Description

[0001] Combinations of one or more alkylamidothiazoles and one or more alkyl sarcosinates and cosmetic preparations containing such combinations Technical field The present invention belongs to the cosmetic field, and specifically relates to combinations of one or more alkylamidothiazoles and one or more alkyl sarcosinates, and cosmetic preparations containing such combinations. Background art In general, cosmetic products not only serve to look beautiful and attractive, but with their effect they make a decisive contribution to increased self-esteem and the well-being of people. Accordingly, a wide variety of cosmetic products are used for the daily cleaning and care of human skin. For example, cosmetic preparations for the care of human skin are known from DE 102011083259 A1, which contain alkylamidothiazoles. The alkylamidothiazoles are used in the cosmetic preparations to combat and prevent undesired pigmentation of the skin. In this way, the user's complexion can be decisively improved. It is also known from DE 102013226711 A1 that alkylamidothiazoles can be used in cosmetic or dermatological preparations for the prophylaxis and treatment of sensitive skin, itching, dry skin and inflammatory symptoms of human skin. The document discloses various cosmetic O / W emulsions for application to human skin. Furthermore, DE 102013204110 A1 discloses a large number of cosmetic preparations for the care of human skin containing alkylamidothiazoles. A particularly effective lightening of human skin is achieved by the combined use of alkylamidothiazoles with one or more cyclodextrins. However, the fact that the person skilled in the art knows a large number of cosmetic preparations containing alkylamidothiazoles must not obscure the fact that a large number of problems can arise when formulating cosmetic or dermatological preparations. A disadvantage, for example, is the fact that, alkylamidothiazoles show a relatively low solubility in cosmetically acceptable solvents. This circumstance creates considerable difficulties for manufacturers of cosmetic preparations, since it often requires a large number of emollients, which significantly increase the development costs of cosmetic products and negative sensory feeling. Summary of the invention One object of the present invention was therefore to provide a way of enhancing the solubility of alkylamidothiazoles in cosmetic products. This object is achieved by combinations of a) one or more alkylamidothiazoles and b) one or more alkyl sarcosinates of the general formula R1 and R2 being chosen, independently from each other, from the group of branched, linear or cyclic alkyl groups having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms. Astonishingly the alkyl sarcosinates according to the present invention significantly enhance the solubility of alkylamidothiazoles in comparison to other cosmetically acceptable oil components. It is equally possible and can be advantageous to use one or more alkyl sarcosinates according to the present invention as the only oil component or components in cosmetic compositions as well as in combination with other oil components. Another embodiment of the present invention is cosmetic preparations containing such combinations. Yet another embodiment of the present invention is use of one or more sarcosinates of the general formula R1 and R2 being chosen, independently from each other, from the group of branched, linear or cyclic alkyl groups having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms to enhance the solubility of one or more alkylamidothiazoles in cosmetic preparations. Advantageous embodiments of the present invention are also cosmetic or dermatological preparations with a content of a) one or more alkylamidothiazoles and b) one or more alkyl sarcosinates of the general formula , and the use thereof for lightening human skin. Preferably R1 can be chosen from the group of branched alkyl groups having up to 10 carbon atoms, more preferably up to 5 carbon atoms. Preferably R2 can be chosen from the group of linear alkyl groups having up to 18 carbon atoms, more preferably up to 15 carbon atoms. Most preferred embodiments of the present invention encompass which is believed to be the chemical formula of Isopropyl Lauroyl Sarcosinate. Advantageously, preparations according to the invention comprise formulations, where the total amount of the one or more alkylamidothiazoles is e.g.0.00001% by weight to 10% by weight, preferably 0.001% by weigh to 5% by weight, in particular 0.005% by weight to 3% by weight, based on the total weight of the preparations, in order to provide cosmetic preparations. Advantageously, preparations according to the invention comprise formulations, where the total amount of one or more alkyl sarcosinates is 0.00008% by weight to 80 % by weight, preferably to preferably 0.008% by weigh to 40% by weight, in particular 0.04% by weight to 12% by weight, based on the total weight of the preparations, in order to provide cosmetic preparations.
