(en)The present invention relates to the use of at least one caprolactam derivative of formula (I) below: in which: n=0 or 1; m=0 or 1; p=0 to 13; R 1 is a linear or branched alkyl radical comprising a number t of carbon atoms of from 1 to 20; subject to the following conditions: (i) when p=0, m=0, (ii) when p=1 and n=1, m=1, (iii) when p=1 and n=0, m=0 and R 1 denotes a C 2 -C 20 alkyl radical; with the proviso that the sum of p+t is between 3 and 20, in a composition comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, at least one liquid fatty phase and at least one lipophilic active agent, and containing no dibenzoylmethane-type UV screening agent, as a solvent for said active agent in said liquid fatty phase and/or as an agent improving the solubility of said active agent in the solid fatty phase. The present invention also relates to a composition comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, at least one liquid fatty phase, characterized in that it comprises at least one caprolactam derivative of formula (I) as defined above and in that it does not contain a dibenzoylmethane-type UV screening agent.

7.Description:
(en)The present invention relates to the use of at least one specific caprolactam derivative of formula (I), whose definition will be given hereinafter, in a composition comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, at least one liquid fatty phase and at least one lipophilic active agent, and containing no dibenzoylmethane-type UV screening agent, as a solvent for said active agent in said liquid fatty phase and/or as an agent improving the solubility of said active agent in the solid fatty phase.
The present invention is concerned more particularly with a composition comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, at least one liquid fatty phase, characterized in that it comprises at least one specific caprolactam derivative of formula (I) and at least one lipophilic active agent and does not contain a dibenzoylmethane-type UV screening agent.
Many cosmetic or dermatological products are provided in various formulating forms comprising a liquid fatty phase, such as dispersions, oily lotions, oil/water, water/oil or multiple emulsions, or cream gels. Certain cosmetic or dermatological active agents that are particularly advantageous, such as lipophilic organic screening agents that are not readily soluble in the oily phase of these formulations, have a tendency, during storage, to form crystals or to precipitate, in particular in emulsions. Such phenomena are undesirable from the point of view of stability of the formulation and/or with respect to consumer comfort, insofar as they can destabilize the composition and/or affect the aesthetic appearance of the product and/or lead to cosmetic discomfort upon application to the skin and/or the hair, or else to the concentration of active agents being limited in these formulas, which means that products that are sufficiently effective cannot be obtained.
This is the case in particular with care formulations containing low-solubility lipophilic active agents such as the active agents chosen from aminophenol derivatives, salicylic acid derivatives, 2-amino-4-alkylaminopyrimidine 3-oxide derivatives, in particular 2-amino-4-dodecylaminopyrimidine 3-oxide, DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone), chemical derivatives and precursors thereof, such as 7-hydroxy- or 7-keto-DHEA, or else 3β-acetoxy-7-keto-DHEA, cholesterol and esters thereof, plant sterols such as phytosterols and sitosterols and esters thereof, pentacyclic triterpene acids, hydroxystilbenes, flavonoids, lipophilic organic UV screening agents in antisun formulations, retinol and derivatives thereof, carotenoids such as lycopene, and also fragrances, essential oils, hormones, vitamins, in particular vitamin E, ceramides, or mixtures thereof.
In particular, antisun compositions are often in the form of an oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion, of gels or of anhydrous products which contain, at various concentrations, one or more lipophilic and/or hydrophilic, insoluble and/or soluble, organic and/or inorganic screening agents, capable of selectively absorbing harmful UV radiation. These screening agents and the amounts thereof are selected according to the desired protection factor. Depending on whether they are lipophilic or, conversely, hydrophilic in nature, these screening agents can disperse, respectively, either into the fatty phase or into the aqueous phase of the final composition.
Lipophilic screening agents are in common use in suncare formulations. For some of them, however, their photoprotective power when formulated is quite limited in the usual cosmetic carriers containing oils, such as oxyethylenated or oxypropylenated fatty (mono/poly) alcohols (“Cetiol HE” from Henkel or “Witconol APM” from Witco) or else fatty esters such as C 12 -C 15 alcohol benzoate (“Finsolv TN” from Finetex), fatty acid triglycerides, for example Miglyol® 812 sold by the company Dynamit Nobel, or amino acid derivatives (“Eldew SL205” from Ajinomoto), because the solubility of these screening agents when formulated in these commonly used oils is insufficient. The result of this is: either the appearance over time of crystallization in the formulas, which is detrimental to the good quality, stability and effectiveness of the antisun products; or the fact that the concentration of screening agents in the formulas has to be limited, thereby making it impossible to obtain sufficiently effective products.
There exists therefore the need to find novel solvents for effectively dissolving lipophilic active agents and especially lipophilic screening agents in order to enhance their solubility in the oils and the carriers of cosmetic or dermatological formulations containing them, without the drawbacks listed above.
It is known that certain caprolactam derivatives have been used as a light stabilizer agent for dibenzoylmethane-type UV screening agents, from unpublished French Patent Application No. 0853102.
Now, the applicant has just discovered, surprisingly, a new family of effective solvents consisting of specific caprolactam derivatives of formula (I), the definition of which will be given hereinafter, which make it possible to achieve this objective. These compounds can be incorporated into many cosmetic products.
This discovery forms the basis of the present invention.


