Betaine-containing cosmetics

Abstract

Cosmetic and/or dermatological preparations comprising

Description

[0002] The present invention relates to cosmetic and/or dermatological preparations which comprise polyols and betaines, and to their use.

[0003] The skin is the largest human organ. Among its many functions (for example for heat regulation and as a sense organ), the barrier function, which prevents the drying out of the skin (and thus in the final analysis of the entire body), is probably the most important. At the same time, the skin acts as a protective device against the penetration and the absorption of substances originating from outside. This barrier function is brought about by the epidermis, which as the outermost layer forms the actual protective coat against the environment. At approximately one-tenth of the total thickness, it is, at the same time, the thinnest layer of the skin.

[0004] It is the object of cosmetic skincare to strengthen or restore the natural function of the skin as a barrier against environmental influences (e.g. dirt, chemicals, microorganisms) and against the loss of endogenous substances (e.g. water, natural fats, electrolytes).

[0005] The aim of skincare is furthermore to compensate the fat loss of the skin caused by daily washing. This is particularly important if the natural capacity for regeneration is not adequate.

[0006] One of the most important objects of skincare, however, consists in moisturizing the skin. The classic skin moisturizing agents include, inter alia, polyols such as glycerol and sorbitol. In addition, however, other compounds are also employed, such as ethoxylated polyols and hydrolyzed proteins. Moreover, components of the natural moisturizing factor of the skin (NMF), e.g. urea and certain amino acids, are used. Glycerol, however, is most widespread. A great disadvantage in the prior art consists in the negative sensory properties of polyol-containing cosmetic and/or dermatological preparations. As a rule, these feel sticky and greasy on the skin and make the corresponding products unattractive to the consumer.

[0007] It was therefore the object of the present invention to eliminate or to decrease the disadvantages of the prior art and to develop polyol-containing cosmetic and/or dermatological preparations whose sticky and greasy skin sensation is reduced.

[0008] Surprisingly, the object is achieved by cosmetic and/or dermatological preparations comprising

[0009] a) polyols in a concentration of 5 to 50% by weight,

[0010] b) betaines in a concentration of 0.01 to 75% by weight,

[0011] in each case based on the total weight of the preparation,

[0012] in addition, if appropriate, to other active ingredients, excipients and additives.

[0013] A concentration of polyols of 5 to 20% by weight and in particular of 5 to 15% by weight is particularly advantageous, in each case based on the total weight of the formulation.

[0014] A concentration of betaines of 0.5 to 50% by weight and in particular of 3 to 15% by weight is furthermore particularly advantageous, in each case based on the total weight of the formulation.

[0015] These preparations are distinguished by a pleasant less sticky less greasy skin sensation without the good skin-moisturizing properties being lost.

[0016] The betaine particularly preferred according to the invention is in this case trimethyl-glycine; as preferred polyol according to the invention glycerol is employed.

[0017] Part of the invention is the use of betaines for reducing the stickiness of polyol-containing cosmetic and/or dermatological preparations.

[0018] Part of the invention is furthermore the use of betaines for reducing the greasy skin sensation of polyol-containing cosmetic and/or dermatological preparations.

[0019] Generally, the use of betaines for improving the sensory properties of cosmetic and/or dermatological preparations according to the invention is novel.

[0020] Furthermore, the use of betaines in cosmetic and/or dermatological preparations after for reducing the adherence of foreign particles, in particular sand, to skin treated with cosmetic and/or dermatological preparations is novel.

[0021] The novel cosmetic and/or dermatological preparations can be employed according to the invention as a skin cream, face cream and/or body lotion, and as a sunscreen.

[0022] It is, of course, known to the person skilled in the art that demanding cosmetic compositions are usually not conceivable without the customary excipients and additives. The novel cosmetic preparations can therefore contain cosmetic excipients, such as are customarily used in such preparations, e.g. preservatives, bactericides, perfumes, vitamins, colorants, agents for preventing foaming, thickeners, plasticizing substances, fats, oils, waxes or other customary constituents of a cosmetic formulation such as alcohols, polymers, foam stabilizers, electrolytes or organic solvents.

[0023] Thus it is advantageous according to the invention to add UV filters to the novel preparations. Here, oil-soluble UVA filters and/or UVB filters can be employed in the lipid phase and/or water-soluble UVA filters and/or UVB filters can be employed in the aqueous phase.

