Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a composition comprising an effective amount of a zinc-containing layered material, a surfactant with an anionic functional group, wherein the zinc-containing layered material has a lability of at least about 15%. More particularly, the present invention relates to personal care compositions and methods of treating microbial and fungal infections on the skin or scalp. Even more particularly, the present invention relates to methods for the treatment of dandruff and compositions, which provide improved anti-dandruff activity.
  • Zinc appears especially important to skin health and has been used (typically in the form of zinc oxide or calamine) for over 3000 years to control a variety of skin problems. Recent data more specifically points to the healing and repairing properties of topical zinc treatment to damaged skin, often resulting in increased rates of healing. There is a growing body of biochemical support for this phenomenon. Since dandruff has been previously shown to represent significant damage to scalp skin, topical zinc treatment could aid in the repair process.
  • Inorganic salts such as zinc hydroxycarbonate and zinc oxide, have been employed as bacteriostatic and/or fungistatic compounds in a large variety of products including paints, coatings and antiseptics.
  • zinc salts do not possess as high of a level of biocidal efficacy as might be desired for many anti-dandruff and skin care applications.
  • An embodiment of the present invention is directed to a composition comprising an effective amount of zinc-containing layered material, an effective amount of a surfactant including a surfactant with an anionic functional group, wherein the zinc-containing layered material has a relative zinc lability of greater than about 15%.
  • An additional embodiment of the present invention is directed to a composition
  • a composition comprising an effective amount of zinc-containing layered material, an effective amount of a surfactant including a surfactant with an anionic functional group, wherein the zinc-containing layered material has a relative zinc lability of greater than about 15%, and wherein the composition further comprises an effective amount of a pyrithione or a polyvalent metal salt of a pyrithione.
  • anti-dandruff efficacy can be dramatically increased in topical compositions by the combination of an effective amount of a zinc-containing layered material with a surfactant with an anionic functional group and wherein the zinc-containing layered material has a specified zinc lability within a surfactant system.
  • Zinc lability is a measure of the chemical availability of zinc ion. Soluble zinc salts that do not complex with other species in solution have a relative zinc lability, by definition, of 100%. The use of partially soluble forms of zinc salts and/or incorporation in a matrix with potential complexants generally lowers the zinc lability substantially below the defined 100% maximum.
  • Labile zinc is maintained by choice of an effective zinc-containing layered material or formation of an effective zinc-containing layered material in-situ by known methods.
  • anti-dandruff efficacy can be dramatically increased in topical compositions by the use of polyvalent metal salts of pyrithione, such as zinc pyrithione, in combination with zinc-containing layered materials. Therefore an embodiment of the present invention provides topical compositions with improved benefits to the skin and scalp (e.g., improved antidandruff efficacy).
  • An embodiment of the present invention provides a stable composition for zinc-containing layered material dispersion where the zinc source resides in a particulate form. It has been shown to be challenging to formulate aqueous systems containing a zinc-containing layered material, due to the zinc-containing layered material's unique physical and chemical properties. Zinc-containing layered material may have a high density (approximately 3 g/cm 3 ), and needs to be evenly dispersed throughout the product and so it will not aggregate or settle. Zinc-containing layered material also has a very-reactive surface chemistry as well as the propensity to dissolve in systems with pH values below 6.5. Further, it has been surprisingly found in order for the zinc-containing layered material will remain as labile, in the presence of a surfactant with an anionic functional group.
  • a zinc-containing layered material with a solubility of less than 25% will have a measurable % soluble zinc value below a threshold value determined by the weight percent and molecular weight of the zinc compound.
  • the theoretical threshold value can be calculated by the following equation:
  • An embodiment of the present invention is directed to a composition
  • a composition comprising an effective amount of a zinc-containing layered material having a aqueous solubility of less than about 25% by weight at 25° C.; from about 2% to about 50% of a surfactant with an anionic functional group; and from about 40% to about 95% water; wherein the pH of the composition is greater than about 6.5.

