Description

Cosmetic preparations

Field of the Invention

The invention is in the field of hair and skin care products and in the emulsions sector and relates to cosmetic preparations with selected alkoxylated carboxylic acid esters and polymers.

State of the art

Cosmetic preparations can be divided into cleaning and care products for skin and hair. Ever increasing demands are being placed on modern products by the consumer, of which the ecotoxicological compatibility, i.e. compatibility with the environment and the user has become a matter of course. The trend of the time today is rather in the direction of developing modules for different product types that combine a multitude of different properties and thus on the one hand enlarge the area of application and on the other hand simplify interchangeability. In the field of cosmetics, for example, there is a need for preparations that can also be called raw material compounds, which can be used both in the area of hair aging and in the skin care and sun protection sectors.

In the present case, the specific object of the invention was to provide mild cosmetic preparations which improve the combability, the soft feel and the tear resistance of hair, reduce their static charge and at the same time impart a pleasant feeling on the skin. If the preparations are in the form of emulsions, they should also have a sufficiently high stability even when stored at high temperatures. Description of the invention

The invention relates to cosmetic preparations, especially care products for the skin and hair, containing

(a) alkoxylated carboxylic acid esters and

(b) cationic, anionic, amphoteric, zwitterionic and / or nonionic polymers.

Surprisingly, it has been found that preparations which contain alkoxylated carboxylic acid esters as nonionic surfactants or emulsifiers together with the polymers mentioned improve both the wet and dry combability of hair, reduce the static charge and give the hair a pleasant soft feel and fullness and also increase the tensile strength. Another advantage of the mixtures is that they impart a pleasant feeling on the skin. Finally, the addition of the polymers to emulsions which contain alkoxylated carboxylic acid esters leads to higher emulsion stability, in particular when stored at high temperatures.

Alkoxylated carboxylic acid esters

Alkoxylated carboxylic acid esters which form component (a) are known from the prior art. For example, such alkoxylated carboxylic acid esters can be obtained by reacting alkoxylated carboxylic acids with alcohols. For the purposes of the present invention, however, the compounds are preferably prepared by reacting carboxylic acid esters with alkylene oxides using catalysts, in particular using calcined hydrotalcite according to German Offenlegungsschrift DE 3914131 A, which provide compounds with a restricted homolog distribution. Both carboxylic acid esters of monohydric alcohols and polyhydric alcohols can be alkoxylated by this process. According to the present invention, preference is given to using alkoxylated carboxylic acid esters of the formula (I)

R CO (AlkO) _n OR ² (I)

in which R ¹ CO stands for an aliphatic acyl radical with 6 to 30 C atoms, AlkO for alkylene oxide, n for numbers from 1 to 30 and R ² for an aliphatic alkyl radical with 1 to 8 carbon atoms. AlkO stands for the alkylene oxides which are reacted with the carboxylic acid esters and include ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and / or butylene oxide, preferably ethylene oxide and / or propylene oxide, in particular ethylene oxide alone. Particularly suitable are alkoxylated carboxylic acid esters of the formula (I) in which R ¹ CO is a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated acyl radical having 6 to 22 and in particular 10 to 18 carbon atoms, AlkO for ethylene oxide and / or propylene oxide, n on average for numbers 5 to 20 and R ^{2 is} an aliphatic alkyl radical having 1 to 8, preferably 1 to 4 carbon atoms and in particular methyl.

Examples of such carboxylic acids are caproic acid, caprylic acid, 2-ethylhexanoic acid, capric acid, lauric acid, isotridecanoic acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, stearic acid, isostearic acid, oleic acid, elaidic acid, petroselinic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, elaeostearic acid, arachidic acid, gadoleic acid, behenic acid and / or erucic acid.

Particularly suitable are alkoxylated carboxylic acid esters of the formula (I), in which R ¹ CO is a linear or branched, aliphatic, saturated and / or unsaturated acyl radical having 10 to 18 carbon atoms, AlkO for ethylene oxide and / or propylene oxide, preferably ethylene oxide, n for numbers from 5 to 20 and R ^{2 represents} a methyl radical. Examples of such compounds are methyl lauric acid, methyl coconut fatty acid and methyl tallow fatty acid alkoxylated with an average of 5, 7, 9 or 11 moles of ethylene oxide.

