Description

"Compact Hairspray"

The invention relates to a preparation for the treatment of keratinic fibers, in particular human hair in the form of a spray and the use of this preparation for the treatment of keratinous fibers, in particular human hair.

Keratinic fibers, especially human hair, are now undergoing a variety of treatments. The treatments, which serve for a permanent or temporary shaping of the hair, play an important role. Temporary shapes that should give a good hold, without affecting the healthy appearance of the hair, such as their gloss, can be achieved for example by hair sprays, hair waxes, hair drier, etc.

Hairsprays usually contain synthetic polymers as a shaping component. Preparations containing a dissolved or dispersed polymer can be applied to the hair by means of propellant gases or by a pumping mechanism.

An attractive-looking hairstyle is now generally considered an indispensable part of a well-groomed appearance. Due to current fashion trends, hairstyles are always considered to be chic, which in many hair types can only be built up using firming agents or can be maintained for a longer period of time up to several days. Hair treatment products that give the hair more volume and support are known. The cosmetic polymers commonly used for these purposes show in aqueous, aqueous-alcoholic or alcoholic solutions good Festigungseigenschaften that deform and strengthen the hair more or less well after the application and the hair can also give more volume. Often, this effect does not last long and already combing the hair, the desired volume effect is partially lost again. Many of the setting or bulking polymers often have undesirable side effects that are felt by the treated hair being too rough to handle, too much stress or insufficient elasticity, or too much visible residue on the hair. Also, an insufficient leachability after the application of these hair treatment agents may be a problem.

The setting active ingredients, which are usually polymeric compounds, can be incorporated into conventional hair cleansing or conditioning agents. In many cases, however, it is advantageous to apply them in the form of special agents such as hair fixatives, hair gels, hair waxes or hair sprays.

Polymeric compounds are used in cosmetics many times and with increasing importance. They have many functions and effects, often they are themselves multifunctional and show in a single structure several desired effects for the cosmetic product in question. So can be adjusted specifically to the desired rheological properties with polymers cosmetic agents. For example, they can bind water and thereby build up viscosity. At the same time, bound water in cosmetic products also means a reduction in water activity, which may be important for the contamination of the agent concerned. If the activity of the free water is too low, no germs can dissolve and develop in it. The agent in question then does not have to be preserved at all or at least much less. multifunctional means in this context that the use of a polymeric raw material in a composition fulfills several functions simultaneously.

There have been many efforts to further develop and optimize the hair fixative. For example, in the past, aqueous-based agents have replaced volatile organic compound-based agents. The problem was the lower volatility of water compared to the alcohols, which is reflected in longer drying times on the hair. Furthermore, due to the often poorer solubility of polymeric compounds in aqueous systems, this change is also often associated with the disadvantage that when applying the desired amount of polymer to the hair water inevitably passes in such quantities on the hair that the drying times are unacceptably long. These problems also result in large variations in the dosage of the agent by the consumer. Another consumer demand for an ecological alternative to hair care products with a firming effect in the form of foams or sprays is also met with agents based on predominantly water as a solvent in insufficient extent.

WO 96/19971 discloses terpolymers of vinylpyrrolidone, vinylcaprolactam and 3- (N-dimethylaminopropyl) methacrylamide and their use in hair-setting compositions, in particular in aerosol sprays and pump sprays. These polymers are particularly suitable for use in water-containing spray formulations with a reduced content of volatile organic compounds (low VOC sprays). The polymers have good setting properties but give the hair a relatively rough feel and a relatively high load.

WO 96/19967 discloses copolymers of vinylpyrrolidone and 3- (N-dimethylaminopropyl) methacrylamide and their use in hair-setting compositions, in particular in aerosol sprays and pump sprays. These Polymers are particularly suitable for use in water-containing spray formulations with a reduced content of volatile organic compounds (low VOC sprays). The polymers have good setting properties but give the hair a relatively rough feel and a relatively high load. In addition, the hair-setting effect is short-lived.

WO 96/19966 discloses terpolymers of vinylpyrrolidone, 3-methacrylamidopropyltrimethylammonium chloride and C 4 -C 32 -alkyl methacrylate and their use in hair-setting compositions, in particular in aerosol sprays and pump sprays. These polymers are particularly suitable for use in water-containing spray formulations with a reduced content of volatile organic compounds (low VOC sprays). The polymers have good setting properties but give the hair a relatively rough feel and a relatively high load. In addition, the hair-setting effect is short-lived.

EP 1 075 832 discloses terpolymers of vinylpyrrolidone, vinylcaprolactam and 3- (N-dimethylaminopropyl) methacrylamide and their use in hair-setting compositions, in particular in aerosol sprays and pump sprays. These polymers are particularly suitable for use in water-containing spray formulations with a reduced content of volatile organic compounds (low VOC sprays). The polymers have good firming properties but give the hair a relatively rough feel. In the application of these compositions, in particular the softness of the hair, the gloss and the difficult combing of the hair is perceived as disadvantageous.

EP 0 074 191 discloses terpolymers of vinylpyrrolidone, vinylcaprolactam and dialkyldiaminomethacrylates and their use in hair-setting compositions, in particular in aerosol sprays and pump sprays. These polymers are particularly suitable for use in water-containing spray formulations with a reduced content of volatile organic compounds (low VOC sprays). The polymers have good firming properties, but lend the hair a relatively rough grip and a relatively high load.

Firming hair treatment products are used quite a few times a day. The corresponding hair treatment agent is often carried by the consumer always at hand. However, the large volume of common aerosol cans is a big disadvantage. Although the aerosol cans could be reduced in volume, for example to 100 ml or 50 ml cans, the contents would be sufficient only for a few applications. This is unacceptable to the consumer and also increases the amount of waste. A remedy could be here to create highly concentrated, at least twice to five times as concentrated, hairspray formulations based on the content of setting polymers.

EP 0 674 899 B1 discloses deodorants in the form of aerosols which, for environmental reasons, are packed in containers as small as possible. In order to obtain the spray rate in a concentrated deodorant spray so that not too much product is discharged, the formulations were thickened. Polymers are used to formulate hair conditioning agents. Now, when these polymers are concentrated, the formulation becomes significantly more viscous. This in turn leads to sticking and blockages of the valve. In addition, too much product is discharged, so that in addition due to the high amount of product on the hair further disadvantages, such as extreme stickiness, arise. If, conversely, the outlet opening of the valve is correspondingly reduced, bonding and clogging of the valve are even more likely.

US Pat. No. 5,068,099 describes strengthening hair treatment compositions which on spraying only have an average droplet size of approximately 60 μm. However, the spray rate is significantly increased compared to conventional hair sprays. In addition, in these formulations, the water content is limited to at most 10% by weight. The problem of bonding the valves will continue to exist. Furthermore, the excessively high product delivery also leads to adhesions on the hair. There is no uniform consolidation achieved. On the other hand, the low water content means a high content of volatile organic compounds. In modern formulations that are customary today, however, the water content is up to 45% by weight.

It is therefore still the task of developing appropriate highly concentrated agents, with respect to the performance properties, such as the long-lasting hold of the hairstyle, especially a long-lasting (up to days) high volume, the abundance, easy combing of wet and dry hair Shapes of the hairstyles, especially in the area of the hair tips, the gloss, the velvety, supple handle of the hair, the possibility of shaping hairstyles and a short drying time in setting hair care products as well as the flexibility of the formed hairstyle and the washability of the compositions the expectations set by the consumer fulfill. In addition, the consumer wants a small package that can be conveniently transported and is thus widely available. Despite the desired small packaging, however, the content should be sufficient for numerous applications and should meet or exceed the number of applications of a commercially available hair spray.

