Description

COMPOSITIONS OF AIR CONDITIONER SHAMPOO FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to conditioning shampoo compositions that both cleanse and condition the hair. These compositions comprise a detergent surfactant: a fatty compound selected from the group consisting of fatty alcohols, fatty acids, fatty alcohol derivatives, fatty acid derivatives and mixtures thereof: a hair conditioning agent selected from the group consisting of conditioning agents of silicone, dispersed and non-volatile, hydrocarbon conditioning agents, water-soluble cationic polymeric conditioning agents, cationic surfactants and mixtures thereof, and water. The present invention also relates to methods for cleaning and conditioning hair.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Human hair becomes soiled due to its contact with the surrounding environment and the bait secreted by the scalp. Hair dirt causes the hair to feel dirty and look unattractive. Hair dirt needs to be removed by shampoo with P588 regular frequency. Shampooing the hair provides cleaning by removing excess dirt and bait. However, shampooing the hair can cause the hair to be in a wet, tangled and generally unwieldy state. Once the hair dries it is usually left in a dry, coarse, unpolished condition or in a tangled condition due to the removal of natural hair oils and other natural moisturizing and conditioning components. The hair can also be left with higher levels of static during drying, which can interfere with the hairstyle and result in a condition that is usually referred to as "hair that flies". A variety of approaches have been developed to mitigate these problems that arise after shampooing. These approaches vary from the post-shampoo application of hair conditioners, for example, of the products that are rinsed and those that are not rinsed, to hair conditioning shampoos that try to both clean and condition the hair by means of a single product. Hair conditioners are typically applied in a separate step after shampooing. The hair conditioner either rinses or is not rinsed, depending on the type of product that P588 is used. Hair conditioners, however, have the disadvantage of requiring a separate and inconvenient treatment step. Conditioner shampoos, that is, shampoos that both cleanse and condition hair, are quite desirable products because they are convenient for use by consumers. In order to provide hair conditioning benefits in a cleaning shampoo, a wide variety of active conditioning products have been proposed. However, many of these active products have the disadvantage of leaving the hair feeling dirty or coated, or interfering with the cleaning efficacy of the shampoo, or result in a shampoo with poor shelf stability. It has surprisingly been found in the present invention that the stable shampoo compositions have good conditioning and cleansing ability without leaving the hair feeling dirty or coated. These compositions provide better wet hair conditioning benefits, such as softness and ease of combing, compared to conventional conditioning shampoos. These compositions also provide an improved benefit in the conditioning of dry hair, so that they leave the hair feeling soft, smooth and moisturized.

P5T8 These benefits of dry hair also result in a lustrous appearance. The compositions are achieved using the combination of a detergent surfactant: a compound selected from the group consisting of fatty alcohols, fatty acids, fatty alcohol derivatives, fatty acid derivatives and mixtures thereof; a hair conditioning agent selected from the group consisting of dispersed, non-volatile, silicone conditioning agents, hydrocarbon conditioning agents, cationic polymeric water-soluble conditioning agents, cationic surfactants, and mixtures thereof. Preferred embodiments include compositions that also comprise a polyalkylene glycol. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide conditioning shampoo compositions, ie compositions that both cleanse and condition the hair from a single product. Another object of the present invention is to provide compositions that do not leave the hair feeling coated, heavy or dirty. Another object of the invention is to provide compositions that provide improved benefits in wet hair conditioning, for example softness and ease of combing. Another object of the invention is to provide compositions that provide improved benefits in dry hair conditioning such as leaving the hair feeling soft and smooth and a lustrous appearance. Another object of the invention is to provide methods for cleaning and conditioning the hair using a single composition. These and other objects will be readily apparent from the detailed description that follows.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The compositions of the present invention comprise the following essential elements as well as other optional components.

