Title: Hair oils for conditioning keratin fibres

Description:
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION 
     This application claims priority to German Patent Application No. 10 2017 223 528.4, filed Dec. 21, 2017, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. 
     TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present disclosure relates to cosmetic agents which are based on natural oils, are preferably free from silicones and preferably are present in the form of a hair oil, and use thereof for the care of keratin fibres. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Hair conditioners having a caring effect primarily include quats (quaternary ammonium compounds), silicone oils, fatty acids and polymer(s). For a few years now, the field of hair cosmetics has been developing hair oils that primarily include silicone oils. In addition, the hair oils are used as “leave-in products”, that is to say the formulations remain in the hair without subsequent rinsing. The consumer thus saves time and water. The hair oils enjoy an advantageous sustainability from this point of view. The success of hair oils of this kind on the market has been very high. 
     The search is ongoing for new combinations that can ensure a high level of care, a perceptible care effect, and good stability. Within the scope of sustainability, increasing value is currently being placed on raw materials of plant origin or having good biodegradability. In this regard, silicone oils are a constant source of criticism. The good level of care, however, should not be compromised. The greatest difficulty in replacing silicone oils in hair oils lies in finding natural oils or natural raw materials that do not weigh down the hair or make it greasy. 
     Besides natural ambient influences, human hair is also exposed to a range of further, in particular cosmetic stresses. These stresses, which burden the hair, for example include hair dyeing and hair shaping, for example as a result of permanent waving. Cosmetic haircare agents are used in order to reduce the disadvantageous effects of the (ambient) influences that compromise the hair structure, but also in order to maintain and improve the natural hair structure. An essential active substance in many of these cosmetic agents is constituted by the organosilicon compounds, in particular the silicones such as trisiloxanes, which are exemplified by caring properties. The disadvantages of these silicones are the reduced penetration of active substances and auxiliaries into the hair caused by wetting of the hair surface, and the increased difficulty in styling the hair, likewise caused by the wetting of the hair surface. The provision of care agents that have a low silicone content or are free from silicone is therefore a relevant objective in the field of hair cosmetics. 
     The user of ester oils in hair-conditioning agents is described in international patent application WO 2010/063565 A1 (Henkel). 
     Document EP 2 623 088 A2 (Henkel) discloses haircare agents that contain at least one ester oil and at least one isoparaffin from the group of isodecane, isoundecane, isododecane, isotridecane and isotetradecane. Mixtures of ester oils and polymer quaternary ammonium compounds are additionally described, as are also combinations of both cosmetic agents.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     The following detailed description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the disclosure or the application and uses of the subject matter as described herein. Furthermore, there is no intention to be bound by any theory presented in the preceding background or the following detailed description. 
     The object of the present disclosure is to provide cosmetic agents that make the co-use of organosilicon compounds, in particular silicones, superfluous and yet nevertheless maintain the performance range of the silicone-containing formulations. The weighing-down of the hair and the greasy condition of the treated hair often occurring with the use of silicones should be avoided. In particular, the object of the present disclosure is that it is enabling the use of renewable raw materials or the incorporation of natural oil in a cosmetic agent without the agent weighing down the hair or making it greasy. 
     The object is achieved as contemplated herein by a cosmetic agent containing, in a cosmetically acceptable carrier, 
     a) one or more alkanes from the group of undecane, dodecane, tridecane,
 
b) at least one ester oil from the group of dicarboxylic acid esters, carbonate esters and diol esters,
 
c)  crambe abyssinica  seed oil.
 
     It has been found that by combining one or more alkanes with a) at least ester oil and b)  crambe abyssinica  seed oil, cosmetic agents are produced that do not weigh down the hair treated therewith or make said hair greasy and in addition ensure good combability and a good level of hair shine. Cosmetic agents, in particular haircare agents, are thus produced which demonstrate an excellent level of care and in particular provide good shine properties, an improved appearance and preferably improved regeneration of the keratin fibres. 
     In particular, cosmetic agents that surprisingly provide improved care in respect of their detangling ability and combability, feel, shine and anti-frizz properties, without weighing down the hair, are produced. Especially by the use of  crambe abyssinica  seed oil, the cosmetic agent as contemplated herein gains even more advantages in respect of its care properties. In addition, the use has a strong sustainable aspect and enables the incorporation of plant oils based on renewable raw materials. In particular, the use of plant-based alkanes is possible, whereby the use of petrochemical constituents can be reduced or avoided. 
     As component a) the cosmetic agents contain one or more alkanes from the group of undecane, dodecane, tridecane. Individual alkanes or mixtures of two or more of the mentioned alkanes can be used. 
     For example, mixtures of undecane and dodecane, mixtures of dodecane and tridecane, mixtures of undecane and tridecane, or mixtures of undecane, dodecane and tridecane can be used. 
     Cosmetic agents as contemplated herein that contain a mixture of undecane and tridecane or exclusively dodecane as alkane demonstrate particularly advantageous effects in combination with the oil bodies b) and c). 
     The proportion by weight of the undecane, dodecane and tridecane in the total weight of all alkanes used in the cosmetic agent is preferably more than about 62% by weight, preferably more than about 72% by weight, particularly preferably more than about 82% by weight, and in particular more than about 92% by weight. It is particularly preferred if the proportion by weight of the dodecane and tridecane in the total weight of all alkanes used in the cosmetic agent is more than about 60% by weight, preferably more than about 70% by weight, particularly preferably more than about 80% by weight, and in particular more than about 90% by weight. 
     An alkane mixture that is particularly preferred as contemplated herein is commercially available under the name Cetiol® Ultima. A further preferred alkane mixture is commercially available under the name Parafol 12-97.