Alkyl and / or alkenyl oligoglycosides, their preparation and their use are known from the prior art. They are produced in particular by reacting glucose or oligosaccharides with polymeric alcohols having 8 to 18 carbon atoms. With regard to the glycoside residue, the fact that both monoglycosides in which a cyclic sugar residue is glycosidically bonded to the fatty alcohol, and also oligomeric glycosides with a degree of oligomation to preferably about 8 are suitable.

Zwitterionic surfactants are surface-active compounds that contain at least one quaternary ammonium group and at least one carboxylate and one sulfonate group in the molecule. special Other suitable zwitterionic surfactants are the so-called betaines such as the N-alkyl-N, N-dimethylammonium glycinate, for example coconut alkyldimethylammonium glycinate, N-acylaminopropyl-N, N-dimethylammonium glycinate, for example coconut acylaminopropyldimethylammonium glycinate, and 2-alkyl-3-carboxylate -hydroxyethylimidazolines each having 8 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl or acyl group and the cocoacylaminoethylhydroxyethylcarboxymethylglycinate. The fatty acid amide derivative known under the CTFA name of Cocamidopropyl Betaine is particularly preferred. Suitable emulsifiers are ampholytic surfactants. Ampholytic surfactants are surface-active compounds which, in addition to a Cβ / iβ alkyl or acyl group, contain at least one free amino group and at least one -COOH or -Sθ3H group in the molecule and are capable of forming internal salts.

Finally, cationic surfactants are also suitable as emulsifiers, those of the esterquat type, preferably methylquaternized difatty acid triethanolamine ester salts, being particularly preferred.

Substances such as, for example, lanolin and lecithin and polyethoxylated or acylated lanolin and lecithin derivatives, polyol fatty acid esters, monoglycerides and fatty acid alkanolamides can be used as superfatting agents, the latter simultaneously serving as foam stabilizers.

Pearlescent waxes, for example, are: alkylene glycol esters, especially ethylene glycol distearate; Fatty acid alkanolamides, especially coconut fatty acid diethanolamide; Partial glycerides, especially stearic acid monoglyceride; Esters of polyvalent, optionally hydroxy-substituted carboxylic acids with fatty alcohols having 6 to 22 carbon atoms, especially long-chain esters of tartaric acid; Fatty substances, such as, for example, fatty alcohols, fatty ketones, fatty aldehydes, fatty ethers and fatty carbonates, which have a total of at least 24 carbon atoms, especially lauron and distearyl ether; Fatty acids such as stearic acid, hydroxystearic acid or behenic acid, ring opening products of olefin epoxides with 12 to 22 carbon atoms with fatty alcohols with 12 to 22 carbon atoms and / or polyols with 2 to 15 carbon atoms and 2 to 10 hydroxyl groups and mixtures thereof.

Suitable consistency agents are primarily fatty alcohols or hydroxyfatty alcohols with 12 to 22 and preferably 16 to 18 carbon atoms and also partial glycerides, fatty acids or hydroxyfatty acids. A combination of these substances with alkyl oligoglucosides and / or fatty acid N-methylglucamides of the same chain length and / or polyglycerol poly-12-hydroxystearates is preferred. Suitable thickeners are, for example, Aerosil types (hydrophilic silicas), polysaccharides, in particular xanthan gum, guar guar, agar agar, alginates and tyloses, carboxymethyl cellulose and hydroxyethyl cellulose, and also higher molecular weight polyethylene glycol mono- and diesters of fatty acids, polyacrylates , (eg Carbopole® from Goodrich or Synthalene® from Sigma), polyacrylamides, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinylpyrrolidone, surfactants such as ethoxylated fatty acid glycerides, esters of fatty acids with polyols such as pentaerythritol or trimethylolpropane, fatty alcohol ethoxylates with a narrow homolog distribution or alkyl oligogluide Electrolytes such as table salt and ammonium chloride.

Simethicones, which are mixtures of dimethicones with an average chain length of 200 to 300 dimethylsiloxane units and hydrogenated silicates, are also suitable. A detailed overview of suitable volatile silicones can also be found by Todd et al. in Cosm.Toil. 91, 27 (1976).

