Description

Gel frío.Cold gel

La presente memoria descriptiva se refiere, como su título indica, a un gel frío, del tipo de los utilizados para proporcionar alivio y refresco en el cuidado de cansancio y pesadez en las extremidades, problemas circulatorios, masaje deportivo, crioterapia, caracterizado principalmente porque utiliza como emulgente un gelificante con capacidad emulsionante, a la par que añade elementos conservantes y opcionalmente extractos vegetales.The present specification refers to, as its title indicates, to a cold gel, of the type used for provide relief and refreshment in the care of tiredness and heaviness in the extremities, circulatory problems, sports massage, cryotherapy, characterized mainly because it uses as emulsifier a gelling agent with emulsifying capacity, while add preservatives and optionally extracts vegetables.

En la actualidad son ampliamente conocidos múltiples y variados tipos de cremas y geles que, al aplicarse sobre la piel, proporcionan una sensación de frescor. Esta sensación de frescor se ha comprobado clínicamente que produce una mejora y un alivio en el caso de extremidades cansadas, pesadas y doloridas por el esfuerzo. Por ello son comúnmente utilizadas tanto para uso personal como para el tratamiento de problemas circulatorios, masaje deportivo o crioterapia.They are now widely known multiple and varied types of creams and gels that, when applied on the skin, they provide a feeling of freshness. This Fresh sensation has been clinically proven to produce a improvement and relief in the case of tired, heavy and Sore from the effort. Therefore they are commonly used both for personal use as for the treatment of problems circulatory, sports massage or cryotherapy.

Estas cremas y geles están normalmente compuestas de una mezcla en cantidades variables de una parte hidroalcoholica (mezcla de agua y alcohol desnaturalizado), una base emulgente y Mentol. Es común en todas estas cremas y geles el uso de Mentol como componente principal que proporciona la sensación cutánea de frescor.These creams and gels are normally composed of a mixture in variable quantities of a part hydroalcoholic (mixture of water and denatured alcohol), a Emulsifying base and Menthol. It is common in all these creams and gels the use of Mentol as the main component that provides the skin sensation of freshness.

Como emulgente o excipiente se han utilizado tradicionalmente diversos compuestos basados en celulosa, que, a pesar de realizar su función dentro de la crema o gel, presentan una serie de problemas principalmente debidos a su textura un tanto basta, que proporciona un tacto no demasiado agradable que incide negativamente en su comercialización y en la satisfacción del cliente final. Este tipo de emulgentes basados en celulosa presentan además el problema añadido de que, debido a ser intrínsecamente grasos, presentan problemas de uso debido a su lenta absorción, que original inconveniente tal y como el tacto pegajoso y graso, que suele resultar desagradable para la persona que lo utiliza, y los residuos grasos que quedan en la piel después de su uso que frecuentemente hacen que la ropa se adhiera parcialmente a la piel o incluso se manche. Todos estos problemas inciden negativamente en la comercialización del
producto.As an emulsifier or excipient, various cellulose-based compounds have been traditionally used, which, despite performing their function within the cream or gel, present a series of problems mainly due to their somewhat coarse texture, which provides a not too pleasant touch. that negatively affects its commercialization and the satisfaction of the final customer. This type of cellulose-based emulsifiers also have the added problem that, due to being intrinsically fatty, they present problems of use due to their slow absorption, that original inconvenience such as sticky and fatty touch, which is usually unpleasant for the person that uses it, and the fatty residues that remain in the skin after use that frequently cause the clothing to partially adhere to the skin or even stain. All these problems have a negative impact on the commercialization of
product.

Además, estos tipos de cremas y geles presentan el problema añadido de una corta duración, que hace que pierda sus propiedades en un tiempo relativamente corto, con lo que su ciclo de fabricación, comercialización y uso ha de ser relativamente rápido. Además son frecuentes los problemas de contaminación o inestabilidad microbiológica, que obligan a desechar grandes partidas de producto.In addition, these types of creams and gels present the added problem of a short duration, which causes you to lose your properties in a relatively short time, bringing its cycle of manufacturing, marketing and use has to be relatively Quick. In addition, pollution problems are frequent or microbiological instability, which force large discards product items.

Para solventar la problemática existente en la actualidad en cuanto al problema de las cremas y geles para proporcionar una sensación de frescor se ha ideado el gel frío objeto de la presente invención, el cual está compuesto básicamente de una mezcla en cantidades variables de una parte hidroalcoholica (mezcla de agua y alcohol desnaturalizado), una base emulgente constituida por un gelificante con capacidad emulsionante, basado en polímeros acrílicos, y Mentol, con el añadido de unos conservantes y unos extractos vegetales opcionales.To solve the problem in the news about the problem of creams and gels for provide a feeling of freshness the cold gel has been devised object of the present invention, which is basically composed of a mixture in varying amounts of a hydroalcoholic part (mixture of water and denatured alcohol), an emulsifying base constituted by a gelling agent with emulsifying capacity, based in acrylic polymers, and menthol, with the addition of some preservatives and optional plant extracts.

Este gel frío que se presenta aporta múltiples ventajas sobre los productos disponibles en la actualidad para la misma aplicación, siendo la más importante que, debido a utilizar una base emulgente constituida por un gelificante con capacidad emulsionante, basado en polímeros acrílicos, en lugar de los emulgentes convencionales basados en celulosa, se consigue una enorme mejora en la textura final del producto, con un tacto mucho más agradable, a la par que al no ser graso, su absorción en la piel es mucho más rápida y sin residuos, potenciando y mejorando los efectos refrescantes del gel. Asimismo se eliminan todos los problemas residuales existentes en productos convencionales originados por los restos grasos que quedan en la piel.This cold gel presented provides multiple advantages over the products currently available for the same application, being the most important that, due to use an emulsifying base consisting of a gelling agent with capacity emulsifier, based on acrylic polymers, instead of conventional cellulose based emulsifiers, a huge improvement in the final texture of the product, with a lot of touch more pleasant, while not being fatty, its absorption into the skin It is much faster and without waste, enhancing and improving cooling effects of the gel. Likewise, all residual problems existing in conventional products originated by the fatty remains that remain in the skin.

La adición de elementos conservantes específicos permite mejorar enormemente la durabilidad y la estabilidad microbiológica del producto, eliminando los problemas de contaminación o inestabilidad microbiológica, que obligaban a desechar grandes partidas de producto, y permitiendo un ciclo de vida del producto y una duración almacenado mucho
mayor.The addition of specific preservative elements allows to greatly improve the durability and microbiological stability of the product, eliminating the problems of contamination or microbiological instability, which required the disposal of large product items, and allowing a product life cycle and a long stored duration.
higher.

Asimismo es una ventaja complementaria el poder contar con la posibilidad opcional de añadir extractos vegetales que permiten complementar la acción refrescante del mentol con otras acciones curativas específicas de cada extracto vegetal, o simplemente para añadir algún aroma agradable.It is also a complementary advantage the power have the optional possibility of adding plant extracts that allow to complement the refreshing action of menthol with other specific healing actions of each plant extract, or Simply to add some pleasant aroma.

Como consecuencia de lo anterior, esta invención presenta la enorme ventaja de su mejor comercialización y aceptación por el usuario, que redunda en un beneficio económico mayor.As a consequence of the foregoing, this invention it presents the enormous advantage of its best commercialization and user acceptance, which results in an economic benefit higher.
