Description

"Surfactant-containing cosmetic cleanser with royal jelly"

The present invention relates to cosmetic cleansing compositions containing at least one mild anionic and at least one mild zwitterionic / amphoteric surfactant and lyophilized royal jelly, the use of the cleaning agent for cleaning and care of keratinic fibers and a method for solubilization and stabilization of lyophilized

Royal jelly in surfactant base formulations.

Detergents, such as cosmetic cleansers for the skin and hair such as liquid soaps, shampoos, shower baths, bubble baths, shower and wash gels, not only have to have a good cleaning power, but should continue to be for the skin and the

Mucous membranes are well tolerated and will not lead to excessive defatting or skin dryness even with frequent use.

For this reason, for many years trying as many hair and

To incorporate skin conditioners into the cleansers - on the one hand, to meet the requirements for simultaneous cleansing and care and, on the other hand, to allow consumers to use only one product, the two

Meets the requirements, both the advantage of time savings, as well as the advantage of

Cost saving can (as optimally a care step with a Haut- or

Haarnachbehandlungsmittel is to become superfluous).

The incorporation of skin and hair conditioners in a surfactant-containing

However, cleansing formulations continue to pose great difficulties to the manufacturers of such compositions, especially mineral, natural or synthetic fat, wax and oil components, which have been shown to leave a nourishing and conditioning effect on the skin and hair do not incorporate by simply mixing in a Tensidbasis.

Thus, in recent years, for example, it was necessary to incorporate pearlescing agents, special polymers and / or salts into cosmetic cleaners so that, for example, silicones could be suspended in the formulations in a storage-stable manner.

Recently, the trend is back to natural cosmetic products on the

Base of mild (preferably biodegradable) surfactants that are to contain natural care substances of plant or animal origin. In such products, both the number of not necessarily necessary active ingredients are to be minimized, which cause an irritation potential on the skin or the scalp, as well as the necessary components strictly on

Skin compatibility, mildness and biodegradability are respected.

Royal Jelly has anti-inflammatory and supports the immune system. It is offered in the form of capsules for oral use.

Due to its positive effects, one strives to make royal jelly also in cosmetic

To use funds. However, it has hitherto been problematic to offer royal jelly for cosmetic use as a freeze-dried powder concentrate (lyophilized 3: 1) and in this form can not easily get into a cosmetic formulation and stabilize it over a long period of time.

Especially in the preparation of clear formulations, the incorporation of lyophilized royal jelly into cosmetic cleansing formulations poses problems because it can not be stably dissolved or solubilized in the aqueous base, whereby clear formulations can not be obtained.

The aim of the present invention was therefore to find a way to develop cosmetic aqueous cleansers for the skin and hair containing lyophilized royal jelly.

A further aim was to stably solubilize the lyophilized royal jelly in the aqueous surfactant base over a long period of time, so that temperature fluctuations have no effect on the quality of the cleaning agent, in particular on its clarity or its viscosity.

Yet another object of the invention was to produce a mild royal jelly based cleanser which has a sufficiently high viscosity to allow it to be easily applied from a container without "bleeding" and dripping Keep the storage as possible.

Finally, the royal jelly-based cleaners should further enhance the effective cleansing and care of the skin and hair. In particular, by incorporating royal jelly into the skin cleanser, the skin should become more resistant to extreme weather conditions so that it becomes less dry and instead softer and more velvety. The effects of sun exposure, which accelerates skin aging, should also be alleviated. The skin should feel younger and fresher after nourishing cleansing. These goals have been achieved by combining lyophilized royal jelly with a special, mild surfactant base. The present invention therefore relates to cosmetic cleansing compositions which comprise a) at least one mild anionic surfactant, b) at least one mild amphoteric / zwitterionic surfactant, c) lyophilized royal jelly and d) at least 70% by weight of an aqueous base.

The regular cleansing with the mild cleansing agents according to the invention led to an improved skin condition - the skin felt smoother and looked altogether fresher and full of elasticity.

In a first preferred embodiment, the cleaning agents according to the invention are formulated as clear formulations, which are preferably highly viscous.

A clear composition according to the invention is understood to mean a composition which has an NTU value (Nephelometry Turbidity Unit = <50, preferably <30, particularly preferably <20 and in particular <10). By "high viscosity" is meant, in accordance with the present invention, a viscosity of the compositions in the range of 6,000 to 11,000 mPas, preferably 6,500 to 10,500, more preferably 7,000 to 10,000 mPas and most preferably 8,000 to 9,500 mPas (each measured with a Haake VT550 rotational viscometer; ⁰ C, measuring device MV, spindle MV II, 8 rpm) In order to achieve the requirement of clarity, it is particularly important to stably solubilize royal jelly in the cleaning formulation.

This can be achieved by completely dissolving lyophilized royal jelly (as available, for example, under the trade name "Gelee Royale, lyophilized, 3: 1" from Pfannenschmidt) in a mixture of water and a betaine and homogenizing the surfactant base Solution is added.

The mixing ratio of lyophilized royal jelly is preferably: water: betaine 1: (50-200): (50-200).

The index number p in the general formula (I) indicates the degree of oligomerization (DP), ie the distribution of monoglycerides and oligoglycosides, and stands for a number between 1 and 10. While p must always be an integer in a given compound, and especially the If p = 1 to 6 can be assumed, the value p for a given alkyloligoglycoside is an analytically determined arithmetic variable, which usually represents a fractional number.

A second object of the invention is the use of the cleaning agent according to the invention for the cleansing and care of skin and hair.

A third aspect of the invention is a process for the solubilization and stabilization of lyophilized royal jelly in a surfactant cleaning formulation in which the lyophilized royal jelly is first dissolved in a mixture of water / betaine, and then added to the surfactant mixture as a homogeneous solution.

The following examples serve to illustrate the invention. All data in the examples are by weight unless otherwise stated.
