Description

COMPOSITION FOR TOPICALLY DELIVERING VITAMIN C
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
This application claims priority from United States patent application 09/614,691, filed July 13, 2000 and entitled "Composition for the Topical Delivery of Vitamin C", the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
BACKGROUND
L-ascorbic acid, generally known as vitamin C, is an essential requirement in the diets of primates, including humans. Vitamin C is necessary for the normal synthesis of collagen. Deficiencies in vitamin C leads to impairment of peptidyl hydroxylation of procollagen and a reduction in collagen formation and collagen secretion by connective tissue. The manifestations of vitamin C deficiency include fragile capillaries leading to hemorrhages and poor wound healing. Additionally, vitamin C deficiency leads to atrophy of the dermis layer of the skin which causes wrinkles and wounds.
Vitamin C can be taken orally. However, it is advantageous in some conditions to apply vitamin C topically to a site where connective tissue formation is needed.
These conditions include evidential signs of aging such as wrinkling caused by environmental exposure such as actinic aging caused by exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
Most currently known compositions for the topical application of vitamin C
contain only water-soluble analogs of vitamin C, such as L-ascorbic acid, in an aqueous vehicle that delivers the vitamin C immediately at the application site. Some of these compositions cause a significant incidence of irritation at the application site. Additionally, many forms of vitamin C, such as L-ascorbic acid, used in these preparations are very unstable in an aqueous vehicle and do not penetrate intact skin well.
Therefore, it would be useful to have a composition for the topical application of vitamin C which can be used to deliver vitamin C to a specific site over an extended period of time. It would also be useful to have a composition for the topical application of vitamin C, which has a lower incidence of irritation at the application site. Further, it would be useful to have a composition for the topical application of vitamin C in which the form of vitamin C is more stable.
SUMMARY
In one embodiment, there is provided a composition for the topical application of vitamin C. The composition comprises one or more lipid-soluble forms of vitamin C, one or more water-soluble forms of vitamin C and one or more alpha hydroxylated acids.

DESCRIPTION
According to one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a composition for the topical application of vitamin C. The composition supplies usable vitamin C to a specific area to promote collagen formation which thickens the dermis, thereby diminishing fme skin lines and wrinkles, among other benefits. The composition comprises one or more water-soluble forms of vitamin C and one or more lipid-soluble forms of vitamin C. The composition also comprises one or more alpha hydroxylated acids. The use of both a lipid-soluble form and a water-soluble form of vitamin C in the same composition synergistically increases total surface penetration of vitamin C.
The use of the at least one alpha hydroxylated acid additionally enhances the skin penetration of the vitamin C
analogs.
All amounts disclosed herein are given in weight percent of the total weight of the composition.
The water-soluble form of vitamin C included in the composition provides immediate, antioxidant effects to the application site. Suitable water-soluble forms of vitamin C for use in the present composition include L-ascorbic acid or mineral salts of ascorbic acid, such as sodium ascorbate, potassium ascorbate or magnesium ascorbate. In a preferred embodiment, the water-soluble forms of vitamin C for use in the present composition is ascorbic acid, ultra-fine available from Roche Vitamins, Inc., Parsippany, NJ
US. In a preferred embodiment, the one or more water-soluble forms of vitamin C is present in an amount of between about 3 % and about 20 % by weight of the total weight of the composition, and particularly between about 8 % and about 15 % by weight of the total weight of the composition.
The lipid-soluble form of vitamin C included in the composition increases the penetration of the vitamin C component of the composition and is converted to ascorbic acid within the dermis. Further, the lipid-soluble form is more stable than the water-soluble form of vitamin C and helps insure that the vitamin C component of the present invention remains in a usable form during storage.
Suitable lipid-soluble forms of vitamin C for use in the present composition include an ester of vitamin C. In a preferred embodiment, the lipid-soluble form of vitamin C is tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate available from Barnet Products Corp. , Englewood Cliffs, NJ

In a preferred embodiment, the one or more lipid-soluble forms of vitamin C is present in an amount of between about 2 % and about 20 % by weight of the total weight of the composition, and particularly between about 5 % and about 10 % by weight of the total weight of the composition.
The composition of the present invention also comprises one or more alpha hydroxylated acids which functions as a skin penetration enhancer. The alpha hydroxylated acid increases skin surface cell exfoliation, thereby increasing the penetration of the vitamin C into the skin. The alpha hydroxylated acid or acids also decrease fine skin lines and wrinkles and increases the moisturizing effect of the composition.
In one embodiment, alpha hydroxylated acid has between about 8 and about 12 carbon groups. Suitable alpha hydroxylated acids for use in the present composition include alpha hydroxylated acids selected from the group consisting of 1) alpha hydroxylated caprylic acid (Lipoamidroxy 8TM, item # 85712), 2) alpha hydroxylated capric acid (Lipoamidroxy 10'~, item # 85715), and 3) alpha hydroxylated lauric acid (Lipoamidroxy 12'~, item #
85714), available from Tri-K Industries, Northvale, NJ US. Additionally, more than one alpha hydroxylated acid can be used together.
