Abstract
Cleansing wipes comprising a composition comprising an anionic surfactant and/or a soap, a betaine surfactant, polyquaternium (7) and/or polyquaternium (10), an antimicrobially effect amount of an organic acid, a humectant and a chelating agent. A method of manufacturing a cleansing wipe comprises preparing a first wipe then removing a major proportion of water present to obtain a second wipe. Wipe articles may be obtained that do not have an undesirable or slimy feel on removal from their package.
Description
WO 2015/022495 PCT/GB2014/052388 CLEANSING WIPES 5 The present invention relates to wipe products which are advantageously used to treat the skin, hair or other dermal surfaces. In a preferred method of use the wipe products are advantageously used in the treatment of hands, face, and/or other parts of the human body. 10 While the use of bar soaps, as well as liquid soaps are widely known and are widely used, the use of such products is often inconvenient. The use of such bar soap, or liquid soap products requires that such product be carried by a consumer, used, and any remaining portion of the bar soap or liquid soap composition be either abandoned, stored, or further carried by the consumer after its use. Also, typically a consumer or is required 15 to you use such a product without the concurrent advantages of a cleaning implement, or such a cleaning implement, e.g., a wipe article must be either provided by the consumer, or be provided at the point of use of any skin treatment operation. Also known to the art are consumer products which include a composition which is impregnated within a wipe article. Such consumer products typically include a wipe article or other cleaning 20 substrate, and having a high proportion of a treatment composition absorbed or absorbed therein/thereon. Disadvantageously, such a high proportion of the treatment composition often results in a wipe article which is difficult to remove from adjacent wipe articles one packaged, and/or which have a undesirable or "slimy" feel after their withdrawn from the package. Such discourage the use of many such wipe products in that they are unpleasant 25 to initially handle. Additionally, the relatively higher proportion of the treatment composition if first applied to the hands, parts of body or other dermal surface, also leads to the swift deposition of an often undesirable, slick or film layer upon a treated surface, e.g, dermal surface. Such is undesirable, particularly if applied to the hands which thereafter are used to activate a source of rinse water, i.e., a faucet which diminishes the 30 grip, and also leaves an undesired, film layer upon a faucet, or other water dispensing apparatus. After multiple uses, such deposits upon faucets or other water dispensing 1 WO 2015/022495 PCT/GB2014/052388 apparatus leave an unsightly build-up and additionally, typically attract dust from the ambient environment, further worsening the overall appearance of a faucet or other water dispensing apparatus. While such might be easily cleaned off, consumers typically are not in the habit of wiping down faucets, or other water dispensing apparatus after each 5 use of such a cleaning article, and again rinsing their hands or other dermal surfaces. Thus, notwithstanding the plethora available consumer products, there is still a need for improvements in wipe products which are advantageously used in the treatment of hands, face, and/or other parts of the human body. In a preferred aspect the present invention comprises a cleansing wipe article 10 having adsorbed thereon and/or absorbed within the a wipe substate a skin treatment composition which comprises (or consists essentially of, or consists of) a composition which includes: 0.01 - 7%wt. of an anionic surfactant and/or a soap; 0.1 - 7%wt. of a betaine surfactant; 15 0.01 - 2%wt. of a Polyquaternium material selected from Polyquaternium 7, and/or Polyquaternium 10; 0.01 - 0.4%wt. of an antimicrobially effective amount of an organic acid; 0.01 - 2%wt. of a humectant; 0.01 - 0.5%wt. of a chelating agent; 20 0 - 25%wt. of one or more further compositions, constituents are compounds which provide a further technical and/or aesthetic benefits to the soap bars, q.s., water, which foregoing skin treatment composition is absorbed or adsorbed into or onto the wipe substrate, wherein the relative mass of the skin treatment composition is about 25 0.5 - 20 grams (preferably about 5 grams) per gram of dry wipe substrate, and/or is about 15 - 650 grams (preferably about 160 grams) of the skin treatment composition per square meter of the wipe substrate. In another aspect, the present invention provides a method for the treatment of dermal surfaces, which method comprises the step of: 30 dispensing a quantity of a skin treatment composition from a wipe article having absorbed therein and/or absorbed thereon the said skin treatment composition onto a 2 WO 2015/022495 PCT/GB2014/052388 dermal surface in order to provide a cleaning and/or skin treatment and/or antimicrobial benefit to the treated dermal surface. In a further aspect there is provided a vendible product which comprises: a package or container, preferably which is in the form of a dispensing package or 5 container which includes a resealable opening therein, and one or more, but preferably a plurality of cleansing wipe articles as described herein. In a still further aspect there is provided a method for the manufacture of a cleansing wipe article as disclosed herein, as well as manufacture of a vendible product comprising one or more cleansing wipe articles as described herein. 10 These and further aspects of the invention will become more apparent from a further consideration of the following specification.

