Description

"Hair treatment compositions containing selected fatty acid amides and selected fragrances"

The present invention relates to hair treatment compositions containing a synergistic combination of selected fatty acid amides and other selected fragrances.

There is a need to further improve hair care products and to give them further advantageous properties. In particular, a care complex should be provided which can ideally also be used in conjunction with oxidizing agents and surface-active agents.

Frequently the consumer does not complain about insufficient combability of the keratinic fibers but rather about the scent impression of the washed keratin fibers, especially hours after washing and styling when the keratinic fibers have been exposed to the environment for a long time. The smell of the keratinic fibers fades or changes greatly when the washed keratinic fibers in the environment are exposed to influences such as smog, smoke, especially smoke from tobacco products, fatty odors in kitchens, or overly perfumed rooms such as department stores. Here, the consumer increasingly expects a hair treatment agent, which smells even after hours of washing and hairdressing and staying in such an environment still perfectly.

Environmental influences and oxidative hair treatments often lead to impaired combability of dry and wet hair. Furthermore, the gloss and the moisture balance are adversely affected by the attacked outer structure of the keratinic fibers. Another consequence of repeated treatments of keratinic fibers with surface-active and / or oxidative agents is a strong re-greasing of the keratinic fibers and a strong tendency to increased scaling of the scalp.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to reduce the side effects of environmental influences and oxidative and surfactant hair treatments already preferably during the oxidative or surfactant hair treatment but also after the oxidative or surfactant hair treatment, without the efficiency of the oxidative or surfactant cosmetic, in particular Color intensity, color fastness, whitening performance or corrugating effect, as well as to prevent the greasing of the keratinic fibers and the increased formation of scalp scales. In addition, in the form of a 2-in-1 product in an application step, the oxidative treatment keratinhaltiger fibers, especially human hair, with the application of an effective fiber protection from environmental influences, such as UV protection, are connected. In particular, the object of the prior art compositions has been to significantly improve the adhesion of fragrances to the keratinic fibers. Another task has been to obtain the fragrance impression of the fragrance over a longer period of several hours to at least 24 hours, even under disturbing environmental influences. This is surprisingly achieved with the combination of active substances according to the invention. Fatty acid amides are in principle known chemical compounds and are also already used in hair care products as ingredients. Fragrances per se and in compositions for application to keratinic fibers are also known to the person skilled in the art. However, these known compositions can not satisfactorily solve the problems. Insofar as the active ingredient complex is discussed below, this statement refers to the ingredients a) and b) which are mandatory in the hair treatment compositions according to the invention.

The active ingredient complex of the invention leads to the improvement of the finish, to improve the gloss, to improve the moisture balance and to protect the destructuring keratinhaltiger fibers, especially human hair, by UV radiation and especially for protection against oxidative damage, in particular for the maintenance of Haarwachstumes Preventing hair loss and preventing greasing of the keratinic fibers and increasing the wash resistance of dyed keratinic fibers. In particular, the fragrance impression, which is produced by the fragrances, for a long time, that is, at least up to 24 hours received.

A first subject of the present invention is therefore a hair treatment composition containing - based on its weight - a) 0.01 to 15 wt .-% based on the total composition of at least one fatty acid amide according to the formula (I)

Formula (I),

in which R1, R2 and R3 independently of one another represent a linear branched or unbranched C6 to C30, preferably C8 to C24, more preferably C12 to C22 and most preferably C12 to C18 alkyl or alkenyl group, wherein furthermore preferably R2 is equal to R3 and most preferably R1 is R2 equal to R3, and n and m are independently integers of 1 to 10, preferably 2 to 6 and most preferably 2, 3 and / or 4, most preferably n = m, and b) 0.001 to 5.0 wt .-% of at least one fragrance.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cosmetic agents are used to treat keratinous fibers, in particular human hair. Preferred agents according to the invention are therefore, for example, shampoos, hair dyes, conditioners or hair tonics. 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.

By maintaining the natural growth of keratinous fibers, it is understood that the effects on natural hair growth are compensated by hair cosmetic treatments as outlined above, in particular by oxidative hair treatments, and no or at least slight effects on the natural growth of the keratinic fibers in terms of thickness growth, the growth in length and / or in relation to the hair fullness are present.

