BEAUTY WASH COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING TITANIUM OXIDE

5 The present invention relates to rinse-off cleanser
compositions delivering an immediate skin whitening effect. This is accomplished by using sub-micron titanium dioxide, preferably together with an optical modifier (e.g., micron size mica or talc or emollient oil) from a facial cleanser
10 base. Generally, the enhancement is obtained by use of a specific deposition system (e.g.,cationic polymer/anionic surfactant precipitates) and/or by ensuring dispersion of particles (e.g., little or no agglomeration) onto skin or deposited substrate.
15
It is extremely difficult to deliver enhanced whitening, especially rapid whitening, from a rinse-off composition. The optical modifiers delivering these properties are not readily deposited, are readily rinsed off and, because they readily
20 agglomerate, are not in a sufficiently dispersed state to be efficiently delivered to a substrate (which is another way to say that they rinse off too easily).
The applicants' co-pending U.S.Serial No. 10/241,401 to
25 Zhang et al., filed September 11, 2002 discloses personal
care formulations comprising particles of defined refractive index, thickness, geometry and size. While this disclosure relates to how size, shape, etc. of the particles themselves help deposition (and thus shine), it fails to disclose
30 specific deposition enhancement systems (e.g. based on a type of surfactant and/or polymers) , and the use of

WO 2005/094779

dispersed, sub-micron Ti02 (preferably with other optical
modifiers) to deliver enhanced whiteness. It also does not disclose how particles must be adequately dispersed on substrate (e.g., skin) to deliver defined change values
5 needed to perceive measure optical traits.
U.S. Serial No. 10/443,396 to Zhang et al., filed May 23, 2003 discloses structured benefit agent for enhanced delivery of optical modifier, but again does not disclose
10 combination of sub-micron titanium dioxide, cationic
deposition polymers (forming precipitates as deposition aid) and adequate dispersal to deliver enhanced whiteness.
Unexpectedly, the applicants have now found both compositions
15 and ways to manipulate such compositions to provide enhanced whitening from rinse-off systems. That is, using deposition enhancement systems (e.g., characterised for example by precipitates formed through interaction of polymers and surfactants),modifiers associated with specified optical
20 properties (e.g., sub-micron titanium dioxide for whiteness), can be dispersed and delivered to provide desired optical whiteness (i.e., by providing sufficient change in absolute or percentage values of the whitening component to result in perceived whitening changes). Changes in optical attributes
25 previously unobtainable from wash-off/rinse-off systems are provided by selecting the specified components.
More particularly, in one aspect the invention comprises as follows:

15 opacity) and which, in combination with a
deposition enhancement system, provides at least 5 % improvement (i.e., 5 % change) in at least one visual attribute being targeted (e.g., shine, color), wherein values reflecting various optical
2 0 properties are measured before or after conducting
tests according to a defined protocol, when said composition is applied to the skin;
c) from 0.01 % to 30 %, preferably 0.1 % to 25 % by

but does not have the deposition enhancement
system; and

"Soap" is used as in the popular sense i.e., alkali metal or alkanol ammonium salts of aliphatic, alkane or alkene monocarboxylic acids. Other surfactants which may be used are described in "Surface Active Agents and Detergents" (Vol. I & II) by Schwartz, Perry & Berch, a copy of which is incorporated by reference into the subject application.
As indicated, the particulate optical modifier (titanium dioxide plus optional other modifier) should provide, in combination with deposition enhancement system, at least a 5 % change in L value associated with lightening.
Specifically, improvement is measured by taking a value for a particular measured component (e.g., L value for whitening) and measuring (e.g., using in-vitro pig assay) values of the components before and after application of particle deposition enhancement system.
The optical benefit carried by the deposition of optical 20 modifier can be targeted to either plateaus on the skin
surface or to skin crevices.
In one embodiment, the formulation deposition of TiO2 and
optional modifier creates skin lightening, whitening,
25 and/or color or similar attributes, and the composition deposits sub-micron Ti02 and optional particulate optical modifier to
exhibit AL value in the range of ± 10 L units, wherein said L units are defined by Hunter Lab Color Meter as described in the protocol. ∆a* values may be in the range from about 0 to about ± 10, ∆b* value may be in range from about 0 to about ±

