Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a safe, eco-friendly,
health protective and cosmetic composition useful as lipstick and
for other cosmaceutical applications like eye-shadows, skin creams,
glow-glitters and rouges.
BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART
[0002] There is worldwide revival of interest in the use of natural
colours especially in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals as the
synthetic colours are likely to cause many side effects. Keeping
this in view the present invention is undertaken to develop purely
natural herbal colorants for cosmetic compositions. One aspect of
the invention pertains to the development of a herbal composition
useful as Lipstick with mood altering functional attributes
including stimulation of creative thoughts on persons who apply the
same on lips. Such features of the composition are attributed to
the selected blended formulations of Natural colours and essential
oils/aroma isolates incorporated.
[0003] Lips being the most sensitive part of skin, can effect fast
transdermal absorption and also the lips being very close to nose
facilitate a continuous inhalation of the slowly vaporizing
essential oils/aroma chemicals blended in the composition, thus,
providing a double effect on the specific centers of the brain by
releasing neurochemicals leading to mood alteration stimulation and
change of mental perceptions The different blends of essential
oil/aroma isolates/natural aroma chemical selectively blended in
the lipsticks provide anti-depressant, mood enhancing/mood lifting
effect and give rise to creative thoughts.
[0004] While lipsticks with different colour shades blended with
aromatic principles have been developed for women, another range of
compositions useful as lipsticks has also been developed for men.
These compositions are without colours but provide a moisturizing
transparent effect and have mood altering functions and are
designed to altered mental perception, functioning similar to the
lipstick compositions developed for developed for women. Both the
groups of lipstick have some additional health promotive/protective
and beautifying attributes by preventing the lips from darkening
and providing it with moisturizing effects. These compositions also
give attractive luster and texture to the lips. The lipsticks with
colour, developed for women, have antibacterial, antifungal and
anti-inflammatory effects. With regard to lip beautification
topical application lipstick with different shades of colours are
well known. Likewise, spraying of aromatic oils or sprays for
refreshing is also well known. Many studies have been carried out
on the effect of fragrance on mental perception; for example, the
nice fragrance has an aesthetic impression and multiple positive
effects on our life, they are not only for pleasure and seduction,
healing and magic products but also for positive mood creators.
DESCRIPTION OF PRIOR ART
[0005] Reference is made to a publication titled "Naphthaquinones
of Arnebia Nobilis" by Y. N. Shukla et al., Phytochemistry, 1971,
Vol.10, pp.1909 to 1915, wherein, 4-naphthaquinones designated as
A-1, A-2,A-3 and A-4 have been reported. The use of the extract
from Arnebia nobilis is also reported. Sayyada Khatoon and Shanta
Mehrotra in "Naphtha quinones from some Boraginaceous Texa-A
Chemical Review" published in Natural Product Sciences, 1996 2(2)
pp.75-95 report a number of naphthaquinones from boraginaceous
plants. Varies properties of these compounds have also been
reported.
[0006] V. P. Papageorgiou, has reported certain lipophilic red
pigments obtained from various plants including the genus
Lithospermum, Echium Onosma Anchusa and Cynoglossum, in his
publication titled: Naturally occurring Isohexenylnaphthazarin
Pigments: A New Class of Drugs" in Planta Medica, 1980, Vol.38,
No.3.
[0007] U.S. Pat. No. 4,996,044 describes a lipstick formulation
consisting of organic high staining dyes, said formulation having
creamy, shiny and soft laydown and long wear properties. The
formulation does not use any extracts from any plant.
[0008] Reference is made to a U.S. Pat. (No. 5,593,662) wherein
moisturizing lipstick has been described. In this invention, use
has been made with a composition of 30-80% lipophilic material,
which may have lesser shelf life and may promote microbial growth
due to the presence of moisture. They used about 0-35% synthetic
colourant which seems to he too high for a cosmetic composition.
