Description

Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to skin- and hair-compatible compositions. In particular, the invention relates to shampoos and scalp masks. background

[0002] Hair and scalp are exposed daily to external influences, especially environmental factors, sun exposure, and treatment with numerous care products. Furthermore, the individual care needs of hair and scalp vary considerably.

[0003] At the same time, consumers desire personal care products that are individually tailored to their needs. In particular, there is a desire for these individual needs to be addressed through ingredients of natural origin.

[0004] However, many of the common commercial care products are designed for a broad mass of consumers and cannot meet this need. Description of the invention

[0005] One objective of the present invention is to provide compositions that are well tolerated and offer the possibility of meeting individually different care needs.

[0006] The various embodiments, features, preferences and areas specified in this description can be combined in any way as long as the specific combination makes technical sense.

[0007] Unless otherwise specified, the following definitions apply in this specification: As used herein, the terms “a”, “an”, “one”, “the”, “the” and similar terms used in connection with the present invention (especially in connection with the claims) are to be interpreted as encompassing both the singular and the plural, unless otherwise specified herein or clearly evident from the context.

[0008] As used here, the term "and / or" means that either all or only one of the elements of the group may be present. For example, "A and / or B" means "only A or only B or both A and B." In the case of "only A," the term also includes the possibility that B is missing, i.e., "only A, but not B."

[0009] The term "comprehensive" is used here in its open, non-restrictive sense.

[0010] The term "surfactant" is well-known and refers to so-called surface-active substances. These play an important role in cosmetic products for cleansing and caring for skin and hair. Surfactants are substances whose molecular structure enables them to reduce the surface tension of a liquid. This allows two liquids that are normally immiscible, such as oil and water, to mix together, creating a fine dispersion. This is important for two reasons: firstly, to finely disperse the various ingredients of a formulation; and secondly, surfactants are responsible for washing away grease and dirt particles from the body with water. Based on the present application, a specialist is able to select suitable surfactants.Within the scope of the present invention, surfactants are preferably selected from the group consisting of coco glucoside, sodium coco sulfate, cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium lauroyl glutamate, glyceryl oleate, cetearyl alcohol (mixture of cetyl alcohol (hexadecanol) and stearyl alcohol (octadecanol); also called Lanette O), glyceryl stearate citrate and mixtures thereof.

[0011] The term "clay" is well-known and refers to a group of minerals. Within the scope of the present invention, "clay" refers to green clay, pink clay, Multani Mitti, and mixtures thereof. Clay is also frequently named in the cosmetics industry using its INCI name (in particular, montmorillonite, kaolin, illite). Various forms of clay are commercially available.

[0012] Green clay is particularly suitable for oily or acne-prone skin. Pink clay is a mixture of white clay (also called bolus alba) and red clay. Pink clay is especially suitable for sensitive skin as well as for brittle, dry, and dull hair.

[0013] Multani Mitti (also called “Fuller’s Earth”) is particularly suitable for use on oily skin.

[0014] Based on the application submitted, a professional is able to select a suitable clay or a suitable mixture of different clays for the individual care needs.

[0015] The term "plant powder" is well-known and is a generic term for powders made from plant material. Within the scope of the present invention, plant powders are selected from the group consisting of neem powder, amla powder, aritha powder, methi powder (also called fenugreek), brahmi powder, moringa powder, sidr powder, nagar motha powder, shikakai powder, bhringraj powder, chickpea flour, barley flour, turmeric powder, sandalwood powder, kapoor powder, and mixtures thereof.

[0016] Based on the application submitted, a professional is able to select a suitable plant powder or a suitable mixture of different plant powders for individual care needs.

[0017] The compositions described herein may optionally contain preservatives. The term "preservative" is known and refers to substances added to foods and cosmetics, among other things, to prevent their bacterial or chemical degradation and contamination of the product by microorganisms. The addition of preservatives improves the shelf life of cosmetic compositions, particularly after opening. Based on the present application, a person skilled in the art is able to select suitable preservatives. Within the scope of the present invention, the following preservatives are particularly suitable: sodium dehydroacetate, sodium benzoate, benzoic acid, potassium sorbate, and mixtures thereof.

