Description:
SUN CARE COMPOSITION

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is directed to a sun care composition with high SPF, which comprises an association of a specific emulsifying system, one or more structuring semi-crystalline polymers and a UV filter system, the process of manufacturing the composition and its uses.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The photoprotection of keratinous substrates, including both skin and hair, is considered of great importance in order to protect from sun-damage, sunburn, photo-aging, as well as to decrease the chances of skin cancer development caused by exposure to ultraviolet (“UV”) radiation. There are typically two types of UVA/UVB sunscreen compositions used to accomplish photoprotection, namely, inorganic UV filters and organic UV filters.

The UVB radiation causes skin reddening and sunburn, tends to damage the skin more superficial epidermal layers. It plays a key role in the development of skin cancer and a contributory role in tanning and photoaging.

The UVA radiation is the dominant tanning ray, and we now know that tanning, whether outdoors or in a salon, causes cumulative damage over time. A tan result from injury to the skin's DNA; the skin darkens in an imperfect attempt to prevent further DNA damage. These imperfections, or mutations, can lead to skin cancer.

The long UVA radiations are the less energetic UVA radiation and therefore, they were considered as“less dangerous”. But they are numerous in our environment, as they represent more than 75% of UV rays reaching earth. So it is worth studying their skin impact as they will be repeated every day for a long period of time.

Thus, the UV filters may either protect against UVA radiation (long wave), UVB radiation (shortwave), or both. In the past, it was commonly held that protection against UVB radiation was the primary or even sole consideration in sun- protection. However, more recent research has revealed that exposure to UVA radiation may also be dangerous and lead to undesirable effects. As such, the current trend in sun-protection endeavors is typically to protect against both UVA and UVB in a single composition, and to increase both the Sun Protection Factor (“SPF”) and the UVA ratings of the composition. The degree of UV protection afforded by a sunscreen composition is directly related to the amount and type of UV filters contained therein. The higher the amount of UV filters, the greater the degree of UV protection.

Thus, due to the problems described above, many sunscreen compositions have been proposed to overcome the effects induced by UVA and/or UVB radiation. They generally contain organic or mineral UV-screening agents, which function according to their own chemical nature and according to their own properties by absorption, reflection or scattering of the UV radiation. Also, they generally contain mixtures of liposoluble organic screening agents and/or of water- soluble UV-screening agents combined with metal oxide pigments such as titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. The sunscreen compositions having UVA or UVB or UVA/UVB filter systems commonly used in the sunscreen cosmetic market are generally in the form of oil, an oil-in-water emulsion (stabilized dispersion of an oily phase in an aqueous phase) or a water-in-oil emulsion (stabilized dispersion of an aqueous phase in an oily phase) comprising at least one oily phase comprising solvents and oils.

However, most of the available sunscreens on the market when applied to the skin presents heavy, oily and sticky sensation.

In view of the above and considering the consumer’s needs, it is desired a sun care composition with high SPF associated with a fine and light sensation on the skin, auto-adaption to climate and season and pleasure upon application.

In addition, it is desired a composition that not only protects the keratin fibers from the damages of the sun, but also hydrates and protects the skin against the pollution and loss of water.

The challenge of formulating a sun care composition having high FPS associated with the moisturizing, pollution and loss of water protection is that usual ingredients of the state of art do not achieve a stable and effective sun care composition, since the main ingredients tend to be incompatible when associated mostly due to the presence of high amounts of oily filters.

Thus, the inventors succeeded to overcome the problems of the state of the art and surprisingly revealed a stable sun care composition with high SPF, by the specific combination of an emulsifying system, one or more structuring semi crystalline polymers and a UV filter system of the present invention. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is directed to provide a stable sun care composition with high SPF which comprises an association of specific emulsifying system comprising polyglyceryl-6 distearate and jojoba esters and polyglyceryl-3 beeswax and cetyl alcohol; a structuring semi-crystalline polymer selected from one or more poly C10-30 alkyl acrylates and ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/ vinylpyrrolidone copolymers; and a UV filter system, the process of manufacturing the composition and its uses.

The composition of the present invention presents a high level of UV- protection in order to protect the keratin fibers from the damages of the sun, having properties of hydrating and protecting the skin against the pollution and loss of water.
