(en)FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention refers to the area of cosmetics and relates to new active mixtures for increasing hair growth, in particular elongation and density of eyelashes and eyebrows.
STATE OF THE ART
Eyelash length, thickness and volume are key attributes for female customers that bring a glamorous expression to their eyes. In accordance to these needs nowadays mascaras should not only decorate the eyes, but should bring additional and long-term care benefits to eyelashes.
From the state of the art several actives are known for increasing hair growth in general and improve elongation and thickness of eyelashes in particular. For example, WO 2012 143845 A2 (Sederma) proposes for this purpose biotinoyl tripeptide-1, which is also known under the trademark “Widelash”.
Another type of biosurfactant that is suggested for stimulation of the keratine gene expression is disclosed in WO 2007 143006 A2 (Therapeutic Peptides). The application deals with acylated oligopeptides of the general formula Acyl-AA-Term, in which Acyl stands for C 8 -C 22 acyl radical, AA represents a sequence of 4 to 9 amino acids, and Term means an acid C-terminus or an amide C-terminus. However, in vivo test it was shown, that for increasing eye lash density and/or hair growth a minimum concentration of 50 to 100 ppm peptide/g serum is necessary. In other words: to achieve the desired effect relatively high concentrations of the peptides are necessary.
Therefore, the object underlying the present invention has been to provide an improved active or active mixture that simultaneously increases hair growth, in particular hair shaft elongation and density of eyelashes and eyebrows, at lower concentrations as reported in the state of the art, and is dermatological save.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Object of the present invention is an active mixture comprising
(a) acylated oligopeptides and
(b) troxerutin.
Surprisingly, it has been observed that the mixture leads to improved keratinocyte synthesis and thus fibre production, encourages the synthesis of adhesion molecules as for example laminin and collagen in the dermis/epithelium sheath junction, providing an optimal hair anchorage. For example using only 20 ppm of myristoyl-1-pentapeptide-17 together with 0.1% troxerutin results in an increase in eyelash density of up to 15% in 28 days and of up to 22% in 42 days.
Acylated Oligopeptides
Acylated oligopeptides forming component (a) of the present invention are fully described in international patent application WO 2007 143006 A2 (Therapeutic Peptides). As far as the structure and the manufacture of the components is concerned, this document is incorporated by reference. The oligopeptides show low critical micelle concentrations of typically less than about 100 ppm and can lower surface tension in an aqueous Minimal Essential Media (MEM) to less than about 50 dynes/cm 2 . Preferably, component (a) is a C 6 -C 22 acylated oligopeptide and/or an acylated oligopeptide with 4 to 9 amino acid units, terminated either by an acid or an amide group or biotinoyl tripeptide-1. More preferably, component (a) is a C 6 -C 22 acylated oligopeptide with 4 to 9 amino acid groups, terminated either with an acid or an amide group. The most preferred species is myristoyl-1-pentapeptide-17.
Troxerutin
Troxerutin (component b) is a flavonol, a type of flavonoid. It is more accurately a hydroxy-ethylrutoside of formula (I):
Troxerutin can be isolated from Sophora japonica , the Japanese pagoda tree and is mainly is used as a vasoprotective (see C. Riccioni et al., Minerva cardioangiologica 52(1), p. 43-48 (2004). Troxerutin has been shown in mice to reverse CNS insulin resistance and reduce reactive oxygen species induced by a high-cholesterol diet (see Lu et al., Brain, 134(3), p. 783-797 (2011).
The acylated oligopeptides forming component (a) and troxerutin representing component (b) may be present in the mixture in a ratio by weight of from about 1:99 to about 99:1, preferably from about 25:75 to about 75:25 and more preferably from about 50:50 to about 90:10. The most preferred range is from about 80:20 to 98:2.

