This application is a 371 of PCT/EP02/04375 filed Apr. 20, 2002.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to the field of cosmetology and, more particularly, to the use of quaternized and optionally non-quaternized fatty acid amidoamines for the production of cosmetic preparations, more especially hair-care preparations.
2. Prior Art
Cationic surfactants generally have the property of being absorbed onto negatively charged keratin fibers. In the process, they have a repelling effect between the fibers with the result that the hair is easier to comb, shows reduced electrostatic charging and, on the whole, feels softer. Occasionally luster is also improved. Although, as already mentioned, this is a more or less generic property of cationic surfactants, the effects to be obtained are of course dependent to a large extent on the structure of the species used or the successful mixing thereof. Since there are thought to be a virtually unlimited number of cationically charged surfactants, there is no need whatever for them to be permutated with one another in order to open up an enormous range of possibilities in which to be able at any time to find new preparations having interesting or even specially “tailored” properties.
The development of modern cosmetic preparations, particularly hair care preparations, is now way beyond the known “two-in-one” principle. “Three-in-one” products have long been on the market and the current trend is towards what would gladly be termed as “all-in-one”, In other words, there is a desire to develop preparations which, on the one hand, would produce many, in some cases very different, effects but which, on the other hand, would contain few ingredients so that the formulations would be easy to produce and affordable to the consumer. It goes without saying that such preparations cannot be obtained simply by mixing standard commercial products, otherwise such products would long since have appeared on the market. Rather is it necessary to identify within the group of known cationic surfactants those representatives which have the required property profile, if possible on their own, but preferably in the form of a synergistic mixture with other components.
In the present case, the problem addressed by the invention was to provide transparent cosmetic preparations, more especially for hair care and particularly for conditioning the hair, which would allow the storage- and temperature-stable incorporation both of silicone oils and of antidandruff agents. At the same time, the softness and antistatic finishing of the hair would at least reach the level of the prior art.
The present invention relates to the use of quaternized fatty acid amidoamines for the production of cosmetic preparations.
It has surprisingly been found that quaternized fatty acid amidoamines, preferably those which contain non-quaternized components from their production, satisfy the desired requirement profile. The preparations are transparent during production and do not cloud, even in the event of storage. Both silicone oils and antidandruff agents can be stably incorporated even in relatively high concentrations and are not secreted again, even after storage for 4 weeks at 40° C. The treated hair shows excellent softness and is easier to comb—in some cases more so than in the prior art.
Quaternized Fatty Acid Amidoamines
Quaternized fatty acid amidoamines are known substances which may be obtained in known manner, for example by reaction of fatty acids with polyfunctional amines and subsequent quaternization of the free amine functions. Substances preferably used correspond to formula (I):
in which R1CO is a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated acyl group containing 6 to 22 carbon atoms, R2 and R3 independently of one another represent hydrogen, an optionally hydroxysubstituted alkyl group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R4 is an alkyl group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, A is a linear or branched alkylene group containing 2 to 4 carbon atoms, n is 1 or 2 and X represents halide, alkyl sulfate or alkyl phosphate. With regard to the fatty acids, the cationic compounds may be derived from caproic acid, caprylic acid, 2-ethylhexanoic acid, capric acid, lauric acid, isotridecanoic acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, stearic acid, isostearic acid, oleic acid, elaidic acid, petroselic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, elaeostearic acid, arachic acid, gadoleic acid, behenic acid and erucic acid and technical mixtures thereof, quaternized fatty acid amidoamines based on coconut oil fatty acids being preferred. Other preferred cationic compounds are those of which the amide component is derived from ethylenediamine, propylenediamine, diethylenetriamine, dipropylenetriamine, aminoethyl ethanolamine and, in particular, N,N-dimethyl aminopropylamine and mixtures thereof. With regard to the choice of the fourth substituent at the amine nitrogen, there is a preference for methyl or chloride. Overall preference is attributed to quaternized fatty acid amidoamines which combine the individual structural features mentioned as preferred.
A preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized by the use of quaternized fatty acid amidoamines which still partly contain non-quaternized starting materials so that, ultimately, mixtures of quaternized and non-quaternized fatty acid amidoamines in a ratio by weight of 99.9:0.1 to 10:90 are used. However, a ratio of 75:25 to 25:75 and, more especially, 60:40 to 40:60 has proved to be particularly advantageous from the performance perspective because synergistic increases in performance are observed with ratios in those ranges.
