Pigment-containing gel mass based on lipids Description

The invention relates to pigment-containing gel masses based on lipids and coloured pencils containing them.

Pigmented gel masses based on lipids are disperse systems that consist of a framework of the gel-forming component with lipid embedded in it. The gel mass also contains pigments for coloring and possibly insoluble fillers. Such masses are suitable for applying colors in many areas. The main areas of application for pigmented gel masses are

Coloring materials for drawing and painting and for the field of decorative cosmetics, where they can be used in many forms, including as creamy make-up or as a make-up pencil, as creamy eye shadow or as an eye shadow pencil, as rouge, as lipstick, as eyeliner and eyebrow pencil and as a kohl or kajal pencil. In particular, such pigment-containing gel masses based on lipids can be used to produce cosmetic pencils.

Materials used for drawing, painting or make-up should be easy to apply, but they should be durable after application and as waterproof as possible, in the case of cosmetic pencils also tear-proof, as well as transfer-resistant, i.e. they should not rub off onto other objects, such as glasses or textiles, and they should not migrate or bleed out of the application area.

Known colored pencil recipes are based on a mixture of fats, oils and waxes, which are colored with pigments. For example, the standard works known to the relevant specialist describe lip or eye shadow sticks made from natural or synthetic triglycerides, hardened oils, cocoa butter, coconut fat, natural or synthetic oils or paraffin oils, silicone oils, natural or mineral waxes and common additives such as lanolin or lanolin derivatives. These preparations may also contain known cosmetic "active ingredients", e.g. based on oil-soluble plant extracts, bisabolol or vitamins. As a rule, these preparations are thixotropic systems that liquefy under the shear forces that occur during application, thus enabling gentle application.

It is also known, for example, to use such preparations using volatile substances, such as short-chain linear or cyclic silicone oils, known to those skilled in the art as dimethicones or cyclomethicones, or volatile hydrocarbons, in particular isoparaffins, or mixtures thereof. Such preparations can be applied particularly gently, and after the volatile components have evaporated, a smooth lipid film with transfer-resistant properties remains, which also shows only a slight tendency to migrate into the fine wrinkles of the skin.

Such gel-like preparations have so far been used in the cosmetics sector mainly for deodorant and antiperspirant sticks. In general, these gels have the advantage of being easy to apply, but at the same time have the disadvantage that they

•♦·♦

cannot withstand mechanical stress. For deodorant sticks, the advantage of being easy to apply is paramount; stability is not particularly important due to the shape of these sticks.

Deodorant sticks have a relatively large diameter in relation to their length and the requirements for strength are not very high due to the structure of the sticks. It has been found that masses that are well suited for deodorant sticks can only be formed into thinner leads to a very limited extent and, in particular, because the masses are too soft, can only be demolded with great difficulty or not at all. Leads for cosmetic pencils in particular generally have diameters in the range between 2 and 10 mm.

Attempts were therefore made to produce such oleogels using waxes such as beeswax, candelilla wax or carnauba wax and to form them into pencil leads. Beeswax shrinks when cooled and is therefore suitable for masses that are to be processed into pencil blanks by heating them above their softening point and pouring them into suitable molds and cooling them. Candelilla wax and carnauba wax give the oleogels a shine and are therefore popular for lipsticks and eye shadow pencils. However, it was found that the known oleogels have too low an oil-binding capacity, so that ageing during long storage periods and temperature changes can lead to syneresis effects, which leads to oil separation, so-called "sweating" and even complete phase separation. The oil contained in the mass initially escapes in the form of droplets and later migrates into the environment, which impairs the aesthetic appearance of the pencil. The pencils also lose their elasticity and become brittle due to the oil being drained out. It was also found that when the oil diffuses away, evaporates or migrates, the leads made from the mass shrink so much that in an attempt to make colored pencils in wood, the leads slipped out of the wooden sleeves after a short time. If such lead masses are poured into plastic sleeves or into plastic rotating mechanisms to make colored pencils, it was found that migrates oil spreads along the inner and outer walls and also impairs the function of the pencil. of these colored pencils. It has also been found that very thin leads with diameters in the range of 2 to 4 mm have too little breaking strength, which leads to considerable breakage when removed from - preferably metal - molds and thus to rejects. If modern processes are used to cast directly into rotary mechanisms, then if a lead breaks, the entire rotary mechanism usually has to be discarded as rejects.

