and

In the context of the present invention, the term “polyglycerol” is to be understood as meaning a polyglycerol which comprises glycerol. Consequently, for the purposes of calculating amounts, masses and the like, the glycerol fraction should also be taken into consideration. In the context of the present invention, polyglycerols are therefore mixtures of glycerol and at least one glycerol oligomer. Glycerol oligomers are to be understood in each case as meaning all corresponding structures, i.e., for example, linear and cyclic compounds.
The same applies to the term “polyglycerol ester” in connection with the present invention.
The stated number-average of the acid residues, in the case of more than one of carboxylic acid a), b) or c), refers in each case to the accumulated sum of all carboxylic acids a), b) or c).
The average degree of polymerization of the polyglycerol N is calculated via its hydroxyl number (OHN, in mg KOH/g) according to the following formula:
Suitable methods for determining the hydroxyl number are particularly those according to DGF C-V 17 a (53), Ph. Eur. 2.5.3 Method A and DIN 53240.
Unless otherwise stated, all percentages (%) given are percentages by weight.
Preferred compositions according to the invention are those in which the polyglycerol released after complete hydrolysis of the polyglycerol ester has a mass ratio of glycerol to diglycerol of greater than 1, preferably greater than 1.2, particularly preferably greater than 1.4.
Particularly preferred compositions according to the invention are those in which the polyglycerol released after complete hydrolysis of the polyglycerol ester according to the invention comprises
5% by weight to 30% by weight, preferably 7% by weight to 25% by weight, particularly preferably 10% by weight to 22% by weight, monoglycerol,
1% by weight to 25% by weight, preferably 3% by weight to 18% by weight, particularly preferably 5% by weight to 15% by weight, diglycerols,
1% by weight to 25% by weight, preferably 1% by weight to 20% by weight, particularly preferably 3% by weight to 17% by weight, triglycerols and
1% by weight to 20% by weight, preferably 2% by weight to 15% by weight, particularly preferably 4% by weight to 10% by weight, tetraglycerols,
where the percentages by weight refer to the total polyglycerol.
In this context, the polyglycerol released preferably has
≧70% by weight, preferably ≧75% by weight, particularly preferably ≧80% by weight, polyglycerols having a degree of polymerization of ≧2,
≧60% by weight, preferably ≧65% by weight, particularly preferably ≧70% by weight, polyglycerols having a degree of polymerization of ≧3,
≧50% by weight, preferably ≧55% by weight, particularly preferably ≧60% by weight, polyglycerols having a degree of polymerization of ≧4 and
≧40% by weight, preferably ≧45% by weight, particularly preferably ≧50% by weight, polyglycerols having a degree of polymerization of ≧5,
where the percentages by weight refer to the total polyglycerol.
The mass fraction of glycerol, diglycerol, triglycerol, tetraglycerol and of the fatty acids can be determined for the purposes of the present invention by two GC methods; these methods include the alkaline hydrolysis of the polyglycerol ester according to the invention, separation of the polyglycerol from the acids released and analysis of the fatty acids, and also of the glycerol oligomers (linear and cyclic).
For this, 0.5 g of the polyglycerol ester according to the invention is boiled in 25 ml of an ethanolic 0.5 M KOH solution under reflux for 4 hours. Then, 10 ml of water are added and the pH is adjusted to pH 2-3 with sulphuric acid. The resulting carboxylic acids are separated off by means of extraction three times with one volume (20 ml) of petroleum ether each time.
Fatty acid analysis:
The combined extracts are concentrated to about 1 ml by evaporation.
Suitable determination methods for ascertaining the fatty acid distribution are in particular those according to DGF C VI 11a, DGF C-VI 10a and GAT—ring test 7/99.
A 0.5 ml aliquot of the petroleum ether extract obtained as described above is treated in a vessel with 1 ml of a mixture of acetyl chloride:methanol (1:4) at boiling point for 30 min with exclusion of atmospheric moisture. The resulting fatty acid methyl esters are extracted twice with 5 ml of isooctane each time and analysed by GC. This is carried out in a gas chromatograph equipped with a split/splitless injector, a capillary column and a flame ionization detector, under the following conditions:
The carboxylic acids are separated as their methyl esters according to their carbon chain length and their mass fraction is determined according to an internal standard method. For this, the GC system is calibrated by analysing fatty acid methyl ester mixtures of the fatty acids to be investigated with known composition.
Using this method, the total mass and the mass fractions of carboxylic acid(s) are obtained, which permit a determination of the molar amount(s) by using the respective molecular weights. The total mass of carboxylic acid(s) can moreover be used to determine, by means of subtraction, the mass of polyglycerol present, for example, in 0.5 g of polyglycerol ester.
Using the molecular weight of the polyglycerol, the molar amount of the polyglycerol can be determined therefrom.
Together, the molar ratios of polyglycerol to carboxylic acids can be determined from these values.
Analysis of glycerol, diglycerols, triglycerols and tetraglycerols:
The residue extracted with petroleum ether is adjusted with barium hydroxide to pH 7 to 8. The precipitated barium sulphate is separated off by centrifugation.
The supernatant is drawn off and the residue is extracted three times with 20 ml of ethanol.
The combined supernatants are concentrated for 30 min at 80° C. and 50 mbar and dried.
For the analysis of glycerol, diglycerols, triglycerols and tetraglycerols by means of GC, the residue is dissolved in 2 ml of pyridine:chloroform (4:1). 0.5 ml of this solution is admixed with 1 ml of MSTFA [N-methyl-N-(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide]. The alcohols are quantitatively converted to their trimethylsilyl ethers by reaction at 80° C. (30 minutes) and then analysed by means of GC/FID.
This is carried out in a gas chromatograph equipped with a split/splitless injector, a capillary column and a flame ionization detector, under the following conditions:
Glycerol, diglycerols, triglycerols and tetraglycerols are separated and their mass fraction is determined by an internal standard method. For this, the GC system is calibrated by analysing mixtures of the glycerols to be investigated and of the internal standard with known composition.
The mass fractions can be used to determine the mass ratio of glycerol to diglycerol and, by subtraction from 100%, also the content of polyglycerols with a degree of polymerization of 2 and greater (100% minus mass fraction of the glycerol), the content of polyglycerols with a degree of polymerization of 3 and greater (100% minus mass fractions of the glycerol and of the diglycerols), the content of polyglycerols with a degree of polymerization of 4 and greater (100% minus mass fractions of the glycerol, the diglycerols and the triglycerols) and the content of polyglycerols with a degree of polymerization of 5 and greater (100% minus mass fractions of the glycerol, the diglycerols, the triglycerols and the tetraglycerols).
Should glycerol, but no detectable amount of diglycerol, be present in a polyglycerol under consideration, then this corresponds to a mass ratio of glycerol to diglycerol of greater than 1.4.