Fatty Alcohols and Fatty Alcohol Polyglycol Ethers
In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the quaternized fatty acid amidoamines are used together with fatty alcohols and/or fatty alcohol polyglycol ethers. For example, particularly stable emulsions and creams for treating and, more particularly, conditioning the hair can be obtained in this way. The fatty alcohols or fatty alcohol polyglycol ethers preferably correspond to formula (II):
R5O(CH2CH2O)mH (11)
in which R5 is a linear or branched alkyl and/or alkenyl group containing 6 to 22 and preferably 12 to 18 carbon atoms and m is 0 or a number of 1 to 20 and preferably 10 to 15. Typical examples are caproic alcohol, caprylic alcohol, capric alcohol, lauryl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, isostearyl alcohol, oleyl alcohol, elaidyl alcohol, petroselinyl alcohol, arachyl alcohol, gadoleyl alcohol, behenyl alcohol and erucyl alcohol and technical mixtures thereof such as, for example, cocoalcohol or cetearyl alcohol and ethylene oxide addition products thereof. The fatty acid amidoamines on the one hand and the fatty alcohols or fatty alcohol polyglycol ethers on the other hand may be used in a ratio by weight of 90:10 to 10:90 and are preferably used in a ratio by weight of 35:65 to 50:50.
Silicone Oils and Antidandruff Agents
As mentioned at the beginning, a particular concern of the invention is the stable incorporation of silicone oils and antidandruff agents which, normally, are very difficult to incorporate in emulsions and have a tendency to separate out in the event of prolonged storage, particularly under the influence of temperature.
Suitable silicone oils are, for example, dimethyl polysiloxanes, methylphenyl polysiloxanes, cyclic silicones and amino-, fatty acid-, alcohol-, polyether-, epoxy-, fluorine-, glycoside- and/or alkyl-modified silicone compounds which may be both liquid and resin-like at room temperature. Other suitable silicone oils are simethicones which are mixtures of dimethicones with an average chain length of 200 to 300 dimethylsiloxane units and hydrogenated silicates. A detailed overview of suitable volatile silicones can be found in Todd et al. in Cosm. Toil. 91, 27 (1976). The silicone oils may be used in quantities of 1 to 20 and preferably 5 to 15% by weight, based on the preparations.
Suitable antidandruff agents are Pirocton Olamin (1-hydroxy-4-methyl-6-(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)-2-(1H)-pyridinone monoethanolamine salt), Baypival® (Climbazole), Ketoconazol® (4-acetyl-1-{4-[2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl) r-2-(1H-imidazol-1-ylmethyl)-1,3-dioxylan-c-4-ylmethoxyphenyl}-piperazine, ketoconazole, elubiol, selenium disulfide, colloidal sulfur, sulfur polyethylene glycol sorbitan monooleate, sulfur ricinol polyethoxylate, sulfur tar distillate, salicylic acid (or in combination with hexachlorophene), undecylenic acid, monoethanolamide sulfosuccinate Na salt, Lamepon® UD (protein/undecylenic acid condensate), zinc pyrithione, aluminium pyrithione and magnesium pyrithione/dipyrithione magnesium sulfate. The antidandruff agents may be used in quantities of 0.1 to 2% by weight and are preferably used in quantities of 0.5 to 1.5% by weight, based on the preparations.
Commercial Applications
The present invention also relates to the use of the quaternized fatty acid amidoamines for the production of hair care preparations, more particularly hair conditioners, preferably those in the form of emulsions, which are, in particular, hair creams that may contain the cationic surfactants in quantities of 1 to 30, preferably 2 to 20 and more particularly 5 to 15% by weight, based on the preparations. Finally, the present invention relates to the use of the quaternized fatty acid amidoamines for the production of hair care preparations, more particularly those in the form of emulsions.