One object of the invention was therefore to eliminate the disadvantages previously associated with colored leads and to improve known pencil masses so that colored leads with a soft release and a high oil content can be processed using conventional technologies - such as extruding a mass into strands and inserting cut-to-length strand pieces into wood or other suitable materials using the methods known in pencil production, pouring a mass heated above the melting point into preferably metallic molds and inserting the castings obtained after cooling into suitable application elements, pouring a mass heated above the melting point into a casing made of a sharpenable material or pouring such a mass into the lead guide part of a rotary mechanism. In particular, thin colored leads with diameters in the range between 2 and 4 mm which have sufficient tensile, breaking and bending strength should be able to be produced using these known methods.

A further object of the invention was to produce such colored leads in such a way that, despite a high oil content and a soft release, which is particularly desirable for cosmetic colored leads, they show no tendency to oil out and thus retain an aesthetic appearance even after prolonged storage under changing temperature conditions.

DE-OS 199 10 870 describes an oil-based gel mass containing a hydroxy fatty acid in combination with an alkyl methicone. Although such preparations are characterized by good oil-binding capacity, the breaking and bending strength of thin colored pencil leads can still be improved. EP-A 0 861 657 also describes cosmetic masses whose film-forming properties and adhesion properties are to be improved by the addition of ethyl cellulose. In particular, gel-like masses are to be produced. DE-OS 199 11 748 describes colored leads which contain alkyl cellulose or hydroxyalkyl cellulose which is soluble in organic solvents. This addition is intended to improve the tensile, breaking and bending strength of colored leads, in particular colored leads with a thin diameter and - measured by this - great length. Oil-soluble alkyl cellulose, in particular ethyl cellulose, is only poorly soluble in the waxes and oils known for the production of colored leads; In addition, the amount used in masses heated above the melting point, which are to be processed in this state by pouring, is very limited, as they lead to a strong increase in viscosity. The mass easily becomes too thick to be successfully poured into any openings with a small diameter - namely in the area of

Diameter of the desired color leads (2 to 4 mm). The casting process known from DE-OS 40 05 894 using movable filling needles is only of limited use with such highly viscous masses.

The extrusion of masses containing oil-soluble ethyl cellulose is possible in principle, but requires unusually high extrusion pressures. These publications therefore do not solve the problems underlying the invention.

Surprisingly, it has now been found that a combination of oil-soluble alkylcellulose, the alkyl radicals of which can be straight-chain or branched and preferably have 1 to 10 carbon atoms, with an alkylgalactomannan polysaccharide, the alkyl radical of which preferably has 1 to 10 carbon atoms and a salt obtained from a long-chain fatty acid with preferably 16 to 24 carbon atoms and a fatty acid amidoalkyldialkylamine of a fatty acid with 16 to 24 carbon atoms, leads to dyes with completely surprising stability properties. The latter can be, for example, stearoylamidopropyl dimethylamine stearate or behenamidopropyl dimethylamine stearate or stearoylamidopropyl dimethylamine behenate or behenamidopropyl dimethylamine behenate or mixtures thereof. Oil-soluble ethylcellulose in combination with a C1-5 alkylgalactomannan and behenamidopropyl dimethylamine behenate is particularly preferred. The product names given are the so-called "INCI names" known to the relevant expert.

C1-5 alkylgalactomannan and behenamidopropyl dimethylamine behenate are well known to the expert as film formers and as viscosity-increasing raw materials for non-aqueous systems. It was therefore all the more surprising to find that in the combination of these two raw materials with oil-soluble ethyl cellulose, a significantly reduced viscosity of a pigmented mixture of fats, waxes and oils heated above their melting point was detectable, which led to a thin, pourable mass. In addition, it was possible in this mixture - apparently due to certain surface-active effects of the behenamidopropyl dimethylamine behenate - to dissolve somewhat larger amounts of oil-soluble ethyl cellulose in this mass without causing the precipitation of ethyl cellulose or viscosity increases observed without this additive. The combination of the three raw materials mentioned therefore led to a very homogeneous mixture with good pigment distribution and, after pouring and cooling of the castings, to very

■ · t ·

Colored pencils that are pleasant and easy to apply evenly. Especially when such colored pencils are to be applied to the delicate facial skin around the lips and eyes.

