Description

"Single-phase transparent hair gel"

The invention relates to monophasic, transparent, hair conditioning gels comprising a cationic polymer, a polyhydroxy compound and a cationic surfactant and / or an amine in a cosmetically acceptable carrier, the use of the hair care composition, and a method of hair care using the composition and a method for the preparation of the agent.

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

The reason for this is that the hair can be damaged by the treatment / stress both externally and in its structure, which gives them an unattractive appearance, which is characterized by lack of smoothness and softness, lack of shine, but also by a poor combability, Hair breakage or split ends can be noticeable.

Therefore, it has long been customary to subject the hair to a special post-treatment to supply the hair and the scalp care substances that give the hair back a nice appearance and strengthen the hair structure, and maintain the scalp and protect from drying out. In such post-treatments, the hair is treated with special active ingredients, for example quaternary ammonium salts or special polymers, usually in the form of a rinse. Depending on the formulation, this treatment can improve the combability, the hold, the fullness and the shine of the hair.

However, the incorporation of skin and hair conditioner in a cosmetically suitable - usually aqueous - basis, the manufacturer of such compositions but to date, always great difficulties, especially mineral, natural or synthetic fat, wax and oil components, the proven leave a nourishing and conditioning effect on the skin and hair, can not be incorporated by simply mixing in a cosmetic base.

In particular, when silicone oils and / or vegetable fats or oils are incorporated into hair cosmetic compositions as active ingredients, one usually obtains at least two- or multi-phase formulations. This is all the more noticeable, the higher the content of silicone oils and / or vegetable fats and oils in the compositions. These two-phase systems must be converted by the consumer by vigorous shaking into a stable only for a short time single-phase system before use. Even with proper use of these products then a good product performance on the hair is not always given, for example, by shaking too briefly can not always ensure a uniform distribution of the active ingredients. It may happen in such cases that instead of the required amount of the active ingredients, more "carrier substance" gets onto the hair when using the hair conditioning agent, as a result of which the conditioning effect decreases. At the same time, the hair conditioning agent becomes more concentrated after each use in such an improper use, and over a certain amount can even over-conditioning, making the hair become heavy.

The object of the present invention was therefore to produce a stable, clear and single-phase hair conditioner which cares for the hair and increases the combability of the hair and its gloss. Optimally, the hair conditioning agents should nevertheless have a comparatively low viscosity and, in the case of a higher viscosity, a low yield point in order to be readily dispersible on the hair surface.

A further object of the invention was to produce a stable, clear and single-phase hair conditioning agent that allows the incorporation of higher amounts of oil components - in particular silicones and / or vegetable oils, without affecting the single-phase or the desired viscosity.

Another object of the invention was that not only the entire hair composite but even the individual hair fiber from the approach to the tip looks uniformly and shiny and has a pleasant tactile feel.

Surprisingly, it has been found that certain cationic polymers in combination with selected polyhydroxy compounds and / or selected cationic surfactants and / or with certain amines fulfill the abovementioned objectives to a high degree. Their combination enables the production of single-phase products with appropriate viscosity, yield point and clarity.

At the same time, the use of these combinations leads to surprisingly good properties of the treated hair, in particular to improved Kämmbarkeiten and improved elasticity. In particular, however, the gloss of the hair treated with it is significantly increased. Finally, these gels themselves have a novel feel and feel rich even with very small amounts of oil components, voluminous and oily, although they contain only very small amounts. This haptic behavior clearly distinguishes the gels according to the invention from gels of the prior art, especially since the oils according to the invention have a clear appearance.

The entire composition is very evenly distributed on the hair. The gel of the present invention, though having the typical gel-like stability, is very easy and pleasant to dispense with the fingers on the hair and even on a single fiber without the application of force.

For this purpose, a font located immediately behind it with the character Arial in size 10 is read through the composition contained in a conventional 250 ml beaker. A further possibility for determining the clarity of the compositions according to the invention is to determine the turbidity or permeability of the composition according to DIN / EN 27027 (ISO 7027) as transmitted-light turbidity measurement.
