Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a hair treatment composition comprising a specific combination of silicone and a hydrocarbon material to provide an effect of improving hair thickness, waist strength and hair mass.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION AND PRIOR ART The use of conditioning agents such as silicone polymers, cationic conditioning agents and oily materials in hair treatment compositions is known and has been described in many patents. ing. The problem with such materials, however, is that the use of these materials at the level required to obtain a good tactile and / or visual effect results in excessively soft and unwieldy hair. is there.

[0003] Thus, the desired hair thickness, waist strength and amount of hair are usually applied after shampooing and / or conditioning by applying a film-forming material in the form of a mousse, gel or spray to the hair. It is common to get. However, adhesive and / or resinous materials frequently used for hairstyle retention impair the properties of dry hair. In particular, the dry hair has a poor feel and is difficult to comb with. It is also a desire of many consumers to improve hair thickness, waist strength and hair mass to some extent without the inconvenience and expense of requiring an independent step.

[0004] For example, EP-A-240,350 and US Pat.
499 (Procter & Gamble) discloses the use of certain rigid silicone polymers dissolved in a volatile carrier material to improve hairstyle retention.

[0005] International Patent WO 96/31188 discloses that emulsion-polymerized silicone polymers which are cross-linked in emulsion form, when incorporated into a hair treatment composition, improve the styling effect without impairing the conditioning properties. .

[0006] European Patents EP 0,498,119 and EP 567,326 disclose the use of high molecular weight resinous per-alkyl (alkenyl) hydrocarbon materials to impart stiffness and stylinkability to hair. ing.

[0007] The inventors of the present invention now state that a hair treatment composition containing a particular combination of silicone and a hydrocarbon material has an improved hair treatment composition as compared to a composition using each of these materials alone. It has been found that it has a surprising improvement effect on thickness, waist strength and hair volume.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION [0008] The present invention provides (i) emulsified particles of a high viscosity silicone polymer in an aqueous medium;
ii) A hair treatment composition comprising an emulsified particle of a high-molecular-weight hydrocarbon material, the composition having an effect of improving hair thickness, stiffness and hair mass.

(Detailed Description) (i)Emulsified high viscosity silicone polymer  The hair treatment composition of the present invention comprises particles of a high viscosity silicone polymer
. The silicone polymer is insoluble in the aqueous medium of the hair treatment composition;
Thus, the composition has an emulsified form in which the silicone polymer was present as dispersed particles.
ing.

The term “high viscosity silicone polymer” refers to a silicone polymer (not an emulsion or final hair treatment composition) having a viscosity of at least 500
000 cst. A suitable viscosity of the silicone polymer itself is at least 1,000,000 cst. Preferably, the viscosity is not higher than 10 ⁹ cst for easy formulation. The viscosity was measured by a glass capillary viscometer.
Dow Corning Corporate Test on July 20, 970
It can be measured by a method specified in detail in Method CTM004.

[0011] Suitable silicone polymers are polydiorganosiloxanes, in particular polydimethylsiloxanes, which are called dimethicones in CTFA nomenclature. Polydimethylsiloxanes having hydroxyl end groups, referred to in CTFA nomenclature as dimethiconols, are also suitable for use in the hair treatment compositions of the present invention.

[0012] Emulsified high viscosity silicone polymers that are particularly suitable for use in the present invention include crosslinks that form a network of polydiorganosiloxane chains.

The degree of chain crosslinking can be measured as a percentage of branched monomer units in the silicone polymer. Suitable values are from about 0.001% to about 35%, preferably 0.002%.
It is -10%, more preferably 0.003-10%, and most preferably 0.004% -2%. Increasing the degree of cross-linking improves the hair growth effect of the hair, but slightly reduces the conditioning performance. Therefore, a compromise level must be selected that gives characteristics that best correspond to the consumer's priorities in various cases. Excellent overall performance was obtained with a degree of crosslinking of about 0.6% (ie, the percentage of branched monomer units).