The alkyl cellulose, preferably an oil-soluble ethyl cellulose, is used in a proportion of 0.1 to 20 wt.%, preferably 0.25 to 10 wt.%, very particularly preferably 0.3 to 6 wt.%. The alkylgalactomannan, preferably the C1-5 alkylgalactomannan, is used in proportions of 0.1 to 20 wt.%, preferably 0.25 to 10 wt.%, very particularly preferably 0.4 to 4 wt.%.

The salt consisting of a long-chain fatty acid having preferably 16 to 24 carbon atoms and a fatty acid amidoalkyldialkylamine of a fatty acid having 16 to 24 carbon atoms, preferably behenamidopropyl dimethylamine behenate, is used in proportions of 0.1 to 30 wt.%, preferably 0.3 to 20 wt.%, particularly preferably 0.5 to 6 wt.%. It is important to ensure that the proportions of alkyl cellulose, preferably oil-soluble ethyl cellulose and alkylgalactomannone polysaccharides, preferably C1-5 alkylgalactomannan, are used in a ratio of 0.3:1 to 3:1 to one another and that the ratio of the salt, which consists of a long-chain fatty acid with preferably 16 to 24 carbon atoms and a fatty acid amidoalkyldialkylamine of a fatty acid with 16 to 24 carbon atoms, preferably behenamidopropyl dimethylamine behenate, is in a ratio of 0.5:1 to 5:1 to the total amount of the other two components of the combination.

Another surprising finding was that the combination of these three raw materials produces very beautiful and homogeneous gel structures when cooled, in which very large amounts of an oil component remain stably bound, so that even after a long period of time there is no separation or oil deposition - even when the colored leads mentioned are stored at very varying temperatures.

This oil component, which is an essential part of the gel mass according to the invention, can comprise vegetable, animal, mineral or synthetic oil and/or fat and wax. Thus, oils, fatty oils, fats, paraffins and Vaseline are suitable for the present invention. Examples include vegetable oils such as castor oil, sunflower oil, sesame oil, rapeseed oil, hydrogenated vegetable oils such as coconut oil or palm kernel oil, jojoba oil (INCI: Buxus Chinensis) - in the chemical sense a liquid wax - lanolin and lanolin derivatives, mineral oil, volatile

·

·

Isoparaffins, volatile and non-volatile silicone oils, such as cydomethicone, dimethicone, phenyltrimethicone and mixtures thereof. The oil is used in a proportion of 1 to 70% by weight. Below 1% by weight, the mass is too viscous even at temperatures well above the melting point; above 70% by weight, the gel structure is only insufficiently formed and the finished color lead does not have the desired good application properties. The desired viscosity of the mass can be adjusted in a suitable manner by selecting the type and amount of oil component with a few routine tests. Part of the oil component can also be formed by wax. Vegetable, animal, mineral and also synthetic waxes, such as silicone waxes, can be used. Mixtures of oily and waxy raw materials are preferably used as the oil component. If the gel mass is to be used to make colored leads for cosmetic pencils, a wax commonly used in cosmetics is preferably used, such as beeswax, camauba wax, candelilla wax, Japanese wax, ouricouri wax, flower waxes or fruit waxes such as orange blossom wax, jasmine wax, apple wax or orange wax, montan wax, microcrystalline wax, modified beeswax such as "Cera Bellina", long-chain fatty alcohols such as cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, isostearyl alcohol, behenyl alcohol, esters of long-chain fatty alcohols with long-chain fatty acids such as cetyl palmitate, cetearyl palmitate, stearyl stearate, behenyl stearate, C20-40 alkyl stearate or mixtures of these waxes. Beeswax gives a slightly more matte application, camauba wax and candelilla wax give a more glossy application. Volatile and/or non-volatile oils are preferably used in the oil content. Mixtures are particularly preferred here. volatile silicone oils such as cydomethicone and/or short-chain dimethicone, possibly also in a mixture with volatile isoparaffins such as isoundecane and/or isododecane with waxes, fats, paraffins or fatty oils. The volatile components make it easier to apply the gel mass to the skin, especially the facial skin, and on the other hand they significantly increase the durability and water resistance or tear resistance of the applied layer once the volatile components have evaporated. With a suitable combination of the volatile components with the remaining oil component, the so-called "wind-burn effect" can also be avoided.

