Description

Cosmetic preparations

Field of the Invention

The invention is in the field of cosmetics and relates to preparations which contain dicarboxylic acids and the use of the dicarboxylic acids for the production of cosmetic preparations.

State of the art

Long-chain fatty acids, such as palmitic or stearic acid, essentially serve as anionic co-emulsifiers in cosmetics. Apart from making soap, they play a subordinate role as raw materials due to their poor application properties. Certain alkaline earth and transition metal soaps, which are used as stabilizers, are most important. Dicarboxylic acids are usually esterified and then serve as oil bodies. In this connection, reference is made to the German patent DE 2817133 PS (Schering), from which pharmaceutical preparations are known which contain azelaic acid as an active ingredient against acne. The use of unsaturated aliphatic carboxylic acids as antimicrobial agents and for skin treatment is the subject of the European patent EP 0662946 Bl (Unichema).

Consumers are placing ever higher demands on modern cosmetic preparations. Nowadays, a skin cream not only has to impart a pleasant sensory sensation to the skin, it also has to care for it, provide it with moisture, protect it against aging and UV radiation. For the manufacturer of such products, this means that corresponding formulations usually contain many very different ingredients, which makes production technically complex and costly due to the storage. There is therefore great interest in substances which combine several different properties and whose use can reduce the number of components required. In this connection, there is a special desire for emulsifiers which reliably stabilize emulsions even if they are exposed to higher temperatures for a long time and / or contain oil bodies which are difficult to incorporate, such as silicone oils. simultaneously these emulsifiers should also have moisture-regulating properties and be particularly skin-friendly.

The object of the present invention was therefore to provide such new substances.

Description of the invention

The invention relates to cosmetic preparations containing dicarboxylic acids of the formula (I)

HOOC-A-COOH

(I)

in which A represents a saturated, linear or branched alkylene radical having 4 to 24 carbon atoms.

Surprisingly, it was found that, unlike the comparable monocarboxylic acids, dicarboxylic acids, depending on the chain length, have excellent technical properties which make them appear to be ideal starting materials for cosmetic preparations. While the moisture-storing and stabilizing properties are particularly pronounced in the shorter-chain representatives with about 6 to 12 carbon atoms, the higher representatives with about 14 to 26 carbon atoms are particularly suitable as emulsifiers and emollients, with the particular advantage here being that the emulsions containing them stabilize at higher temperatures and in the presence of substances that are otherwise difficult to emulsify, such as silicone oils, and have remarkable stability and skin tolerance.

dicarboxylic acids

Typical examples of dicarboxylic acids which are suitable for the purposes of the invention are adipic acid, pimelic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, dodecanedicarboxylic acid,

The preparation of the dicarboxylic acids can in in a known manner, for example by ozonolysis or biochemical oxidation. The preparations preferably contain dicarboxylic acids of the formula (I) in which A is an alkylene radical having either 6 to 8, 8 to 10, 10 to 12, 12 to 14, 14 to 16, 16 to 18, 18 to 20 or 20 to 22 Carbon atoms. The preparations can contain the dicarboxylic acids in amounts of 0.1 to 10, preferably 0.5 to 8 and in particular 1 to 5% by weight, based on the preparations. The use of dicarboxylic acids with a melting point above 30 ° C. in deodorant or antiperspirant stick compositions is preferred according to the invention. These dicarboxylic acids can serve, for example, as a replacement for the frequently used hydrogenated castor oil. The use of octadecane-l, 18-diacid in amounts of 0.5-8% by weight, preferably 1-5% by weight, is particularly preferred.

