Description

The invention relates to a textile treatment agent with skin-friendly properties. The invention also relates to the use of the textile treatment agent and a process for its preparation.

Anionic surfactants are important components of detergents and cleaners because they remove a variety of textile contaminants. Anionic surfactants are particularly effective in fatty soils. However, when in contact with skin (for example, directly on hand washing or while wearing anionic surfactant residues remaining on the fabric after washing), they may also interact with it and dry it, for example, by removing the skin fat.

Milder anionic surfactants, as used for example in personal cleansers, do not give adequate performance in detergents and cleaners for textiles, especially with regard to fatty soiling.

But also the pure wearing of textiles leads by friction or by a water transfer from the skin to the textile to undesirable interactions between the textile and the skin, whereby the skin is strained and / or damaged.

From the WO 03/064583 A1 Therefore, solid detergents are known which contain plant extracts which are known for their skin friendliness. From the US 6,494,920 For example, detergent compositions containing ester quat and aloe are known.

In particular, in the case of hydrophobic, skin-friendly compounds, for example vegetable oils, the problem arises that they are emulsified by the surface-active compounds present in the washing or rinsing liquor and then removed with the washing or rinsing liquor. Also, the Aufziehverhalten on textiles is often weak in hydrophobic, skin-friendly compounds.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a fabric treatment composition which makes skin treated therewith skin friendly.

• a) Proteine oder Aminosäuren,
• b) Monosaccharide oder Oligosaccharide aus 2 bis 10 Monosacchariden,
• c) Triacylglycerole von Fettsäuren mit mindestens 8 Kohlenstoffatomen,
• d) Vitamine aus der Vitamin B-Gruppe,
• e) Sterole und
• f) 4-Hydroxybenzoesäuremethylester.

This object is achieved by a textile treatment agent containing in each case at least one ingredient of at least three of groups a) to f), where groups a) to f) each comprise the following ingredients:

• a) proteins or amino acids,
• b) monosaccharides or oligosaccharides of 2 to 10 monosaccharides,
• c) triacylglycerols of fatty acids having at least 8 carbon atoms,
• d) vitamins from the vitamin B group,
• e) Sterols and
• f) 4-hydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester.

It has surprisingly been found that the combination of at least three of the ingredients mentioned, even in small quantities the textile treatment agent gives a skin-friendly effect. Most preferably, the textile treatment agent contains in each case at least one ingredient of at least four of the groups a) to f).

Furthermore, these ingredients are found in nature and are thus "renewable resources". The total amount of ingredients from groups a) to f) is preferably between 0.001 and 5 wt .-%, preferably between 0.01 and 1 wt .-% and particularly preferably between 0.02 and 0.5 wt .-%.

In a preferred embodiment, the textile treatment agent further contains at least one ingredient selected from the group consisting of biopterin, neopterin, the lot elements and the essential trace elements.

These other ingredients lead to a further improvement of the skin-friendly or hautnutritiven properties of the textile treatment agent.

It is very particularly preferred that the textile treatment agent contains royal jelly.

Royal jelly is a product of the honeybee and is used as a special feed to raise the queens of the bee colonies. He contains. in addition to water about 4 to 8 wt .-% fats, about 10 to 23 wt .-% sugar, about 9 to 18 wt .-% proteins and amino acids and lower levels of vitamins from the vitamin B group, 4-hydroxybenzoate, sterols , Redox cofactors, bulk elements and essential trace elements.

A textile treatment with royal jelly is not only skin-friendly, but it also has hautnutritive properties.

It is very particularly preferred that the royal jelly has been used in a dried, particularly preferably spray-dried, form.

Furthermore, it is advantageous that the textile treatment agent is selected from the group consisting of detergents, fabric softeners, softening detergents ("2in1") and washing auxiliaries.

In the case that the fabric treatment agent is a softener, it is preferred that it contains a softening component.

Fabric softeners are particularly preferred as textile treatment agents, as they come into contact with the textiles only in the last step of a conventional textile washing process, the rinse, and thus can attract as many ingredients to the textiles without the risk that they washed out in subsequent steps again becomes.

The invention furthermore relates to the use of the textile treatment agent according to the invention for cleaning and / or conditioning textile fabrics.

In addition, the invention relates to the use of the textile treatment agent according to the invention for the treatment of fabrics, which confer an advantage on contact with the skin.

The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of a textile treatment agent containing royal jelly, in which the royal jelly is used in dried, particularly preferably spray-dried form.

The textile treatment agents of the invention are described in detail below, inter alia, by way of examples.

• a) Proteine oder Aminosäuren,
• b) Monosaccharide oder Oligosaccharide aus 2 bis 10 Monosacchariden,
• c) Triacylglycerole von Fettsäuren mit mindestens 8 Kohlenstoffatomen,
• d) Vitamine aus der Vitamin B-Gruppe,
• e) Sterole und
• f) 4-Hydroxybenzoesäuremethylester.

The textile treatment agents necessarily contain three ingredients selected from the following groups:

• a) proteins or amino acids,
• b) monosaccharides or oligosaccharides of 2 to 10 monosaccharides,
• c) triacylglycerols of fatty acids having at least 8 carbon atoms,
• d) vitamins from the vitamin B group,
• e) Sterols and
• f) 4-hydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester.

Furthermore, it is imperative that the at least three ingredients are selected from at least three different groups. However, it is preferred that the textile treatment agent in each case contains at least one ingredient of at least four of the groups a) to f).

