Description

CLEANING PRODUCTS TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a substantially dry and disposable personal cleaning product useful both for cleaning and conditioning the skin or hair. These products are used by the consumer when moistening the dry product with water. The product includes a water-insoluble substrate, a foaming surfactant and an oil-soluble conditioning agent. The use of substrates increases foaming at low surfactant levels, increases cleaning and exfoliation and optimizes the supply and deposition of conditioning ingredients. As a result, this invention provides effective cleaning using lower, and therefore less irritating, levels of surfactant while providing superior conditioning benefits. The invention also encompasses products that include various active ingredients for delivery to the skin or hair. The invention also encompasses a method for cleaning and moisturizing the skin and hair, using the products of the present invention and also methods for making these products.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Traditionally, personal cleansing products have been marketed in a variety of forms such as bar soaps, creams, lotions and gels. These cleaning formulations have tried to satisfy a number of criteria in order to be acceptable to consumers. These criteria include cleaning effectiveness, sensitivity to the skin, softness to the skin, hair, eye mucous membranes and foaming volume. The ideal personal cleansers should carefully cleanse the skin or hair, cause slight irritation or not cause irritation, and not leave the skin or hair too dry after frequent use. However, these traditional forms of personal cleansing products have the problem inherent in balancing the cleaning effectiveness against the supply of a conditioning benefit. One solution to this problem is to use separate cleaning products and conditioners. However, this is not always convenient or practical and many consumers would prefer to use a unique product that can both cleanse and condition the skin or hair. In a typical cleaning composition, the conditioning ingredients are difficult to formulate, since many conditioners are incompatible with the surfactants, which results in an inhomogeneous undesirable mixture. To obtain a homogeneous mixture with conditioning ingredients and to prevent the loss of conditioning ingredients before the deposition, additional ingredients, for example, emulsifiers, thickeners and agitators are often added to suspend the conditioning ingredients within the surfactant mixture. This results in an aesthetically pleasing and homogeneous mixture, but often results in poor deposition of conditioning ingredients, since the conditioners are emulsified and not released efficiently during cleaning. Also, many conditioning agents have the disadvantage of suppressing foam generation. The suppression of foam is a problem because many consumers look for cleaning products that provide a rich, creamy and generous foam. Therefore, it is seen that conventional cleaning products which try to combine surfactants and conditioning ingredients suffer from disadvantages inherently resulting from the incompatibilities of surfactants and conditioners. There is a clear need to develop cleaning systems that provide effective cleaning and still provide sufficient conditioning in a single product. Likewise, it is highly desirable to provide cleansing and conditioning benefits from a disposable, single-use product. Disposable products are convenient, since they prevent the need to load bottles, bars, jars, uncomfortable tubes and other forms of cleaning and conditioning products. Disposable products are also a more sanitary alternative than the use of a sponge, cleaning cloth or other cleaning products proposed to be used again in multiple ways, since that said products develop bacterial growth, unpleasant odors and other undesirable characteristics related to repeated use. Surprisingly, it has been found in the present invention that the products can be developed to provide effective cleaning and conditioning in a convenient, inexpensive, disposable and sanitary personal cleaning product. The present invention provides the convenience of not needing the use of separate cleaning and conditioning products. The present invention is highly convenient for use, since it is in the form of a substantially dry product that is moistened before use. The present invention relates to a dry, disposable personal cleansing product useful both for cleaning and conditioning of hair or skin. These products are used by the consumer when moistening the dry product with water. The product consists of a substrate insoluble in water, a surfactant and a conditioner. Without being limited to theory, it is believed that the substrate increases foaming at low levels of surfactant, increases cleaning and exfoliation and optimizes the assortment and deposition of packaging ingredients. As a result, this invention provides effective cleaning by using lower, and therefore less irritating, levels of surfactant, while providing superior conditioning benefits. Also, it has been found that these products are useful for providing a wide range of active ingredients for the skin or hair during the cleaning process.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide substantially dry products for cleaning and conditioning the characterized skin or hair because the products are used in combination with water. It is another object of the present invention to provide products that include a water insoluble substrate, a surfactant and a conditioning component. Another object of the present invention is to provide products that are disposable and proposed for single use. It is another object of the present invention to provide products that are soft to the skin or hair. It is another object of the present invention to provide products useful for delivering active ingredients to the skin or hair during the cleaning and conditioning process. It is another object of the present invention to provide cleansing and conditioning methods to the skin or hair. It is another object of the present invention to provide methods of manufacturing the products of the present invention. This and other objects of this invention will be apparent in the light of the following description.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a disposable cleaning and conditioning product, for personal care and single use, which includes: (A) a water-insoluble substrate, (B) a foaming surfactant, and (C) a soluble conditioning agent. in oil, wherein the weight ratio of the foaming surfactant to the oil-soluble conditioning agent is less than about 8: 1 and wherein said product is substantially dry. In other embodiments, the present invention relates to a disposable single-use personal care cleaning and conditioning product that includes: (A) a water-insoluble substrate, and (B) a cleaning and conditioning composition that includes: (i) ) a foaming surfactant, and (i) an oil-soluble conditioning agent, wherein said foaming agent and said oil-soluble conditioning agent is added or impregnated separately or simultaneously in said water-insoluble substrate, and wherein the ratio of weight of the foaming surfactant to the oil-soluble conditioning agent is less than about 8: 1, wherein said product is substantially dry.

