Cosmetic with condensates of plant and animal decomposition products

The invention concerns cosmetic agents with condensates of plant and animal decomposition products, which can be used in cosmetic body care and cleansing preparations and which, in addition to the emulsifying effect, have essential skin-care properties. The object of the invention is to prepare cosmetic products from plant and animal starting materials, said products having substantial portions of original biological structures but being modified to such an extent that they are cosmetically acceptable owing to their neutral smell and pale color. According to the invention, the cosmetic agent is a product of a direct and mild (20 to 55.degree. C.; pH 7.5 to 8.5) decomposition of a biological starting material in an aqueous medium, subsequent condensation with a sub-stoechiometric amount of a C.sub.10 to C.sub.20 fatty acid halide or mixture and optionally subsequent etherification or esterification of the condensation product. The starting materials can be yeasts, yeast fractions, pulses, pulse fractions, pectins, pectin-containing masses, algae, algae fractions, animal milk, animal milk fractions and their mixtures, and contain helical natural substance components, enzyme structures and vitamin structures.

The invention concerns cosmetic agents with condensates of plant and animal 
decomposition products, which can be used in cosmetic body care and 
cleansing preparations and which, in addition to the emulsifying effect, 
have essential skin-care properties. 
Cosmetic agents with emulsifying and surface-active effects are known in 
many combinations for use in cosmetic products for body care and 
cleansing. Among them there are two classes of tensides in particular 
which are particularly characterized by good skin tolerance and are 
accessible from natural raw materials, and which are becoming of growing 
interest, namely the protein-fatty acid condensates and the alkyl 
polyglycosides. The protein-fatty acid condensates are obtained by the 
transformation of protein partial hydrolysates with fatty acids, fatty 
acid chlorides, or fatty acid anhydrides in an aqueous solution, with the 
addition of bases. As fatty acid components, use may be made of 
derivatives of plant fatty acids (coconut oil fatty acids, oleic acid, and 
others), or those from synthetic fatty acids with identical chain lengths. 
The corresponding protein hydrolysates are derived from alkaline, acidic, 
or enzymatic hydrolysis of natural proteins or raw materials containing 
proteins. Starting materials are plant, animal, microbial, and synthetic 
proteins, such as casein, albumin, osteocolla, gelatines, keratin, scrap 
leather, collagen, silk peptides, and biomasses on a paraffin base. For 
the alkaline decomposition of substances containing protein, alkali or 
alkaline earth compounds are used, as are their hydroxides, or ammonia, at 
increased temperature and, if applicable, at increased pressure. 
The advantageous properties of the alkyl polyglycosides and the 
protein-fatty acid condensation products for cosmetic applications 
consist, in terms of their accessibility, of natural raw materials, of 
which the freedom from ethylene oxide, the viscosity of mixtures, the good 
foaming properties, the hair-conditioning properties, the synergistic 
effect with other tensides, and, last but not least, their 
biodegradability and good dermatological tolerance. With these products, 
however, the original biological structures are essentially no longer 
retained. 
The object of the invention is to provide cosmetic agents and cosmetics 
with very good tolerance for the skin and mucous membranes, as well as 
skin-care properties, from plant and animal starting materials, which 
essentially contain proportions of original biological structures, but 
have been modified to the extent that they are cosmetically acceptable 
thanks to their neutral smell and light colour. 
According to the invention, this objective is achieved by a cosmetic which 
contains an unpurified, cosmetically-effective product of a direct and 
mild decomposition (20 to 55.degree. C.; pH 7.5-8.5) of a biological 
starting material, selected from the group which consists of yeasts, yeast 
fractions, pulses, pulse fractions, pectins, pectin-containing masses, 
algae, algae fractions, animal milk, animal milk fractions, and their 
mixtures, in an aqueous medium, and condensed with a sub-stoichiometric 
amount of a C.sub.10 -C.sub.20 fatty acid halide or a C.sub.10 -C.sub.20 
fatty acid halide mixtures, in which context the condensed decomposition 
product contains biological structures of the starting material, selected 
from the group which consists of helical natural substance components, 
