Description

[0001] Cosmetic products generally serve not only to make one look beautiful and attractive, but also contribute significantly to increased self-esteem and well-being. Accordingly, a wide variety of cosmetic products are used for the daily cleansing and care of human skin and hair.

[0002] Washing hair plays a central role in human personal hygiene. Cleansing the hair and scalp of natural oils, dead skin cells, dirt, and odors fulfills a basic human need.

[0003] Until the 20th century, soap was the only product available to satisfy this need. Due to its alkaline pH, soap was poorly tolerated by the scalp and mucous membranes of the eyes and often left behind soap scum deposits in the hair. The first shampoo containing alkyl sulfates appeared in the 1930s. Since the mid-1960s, alkyl ether sulfates and other surfactants have dominated the shampoo market. They eliminate the disadvantages of soap-based preparations. Today, modern shampoos must not only cleanse the hair and be well-tolerated, but also condition it, improve its manageability, and enhance its overall appearance.

[0004] Until the 20th century, soap was the only product available to satisfy this need. Due to its alkaline pH, soap was poorly tolerated by the scalp and mucous membranes of the eyes and often left behind soap scum deposits in the hair. The first shampoo containing alkyl sulfates appeared in the 1930s. Since the mid-1960s, alkyl ether sulfates and other surfactants have dominated the shampoo market. They eliminate the disadvantages of soap-based preparations. Today, modern shampoos must not only cleanse the hair and be well-tolerated, but also condition it, improve its manageability, and enhance its overall appearance.

[0005] Hair shampoos contain a variety of different components to meet the specific requirements of the product: The cleansing power of shampoos is achieved through the presence of anionic, amphoteric, and nonionic surfactants as surface-active compounds in the formulations. Surfactants also provide the lathering ability of the hair cleansing products. Important factors when selecting surfactants include their insensitivity to water hardness, their biodegradability, their compatibility with other components of the formulation, and their price. Alkyl ether sulfate, for example, is a commonly used shampoo surfactant.

[0006] Furthermore, shampoos contain a number of consistency regulators that give the preparation the desired viscosity. These thickeners cause the surfactant micelles to enlarge or the aqueous phase of the preparation to swell. Thickeners can be selected from a wide variety of chemical classes. These include electrolytes (e.g., sodium chloride), alkanolamides (e.g., fatty acid monoethanolamides), low-ethoxylated fatty alcohols (e.g., diethylene glycol monolauryl ether), high-ethoxylated ethers, esters and diesters, as well as polymeric thickeners. Cellulose ethers are an example of a polymeric thickener. Polyacrylates and hydrocolloids are also used as thickeners. Polymeric thickeners have the significant advantage that the viscosity they produce is largely independent of temperature.

[0007] In addition to perfumes, dyes, and a range of compounds that increase the shelf life of the preparations, various types of active ingredients have recently been added to hair shampoos. These include UV absorbers, vitamins, and plant extracts, as well as so-called hair conditioners, which nourish the hair, improve its manageability and texture, and enhance its shine. Unlike most other shampoo ingredients, conditioners adhere to the hair and remain there after rinsing. Due to their molecular structure, they deposit themselves on damaged areas of the hair cuticle and smooth the hair. This makes the hair less rough and brittle, gives the hairstyle significantly more shine, and makes it easier to comb. The hair also becomes less susceptible to static electricity.The most important hair conditioning substances, usually cationic polymers, are polymeric quaternary ammonium compounds. Cationic cellulose derivatives and polysaccharides can also be used. Silicone compounds are also employed for conditioning.

[0008] One disadvantage of current technology is that frequent washing or chemical treatment (bleaching, dyeing) severely damages the hair. In particular, the removal / destruction of naturally occurring lipids in the hair leads to a loss of smoothness, suppleness, and shine. The hair then appears dry and brittle. To compensate for this damage, large quantities of cationic polyquaternium-10 are typically added to hair care products as a conditioner. To counteract the loss of lipids, silicone compounds or other hydrophobic conditioners are often added to such products. However, these state-of-the-art products have a number of disadvantages: Consumers no longer desire the use of polymers that are homo- or copolymerized with acrylic or methacrylic acid, as well as chemically modified cationic polymers such as polyquaternium-10, because their biodegradability is not fully understood. Consequently, there is a demand for products that do not contain these ingredients. Furthermore, the use of silicone compounds in shampoos is no longer desirable due to unclear compatibility issues, the unnecessary weight they can place on hair, and poor biodegradability. The absence of these components inevitably leads to inferior product properties. However, despite the omission of these components, particularly polyquaternium-10, consumers still expect commercially available shampoos to offer comparable product performance.Desirable features include comparable or improved combability of dry and wet hair; glide after application to wet hair; ease of rinsing the products from the hair; weighting (or lack thereof); lathering properties (quick and easy lathering, richness) and / or glide after rinsing. to reach.

