COSMETIC COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING FOOD-GRADE COMPONENTS AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING SAME

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to cosmetic compositions comprising, consisting essentially of, or consisting of food-grade components, and methods of making and using same.

BACKGROUND

[0002] Widely distributed cosmetic compositions typically include one or more preservatives or other excipients in order to, for example, discourage microbial growth. However, the preservatives or other excipients may damage skin, or may reduce beneficial properties of other components of the cosmetic composition. Cosmetic compositions that include biodegradable components, such as food-grade components, are especially susceptible to microbial growth and thus regularly include preservatives, such as antimicrobial compounds.

[0003] Currently, cosmetic compositions including food-grade components without also including preservatives are not commercially available. A need exists for such cosmetic compositions that have a reasonable sheif-!ife (e.g., no or minimal microbial growth after about 30 days) without including preservatives.

In some embodiments, the packaged cosmetic product comprises a sterilized cosmetic composition in a container, such as a pouch. The cosmetic composition may be sterilized before being placed in the container (e.g., pouch). In some embodiments, the cosmetic composition is sterilized after being placed and sealed in the container (e.g., the cosmetic composition is sterilized after being sealed in a pouch). In such embodiments, the cosmetic composition may be sterilized by high pressure processing, for example by exposing the pouch comprising the cosmetic composition to a pressure of up to about 600 MPa (up to about 87,000 psi) for a period of time of about 1 second to about 5 minutes. In some embodiments, a sealed pouch comprising the cosmetic composition is exposed to a pressure of about 600 MPa (about 87,000 psi) for about 3 minutes (i.e., 180 seconds).

[0069] Referring now to FIG. 1 , the present disclosure provides a sterilized packaged cosmetic product 100 comprising a pouch 20, a seal 30, and a cosmetic composition 40 housed within the pouch 20. The pouch 20 may be formed from two sheets of material (e.g., food-grade material) or from a single sheet folded on itself. A sealed edge portion 22 binds the two sheets (or folded single sheet) together around the periphery of the pouch 20, and defines a cavity 24 internal to the pouch 20. The pouch 20 further includes a seal portion 26 which, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 , mates with a cap 30 to seal the cosmetic composition 40 inside the pouch 20.

In some embodiments, the high pressure processing comprises applying a pressure of up to about 600 MPa (about 87,000 psi) for up to about 5 minutes. Various pressure and time periods may be used to apply pressure to the pouch 20 and cosmetic composition 40. For example, a pressure of about 400 MPa may be applied for between 1 and 10 minutes, a pressure of 450 MPa may be applied for between 1 and 10 minutes, a pressure of 500 MPa may be applied between 1 and 10 minutes, a pressure of 550 MPa may be applied between 1 and 10 minutes, a pressure of 600 MPa may be applied for between 1 and 10 minutes, a pressure of 650 MPa may be applied between 1 and 10 minutes. A pressure of 700 MPa or more may be applied between 1 and 10 minutes. Various pressures may be applied for between less than 1 minute to over 60 minutes. A dynamic pressure gradient may be applied over a time period, for example, a high pressure of between 300 MPa to 600 MPa may be applied for a first period of time and a higher pressure of between 350 MPa to 700 MPa may be applied for a second period of time. In other embodiments, a dynamic pressure gradient may be applied over a time period, for example, a higher pressure of between 350 MPa to 700 MPa may be applied for a first period of time and a high pressure of between 300 MPa to 650 MPa may be applied for a second period of time. Pressure may be increasingly applied over a period of time and pressure may be relieved or decreased over a period of time.