vitamin structures, and their mixtures. 
If the biological starting material is a yeast or yeast fraction, this is 
selected from the group which consists of baker's yeast and brewer's 
yeast. Brewer's waste yeast with a solid substance content of 10 to 30 
percent by weight or yeast biomass fractions with yeast cell residues, 
such as are obtained after protein extraction in the yeast processing 
industry as a byproduct, can also be used. 
If the biological starting material is a pulse or a pulse fraction, this is 
selected from the group which consists of peas, lentils, soya beans, and 
broad beans. 
If the biological starting material is a pectin or a mass containing 
pectin, these are, in particular, citrus peels and pomace, as well as 
grape daff. 
If the biological starting material is an algae or an algae fraction, this 
is selected from the group which consists of green algae, brown algae, and 
red algae, in which context these algae contain high proportions of 
chlorophyll, alginates, proteins, and mineral substances. 
If the biological starting material is animal milk or an animal milk 
fraction, this is selected from the group consisting of mare's milk, cow's 
milk, sheep milk, reindeer milk, and goat's milk. 
A particularly preferred starting material is mare's milk. 
Biological starting materials of which the constituents are not directly 
accessible by chemical reaction, because they are present in their 
biological cell structure, are homogenised and broken down by the effect 
of ultrasonics and/or mechanical shearing forces. This has the advantage, 
in comparison with the alkaline decomposition of cell structures of the 
state of the art, that enzyme and vitamin activities are, to a large 
extent, retained. The ultrasonic treatment is effected at temperatures of 
not above 55.degree. C. and at pH values of between 6 and 8. Ultrasonic 
treatment is particularly well-suited with biological starting materials 
such a yeasts and pulses. 
The biological starting material, which has been pretreated as appropriate 
by ultrasonics or mechanical shearing forces, is adjusted to a solid 
substance content of 15 to 30 percent by weight and a pH value of 7.5 to 
8.5. Conversion of the suspensions then takes place with a 
sub-stoichiometric quantity of acid halides of plant fatty acids or 
synthetic fatty acids, with chain lengths from 10 to 20 carbon atoms, and 
for preference 12 to 18 carbon atoms, at temperatures from 20 to 
55.degree. C. (condensation). It is also possible to use fatty acids with 
different chain lengths from the range indicated above. 
The adjustment of the pH value in the alkaline range is effected for 
preference with alkaline metal hydroxide solutions or alkali carbonates. 
The addition of appropriate alkaline earth compounds is likewise possible, 
but this has the disadvantage that the corresponding salts remain as 
insoluble constituents in the end product. 
Of the fatty acid halides, the chlorides are particularly preferred. As 
fatty acids, those with 12 to 18 carbon atoms are preferred. One 
particularly preferred fatty acid is palmitic acid. After the conversion 
of the biological starting material with the fatty acid halide or fatty 
acid halide mixture, the products obtained in this manner can be modified 
to improve their properties or to adapt them for specific purposes, such 
as increasing the gelling capability, by introducing suitable substitutes 
with the aid of esterification or etherification. Carboxymethylisations 
with monochloroacetic acid or dicholoroacetic acid or succinylisation with 
succinic acid anhydride are especially preferred. 
The biologically degradable and condensed products according to the 
invention are in the first instance of significance in cosmetics due to 
their extensive content of biological structures, such as helices, enzyme 
and vitamin structures, and they accordingly differ substantially from 
conventional products. The products also feature nonderivated constituents 
of the biological starting material or their cleavage products, such as 
peptides, amino acids, carbohydrates and fats, since they are used in 
sub-stoichiometric quantities as reaction partners for the fatty acid 
halides. These cleavage products of the biological starting materials 
possess advantageous effects on the human skin. 
The term helical natural substance components in connection with the 
present invention is understood to mean proteins and polysaccharides which 
form individual helix ranges or double helix structures. 
In addition to this, the biological starting materials have an emulsifying 
effect, and can be used as essentially nonionic tensides with anionic 
fractions with this ancillary effect in creams, washing lotions, hair 
