Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a hair conditioning composition containing a hydrophobically modified cellulose ether of the present invention.

[Background] Human hair becomes dirty due to contact with the surrounding environment and sebum secreted from the scalp. When the hair becomes dirty, it causes the hair to exhibit a dirty feel and an unattractive appearance.
If your hair becomes dirty, you need to shampoo it frequently. Shampoo cleans the hair by removing excess dirt and sebum. However, shampooing can cause the hair to become wet, tangled and generally unwieldy. Once the hair dries, the hair's natural oils and other natural conditioning and moisturizing ingredients are removed, often causing the hair to become dry, rough, dull, or curly. Furthermore, as the hair dries, static electricity develops which interferes with combing and is usually in the condition described as "fly-away hair", or is especially noticeable, especially with long hair, which is undesirable. It may contribute to the phenomenon of split ends.

Various attempts have been made to alleviate these problems after shampooing. These efforts range from using hair conditioners after shampooing, such as leave-on and rinse-off products, to using hair conditioning shampoos that both wash and condition in a single product. While some consumers prefer the lightness and convenience of shampoos that include conditioners, a significant percentage of consumers use a different procedure than shampoo, usually as a procedure after shampooing It prefers conventional conditioner formulations to be applied. Conditioning formulations can be in the form of leave-on and rinse-off products, as well as emulsions, creams, gels, sprays and mousses. Consumers who prefer conventional conditioner formulations value the relatively high conditioning benefits and the convenience of varying the amount of conditioning agent depending on the condition of the hair or the amount of hair.

Fine-haired consumers may want to increase the volume of their hair. As used herein, the term "hair volume up" is not equivalent to hair handstand. The handstand of the hair is due to an increase in the value of the static electricity, the increase in the volume of which is only a slight amount of the total hair and is undesirable.
On the contrary, the volume up of the hair used in this specification is to increase the bulk of the hair. Consumers with fine hair want to achieve volume up of the hair while suppressing unwanted handstands on the hair. Generally, such consumer targeted hair conditioner products provide a volume up effect or a volume down effect by reducing the concentration of conditioning actives contained in the composition. This is believed to arise from the concept that conditioning actives reduce the bulk of the hair. As a result, hair conditioner products intended for consumers who want to increase the volume of their hair usually have to compromise on conditioning benefits.

Based on the above-mentioned matters, while realizing the volume up of the hair, the hair is soft, smooth, easy to comb, clean, and does not impair the basic conditioning effect such as a dry feel. , There remains a need to provide hair conditioning compositions.

US Pat. No. 5,100,658, US Pat. No. 5,106,609, and US Pat. No. 5,855,878 disclose hydrophobically modified nonionic water-soluble polymers for hair conditioning compositions. Discloses the use. Each reference discloses that such compositions effectively deliver active cosmetic ingredients to the hair or skin. European patent application EP-0,875,557-A describes an aqueous composition of a surfactant mixture with a hydrophobically modified polymer, in particular a hydrophobically modified polymer fluidity modifier (thickener) which enhances thickening efficiency. Disclosure. European patent application EP-0,786,2
49-A discloses topical compositions containing effective cosmetics and / or dermatological agents containing cetyl hydroxyethyl cellulose as a gelling agent.

Hair conditioning compositions containing hydrophobically modified cellulose polymers are extremely viscous and have a negative effect on the feel of the hair or the production of said compositions. Therefore, there is a need to provide a hair conditioning composition that provides sufficient spreadability to hair while maintaining acceptable flow characteristics and that can be manufactured by a simple manufacturing method. No technology provides all of the advantages and benefits of the present invention.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is: (a) A hydrophobically modified cellulose ether containing a hydrophilic cellulose backbone and hydrophobic substituents; the hydrophilic cellulose backbone being water soluble, methylcellulose. , Hydroxymethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, hydroxyethylethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, hydroxybutylcellulose, and mixtures thereof; and the solubility of the hydrophobically modified cellulose ether in water is 1%.
Having a hydrophobic substituent grafted to the backbone, the hydrophobic substitution being selected from linear or branched alkyl groups having from about 10 to about 22 carbon atoms; Ratio of hydrophilic groups to hydrophobic substituents in the basic cellulose backbone is about 2: 1.

The hydrophobically modified cellulose ethers useful herein are known in the art as hydrophilic thickeners for aqueous compositions. Surprisingly, the hydrophobically modified cellulose ether has been found to increase the bulk of the hair when included in the gel matrix vehicle system at certain concentrations. Even more surprisingly, it has been found that non-hydrophobic modified cellulose ethers, such as hydroxyethyl cellulose, do not so increase the bulk of the hair. Without being bound by theory, it is believed that this is due to the direct effect and controlled water solubility of the hydrophobically modified cellulose ethers of the present invention. This hydrophobically modified cellulose ether attaches to the hair as discrete particles, thus enhancing the interaction between the fibers and altering their spatial orientation, thus providing more volume to the hair.

Adjusting the level of hydrophobically modified cellulose ether also improves the rheological properties of the conditioning composition of the present invention and, therefore, the composition provides sufficient coatability on the hair and is prepared by a convenient manufacturing process. can do.
