Abstract
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
The invention relates to gel compositions which are suitable for topical application to the skin or hair, the com-positions containing as gel forming components an anionic sur-factant, a nonionic surfactant and a polar solvent such as water. The composition also includes an active ingredient, for example an agent for the treatment of parasitic infestations of the skin. The ratio of anionic surfactant to nonionic sur-factant is preferably between about 1:3 and 3:1 and the amount of the surfactants in the total gel composition is preferably between about 20-60% by weight.

Description
: `
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The known cosmetic gels are generally pourable gels formed either by adding an inorganic salt to an alkyl ether sulfate or by the inclusion in the cosmetic composition of cellulose, an alginate or another known gum-type thickener.
In the treatment of headlice, bodylice and other parasitic infestations of the skin and in the treatment of other skin disorders, it has been found desirable to treat the body or the hair with an active ingredient which is insoluble in water. Such active ingredients include, for example, carbaryl, piperonyl butoxide and malathion.
Activeingredientsof this type have been combined in cream- Z
type compositions which have found great acceptablility and use in temperate climates, but which present considerable problems in more tropical climates. Thus, in tropical climates the anionic surfactant generally used, ~or example sodium lauryl sulfate dissolves in the preparation to form a liquid rather than a cream. On subsequent cooling of the preparation the surfactant crystallizes out of solution to give a product containing short needle-like crystals. This is obviously un-acceptable to the user.
Gel compositions for other purposes than for topical application cannot be used for topical application purposes because the components thereof are irritatlng, for example to the skin, causing dermatitis and ~ to the eye, causing conjunctivitis.

Generally speaking, in accordance with this invention a gel composition for topical application is provided comprising as gel forming components a mild anionic surfactant, a nonionic surfactant and a polar solvent such as water. The ingredients are selected and the proportions of ingredients are selected so that the composition does not irritate human or animal skin.
It is a primary object of the present invention, therefore, to provide gel compositions which have a gel structure over whatever temper-ature range may be encountered by the product, although the composition may decrease somewhat in viscosity with increasing temperature.
It is another object of the present invention to provide gel compositions which can be used topically on animal or human skin without the risk of causing skin or eye irritations.
It is still a further object of the present invention to provide L
gel composittons for topical administration which can be used as a vehicle for water insoluble active ingredients, such as for the treatment of parasitic infestat1ons and the like.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the further reading of the specification and of the appended claims.
With the above and other objects in view, the gel compositions of the present invention mainly comprise a mild anionic surfactant, a nonionic surfactant and a polar solvent, preferably water.
The anionic surfactants used ~n the gel compositions of this invention are mild anionic surfactants which do not cause irritations when applied to animal or human sk~n and thus do not cause complaints ~', ~ :2 ~
' ' -1(~99~37 such as dermatitis and con~unctivitis.
Among the suitable anionic surfactants of this type are straight chain or branched chain alkyl ether sulfates. These straight chain or branched chain alkyl ether sulfates are preferably used in the form, for example of their alkali metal salts, such as sodium or potassium salt, or their organic amine salts such as the monoethanol amine and the diethanol amine salts of alkyl ether sulfates containing alkyl groups of 8 to 18 carbon atoms. Sodium salts of straight chain alkyl ether sulfates in which the alkyl group contains 10-15 carbon atoms are preferred. Most preferred are sodium lauryl ether sulfate and sodium myristyl ether sulfate.
Although any nonionic surfactant can be used for the purposes of the present invention. the preferred nonionic surfactants are of the polyoxyethylene type, for example polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers containing alkyl groups of 8-22 carbon atoms and 1-8 oxyethylene units, as well as polyoxyethylene alkyl phenyl ethers containing alkyl groups of 8-18 car-bon atoms and 1-8 oxyethylene units. Polyoxyethylene (4-6) nonylphenyl ethers and polyoxyethylene ~3-5) dodecyl ethers are particularly pre-ferred. Commercially available nonionic surfactants which can be used 2Q include Antarox* C0630, Fomescol* V27, Texafor* F85 and Volpo* N5.
In addition to the gel forming components of the components of the composition, namely the mild anionic surfactant, the non~onic surfactant and the polar solvent such as water, the gel compositions of this invention can include and carry therein an active ingredient such as an active ingredient for the treatment o~ parasiticinfestqtionsof the skin and other disorders, lanolin, a foam synergist, a colorant and a ; perfume.
* Trade Mark , ... .. ' ' The preferred active ingredients for the treatment of body and headlice are carbaryl, piperonyl butoxide malathion and mixtures thereof. L
The foam synergist which may be incorporated in the composition is preferably a mono- or diethanolamide, for example lauric diethanolamide or coconut diethanolamide.
The best gel composition effects are obtained according to the present invention by maintaining the preferred ratio of the anionic sur-factant to the nonionic surfactant between about 1:3 and 3:1. The most preferred ratio is 2:1.
; 10 Furthermore, the comfined percentage of the anionic surfactant and the nonionic surfactant in the total gel composition is preferably b maintained between about 20-60% by weight~ .
Since the presence of other formulation excipients in the gel compositions of the invention may affect the viscosity of the final composition, adjustment is necessary to determine the optimum percentage : and ratio of the anionic surfactant and nonionic surfactant in the final formulation~
Although the invention is not meant to be limited to any theory as to ho~ the gel composition of suitable properties-is obtained according to the present invention, the follow~ng theory is given in the hope that it will aid further investigation in this field. f It is thought that the combination of the anionic surfactant w:ith the nonionic surfactant in the water or other polar solvent creates a co~micelle phase within the solvent which leads to gel formation by an increase in the bulk volume of the co-micelle phase. Thus, the bulk volume of tKe two surfactants or combined percentage of the two surfactants f determines~the gelling point of tKe composition, and it is for this reason that the preferred combined percentage of the anionic surfactant and the f X~ ~
.
nonionic surfactant in the gel composition ranges between 20-60% by weight.
The gel compositions of the invention are prepared by heating the anionic surfactant paste (in the form of a concentrate in water, for example a 70~ concentrate) with the nonionic surfactant (in pure liquid form), adding water (or other polar solvent) and mixing to form a clear solution. On cooling a product is formed which, depending on the proportions of the two surfactants, may range from a viscous liquid to a hard gel. If an active ingredient is present, this .is dissolved in the nonionic sur-factant before the nonionic surfactant is heated with the anionic surfactant.
Similarly, the other optional ingredients are dissolved in whichever phase (surfactant or aqueous) they are most soluble. Any perfume which is added as a final ingredient is added at as low a temperature as possible.
