4 Aerosol shampoo coinposit ion The following statement is a full description of this invention including the best method of performing it known to us: *i' The invention concerns an aerosol shampoo composition with improved use properties.

From a good shampoo composition users mainly expect a satisfactory cleansing effect, development of full, creamy lather upon application, economical use, good compatibility with skin and mucous tissue precluding any skin irritations or allergenic potential, and, optionally, also a hair-conditioning effect.

Many shampoo compositions are known which attempt to meet these expectations, however, not always achieving the same.

O German Patent Application No. 198 18 737.8 provides a shampoo composition fulfilling the afore-mentioned conditions.

This shampoo composition contains in an aqueous carrier 5% to 50% by weight, calculated to the total composition, of at least one anionic, amphoteric, zwitterionic and/or nonionic surfactant as well as a propellant mixture of at least one low-boiling hydrocarbon propellant 1~ and carbon dioxide. The composition is free from preservatives, and, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, also free from perfume components.

The invention starts from the task of providing additional improvement to this older shampoo composition.

It was found that an aerosol shampoo of simple composition and excellent foaming properties as well as good hair-conditioning properties can also be prepared if the carbon dioxide necessarily present in the propellant mixture disclosed in the aforementioned older patent application is replaced by a propellant consisting exclusively of low hydrocarbons, such as propane, butane and/or isobutane.

Accordingly, object of the invention is an aerosol shampoo composition comprising at least by weight, calculated to the total composition, of water, not more than 20% by weight, calculated to the total composition, of at least one surfactanit, at least one hair-conditioning substance, and, as propellant at least one low hydrocarbon, and which being free from Spreservatives.

In principle, aerosol shampoo compositions have been known for some time.

However, according to the statements in the monography by K. Schrader, "Grundlagen und Rezepturen der Kosroetika", 2nd. Ed. (1989), p. 897, this product has no "justified existence".

because, firstly, the packaging is said to be relatively expensive, and, secondly, disposal of the material being damaging to the environment, and moreover the problems regarding possible corrosion still posing substantial problems.

It wa- therefore surprising that the compositions according to the invention neither have a corrosive effect nor do they show any other disadvantages; quite to the contrary they provide the afore-mentioned benefits, the aerosol foam furthermore permits easy distribution throughout the entire hair to be shampooed and thus optimizes the cleansing effect.

~2OWO 98/27 935, 98/27 936, 98/27 937 and 98/27 938 Al already disclose aerosol shampoos which are particularly intended to permit improved deposit of a skin- and hair-cleansisng composition on the hair and scalp. Furthermore, these compositions should not comprise more than 25%, preferably 15% by weight of water and at least 1I% by weight of surfactants, which naturally leads to very expensive products.

It was therefore surprising and, in view of the prior art could not be foreseen that the compositions according to the invention would result in an excellent hair-conditioning effect.

Preferred low-boiling hydrocarbon propellants are in particular propane, n-butane and/or $0b isobutane, preferably in admixture. As supplementary components it is possible to use fuirther low-boiling hydrocarbons, ini particular n-pentane.

The proportion of the shampoo composition to the propellant preferably ranges from about 1 to 20: 1, in particular from about 12:1 to about 16: 1.

3 With the exception of preservatives and, optionally, perfume components, the compositions according to the invention contain the substances customarily found in shampoos.

These substances are in particular surfactants, preferably aniionic surfactants.

Anionic surfactants suitable within the scope of the invention are present in amounts of at most 20%, preferably at least 5% to about 15% by weight, calculated to the total composition.

These are surfactants of the sulfate, sulfonate, carboxylate and alkyl phosphate type, especially, of course, those customarily used in shampoo compositions, for example, the known C 10 -Cjs -alkyl sulfates, and in particular the respective ether sulfates, for example, C 1 2 14 -alkyl ether sulfate, lauryl ether sulfate, especially with 1 to 4 ethylene oxide groups in the molecule, furthermore movoglyceride (ether) sulfates, fatty acid amide sulfates, obtained by ethoxylation and subsequent sulfatation of fatty acid alkanolarnidcs, and the alkali salts thereof, as well as the salts of long-chain mono- and dialkyl phosphates, which are mild, skincompatible detergents.

Further anionic surfactants useful within the scope of the invention are aX-olefmn sulfonates or the salts thereof and in particular alkali salts of sulfosucccinic acid semniesters, for example the .Odisodiwrn salt of monooctyl sulfosuccinate arnd alkcali salts of long- chain rnonoailkyl ethoxysulfosuccinates.

Suitable surfactants of the carboxylate type are alkyl polyether carboxylic acids and the salts thereof of the formula R- (C 2

A further preferred component is ethoxydiglycol, preferably in an amount from 0.1% to 5% by weight, calculated to the total shampoo composition according to the invention.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the shampoos according to the 1o invention may also comprise dyestuffs for the direct or oxidative dyeing of human hair, i.e. socalled tinting or dyeing shampoos.

Especially suited are tinting shampoos containing direct-acting dyestuffs.

This is by virtue of the fact that by using such shampoos comprising the surfactant composition according to the invention, and in particular cationic direct-acting dyestuffs, 11 especially brilliant. glossy and stable hair colorations in comparison to known tinting shampoos on the basis of conventional surfactants or surfactant mixtures are achieved.

The pH-value of the shampoos according to the invention has the customary range between about 5 trod 8.5; for special products it can also be adjusted below The viscosity ranges between about 500 and about 1,500 mPaos at 20 preferably from about 100 to about 600, in particular 250 to 500 mPaes at 20 C, measured according to Brookfield or Ho~ppler at a shear rate of 10 s 1 :Suitable as containers for dispensing the aerosol shampoos according to the invention are both, aluminium monobloc cans as well as tin plate cans, preferably with an inner coating, for example on the basis of epoxy resin. as well as plastic or glass containers.

oooe I The products according to the invention are prepared by mixing the individual components in "'.addition of the propellant under pressure.

12 The following Example illustrates the invention: 100 parts by weight of an aqueous composition of 10.00 by wt. Sodium lauryl ether sulfate EO) 1.50 Cocoarnphodiacetate, sodium salt 2.00 C 12 -C[4-Alkyl polyglucoside 0.30 Polymer JR (Cationic cellulose polymer) 0.70 PEG-7-Glyceryl cocoate 0.05 NaO, 32% 0.45 Citric acid monohydrate 0.30 Perfume ad 100.00 Water 16 were filled into an aluminum aerosol can together with 5 g of a customary propane/butane propellant mixture.

This shampoo composition showed excellent foaming properties and was easy to distribute into the hair. Even upon long-term use, persons allergic to preservatives developed no allergic O or skin-sensitizing effects.

By omitting the perfume component, it is also possible to prepare an absolutely non-irritating shampoo for persons allergic to perfume.

After three months storage, examination of the opened cans containing the product according to the above Example showed absolutely no corrosion.

Furthermore, in spite of the absence of preservatives, the composition was found to contain no germs.

Surprisingly, in. a double blind test conducted on ten persons each with an identical composition which had not been packed as aerosol shampoo, a clear preference was also established for the composition according to Example I with regard to gloss, combability, smoothness, suppleness and volume of the hair.