[0014] Crosslinking of the silicone polymer may be performed, for example, during the polymerization process to form the silicone polymer from its constituent monomer units, for example, of the formula RSi (OH) _{3 where} R is alkyl, alkenyl (eg, vinyl), alkaryl, aralkyl Or an aryl (eg phenyl) group, preferably representing methyl] trifunctional and tetrafunctional silane monomer units may be introduced in situ by incorporating the required amounts.

Alternatively, another type of silicone crosslinking chemistry may be used to make suitable crosslinked silicone polymers for use in the present invention. The cross-linking agent used in such a method may be, for example, an organosilicon cross-linking agent as described in EP 0,473,039, representatively the cross-linked silicone polymers described in US Pat. No. 5,654,362. A non-silicone crosslinking agent may be used. Crosslinking agents used herein has the following _{structure: CH 2 = CH (CH 2} ) wherein, X is in the range of 1-20] X CH = CH ₂ alpha and omega aliphatic diene. A gel is formed by crosslinking of the double bond in alpha, omega-diene and addition of Si-H.

Another example of a suitable crosslinked silicone polymer for use in the present invention is Dow
DC 3-2365 from Corning and Akzo Incorpora
Materials such as Silicone-urethane copolymer Polyderm PPI-SI-100 from Ted, Matawan, New Jersey.

Particularly preferred crosslinked silicone polymers for use in the compositions of the present invention are low-crosslinking silicone gums as described in International Patent Publication No. WO 96/31188. These materials can provide an effect of improving hair thickness, stiffness, and amount of hair, and can provide an excellent conditioning effect to both wet and dry hair.

Various methods may be used to prepare emulsions of high viscosity silicone polymer particles for use in the present invention. These methods are well known in the art and are well described in the literature. For example, by high shear mechanical mixing of the silicone polymer with water, or by emulsifying the silicone polymer with water and an emulsifier (eg, mixing the silicone polymer into a heated emulsifier solution), or by mechanical emulsification and chemical Emulsions can be prepared in combination with emulsification. U.S. Patent U
In the case of some materials, such as the crosslinked silicone polymers described in S5,654,362, these materials are first treated with PPG-2 myristyl ether propionate or cyclomethicone so as to facilitate the subsequent emulsification step. It may be advantageous to mix with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic diluent such as

A particularly preferred technique for preparing emulsions of silicone polymer particles is emulsion polymerization. Such emulsion polymerized silicone polymers are disclosed in US Pat. No. 2,891,8.

[0020] The emulsified high viscosity silicone polymer for use in the hair treatment compositions of the present invention generally has an average silicone particle size of less than 30 microns in the composition. The particle size is 2600 DPa manufactured by Malvern Instruments.
It can be measured by a laser light scattering technique using a rticle sizer.

The average particle size of the silicone polymer in the hair treatment composition is, for example, 2-
In the range of 30 microns, preferably in the range of 2-20 microns, more preferably in the range of 3-
It may be in the range of 10 microns.

Alternatively, the silicone polymer may be present in the hair treatment composition in the form of small sized emulsified particles, for example, less than 2 microns. In some cases, conditioning performance is improved by reducing the granularity.

[0023] Silicone polymer emulsions having an average silicone particle size of 0.15 microns or less are commonly referred to as microemulsions. The particles of such a microemulsion will typically have a particle size of less than 0.15 microns, preferably 0.01-0.15 microns. Such microemulsions would be advantageous because at these particle sizes, compositions with excellent optical properties and high stability, such as translucent or transparent formulations, can be prepared.

Suitable silicone polymer emulsions for use in the present invention are commercially available in pre-emulsified form. Such a form is particularly preferred since the pre-formed emulsion can be incorporated into the hair treatment composition by simple mixing.

A material available as 2-1391, which is a microemulsion of cross-linked dimethiconol gum in which the viscosity of the silicone polymer itself is about 1,000,000 cst.

[0027] The amount of emulsified high viscosity silicone polymer incorporated into the hair treatment composition of the present invention depends on the desired conditioning level and the materials used.
Preferred amounts range from 0.01 to about 10% by weight of the total composition, but these limits are not absolute. We have found that an amount of silicone polymer of 0.05-1.0% by weight of the total composition is a particularly suitable level.
