Abstract

The present invention provides a hair composition comprising: a) a hydroxypropyl guar hydroxypropyl trimonium chloride having a molecular weight in the range of 2,000,000 to 3,500,000 g / mol; and b) one or more cationic cellulose derivatives.

Description

The invention relates to cosmetic compositions, in particular hair compositions, comprising modified polysaccharide and at least one cationic cellulose derivative. The compositions show a surprisingly effective repair of split ends. The compositions can be used for the care of keratin fibers. The invention also relates to a method of repairing split ends comprising applying the hair composition to the hair.

Split ends is a phenomenon that manifests itself in the fact that the hair fibers become porous and individual hairs are split from their ends. Split ends are caused, among other things, by strong mechanical stress on the hair, for example by frequent brushing, combing back or combing against high combing resistance. High combing resistance in dry hair can be caused by damage to the hair surface, static electricity or stickiness due to residues from hairsprays. The risk of split ends is also increased by a weakening of the hair structure, which can be caused by frequent or careless use of chemical treatments, for example with a perm or dyeing.

Accordingly, there has been no lack of attempts to regenerate hair damaged by split ends by applying suitable preparations; H. stop the development of split ends and repair the split ends.

The repair of split ends was previously only possible with so-called hair tip fluids, which have to be used in addition to daily hair care products. It was found that hair tip liquids containing silicone only work until the next hair wash. They weigh down the hair and have to be applied to the ends of the hair in an additional application step.

Earlier attempts were not always completely satisfactory with products that are rinsed off the hair after application (so-called rinse-off products), such as shampoos and hair conditioners / treatments.

The provision of hair compositions which have a beneficial effect on the repair of split ends is therefore a relevant goal in the field of hair cosmetics.

According to the invention, the object is achieved by a hair composition comprising: a) hydroxypropylguarhydroxypropyltrimonium chloride with an average molecular weight in the range from 2,000,000 to 3,500,000 g / mol; and b) and at least one cationic cellulose derivative. The hair composition can take any form; preferably it is a shampoo, conditioner, or treatment.

The compositions disclosed herein surprisingly lead to an increased care performance of hair formulations, in particular with regard to the repair of split ends. It has surprisingly been found that a combination of a guar as defined herein and specific cationic cellulose derivatives as defined herein enables a semi-permanent repair of split ends by using rinsable hair care formulations. The inventive combination also improves wet and dry combability and reduces hair breakage. The compositions comprising the combination can be hair shampoos as well as conditioners or treatments. For the first time, split ends can be repaired semi-permanently using rinse-off formulations; it is not necessary to use an additional anti-split product.

The present invention also provides a method of repairing split ends comprising applying a hair composition as defined herein to the hair.

The present invention further provides the use of a hair composition as defined herein for repairing split ends.

The invention, summarized above, will now be presented in greater detail.

Component (a) in the hair composition according to the invention is a hydroxypropylguarhydroxypropyltrimonium chloride with an average molecular weight in the range from 2,000,000 to 3,500,000 g / mol. The hydroxypropylguarhydroxypropyltrimonium chloride preferably has an average molecular weight in the range from 2,300,000 to 2,900,000 g / mol. The average molecular weight can as is well known to those skilled in the art, can be measured by any suitable means. For example, static light scatter measurements can be performed using gel permeation chromatography (GPC). A suitable system is GPC-MALS (multi-angle light scattering).

Another characteristic of hydroxypropyl guar hydroxypropyl trimonium chloride is its viscosity; suitably the viscosity ranges from 600 to 1200 mPa, more preferably from 750 to 850 mPa. In all cases disclosed herein, the viscosity is the Brookfield RVT viscosity, measured at 25 ° C. and 20 rpm, spindle 2, at a concentration of 1 part by weight in water.

A particularly preferred hydroxypropyl guar hydroxypropyl trimonium chloride for use in the present invention is present in the raw material Polycare® Split Therapy available from Solvay.

