Abstract

ABSTRACT

Aqueous hair shampoo compositions having low eye irritation potential along with excellent foaming and cleansing characteristics consisting of mixtures of 2-alkyl-substituted imdazoline ampholytic surfactants, polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene block copolymer nonionic surfactants and alcohol ether sulfate anionic surfactants.

Description

~0~15142'7 : `

Field of the Invention .
m is invention relates to aqueous shampoo ccmpositions comprising mixtures of specified anionic, nonionic and c~mpholytic surfactants and having desirably high levels of cleansing and foaming while at the sclme time exhibiting low levels of eye irritation.
- Background of the Invention It has long been the goal of those engaged in the development and formulation of shampoo products for use on human hair to achieve the best possible balance of the criteria perceived c~d use~ by the cons~mer as measures of product satisfaction.
One of these criteria is the ability of a shampoo to cleanse the hair and scalp to the proper degree, neither lea~iny the hair fibers coated with a perceivable residue of sebum as a result o insuE~icient detergency, nor leavincJ th~m ccmpletely scour~l an~l strawlike as a result of ~oo complete a removal of the natural oil8 Another o the criteria which consumers use as a measure of satisfaction in the evaluation of a shampoo product is its foamincJ
charaateristics. It is desirable that a relatively small quantity of shampoo, when worked into the wet hair, rapidly generate a large volume of dense, creamy and lubrous foam, stable through the shampooing procedure.
~esthetic considerations also are important in the formulation o shampoo products. Not only should a ormulation retain its compositional integrity to obviate any need for shaking before use, but it is also desirable to be able to offer the consumer a product which is water clear and which may be attractively colored for packaging in transparent containers.
Another very important requirement in the develoFment of products such as hair shampoos htended for use near the eyes is that the potential for stinging or irritation as a result of accidental installation during use be minimized. ;~

~ 384~7 .
While the various types of surfactants which have been employed in the formulation of shampoos exhibit satisfactory ;
properties in one or more of the above areas, no single type has provided a completely satisfactory combination of all properties. It is for this reason that a good deal of effort continues to be devoted to the search for mixtures of surface active agents which will possess all of the attributes desirable ~ -- in an ideal shampoo.
One class of surfactant of particular interest in the formulation of shampoo compositions having reduced eye irritation potential is the ampholytes, from 2-alkyl-substituted lmidazolines. Much effort has gone into the development of mixtures of these imidazoline derivatives with a variety of other surfactants to improve their detergency, foaming properties and ease of Eormulation without affecting their inherent mildness.
See, for example, U.S. Patents 3,1~6,656; 3,341,460; and ~; ;
3,723,360.
Summary of the Invention ;~
In one particular aspect the present invention provides an aqueous shampoo composition exhibiting reduced levels of -~
eye irritation which comprises water in combination with n ampholytic surfactant comprising a 2-alkyl-substituted imidazoline, a nonionic surfactant comprising a polyoxyethylene- ;
polyoxypropylene block copolymer and an anionic surfactant comprising an alcohol ether sulfate, the quantity of said ampholytic surfactant being 6.0 to 15.0% by weight, the ratio of said nonionic surfactant to said anionic surfactant being 0.5:1 to 10:1 and the proportion of the total of said nonionic surfactant and anionic surfactant to said ampholytic surfactant being l:l to 5:1.

As mentioned hereinabove, the 2-alkyl-substituted imidazolines of this invention are well known as detergents for use in the formulation of personal care shampoo products.
While these materials themselves, especially the compound having the structure.

¦ CH2COONa ' OS03 (CH2CH2O)3C13H27 possess an unusually good combination of foaming, cleansing and irritation properties, we have discovered that by limiting the amount of imidazoline used and ~ombining it with at least an equal quantity of a mixture of the nonionic and anionic surfactants described herein, there is produced a composition showing improvement in all three areas, i.e.
foaming, cleansing, and irritation potential.
We have found that useful aqueous shampoo compositions can be based upon solutions of 2-alkyl-30~ substituted imidazoIines containing 6.0 to 15.0% imidazoline by weight. Compositions containing less than -this will be . . .
found to provide sufficient foaming while those containing bm: ~

more than 15% may cause eye irritation which cannot be effectively reduced by the incorporation of the nonionic- .
anionic detergent mixtures described herein. We prefer to use 8 to 10~ imidazoline.
The nonionic-anionic detergent mixtures, which not only reduce the eye irritation potential of the .
imidazolines but also improve their foaming and cleansing .
properties comprise one or more each of the specified nonionic and anionic detergents described herein in which the weight ratio of the nonionic to anionic components may range . .
from 0.5:1 to 10:1. When it is intended to formulate compositions of this invention at a pH of less than 7.5, it is important that the ratio of nonionic to anionic components not exceed ~:1 to insure that the compositions remain homogeneous, transparent, and non-irritatin~. One o~
the preferred forms of this invention comprises non-. alkaline formulations inaving a pH of 2.0 to 6.0 capable of cle~nsing the ha.ir without signiicantly altering its natural pH balance.
It is necessary that the proportion o~ the total nonionic-anionic detergent mixture to 2-substituted-alkyl-imidazoline be ~t least 1 to 1 to insure signif~cant improvement in shampoo properties. While proportions as high as 5 to 1 may be employed, we prefer to use proportions ranging from 2 to 1 to 3 to 1, to insure low irritation and good lathering at pH levels below 7.5.
Any of the usual additives such as opacifiers, .
perfumes, coloring agents, stabilizers, preservaties, : :
thickeners such as the polyethylene glycol distearates and the like may also be included in the compositions if . :
desired. :
