Description

object The present invention involves the use of gold catalysts for deodorization, i. for fighting, suppression or eliminate odors hair or skin, as well as appropriate cosmetic products and method of hair treatment.

disagreeableness odors of hair or skin can caused by the adhesion of odors from the environment or by body odor due to sweat secretion or sweat decomposition. Especially Due to its large surface, the hair is more susceptible to absorption and fixation Environmental odors. So the hair takes by mere stay in rooms where smoked heavily becomes, an obtrusive "pub smell". Also the stay in kitchens, in which strong-smelling meals are prepared, in workshops or Garages in which the air is contaminated with mineral oil and diesel fuel is, or in cattle sheds leads to a picture of typical smells, the most persistent cling to the hair. Although you can by washing the hair with the usual Shampoos these odors largely remove from the hair, but there is a need to unpleasant smell of hair through a less complex care treatment to fight effectively or do not even arise or adhere.

Around to give the hair or the skin a pleasant smell Hair and skin treatment products mostly a perfume which has the purpose, unpleasant fragrances, like food scents, Cigarette smoke or body odor to cover and give the hair or skin a certain odor note. The disadvantage is that only one scent by a others are replaced by the natural fragrance of clean hair or the clean skin continues to be masked by the artificial scent of the perfume.

conventional cosmetic products for reducing or inhibiting body odor are based on adsorbents in addition to the fragrances for odor coverage for odor control, on antimicrobial substances for the inhibition of Sweat-degrading skin germs, on enzyme inhibitors for inhibition sweat-splitting esterases or substances that cause sweating Counteract, the so-called antiperspirants. Adsorbents have the disadvantage of being earlier or later exhausted in their effect are. The other of the substances mentioned have the disadvantage that they only against the body's own smells, but not against taken from the environment, alien odors are effective.

odor Substances are also outside of cosmetic applications used, e.g. in the field of air fresheners or household products, such as clothes fresheners, carpet cleaners or household soaps. The active ingredients used in such products are usually not applicable to hair, as it is expected that they are inadequate Have adhesion to the hair or the hair too strong burden or Hair properties such as gloss, touch, color or hold undesirable affect.

Products for permanent wave or smoothing treatments of human hair are based on reducing agents, which are temporary Soften the hair. The commonly used agents have a thiol group as a reducing principle. Most frequently come here while thioglycolic acid, thiolactic Cysteine and cysteamine are used. All these thiols are mean, that they are in watery Solution in the Over time, develop a very unpleasant odor. Also up to several days after perming, especially if the hair becomes moist, e.g. in rain, fog or in the sauna, can smallest Quantities constantly evaporating sulfur compounds for an unpleasant micro-odor climate in in close proximity to to worry about the nose. Oxidizing hairs often contain ammonia or amines which on the one hand act as alkalizing agents and on the other hand improve the penetration of the color molecules into the hair. Ammonia and amine residues in hair can be treated after staining too unwanted smells to lead.

Out DE 198 57 235 A aqueous, clear gels are known which contain finely divided metal oxides, including zinc oxide, in order to bind odors in dermatological or hair cosmetic products. JP 2003-137758 A relates to odor masking compositions for hair treatment agents. Numerous essential oils suitable for odor control are listed here. In the DE 100 01 712 A1 describes deodorizing hair care products containing an obtained from plants of the genus Yucca active ingredient. In the EP 1 169 999 A2 Be hair treatment agents in aerosol form for suppression described by unpleasant scents of the hair. The effect of the substances used is based on a reduction of the vapor pressure of malodorous substances by neutralization or adsorption.

The so far to fight known from hair or body odors Compositions are not fully satisfactory yet that they merely replace one smell with another, too quickly exhausted are not sufficiently attached to skin or hair or unwanted side effects show such as Excessive stress on the hair or skin irritation. It was therefore the task of further ways to combat smells hair or skin.

object The invention relates to cosmetic agents, in particular hair or skin treatment agents a content of at least one gold catalyst in a cosmetic acceptable carrier medium. The invention also relates to the use of gold catalysts or the inventive agent for fighting, suppression or eliminate odors hair or skin, in particular smoke, sulfur compounds or amine compounds based odors of the hair. sulfur compounds are e.g. organic substances with sulfide groups. amine compounds are e.g. Ammonia or organic substances with primary, secondary or tertiary Amine groups. The smells can causes its e.g. by staying in rooms where heavily smoked will, in kitchens, in which e.g. strong smelling dishes are prepared in workshops or Garages in which the air is e.g. contaminated with mineral oil and diesel fuel is or in cattle sheds or the smells can caused by chemical hair treatments, e.g. permanent wave or dyeing treatments. Presumably, the odor control is based Effect on a catalytic, oxidative transformation of unpleasant smelling substances into no, less or pleasant-smelling substances.

The Amounts of gold catalysts can be used, for example, in the from 0.001 to 5% by weight or 0.01 to 2% by weight. Naturally, that is odor-reducing effect in leave-on products considerably stronger than at rinse-off products. In leave-on products, 1/10 to 1/1000 of that use concentration, as used in rinse-off products, suffice to To significantly suppress an unpleasant odor or completely to stop, e.g. 0.001 to 1% by weight for leave-on products. The to Odor reduction to be used according to the invention Gold catalysts can alone, but also in combination with other odor reducing Substances such as cyclodextrins, ursolic acid, etc. are used.

catalysts are substances that activate energy to the expiration of a certain reduce chemical reaction and thereby the reaction rate increase, without being consumed in the reaction, so unchanged to emerge from the reaction. For gold catalysts, the catalytic Effect on the presence of catalytically active gold particles, preferably in the form of gold (0).
