A Memorable Formulation Experience
…by Paul Thau
Development of an Innovative “Petrolatum Hydrating Aerosol Foam” that was Made Possible by Contributions from Individuals with Diverse Skills
E
arly in my cosmetic industry career, several dermatologists, particularly Dr. Albert Kligman, had endorsed the use of petrolatum as a particularly effective skin hydrating and protective agent for patients experiencing extremely dry and scaly skin. Dr. Kligman frequently stated at professional meetings that the first company to overcome the cosmetic inelegance of petrolatum without altering it’s moisturizing efficacy would have a breakthrough product for routine cosmetic use.
Development of a Petrolatum Hydrating Aerosol Foam I was pleasantly surprised during the mid-1980’s when a colleague representing Alcolac Chemical informed me that his firm had been able to develop a fluid emulsion containing 40% petrolatum USP (“Vaseline” grade). This was indeed a development that defied my intuitive expectation. Fortuitously, an R&D colleague
of mine was able to test this 40% petrolatum lotion vs. Vaseline grade petrolatum by the classical Kligman Regression Test procedure with a dry skin clinical panel for moisturizing efficacy. The results indicated equal efficacy. However, the 40% petrolatum lotion was also judged by the panelists to have tacky application properties and therefore was not considered to be cosmetically acceptable. In the laboratory, I found the 40% petrolatum lotion to be unstable when I attempted to dilute it with water to reduce the concentration of petrolatum. Since the supplier had not provided me with the quantitative composition of this lotion, I embarked upon developing my own emulsion using a range of petrolatum levels from 20% to 30%. I also decided to include 5.0% cyclomethicone and 3.0% DRY FLO™ to improve application and sensory properties. The quantitative formulation chosen with the best stability and application aesthetics is shown below: Table I. Petrolatum emulsion concentrate Ingredient Water Petrolatum USP Cyclomethicone Aluminum starch octenylsuccinate Steareth-2 Steareth-20 Imidazolidinyl urea Methylparaben Propylparaben Carbomer 941 Triethanolamine Sodium cetyl-stearyl sulfate Cetyl alcohol (viscosity modifier) Disodium EDTA

NYSCC OCTOBER CHAPTER MEETING
Safety Assessment and Cosmeticovigilance
®
Pleasantdale Château, West Orange, NJ October 3, 2013 • 4:00 – 6:30 p.m.
P
harmacovigilance is the science of collection, detection, assessment, monitoring, and prevention of adverse effects with pharmaceutical products. The pharmaceutical industry is obligated to collect reported complaints from patients, healthcare providers, medical literature, regulatory entities, and industry. Such reporting may include lack of efficacy, medication errors such as overdose, and misuse or abuse of a drug. In fact, in order to market a pharmaceutical product in most countries, adverse event data received by the license holder (usually a pharmaceutical company) must be submitted to the local drug regulatory authority. Similarly Cosmeticovigilance is the collection and analysis of adverse effects of cosmetic products. The FDA had instituted “MedWatch” a program for the reporting of adverse effects due to the use of cosmetic and personal care products. “Even though these products are widely used, most don’t require FDA approval before they are sold in stores, salons, and at make-up counters,” says Linda Katz, M.D., Director of the agency’s Office of Cosmetics and Colors. “So, consumers are one of FDA’s most important resources when it comes to identifying problems.” Katz says consumers should contact the FDA if they experience a rash, hair loss, infection, or other problems, even if they did not follow product directions. The FDA also wants to know if a product has a bad smell or unusual color, which could signal contamination, or if the item’s label is incomplete or inaccurate. In recent decades, our industry gradually has focused more and more on studying the safety of ingredients and finished formulations. Known regulation initiatives such as REACH, the 7th amendment, the global watch for the 3R’s (Reduction, Refinement and Replacement of animal testing) brought about immense activity to find ways to ensure the safety of products. We are still struggling with finding the right “recipe” to follow when testing for safety and look for a simple, harmonized approach of evaluation. Toxicology, however, cannot be generalized. It must be customized for each and every raw material and/or formulation based on a variety of factors. How to approach safety testing in such an environment? What path do we choose that will reduce chances of reported adverse reactions and be compliant with changing regulations, and minimize litigation risk? This unique mini-seminar is put together to clarify key outstanding issues and educate on potential paths to choose. Three experts will take part in this meeting. Dr. Pushpa Rao, Sr. Manager Global product Safety/NAM Regulatory Affairs at Energizer Personal Care, will begin with a global overview on current requirements and methodologies. Dr. Nava Dayan, Pharmaceutical, Cosmetic, Personal Care Industry Expert, will delve into the specific limitations associated with RIPT. Trenton Norris, Senior Partner at Arnold & Porter LLC, will discuss issues and compliance to California’s Proposition 65 to prepare for possible litigation.

