URIC ~CID IN AQUEOUS COSMETIC COMPOSITION

The present invention xelates to an aqueous cosmetic composition containing stably solubilized uric acid together with a water-soluble polymer, especially, an acrylic polymer, and a method for stab]y solubilizing uric acid in an aqueous cosm~tic composition.

Uric acid as well as its salts and derivatives (hereinafter they are simply referred to as "uric acid"
altogether) are used in various cosmetic compositions as a subst:rate of one of oxidases, uricase, an agent for improving solubility of a dye, a moisturizer stabilizer, an ingredient for preventing skin roughness, an antidandruff ingredient, and the like. For example, JP 61-118312 A discloses a keratin fiber dyeing composition of pH 4 to 10.5 which comprises uric acid as an a~ent for improving solubility of a specific dye, i.e., N-substituted-2-nitro--p-phenylenediamine, an ampholytic surf~ctant and a thickener including polyacrylic acid, and a method for dyeing keratin fiber using the composition. JP

61-18320~ A discloses a cosmetic composition comprising a moisturizer and uric acid as a stabilizer for the moisturizer.
JP 63-246313 A (USP 4,961,925) discloses a hair cosmetic compcsition of pH 7.5 to 8.5 which comprises dielectron reducing 5 oxida.se, uric acid as a donor of the enzyme and the like. JP
1-275511 A discloses a topical composition for external skin use containing uric acid to prevent skin roughness. JP 1-275516 A discloses an antidandruff composition containing uric acid.
JP 8-217652 (EP 0716846 A) discloses an oxidation hair dyeing 10 composition of pH 6.7 to 9.5 which comprises uric acid, potassium hydroxide and/or monoethanolamirle and the like.
On the other hand, sinc:e the water-solubility of uric acid is very low such as about 0.0067%, at present, only a small amount of uric acid can be used in the case of an aqueous 15 solubilized system. :[n addition, in the case of a dispersion system wherein uric ac id is added in excess of its solubility, there are many problems such a<, precipitation of uric acid, limi.ation of containers to be used for packaging end products due to clogging of orifices thereof and the like.

Moreover, although uric acid can be solubilized in water to a certain extent by app:ropriately choosing an alkali, mere solubilization is insufficient for practical use due to such prob.Lems as drip and less fitness for hair or skin upon application, and the like. Then, in practice, it is necessary to add surfactants and polymers in view of suitability for use.
However, in aqueous cosmetic compositions containing surfactants and polymers, no satisfactory technique for stably solubilizing uric acid has yet been found.

One object of the present invention is to provide a techniqueforstablysol.ubilizinguricacidinanaqueouscosmetic compcsition containing uric acid and a water-soluble polymer.
This object as well as other objects and advantages of the present invention will bec:ome apparent to those skilled in the art from the following description with reference to the accompanying drawing.

Fig. 1 illustrates ti1ration curves of a uric acid solut:ion in water with various a.lkalis.

The present inventors have studied intensively the behaviour of uric ac:id in an aqueous cosmetic composition.
As a result, it has been found that uric acid can be stably solubilized in such a composition by combining a specific polymer and an alkali and adjusting pH of the composition to a specific range.

That is, in one aspect, the present invention provides an aqueous cosmetic composition cc,ntaining uric acid in a stably solubilized state which comprises uric acid, an acrylic polymer, an alkali and water, said composition being adjusted to pH equal to or higher than pKl of uric acid, in particular, pH 7 or higher by the alkali to solubilize uric acid.
In another aspect, the present invention provides a method for stably solubilizing uric acid in an aqueous cosmetic compo,itionwhich comprises adjustingpHofthecomposition equal to or higher than pK1 of uric acid, in particular, pH 7 or higher by an alkali to solubilize uric acid.
In the present invention, preferred examples of the acrylic polymer incluc.e carboxyvinyl polymers, copolymers of acrylic and methacrylic acid polymers and alkyls, copolymers of acrylic and methacrylic acid polymers and polyoxyethylene glycol ether of higher alcohols, and betaine type acrylic amphoteric polymers. Preferred examples of the alkali include amines.
According to the presentinvention, a relativelylarge amount of uric acid such as 0.01 to 2.0% by weight can be stably solubilized to provide an aqueous cosmetic composition, for example, hair dyeing composition which exhibits excellent activity of uric acid and sufficient effect of the water-soluble polymer.

