Cosmetic Com~ositions
Technical Field
The present invention relates to skin- and hair-care cosrnetic compositions. In
particular it relates to cosmetic compositions in the form of aqueous gels or
lotions which provide improved moisturization, skin feiel and skin care benefits,
reduced taok and residu~ characteristics together with excellent visual clarity,rub-in and absorption characteristics.
,.
Background of the Inv~ntion
Skin is made up of several layers of cells which coat and protec~ the keratin
and collagen fibrous proteins that form the skelaton of its structure. The
outermost of these layers, referred to as the stratum corneum, is known to be
composed of 25nm protein bundles surrounded; by 8nm thick layers. Anionic
surfactants and organic solvents typically penetrate the stratum corneum
membrane and, by delipidlzation (i.e. removal of the lipids from the stratum
- corneum), destroy its integrity. This destruction of the skin surface topography
leads to a rough feei and may ~eventually permit the surfactant or so~lvent to
interact with the keratin, creating irritation.

It ~is now recogniscd that maintaining the proper wàter gradient across~ the
stratum corneum is impor ant~to its functiona!ity.~ ~ Most of this water, which is
sometimes considered to be the stratum corneum's p!asticizer, comes from
inside the body. If the humidity is too low, such as~in a cold climate, '
insufficient water remains in the outer layèrs of the stratum corneum to ~ '
properly plasticize the tissuè,~and the skin begins to scale and becomes itchy.
Skin permeability is also~decreiased somewhat when there i9 inadequate water
across the stratum corneum. ;On ;the othet hand, too much water on the
outside of the skin causes the stratum corneum to ultirnately sorb three to fivetimes its own weight; of bound water. This swells~;and puckers the skin~ and
results in approximately~a~two to three fold increase in the permeability of thesi~in to water and other polar molecules.

Hair consists of many of the same cons~i~uents as~ the stratum correum.~ The~
outermos~ region of-cells ~forms; a~rather thick~chemically~ resistant protective
coating 0nclosing the~hair~fibre~which ~is called the~cuticle. The surfa~e of the
;cuticle is covered~with~a~thin~laye~r~called the epicuticle which is thought~to

WO 93/24101 2 1 3 ~ 3 1 ~J P(~/US~3/04038 '',~


contain lipids and protein. The cuticie envelopes the cortex cells which
comprise the major part of the fibre mass. Keratinization takes place in the
cortex to build stability into the hair structure.

Thus, a need exists for compositions which will assist the stratum corn~um and
hair cutiole in maintaining their barrier and water-retention tunctions at optimum
performance in spite of deleterious interactions which the skin and hair may
encounter in washing, work, and recreation.
:
Conventional cosmetic cream and iotion compositions as described, for
example, in Sagarin, Cosmetics Science anci Technology, 2nd Edition, Vol.l,
Wiley Interscience ~1972) and Encyclopaedia of Chemical T~chnology, Third
Edition, Volume 7 are known to provide varying degreés of emolliency, barrier
and water-retention (moisturizing) benefits. However, they can also suffer
serious negatives in terms of skin feel ~i.e. they often feel very greasy bn theskin) as well as having poor rub-in, absorption and residue characteristics. In
the case of hair-care compositions they can also suffer from resoiling
negatives.

T he present invention therefore provides skin- and hair-care cosmetic
compositions which provide improvements in moisturization, absorption,
residue, tackiness, skin feel and skin care characteristics and which in
particular provide improveci short and lon~er tèrm mois~urizing effectiveness,
while at the same time avoiding depositing oily residues on the skin.

The viscosit~ can be measured by means of a glass capillary viscometer as set
forth in Dow Corning Corporate Test Method CTM0004, July 29, 1970.
Preferably the viscosity ranges from about 3500 mm2.s~1 to about 100,000
mm2,S~
The most preferred silicone component for use herein is a dimethiconol gum
having a molecular weight of from a~out~ 240,000 to about 260,000 along vvith
a silicone carrier with a ~iscosity of about 5 mm2.s~1. An example of this
silicone component is Dow Q2-14:)3 fluid ~85% 5 mm2.s~1 Dimethyl Fluid/~5%
Dimethiconol) available from Dow Corning. ~ ~

A number o~ additionai water-soluble materials can be added to the
compositions of the invention. A highly preferred additional ingredien~ from theviewpoint of skin feel and tack reduction is a fluid copolymer of ethylene oxideand propylene oxide having a viscosity in the range of from 5~ to 300,000

WO 93/24101 P~/US93/0403~ ''~' .''
213~.~1.3

Saybolt Universal Seconds [S.U.S.l, preferably from 100 to 2,000 S.U.S. at
38~C, for example Ucon Fluid 75-H 450.

Another optional but preferred ingredien~ of the compnsitions of the invention is
trimethylglycine, otherwise sometimes known as betaine. Trim0thylg!ycine is
valuable herein from the viewpoint of providing improved skin feel and tack
reduction. In the present compositions, trimethylglycine is preferably present
at a level of from about 1% to about 10% by weight, preferably from about
3% to about 7% by weight.

The compositions of the invention can also contain from about 0.1% to about
10%, preferably from about 1% to about 5% of a panthenol moisturizer. The
panthenol moisturizer can be selected from D-pan~henol ([Rl-2,4-dihydroxy-N-
[3-hydroxypropyl)]-3,3-dimethylbutamide), DL-panthenol, calcium pantothenate,
royal jelly, panthetine, pantotheine, panthenyl ethyl ether, pangamic acid,
pyridoxin, pantoyl lactose and Vitamin B complex. Highly preferred from the
viewpoint of skin care and tack reduction is D-panthenol. ~

The compositions of the present invention can additionally comprise from about
0.001% to about 0.5%, preferably from about 0.002% to about 0.05%, more
preferably from about 0.005% to about 0.02% by weight of
carboxymethylchitin. Chitin is a polysaccharide which is present in ~he
integument of lobsters and crabs and is a mucopolysacGharide having beta (1-
4) linkages of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. Carboxyrnethylchitin is prepared by
treating th~ purifie~ chitin material with alkali~followed by monochloracetic
acid. It is sold commercially in the form of a dilute (approximately 0.1 % to
0~5% by wei~ht) aqueous solution under the name Chitin Liquid available from
A & E Connock Ltd., Fordingbridge, Hampshire, England.

Oth~r optional materials include keratolytic agents such as salicylic acid;
proteins and polypeptides ~nd derivatives thereof; water-soluble or solubilizable
preservatives such as Germall 115, methyl,~ethyi, propvl and butyl esters of
hydroxybenzoic acid, EDTA, Euxyl (RTM~ K~OO, Bromopol ~2-bromo-2-
nitropropane-1,3-diol) and phenoxypropanol; anti-bacterials such as Irgasan
~RTM) and phenoxyethanol (preferabty at levels of frorn 0.2% to about 5%):
soluble or colloidally solubi~ moisturising agents such as hvlaronic acid and
starch-graftad sodium polyacrylates such as Sanwet (RTM) IM-1000, IM-1500
and IM-2500 available from Ceianese Superabsorbent Materials, Portsmith, VA,

USA and described in USA-A-4,076,663; colouring agents; perfumes and
perfume solubilizers etc. Water is also present at a level of from about 50% to
about 99~2%, preferably from about 80% to about 95% by weight of the <:
compositions herein.

The pH of the compositions is preferably from about 4 to about 9, more
preferably from about 4.5 to about 7, the pH being controlled where necessary
through the use of pH buffers such as cilric acid/scdium ci~rate.