Typical examples of fats are glycerides, waxes include natural waxes, e.g. Candelilla wax, carnauba wax, japan wax, esparto grass wax, cork wax, guaruma wax, rice germ oil wax, sugar cane wax, ouricury wax, montan wax, beeswax, shellac wax, walnut, lanolin (wool wax), pretzel fat, ceresin, ozokerite (earth wax), petrolatum, paraffin waxes; chemically modified waxes (hard waxes), e.g. Montanester waxes, Sasol waxes, hydrogenated jojoba waxes and synthetic waxes, such as Polyalkylene waxes and polyethylene glycol waxes in question. In addition to fats, fat-like substances such as lecithins and phospholipids can also be used as additives. The person skilled in the art understands the term lecithins as those glycerophospholipids which are formed from fatty acids, glycerol, phosphoric acid and choline by esterification. Lecithins are therefore often referred to in the art as phosphatidylcholines (PC) and follow the general formula

where R typically represents linear aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals with 15 to 17 carbon atoms and up to 4 cis double bonds. Examples of natural lecithins are the cephalins, which are also referred to as phosphatidic acids and are derivatives of 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphoric acids. In contrast, phospholipids are usually understood to be mono- and preferably diesters of phosphoric acid with glycerol (glycerol phosphates), which are generally classed as fats. In addition, sphingosines or sphingolipids are also suitable.

Metal salts of fatty acids, such as e.g. Magnesium, aluminum and / or zinc stearate or ricinoleate are used.

Biogenic active substances are, for example, tocopherol, tocopherol acetate, tocopherol palmitate, ascorbic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid, retinol, bisabolol, allantoin, phytantriol, panthenol, AHA acids, amino acids, ceramides, pseudoceramides, essential oils, plant extracts and vitamin complexes.

Cosmetic deodorants counteract, mask or eliminate body odors. Body odors arise from the action of skin bacteria on apocrine sweat, whereby unpleasant smelling breakdown products are formed. Correspondingly, deodorants contain active ingredients which act as germ-inhibiting agents, enzyme inhibitors, odor absorbers or milk covering agents.

In principle, all substances effective against gram-positive bacteria are suitable as germ-inhibiting agents, such as. B. 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and its salts and esters, N- (4-chlorophenyl) -N ^' - (3,4 dichlorophenyl) urea, 2,4,4 ^' -Trichlor-2 ^' -hydroxydiphenylether (Triclosan), 4th -Chlor-3,5-dimethylphenol, 2,2 ^' - methylene-bis (6-bromo-4-chlorophenol), 3-methyl4- (1-methylethyl) phenol, 2-benzyl-4-chlorophenol, 3- (4th - Chlorphenoxy) -1, 2-propanediol, 3-iodo-2-propynyl butyl carbamate, chlorhexidine, 3,4,4 ^' trichlorocarbanilide (TTC), antibacterial fragrances, thymol, thyme oil, eugenol, clove oil, menthol, mint oil, famesol, phenoxyethanol , Glycerol monolaurate (GML), diglycerol monocaprinate (DMC), saiicylic acid N-alkylamides such as B. salicylic acid-n-octylamide or salicylic acid-n-decylamide.

