Description

SHAMPOO COMPOSITION FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a shampoo composition.

More specifically, it relates to a shampoo composition having an excellent foaming property at the time of hair washing, giving foam of excellent feel and an excellent feel at the time of rinsing, and imparting a good hair style retention property after washing and drying the hair.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Heretofore, nonionic surfactants have been used in detergent compositions for the skin and the hair and tableware because of their low irritating property, but the nonionic surfactants have the defect of inferior foaming property. As nonionic surfactants having excellent foaming property, alkyl saccharide surfactants were developed, and a detergent composition comprising this type of surfactant and an anionic surfactant such as an alkyl sulfate was proposed as disclosed in JP-A-58-104625 (the term JP-A as used herein means an lunexamined published Japanese Patent Application"). This composition has excellent foaming property, but when it is used for washing hair, a squeak feel arises at the time of hair washing, and it is not suitable as a shampoo.

On the other hand, JP-A-2-231412 discloses a detergent composition comprising an alkyl saccharide surfactant and a sulfosuccinic acid surfactant in combi nation, which have an excellent foaming property and gives creamy foam, an excellent smoothness to the skin at the time of foaming, and a good feel to the hair or the skin after washing with less irritating.

However, generally, even when an anionic surfactant is used in combination with an alkyl saccharide surfactant, a squeak feel at the time of hair washing caused by the alkyl saccharide surfactant is difficult to reduce, so that when the amount of the alkyl saccharide surfactant is increased to an extent that gives sufficient foaming property, an increase in the squeak feel cannot be avoided.

Hence, while making good use of excellent properties of the alkyl saccharide surfactant having high foaming property, a shampoo composition having good feel without a squeak feel at the time of washing the hair has been desired to be developed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the circumstances, the present inventors have conducted extensive investigations, and found that by combining an anionic surfactant and/or amphoteric surfactant, an alkyl saccharide surfactant and a silicone derivatives a specific weight ratio, a shampoo composition having an excellent foaming property with high foam quality and excellent hair style retention property after washing and drying the hair can be obtained. This completed the preser.

invention.

The present invention provides a shampoo composition comprising the following components (a), (b) and (c): (a) from 1 to 60% by weight of an anionic surfactant, an amphoteric surfactant or a mixture of an anionic surfactant and an amphoteric surfactant; (b) from 0.2 to 5% by weight of an alkyl saccharide surfactant; and (c) from 0.05 to 3% by weight of a silicone derivative, wherein a weight ratio of component (a) to component (b) is from 2/1 to 150/1.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The anionic surfactant and the amphoteric surfactant to be used as component (a) in the present invention may not be particularly restricted so long as those generally used in conventional shampoo compositions.

Examples of the anionic surfactant include alkylsulfate ester salts, polyoxyethylene alkylsulfate ester salts, alkylbenzenesulfonic acid salts, a-olefin sulfonic acid salts, a-sulfofatty acid ester salts, alkyl phosphate ester salts and sulfosuccinic acid ester salts. Of these, the alkylsulfate ester salts, polyoxyethylene alkylsulfate ester salts, and sulfosuccinic acid ester salts are preferred. Especially, from the view-point of low irritating property, the sulfosuccinic acid ester salts are preferred.

Specific examples of the alkylbenzenesulfonic acid salt include those having a straight-chain or branched alkyl group containing 10 to 16 carbon atoms on the average.

Specific examples of the a-olefine sulfonic acid salt include those containing 10 to 20 carbon atoms in one molecule thereof and the a-sulfofatty acid ester salts include salts or esters of an a-sulfofatty acid having an alkyl or alkenyl group containing 10 to 20 carbon atoms on the average.

Among the imidazoline amphoteric surfactants, amideamine acid amphoteric surfactants which had been desalted so as to increase solubility of the polymer, as disclosed in JP-A-63-128100 for example, are preferred.

Examples of the counter ion for the anionic group of these surfactants include alkali metals such as sodium and potassium; alkaline earth metals such as calcium and magnesium; ammonium ion; alkanol amines having 1 to 3 alkanol groups containing 2 or 3 carbon atoms such as monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine and triisopropanolamine; and the like.

Among the aninonic surfactants and amphoteric surfactants, sodium polyoxyethylene lauryl eter sulfates (2 to 3 mols on the average of ethylene oxide are added), laurylsulfate triethanolamine, cocofatty acid amide ether sulfates, lauroyl-N-methyltaurine, lauroyl-N-methyl-ss- alanine, sodium polyoxyethylene lauryl sulfosuccinates (3 to 7 E.O) and the like are preferred as the anionic surfactant, and N-laruroyl-N'-carboxymethyl-N'-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine triethanolamine salts, sodium N-lauroyl-N-(2 hydroxyethyl ) -N, N' -bis (carboxymethyl ) ethylene diamine salt and the like are preferred as the amphoteric surfactant.

In the present invention, either one or two or more of these anionic surfactants or amphoteric surfactants or a mixture thereof may be used. They are used in a total amount of from 1 to 60% by weight, preferably from 2 to 30% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. If the amount is less than 1% by weight, an amount of form tends to be insufficient. If it exceeds 60% by weight, the viscosity of the shampoo tends to be too high and problems on practical use will be caused.

Examples of the alkyl saccharide surfactant to be used as component (b) in the present invention include those shown by formula (1): Rl-O-(R2O) -(G)p (1) wherein R1 is a straight-chain or branched alkyl, alkenyl or alkylphenyl group; R2 is an alkylene group having 2 to 4 carbon atoms; G is a residue of reducing sugar having 5 to 6 carbon atoms; t is a number of 0 to 10; and p is a number cf 1 to 10.

Of the alkyl saccharide surfactants of formula (1), those in which Rl is an alkyl group having 6 to 18 carbon atoms, particularly 6 to 12 carbon atoms (e.g., octyl group, decyl group and lauryl group) are preferred. The value c; t shows the degree of condensation of the alkylene oxide and is a number of 0 to 10. The value of t is preferably 0 to 4, and more preferably 0. As the reducing sugar represented by G, glucose, galactose, and fructose are preferred. The average degree of polymerization of the saccharide, i.e., the value of p, is 1 to 10, preferably 1 to 4. The average degree of polymerization, i.e., the value of p, may preferably be selected with taking the hydrophobic property depending on the group of R1 into consideration.For example, when Rl is a hydrophobic group having an average carbon number of 8 to 11, the value of p is preferably 1 to 1.4, and if Rl is a hydrophobic group having an average carbon number of 12 to 14, p is preferably selected among 1.5 to 4.0. The average degree of polymerization of the sugar may be determined by proton NMR.

The alkyl saccharide surfactant as component (b) may be employed in the shampoo composition of the present invention in an amount of from 0.2 to 5% by weight, preferably from 0.5 to 3% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. If the amount is less than 0.2% by weight, an excellent foaming property is not fully exhibited. If it exceeds 5% by weight, deterioration in feeling such as squeaking of the hair, will be caused. The amount within this range is also preferred from the standpoint of hair style retention property as one advantage of the present invention.

Furthermore, in the present invention, the weight ratio of the anionic surfactant or amphoteric surfactant or a mixture thereof as component (a) to the alkyl saccharide surfactant as component (b) (i.e., the (a)/(b) weight ratio) must be from 2/1 to 150/1. If the (a)/(b) ratio is less than 2/1, the squeak feel will become large. If it exceeds 150/1, the foaming will become small. The preferred (a)/(b) ratio is in the range of from 2/1 to 50/1.
