20150238391
The present invention generally relates to a solid cosmetic agent, and more particularly relates to an agent for lightening or bleaching keratinic fibers, preferably human hair. The cosmetic agent is characterized by a content of fatty substances and carrier materials. Efficient lightening results with reduced hair damage and lower scalp irritation can be achieved in this way.
Changing the shape and color of the hair is an important area of modern cosmetics. It allows the appearance of the hair to be adapted both to the latest fashion trends and to the personal preferences of the individual. The basic principles of bleaching methods are known to the person skilled in the art and are described in relevant monographs.
For the bleaching of human hair, solid or paste-like preparations with solid oxidizing agents are conventionally mixed immediately before application with a dilute hydrogen peroxide solution. This mixture is then applied to the hair and rinsed out again after a certain contact time. The contact time on the hair in order to achieve complete lightening is between around 30 and 60 minutes. It is obvious that there is a need among users of these bleaching agents to reduce this contact time. To achieve an adequate bleaching effect, such agents are conventionally made highly alkaline; the pH is between 9 and 11.5. Such high pH values are necessary to ensure that the external cuticle opens and to allow the active species (hydrogen peroxide) to penetrate into the hair.
As well as having a bleaching effect, however, the use of oxidizing agents and the alkaline pH cause damage to the hair structure and to the surface of the hair. The hair becomes brittle, its elasticity decreases and it becomes less easy to comb. The splaying of the external cuticle leads moreover to an unpleasant surface sensitivity of the hair, making it more difficult to comb when wet and dry. Furthermore, alkalizing agents and oxidizing agents can lead to irritation and inflammation of the scalp, especially in sensitive users. For the consumer there is therefore a greater need to use additional conditioning or caring post-treatment agents.
The care agents which are used are mostly not sufficiently stable under the aggressive conditions (strong oxidizing agents, high pH) of the lightening preparation and of the cream preparations which are customary in the prior art (mostly with pH>11). Therefore the bleaching step and the conditioning agents usually have to follow on from one another. In the interests of convenience of use, however, a single-stage bleaching process, which already contains corresponding care agents, is particularly advantageous. There is therefore a need for bleaching agents which through the addition of stable care components to the application preparation lead to a decrease in hair damage and to reduced skin irritation.
German patent application DE 10 2009 054 763 A1 teaches the use of non-ionic surfactants and ester oils to improve the care effect of bleaching agents. German patent application DE 42 07 475 A1 describes bleaching agents which in addition to a starch powder additionally contain a fatty substance to reduce dust formation during production and use. The technical solutions described in these documents still leave room for improvement.
A solid cosmetic agent, containing at least one fatty substance a) having a melting point below 20° C.; at least one powdery organic carrier material b); and at least one cosmetic active agent c) that is different from a) and b), characterized in that the liquid fatty substance a) and the powdery organic carrier material b) are in the form of a powdery aggregate A, the proportion by weight of the liquid fatty substance a) relative to the total weight of this powdery aggregate A being higher than the proportion by weight of the liquid fatty substance a) relative to the total weight of the solid cosmetic agent.
A method for producing a solid cosmetic agent containing at least one fatty substance a) having a melting point below 20° C.; at least one powdery organic carrier material b); and at least one cosmetic active agent c) that is different from a) and b), characterized in that a powdery aggregate A, comprising at least one liquid fatty substance a) and at least one powdery organic carrier material b) is provided; and the aggregate A from step i) is mixed with at least one cosmetic active agent c).
The following detailed description of the invention is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the invention or the application and uses of the invention. Furthermore, there is no intention to be bound by any theory presented in the preceding background of the invention or the following detailed description of the invention.
The object of the present invention is therefore to reduce the aforementioned disadvantages of oxidative lightening and/or bleaching agents for human hair. The lightening agents protect the hair, thereby leading to reduced damage to the hair. In particular, the agents impart greater elasticity and softness to the hair, along with improved shine. Furthermore, scalp irritation should be reduced. At the same time, however, the reduction in damage to the hair during lightening should not be achieved at the expense of a reduced lightening capacity of the agents.
It has been found that by using carrier-bound fatty substances in bleaching agents, the hair-damaging effect of such agents can be considerably reduced.
Furthermore, other desirable features and characteristics of the present invention will become apparent from the subsequent detailed description of the invention and the appended claims, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and this background of the invention.