  • Zinc-containing layered structures are those with crystal growth primarily occurring in two dimensions. It is conventional to describe layer structures as not only those in which all the atoms are incorporated in well-defined layers, but also those in which there are ions or molecules between the layers, called gallery ions (A. F. Wells “Structural Inorganic Chemistry” Clarendon Press, 1975). Zinc-containing layered materials (ZLM's) may have zinc incorporated in the layers and/or be components of the gallery ions.
  • ZLM's occur naturally as minerals. Common examples include hydrozincite (zinc carbonate hydroxide), basic zinc carbonate, aurichalcite (zinc copper carbonate hydroxide), rosasite (copper zinc carbonate hydroxide) and many related minerals that are zinc-containing. Natural ZLM's can also occur wherein anionic layer species such as clay-type minerals (e.g., phyllosilicates) contain ion-exchanged zinc gallery ions. All of these natural materials can also be obtained synthetically or formed in situ in a composition or during a production process.

Description

    CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
  • This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/802,166, filed Mar. 17, 2004, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional application Ser. No. 60/455,963, filed on Mar. 18, 2003.
  • FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to a composition comprising an effective amount of a zinc-containing layered material, a surfactant with an anionic functional group, wherein the zinc-containing layered material has a lability of at least about 15%. More particularly, the present invention relates to personal care compositions and methods of treating microbial and fungal infections on the skin or scalp. Even more particularly, the present invention relates to methods for the treatment of dandruff and compositions, which provide improved anti-dandruff activity.
  • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Of the trace metals, zinc is the second most abundant metal in the human body, catalyzing nearly every bio-process directly or indirectly through inclusion in many different metalloenzymes. The critical role zinc plays can be discerned from the symptoms of dietary deficiency, which include dermatitis, anorexia, alopecia and impaired overall growth. Zinc appears especially important to skin health and has been used (typically in the form of zinc oxide or calamine) for over 3000 years to control a variety of skin problems. Recent data more specifically points to the healing and repairing properties of topical zinc treatment to damaged skin, often resulting in increased rates of healing. There is a growing body of biochemical support for this phenomenon. Since dandruff has been previously shown to represent significant damage to scalp skin, topical zinc treatment could aid in the repair process.
  • Inorganic salts, such as zinc hydroxycarbonate and zinc oxide, have been employed as bacteriostatic and/or fungistatic compounds in a large variety of products including paints, coatings and antiseptics. However, zinc salts do not possess as high of a level of biocidal efficacy as might be desired for many anti-dandruff and skin care applications.
  • Despite the options available, consumers still desire a shampoo that provides superior anti-dandruff efficacy versus currently marketed products; as such consumers have found that dandruff is still prevalent. Such a superior efficacy can be difficult to achieve.
  • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • An embodiment of the present invention is directed to a composition comprising an effective amount of zinc-containing layered material, an effective amount of a surfactant including a surfactant with an anionic functional group, wherein the zinc-containing layered material has a relative zinc lability of greater than about 15%.
  • An additional embodiment of the present invention is directed to a composition comprising an effective amount of zinc-containing layered material, an effective amount of a surfactant including a surfactant with an anionic functional group, wherein the zinc-containing layered material has a relative zinc lability of greater than about 15%, and wherein the composition further comprises an effective amount of a pyrithione or a polyvalent metal salt of a pyrithione.
  • These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become evident to those skilled in the art from a reading of the present disclosure.
  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • While the specification concludes with claims which particularly point out and distinctly claim the invention, it is believed the present invention will be better understood from the following description.
  • It has now surprisingly been found, in accordance with the present invention, that anti-dandruff efficacy can be dramatically increased in topical compositions by the combination of an effective amount of a zinc-containing layered material with a surfactant with an anionic functional group and wherein the zinc-containing layered material has a specified zinc lability within a surfactant system. Zinc lability is a measure of the chemical availability of zinc ion. Soluble zinc salts that do not complex with other species in solution have a relative zinc lability, by definition, of 100%. The use of partially soluble forms of zinc salts and/or incorporation in a matrix with potential complexants generally lowers the zinc lability substantially below the defined 100% maximum.
  • Labile zinc is maintained by choice of an effective zinc-containing layered material or formation of an effective zinc-containing layered material in-situ by known methods.
  • It has now surprisingly been found, in accordance with the present invention, that anti-dandruff efficacy can be dramatically increased in topical compositions by the use of polyvalent metal salts of pyrithione, such as zinc pyrithione, in combination with zinc-containing layered materials. Therefore an embodiment of the present invention provides topical compositions with improved benefits to the skin and scalp (e.g., improved antidandruff efficacy).
  • An embodiment of the present invention provides a stable composition for zinc-containing layered material dispersion where the zinc source resides in a particulate form. It has been shown to be challenging to formulate aqueous systems containing a zinc-containing layered material, due to the zinc-containing layered material's unique physical and chemical properties. Zinc-containing layered material may have a high density (approximately 3 g/cm3), and needs to be evenly dispersed throughout the product and so it will not aggregate or settle. Zinc-containing layered material also has a very-reactive surface chemistry as well as the propensity to dissolve in systems with pH values below 6.5. Further, it has been surprisingly found in order for the zinc-containing layered material will remain as labile, in the presence of a surfactant with an anionic functional group.
  • A zinc-containing layered material with a solubility of less than 25% will have a measurable % soluble zinc value below a threshold value determined by the weight percent and molecular weight of the zinc compound. The theoretical threshold value can be calculated by the following equation:
  • 0.25 * wt . % Zn Compound in Composition * molesof Zincin Compound * 65.39 ( MW of Zn ) M W of Zn Compound
  • An embodiment of the present invention is directed to a composition comprising an effective amount of a zinc-containing layered material having a aqueous solubility of less than about 25% by weight at 25° C.; from about 2% to about 50% of a surfactant with an anionic functional group; and from about 40% to about 95% water; wherein the pH of the composition is greater than about 6.5.