It has now been found that the object is achieved by a firming hair treatment agent which is composed of:

(A) at least 3.0% by weight of at least one film-forming and / or setting polymer,

(B) at least 10.0% by weight of a protic solvent and

(C) 0 to 98 wt.% Of a blowing agent, characterized in that the average droplet size of this composition is less than 40 microns when spraying. The film-forming and / or setting polymer (A) is preferably present in the composition according to the invention in an amount of from 3.0 to 40% by weight, more preferably from 3.0 to 30% by weight, most preferably in an amount of from 3.0 to 20 wt%, and most preferably in an amount of 5.0 to 10 wt%. Of course, several film-forming and / or setting polymers may also be present in the composition according to the invention. These film-forming and / or setting polymers may be both permanent and temporary cationic, anionic, nonionic or amphoteric. Furthermore, the present invention also encompasses the recognition that, when using at least two film-forming and / or setting polymers, these can of course have different charges. According to the invention, preferably an ionic film-forming and / or setting polymer is used in common with an amphoteric and / or nonionic film-forming and / or setting polymer. The use of at least two oppositely charged film-forming and / or setting polymers is also preferred. In the latter case, a particular embodiment may in turn additionally contain at least one further amphoteric and / or nonionic film-forming and / or setting polymer.

Since polymers are often multifunctional, their functions can not always be clearly and clearly distinguished from each other. This applies in particular to film-forming and setting polymers. Nevertheless, some film-forming polymers will be described by way of example. However, it is explicitly stated at this point that both film-forming and fixing polymers are essential in the context of the present invention. Since both properties are not completely independent of each other, the term "setting polymers" always "film-forming polymers" understood and vice versa.

Among the preferred properties of the film-forming polymers is the film formation. By film-forming polymers are meant those polymers which, when dried, form a continuous film on the skin, the hair or leave the nails. Such film formers can be used in a wide variety of cosmetic products, such as for example face masks, make-up, hair fixatives, hair sprays, hair gels, hair waxes, hair treatments, shampoos or nail varnishes. Particular preference is given to those polymers which have sufficient solubility in alcohol or water / alcohol mixtures in order to be present in completely completely dissolved form in the agent according to the invention. The film-forming polymers may be of synthetic or natural origin.

According to the invention, film-forming polymers are also understood to mean those polymers which, when used in 0.01 to 20% strength aqueous, alcoholic or aqueous-alcoholic solution, are capable of depositing a transparent polymer film on the hair. The film-forming polymers may be anionic, amphoteric, nonionic, permanent cationic or temporarily cationically charged.

Suitable synthetic, film-forming, hair-setting polymers are homopolymers or copolymers made up of at least one of the following monomers: vinylpyrrolidone, vinylcaprolactam, vinyl esters, e.g. Vinyl acetate, vinyl alcohol, acrylamide, methacrylamide, alkyl and dialkylacrylamide, alkyl and dialkylmethacrylamide, alkyl acrylate, alkyl methacrylate, propylene glycol or ethylene glycol, wherein the alkyl groups of these monomers are preferably C1 to C7 alkyl groups, particularly preferably C1 to C3 alkyl groups.

Suitable examples are homopolymers of vinylcaprolactam, vinylpyrrolidone or N-vinylformamide. Further suitable synthetic film-forming, hair-fixing polymers are copolymers of vinyl pyrrolidone and vinyl acetate, terpolymers of vinylpyrrolidone, vinyl acetate and vinyl propionate, polyacrylamides, for example, under the trade designations Akypomine ^® P 191 by the company CHEM-Y, Emmerich or Sepigel ^® 305 by the company Seppic be distributed; Polyvinyl alcohols, for example, under the trade names Elvanol ^® by Du Pont or Vinol ^® 523/540 of the Company Air Products are distributed as well

Polyethylene glycol / polypropylene glycol copolymers, for example, sold under the trade names Ucon® Union Carbide. Particularly preferred are polyvinylpyrrolidone and polyvinylpyrrolidone / vinyl acetate copolymers.

Suitable natural film-forming polymers include cellulose derivatives, eg. B. hydroxypropyl cellulose having a molecular weight of 30,000 to 50,000 g / mol, which is sold for example under the trade name Nisso Sl ^® by Lehmann & Voss, Hamburg.

Firming polymers contribute to the maintenance and / or build-up of the hair volume, the hair fullness of the overall hairstyle. These so-called setting polymers are at the same time film-forming polymers and therefore generally typical substances for hair treatment agents such as hair fixatives, hair foams, hair waxes, hair sprays. The film formation can be quite selective and connect only a few fibers.

Substances which further impart hydrophobic properties to the hair are preferred because they reduce the tendency of the hair to absorb moisture, that is, water. As a result, the limp drooping of the strands of hair is reduced and thus a long-lasting hairstyle structure and preservation is guaranteed. The test method for this is often the so-called curl retention test applied. These polymeric substances can also be successfully incorporated into leave-on and rinse-off hair treatments or shampoos. Since polymers are often multifunctional, that is, show several applications-wise desirable effects, numerous polymers can be found in several groups on the mode of action, as well as in the CTFA Handbook. Because of the importance of polymers in particular, they should therefore be listed explicitly in the form of their INCI names. In this list of very particularly preferably used according to the invention Of course, polymers can also be found again, especially the cationic polymers.

Preference is given to those polymers which have a sufficient solubility in water or alcohol in order to be present in completely completely dissolved form in the agent according to the invention. The cationic charge density is preferably 1 to 7 meq / g. Cationic polymers are to be understood as meaning polymers which have a group in the main and / or side chain which may be "temporary" or "permanent" cationic. According to the invention, "permanently cationic" refers to those polymers which have a cationic group independently of the pH of the agent These are generally polymers which contain a quaternary nitrogen atom, for example in the form of an ammonium group Preferred cationic groups are quaternary ammonium groups In particular, those polymers in which the quaternary ammonium group is bonded via a C 1-4 hydrocarbon group to a polymer main chain constructed from acrylic acid, methacrylic acid or derivatives thereof have proven to be particularly suitable.

Further suitable cationic polymers are the so-called "temporary cationic" polymers, which usually contain an amino group which, at certain pH values, is present as a quaternary ammonium group and thus cationically.

Furthermore, amphoteric polymers can be used as polymers. The term amphoteric polymers includes both those polymers which contain in the molecule both free amino groups and free -COOH or SO ₃ H groups and are capable of forming internal salts, as well as zwitterionic polymers which in the molecule have quaternary ammonium groups and -COO ^"

or -SOβ ^' groups, and those polymers comprising - COOH or SO ₃ H groups and quaternary ammonium groups.

An example of the present invention amphopolymer suitable is that available under the name Amphomer ^® acrylic resin which is a copolymer of tert-butylaminoethyl methacrylate, N- (1, 1, 3,3-tetramethylbutyl) acrylamide, and represents two or more monomers from the group of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and their simple esters.

Acrylic acid is preferably used as monomer (b) for the stated polymers.

Finally, the composition according to the invention can be specifically influenced in particular on the setting, avivating and antistatic effect if anionic polymers are also formulated. The anionic polymers are, inter alia, anionic polymers which contain carboxylate and / or sulfonate groups. Examples of anionic monomers from which such polymers may consist are acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, crotonic acid, maleic anhydride and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid. The acidic groups may be wholly or partially present as sodium, potassium, ammonium, mono- or triethanolammonium salt. Preferred monomers are 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid and acrylic acid.

Anionic polymers which contain 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid as the sole or co-monomer can be found to be particularly effective, it being possible for all or some of the sulfonic acid group to be present as sodium, potassium, ammonium, mono- or triethanolammonium salt ,

This is particularly preferred. Homopolymer of 2-acrylamido-2, which is available, for example, by the name Rheothik ^® 11-80 commercially.

Within this embodiment, it may be preferable to use copolymers of at least one anionic monomer and at least one nonionic monomer. With regard to the anionic monomers, reference is made to the substances listed above. Preferred nonionic monomers are Acrylamide, methacrylamide, acrylic ester, methacrylic ester,

Vinyl pyrrolidone, vinyl ethers and vinyl esters.

