Abstract

Aerosol shampoo formulation comprising at least 60 wt.% water and up to 20 wt.% anionic, amphoteric, zwitterionic and/or nonionic surfactant(s), optionally together with hair conditioner(s), includes at least one low-boiling hydrocarbon as the sole propellant and contains no preservatives.

Description

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, Salso a hair-conditioning effect.

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

0O 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 o* the total composition, of at least one anionic, amphoteric, zwitterionic and/or nonionic o*~o surfactant as well as a propellant mixture of at least one low-boiling hydrocarbon propellant 0: 15 and carbon dioxide. The composition is free from preservatives, and, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, also free from perfume components.

0 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 JS 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 surfactant, at least one hair-conditioning substance, and, as propellant at least one low hydrocarbon, and which being frce 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 ~QRezepturen der Kosmetika', 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 was 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-mnentioned benefits, the aerosol foam furthermore permits easy distribution throughout the entire hair to be shampooed and thus optimizes the cleansing effect.

WO 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 arnd scalp. Furthermore, these compositions should not. comprise more than 25%, preferably 15% by weight of water and at least 18% by weight of sur'factants, 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 isobutane, preferably in admixture. As supplementary components it is possible to use fther 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.

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 anionic 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 Cio-CIs -alkyl sulfates, and in particular the respective ether sulfates, for example, C 2

C

1 4 -alkyl ether sulfate, lauryl ether sulfate, especially with 1 to 4 ethylene oxide groups in the molecule, furthermore monoglyceride (ether) sulfates, fatty acid amide sulfates, obtained by ethoxylation and subsequent sulfatation of fatty acid alkanolamides, 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 ac-olefin sulfonates or the salts thereof and in particular alkali salts of sulfosucccinic acid semiesters, for example the disodium salt of monooctyl sulfosuccinate and alkali salts of long- chain monoalkyl "ethoxysulfosuccinates.

Suitable surfactants of the carboxylate type are alkyl polyether carboxylic acids and the salts thereof of the formula R- (C2H40)n- 0 CH 2

Cg-C 2 o- acylisethionates can also be used alone or in admixture with other surfactants, as well as sulfofatty acids and the esters thereof.

It is also possible to use mixtures of several anionic surfactanits, for example a mixture of an cx-olefine sulfonate and a sulfosuccinate, preferably in a proportion of 1:3 to 3: 1, or an ether sulfate and a polyether carboxylic acid or alkyl amidoether carboxylic acid.

An overview of the anionic surfactants used in liquid body cleansing compositions can be found in the monography of K.Schrader, "Grundlageri und Rezepturen der Kosmetika", 2nd Ed., (1989, HUthig Buchverlag), pp. 595-600 and pp. 683 to 691.

The amount of anionic surfactants especially preferred in the liquid shampoo compositions according to the invention ranges between about 5% and about I5% by weightl, particularly between about 7.5% to about 12%, especially preferred at about 10% by weight, calculated to O the total composition.

Further useful anionic surfactants are also Cs-C2 2 -acyl aminocarboxylic acids or the watersoluble salts thereof, preferably in an amount firm 0.5% to especially 1% to 2.5% by weight, calculated to the total composition. Especially preferred are N-lauroyl glutamnate, in particular the sodium salt, and, N-lauroyl sarcosinate, N-C 12 -C I -acyl aspartic acid, Ninyristoyl sarcosinate, N-oleoyl sarcosinate, N-lauroyl methyl alarine, N-Iauroyl lysine and Nlauroyl amninopropyl glycine, especially as water-soluble alkali or ammonium, in particular sodium salts thereof, preferably in admixture with the above-named anionic surfactants.

1O Further suitable surfactants in the shampoo compositions according to the invention are nonionic surfactants, preferably in admixture with anionic and/or zwitterionic or arnphateric surfactants.

These are described in Schrader, on pages 600-601 and pages 694-695.

15 Mixtures of anionic surfactants and alkyl polyglucosides as well as their use in liquid body cleansing compositions are known per se, for example from EP-A 70 074. The alkyl polyglucosides described therein are basically also suitable within the scope of the present S"invention; also the mixtures of sulfosuccinates and alkyl polyglucosides known from EP-A 358 216.

Further nonionic surfactant components are, for example, long-chain fatty acid mono- and dialkanolamides, such as coco fatty acid monoethanolamide and myristic fatty acid monoethanolamide, which can also be used as foam enhancers.