     The cosmetic agent as contemplated herein can be used in any suitable fields of application. The agents are preferably hair treatment agents, in particular hair oils. The cosmetic agent is preferably present in the form of a hair oil. 
     The hair oil is particularly preferably applied in the form of a sprayed oil and is sprayed onto the hair. The spray can be a pump spray, or the spraying can be achieved with the aid of propellants. Suitable propellants (propellant gases) are propane, propene, n-butane, iso-butane, iso-butene, n-pentane, pentene, iso-pentane, iso-pentene, methane, ethane, dimethylether, nitrogen, air, oxygen, nitrous oxide, 1,1,1,3-tetrafluoroethane, heptafluoro-n-propane, perfluoroethane, monochlorodifluoromethane, 1,1-difluoroethane, more specifically either individually or in combination. Hydrophilic propellant gases such as carbon dioxide, can also be used advantageously in the context of the present disclosure, if the proportion of hydrophilic gases is selected to be low and a lipophilic propellant gas (for example propane/butane) is present in excess. Propane, n-butane, isobutane, and mixtures of said propellant gases are particularly preferred. It has emerged that the use of n-butane as the sole propellant gas can be particularly preferred as contemplated herein. 
     Vessels made of metal (aluminium, tinplate, tin), protected or non-splintering plastic, or glass that is externally coated with plastic may be used as compressed gas containers; compressive strength and breaking strength, corrosion resistance, ease of filling, as well as aesthetic aspects, handling, printability, etc., play a role in their selection. 
     The present disclosure thus also relates to the use of the cosmetic agent for the care of keratin fibres. 
     As discussed, the agents as contemplated herein are suitable in particular for haircare. A further subject of the present application is therefore a method for the treatment of keratin fibres, exemplified in that a cosmetic agent as contemplated herein is applied to the dried and/or damp keratin fibres. 
     The hair treatment agent as contemplated herein is preferably used directly before, during or after an oxidative or surfactant hair treatment. In the context of the present disclosure, the expression “directly before the oxidative or surfactant hair treatment” is understood to mean an application that directly follows the oxidative or surfactant hair treatment, wherein the hair treatment agent as contemplated herein has been rinsed beforehand from the hair or preferably has been left on the hair, and the hair is preferably still wet. 
     The expression “after the oxidative or surfactant hair treatment” in the context of the present disclosure is understood to mean an application which either directly follows the oxidative or surfactant hair treatment, wherein the hair treatment agent as contemplated herein is applied to the preferably still wet, towel-dried hair once the agent with oxidative or surfactant effect has been rinsed out, or is applied to the dry or wet hair only after several hours or days. In both cases the hair treatment agent as contemplated herein can be rinsed out again after a reaction time of a few seconds up to about 45 minutes, or can remain fully on the hair. 
     The effect of the hair treatment agent as contemplated herein develops even during the oxidative or surfactant hair treatment and surprisingly continues even after the hair treatment agent as contemplated herein has been washed out vigorously. 
     A further subject of the present application is the use of a cosmetic agent as contemplated herein for the care of keratin fibres. What is claimed here in particular is the use of a cosmetic agent as contemplated herein
         to improve the wet and dry combability of keratin fibres,   to improve the shine of keratin fibres,   to improve the moisture balance of keratin fibres,   to protect the keratin fibres against oxidative damage, in particular during the course of oxidative hair treatment, so as to prevent the keratin fibres from becoming greasy,   to increase the washing fastness of dyed keratin fibres,   to attain increased hairstyle durability over at least about 48 h, in particular beyond about 24 h,   to improve what is known as the curl retention of keratin fibres,   to improve the feel of keratin fibres,   to improve the regeneration of keratin fibres.       

