Description

 "Hair conditioning agents with cationic behenyl compounds and selected silicones and / or cosmetic oils"

The invention relates to hair treatment compositions containing cationic behenyl compounds and selected silicones and / or cosmetic oils and the use of these agents for the treatment of skin and hair.

Not least due to the heavy use of hair, for example by dyeing or perming, as well as by the cleaning of the hair with shampoos and by environmental pollution, the importance of care products with the longest possible effect increases. The available active ingredients generally preferably act on the hair surface. However, the known active ingredients can not cover all needs sufficiently. There is therefore still a need for active ingredients or combinations of active substances for cosmetic products with good care properties and good biodegradability. In particular in dye-containing and / or electrolyte-containing formulations, there is a need for additional skin-care active ingredients which can be incorporated without problems into known formulations.

Quaternary ammonium compounds of the mono-, di- and / or trialkylammonium type have been known for a long time. A disadvantage of these compounds, however, is their lack of biodegradability. Therefore, cationic compounds containing at least one ester group, the so-called ester quats, have been developed. These, however, show a sensation of being unpleasantly dull in terms of the feel and feel of wet skin and hair as well as the touch and feel of the rewashed skin or hair, which is also perceived as "squeaky" audible. However, it has now surprisingly been found that an active ingredient combination of at least one derivative of the cationic behenyl compounds, as shown in the formula I, and at least one silicone polymer selected from the group of dimethiconols and / or the group of amino-functional silicones and / or the group The cyclomethicone and / or the group of dimethicones and / or the group of cosmetic oils achieves particularly advantageous results In addition to at least one derivative of the cationic behenyl compounds, a highly preferred combination of active ingredients further comprises at least one dimethicone and / or one cyclomethicone and at least one additional kosme table oil. When using this combination, there are surprisingly good properties of the treated skin and hair, in particular to improved combing, improved gloss and improved elasticity as well as a significantly increased wash resistance dyed hair, as well as a longer shelf life with a simultaneous better forming performance in well processes such as water wave and perm.

A first subject of the present invention is therefore a composition for the treatment of keratinic fibers, comprising a) at least one behenylate quaternary compound according to the formula I and b) at least one silicone polymer selected from the group of dimethiconols and / or the group of amino-functional silicones and / or the group of cyclomethiconols and / or the group of dimethicones and / or the group of cosmetic oils and / or mixtures thereof, wherein the weight ratio of imidazoline derivatives (a) to the respective silicone polymer or cosmetic oil or mixtures thereof (b) is 20: 1 to 1: 20 based on the respective active substance contents, and c) a cosmetic carrier.

The compositions according to the invention contain an active ingredient combination of at least two constituents, the constituents a) and b) being used within a certain weight ratio to one another. In preferred agents according to the invention, the weight ratio of derivatives a) of the formula I to one of the silicone derivatives and / or the cosmetic oil b) is from 20: 1 to 1:20, more preferably from 10: 1 to 1:10, particularly preferably from 5: 1 to 1 : 5 and especially 2.5: 1 to 1: 2.5.

In the preferred case where besides the ingredient a), both a silicone polymer and a cosmetic oil are further included, the weight ratio between the silicone polymer and the cosmetic oil is at least 10: 1 to 1:10, preferably 5: 1 to 1: 5, more preferably 3: 1 to 1: 5, especially 1: 3 and most preferably 1: 2. In this preferred case in which both at least one silicone polymer and further at least one cosmetic oil is included as component b), the silicone polymer is preferably selected from the group of dimethicones and / or the group of cyclomethicones. In this case, it may further be particularly preferred if both a dimethicone and a cyclomethicone are included together with the cosmetic oil. Ingredients a) and b) are described in detail below. As far as below the active ingredient complex (A) is spoken, this statement refers to the ingredients contained in the inventive compositions a), and b). Hair treatment compositions for the purposes of the present invention are, for example, hair dyes, bleaching agents, hair shampoos, hair conditioners, conditioning shampoos, hair sprays, hair rinses, hair treatments, hair wraps, hair tonics, perming solutions, hair dye shampoos, hair dyes, hair fixatives, hair dressings, hair styling preparations, hair lotions , Mousse, hair gels, hair waxes or combinations thereof. Preferred agents according to the invention are therefore shampoos, conditioners or hair tonics. By combing is understood according to the invention both the combability of the wet fiber, as well as the combability of the dry fiber. As a measure of the combing used the combing work or the force used during the combing process of a fiber collective. The measurement parameters can be assessed by the skilled person or quantified by measuring devices.

