Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a substantially dry, disposable, personal cleansing product useful for both cleansing and conditioning the skin or hair. These products are used by the consumer by wetting the dry product with water.
  • the product comprises a water insoluble substrate, a lathering surfactant, and a conditioning component further comprising an oil soluble conditioning agent and a water soluble conditioning agent.
  • the substrate enhances lathering at low surfactant levels, increases cleansing and exfoliation, and optimizes delivery and deposition of conditioning ingredients.
  • this invention provides effective cleansing using low, and hence less irritating, levels of surfactant while providing superior conditioning benefits.
  • the invention also encompasses products comprising various active ingredients for delivery to the skin or hair.
  • the invention also encompasses a method for cleansing and moisturizing the skin and hair using the products of the present invention and also to methods for manufacturing these products.
  • Personal cleansing products have traditionally been marketed in a variety of forms such as bar soaps, creams, lotions, and gels. These cleansing formulations have attempted to satisfy a number of criteria to be acceptable to consumers. These criteria include cleansing effectiveness, skin feel, mildness to skin, hair, and ocular mucosae, and lather volume. Ideal personal cleansers should gently cleanse the skin or hair, cause little or no irritation, and not leave the skin or hair overly dry after frequent use.
  • conditioning agents have the disadvantage of suppressing lather generation. Lather suppression is a problem because many consumers seek cleansing products that provide a rich, creamy, and generous lather.
  • the present invention relates to a dry, disposable, personal cleansing product useful for both cleansing and conditioning the skin or hair.
  • These products are used by the consumer by wetting the dry product with water.
  • the product consists of a water insoluble substrate, a surfactant, and a conditioner. Without being limited by theory, it is believed that the substrate enhances lathering at low surfactant levels, increases cleansing and exfoliation, and optimizes delivery and deposition of the conditioning ingredients. As a result, this invention provides effective cleansing using low, and hence less irritating, levels of surfactant while providing superior conditioning benefits. It has also been found that these products are useful for delivering a wide range of active ingredients to the skin or hair during the cleansing process. It is therefore, an object of the present invention to provide substantially dry products for both cleansing and conditioning the skin or hair wherein the products are used in combination with water.
  • the present invention relates to a disposable, single use personal care cleansing arid conditioning product comprising:
  • conditioning component comprises, (i) a water soluble conditioning agent, and (ii) an oil soluble conditioning agent, wherein said cleansing product deposits greater than about 2.5 ⁇ g/cm 2 of the conditioning component to the surface of the skin or hair, and wherein said product is substantially dry.
  • the present invention relates to a disposable, single use personal care cleansing and conditioning product comprising: (A) a water insoluble substrate, and
  • a cleansing and conditioning composition comprising: (i) a lathering surfactant, and
  • the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a disposable, single use personal care cleansing and conditioning product comprising the step of separately or simultaneously adding onto or impregnating into a water insoluble substrate
  • an oil soluble conditioning agent wherein the weight ratio of the lathering surfactant to the conditioning component is less than about 40:7, and wherein said cleansing product deposits greater than about 2.5 ⁇ g/cm 2 of the conditioning component to the surface of the skin or hair, and wherein said product is substantially dry.
  • the present invention relates to methods for cleansing and conditioning the skin or hair with the personal cleansing products described herein. In even further embodiments, the present invention relates to methods of depositing conditioning agents to the skin or hair.
  • the personal cleansing products of the present invention are highly efficacious for cleansing the skin or hair, yet, provide effective deposition of conditioning agents.
  • the products can also contain other active ingredients to be deposited onto the skin or hair.
  • the substrate significantly contributes to generation of lather and deposition of conditioning agents and any other active ingredients. It is believed that this increase in lathering is the result of the surface action of the substrate.
  • milder and significantly lower amounts of surfactants may be employed.
  • the decreased amount of required surfactant is believed to relate to the decrease in the drying effect of the skin or hair by the surfactants.
  • the decreased amount of surfactant dramatically lowers the inhibitory action (e.g., via emulsification or direct removal by the surfactants) of surfactants to deposition of conditioning agents.
  • the substrate also enhances deposition of conditioning agents and active ingredients. Since the invention is in dry form, the invention does not require emulsifiers, which inhibit deposition of conditioning agents and active ingredients. Furthermore, because the skin conditioners and active ingredients are dried onto or impregnated into the substrate, they are transferred directly to the skin or hair by surface contact of the wetted product to the skin.
  • the substrate also enhances cleansing.
  • the substrate can have differing textures on each side, e.g. a rough side and a smooth side.
  • the substrate acts as an efficient lathering and exfoliating implement. By physically coming into contact with the skin or hair, the substrate significantly aids in cleansing and removal of dirt, makeup, dead skin, and other debris.
  • a “lathering surfactant” is meant a surfactant, which when combined with water and mechanically agitated generates a foam or lather.
  • these surfactants should be mild, which means that these surfactants provide sufficient cleansing or detersive benefits but do not overly dry the skin or hair, and yet meet the lathering criteria described above.
  • water-activated means that the present invention is presented to the consumer in dry form to be used after wetting with water. It is found that these products produce a lather or are “activated” upon contact with water and further agitation.
  • substantially dry means that the product is substantially free of water and generally feels dry to the touch.
  • the products of the present invention comprise less than about 10% by weight of water, preferably less than about 5% by weight of water, and more preferably less than about 1% by weight of water, the forgoing measured in a dry environment, e.g., low humidity.
  • a dry environment e.g., low humidity.
  • water content of a product such as in the present invention can vary with the relative humidity of the environment.
  • mildness as used herein in reference to the lathering surfactants and products of the present invention means that the products of the present invention demonstrate skin mildness comparable to a mild alkyl glyceryl ether sulfonate (AGS) surfactant based synthetic bar, i.e. synbar.
  • AGS alkyl glyceryl ether sulfonate
  • Methods for measuring mildness, or inversely the irritancy, of surfactant containing products, are based on a skin barrier destruction test. In this test, the milder the surfactant, the lesser the skin barrier is destroyed. Skin barrier destruction is measured by the relative amount of radio-labeled (tritium labeled) water (3H-H2O) which passes from the test solution through the skin epidermis into the physiological buffer contained in the diffusate chamber.
  • H-H2O radio-labeled
  • the personal care products of the present invention comprise the following essential components.
  • the composition which is either impregnated into or applied onto the substrate consists essentially of one or more surfactants and one or more conditioning agents. Additional active ingredients can also be included within the composition.
  • An alternative, preferred method is to apply each ingredient separately to the substrate.
  • WATER INSOLUBLE SUBSTRATE The products of the present invention comprise a water insoluble substrate.
  • water insoluble is meant that the substrate does not dissolve in or readily break apart upon immersion in water.
  • the water insoluble substrate is the implement or vehicle for delivering the lathering surfactant and the conditioning component of the present invention to the skin or hair to be cleansed and conditioned. Without being limited by theory, it is believed that the substrate, by providing mechanical agitation provides a lather generating effect and also aids in the deposition of the conditioning component.
  • a wide variety of materials can be used as the substrate.