When present in a such a composition, the fragrance constituent may be present in any effective amount such that it can be discerned by a consumer of the cleansing wipes, however is advantageously present in amounts of up to about 5%wt., 5 preferably from about 0.00001%wt. to about 1. 5%wt., most preferably from about 0.0001%wt. to 0.25%wt. based on the total weight of the skin treatment composition of which it forms a part. The skin treatment compositions may include one or more colorants, e.g, dyes or pigments which are known to the art be useful in cosmetic or topical compositions which 10 may be used to impart a desired color or tint to the inventive skin treatment compositions. When present, such colorants may be present in any effective amount such that it can be discerned by a consumer of the cleansing wipes, however is advantageously present in amounts of up to about 1.5%wt., preferably from about 0.00001%wt. to about 1.0%wt of Further optional constituents which may be advantageously included in the skin 15 treatment composition is a pH adjusting agent, which may be used to adjust, and/or buffer the pH of the skin treatment composition. Essentially any material which may increase or decrease the pH of the skin treatment composition is suitable as a pH adjusting agent. Suitable pH adjusting agents are one or more acids and/or bases whether such be based on organic and/or inorganic compounds or materials. By way of non-limiting example, 20 pH adjusting agents include phosphorus containing compounds, monovalent and polyvalent salts such as of silicates, carbonates, and borates, certain acids and bases, tartrates and certain acetates. Further exemplary pH adjusting agents include mineral acids, basic compositions, and organic acids, which are typically required in only minor amounts. Further exemplary and useful pH adjusting agents include monoalkanolamines, 25 dialkanolamines, trialkanolamines, and alkylalkanolamines such as alkyl dialkanolamines, and dialkyl-monoalkanolamines. Such may also function as detersive surfactants. The alkanol and alkyl groups are generally short to medium chain length, that is, from I to 7 carbons in length. By way of further non-limiting example, pH buffering agents also include the alkali metal phosphates, polyphosphates, 30 pyrophosphates, triphosphates, tetraphosphates, silicates, metasilicates, polysilicates, carbonates, hydroxides, and mixtures of the same. Certain salts, such as the alkaline 12 WO 2015/022495 PCT/GB2014/052388 earth phosphates, carbonates, hydroxides, can also function as buffers. It may also be suitable to use as buffers such materials as aluminosilicates (zeolites), borates, aluminates and certain organic materials such as gluconates, succinates, maleates, citrates, and their alkali metal salts. It is to be noted that certain of the pH adjusting agents may also 5 provide a chelating benefit as well. When present, the one or more optional pH adjusting agents/pH buffers are included in amounts which are effective in establishing and/or maintaining the pH of a skin treatment composition at or within a desired pH value or range of pH values. Preferably the pH of the skin treatment composition is in the range of 4 - 9.5. 10 Advantageously the one or more pH adjusting agents, comprise from about 0.001 2.5%wt., preferably from about 0.01 - 1.5%wt. of the skin treatment composition of which the one or more pH adjusting agents form a part. A further optional constituent of the invention is a fragrance. Fragrances may be based on natural and synthetic fragrances and most commonly are mixtures or blends of a 15 plurality of such fragrances, optionally in conjunction with a carrier such as an organic solvent or a mixture of organic solvents in which the fragrances are dissolved, suspended or dispersed. When present in a composition, the fragrance constituent may be present in any effective amount such that it can be discerned by a consumer of the cleansing wipe, however is advantageously present in amounts of up to about 5%wt., preferably 20 from about 0.00001%wt. to about 1.5%wt. of the skin treatment composition. Optionally the skin treatment composition may further include one or more skin benefit agents which may be used to promote an improved skin feel, or to improve skin health or appearance. Such include but are not limited to lipids such as cholesterol, ceramides, and pseudoceramides; sunscreens such as cinnamates; exfoliant particles such 25 as polyethylene beads, walnut shells, apricot seeds, flower petals and seeds, and inorganics such as silica, and pumice; additional emollients (skin softening agents) such as long chain alcohols and waxes e.g., lanolin; additional moisturizers; skin-toning agents; skin nutrients such as vitamins like Vitamin C, D and E and essential oils like bergamot, citrus unshiu, calamus, and the