The grip defines the tactility of a fiber collective, whereby the expert sensoryly senses and evaluates the parameters fullness and suppleness of the collective.

In many cases, the agents contain at least one surface-active substance, with both anionic and zwitterionic, ampholytic, nonionic and cationic surface-active substances being suitable in principle. The choice of surfactants depends on the nature of the agent. In the case of a shampoo, in particular at least one surfactant is selected from the group of anionic, zwitterionic or nonionic surface-active substances. It is preferred here that at least one anionic and at least one zwitterionic surface-active substance be selected.

In many cases, however, it has proved to be advantageous to select the surfactants from anionic, zwitterionic or nonionic surfactants. The ratio between anionic and zwitterionic surface-active substances is between 10: 1 and 1: 5. The ratio is particularly preferably 5: 1 to 1: 2. If the composition is a hair-conditioning composition, cationic surfactants are preferably used as surface-active substances or nonionic surfactants selected. Again, a selection of the so-called mild surface-active substances is particularly preferred.

The surfactants essentially comprise two groups, the surfactants and the emulsifiers.

The term surfactants (T) is understood to mean surface-active substances which form adsorption layers at the upper and boundary surfaces or which can aggregate in volume phases to give micelle colloids or lyotropic mesophases.

Sie können nach den einschlägigen Verfahren der präparativen organischen Chemie erhalten werden. Die Alkyl- und Alkenyloligoglykoside können sich von Aldosen bzw. Ketosen mit 5 oder 6 Kohlenstoffatomen, vorzugsweise von Glucose, ableiten. Die bevorzugten Alkyl- und/oder Alkenyloligoglykoside sind somit Alkyl- und/oder Alkenyloligoglucoside. Die Indexzahl p in der allgemeinen Formel (Tnio-2) gibt den Oligomerisierungsgrad (DP), d. h. die Verteilung von Mono- und Oligoglykosiden an und steht für eine Zahl zwischen 1 und 10. Während p im einzelnen Molekül stets ganzzahlig sein muß und hier vor allem die Werte p = 1 bis 6 annehmen kann, ist der Wert p für ein bestimmtes Alkyloligoglykosid eine analytisch ermittelte rechnerische Größe, die meistens eine gebrochene Zahl darstellt.

They can be obtained by the relevant methods of preparative organic chemistry. The alkyl and alkenyl oligoglycosides can be derived from aldoses or ketoses with 5 or 6 carbon atoms, preferably glucose. The preferred alkyl and / or alkenyl oligoglycosides are thus alkyl and / or alkenyl oligoglucosides. The index number p in the general formula (Tnio-2) indicates the degree of oligomerization (DP), ie the distribution of mono- and oligoglycosides and stands for a number between 1 and 10. While p in the individual molecule must always be integer and here before For all given values p = 1 to 6, the value p for a given alkyloligoglycoside is an analytically determined arithmetic quantity, which usually represents a fractional number. Preference is given to using alkyl and / or alkenyl oligoglycosides having an average degree of oligomerization p of from 1.1 to 3.0. From an application point of view, those alkyl and / or alkenyl oligoglycosides whose degree of oligomerization is less than 1.7 and in particular between 1.2 and 1.4 are preferred.

Furthermore, the polyhydroxyalkylamides can also be derived from maltose and palatinose.

The sugar surfactants may preferably be present in the agents used according to the invention in amounts of from 0.1 to 20% by weight, based on the total agent. Amounts of 0.5-15% by weight are preferred, and most preferred are amounts of 0.5-7.5% by weight. Other typical examples of nonionic surfactants are fatty acid amide polyglycol ethers, fatty amine polyglycol ethers, mixed ethers or mixed formalin, protein hydrolysates (especially wheat-based vegetable products) and polysorbates.

As preferred nonionic surfactants, the alkylene oxide adducts to saturated linear fatty alcohols and fatty acids having in each case 2 to 30 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of fatty alcohol or fatty acid and the sugar surfactants have proven. Preparations having excellent properties are also obtained if they contain fatty acid esters of ethoxylated glycerol as nonionic surfactants.

These connections are identified by the following parameters. The alkyl radical R contains 6 to 22 carbon atoms and may be both linear and branched.

Particularly preferred are 1-octyl, 1-decyl, 1-lauryl, 1-myristyl. When using so-called "oxo-alcohols" as starting materials, compounds with an odd number of carbon atoms in the alkyl chain predominate.

