The invention relates to a cosmetic product comprising a metal can composed of a container part with rotation thread (container thread), in the interior of which a cosmetic preparation is kept, and also a lid part made of metal with a thread (lid thread), wherein the lid part is unscrewable and screwable onto the container part in a closing manner by means of the lid thread and the container thread via rotational movement, i.e., designed to be openable and recloseable via a screw closure.
Cosmetic products comprising metal cans having contents, for example creams, fats and the like, have been used for at least a hundred years.
These known tin cans are disadvantageous in that either the choice of the wall material is limited, since screwing movement of the lid on the container part almost inevitably results in abrasion, which leads to unsightly signs of soiling, or containers without screw threads have to be chosen, which, however, can lead to leakage problems.
It is an object of the invention to provide a metal can having a profile edge which has a circular plane-surface and is especially suitable for sealing and, at the same time, does not exhibit the described disadvantages of the prior art.
These objects are achieved according to the invention by a cosmetic product comprising a metal can comprising
Advantageously, the preparation (Z) contains up to 20% by weight of lipophilic substances, of which the weight ratios of the components ee) to ff) expediently vary in the range between 20 to 80 to 50 to 50, preferably between 30 to 70 to 45 to 55.
Spreading is the property of low-viscosity oils, which property is often desired, though also often undesired in other situations, and is predominantly based on capillary forces, to be particularly easily distributed as a thin layer on substrates or else on the skin. This may be advantageous in skincare. This property may have a disadvantageous effect in the packaging of such oils or preparations containing said oils. A measure of spreading capacity is the spreading coefficient, which, for example, assumes particularly high values in defoamers and foam inhibitors.
Barry and Grace developed a method for determining spreading behavior (J. Pharmac. Sci. 61, 335 [1972] and Beyer developed a model test system for testing spreading behavior (Arch. Pharm. [Weinh.] 310, 729 [1977]; Chem. Abstr. 88, No. 12-79017 [1978]). Beyer further reports on the model-based spreading of ointments in Arch. Pharm. 310, 473 and 858 (1977); Zbl. Pharm. 118, 51 (1979). Pascale et. al. report on the spreading capacity of various liquid excipients based on fats or fat-like substances (Cosmet. Toiletries 100, No. 10, 75 [1985]).
The measurement unit of the spreading coefficient is that of the quotient formed from the spreading surface, across which the spreading takes place, and the spreading time, within which the spreading takes place. It is usually specified in [mm2/10 minutes].
Within the context of the present disclosure, the expression “lipids” is occasionally used as an umbrella term for fats, oils, waxes and the like, as is thoroughly familiar to a person skilled in the art. The terms “oil phase” and “lipid phase” are also used synonymously.
A metal can that is advantageous according to the invention has a sufficiently broad, planar surface on the upper edge for sealing, meaning that overlays can be firmly sealed onto the can in a manner known per se.
To this end, a flexible film composed of metal, plastic or their composite, for example, is sealed onto the filled can by means of heat sealing or ultrasound, the inner protective coating applied before the shaping of the can having thermoplastically sealable or ultrasound-weldable properties.
It is also possible to subsequently apply a suitable sealing material, such as high-melting-point wax, adhesive, coating or the like, to the annular plane-surface of the profile edge of the final-shape can, onto which the film is sealed, for example by pressure, heat, thermal radiation, ultrasound or the like, it also being possible to use a combination of these measures, as is part of the prior art. The sealed can can then be closed with a lid in a customary manner.
Advantageously, an inner protective lining, composed especially of a sealable coating or the like, is applied to the inner side of the can in a manner known per se, said inner protective lining advantageously already being applied before the shaping of the can and the rolled edge. According to a preferred embodiment, a bead runs laterally around the can, which bead serves for the stiffening of said can and possibly as a stop for a lid to be fitted, as is known per se. Further beads or other beads can be provided in a manner known per se. Moreover, the base of the can according to the invention is advantageously slightly inwardly curved, but can also be planar if desired.
Aluminum or an aluminum alloy is advantageously used as material for the can according to the invention, though also suitable is sheet steel that has been surface-treated, such as tin-plated, chrome-plated, aluminized, finished, plastics-coated, etc.
The cans according to the invention can be produced in a manner known per se.
The cosmetic or dermatological preparations according to the invention can be composed as is customary and can serve for the treatment, the care and the cleansing of skin and/or of hair and as makeup product in decorative cosmetics. They contain preferably from 0.001% by weight to 10% by weight, preferably from 0.05% by weight to 5% by weight, especially from 0.1-2.0% by weight, based on the total weight of the preparations, of active-ingredient combinations used according to the invention.
For use, the cosmetic or dermatological preparations are, according to the invention, applied in a sufficient amount to skin and/or hair in the manner customary for cosmetics.
Cosmetic and dermatological preparations according to the invention can be present in various forms. For example, they can be a solution, an anhydrous preparation, a water-in-oil (W/O) or oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion or microemulsion, a multiple emulsions, for example a water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsion, a gel, a solid stick, an ointment or else an aerosol. It is also advantageous to administer isoquercitrin in encapsulated form, for example encapsulated in collagen matrices and other customary encapsulation materials, for example as cellulose encapsulations, in gelatin, wax matrices or liposomally. Wax matrices in particular, as described in DE-OS 43 08 282, have been found to be favorable.
It is also possible and advantageous in the context of the present invention to include active-ingredient combinations used according to the invention in aqueous systems or surfactant preparations for the cleansing of skin and of hair.