[0009] Various methods for achieving these parameters are described in the prior art. However, achieving suitable product performance according to the parameters described above often requires larger quantities of biodegradable ingredients. This increases production costs for manufacturers, meaning that products can only be sold at a higher price. This is not in the interest of either companies or consumers.

[0010] Consequently, new approaches are needed to achieve at least some of the parameters with the lowest possible concentrations of cationic polymers, especially biodegradable ones.

[0011] The use of guarhydroxypropyltrimonium chloride in shampoo preparations is known to those skilled in the art from, among others, EP1366742, EP1366738 or EP1366739.

[0012] Guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride is a polymer that can be obtained from guar meal. The synthesis method can be adapted depending on the desired mass and charge density. Possible synthesis methods and the resulting polymers with the desired mass and charge density are known, among others, from WO 2013 / 011122 A1 or US4663159A.

[0013] Below is a short selection of guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride polymers with medium mass and charge density: Tab.1 Trade name Average mass in Da Charge density in meq / g Jaguar ®< C-500 (Rhodia) 3< 389 000 0,72 Jaquar ®< C-17 (Rhodia) 3< 2 000 000 1,04 Jaquar ®< C 13S (Rhodia) 1< 2 200 000 0,8 Jaquar®< C-14s (Rhodia) 3< 2 000 000 0,72 Jaguar ®< Optima (Rhodia) 2< 500 000 1,3 Jaguar ®< Excel (Solvay) 2< 1 500 000 0,7 Hi-Care 1000 (Rhodia) 1< 600 000 0,7 N-Hance 3270 (ASI / Ashland) 1< 425 000 0,7 N-Hance 3196 (ASI / Ashland) 1< 1 100 000 0,8 AquaCat CG518 (ASI / Ashland) 1< 50 000 0,9 Polymer 1 from WO 2013 / 011122 A1 333 000 1,25 Polymer 2 from WO 2013 / 011122 A1 1 190 000 1,37 Polymer 3 from WO 2013 / 011122 A1 305 000 1,17 Polymer 4 from WO 2013 / 011122 A1 368 000 1,37 1< Known from FP 2999455 A1 2< Known from US20180311135 A1 3< Known from WO 2013 / 011122 A1

[0014] The term "charge density," as used here, refers to the ratio of positive charges on a monomer unit of a polymer to the molecular weight of that monomer unit. Charge density is expressed in meq / g (milliequivalents per gram). Multiplying the charge density by the molecular weight of the polymer determines the number of positively charged sites on a given polymer chain.

[0015] The term "cationic groups," as used here, refers to positively charged groups and partially charged groups. The term "partially charged groups," as used here, denotes groups that can become positively charged depending on the pH of the formulation. Such groups can also be called "potentially cationic groups." As used here, the term "cationic" means at least partially cationic. Thus, the terms "cationizing agents," "cationic groups," and "cationic units" encompass ammonium (which carries a positive charge), but also primary, secondary, and tertiary amines and their precursors (which can lead to positively charged compounds).

[0016] For cationic guars, the charge density can be measured using a standard elemental analysis of the percentage nitrogen, a method known to those skilled in the art. For cationic copolymers, the charge density depends on the monomers used in the synthesis. Standard NMR techniques known to those skilled in the art are used to confirm this ratio of cationic to nonionic monomers in the polymer.

[0017] Despite the fact that numerous documents document the use of guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride in shampoo preparations, none of the documents could lead the person skilled in the art to the subject matter of the present invention.

[0018] Surprisingly, a shampoo preparation has now been developed that exhibits the aforementioned properties of preparations containing polyquaternium-10, without the use of higher cationic polymer concentrations. This problem was surprisingly solved by the subject matter of the present invention.

[0019] The present invention relates to a shampoo preparation containing a) at least one first guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride having a mean molecular weight of more than 2,000,000 to 2,500,000 Daltons and a charge density of 0.5 to 1.0 meq / g, b) at least one second guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride having a mean molecular weight of 400,000 to less than 2,000,000 Daltons and a charge density of 0.5 to 1.0 meq / g, c) one or more surfactants the average molecular weight is determined by means of light scattering.