The present invention relates to the use of at least one specific caprolactam derivative of formula (I), whose definition will be given hereinafter, in a composition comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, at least one liquid fatty phase and at least one lipophilic active agent, and containing no dibenzoylmethane-type UV screening agent, as a solvent for said active agent in said liquid fatty phase and/or as an agent improving the solubility of said active agent in said fatty phase.
The present invention is concerned more particularly with a composition comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, at least one liquid fatty phase, characterized in that it comprises at least one specific caprolactam derivative of formula (I) and at least one lipophilic active agent and in that it does not contain a dibenzoylmethane-type UV screening agent.
The present invention also relates to the use of at least one caprolactam derivative of formula (I) in a composition comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, at least one liquid fatty phase and at least one lipophilic active agent, and containing no dibenzoylmethane-type UV screening agent, for the purpose of improving the effectiveness of said active agent and/or the cosmetic qualities and/or the stability of said composition.
The present invention likewise relates to the use of at least one caprolactam derivative of formula (I) in a composition comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, at least one liquid fatty phase and at least one organic UV screening agent, and containing no dibenzoylmethane-type UV screening agent, for the purpose of improving the sun protection factor.
Other characteristics, aspects and advantages of the invention will become apparent upon reading the detailed description which follows.
The term “cosmetically acceptable” is intended to mean compatible with the skin and/or its epidermal derivatives, which has a pleasant colour, smell and feel and which does not generate any unacceptable discomfort (stinging, tautness, redness) that may dissuade the consumer from using this composition.
For the purpose of the present invention, the term “liquid fatty phase” is intended to mean a fatty phase which is liquid at ambient temperature (25° C.) and atmospheric pressure (760 mmHg), composed of one or more fatty substances that are liquid at ambient temperature, also known as oils, and that are compatible with one another.
The term “lipophilic active agent” is intended to mean any cosmetic or dermatological active agent that is capable of being completely dissolved in the molecular state in a liquid fatty phase or else of being solubilized in colloidal form (for example, in micellar form) in a liquid fatty phase.
The term “low-solubility lipophilic active agent” is intended to mean any organic cosmetic or dermatological active agent which has a solubility in water of less than 0.5% by weight and a solubility of less than 10% by weight in the majority of organic solvents such as liquid paraffin, fatty alcohol benzoates and fatty acid triglycerides, for example Miglyol® 812 sold by the company Dynamit Nobel. This solubility, realized at 70° C., is defined as being the amount of product in solution in the solvent at equilibrium with an excess of solid in suspension after a return to ambient temperature. It can be readily evaluated in the laboratory.
The caprolactam derivatives in accordance with the invention are chosen from those corresponding to general formula (I) below:









in which:

n=0 or 1;

m=0 or 1;

p=0 to 13;

R 1 is a linear or branched alkyl radical comprising a number t of carbon atoms of from 1 to 20; subject to the following conditions:

(i) when p=0, m=0,

(ii) when p=1 and n=1, m=1,

(iii) when p=1 and n=0, m=0 and R 1 denotes a C 2 -C 20 alkyl radical;

with the proviso that the sum of p+t is between 3 and 20.

Among the compounds of formula (I), use will be made more particularly of
a) the compounds conforming to the general formula (I) in which n=m=1, and p=1-2 (alkyl ester chain);

In one particular form of the invention, the derivative or derivatives of formula (I) in accordance with the invention are present in an amount sufficient to solubilize by itself or by themselves (without the need to use another solvent) the total amount of lipophilic active agent(s) present in the composition.
According to another particular form of the invention, the derivative or derivatives of formula (I) in accordance with the invention constitute the sole solvent of the lipophilic active agent(s). In that case the liquid fatty phase may be composed of the derivative or derivatives of formula (I) and the lipophilic active agent or agents dissolved in said phase.