The synthetic colours mostly exhibit harmful side effects like loss
of luster, blackening of skin and may have some carcinogenic
effects too as shown in a website (http
://www.orst.edu/foodresource/color/colorants/.html).
[0009] Another reference is made to U.S. Pat. No. 5,665,778 wherein
a ceramide, process for their preparation and their application in
cosmetics and in dermato-pharmacy. These compounds are complex
mixtures of erythro & threo-diasterioisomers. They synthesize
these compounds by a complex and costly process. They have used
organic pigments for lipstick and there is no herbal colourants
being used.
[0010] Reference may be made to a recent PCT application
PCT/EP00/02217 of 13 Mar. 2000 wherein the inventors have used Zinc
salts, particularly Zinc citrate in lipstick to effect
anti-microbial property. The drawback in using Zinc or its salts is
that mostly they are emetic and cause conjunctivitis as side
effect.
[0011] In an International Congress of Essential oils, fragrance
and flavours November 1989) the description of use of aroma has not
at all been mentioned in lipstick. The available lipsticks in the
international market are used as refreshing beautifying agents
only.
[0012] U.S. Pat. No. 5,665,778 describes yet another cosmetic
formulation consisting of ceramides and other compounds, The
composition of this patent is a totally synthetic composition.
[0013] U.S. Pat. No. 5,676,957 describes a skin external agent,
said agent being an extract of the plant of genes Euonymus such as
Euonymus alata. This extract according to this invention may be
formulated with a cosmetically acceptable base.
[0014] Reference is made to a U.S. Pat. No. 5,858,348 wherein only
a single isolate of essential oil like rose oxide has been used in
synthetic lipstick and other cosmetic for refreshing feel. Such a
single isolates of essential oil will not serve the desired
multiple effects like mood enhancing, sensual pleasure and thought
inducing state of mind.
[0015] To the knowledge of the applicants, there does not exist any
lipstick with herbal colours and functional attributes, the
cosmaceuticals like eye shadows and glow glitters, rouges with use
of herbal colours, likewise the lipstick without colour with
functional attributes for men.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
[0016] The main objective of the present invention is to provide

various cosmaceutical applications.
[0017] Another objective of the present invention is to use the
herbal colours in lipsticks.
[0018] Another objective of the present invention is to provide
transparent cosmetic compositions useful as lipsticks and
containing essential oils/aroma isolates.
[0019] Still another objective of the present invention is to use
the herbal colours in other cosmetic compositions like eye shadows,
skin creams, glow glitters and rouges.
[0020] Yet, another objective of the present invention is to
provide the use of the functional lipstick as a means to camouflage
leucodermic skin and particularly lips.
[0021] Yet another object of the invention is to provide a method
for the production of cosmetic compositions containing herbal
colourants and useful in other cosmetic applications.

[0063] The invention is that the essential oils and aroma isolates
may be used in transparent lipstick as a functional attribute.
[0064] Another aspect of the invention relates to a process for
extraction of organic colourants from the plants, said process
comprising obtaining the plant parts, extracting with organic
solvents, removing the solvents by conventional methods,
concentrating the extract under reduced pressure and optionally
treating with acids or bases to produce various shades.
[0065] Yet another aspect of the invention relates to a process for
the extraction of organic colourants, said process comprising the
steps of: [0066] a) drying the plant parts, [0067] b) powdering the
dried plant parts, [0068] c) subjecting the dry powder obtained in
step (b) to Soxhlet extraction at a temperature in the range of
40-80.degree. C. or cold percolation with organic solvents at a
temperature ranging between 20 to 45.degree. C., [0069] d)
concentrating the mixture of step (e) by conventional methods at
reduced pressure in the range of 50-100 psi and at a temperature
not exceeding 50.degree. C., [0070] e) mixing the concentrate of
step (d) with silica gel in the ratio 1:3 to 2:7 to obtain a
slurry, [0071] f) eluting the slurry with organic solvents
resulting in various fractions, [0072] g) concentrating the
fractions at a pressure in the range of 50-100 psi resulting in
herbal colourants, optionally treating the said colours with acids
or bases to produce various shades, and [0073] h) obtaining various
colours from by treating the said fractions with acids or bases to
produce colourants of various shades.
