Abstract

Process for the deposition, of an active ingredient on the hair by cationic liposomes and post-wash conditioner or hair treatment masque compositions containing cationic liposomes and an active ingredient.

Description

2 ~ 5 _ W 095/23578 PCTAEP95/00716 LIPOSOMES FOR DEPOSITION ON HAIR

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention concerns processes and compositions for the treatment of human hair. More particularly the invention concerns an improved system for the deposition of active ingredients on hair from hair treatment compositions.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION AND PRIOR ART

When treating hair with rinse-off products incorporating surfactant soluble active ingredients, a considerable amount of the active ingredient will be rinsed away.
Studies have shown that the level of retention in the case of a simple shampoo composition, where the active ingredient is solubilised in the surfactant micelles in the product, can be as low as 5%. Retention of these active ingredients from conditioning compositions is generally higher, probably because there is poorer solubilisation of the active ingredient in the conditioning base, but there is considerable scope for improvement, as this would provide better performance of the active ingredient and the option of reducing the level of expensive active ingredient in the product, with consequent cost saving.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved system for the deposition of active ingredients on hair.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

We have now found that cationic liposomes, ie. aqueous compartments enclosed by one or more lipid bilayers, can be formed which are storage-stable and possess an affinity for hair. When included in a hair treatment composition, these W095/23578 2 t 8 ~ 6 3 ~ PCT~P95/00716 liposomes deposit on the hair, are not eliminated during rinsing and can enhance the deposition on the hair of active ingredients with which they are combined.

Accordingly, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a process for the deposition of an active ingredient on hair by cationic liposomes.

In a second aspect, the present invention provides a composition comprising cationic liposomes and an active ingredient, which when applied to hair will cause enhanced deposition of the active ingredient on the hair than previously achievable.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

A preferred process according to the invention comprises the following steps:

(a) forming a dispersion of cationic liposomes incorporating the active ingredient, (b) processing the dispersion into a hair treatment composition, and (c) treating the hair with the composition.

We have found that the dispersion of step(a) may be prepared by the simple addition of solid cholesterol , along with the active ingredient, to an aqueous solution of cationic surfactant. This induces the formation of liposomes, and the structures so generated may be easily visualised using conventional contrast microscopy techniques.

2 ~ 8~6:35 - W095123578 PCT~P95/00716 The concentration of cationic surfactant in the liposomal dispersion is suitably from 2% to 10% by weight based on total weight, and the weight ratio of cholesterol to cationic surfactant is preferably 1:1.

Microscopy studies of liposomal dispersions prepared as above demonstrate at least partial encapsulation of the active ingredient in the liposomes. It is preferable to optimise such encapsulation to allow the best efficiency of deposition enhancement from the liposomal dispersions of the invention, although the exact mechanism by which this occurs is unclear. In general, it is less preferable to add the active ingredient at a later stage than addition of the liposomes, since this appears to be detrimental to encapsulation of the active ingredient by the liposomes.

However, in an alternative process according to the invention, a dispersion of cationic liposomes may be formed in situ in a hair treatment composition by the inclusion of liposomal components, typically cholesterol and cationic surfactant, during the processing stage. The active ingredient may then be incorporated into the composition after this stage.

In this alternative process, the concentration of cholesterol added during processing (by weight based on the total weight of the hair treatment composition) is suitably from 0.05 to 3%. e.g. 0.1 to 1~ and the concentration of cationic surfactant added during processing is suitably from 0.15 to 5%, e.g. 0.5 to 2%, by weight based on total weight of the hair treatment composition.

Surprisingly, this also provides a favourable route to effective liposomal encapsulation of the active ingredient.
It appears that in such a case, the whole of the compositional microstructure is altered so as to represent W095/23S78 2 1 ~ 3 6 3~ PCT~P95/00716 a favourable environment for active ingredient encapsulation.

The active ingredient is normally a water-insoluble or sparingly water-soluble substance, such as an oil which may take the form of a sunscreen. Among suitable sunscreens are, camphor derivatives, benzophenone compounds such as 4,4'-tetrahydroxy-benzophenone, sold commercially as Uvinul D50, and 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone, sold commercially as Eusolex 4360, dibenzoyl methane derivatives such as t-butyl-4-methoxydibenzoylmethane, sold commercially as Parsol 1789, and isopropyldibenzoyl methane, sold commercially as Eusolex 8020. Preferred sunscreen materials are cinn~m~tes, such as 2-ethylhexyl-p-methoxy cinn~m~te~
sold commercially as Parsol MCX, 2-ethoxy ethyl-p-methoxy cinnamate, sold commercially as Giv-Tan F and isoamyl-p-methoxy cinnamate, sold commercially as Neo-Heliopan E1000.

