Abstract

A soft solid antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition comprising a volatile silicone and a behenamidoalkyl dialkylamine fatty acid as a gelling agent for the volatile silicone.

Description

    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • This invention relates to the use of a behenamidoalkyl dialkylamine fatty acid (especially behenamidopropyl dimethylamine/behenic acid) as a gelling agent for a volatile silicone such as cyclomethicone for soft solid cosmetic products, especially antiperspirants and/or deodorants.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Behenamidopropyl dimethylamine/behenic acid (sold under the tradename Catemol® 220-B and available from Phoenix Chemical, Inc., Somerville, N.J.) can be classified as a cationic organic salt with a small amount of free behenic acid. Trade literature for this material describes its solubility in a variety of oils at elevated temperature and its ability to dissolve heated cyclomethicone (for example, 65-70 degrees C.) and then to form an opaque gel upon cooling with a smooth emollient feel. For water/oil systems such as makeup it reduces the shiny, oily appearance on the skin.
  • In general, soft solids are gelled or made more solid using triglycerides, clays or silicone elastomers.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,019,375 to Tanner et al describes low residue, high viscosity antiperspirant creams comprising a volatile silicone, a particulate antiperspirant, a clay thickening agent, and a non-volatile paraffinic hydrocarbon fluid.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,526,780 to Marschner et al describes anhydrous antiperspirant paste or cream compositions comprising an oil absorbent material homogeneously dispersed in a vehicle comprising 25-55% of a volatile silicone and a clay suspending/thickening agent in the form of a gel.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,225,188 to Abrutyn et al describes underarm products comprising volatile and/or non-volatile alkylmethylsiloxanes.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,718,890 to Putnam et al describes antiperspirant cream compositions comprising selected triglyceride gellants.
  • U.S. Ser. No. 10/267,544 filed Oct. 9, 2002 describes a low residue antiperspirant and/or deodorant composition in the form of an anhydrous, surfactant-free and antiseptic alcohol-free suspension exhibiting a syneresis of less than 8% and comprising: a volatile silicone; a selected silicone elastomer, an antiperspirant active; and polyethylene beads having a particle size in the range of 5-40 microns and a density in the range of 0.91-0.98 g/cm3.
  • Other references related to soft solid formulations include:
  • (a) particulate thickening agents such as fumed silica: for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,069,897 to Orr; and U.S. Pat. No. 4,937,069 to Shin; and
  • (c) selected volatile and/or non-volatile alkylmethylsiloxanes such as those including a structuring wax: for example, PCT applications WO 97/16161 and 16162 both of which are assigned to Unilever PLC.
  • The use of a class of compositions known as silicone elastomers in cosmetic compositions has shown some interesting results. PCT case WO 97/44010 and assigned to the same assignee as this application describes a silicone gel material made by combining (a) a volatile silicone material and (b) an organopolysiloxane material (or silicone elastomer) as a gelling agent wherein the organopolysiloxane material (silicone elastomer) can be a reaction product of a vinyl-terminated siloxane polymer and a silicon hydride cross-linking agent. Related technology is also disclosed in PCT publications WO 98/00097, WO 98/00104 and 98/00105 assigned to Unilever PLC on cross-linked non-emulsifying elastomers.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,599,533 to Stepniewski et al assigned to Estee Lauder describes a stable water-in-oil emulsion system formed with an organopolysiloxane elastomer, a vehicle in which the elastomer is dispersed or dispersible, a stabilizing agent, a surfactant and an aqueous component. A commercial product known as “REVELATION” retexturizing complex for hands and chest sold by the same assignee contains a silicone gel material with an organopolysiloxane component and octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane.
  • EP 0 787 758 A1 teaches a method for solvent thickening by using a silicone latex having a plurality of crosslinked polysiloxane particles.
  • Another recent case assigned to the same assignee as this application is PCT Publication WO 99/51192 and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 9/273152 which describes antiperspirant compositions with the use of broad categories of elastomers.
  • Other examples of the use of elastomer type materials and/or methods for processing such materials may be found in PCT Publications WO 98/00097; WO 98/00104; WO 98/00105; WO 98/18438; WO 98/42307 all of which are incorporated herein by reference as to elastomer materials and methods of processing such materials.
  • Two major problems have been observed when the use of elastomer materials is included in soft solid formulations. The first problem is reduction in efficacy due to the formation of an occlusive elastomeric film which prevents the active from diffusing into the sweat duct. The second problem is the consistency of the product as evidenced by high viscosity and elastic behavior when applied to the surface of the skin.
  • Thus, it is an object of the invention to provide improved cosmetic compositions with reduced syneresis.