     Combability is understood as contemplated herein to mean both the combability of the wet fibres and the combability of the dry fibres. The combing work involved or the force applied during the process of combing a collective of fibres is used as a measure for combability. The measurement parameters can be assessed in a sensory manner by a person skilled in the art or can be quantified using measuring devices. 
     An oxidative hair treatment is defined as contemplated herein to mean the effect on hair of an oxidative cosmetic agent containing at least one oxidising agent in a cosmetic carrier. 
     Besides the active substances described above, the cosmetic agents as contemplated herein can contain further ingredients. The group of these further ingredients includes, in particular, the cosmetically effective active substances, auxiliaries and additives. 
     A first group of optional ingredients is formed by the substances that form oil bodies. Examples of these are plant oils, liquid paraffin oils and synthetic hydrocarbons, and di-n-alkyl ethers with a total of between from about 12 and about 36 C atoms and fatty alcohols:
         plant oils. Examples of such oils are amaranth seed oil, apricot kernel oil, argan oil, avocado oil, babassu oil, cottonseed oil, borage seed oil, camelina oil, thistle oil, peanut oil, pomegranate seed oil, grapefruit seed oil, hemp oil, hazelnut oil, elderberry seed oil, blackcurrant seed oil, jojoba oil, cocoa butter, linseed oil, macadamia nut oil, corn oil, almond oil, marula oil, evening primrose oil, olive oil, orange oil, palm oil, peach kernel oil, rapeseed oil, rice bran oil, sea buckthorn pulp oil, sea buckthorn seed oil, sesame oil, Shea butter, soy oil, sunflower oil, grapeseed oil, walnut oil, wheat germ oil, wild rose oil and the liquid components of coconut oil. The proportion by weight of the plant oil in the total weight of preferred cosmetic agents is from about 0.1 to about 10% by weight, preferably from about 0.2 to about 8.0% by weight, and in particular from about 0.4 to about 5.0% by weight;   liquid paraffin oils and synthetic hydrocarbons and di-n-alkyl ethers with a total between from about 12 and about 36 C atoms, in particular from about 12 to about 24 C atoms, such as di-noctyl ether, di-n-decyl ether, di-n-nonyl ether, di-n-undecyl ether, di-n-dodecyl ether, n-hexyl-noctyl ether, n-octyl-n-decyl ether, n-decyl-n-undecyl ether, n-undecyl-n-dodecyl ether and n-hexyl-n-undecyl ether and di-tert-butyl ether, di-iso-pentyl ether, di-3-ethyldecyl ether, tert.-butyl-n-octyl ether, iso-pentyl-n-octyl ether and 2-methyl-pentyl-n-octyl ether. The compounds 1,3-di-(2-ethyl-hexyl)-cyclohexane (Cetiol® S) and di-n-octyl ether (Cetiol® OE) obtainable as commercial products can be preferred;   fatty alcohols. The group of preferred fatty alcohols includes C 8  to C 22  fatty alcohols, preferably C 10  to C 20  fatty alcohols, and in particular C 12  to C 18  fatty alcohols. The proportion by weight of the fatty alcohol in the total weight of preferred cosmetic agents is from about 0.1 to about 10% by weight, preferably from about 0.2 to about 8.0% by weight, and in particular from about 0.4 to about 5.0% by weight.       

     The total amount of the ingredients of the cosmetic agents is 100% by weight. 
     Besides the active substances described above, the cosmetic agents as contemplated herein can contain further ingredients. The group of these further ingredients includes, in particular, the cosmetically effective active substances, auxiliaries and additives. 
     Suitable active substances, auxiliaries and additives are in particular additional care substances. The agent for example can contain at least one protein hydrolysate and/or one of the derivatives thereof as care substance. Protein hydrolysates are product mixtures that are obtained by acid-catalysed, base-catalysed or enzymatically catalysed breakdown of proteins. The term “protein hydrolysates” is understood as contemplated herein to also mean total hydrolysates and also individual amino acids and derivatives thereof as well as mixtures of different amino acids. The molecular weight of the protein hydrolysates usable as contemplated herein lies between about 75, the molecular weight for glycine, and about 200,000 daltons, and the molecular weight is preferably from about 75 to about 50,000 daltons, and very particularly preferably from about 75 to about 20,000 daltons. 
     As care substance, the agent as contemplated herein can also contain at least one vitamin, a provitamin, a vitamin precursor and/or one of the derivatives thereof. Here, vitamins, provitamins and vitamin precursors that are usually assigned to the groups A, B, C, E, F and H are preferred as contemplated herein. 
     Similarly to the addition of glycerol and/or propylene glycol, the addition of panthenol increases the flexibility of the polymer film formed with application of the agent as contemplated herein. 
     As care substance, the agents as contemplated herein can also contain at least one plant extract, but also monosaccharides or oligosaccharides and/or lipids. 
     Particularly preferred cosmetic agents as contemplated herein are preferably formulated as application mixtures with a low water content. The water content of preferred cosmetic agents, in relation to the total weight of said agents, is less than about 10% by weight, preferably less than about 5.0% by weight, particularly preferably less than about 1.0% by weight, and in particular less than about 0.1% by weight, wherein very particularly preferred cosmetic agents contain no water.
