Title: Active substance combination of creatine and/or creatinine and a retinoid

Description:
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS  
      The present application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 of German Patent Application No. 103 55 715.6, filed Nov. 26, 2003, the disclosure of which is expressly incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.  
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
      1. Field of the Invention  
      The present invention relates to the use of creatine and/or creatine derivatives and/or creatinine and/or creatinine derivatives in cosmetic or dermatological preparations for the treatment and prophylaxis of the symptoms of UV and/or ozone-induced skin damage and of inflammatory and degenerative skin conditions.  
      2. Discussion of Background Information  
      Cosmetic skin care is primarily understood to mean strengthening or restoring the natural function of the skin as a barrier against environmental influences (for example, dirt, chemicals, microorganisms) and against the loss of endogenous substances (for example, water, natural fats, electrolytes).  
      Impairment of this function may lead to increased resorption of toxic or allergenic substances or to attack by microorganisms, resulting in toxic or allergic skin reactions.  
      Another aim of skin care is to compensate for the loss by the skin of sebum and water caused by daily washing. This is particularly important if the natural regeneration ability is inadequate. Furthermore, skin care products should protect against environmental influences, in particular against sun and wind, and delay skin aging.  
      Chronological skin aging is caused, for example, by endogenous, genetically determined factors. The following structural damage and functional disorders can arise, also under the term “senile xerosis”, for example, in the epidermis and the dermis as a result of aging: 
          a) Dryness, roughness and formation of dryness wrinkles,     b) Itching and altered pore structure of the skin     c) Reduced regreasing by sebaceous glands (e.g. after washing).        

      Exogenous factors, such as UV light and chemical noxae, can have a cumulative effect and, for example, accelerate or supplement the endogenous aging processes. In the epidermis and dermis, for example, the following structural damage and functional disorders arise in the skin in particular as a result of exogenous factors; these are more far-reaching than the degree and quality of the damage in the case of chronological aging: 
          d) Visible vascular dilation (teleangiectases, cuperosis);     e) Flaccidity and formation of wrinkles;     f) Local hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation and abnormal pigmentation (e.g., senile keratoses) and     g) Increased susceptibility to mechanical stress (e.g., cracking).        