The total amount of hydroxypropyl guar hydroxypropyl trimonium chloride can range from 0.001 to 5.0 percent by weight based on the total weight of the composition. The best effects were observed when the amount of hydroxypropylguarhydroxypropyltrimonium chloride was in the range from 0.05 to 3.0% by weight based on the total weight of the composition, for example from 0.1 to 2% by weight, suitably from 0, 1 to 1% by weight.

Component (b) in the hair composition according to the invention is a cationic cellulose derivative or a mixture of cationic cellulose derivatives. The derivative can be a polymer of hydroxyethyl cellulose, optionally reacted with a hydrophobing agent (which can be defined as any reagent that hydrophobically modifies the cellulose).

Cationic surfactants carry a positive charge in their hydrophilic part. This positive charge causes the surfactant molecules to bind to the negatively charged skin and hair surface. In this way, they neutralize the charge, prevent the hair from flying, have a smoothing effect, increase hair shine and make it easier to comb when wet. They are primarily used in conditioners, hair conditioners and treatments, rarely in shampoos. In addition, due to their bactericidal effect, i.e. their bacteria-inhibiting effect, cationic surfactants also have a preservative effect in cosmetic products.

Other cationic polymers obtained from natural sources (in addition to guar), such as a cationic inulin polymer, are also suitable. Inulin is a polysaccharide that belongs to the group of fructans. In addition to a terminal glucose component, it comprises up to 60 fructose monomers in the chain, each of which is linked to one another via β-2,1-glycosidic bonds. Inulin can be obtained from the leaves, roots, fruits and / or flowers of sunflower and / or umbelliferous plants such as Jerusalem artichokes, artichokes and / or parsnips. Cationic inulin polymers particularly suitable according to the invention are cationically modified by reacting hydroxyl groups of the fructose building blocks with reactive quaternary ammonium compounds. Suitable quaternary ammonium compounds are preferably compounds of the following formula N '(R ₁ R ₂ R ₃ R ₄ ) X ^-
where R ₁ , R ₂ and R _{3 are} methyl or ethyl groups and R _{4 is} an epoxide-Rs or a halohydrin group Y-CH ₂ -CH (OH) -R ₅ -, R _{5 is} a C1-C3-alkylene group, Y is a halide and X is an anion such as Cl ^- , Br ^- , I ^- or HSO ₄ ^- . Particularly suitable cationic inulin polymers (b) for the purposes of this invention correspond to the formula RO-CH ₂ -CH (OH) -R ₅ -N ⁺ (R ₁ R ₂ R ₃ ) X ^- ,
where R is inulin and the other radicals have the same meanings as above.

Suitable cationic inulin polymers are those which have been cationically modified with cationic hydroxy-C1-C3-alkyltrialkylammonium groups, in particular with hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium groups. Within this design, cationic inulin polymers are preferred, which are known under the INCI name Hydroxypropyltrimonium Inulin and are commercially available.

The degree of cationic substitution of cationic inulin polymers, in particular of cationic inulins known as hydroxypropyltrimonium inulin (INCI), can be varied and adjusted as required. For use in the cosmetic compositions according to the invention, it has proven to be particularly preferred if such cationically modified inulin polymers have a higher degree have cationic modification (higher degree of cationic substitution), as this enables better coacervate formation and ultimately better care performance with the preparations.

Other cationic polymers selected from cationic polymers of natural origin, preferably cationic polygalactomannan derivatives. Galactomannans are polysaccharides, which consist of combinations of mannose and galactose monomers in different contents. The mannose units are connected to one another via ß (1-4) -glycosidic bonds; the galactose units via a (1-6) bonds. The ratio of mannose to galactose monomers varies depending on the type and origin of the plant and the temperature at which it was grown. In Greek fenugreek gum, the mannose-galactose ratio is about 1: 1 (corresponding to a monomer mannose to a monomer galactose); with guar gum about 2: 1; with tare gum about 3: 1; in locust bean gum about 4: 1; and about 5: 1 for cassia gum. All galactomannans from these sources are suitable for cationic modification and use as polymers in the cosmetic compositions according to the invention. Guar gum and / or cassia gum are particularly suitable for use in cosmetic products according to the invention.

