Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cationic crosslinked biobased polymer, having conditioning properties on skin and hair, to be applied for personal care purposes, especially for hair care.
  • the invention also relates to cosmetic compositions, especially hair care compositions, such as hair cleansing compositions, hair conditioning compositions and/or hair styling compositions, comprising the cationic crosslinked biobased poly- mer, as well as the use of said cationic crosslinked biobased polymer for improving the manageability and appearance of hair.
  • the invention relates further to the manufacture of hair care compositions comprising the cationic crosslinked biobased polymer, and to a process for preparing said cationic crosslinked biobased polymer. Background of the invention
  • Cationic polymers with quaternary ammonium functional groups are used quite extensively in personal care products and personal care applications. These polymers have shown in the past substantive conditioning effects when used in hair care formulations, and have also found wide acceptance in skin care products.
  • quaternary ammonium polymers are cationically charge- modified polymers, which derive either from various animal and plant sources, including guar gum, cellulose, proteins, polypeptides, chitosan, lanolin, starches or from man-made polymers, such as amino silicones.
  • conditioning agents are "biobased", in the sense of being derived from natural origins such the cationic crosslinked biobased polymers according to the pre- sent invention, especially such as cationic crosslinked biobased polysaccharides according to the present invention.
  • biobased polymers or “biopolymers” have been used widely in personal care and household products, due to their conditioning property that improve the sen- sorial characteristics of the object to which they are applied on, generally skin, hair or fabrics. Additionally to their conditioning effect, they are also known for having thickening effects in the formulations and compositions they are used in.
  • compositions e.g. for the preparation of rinse-off products like hair shampoos, two-in-one shampoos, body washes, hair and body washes, hair conditioners as well as leave-on products such hair treatments, including all types of hair care products as well as lotions and creams, and also hair styling compositions. They show silky-feel on hair, ease the combing of the hair and have antistatic properties on the hair by improving deposition efficiency of conditioning agents or by itself.
  • Hair is subjected to a wide variety of severe stress, for example as a result of environmental influences, such as UV irradiation, air pollution or hot and/or dry weather conditions, mechanical stresses, such as combing or dry blowing as well as chemical stresses or combined chemical and mechanical stresses of various hair treatments, like washing, bleaching, coloring, perming, etc., which can lead to hair damage.
  • Said damage includes e.g. dryness, reduced elasticity, brittleness, split ends, dullness, matt appearance, reduced fullness, rough surface and reduced mechanical strength. This leads to impaired combability, reduced glossiness, increased electrostatic charging and tendency to break and/or split.
  • Conditioners known from the prior art often comprise cationic surfactants and/or cati- onic hair polymers. These attaches to the hair and lead to an improvement in combability and shine of the hair, the polymers at the same time often improving the consistency of these preparations.
  • cationic surfactants such as e.g. cetyltrime- thylammonium chloride (CTAC) or behenyl trimethylammonium chloride (BTAC)
  • CCTAC cetyltrime- thylammonium chloride
  • BTAC behenyl trimethylammonium chloride
  • cationic surfactants and polymers depending on the composition of the overall formulation in which they are used, also have some disadvantages under certain circumstances. For example, the sensory behavior of such conditioners on the hair is in some cases in need of improvement, which can become noticeable from a coated, slippery, but also sometimes harsh, somewhat sticky feel to the touch.
  • silicone oils and/or hair polymers containing silicone groups are often used in conditioning hair cosmetic compositions, such as hair conditioners or two-in- one shampoos.
  • the desired effects when using silicone are e.g. the generation of shine, improvement in the combability or the enclosure of split ends or other kind of hair damage (especially in repair shampoos).
  • the use of silicones alone in a "natural" hair conditioner is undesired.
  • hair damage is often merely concealed by silicone-containing conditioners and not permanently repaired.
  • the actual condition of the hair under the silicone is no longer evi- dent, and targeted compensating care becomes difficult.
  • especially water- insoluble silicones have a tendency to "build-up" on the hair, and it becomes heavy and lifeless.
  • bi- obased polymers such as biobased polysaccharides
  • Cationic polymer-based conditioners are known to revitalize the hair, protecting it against environmental damage and offsetting the physical stress created as described above, e.g. by daily styling routines such as combing and blow-drying, or by occasional hair styling treatments as permanent hair treatments like bleaching, coloring and perming.
  • These cationic derivatives act as conditioning and thickening agents in hair care applications and exhibit as well skin protection properties and their emollient characteristics providing smooth feel.
  • Polymeric conditioners help hair and skin look and feel better by improving the physical condition of these cutaneous and keratotic surfaces.
  • Hair conditioners are intended primarily to make wet hair easier to detangle and comb and to make dry hair smoother, shinier, and more manageable.
  • cationic polysaccharides cationic derivatives of biobased polysaccharides, e.g. hydroxyethyl cellulose, guar gum, cassia gum or starch, have shown good result in improving the wet and dry combing force reduction of hair washed with shampoo formulated therewith. Nevertheless, the performance of different cationic polymers in these applications has been found to still have some weakness in their conditioning performance, e.g. like guar and pectins or to be lacking achieving a good balance between wet and dry combing force reduction and good homogeneity of the formulation. For example, cationic celluloses have been found to deliver good clarity in cleansing surfactant systems, but not being effective enough in wet and dry combing force reduction.
  • high molecular weight cationic guar for instance is generally defined as having a typical molecular weight no lower than 300,000 Daltons, typically in a range of 0.3- 5.0 million.
  • High molecular weight cationic guar conditioning polymers available for use in hair shampoos, body washes, conditioners etc., it is obvious that they have their drawbacks, such as e.g. their incompatibility with surfactant sys- terns used. In addition, they contribute unfavorably to the final product viscosity, which may not be desirable. High molecular weight cationic guar polymers are further known to be difficult to disperse and dissolve in aqueous solution.
  • WO 2014/027120 A2 Lamberti Spa, (2013), describes a personal care and household care compositions comprising a conditioner and rheology modifier based on a cationic galactomannan or cationic xyloglucan derived from tamarind gum.
  • the xyloglucan gum suitable for obtaining the cationic derivative has preferably a Brookfield RVT viscosity, measured at 25 °C and 20 rpm on a 1.0 % by weight aque- ous solution, of between 50 and 10,000 mPa*s and a weight average molecular weight (Mw) typically of between 100,000 and 1,000,000 Dalton and has a cationic degree of substitution comprised between 0.01 and 3.
  • JP2003064102 A discloses a cationic polymer, by which stiff feeling in drying and conditioning effect in rinsing are improved in case of hair cosmetics. Furthermore, stiff feeling to the skin is supposed to be eliminated, as well as problems regarding the stability in cosmetic formulations and greasy touch and slimy touch are improved.