In other embodiments, the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a cleaning and conditioning product., disposable for personal care and single use, which includes the step of adding or impregnating separately or simultaneously in a water insoluble substrate. (A) a foaming surfactant, and (B) an oil-soluble conditioning agent, wherein the weight ratio of the foaming surfactant to the oil-soluble conditioning agent is less than about 8: 1, wherein said resulting product is substantially dry. In other embodiments, the present invention relates to methods for cleaning and conditioning the hair or skin with the personal cleansing products described herein. In still other embodiments, the present invention relates to methods for depositing conditioning agents on the skin or hair. All percentages and ratios used herein, unless otherwise specified, are by weight and all measurements made are at 25 ° C, except those otherwise designated. The present invention may include, consist of, or consist essentially of essential ingredients and components, as well as optional ingredients and components described herein.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The personal cleansers of the present invention are highly effective in cleaning hair or skin, and still provide effective deposition of conditioning agents. The products may also contain other active ingredients that can be deposited on the skin or hair. Without being limited to theory, it is believed that the substrate contributes significantly to the generation of foam and deposition of conditioning agents and other active ingredients. It is believed that this increase in foaming is the result of the action on the surface of the substrate. As a result, milder and significantly lower amounts of surfactants can be employed. It is believed that the reduced amount of surfactant required is related to the reduction in the drying effect of the skin or hair by the surfactants. In addition, the reduced amount of the surfactant drastically decreases the inhibitory action (for example, via emulsification or direct removal by the surfactants) or surfactants to deposit the conditioning agents. Without being limited to theory, the substrate also increases the deposition of conditioning agents and active ingredients. Since the invention is in dry form, the invention does not require emulsifiers that inhibit the deposition of conditioning agents and active ingredients. Also, since the skin conditioners and active ingredients are dried or impregnated in the substrate, they are transferred directly to the skin or hair by contacting the surface of the moist product with the skin. Finally, the substrate also increases the cleanliness. The substrate may have different textures on each side, for example a rough side and a smooth side. The substrate acts as an effective foaming agent and exfoliating product. By physically coming in contact with skin or hair, the substrate significantly helps to clean and remove dirt, makeup, dead skin cells and other debris. By a "foaming surfactant" is meant a surfactant, which when combined with water and mechanically stirred generates a foam or suds. Preferably, these surfactants should be mild, which means that these surfactants provide sufficient cleaning or detersive benefits, but do not dry the skin or hair too much and still meet the foam criteria discussed above. The terms "disposable" or "single use" are used herein in their ordinary sense to mean a product that may be discarded or discarded after use. The term "activated in water" as used herein, means that the present invention is presented to the consumer in dry form for use after moistening it with water. It was found that these products produce a foam or are "activated" when they come into contact with water and more agitation.

The term "substantially dry" as used herein means that the product is substantially free of water and usually feels dry to the touch. The products of the present invention include less than about 10% by weight of water, preferably less than about 5% by weight of water and more preferably less than about 1% by weight of water, the foregoing measured in a dry environment, for example low humidity Those skilled in the art will recognize that the water content of a product as in the present invention can vary with the relative humidity of the environment. The term "soft" as used herein in reference to the foaming surfactants and products of the present invention means that the products of the present invention demonstrate comparable skin softness to an alkylglyceryl ether sulfonate (AGS) surfactant based on a Synthetic bar, for example synbar bar. Methods to measure the softness or vice versa the irptability of a surfactant, which contain the products, are based on a skin bar destruction test. In this test, while the surfactant is softer, the skin bar will be less destroyed. The destruction of the skin bar is measured by the relative amount of water marked with radium (marked with tritium) (3H-H20) that passes from the test solution through the epidermis of the skin into a physiological pH enhancer content in the camera. The test is described by T.Franz in J.Invest.Dermatol .. 1975,64, pp. 190-195; and in U.S. Patent No. 4,673,525 to Small et al., issued June 16, 1987, which will be here by reference of its entirety. Other test methodologies for determining the surfactant softness well known to those skilled in the art can also be used. The personal care products of the present invention include the following essential components. The composition, which is impregnated or applied to the substrate, consists essentially of one or more surfactants and one or more conditioning agents. Additional active ingredients may also be included within the composition. An alternative and preferred method is to apply each ingredient separately to the substrate. In embodiments where only an oil-soluble conditioning agent is required, these cleaning and conditioning products are substantially and preferably free of benzoate of C12-15 alcohols, for example free of benzoic acid esters of alcohols having mainly about 12 to around 15 carbon atoms. See International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary, Fifth Edition, 1993, p. 87, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Also, "substantially free of benzoates of C1-15 alcohols" means less than about 1%, preferably less than about 0.5% and more preferably less than about 0.25% by weight of the cleaning and conditioning composition, which includes the surfactant foaming agent and the oil-soluble conditioning agent.