      The present invention relates in particular to products for the care of skin that has aged naturally and to the treatment of secondary damage from light-aging, in particular the phenomena listed under a) through g).  
      Products for the care of aged skin are known per se. They comprise, for example, retinoids (vitamin A acid and/or derivatives thereof) or vitamin A and/or derivatives thereof. Their effect on structural damage is, however, limited. Furthermore, in product development, there are considerable difficulties in stabilizing the active ingredients to an adequate extent against oxidative decay. The use of products containing vitamin A acid, moreover, often causes severe erythematous skin irritations. Retinoids can therefore only be used in low concentrations.  
      In particular, the present invention relates to cosmetic preparations with an effective protection against harmful oxidation processes in the skin, but also to the protection of cosmetic preparations themselves or to the protection of the constituents of cosmetic preparations against harmful oxidation processes.  
      The harmful effect of the ultraviolet part of solar radiation on the skin is generally known. Whereas rays with a wavelength of less than about 290 nm (the so-called UVC range) are absorbed by the ozone layer in the earth&#39;s atmosphere, rays in the range between about 290 nm and about 320 nm, the so-called UVB range, cause erythema, simple sunburn or even burns of greater or lesser severity.  
      The narrower range around 308 nm is indicated to be the maximum of the erythematous effect of sunlight.  
      Numerous compounds are known for protecting against UVB radiation; these are derivatives of 3-benzylidene camphor, of 4-aminobenzoic acid, of cinnamic acid, of salicylic acid, of benzophenone and also of 2-phenylbenzimidazole.  
      It is also important to have available filter substances for the range between about 320 nm and about 400 nm, the so-called UVA region, since its rays can cause reactions in cases of photosensitive skin. It has been found that UVA radiation leads to damage of the elastic and collagen fibers of connective tissue, which results in premature aging of the skin, and is to be regarded as a cause of numerous phototoxic and photoallergic reactions. The harmful effect of UVB radiation can be intensified by UVA radiation.  
      To protect against rays of the UVA region, therefore, certain derivatives of dibenzoylmethane are used, the photostability of which is inadequate (Int. J. Cosm. Science 10, 53 (1988), the entire disclosure whereof is expressly incorporated by reference herein).  
      The UV radiation can, however, also lead to photochemical reactions, in which case the photochemical reaction products again interfere with the skin&#39;s metabolism.  
      Such photochemical reaction products are primarily free-radical compounds, for example hydroxyl radicals. Undefined free-radical photoproducts which form in the skin itself can also result in uncontrolled secondary reactions due to their high reactivity. Furthermore, singlet oxygen, a non-free-radical excited state of the oxygen molecule, can also arise during UV irradiation, as can short-lived epoxides and many others. Singlet oxygen, for example, differs from triplet oxygen (free-radical ground state), which is normally present, by its increased reactivity. However, excited, reactive (free-radical) triplet states of the oxygen molecule also exist.  
      UV radiation is also a type of ionizing radiation. There is therefore the risk that ionic species will also form during UV exposure, which then for their part are able to interfere oxidatively with the biochemical processes.  
      In order to prevent these reactions, additional antioxidants and/or free-radical scavengers can be incorporated into the cosmetic or dermatological formulations.  
      It has already been proposed to use vitamin E, a substance with known antioxidant activity, in sunscreen formulations, although, here too, the effect achieved falls far short of expectations.  
      It would be advantageous to have available cosmetically, dermatologically and pharmaceutically active substances and preparations, and sunscreen formulations for the prophylaxis and treatment of photosensitive skin, in particular photodermatoses, preferably PLD.  
      Further terms for polymorphous light dermatosis are PLD, PLE, Mallorca acne and numerous other terms as given in the literature (e.g., A. Voelckel et al.,  Zentralblatt Haut - und Geschlechtskrankheiten  (1989), 156, p. 2, the entire disclosure whereof is expressly incorporated by reference herein).  
      Antioxidants are mainly used as substances which protect against the deterioration of the preparations in which they are present. Nevertheless, it is known that in human and animal skin undesired oxidation processes can occur as well. Such processes play an important role in skin aging.  
      The article “Skin Diseases Associated with Oxidative Injury” in “Oxidative Stress in Dermatology”, p. 323 ff. (Marcel Decker Inc., New York, Basel, Hong Kong, Editor: Jürgen Fuchs, Frankfurt, and Lester Packer, Berkeley/Calif.), the entire disclosure whereof is expressly incorporated by reference herein, discusses oxidative skin damage and its more direct causes.  
      Also for the reason of preventing such reactions, antioxidants and/or free-radical scavengers can be additionally incorporated into cosmetic or dermatological formulations.  
      A number of antioxidants and free-radical scavengers are known. For example U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,144,325 and 4,248,861, the entire disclosures whereof are expressly incorporated by reference herein, and numerous other documents have already proposed the use of vitamin E, a substance with known antioxidant activity in sunscreen formulations, although here, too, the effect achieved falls far short of the desired effect.  
      The advantageous prophylactic and therapeutic effect of creatine in cosmetic and medical skin care is known per se. Creatine (from the Greek: τo κρεαç=“the meat”) is characterized by the following structure:  
                 
 
      Creatine is found in the myoserum of vertebrates in amounts of 0.05-0.4%, in small amounts also in the brain and blood. As a monohydrate, it is a colorless, crystalline powder. In aqueous solution, creatinine is formed. In the organism, it is formed by the transamidination of L-arginine on glycine to afford guanidinoacetic acid, and subsequent methylation thereof by means of S-adenosyl methionine (by guanidinoacetate methyltransferase). Creatine is regarded as an appetite-promoting constituent of beef and meat extract. The addition of creatine to the diet enhances physical performance.  
      The prior art is extensive on the cosmetic and dermatological uses of creatine. Thus, DE 100 32 964, the entire disclosure whereof is expressly incorporated by reference herein, describes the use of creatine and/or creatine derivatives in cosmetic or dermatological preparations for the treatment and prophylaxis of the symptoms of UV-induced and/or ozone-induced skin damage and of inflammatory and degenerative skin conditions.  
      JP 2000/247866, the entire disclosure whereof is expressly incorporated by reference herein, describes skin cosmetics with a content of creatine and/or creatinine which can be used as a cream or as a milky lotion, where excellent skin care properties are attributed to the relevant preparations.  
      Furthermore, WO 00/33787, the entire disclosure whereof is expressly incorporated by reference herein, describes the use of creatinine as an effective constituent of deodorants.  
      Moreover, EP-A-565 010, the entire disclosure whereof is expressly incorporated by reference herein, describes hair growth and hair dye preparations with a content of creatinine phosphate.  
      Finally, U.S. Pat. No. 4,590,067 and EP-A-178 602, the entire disclosures whereof are expressly incorporated by reference herein, describe the use of creatine or creatinine to produce preparations with anti-inflammatory effect.  
      However, there is the disadvantage that in aqueous products creatine and creatinine crystallize easily, whereby crystals with non-cosmetic impression form and the effectiveness of the product is reduced.  
      It is desirable to find ways of avoiding the disadvantages of the prior art. In particular, the effect of remedying the damage associated with endogenous, chronological and exogenous skin aging and the prophylaxis should be durable, sustained and without the risk of side effects.  
      It would further be advantageous to find a form of administering creatine that is characterized by a reduced tendency to form creatine crystals.

