Description

Hydrocarbon mixtures and their use

The present invention relates to a hydrocarbon mixture containing at least two different hydrocarbons whose carbon number differs by more than 1, wherein these 2 mutually different hydrocarbons at least 60 wt .-%, preferably at least 70 wt .-% - based on the Make up the sum of hydrocarbons. The present invention further relates to the use of these hydrocarbon mixtures and also to cosmetic and / or pharmaceutical preparations containing these hydrocarbon mixtures.

State of the art

Sensory light oil bodies, so-called "light emollients", are used by the cosmetic industry in a large number of formulations, in particular for decorative cosmetics or in care formulations so-called "light" components. These components may be, for example, volatile cyclic silicones (eg cyclopentasiloxane or cyclomethicone) or hydrocarbons from petrochemical processes. In the last-mentioned substances are mainly due to their preparation, mixtures of linear, cyclic and branched hydrocarbons with a flash point may be well below 50 ⁰ C (such as in isododecane). Examples and application descriptions of such formulations can be found in standard works such as: Handbook of Cosmetic Science and Technology, A. Barel, M. Paye, H. Maibach, Marcel Dekker Inc. 2001. For toxicological, ecological or safety reasons, however, there will in future be a demand for alternative raw materials for such formulation tasks.

In cosmetic and pharmaceutical preparations, the term "mineral oil" refers to the liquid distillation products obtained from mineral raw materials (petroleum, lignite and hard coal), which essentially consist of mixtures of saturated hydrocarbons having a linear, cyclic and / or branched structure However, these hydrocarbon mixtures must be extensively cleaned and chemically modified before they meet the requirements for cosmetic raw materials. The object of the invention was to find alternative raw materials that are ecologically and toxicologically harmless. It was of particular interest to provide raw materials which can be used directly in cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparations without expensive purification steps. Preferably, these raw materials should be available on the basis of renewable resources. These raw materials should be able to be used directly in typical cosmetic and / or pharmaceutical formulations without application restrictions. In addition, the raw materials should have improved sensor technology compared to the hydrocarbon mixtures of the prior art, it was also desirable that these raw materials have a better skin compatibility. It was of particular interest to provide raw materials which are comparable with respect to their formulation or sensory use possibilities with silicone oils, in particular with low-viscosity silicone oils, such as eg dimethicones. It was desirable in particular to provide raw materials which are suitable as substitutes for silicone oils. In addition, it has been of interest to provide raw materials which have an improved CO ₂ balance over the prior art raw materials.

Another object was to provide raw materials, which allows a stable formulation with AP / Deo (= antiperspirant / deodorant) agents. Cosmetic preparations of the antiperspirant / deodorant category, in particular in so-called "stick formulations", still have the problem of insufficient stability of the cosmetic base, in which case, inter alia, the hardness of the manufactured "stick formulation" is in need of improvement. A disadvantage of an existing "stick formulation" is that odor changes occur during storage. [Daher Eine] A further object of the invention was therefore to provide raw materials which make it possible to use antiperspirant or deodorizing preparations, in particular those in stick formulation "stable to provide. These preparations should not show any undesirable odor developments, especially during prolonged storage. A further task was to provide raw materials which give a sensory "slight" impression, if possible with the same improved skin compatibility, in particular in combination with UV light filters and in combination with self-tanning agents In decorative cosmetic formulations, it is possible to give a sensory-favorable impression to formulations of decorative cosmetics, such as For example, lipsticks, eye shadows, mascara, nail polish, etc. are due to the application site (mainly face and hands) increased demands on the sensor, especially on the volatility, so that these products do not give the impression of "heaviness." Furthermore, with these products good dispersibility of pigments desirable.

B. an angular dependence of the color (iridescent, flop), gloss (not surface gloss) or texture - confer. According to the invention, such effect pigments are advantageously used in addition to one or more white and / or color pigments.

The most important group of effect pigments are the luster pigments, which according to DIN 55944: 2003-11 include the metallic effect pigments and the pearlescent pigments. Some special effect pigments can not be assigned to these two groups, eg. As platelet graphite, platelet-shaped iron oxide and micronized titanium dioxide, wherein micronized titanium dioxide produces no gloss effect, but an angle-dependent light scattering effect. The luster pigments according to DIN 55943: 2001-10 are predominantly platelet-shaped effect pigments. Parallel oriented luster pigments show a characteristic shine. The optical effect of luster pigments is based on the directed reflection on metallic particles (metallic effect pigments), on transparent particles with high refractive index (pearlescent pigments) or on the phenomenon of interference (interference pigments) (DIN 55944: 2003-11). Examples of commercially available effect pigments which are preferred according to the invention are: Timiron and # 174; from Merck, Iriodin and # 174; from Merck (pearl and color gloss pigments for decorative technical applications), Xirallic and # 174; from Merck (color intensive crystals effect pigments).