The active ingredient may also be an antidandruff agent, such as zinc pyrithione, and other 1-hydroxy pyridones. A
preferred antidandruff agent is the 1-hydroxy-2-pyridone derivative known as piroctone olamine, whose chemical name is 1-hydroxy-4-methyl-6-(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)-2-pyridone monoethanolamine salt, and which is sold under the trade name OCTIPIROX by Hoechst AG.

Other suitable active ingredients are vitamin E and derivatives thereof, volatile oils and perfumes.

The active ingredient is normally present in a concentration of from 0.005% to 5%, preferably from 0.085%
to 2~ by weight based on the total weight of the hair treatment composition. The optimum concentration of active ingredient will depend on the precise chemical nature of the active ingredient. For a sunscreen, if the composition comprises less than 0.005% by weight of the sunscreen, ~ W095l23578 2 1 8 ~ ~ ~ 5 PCT~P9S/00716 little benefit will be obtained and if greater than 5~ is present, it is unlikely that additional benefit will be obtained.

Examples of suitable cationic surfactants include:
quaternary ammonium hydroxides, e.g.
tetramethylammonium hydroxide, alkyltrimethyl~mmn~;um hydroxides in which the alkyl group has from about 8 to 22 carbon atoms, for example octyltrimethylammonium hydroxide, dodecyltrimethylammonium hydroxide, hexadecyltrimethylammonium hydroxide, cetyltrimethylammonium hydroxide and behenyltrimethylammonium hydroxide, benzyltrimethylammonium hydroxide, octyldimethylbenzylammonium hydroxide, decyldimethylbenzylammonium hydroxide, stearyldimethylbenzylammonium hydroxide, didodecyldimethylammonium hydroxide, dioctadecyldimethylammonium hydroxide, tallow trimethylammonium hydroxide, cocotrimethylammonium hydroxide, and their corresponding salts, e.g. halides Cetylpyridinium hydroxide or its corresponding salts, e.g.
halide.

Preferred cationic surfactants are cetyl trimethylammonium chloride and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, hereinafter referred to as C.T.A.C. and C.T.A.B. respectively.

Compositions according to the present invention may further comprise one or more optional ingredients which are normally found in hair treatment compositions. The compositions of the invention will preferably take the form of post-wash hair conditioning compositions or hair treatment masques, but may also take the form of conditioning shampoos or hair styling compositions or the like.

W095/23578 2 1 8 ~ 6 3 5 PCT~P95/00716 One preferred optional component which may be included in the hair treatment compositions of the invention is a fatty alcohol or fatty acid, or derivative thereof, or a mixture of any of these, having a chain length of from about 8 to - 5 about 28 carbon atoms, more preferably from about 12 to about 18 carbon atoms.

Embodiments of the present invention will now be further illustrated by reference to the following examples. All amounts given are in % by weight, unless otherwise stated.

EXAMPLES:
Materials Cholesterol was 95%, as supplied by Aldrich Chemical Co.
CTAB was 99%, as supplied by Fluka AG. CTAC was obtained as a 50% solution (Arquad 16-50, obtained from AKZO).
Octipirox and Parsol MCX were obtained from Hoescht and Givaudan-Roure respectively.

W095l23S78 2 1 8 3 6 ~ 5 PCT~5/00716 Methods r T.i~osome Pre~aration CTAC was added to water at room temperature. Solid cholesterol was added, along with either Octipirox or Parsol MCX. The mixture was dispersed for three minutes with high shear at room temperature using a Silverson mixer. Liposome preparations were always 1:1 CTAC:
Cholesterol by weight, and were between 2 and 10~ CTAC.

Exam~les 1 to 3 Investigation of the affinity of liposomes for hair A liposome solution was prepared as above using the following ingredients:

Cholesterol 0.125~ (estimated total liposome concentration:
0.25%) CTAC 0.125%
Demineralized water Procedure Hair switches of the same quality weighing about lg were selected, and each switch immersed separately in 15ml of the prepared liposome solution. After removal of the switch, the concentration of each solution was investigated by measuring W absorbance at 400nm. The system was calibrated with two solutions having liposome concentration of 0.20% and 0.25%.