  • A. ZINC-CONTAINING LAYERED MATERIAL
  • The composition of the present invention includes an effective amount of a zinc-containing layered material. Preferred embodiments of the present invention include from about 0.001% to about 10% of a zinc-containing layered material; more preferably from about 0.01% to about 7%; more preferably still from about 0.1% to about 5%.
  • Examples of zinc-containing layered materials useful in certain embodiments of the present invention include the following:
  • Zinc-containing layered structures are those with crystal growth primarily occurring in two dimensions. It is conventional to describe layer structures as not only those in which all the atoms are incorporated in well-defined layers, but also those in which there are ions or molecules between the layers, called gallery ions (A. F. Wells “Structural Inorganic Chemistry” Clarendon Press, 1975). Zinc-containing layered materials (ZLM's) may have zinc incorporated in the layers and/or be components of the gallery ions.
  • Many ZLM's occur naturally as minerals. Common examples include hydrozincite (zinc carbonate hydroxide), basic zinc carbonate, aurichalcite (zinc copper carbonate hydroxide), rosasite (copper zinc carbonate hydroxide) and many related minerals that are zinc-containing. Natural ZLM's can also occur wherein anionic layer species such as clay-type minerals (e.g., phyllosilicates) contain ion-exchanged zinc gallery ions. All of these natural materials can also be obtained synthetically or formed in situ in a composition or during a production process.
  • Another common class of ZLM's, which are often, but not always, synthetic, is layered doubly hydroxides, which are generally represented by the formula [M2+ 1−xM3+ x(OH)2]x+ Am− x/m.nH2O and some or all of the divalent ions (M2+) would be represented as zinc ions (Crepaldi, E L, Pava, P C, Tronto, J, Valim, J B J. Colloid Interfac. Sci. 2002, 248, 429-42).
  • Yet another class of ZLM's can be prepared called hydroxy double salts (Morioka, H., Tagaya, H., Karasu, M, Kadokawa, J, Chiba, K Inorg. Chem. 1999, 38, 4211-6). Hydroxy double salts can be represented by the general formula [M2+ 1−xM2+ 1+x(OH)3(1−y)]+ An− (1=3y)/n.nH2O where the two metal ion may be different; if they are the same and represented by zinc, the formula simplifies to [Zn1+x(OH)2]2x+ 2x A.nH2O. This latter formula represents (where x=0.4) common materials such as zinc hydroxychloride and zinc hydroxynitrate. These are related to hydrozincite as well wherein a divalent anion replace the monovalent anion. These materials can also be formed in situ in a composition or in or during a production process.
  • These classes of ZLM's represent relatively common examples of the general category and are not intended to be limiting as to the broader scope of materials which fit this definition.
  • Commercially available sources of basic zinc carbonate include Zinc Carbonate Basic (Cater Chemicals: Bensenville, Ill., USA), Zinc Carbonate (Shepherd Chemicals: Norwood, Ohio, USA), Zinc Carbonate (CPS Union Corp.: New York, N.Y., USA), Zinc Carbonate (Elementis Pigments: Durham, UK), and Zinc Carbonate AC (Bruggemann Chemical: Newtown Square, Pa., USA).
  • Basic zinc carbonate, which also may be referred to commercially as “Zinc Carbonate” or “Zinc Carbonate Basic” or “Zinc Hydroxy Carbonate”, is a synthetic version consisting of materials similar to naturally occurring hydrozincite. The idealized stoichiometry is represented by Zn5(OH)6(CO3)2 but the actual stoichiometric ratios can vary slightly and other impurities may be incorporated in the crystal lattice
  • Particle Size of ZLM
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, it is has been found that a smaller particle size is inversely proportional to relative zinc lability
  • D(90) is the particle size which corresponds to 90% of the amount of particles are below this size. In an embodiment of the present invention, the zinc-containing layered material may have a particle size distribution wherein 90% of the particles are less than about 50 microns. In a further embodiment of the present invention, the zinc-containing layered material may have a particle size distribution wherein 90% of the particles are less than about 30 microns. In yet a further embodiment of the present invention, the zinc-containing layered material may have a particle size distribution wherein 90% of the particles are less than about 20 microns.
  • Surface Area of ZLM
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, there may be a direct relationship between surface area and relative zinc lability.
  • Increased particle surface area generally increases zinc lability due to kinetic factors. Particulate surface area can be increased by decreasing particle size and/or altering the particle morphology to result in a porous particle or one whose overall shape deviates geometrically from sphericity.
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, the basic zinc carbonate may have a surface area of greater than about 10 m2/gm. In a further embodiment, the basic zinc carbonate may have a surface area of greater than about 20 m2/gm. In yet a further embodiment of the present invention, the basic zinc carbonate may have a surface area of greater than about 30 m2/gm.

