Cosmetic composition with watertight fragrance

Abstract

The present invention refers to a cosmetic composition which, in particular, enables the perfume component resist wash off by water and sweat and to remain fixed on the skin for a long time watertightly. The cosmetic composition comprises fragrance and a fragrance-fixing complex consisting of 0.01-10% by weight of a hydrophobic, alcohol-soluble, carboxylated acrylates/octylacrylamide copolymer and 0.01-10% by weight of a hydrolyzed jojoba ester. Further the complex is able to significantly reduce the total amount of fragrances while giving the same scent feeling to the consumer.

1 . A cosmetic composition with a watertight fragrance which composition comprises at least a fragrance and 0.1 to 15% by weight of a fragrance-fixing complex which fragrance-fixing complex comprises 0.01 to 10% by weight of a hydrophobic, alcohol-soluble, carboxylated acrylates/octylacrylamide copolymer and 
 0.01 to 10% by weight of a hydrolyzed jojoba ester,    and where all percents are related to the total weight of the cosmetic composition.    
   
   
       2 . The composition of  claim 1  wherein additionally an alcohol or an alcohol/water mixture is present.  
   
   
       3 . The composition of  claim 1  wherein the amount of the copolymer is in the range of 0.1 to 5% by weight.  
   
   
       4 . The composition of  claim 3  wherein the amount of the copolymer is in the range of 0.1 to 1% by weight.  
   
   
       5 . The composition of  claim 1  wherein the amount of the jojoba ester is in the range of 0.1 to 5% by weight.  
   
   
       6 . The composition of  claim 5  wherein the amount of the jojoba ester is in the range of 0.1 to 1% by weight.  
   
   
       7 . The composition of  claim 1  wherein the fragrances are present in an amount ranging between 0.01 and 35% by weight.  
   
   
       8 . The composition of  claim 7  wherein the fragrances are present in an amount ranging between 0.1 and 16% by weight.  
   
   
       9 . The composition of  claim 8  wherein the fragrances are present in an amount ranging between 0.1 and 8% by weight.  
   
   
       10 . The composition of  claim 1  wherein the hydrolyzed jojoba ester is one of plant origin ( Simmondsia chinensis ) having a saponification value according to AOCS Cd 3-25* of max. 1 mg KOH/g, a iodine value according to AOCS Cd 1d-92* of between 14 and 17 g/100 g and a trans isomer value according to AOCS Cd 14-95* of max. 0.1% by weight wherein * means a test procedure according to American Oil Chemists Society.  
   
   
       11 . The composition of  claim 1  wherein the complex is provided in a cosmetic product selected from the group consisting of perfumes, Eau de Toilettes, hair products, body care products, sun care products, antiperspirants, deodorants, detergents and products of color cosmetic.  
   
   
       12 . The composition of  claim 1  wherein the share of the complex in the cosmetic product is in the range of 0.5 to 10% by weight.  
   
   
       13 . The composition of  claim 1  wherein the share of the complex in the cosmetic product is in the range of 0.5 to 4% by weight.  
   
   
       14 . The composition of  claim 1  wherein the share of the complex in the cosmetic product is in the range of 0.5 to 1.5% by weight.  
   
   
       15 . The composition of  claim 1  wherein further cosmetic auxiliaries, cosmetic actives and carrier substances as they are commonly used in such preparations are ingredients of the composition.  
   
   
       16 . A cosmetic composition which comprises 0.1 to 15% by weight of a fragrance-fixing complex which complex contains 0.01 to 10% by weight of a hydrophobic, alcohol-soluble, carboxylated acrylates/octylacrylamide copolymer and 0.01 to 10% by weight of a hydrolyzed jojoba ester, and a fragrance in the range between 0.1 and 20% by weight, where the fragrance is reduced by 20% by weight without loss of the fragrance intensity of the cosmetic composition, and where all percents are related to the total weight of the cosmetic composition.