The preparations according to the invention usually contain from 0.1 to 40% by weight of pigments, based on the total weight of the cosmetic and / or pharmaceutical preparation.

It is furthermore advantageous for the purposes of the present invention if the preparation according to the invention contains one or more dyes.

The dyes can be of both synthetic and natural origin.

A list of suitable dyes can be found in EP 1 371 359 A2, p. 8, lines 25-57, p. 9 and p. 10, and pp. 1, lines 1 to 54, to which reference is hereby explicitly made. The preparations according to the invention usually contain 0.01 to 5, preferably 0.1 to 1.0 wt .-% dyes - based on the total weight of the cosmetic and / or pharmaceutical preparation. The preparations according to the invention usually contain a total amount of dyes and pigments in the range of 0.01 to 30 wt .-%, in particular 0.1 to 15 wt .-%, preferably 1 to 10 wt .-%, based on the total weight of the cosmetic and / or pharmaceutical preparation.

Suitable dyes and pigments are, in particular, the dyes and pigments approved in accordance with Annex IV of the Commission Directive (in the version: Commission Directive 2007/22 / EC of 17 April 2007 amending Council Directive

76/768 / EEC, concerning cosmetic purposes, for the purposes of adapting Annexes IV and VI to technical progress) substances, which are hereby incorporated by reference.

The cosmetic and / or pharmaceutical preparations may be personal care formulations, e.g. As a body milk, creams, lotions, sprayable emulsions, products for the elimination of body odor, etc. The hydrocarbon mixtures can also be used in surfactant-containing formulations such. As foam and shower baths, hair shampoos and conditioners use. Depending on the application, the cosmetic and / or pharmaceutical preparations contain a number of other auxiliaries and additives, such as, for example, surfactants, other oil particles, emulsifiers, pearlescent waxes, bodying agents, thickeners, superfatting agents, stabilizers, Polymers, fats, waxes, lecithins, phospholipids, biogenic agents, antidandruff agents, film formers, swelling agents, insect repellents, self-tanner, tyrosinase inhibitors (depigmentation agents), hydrotropes, solubilizers, preservatives, perfume oils, dyes, etc., which are listed below by way of example.

emulsifier

In one embodiment of the invention, the preparations according to the invention contain at least one emulsifier.

An object of the invention relates to cosmetic and / or pharmaceutical preparations containing 0.1 to 80 wt.% Of a hydrocarbon mixture, wherein the hydrocarbon mixture contains at least 2 mutually different hydrocarbons whose carbon number differs by more than 1, preferably by 2 and wherein these 2 different hydrocarbons at least 60 wt .-%, preferably at least 70 wt .-% - based on the sum of the hydrocarbons and at least one emulsifier.

The compositions according to the invention usually contain the emulsifier (s) in an amount of 0 to 40% by weight, preferably 0.1 to 20% by weight, preferably 0.1 to 15% by weight and in particular 0.1 to 10% by weight based on the total weight of the composition.

Each emulsifier is assigned a so-called HLB value (a dimensionless number between 0 and 20) which indicates whether a preferred water or oil solubility is present. Numbers below 9 preferably indicate oil-soluble, hydrophobic emulsifiers, numbers over 11 water-soluble, hydrophilic emulsifiers.

The HLB value says something about the balance of the size and strength of the hydrophilic and the lipophilic groups of an emulsifier.

The HLB value of an emulsifier can also be calculated from increments, with the HLB increments for the different hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups that make up a molecule. As a rule, it can be taken from tables (eg H. P. Fiedler, Encyclopaedia of Pharmaceuticals, Cosmetics and Adjacent Areas, Editio Cantor Verlag, Aulendorf, 4th edition 1996) or the manufacturer's instructions. The solubility of the emulsifier in the two phases practically determines the type of emulsion. If the emulsifier is better soluble in water, an O / W emulsion is obtained. On the other hand, if the emulsifier has better solubility in the oiphase, a W / O emulsion is formed under otherwise identical production conditions. In one embodiment of the invention, the preparation according to the invention contains more than one emulsifier. The skilled artisan will employ conventional emulsifier systems (such as emulsifier and co-emulsifier) depending on the other components.