They can have a spherical shape, but it is also possible to use particles which have an ellipsoidal shape or a shape which differs from the spherical shape in some other way. The pigments can also be surface-treated, ie hydrophilized or hydrophobicized. Typical examples are coated titanium dioxides, such as titanium dioxide T 805 (Degussa) or Eusolex® T2000 (Merck). Silicones, and in particular trialkoxyoctylsilanes or simethicones, are particularly suitable as hydrophobic coating agents. So-called micro- or nanopigments are preferably used in sunscreens. Micronized zinc oxide is preferably used. Other suitable UV light protection filters are in the overview by P.Finkel in SÖFW-Journal 122, 543 (1996) and Parf.Kosm. 3, 11 (1999). In addition to the two aforementioned groups of primary light stabilizers, secondary light stabilizers of the antioxidant type can also be used, which interrupt the photochemical reaction chain which is triggered when UV radiation penetrates the skin. Typical examples are amino acids (e.g. glycine, histidine, tyrosine, tryptophan) ) and their derivatives, imidazoles (eg urocanic acid) and their derivatives, peptides such as D, L-carnosine, D-carnosine, L-carnosine and their derivatives (eg anserine), carotenoids, carotenes (eg α-carotene, ß- Carotene, lycopene) and their derivatives, chlorogenic acid and their derivatives, lipoic acid and their derivatives (e.g. dihydroliponic acid), aurothioglucose, propylthiouracil and other thiols (e.g. thioredoxin, glutathione, cysteine, cystine, cystamine and their glycosyl, N-acetyl- , Methyl, ethyl, propyl, amyl, butyl and lauryl, palmitoyl, oleyl, γ-linoleyl, cholesteryl and glyceryl esters) and their salts, dilauryl thiodipropionate, distearylthi odipropionate, thiodipropionic acid and their derivatives (esters, ethers, peptides, lipids, nucleotides, nucleosides and salts) as well as sulfoximine compounds (e.g. buthioninsulfoximines, homocysteine sulfoximine, Butioninsulfone, penta-, hexa-, heptathioninsulfoximine) in very low tolerable dosages (e.g. pmol bis μmol / kg), also (metal) chelators (e.g. α-hydroxy fatty acids, palmitic acid, phytic acid, lactoferrin), hydroxy acids (e.g. citric acid, lactic acid, malic acid), humic acid, bile acid, bile extracts, bilirubin, biliverdin, EDTA, EGTA and their derivatives, unsaturated fatty acids and their derivatives (for example γ-linolenic acid, linoleic acid, oleic acid), folic acid and their derivatives, ubiquinone and ubiquinol and their derivatives, vitamin C and derivatives (for example ascorbyl palmitate, Mg ascorbyl phosphate, ascorbyl acetate), tocopherols and derivatives (eg vitamin E acetate), vitamin A and derivatives (vitamin A palmitate) and coniferyl benzoate of benzoin, rutinic acid and their derivatives , Α-glycosyl rutin, ferulic acid, Furfurylidenglucitol, carnosine, butylhydroxytoluene, butylhydroxyanisole, Nordihydroguajakharzsäure, nordihydroguaiaretic acid, tri- hydroxybutyrophenon, uric acid and derivatives thereof, mannose and derivatives thereof, superoxide dismutase, zinc and derivatives thereof (for example ZnO, ZnSO ₄₎ selenium and its derivatives (eg selenium methionine), stilbenes and their derivatives (eg stilbene oxide, trans-stilbene oxide) and the derivatives suitable according to the invention (salts, esters, ethers, sugars, nucleotides, nucleosides, peptides and lipids) of these active substances.

Biogenic agents

Deodorants and germ inhibitors

Cosmetic deodorants counteract, mask or eliminate body odors. Body odors arise from the action of skin bacteria on apocrine sweat, whereby unpleasant smelling breakdown products are formed. Accordingly, deodorants contain active ingredients which act as germ-inhibiting agents, enzyme inhibitors, odor absorbers or odor maskers. In principle, all substances effective against gram-positive bacteria are suitable as germ-inhibiting agents, such as. B. 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and its salts and esters, N- (4-chlorophenyl) - N '- (3,4 dichlorophenyl) urea, 2,4,4' -Trichlor-2'-hydroxydiphenyl ether (triclosan), 4-chlorine -3,5-dimethylphenol, 2,2'-methylene-bis (6-bromo-4-chlorophenol), 3-methyl-4- (1-methylethyl) phenol, 2-benzyl-4-chlorophenol, 3 - (4-chlorophenoxy) -l, 2-propanediol, 3-iodo-2-propynylbutylcarbamate, chlorhexidine, 3,4,4'-trichlorocarbanilide (TTC), antibacterial fragrances, thymol, thyme oil, eugenol, clove oil, menthol, mint oil, Famesol, phenoxyethanol, glycerol monocaprinate, glycerol monocaprylate, glycerol monolaurate (GML), diglycerol monocaprinate (DMC), salicylic acid N-alkylamides such as e.g. B. salicylic acid-n-octylamide or salicylic acid-n-decylamide.