Preferred anionic copolymers are acrylic acid-acrylamide copolymers and in particular polyacrylamide copolymers with sulfonic acid-containing monomers. A particularly preferred anionic copolymer consists of 70 to 55 mol% of acrylamide and 30 to 45 mol% of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, wherein the sulfonic acid group is wholly or partly in the form of sodium, potassium, ammonium, mono- or triethanolammonium Salt is present. This copolymer may also be crosslinked, with crosslinking agents preferably polyolefinically unsaturated compounds such as tetraallyloxyethane, allylsucrose, allylpentaerythritol and methylene-bisacrylamide are used. Such a polymer is contained in the commercial product Sepigel ^® 305 from SEPPIC. The use of this compound, which in addition to the polymer component contains a hydrocarbon mixture (Ci ₃ -C ₄ isoparaffin) and a nonionic emulsifier (laureth-7), has proved to be particularly advantageous in the context of the teaching of the invention.

Also sold under the name Simulgel ^® 600 as a compound with isohexadecane and polysorbate-80 Natriumacryloyldimethyltaurat copolymers have proved to be particularly effective according to the invention.

Likewise preferred anionic homopolymers are uncrosslinked and crosslinked polyacrylic acids. Allyl ethers of pentaerythritol, sucrose and propylene may be preferred crosslinking agents. Such compounds are for example available under the trademark Carbopol ^® commercially.

Copolymers of maleic anhydride and methyl vinyl ether, especially those with crosslinks, are also color-retaining polymers. A cross-linked with 1, 9-Decadiene-methyl vinyl ether maleic acid copolymer is available under the name ^® Stabileze QM. Further suitable anionic polymers according to the invention include:

Another very particularly preferred group of polymers are polyurethanes. The polyurethanes consist of at least two different monomer types, a compound (V1) with at least 2 active hydrogen atoms per

Molecule and - a di- or polyisocyanate (V2).

The compounds (V1) may be, for example, diols, triols, diamines, triamines, polyetherols and polyesterols. The compounds having more than 2 active hydrogen atoms are usually used only in small amounts in combination with a large excess of compounds having 2 active hydrogen atoms.

Examples of compounds (V1) are ethylene glycol, 1, 2 and 1, 3-propylene glycol, butylene glycols, di-, tri-, tetra- and poly-ethylene and -Propylenglykole, copolymers of lower alkylene oxides such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and butylene oxide, Ethylenediamine, propylenediamine, 1,4-diaminobutane, Hexamethylenediamine and α, ω-diamines based on long-chain alkanes or polyalkylene oxides.

In particular, polyethylene glycols and polypropylene glycols having molecular weights between 200 and 3000, in particular between 1600 and 2500, have proven to be particularly suitable in individual cases.

Polyesterols are usually obtained by modifying the compound (V1) with dicarboxylic acids such as phthalic acid, isophthalic acid and adipic acid.

The compounds (V2) used are predominantly hexamethylene diisocyanate, 2,4- and 2,6-toluene diisocyanate, 4,4'-methylene di (phenyl isocyanate) and in particular isophorone diisocyanate.

Furthermore, the polyurethanes used according to the invention may also contain building blocks such as, for example, diamines as chain extenders and hydroxycarboxylic acids. Dialkylolecarboxylic acids such as, for example, dimethylolpropionic acid are particularly suitable hydroxycarboxylic acids. With regard to the further building blocks, there is no fundamental restriction as to whether they are nonionic, anionic or cationic building blocks.

For further information on the structure and preparation of the polyurethanes, reference is expressly made to the articles in the relevant review articles, such as Römpps Chemie-Lexikon and Ulimanns Enzyklopädie der technischen Chemie.

- Only aliphatic groups in the molecule

- no free isocyanate groups in the molecule - Polyether and polyester polyurethanes

- anionic groups in the molecule.

It has also proved advantageous in some cases when the polyurethane is not dissolved in the system but is stably dispersed.

Furthermore, it has proved advantageous for the preparation of the compositions according to the invention if the polyurethanes were not mixed directly with the other components but were introduced in the form of aqueous dispersions. Such dispersions usually have a solids content of about 20-50%, in particular about 35-45%, and are also available commercially.

An inventively particularly preferred polyurethane is available under the trade name Luviset.RTM ^® PUR (BASF).

In a further embodiment, the agents according to the invention may contain nonionogenic polymers.

Suitable nonionic polymers are, for example:

- polyvinylpyrrolidones, as, for example, sold under the name Luviskol ^® (BASF).

- siloxanes. These siloxanes can be both water-soluble and water-insoluble. Suitable are both volatile and nonvolatile siloxanes, ¹ being understood as nonvolatile siloxanes such compounds whose boiling point is above atmospheric pressure above 200 ⁰ C. Preferred siloxanes are polydialkylsiloxanes, such as, for example, polydimethylsiloxane, polyalkylarylsiloxanes, for example polyphenylmethylsiloxane, ethoxylated polydialkylsiloxanes and polydialkylsiloxanes which contain amine and / or hydroxyl groups. - Glycosidically substituted silicones according to EP 0612759 B1.

It is also possible according to the invention that the preparations used contain a plurality of, in particular two, different polymers of the same charge and / or in each case one ionic and one amphoteric and / or nonionic polymer.

Other preferred polymers are all polymers in the "International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary and Handbook" (seventh edition 1997, The Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association 1101 17 ^th Street, NW, Suite 300, Washington, DC 20036-4702) as polymers in any of the chapters on polymers such as "film formers" or "hair fixatives" and are commercially available, reference is made to this document and the sections cited therefrom.

The composition according to the invention is preferably formulated in an aqueous, an alcoholic or in an aqueous-alcoholic medium with preferably at least 8, particularly preferably at least 10 percent by weight of water. As alcohols, it is possible in particular to include the lower alcohols having 1 to 4 carbon atoms usually used for cosmetic purposes, such as, for example, ethanol and isopropanol. The agent according to the invention can be present in a pH range from 2 to 11. Particularly preferred is the pH range between 2 and 8.

As additional co-solvents may be organic solvents or a mixture of solvents having a boiling point below 400 ⁰ C in an amount from 0.1 to 15 percent by weight, preferably from 1 to 10 percent by weight. Particularly suitable as additional co-solvents are unbranched or branched hydrocarbons such as pentane, hexane, isopentane and cyclic hydrocarbons such as cyclopentane and cyclohexane. Further, particularly preferred water-soluble solvents are glycerol, ethylene glycol and propylene glycol in an amount of up to 30 percent by weight.

As a further component, the preparations according to the invention are preferably a blowing agent.

To use the compositions of the invention as aerosol sprays propellants must be used. The inventively preferred blowing agents are selected from the hydrocarbons having 3 to 5 carbon atoms, such as propane, n-butane, isobutane, n-pentane and iso-pentane, dimethyl ether, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, fluorocarbons and chlorofluorocarbons and mixtures of these substances. Very particularly preferred propellants are propane, butane, isobutane, pentane, isopentane, dimethyl ether and the mixtures of these aforementioned propellant gases in each case with each other. According to the invention most preferred propellants are dimethyl ether, hydrocarbons and mixtures thereof. Within the group of hydrocarbons preferred propellants are n-butane and propane.

Advantageously, the blowing agent is selected so that it can simultaneously serve as a solvent for other ingredients such as oil and wax components, the fatty substances (D). The propellant can then serve as a solvent for these latter components, if they are soluble at 20 ° C to at least 0.5 wt .-%, based on the propellant in this.

According to a preferred embodiment, the preparations according to the invention contain the said hydrocarbons, dimethyl ethers or mixtures of said hydrocarbons with dimethyl ether as the only one Propellant. However, the invention expressly also includes the concomitant use of propellant of the type of chlorofluorocarbons, but especially the fluorocarbons.

The propellant gases are preferably in amounts of 5 to 98% by weight, preferably 10 to 98% by weight and more preferably 20 to 98% by weight, very particularly preferably 40 to 80% by weight, in each case based on the total aerosol composition included.

The compositions of the invention may be packaged in commercial aerosol cans. The cans can be tinplate or aluminum. Furthermore, the cans can be internally coated to minimize the risk of corrosion.

Of course, when the compositions of the present invention are used as a non-aerosol spray application, no propellant gas is included. However, the spray heads must always be selected according to the required spray rates.