      The present invention also provides an O/W cream, an O/W emulsion, a gel cream and a hydrodispersion, all of which comprise the active substance combination of the present invention, including the various aspects thereof, as set forth above.  
      The present invention also provides a method for the prophylaxis or treatment of UV or ozone-induced skin damage and a method for the prophylaxis or treatment of inflammatory and degenerative skin. These methods comprise the application to at least a part of the skin of the preparation of the present invention, including the various aspects thereof.  
      A cosmetic or dermatological preparation according to the invention preferably comprises from about 0.001%, e.g., from about 0.01%, to about 10%, e.g., to about 1% by weight of creatine and/or creatine derivatives, based on the total weight of the preparation.  
      If derivatives of creatine are used, the preferred derivative is creatine phosphate, which has the following structure:  
                 
 
      Creatine phosphate is present in fresh muscle where it plays an important role as an energy-storing phosphate (phosphagen). In the working muscle, adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) and creatine are formed from creatine phosphate and adenosine 5′diphosphate under the influence of the enzyme creatine kinase. In the resting muscle the reverse reaction takes place.  
      Additionally, creatine sulfate, creatine acetate, creatine ascorbate and the derivatives esterified on the carboxyl group with mono- or polyfunctional alcohols are further non-limiting examples of advantageous creatine derivatives for use in the present invention.  
      Creatinine (likewise from the Greek: τo κρεαç=“the meat”) is characterized by the following structure:  
                 
 
      It is formed in the organism through nonenzymatic conversion of creatine phosphate according to the equation:  
                 
 
 and is secreted through the kidneys. The amount of the creatinine secretion is proportional to the muscle mass and is virtually constant for each individual. Creatinine is contained in meat extract and meat broth cubes. 
 
      A cosmetic or dermatological preparation according to the invention preferably comprises from about 0.001%, or from about 0.01% to about 10%, e.g., to about 1% by weight of creatinine and/or creatinine derivatives, based on the total weight of the preparation.  
      According to the present invention, creatine may advantageously be used without the presence of creatinine, and creatinine may advantageously be used without the presence of creatine. However, it is particularly advantageous to use both substances simultaneously in the active substance combinations and preparations according to the present invention, in particular if the weight ratio of creatinine to creatine is selected from about 10:1 to about 1:10, preferably from about 4:1 to about 3:7, more preferably from about 2:1 to about 1:2.  
      The group of retinoids which are advantageous according to the invention encompasses, in conceptual terms, all cosmetically and/or pharmaceutically acceptable retinoids, including retinol and its esters, retinal and retinoic acid and esters thereof.  
      Retinol is characterized by the following structure:  
                 
 
      Retinol (also: axerophthol; [3,7-dimethyl-9-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexenyl)-2,4,6,8-nonatetraen-1-ol) is synonymous with vitamin Al and is, analogously to the derivatives retin-1-carboxylic acid (vitamin A acid, retinoic acid, tretinoin) and esters thereof or retin-1-al (vitamin A aldehyde), also sometimes called vitamin A alcohol.  
      According to the invention, retinol esters may be used equally advantageously, either alone, or with one another or in combination with unesterified retinol in the active substance combinations according to the invention. The retinol esters for use in the invention preferably have the structure  
                 
 
 where X is preferably a branched or unbranched alkanoyl or alkenoyl radical having from 1 to about 25 carbon atoms. Retinol palmitate (=retinyl palmitate) is preferably chosen as retinol ester. 
 