  • J. METHOD FOR ASSESSMENT OF ZINC LABILITY IN ZINC-CONTAINING PRODUCTS
  • Zinc lability is a measure of the chemical availability of zinc ion. Soluble zinc salts that do not complex with other species in solution have a relative zinc lability, by definition, of 100%. The use of partially soluble forms of zinc salts and/or incorporation in a matrix with potential complexants generally lowers the zinc lability substantially below the defined 100% maximum.
  • Zinc lability is assessed by combining a diluted zinc-containing solution or dispersion with the metallochromic dye xylenol orange (XO) and measurement of the degree of color change under specified conditions. The magnitude of color formation is proportional to the level of labile zinc. The procedure developed has been optimized for aqueous surfactant formulations but may be adapted to other physical product forms as well.
  • A spectrophotometer is used to quantify the color change at 572 nm, the wavelength of optimum color change for XO. The spectrophotometer is set to zero absorbance at 572 nm utilizing a product control as close in composition to the test product except excluding the potentially labile form of zinc. The control and test products are then treated identically as follows. A 50 μl product sample is dispensed into ajar and 95 ml of deaerated, distilled water are added and stirred. 5 mL of a 23 mg/mL xylenol orange stock solution at pH 5.0 is pipetted into the sample jar; this is considered time 0. The pH is then adjusted to 5.50±0.01 using dilute HCl or NaOH. After 10.0 minutes, a portion of the sample is filtered (0.45μ) and the absorbance measured at 572 nm. The measured absorbance is then compared to a separately measured control to determine the relative zinc lability (zero TO 100%). The 100% lability control is prepared in a matrix similar to the test products but utilizing a soluble zinc material (such as zinc sulfate) incorporated at an equivalent level on a zinc basis. The absorbance of the 100% lability control is measured as above for the test materials. The relative zinc lability is preferably greater than about 15%, more preferably greater than about 20%, and even more preferably greater than about 25%.
  • Using this methodology, the below examples demonstrate a material (basic zinc carbonate) that has intrinsically high lability in an anionic surfactant system compared to one (ZnO) with low intrinsic lability.