[0018] The compositions described herein may contain hydrosols. The term "hydrosols" (also called "floral waters") is well-known and refers to products obtained by steam distillation of plants or plant parts. Hydrosols typically contain water-soluble plant constituents. In addition, hydrosols may also contain suspended essential oils in small quantities. Hydrosols have similar effects to the corresponding essential oils, but are generally milder and, in combination with the other constituents of the hydrosol, their effects may differ from those of the essential oils. For the purposes of this application, hydrosols have been selected from the group consisting of chamomile hydrosol, rose hydrosol, orange blossom hydrosol, lavender hydrosol, sage hydrosol, witch hazel hydrosol, rosemary hydrosol, helichrysum hydrosol, geranium hydrosol, thyme hydrosol, and mixtures thereof.Based on the application submitted, a professional is able to select a suitable hydrosol or a suitable mixture of different hydrosols for individual care needs.

[0019] The composition described herein may contain one or more of the following ingredients: • Vitamin, • Vegetable oil, • Alcoholic plant extract, especially an elixir.

[0020] The term "vitamin" is well-known. Within the scope of this application, the following vitamins are particularly suitable: vitamin E, biotin, serum vitamin H, vitamin C, and mixtures thereof. The compositions described herein may also contain precursors of vitamins, so-called provitamins, in particular panthenol. Based on this application, a professional is able to select a suitable vitamin, provitamin, or a suitable mixture of various vitamins and provitamins for individual care needs.

[0021] The term "plant oil" is well-known and refers to oils obtained from plant-based raw materials. In particular, the term also includes essential plant oils. Essential plant oils are highly volatile mixtures comprising various organic substances, such as hydrocarbons, alcohols, ketones, and terpenes. These are typically particularly odorous mixtures. Within the scope of the present invention, plant oils, especially essential oils, are selected from the group consisting of hemp oil, almond oil, wheat germ oil, macadamia oil, castor oil, jojoba oil, neem oil, lavender oil, lemon oil, wild rosemary oil, peppermint oil, tea tree oil, and mixtures thereof. Based on the present application, a person skilled in the art is able to select a suitable plant oil, especially an essential plant oil, or a suitable mixture of various plant oils, especially essential plant oils, for their individual care needs.In particular, compositions according to the invention that are intended for allergy sufferers do not contain essential oils.

[0022] The term "alcoholic plant extract" is well-known and refers in particular to extracts from plant material obtained by extraction with ethanol. Traditionally, alcoholic extracts of medicinal plants are also called elixirs. Within the scope of the present invention, alcoholic plant extracts are preferably 35-45 vol.% (v / v) ethanol extracts selected from one or more of the following plants or plant components: sage, rosemary, horsetail, horsetail, peppermint, chamomile flowers, ribwort plantain, calendula petals, cat's claw, burdock root, nettle leaves, bay leaf, basil, birch leaves, cistus, ginseng, thyme, willow bark, neem, bay leaves, ribwort plantain leaves, yarrow, peppermint, St. John's wort, lemon balm, sweet clover, and lavender. Particularly preferred are 37-40 vol.% (v / v) ethanol extracts, e.g., from saffron or saffron. B. 37.5% vol. % (V / V) or 40% vol. % (V / V) ethanol extracts.

[0023] Based on the present application, a person skilled in the art is able to select a suitable alcoholic plant extract, or a suitable mixture of different alcoholic plant extracts, for individual care needs. In particular, compositions according to the invention intended for allergy sufferers do not contain any alcoholic plant extracts.

[0024] The compositions described herein may also include additional ingredients. Particularly suitable are, for example, the following: vegetable glycerin, especially selected from glycerin extract of nettle and glycerin extract of red grapes, panthenol, hyaluronic acid, coconut silicone, wheat protein, lactic acid, and citric acid. Based on the present application, a specialist is able to select suitable additional ingredients, or a suitable mixture of various additional ingredients, for individual care needs.
