Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

Compositions containing an organic sunscreen and particular substituted dialkyl malonates adjuvants therefor are very effective in providing broad spectrum sunscreen protection.

Description

I~is invention rel.ates -to the use of dialkyl malonates as or~anic sunscreen adjuvants (PM-l) Extensive s-tudies have been made of the ultra-violet radiation of sunlight and skylight reaching the sur-~ace of the earth and the ef~ects of such radiation on the human skin. It has been established that the radiation between 290 n~mometers and 315 nanometers produces sub-stantially all of the burning, or erythemal energy, and a substantial portion of the tanning energy, while the between 315 nanometers and 400 nanometers promotes incident tanning~
The cosmetic industry has divided these spectra into respec-tively W-B, and W-A. The dif~erent intensities and the erythemal and tanning effectiveness of the various wave lengths within these ranges have been established and meth ods have been determined for calculating accurately their effects on normal untanned skin.
Approximately 76% of the physiological tanning potential of sunlight is found in the ultraviolet range between ~90 nanometers and 315 nanometers, the so-called W-B or erythema area' the balance is ~ound in the range between 315 nanometers and 400 nanometers, the so-called W-A tanning area.
Typical organic sunscreenssuch as 2-ethylhexyl para methoxy cinnamate, homomenthyl salicylate, p-amino-benzoic acid and its esters, p-dimethyl amino benzoates, hydroxy and dihydroxy-4-methoxy benzophenones, and ben~al-phthalides provide protection in the ~rythemal W -B area, but lesser protection in the tanning areaO
It is becoming increasingly apparent that ultra-violet in the tanning UV-A area can also have detrimental ~ - :L -3~

effects on skin health, e.g. causing premature aging as well as skin cancer. Accordingly, the need has developed for more effective broad spectrum sunscreens to filter out ~he entire radiation. This need can mean disrupting established formulation prDcedures, with the usual cosmetic oil carriers.
Some malonates have been disclosed as UV
absorbers for industrial uses. Typically they are com-pletely unsuitable for cosmetic purpose in human applications, e.g~ German Patent No~ 1,087,902. A malonate, diethyl p-dimethyl-amino-benzalmalonate has been disclosed in U.S.
Patent No. 3,895,10~ as a conventional UV absorber in a polyamide resin film, but actually provides substantially no protection, even in the burning range.
It has now been found that particular sub-stituted dialkyl malonates provide surprising protection in the tanning area, particularly around 370 nanometers, and are compatible with and adjuvants for organic sunscreens.
This permits of utilizing established formulation procedures.
The adjuvants of this invention are substituted dialkyl malonates in which the R alkyl ~roup has from 1 to 5 carbon atoms as illustrated in the following moiety:
H ~ / COOR
-- C = C
COOR
The efficacy of the dialkyl malonates as adju-vants are determined in a empiric manner. Thus the parti-~~~cularly preferred compounds are p-methoxy benzal diethyl malonate, p-methoxy benzal diisobutyl malonate, cinnamal diethyl malonate, indolal diethyl malollate, fural dietl~

,~ _ ~5~3~
~alonate, and 3,4,5-trimethoxy benzal diethyl malonate. The cinnamal compound is especially effective~
The adjuvants of this invention are prepared by a typical knoevenagel reaction.