Like cationic inulin polymers, galactomannans, preferably galactomannans from the above sources, can be cationically modified by reacting the hydroxyl groups of galactomannan polymers with reactive quaternary ammonium compounds. Suitable quaternary ammonium compounds are preferably compounds of the following formula N ⁺ (R ₁ R ₂ R ₃ R ₄ ) X ^-

Particularly suitable cationic galactomannan polymers for the purposes of this invention correspond to the formula RO-CH ₂ -CH (OH) -R ₅ -N ⁺ (R ₁ R ₂ R ₃ ) X ^- ,
where R represents the respective galactomannan and the other radicals have the same meaning as defined above.

Guar and cassia polymers, which are known under the INCI names Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Hydroxypropyl Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride (other than that used as component (a) in the hair composition disclosed herein) and / or Cassia Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, are available from various suppliers, for example under the names Jaguar®, N-Hance®, Polycare®, Clearhance®, Activsoft®, Guarquat®, Vida-Care®. Jaguar® C-162, Jaguar® C500, Jaguar® Styl 100, N-Hance® 3196, N-Hance® HPCG 1000, Activsoft® C17, Guarquat® C130 KC, Guarquat® CP500 KC, Vida-Care® GHTC and / or Polycare® Split Therapy are specific examples of cationic polymers of natural origin that are particularly suitable according to the invention.

Suitable plant extracts are extracts that can be produced from all parts of a plant. Usually these extracts are made by extracting the whole plant. In individual cases, however, it can also be preferred to produce the extracts exclusively from flowers and / or leaves of the plant. The most suitable extracts are Paeonia lactiflora, Rosa damascena flower, Malus domestica fruit, Argania spinosa peel powder, Laminaria saccharina, Cannabis sativa, green tea, oak bark, nettle, witch hazel, hops, chamomile, burdock root, horsetail, hawthorn , Linden flower, lychee, almond, aloe vera, spruce needle, horse chestnut, sandalwood, juniper, coconut, mango, apricot, lime, wheat, kiwi, melon, orange, grapefruit, sage, rosemary, birch, mallow, cuckoo flower, quendel, yarrow, Thyme, lemon balm, hemlock, coltsfoot, marshmallow, ginseng, ginger root, Echinacea purpurea, Olea europea, Boerhavia diffusa roots, Foeniculum vulgaris and Apim graveolens.

Water, alcohols and their mixtures can be used as extraction agents for the production of the mentioned plant extracts. Of the alcohols, lower alcohols such as ethanol and isopropanol are particularly preferred, but in particular polyhydric alcohols such as ethylene glycol and propylene glycol, both as the sole extraction agent and as a mixture with water. Plant extracts based on water / propylene glycol in a ratio of 1:10 to 10: 1 have proven to be particularly suitable. The plant extracts can be used both in pure and in diluted form. If they are used in diluted form, they usually contain approx. 2-80% by weight of active substance and, as the solvent, the extractant or extractant mixture used in their production. The plant extracts can be used in the hair compositions according to the invention (based on the total weight of the products) preferably in an amount from 0.01 to 10% by weight, more preferably from 0.05 to 7.5% by weight and in particular from 0.1 up to 5% by weight can be used.

Protein hydrolysates are product mixtures that are obtained by acid-catalyzed, base-catalyzed or enzymatically-catalyzed degradation of proteins. According to the invention, the term “protein hydrolysates” is also understood to mean total hydrolysates and also individual amino acids and derivatives thereof and mixtures of different amino acids. The molecular mass of the protein hydrolyzates which can be used according to the invention is between 75, the molecular mass for glycine, and 200,000 Daltons, and the molecular mass is preferably 75 to 50,000 Daltons and very particularly preferably 75 to 20,000 Daltons. Preferred protein hydrolyzates include hydrolyzed keratin, hydrolyzed collagen, hydrolyzed pearl, and hydrolyzed silk.