10, and a change in opacity may be in the range from about 0 to about ± 50 %. The reflectance should be within normal skin reflectancy range. In this case, this means change in reflectance is ≤ 10 %. Reflectance is measured by a change in
5 gloss measured from a gloss meter. Although there may be a
focus on ∆a* and' ∆b*values (since there is a focus on general color attributes), it is important L value (associated with whitening) be changed at least 5 %.
10 The optional optical modifier which may be used for the subject invention may be chosen from non-colored and colored, organic and inorganic materials.
Among the materials which may be used are included organic
15 pigments, inorganic pigments, polymers and fillers such as titanium oxide, zinc oxide, colored iron oxide, chromium oxide/hydroxide/hydrate, alumina, silica, zirconia, barium sulfate, silicates, natural/alkaloid (including derivatives) polymers, polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, ultramarine,
20 and alkaline earth carbonates. The materials can be platy materials such as talc, sericite, mica, synthetic mica, or platy substrates coated with organic and inorganic molecules, such as bismuth oxychloride or barium sulfate.
25 Particles can be composed of several materials (like dyes, lakes, toners). Lakes are, for example, dyes with aluminum hydroxide to help them bind to solid. Color can be generated through fluorescence, absorption or iridescence. That is, color of modifier materials is generated through
30 optical means rather than, for example, chemical means.

The optical modifier may also be a UV screen material with a D50 5 The optical modifiers may also be defined by their physical properties. For example, the optical modifier may be broadly defined as follows:
i) an exterior surface having a refractive index of
10 1.3 to 4.0
ii) a geometry which is spheroidal, platy or
cylindrical
iii) dimensions: spheroidal - 0.1 to 200 µm, platy - 1
to 200 µm, cylindrical - 1 to 200 µm in length and
15 0.5 to 5.0 µm in diameter
iv) a D50 of ≤ 200 microns in particle size, v) may have fluorescence color, absorption color
and/or interference color (color through optics)
20 More specifically, particles providing change in shine/glow/radiance may be defined as follows:
i) an exterior surface having a refractive index of 1.8 to 4.0,
25 ii) a geometry which is platy or cylindrical,
iii)dimensions: spheroidal - 0.1 to 200 µm (microns), platy - 10 to 200 µm, cylindrical - 10 to 200 µm in length and 0.5 to 5.0 µm in diameter, and
iv) a D50 of 30

Particles providing skin lightening/color may be defined as follows:
i) an exterior surface having a refractive index of
5 1.3 to 4.0,
ii) a geometry which is spheroidal or platy, iii) dimensions: spheroidal - 0.1 to 1 µm microns,
platy - 1 to 30 µm , iv) a D50 of 10 v) may have fluorescence color, absorption color
and/or interference color (color through optics).
Particles producing evenness or soft focus may toe defined as follows:
15
i) an exterior surface having a refractive index of
1.3 to 2.0, ii) a geometry which is spheroidal, platy or cylindrical,
20 iii) dimensions: spheroidal - 0.1 to 200 µm , platy - 1 to 10 µm , cylindrical - 1 to 10 µm in length and 0.5 to 5.0 µm in diameter, and iv) a D50 of 25 Of course, the formulation can contain a mixture of
particles, each containing characteristics of a specific visual benefit, to create a combination of visual effects.
It is also to be understood that for visual effects/
30 attributes to have maximum effect, the particles have to be

WO 2005/094779

- 11 -
well dispersed on the skin, and should also give minimal to no sensory negatives.
By being "well dispersed1" is meant that the particles should 5 not agglomerate, and that they should be spread easily
through the skin surface.
In a preferred embodiment, less than 30 % of particles TiO2
and other optical modifiers are agglomerates having a size
10 of ten times or more than the particle size. This can be measured using optical or electron microscopy.
The particle is used at about 0 to 35 % by weight, preferably 0.2 % to 25 % by wt., of the composition.
15
Compositions of the invention require use of titanium dioxide wherein the particle size is sub-micron. Specifically, particle must be in the range 100 to 300 nanometers, preferably 120 to 300 nanometers.
20
The key aspect of the particle size requirement is to combine and balance out two optical effects. For particles with a size larger than 200 nm, one gets Mie light scattering. This light scattering mechanism scatters all
25 the wavelengths in the visible spectrum creating a white,
opaque effect. Such particle sizes are good for generating effective concealing hiding power and white color.
Particles that are less than 200 nm in size create Rayleigh 30 light scattering. This form of light scattering only
scatters back blue light. The rest of the visible spectrum