The compounds used as surfactant with alkyl groups may each be uniform substances. However, it is usually preferred to start from the production of these substances from native plant or animal raw materials, so as to obtain substance mixtures with different, depending on the particular raw material alkyl chain lengths.

Particular preference is given to compositions according to the invention having an additional content of from 0.1 to 20% by weight of nonionic surfactants having an HLB value of from 2 to 18.

B. fatty alcohols having 6 to 30 carbon atoms, to fatty acids having 6 to 30 carbon atoms or to glycerol or sorbitan fatty acid partial ester based on Ci ₂ -C ₁₈ fatty acids or produced on fatty acid alkanolamides. The HLB value means the proportion of hydrophilic groups, eg. B. to glycol ether or polyol groups based on the total molecule. The cationic surfactants (Tkat) are characterized as part of the active ingredient complex according to the invention in that they contribute, like the amphoteric and zwitterionic surfactants, to a significantly improved cosmetic appearance of the skin.

The cationic surfactants (Tkat) are preferably contained in the agents used according to the invention in amounts of from 0.05 to 10% by weight, based on the total agent. Amounts of 0.1 to 5 wt .-% are particularly preferred.

Of course, it is also preferable in the case of the cationic surfactants to select mild cationic surfactants.

The agents according to the invention preferably contain the emulsifiers in amounts of 0.1-25% by weight, in particular 0.5-15% by weight, based on the total agent.

The compositions according to the invention may preferably contain at least one nonionogenic emulsifier having an HLB value of 8 to 18. Nonionic emulsifiers having an HLB value of 10 to 15 may be particularly preferred according to the invention. In the preferred case according to the invention that the compatibility of the cosmetic compositions should be improved, the particularly mild surfactants and emulsifiers are preferably used in the compositions. In these cases, the alkyl sulfates and / or alkyl ether sulfates are used in amounts of less than 8% by weight, preferably less than 5% by weight and more preferably less than 2.5% by weight. Most preferably, these compositions are free of alkyl sulfates and / or alkyl ether sulfates. "Free from" in this context means that these ingredients are not used in any way, but it is possible that they may be introduced into the composition by other ingredients, such as the use of silicone emulsions, so "free from" preferably means smaller than 0.5% by weight, more preferably less than 0.1% by weight. Very particularly cationic and / or amphoteric and / or zwitterionic polymers are used as further ingredients in the compositions according to the invention. Cationic polymers are to be understood as meaning polymers which have a group in the main and / or side chain which may be "temporary" or "permanent" cationic. According to the invention, "permanently cationic" refers to those polymers which have a cationic group, irrespective of the pH of the agent. These are usually polymers containing a quaternary nitrogen atom, for example in the form of an ammonium group. Preferred cationic groups are quaternary ammonium groups. In particular, those polymers in which the quaternary ammonium group is bonded via a C 1-4 hydrocarbon group to a polymer main chain constructed from acrylic acid, methacrylic acid or derivatives thereof have proven to be particularly suitable. Further cationic polymers according to the invention are the so-called "temporary cationic" polymers, which usually contain an amino group which, at certain pH values, is present as a quaternary ammonium group and thus cationically.

The cationic polymers according to the invention can be both firming and / or film-forming and / or antistatic and / or scavenging polymers as well as polymers having conditioning and / or thickening properties. The suitable cationic polymers are preferably fixing and / or conditioning polymers. By polymers are meant both natural and synthetic polymers which may be cationic or amphoteric charged.

These two groups of polymers share a potentially cationic charge. Both cationic and amphoteric or zwitterionic polymers can therefore be characterized by their cationic charge density. The polymers of the invention are characterized by a charge density of at least 1 to 7 meq / g. A charge density of at least 2 to 7 meq / g is preferred. Particularly preferred is a charge density of at least equal to 3meq / g to 7 meq / g.

Another characteristic feature of the polymers according to the invention is their molecular weight. The molecular weight of the particular polymer is understood to mean the molecular weight which the manufacturer indicates in the corresponding data sheets by its method. For the selection of a suitable polymer, a molecular weight of at least 50,000 g / u has proven to be suitable according to the invention. Polymers with a molecular weight of more than 100,000 g / u have proven to be particularly suitable. Polymers with a molecular weight of more than 1,000,000 g / u are particularly suitable.