SUBSTRATE INSOLUBLE IN WATER The products of the present invention include a water-insoluble substrate. By "insoluble in water" it is meant that the substrate does not dissolve in or break easily due to immersion in water. The water-insoluble substrate is the product or vehicle for supplying the foaming surfactant and the conditioning component of the present invention to the skin or hair for cleaning or conditioning. Without being limited to the theory, it is believed that the substrate, by providing mechanical stirring, provides a foaming generation effect and also aids in the deposition of the conditioning component. A wide variety of materials can be used as the substrate. The following non-limiting characteristics are desirable: (i) sufficient wetting force to be used, (ii) sufficient abrasivity, (iii) sufficient bulge and porosity, (iv) sufficient thickness and (v) appropriate size.

The fibers can be random (for example, randomly aligned) or can be carded (for example, carded to be primarily operated in one direction). In addition, the non-woven substrate may be composed of a combination of carded and random fiber layers. Nonwoven substrates can include a variety of both natural and synthetic materials. By natural, it is understood that the materials are derived from plants, animals, insects or byproducts of plants, animals and insects. By synthetic, it is understood that the materials are obtained mainly from various materials made by man or natural matepales that have been altered more.

CONDITIONER COMPONENT The products of the present invention include an oil-soluble conditioning agent that is useful for providing a conditioning benefit to the skin or hair during use of the product. The oil-soluble conditioning agent includes about 1% about 99%, preferably about 2% about 50% and more preferably about 3% about 25% by weight of said water insoluble substrate. The oil-soluble conditioning oil is selected from one or more soluble conditioning agents, whereby the heavy arithmetic average solubility parameter of the oil-soluble conditioning agent is less than or equal to 10.5. It is recognized, based on its mathematical definition of solubility parameters, that it is possible, for example, to achieve the required arithmetic mean solubility parameter, for example, less than or equal to . 5, for an oil-soluble conditioning agent that includes two or more compounds, if one of the compounds has an individual solubility parameter greater than 10.5. Solubility parameters are well known in formulation chemistry for those skilled in the art and are routinely used as a guide for the compatibility and solubilities of materials in the formulation process. The solubility parameter of a chemical compound, d, is defined as the square root of the cohesive energy density for that compound. Typically, a solubility parameter for a compound is calculated from tabulated values of the contributions of the additive group for the heat of vaporization and the molar volume of the components of that compound, using the following equation: where S, S, the sum of the heat of vaporization of the additive group contributions, and ?, m, the sum of the contributions of the molar volume additive group. Standard vaporization heat tabs and molar volume additive group contributions for a wide variety of atoms and groups of atoms are collected in Barton, A.F.M. Handbook of Solubility Parameters, CRC Press, Chapter 6, Table 3. Pp. 64-66 (1985), which is uncolored here by reference in its entirety. The above solubility parameter equation is described in Fedors, R.F., "A Method for Estimatlng Both the Solubility Parameters and Molar Volumes of Liquids", Polymer Engineering and Science, vol. 14, no. 2, pp. 147-154 (February 1974), which is unofficial here by reference in its entirety. The solubility parameters obey the laws of mixtures, so that the solubility parameter for a mixture of materials is given by the heavy arithmetic medium (for example, the heavy average) of the solubility parameters for each component of that mixture. See, Handbook of Chemistry and Physiscs, 57th edition, CRC Press, p. C-726 (1976-1977), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. The formulation chemicals typically report and use solubility parameters in units of (cal / cm3) 1'2. The tabulated values of contributions of additive groups for heat of vaporization in Handbook of Solubility Parameters are reported in units of Kj / mol. However, this tabulated heat of vaporization values is easily converted to cal / ml using the following well-known relationships: 1 J / mol = 0.239006 cal / mol and 1000 J = 1 Kj.

See Gordon, A.J. et al., The Chemist's Companion, John Wiley Se Sons, pp. 456-463. (1972), which is unofficial here by reference in its entirety. The solubility parameters have also been tabulated for a wide variety of chemical materials. Solubility parameter tabulations are found in the aforementioned Handbook of Solubilitv Parameters.
