Description
;i2 S~RFACTANT COMPOSITIONS
Back~round of the _vention The present invention relates to surfactant compositions.
More particularly, this invention relates to conditioning and cleansing compositions which can be utilized as personal care formulations.
The major use for such composition.s is in shampoos; but other uses include liquid skin cleansers, conditioning compositions and the like. A suitable composition for use as a sha~poo must remove the surface grease and leave the hair and scalp clean. In addition, it should leave the hair lustrous, soft and manageable; still further, it is desirable that it possess good lathering and foaming properties for consumer acceptability.
Conditioning and cleansing compositions, like most types of cleaning agents, generally comprise a mixture of one or more synthetic detergents as the active ingredients, as well as builders, perfumes, coloring agents, thickeners, and the like. Synthetic detergents well known in the art include anionic, cationic, amphoteric and nonionic deter-gents or surfactants, as they are usually referred to. Itis desirable that conditioning and cleansing compositions have good foam volume and good foam stability, particular-ly if they are to be used as shampoo formulations. The amount of foam generated by a shampoo composition has a direct bearing on the perceived efficiency with which it cleans the hair. The stability of the foam generated provides an indication to the user as to how long it will keep the hair lathered. Generally speaking, the greater the volume of foam produced and the more stable the foam, the more efficient the perceived cleansing action of ~he shampoo. In addition, other cleansing compositions, such ~P 228 ~r~
$~
as liquid skin cleansers, are enhanced by high foam volume and good foam stability.
The surfactants generally exhibiting the most superior properties in terms of foaming, cleaning and end result attributes are the anionic detergents. Thus, most shampoo and cleansing formulations contain anionic surfactant as one of the active ingredients.
Several U.S. patents describe compositions in which both amphoteric and nonionic surfactants are incorporated in anionic surfactant compositions. Thus, in U.S. Pat. Nos.

2,999,069 and 3,055,836 there are described shampoo com-positions comprising certain mixtures of ethoxylated anionic, amphoteric and polyethoxylated nonionic surfac-tants. Further, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,928,251 there are described shampoo compositions comprising certain mixtures of anionic, nonionic and ~witterionic surfactants. Other recent patents in this area include U.S. Pat. Nos.
3,920,251; 3,950,417; and 4,233,192. Many of these com-positions have various negatives and generally exhibit less than satisfactory foam volume and stability.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is a further object of this invention to provide improved surfactant compositions which can be utilized as personal care formulations.
It is a still further object of this invention to provide improved surfactant compositions which exhibit good foam properties.
~BP 22~
Other objects of this invention will be set forth in or be apparent from the following detailed description of the invention.
The foregoing objects and other features and advantages of the present invention are achieved by surfactant composi-tions comprising a mixture of surfactants and a soap addi-tive which exhibit satisfactory irritancy, good foam properties and good conditioning characteristics. More specifically, the present invention relates to surfactant compositions comprising specific anionic, amphoteric and non-ionic surfactants together with a specific soap additive. The balance of the compositions can comprise various cleansing adjuncts, fillers, carriers and the like which are well known in the art.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In general, this invention comprises a mixture of a speci-fic anionic surfactant, a specific amphoteric surfactant, a specific non-ionic surfactant and a soap additive. The particular mixture of surfactants and the addition of the so~called "soap additive'` results in compositions with excellent foarn properties.
The specific anionic suractants which have been found useful in the present invention are the lauryl ether sulfates with a degree of ethoxylation less than three such as sodium lauryl ether sulfate, ammonium lauryl ether sulfate and triethanolamine lauryl ether sulfate; lauryl sulfates such as sodium lauryl sulfate, ammonium lauryl sulfate and triethanolamine lauryl sulfate; and the ~-olefin sulfonates.
The anionic surfactants useful in the compositions of the present invention are present in an amount from about 3.75 to 15.00~ by weight of the total composition, prefer-ably from about 4.00 to 10.00~.
The specific amphoteric surfactants which have been found useful in ~he present invention are the alkylamido betaine surfactants such as laurylamiclopropyl betaine, cocoamido-propyl betaine and the like. The betaines are present in an amount from about 1~00 to 4.20% by weight of the total composition, preferably from about 2.00 to 3.00~.
The specific non-ionic surfactants which have been found useful in the present invention are the polyoxyethylene-sorbitan type such as polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate, polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monopalmitate, polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monostearate, polyoxyethy-lene (20) sorbitan monooleate and the like. These non-ionic surfactants are present in an amount from about 0.70 to 3.00~ by weight of the total composition, preferably from about 1.00 to 2.00%.
The soap additives which are useful in the present inven-tion include fatty acids of the formula RCOOH; alkyl isethionates of the formula R-C-O-CH2CH~-SO3X; alkyl taurides of the formula R-C-N-CH2CH~SO3X; and alkyl sarcosides of the formula ~-C-N-CH2COOH; wherein R is alkyl from about 8 to 18 carbon atoms and mlxtures thereof and X is alkali metal such as Na, K and the like.
