Description

CLEANING PRODUCTS TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a substantially clean 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. Ideal personal cleansers should carefully cleanse the skin or hair, cause a 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 homogenous mixture with conditioning ingredients and to prevent the loss of conditioning ingredients before the deposition, Additional ingredients, for example, emulsifiers, thickeners and gelling agents, 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 that 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 form, since said products develop bacterial growth, unpleasant odors and other undesirable characteristics related to repeated use. In a surprising way, it has been found in the present Invention that the products can be developed to provide effective cleaning and conditioning in a convenient, cheap, 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 to supply a wide range of active ingredients for the skin or hair during the cleaning procedure. 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 cleaning 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 conditioning agent soluble in water. oil, wherein said cleaning product deposits an amount greater than about 2.5 μg / cm2 of said oil-soluble conditioning agent to the surface of the skin or hair, and wherein said product is substantially dry. In other embodiments, the present invention relates to a disposable personal care and disposable cleaning and conditioning product that includes: (A) a water insoluble substrate, and (B) a cleaning and conditioning composition that includes: (1) ) a foaming surfactant, and (ii) an oil-soluble conditioning agent, wherein said foaming agent and said oil-soluble conditioning agent are added or impregnated separately or simultaneously in said water-insoluble substrate, and wherein the ratio of The weight of the foaming surfactant to the oil-soluble conditioning agent is less than about 20: 1, wherein said cleaning agent deposits an amount greater than about 2.5 μg / cm of said oil-soluble conditioning agent to the surface of the skin or hair and wherein said product is substantially dry. In other embodiments, the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a disposable personal care and disposable cleaning and conditioning product, which includes the step of adding or impregnating separately or simultaneously into 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 20: 1, wherein said cleaning products deposit an amount greater than about 2.5 μg / cm2 of said oil-soluble conditioning agent to the surface of the skin or hair, and 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 Invention of present 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. In addition, 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 an 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 foaming criteria described 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 skin smoothness comparable to an alkylglyceryl ether sulphonate surfactant (AGS) based on a bar synthetic, for example synbar bar. Methods to measure the mildness or vice versa the irritability 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-H2O) that passes from the test solution through the epidermis of the skin into a physiological pH enhancer content in the diffused camera. The test is described by T.J. Franz in J.Invest.Dermatol .. 1975,64, pp. 190-195; and in U.S. Patent No. 4,673,525 to Smail et al., issued June 16, 1987, which are hereby incorporated by reference in their 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 from about 12 to about 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 C12-15 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, (ni) sufficient bulging and porosity, (v) sufficient thickness and (v) appropriate size. Non-limiting examples of suitable soluble substrates meeting the aforementioned criteria include non-woven substrates, woven substrates, hydroentangled substrates, air-entangled substrates, natural sponges, synthetic sponges, meshes with net meshes and the like. Preferred embodiments are non-woven substrates, as they are economically and readily available in a variety of materials. By "non-woven" is meant that the layer comprises fibers that are not woven in a fabric, but that are formed in a layer of sheet, fibrous or pad mat. The fibers can be random (for example, randomly aligned) or can be carded (for example, carded to be oriented mainly 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 from natural materials 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 agent oil-soluble conditioner 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 the mathematical definition of solubility parameters, that it is possible, for example, obtain the parameter arithmetic mean solubility heavy required, for example, less than or equal to 10.5, for an agent soluble conditioning oil including 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 contpbuciones, and S, m, the sum of the contributions of the additive group of molar volume. 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 Solubilitv Parameters. CRC Press, Chapter 6, Table 3. Pp. 64-66 (1985), which is unofficial here by reference in its entirety. The equation above solubility parameter is described in Fedors, R.F., "A Method for Estimating Both the Solubility Parameters and Molar Volumes of Liquids", Polvmer Ep ineerinq and Science, vol. 14, no. 2, pp. 147-154 (February 1974), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. The solubility parameters obey the laws of mixtures, so 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 Chemistrv and Phvsiscs. 57 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 Solubilitv 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 & Sons, pp. 456-463. (1972), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