~ COOC2H5 R' - C - H + CH2 benzoic acid piperidine ~

H 0 + R' - C = C

R' = aromatic The solids are crystallized from e.g. isopropanol and the liquids are fractionately distilled off under vacuum.
The organic sunscreens with which the adjuvants of this invention are employed are discussed above. A
benzalphthalide may also be used, U.S Patent No. 4,333,920, particularly 4-pentoxybenzalphthalide.
The overall composition adapted for application to the human skin thus comprises a cosmetic oil carrier known to the trade, e.g. mineral, vegetable and animal oils and isopropyl myristate, with an organic sunscreen, and an ad-juvant of this invention~ The sunscreen and the adjuvant are utilized in an amount sufficient to provide the desired pro-tection for the skin. Typical total amounts of sunscreens and adjuvants comprise up to about 10 wt. % of the composi-tion.
This invention, product workup and properties ~-of the composition will be bet-ter understood by re~erence to the following non-limiting examples~
Example 1 A mixture containing 35,' 2,~-dihydroxy~ ethoxy ~ s~
benzophenone and 65% cinnamal diethyl malonate produced a total block when used at a concentration of between 5% to 10% in the final composition.
Exa~le 2 Between 5% - 6% of a mixture containing 50%
2-ethylhexyl-p-dimethylamino benzoate and 50% diethyl cinnamal malonate produced a total block.
Exa~ple 3 Between 5% - 5.5% of a mixture containing 50%
2-ethylhexyl-p-methoxy cinnamate and 50% diethyl cinnamal malonate produced a total block.
Example 4 Between 4.5% - 5% of a mixture containing 25%
4-pentoxy benzalphthalide and 75% diethyl p-methoxy benzal malonate produced a total block.
Example 5 Between 5% - 6% of a mixture containing 30%
diisobutyl p-methoxy benzal malonate and 70% 4-pentoxy benzal phthalide produced a total block.
Example 6 Between 3% - 4% of a mixture containing 50%
p-methoxy benzalphthalide and 50% diethyl fural malonate produced a total block.
Other formulations according to this invention provide similar results.
Substituted derivatives of the adjuvants of this invention can be employed, particularly o~ the cinnamal diethyl malonate.
~ hese examples demonstrate that the materials of this inven~ion in even small ~lantities are e~tremely .~ _ effective adjuvants for organic sunscreens and remedy the short-comings of the latter.
~ s can be seen, mixtures of the materials of this invention, and also the organic sunscreens, can be employed where desired.
The advantages of this invention will be ap-parent to the skilled in the art. Improved, highly effec-tive, novel broad spectrum sunscreen compositions are made available, utilizing a dialkyl malonate.
It will be understood that this invention is not limited to the specific examples which have been offered as particular embodiments, and that modifications can be made without departing from the spirit thereof.

_ , SUPPLEMENT~RY DISCLOSURE
As mentioned in the principal disclosure, partic-ular dialkyl malonates have been found useful as organic sunscreen adjuvants providing effective protection in the tanning area, especially around 370 nanometers~ These partic-ular dialkyl malonates are p~methoxy benzal diethyl malonate, p-methoxy benzal diisobutyl malonate, cinnamal diethyl malonate, indolal diethyl malonate, fural diethyl malonate and 3,4,5 trimethoxy benzal diethyl malonate.
It has now been further found that a substituted cinnamal diethyl malonate is especially useful in the present invention. This additional compound is diethyl-~ methyl cinnamal malonate having the following structural formula:

CH = C - CH = C \
CH3 COOC2~5 Accordingly, a feature of the invention with which this supplementary disclosure is concerned with resides in the provision o-f a composition adapted for application to the ~0 human skin, comprising a cosmetic oil carrier containing distributed therein an effective amount to provide substantial protection against erythemal and tanning radiation of an organic sunscreen selected from the group consisting of 2-ethylhexyl para methoxy cinnamate, homomenthyl salicylate, p-amino benzoic acid and its esters, p-dimethyl amino benzoates, hydroxy and dihydroxy-4-methoxy benzophenones, and benzalphthalides, and as an adjuvant therefor diethyl- ~ -methyl cinnamal malonate.
In another aspect, there is also provided a method of protecting the human skin from the effects of erythema and tanning radiation in sunlight, ~hich comprises ~ - 6 -applying to the skin an effective sunscreening amount of an organic sunscreen as defined above, and as an adjuvant there-for diethyl- ~ -methyl cinnamal malonate.
The following additional example further illustrates the invention.
Example 7 Between 5% - 6% of a mixture containing 50% 4-pentoxybenzalphthalide and 50% diethyl-,~ -methyl cinnamal malonate produced a total block.