[0074] One more aspect of the invention relates yet another process
of extraction of herbal colourants from plants of the family
Boraginaceae, which comprises; percolating powdered plant parts
with alcohol at room temperature resulting in alcohol soluble
herbal material, the said herbal material being concentrated by
known means at pressures in the range of 50-100 psi and at a
temperature in the range of 40-60.degree. C., the said concentrate
being made into a slurry with silica get in a ratio in the range of
1:3 to 2:7, the said slurry being eluted by known means with
organic solvents resulting in fractions, the said fractions further
being concentrated by known methods at a pressure in the range of
50-100 PSI resulting in herbal colorants, optionally treating the
said colours with acids or bases to produce various shades.
[0075] The herbal colours may be extracted from any of the three
parts of the plants; namely root, stem or leaves or by taking all
of them. These parts may then dried by any conventional means which
may include heat treatment at a temperature between 30-45.degree.
C. Alternatively the drying process may be effected in shade though
the time for drying may be rather too long. The dried plant
material may then be powdered and sieved through mesh to get a
powder of particles of a suitable size preferably in the range of
30-60 mesh
[0076] The dried powder may then be extracted by using Soxhlet
apparatus at a temperature range of 40-80.degree. C.
[0077] The dried powdered plant material may also be extracted by
cold percolation at a temperature range of 20-45.degree. C.
[0078] The extraction may be carried out with the non-polar and
mixtures of non-polar and polar solvents selected for the
extraction. Non-polar solvents may be selected from hexane,
petroleum ether, toluene and cyclohexane whereas the polar solvents
may be selected from chloroform, acetone, ethyl alcohol and methyl
alcohol. The herbal colours may be obtained by concentrating the
extracts at reduced pressure of 50-100 psi and a temperature at
range of 40 -60.degree. C. This process of concentration may result
in purplish red, cerise, ruby red, beet root purple, dark violet,
deep blue, and blackish blue colours which are herbal in nature as
no trace of organic solvent remains in the final concentrate.
[0079] In another process, the dried, powdered plant material may
be percolated with ethyl or methyl alcohol at a temperature of
20-48.degree. C. The alcohol soluble matter may be concentrated at
reduced pressure of 50-100 psi and a low temperature of
40-60.degree. C. Thus, the said concentrate may be eluted with
silica gel column chromatography by using non-polar solvents
like--petroleum ether, hexane, cyclohexane, toluene and mixture of
said non-polar and polar solvents, The polar solvents may be used
like--chloroform, acetone, ethylacetate & methanol. The ratio
of the non-polar and polar solvents may be 20:1 to 4:1. The
concentration of the column fractions may be made at a range of
reduced pressure of 80-100 psi and a temperature of 30-60.degree.
C. The colours of the concentrate may be pastel red, pale red,
purplish red, rose red, cerise, ruby red, deep magenta, beet root
purple, amaranth, dark purple, dark violet, deep violet, deep blue
and blackish blue
[0080] These novel colours may be used with or without the aroma
isolate/essential oils. Proper mixture of aroma isolates/essential
oils may result in such desirable properties of mood enhancement,
sensual pleasure, antidepressant and creative thoughts inducer To
get these desired properties in cosmetics like lipsticks the herbal
colours may be mixed with selected mixture of aroma and applied to
the base material. These herbal colours may be used in other
applications like eye shadow, glow glitters, rouges and skin
conditioning agent.
[0081] These colours may be the mixture of naphthazarins and may be
cyclic unsaturated diketones in which double bonds and keto group
may be conjugated. These herbal colours may be changed to different
shades by treating it with organic and inorganic acids. The
intensity of these colours may be increased with organic acids and
may be decreased with inorganic acids. The range of the
concentration of the acids may be 0.1-10%. The colour of the herbal
colourants may be changed from red to blue with organic and
inorganic bases. The range of the concentration of the bases maybe
0.1-20%.
