Abstract
Description
[0001] The present invention relates to sprayable antiperspirants comprising an anhydrous antiperspirant composition having improved stability with respect to the oil suspensions of the antiperspirant active ingredients used therein, said antiperspirant composition being present in an aerosol can with a compressed gaseous propellant.
[0002] Commercially available antiperspirant compositions, also referred to as antiperspirants, contain at least one water-soluble, astringent, inorganic or organic aluminum salt as the antiperspirant active ingredient. These antiperspirant active ingredients do not directly influence the activity of the sweat glands, but rather minimize sweat secretion by constricting the sweat ducts. The aluminum salts inhibit sweating on the treated skin areas by superficially blocking the sweat gland ducts as a result of aluminum mucopolysaccharide deposits. Antiperspirant compositions are typically applied to the underarm area. Antiperspirant compositions are available in various dosage forms, for example, as a propellant-sprayable composition.Such compositions are usually packaged in aluminum or (less commonly) tinplate spray cans, which are protected against corrosion by an internal coating. Despite such a protective coating, corrosion damage can still occur. Another problem with such products is valve clogging. A corrosion-inhibiting and / or valve clogging-reducing composition would therefore be desirable for these special dosage forms.
[0003] DE10021056A1 discloses anhydrous, pasty or creamy antiperspirant compositions containing at least two particulate polysaccharides and / or polysaccharide derivatives, an antiperspirant aluminum salt, and a lipid component with a melting point of 30-150°C in a liquid, oil-containing carrier material. This gives these compositions good storage stability without syneresis of the oil components at room temperature, as well as high temperature stability. EP570085A2 discloses sprayable antiperspirants with the lowest possible proportion of volatile organic components and a high content of solid particles, preferably containing a mixture of aluminum salt and at least one filler selected from talc, chemically modified corn starch, non-reactive polymers such as micronized polyethylene, polyacrylates, or cross-linked polyurethanes, but also powders such as sodium bicarbonate, corn starch, or any other vegetable starches.
[0004] Propellant-sprayable compositions are usually based on suspensions of astringent salts such as aluminum chlorohydrate (ACH) in non-polar oils such as cyclomethicone. These suspensions must be stable for as long as possible. If the salt particles settle before or during filling, this leads to deviations in the composition. If the salt particles settle after filling, the effect can occur that, if the spray can is not shaken long enough, the antiperspirant composition sprayed by the consumer is uneven and has a poor antiperspirant effect. This poses a particular challenge for formulations with unmilled and therefore spherical ACH particles, because the round particles settle more easily than milled particles with irregular surfaces.
[0005] There is therefore a constant need for antiperspirant compositions that remain stable for a long time and do not sediment.
[0006] An object of the present invention was to provide antiperspirant compositions which form as stable as possible suspensions of powdered antiperspirant active ingredients, in particular aluminum chlorohydrate, in non-polar oils.
[0007] Surprisingly, it was found that the task is solved by antiperspirant active ingredients, in particular aluminum chlorohydrate, in the form of spherical particles in combination with rice starch and hydrophobically modified clay minerals, while no such pronounced stabilization is achieved with other types of starch.
[0008] An object of the present invention is therefore a sprayable antiperspirant containing an antiperspirant composition for personal body care, which contains: a) at least one antiperspirant active ingredient in the form of spherical particles, which is present in suspended, non-dissolved form and is selected from aluminum salts, in a total amount of 5 - 35 wt.%, b) 0.1 - 1 wt.% rice starch in the form of a powder treated with cationic surfactants, the proportion of cationic surfactants being 0.01 - 0.3 wt.%, based on the weight of the rice starch, c) 1.5 - 3.5 wt.% hydrophobically modified clay mineral, d) at least one oil in a total amount of 20 - 94.8 wt.%, e) 0 to 7 wt% free water, where all weight percentages refer to the weight of the composition, without taking into account any propellants that may be present, characterized in that the composition is in an aerosol can with a compressed gaseous propellant.
[0009] For the purposes of this application, "standard conditions" are a temperature of 20°C and a pressure of 1013.25 mbar. Melting points also refer to a pressure of 1013.25 mbar.
[0010] Unless otherwise stated, all quantities refer to the total weight of the antiperspirant composition according to the invention. Any added propellants are not included in the antiperspirant composition according to the invention; therefore, all quantities refer to the total weight of the propellant-free antiperspirant composition, unless otherwise stated.
[0011] According to the invention, “anhydrous” means a free water content of a maximum of 7% by weight, based on the total composition.