A.18 Odour Absorbers and Antiperspirant Active Agents
Suitable odour absorbers are substances which are able to absorb and largely retain odour-forming compounds. They lower the partial pressure of the individual components, thus also reducing their rate of diffusion. It is important that perfumes must remain unimpaired in this process. Odour absorbers are not effective against bacteria. They comprise, for example, as main constituent, a complex zinc salt of ricinoleic acid or specific, largely odour-neutral fragrances which are known to the person skilled in the art as “fixatives”, such as, for example, extracts of labdanum or styrax or certain abietic acid derivatives. The odour masking agents are fragrances or perfume oils, which, in addition to their function as odour masking agents, give the deodorants their respective fragrance note. Perfume oils which may be mentioned are, for example, mixtures of natural and synthetic fragrances. Natural fragrances are extracts from flowers, stems and leaves, fruits, fruit peels, roots, woods, herbs and grasses, needles and branches, and resins and balsams.

Preference is, however, given to using mixtures of different fragrances which together produce a pleasing fragrance note. Essential oils of relatively low volatility, which are mostly used as aroma components, are also suitable as perfume oils, e.g. sage oil, camomile oil, oil of cloves, melissa oil, mint oil, cinnamon leaf oil, linden flower oil, juniperberry oil, vetiver oil, olibanum oil, galbanum oil, labdanum oil and lavandin oil. Preference is given to using bergamot oil, dihydromyrcenol, lilial, lyral, citronellol, phenylethyl alcohol, α-hexylcinnamaldehyde, geraniol, benzylacetone, cyclamen aldehyde, linalool, boisambrene forte, ambroxan, indole, hedione, sandelice, lemon oil, mandarin oil, orange oil, allyl amyl glycolate, cyclovertal, lavandin oil, clary sage oil, β-damascone, geranium oil bourbon, cyclohexyl salicylate, Vertofix coeur, iso-E-super, Fixolide NP, evernyl, iraldein gamma, phenylacetic acid, geranyl acetate, benzyl acetate, rose oxide, romilat, irotyl and floramat alone or in mixtures; talcum.

7.Description:
(en)FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention refers to the area of cosmetics and relates to new active mixtures for increasing hair growth, in particular elongation and density of eyelashes and eyebrows.
STATE OF THE ART
Eyelash length, thickness and volume are key attributes for female customers that bring a glamorous expression to their eyes. In accordance to these needs nowadays mascaras should not only decorate the eyes, but should bring additional and long-term care benefits to eyelashes.
From the state of the art several actives are known for increasing hair growth in general and improve elongation and thickness of eyelashes in particular. For example, WO 2012 143845 A2 (Sederma) proposes for this purpose biotinoyl tripeptide-1, which is also known under the trademark “Widelash”.
Another type of biosurfactant that is suggested for stimulation of the keratine gene expression is disclosed in WO 2007 143006 A2 (Therapeutic Peptides). The application deals with acylated oligopeptides of the general formula Acyl-AA-Term, in which Acyl stands for C 8 -C 22 acyl radical, AA represents a sequence of 4 to 9 amino acids, and Term means an acid C-terminus or an amide C-terminus. However, in vivo test it was shown, that for increasing eye lash density and/or hair growth a minimum concentration of 50 to 100 ppm peptide/g serum is necessary. In other words: to achieve the desired effect relatively high concentrations of the peptides are necessary.
Therefore, the object underlying the present invention has been to provide an improved active or active mixture that simultaneously increases hair growth, in particular hair shaft elongation and density of eyelashes and eyebrows, at lower concentrations as reported in the state of the art, and is dermatological save.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Object of the present invention is an active mixture comprising
(a) acylated oligopeptides and
(b) troxerutin.
Surprisingly, it has been observed that the mixture leads to improved keratinocyte synthesis and thus fibre production, encourages the synthesis of adhesion molecules as for example laminin and collagen in the dermis/epithelium sheath junction, providing an optimal hair anchorage. For example using only 20 ppm of myristoyl-1-pentapeptide-17 together with 0.1% troxerutin results in an increase in eyelash density of up to 15% in 28 days and of up to 22% in 42 days.
Acylated Oligopeptides
Acylated oligopeptides forming component (a) of the present invention are fully described in international patent application WO 2007 143006 A2 (Therapeutic Peptides). As far as the structure and the manufacture of the components is concerned, this document is incorporated by reference. The oligopeptides show low critical micelle concentrations of typically less than about 100 ppm and can lower surface tension in an aqueous Minimal Essential Media (MEM) to less than about 50 dynes/cm 2 . Preferably, component (a) is a C 6 -C 22 acylated oligopeptide and/or an acylated oligopeptide with 4 to 9 amino acid units, terminated either by an acid or an amide group or biotinoyl tripeptide-1. More preferably, component (a) is a C 6 -C 22 acylated oligopeptide with 4 to 9 amino acid groups, terminated either with an acid or an amide group. The most preferred species is myristoyl-1-pentapeptide-17.
Troxerutin
Troxerutin (component b) is a flavonol, a type of flavonoid. It is more accurately a hydroxy-ethylrutoside of formula (I):
Troxerutin can be isolated from Sophora japonica , the Japanese pagoda tree and is mainly is used as a vasoprotective (see C. Riccioni et al., Minerva cardioangiologica 52(1), p. 43-48 (2004). Troxerutin has been shown in mice to reverse CNS insulin resistance and reduce reactive oxygen species induced by a high-cholesterol diet (see Lu et al., Brain, 134(3), p. 783-797 (2011).
The acylated oligopeptides forming component (a) and troxerutin representing component (b) may be present in the mixture in a ratio by weight of from about 1:99 to about 99:1, preferably from about 25:75 to about 75:25 and more preferably from about 50:50 to about 90:10. The most preferred range is from about 80:20 to 98:2.

