Abstract

The present disclosure relates to cosmetic agents which, in addition to an antiperspirant compound and/or a deodorant active ingredient, contain a combination of special cyclical alcohols and specific menthyl compounds. These agents have a high and long-lasting deodorizing effect. The present disclosure also concerns a cosmetic product containing the cosmetic agent as contemplated herein, as well as at least one propellant. Moreover, the present disclosure relates to the use of agents as contemplated herein for treating body odor, as well as the use of a combination of cyclical alcohol and menthyl compound to increase the odor-inhibiting effect of cosmetic agents.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. Cosmetic agent comprising, relative to the total weight thereof,
a) at least one alcohol of the Formula (I)

wherein
R 1 and R 2 denote, independently of one another, hydrogen, a linear C 2 -C 10 hydroxyalkyl group or a branched C 2 -C 10 hydroxyalkyl group, on condition that R 1 and R 2 do not both denote hydrogen,
b) at least one menthyl compound of the Formula (II)

wherein
R 3 denotes a C 1 -C 4 -alkyl group, a C 2 -C 6 hydroxyalkyl group or a pyrrolidone radical and
c) at least one antiperspirant compound and/or at least one deodorant active ingredient, wherein the cosmetic agent contains no additional scents or mixtures thereof selected from the group of perfume oils, perfumes, or perfume oil constituents, wherein the at least one alcohol of the Formula (I) is selected from the group of 2-methyl-5-cyclohexylpentanol, 1-cyclohexylethanol, dimethylolcyclohexane, or combinations thereof, and wherein the at least one menthyl compound of the Formula (II) is selected from the group of menthyl acetate, menthyllactate, pyroglutamic acid-menthylester, or combinations thereof, and wherein the at least one alcohol of the Formula (I) is present in a total quantity of about 0.15 wt. % and the at least one menthyl compound of the Formula (II) is present in a total quantity of about 0.15 wt. %, in each case relative to the total weight of the cosmetic agent.

2. Cosmetic agent according to claim 1 , wherein the cosmetic agent is free of antiperspirant compounds.

3. Cosmetic product, comprising
a) at least one cosmetic agent according to claim 1 , and