Suitable polymers have a value of greater than 100,000 for the product of cationic charge density and molecular weight. Particularly suitable are polymers which have a value of at least 200,000 for this product. Especially suitable are those polymers in which this product has a value greater than 250,000. Most suitable are those polymers in which this product has a value of at least 1,000,000. Preference is given to those polymers which have a sufficient solubility in water or alcohol in order to completely dissolve in the agent according to the invention. The cationic polymers may be homopolymers or copolymers wherein the quaternary nitrogen groups are contained either in the polymer chain or preferably as a substituent on one or more of the monomers. The ammonium group-containing monomers may be copolymerized with non-cationic monomers. Suitable cationic monomers are unsaturated, free-radically polymerizable compounds which carry at least one cationic group, in particular ammonium-substituted vinyl monomers, for example trialkylmethacryloxyalkylammonium, trialkylacryloxyalkylammonium,

Dialkyl diallyl ammonium and quaternary vinyl ammonium monomers with cyclic, cationic nitrogen-containing groups such as pyridinium, imidazolium or quaternary pyrrolidones, e.g. Alkylvinylimidazolium, Alkylvinylpyridinium, or Alyklvinylpyrrolidon salts. The alkyl groups of these monomers are preferably lower alkyl groups such as C1 to C7 alkyl groups, more preferably C1 to C3 alkyl groups.

The ammonium group-containing monomers may be copolymerized with non-cationic monomers. Suitable comonomers are, for example, acrylamide, methacrylamide; Alkyl and dialkylacrylamide, alkyl and dialkylmethacrylamide, alkylacrylate, alkylmethacrylate, vinylcaprolactone, vinylcaprolactam, vinylpyrrolidone, vinylester, e.g. Vinyl acetate, vinyl alcohol, propylene glycol or ethylene glycol, wherein the alkyl groups of these monomers are preferably C1 to C7 alkyl groups, more preferably C1 to C3 alkyl groups.

Suitable polymers having quaternary amine groups are, for example, the polymers described under the names Polyquaternium in the CTFA Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary, such as methylvinylimidazolium chloride / inylpyrrolidone copolymer (Polyquaternium-16) or quaternized vinylpyrrolidone / dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate copolymer (Polyquaternium-11). Among the cationic polymers that can be included in the inventive composition, for example vinylpyrrolidone / dimethylaminoethyl copolymer available under the trade names Gafquat ^® 755 N and Gafquat ^® 734, United States is marketed by Gaf Co. and of which the Gafquat ^® 734 is particularly preferred suitable. Other cationic polymers are, for example, Germany, marketed by the company BASF under the tradename Luviquat ^® HM 550 copolymer of polyvinyl pyrrolidone and imidazolimine which ^® by the company Calgon / USA under the trade name Merquat Plus 3300 sold terpolymer of dimethyldiallylammonium chloride, sodium acrylate and acrylamide and sold by the company ISP under the trade name Gafquat ^® HS 100 vinylpyrrolidone / methacrylamidopropyltrimethylammonium chloride copolymer.

In addition to the two aforementioned groups of primary light stabilizers, it is also possible to use secondary light stabilizers of the antioxidant type which interrupt the photochemical reaction chain which is triggered when UV radiation penetrates into the skin. Typical examples are superoxide dismutase, tocopherols (vitamin E) and ascorbic acid (vitamin C).

Furthermore, the cosmetic agents may contain other active ingredients, auxiliaries and additives, such as

Dyes for staining the agent,

Anti-dandruff agents such as Piroctone Olamine, Zinc Omadine and Climbazole,

Cholesterol,

Complexing agents such as EDTA, NTA, β-alaninediacetic acid and phosphonic acids,

Opacifiers such as latex, styrene / PVP and styrene / acrylamide copolymers

Pearlescing agents such as ethylene glycol mono- and distearate and PEG-3-distearate,

pigments

Propellants such as propane-butane mixtures, N ₂ O, dimethyl ether, CO ₂ and air,

Antioxidants. With regard to further optional components and the amounts of these components used, reference is expressly made to the relevant manuals known to the person skilled in the art.

As already mentioned, the high care effect of the agents according to the invention is of particular importance, in particular, since it gives excellent results even in the presence of oxidizing agents, for example in the context of oxidative hair dyeing. A second subject of the invention is a method for hair treatment, in which a cosmetic composition according to claim 1 is applied to the hair and is rinsed by the hair after a contact time.

The exposure time preferably a few seconds to 100 minutes, more preferably 1 to 50 minutes and most preferably 1 to 30 minutes.

Again, it is preferred according to the invention to use the method according to the invention in the context of an oxidative hair coloring, the oxidative hair bleaching or the fixation in the context of a permanent wave.

The following examples are intended to illustrate the subject matter of the present invention without, however, limiting it.