[0024] Advantageous oil-soluble UVB filter substances are, for example:

[0025] 4-aminobenzoic acid derivatives, preferably 2-ethylhexyl 4-(dimethylamino)-benzoate, amyl 4-(dimethylamino)benzoate;

[0026] esters of benzalmalonic acid, preferably 2-ethylhexyl 4-methoxybenzal-malonate;

[0027] esters of cinnamic acid, preferably 2-ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, isopentyl 4-methoxycinnamate;

[0028] derivatives of benzophenone, preferably 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone, 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-4′-methylbenzophenone, 2,2′-dihydroxy-4-methoxy-benzophenone;

[0029] methylidenecamphor derivatives, preferably 4-methylbenzylidenecamphor, benzylidenecamphor,

[0030] symmetrically substituted triazines, preferably tris(2-ethylhexyl) 4,4′,4″-(1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyltriimino)trisbenzoate, synonym: 2,4,6-tris[anilino(p-carbo-2′-ethyl-1′-hexyloxy)]-1,3,5-triazine [UVINUL T 150 (BASF)],

[0031] unsymmetrically substituted triazines, preferably 2,4-bis{[4-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-2-hydroxy]phenyl}-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,5-triazine (INCI: Aniso triazine) and 2,4-bis(2-ethylhexyl p-aminobenzoate)-6-(p-aminobenzoic acid N-1,1-di-methylethylamide)-1,3,5-triazine dioctylbutylamidotriazone (INCI: dioctylbutylamidotriazone).

[0032] Advantageous water-soluble UVB filter substances are, for example:

[0033] sulfonic acid derivatives of 3-benzylidenecamphor, such as, for example, 4-(2-oxo-3-bornylidenemethyl)benzenesulfonic acid, 2-methyl-5-(2-oxo-3-bornylidene)sulfonic acid and their salts,

[0034] 2-phenylbenzimidazole-5-sulfonic acid and its salts [Eusolex 232 (Merck), Neo Heliopan Hydro (H & R), Parsol HS (Givaudan)].

[0035] The list of UVB filters mentioned, which can additionally be employed within the meaning of the present invention, should, of course, be non-limiting.

[0036] Advantageous UVA filters are, for example:

[0037] 1,4-phenylenedimethinecamphorsulfonic acid derivatives such as, for example, 3,3′-(1,4-phenylenedimethine)bis(7,7-dimethyl-2-oxobicyclo[2.2.1]-heptane-1-methanesulfonic acid and its salts

[0038] dibenzoylmethane derivatives, preferably 4-isopropyldibenzoylmethane, 4-(tert-butyl)-4′-methoxydibenzoylmethane

[0039] phenylene-1,4-bis(2-benzimidazyl)-3,3′,5,5′-tetrasulfonic acid and its sodium, potassium and triethanolammonium salts, in particular the disodium salt [Neo Heliopan AP (Haarmann & Reimer)].

[0040] Furthermore, it can optionally be advantageous according to the invention to provide the preparations with further UVA and/or UVB filters, for example certain salicylic acid derivatives such as 4-isopropylbenzyl salicylate, 2-ethylhexyl salicylate, octyl salicylate and homomenthyl salicylate.

[0041] Further light screen filter substances to be advantageously used according to the invention are ethylhexyl 2-cyano-3,3-diphenyl acrylate (octocrylene), which is obtainable from BASF under the name UVINUL® N 539, and 2,2′-methylene-bis(6-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenol).

[0042] These further UV light screen filters which are advantageous according to the invention are preferably employed in a concentration of from 0.1 to 20% by weight, in particular in a concentration of from 0.5 to 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the formulation.

[0043] According to the invention, the cosmetic and/or dermatological light screen formulations can have the customary composition and can be used for cosmetic and/or dermatological light protection, further for the treatment, the care and the cleansing of the skin and/or the hair and as a makeup in decorative cosmetics.

[0044] For use, the cosmetic and/or dermatological preparations are applied according to the invention to the skin and/or the hair in sufficient amount in the manner customary for cosmetics.

[0045] The cosmetic and/or dermatological preparations can, according to the invention, contain pigments (e.g. TiO2, ZnO, BaSO4) which have a coloring action and/or can be employed advantageously according to the invention as inorganic light screen filters. Further excipients according to the invention are fats, oils, waxes or other customary constituents of a cosmetic or dermatological formulation such as alcohols, polymers, foam stabilizers, electrolytes, organic solvents or silicone derivatives.
