Abstract

The invention relates to emulsifier systems for cosmetic and pharmaceutical oil-in-water emulsions comprising high molecular weight organomodified polysiloxanes with a dispersion index greater than 1.6.

Claims (13)

1. An emulsifier system for cosmetic and pharmaceutical oil-in-water emulsions comprising at least one high molecular weight organomodified polysiloxane with a polydispersity greater than 1.6, wherein a fraction of the polysiloxanes with a molecular weight of ≧1*10 5 g/mol is above 2%, based on the total amount of the polysiloxane, and wherein the at least one organomodified polysiloxane comprises a polyethersiloxane of general formula I

M 2+c+2d D a D′ b T c Q d   formula I,

wherein M=(R 1 R 2 2 Si O 1/2 ), D=(R 2 , SiO 2/2 ), D′=(R 2 R 3 Si 2/2 ), T=(R 2 Si O 3/2 ), Q=(Si O 4/2 ), a=30−800, b=1−15, c=0−2, d=0−2, R 1 =R 2 or R 3 , R 2 =independently of one another, identical or different linear or branched, optionally aromatic hydrocarbon radicals having 1 to 16 carbon atoms, which optionally carry OH or ester functions, R 3 =independently of one another, identical or different polyether radicals of the general formula II

—CH 2 —CH 2 —(CH 2 ) n O(EO) x (PO) y (XO) z R 4   formula II,

wherein EO=(C 2 H 4 O), PO=(C 3 H 6 O), XO=(C 2 H 3 R 5 O), n=1−9, x=2−50, y=0−50, z=0−10, R 4 =independently of one another, identical or different radicals selected from the group consisting of H, alkyl radicals having 1 to 16 carbon atoms, and carboxylate radicals, R 5 ═independently, of one another, identical or different radicals selected from the group consisting of alkyl radicals having 2 to 16 carbon atoms, which are optionally interrupted by ether functions, alkaryl radicals having 7−18 carbon atoms, and aryl radicals having 6 to 16 carbon atoms, and wherein x/(y+z) is >1.

2. The emulsifier system according to claim 1 , wherein the fraction of polysiloxanes with a molecular weight of ≧1*10 4 g/mol is above 75%, based on the total amount of the polysiloxane.

3. The emulsifier system according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio a/b is >5.

4. The emulsifier system according to claim 1 , wherein the polyethersiloxane of general formula I comprises, on average, at least three polyether radicals, and the maximum number of polyether radicals R 3 bonded to the molecule is <a/5.

5. The emulsifier system according to claim 1 , wherein the polydispersity of the polysiloxane is adjusted by mixing polysiloxanes with different molecular weights.

6. The emulsifier system according to claim 1 , wherein the polydispersity of the polyethersiloxane is adjusted by reacting the polyethersiloxane with polyfunctional reactive substrates via the end groups of the polyether.

7. The emulsifier system according to claim 1 , wherein the polydispersity of the polysiloxane is adjusted by using polyfunctional double-bond-containing substrates during the preparation of the polysiloxane in the course of the hydrosilylation.

8. A liquid, pumpable emulsifier system according to claim 1 , wherein said liquid, pumpable emulsifier system comprises a liquefying agent as an additional component.

9. A cosmetic, dermatological or pharmaceutical oil-in-water emulsion or dispersion including at least the emulsifier system according to claim 1 .
