Description

Field of the Invention

The invention relates to mild aqueous shaving preparations with egg content of alkyl and / or alkenyl oligoglycosides, alkyl and / or alkenyl sulfates and polyols and the use such mixtures for the preparation of the preparations.

State of the art

Conventional water-based shaving creams based on alkali soaps and glycerin show in terms of manufacturability as well as for use above normal temperature (20 ° C) significant problems. In the course of producing such Ra siercremes is usually a mixture of soda and Potassium hydroxide solution added to the melted fatty acid. This The process is referred to below as saponification. The ent standing alkaline soaps lead to gel formation, significant increase in the viscosity of the system is associated. Overcoming the high shear forces in such a solidified way mixtures is no longer with conventional stirrers possible, but requires complex equipment measures.  

Another problem lies in the fact that Shaving creams that are saponified by vegetable or tieri shear fats are produced, usually alkaline are posed, causing irritation to sensitive skin can lead.

Shaving creams are mostly sold in tubes. At the An you press some cream on a damp Ra brush and then soap the body parts to be shaved. Conventional shaving creams have the disadvantage, however, that tem temperatures above room temperature, such as in Summer or hot countries occur to cement. This A lack of deformability, for example, causes spreading no longer possible from a tube.

There has been no lack of attempts in the past, Ra Provide preparations that are more or less free of the shortcomings mentioned. From EP-B1 0070074 (Proc ter & Gamble) are, for example, foaming surfactant mixtures known, in addition to alkyl oligoglucosides anionic surfactants contain with sulfate, sulfonate or carboxylate groups. The Mixtures form stable foams and are suitable, for example wise for shaving creams. Japanese patent application JP 91/131 680 (Kao) relates to foaming compositions containing alkyl oligoglycosides and a blowing agent; on the use of this mixture in shaving foams pointed out.

In practice, however, these lessons have also been learned proven unsatisfactory in technology: alkyl oligoglu Although cosides are known to be extremely skin-friendly,  for use in soap-free shaving creams, however neither the foaming power sufficient, nor the deformability given at higher storage temperatures. By mixing Alkyl oligoglucosides with those mentioned in EP-B1 0070074 Sulfate or sulfonate surfactants, for example alkyl ether sulfate faten, alkyl benzene sulfonates and olefin sulfonates, can Foaming may be increased, the dermatological ver However, the sluggishness of the preparations decreases significantly; moreover these mixtures do not show satisfactory deformability either speed.

The object of the present invention thus has stood to entice mild, pH-neutral aqueous shaving preparations wrap, both through improved ductility speed at temperatures up to 45 ° C as well as an advantage excellent foam properties. In addition, should these preparations should be homogeneous, as well as a good consistency and have an appealing shine.

Description of the invention

The invention relates to mild aqueous shaving preparations, containing

• a) 30-70 wt .-% alkyl and / or alkenyl oligoglycosides;
• b) 10-40 wt .-% alkyl and / or alkenyl sulfates and
• c) 15% by weight of polyols with 3 to 6 carbon atoms and 2 up to 6 hydroxyl groups

- each based on the active substance content of the preparations - and, if appropriate, other customary auxiliaries and additives.

Surprisingly, it was found that the surfactants are found in the preparations according to the invention with regard to their foam assets and their skin-cosmetic tolerance synergis reinforce table. The proportion of Al according to the invention alkyl and / or alkenyl oligoglycosides, alkyl and / or alkene nyl sulfates and polyols is also achieved in that Production of shaving creams does not have an undesirably high viscosity occur and manufacturing with the help of simpler Stirrer is possible; homogenization as an additional ver work step can therefore be omitted. Beyond that achieved that the preparations are also at temperatures do not cement over 30 to 40 ° C and easily ver let shape, for example, an application from a Tube is easily possible. Finally, the fiction moderate pH-neutral, homogeneous, have a beautiful sheen and a particularly creamy consistency.

From an application point of view, shavers are ideal Preparations proved that the components a) to c) in the contain the following quantities:

• a) 50 wt .-% alkyl and / or alkenyl oligoglycosides;
• b) 10 wt .-% alkyl and / or alkenyl sulfates and
• c) 10% by weight of polyols with 3 to 6 carbon atoms and 2 up to 6 hydroxyl groups

- each based on the active substance content of the preparations. A particularly advantageous synergistic reinforcement of the  Property profile can be observed when you look at the compo nenten a) and b) in a weight ratio of 75:25 to 85: 15 begins.

Alkyl and / or alkenyl oligoglycosides

Alkyl and alkenyl oligoglycosides are known substances that according to the relevant procedures of preparative orga African chemistry can be obtained. Representative of the extensive literature is here on the fonts EP-A1 0301298 and WO 90/03977. The alkyl and / or alkene nyloligoglycosides follow the formula (I),

R¹O- (G) _p (I)

in the R¹ for alkyl and / or alkenyl radicals with 6 to 22 Koh lenstoffatomen, G for a sugar residue with 5 or 6 coals atoms and p represents numbers from 1 to 10.

The alkyl and / or alkenyl oligoglycosides can differ from Al cans or ketoses with 5 or 6 carbon atoms, preferred way to derive the glucose. The preferred alkyl and / or Alkenyl oligoglycosides are thus alkyl and / or alkenyl olives goglucoside.

The index number p in the general formula (I) gives the oli Degree of gomerization (DP degree), d. H. the distribution of mono- and oligoglycosides and stands for a number between 1 and 10. Whilst p is always an integer in a given connection must be and assume here the values p = 1 to 6  is the value p for a particular alkyl oligoglycoside an analytically calculated quantity, most of the time represents a fractional number. Preferably alkyl and / or alkenyl oligoglycosides with a medium oligo Degree of merit p used from 1.1 to 3.0. From use From an nutritional point of view, such alkyl and / or alkenyl oligoglycosides preferred, their degree of oligomerization is smaller is 1.7 and is in particular between 1.2 and 1.4.

The alkyl or alkenyl radical R 1 can be derived from primary alcohols having 6 to 11, preferably 8 to 10, carbon atoms. Typical examples are butanol, capronalcohol, caprylic alcohol, capric alcohol and undecyl alcohol and their technical mixtures, such as those obtained, for example, in the hydrogenation of technical fatty acid methyl esters or in the course of the hydrogenation of aldehydes from Roelen's oxo synthesis. Alkyl oligoglucosides of the chain length C₈-C₁₀ (DP = 1 to 3) are preferred, which occur as a preliminary in the distillative separation of technical C₈-C₁₈ coconut oil alcohol and can be contaminated with a proportion of less than 6% by weight of C₁₂ alcohol and alkyl oligoglucosides based on technical C _9/11 oxo alcohols (DP = 1 to 3).