[0082] These herbal colours may have excellent lipophilic
properties and very minimum hydrophilic properties. These colours
may be soluble in organic solvents like--hexane, petroleum ether,
benzene, diethyl ether, ethylacetate, chloroform, acetone and
alcohol in the range of 30-100%. The pH of the extracted colours
may be within the range of 5-6. All these characteristics of the
herbal colours are very desirable for use in cosmaceutical
applications. The process of the present invention can obtain
various colours such as described in the tables 3 to 6.
[0083] Some of the critical parameters, which are responsible for
the generation of various colourants, are as under: [0084] a)
composition of the solvent used for running the column
chromatography. [0085] b) the ratio of the polar to non-polar
solvent is also a critical parameter for the production of the
different colours [0086] c) the temperature of the Rotavapours used
in the process of the concentration of the extract is also a
critical parameter. [0087] d) the temperature of the hot air oven
at which the lipstick formulation is made is also a critical
parameter. [0088] e) treating the said colours with specific
concentration of acids or bases to produce various shades. Novel
Features of the Invention [0089] 1. Extraction of the herbal
colours from plant materials which are nontoxic and highly
lipophilic. [0090] 2. A novelty of the present invention lies in
application of herbal colours in cosmaceutical preparations like
lipsticks, eye shadow, glow glitters and rouges. [0091] 3. Ability
to tailor the shade of the basic herbal colours by a simple
treatment of the produce with organic or inorganic acids or bases.

[0126] The following examples are given to illustrate the invention
and should not be construed to limit the scope of the present
invention.
PREPARATION OF HERBAL COLOURANTS AND LIPSTICK
[0127] The present invention is illustrated further by referring to
the following examples. However, the present invention is not
limited to these examples.
Process
[0128] Extracted the powdered material with non-polar solvents
(like hexane, petroleum ether, toluene and cyclohexane) and
mixtures of non-polar and polar solvents (The polar solvents are
chloroform Acetone, Ethylacetate, methanol, ethanol).
[0129] The ranges of ratio of non-polar and polar solvents are 99:1
to 0:100.
[0130] The change of color by treating the color with traces of
food grade acids e.g. Acetic acids less than 0.1%
[0131] The change of color with the treatment of traces of bases
i.e. less than 0.1%.
Example 1
[0132] 100 gm air-dried coarsely powdered root of Onosma species is
sieved in 40 mesh sieve and then extracted in Soxhlet apparatus
with hexane at a temperature of 50.degree. C. for 12-18 hours which
resulted in the formation of hexane soluble herbal matter. The said
matter was concentrated at a reduced pressure of 70 psi and at a
temperature of 35.degree. C., resulting in the yield of 6.0 gm. as
the purplish red colour (Plate NO 12 A7 of Methuen handbook of
colour, 1978).
Example 2
[0133] 100 gm air dried coarsely powdered stem and root in the
ratio of 1:4 of Onosma species is sieved in 40 mesh sieve and then
extracted in Soxhlet apparatus, with chloroform, at a temperature
of 60.degree. C. for 18-24 hours which resulted in the formation of
chloroform soluble herbal matter. The said matter was concentrated
at a reduced pressure of 80 psi and at the temperature of
40.degree. C., resulting in the yield of 8.5 gm. as the beet-root
purple (Plate No: 13 D8)
Example 3
[0134] 100 gm air dried coarsely powder stem, root and leaf in the
ratio of 1: 1: 3 of Macrotomia species is percolated at room
temperature with the mixture of chloroform and hexane in the ratio
of 5:95 for 4 hours (3 times). Combined all the extracts and
concentrated at a pressure of 70 psi and a temperature of
50.degree. C. Thus 3.5 gm of cerise colourant (Plate No: 12 C8) was
obtained.