The cosmetic agents particularly preferably contain as the fatty substance a) a mixture of an amino-functionalized silicone and a non-amino-functionalized silicone.
As a second essential constituent the agents according to the invention contain a powdery organic carrier material. The proportion by weight of the powdery organic carrier material b) relative to the total weight of the solid cosmetic agent is 0.2 to 10 wt. %, preferably 0.5 to 6.0 wt. % and in particular 1.0 to 4.0 wt. %.
Starch is suitable in particular as the organic carrier material b). Solid cosmetic agents characterized in that the powdery organic carrier material b) is selected from the group of starches are preferred according to the invention.
Starch is a reserve carbohydrate which is stored by many plants in the form of starch grains of conventionally 1 to 200 μm in size in various parts of the plant, for example in tubers or roots, cereal seeds, fruits and in the pith. A starch that can be used according to the invention can be obtained for example from potatoes, maize, rice, peas, acorns, chestnuts, barley, wheat, bananas, sago, millet, sorghum, oats, barley, rye, beans, yams, arrowroot or cassava.
Starch belongs to the homoglycan family and is a polycondensation product of D-glucose. Starch consists of three structurally different polymers of d-glucopyranose, namely amylose, amylopectin and an intermediate fraction. Vascular plants contain 0 to 45 wt. % of amylose relative to dry matter. In structural terms the intermediate fraction, which is also known as abnormal amylopectin, is between amylose and amylopectin.
In the context of this application the term “aggregate” refers to an aggregation of fatty substance a) and carrier material b) based on absorption and/or adsorption. The proportion by weight of the powdery aggregate A relative to the total weight of the solid cosmetic agent is preferably 0.5 to 10 wt. %, in particular 1.0 to 8.0 wt. %.
For the production and use of cosmetic agents according to the invention and for the desired care effect it has proved advantageous to use the fatty substance a) and the organic carrier material b) in specific weight ratios. Preferred cosmetic agents according to the invention are therefore characterized in that the weight ratio of liquid fatty substance a) to powdery organic carrier material b) in the powdery aggregate A is 2:1 to 1:20, preferably 1:1 to 1:12 and in particular 1:2 to 1:8.
As a further essential constituent the cosmetic agents according to the invention contain at least one cosmetic active agent c) that is different from the fatty substance a) and the carrier material b). As stated in the introductory part, the agents according to the invention are suitable in particular for gentle hair bleaching. Preferred cosmetic active agents c) are therefore selected from the group of constituents that are typical for hair bleaching agents, in particular from the group of bleaching agents, alkaline carriers, complexing agents and surfactants.
Preferred agents according to the invention contain as the cosmetic active agent c) at least one persulfate salt, preferably selected from the group of potassium peroxodisulfate, sodium peroxodisulfate and ammonium peroxodisulfate, as a bleaching strength intensifier. In the work on the present invention it has furthermore proved particularly preferable for the bleaching powder to contain at least two different peroxodisulfates. Preferred peroxodisulfate salts are combinations of ammonium peroxodisulfate and potassium peroxodisulfate and/or sodium peroxodisulfate. Preferred cosmetic agents contain 10 to 60 wt. %, preferably 15 to 55 wt. % and in particular 20 to 50 wt. % of an oxidizing agent, preferably a persulfate.
To further increase the lightening capacity at least one optionally hydrated SiO2 compound can be added to the agents according to the invention. The lightening capacity can be increased significantly in this way. Preferred optionally hydrated SiO2 compounds are silicic acids, oligomers and polymers thereof and salts thereof, in particular sodium salts, and water glasses formed from a silicate of the formula (SiO2)n(Na2O)m(K2O)p, where n denotes a positive rational number and m and p independently of one another denote a positive rational number or 0, with the provisos that at least one of the parameters m or p is different from 0 and that the ratio of n to the sum of m and p is between 1:4 and 4:1. Metasilicates, which are characterized according to the formula above by a ratio of n to the sum of m and p of ≦1 and which can be regarded as chain-like polymeric structures of the anion [SiO3]2−, can also preferably be used. Sodium metasilicate of the formula [NaSiO3]x is particularly preferred. However, particularly preferred bleaching powders additionally contain at least silicon dioxide (silicic acid; silica gel). Preferred cosmetic agents are characterized in that they contain, relative to their total weight, 10 to 60 wt. %, preferably 15 to 55 wt. % and in particular 20 to 50 wt. % of a silicate.
Moreover, preferred cosmetic agents additionally contain a solid alkalizing agent. Alkalizing agents that can be used are selected from inorganic salts, in particular alkali and alkaline-earth metals, and solid, organic alkalizing agents, in particular basic amino acids. The preferred inorganic alkalizing agents according to the invention are preferably selected from the group of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, barium hydroxide, sodium phosphate, potassium phosphate, sodium silicate, potassium silicate, sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate and mixtures thereof. The cosmetic agent contains the solid alkalizing agent preferably in amounts from 0.2 to 25 wt. %, in particular 0.5 to 10 wt. %, relative in each case to the total weight of the cosmetic agent.
It has proved advantageous according to the invention to formulate the cosmetic agent to be anhydrous. Anhydrous within the meaning of the present invention means a water content relative to the cosmetic agent of less than 5 wt. %, in particular less than 2 wt. %. Cosmetic agents containing less than 0.1 wt. % of water can be most particularly preferred according to the invention.

It is likewise possible according to the invention to use mixtures of fatty alcohols obtained by selective mixing or obtained per se by extraction methods. Examples are coconut alcohol (mixture of C8-C18 fatty alcohols) or cetearyl alcohol (1:1 mixture of C16 and C18 fatty alcohols).

All that has been stated in respect of the agents according to the invention applies with necessary alterations to further preferred embodiments of the method according to the invention and of the use according to the invention.
Unless otherwise specified, the amounts given in the examples are percentages by weight. The following preparations were produced:
Raw materials: Eumulgade F (INCI name: Cetearyl Alcohol, PEG-40 Castor Oil, Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate); Portil N (INCI name: Sodium Silicate; Cognis); Rohagit S hv (INCI name: Acrylates Copolymer; Evonik); Celquat L200 (INCI name: Polyquatemium-4; National Starch); DC XX-4820 powder (16 wt. % silicone on starch carrier).
The bleaching agent C1 according to the invention was obtained by mixing preparations A and B1 in the ratio 2:1. To produce the bleaching agent C2 preparations A and B2 were mixed together in the ratio 2:1.
To assess the wet combability, 12 hair strands in each case (Kerling 6/0) were first washed with a 3% aqueous surfactant solution and stored for 24 hours at 25° C. with 25% humidity and then treated for 45 minutes at 35° C. with 4 g of bleaching agent C1 or C2 in each case.
Following treatment with bleaching agents C1 and C2 the strands were rinsed with water under standard conditions (water temperature 32° C., 0.51/min). The strands were then each combed automatically ten times, while determining the energy expended. The averaged measuring results are set out in the table below.