This solubility, realized at 70° C., is defined as being the amount of product in solution in the solvent at equilibrium with an excess of solid in suspension after a return to ambient temperature. It can be readily evaluated in the laboratory.
The low-solubility lipophilic active agents in accordance with the invention may also be selected from aminophenol derivatives, salicylic acid derivatives, N,N′-di(arylmethylene)ethylenediaminetriacetate derivatives, 2-amino-4-alkylaminopyrimidine 3-oxide derivatives, flavonoids, retinol and derivatives thereof, carotenoids such as lycopene, and also fragrances, essential oils, hormones, vitamins, especially vitamin E, ceramides, or mixtures thereof.
The aminophenol derivatives used are more particularly the derivatives of formula (I) below:









in which R′ is a radical chosen from the group made up of the following radicals (a), (b) and (c):
(a) —CO—NR 1 R 2
(b) —CO—O—R 3
(c) —SO 2 R 3
where R 1 represents a hydrogen atom or an optionally hydroxylated, saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched C 1 to C 6 alkyl radical,

R 2 represents a hydrogen atom or a radical chosen from saturated or unsaturated, linear, cyclic or branched C 12 to C 30 alkyl radicals, which is optionally hydroxylated, and

R 3 represents a radical chosen from saturated or unsaturated, linear, cyclic or branched, including fused polycyclic, C 12 to C 30 alkyl radicals, which are optionally hydroxylated.

In formula (I), among the linear or branched R 2 or R 3 radicals containing from 1 to 30 carbon atoms, mention may advantageously be made of methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, tert-butyl, hexyl, octyl, nonyl, 2-ethylhexyl, dodecyl, hexadecyl, behenyl, octadecyl and 2-butyloctyl radicals. These radicals preferably contain from 1 to 12 carbon atoms. Even more preferably, the alkyl radical generally contains from 1 to 6 carbon atoms. As a lower alkyl radical, mention may be made of methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, tert-butyl and hexyl radicals.
When it is unsaturated, a radical having one or more ethylenic unsaturations, such as more particularly the allyl radical, is preferred.
When the alkyl radical is cyclic, mention may in particular be made of the cyclohexyl, cholesteryl or tert-butylcyclohexyl radical.
When it is hydroxylated, the radical preferably contains from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and from 1 to 5 hydroxyl groups. Among monohydroxyalkyl radicals, a radical preferably containing 1 or 3 carbon atoms, in particular the hydroxymethyl, 2-hydroxyethyl, 2-hydroxypropyl or 3-hydroxypropyl radical, is preferred.
Among polyhydroxyalkyl radicals, a radical containing from 3 to 6 carbon atoms and from 2 to 5 hydroxyl groups, such as the 2,3-dihydroxypropyl, 2,3,4-trihydroxybutyl, 2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxypentyl or 2,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxyhexyl radical, is preferred.
The alkoxylated radicals are alkyl radicals, as in particular described above, preceded by an oxygen atom.
Preferably, the aminophenol derivatives used in the present application are those for which at least one and preferably all of the conditions below are met:
the —OH function on the phenyl radical is in the ortho-position or, advantageously, in the para-position,

R′ is chosen from a radical of formulae (a) or (b). Among the linear or branched alkyl radicals R 1 , mention may be made of methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, tert-butyl or hexyl radicals.
The aminophenol derivative preferably used in said composition is a para-aminophenol derivative; even more preferably, it is N-ethoxycarbonyl-4-para-aminophenol of formula (1a):









or else N-cholesteryloxycarbonyl-4-para-aminophenol of formula (1b):









These aminophenol derivatives, and the process for preparing them, are described in Patent Applications WO 99/10318 and WO 99/32077.
These derivatives have a more or less long hydrocarbon chain, preferably alkoxycarbonyl chain, attached to the nitrogen atom. They have the drawback of being soluble poorly, or even not at all, in water or in the fatty phase of the type used in the present application. Their introduction into cosmetic compositions requires, as regards the compounds with a short hydrocarbon chain, them to be solubilized in an aqueous-alcoholic solution, which is not always desirable when the composition is intended, for example, to be applied around the eyes.
As for the compounds with a long hydrocarbon chain, they are insoluble in oils, owing to their steric bulk, and have a tendency to recrystallize from water.
The compositions according to the present invention comprising such an aminophenol derivative can be used as a depigmenting or bleaching agent in a cosmetic and/or dermatological composition.
The salicylic acid derivatives are the derivatives of formula (2):









in which

R″ 1 represents a hydroxyl radical or an ester of formula

—O—CO—R″ 4

in which R″ 4 is a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic radical containing from 1 to 26 carbon atoms, and preferably from 1 to 18 carbon atoms, or an amine or thiol function optionally substituted with an alkyl radical containing from 1 to 18 carbon atoms, and preferably from 1 to 12 carbon atoms,