      Retinal is characterized by the structure:  
                 
 
      Retinal [vitamin A1 aldehyde, 3,7-dimethyl-9-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexenyl)-2,4,6,8-nonatetraenal] is most stable in its all-trans form. Retinal, which was previously called retinene, forms, bonded to opsins, the sight pigments rhodopsin and iodopsin, as well as bacteriorhodopsin which serves other functions. Retinal forms by the oxidative cleavage of carotene.  
      Retinoic acid [vitamin A acid, all-trans-3,7-dimethyl-9-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexenyl)-2,4,6,8-nonatetraenoic acid] is characterized by the structure  
                 
 
      It is effective by suppressing sebum production in cases of acne which are particularly severe, but it also has teratogenic activity. Nevertheless, in certain medically indicated cases, the use of retinoic acid or its esters may be advantageous and is in this regard to be seen in such cases as “acceptable.” 
      A cosmetic or dermatological preparation according to the invention preferably comprises from about 0.001%, e.g., from about 0.01% to about 10%, e.g., to about 1% by weight of one or more retinoids, in particular retinol, based on the total weight of the preparations.  
      According to the invention, the active substance combinations are preferably used in cosmetic or dermatological preparations with a content of from about 0.0005% e.g., from about 0.01%, from about 0.02%, or from about 0.5% to about 50%, e.g., to about 20%, to about 10%, to about 5%, or to about 3% by weight, based on the total weight of the preparation.  
      The effective substance combinations according to the invention can easily be incorporated into established cosmetic or dermatological formulations, advantageously in pump sprays, aerosol sprays, creams, ointments, tinctures, lotions, nail care products (e.g., nail polishes, nail polish remover, nail balms) and the like.  
      It may also be possible and in some instances advantageous to combine the active substance combinations according to the invention with other active substances, for example with other antimicrobial, antimycotic or antiviral substances.  
      It is advantageous to buffer the compositions according to the invention. A pH range of from about 3.5 to about 7.5 is advantageous. It is particularly advantageous to select the pH in a range of from about 4.0 to about 6.5.  
      The cosmetic and/or dermatological preparations according to the invention can have the customary composition and can be used for treating the skin and/or the hair in the sense of a dermatological treatment or a treatment in the sense of care cosmetics. They can however also be used in makeup products in decorative cosmetics.  
      The cosmetic and/or dermatological formulations of the present invention may have a conventional composition and can be used to treat the skin and/or the hair in terms of a dermatological treatment or a treatment in terms of cosmetic care. However, they can also be used in cosmetic products for decorative cosmetics.  
      The cosmetic and dermatological preparations which are in the form of a sunscreen are advantageous. They may advantageously additionally comprise at least one UVA filter and/or at least one UVB filter and/or at least one inorganic pigment.  
      Cosmetic formulations according to the invention for the protection of the skin against UV rays can take various forms, as are, e.g., customarily used for this type of preparation. By way of non-limiting example, they can be present in the form of a solution, an emulsion of the water-in-oil (W/O) type or of the oil-in-water (O/W) type, or a multiple emulsion, for example of the water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) type, a gel, a hydrodispersion, a solid stick, or also an aerosol.  
      The cosmetic formulations according to the invention may comprise cosmetic auxiliaries as are customarily used in such preparations, e.g., preservatives, bactericides, antioxidants, perfumes, antifoams, dyes, coloring pigments, thickeners, surface-active substances, emulsifiers, emollients, moisturizers and/or humectants, fats, oils, waxes and other customary constituents of a cosmetic formulation, such as alcohols, polyols, polymers, foam stabilizers, electrolytes, organic solvents or silicone derivatives.  
      If the cosmetic or dermatological formulation is present in the form of a solution or lotion, non-limiting examples of solvents which may be used include: 
          water or aqueous solutions;     oils, such as triglycerides of capric or of caprylic acid, but preferably castor oil;     fats, waxes and other natural and synthetic fatty substances, preferably esters of fatty acids with alcohols of low carbon number, e.g., with isopropanol, propylene glycol or glycerin, or esters of fatty alcohols with alkanoic acids of low carbon number or with fatty acids;     alcohols, diols or polyols of low carbon number, and ethers thereof, preferably ethanol, isopropanol, propylene glycol, glycerin, ethylene glycol, ethylene glycol monoethyl or monobutyl ether, propylene glycol monomethyl, monoethyl or monobutyl ether, diethylene glycol monomethyl or monoethyl ether and analogous products.        

