ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to highly concentrated pearlizing concentrates containing pearlizing waxes, special emulsifier mixtures and optionally polyols, to a process for their production and to the use of certain co-emulsifiers as viscosity adjusters for the production of pearlizing concentrates with a high active-substance content.
PRIOR ART
For centuries, the softly shimmering luster of pearls has held a particular fascination for human beings. It is therefore no wonder that manufacturers of cosmetic preparations endeavour to give their products an attractive, valuable and rich appearance. The first pearlescence used in cosmetics in the middle ages was a pearlizing paste of natural fish scales. At the beginning of the present century, it was discovered that bismuth oxide chlorides were also capable of producing pearlescence. By contrast, pearlizing waxes, particularly of the glycol monofatty acid ester and difatty acid ester type, are of importance in modern cosmetics, being used mainly for the production of pearlescence in hair shampoos and shower gels. An overview of modern pearlizing formulations was published by A. Ansmann and R. Kawa in Parf. Kosm., 75, 578 (1994).
Various formulations capable of providing surface-active products with the required pearlescence are known from the prior art. For example, German patent applications DE 38 43 572 A1 and DE 41 03 551 A1 (Henkel) describe pearlizing concentrates in the form of free-flowing aqueous dispersions containing 15 to 40% by weight of pearlizing components, 5 to 55% by weight of emulsifiers and 0.1 to 5% by weight or 15 to 40% by weight of polyols. The pearlizing waxes are acylated polyalkylene glycols, monoalkanolamides, linear saturated fatty acids or ketosulfones. European patents EP 0 181 773 B1 and EP 0 285 389 B1 (Procter & Gamble) describe shampoo compositions containing surfactants, non-volatile silicones and pearlizing waxes. European patent application EP 0 205 922 A2 (Henkel) relates to free-flowing pearlizing concentrates containing 5 to 15% by weight of acylated polyglycols, 1 to 6% by weight of fatty acid monoethanolamides and 1 to 5% by weight of nonionic emulsifiers. According to the teaching of European patent EP 0 569 843 B1 (Hoechst), nonionic, free-flowing pearlizing dispersions can also be obtained by preparing mixtures of 5 to 30% by weight of acylated polyglycols and 0.1 to 20% by weight of selected nonionic surfactants. In addition, European patent application EP 0 581 193 A2 (Hoechst) describes free-flowing, preservative-free pearlizing dispersions containing acylated polyglycol ethers, betaines, anionic surfactants and glycerol. Finally, European patent application EP 0 684 302 A1 (Th. Goldschmidt) relates to the use of polyglycerol esters as crystallization aids for the production of pearlizing concentrates.
Despite the large number of formulations, there is a constant need on the market for new pearlizing concentrates which, even with extremely high active substance contents, are still flowable, have excellent performance properties, allow the use of critical ingredients, such as silicones for example, without the stability of the formulations being impaired, and produce other positive effects in the end formulations. Accordingly, the problem addressed by the present invention was to provide new pearlizing concentrates which would satisfy the complex requirement profile mentioned above.