[0012] "Free water" within the meaning of the present application is water that is not present in the antiperspirant composition in the form of water of crystallization, water of hydration, or similarly molecularly bound water. The content of water of crystallization, water of hydration, or similarly molecularly bound water contained in the ingredients used, in particular in the antiperspirant active ingredients, does not constitute free water within the meaning of the present application. Free water is, for example, water that is added to the composition according to the invention as a solvent, as a gel activator, or as a solvent component of other active ingredients.
[0013] The antiperspirant compositions according to the invention contain, based on their total weight, 0 to 7 wt.% free water. Preferred antiperspirant compositions according to the invention contain, based on their total weight, 0 to 6 wt.% free water, preferably
[0014] 0-5% by weight, particularly preferably 0-4% by weight, extraordinarily preferably 0-3% by weight of free water. The antiperspirant compositions according to the invention are therefore to be considered essentially water-free.

[0016] The rice starch used according to the invention is obtained from rice. In preferred compositions according to the invention, the rice starch consists of 10-40 wt.%, preferably 20-30 wt.%, particularly preferably 22-28 wt.% amylose and 60-90 wt.%, preferably 70-80 wt.%, particularly preferably 72-78 wt.% amylopectin, based on the weight of the rice starch. Compositions according to the invention contain rice starch in a total amount of 0.1-1 wt.%, preferably 0.2-1 wt.%, particularly preferably 0.4-1 wt.%, based on the weight of the composition, as a powder treated with cationic surfactants, with a proportion of cationic surfactants of 0.01-3 wt.%, preferably 0.1-0.15 wt.%, based on the weight of the rice starch.

[0019] Hydrophobically modified clay minerals are clay minerals whose naturally occurring metal cations are completely or partially replaced by cations substituted by hydrophobic groups, preferably ammonium cations substituted by long-chain alkyl groups, wherein the long-chain alkyl groups preferably contain 5-30, particularly preferably 7-25, extremely preferably 10-20 carbon atoms.
[0020] The compositions according to the invention contain at least one antiperspirant active ingredient selected from aluminum salts. Preferred antiperspirant active ingredients are selected from the water-soluble astringent inorganic and organic salts of aluminum.
[0021] According to the invention, water solubility is understood to mean a solubility of at least 3% by weight at 20°C, i.e., amounts of at least 3 g of the antiperspirant active ingredient are soluble in 97 g of water at 20°C. According to the invention, water solubility is preferably understood to mean a solubility of at least 5% by weight at 20°C, i.e., amounts of at least 5 g of the antiperspirant active ingredient are soluble in 95 g of water at 20°C.
[0022] Particularly preferred antiperspirant active ingredients are selected from aluminum chlorohydrate, in particular aluminum chlorohydrate with the general formula [Al2(OH)5Cl · 1-6 H2O] n , preferably [Al2(OH)5Cl · 2-3 H2O] n , which can be in non-activated or activated (depolymerized) form, as well as aluminum chlorohydrate with the general formula [Al2(OH)4Cl2 · 1-6 H2O] n , preferably [Al2(OH)4Cl2 2-3 H2O] n, which can be in non-activated or activated (depolymerized) form.
[0023] In the compositions according to the invention, the antiperspirant active ingredient, preferably aluminum chlorohydrate, is in the form of spherical particles.
[0024] The term "spherical particles" refers to particles that are ellipsoidal in shape, preferably ellipsoidal with at least two axes of equal length, and most preferably spherical. The axial lengths of an ellipsoidal particle differ from each other by a maximum of 30%, preferably by a maximum of 20%, particularly preferably by a maximum of 10%, and most preferably by a maximum of 3%, based on the length of the longest axis.
[0025] "Ellipsoidal" and "spherical" mean that the particles appear as ellipsoids and spheres, respectively, when viewed under a microscope at approximately 1,000 times magnification. Ellipsoidal or spherical does not necessarily mean that the particles have a perfectly smooth surface.
[0026] In compositions according to the invention, preferably 70-95% by weight of the particles have a size greater than 10 µm, 80-100% by weight of the particles have a size up to 75 µm and 90-100% by weight of the particles have a size up to 125 µm, and extremely preferably 75-80% by weight of the particles have a size greater than 10 µm, 90-100% by weight of the particles have a size up to 75 µm and 99-100% by weight of the particles have a size up to 125 µm, in each case based on the weight of the antiperspirant active ingredient. “Size” is understood to mean the diameter for spherical particles and the length of at least two axes for ellipsoidal particles.