      In particular, mixtures of the above-mentioned solvents may be used. In the case of alcoholic solvents, water may be a further constituent.  
      According to the invention, favorable antioxidants which may be used include all antioxidants which are suitable or customary for cosmetic and/or dermatological applications.  
      The antioxidants are advantageously chosen from the group consisting of amino acids (for example, glycine, histidine, tyrosine, tryptophan) and derivatives thereof, imidazoles (for example, urocanic acid) and derivatives thereof, peptides, such as D,L-carnosine, D-carnosine, L-camosine and derivatives thereof (for example, anserine), carotenoids, carotenes (for example, α-carotene, β-carotene, lycopene) and derivatives thereof, lipoic acid and derivatives thereof (for example, dihydrolipoic acid), aurothioglucose, propylthiouracil and other thiols (for example, thioredoxin, glutathione, cysteine, cystine, cystamine and the glycosyl, N-acetyl, methyl, ethyl, propyl, amyl, butyl and lauryl, palmitoyl, oleyl, γ-linoleyl, cholesteryl and glyceryl esters thereof) and salts thereof, dilauryl thiodipropionate, distearyl thiodipropionate, thiodipropionic acid and derivatives thereof (esters, ethers, peptides, lipids, nucleotides, nucleosides and salts) and sulfoximine compounds (for example, buthionine sulfoximines, homocysteine sulfoximine, buthionine sulfones, penta-, hexa- and heptathionine sulfoximine) in very low tolerated doses (for example, pmol to μmol/kg), and furthermore (metal) chelating agents (for example, α-hydroxy-fatty acids, palmitic acid, phytic acid, lactoferrin), α-hydroxy acids (for example, citric acid, lactic acid, malic acid), humic acid, bile acid, bile extracts, bilirubin, biliverdin, EDTA, EGTA and derivatives thereof, unsaturated fatty acids and derivatives thereof (for example, γ-linolenic acid, linoleic acid, oleic acid), licochalcones, licochalcone A (from radix glycyrrhizae inflatae), folic acid and derivatives thereof, ubiquinone and ubiquinol and derivatives thereof, vitamin C and derivatives (for example, ascorbyl palmitate, Mg ascorbyl phosphate, Na ascorbyl phosphate, ascorbyl acetate), tocopherols and derivatives (for example, vitamin E acetate), vitamin A and derivatives (vitamin A palmitate) and coniferyl benzoate of benzoin resin, rutic acid and derivatives thereof, isoflavones (isoflavone 150) and isoflavonoids, ferulic acid and derivatives thereof, butylated hydroxytoluene, butylated hydroxyanisole, nordihydroguaiac resin acid, nordihydroguaiaretic acid, trihydroxybutyrophenone, uric acid and derivatives thereof, mannose and derivatives thereof, zinc and derivatives thereof (for example ZnO, ZnSO 4 ), selenium and derivatives thereof (for example, selenium methionine), stilbenes and derivatives thereof (for example, stilbene oxide, trans-stilbene oxide) and the derivatives of these active substances mentioned which are suitable according to the invention (salts, esters, ethers, sugars, nucleotides, nucleosides, peptides and lipids).  
      The amount of the antioxidants (one or more compounds) in the preparations is preferably from about 0.001% to about 30% by weight, particularly preferably from about 0.05% to about 20% by weight, in particular from about 1% to about 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the preparation.  
      The preparations according to the invention may contain cosmetic auxiliaries, as are customarily used in such preparations, e.g., preservatives, bactericides, deodorants, antiperspirants, insect repellents, vitamins, antifoams, dyes, coloring pigments, thickeners, emollients, moisturizers and/or humectants, fats, oils, waxes and other customary constituents of a cosmetic formulation, such as alcohols, polyols, polymers, foam stabilizers, electrolytes, organic solvents or silicone derivatives.  
      Moreover, preparations according to the invention may advantageously comprise substances which absorb UV radiation in the UVB range, the total amount of filter substances being, for example, about 0.1% by weight to about 30% by weight, preferably about 0.5 to about 10% by weight, in particular about 1 to about 6% by weight, based on the total weight of the preparations, in order to provide cosmetic preparations that can protect the hair or the skin from the entire range of ultraviolet radiation. They can also be used as sunscreen for the hair.  
      If the preparations according to the invention contain UVB filter substances, these can be oil-soluble or water-soluble. Non-limiting examples of advantageous oil-soluble filters for use in the invention include, e.g.: 
      3-benzylidenecamphor und derivatives thereof, preferably 3-(4-methylbenzylidene)-camphor,     4-aminobenzoic acid derivatives, preferably 2-ethylhexyl 4-(dimethylamino)benzoate, amyl 4-(dimethylamino)benzoate;     esters of cinnamic acid, preferably 2-ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate, isopentyl 4-methoxycinnamate;     esters of salicylic acid, preferably 2-ethylhexyl salicylate, 4-isopropylbenzyl salicylate, homomenthyl salicylate;     derivatives of benzophenone, preferably 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone, 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-4′-methylbenzophenone, 2,2′-dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone;     esters of benzalmalonic acid, preferably di(2-ethylhexyl) 4-methoxybenzalmalonate;     2,4,6-trianilino-(p-carbo-2′-ethyl-1′-hexyloxy)-1,3,5-triazine.    