Results are given in Table 1:

2 2 hours 0.233%
3 16 hours 0.231%

Conclusion If all of the components in the solution are assumed to be in the form of liposomes, the results indicate that liposomes are deposited on hair, as a result of the affinity between the liposomes and the hair.
Exam~es 4 and 5 - Parsol MCX uptake by hair was examined:

- from the liposomal dispersion alone, and from micellar CTAB solution.

Procedure Hair switches were treated with 0.2g conditioner/g hair, and 4 x 4g switches were employed. Switches were extracted after rinsing with 100 ml of ethanol for 1 hour.

Parsol concentration in the ethanol solutions were determined using a calibration curve generated by several dilutions (in ethanol) of the initial liposome dispersion, or of Parsol MCX in ethanol. Absorbances were measured at a wavelength of 309 nm.

Choosing a higher level of CTAC and cholesterol (Example 7) clearly allows a higher level of Parsol to be retained if the final concentration is 0.2% Parsol MCX. By solubilising a lower level of Parsol MCX (0.85%, giving a final concentration of 0.085%) into 4% CTAC, 4%

Parsol MCX retention was studied from the following systems (using a conditioner base made up as described under Examples 6 to 8):

Comparative Example D : Conditioner with a post-addition of 0.085% Parsol MCX.
Example 9 : Conditioner with a 10% post-addition of a dispersion of 0.85% Parsol MCX, 4% Cholesterol, 4% CTAC.

Comparative Example F : Conditioner with 1.1% CTAC (extra) added in the fatty phase during processing, with 0.085% Parsol and 0.4% Cholesterol added post-processing.
Example 10 : Conditioner with 1.1% CTAC, 0.4%
Cholesterol added in the fatty phase during processing, and 0.2% Parsol MCX added post-processing.

Comparative Example G : Conditioner with 1.1% CTAC added in the fatty phase during processing, and 0.2%

-The procedure followed was equivalent to that described above for Examples 6 to 8.
Results are detailed in Table 4:

Example lO 1,825 9.1 Comparative 1,300 6.4 Example G

The results suggest that addition of the pre-prepared liposomal components incorporating Parsol MCX after conditioner processing leads to the most effective Parsol MCX retention. However, adding a higher Parsol MCX
concentration, after having processed the liposome components into the conditioner (Example 10), is also an effective route to high Parsol MCX retention. In this case, the inclusion of cholesterol at the processing stage seems to have a profound effect on the structure of the conditioner.

_ W095/23578 2 1 8 3 6 ~ ~ PCT~P95/00716 Ex~m~le 11 U~take of Octi~irox from fullY formulated conditioners Octipirox retention was evaluated from the following conditioning formulations (the conditioner base being made up as described under Examples 6 to 8):

Comparatlve Example H : Conditioner with Octipirox (0.1%) added post-processing in the perfume phase.
Example 11 : Conditioner with a 10% addition of 5% CTAC, 5% Cholesterol and 1% Octipirox.

Comparative Example I : Conditioner with a 10% addition of 5% CTAC, 5% Cholesterol, and with 0.1%
octipirox added separately in the perfume phase.

Procedure lg switches were treated with either lg or 0.2g of conditioner + additive (1 minute application). After a 1 minute rinse, each switch was placed into a centrifuge tube and 10 ml of a solution comprising:
4% Acetic acid (12%) 2% Iron (II) sulphate solution (0.17M, acidified with HCl) 94% Methanol was added.

After 35 minutes (+/- 30) seconds in contact with the switch, the mixture was centrifuged at 3500 rpm for 5 minutes. Octipirox content in the supematant was estimated W095/23578 ~ i 8 ~ 6 ~5 PCT~Pg5/00716 from absorbance measurement at 462nm, using a previously determined calibration curve.

The results are shown in Table 5:

As was found with Parsol MCX, inclusion of the Octipirox into the liposomal dispersion offers a route to enhancement of retention of x2.

Conclusions 1) Addition of cholesterol to CTAC or CTAB solutions induces formation of coarse liposomes. The structures generated can easily be visualised using contrast microscopy techniques.

2) 1:1 CTAC : cholesterol liposomes are able to partially solubilise an active ingredient such as Parsol MCX or Octipirox.

~ i ~3h35 _ W095/23578 PCT~P95/00716 3) When fully incorporated into a liposomal dispersion, Parsol MCX retention on hair can be increased by about 25% relative to retention from a micellar control.

4) When added as a component of a liposomal premix to a post-wash conditioner, up to 50% enhancement of the retention of both Parsol MCX and Octipirox may be achieved.