These actives include conventional aluminum and aluminum/zirconium salts, as well as aluminum/zirconium salts complexed with a neutral amino acid such as glycine, as known in the art. See each of European Patent 0 512 770 B1 and PCT case WO 92/19221, the contents of each of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety, for disclosure of antiperspirant active materials. Suitable materials include (but are not limited to) aluminum chlorides (various types including, for example, anhydrous form, hydrated form, etc.), zirconyl hydroxychlorides, zirconyl oxychlorides, basic aluminum chlorides, basic aluminum chlorides combined with zirconyl oxychlorides and hydroxychlorides, and organic complexes of each of basic aluminum chlorides with or without zirconyl oxychlorides and hydroxychlorides and mixtures of any of the foregoing. These include, by way of example (and not of a limiting nature), aluminum chlorohydrate, aluminum chloride, aluminum sesquichlorohydrate, aluminum chlorohydrol-propylene glycol complex, zirconyl hydroxychloride, aluminum-zirconium glycine complex (for example, aluminum zirconium trichlorohydrex gly, aluminum zirconium pentachlorohydrex gly, aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex gly and aluminum zirconium octochlorohydrex gly), aluminum dichlorohydrate, aluminum chlorohydrex PG, aluminum chlorohydrex PEG, aluminum dichlorohydrex PG, aluminum dichlorohydrex PEG, aluminum zirconium trichlorohydrex gly propylene glycol complex, aluminum zirconium trichlorohydrex gly dipropylene glycol complex, aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex gly propylene glycol complex, aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex gly dipropylene glycol complex, and mixtures of any of the foregoing. The aluminum-containing materials can be commonly referred to as antiperspirant active aluminum salts. Generally, the foregoing metal antiperspirant active materials are antiperspirant active metal salts. In the embodiments which are antiperspirant compositions according to the present invention, such compositions need not include aluminum-containing metal salts, and can include other antiperspirant active materials, including other antiperspirant active metal salts. Generally, Category I active antiperspirant ingredients listed in the Food and Drug Administration's Monograph on antiperspirant drugs for over-the-counter human use can be used. In addition, any new drug, not listed in the Monograph, such as tin or titanium salts used alone or in combination with aluminum compounds (for example, aluminum-stannous chlorohydrates), aluminum nitratohydrate and its combination with zirconyl hydroxychlorides and nitrates, can be incorporated as an antiperspirant active ingredient in antiperspirant compositions according to the present invention. Preferred antiperspirant actives that can be incorporated in the compositions of the present invention include the enhanced efficacy aluminum salts and the enhanced efficacy aluminum/zirconium salt-glycine materials, having enhanced efficacy due to improved molecular distribution, known in the art and discussed, for example, in PCT No. WO92/19221, the contents of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety herein. Particular actives include Westchlor ZR 35B aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex gly (from Westwood Chemical Corporation, Middletown, N.Y.), and Rezal 36 GP and AZP 902 aluminum zirconium tetrachlorhydrex gly (both from Reheis, Berkeley Heights, N.J.) as well as Rezal AZP 908 from Reheis and aluminum zirconium tetrachlorhydrex gly (Z576 from Summit Research Labs, Huguenot, N.Y.). In general, the metal:chloride mole ratio is in the range of 2.1-0.9:1 for such salts.
  • In one particular type of salt of interest, an aluminum zirconium tetra salt with glycine is used wherein aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex glycine salt having a metal to chloride ratio in the range of 0.9-1.2:1 (especially in the range of 0.9-1.1:1 and, more particularly in the range of 0.9-1.0:1); and a glycine:zirconium mole ratio greater than 1.3:1, particularly greater than 1.4:1. This type of salt may be made in a variety of ways as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,375,937 owned by the same owner as this application.
  • Syneresis is evaluated using the method described in the Examples.
  • Soft solid antiperspirant products may be created in accordance with this invention.
  • Gels, pastes and creams (which are also known as soft-solids or semi-solids) can be suitably packaged in containers which have the appearance of a stick, but which dispense through apertures (for example, slots or pores) on the top surface of the package. These products have been called soft sticks or “smooth-ons”. Reference is made to U.S. Pat. No. 5,102,656 to Kasat, U.S. Pat. No. 5,069,897 to Orr, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,937,069 to Shin.
  • A representative composition which can be dispensed through apertures is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,102,656 to Kasat. This disclosed composition is a creamy, heterogeneous anhydrous antiperspirant product containing, in percent by weight, of the total weight of the composition, 30%-70% of a volatile silicone as a carrier, 7-30% of a suitable gelling agent or agents, and about 12-30% of a physiologically acceptable antiperspirant agent. This patent discloses that the gelling agent can be any of a number of materials, including, for example, hydrogenated vegetable oil, hydrogenated castor oil, fatty acids having from 14 to 36 carbon atoms, beeswax, paraffin wax, fatty alcohols having from 14 to 24 carbon atoms, polyethylene and the like.
  • Compositions according to the present invention can be made by mixing the silicone with the gelling agent or viscosity modifier, the antiperspirant active ingredient and optionally one or more of emollient(s), thickener(s) and fragrance. Mixing conditions and the amount of heating will depend on what types of materials are being combined. For soft solid/cream products made with waxes with a melting point in the range of 60-85 degrees C. temperatures from 60 to 85 degrees C. should be used. The mixture can be introduced into dispensing containers known to those skilled in the art. In one particular example, slotted dispensers may be used such as those known in the art, for example, those having a parallel row or rows of straight or curved slots or holes with a screw mechanism for forcing the composition through the top as the product is used.
  • The types of packaging used for dispensing such products (usually by rubbing the product under the arm in the axillary region) are well known. Where the dispensing containers have a top surface with slots therein, the composition can be rubbed onto the skin from the top surface of the container (itself fed from a reservoir of product in the container) so as to deposit an adequate amount of the cosmetic composition on to the skin. The cosmetic composition, for example, an antiperspirant and/or deodorant in the form of a soft solid, can be extruded from inside the dispensing container through the slots or holes onto the top of the surface of the dispensing container, and from there may be applied to the skin in the axillary regions to deposit sufficient amounts of antiperspirant and/or deodorant active material to reduce body malodor and/or reduce perspiration in axillary regions of the human body.

