Core-shell particles with a high content of glycerol, their production and use
View Patent ↗The invention relates to core-shell particles, the shell of which includes aggregated, hydrophobicized silicon dioxide particles, and the core of which includes a liquid phase, and in which the ratio of aggregated, hydrobicized silicon dioxide particles to the liquid phase, based on the total weight of the particles, is 2:98 to 40:60, where 60-100% by weight of glycerol is present in the liquid phase. The invention further encompasses the production of these core-shell particles and also their use for cosmetic purposes.
1. A core-shell particle comprising a shell and a core, wherein the shell comprises silanized, aggregated, hydrophobicized silicon dioxide particles and the core comprises a liquid phase, and wherein the ratio of silanized, aggregated, hydrophobicized silicon dioxide particles to the liquid phase, based on the total weight of the particles, is 2:98 to 40:60, wherein 60-100% by weight of glycerol is present in the liquid phase, up to 10% by weight of water is present in the liquid phase, and one or more cosmetic active ingredients are additionally present in the liquid phase.
2. The core-shell particle according to claim 1 , wherein one or more cosmetic auxiliaries are additionally present in the liquid phase.
3. The core-shell particle according to claim 2 , wherein the weight fraction of the cosmetic auxiliaries and the cosmetic active ingredients together is up to 25% by weight, based on the liquid phase.
4. The core-shell particle according to claim 1 , wherein the surface tension of the liquid phase at 25° C. is 55-75 mN/m.
5. A process for producing the core-shell particle according to claim 1 , comprising:
charging each constituent of the liquid phase into a container,
optionally, homogenizing the liquid phase,
adding the silanized, aggregated, hydrophobicized silicon dioxide particles to the liquid phase to form a mixture, and
shearing the mixture.
6. A hair-styling powder comprising core-shell particles according to claim 1 .
7. A process comprising applying to keratinous material a cosmetic comprising core-shell particles according to claim 1 .
8. The core-shell particle according to claim 2 , wherein the one or more cosmetic active ingredients and the one or more cosmetic auxiliaries are selected from the group consisting of UV photoprotective filters, UV photoprotective dyes, UV photoprotective pigments, deodorant active ingredients, antiperspirant active ingredients, biogenic substances, insect repellent active ingredients, hydrotropes, antidandruff active ingredients, bleaches, skin lightening agents, self-tanning agents, preservatives, surfactants/emulsifiers, perfume oils, plant extracts, film formers, oils, emollients and inorganic salts.