Antiperspirant active ingredients particularly preferred according to the invention are selected from so-called “activated” aluminum salts, which are also referred to as antiperspirant active ingredients “with enhanced activity”. Such active ingredients are known in the prior art and are also commercially available.Activated aluminum salts are typically produced by heat-treating a relatively dilute solution of the salt (e.g., approximately 10 wt.% salt) to increase its HPLC peak 4-to-peak 3 area ratio. The activated salt can then be dried to a powder, particularly by spray drying. In addition to spray drying, roller drying, for example, is also suitable.
[0028] Activated aluminum salts typically have an HPLC peak 4 to peak 3 area ratio of at least 0.4, preferably at least 0.7, more preferably at least 0.9, with at least 70% of the aluminum being attributable to these peaks.
[0029] Other preferred antiperspirant active ingredients are basic calcium-aluminum salts. These salts are produced by reacting calcium carbonate with aluminum chlorohydroxide or aluminum chloride and aluminum powder, or by adding calcium chloride dihydrate to aluminum chlorohydroxide.
[0030] Other preferred activated aluminum salts are those of the general formula Al2(OH) 6-a Xa, wherein X is Cl, Br, I or NO3 and "a" is a value from 0.3 to 5, preferably from 0.8 to 2.5 and particularly preferably 1 to 2, such that the molar ratio of Al:X is 0.9:1 to 2.1:1, as disclosed, for example, in US 6074632. These salts generally have some water of hydration associatively bound, typically 1 to 6 moles of water per mole of salt. Particular preference is given to aluminum chlorohydrate (i.e., X is Cl in the aforementioned formula), and especially 5 / 6-basic aluminum chlorohydrate, wherein "a" is 1, such that the molar ratio of aluminum to chlorine is 1.9:1 to 2.1:1.

[0052] Preferred compositions according to the invention are characterized in that at least one fragrance is contained in a total amount of 0.1 - 15 wt.%, preferably 0.5 - 10 wt.%, particularly preferably 1 - 8 wt.%, extraordinarily preferably 2 - 7 wt.%, further extraordinarily preferably 3 - 6 wt.%, in each case based on the total weight of the propellant-free composition.
[0053] Further preferred compositions according to the invention are characterized by a content of at least one so-called "skin-cooling active ingredient." Skin-cooling active ingredients within the meaning of the present application are understood to be active ingredients that, when applied to the skin, produce a pleasant feeling of cooling as a result of surface anesthesia and irritation of the cold-sensitive nerves in migraines and the like, even when the treated skin areas actually exhibit a normal or elevated temperature. Skin-cooling active ingredients according to the invention are those compounds that, similar to I-menthol, stimulate the thermoreceptors in the skin and mucous membranes in such a way that a cool sensory impression is created. In particular, the CMR-1 receptor ("cold- and menthol-sensitive receptor"), which belongs to the TRP channel family, is stimulated by the cooling active ingredients, creating a cold sensation.
[0054] Preferred skin-cooling active ingredients are menthol, isopulegol, and menthol derivatives, e.g., menthyl lactate, menthylpyrrolidonecarboxylic acid, menthyl methyl ether, menthoxypropanediol, menthone glycerol acetal (9-methyl-6-(1-methylethyl)-1,4-dioxaspiro(4,5)decane-2-methanol), monomenthyl succinate, and 2-hydroxymethyl-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexanol. Particularly preferred skin-cooling active ingredients are menthol, isopulegol, menthyl lactate, menthoxypropanediol, and menthylpyrrolidonecarboxylic acid. Preferred compositions according to the invention contain at least one skin-cooling active ingredient in a total amount of 0.01-1 wt.%, preferably 0.02-0.5 wt.%, and particularly preferably 0.05-0.2 wt.%, in each case based on the total weight of the (propellant-free) composition.
[0055] In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the compositions according to the invention contain 0 to a maximum of 5 wt.% ethanol.