Surfactant Detergent The compositions of the present invention comprise a detergent surfactant selected from the group consisting of one or more anionic, nonionic, amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactants or mixtures thereof. The purpose of a detergent surfactant is to provide cleaning activity to the composition. The term "detergent surfactant", in the sense used herein, is intended to distinguish these surfactants from those which are primarily emulsifiers, ie surfactants that provide an emulsifying benefit and that have a low cleaning activity. It is recognized that most surfactants have both detergent and emulsifying properties. It is not intended to exclude the emulsifying surfactants of the present invention, as long as they possess sufficient detergent properties that are useful for the present. The detergent surfactant will generally comprise between about 5% and about 50%, preferably between about 8% and about 30%, and more preferably between about 10% and about 25% by weight of the composition.

Anionic Surfactants Useful anionic surfactants herein include alkyl sulfates and alkyl ether sulphates. These materials have the respective formulas ROSO3M and RO (C2H O) SO3M, wherein R is alkyl or alkenyl of between about 8 and 30 carbon atoms, x is between about 1 and 10 and is hydrogen or a cation such as ammonium, alkanolammonium ( for example triethanolammonium) a monovalent metal cation (for example sodium and potassium) or a polyvalent metal cation (for example magnesium and calcium). Preferably, M must be selected so that the anionic surfactant component is soluble in water. The anionic surfactant or surfactants should be selected so that the Krafft temperature is about 15 ° C or less, preferably about 10 ° C or less, and more preferably about 0 ° or less. It is also preferred that the anionic surfactant be soluble in the composition herein. The Krafft temperature refers to the point at which the solubility of an ionic surfactant is determined by the energy of the crystal lattice and the heat of hydration and corresponds to a point at which the solubility undergoes a discontinuous and marked increase with increasing temperature . Each type of surfactant will have its own characteristic Krafft temperature. The Krafft temperature for ionic surfactants is, in general, well known and understood in the art. Refer, for example, to Myers, Drew, Surfactant Science and Technology, pp. 82-85, VCH Publishers, Inc. (New York, New York, USA). 1988 (ISBN 0-89573-399-0), which is mentioned here by reference in its entirety. The alkyl sulfates and alkyl ether sulphates described above have R preferably between about 12 to 18 carbon atoms in both the alkyl sulfates and the alkyl ether sulphates. The alkyl ether sulphates are typically made by condensation products of ethylene oxide and monohydric alcohols having from about 8 to 24 carbon atoms. The alcohols can be derived from fats, for example coconut oil, palm oil, bait or the like, or the alcohols can be synthetic.

"A" represents groups that block the ends of the silicone chains. The substituted alkyl or aryl groups in the siloxane chain (R) or the ends of the siloxane chains (A) can have any structure as long as the resulting silicone remains fluid at room temperature, is dispersible and is already irritating, toxic or not harmful when applied to the hair, is compatible with the other components of the composition, is chemically stable under normal conditions of use and storage and is able to deposit on the hair and condition it. Groups A include hydroxy groups, P588 methyl, methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy and aryloxy. The two R groups of the silicon atom may represent the same or different groups.

Particularly preferred, to improve the characteristics of hair luster, silicones of high degree of arylation, as are the phenylated polyethylsilicon in high degree, having refractive indices of about 1.46 or higher, especially about 1.52 or higher. When these silicones P588 of high refractive index are used, they must be mixed with a dispersing agent, for example a surfactant or a silicone resin, as described below to decrease the surface tension and improve the film-forming ability of the materials. The silicones that can be used include, for example, a propylene oxide-modified pslidimethylsiloxane although propylene oxide or mixtures of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide can also be used.