WO 2005/094779

PCT/EP2005/002703

- 12 -
wavelengths are transmitted through. Such characteristics would create a bluish translucent effect, which would counteract the yellow color in the skin tone to produce a lighter, fairer visual effect. By combining the two light
5 scattering mechanisms (and requiring the particle sizes used be in the range 100 to 300 nanometers), a balance between opacity and translucency, as well as whiteness and blueness, can be obtained to produce the desired visual appearance/ effect sought.
10
The Ti02 should be used at level of from about 0.01 % to 30 %, preferably to 0.1 % to 25 % by wt.
Deposition enhancement is key to the delivery of titanium
5 dioxide and optical particles providing enhanced visual
benefit (e.g., as defined in changes in ∆L, ∆a*, etc. and in methods to manipulate the values to provide the desired benefit, e.g. radiance, color, etc.).
20 In one embodiment, the deposition is provided by a deposition system comprising as follows:
a) from about 0.1 % to about 10 % by wt., preferably
0.1 % to 8 % by wt. of a cationic polymer having
25 change density ≥lMeq/gram, and
b) about 0.1 % to 30 % by wt., preferably 0.5 % to 25
% by wt. of an anionic surfactant which forms a
precipitate with cationic polymer upon dilution.

WO 2005/094779

PCT/EP2005/002703

- 13 -
The precipitate formed can be a floe which can be broken up upon shear or rubbing to form a uniform and dispersed film on the surface of the skin.
5 Examples of such surfactants include C10 - C24 fatty acid
soaps (e.g., laurates), alkyl taurate (e.g., cocoyl methyl taurate or other alkyl taurates), sulfosuccinates , alkyl sulfates, glycinates, sarcosinates and mixtures thereof.
10 It is important that the cationic have the noted charge in order to form the precipitate which is a key to the deposition of optical modifiers delivering the desired optical attributes. The polymers may be modified polysaccharides including cationic guar gums, synthetic
15 cationic polymers, cationic starches, etc.
Specific cationic polymers which are to be used include Merquat® polymers such as polyquaternium 6 (e.g., Merquat®
100 or Salcare® SC30) and polyquatrnium 7 (e.g. Merquat®
20 2200 or Salcare® SC10); guar gums and/or derivatives (e.g. Jaguar CI7) ; quaternized vinylpyrrolidone/methacrylate copolymers (e.g., Gafquat® 775); and polyquaternium-16
(e.g.; Luviquat® FC550).

cellulose or their derivatives) . That is, if the deposition system additionally comprises such deposition aid, the results are further enhanced.
5 Yet another way to enhance deposition may b>e through modification (e.g. surface modification) of" particles.
In another embodiment, the deposition enhancement system may comprise:
10
1) from 0.1 % to 10 % by wt. of an anionic polymer
having charge density of at least ≥ 1.0 Meg/gram;
and
2) from about 0.1 % to 30 % cationic surfactant which
15 forms a precipitate with the anionic polymer upon
dilution.
This system is the inverse of cationic polymer anionic surfactant system. The precipitate can also be a floe which
20 can be broken up on shear or rubbing and form a uniform and dispersed film on the skin surface.
Suitable cationic surfactant may be a quaternary amino surfactant or an amphoteric such as betaine(e.g.,
25 cocoamidopropyl betaine).
The anionic polymer may be a polyacrylate, cross-linked polyacrylate, polyurethane and/or alkaloid derived polymer (e.g., starch, cellulose and derivatives), polysaccharide

All amounts in the examples are % by weight unless specified otherwise.
10 Protocol
In Vitro Porcine/Pig Skin Assay
A piece of black porcine skin is used (L = 40 +3), where
15 skin has dimensions of 5.0 cm by 10 cm, and the skin is mounted on black background paper card. Initial measurements of untreated skin are made. The mounted skin is then washed and rinsed with 0.2 g of liquid wash-off formulation or soap bar. After two (2) hours of drying,
20 final measurements are made.
Color Measurements
Initial and final color measurements were made of porcine or 25 in-vivo human skin using a Hunter Lab spectra colormeter
using a 0° light source and 4 5° detector geometry. The spectra colormeter was calibrated with the appropriately black and white standards. Measurements were made before and after wash treatment. Three measurements were made each
t
30 time and averaged. Values of L, a*, and b*, which came from the L a* b* color space representation, were obtained in

WO 2005/094779

PCT/EP2005/002703

- 17 -
this manner. L measures units of "Lightness", a* measures values from red to green and b* measures values from yellow to blue.
5 Reflectance (Gloss) Determination
Initial and final reflectance/radiance measurements of porcine or in-vivo human skin were made with a cylossmeter which measures units of gloss. The glossmeter was first set
10 with both detector and light source at 85° from normal. The glossmeter was calibrated with appropriate reflection standard. Measurements of gloss were taken before and after application of formulation, and A gloss was calculated to obtain percent difference.
15
Opacity Determination
Opacity of washable deposition was calculated from Hunter Lab color measurements. Opacity contrast was calculated from ∆
20 L (change in whiteness after deposition compared to prior to deposition) divided by 60 (which is the difference in L value of skin and a pure white color).
EXAMPLES 1-5

The following compositions show changes in value (i.e. ∆ gloss (%), ∆L, ∆a*, ∆b*, as seen at bottom of chart) when surfactant and deposition systems are used relative to compositions either without same ingredients and/or with
30 different or no deposition systems.