Esterase inhibitors, for example, are suitable as enzyme inhibitors. These are preferably trialkyl citrates such as trimethyl citrate, tripropyl citrate, triisopropyl citrate, tributyl citrate and in particular triethyicitrate (Hydagen® CAT, Henkel KGaA, Düsseidorf / FRG). The substances inhibit enzyme activity and thereby reduce odor. Other substances which can be considered as esterase inhibitors are sterol sulfates or phosphates, such as, for example, lanosterol, cholesterol, campesteric, stigmasterol and sitosterol sulfate or phosphate, dicarboxylic acids and their esters, such as, for example, glutaric acid, glutaric acid monoethyl ester, glutaric acid diethyl ester, adipic acid, Monoethyl adipate, diethyl adipate, malonic acid and diethyl malonate, hydroxycarboxylic acids and their esters such as citric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid or tartaric acid diethyl ester, and zinc glycinate. Suitable odor absorbers are substances that absorb odor-forming compounds and can retain them to a large extent. They lower the partial pressure of the individual components and thus also reduce their speed of propagation. It is important that perfumes must remain unaffected. Odor absorbers are not effective against bacteria. They contain, for example, a complex zinc salt of ricinoleic acid or special, largely odorless fragrances, which are known to the person skilled in the art as "fixators", such as, for example, the main component. B. extracts of Labdanum or Styrax or certain abietic acid derivatives. Fragrance agents or perfume oils act as odor maskers and, in addition to their function as odor maskers, give the deodorants their respective fragrance. Perfume oils are, for example, mixtures of natural and synthetic fragrances. Natural fragrances are extracts of flowers, stems and leaves, fruits, fruit peels, roots, woods, herbs and grasses, needles and branches as well as resins and balms. Animal raw materials, such as civet and castoreum, are also suitable. Typical synthetic fragrance compounds are products of the ester, ether, aldehyde, ketone, alcohol and hydrocarbon type. Fragrance compounds of the ester type are, for example, benzyl acetate, p-tert-butylcyclohexyl acetate, linalyl acetate, phenylethyl acetate, linalyl benzoate, benzyl formate, allyl cyclohexyl propionate, styrallyl propionate and benzyl salicylate. The ethers include, for example, benzyl ethyl ether, the aldehydes, for example, the linear alkanals with 8 to 18 carbon atoms, citral, citronellal, citronellyloxyacetaldehyde, cyclamenaldehyde, hydroxycitronellal, lilial and bourgeonal, the ketones, for example the jonones and methylcedryl ketone, and the alcohols anethole, citronellol Eugenol, isoeugenol, geraniol, linalool, phenylethyl alcohol and terpineol, the hydrocarbons mainly include the terpenes and balsams. However, preference is given to using mixtures of different fragrances which together produce an appealing fragrance. Essential oils of lower volatility, which are mostly used as aroma components, are also suitable as perfume oils, e.g. sage oil, chamomile oil, clove oil, lemon balm oil, mint oil, cinnamon leaf oil, linden blossom oil, juniper berry oil, vetiver oil, oliban oil, galbanum oil, labdanum oil and lavandin oil. Bergamot oil, dihydromyrcenol, lilial, lyral, citronellol, phenylethyl alcohol, α-hexylcinnamaldehyde, geraniol, benzyl acetone, cyclamenaldehyde, linalool, boisambrene forte, ambroxan, indole, hedione, sandelice, citrone oil, mandarin oil, allyl glycolate, orangalol oil, orangol oil, orangol oil, are preferred , Lavandin oil, muscatel sage oil, ß- damascone, geranium oil bourbon, cyclohexyl salicylate, Vertofϊx Coeur, Iso-E-Super, Fixolide NP, evernyl, iraldein gamma, phenylacetic acid, geranyl acetate, benzyl acetate, rose oxide, romilate, irotyl and floramate alone or in mixtures used.

Antiperspirants (antiperspirants) reduce sweat formation by influencing the activity of the eccrine sweat glands and thus counteract armpit wetness and body odor. Aqueous or anhydrous formulations of antiperspirants typically contain the following ingredients:

> astringent active ingredients, oil components,

> nonionic emulsifiers,

> Co-emulsifiers,

> Consistency generator,

> Auxiliaries such as B. thickeners or complexing agents and / or

> non-aqueous solvents such as As ethanol, propylene glycol and / or glycerin.

Salts of aluminum, zirconium or zinc are particularly suitable as astringent antiperspirant active ingredients. Such suitable antiperspirant active ingredients are e.g. Aluminum chloride, aluminum chlorohydrate, aluminum dichlorohydrate, aluminum sesquichlorohydrate and their complex compounds e.g. B. with propylene glycol-1, 2nd Aluminum hydroxyallantoinate, aluminum chloride tartrate, aluminum zirconium trichlorohydrate, aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrate, aluminum zirconium pentachlorohydrate and their complex compounds, for. B. with amino acids such as glycine. In addition, customary oil-soluble and water-soluble auxiliaries can be present in smaller amounts in antiperspirants. Such oil soluble aids can e.g. his:

> anti-inflammatory, skin-protecting or fragrant essential oils,

> synthetic skin-protecting agents and / or

> Oil-soluble perfume oils.