  • K. PARTICLE SIZE DETERMINATION METHOD
  • Particle size analyses on zinc oxide and hydrozincite raw materials are done using the Horiba LA-910 Particle Size Analyzer. The Horiba LA-910 instrument uses the principles of low-angle Fraunhofer Diffraction and Light Scattering to measure the particle size and distribution in a dilute solution of particles. Samples of these two types of raw materials are predispersed in a dilute solution of Lauryl Polyether Alcohol and mixed before introduction to the instrument. On introduction the sample is further diluted and allowed to circulate in the instrument before a measurement is taken. After measurement a calculation algorithm is used to process the data that results in both a particle size and distribution. D(50) is the median particle size or the particle size which corresponds to 50% of the amount of particles are below this size. D(90) is the particle size which corresponds to 90% of the amount of particles are below this size. D(10) is the particle size which corresponds to 10% of the amount of particles are below this size.
  • Using this methodology, the below examples demonstrate the relationship between particle size and relative zinc lability for basic zinc carbonate.

  • L. SURFACE AREA METHODOLOGY
  • Surface area analysis is done using the Micromeritics Auto Pore IV. The Micromeritics Auto Pore IV uses the principles of capillary law governing penetration of a non-wetting liquid, more specifically mercury, into small pores to measure the total pore surface area. This law is expressed by the Washburn equation:

  • D=(1/P)4γ cos φ
  • where D is pore diameter, P is the applied pressure, γ the surface tension of mercury, and φ the contact angle between the mercury and the sample. The Washburn equation assumes that all pores are cylindrical. Representative surface area measurements were conducted on basic zinc carbonate and are described below.

  • About one-third to all of the sodium laureth sulfate (added as 29 wt % solution) and acid was added to a jacketed mix tank and heated to about 60° C. to about 80° C. with slow agitation to form a surfactant solution. The pH of this solution was about 3 to about 7. Sodium benzoate, Cocoamide MEA and fatty alcohols, (where applicable), was added to the tank and allowed to disperse. Ethylene glycol distearate (“EGDS”) was added to the mixing vessel and allowed to melt (where applicable). After the EGDS was melted and dispersed, Kathon CG was added to the surfactant solution. The resulting mixture was cooled to about 25° C. to about 40° C. and collected in a finishing tank. As a result of this cooling step, the EGDS crystallized to form a crystalline network in the product (where applicable). The remainder of the sodium laureth sulfate and other components, including the silicone and anti-microbial agent(s), were added to the finishing tank with agitation to ensure a homogeneous mixture. Polymers (cationic or nonionic) were dispersed in water or oils as an about 0.1% to about 10% dispersion and/or solution and could be added to the main mix, final mix, or both. Basic Zinc Carbonate or other zinc-containing layered material could be added to a premix of surfactants or water with or without the aid of a dispersing agent via conventional powder incorporation and mixing techniques into the final mix. Once all components had been added, additional viscosity modifiers, such as sodium chloride and/or sodium xylenesulfonate could be added, as needed, to adjust product viscosity to the extent desired. Product pH was adjusted, using an acid such as hydrochloric acid, to an acceptable value.