This reference provides an extensive but non-limiting diction of the suitable silicones.Silicone silicone hair conditioning materials that can be lly useful is a silicone rubber. The term "silicone gum" in the sense used herein refers to polyorganosiloxane material having a viscosity at 25 ° C of greater than or equal to 1,000,000 centistokes. It is recognized that the silicone gums described herein can also have some overlap with the P588 silicones mentioned above. The overlap is not intended to be a limitation of any of these materials. Silicone gums are described by Petrarch Id., And others including U.S. Patent No. 4,152,416, Spitzer et al., Issued May 1, 1979 and Noli, Walter, Chemistry and Technology of Silicones, New York.; Academic Press 1968. Silicone gums are also described in the product data sheets of General Electric Silicone Rubber Product Data Sheets SE 30, SE 33, SE 54 and SE 76. All of these references are incorporated herein in their entirety. The "Silicone Gums" will typically have a molecular weight greater than 200,000, generally between about 200,000 and 1,000,000. Specific examples include polydimethylsiloxane, copolymer of (polydimethylsiloxane) (methylvinylsiloxane) copolymer of poly (dimethylsiloxane) (diphenylsiloxane) (methylvinylsiloxane) and mixtures thereof. Also useful are silicone resins having polymeric siloxane systems of high degree of crosslinking. Cross-linking is introduced through the incorporation of trifunctional and tetrafunctional silanes with monofunctional silanes or both, during the manufacture of the silicone resin. As will be well understood in the art, the degree of crosslinking that is required in order to obtain a silicone resin will vary in accordance P588 to the specific silane units incorporated in the silicone resin. In general, silicone materials having a sufficient level of trifunctional and tetrafunctional monomeric siloxane units (and therefore a sufficient level of crosslinking) so that they dry to a rigid or hard film are considered as silicone resins. . The ratio of oxygen atoms to silicone atoms is indicative of the level of crosslinking in a particular silicone material. Silicone materials having at least about 1.1 oxygen per silicon atom in general will be the silicone resins herein. Preferably, the ratio between oxygen atoms: silicon is at least about 1.2: 1.0. The silanes used in the manufacture of silicone resins include monomethyl-, dimethyl-, trimethyl-, monophenyl-, diphenyl-, methylphenyl, monovinyl, and methylvinyl-chlorosilanes, and tetrachlorosilane, with the methyl-substituted silanes being the most commonly used. Preferred resins are offered by General Electric as GE SS4230 and SS4267. Commercially available silicone resins will generally be supplied in a form dissolved in a non-volatile or volatile silicone fluid of low viscosity. The silicone resins that are used herein should be supplied and incorporated into the compositions herein in this dissolved form, P588 as it will be readily apparent to those with expertise in this field. Without being limited to any particular theory, it is believed that silicone resins can improve the deposition of other silicones on the hair and improve the luster of the hair with high refractive index volumes. The other silicone resins which are useful are the silicone resin powders as those materials which have, according to the CTFA designation, polymethylsilsequixan, which is obtained commercially from Tospearl ™ of Toshiba Silicones. Background material related to silicones, including the sections that analyze silicone fluids, gums and resins as well as the manufacture of silicones can be found in Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Engineering, Volume 15, Second Edition, pp 204-308, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1989, which is mentioned here by reference. Silicone materials and silicone resins and silicone resins, in particular, can conveniently be identified according to a short nomenclature system well known to those skilled in the art, the "MDTQ" nomenglatura. According to this system, silicone is described according to the presence of several monomeric siloxane units that form P588 silicone. . In summary, the symbol M denotes the monofunctional unit (CH3) 3Si0.5; D denotes the difunctional unit (CH3) 2SiO; T denotes the trifunctional unit (CH3) Si01-5; and Q denotes the quadri- or tetra-functional units Si02. The prime symbols of these literals, for example M ', D', T ', and Q' denote substituents other than methyl and must be specifically defined each time they appear. Typical alternating substituents include groups such as vinyl, phenyls, amines, hydroxyls, etc. The molar ratio of the different units, either in terms of sub-indices to the literals that indicate the total number of each type of units in the silicon (or an average thereof) or as the ratios specifically indicated in combination with the molecular weight , complete the description of the silicone material according to the MDTQ system. The relatively high molar amounts of T, Q, T "and / or Q 'with respect to D, D', M and / or M 'in a silicone resin are indicative of high levels of crosslinking. Global crosslinking can also be indicated by the oxygen to silicon ratio.The silicone resins which are used herein and are preferred are the resins MQ, MT, MTQ, MDT and MDTQ.Thus, the preferred silicone substituent is methyl MQ resins are especially preferred where the M: Q ratio is between P588 about 0.5: 1.0 to about 1.5: 1.0 and the average molecular weight of the resin is between 1000 to about 10,000.