[0020] Where weight percentages (wt%) are given below without reference to a specific composition or mixture, these percentages always refer to the total weight of the preparation. Where ratios of components / substances / groups of substances are disclosed below, these ratios refer to the weight ratios of the components / substances / groups of substances mentioned.

[0021] Where weight percentage ranges for the components of the preparation are specified below, the disclosure of the present application also includes all individual values ​​in steps of 0.1 wt.% within these weight percentage ranges.

[0022] The terms "according to the invention", "advantageous according to the invention", "advantageous in the sense of the present invention" etc. always refer, within the scope of the present disclosure, to the preparation according to the invention as well as the use according to the invention and the method.

[0023] Unless otherwise stated, all tests were conducted under standard conditions. "Standard conditions" means 20°C, 1013 hPa, and a relative humidity of 50%.

[0024] When the term "skin" is used, it primarily refers to human skin. All substances mentioned below are named according to their INCI declaration or by their unambiguous chemical names.

[0025] Emulsifiers are defined as all substances listed as "emulsifying agents" in the International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary and Handbook, Thirteenth Edition 2010 (ISBN 1-882621-47-6). Surfactants are defined as all substances listed as "surfactants" in the International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary and Handbook, Thirteenth Edition 2010 (ISBN 1-882621-47-6).

[0026] Any viscosity values ​​given in this disclosure refer to measurements taken at 25°C in a 150 ml wide-mouth bottle (VWR No.: 807-001) using the Rheomat R 123 from proRheo. The Rheomat R 123 from proRheo GmbH is a rotational viscometer, meaning that a measuring element rotates within the substance being measured. The force required to rotate the measuring element within the sample at a predetermined speed is measured. The viscosity is then calculated from this torque, the rotational speed of the measuring element, and the geometric dimensions of the measuring system. The measuring element used is No. 1 (article no. 200 0191), suitable for a viscosity range up to 10,000 mPa·s and a rotational speed of 62.5 min⁻¹.

[0027] When this disclosure refers to an average, that average always refers to arithmetic means.

[0070] The microemulsion contains as essential components an alkyl polyglycoside, specifically an alkyl(oligo)glycoside (hereinafter also referred to as "APG"). Alkyl and / or alkenyl oligoglycosides, as defined in this teaching, follow the formula R1< O-[G]p, where R1< represents an alkyl and / or alkenyl group with 4 to 22 carbon atoms, G represents a sugar group with 5 or 6 carbon atoms, and p represents numbers from 1 to 10. They can be obtained by the relevant methods of preparative organic chemistry.

The preferred alkyl and / or alkenyl oligoglycosides are therefore alkyl and / or alkenyl oligoglucosides. The index number p in the general formula (I) indicates the degree of oligomerization (DP), i.e. the distribution of mono- and oligoglycosides, and represents a number between 1 and 10.While p in a given compound must always be an integer and can primarily take on values ​​from 1 to 6, the value p for a specific alkyl oligoglycoside is an analytically determined calculated quantity, usually a fraction. Alkyl and / or alkenyl oligoglycosides with an average degree of oligomerization p of 1.1 to 3.0 are preferably used. From an application-related perspective, alkyl and / or alkenyl oligoglycosides with a degree of oligomerization less than 1.7, and particularly between 1.2 and 1.5, are preferred. APGs are present in the microemulsions according to the present invention in amounts between 10 and 20 wt.%, based on the total amount of the microemulsion. Amounts in the range of 14 to 19 wt.%, based on the microemulsion, are particularly preferred. Decyl glucoside is particularly preferred as the alkyl polyglycoside used.

[0071] Furthermore, monoesters of fatty acids with chain lengths of C12-C22 are contained in the emulsions with glycerol. Monoesters of glycerol with unsaturated linear fatty acids are particularly suitable. Glycerol monooleate is especially preferred according to the invention. These glycerol esters are present in the microemulsions in amounts of 4 to 20 wt.%, preferably 8 to 15 wt.%, based on the total weight of the microemulsion.