Abstract:
A
mong the reported adverse effects to cosmetics is skin rash (irritation) and allergic reaction (sensitization). Repetitive Insult Patch Test (RIPT) is aimed to detect primary irritation and type 4 sensitization. But is the RIPT sufficient in covering the array of potential incidences with exposure? In this presentation we will discuss skin irritation and sensitization reactions in skin, list key advantages and limitations of RIPT, and identify gaps that if addressed may assist in producing safer products.

alifornia's Proposition 65 has bedeviled scientific and regulatory professionals for over 25 years. The law is characterized by its ever-changing list of chemicals, its lack of numerical standards, and its variety of open, but fundamental, questions. In this presentation, Trent Norris, a leading Proposition 65 defense attorney, will (1) review trends in chemical listings, focusing on chemicals of interest for personal care products; (2) detail the scientific methods used to develop threshold levels (NSRLs and MADLs) for chemicals; and (3) walk through an example of how to assess exposures for personal care products in order to evaluate compliance and prepare for possible litigation.

A Memorable Formulation Experience
Innovation for Hair & Skin

The formulation shown in Table I exhibited good flow properties as well as satisfactory stability at elevated temperatures, room temperature, and freeze/thaw conditions. My conventional expectation was that the Marketing department would have been interested in marketing this formulation in a plastic bottle with a pump dispenser. However, to my surprise, they insisted in having this petrolatum emulsion concentrate delivered as a foam/mousse. The vogue at that time (the late 1980s) was for aerosol foam delivery systems to be used for hair conditioning and styling products, but rarely for skin treatment products. I reviewed the feasibility of dispensing this lotion as foam utilizing the basic hydrocarbon propellants (such as A-46) found in shaving cream foams. My judgment was that this request had a low probability for success because the emulsion concentrate contained 20% petrolatum with less than 2.0% of nonionic emulsifiers. Since I had learned from challenging projects in the past not to reject “blue sky” requests summarily, I decided to visit a local aerosol facility to determine if my judgment was correct or not. Since Cosmair R&D (my place of employment) did not have an aerosol laboratory at that time, I arranged to meet Mac Bhuta, Director of Aerosol Technology at an aerosol facility located in Linden, NJ. During our initial discussions, Mac also expressed skepticism about the feasibility of obtaining satisfactory foam with our emulsion concentrate containing a high concentration of petrolatum. Nevertheless, he agreed to proceed with a formulation utilizing conventional aerosol propellants.

(Continued from page 1)
Several aerosol foam trials with various concentrations of propellant blend A-46 were deemed to be unsatisfactory because the foams were loose and coarse. However, as I was about to leave, Mac Bhuta thought of an alternate propellant blend, Freon 152A/A17 (60/40), to use since it possesses special properties because of it high density. To my surprise and exhilaration, his suggestion proved to be “on target” in producing a fine textured foam with good consistency. We finalized our formulation with a ratio of 93% petrolatum emulsion concentrate and 7.0% propellant 152A/A17 (60/40). A consumer panel test conducted two months later documented that this “Petrolatum Body Mousse” composition delivered on its promised end benefits of moisturizing, protecting, and leaving the skin soft and smooth. Lancôme, Inc. commercialized this product in 1990 as Crème Mousse Hydratant. This product remained on the market for over eight years. Other foam/mousse skin care products based upon this patented technology were subsequently developed.1 Overall, I was proud of this innovative development, primarily because of the positive

feedback that I received related to this products efficacy in treating dry skin and winter itch. However, I gratefully acknowledge that this development would not have come to fruition without the contributions from several other individuals, particular those of Mac Bhuta. This experience reinforced for me the essential role that effective collaborations between individuals with diverse skills and expertise have for the development of innovative products.
Update on Safety and Efficacy of Petrolatum USP for Cosmetic and Dermatological Applications Safety: Some beauty companies are promoting petrolatum alternatives because of the trend to use natural emollients and due to unsubstantiated safety concerns related to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) content in refined petrolatum. However,

cosmetic and pharmaceutical petrolatum grades meeting United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) standards are highly refined and must meet all of the standards, including limits for PAHs. While no studies have ever shown a direct link between petrolatum and cancer, the European Union has placed numerous poorly refined grades of petrolatum on a list of dangerous substances. The European Union only allows refined grades of petrolatum, which meet stringent standards for PAH content, to be used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. Current information related to Petrolatum and Regulatory Requirements can be found at: http://calumetspecialty.com/pdf/articles/NPRA2003 _Pet_Regulations.pdf. Efficacy: In a study by R. Ghadially and coworkers, barrier recovery was measured in petrolatum treated versus untreated skin sites after acetoneinduced barrier disruption in human volunteers.2 In addition, petrolatum was localized within the corneum with tracers and ruthenium tetroxide staining, which allowed visualization of the penetration depth of petrolatum and its relation to intercellular membrane structures. Overall, they found that petrolatum accelerated, rather than impeded, barrier recovery. Moreover, petrolatum was present within the interstices at all levels of the stratum corneum, where it replaced intercellular bilayers. Thus, it was concluded that petrolatum neither forms nor acts like an epicutaneous impermeable membrane; instead, it permeates throughout the stratum corneum interstices, allowing normal barrier recovery despite its occlusive properties.