A.18 Odour Absorbers and Antiperspirant Active Agents
Suitable odour absorbers are substances which are able to absorb and largely retain odour-forming compounds. They lower the partial pressure of the individual components, thus also reducing their rate of diffusion. It is important that perfumes must remain unimpaired in this process. Odour absorbers are not effective against bacteria. They comprise, for example, as main constituent, a complex zinc salt of ricinoleic acid or specific, largely odour-neutral fragrances which are known to the person skilled in the art as “fixatives”, such as, for example, extracts of labdanum or styrax or certain abietic acid derivatives. The odour masking agents are fragrances or perfume oils, which, in addition to their function as odour masking agents, give the deodorants their respective fragrance note. Perfume oils which may be mentioned are, for example, mixtures of natural and synthetic fragrances. Natural fragrances are extracts from flowers, stems and leaves, fruits, fruit peels, roots, woods, herbs and grasses, needles and branches, and resins and balsams.

Preference is, however, given to using mixtures of different fragrances which together produce a pleasing fragrance note. Essential oils of relatively low volatility, which are mostly used as aroma components, are also suitable as perfume oils, e.g. sage oil, camomile oil, oil of cloves, melissa oil, mint oil, cinnamon leaf oil, linden flower oil, juniperberry oil, vetiver oil, olibanum oil, galbanum oil, labdanum oil and lavandin oil. Preference is given to using bergamot oil, dihydromyrcenol, lilial, lyral, citronellol, phenylethyl alcohol, α-hexylcinnamaldehyde, geraniol, benzylacetone, cyclamen aldehyde, linalool, boisambrene forte, ambroxan, indole, hedione, sandelice, lemon oil, mandarin oil, orange oil, allyl amyl glycolate, cyclovertal, lavandin oil, clary sage oil, β-damascone, geranium oil bourbon, cyclohexyl salicylate, Vertofix coeur, iso-E-super, Fixolide NP, evernyl, iraldein gamma, phenylacetic acid, geranyl acetate, benzyl acetate, rose oxide, romilat, irotyl and floramat alone or in mixtures; talcum.