R″ 2 and R″ 3 , independently of one another, are in the 3-, 4-, 5- or 6-position on the benzene ring and represent, independently of one another, a hydrogen atom or a radical:

—(O) n —(CO) m —R″ 5

in which n and m, independently of one another, are each an integer equal to 0 or 1, provided that R″ 2 and R″ 3 are not simultaneously hydrogen atoms,

and R″ 5 represents a hydrogen, a linear, branched or cyclized, saturated aliphatic radical containing from 1 to 18 carbon atoms, or an unsaturated radical containing from 3 to 18 carbon atoms, bearing one to nine conjugated or unconjugated double bonds, it being possible for the radicals to be substituted with at least one substituent chosen from halogen atoms (fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine), the following radicals: trifluoromethyl, hydroxyl in free form or esterified with an acid containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or carboxyl in free form or esterified with a lower alcohol containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or an aromatic radical containing from 6 to 10 carbon atoms.

Preferably, the salicylic acid derivative is such that R″ 5 represents a saturated aliphatic radical containing from 3 to 15 carbon atoms.
Preferably, the salicylic acid derivative is such that R″ 1 represents a hydroxyl radical.
Preferably, the salicylic acid derivative is such that R″ 5 is in the 5-position on the benzene ring and R″ 2 represents a hydrogen atom.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the salicylic acid derivatives are derivatives of 5-n-octanoylsalicylic acid, 5-n-decanoylsalicylic acid, 5-n-dodecanoylsalicylic acid, 5-n-octylsalicylic acid, 5-n-heptyloxysalicylic acid, 4-n-heptyloxysalicylic acid, 5-tert-octylsalicylic acid, 3-tert-butyl-5-methylsalicylic acid, 3-tert-butyl-6-methylsalicylic acid, 3,5-diisopropylsalicylic acid, 5-butoxysalicylic acid, 5-octyloxysalicylic acid, 5-propanoylsalicylic acid, 5-n-hexadecanoylsalicylic acid, 5-n-oleoylsalicylic acid, 5-benzoylsalicylic acid, monovalent and divalent salts thereof, and mixtures thereof.
Very particular preference is given to employing the 2-hydroxy-5-octanoylbenzoic acid available for sale under the trade name Mexoryl SAB by the company Chimex; it corresponds to the following formula:









It is known practice to use salicylic acid derivatives in topical compositions, for example, as a keratolytic agent for treating acne or as an anti-ageing agent; Patent Applications FR-A-2 581 542 and EP-A-378 936 describe such derivatives.
Salicylic acid derivatives are highly advantageous in particular for preventing or repairing the principal manifestations of skin ageing, namely fine lines and wrinkles, disruption of the “grain” of the skin, modification of the complexion of the skin and loss of firmness and of tonicity of the skin. However, the use of these derivatives poses a problem insofar as, when they are introduced without modification into topical compositions, they do not solubilize and remain in the crystalline state, rendering the use of the composition containing them ineffective for the treatment of the skin.
Generally, these derivatives are solubilized in lower alcohols, such as ethanol or isopropanol, or solvents such as octyldodecanol, certain glycols, or short-chain (less than C 12 ) fatty alcohols. However, these lower alcohols have the drawback of drying out and irritating the skin; it is therefore preferred to avoid using them in body and/or facial care products. In addition, these solubilizing agents can only be introduced in small amounts otherwise they may impair the cosmetic qualities (drying out of the skin) and the stability of the compositions containing them.
The concentration of salicylic acid derivatives of the composition according to the present invention is preferably from 0.001% to 15% by weight, more preferably from 0.1% to 5% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition. The amount of amino acid esters will depend on the amount of salicylic acid derivatives to be solubilized. It may be from 0.01% to 90% by weight, and preferably between 0.1% and 60% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition.
The composition according to the invention comprising at least one salicylic derivative can be used as a cosmetic or dermatological composition, and in particular for caring for, protecting, cleansing and/or making up keratin materials of human beings (skin, lips, keratin fibres such as the hair and eyelashes), and in particular for combating the signs of skin ageing and/or for smoothing facial and/or body skin and/or for treating wrinkles and fine lines of the skin and/or for stimulating the process of epidermal renewal and/or for depigmenting or bleaching the skin and/or for treating acne and/or for treating skin disorders.
These derivatives and their preparation process are described in patent WO 94/11338.
The derivatives of the 2-amino-4-alkylamino-pyrimidine 3-oxide family are the derivatives of general formula (3):