The cans are equipped with a suitable spray head. Depending on the spray head, discharge rates based on fully filled cans of 0.1 g / s to 5.0 g / s are possible. The spray rate is determined so that a filled with propellant gas and the corresponding composition and sealed with the relevant valve aerosol can at room temperature (about 23 ⁰ C) is first weighed. The can, including its contents, is shaken vigorously by hand ten times, so that the contents mix well. Then the valve of the vertical can is actuated for 10 seconds. Thereafter, weigh again. The process is carried out 5 times in succession and the statistical mean is formed from the results. The difference between the two weighings is the spray rate per 10 seconds. This can be determined by simply dividing the spray rate per second. In the case of non-aerosols, the spraying mechanism is actuated 10 times. Under the spray rate in the latter case is the average understood quantity applied per spray (pump surge). Spray rates of 0.1 to 0.5 g / s are preferred. Spray rates of 0.1 to 0.4 g / s are particularly preferred.

Another characteristic influence on the efficiency and formability as a compact spray is the spray pattern. The spray pattern is decisively influenced by the valve and its nature. If, for example, in a hair spray formulation, the film former is increased up to five times compared to a conventional formulation, the spraying rate already discussed and to be avoided are, in addition to the increased viscosities of the formulation to be taken into account and to be avoided, essential features to be considered for the formulation. In addition, however, in particular the spray pattern, that is, the opening cone of the valve, and the droplet size must be observed. If the opening cone has too large an opening angle, then the product is applied to a too small hair surface at a usual distance of the spray can from the user's head of about 10 to 40 cm. This leads to a change in the effectiveness of the composition. There occur either sticking due to excessive amounts of product or too low a strengthening effect by a too small amount of applied product. In the latter case, the opening cone is too large, so that a too large hair surface with the. Composition is treated. It has now been found that the opening cone must ideally be between 25 ° and 65 °. An angle of 30 ° to 60 ° is preferred. Very particular preference is given to opening cones between 35 ° and 50 °.

The hair treatment compositions according to the invention are characterized in particular by the fact that the average droplet size during spraying is less than 40 μm. Preferably, the mean particle size is less than 38 microns. Surprisingly, it has been found that the hair treatment compositions according to the invention can be sprayed reliably despite the high proportion of film-forming and / or setting polymer, if a corresponding small mean droplet size is present. Due to the high concentration of active ingredient and the small droplet size during spraying ensures that an aerosol can containing the hair treatment agent, when compared to conventional hair sprays unchanged handling by the consumer removed a smaller amount of the agent, but the same firming effect is achieved.

The mean droplet size is determined using a Masterizer, Series 2600 Droplet and Particle Size Analyzer, Malvern Laser Diffractometer. For this purpose, the sample is sprayed at a defined distance through the light beam of the laser and determined on the basis of the laser diffraction particle size distribution.

The viscosity of the formulation to be sprayed can also show an influence, depending on the concentration of the film-forming polymers. At the same time, however, valves are also known with the aid of which even gels can be sprayed. However, it may be preferred according to the invention if the viscosities of the formulations are less than 5000 mPas measured according to Brookfield with spindle 3 at 20 rpm and 25 ⁰ C. The viscosities of the formulations are measured before the addition of propellant gas. It may be particularly preferred if the viscosities are less than 2500 mPas and very particularly preferably less than 1000 mPas.

Finally, the problem of sticking the valves in addition to the targeted selection of the film-forming polymers can also be positively influenced by a corresponding careful processing, material selection and / or pretreatment of the valves. It is essential that all parts of the valve that come into contact with the composition have as smooth a surface as possible. The smoother the surface, the less the composition can adhere to it by adhesion. Thus, a bonding of the nozzle is counteracted. The achievement of particularly smooth surfaces are known in the art, for example by a Design of the surface in the form of nanoparticles to achieve a lotus blossom effect or a polishing of the surfaces such as an electropolishing.

When applying the composition according to the invention, the hair is to be shaped into a specific hairstyle. For this it may be necessary to positively influence the hair structure and hair condition. For example, it may be advantageous if the Kämmwiderstände are low during the construction of the hairstyle. Furthermore, the hairstyle formed should show a certain luster or colorful shimmering effects. The hair should cause a vital impression in a hot condition. It is therefore preferred to incorporate personal care substances into the composition according to the invention.

Suitable compounds according to the present invention as hair-care compounds are described in more detail below.

Sugar surfactants of the alkyl and alkenyl oligoglycoside type of formula (E4-III),

R ⁴ O- [G] _P (E4-III) in which R ^{4 is} an alkyl or alkenyl radical having 4 to 22 carbon atoms, G is a sugar radical having 5 or 6 carbon atoms and p is a number from 1 to 10. They can be obtained by the relevant methods of preparative organic chemistry. Representative of the extensive literature is here on the review by Biermann et al. in Starch / Stärke 45, 281 (1993), B. Salka in Cosm.Toil. 108, 89 (1993) and J. Kahre et al. in SÖFW Journal Heft 8, 598 (1995). The alkyl and alkenyl oligoglycosides can be derived from aldoses or ketoses with 5 or 6 carbon atoms, preferably glucose. The preferred alkyl and / or alkenyl oligoglycosides are thus alkyl and / or alkenyl oligoglucosides. The index number p in the general formula (E4-III) indicates the degree of oligomerization (DP), ie the distribution of mono- and OH-goglycosides and stands for a number between 1 and 10. While p in the individual molecule must always be integer and Here, especially the values p = 1 to 6 can assume, the value p for a certain alkyloligoglycoside is an analytically determined arithmetical variable, which usually represents a fractional number. Preference is given to using alkyl and / or alkenyl oligoglycosides having an average degree of oligomerization p of from 1.1 to 3.0. From the point of view of application, those alkyl and / or alkenylolgoglycosides whose degree of oligomerization is less than 1.7 and in particular between 1.2 and 1.4 are preferred. The alkyl or alkenyl radical R ⁴ can be derived from primary alcohols having 4 to 11, preferably 8 to 10 carbon atoms. Typical examples are butanol, caproic alcohol, caprylic alcohol, capric alcohol and undecyl alcohol and the technical mixtures thereof, as obtained, for example, in the hydrogenation of technical fatty acid methyl esters or in the hydrogenation of aldehydes from Roelen's oxosynthesis. Preferred are Alkyloli- oligoglucosides of chain length C ₈ -C ₀ (DP = 1 to 3), which are obtained as first runnings in the separation of technical CsC-is-coconut fatty alcohol with a content of less than 6 wt .-% C ₁₂ Alcohol can be contaminated and alkyl oligoglucosides based on technical Cg _/ n-oxo alcohols (DP = 1 to 3). The alkyl or alkenyl radical R ¹⁵ can also be derived from may be derived alcohols having 12 to 22, preferably 12 to 14 carbon atoms. Typical examples are lauryl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, palmoleyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, isostearyl alcohol, oleyl alcohol, elaidyl alcohol, petroselinyl alcohol, arachyl alcohol, gadoleyl alcohol, behenyl alcohol, erucyl alcohol, brassidyl alcohol, and technical mixtures thereof which can be obtained as described above. Alkyl oligoglucosides based on hydrogenated _{C12 /} i ₄ coconut alcohol with a DP of 1 to 3

Sugar surfactants of the type. the fatty acid N-alkylpolyhydroxyalkylamide, a nonionic surfactant of the formula (E4-IV),

R ⁵ CO-NR ⁶ - [Z] (E4-IV)

R ^{5 is} CO for an aliphatic acyl radical having 6 to 22 carbon atoms, R ^{6 is} hydrogen, an alkyl or hydroxyalkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms and [Z] is a linear or branched polyhydroxyalkyl radical having 3 to 12 carbon atoms and 3 to 10 hydroxyl groups stands. The fatty acid N-alkylpolyhydroxyalkylamides are known substances which can usually be obtained by reductive amination of a reducing sugar with ammonia, an alkylamine or an alkanolamine and subsequent acylation with a fatty acid, a fatty acid alkyl ester or a fatty acid chloride. With regard to the processes for their preparation, reference is made to US Pat. Nos. 1,985,424, 2,016,962 and 2,703,798, and International Patent Application WO 92/06984. An overview of this topic by H. Kelkenberg can be found in Tens. Surf. Det. 25, 8 (1988). Preferably, the fatty acid N-alkylpolyhydroxyalkylamides are derived from reducing sugars having 5 or 6 carbon atoms, especially glucose. The preferred fatty acid N-alkylpolyhydroxyalkylamides are therefore fatty acid N-alkylglucamides, as represented by the formula (E4-V): R ⁷ CO-NR ⁸ -CH ₂ - (CH-OH) ₄ -CH ₂ OH (E4-V)