[0056] Furthermore, the compositions according to the invention can contain additional deodorant active ingredients. Antimicrobial, antibacterial, or germ-inhibiting substances, antioxidants, or odor adsorbents (e.g., zinc ricinoleate) can be used as deodorant active ingredients. Suitable antimicrobial, antibacterial, or germ-inhibiting substances are, in particular, organohalogen compounds and halides, quaternary ammonium compounds, a range of plant extracts, and zinc compounds. Halogenated phenol derivatives such as hexachlorophene or Irgasan DP 300 (triclosan, 2,4,4'-trichloro-2'-hydroxydiphenyl ether), 3,4,4'-trichlorocarbanilide, chlorhexidine (1,1'-hexamethylenebis[5-(4-chlorophenyl)]biguanide), chlorhexidine gluconate, benzalkonium halides, and cetylpyridinium chloride are preferred. Sodium bicarbonate, sodium phenolsulfonate and zinc phenolsulfonate as well as the components of linden blossom oil can also be used.Even less effective antimicrobial substances that have a specific effect against the gram-positive bacteria responsible for sweat decomposition can be used as deodorant active ingredients. Benzyl alcohol can also be used as a deodorant active ingredient. Other antibacterial deodorants include lantibiotics, glycoglycerolipids, sphingolipids (ceramides), sterols, and other active ingredients that inhibit bacterial adhesion to the skin, e.g., glycosidases, lipases, proteases, carbohydrates, di- and oligosaccharide fatty acid esters, and alkylated mono- and oligosaccharides. Preferred deodorant active ingredients are long-chain diols, e.g., 1,2-alkane-(C5-C. 18 )-diols, glycerol mono(C8-C 18 ) fatty acid esters or, particularly preferably, glycerol mono-(C6-C 16)-alkyl ethers, in particular 2-ethylhexylglycerol ethers, which are very well tolerated by skin and mucous membranes and effective against corynebacteria, as well as phenoxyethanol, phenoxyisopropanol (3-phenoxypropan-2-ol), anise alcohol, 2-methyl-5-phenyl-pentan-1-ol, 1,1-dimethyl-3-phenyl-propan-1-ol, benzyl alcohol, 2-phenylethan-1-ol, 3-phenylpropan-1-ol, 4-phenylbutan-1-ol, 5-phenylpentan-1-ol, 2-benzylheptan-1-ol, 2,2-dimethyl-3-phenylpropan-1-ol, 2,2-dimethyl-3-(3'-methylphenyl)-propan-1-ol, 2-ethyl-3-phenylpropan-1-ol, 2-Ethyl-3-(3'-methylphenyl)-propan-1-ol, 3-(3'-chlorophenyl)-2-ethylpropan-1-ol, 3-(2'-chlorophenyl)-2-ethylpro-pan-1-ol, 3-(4'-chlorophenyl)-2-ethylpropan-1-ol, 3-(3',4'-dichlorophenyl)-2-ethylpropan-1-ol, 2-Ethyl-3-(2'-methylphenyl)-propan-1-ol, 2-ethyl-3-(4'-methylphenyl)-propan-1-ol, 3-(3',4'-dimethylphenyl)-2-ethylpropan-1-ol, 2-ethyl-3-(4'-methoxyphenyl)-propan-1-ol, 3-(3',4'-Dimethoxyphenyl)-2-ethyl-propan-1-ol,2-Allyl-3-phenylpropan-1-ol and 2-n-pentyl-3-phenylpropan-1-ol.,
[0057] Complexing agents can also support the deodorizing effect by forming stable complexes with heavy metal ions (e.g., iron or copper) that act as oxidative catalytic agents. Suitable complexing agents include the salts of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid or nitrilotriacetic acid, as well as the salts of 1-hydroxyethane-1,1-diphosphonic acid.
[0058] A further embodiment of the compositions according to the invention is characterized by containing at least one encapsulated active ingredient. The active ingredients that can advantageously be encapsulated are, in particular, deodorizing agents, fragrances, perfume oils, and / or skin-cooling agents, but also other skin-care active ingredients, such as vitamins, antioxidants, etc.
[0059] Preferred capsule materials are water-soluble polymers such as carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, or hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, carrageenans, alginates, maltodextrins, dextrins, plant gums, pectins, xanthan gums, polyvinyl acetate and polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidine, polyamides, polyesters, and homo- and copolymers of monomers selected from acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, itaconic acid, and the esters and salts of these acids, as well as any mixtures of these polymers. Suitable capsule materials are also described, for example, in WO 2010 / 009977 A2.
[0060] In a further particularly preferred embodiment, the compositions according to the invention may contain both at least one antiperspirant active ingredient and at least one deodorant active ingredient.
[0061] The formulation of the compositions according to the invention, which are applied as a spray, is preferably based on the requirements of the desired spray application. The compositions according to the invention are in the form of a suspension, i.e., the antiperspirant active ingredient and, if appropriate, other insoluble components are suspended in a liquid or solid carrier. Liquid-dispersed systems of this type, e.g., dispersions to be applied as a spray, should be shaken before use.
[0062] According to the invention, the composition is applied using a compressed or liquefied propellant. For this purpose, the composition according to the invention is packaged together with a propellant in a spray can. The propellant and the composition according to the invention can be present as a mixture. However, it is also possible for the propellant and the composition according to the invention to be present separately, e.g., in so-called bag-in-can spray cans.
[0063] Unless otherwise stated, all quantities refer to the weight of the propellant-free composition.