[0072] Finally, the microemulsion contains an oil body, i.e., a non-water-soluble organic phase in amounts of 5 to 30 wt%. Particularly preferred oil phases are selected from the group of Guerbet alcohols based on fatty alcohols with 6 to 18 carbon atoms, esters of linear C6-C22 fatty acids with linear or branched C6-C22 fatty alcohols, or...Esters of branched C6-C13 carboxylic acids with linear or branched C6-C22 fatty alcohols, esters of linear C6-C22 fatty acids with branched alcohols, esters of C6-C22 fatty alcohols and / or Guerbet alcohols with aromatic carboxylic acids, triglycerides based on C6-C10 fatty acids, liquid mono- / di- / triglyceride mixtures based on C6-C18 fatty acids, esters of C2-C12 dicarboxylic acids with linear or branched alcohols with 1 to 22 carbon atoms or polyols with 2 to 10 carbon atoms and 2 to 6 hydroxyl groups, vegetable oils, branched primary alcohols, substituted cyclohexanes, linear and branched C6-C22 fatty alcohol carbonates, Guerbet carbonates based on fatty alcohols with 6 to 18, preferably 8 to 10 C atoms, esters of benzoic acid with linear and / or branched C6-C22 alcohols, linear or branched, symmetrical or unsymmetrical dialkyl ethers with 6 to 22 carbon atoms per alkyl group, aliphatic orNaphthenic hydrocarbons and / or dialkylcyclohexanes. However, solid fats and / or waxes can also be present as oil components. These may also be mixed with the oils mentioned in the previous section.

[0081] The above preparations were analyzed in a consumer test. A total of 522 people participated in the consumer test. For this purpose, 174 consumers each received products Example 1, Comparison 1, or Comparison 2.

[0082] Consumers should use the product 3-4 times per week for 10-12 days. Afterwards, they should answer the questions listed in Table 3. The measurements shown represent averages of the given answers. Tab.3 Measurement result Example 1 See 1 See 2 How creamy does the lather of the product feel when washing the hair (0 = not creamy and 100 = very creamy)? 74 69 70 Does the product leave a pleasant tactile feeling during use (0 = not pleasant and 100 = very pleasant)? 82 72 74 How easily can the product be rinsed out (0 = very difficult and 100 = very easy)? 88 78 86 Does the hair feel soft when rinsing out the product?

[0083] As can be seen, the shampoo preparation according to the invention of Bps.1 has significantly improved properties compared to Cf.1 and Cf.2, without the need to use higher amounts of polymer.

[0084] Furthermore, the following preparations were provided, of which only Example 2 represents an example according to the invention: Tab.4 Ingredients Example 2 See 3 See 4 See 5 Aqua Ad 100 Ad 100 Ad 100 Ad 100 Cocamidopropyl Betaine 2,94 2,94 2,94 2,94 Glycerin 0,22 0,22 0,22 0,22 Sodium Chloride 0,44 0,44 0,44 0,44 Sodium Laureth Sulfate 9 9 9 9 Microemulsion made from 52.5% Aqua, 0.5% Benzoic Acid, 2% Citric Acid, 15% Decyl Glucoside; 20% Dicaprylyl Ether and 10% Glyceryl Oleate 0,25 0,25 0,25 0,25 Decyl Glucoside 1,50 1,50 1,50 1,50 Polyquaternium-10 0,18 Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride ** 0,09 0,18 Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride *** 0,09 0,18 Citric Acid 0,9 0,9 0,9 0,9 Sodium Benzoate 0,45 0,45 0,45 0,45 Sodium Chloride 0,5 0,5 0,5 0,5 Perfume 0,7 0,7 0,7 0,7 Measurement results: Gliding performance (30s) 7,33 6,33 7 5,667 Rinseability (30s) 5,67 5,33 5,333 5,333 combability 6,67 5,67 5,667 6 ** und *** siehe oben.

[0085] The preparations shown in Table 4 were investigated in a further panel study with 5 participants, all of whom were trained personnel. The 5 participants washed human hair wefts to assess the parameters. The following protocol was followed: A human hair weft (10g free hair weight, bleached for 0.5h) was treated with 0.2g of product per 1g of hair. While the product was being lathered, the glide was assessed after 30 seconds (a value of 0 means that it is difficult to glide over the weft because the resistance is too high, and a value of 10 means that it glides over the weft without resistance). The product was then rinsed with lukewarm tap water, and the rinseability was assessed after 30 seconds (0 = difficult to rinse, 10 = easy to rinse). After rinsing, wet combability was assessed using a comb (Hercules Sägemann, No. 623.7 / 394).7, fine side) assessed (0=difficult to comb, high resistance and 10 particularly easy to comb, little resistance).

[0086] The results are also shown in Table 4. Comparing the results to Example 2, it is again evident that despite the lower polymer concentration and the omission of polyquaternium-10, significantly improved lubricity, rinseability, and combability are achieved. A further comparison of Example 2 with Example 3 and Example 4 shows that, with regard to all parameters, a synergistic improvement is achieved compared to the single use of guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride.
