Description

COMPOSITION OF CAMO CONDITIONER SHAMPOO OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to shampoo conditioner compositions containing a surfactant component in a shampoo having a particulate, insoluble and dispersed nonionic conditioning agent having two particle size or granulometric ranges, an agent of suspension and a deposition polymer. The compositions provide improved hair conditioning performance, including improved wet hair feeling.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Human hair becomes soiled due to contact with the surrounding atmosphere and, to a large extent, by the sebum secreted by the head. The accumulation of sebum causes the hair to have a dirty feeling and a repellent appearance. Dirty hair needs to be shampooed regularly. The application of shampoo to hair cleans it by removing excess dirt and sebum. However, the shampoo application process has some disadvantages, since the hair remains in a wet, entangled and generally unmanageable state. The application of shampoo can also result in hair drying or curling and lose luster, due to the elimination ie natural oils or other hair moisturizing materials. After the application of shampoo, the hair can also suffer the loss of "softness", perceived by the user when drying. Hair can also suffer an increase in static levels when drying after shampooing. This can interfere with the hairstyle and can result in flying or ruffled hair. A variety of approaches have been developed to alleviate problems after shampooing. These range from the inclusion of hair conditioning aids in shampoos to the application of hair conditioners after shampooing, that is, hair rinses. Hair rinses are usually liquid in nature and should be applied in a separate step after applying the shampoo, staying in the hair for a certain time and rinsing with clean water. Of course this is time consuming and not as convenient as shampoos that contain both cleansing and hair conditioning ingredients. While a wide variety of shampoos containing conditioning aids have been revealed, they have not been completely satisfactory due to a variety of reasons. The use of cationic conditioning agents It is very desirable in the conditioning of the hair, due to its abilities to control the static, improve the untanglement in wet and provide the user with a sensation of silky wet hair. A problem that has been found in shampoos is related to compatibility problems between good anionic cleaning surfactants and the many conventional cationic agents that have historically been used as conditioning agents. Efforts have been made to minimize adverse interaction through the use of alternating surfactants and improved cationic conditioning agents. Cationic surfactants that provide good overall conditioning in hair rinse products tend, in general, to be complexed with anionic cleansing surfactants and provide poor conditioning in the context of a shampoo. In particular, the use of soluble cationic surfactants that form soluble ionic complexes do not deposit well in the hair. Soluble cationic surfactants that form insoluble ionic complexes are deposited on the hair but do not provide good benefits in hair conditioning and tend to cause "hair to feel dirty and coated." The use of insoluble cationic surfactants, for example , tricetylmethylammonium chloride, can provide excellent anti-static benefits but, on the other hand they do not provide a good overall conditioning. Many cationic polymers tend to accumulate or settle in the hair which results in an undesirable feeling of coated hair and "not clean". Therefore, cationic polymers are preferably used, in a conventional manner, at limited levels to minimize this problem. However, this may limit the overall conditioning benefits that may be obtained. Additionally, cationic conditioning agents typically do not provide optimal overall conditioning benefits, particularly in the area of "softness," especially when supplied as an ingredient in a shampoo composition. Materials that can provide an increase in softness are non-ionic silicones. ~ Silicones in shampoo compositions have been disclosed in several different publications. These publications include U.S. Patent No. 2,826", 551, to Geen, issued March 11, 1958; U.S. Patent No. 3,964,500, issued by Dra off, issued on June 22, 1976, U.S. Patent No. 4,364,837, Pader, issued December 21, 1982, and, the British Patent. No. 849,433, of Woolston, issued September 28, 1960. While these patents disclose compositions containing silicones also do not provide a totally satisfactory product, since it was difficult to keep the silicone well dispersed and suspended in the product. Recently, in U.S. Patent No. 4,741,855, to Grote and Russell, issued May 3, 1988 and U.S. Patent No. 4,788,066, to Bolich and Williams, issued November 29, 1988. have disclosed stable compositions of hair conditioner shampoo containing insoluble silicones. These shampoo compositions can provide excellent overall conditioning benefits to the hair while maintaining excellent cleansed performance, even with the use of anionic detergent surfactants, for a wide variety of hair types. More recently, in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 07 / 622,699, by Robert L. Wells, filed on December 5, 1990, now abandoned, and its continuation of application Serial No. 07 / 778,765, filed on October 21, 1991, improved conditioning shampoos are provided, wherein shampoos containing anionic surfactant, dispersed insoluble silicone and certain cationic polymers with relatively low ionic strength (greater than about 0.4 meq./g) are disclosed. These compositions They provide excellent hair conditioning to a wide variety of hair types, including especially improved conditioning to hair damaged by dyeing, bleaching, permanent treatments, etc. The Japanese Patent Application, set forth with No. 56-72095, dated June 16, 1981, by Hirota et al. (Kao Soap Corp.) also discloses a shampoo containing cationic polymer and silicone conditioning agents Other patent publications