The ingredients of groups a) to e) have skin-care properties. In the present invention, large amounts of these ingredients, upon contact of a textile with the fabric treatment agent, attract the textile and, upon contact of the fabric with skin so treated, provide the skin with an advantage over a fabric which has not been treated with the fabric treatment composition of the present invention. This benefit may include, for example, the transfer of one or more skin care ingredients from the fabric to the skin, reduced water transfer from the skin to the fabric, or less friction on the skin surface through the textile.

The usable proteins and / or amino acids can be, for example, of plant or animal origin and can be obtained by hydrolysis and / or extraction of silk fibers, wheat, soya, milk products or wool.

The group of mono- and oligosaccharides includes, for example, D-ribose, D-xylose, L-arabinose, D-glucose, D-mannose, D-galactose, D-fructose, sorbose, L-fucose, L-rhamnose, sucrose, Raffinose, trehalose, xylooligosaccharides, galactooligosaccharides, lactose, maltose and cellobiose.

Suitable triacylglycerols include in particular the mixed triacylglycerols of even higher number of carbon atoms having at least 8 carbon atoms. Particular preference is given to using the (mixed) triacylglycerols of dodecanoic acid, tetradecanoic acid, stearic acid, palmitic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and / or linolenic acid.

The vitamin B complex includes the structurally very different vitamins thiamine, riboflavin, vitamin 66, vitamin B ₁₂ , folic acid, niacin, biotin and pantothenic acid.

Sterols are a cholesterol-derived group of naturally occurring steroids that have a 3-β-hydroxy group and a 17β-aliphatic side chain, usually consisting of 8 to 10 carbon atoms. They are generally derived from the steroidal parent hydrocarbons 5-α-cholestane, 5-α-ergostane, 5-α-campestane, 5-α-poriferastan and 5-α-stigmastane. Sterols occur in free form or ester-like or glycosidically bound as cell components in the animal and plant kingdom on. Depending on the occurrence, for example, a distinction is made between the zoosterols of the animal kingdom, the phytosterols of the plant kingdom or the mycosterols in fungi.

4-Hydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester is a naturally occurring preservative.

The total amount of ingredients from groups a) to f) is preferably between 0.001 and 5 wt .-%, more preferably between 0.01 and 1 wt .-% and particularly preferably between 0.02 and 0.5 wt .-% ,

Besides these ingredients, the fabric treatment agent may further contain at least one ingredient selected from the group consisting of biopterin, neopterin, the lot elements and the essential trace elements.

Quantity elements are inorganic food constituents whose essentiality in humans in amounts> 50 mg / day is experimentally proven. These are the elements sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, sulfur and chlorine.

Essential trace elements (microelements) are inorganic food constituents whose content in the tissue is below 50 ppm (below 50 mg / kg wet weight) whose essentiality in humans in an amount <50 mg / day is experimentally detected and whose function is biochemically ensured. In humans, these are, for example, chromium, cobalt, iron, iodine, copper, manganese, molybdenum, selenium and zinc.

It is particularly preferred that the textile treatment agent contains royal jelly. Royal jelly contains from each group a) to f) at least one ingredient and thus has not only skin-friendly, but also hautnutritive properties.

Suitably, the royal jelly is used in a dried, especially spray-dried, form, as these are easier to handle in industrial processes.

Particularly preferably be used commercially available raw materials are freeze-dried royal jelly (ex pan Schmidt) or Mellidyn ^® LS 9657 (ex Cognis hubris preparation of monosaccharides from honey with propolis extract, honey and royal jelly).

All samples were storage stable for several weeks and showed no undesirable changes. To determine the storage stability, the compositions were stored in electronically controlled heating chambers. The storage time at 40 ° C was 4 weeks and at 23 ° C for 12 weeks. This was followed by visual and olfactory matching of the compositions.

By means of the BCA method it can be demonstrated that the proteins contained in the royal jelly can be stably incorporated into the textile treatment agents and later actually applied to textiles when they have been treated with the textile treatment agents according to the invention. In each case, samples containing no royal jelly or treated with a textile treatment agent without added royal jelly serve as comparison.

The detection of proteins with the BCA method is based on the fact that proteins with Cu ²⁺ ions in alkaline solution form a complex (biuret reaction). The Cu ²⁺ ions of this complex are reduced to Cu ⁺ ions, which form a violet color complex with bicinchinone acid (BCA). The absorbance of this color complex is measured at 562 nm. BCA protein detection kits are available, for example, from Pierce and Novagen.

Using the BCA method, proteins in the formulations E1 to E4 could be detected.

An analysis of the treated textiles was carried out with the textile treatment agents E1 and E3 and V1. For this, cotton T-shirts were washed and dried. In the rinse cycle of the washing process, either the textile treatment agents E1 or E3 according to the invention or the fabric softener V1 with the same composition were added without added royal jelly. After drying were cut the same size strips from the respective T-shirts and put them in a jar. Subsequently, the samples were analyzed according to the working instruction of the BCA protein detection kit. Protein was clearly detected in samples treated with E1 or E3 textile treatment, while detection was always negative in the control samples.

In a study of textiles treated with textile treatment agents E1 and E3 and V1 by five trained persons, textiles treated with textile treatment agents E1 and E3 were accorded a more pleasant, softer feel and, in particular, a lower "feeling of friction".
