the product is uniform.
EXAMPLES
The following examples are presented to further illustrate the compositions
and
methods of this invention, but are not to be construed as limiting the
invention, which is
13

CA 02849913 2014-03-24
WO 2013/049599
PCT/US2012/057964
delineated in the appended claims. All parts and percentages in the examples
are on a weight
basis and all measurements are obtained at about 23 C, unless indicated to the
contrary.
Examples 1-IX are formed according to the following steps. The xanthan gum and

glycerin are pre-mixed in a small vessel. In a separate, larger vessel, the
aloe vera gel lx
organic and water are combined, with mixing. The xanthan gum/glycerin pre-mix
is added to
the aloe vera gel lx organic and water mixture in the larger vessel and mixed
until uniform.
The betaine and sucrose stearate are then added to the large vessel with
mixing, and the vessel
is heated to 80 degrees Celsius. Mixing continues in this vessel (water phase)
until the
contents are uniform. The methyl glucose sequisterate, helianthus annuus seed
oil and
butyrospermum parkii are added to a separate vessel with mixing and heated
until 80 degrees
(oil phase). When both the water and oil phases are uniform and the
temperature is at 80
degrees Celsius, the oil phase is slowly added to the water phase with mixing.
This combined
mixture is then homogenized for the appropriately scaled time. The batch is
then set to cool.
When the temperature of the batch reaches 30-35 degrees Celsius, Geogard 221,
Pheohydrane
G and Tocobiol are added. The batch is then mixed until uniform and cools
further to 30
degrees Celsius.

COMPARATIVE EXAMPLES
The formulation of Example I above is compared to a Comparative Samples A, B,
and
C, respectively. The Comparative Sample C, which contains no dimethicone, has
a high soap
index when applied to skin. As demonstrated below, increasing levels of
dimethicone reduce
the incidence of high soaping. The Comparative Sample A achieves parity to
Example I, with
respect to its Soapiness Index score, when it includes 3% of dimethicone. In
contrast,
Example I is free of silicone emulsifiers.
