  • the subject of the present invention lies in the use of a microemulsion for treating textiles in the rinse cycle of an automatic washing machine as specified in claim 1.
  • This article has several advantages.
  • a very important advantage is that the alternative option of textile treatment offered to the consumer with the subject matter of the invention can be carried out in an automatic washing machine without any problems, since the use of the microemulsion is particularly characterized by the fact that the microemulsion can be extracted very easily from the dispenser commercial automatic washing machine can be flushed into the laundry room.
  • the microemulsion is very easy to spread even in cold water.
  • Another advantage of the invention is that the use of the microemulsion according to the invention has a dual benefit for the consumer.
  • the microemulsion acts as a common textile treatment agent, e.g. B. in that the laundry treated with it in the washing machine is given a softer feel.
  • the microemulsion also gives the human skin an advantage, namely in that the textiles treated with the microemulsion are beneficial for the well-being of the skin with regard to skin health, for example the risk of skin irritation as a result of the skin / treated textile contact is not additionally increased, but rather decreased, or so that already irritated or irritated or sensitized skin is not further damaged by contact with the treated textile, but rather calmed down.
  • the subject matter of the invention to the extent that the oil (s) contained in the microemulsion are at least partially transferred to the textile fibers when the treated textile fibers come into contact with human skin, at least partially from the textile to the Pass over the skin, so that the treated textile acts as a temporary host for the oils.
  • Supplying the skin with oil via this intermediate host is advantageous for the skin in the above-mentioned respect, since the oil preferably has skin-protecting and / or skin-care and / or skin-healing properties. In this way, the skin can be provided with at least a cosmetic or sensory advantage or an advantage that goes beyond this.
  • a drying out of the skin can advantageously be counteracted in this way and the flakiness of the skin can advantageously also be reduced.
  • the oil is advantageously not completely but only partially transferred to the skin.
  • the fact that the skin-healing and / or skin-protecting substance remains on the textile fiber in the sense of the invention is to be assessed as advantageous for two reasons:
  • oils preferably oils with skin-protecting and / or skin-care and / or skin-healing properties
  • the contact between fibers and bare skin is reduced, so that the skin-healing substance in the broadest sense as a fiber covering can be understood.
  • Emulsifiers are essentially lipophilic in the context of this application if they are advantageously predominantly soluble in C 12 -C 20 triglycerides or are miscible with these. Lipophilicity can arise, for example, when the emulsifiers have about hydrocarbon radicals with 6 to 22 carbon atoms or contain about aryl radicals, in order to give illustrative but non-limiting examples. Lipophilic emulsifiers essentially have a less polar, rather apolar character. Lipophilic emulsifiers in the context of this invention are lipophilic, cationic emulsifiers.
  • emulsifiers are essentially considered to be hydrophilic if they are advantageously predominantly soluble in water or miscible with it.
  • Hydrophilic emulsifiers are essentially polar in character. Hydrophilicity can arise, for example, when the emulsifier contains, for example, hydroxyl group (s), ester group (s), ether group (s) or glycerol group (s), to give illustrative but non-limiting examples.
  • Skin care essentially achieves a cosmetic benefit in terms of sensory needs e.g. B. the softness or gloss of the skin under normal conditions.
  • skin protection means everything that is necessary to maintain the normal performance of the skin with regard to its functions under specific stress situations and that goes beyond its own protective mechanisms. This also clearly distinguishes this term from skin care, because skin care only has a cosmetic benefit in terms of sensory needs, e.g. B. the softness or the gloss under normal conditions.
  • the skin protection supports the skin with additional agents that, for example, help the skin to fulfill its various functions even under adverse conditions. Such adverse conditions can e.g. B. friction, cold, heat, UV radiation, aggressive ambient fluids, contact with skin-irritating materials.
  • a skin-protecting active ingredient usually also has a skin-caring function at the same time.
  • Healthy human skin is characterized by the fact that it provides adequate protection against microorganisms, germs and pathogens by means of its intact acid mantle, that its buffer capacity and its alkali neutralization capacity are sufficient to ward off harmful influences from surrounding fluids, that there is extensive freedom from redness and that there is freedom from skin damage such as cuts, abrasions and burns, irritation, inflammation and allergies, and that it is neither cracked nor dried out.
  • healthy skin is characterized by the fact that it takes on a depot function for fat, water and blood and plays an important role in the metabolism. If the skin is not able to do the above?
  • Skin-healing in the context of the present invention is everything that helps the skin to return to its original state. Everything that stimulates, trains, supports and promotes the self-regulating powers of the skin is also skin-healing, so that it is able to fulfill its functions by returning to its natural state of equilibrium.
  • skin healing in the context of this invention is understood to mean all influences that lead to obvious skin diseases such as eczema, rashes, redness, itching, swellings, blistering, oozing, and crusts being at least alleviated in various forms, if not even cured .

  • Cationic polymers are advantageously able to further contribute to the stability of the microemulsion and at the same time they render the treated textile and skin a service by being able to attach to the textile fibers as extremely thin films during textile treatment.
  • the optical impression of the textile can thus be enhanced by giving it a silky sheen and the textile is protected from harmful environmental influences by the film.
  • the cationic polymers can be at least partially released to the skin even when the treated textile comes into contact with the skin, so that the skin is then in turn protected directly by a cationic polymer film.

It is therefore advantageous if the microemulsions to be used according to the invention contain further ingredients which are beneficial to the well-being of the skin.
  • Urea and / or its derivatives promote skin health, as they can have an antimicrobial, water-binding, itch-relieving, dandruff-relieving, skin-smoothing effect and can inhibit excessive cell growth.

  • the aforementioned moisturizing factors are beneficial because they can help regulate the moisture content of the skin. It is known that textiles, which generally have a certain absorbency, can also withdraw moisture when the textile comes into contact with the skin. Moisture can be withdrawn from the skin simply by wearing underwear that lies directly on the body or comes into contact with it. The presence of moisturizing factors in the microemulsion can now advantageously lead to at least compensating for this loss, if not to overcompensating for it.
  • the textile treated with the microemulsion in the course of a laundry treatment in an automatic washing machine which acts as an intermediate host, is used in turn by first absorbing the substances with a moisturizing function and then adding them Contact with the skin, especially if it rubs against the skin. It is particularly advantageous to supply the skin with oils or lipids as well as with moisturizing factors via the treated textile.