like; water soluble or insoluble extracts of 30 avocado, grape, grape seed, myrrh, cucumber, watercress, calendula, elder flower, geranium, linden blossom, amaranth, seaweed, gingko, ginseng, carrot; impatiens 13 WO 2015/022495 PCT/GB2014/052388 balsamina, camu camu, alpine leaf and other plant extracts such as witch-hazel, and mixtures thereof, which may be provided to provide a fragrance, an aromatherapy or other benefit to users of the cleansing wipe. When present, such skin benefit agents may be included in effective amounts, and generally if present are not required amounts in 5 excess of about 5%wt. based on the total weight of the skin treatment composition of which it forms a part. In particularly preferred embodiments, the skin treatment composition necessarily essentially excludes volatile organic solvents, particularly one or more organic solvents selected from: monohydric alcohols, particularly C-C 6 monohydric alcohols, especially 10 methanol, ethanol, and the various isomers of propanol and butanol, as well as other volatile organic solvents having a boiling point of up to 120'C at 760 mm Hg (= 1 atmosphere). In the context of the present application, materials identified as examples of humectants, or as carriers for fragrances, essential oils or other optional constituents are not considered to fall within the class of excluded organic solvents. Thus, 15 "essentially excludes volatile organic solvents" is to be understood as meaning that the skin treatment compositions include not more than 0. 5%wt., and in order of increasing preference, not more than 0.

A dry wipe substrate preferably has a moisture content of less than 10 %wt, more preferably less than 5%wt., prior to the application of the skin treatment compositions thereto. Preferably during manufacture, after application of the skin treatment composition to a dry wipe, at least about 75%, and in order of increasing 30 preference, at least about 8 0%,, 8 1%, 8 2 %, 8 3 %, 8 4 %, 8 5%, 8 6 %, 8 7 %, 8 8 %, 8 9 %, 9 0 %, 14 WO 2015/022495 PCT/GB2014/052388 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.5%, 99.5% of the water initially present in the skin treatment composition is removed. In a preferred embodiment, where the substrate is a substantially planar woven or nonwoven sheet or wipe, the relative mass of the foregoing skin treatment composition 5 prior to the removal of a major proportion ( e.g. >90%, more preferably > 95%) of the water is about 0.5 - 20 grams (preferably about 5 grams) per gram of dry wipe substrate to which the skin treatment composition is applied. In a further preferred embodiment, following the removal of a major proportion ( e.g. > 9 0%, more preferably > 9 5%) of the water initially present in the skin treatment composition, the skin treatment compositions 10 is about 0.015 - 0.75 grams, preferably 2 - 5.5 grams of the treatment composition per gram of the dry wipe substrate. Examples of suitable substrates include, without limitation: sponges, wipe articles, towels, cloths, pads and the like. Wipe articles can be of a woven or non-woven nature. Fabric substrates can include nonwoven or woven pouches, sponges, in the form 15 of abrasive or non-abrasive cleaning pads. Such fabrics are known commercially in this field, and are generally substantially planar. Frequently, individual pieces of such fabrics are often referred to as wipes. Generally, such wipe articles are substantially planar in configuration, and have a thickness which is much less (generally at least 10 times less, preferably at least 100 times less) then the length and/or width of the wipe 20 article. As such, such generally planar wipe articles are typically considered to be substantially "two-dimensional" type articles. Commonly such wipes may be provided as individual sheets which are provided as an individual article, or a plurality of folded wipes, or as a web of individual separable wipes joined at regions or lines of perforations and supplied upon a roll and whereby, an individual wipe can be separated from the roll 25 by tearing along such a line of perforations. Such wipes can be resin bonded, hydroentanged, thermally bonded, meltblown, needlepunched or any combination of the former. Nonwoven fabrics may be a combination of wood pulp fibers and textile length synthetic fibers formed by well known dry-form or wet-lay processes. Synthetic fibers 30 such as rayon, nylon, orlon and polyester as well as blends thereof can be employed. The wood pulp fibers should comprise about 30 to about 60 percent by weight of the 15 WO 2015/022495 PCT/GB2014/052388 nonwoven fabric, preferably about 55 to about 60 percent by weight, the remainder being synthetic fibers. The wood pulp fibers provide for absorbency, abrasion and soil retention whereas the synthetic fibers provide for substrate strength and