In the context of an oxidative hair treatment, the action of an oxidative cosmetic agent containing at least one oxidizing agent on hair in a cosmetic carrier is defined according to the invention.

By preserving the fragrance of the treated keratin fiber, it is understood that the olfactory impression left by a fragrance on the keratinic fibers can be perceived olfactorily by the action of other fragrances, such as cold smoke, at least 24 hours after the application of the cosmetic ,

The hair treatment composition comprising the active substance complex according to the invention is preferably used immediately before, during or after the oxidative or surfactant hair treatment. As immediately before the oxidative or surfactant hair treatment is understood in the context of the invention, an application directly followed by the oxidative or surfactant hair treatment, wherein the active ingredient complex containing hair treatment agent previously rinsed from the hair or preferably left on the hair and the hair is preferred still wet.

For the purposes of the invention, an application which follows either directly on the oxidative or surfactant hair treatment is understood as meaning after the oxidative or surfactant hair treatment, wherein the hair treatment agent containing the active ingredient complex according to the invention after rinsing the oxidatively or surfactant acting on the preferably still wet, towel-dried hair is applied, or applied to dry or wet hair only after several hours or days. In both cases, the hair treatment composition according to the invention can be rinsed out again after a contact time of a few seconds up to 45 minutes or remain completely on the hair.

The effect of the hair treatment agent according to the invention unfolds even during the oxidative or surfactant hair treatment and surprisingly persists even after intensive washing out of the hair treatment composition according to the invention.

The active substance complex according to the invention is preferably used in a cosmetic carrier. The cosmetic carriers may in particular be aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic. One aqueous cosmetic carrier contains at least 50 wt .-% water. For the purposes of the present invention, aqueous-alcoholic cosmetic carriers include 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-pentanol, iso-pentanols, n-hexanol, isohexanols, glycol, glycerol, 1, 2-pentanediol, 1, 5-pentanediol, 1, 2-hexanediol or 1, 6-hexanediol to understand. The compositions of the invention may additionally contain other organic solvents, such as methoxybutanol, benzyl alcohol, ethyl diglycol or 1, 2-propylene glycol. Preference is given to all water-soluble organic solvents.

The component a) of the active substance complex according to the invention is a fatty acid amide of the general formula (I).

Formula (I)

in which R1, R2 and R3 independently of one another represent a linear branched or unbranched C6 to C30, preferably C8 to C24, more preferably C12 to C22 and most preferably C12 to C18 alkyl or alkenyl group.

Ingredient b), a fragrance, is the second essential component of the present invention. The definition of a fragrance in the context of the present application is in accordance with the expert definition, as the RÖMPP Chemie Lexikon, December 2007, can be taken. Thereafter, a fragrance is a chemical compound with smell and / or taste that excites the hair cell receptors (adequate stimulus). The necessary physical and chemical properties are a low molecular weight of at most 300 g / mol, a high vapor pressure, minimal water and high lipid solubility and weak polarity and the presence of at least one osmophoric group in the molecule. In order to delineate volatile, low molecular weight substances which are usually and also not regarded as perfuming agents, but primarily as solvents, such as, for example, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol and acetone, odorants according to the invention, fragrances according to the invention have a molecular weight of 74 to 300 g / mol, contain at least one osmophoric group in the molecule and have a smell and / or taste, that is, they excite the receptors of the hair cells of the olfactory system. A fragrance in the sense of the present invention can be a singular substance but also an extract or essential oil or a resin or a resinoid. According to the definition of "fragrances", it is also possible to use a plurality of fragrances According to the present invention, the term "fragrances" does not refer to perfumes and / or perfume compositions or fragrance compositions with fragrance components composed of different sources. An example should clarify the complex facts. Star anise oil is a fragrance within the meaning of the present invention, although this oil consists of 15 individual components. Star aniseed oil is obtained by steam distillation. For the purposes of the present invention, the term "fragrance" does not include the so-called "notes". By "notes", the perfumer understands mixtures of different individual discrete components to a particular fragrance body, for example rose bodies.Furthermore, the term "fragrances" in the sense of this invention does not include substances which on the one hand cause a smell but on the other hand are usually also used for other purposes in cosmetic compositions be used.
