DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
Deodorizing active substance combinations based on wool wax acids and partial glycerides
The present invention relates to cosmetic active substance combinations, in particular active substance combinations as the active principle in cosmetic deodorants.
Cosmetic deodorants are intended to remove body odour which is formed when fresh sweat, which is odourless as such, is decomposed by microorganisms. The commercially available cosmetic deodorants are based on different active principles.
In so-called antiperspirants, the production of sweat can be reduced by means of astringents, preferably aluminium salts, such as aluminium chloride hydroxide (aluchlorohydrate). However, the substances used for this purpose not only denature the skin proteins but also engage drastically in the heat metabolism of the underarm region, depending on their dosage rate, and should only be used in exceptional cases.
It is possible to reduce the bacterial flora on the skin by using antimicrobial substances in cosmetic deodorants. In the ideal case, only those microorganisms should be reduced in an effective manner which cause odour. However, it has emerged in practice that the entire microbial flora of the skin can be adversely affected.
Perspiration itself is not affected by this; in the ideal case, only microbial decomposition of the sweat is stopped temporarily.
It is also conventional to use a combination of astringents together with antimicrobial active substances in one and the same composition. However, the disadvantages of both classes of active substances cannot be overcome entirely in this manner.
Finally, it is also possible to mask body odour by odoriferous substances, a method which meets the aesthetic expectations of the consumer the least since the mixture of body odour and perfume smells rather unpleasant.
Even so, most of the cosmetic deodorants, like most cosmetics in general, are perfumed even when they contain deodorizing active substances. Perfuming a cosmetic product can also be used for improving its attraction to the consumer or for styling a product in a certain manner.
Perfuming cosmetic preparations which contain active substances, in particular cosmetic deodorants, however, is frequently not without problems since active substances and perfume components can occasionally react with each other and neutralize each other's activities.
Deodorants should meet the following conditions: deodorants. otherwise not used as intended. cosmetic formulations.
Deodorants which are known and conventionally used are both liquid deodorants, for example aerosols or roll-on preparations and the like, and solid preparations, for example deodorant sticks, powders, powder sprays, compositions for female hygiene, etc.
It was therefore the object of the present invention to develop cosmetic deodorants which do not have the disadvantages of the prior art. In particular, it was intended that the deodorants should not, to a large extent, harm the microbial flora on the skin but should selectively reduce the number of those micro-organisms which are responsible for body odour.
Another object of the invention was to develop cosmetic deodorants which are distinguished by good tolerance by the skin. It was intended that the deodorizing active principles should on no account accumulate on the skin.
A further object was to develop cosmetic deodorants which are compatible with the largest possible number of conventional cosmetic auxiliaries and additives, in particular with the perfume components which are important especially in those formulations which have a deodorizing or antiperspiratory activity.
A further object of the invention was to provide cosmetic deodorants which are effective over a longer period, namely in the order of magnitude of at least half a day, without their activity noticeably declining.
Finally, it was an object of the present invention to develop deodorizing cosmetic principles which can be incorporated as widely as possible into a wide range of product forms of cosmetic deodorants and without being restricted t
