Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 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
[0002] Behenamidopropyl dimethylamine/behenic acid (sold under the
tradename Catemol.RTM. 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.
[0003] In general, soft solids are gelled or made more solid using
triglycerides, clays or silicone elastomers.
[0004] 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.
[0005] 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.
[0006] U.S. Pat. No. 5,225,188 to Abrutyn et al describes underarm
products comprising volatile and/or non-volatile
alkylmethylsiloxanes.
[0007] U.S. Pat. No. 5,718,890 to Putnam et al describes
antiperspirant cream compositions comprising selected triglyceride
gellants.
[0008] 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/cm.sup.3.
[0009] Other references related to soft solid formulations
include:
[0010] (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
[0011] (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.
[0012] 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.
[0013] 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.
[0014] EP 0 787 758 A1 teaches a method for solvent thickening by
using a silicone latex having a plurality of crosslinked
polysiloxane particles.
[0015] 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.
[0016] 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.
[0017] 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.
[0018] Thus, it is an object of the invention to provide improved
cosmetic compositions with reduced syneresis. It is a further
object to provide soft solid antiperspirant/deodorant products that
have low residue, especially on clothing. It is yet another object
to provide a soft solid that is made with gelled cyclomethicone and
cationic organic salts. These and other objects of the invention
will be apparent from the following description of the
invention.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0019] The invention comprises the use of a behenamidoalkyl
dialkylamine fatty acid (especially behenamidopropyl
dimethylamine/behenic acid) as a unique gelling agent for soft
solid compositions, especially antiperspirants/deodorants. The use
of this gelling agent with a volatile silicone such as
cyclomethicone results in reducing or eliminating syneresis.
Behenamidoalkyl dialkylamine fatty acid can be represented by
Formula I:
CH.sub.3(CH.sub.2).sub.20--C(O)--N(R.sup.1)--(CH.sub.2).sub.n--N.sup.+(R.-
sup.2)(R.sup.3)--H*X.sup.-1 Formula I wherein: [0020] R.sup.1.dbd.H
or methyl, particularly H; [0021] n is an average and =3-5,
particularly 3; [0022] R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 may be the same or
different and are each independently selected from the group
consisting of methyl and ethyl, particularly methyl; and [0023]
X.sup.-1=an anion which is ##STR1## [0024] where p is a number in
the range of 20-28.
[0025] A particular material of Formula I is behenamidopropyl
dimethylamine/behenic acid which is sold as Catemol.RTM. 220-B
wherein R.sup.1.dbd.H, n=3, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are each methyl;
and X.sup.-1 is ##STR2## This material is a solid.

the total amount of all gelling agents used);
[0029] (c) 0.1-10 weight % of a co-gellant which is wax with a

(b) is the sole gelling agent);
[0030] (d) 1-20 weight % of an emollient;
[0031] (e) 5-25 weight % of a powdered antiperspirant active;

dimethylamine/behenic acid in the composition is less than 10
weight %), an additional ingredient which is an inert particulate
material selected from the group consisting of hydrophobic silica
(such as Aerosil--R974 from Degussa, Parsippany, N.J.), hydrophilic

[0036] Emollients are a known class of materials in this art,
imparting a soothing effect to the skin. These are ingredients
which help to maintain the soft, smooth, and pliable appearance of

acids can be esterified with glycerin to yield mono-, di-, and
triglycerides. These are relatively pure fats which differ only
slightly from the fats and oils found in nature. The general
structure may be represented by Formula III: ##STR3## wherein each
of R.sup.1A, R.sup.2A, and R.sup.3A may be the same or different

esterified mixture of high molecular weight esters of
(hydroxylated) fatty acids with aliphatic and alicyclic alcohols
and sterols. General structures would include
R.sup.8ACH.sub.2--(OCH.sub.2CH.sub.2).sub.nOH where R.sup.8A
represents the fatty groups derived from lanolin and n=5 to 75 or

behenate, C.sub.30-45 alkyl methicone, stearoxytrimethylsilane,
phenyl trimethicone and stearyl dimethicone.
[0047] (i) mixtures and blends of two or more of the foregoing.
[0048] One particular group of emollients includes C12-15 alkyl
benzoate (FINSOLV TN from Finetex Inc., Elmwood Park, N.J.), medium
volatility dimethicone (especially 10-350 centistoke material and
more especially 10-50 centistoke material), PEG-8 distearate,
isopropyl myristate, PPG-3-myristyl ether, and polyisobutene 250,
and neopentyl glycol diheptanoate.
[0049] The emollient or emollient mixture or blend thereof
incorporated in compositions according to the present invention
can, illustratively, be included in amounts of 1-20%, and
particularly 5-17% by weight of the total weight of the
composition.
[0050] The antiperspirant active used in this invention will be in
powder form. 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.
[0051] 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.
[0052] Syneresis is evaluated using the method described in the
Examples.
[0053] Soft solid antiperspirant products may be created in
accordance with this invention.
[0054] 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.
[0055] 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.
[0056] 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.
[0057] 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
[0073] The following Examples are offered as illustrative of the
invention and are not to be construed as limitations thereon. In
the Examples and elsewhere in the description of the invention,
chemical symbols and terminology have their usual and customary
meanings. In the Examples as elsewhere in this application values
for n, m, etc. in formulas, molecular weights and degree of
ethoxylation or propoxylation are averages. Temperatures are in
degrees C unless otherwise indicated. The amounts of the components
are in weight percents based on the standard described; if no other
standard is described then the total weight of the composition is
to be inferred. Various names of chemical components include those
listed in the CTFA International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary
(Cosmetics, Toiletry and Fragrance Association, Inc., 7.sup.th ed.
1997).
Examples 1-6
Soft Solid
[0074] 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.RTM. 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.times.6 cm width at longer
axis.times.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.
[0075] 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.TM. 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).times.100/initial
weight of sample
[0076] The results are in TABLE A.
[0077] 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 +.DELTA.L indicates that the sample is
lighter or whiter in color, a +.DELTA.a indicates a redder or less
green sample, and +.DELTA.b 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. TABLE-US-00001 TABLE A