resiliency. Surprisingly the cleansing wipe articles of the invention initially appear to be 5 substantially dry to the touch when provided to the consumer and thereby, the undesirable initial "slimy" feel prevalent among many known-art consumer products is avoided. Additionally, as the wipe articles in the invention can be used to provide a useful skin treatment benefit using little, or no water added to the wipe article and/or applied to a hands or other dermal surfaces to which the wipe article is thereafter contacted, such 10 provides for a much greater degree of control by the consumer utilizing the cleaning wipe article of the delivery of the skin treatment composition. Such is advantageous particularly where a source of available water to subsequently used to rinse the hand or other dermal surfaces is unavailable, or available only in limited quantities. Further, it is observed that following the removal of the majority of the water from the initial skin 15 treatment composition after it has been applied to a substrate (preferably, a sheet or wipe article), that the resultant cleansing wipes retain a smooth, slightly damp tactile feel and may be used even in the absence of additional water, or rinse water. Advantageously however, a small amounts, or even greater amount of water is applied to wets the hands, or other dermal surfaces prior to, but preferably during the use of the cleansing wipe 20 article in order to express a satisfactory amount of foam or lather on to the treated dermal surfaces. Additionally, such also aids in the release of the antimicrobially effective amount of an organic acid from the cleansing wipe, and thereby an effective antimicrobial effect is imparted to the treated dermal surfaces. The wipe articles may be used to provide a treatment benefit to a human or other 25 mammalian body, preferably hands, face, and/or other parts of the human body, e.g, epidermis, and hair.. Such treatment benefits include one or more of: a cleaning benefit, topical application of the skin treatment composition provided by the wipe article to a dermal surface and/or hair, and/or an antimicrobial benefit. A further aspect of the invention is a method for providing a cleaning and/or 30 providing an germicidal benefit to skin or other topical surface which method contemplates the topical application of the a skin treatment composition via a wipe article 16 WO 2015/022495 PCT/GB2014/052388 as described herein in a cleaning and/or germicidally effective amount. Preferably according to the foregoing method, a germicidal benefit is provided to the skin or other topical surface to which has been applied a treatment composition present upon on within a wipe article or other substrate. Preferred embodiments of the largely aqueous topical 5 antimicrobial cleaning compositions exhibit good germicidal efficacy of undesired microorganisms, such as gram positive and/or gram negative bacterial, e.g., S.aureus, E.coli, P.auruginosa, as well as E.hirae on dermal (viz., skin. body) surfaces. Cleansing wipes according to the invention can be produced by first producing a suitable quantity of a skin treatment composition, which is thereafter applied to a suitable 10 substrate, most preferably a wipe to thereafter absorb, and/or adsorb the skin treatment composition within and/or upon said wipe. Advantageously, a role of a substrate is used to produce a plurality of wipes simultaneously. The use of a roll substrate also provides for use of known equipment, processes whereby the liquid skin treatment composition is introduced to the wipe substrate. For example a quantity of the skin treatment 15 composition can be applied by spraying, dipping, padding, rolling, partially immersing, or holy immersing the wipe substrate within the skin treatment composition. Optionally, but may cases preferably, a series of pinch rollers can be used to squeeze the thus treated wipes substrate, in order to limit the amount of the liquid skin treatment composition absorbed and/or absorbed. Thereafter, a major portion of the water is removed, and such 20 is most advantageously inconveniently performed by passing the treated substrate over one or more heated rollers whereby the substrate is in contact for a sufficient amount of time whereby at least 75%wt., preferably, at least 80%, and more preferably about 85%wt. of the water present in the skin treatment compositions is withdrawn or removed, such as by evaporation. Removal of the water can be further facilitated by including 25 auxiliary equipment which may be fans, blowers, which may optionally provide further air streams to the wipe substrate being treated, in order to accelerate the removal of water. The wipe substrate having absorbed or adsorbed liquid skin treatment composition can also be subjected to reduced pressure, such as a partial vacuum, under which conditions