The proportion of wax is selected depending on the viscosity of the gel mass heated above the melting point and the desired properties of the finished color lead. The wax proportion of the entire composition is preferably between 0.1 and 30% by weight.

The other component of the gel mass that is essential to the invention is a pigment or a mixture of pigments. The substances that are usually used for pigmented masses are used here. For cosmetic masses, these are regulated in Germany by Annex 3 of the Cosmetics Regulation, which is based on the corresponding EC directive. Similar regulations also exist in Japan and the USA. Examples of suitable pigments are inorganic pigments such as titanium dioxide, iron oxides, ultramarine blue, chromium oxide green, chromium oxide hydrate green, Prussian blue (ferric blue), mica, mica coated with titanium oxide and/or other metal oxides, varnishes of organic colorants or mixtures thereof. In addition, finely divided, platelet-shaped metal powders such as aluminum, brass, bronze, silver or gold or even finely divided PET platelets that show interference phenomena can be used. Pigments suitable for decorative cosmetics are preferably used. The content of the pigment or pigment mixtures in the gel mass according to the invention is in a range between 0.1 and 50% by weight, preferably 1 to 40% by weight, depending on the color intensity of the pigment used and the technology subsequently selected for producing the finished color leads. A quantity of 5 to 30% by weight is particularly preferred.

In addition to the components listed, the gel mass according to the invention can contain other auxiliary substances and additives that are usual or customary for such masses. Examples of these are fillers, thickeners or viscosity regulators, humectants, vitamins, plant extracts, emulsifiers, solubilizers, dispersing agents, fragrances, flavorings, antioxidants and preservatives, which can be used in the usual concentrations. The gel mass according to the invention is preferably water-free, so that preservatives are not absolutely necessary, since microorganisms cannot find suitable living conditions under these conditions. The use of antioxidants is, however, advisable, particularly if the oil component contains components with unsaturated fatty acids, in order to prevent the gel mass according to the invention from becoming rancid or spoiling. It should also be noted that certain metal oxides, i.e. pigments, can catalyze rancidity.

The total amount of auxiliaries and additives should not exceed 50% by weight and preferably, together with the amount of pigments, should be in a range from 0.1 to 50% by weight, preferably 1 to 45% by weight and particularly preferably in a range from 5 to 35% by weight.

The pigmented oil-based gel mass according to the invention can be made into any shape. It is particularly preferably formed into leads and then used in the form of pencils. A further advantage of the oil mass according to the invention is that it can be formed using casting and extrusion processes. The gel mass according to the invention is particularly preferably processed into colored pencils and cosmetic pencils. The leads produced with a gel structure have the advantage that they can be applied just as well in the form of slim, free-standing leads as in the form of "set" leads - i.e. leads held in wood or plastic - without deforming or even breaking off or smearing.

Another object of the invention is a colored pencil which comprises a sharpenable sleeve made of wood or a wood substitute or plastic with a lead made of a pigmented oil-based gel mass embedded therein. The colored pencil is preferably a cosmetic pencil and particularly preferably it is a lip, eye shadow, lip contour, eyeliner, kohl, kohl or eyebrow or concealer pencil, a so-called "concealer".

The colored pencil according to the invention is produced by heating the pigmented gel mass produced according to the invention above its melting point and pouring it into a tube blank in a liquid state, or by extruding the pigmented gel mass and placing the resulting molding, a section of an endless strand, in grooved boards made of wood, a wood substitute or plastic, gluing it to another grooved board to form blanks for about 10 pencils each and then processing it further into finished pencils using the usual processes for pencils. In a further casting process, the gel mass according to the invention heated above its melting point can be poured into molds and, after cooling, shaped and inserted into suitable application units. It is also possible to put these application units with a lead holder on a mold and pour the gel mass according to the invention heated above its melting point through the lead holder and, after cooling, turn the finished lead, which is then firmly in the lead holder, back into the application unit. This process is particularly suitable for the efficient production of cosmetic pencils in large quantities. In this production method, the advantageous properties of the gel mass according to the invention with regard to tensile, fracture and bending stability are particularly evident.

