"Drug combination and hair treatment products for dandruff IV"

The invention relates to a cosmetic hair treatment agent based on a specific combination of active ingredients, a method using the means and the use of the means for the prophylaxis, reduction, elimination and alleviation of dandruff on hairy body surfaces.

Skin and hair cleansers, such as those commercially available as liquid soaps, shampoos, shower baths, bubble baths, shower gels, and wash gels, not only must have good detergency, but should also be well tolerated by the skin and hair if used frequently, do not cause excessive defatting or dryness.

An important aspect of hair cleansing and care is the fight against dandruff, because even the slight appearance of dandruff on the scalp or other hairy body regions is considered a sign of lack of care. In addition, dandruff is usually accompanied by itching, which is perceived as disturbing. Itching, on the other hand, causes scratching reactions, which can lead to injuries of the affected skin, which in turn can form the basis for infections and pathogenic agents. The requirements for a cosmetic remedy for dandruff are therefore high, because on the one hand the scalp should be thoroughly and permanently freed of dandruff, and on the other hand, the remedy for hair and scalp should be well tolerated.

Another important requirement is to have the fastest possible effect, so that the above-mentioned chain of disadvantages does not occur at all.

From the literature, a variety of hair cosmetics are known to prevent or reduce dandruff. The choice is usually made in the form of shampoos, lotions or hair lotions.

EP-A-348 015 discloses the use of zinc salts as anti-dandruff agents.

The combination of three conventional and effective antidandruff agents is the subject of EP 1 238 645 B1. Therein are 1 - (4-chlorophenoxy) -1- (1H-imidazolyl) -3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone (INCI name: climbazole), bis (1-hydroxy-2- (1H) -pyridineethionato ) Zinc (INCI name: Zinc Pyrithione) and 1-hydroxy-4-methyl-6- (2,4,4-trimethylpentyl) -2- (1H) pyridinone, 2-aminoethanol salt (INCI name: Piroctone Olamine ) are already combined at low levels of use to produce an antidandruff agent that prevents or reduces the formation of dandruff.

A disadvantage of the means of the prior art has been that they were effective against dandruff, but this effect only after frequent use occurred. Therefore, it was an additional object of the present invention to find a fast dandruff agent that is gentle on the scalp and the hair and does not adversely affect the hair in terms of its combability, its shine and suppleness. In addition, the anti-dandruff effect of known drugs should, if possible, not only be accelerated, but also increased as far as possible.

This object has been achieved by using the antidandruff active selenium sulfide in combination with a special epsilon-poly-L-amino acid in a composition suitable for use on hairy body surfaces.

Surprisingly, it was found that hair treatment with cosmetic products based on this combination resulted in a significantly faster and more intensive action than conventional compositions.

The invention therefore hair treatment compositions containing - based on their weight - a) 0.0001 to 5 wt .-% E silane poly-L-lysine of the general formula (I)

where n stands for integers between 5 and 100,

b) 0.01 to 10 wt .-% selenium sulfide (s).

As the first essential ingredient, the compositions according to the invention contain epsilon-poly-L-lysine, an oligomer or polymer of the natural amino acid lysine, which is also referred to as epsilon-polylysine due to its linkage in epsilon position. This compound leads to an increase in the activity and acceleration of the antidandruff active ingredient, which goes beyond the own antidandruff effect of epsilon-poly-L-lysine.

In preferred compositions of the invention epsilon-poly-L-lysine is used within narrower ranges. Hair treatment agents preferred according to the invention are characterized in that they contain from 0.0005 to 4, preferably from 0.001 to 3, more preferably from 0.005 to 2 and in particular from 0.01 to 1% by weight of epsilon-poly-L-lysine of the general formula (I) ,

The degree of polymerization of the epsilon-poly-L-lysines used according to the invention is between 5 and 100. Depending on the hair treatment agent and use concentration, it was possible to observe an optimum effect for polymers within narrower degrees of polymerization. Accordingly, hair treatment agents of the invention containing epsilon-poly-L-lysine of the general formula (I) are preferred in which n is an integer of 10 to 70, preferably 15 to 60, more preferably 20 to 50 and especially numbers 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 stands. Very particularly preferred hair treatment compositions according to the invention contain 0.0005 to 4, preferably 0.001 to 3, more preferably 0.005 to 2 and in particular 0.01 to 1 wt .-% epsilon-poly-L-lysine of the general formula (I) with n = 23 and / or n = 24 and / or n = 25 and / or n = 26 and / or n = 27 and / or n = 28 and / or n = 29 and / or n = 30 and / or n = 31 and / or n = 32 and / or n = 33 and / or n = 34, wherein the total amount of epsilon-poly-L-Lysinen of the general formula (I) according to the invention is 0.0001 to 5 wt .-%.

As a second essential ingredient, the agents according to the invention contain from 0.01 to 10% by weight of selenium sulfide (s). Selenium sulfide is present after preparation via the usual synthesis routes as a mixture of substances consisting of Achtringen with the variable composition (Se _n S ₈ - _n ). Due to the typical composition of the mixture with the formula SeS ₂ is often spoken of selenium disulfide.

Selenium sulfides are a common component of anti-dandruff shampoos because of their fungicidal and, at the same time, scale-dissolving action. These usually contain 1% of the active ingredient. At a higher concentration (2.5%), selenium sulfides are included in pastes and suspensions for the treatment of seborrhoeic dermatitis. Higher concentrations would be subject to the Drug Prescription Ordinance.