relating to shampoos containing cationic and silicone agents include Publication of the EPO Application 0 413 417, published ZZO February 1991, by Hartnett et al Another approach to provide The benefits of hair conditioning to shampoo compositions has been to use materials that are oily to the touch.These materials provide an improved luster and shine to hair. oily substances have also been combined with cationic materials in shampoo formulations Japanese Patent Application Showa 53-3590S, published October 6, 1979 CShowa 54-129135), by N. Uchino (Lion Yushi Co.), discloses compositions for hair treatment, containing cationic polymer, fatty acid salt and at least 10% of an oily component to be used before or after after "the application of shampoo. Suitable oily components are hydrocarbons, higher alcohols, fatty acid esters, glycerides and fatty acids. Japanese Patent Application 62 [1987] -327266, filed on December 25, 1987, published on July 4, 1989, set forth with No. HEI 1 [19871 -168612, to Horie et al., Discloses detergent compositions containing cationic surfactant and / or cationic polymer, anionic surfactant and specific esters of formula RCOOR ', wherein R and R' are straight or branched alkyl chains. Despite these attempts to provide optimal combinations of cleansing ability - and hair conditioning, it is still desirable to provide additionally improved hair conditioning shampoo compositions. For example, it is still desirable to improve overall conditioning and, especially, gloss and luster, wet and dry combing and dry hair feeling, of hair treated with shampoo containing silicone and cationic material. For shampoos containing oily materials combined with cationic materials, it is still desirable to improve the overall conditioning, especially wet combing and detangling, dry combing and dry hair feeling. However, increase only the level of one or both Conditioning ingredients can result in adverse effects such as the feeling of oily hair and the loss of body. It is desirable to improve the conditioning without suffering from these drawbacks. An attempt to achieve this is revealed in the EPO Patent Publication No. 0 413 416, published February 20, 1991, by Robbins et al., Which discloses a shampoo containing aminosilicon, anionic surfactant, cationic surfactant and a hydrocarbon component. Normally one would expect these types of formulations to result either in an accumulation or excessive deposition of aminosilicon in the hair and, consequently, a feeling of oily hair and body loss or a relatively limited degree in improvement, due to the intentional use of very low levels of aminosilicon to avoid these adverse effects. Cationic surfactants would have a limited ability to condition the hair, due to the interaction with the anionic surfactant. The Publication of the Patent Application of the EPO No. 0 413 417, published on February 20, 1991, discloses a shampoo containing anionic surfactant and conditioning agents such as insoluble silicone (preferably aminosilicon), cationic surfactant, polyethylenes, paraffins, microcrystalline waxes, acids fatty acids or triglycerides C18-C36, esters of high fatty alcohol of high fatty acids and beeswax. Another patent document disclosing shampoo compositions and a variety of conditioning agents is US Patent No. 3,964,500, issued by Drakoff on June 22, 1976. This patent relates to a shampoo containing a silicone conditioner and an agent for body hair, selected from certain wood resins, shellac, sucrose acetate isobutyrate and cationic aminocellulose. A recent approach to providing hair conditioning benefits to a shampoo is described in U.S. Patent No. 5,085,857 (Reid et al.). The disclosed composition combines a surfactant system (selected from anionic, non-ionic or amphoteric surfactants or mixtures thereof), cationic polymer derived from guar and non-volatile silicone having a particle size of less than 2 microns. Despite all approaches and attempts to provide optimal combinations of shampoos and hair conditioners, it is still desirable to provide better conditioning shampoos.It has now been found that improved overall conditioning, especially wet conditioning, can be obtained by combining a surfactant component in a shampoo having a non-ionic, particulate and insoluble dispersed conditioning agent, which has a particle size range of less than about 0.15 microns, a crystalline agent and a deposition polymer. These compositions can provide improved conditioning, while reducing the level of undesirable side effects that can result from an increase in the level of the conditioning agent in previously known conditioning systems. As previously discussed, a conditioning agent system that contains too much silicone can result in the accumulation or deposit of silicone in the hair with repeated use and in the loss of the hair body. An excess of oil results in an oily sensation and in the loss of the body of the hair. A lot of cationic conditioning agent results in a dirty and coated hair feeling. It has now been found that the components of the present invention can provide improved overall conditioning, while minimizing the adverse effects of the build-up of the conditioning agent, which would otherwise be incurred by increasing the levels of ios. individual components in the previously known conditioning systems. It is an object of this invention to provide shampoo compositions that can provide excellent cleansing performance and improved conditioning levels, while minimizing any adverse side effects associated with accumulation or deposit, due to the use of an excess ~ of conditioning agent. It is also an object of this invention to provide a method for cleaning and conditioning hair, which can provide excellent cleansing combined with improved conditioning, while minimizing the adverse side effects associated with excessive agent accumulation. Conditioner on the hair These objects will be evident from the following description, just as other objects can become evident with the reading of the description.