The soap additives are present in an amount Erom about 0.10 to 4.00% by weight of the total composition.
The soap additives when added to the other surfactants result in compositions which produce a creamy, stable foam, as opposed to an airy, transparent unstable foam normally associated with such compositions.
In the preferred embodiments of this invention the ratio of anionic surfactant to amphoteric surfactant should be from about 4:1 to 2:1; the ratio of non~ionic surfactant to anionic and amphoteric surfactants should be from about 1:4 to 1:5; and the ratio of soap addition to the total amounts of anionic, amphoteric and nonionic surfactants should be from about 0.1 to 1.5.
In addition to the above ingredients, other ingredients conventionally added to surfactant compositions for per-sonal use such as dyes, preservatives, perEumes, thicken-ers, opacifiers, conditionersl emollients, buffering agents and the like, may be added in minor amounts.
Ingredients such as dyes, preservatives and perfumes together usually constitute less than 2~ by weight of the total composition.
The surfactant compositions of the present invention are usually in liquid orm and prepared according to conven-tional methods. When formulated as a shampoo, the anionicsurfactant is usually present in an amount of from about 7 to 10% by weight of the total composition, the amphoteric surfactant in an amount of from about 2 to 3% by weight of the total composition, the non-ionic surfactant in an amount of from about 1 to 2~ by weight of the total compo-sition and the soap additive in an amount of from about 1 to 3% by weight o the total composition with the remain-ing ingredients being selected from those discussed above and the pH usuable between 6.0 and 7.5. When formulated as a liquid body cleanser, the anionic surfactant is usually present in an amount of from about 4 to 8S of the total composition, the amphoteric surfactant in an amount of from about 2 to 3~ by weight of the total composition, the non-ionic surfactant in an amount of from 1 to 2% by weight of the total composition, the non-ionic surfactant in an amount of from 1 to 2% by weight of the total composition and the soap addit:ive in an amount of from about 0.1 to 4% by weight of the total composition with the remaining ingredients being selected from those discussed above.
The surfactant compositions of the invention provide high foam volume and moreover outstanding foam stability as measured by an adaption of the well-known Ross-Miles foam test principle ["Oil and Soap" 18.g9-102 (1942)]:
Lanolin, anhy~rous, cosmetic grade is mixed with dioxane (technical grade) in the proportion of 2.5 grams lanolin and 100 grams of dioxane. The lanolin is first mixed with 25 cc. of dioxane. This mixture is heated over a steam bath to 45C. in order to dissolve the lanolin in the dioxane. The remainder of the dioxane is then added and mixed. This lanolin-dioxane solution, which is stored in an amber bottle, should be prepared fresh on the day tha~
the tests are run.
The composition to be tested is diluted by adding 376 cc.
of distilled water to 4 grams of the composition, and then by adding 20 cc. of the lanolin-dioxane solution described above while mixing. Heat is produced when the lanolin~
dioxane solution is added to the solution of the composition in water and care must be taken in adjusting the temperature of this solution of 24-25C. Both of these intermediate solutions should thereore be adjusted ~o 23C. before mixing. The cooling of the lanolin-dioxane solution should be gradual in order to avoid precipitation of the lanolin. This will produce a final solution with a temperature of 24-25C.
~z~
The final solution of the composition to be tested, water, dioxane and lanolin described above, is then run in a modlfied Ross-Miles foam colurnn in the usual way. All tests are conducted in duplicate, and the average of the two results is taken. Foam stability is determined by measuring the decay in foam heigh~ after five minutes, expressed as a percentage of the original height.
Specific embodiments of the surfactant compositions prepared in accordance with the present invention are illustrated by the following representative examples. It will be un~erstood, however, that the invention is not confined to the specific limitations set forth in the individual examples, but rather to the scope of the appended claims.
EXAMPLE I
A shampoo composition is prepared by charging 428.00 grams of deionized water into a suitable kettle and heating the water to 60C (140F) under moderate agitation.
300.00 grams of a 25~ solution of Nutrapon ESY;
60.00 grams of a 35~ solution of Mirataine BB; 20.00 grams of a 70% solution of POE-80 are then added to the kettle and mixed moderately until dissolved (approximately 5 min-utes). Wikh the temperature of the batch maintained at 60C (140~), 30.00 grams of Igepon AC-78, 5.00 grams of polyoxyethylene glycol 6000 distearate and 2.50 grams of ethylene glycol monostearate are added and mixed moderately until dissolved (approximately 20 minutes).
0.0012 grams of dye are then pre-dissolved in 42 grams of water and aclded to the batch. The temperature of the batch is then red~ced to 55C (131F), and 2.0 grams of benzyl alcohol and preservative are added under moderate agitation. 5.00 grams of sodiu~ chloride are then dis-solved in the remaining water (approximately 102 grams) 5~
and added to the batch under moderate agitation. The batch is then cooled to 35C and 3.50 grams of fragrance are then added, to yield a total solution of 1000 grams of the desired composition consisting of the ollowing ingredients.