The fatty acid N-alkylpolyhydroxyalkylamides used are preferably glucamides of the formula (E4-V) in which R ^{8 is} hydrogen or an alkyl group and R ⁷ CO is the acyl radical of caproic acid, caprylic acid, capric acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, palmitic acid, Stearic acid, isostearic acid, oleic acid, elaidic acid, petroselic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, arachidic acid, gadoleic acid, behenic acid or erucic acid or their technical mixtures. Particular preference is given to fatty acid N-alkylglucamides of the formula (E4-V) which are obtained by reductive amination of glucose with methylamine and subsequent acylation with lauric acid or C 12/14 coconut fatty acid or a corresponding derivative. Furthermore, the polyhydroxyalkylamides can also be derived from maltose and palatinose.

As preferred nonionic surfactants, the alkylene oxide addition products to saturated linear fatty alcohols and fatty acids having in each case 2 to 30 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of fatty alcohol or fatty acid have been found. Preparations having excellent properties are also obtained if they contain fatty acid esters of ethoxylated glycerol as nonionic surfactants.

These connections are identified by the following parameters. The alkyl radical R contains 6 to 22 carbon atoms and may be both linear and branched. Preference is given to primary linear and methyl-branched in the 2-position aliphatic radicals. Such alkyl radicals are, for example, 1-octyl, 1-decyl, 1-lauryl, 1-myristyl, 1-cetyl and 1-stearyl. Particularly preferred are 1-octyl, 1-decyl, 1-lauryl, 1-myristyl. When using so-called "oxo alcohols" as starting materials, compounds with an odd number of carbon atoms in the alkyl chain predominate.

Furthermore, very particularly preferred nonionic surfactants are the sugar surfactants. These can be used in the compositions used according to the invention preferably in amounts of 0.1 to 20 wt .-%, based on the total agent to be included. Amounts of 0.5-15% by weight are preferred, and most preferred are amounts of 0.5-7.5% by weight.

Very particularly preferred nonionic surfactants are the pyrrolidone derivatives.

The compounds used as surfactant with alkyl groups may each be uniform substances. However, it is generally preferred to use native vegetable or animal raw materials in the production of these substances, so that substance mixtures having different alkyl chain lengths depending on the respective raw material are obtained.

In the case of the surfactants which are adducts of ethylene oxide and / or propylene oxide with fatty alcohols or derivatives of these addition products, both products with a "normal" homolog distribution and those with a narrow homolog distribution can be used. By "normal" homolog distribution are meant mixtures of homologues which are obtained as catalysts in the reaction of fatty alcohol and alkylene oxide using alkali metals, alkali metal hydroxides or alkali metal alcoholates. Narrowed homolog distributions are obtained when, for example, hydrotalcites, alkaline earth metal salts of ether carboxylic acids, alkaline earth metal oxides, hydroxides or alkoxides are used as catalysts. The use of products with narrow homolog distribution may be preferred.

The surfactants (E) are used in amounts of 0.1-45% by weight, preferably 0.1-30% by weight and very particularly preferably 0.1-20% by weight, based on the total agent used according to the invention ,

Very particular preference is given to using cationic surfactants (E5) according to the invention. Typical examples of cationic surfactants are, in particular, tetraalkylammonium compounds, amidoamines or else esterquats. Preferred quaternary ammonium compounds are ammonium halides, in particular chlorides and bromides, such as alkyltrimethylammonium chlorides, dialkyldimethylammonium chlorides and trialkylmethylammonium chlorides, for example cetyltrimethylammonium chloride, stearyltrimethylammonium chloride, distearyldimethylammonium chloride, lauryldimethylammonium chloride, lauryldimethylbenzylammonium chloride, triethylmethylammonium chloride, hydroxyethyl hydroxycetyl dimmonium chlorides and those listed under the INCI names Quatemium-27 and Quaternium-83 known imidazolium compounds. The long alkyl chains of the above-mentioned surfactants preferably have 10 to 18 carbon atoms.

Esterquats are known substances which contain both at least one ester function and at least one quaternary ammonium group as a structural element.

These are, for example, quaternized fatty acid triethanolamine ester salts of the formula (E5-I),

Typical examples of esterquats which can be used in the context of the invention are products based on caproic acid, caprylic acid, capric acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, isostearic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, elaidic acid, arachic acid, behenic acid and erucic acid, and technical mixtures thereof , as They occur, for example, in the pressure splitting of natural fats and oils. Preference is given to using technical C _12/18 coconut _fatty acids and, in particular, partially hardened d 16 mg tallow or palm fatty acids and also elaidic acid C _16/18 fatty acid cuts. To prepare the quaternized esters, the fatty acids and the triethanolamine in a molar ratio of 1, 1: 1 to 3: 1 can be used. With regard to the performance properties of the esterquats, an employment ratio of 1.2: 1 to 2.2: 1, preferably 1.5: 1 to 1.9: 1, has proven particularly advantageous. The preferred esterquats are technical mixtures of mono-, di- and triesters with an average degree of esterification of 1, 5-1, 9 and are derived from technical C1 _6/18 tallow or palm fatty acid (iodine value from 0 to 40) from. From an application point of view, quaternized fatty acid triethanolamine ester salts of the formula (E5-I) have proved to be particularly advantageous, in which R ^{14 is} CO for an acyl radical having 16 to 18 carbon atoms, R ^{15 is} R ¹⁵ CO, R ^{16 is} hydrogen, R ^{17 is} a methyl group, m1, m2 and m3 is 0 and Y is methyl sulfate.

In addition to the quaternized fatty acid triethanolamine ester salts, quaternized ester salts of fatty acids with diethanolalkylamines of the formula (E5-II) are also suitable as esterquats.

Such Amidesterquats are available for example under the brand Incroquat® (Croda) in the market. Preferred ester quats are quaternized ester salts of fatty acids with triethanolamine, quaternized ester salts of fatty acids with diethanolalkylamines and quaternized ester salts of fatty acids with 1,2-dihydroxypropyldialkylamines. Such products are marketed under the trade names Stepantex® ^{®, ®} and Dehyquart® Armocare® ^®. The products Armocare ^® VGH-70, a N, N-bis (2-palmitoyloxyethyl) dimethylammonium chloride, as well as Dehyquart ^® F-75, Dehyquart ^® C-4046, Dehyquart ^® L80 and Dehyquart ^® AU-35 are examples of such esterquats.

The alkylamidoamines are usually prepared by amidation of natural or synthetic fatty acids and fatty acid cuts with dialkylaminoamines. An inventively particularly suitable compound from this group is that available under the name Tegoamid ^® S 18 commercially stearamidopropyl dimethylamine.

The cationic surfactants (E5) are contained in the agents used according to the invention preferably in amounts of 0.05 to 10 wt .-%, based on the total agent. Amounts of 0.1 to 5 wt .-% are particularly preferred.

Cationic, nonionic, zwitterionic and / or amphoteric surfactants and mixtures thereof may be preferred according to the invention.

In addition to the cationic surfactants described above, cation-active polymers are furthermore particularly advantageously suitable as hair-care substances. Here, the film former, the thickening polymer or both may already be cationic. In this case, ie if the film former or the thickening polymer or both are already cationic, it may be particularly advantageous to choose the hair care substance from one of the other substance classes. A cationic compound is a substance that has substantivity to human hair due to cationic or cationizable groups, especially primary, secondary, tertiary or quaternary amine groups. Suitable cationic substances are selected from cationic polymers, silicone compounds with cationic or cationizable groups, cationically derivatized proteins or protein hydrolysates and betaine. Since all cationic polymers have previously been described in detail, with the exception of the cationic protein derivatives, reference is made to what has been described above.