Example 4
[0135] 100 gm air-dried coarsely powdered root of Onosma species is
sieved in 40 mesh sieve and then extracted in Soxhlet apparatus
with hexane at a temperature of 50.degree. C. for 12-18 hours which
resulted in the formation of hexane soluble herbal matter. The said
matter was concentrated at a reduced pressure of 70 psi and at a
temperature of 35.degree. C., resulting in the yield of 6.0 gm. as
the purplish red colour (Plate NO 12 A7) which gets changed to rose
red after treatment with 1% formic acid.
Example 5
[0136] 100 gm air dried coarsely powdered stem and root in the
ratio of 1:4 of Onosma species is sieved in 40 mesh sieve and then
extracted in Soxhlet apparatus, with chloroform, at a temperature
of 60.degree. C. for 18-24 hours which resulted in the formation of
chloroform soluble herbal matter. The said matter was concentrated
at a reduced pressure of 80 psi and at the temperature of
40.degree. C., resulting in the yield of 8.5 gm. as the beet-root
purple (Plate No: 13 D8) which gets changed with 0.1% HCl to ruby
red colour (Plate No: 12 D8).
Example 6
[0137] 100 gm air dried coarsely powder stem, root and leaf in the
ratio of 1:1:3 of Macrotomia species is percolated at room
temperature with the mixture of chloroform and hexane in the ratio
of 5:95 for 4 hours (3 times). Combined all the extracts and
concentrated at a pressure of 70 psi and a temperature of
50.degree. C. Thus 3.5 gm of cerise colour (Plate No: 12 C8) was
obtained which gets changed to vivid blue (Plate No: 21 A8) with
the addition of the 0.1% NaO
Example 7
[0138] 100 gm air dried coarsely powdered root of Onosma species is
percolated with ethyl alcohol at room temperature for 24 hours (4
times). The alcohol soluble portion of stem and root was
concentrated at reduced pressure of 70 psi and at a temperature of
50.degree. C., resulting in the formation of 18 gm. of ethanol
soluble concentrate. The said concentrate was mixed with 54 gm of
silica gel for preparing slurry. This slurry was dried with the
help of vacuum pump. The column chromatography of this dried slurry
was carried out by using hexane: chloroform in the ratio of 95:5.
The fractions obtained with aforesaid solvents were concentrated at
the reduced pressure of 90 psi and at a temperature of 40.degree.
C., thereby giving the yield of 0.3 gm as the pastel red colour
(Plate No:9 A5) which gets changed to vivid blue (Plate No: 21 A8)
with the addition of the 0.1% NaOH.
Preparation of Cosmetic Compositions
[0139] The herbal colourant obtained by the process described in
Examples 1 to 7 can be used according to the invention to develop
various cosmetic compositions useful as lip stick, eye-liners,
eye-shadows, glow-glitters and rouges. Such compositions are
prepared following the general principles used in making cosmetic
compositions. Specifically, the herbal colourant obtained from the
plant parts is mixed with a base in appropriate proportion. The
base may be liquefied first and the colourant of choice may be
added and stirred. Alternatively, the colourant and the base are
added, the mixture is heated, and the ingredients are stirred to
obtain a homogenous mixture. To this mixture, essential oil is
added together with softening agents, mood lifting agents and other
additives as may be necessary for the compositions. For instance,
if glow-glitters composition is to be prepared, with the basic
composition, additives that provide glitter are added. The
composition prepared when cooled to room temperature becomes
suitable for use as a cosmetic composition.
[0140] While the above is only an outline describing the
preparation of cosmetic composition, specific instances of
preparing different cosmetic compositions for various applications
is described in Examples 10 to 17 here below. The specific
instances provided herein below are meant only to illustrate the
invention and the same should not be construed to limit the scope
of the invention in any manner.

The change in color of e colourants, occurs then they are subjected
to acid or base treatments. For example, change of colour occurs by
treating the colourant with traces of food grade acids example
acetic acid at a quantum less than 0.1%, likewise, the change of
colour occurs with the treatment of base which can be as traces as
less than 0.1%
