Description

"Surfactant hair treatment agent with poly-L-lysine II"

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.

Fast anti-dandruff agents, which are gentle on the scalp and hair and do not adversely affect the hair in terms of combability, gloss and suppleness, are known from the earlier German patent application DE 10 2010 062 662 A1. The agents disclosed therein contain a specific epsilon-poly-L-amino acid in combination with certain oligopeptides in an agent suitable for application to hairy body surfaces.

It is an object of the present invention to further develop the field of fast-dandruff agents which are gentle on the scalp and hair and which do not adversely affect the hair's combability, gloss and suppleness, without necessarily relying on the use to be dependent on oligopeptides. It has now been found that this object can be achieved by using a specific epsilon-poly-L-amino acid in surface-active agents with a high proportion of amphoteric and / or nonionic surfactants.

The present invention relates to compositions for the treatment of hair and the scalp, containing - based on their weight - a)> 6 wt .-% surfactant (s), preferably> 10 wt .-% surfactant (e)

b)> 80% by weight of the total surfactants in the form of amphoteric and / or nonionic surfactant (s)

Particularly preferred nonionic surfactants are alkyl polyglycosides. Alkylpolyglycosides (APG) are nonionic surfactants made entirely from renewable resources (sugar building blocks, predominantly glucose, for example from corn starch and fatty alcohol, for example from coconut oil). Alkyl polyglycosides are accessible by acid-catalyzed reaction (Fischer reaction) of sugars, especially glucose (or starch) or butyl glycosides with fatty alcohols.

Complex mixtures of alkyl monoglucoside (alkyl-α-D- and β-D-glucopyranoside and small amounts of glucofuranoside), alkyldiglucosides (-isomaltosides, maltosides, etc.) and alkyl oligoglucosides (maltotriosides, tetraosides, etc.) are formed. The average degree of polymerization of commercial products whose alkyl radicals are in the range C8-C16 is 1, 2-1, 5.

According to the invention, preference is given to using alkylpolyglycosides corresponding to the general formula RO - (Z) _x , where R is alkyl, Z is sugar and x is the number of sugar units. Particular preference is given to those alkylpolyglycosides in which R

consists.

As sugar building block Z it is possible to use any desired mono- or oligosaccharides. Usually, sugars with 5 or 6 carbon atoms and the corresponding oligosaccharides are used. Such sugars are, for example, glucose, fructose, galactose, arabinose, ribose, xylose, lyxose, allose, altrose, mannose, gulose, idose, talose and sucrose. Preferred sugar building blocks are glucose, fructose, galactose, arabinose and sucrose. Accordingly, preferred hair treatment compositions according to the invention are characterized in that they - based on their weight - 0, 1 to 20 wt .-%, preferably 1 to 10 wt .-% and in particular 2 to 8 wt .-% alkylpolyglycoside (e) of the formula

Very particularly preferred alkypolyglucosides are those whose alkyl radical is a lauryl radical. For mixtures of substances from natural sources, preference is given to those sources which have a high proportion of C 12 fatty acids, in particular coconut fatty acids. Accordingly, particularly preferred hair treatment compositions according to the invention are characterized in that they are based on their weight - 0.1 to 15 wt .-%, preferably 1 to 10 wt .-% and in particular 2 to 8 wt .-% Alkylpolyglucosid (e) of the formula

Advantageously in the context of the invention, short-chain carboxylic acids (N) may additionally support the active substance complex (A). Short-chain carboxylic acids and their derivatives in the context of the invention are understood to mean carboxylic acids which are saturated or unsaturated and / or may be 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.

In a further preferred embodiment, the agents according to the invention may contain emulsifiers (F). 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 part of the molecule. Hydrophilic emulsifiers preferably form O / W 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.

The use of this compound, which in addition to the polymer component contains a hydrocarbon mixture (Ci ₃ -Ci ₄ -lsoparaffin) 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.
