Abstract:
1. A non-therapeutic method for inhibiting or reducing body odor caused by the hydrolytic decomposition of steroid esters by β-glucuronidase comprising adding to a cosmetic deodorant or antiperspirant composition at least one compound selected from the group consisting of: monobasic mono-α-hydroxycarboxylic acids having 2-6 carbon atoms and their physiologically acceptable salts, monobasic polyhydroxycarboxylic acids having 4-8 carbon atoms and 3-7 hydroxyl groups, their intramolecular condensation products as well as ethers thereof with mono-, oligo- and polysaccharides or esters thereof with organic and with inorganic acids as well as the physiologically acceptable salts of these components, polybasic carboxylic acids which are not hydroxy-substituted and have 3-8 carbon atoms and 2-3 carboxyl groups, their esters with optionally alkyl-substituted mono- and oligosaccharides as well as the physiologically acceptable salts of these components, polybasic monohydroxycarboxylic acids having 4-8 carbon atoms and 2-3 carboxyl groups, their esters with optionally alkyl-substituted mono- and oligosaccharides as well as the physiologically acceptable salts of these components, polybasic polyhydroxycarboxylic acids having 4-8 carbon atoms, 2-6 hydroxyl groups and 2-3 carboxyl groups, their esters with optionally alkyl-substituted mono- and oligosaccharides as well as the physiologically acceptable salts of these components, aromatic carboxylic acids having 6-20 carbon atoms, 1-2 phenyl radicals, 1-6 hydroxyl groups and 1 carboxyl group, as well as physiologically acceptable salts thereof, amino acids as well as physiologically acceptable salts thereof, 6,7-disubstituted 2,2-dialkylchromanes or -chromenes, phenolic glycosides with a phenoxy radical substituted at least in the para-position, wherein the substituents are chosen from a methoxy, ethoxy, isopropoxy, n-propoxy, vinyl, methylvinyl, 1-propenyl, 2-propenyl, isobutenyl, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, ketopropyl, β-ketobutyl, γ-ketobutyl, β-ketopentyl, γ-ketopentyl and a δ-ketopentyl radical, extracts from green tea ( flavonoids, isoflavonoids, polyphenols, monocyclic hydrocarbon compounds having 6-12 carbon atoms, 1-2 hydroxyl groups and oxygen atoms as the only heteroatoms, wherein the ring is formed from 6 or 7 atoms and can be saturated, unsaturated or aromatic, and derivatives of phosphonic acid and phosphoric acid chosen from hydroxyethane-1,1-diphosphonic acid, diethylenetriaminepenta (methylenephosphonic acid), myo-inositol-hexaphosphoric acid (phytic acid) and phosphonomethylated chitosan as well as the alkali metal salts of these components, zinc ricinoleate, geraniol-7 EO as well as soluble inorganic salts of copper(II), zinc and magnesium.