Cationized protein hydrolysates are among the cationic substances, the underlying protein hydrolyzate being derived from the animal, for example from collagen, milk or keratin, from the plant, for example from wheat, maize, rice, potatoes, soya or almonds, from marine life forms, for example from fish collagen or Algae, or biotechnologically derived protein hydrolysates. The protein hydrolyzates on which the cationic derivatives according to the invention are based can be obtained from the corresponding proteins by chemical, in particular alkaline or acid hydrolysis, by enzymatic hydrolysis and / or a combination of both types of hydrolysis. The hydrolysis of proteins usually results in a protein hydrolyzate having a molecular weight distribution of about 100 daltons up to several thousand daltons. Preference is given to those cationic protein hydrolysates whose protein content on which they are based has a molecular weight of from 100 to 250,000 daltons, preferably from 250 to 5,000 daltons. Furthermore, cationic protein hydrolyzates are understood to mean quaternized amino acids and mixtures thereof. The quaternization of the protein hydrolyzates or amino acids is often carried out using quaternary ammonium salts such as N, N-dimethyl-N- (n-alkyl) -N- (2-hydroxy-3-chloro-n-propyl) ammonium halides. Advantageously, the cationically derivatized protein hydrolysates contain one or two long C8 to C22 alkyl chains and correspondingly two or one short C1 to C4 alkyl chains. Compounds containing a long alkyl chain are preferred. Furthermore, the cationic protein hydrolysates may also be further derivatized. As typical examples of the cationic protein hydrolysates and derivatives according to the invention, those mentioned under the INCI names in the "International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary and Handbook", (seventh edition 1997, The Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association 1101 17 ^th Street, NW, Suite 300, Washington, DC 20036-4702) above and commercially available products mentioned: Cocodimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Collagen, Cocodimopnium hydroxypropyl hydrolyzed casein, Cocodimonium hydroxypropyl hydrolyzed collagen, Cocodimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Hair Keratin, Cocodimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, Cocodimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Silicon, Cocodimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Cocodimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Cocodimonium Hydroxypropyl SiCl Amino Acids, Hydroxypropyl Arginine Lauryl / Myristyl Ether HCl, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Gelatin , Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hydrolyzed Casein, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hydrolyzed Collagen, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hydrolyzed Conchiolin Protein, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hydrolyzed Keratin, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hydrolyzed Rice Bran Protein, Hydroxyproypltrimonium Hydrolysed SiIk, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein / Siloxysilicate, Laurodimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Lauridimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Laurodimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein / Siloxysilicate, Lauryldimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Casein, Lauryldimony Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Collagen, Lauryldimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Keratin, Lauryldimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Lauryldimony Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Steardimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Casein, Steardimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Collagen, Steardimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Keratin, Steardimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, Steardimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed SiIk, Steardimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Steardimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, Steardime Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Steartrimonium Hydroxyethyl Hydrolyzed Collagen, Quaternium-76 Hydrolyzed Collagen, Quaternium-79 Hydrolyzed Collagen, Quaternium-79 Hydrolyzed Keratin, Quaternium-79 Hydrolyzed Milk Protein, Quaternium-79 Hydrolyzed Sick, Quaternium-79 Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Quaterniüm-79 Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein.

One embodiment of the present invention may include eye-visible, optically visible particles having a particle size of 0.1 to 3 mm in the composition. These particles are mechanically destroyed during application from the packaging.

Of course, microparticles filled or unfilled may also be used in the composition of the invention both to achieve certain effects, such as the release of an active agent from the capsules or the achievement of particular visual, esthetic effects of the overall formulation. In this case, it may be particularly advantageous when polymers are incorporated as suspending aids. Suspension aids facilitate the distribution of solids in liquids. Here, the polymers occupy the surface of the solid particles by adsorption and thereby change the surface properties of the solids. The following are examples of these polymers:

To optimize the fly-away effect of the composition according to the invention, it may be helpful to additionally use a further polymer with pronounced antistatic properties. With the help of the electrical properties of these polymers, the surfaces of the cosmetically treated substrates skin, nails and keratinic fibers are influenced in their electrical potential. In hair care, for example, this effect reduces the effect known as "fly-away effect" and is based on the electrostatic repulsion of the hair fibers, but it also affects the skin surface on the skin surface, and some of these polymers have their optimum effect Of course, many of these polymers also fall into the film-forming polymers to be used in accordance with the invention, and examples of such polymers can therefore be found there. These are therefore no longer listed in the following exemplary list.

In a further preferred embodiment, the effect of the composition according to the invention by emulsifiers (F) can be increased. Emulsifiers effect at the phase interface the formation of water- or oil-stable adsorption layers, which protect the dispersed droplets against coalescence and thus stabilize the emulsion. Emulsifiers are therefore constructed, like surfactants, from a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic moiety. Hydrophilic emulsifiers preferably form OAW emulsions and hydrophobic emulsifiers preferably form W / O emulsions. An emulsion is to be understood as meaning a droplet-like distribution (dispersion) of a liquid in another liquid under the expense of energy in order to create stabilizing phase interfaces by means of surfactants. The selection of these emulsifying surfactants or emulsifiers depends on the substances to be dispersed and the respective outer phase and the fineness of the emulsion. Further definitions and properties of emulsifiers can be found in "H.-D.Dörfler, Grenzflächen- and colloid chemistry, VCH Verlagsgesellschaft mbH. Weinheim, 1994. "Emulsifiers which can be used according to the invention are, for example

Addition products of from 4 to 30 mol of ethylene oxide and / or from 0 to 5 mol of propylene oxide onto linear fatty alcohols having from 8 to 22 carbon atoms, to fatty acids containing from 12 to 22 carbon atoms and to alkylphenols having from 8 to 15 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, C ₂ -C ₂₂ -fatty acid mono- and diesters of addition products of from 1 to 30 mol of ethylene oxide onto polyols having from 3 to 6 carbon atoms, in particular to glycerol,

Sterols are understood to mean a group of steroids which have a hydroxyl group at C atom 3 of the steroid skeleton and are isolated both from animal tissue (zoosterines) and from vegetable fats (phytosterols). Examples of zoosterols are cholesterol and lanosterol. Examples of suitable phytosterols are ergosterol, stigmasterol and sitosterol. Mushrooms and yeasts are also used to isolate sterols, the so-called mycosterols.

J. Falbe, M. Regitz), 10th edition, Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart, New York, (1997), page 1764, listed definitions. Nonionic emulsifiers with an HLB value of 5-18 may be particularly preferred according to the invention. Very particular preference may be given to emulsifiers having an HLB value of from 10 to 15.

Furthermore, protein hydrolysates and / or amino acids and their derivatives (H) may be present in the preparations used according to the invention. Protein hydrolysates are product mixtures obtained by acid, alkaline or enzymatically catalyzed degradation of proteins (proteins). According to the invention, the term protein hydrolyzates also means total hydrolyzates as well as individual amino acids and their derivatives as well as mixtures of different amino acids. Furthermore, according to the invention, polymers made up of amino acids and amino acid derivatives are understood by the term protein hydrolyzates. The latter include, for example, polyalanine, polyasparagine, polyserine, etc. Further examples of compounds which can be used according to the invention are L-alanyl-L-proline, polyglycine, glycyl-L-glutamine or D / L-methionine-S-methylsulfonium chloride.

Of course, according to the invention, β-amino acids and their derivatives such as β-alanine, anthranilic acid or hippuric acid can also be used. The molecular weight of the protein hydrolysates which can be used according to the invention is between 75, the molecular weight for glycine, and 200,000, preferably the molecular weight is 75 to 50,000 and very particularly preferably 75 to 20,000 daltons.

According to the invention, protein hydrolysates of both vegetable and animal or marine or synthetic origin can be used. Animal protein hydrolysates are, for example, elastin, collagen, keratin, silk and milk protein protein hydrolysates, which may also be present in the form of salts.