[0064] Packaging in a multi-chamber dispenser offers special technical advantages.
[0065] The multi-chamber dispenser can also be used in such a way that one chamber is filled with the composition according to the invention, while another chamber contains the compressed propellant. Such a multi-chamber dispenser is, for example, a so-called bag-in-can package.
[0066] However, both chambers can also be connected to one another in such a way that the composition according to the invention is separated into two partial compositions which can be dispensed from the packaging at the same time, for example from separate openings or from a single opening.
[0067] The compositions according to the invention are characterized in that they are packaged with at least one propellant in a suitable pressure container. Propellants (propellant gases) preferred according to the invention are selected from propane, propene, n-butane, iso-butane, iso-butene, n-pentane, pentene, iso-pentane, isopentene, methane, ethane, dimethyl ether, nitrogen, air, oxygen, nitrous oxide, dichlorofluoromethane, chlorodifluoromethane, chlorofluoromethane, 1,1,2,2-tetrachloro-1-fluoroethane, 1,1,1,2-tetrachloro-2-fluoroethane, 1,2,2-trichloro-1,1-difluoroethane, 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2-difluoroethane, 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-difluoroethane, 2,2-dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane, 1,2-dichloro-1,1,2-trifluoroethane, 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane, 1-chloro-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane, 1,1,2-trichloro-2-fluoroethane, 1,2-dichloro-1,2-difluoroethane, 1,2-dichloro-1,1-difluoroethane, 1-chloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane, 2-chloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane, 1-chloro-1,1,2-trifluoroethane, 1,2-dichloro-1-fluoroethane, 1,1-dichloro-1-fluoroethane, 2-chloro-1,1-difluoroethane,1-Chloro-1,1-difluoroethane, 1-chloro-2-fluoroethane, 1-chloro-1-fluoroethane, 2-chloro-1,1-difluoroethene, 1,1,1,3-tetrafluoroethane, heptafluoro-n-propane, perfluoroethane, monochlorodifluoromethane, 1,1-difluoroethane, both individually and in combination.
[0068] Particular preference is given to propane, n-butane, isobutane, and, more preferably, mixtures of these propellants. Also further preferred are 1,1-difluoroethane, propane, n-butane, isobutane, and mixtures of these propellants, in particular mixtures of 1,1-difluoroethane and n-butane. Hydrophilic propellant gases, such as carbon dioxide, can also be used advantageously for the purposes of the present invention if the proportion of hydrophilic gases is selected to be low and lipophilic propellant gas (e.g. propane / butane) is present in excess. Particular preference is given to propane, n-butane, isobutane, and mixtures of these propellant gases. It has been shown that the use of n-butane as the sole propellant gas can be particularly preferred according to the invention.
[0069] The amount of propellant is preferably 10-95% by weight, particularly preferably 30-90% by weight and extraordinarily preferably 60-86% by weight, and further extraordinarily preferably 70, 72, 74, 76, 78, 82, 84 or 85% by weight, in each case based on the total weight of the preparation consisting of the composition according to the invention (suspension) and the propellant.
[0070] Suitable pressurised gas containers are vessels made of metal (aluminum, tinplate, tin), protected or non-splintering plastic, or glass coated on the outside with plastic. Pressure and fracture strength, corrosion resistance, ease of filling, as well as aesthetic aspects, handling, printability, etc., play a role in their selection. Special internal protective coatings ensure corrosion resistance to the suspension according to the invention. A preferred internal protective coating according to the invention is an epoxy-phenolic coating, such as that available under the name Hoba 7407 P. The valves used are particularly preferably provided with an internally coated valve disk, with the coating and valve material being compatible with each other. If aluminium valves are used, their valve disks can be coated on the inside, for example, with Micoflex varnish. If tinplate valves are used according to the invention, their valve disks can be coated on the inside, for example,be coated with PET (polyethylene terephthalate).
[0071] The cans are equipped with a suitable spray head. Depending on the spray head, discharge rates from 0.1 g / s to 2.0 g / s are possible, based on a fully filled can.
[0072] The invention is described in more detail by the following examples, without being limited thereto. Examples:
[0073] To prepare the antiperspirant suspensions, the ingredients (see table) were mixed and homogenized at 30°C. 100 mL of each batch was stored in cylinders at room temperature for 24 hours. The separation of the clear oil phase indicates the sedimentation of the ACH (aluminum chlorohydroxide) particles. Only the combination of rice starch with a hydrophobically modified clay mineral (Disteardimonium Hectorite (Bentone® 38 V CG)) produces the desired effect.