washing products, hair conditioners, masks or gels. In addition, they can 
be used as active substance stabilizers or as viscosity-enhancing 
components in creams or lotions, and overall feature excellent tolerance 
to the skin and mucous membranes, as well as beneficial properties. 
Due to the differences between the constituents in the biological starting 
materials with regard to their chemical composition and their molecular 
sizes, there comes into being, during the mild decomposition according to 
the invention, with subsequent condensation, a mixture of different 
chemical compounds with a broad molecular weight distribution. As a 
result, instabilities in chemical preparations can to a very large extent 
be avoided, even in the event of varying volumetric relationships. of 
particular advantage is the fact that the aqueous solutions of the 
condensed decomposition products according to the invention, from 
biological starting materials of low surface tension values have tensides 
such as are manufactured on the basis of regrown raw materials such as 
protein-fatty acid condensates or alkyl polyglycosides. 
The invention also concerns a process for the manufacture of cosmetically 
effective condensed decomposition products of vegetable and animal origin, 
characterized in that a biological starting material is decomposed, 
selected from the group consisting of yeasts, yeast fractions, pulses, 
pulse fractions, pectins, pectin-containing masses, algae, algae 
fractions, animal milk and animal milk fractions, and their mixtures, in 
the aqueous and weakly alkaline medium in the range from pH 7.5 to 8.5 and 
in the temperature range from 20 to 55.degree. C., and condensed with a 
sub-stoichiometric volume of a halide of a C.sub.10 -C.sub.20 fatty acid 
or of a fatty acid halide mixture of such fatty acids; the pH value is 
then adjusted to values in the range from 5 to 7, and the product 
obtained, which contains biological structures of the starting product, 
selected from the group consisting of the helical natural substance 
components, enzyme structures, and vitamin structures and their mixtures, 
homogenised without further splitting, and, if applicable, the 
homogenisate is mixed with other cosmetic substances from the group of 
carrier substances, ancillary substances, and active substances, and, if 
applicable, processed to form a cosmetic preparation, in which situation 
the temperature does not exceed 55.degree. C., and the pH value of the 
final product is between pH 5 and 7. 
To particular advantage, the adjustment of the pH value is effected in the 
weakly alkaline range from pH 7.5 to 8.5, with an alkali hydroxide or 
alkali carbonate. 
To particular advantage, the adjustment of the pH value is effected in the 
weakly acidic range from pH 5 to 7 with an acid selected from the group 
consisting of hydrochloric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, and citric 
acid. 
To advantage, biological structures which are not directly accessible to 
chemical reaction are in part decomposed by the effects of ultrasonics 
and/or mechanical shearing forces, in which situation the temperature 
during decomposition does not exceed 55.degree. C. and the pH lies in the 
range from 5 to 8. 
One particularly advantageous decomposition product derives from an 
ultrasonic decomposition process with an ultrasonic flow cell according to 
DE 42 41 154, in which the sonotrode projects to 1/2 to 2/3 of its length 
into the flow cell, the angle of the sonotrode in the ultrasonic wave 
exposure vessel being in the range from 80.5 to 88.5.degree., the ratio of 
the immersion length of the synotrode (in mm) to the ultrasonic wave 
exposure volume (in ml) being adjusted to a value in the range from 1:1.1 
to 1:20, and the ratio of the immersion length of the synotrode (in mm) to 
the solid substance proportion of the medium to be exposed (in mass %) 
lies in the range from 1:0.02 to 1:2.2. 
According to the invention, the biological decomposition product can be 
further esterified or etherised after conversion with fatty acid halide, 
in order to encompass special application purposes; for example, so as to 
incur an improvement in the gelling capacity, or to influence other 
properties. One advantageous procedure is carboxymethylisation with 
monochloroacetic or dichloroacetic acid, or succinylisation with succinic 
acid anhydride. 
To adjust the pH value in the weakly acidic range, for example, the acids 
referred to above can be used. By contrast with hydrochloric acid, 
however, hydroxycarbonic acids such as tartaric acid, malic acid, and, for 
especial preference, citric acid, have the advantage that they exert a 
lightening effect on the products in the course of neutralisation. In 