    • Examples 1-6 Soft Solid
  • Formulation—Using the types and amounts of ingredients listed in TABLE A, 300 gram samples are made. Cyclomethicone (D5 cyclomethicone as DC 345 from Dow Corning Corp., Midland, Mich.) and C12-15 alkyl benzoate (FINSOLV TN from Finetex Inc., Elmwood Park, N.J.). are placed in a 500 ml beaker. This mixture (which also may be viewed as solvents) is heated to a temperature in the range of 65-70 degrees C. and the behenamidopropyl dimethyl amine behenate (CATEMOL® 220-B from Phoenix Chemical, Inc., Somerville, N.J.) is added with stirring using a Lightnin' Mixer (Model DS1010 from Harington-Robb, Moorestown, N.J.) until the material is dissolved. PEG-8 distearate is then added and stirring is continued until it is dissolved. The beaker as the reaction vessel is then heated to a temperature in the range of 75-80 degrees C. and the castor oil is added and stirred until dissolved. The reaction vessel is cooled to 75 degrees C. and the antiperspirant active (AZP 908 from Reheis) and the hydrophilic silica (CABOSIL M-5 from Cabot Corp., Tuscola, Ill.) (if used) are each added sequentially. The mixture is stirred for 15 minutes and then cooled to 70-72 degrees C. The fragrance is then added and the mixture is poured at 70-72 degrees C. into appropriate containers such as those known in the art for use with soft solids (ovoid packages, for example, 10 cm height×6 cm width at longer axis×4 cm width at shorter axis for oval, with multiple openings as holes or parallel slots in the top of the package sufficient in size to allow for product to be extruded through the opening (for example 2-5 mm) as pressure is applied, such as by a turning means at the bottom of the package). In TABLE A all amounts are in % by weight based on the entire weight of the composition.
  • Syneresis—Samples (10 grams) of soft solids made in Examples 14 are placed into 25 gram vials. The samples are placed in an oven at 50 degrees C. for 3 days. The samples are then removed from the oven, cooled for 1 hour, and centrifuged for 20 minutes at 4000 rpm (Beckman-Coulter ALLEGRA™ 6 centrifuge). Any residual solvent is then removed with a disposable plastic pipette and weighed. Percent syneresis is calculated using the following formula:
    (weight of solvent removed with pipette)×100/initial weight of sample
  • The results are in TABLE A.
  • Reflectance Measurement L*)—In order to evaluate whiteness residue, the L* value was determined using a Hunter Lab Reflectometer (Hunter Associates Inc., Reston, Va.). This equipment utilizes a three-axis opponent scale system, based on the theory that color is perceived by black-white L), red-green (a) and yellow-blue (b) sensations. If, for example, a fabric undergoes a washing treatment, then a +ΔL indicates that the sample is lighter or whiter in color, a +Δa indicates a redder or less green sample, and +Δb value indicates a yellower or less blue sample. If the signs are negative, the corresponding color changes are darker, greener and bluer, respectively. For prediction of whiteness residue on skin of antiperspirant products, only the L* value is used. In the methodology developed here, a sample (0.20 gram) of an antiperspirant product is applied to a 5.5 cm diameter black cover (from a 113.5 gram, 4 ounce jar). The product is spread evenly with a finger cot and the cover is reweighed to a final weight of 0.17 gram. L*, a,b values are measured using the Hunter Lab Reflectometer and the L* value is used to determine whiteness level. The higher the number the whiter the surface and the greater the residue. The L* values are in TABLE A.
