Moreover, the present invention relates to the use of specific proteins from skin appendages of mammals, birds, fish, insects or crustaceans for at least partially influencing the sweat gland (s).

In addition, the present invention relates to the use of a combination comprising at least one substance selected from the group of cosmetic oils which are liquid at 20 ° C. and 1013 hPa, fragrances and waxes, optionally at least one propellant and special proteins from mammalian skin appendages, Birds, fish, insects or crustaceans containing, for the reduction and / or prevention of sweat, in particular underarm sweat or sweat other body regions.

The addition of the at least one special protein results in an influence on the sweat gland (s).

Finally, the present invention relates to a non-therapeutic cosmetic method for preventing and / or reducing the transpiration of the body, in which a Inventive antiperspirant cosmetic agent on the skin, especially on the skin of the armpits, is applied and for at least 1 hour, preferably for at least 2 hours, preferably for at least 4 hours, especially for at least 6 hours, remains on the skin of the armpits.

Washing, cleaning and caring for one's own body is a basic human need, and modern industry is constantly trying to meet these needs of man in a variety of ways. Especially important for daily hygiene is the permanent elimination or at least reduction of body odor and underarm wetness. Numerous specific deodorant or antiperspirant personal care products are known in the art which have been developed for use in body regions having a high density of sweat glands, especially in the underarm area. These are formulated in a wide variety of dosage forms, for example as powder, in stick form, as aerosol spray, pump spray, liquid and gel roll on application, cream, gel and as impregnated flexible substrates (towels).

Prior art cosmetic antiperspirants contain at least one antiperspirant compound, in particular in the form of halides and / or hydroxyhalides of aluminum and / or zirconium, in addition to at least one oil or a wax and a fragrance component or perfume. These antiperspirant compounds reduce sweat secretion of the body by temporarily narrowing and / or obstructing the excretory ducts of the sweat glands, so that the amount of sweat can be reduced by about 20 to 60 percent. On the other hand, they have an additional deodorizing effect due to their antimicrobial effect.

Halides and / or hydroxy halides of aluminum and / or zirconium, combined with the acidic pH of these antiperspirants, can cause unpleasant skin reactions in some users. In addition, the use of the aforementioned antiperspirant compounds can lead to staining on clothing.

There is therefore a need to exchange antiperspirant halides and / or hydroxy halides of aluminum and / or zirconium with other antiperspirant cosmetic agents. These antiperspirant active ingredients should have a good antiperspirant effect, good skin compatibility and easy formulatability. In addition, these antiperspirant active ingredients should have no negative impact on the storage stability of the antiperspirant cosmetic agents.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a perspiration-inhibiting cosmetic agent which avoids or at least mitigates the disadvantages of the prior art and which has good skin compatibility and at the same time reliable reduction has the underarm wetness. In addition, the antiperspirant cosmetic agent should have a high storage stability.

It has now surprisingly been found that the use of at least one protein from skin appendages of mammals, birds, fish, insects or crustaceans, which with a change in the pH of at least 0.5 in a pH range of pH 4.0 to pH 8.0 results in a change in the light absorption of 1 to 100%, resulting in antifreezing halides and / or hydroxy halides of aluminum and / or zirconium in antiperspirant effect in cosmetic products, which with the antiperspirant effect of formulations containing aluminum salts and / or aluminum Zirconium complexes is almost comparable.

The subject of the present invention is thus an antiperspirant cosmetic containing

wherein the antiperspirant cosmetic agent does not contain halides and / or hydroxy halides of aluminum and / or zirconium.

In this way, an effective blockage of the excretory ducts of the sweat glands can be ensured without the antiperspirant effect of the cosmetic product according to the invention due to premature undesired gelation due to the addition of the at least one specific protein is reduced. Furthermore, the targeted influencing the sweat gland (s) but also in a disturbance of the charge balance within the sweat gland (s) exist, which leads to an influence on the sweat production, in particular to a reduction of welding production. Thus, even in the absence of antiperspirant halides and / or hydroxy halides of aluminum and / or zirconium, effective reduction of armpit sweat is ensured.

* according to the invention

a> Croquat WKP PE-LQ (WD); (INCI: cocodimonium hydroxypropyl hydrolyzed keratin; 30% by weight solution in water; M _w about 1, 000 Da; Croda)

To determine the change in light absorption, a Methrom Titrando 905 from Methrom (USA) was used, which was equipped with a Methrom Optrode 6.11 15,000 and a pH Electrode is equipped by Methrom. The Methrom Titrando 905 is controlled via the Tiamo software from Methrom. First, 30 ml of a sample solution according to Table 1, which had a pH of 3.0, were placed in the open sample vessel of the Methrom Titrando 905. Subsequently, at 23 ° C. and 1 .013 mbar with stirring (stirring speed 8 of the Titrando 905, corresponding to 750 to 850 rpm), a 1% strength by weight sodium bicarbonate solution was continuously added until a pH of 7.5 was reached , During the addition of the 1% strength by weight sodium bicarbonate solution, the light transmission of a light beam through this sample solution was measured with a Methrom Optrode 6.1 1 15,000 at a wavelength of 574 nm (green-yellow) in mV (resolution 0.1 mV). Each measurement is carried out twice and from this the mean value is formed.

On the back of 16 test persons 40 μί of the antiperspirant agent Vl and 75 μί of the cosmetic product EI l according to the invention were applied in each case on one side next to the backbone. After 5 minutes, the treated sites were covered with occlusive non-adsorbent film. After 2 hours, these non-absorbent pads were removed. The compositions were each applied to the back of the subjects for four consecutive days in the manner previously described. 24 h after the last application of the composition, absorbent pads were applied to the backs of the test persons applied to the places where previously the compositions were applied. Furthermore, on the other side of the spine at the same height also pads were applied, which served as a control. After sweating for about 15 minutes at 80 ° C in the sauna, the amount of perspiration absorbed by the pads was determined gravimetrically, comparing each composition with the corresponding untreated spot on the back. From the gravimetric determination of the amount of sweat, the sweat reduction was determined, with all the values determined were statistically significant.

The sweat reduction of the respective composition compared to an untreated skin site is shown in the following table:

The use of the particular protein results in a significant reduction in sweat reduction and in a satisfactory antiperspirant effect.
