Definitions
- This invention relates to a method and composition for the prevention and/or treatment of scaling conditions of the scalp, such as dandruff, seborrhoeic dermatitis and psoriasis.
- Previously known methods for preventing and treating dandruff generally involve applying to the scalp various anti-dandruff agents contained in lotions, gels and shampoos.
- anti-dandruff agents include sulphur and selenium compounds, zinc pyrrithione and bacteriostatic and bacteriacidal agents such as, for example, hexachlorophene.
- the use of such anti-dandruff agents can give rise to adverse reactions, for example allergic reactions and erythematous lesions. Consequently, known anti-dandruff agents cannot be used in the long term and it is frequently found that dandruff symptoms recur.
- Known anti-dandruff agents are often difficult to formulate into cosmetically acceptable compositions .
- UK Patent No. GB 2,205,743 described the finding that propylene glycol is effective as an anti-dandruff agent and that a significant anti-dandruff effect may be observed following application of propylene glycol to the scalp, e.g. in the form of a lotion, gel or shampoo.
- Propylene glycol when used in accordance with the teachings of GB 2,205.743. avoided undesirable side effects which occur
- Propylene glycol has hitherto also been described for use as a diluent, thinning agent or vehicle for various pharmaceutical products including such products intended for topical use.
- carboxylic acid derivatives as active ingredients for treating keratinization defects.
- DE-A-2,758,484 describes the use of chenodesoxic acid as the active ingredient of anti-dandruff compositions including lotions, gels and shampoos.
- This specification mentions propylene glycol as an ingredient of such compositions but not as an active ingredient.
- compositions containing as active ingredient, inter alia arginine or arginine citrate.
- Such compositions can contain relatively small proportions of propylene glycol as diluent along with relatively larger
- GB-A-1,140,443 describes an antiseptic composition consisting of a saturated solution of salicylic acid in propylene glycol and in addition an antiseptic selected from sodium
- compositions of GB-A-1,140,443 generally contained more than 10 wt % of salicylic acid and the patent is not concerned at all with treatment of dandruff or seborrhoeic dermatitis.
- a possible reason for the actions of the combination therapy of the invention is that combinations of propylene glycol and
- salicylic acid have enhanced activity against Pityrosporum ovale, an organism that is now thought to be implicated as an aetiological agent responsible for both psoriasis and seborrhoeic dermatitis and possibly also dandruff. Further the combinations of propylene glycol and salicylic acid exhibit an enhanced keratolytic action.
- composition for use in the treatment of scaling conditions of the scalp including dandruff, seborrhoeic dermatitis and psoriasis which comprises as active ingredients, propylene glycol and salycylic acid. together with a topically acceptable excipient, the propylene glycol being present in a concentration of not greater than 50 wt % and the salicylic acid being present in a concentration of not greater than 10 wt %.
- the concentration of propylene glycol is from to 50 wt %, most preferably from 10 to 40 wt %.
- the salicylic acid is preferably present in a concentration of from 1 to 6 wt U, most preferably from 1 to 3 wt %.
- compositions according to the invention may be formulated in the form of solutions, lotions or gels suitable for topical application, or in the form of a shampoo.
- Compositions according to the invention may contain any conventional incidental adjuvents, for example, emolients, thickening agents, foaming agents, perfumes, colouring agents, stabilising agents, pH-adjusting agent and preservatives as well as water and/or ethanol.
- Shampoos in accordance with the invention typically contain conventional detergent and/or surfactants to provide any necessary foaming and cleansing action.
- the shampoos will contain perfuming ingredients and colouring agents and if desired other agents to make the product cosmetically acceptable, e.g. pearling agents, thickeners etc.
- a method of treating dandruff and/or seborrhoeic dermatitis and/or psoriasis which comprises applying a composition according to the invention to the affected region.
- compositions may be applied to the affected region at regular intervals of, for example. 1-5 and preferably 1-10 days.
- the shampoo should be left on the hair, for example, for 1-5 minutes to enable the therapeutic effects of the proplylene glycol and salicylic acid to occur.
- a lotion or gel also in accordance with the invention should be rubbed into the scalp and left in situ for 10 to 15 minutes. This combination of treatments has been found further to enhance the efficacy of the combination therapies of the invention.
- the invention thus further provides a kit for use in the treatment of scaling conditions of the scalp, including dandruff, seborrhoeic dermatitis and psoriasis, comprising
- a specific combination therapy according to the invention comprises