Emulsifiers
Suitable emulsifiers are, for example, nonionic surfactants from at least one of the following groups:
Ethylene Oxide Addition Products
Alkyl and/or Alkenyl Oligoglycosides
Partial Glycerides
Sorbitan Esters
Polyglycerol Esters
Anionic Emulsifiers
Amphoteric and Cationic Emulsifiers
Typical examples of fats are glycerides, i.e. solid or liquid, vegetable or animal products which consist essentially of mixed glycerol esters of higher fatty acids. Suitable waxes are inter alia natural waxes such as, for example, candelilla wax, carnauba wax, Japan wax, espartograss wax, cork wax, guaruma wax, rice oil wax, sugar cane wax, ouricury wax, montan wax, beeswax, shellac wax, spermaceti, lanolin (wool wax), uropygial fat, ceresine, ozocerite (earth wax), petrolatum, paraffin waxes and microwaxes; chemically modified waxes (hard waxes) such as, for example, montan ester waxes, sasol waxes, hydrogenated jojoba waxes and synthetic waxes such as, for example, polyalkylene waxes and polyethylene glycol waxes. Besides the fats, other suitable additives are fat-like substances, such as lecithins and phospholipids. Lecithins are known among experts as glycerophospholipids which are formed from fatty acids, glycerol, phosphoric acid and choline by esterification. Accordingly, lecithins are also frequently referred to by experts as phosphatidyl cholines (PCs). Examples of natural lecithins are the kephalins which are also known as phosphatidic acids and which are derivatives of 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphoric acids. By contrast, phospholipids are generally understood to be mono- and preferably diesters of phosphoric acid with glycerol (glycerophosphates) which are normally classed as fats. Sphingosines and sphingolipids are also suitable.
Pearlizing Waxes
Suitable pearlizing waxes are, for example, alkylene glycol esters, especially ethylene glycol distearate; fatty acid alkanolamides, especially cocofatty acid diethanolamide; partial glycerides, especially stearic acid monoglyceride; esters of polybasic, optionally hydroxysubstituted carboxylic acids with fatty alcohols containing 6 to 22 carbon atoms, especially long-chain esters of tartaric acid; fatty compounds, such as for example fatty alcohols, fatty ketones, fatty aldehydes, fatty ethers and fatty carbonates which contain in all at least 24 carbon atoms, especially laurone and distearylether; fatty acids, such as stearic acid, hydroxystearic acid or behenic acid, ring opening products of olefin epoxides containing 12 to 22 carbon atoms with fatty alcohols containing 12 to 22 carbon atoms and/or polyols containing 2 to 15 carbon atoms and 2 to 10 hydroxyl groups and mixtures thereof.
Consistency Factors and Thickeners
The consistency factors mainly used are fatty alcohols or hydroxyfatty alcohols containing 12 to 22 and preferably 16 to 18 carbon atoms and also partial glycerides, fatty acids or hydroxyfatty acids. A combination of these substances with alkyl oligoglucosides and/or fatty acid N-methyl glucamides of the same chain length and/or polyglycerol poly-12-hydroxystearates is preferably used. Suitable thickeners are, for example, Aerosil® types (hydrophilic silicas), polysaccharides, more especially xanthan gum, guar-guar, agar-agar, alginates and tyloses, carboxymethyl cellulose and hydroxyethyl and hydroxypropyl cellulose, also relatively high molecular weight polyethylene glycol monoesters and diesters of fatty acids, polyacrylates (for example Carbopols® and Pemulen types [Goodrich]; Synthalens® [Sigma]; Keltrol types [Kelco]; Sepigel types [Seppic]; Salcare types [Allied Colloids]), polyacrylamides, polymers, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl pyrrolidone. Other consistency factors which have proved to be particularly effective are bentonites, for example Bentone® Gel VS-5PC (Rheox) which is a mixture of cyclopentasiloxane, Disteardimonium Hectorite and propylene carbonate. Other suitable consistency factors are surfactants such as, for example, ethoxylated fatty acid glycerides, esters of fatty acids with polyols, for example pentaerythritol or trimethylol propane, narrow-range fatty alcohol ethoxylates or alkyl oligoglucosides and electrolytes, such as sodium chloride and ammonium chloride.
Superfatting Agents
Superfatting agents may be selected from such substances as, for example, lanolin and lecithin and also polyethoxylated or acylated lanolin and lecithin derivatives, polyol fatty acid esters, monoglycerides and fatty acid alkanolamides, the fatty acid alkanolamides also serving as foam stabilizers.
Stabilizers
Metal salts of fatty acids such as, for example, magnesium, aluminium and/or zinc stearate or ricinoleate may be used as stabilizers.