in which R 4 represents an alkyl group containing from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and Z′ represents a hydrogen atom or an —OR 5 radical in which R 5 represents an alkyl group containing from 1 to 12 carbon atoms, and also its acylated forms or its addition salts with acids.
Preferably, R 4 is chosen from the group made up of hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl, undecyl and dodecyl radicals.
Preferably, R 5 is chosen from the group made up of ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl and hexyl radicals.
More preferably, the compound is 2-amino-4-dodecylaminopyrimidine 3-oxide.
The derivatives of the 2-amino-4-alkylaminopyrimidine 3-oxide family can in particular be used in or for the preparation of a cosmetic or dermatological composition in accordance with the present invention for preventing and treating problems associated with sensitive skin and skin disturbances such as skin discomfort, tautness of the skin, skin itching, skin swelling, redness of the skin and heat sensation of the skin.
Another family of molecules which comes under the definition of molecules with low water-solubility is DHEA, its derivatives and its chemical or metabolic precursors.
DHEA, or dehydroepiandrosterone, also known as 3-beta-hydroxyandrost-5-en-17-one, or dehydroisoandrosterone, but also trans-dehydroandrosterone or prasterone, has the formula:









The expression “DHEA precursors to which the invention relates” is intended to mean its biological precursors which are capable of being converted to DHEA during metabolism, and also its chemical precursors which can be converted to DHEA by exogenous chemical reaction.
Examples of biological precursors are Δ5-pregnenolone, 17α-hydroxypregnenolone and 17α-hydroxypregnenolone sulphate, without this list being limiting.
The expression “chemical precursors of DHEA” is intended to mean in particular saponins and their derivatives such as hecogenin ((3beta, 5alpha, 23r)-3-hydroxyspirostan-12-one) and hecogenin acetate, diosgenin (5-spirosten-3-beta-ol), smilagenin and sarsapogenin, and also natural extracts containing them, in particular fenugreek and extracts of Dioscorea plants such as wild yam root, without this list being limiting.
The term “DHEA derivatives” is intended to mean both its metabolic derivatives and its chemical derivatives. As metabolic derivatives, mention may in particular be made of Δ5-androstene-3,17-diol, and in particular 5-androstene-3β, 17β-diol, Δ4-androstene-3,17-dione, 7-hydroxy-DHEA (7α-hydroxy-DHEA or 7β-hydroxy-DHEA) and 7-keto-DHEA, which is itself a metabolite of 7β-hydroxy-DHEA, without this list being limiting.
7α-Hydroxy-DHEA is, with 5-androstene-3β, 17β-diol, a major metabolite of DHEA, obtained by the action of 7α-hydroxylase on DHEA. 7β-Hydroxy-DHEA is a minor metabolite of DHEA, obtained by the action of 7β-hydroxylase on DHEA.
The 7-hydroxy-DHEA preferably used in the compositions according to the present invention is 7α-hydroxy-DHEA. A process for preparing this compound is described in Patent Applications FR 2 771 105 and WO 94/08588.
As chemical derivatives of DHEA, mention may also be made of DHEA salts, and in particular water-soluble salts such as DHEA sulphate; DHEA esters such as esters of hydrocarboxylic acids and of DHEA, in particular those described in U.S. Pat.

The compositions according to the invention may be prepared according to the techniques well known to a person skilled in the art. They may be in particular in the form of a simple or complex (O/W, W/O, O/W/O or W/O/W) emulsion such as a cream, a milk or a cream-gel; in the form of an aqueous gel; or in the form of a lotion. They may also be packaged in an aerosol and be in the form of a foam or spray.
Preferably, the compositions according to the invention are in the form of an oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion.
The emulsions generally contain at least one emulsifier chosen from amphoteric, anionic, cationic or non-ionic emulsifiers, used alone or as a mixture.

Procedure:
The aqueous phase (phase B) containing all of its ingredients is heated at 80° C. on a water bath. The fatty phase (phase A) containing all of its ingredients is heated at 80° C. on a water bath. A is emulsified in B with stirring using a rotor-stator (apparatus from Moritz). Phase C is incorporated and the mixture is allowed to return to ambient temperature with moderate stirring. Triethanolamine is introduced so as to adjust the pH to the value desired at the end of manufacture. The antisun emulsions obtained are stable on storage and do not exhibit any crystals or precipitates.