These resins are highly crosslinked polymeric siloxane systems. Cross-linking is introduced through the incorporation of trifunctional and tetrafunctional silanes with monofunctional or difunctional silanes, or both, during the manufacture of the silicone resin. As is well understood in this field, the degree of crosslinking that is required in order to result in a silicone resin will vary according to the specific silane units that are incorporated in the silicone resin. In general, silicone materials having a sufficient level of trifunctional and tetrafunctional siloxane monomer units and, therefore, a sufficient level of crosslinking, so that they dry to form a rigid or hard film, are considered as silicone resins. The ratio of oxygen atoms to silicon atoms is indicative of the level of crosslinking in a particular silicone material. Silicone materials having at least about 1.1 oxygen atoms for each silicon atom in general will be silicone resins for the present. Preferably, the ratio between oxygen atoms: silicon is at least about 1.2: 1.0. Silanes in the manufacture of silicone resins include monomethyl-, dimethyl-, trimethyl-, monophenyl-, diphenyl-, methylphenyl-, monovinyl- and methylvinyl-chlorosilanes and tetrachlorosilane, where the methylsubstituted silanes are the most commonly used.

In summary, the symbol "M denotes the monofunctional unit (CH3) 3SiO) .5; D denotes the difunctional unit (CH3) 2SiO; T denotes the trifunctional unit (CH3) SiO) 1-5; and Q denotes the unit quadri tetrafunctional Si02 The prime signs in the unit symbols eg M1, D ', T' and Q 'denote substituents other than methyl and must be specifically defined each time they are present Typical alternating substituents include groups such as vinyl, phenyl, amino, hydroxyl, etc. The molar proportions of the different units, either in terms of subscripts in the symbols that indicate the total number of each type of units in the silicon or an average thereof, or as specific proportions in combination with the molecular weight, complete the description of the silicone material with the MDTQ system. The high relative molar amounts of T, Q, T 'and / or Q' relative to D, D 'M and / or M' in a silicone resin are indicative of high levels of crosslinking. As discussed herein, the general level of crosslinking may also be indicated by the ratio of oxygen to silicon. The silicone resins which are used here and are preferred are the resins MQ, MT, MTQ, MQ and MDTQ. Therefore, the preferred silicone substituent is methyl. MQ resins are especially preferred wherein the M: Q ratio is between about 0.5: 1.0 and about 1.5: 1.0 and the average molecular weight of the resin is between about 1000 to about 10,000. The weight ratio of the non-volatile silicone fluid having a refractive index of less than 1.46, to the silicone resin component, when used, is preferably from about 4: 1 to about 400: 1, this ratio "preferably being from about 9: 1 to about 200: 1, more preferably from about 19: 1 to about 100: 1, particularly when the silicone fluid component is a polydimethylsiloxane fluid or a mixture of polydimethylsiloxane fluid and polydimethylsiloxane gum, as described above. So far, the silicone resin forms part of the same phase in the compositions of the same as the silicone fluid, that is, the active conditioner, the sum of the fluid and the resin must be included in the determination of the level of the conditioning agent of the silicone. silicone of _the composition.

These exemplified embodiments of the shampoo compositions of the present invention provide hair cleansing and improved hair conditioning performance. The compositions were prepared as follows. The silicone emulsion of large particles is prepared "by the addition of approximately 70% Dimethicone, 29% of Laureth-3 Ammonium Sulfate (in base solution, at 25% by active weight) and 1% of Sodium Chloride, the percentages are by weight of the silicone premix, to a high shear mixing vessel and mix for about 30 minutes or until the desired silicone particle size is obtained (typically, the average particle size is from about 15 microns to about 100 microns). For Examples I-XV, the total alkyl sulfate surfactant (laureth-3-ammonium sulfate (added as a 25% solution) was added approximately one third to the elbow. and / or ammonium lauryl sulfate (added as a 25% solution)) to a jacketed mixing tank heated to about 74 ° C with slow stirring to form a surfactant solution. Cocamide MEA and fatty alcohol, as applicable, were added to the tank and allowed to disperse. The ethylene glycol distearate (EGDS) was then added to the mixing vessel and melted. After the EGDS is well dispersed (usually from about 5 to 20 minutes), the polyethylene glycol and the preservative, if used, were added and mixed in the surfactant solution. This mixture was passed through a heat exchanger, where it was cooled to approximately 35 ° C and collected in a finishing tank. As a result of this cooling step, the ethylene glycol distearate crystallizes to form a crystalline lattice in the product. The rest of the ammonium laureth sulfate, ammonium lauryl sulfate and other ingredients, including the silicone emulsions are added to the finishing tank with enough stirring to ensure a homogeneous mixture. Sufficient silicone emulsions are added to provide the desired level of dimethicone in the final product. The non-silicone polymers are usually dispersed in water as a 1% to 10% solution before addition to the final mixture. Once all the ingredients have been added, they can be added to the mix Additional ammonium xylene sulfonate or sodium chloride to lose weight or thicken, respectively, until the desired product viscosity is obtained. Preferred viscosities range from about 3500 to about 9000 cS at 25 ° C (as measured by a Wells-Brookfiled cone and plate viscometer at 15 / s). The compositions of the Examples can provide excellent cleaning, foaming, softness, dandruff control (where applicable) and, especially, conditioning and conditioning printing to the hair during use.
