Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of cosmetics, and specifically relates to a combination of one or more alkylamidothiazoles, tocopherol, and 3-O-ethylascorbic acid, and a cosmetic preparation containing such a combination.
[0002] Background Art Generally, cosmetics not only serve to make people look beautiful and attractive, but also clearly contribute to the improvement of people's self-affirmation and well-being through their effects. Therefore, a variety of cosmetics are used for the daily cleaning and care of human skin. For example, according to German Patent Application Publication No. 102011083259, a cosmetic preparation for human skin care containing alkylamidothiazole is known.
[0003] The alkylamidothiazole used is used in cosmetic preparations to suppress and prevent undesirable pigmentation of the skin. In this way, the skin color of the user can be clearly improved.
[0004] Also, according to German Patent Application Publication No. 102013226711, it is known that alkylamidothiazole can be used in cosmetic preparations or skin preparations for the prevention and treatment of sensitive skin, pruritus, dry skin, and inflammatory symptoms related to human skin. This specification discloses various cosmetic O / W emulsions for application to human skin.
[0005] Furthermore, German Patent Application Publication No. 1٠2013204110 discloses a number of cosmetic preparations for human skin care containing alkylamidothiazole.
[0006] The use of a combination of alkylamidothiazole and one or more cyclodextrins particularly effectively brightens human skin.
[0007] However, the fact that cosmetic formulations containing alkylamidothiazole are well known to those skilled in the art should not be overlooked, as it does not mean that many problems arise when compounding cosmetic or topical formulations.
[0008] For example, a drawback is that newly manufactured cosmetic or topical formulations may discolor during storage. This is more pronounced when the formulation is exposed to light.
[0009] This situation creates significant difficulties for manufacturers of cosmetic formulations, as it necessitates studies on the color stability of those formulations.
[0010] This often requires multiple approaches, and therefore the development costs of cosmetics increase significantly.
[0011] Therefore, it is desirable to provide systems and methods that effectively prevent or minimize the degradation process of cosmetic or topical formulations in order to minimize development costs. The problem of the degradation process of cosmetic or topical formulations also concerns consumers.
[0012] Products are often chosen based on how they look on consumers' skin. However, if a product's white appearance deteriorates during storage, it no longer meets the decisive purchase criteria, which usually leaves consumers confused.
[0013] The color stability of cosmetic or topical formulations can, in principle, be evaluated by a specially trained inspector comparing the color of a newly prepared formulation (within 24 hours of preparation) with the color after the corresponding storage time. However, product discoloration is often very difficult to judge. Therefore, it is advantageous to use a special device called DigiEye for discoloration detection.
[0014] Summary of the Invention Therefore, one object of the present invention was to provide a method for particularly effectively preventing or minimizing the degradation process in cosmetics so as to ensure color stability.
[0015] The purpose is the active ingredient a) One or more alkylamidothiazoles, b) Tocopherol, and c) 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid This is achieved through a combination of the following:
[0016] Surprisingly, the combination of tocopherol and 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid works synergistically compared to the substances alone, preventing or reducing the degradation of alkylamidothiazole caused by oxidation processes and / or heat and / or UV light.
[0017] Another embodiment of the present invention is a cosmetic formulation containing such a combination.
[0018] A further embodiment of the present invention is an active ingredient for preventing or reducing the degradation of alkylamidothiazoles caused by oxidation processes and / or heat and / or UV light in a cosmetic formulation containing one or more alkylamidothiazoles. b) Tocopherol, and c) 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid This is a combination of usage.
[0019] 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid is a well-known antioxidant and free radical scavenger. It not only protects skin from sun exposure damage but can also repair existing skin damage. 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid reliably improves collagen synthesis, promotes wrinkle reduction, and also has a skin-brightening effect.
[0020] An advantageous embodiment of the present invention is also a cosmetic or topical formulation containing such a combination of active ingredients, and the use thereof for brightening human skin.
[0021] In order to provide a cosmetic formulation, it is advantageous that the formulation according to the present invention includes a formulation in which the total amount of one or more alkylamidothiazoles is, for example, 0.00001% to 10% by weight, preferably 0.001% to 5% by weight, and particularly 0.005% to 3% by weight, based on the total weight of the formulation.
[0022] To provide a cosmetic formulation, it is advantageous that the formulation according to the present invention includes a formulation in which the total amount of tocopherol is, for example, 0.00001% to 10% by weight, preferably 0.001% to 5% by weight, and particularly 0.005% to 3% by weight, based on the total weight of the formulation.
[0023] In order to provide a cosmetic formulation, it is advantageous that the formulation according to the present invention includes a formulation in which the total amount of 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid is, for example, 0.00001% to 10% by weight, preferably 0.001% to 5% by weight, and particularly 0.005% to 3% by weight, based on the total weight of the formulation.