      Non-limiting examples of advantageous water-soluble substances include, e.g.:

      The list of said UVB filters which can be used in combination with the active substance combinations according to the invention is of course not intended to be limiting.  
      It may also be advantageous to use UVA filters which are customarily present in cosmetic and/or dermatological preparations. Such filter substances are preferably derivatives of dibenzoylmethane, in particular 1-(4′-tert-butylphenyl)-3-(4′-methoxyphenyl)propane-1,3-dione and 1-phenyl-3-(4′-isopropylphenyl)propane-1,3-dione. They may be used in the same amounts that have been given for UVB combinations.  
      Particularly if crystalline or microcrystalline solids, e.g., inorganic micropigments, are to be incorporated in the preparations according to the invention the latter may also contain anionic, nonionic and/or amphoteric surfactants. Surfactants are amphiphilic substances that can dissolve organic, nonpolar substances in water.  
      The hydrophilic moieties of a surfactant molecule are mostly polar functional groups, for example —COO − , —OSO 3   − , —SO 3   − , while the hydrophobic moieties are usually nonpolar hydrocarbon radicals. Surfactants are generally classified according to the type and charge of the hydrophilic molecular moiety. In this connection, it is possible to distinguish between four groups: 
          anionic surfactants,     cationic surfactants,     amphoteric surfactants and     nonionic surfactants.        

      Anionic surfactants usually have as functional groups carboxylate, sulfate or sulfonate groups. In aqueous solution, they form negatively charged organic ions in acidic or neutral media. Cationic surfactants are characterized almost exclusively by the presence of a quaternary ammonium group. In aqueous solution they form positively charged organic ions in acidic or neutral media. Amphoteric surfactants contain both anionic and cationic groups and accordingly in aqueous solution behave like anionic or cationic surfactants, depending on the pH value. In strongly acidic media they have a positive charge, and in alkaline media they carry a negative charge. By contrast, in the neutral pH range, they are zwitterionic, as the example below serves to illustrate:  
                                          RNH 2   + CH 2 CH 2 COOHX −     (at pH = 2)   X −  = any anion, e.g. Cl −         RNH 2   + CH 2 CH 2 COO −     (at pH = 7)       RNHCH 2 CH 2 COO − B +     (at pH = 12)   B +  = any cation, e.g. Na. +                    
 
      Polyether chains are typical of nonionic surfactants. Nonionic surfactants do not form ions in an aqueous medium.  
      A. Anionic Surfactants

              2. acylpeptides, for example, palmitoyl-hydrolysed milk protein, sodium cocoyl-hydrolysed soy protein and sodium/potassium cocoyl-hydrolysed collagen,

      Quaternary surfactants contain at least one N atom which is covalently bonded to 4 alkyl or aryl groups. Irrespective of the pH value, this results in a positive charge.