The leads produced from the lipid-based gel mass containing pigments according to the invention have, due to the improved oil-binding capacity and an improved

-10-

Temperature stability is a very positive feature. For example, they can be used up to around 45 ^° C. The colored leads are then still sufficiently hard and stable and can be sharpened easily - the casings of these colored leads can therefore be easily machined in a conventional manner.

Due to the stability of the gel mass, it can be processed without any problems into leads, even very thin leads with a very unfavorable length to diameter ratio, e.g. heated above its melting point and then shaped. It is important that the mass heated above its melting point has only a low viscosity and is therefore easy to process in casting processes. Since on the one hand the gel mass is very homogeneous and temperature-stable and on the other hand the shaped leads have sufficient strength, the pencils can be manufactured by pouring the gel mass according to the invention directly into sleeve blanks or the lead guide parts of an application unit or into casting molds onto which a rotary mechanism has been placed. In this case, pouring takes place through a lead holding part shaped for this purpose within the rotary mechanism. However, in a separate first step, leads can also be produced by casting or extruding and then inserted into the desired sleeve or rotary mechanism or processed into pencils in a known casing using the processes known in pencil technology. These variants offer advantages and the most suitable embodiment can be selected for each purpose.

It goes without saying that suitable measures must be taken to ensure that the application units or rotary mechanisms used are securely sealed if the pigmented lipid-based gel mass according to the invention contains volatile components such as volatile silicone oils or isoparaffins. If the leads produced using the methods described above are further processed using the methods known in pencil production, the grooved boards made of wood, wood substitutes or plastic used must of course be sealed beforehand in a suitable and known manner to prevent the volatile components from diffusing in.

The invention is explained in more detail by the following examples, without limiting it thereto. The INCI names known to the person skilled in the art were used to name the raw materials. The quantities are always given in percent by weight (wt. %), based on the total weight of the finished preparation.

To produce it, components (1) to (4) are combined and heated to about 85 ^° C until a liquid phase is formed. Components (5) and (6) are dissolved in this and then component (7) - pigment - is added while stirring. The mixture is kept liquid while heating, then component (8) is added and dissolved in the mixture while stirring. About 40% of component (11) is now added while stirring and the mixture is homogenized in a suitable manner to destroy pigment agglomerates, e.g. using a three-roll mill, Ultra-TURRAX, heated ball mill or the like. The mixture is then heated again above the melting point, components (9) and (10) and the rest of component (11) are added and the entire mixture is mixed thoroughly. The finished mixture is then poured into suitable molds at about 80 ^° C and, after cooling, is removed from the mold and processed further. This produces color leads for eye shadow pencils, with good color strength and very pleasant release.

Comparative example 3: The mass appears inhomogeneous overall and forms layered structures. The leads are hard, release unevenly and break very easily. The mass heated above the melting point is highly viscous and difficult to pour; the viscosity remains the same even when the temperature is further increased. When processed according to example 2, brittle leads are obtained when the mass is extruded and break very easily.

Comparative example 4: The mass solidifies into very soft leads that are very difficult to demold. The lead mass remains pasty on the inside. The colored leads can no longer be used at room temperature. When processed as in example 2, the cooled mass cannot be extruded because it flows out of the extruder as a soft paste. Colored leads cannot be produced in this way.

Comparative example 5: It is highly viscous and difficult to pour. The leads appear very solid and have poor and uneven color release. There is severe separation of cydomethicone on the surface of the colored lead. When produced according to example 2, no usable colored leads can be obtained by extrusion, since the majority of the colored leads break several times or even crumble.

Comparative example 6: The mass is very viscous and can no longer be processed by pouring. An increase in temperature up to 120 ⁰ C does not lead to a reduction in viscosity. When processed as in example 2, no usable colored leads are obtained by extrusion. Leads produced in this way are hard, break very easily and show poor and uneven color release. There is severe separation of cydomethicone on the surface of these colored leads.
