The invention relates to a sprayable
hair tonic in the form of an oil-in-water
emulsion with a pH value of 3.0 to 7.0 at 20 °C, containing at least one water-insoluble oil component (A), at least one non-ionic emulsifier (B), at least one non-ionic co-emulsifier (C), water, and a buffer
system for stabilizing the pH value, wherein the
water content equals 60 - 90 wt.%, the component (A) is provided in a quantity of 1.5 to 20 wt.%, and the components (B) and (C) are provided in a total quantity of 1 to 12 wt.%. The invention is characterized in that
adenosine is provided in a quantity of 0.01 to 3 wt.%, and
urea and / or a
urea derivative is provided in a total quantity of 1.0 to 25 wt.%. The invention additionally relates to a method for producing sprayable aqueous preparations of
adenosine, in which an
aqueous solution of
adenosine is mixed with a finely dispersed
emulsion of an oil component (A), said oil component (A) having an average droplet
diameter of less than 1 µm (measured using a device based on the semi-elastic
light scattering principle (Zetasizer Nano ZS, 25 °C, square
polystyrene cuvette, 12 mm edge length (model DTS0012),
dilution: 0.025% w / w in water)), in such a quantity that 1.5 to 20 wt.% of the
emulsified oil component (A) is contained in the preparation. While being produced or after being produced and prior to being mixed with the adenosine solution, the
emulsion is brought to a
phase inversion temperature, and a
urea and / or a urea derivative is added to the obtained mixture at
room temperature. The invention also relates to the use of a sprayable aqueous preparation containing adenosine and urea and / or a urea derivative, comprising an
ethanol content of less than 18 wt.%, for cosmetically treating the
skin, in particular the
scalp.