Polymers
Suitable cationic polymers are, for example, cationic cellulose derivatives such as, for example, the quaternized hydroxyethyl cellulose obtainable from Amerchol under the name of Polymer JR 400®, cationic starch, copolymers of diallyl ammonium salts and acrylamides, quaternized vinyl pyrrolidone/vinyl imidazole polymers such as, for example, Luviquat® (BASF), condensation products of polyglycols and amines, quaternized collagen polypeptides such as, for example, Lauryldimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Collagen (Lamequat® L, Grünau), quaternized wheat polypeptides, polyethyleneimine, cationic silicone polymers such as, for example, amodimethicone, copolymers of adipic acid and dimethylamino-hydroxypropyl diethylenetriamine (Cartaretine®, Sandoz), copolymers of acrylic acid with dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride (Merquat® 550, Chemviron), polyaminopolyamides as described, for example, in FR 2252840 A and crosslinked water-soluble polymers thereof, cationic chitin derivatives such as, for example, quaternized chitosan, optionally in micro-crystalline distribution, condensation products of dihaloalkyls, for example dibromobutane, with bis-dialkylamines, for example bis-dimethylamino-1,3-propane, cationic guar gum such as, for example, Jaguar®CBS, Jaguar®C-17, Jaguar®C-16 of Celanese, quaternized ammonium salt polymers such as, for example, Mirapol® A-15, Mirapol® AD-1, Mirapol® AZ-1 of Miranol.

Other suitable polymers and thickeners can be found in Cosm. Toil., 108, 95 (1993).
UV Protection Factors and Antioxidants
UV protection factors in the context of the invention are, for example, organic substances (light filters) which are liquid or crystalline at room temperature and which are capable of absorbing ultraviolet radiation and of releasing the energy absorbed in the form of longer-wave radiation, for example heat. UV-B filters can be oil-soluble or water-soluble. The following are examples of oil-soluble substances:
Suitable water-soluble substances are
Typical UV-A filters are, in particular, derivatives of benzoyl methane such as, for example, 1-(4′-tert.butylphenyl)-3-(4′-methoxyphenyl)-propane-1,3-dione, 4-tert.butyl-4′-methoxydibenzoyl methane (Parsol 1789) or 1-phenyl-3-(4′-isopropylphenyl)-propane-1,3-dione and the enamine compounds described in DE 19712033 A1 (BASF). The UV-A and UV-B filters may of course also be used in the form of mixtures. Particularly favorable combinations consist of the derivatives of benzoyl methane, for example 4-tert.butyl-4′-methoxydibenzoylmethane (Parsol® 1789) and 2-cyano-3,3-phenylcinnamic acid-2-ethyl hexyl ester (Octocrylene) in combination with esters of cinnamic acid, preferably 4-methoxycinnamic acid-2-ethyl hexyl ester and/or 4-methoxycinnamic acid propyl ester and/or 4-methoxycinnamic acid isoamyl ester. Combinations such as these are advantageously combined with water-soluble filters such as, for example, 2-phenylbenzimidazole-5-sulfonic acid and alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium, alkylammonium, alkanolammonium and glucammonium salts thereof.
Besides the soluble substances mentioned, insoluble light-blocking pigments, i.e. finely dispersed metal oxides or salts, may also be used for this purpose. Examples of suitable metal oxides are, in particular, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide and also oxides of iron, zirconium oxide, silicon, manganese, aluminium and cerium and mixtures thereof. Silicates (talcum), barium sulfate and zinc stearate may be used as salts. The oxides and salts are used in the form of the pigments for skin-care and skin-protecting emulsions and decorative cosmetics. The particles should have a mean diameter of less than 100 nm, preferably between 5 and 50 nm and more preferably between 15 and 30 nm. They may be spherical in shape although ellipsoidal particles or other non-spherical particles may also be used. The pigments may also be surface-treated, i.e. hydrophilicized or hydrophobicized. Typical examples are coated titanium dioxides, for example Titandioxid T 805 (Degussa) and Eusolex®) T2000 (Merck). Suitable hydrophobic coating materials are, above all, silicones and, among these, especially trialkoxyoctylsilanes or simethicones. So-called micro- or nanopigments are preferably used in sun protection products. Micronized zinc oxide is preferably used. Other suitable UV filters can be found in P. Finkel's review in SÖFW-Journal 122, 543 (1996) and in Parf. Kosm. 3, 11 (1999).
Besides the two groups of primary sun protection factors mentioned above, secondary sun protection factors of the antioxidant type may also be used. Secondary sun protection factors of the antioxidant type interrupt the photochemical reaction chain which is initiated when UV rays penetrate into the skin.