The hair composition according to the invention can also contain at least one vitamin, a provitamin, a vitamin precursor and / or one of the derivatives thereof as a care substance. Vitamins, provitamins and vitamin precursors which are normally assigned to groups A, B, C, E, F and H are preferred according to the invention. In particular, niacinamide (vitamin B3) and vitamin E (or a derivative thereof) are preferred.

The hair composition disclosed herein can also contain a perfume. Suitably a perfume is contained in an amount in a range from 0.1 to 0.8% by weight, preferably 0.2 to 0.6%, based on the weight of the hair composition.

A bitter substance is particularly important in cosmetics, household products, etc. that are manufactured in such a way that their shape, color, feel, etc. appeal to small children or babies and encourage them to play, which can also lead to swallowing. A bitter substance prevents this. Denatonium benzoate is an extremely strong bitter substance and is therefore particularly effective even at very low concentrations. In addition, there are no known adverse effects associated with it.

Suitable pH regulators which are particularly preferred for use in the compositions according to the invention are citric acid, lactic acid, malic acid, glycolic acid, especially citric acid and / or lactic acid. The pH regulator can also be a base such as alkanolamines and / or sodium hydroxide.

Examples of oils include liquid oils, hydrocarbon oils, and silicone oils. It is preferred that the compositions disclosed herein not contain silicone oils or silicones in any form (i.e., that they are silicone free). It is particularly preferred that the compositions disclosed herein be silicone free and contain no hydrocarbon oils. Thus the preferred liquid oils, and especially those of natural origin.

Suitable oils are preferably perfume oils and / or vegetable triglyceride oils, such as coconut oil, (sweet) almond oil, walnut oil, peach kernel oil, apricot kernel oil, avocado oil, tea tree oil, soybean oil, cottonseed oil, sesame oil, sunflower oil, tsubaki oil, palm oil, mango kernel oil, rice kernel oil Cranberry oil, sea buckthorn oil, meadowfoam oil, safflower oil, macadamia nut oil, grape seed oil, amaranth seed oil, argan oil, bamboo oil, olive oil, wheat germ oil, pumpkin seed oil, mallow oil, hazelnut oil, safflower oil, corn oil, olive oil, rapeseed oil, rapeseed oil, sasifera oil, rapeseed oil, vambina oil Seed oil and / or quinoa oil.

By using the hair composition according to the invention, it is possible to dispense with organosilicon compounds, in particular silicones. In the context of the present invention, “silicone-free” means that the hair composition is free from organosilicon compounds, in particular free from silicones, trisiloxanes and silicone oils.

The invention also relates to a shampoo comprising the hair composition disclosed herein.

The invention also relates to a conditioner comprising the disclosed hair composition. The conditioner is suitable for the care of human hair, especially for use after hair cleansing as a composition that can be left on the hair or can be rinsed off. The hair compositions disclosed herein can also be useful in hair treatments and hair packs.

The terms "without rinsing" and "rinsing off" mean that the composition either remains in the hair for a relatively short period of time, for example for less than a minute if necessary, or for a few minutes or an hour until it is rinsed out again, or that the composition remains in the hair until the next hair wash, which can take a few days. Both have certain advantages. If the composition remains on the hair for a long time, the full care potential of all ingredients can be exploited, while a composition to be rinsed out in a short time can also contain ingredients that have a good care effect, but which would be uncomfortable to stay in the hair for a longer period of time. For the purposes of the present invention, compositions for rinsing are preferred.

The present description also relates to a method for repairing split ends, comprising applying a hair composition according to the invention to the hair. The method involves applying the hair composition disclosed herein to the hair. The method includes dispensing the hair composition disclosed herein onto and from the user's hand onto the hair. The procedure can additionally include rubbing the hair. The method may include the user spreading the hair oil in their hand or hands prior to application to the hair.

The method disclosed herein can also include additional optional steps. In one example, such steps may include air drying the hair, drying the hair using heat, styling the hair, and any other suitable step known to those skilled in the hair treatment art.