Although the use of the protein hydrolysates is preferred as such, amino acid mixtures otherwise obtained may be used in their place, if appropriate. It is likewise possible to use derivatives of the protein tetrolyzates, for example in the form of their fatty acid condensation products. Such products are sold for example under the names Lamepon® ^® (Cognis), Lexein ^® (Inolex), Crolastin ^® (Croda) or crotein ^® (Croda).

The protein hydrolysates or their derivatives are preferably contained in the agents used according to the invention in amounts of from 0.1 to 10% by weight, based on the total agent. Amounts of 0.1 to 5 wt .-% are particularly preferred.

Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, the use of UV filters (I) can give further advantages with regard to the structure of the hair and thus advantages with regard to combability, gloss or volume. The hair is protected against the influences of the UV filter UV light protected. The UV filters to be used according to the invention are not subject to any general restrictions with regard to their structure and their physical properties. On the contrary, all UV filters which can be used in the cosmetic sector are suitable, whose absorption maximum lies in the UVA (315-400 nm), in the UVB (280-315 nm) or in the UVC (<280 nm) range. UV filters with an absorption maximum in the UVB range, in particular in the range from about 280 to about 300 nm, are particularly preferred.

The UV filters used according to the invention can be selected, for example, from substituted benzophenones, p-aminobenzoic acid esters, diphenylacrylic acid esters, cinnamic acid esters, salicylic acid esters, benzimidazoles and o-aminobenzoic acid esters.

Preferred are UV filters whose molar extinction coefficient at the absorption maximum lies above 15,000, in particular above 20,000.

Furthermore, it has been found that structurally similar UV filters in many cases, the water-insoluble compound in the teaching of the invention has the higher effect compared to such water-soluble compounds that differ from it by one or more additional ionic groups. In the context of the invention, the term "water-insoluble" is to be understood as meaning those UV filters which dissolve at 20 ^° C. to not more than 1% by weight, in particular not more than 0.1% by weight, in water. Furthermore, these compounds should be soluble in the usual cosmetic oil components at room temperature to at least 0.1, in particular at least 1 wt .-%). The use of water-insoluble UV filters may therefore be preferred according to the invention.

According to a further embodiment of the invention, preference is given to those UV filters which have a cationic group, in particular a quaternary ammonium group.

These UV filters have the general structure U - Q.

The structural part U stands for a UV-absorbing group. These

Group can be derived in principle from the known, usable in the cosmetics sector, above UV filters in which a group in the

Usually a hydrogen atom, the UV filter is replaced by a cationic group Q, in particular with a quaternary amino function.

Compounds from which the structural part U can derive are, for example

substituted benzophenones,

p-aminobenzoic acid ester,

- diphenylacrylic acid ester,

- cinnamic acid ester, Salicylic acid ester,

Benzimidazoles and

oAminobenzoic acid ester.

Structural parts U which are derived from cinnamic acid amide or from N, N-dimethylaminobenzoic acid amide are preferred according to the invention.

The structural parts U can in principle be chosen such that the absorption maximum of the UV filters can be in both the UVA (315-400 nm) and in the UVB (280-315 nm) or in the UVC (<280 nm) range. UV filters with an absorption maximum in the UVB range, in particular in the range from about 280 to about 300 nm, are particularly preferred.

Furthermore, the structural part U, also as a function of structural part Q, is preferably selected so that the molar extinction coefficient of the UV filter at the absorption maximum is above 15,000, in particular above 20,000.

The structural part Q preferably contains, as a cationic group, a quaternary ammonium group. This quaternary ammonium group can in principle be connected directly to the structural part U, so that the structural part U represents one of the four substituents of the positively charged nitrogen atom. Preferably, however, one of the four substituents on the positively charged nitrogen atom is a group, especially an alkylene group of 2 to 6 carbon atoms, which functions as a compound between the structural portion U and the positively charged nitrogen atom.

Panthenol, pantolactone, pyridoxine and its derivatives as well as nicotinic acid amide and biotin are particularly preferred.

Finally, the effect can also be increased by the combined use with plant extracts (L).

Usually these extracts are produced by extraction of the whole plant. However, in individual cases it may also be preferred to prepare the extracts exclusively from flowers and / or leaves of the plant.

With regard to the plant extracts which can be used according to the invention, particular reference is made to the extracts listed in the table beginning on page 44 of the 3rd edition of the guideline for the ingredient declaration of cosmetic products, published by the Industrial Association for Personal Care and Detergent e.V.

As extraction agent for the preparation of said plant extracts water, alcohols and mixtures thereof can be used. Among the alcohols are lower alcohols such as ethanol and isopropanol, but especially polyhydric alcohols such as ethylene glycol and propylene glycol, both as sole extractant and in admixture with water, are preferred. 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 according to the invention both in pure and in diluted form. If they are used in diluted form, they usually contain about 2 to 80 wt .-% of active substance and as a solvent used in their extraction agent or extractant mixture.

Furthermore, it may be preferred to use in the compositions according to the invention mixtures of several, especially two, different plant extracts.

In addition, it may prove advantageous if, in addition to the combination according to the invention, penetration aids and / or swelling agents (M) are contained. These excipients provide better penetration of active ingredients into the keratin fiber or help swell the keratin fiber. These include, for example, urea and urea derivatives, guanidine and its derivatives, arginine and its derivatives, water glass, imidazole and its derivatives, histidine and its derivatives, Benzyl alcohol, glycerol, glycol and glycol ethers, propylene glycol and propylene glycol ethers, for example propylene glycol monoethyl ether, carbonates, bicarbonates, diols and triols, and in particular 1, 2-diols and 1, 3-diols such as, for example 1, 2-propanediol, 1, 2-pentanediol, 1, 2-hexanediol, 1, 2-dodecanediol, 1, 3-propanediol, 1, 6-hexanediol, 1, 5-pentanediol, 1, 4-butanediol.

Short-chain carboxylic acids and their derivatives in the context of the invention are understood to mean carboxylic acids which may be saturated or unsaturated and / or straight-chain or branched or cyclic and / or aromatic and / or heterocyclic and have a molecular weight of less than 750. For the purposes of the invention, preference may be given to saturated or unsaturated straight-chain or branched carboxylic acids having a chain length of from 1 to 16 C atoms in the chain, very particular preference being given to those having a chain length of from 1 to 12 C atoms in the chain.

The short-chain carboxylic acids according to the invention may have one, two, three or more carboxy groups. Preferred within the meaning of the invention are carboxylic acids having a plurality of carboxy groups, in particular di- and tricarboxylic acids. The carboxy groups may be wholly or partly present as esters, acid anhydride, lactone, amide, imidic acid, lactam, lactim, dicarboximide, carbohydrazide, hydrazone, hydroxam, hydroxime, amidine, amidoxime, nitrile, phosphonic or phosphate ester. The carboxylic acids according to the invention may of course be substituted along the carbon chain or the ring skeleton. The substituents of the carboxylic acids according to the invention are, for example, C 1 -C 8 -alkyl, C 2 -C 8 -alkenyl, aryl, aralkyl and aralkenyl, hydroxymethyl, C 2 -C 8 -hydroxyalkyl, C 2 -C 8 -hydroxyalkenyl, Aminomethyl, C 2 -C 8 -aminoalkyl, cyano, formyl, oxo, thioxo, hydroxy, mercapto, amino, carboxy or imino groups.

in the Z is a linear or branched alkyl or alkenyl group having 4 to 12 carbon atoms, n is a number from 4 to 12 and one of the two groups X and Y is a COOH group and the other is hydrogen or a methyl or Ethyl radical, dicarboxylic acids of the general formula (NI), which additionally carry 1 to 3 methyl or ethyl substituents on the cyclohexene ring and dicarboxylic acids formed formally from the dicarboxylic acids according to formula (NI) by addition of a molecule of water to the double bond in the cyclohexene ring. Dicarboxylic acids of the formula (NI) are known in the literature.

A production process can be found, for example, in US Pat. No. 3,753,968. German Patent 22 50 055 discloses the use of these dicarboxylic acids in liquid soap masses. German Offenlegungsschrift 28 33 291 discloses deodorizing agents which contain zinc or magnesium salts of these dicarboxylic acids. Finally, from German Patent Application 35 03 618 means for washing and rinsing the hair are known in which by adding these dicarboxylic acids a noticeably improved hair cosmetic effect of the water-soluble ionic polymers contained in the means is obtained. Finally, from German Patent Application 197 54 053 means for hair treatment are known which have nourishing effects.