Deodorants and Germ Inhibitors
Cosmetic deodorants counteract, mask or eliminate body odors. Body odors are formed through the action of skin bacteria on apocrine perspiration which results in the formation of unpleasant-smelling degradation products. Accordingly, deodorants contain active principles which act as germ inhibitors, enzyme inhibitors, odor absorbers or odor maskers.
Germ Inhibitors

A suitable self-tanning agent is dihydroxyacetone. Suitable tyrosine inhibitors which prevent the formation of melanin and are used in depigmenting agents are, for example, arbutin, ferulic acid, koji acid, coumaric acid and ascorbic acid (vitamin C).
Hydrotropes
In addition, hydrotropes, for example ethanol, isopropyl alcohol or polyols, may be used to improve flow behavior. Suitable polyols preferably contain 2 to 15 carbon atoms and at least two hydroxyl groups. The polyols may contain other functional groups, more especially amino groups, or may be modified with nitrogen. Typical examples are
Suitable preservatives are, for example, phenoxyethanol, formaldehyde solution, parabens, pentanediol or sorbic acid and the silver complexes known under the name of Surfacine® and the other classes of compounds listed in Appendix 6, Parts A and B of the Kosmetikverordnung (“Cosmetics Directive”).

Suitable alcohols are anethol, citronellol, eugenol, isoeugenol, geraniol, linalool, phenylethyl alcohol and terpineol. The hydrocarbons mainly include the terpenes and balsams. However, it is preferred to use mixtures of different perfume compounds which, together, produce an agreeable perfume. Other suitable perfume oils are essential oils of relatively low volatility which are mostly used as aroma components. Examples are sage oil, camomile oil, clove oil, melissa oil, mint oil, cinnamon leaf oil, lime-blossom oil, juniper berry oil, vetiver oil, olibanum oil, galbanum oil, ladanum oil and lavendin oil. The following are preferably used either individually or in the form of mixtures: bergamot oil, dihydromyrcenol, lilial, lyral, citronellol, phenylethyl alcohol, α-hexylcinnamaldehyde, geraniol, benzyl acetone, cyclamen aldehyde, linalool, Boisambrene Forte, Ambroxan, indole, hedione, sandelice, citrus oil, mandarin oil, orange oil, allylamyl glycolate, cyclovertal, lavendin oil, clary oil, β-damascone, geranium oil bourbon, cyclohexyl salicylate, Vertofix Coeur, Iso-E-Super, Fixolide NP, evernyl, iraldein gamma, phenylacetic acid, geranyl acetate, benzyl acetate, rose oxide, romillat, irotyl and floramat.
Suitable aromas are, for example, peppermint oil, spearmint oil, aniseed oil, Japanese anise oil, caraway oil, eucalyptus oil, fennel oil, citrus oil, wintergreen oil, clove oil, menthol and the like.
Dyes
Suitable dyes are any of the substances suitable and approved for cosmetic purposes as listed, for example, in the publication “Kosmetische Färbemittel” of the Farbstoffkommission der Deutschen Forschungs-gemeinschaft, Verlag Chemie, Weinheim, 1984, pages 81 to 106. Examples include cochineal red A (C.I. 16255), patent blue V (C.I. 42051), indigotin (C.I. 73015), chlorophyllin (C.I. 75810), quinoline yellow (C.I. 47005), titanium dioxide (C.I. 77891), indanthrene blue RS(C.I. 69800) and madder lake (C.I. 58000). Luminol may also be present as a luminescent dye. These dyes are normally used in concentrations of 0.001 to 0.1% by weight, based on the mixture as a whole.
The total percentage content of auxiliaries and additives may be from 1 to 50% by weight and is preferably from 5 to 40% by weight, based on the particular preparations. The preparations may be produced by standard hot or cold processes and are preferably produced by the phase inversion temperature method.
Various emulsions containing silicone oils and active substances were tested for their stability. The fatty acid amidoamines used were all methyl-quaternized condensation products of cocofatty acid which were present as methosulfates and which only differed in their amide components, namely:
The results of the stability tests are set out in Table 1 where (+++)=no change, (++)=slight clouding, (+)=slight separations, (−)=distinct separations and (−−)=complete separation. Examples 1 to 11 correspond to the invention, Example C1 is intended for comparison.