As seen from the Table above, systems of the invention create optical attributes (∆L, ∆a*, etc.) which vary in change of the value (and accordingly with the attribute which is

particle, and deposition system used. Thus, the applicants

are able to manipulate values from a wash-off system; and to provide values and the ability to manipulate previously unknown.
5 A more detailed discussion of observations which can be made from the many examples is set forth below.
Examples 1 to 5, are Jaguar C13S-based formulations , which show some deposition.
10
Examples 1 and 2 have 20 % Ti02 and 10 % Ti02, respectively, with the 20 % TiO2 formulation showing higher deposition and larger AL change. There is also a large (and negative) change in the b* value (becoming bluer). The deposition also
15 has a matting visual effect, as can be seen from the negative A gloss (which indicates a lowering of shine).
Examples 3 to 5 use Example 2 formulation with an addition of a reflective particle material.
20
Example 3 has talc (D50 of l0µm) included into the
formulation. The slight reflectivity of talc counteracts the matting effect of the deposited Ti02, as can be seen by the zero change in ∆gloss. This combination gives a whiter,
25 lighter appearance while still maintaining the skin ' s normal shine. The addition of the talc did not alter the ∆L or ∆b*seen from Example 2.
Example 5 is the same as Example 3 except that natural mica 30 (D50 of 22 µm) is used. The higher reflectivity of the

WO 2005/094779

PCT/EP2005/002703

- 20 -
larger sized mica counteracts the matting effect of the deposited Ti02 and increases the visual shine, as can be
seen by the increase in ∆gloss. The addition of the natural
mica did not alter the ∆L or ∆b* seen from Example 2.
5
Example 4 is the same as Example 3 except that a titan
coated mica (D50 of 6µm) is used. The greater reflectivity of the titan-coated mica counteracts the matting effect of the deposited TiO2 and increases the visual shine, as can be
10 seen by the increase in ∆gloss. The addition of the coated mica does increase the ∆L or ∆b*as compared to Example 2.
The control is for comparison purposes. It has the same formulation as Example 2 except there is no cationic polymer
15 (Jaguar C13S). From the L, a*, b*, and gloss values, no deposition is observed.
From Examples 1 to 5, changes in visual attributes can be seen, but they are not large enough. The particle
20 deposition needs to be larger. For this to occur, a
cationic polymer with a larger charge density must be used (in this case Merquat 100) .
Example 6 is the same as Example 2, except the cationic
25 polymer used is Merquat 100 instead of Jaguar. As can be seen from the ∆L and ∆gloss, the deposition of the TiO2 is much greater (by a factor of 5). The visual effect is a much greater whiteness, but also a larger increase in

mattness. To counteract the mattness, natural mica or talc can be added to the formulations.
Examples 7 and 8 are Merguat 100 formulations with natural
5 mica or talc. Both examples show an attenuation in the
matting effect of the large Ti02 deposition as can be seen by the lower negative or even positive ∆gloss relative to, for .example, Example 6. Example 9 is a Merquat 100 formulation with Timiron super blue, an iridescent titania coated mica
10 pigment. The example shows attenuation in the matting
effect of the large TiO2 deposition, as can be seen by the
positive ∆gloss. It also crates a blue hue from the iridescent color.
15 The facial wash-off formulation can also use a different
hydrophilic structural dispersent, such as starch. Similar correlations and trends can be seen with the starch formulation system as with the previous examples.
20 Example 12 and Example 13 compare the deposition of TiO2/~talc from formulations using Merquat 100 and Jaguar C13S respectively. As before, the higher charge density Merqaat shows greater deposition than Jaguar, with similar visual attributes.
25
Example 10 is a control formulation, with no cationic polymer. From the L, a*, b*, and gloss measurements, ther-e is little to no deposition.

Example 11 shows the importance of compatibility of surfactant systems to deposition efficiency. Example 11 uses a mixture of CAP Betaine and lauryl ether sulfate. In comparison with Example 12, the deposition is less efficient as seen from the lower AL values. This is an indication that the CAP Betaine/lauryl ether sulfate surfactant system is not as effective precipitating cationic polymer upon dilution.