Common water-soluble additives are e.g. Preservatives, water-soluble fragrances, pH adjusters, e.g. Buffer mixtures, water soluble thickeners, e.g. water-soluble natural or synthetic polymers such as e.g. Xanthan gum, hydroxyethyl cellulose, polyvinyl pyrrolidone or high molecular weight polyethylene oxides.

Montmorillonites, clay minerals, Pemuien and alkyl-modified carbopol types (Goodrich) can serve as swelling agents for aqueous phases. Further suitable polymers or swelling agents can be found in the overview by R. Lochhead in Cosm.Toil. 108, 95 (1993).

UV light protection factors are understood to mean, for example, organic substances (light protection filters) which are liquid or crystalline at room temperature and which are able to absorb ultraviolet rays and absorb the energy absorbed in the form of longer-wave radiation, e.g. To give off heat again. UVB filters can be oil-soluble or water-soluble. As oil-soluble substances e.g. to call:

> 3-benzylidene camphor or 3-benzylidene norcampher and its derivatives, e.g. 3- (4-methylbenzylidene) camphor as described in EP 0693471 B1;

Examples of suitable metal oxides are, in particular, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide and, in addition, oxides of iron, zirconium, silicon, manganese, aluminum and cerium and mixtures thereof. Silicates (talc), barium sulfate or zinc stearate can be used as salts. The oxides and salts are used in the form of the pigments for skin-care and skin-protecting emulsions and decorative cosmetics. The particles should have an average diameter of less than 100 nm, preferably between 5 and 50 nm and in particular between 15 and 30 nm. They can have a spherical shape, but it is also possible to use particles which have an ellipsoidal shape or a shape which differs from the spherical shape in some other way. The pigments can also be surface-treated, ie hydrophilized or hydrophobicized. Typical examples are coated titanium dioxides, such as titanium dioxide T 805 (Degussa) or Eusolex® T2000 (Merck). Silicones, and in particular trialkoxyoctylsilanes or simethicones, are particularly suitable as hydrophobic coating agents. So-called micro- or nanopigments are preferably used in sunscreens. Micronized zinc oxide is preferably used. Further suitable UV light protection filters can be found in the overview by P.Finkel in SÖFW-Journal 122, 543 (1996).

The dyes which can be used are those substances which are suitable and approved for cosmetic purposes, as compiled, for example, in the publication "Cosmetic Dyes" by the Dye Commission of the German Research Foundation, Verlag Chemie, Weinheim, 1984, pp. 81-106. These dyes are usually used in concentrations of 0.001 to 0.1% by weight, based on the mixture as a whole.

The total proportion of auxiliaries and additives can be 1 to 50, preferably 5 to 40,% by weight, based on the composition. The agents can be produced by customary cold or hot processes; the phase inversion temperature method is preferably used. Examples

Examples 1 to 4, comparative examples V1 to V4. 8 course shampoos were produced and their hair cosmetic properties examined:

Dry combability was examined with the approval of electrostatic charging. A relative humidity of 20% was set. The conditioning time was 12 h at 30 ° C. The measurement was carried out using the charge tapping on a double Faraday cage after 10 combs. The error in the measurements was 2.5% on average, the statistical certainty was at least 99.9%.

Wet combability was investigated on brown hair (Alkinco # 6634, strand length 12 cm, strand mass 1 g). After the zero measurement, the strands were soaked with 100 ml of the test formulations. After a contact time of 5 minutes, the strands were rinsed out under running water (1 l / min, 38 ° C.) for 1 minute. The strands were measured again and compared with the zero measurement. The error in the measurements was 2% on average, the statistical certainty was at least 99%. A detailed description of the measurement methods can be found in J.Soc.Cosm.Chem., 24, 782 (1973). The results are shown in Table 1.

To determine the flexural strength, a strand of hair was treated with a 1% strength by weight test solution, stored between two points and loaded in the middle with a weight of 150 g of water (standard = 100%). The weight was increased until the hair strand was bent and the result was given relative to the standard.

The results are summarized in Table 1; Examples 1 to 4 are according to the invention, Examples V1 to V4 are used for comparison.