the removal of the water can be facilitated. Any combination of such 30 manufacturing processes and/or conditions may be used. 17 WO 2015/022495 PCT/GB2014/052388 Following the removal of water, advantageously the skin treatment composition of the cleansing wipe article (product) comprises (or consists essentially of, or consists of) : 25 - 70%wt., preferably 44 - 50%wt. of an anionic surfactant and/or a soap; 5 7 - 22%wt., preferably 12 - 20%wt. of a betaine surfactant; 0.6 - 1.7%wt., preferably 0.9 - 1.25%wt. of at least one Polyquaternium material selected from Polyquaternium 7, and/or Polyquaternium 10; 5.7 - 17.2%wt., preferably 9.5 - 13.2%wt of an antimicrobially effective amount of an organic acid; 10 5.7 - 17.2%wt., preferably 9.5 - 13.2%wt. of a humectant; 0.25 - 0.85%wt., preferably 0.48 - 0.65%wt. of a chelating agent; 0 - 0. 5%wt. of of one or more further compositions, constituents are compounds which provide a further technical and/or aesthetic benefits to the composition, q.s., water, preferably less than 0.5%wt. water, 15 the said composition having a pH in the range of 4 - 9, and wherein the relative mass of the foregoing composition is 0.015 - 0.75 grams, preferably 0.12 - 0.175 grams per gram of dry wipe substrate, and/or 0.5 - 25 grams, preferably 2 - 5.5 grams of the foregoing composition per square meter of a wipe substrate. 20 One or more cleansing wipe articles may be provided in a suitable package, or the cleansing wipes can be used individually without a package. When provided in a suitable package, a single cleansing wipe or a plurality of cleansing wipes may be provided, and such one or more wipes can be withdrawn as desired by a consumer or other ultimate user from the package and ultimately used to treat a dermal surface. The package may be a 25 single use package, such as a pouch's physical integrity is destroyed upon opening, or may be a resealable package, or by following the removal of one or more wipes, package can be resealed to isolate the remaining cleansing wipes within the package from the surrounding environment. Such packaged cleansing wipe articles provide embodiments of the vendible articles of the invention. 30 The following examples below illustrate exemplary embodiments of the invention. It is to be understood that these examples are provided by way of illustration 18 WO 2015/022495 PCT/GB2014/052388 only and that further useful embodiments of the invention falling within the scope of the description of the present invention and the claims may be readily produced by one of ordinary skill in the art without deviating from the scope and spirit of the invention. 5 Examples: Example compositions according to the invention are identified on Table 1.

Ahlstrom Co.) at an initial loading of 8.03 grams the skin treatment composition was applied to the 5 said dry wipe substrate, yielding 160.5 grams the skin treatment composition per square meter of wipe substrate. Thereafter the thus treated substrate was subjected to a drying process, wherein either the substrate loaded with the skin treatment composition is allowed to air dry to remove most of the water initially present, or the thus treated substrate passes over or under a drying station, e.g, one or more heated rollers which 10 induce the removal of most of the water initially present, or other processing equipment, e.g, infrared heaters, microwave heaters, which are similarly effective in removing most of the water initially present in the skin treatment composition loaded onto the dry wipe nonwoven substrate material. In this process, approximately 97%wt. of the water initially present in the composition described on Table 1 was removed. The resultant 15 composition of the skin treatment composition present in the wipe article was as follows: 46.55%wt. sodium lauryl ether sulfate (70%) 15.9%wt. cocoamidopropyl betaine (29%) 11.47%wt. salicylic acid 11.47%wt. glycerine 20 1.14%wt Polyquatemium-7 20 WO 2015/022495 PCT/GB2014/052388 0.34%wt citric acid (anhydrous) 0.57%wt tetrasodium EDTA (87%) 11.

The cleansing wipe articles may optionally but preferably be packaged so that a plurality of wipe articles are provided in a container as a vendible product, which allows for one or more of the wipe articles to be withdrawn from the package and used, as desired by a consumer. The manufactured cleansing wipe articles were tested by rinsing with a small 15 amount of water to wet the article, and thereafter the wipe article was applied to the hands in a wiping manner to release the constituents of the resultant skin treatment composition onto the skin to provide a cleaning benefit thereto. The cleansing wipe articles initially appeared to be substantially dry to the touch and did not have an initial "slimy" feel. Good foaming and effective cleaning of the hands was observed when 20 used. 21
