DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
Damage to the hair structure is brought about through frequent bleaching, permanent waving, and dyeing, but also by means of frequent washing of the hair with fat-removing tensides, as well as by means of the intensive action of sunlight. The hair becomes brittle and loses its luster. In addition, the hair is charged electrostatically during combing, and the roughened hair surface causes matting and knotting of the hair. Combing is made very difficult by means of this. Hair conditioning compositions which act so as to improve combing facility and which have a caring effect have therefore achieved considerable importance. In particular, through the use of hair conditioning compositions, such as hair treatments and rinses, the combing facility of hair is improved, and the electrostatic charging during combing is prevented. The hair conditioning compositions are chiefly in the form of oil-in-water emulsions, for example, as so-called cream rinses, and contain semisolid or solid substances, such as paraffin oil, petrolatuem, wool fat, wool fat alcohols, fatty acid esters, and hydrocarbon waxes, as framework component parts. Quaternary ammonium compounds such as oxyethylated alkylammonium phosphates, alkyltrimethylammoniumchlorides, dialkyldimethylammoniumchlorides, alkyldimethylbenzylammoniumchlorides, and alkylpyridiniumchlorides, are normally used alone or in combination with nonionogenic emulsifiers as emulsifiers for such emulsions.
The recipes most often used contain quaternary ammonium salts and fatty alcohols, in particular. These compositions have a milky-cloudy appearance. Although, in the past, there has been no lack of attempts to impart a pearlescent, more aesthetic appearance to such products, there has been no success previously in making available such a product with authentic pearlescence. While pearlescent recipes are state of the art in the area of shampoos and are often used, it is obviously problematic to produce pearlescent, stable, cationic compositions containing fatty alcohols. Thus, for example, a pearlescent, cationic hair treatment is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,275,055 which, however, contains a high proportion of stearyldimethylbenzylammoniumchloride, which has a high melting point and is difficult to dissolve, and no fatty alcohol. Other hair conditioning compositions with pearlescence are not purely cationic, but, rather, contain high proportions of anionic and nonionic tensides. Moreover, such known pearlescent hair conditioning compositions with satisfactory characteristics contain relatively expensive raw materials.
Therefore, it was the object of the present invention to provide pearlescent hair conditioning compositions with good use characteristics based on the relatively low-priced raw materials fatty alcohol and quaternary compound.
It was found, in addition, that this object is met by means of pearlescent hair conditioning composition based on a quaternary compound and a fatty alcohol consisting of carbon atoms, wherein m is a number from 14 to 18, or a mixture of such fatty alcohols, wherein m then indicates the average quantity of carbon atoms, formula ##STR2## wherein R.sub.1 designates an alkyl radical with n carbon atoms (n=12 to 22), coconut amidoethyl, coconut amidopropyl,R'--Y-- with R'=C.sub.12 to C.sub.20 -alkyl and ##STR3## R.sub.2 is one of the radicals CH.sub.3, CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 OH or CH.sub.2 CH.sub.3, R.sub.3 designates CH.sub.3, CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 OH, benzyl or acetamidyl and X.sup..crclbar. =Cl.sup.-, Br.sup.-, CH.sub.3 SO.sub.4.sup.-,1/2 SO.sub.4.sup.2-, lactate.sup.- or acetate.sup.-l , (m) and the number of carbon atoms of the radical R.sub.1 of the quaternary compound (n) is greater than or equal to 29 (m+n.gtoreq.29), assuming that the weight ratio of the component A to the component B is between 0.1 and 3 and the weight ratio of the component C to the sum of components A and B is between 0.05 and 0.5, and assuming that the proportion by weight of the cosmetic added substances is not greater than the proportion by weight from the sum of components