The terms "stably solubilizing" and "stably solub-lized state" used herein mean that uric acid is maintained in a solubilized state without separation in a cosmetic composition.
The term "accylic and methacrylic polymer" includes homopolymers and copolymers of acrylic acid, acrylates, methacrylic acid and/o:c methacrylates.
Examples of uric acid to be used in the present inven ion include, in addition to uric acid itself, inorganic salts of uric acid such as sodium urate, potassium urate, calcium urate, sodium hydrogen urate, potassium hydrogen urate, calcium hydrogen urate, etc.; organic salts of uric acid such as ammonium urate, ammonium hydrogen urate, salts of uric acid with various aminoacids, etc.; andvariousuricacidderivativessuch asalkyl modified uric acids (e.g., 3-N-methyl uric acid, 3-N-lauryl uric acid, 7-N-butyl uric acid, 1-N-ethyl uric acid, 9-N-lauryl uric acid, 3,7-N-dimethyluricacid,etc.),uricacidglycosides (e.g., 3-N-ribosyluricacid, "-N-glycosyluricacid, etc.) andthelike.
These uric acid, salts and derivatives can be used alone or in combinatior,and can be used in an amount of, as uric aciditself, O.Olto 2%byweight,F)referablyO.lto 1.3%byweight based on the total weight of the cosmetic composition. When the amount of uric acid is lower than 0.01~ by weight, its activity is incufficient. On the other hand, when the amount of uric acid is morethan 2% byweight, stablesolubilizationthereofis hardly expec1 ed.
The acrylic polymertobe usedin the present invention is not specifically limited and any polymer normally used in cosmetic compositions can be used. Examples thereof include carboxyvinyl polymers mainly composed of acrylic acid; acrylic and methacrylic acid-alkyl copolymers such as copolymers of acrylic and methacrylic acid polymers and alkyls; acrylic and metha_rylic acid polyoxyethylene glycol ether copolymers such as ccpolymers of acrylic and methacrylic acid polymers and polyo~yethylene glycol ethers of higher alcohols (e.g., higher alcohols having 12 to 32 carbon atoms); betaine type acrylic amphoteric polymers; and the like. Preferably, carboxyvinyl polymers, Aculyn ~TM) 22 (copolymer ofacrylicand methacrylic acid polymer and polyoxyethylene glycol ether of stearyl alcohol manufactured and sold by Rhom and Haas Company), CarbopolTM
(acrylic and methacrylic-alkyl copolymer manufactured and sold by B.F. Goodrich Co.), Yukaformer~TM)(copolymer of N-methacryloyloxyethyl N,N--dimethylammonium ~-N-methylcarboxylbetaine and methacrylic acid alkyl ester manuf~ctured and sold by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation) and the like can bè used. The acrylic polymer can be used alone or in combination in an amount suitable for providing the desired properties to the aqueous cosmetic composition, normally, 0.01 to 10.0% by weight, preferably, 0.1 to 5% by weight based on the totalweight of the composition, though theamount of the acrylic polymer is not specifically limited.
Examples of the alkali to be used in the present invent:ion include amines such as monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA), triethanolamine (TEA), 2-amino-2-methy:L-1-propanol (AMP), 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol (AMPD'I, 2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-propanediol (AHMPD), monoi,opropanolamine (MIPA), tetrakis(2-hydroxyisopropyl)ethylenediamine (TE) and the like. These alkalis can be used alone or in combination. It is possible to use ammonia and inorganic alkalis such as sodium hydroxide, potassiumhydroxideandthelikeirlsofarastheydonotadversely effect the advantages of the present invention. Although the amount of the alkali to be added to the composition is not speci~ically limited, the amount should be sufficient to adjus_ pH of the composition equal to or higher than pKl of uric i~cid, preferably, pH 7 or higher. Thereby, uric acid can be st~bly solubilized in an aqueous cosmetic composition.
Especially, in the present invention, it is preferred to use an amine as the ~lkali together with the acrylic polymer because uric acid can be solubilized very stably.
According to the present invention, uric acid is added to a major portion of water to be used for the production of the aqueous cosmetic composition and pH of the resultant mixture is adjusted to the desired pH, followed by addition of the acrylic polymerand,ifnecessary, warmingtodissolvethepolymer. Then, otheringredientsareaddedtoobtainthedesiredaqueouscosmetic compositioninvariouspreparationformssuchasgel, paste, cream and t.he like. Thus, an aqueous cosmetic composition for application to hair, sk.in, nails, oral cavity or the like, which conta.ins stably solubilized uric acid together with the acrylic polymer can be obtained.
In the present invention, according to the desired preparation form, sur:Eactants such as anionic surfactants, catio:nic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, etc.; oily agents such as higher alcohols, higher fatty acids, paraffin wax, hydro~arbon oils, ester oils, silicone oils, etc.; hair dyes such as oxidation dyes, direct dyes, etc.; higher alcohols such as glycerin, dipropylene glycol, hexaglycerin, etc.; saccharides such as sorbitol, fruct.ose, reduced maltose, etc.; thickeners;
preservatives; anti-oxidants; UV absorbers; metal chelating agents; enzymes such as uricase; various pharmacologically active ingredients; perfumes; and the like can be appropriately added in so far as they do not adversely effect the advantages of the present invention. It has been found that humectants such higher alcohols and saccharides improve solubilization of uric acid.
The following tests and examples further illustrate the present invention i.n detail but are not to be construed to limit the scope of the present :invention. In the tests and examples, all the "percents (%)" are by weight unless otherwise stated .