Esterase inhibitors, for example, are suitable as enzyme inhibitors. These are preferably trialkyl citrates such as trimethyl citrate, tripropyl citrate, triisopropyl citrate, tributyl citrate and in particular triethyl citrate (Hydagen® CAT). The substances inhibit enzyme activity and thereby reduce odor. Further substances which can be considered as esterase inhibitors are sterolsulfates or phosphates, such as, for example, lanosterol, cholesterol, campesterin, stigmasterol and sitosterol sulfate or phosphate, dicarboxylic acids and their esters, such as, for example, glutaric acid, glutaric acid monoethyl ester, glutaric acid diethyl ester, Adipic acid, adipic acid monoethyl ester, adipic acid diethyl ester, malonic acid and malonic acid diethyl ester, hydroxycarboxylic acids and their esters such as citric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid or tartaric acid diethyl ester, and zinc glycinate.

Suitable odor absorbers are substances that absorb odor-forming compounds and can retain them to a large extent. They lower the partial pressure of the individual components and thus also reduce their speed of propagation. It is important that Perfumes must remain unaffected. Odor absorbers are not effective against bacteria. They contain, for example, a complex zinc salt of ricinoleic acid or special, largely odorless fragrances, which are known to the person skilled in the art as "fixators", such as, for example, the main component. B. extracts of Labdanum or Styrax or certain abietic acid derivatives. Fragrance agents or perfume oils act as odor maskers and, in addition to their function as odor maskers, give the deodorants their respective fragrance. Perfume oils are, for example, mixtures of natural and synthetic fragrances. Natural fragrances are extracts of flowers, stems and leaves, fruits, fruit peels, roots, woods, herbs and grasses, needles and branches as well as resins and balms. Animal raw materials, such as civet and castoreum, are also suitable. Typical synthetic fragrance compounds are products of the ester, ether, aldehyde, ketone, alcohol and hydrocarbon type. Fragrance compounds of the ester type are, for example, benzyl acetate, p-tert-butylcyclohexyl acetate, linalyl acetate, phenylethyl acetate, linalyl benzoate, benzyl formate, allyl cyclohexyl propionate, styrallyl propionate and benzyl salicylate. The ethers include, for example, benzyl ethyl ether, the aldehydes include, for example, the linear alkanals having 8 to 18 carbon atoms, citral, citronellal, citronellyloxyacetaldehyde, cyclamenaldehyde, hydroxycitronellal, lilial and bourgeonal, the ketones include, for example, the joonones and methylcedryl ketone, and the alcohols are anethole, Citronellol, eugenol, isoeugenol, geraniol, linalool, phenylethyl alcohol and terpineol, the hydrocarbons mainly include the terpenes and balsams. However, preference is given to using mixtures of different fragrances which together produce an appealing fragrance. Essential oils of lower volatility, which are mostly used as aroma components, are also suitable as perfume oils, for example sage oil, chamomile oil, clove oil, melissa oil, mint oil, cinnamon leaf oil, linden blossom oil, juniper berry oil, vetiver oil, oliban oil, galbanum oil, labdanum oil and lavandin oil. Bergamot oil, dihydro-myrcenol, lilial, lyral, citronellol, phenylethyl alcohol, α-hexylcinnamaldehyde, geraniol, benzylacetone, cyclamenaldehyde, linalool, boisambrene forte, ambroxan, indole, hedione, sandelice, lemon oil, mandarine oil, cycloalene oil, allyl oil oil, orange oil oil, orange oil oil, orange oil oil, orange oil oil , Muscatel sage oil, ß-damascone, geranium oil bourbon, cyclohexylsalicy- lat, Vertofix Coeur, Iso-E-Super, Fixolide NP, evernyl, iraldein gamma, phenylacetic acid, geranyl acetate, benzyl acetate, rose oxide, romilate, irotyl and floramate alone or in mixtures, used.
