Description

"Hair conditioning agents with selected cationic silicones and dimethicone"

The invention relates to hair treatment compositions containing selected cationic silicones and dimethicones and the use of these agents for the treatment of keratinic fibers, in particular human hair.

 Not least due to the heavy use of hair, for example by dyeing or perming, as well as by the cleaning of the hair with shampoos and by environmental pollution, the importance of care products with the longest possible effect increases.

 The available active ingredients generally preferably act on the hair surface. However, the known active ingredients can not cover all needs sufficiently. There is therefore still a need for active ingredients or combinations of active substances for cosmetic products with good care properties and good biodegradability. In particular in dye-containing and / or electrolyte-containing formulations, there is a need for additional skin-care active ingredients which can be incorporated without problems into known formulations. In particular, there is a need for nourishing substances which significantly improve the combability of wet and dry hair, the grip of wet and dry hair and the shine in the compositions.

 In hair conditioning agents, silicones are used in addition to quaternary ammonium compounds. Among the silicones, in particular, amino-functional silicones have been found to be suitable. Nevertheless, the use of the usual amino-functional silicones leads to a significant load on the keratinic fibers. As a result, the later hairstyle design can be difficult.

 Dimethicones have also been used for a long time in hair care. Their substantivity and care properties are not as pronounced as those of the amino-functional silicones. Frequently it has also been shown that the dimethicones have only an insufficient effect, because they can not sufficiently wet the keratinic fibers.

 However, it has now been found, completely surprisingly, that a combination of active ingredients of a cationic amino-functional silicone and a dimethicone achieves particularly advantageous results. In addition to a cationic amino-functional silicone and at least one dimethicone, a highly preferred combination of active substances furthermore contains at least one cationic imidazoline of the formula I having at least two long fatty chains.

The use of this combination leads to surprisingly good properties of the treated keratin fibers, in particular human hair, in particular to improved combing, improved gloss and improved elasticity as well as a significantly increased wash resistance dyed hair, as well as a longer shelf life with a simultaneous better forming performance in corrugations such as water wave and perm. A first aspect of the present invention is therefore a composition for the treatment of keratinic fibers containing

 a) a cationic amino-functional silicone,

 b) at least one dimethicone and

 c) a cosmetic carrier.

 The compositions according to the invention contain an active ingredient combination of at least two constituents, the constituents a) and b) being used within a certain weight ratio to one another. In preferred agents according to the invention, the weight ratio of imidazoline derivatives a) of the formula I to a cationic amino-functional silicone b) is 20: 1 to 1:20, more preferably 10: 1 to 1:10, particularly preferably 5: 1 to 1: 5 and in particular 2 , 5: 1 to 1: 2.5.

 Hair treatment compositions for the purposes of the present invention are, for example, hair dyes, bleaching agents, hair shampoos, hair conditioners, conditioning shampoos, hair sprays, hair rinses, hair treatments, hair wraps, hair tonics, perming solutions, hair dye shampoos, hair dyes, hair fixatives, hair dressings, hair styling preparations, hair lotions , Mousse, hair gels, hair waxes or combinations thereof. Preferred agents according to the invention are shampoos, conditioners or hair tonics.

By combing is understood according to the invention both the combability of the wet fiber, as well as the combability of the dry fiber. As a measure of the combing used the combing work or the force used during the combing process of a fiber collective. The measurement parameters can be assessed by the skilled person or quantified by measuring devices.

 The grip defines the tactility of a fiber collective, whereby the expert sensoryly senses and evaluates the parameters fullness and suppleness of the collective.

 Shaping is understood to mean the ability to give a shape change to a group of previously treated keratin-containing fibers, in particular human hair. Hair cosmetics also speak of hair styling.

 According to the invention, cosmetic creams, emulsions, gels or surfactant-containing foaming solutions, for example shampoos, foam aerosols or other preparations which are particularly suitable for use on the hair, are particularly suitable as cosmetic carriers. But it is also conceivable to integrate the ingredients in a powdered or tablet-like formulation, which is dissolved in water before use. The cosmetic carriers may in particular be aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic. An aqueous cosmetic carrier contains at least 50% by weight of water.

For the purposes of the present invention, aqueous-alcoholic cosmetic carriers are aqueous solutions containing from 3 to 70% by weight of a C 1 -C 6 -alcohol, in particular methanol, ethanol or propanol, isopropanol, butanol, isobutanol, tert-butanol, n-butyl.

The compositions according to the invention may additionally contain further organic solvents, for example methoxybutanol, benzyl alcohol, ethyl diglycol or 1,2-propylene glycol. Preference is given to all water-soluble organic solvents. As ingredient a), the compositions according to the invention contain at least one cationic amino-functional silicone polymer. EP 1887024 A1 describes novel cationic amino-functional silicones which in particular improve the gloss in agents for the care of surfaces, for example human hair. These cationic silicone polymers are characterized in that they have a silicone backbone and at least one polyether part and furthermore at least one part with an ammonium structure. Examples of the preferred cationic silicone polymers for the purposes of the present invention are, in addition to the compounds of the aforementioned EP 1887024 A1, in particular the compounds with the INCI designations: Silicone Quaternium-1, Silicone Quaternium-2, Silicone Quaternium-3, Silicone Quaternium-4 Silicone Quaternium-5, Silicone Quaternium-6, Silicone Quaternium-7, Silicone Quaternium-8, Silicone Quaternium-9, Silicone Quaternium-10, Silicone Quaternium-11, Silicone Quaternium-12, Silicone Quaternium-15, Silicone Quaternium-16 , Silicone Quaternium-17, Silicone Quaternium-18, Silicone Quaternium-20, Silicone Quaternium-21, Silicone Quaternium-22 as well as Silicone Quaternium-2 Panthenol Succinate and Silicone Quaternium-16 / Glycidyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer.

 Stabilizing agent for hydrogen peroxide and other oxidizing agents,

Propellants such as propane-butane mixtures, N ₂ O, dimethyl ether, CO ₂ and air,

 antioxidants

 Perfume oils, fragrances and fragrances.

 With regard to further optional components and the amounts of these components used, reference is expressly made to the relevant manuals known to the person skilled in the art.

Another subject of the invention is a hair treatment process in which a cosmetic composition according to claim 1 is applied to the hair and is rinsed by the hair after a contact time.

The exposure time is preferably a few seconds to 100 minutes, more preferably 1 to 50 minutes and most preferably 1 to 30 minutes. According to the invention is also a method in which a cosmetic composition according to claim 1 is applied to the hair and remains there. According to the invention, "remaining on the hair" means that the agent is not rinsed out of the hair immediately after it has been used, but in this case the agent remains on the hair for more than 100 minutes until the next hair wash.

Examples:

All quantities are, unless otherwise stated, parts by weight. The following formulations were provided using known preparation methods

Hair conditioner:

 The pH of all formulations was adjusted to 2 to 4.

 Hair Treatment:

 The pH of all formulations was adjusted to 2 to 4.