All concentrations in the application examples are given in percent by weight. Customary homogenization processes known to the person skilled in the art were used to produce the emulsions.
The emulsions were therefore produced typically by heating oil phase and water phase to 70-75° C. Subsequently, either the oil phase was stirred into the water phase, or oil phase and water phase were combined without stirring. The mixture was then homogenized using a suitable homogenizer (e.g. Ultraturrax) for about 1-2 minutes.
Stabilizing polymers were stirred into the emulsion at temperatures of 50-60° C., either as constituent of the oil phase (e.g. guar derivatives) or as an aqueous suspension (e.g. cellulose derivatives). The mixture was then briefly homogenized.
Addition of further ingredients (e.g. preservatives, active ingredients) was preferably carried out at 40° C. If the formulations were preserved with organic acids, the pH of the emulsions was adjusted to about 5.
1) Differentiation of Performance vs. the Prior Art
These experiments show that the emulsifiers according to the invention have advantages with regard to emulsion stability. As representatives of PEG-free O/W emulsifiers, the combination of Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate/Polyglyceryl-4 Laurate and Polyglyceryl-4 Laurate/Succinate (and) Aqua was selected in this case. In addition, an emulsifier according to EP2705832 was used in the formulations 1-8, 2-8 and 3-8, and an emulsifier according to WO2015132053 was used in formulations 1-8, 2-8 and 3-8.
To test the storage stability of the emulsions, these were stored for three months at room temperature and 40° C. To assess the low-temperature stability, moreover, they were stored for one month at −5° C., and three freeze-thaw cycles of 25° C./−15° C./25° C. were carried out. Considerable changes in the appearance or the consistency, and in particular oil or water separations, were weighted as criteria for instability.

C) O/W Deodorant emulsion comprising potassium alum
In all three comparative formulations from the application fields of antiperspirant/deodorant or roll-on deodorant comprising various active ingredients, the emulsifiers according to the invention allow the formulation of a stable emulsion, whereas the non-inventive emulsifiers and the representatives of the prior art do not enable any stable emulsions. The use of non-inventively modified guar and emulsifiers according to EP2705832 or WO2015132053 likewise leads to emulsions that are unstable on storage.
Formulations 1-2 and 1-9 were investigated with regard to their ability to form a yield point. The measurements were carried out using a rheometer from Anton Paar, model MCR 301, plate—plate (40 mm) geometry with a 1 mm gap at a temperature of 25° C. and 1 pressure bar. Storage modulus and loss modulus were determined for the emulsions prepared according to inventive formulation 1-2 or non-inventive formulation 1-9. The samples were analysed at a constant load of 0.02 Pa over the frequency range of 0.005 to 90 Hz. The rheological yield point is defined in that, in the measured frequency range, the storage modulus (G′) always has higher values than than the loss modulus (G″) (see
Further application examples beyond the antiperspirant/deodorant field.
These examples show that the compositions according to the invention can be used in a large number of cosmetic formulations.