addition to this, however, hydrogen peroxide may be added, in order to 
effect further improvement of colour and smell. As a result, products with 
a milky-white to milky-light yellow or light green or light brown colour 
can be produced, depending on whether the starting product is animal milk 
or yeast or green algae or green peas, or brown algae respectively, which 
have a neutral or pleasant smell. 
The biological starting materials decomposed and condensed according to the 
invention can be used without further purification in the cosmetics sector 
as cosmetic raw materials with care properties, as tensides or additional 
tenside constituents, and as regulators for the surface tension. It does, 
however, already represent a cosmetic substance--with the addition of only 
a few conventional cosmetic ancillary substances--as a result of its high 
proportion of active substances. 
The cosmetic raw material according to the invention differs clearly from 
the products previously known in the high proportions of biological 
structures, which can be controlled to a large extent in the end product 
by the adjustment of the solid substance content of the biologically 
degraded product. For example, this solid substance content in animal milk 
used lies in the range from 35 to 50% by weight, related to the total 
mass, in order to attain a good consistency of the end product. In the 
case of legumes, the solid substance content is approximately in the range 
from 15 to 25% by weight, in order to achieve a good consistency of the 
end product. 
The proportion of the helix structures in the decomposed biological 
material can be measured by means of what is referred to as the helix-coil 
transition analysis (Kogan et al., Biopolymers, Vol. 27, 1055-63; Williams 
et al., Carb. res. 219, 203-213), in which use is made of the fact that 
ordered structures, such as helices, form complexes with, for example, 
colouring agents. By contrast with a comparison substance, such as starch, 
absorption maxima can be measured at the corresponding NaOH 
concentrations. This makes it possible for specific quantities of helices 
to be adjusted by means of the volume of fatty acid halide used. 
The term "sub-stoichiometric volume" in connection with this invention 
indicates that, related to the weight, 20 to 90% fatty acid halide is used 
in relation to 100% biological starting material. For animal milk, and 
mare's milk in particular, an advantageous range of the sub-stoichiometric 
volume, for example, is 50 to 70%. 
The adjustment of a sub-stoichiometric ratio can be carried out by the 
determination of the functional groups of the starting material and the 
secondary hydroxy and amino groups. This adjustment of the ratio is 
therefore effected via the OH coefficient and amine coefficient (in the 
same way as with the manufacture of polyurethane), in that, depending on 
the OH or amine coefficient of a specific volume of starting material 
(100%) which has been determined, a lesser volume of fatty acid halide (20 
to 90%) is added. Depending on what solid substance content is desired in 
the end product--and therefore what specific viscosities--this solid 
substance content can be controlled by means of the value of the shortfall 
of the fatty acid halide (mixture), and therefore the proportion of the 
biological structures. 
The cosmetic substance can to advantage be presented in the form of a 
cream, a body lotion, a hair washing agent, a mask, or a gel. 
It can, however, also be presented directly as a product of condensation or 
subsequent etherisation or esterisation. 
The invention is explained in greater detail below on the basis of 
examples; the examples are not however limitative on the invention.

EXAMPLE 1 
333 g of baker's yeast (30% by weight of the dry mass) was suspended with 
166 ml of water, and subjected to ultrasonic treatment for one hour 
(appliance USD 30 from Emich Ultraschall GmbH, generator output 400 W,

acid chloride. After the reaction with the acid chloride, 1.5 g succinic 
acid anhydride was added while stirring, maintaining a pH value of 8.5 at 
45.degree. C. Stirring was then continued for a further 90 minutes. This

weight of mare's milk powder was dissolved in water, and the pH value 
adjusted to 7.5. This was then heated to approximately 45.degree. C. under 
stirring, and 40% palmitic acid chloride related to the weight of the 
operational product was added to the mixture, then stirred for two hours.

suspension was obtained, which became completely white after the addition 
of citric acid up to pH 6.0, and featured a solid content of 25% by 
weight.

acid chloride, the pH value was maintained at 7.5. After a reaction time 
of 2.2 hours, under stirring at 45.degree. C., the mass was cooled.
