Abstract

COMPOSITIONS FOR THE EMBELLISHMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF THE HAIR, CHARACTERIZED IN THAT THE ESSENTIAL ACTIVE CONSTITUENT CONTAINS A CARBOXYL TYPE RESIN OF ACRYLIC ORIGIN NEUTRALIZED BY AN ALKALINE AGENT.

Description

The present invention relates to new cosmetic compositions

  intended for the treatment of the hair, in particular to ensure the maintenance of it, but also to improve the

  conservation, and make it more attractive.

  These new compositions are characterized by the simultaneous presence on the one hand of a resin of the carboxylic type.

  of acrylic origin, and preferably resulting from the copolymer-

  rization of acrylic acid with the allyl ether of sucrose,

  and on the other hand an alkaline neutralizing agent for this re-

  sine, thus causing its gelation, while preserving it

its transparency.

  It should be noted that for a long time we have tried to offer gels of various origins to beautify and maintain the hair. However, none of these gels has ever been completely satisfactory, because either they left the hair sticky or oily, or they were absorbed by creating

  dust in the hair which is difficult to remove.

  On the contrary, for the first time, the compositions defined above have the advantage of being worked without

  pitch or grease the hair and leave no dust on it.

  The implementation of the invention can be conceived of

  various ways, depending on the use to be made of the compound

  sition. According to a first embodiment, the composition has

  among other things to maintain the hair, while leaving it

  flexible and fluid, and in this case the composition may contain

  provide a humectant, preferably chosen from alcohols,

such as in particular polyols.

  According to a second embodiment, the composition has, among other things, the purpose of fixing the hair, to a greater or lesser degree of rigidity, and it also comprises for this purpose another synthetic resin, preferably a polymer Qu

  a vinylpyrolidone copolymer.

  In all cases, the composition contains, in addition

  agents ensuring conservation and making it more attractive

  for the consumer, such as dyes, perfumes, pigments,

glitter and the like.

  The resin which, with its neutralizing agent, represents the essential constituent of the compositions according to the invention, and

  more especially the product of copolymerization (or of reticu-

2 2556960

  lation) of acrylic acid with the allyl ether of sucrose is present in these compositions in an amount of approximately 0.1 to 2%. The product sold under the brand CARBOMER 940 or CARBOPOL 940 can for example be used for this purpose. by the firm Goodrich

(USA).

  As a neutralizing agent for this resin, and represents

  therefore also being an essential constituent of the compositions according to the invention, practically any mineral alkaline compound can be used, such as Na OH, K OH, NH40H, borax,

  and the like, or organic, such as amines, simple or sub-

  substances, for example mono-, di- and tri-ethanolamine, isopropylamine, ethylhexylamine, triethylenamine,

  triamylamine, and the like. This agent is present in these com-

  positions in sufficient quantity to neutralize the resin, partially or totally or even in slight excess, namely

0.1 to 3%.

  To prepare the compositions according to the invention, an aqueous suspension of the resin is prepared separately, to which a preservative should be added, which must of course be compatible with the other constituents, and on the other hand apart from an aqueous solution of the neutralizing agent with the other additional agents. Simple mixing of the suspension with the solution causes instant formation

  gel which is immediately usable.

  In the second embodiment of the invention, the composition contains a certain proportion of a second resin of the polyvinylpyrrolidone type, playing the role of fixing agent. In this case, the nature and the proportion of this agent will be proportional to the degree of rigidity which it is desired to impart to the hairstyle. The proportion should not, however, exceed around 20%. As polyvinylpyrrolidone copolymers, it is possible, for example, to use copolymers with dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate sold under the brands AGENT

  AT-858, AGENT AT-937 and COPOLYMER 845 by GAF Corp. (USA).

  Thus, for example, approximately 3% of polyvinylpyrolidone added to a gel as obtained as indicated above lead to a

  composition which, in addition to the proper effects of the gel on the hair

  lure and those of the resin, guarantee the fixing of the coif-

  fure, fixation which can be light or very accentuated depending on the

  nature and dose of fixing agent used.

  Finally, as indicated above, additive agents

  can also be added to the compositions according to

  the invention, either to ensure its stability and conservation

  tion, for example calcium sequestering compounds such as the sodium salt of ethylene diamine-tetraacetic acid (EDTA), marketed in particular under the brand TRILON B, or to make them more attractive, for example by

  dyes or suitable fragrances.

  The following examples, given by way of illustration and without any limiting character, refer to three modes of

  typical production of the compositions according to the invention.

Example 1: Non-fixing composition.

  The constituents of this composition are the following:

(in% by weight).

CARBOPOL 940 0.80

  Triethanolamine 0.84 Glycerin (humectant) 0.50 Chloracetamide + Sodium benzoate (preservative) 0.30

TRILON B 0.10

  Hydrogenated and polyoxyethylene castor oil (solubilizer for perfume) 0.15

Capric and capry glycerides

polyoxyethylenated liquids (solu-

bilisants) 0.15 Perfume 0.10

Dye 0.33.

  The rest (100% complement) of the composition consists of the water used in the preparation, as indicated

upper.

  It should be noted that the hydrogenated and polyoxyethylenated castor oil used as a solubilizing agent for

  fragrance also contributes to the pleasant texture of the composition

tion.

  This composition does not play a fixing role, but has an embellishing and softening effect on the hair,

it contributes to maintenance.

  The other two compositions, on the other hand, fix the hair by drying: Example 2: Slightly fixing composition (in% by weight)