The dicarboxylic acids of the formula (N-I) can be prepared, for example, by reacting polyunsaturated dicarboxylic acids with unsaturated monocarboxylic acids in the form of a Diels-Alder cyclization. Usually one will assume a polyunsaturated fatty acid as the dicarboxylic acid component. Preferred is the linoleic acid obtainable from natural fats and oils. As the monocarboxylic acid component, in particular, acrylic acid, but also e.g. Methacrylic acid and crotonic acid are preferred. Normally, in the case of reactions according to Diels-Alder, isomer mixtures are formed in which one component is present in excess. These isomer mixtures can be used according to the invention as well as the pure compounds.

In addition to the preferred dicarboxylic acids according to formula (NI), those dicarboxylic acids which differ from the compounds according to formula (NI) by 1 to 3 methyl or ethyl substituents on the cyclohexyl ring or formally from these compounds by addition are also usable according to the invention a molecule of water is formed on the double formation of the cyclohexene ring.

The dicarboxylic acid (mixture), which is obtained by reacting linoleic acid with acrylic acid, has proved to be particularly effective according to the invention. It is a mixture of 5- and 6-carboxy-4-hexyl-2-cyclohexene-1-octanoic acid. Such compounds are commercially available under the designations Westvaco Diacid 1550 Westvaco Diacid ^{® ®} 1595 (manufacturer: Westvaco).

In addition to the short-chain carboxylic acids of the invention listed above by way of example, their physiologically tolerable salts can also be used according to the invention. Examples of such salts are the alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts, zinc salts and ammonium salts, which in the context of the present application also include the mono-, di- and trimethyl-, -ethyl- and -hydroxyethyl ammonium salts. With very particular preference, however, neutralized acids can be used in the context of the invention with alkaline-reacting amino acids, for example arginine, lysine, ornithine and histidine. Furthermore, it may be preferred for formulation reasons to select the carboxylic acid from the water-soluble representatives, in particular the water-soluble salts.

Furthermore, it is preferred according to the invention to use hydroxycarboxylic acids and here again in particular the dihydroxy-, trihydroxy- and polyhydroxycarboxylic acids as well as the dihydroxy, trihydroxy and polyhydroxy di-, tri- and polycarboxylic acids together with the active compound (A). It has been found that in addition to the hydroxycarboxylic acids, the hydroxycarboxylic acid esters and the mixtures of hydroxycarboxylic acids and their esters as well as polymeric hydroxycarboxylic acids and their esters can be very particularly preferred. Preferred hydroxycarboxylic acid esters are, for example, full esters of glycolic acid, lactic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid or citric acid. Other basically suitable hydroxycarboxylic acid esters are esters of β-hydroxypropionic acid, tartronic acid, D-gluconic acid, sugar acid, mucic acid or glucuronic acid. Suitable alcohol components of these esters are primary, linear or branched aliphatic alcohols having 8-22 C atoms, ie, for example, fatty alcohols or synthetic fatty alcohols. The esters of C12-C15 fatty alcohols are particularly preferred. Esters of this type are commercially available, eg under the trademark Cosmacol® ^® EniChem, Augusta Industriale. Particularly preferred polyhydroxypolycarboxylic acids are polylactic acid and polyuric acid and their esters.

The consumer, in the perception of the preparations, in particular caused by an esthetic packaging, optionally in conjunction with aromatic fragrances, may associate the composition according to the invention with a stimulant. Through this association, especially in children, an oral intake or swallowing of the In principle, composition can not be completely ruled out. In a preferred embodiment, therefore, the compositions according to the invention contain a bitter substance in order to prevent swallowing or accidental ingestion. Bitter substances which are soluble in water at 20 ^° C. to at least 5 g / l are preferred according to the invention.

With regard to an undesirable interaction with fragrance components optionally present in the composition according to the invention, in particular a change in the scent perceived by the consumer, the ionogenic bitter substances have proved superior to the nonionic, lonogenic bitter substances, preferably consisting of organic cation (s) and organic (s) Anion (s), are therefore preferred for the inventive preparations.

Quaternary ammonium compounds which contain an aromatic group both in the cation and in the anion are outstandingly suitable as bitter substances. One such compound is commercially available for example under the trademark Bitrex ^® and Indige-stin ^® available benzyldiethyl ((2,6 Xylylcarbamoyl) methyl) ammonium benzoate. This compound is also known by the name Denatonium Benzoate.

The bittering agent is contained in the compositions according to the invention in amounts of 0.0005 to 0.1 wt .-%, based on the molding. Particular preference is given to amounts of from 0.001 to 0.05% by weight.

Not only when in one embodiment of the invention is the composition in the form of an emulsion, the emulsion stabilizing polymers can be advantageously used. The stabilization of an emulsion can be achieved in various ways. For example, polymers can be used which influence the viscosity of the emulsion. Polymers can influence the viscosity of aqueous and non-aqueous phases in cosmetic preparations. In aqueous phases, their viscosity is based affecting function on its solubility in water or its hydrophilic nature. They are used in both surfactant and emulsion systems.

If the composition according to the invention is to be formulated in the form of an emulsion, emulsion-stabilizing polymers can advantageously be used as viscosity-influencing polymers. These are understood to mean polymers which essentially support the structure and the stabilization of emulsions (O / W and W / O as well as multiple emulsions). Surfactants and emulsifiers are of course the essential ingredients, but the stabilizing polymers contribute to a reduction in the coalescence of the emulsified droplets by positively affecting the continuous or disperse phase. This positive influence may be due to electrical repulsion and an increase in viscosity or film formation on the droplet surface.

The preparation of the composition according to the invention is carried out in a form which allows the spraying of the composition. For example, the composition according to the invention can be used as an aerosol, as a non-aerosol spray lotion, which is used by means of a mechanical device for spraying, as an aerosol foam or as a non-aerosol foam, which in combination with a suitable mechanical device for foaming the composition is present.

A suitable application form is an aerosol and / or non-aerosol spray application. Here, the agent according to the invention is sprayed by means of a suitable mechanically operated spraying device. By mechanical spraying devices are meant those devices which allow the spraying of a liquid without the use of a propellant. As a suitable mechanical spraying device, for example, a spray pump or provided with a spray valve elastic container in which the cosmetic composition according to the invention is filled under pressure, wherein the elastic container expands and from the means due to the contraction of the elastic container upon opening of the spray valve continuously is used.

If the agent according to the invention is in the form of a firming hair foam (mousse), it contains at least one customary foaming substance known for this purpose. The agent is foamed with or without the aid of propellants or chemical blowing agents and incorporated as a foam in the hair and left without rinsing in the hair. An inventive hair foam has as an additional component a chemical blowing agent and / or a mechanical device for foaming the composition. By mechanical foaming devices are meant those devices which allow the foaming of a liquid with or without the use of a blowing agent. As a suitable mechanical foaming device, for example, a commercially available pump foamer or an aerosol foam head can be used.

For the embodiment of the invention as an aerosol application, any corresponding aerosol valve can be used, which allows the spray rate preferred according to the invention and the corresponding droplet sizes. It may be advantageous if the valve opening has a diameter of at most 0.4 mm. An opening of 0.35 mm is preferred. Very particularly preferred are valve openings of at most 0.3 mm. Corresponding aerosol valves are described, for example, in the patents US Pat. Nos. 4,152,416, 3 083 917, 3 083 918, 3 544 258. Such valves can be obtained commercially, for example, from the companies Seaquist Perfect Dispensing GmbH or Coster Technologie Speciali spa. In a very particularly preferred embodiment, the valve is the Ariane type valve. M of the company Seaquist used. It may be particularly preferred if this valve is used together with a special throttling. The throttling is located either in the star of the valve or in the spray head. Another particularly preferred embodiment uses as a valve valve with side bore, as offered for example by Coster under the type designation K 125 SL 184/3/6.
