This invention relates to a sprayable
hair care product in the form of an oil-in-water
emulsion, having a pH value of 3.0 to 7.0 at 20°C, comprising at least one water-insoluble oil component (A), at least one nonionic emulsifier (B), at least one nonionic co-emulsifier (C), water, and a buffer
system for stabilizing the pH value, wherein the
water content is equal to 60 to 90% by weight, component (A) is provided in an amount of 1.5 to 20% by weight, and components (B) and (C) are provided in a total amount of 1 to 12% by weight. The invention is characterized in that
adenosine is provided in an amount of 0.01 to 3% by weight, and
urea and / or
urea derivatives are provided in a total amount of 1.0 to 25% by weight. This invention also relates to a method for preparing a sprayable aqueous formulation of
adenosine, wherein an
aqueous solution of
adenosine is mixed with a finely dispersed
emulsion of an oil component (A) such that the formulation contains 1.5 to 20% by weight of the
emulsified oil component (A), wherein the average droplet
diameter of the oil component (A) (measured using a device based on the principle of quasi-elastic
light scattering (Zetasizer Nano ZS, 25°C, square
polystyrene cuvette, 12 mm side length (model DTS0012),
dilution: 0.025% w / w in water)) is less than 1 μm. During or after preparation and before mixing with the adenosine solution, the
emulsion is brought to a
phase transition temperature, and
urea and / or
urea derivatives are added to the resulting mixture at
room temperature. This invention also relates to the use of a sprayable aqueous formulation containing adenosine and urea and / or
urea derivatives with an
ethanol content of less than 18% by weight for cosmetic treatment of the
skin, particularly the
scalp.