MANUFACTURING METHODS The single-use disposable personal care cleaning and conditioning products of the present invention are manufactured by adding or impregnating separately or simultaneously in a water-insoluble substrate a foaming surfactant and a conditioning agent, wherein said resulting product is substantially dry. . By "separately" it is understood that surfactants and conditioning agents can be added sequentially, in any order without being combined first. By "simultaneously" it is understood that surfactants and conditioning agents can be added at the same time, with or without first being combined. For example, the foaming surfactants may first be added to or impregnated in the water insoluble substrate followed by the softening conditioning agents. Alternatively, the foaming surfactants and conditioning agents can be added or impregnated in the water insoluble substrate at the same time. Alternatively, the foaming surfactants and conditioning agents can be combined before being added or impregnated in the water insoluble substrate. The surfactant, conditioning agents and any optional ingredients may be added to or impregnated into the water insoluble substrate by any means known to those skilled in the art: for example, by spraying, laser printing, splashing, dipping, soaking, coating. When water or moisture is used or is presented in the manufacturing process, the resulting treated substrate is subsequently dried so that it is substantially free of water. The treated substrate can be dried by any means known to those skilled in the art. Non-limiting examples of known drying media include the use of convection ovens, radiant heat sources, microwave ovens, forced air ovens and heated cylinders or cans. Drying also includes air drying without the addition of heat energy, unlike that present in the environment. Also, a combination of various drying methods can be used.

METHODS OF CLEANSING AND CONDITIONING HAIR OR SKIN The present invention also relates to a method for cleaning and conditioning the skin or hair with a personal cleansing product of the present invention. These methods include the steps of moistening with water a substantially dry, disposable, and unique personal use cleaning product that includes a water-insoluble substrate, a foaming surfactant, and a conditioning component and the skin or hair comes into contact with said wet product. In other embodiments, the present invention is also useful for delivering various active ingredients to the skin or hair. The products of the present invention are substantially dry and are intended to be moistened with water before use. The product is moistened by immersion in water or by placing it under a stream of water. The foam is generated from the product by mechanical agitation and / or deforming the product, either before or during the contact of the product with the skin or hair. The resulting foam is useful for cleaning and conditioning the skin or hair. During the procedure of cleaning and subsequent rinsing with water, conditioning agents and active ingredients are deposited on the skin or hair. The deposition of conditioning agents and active ingredients is increased by physical contact of the skin or hair substrate.

DEPOSITION OF THE COMPONENT ACONCIONADOR AND ANY ACTIVE INGREDIENT IN THE SKIN OR HAIR The compositions of the present invention are useful for depositing the conditioning components of the present invention to the skin or hair. In other embodiments where an active ingredient is present, the compositions are also useful for depositing the active ingredient on the skin or hair. The compositions of the present invention preferably deposit an amount greater than about 2.5 micrograms / cm2, more preferably greater than about 5 micrograms / cm2, more preferably greater than about 10 micrograms / cm2 and more preferably even greater than about 25 micrograms / cm2 of the component conditioner to the skin or hair during the use of the product. The present invention also relates to a method for depositing an amount greater than about 2.5 micrograms / cm 2, preferably greater than about 5 micrograms / cm 2 more preferably greater than about 10 micrograms / cm 2, and more preferably even greater than about 25 micrograms / cm 2 of the skin or hair surface conditioning agent. The amount of the conditioning component deposited on the skin or hair can be measured by a variety of standard analytical techniques well known in the chemistry of those skilled in the art. Such methods include for example the removal of an area of skin or hair with a suitable solvent followed by analysis by chromatography (for example, gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, super critical fluid chromatography, etc.), IR spectroscopy UV spectroscopy? IS, mass spectrometry, etc. Direct measurements can also be made on the skin or hair by techniques such as IR spectroscopy, UV VIS spectroscopy, opacity measurement, fluorescence spectroscopy, ESCA spectroscopy and the like. In a typical method for measuring deposition, a product of the present invention is moistened with water, pressed and agitated to generate a foam. The product is subsequently rubbed for approximately 15 seconds at one site, approximately about 25 cm 2 to about 300 cm 2, preferably about 50 cm 2 about 100 cm 2 on the skin or head that has been marked using an appropriate indelible marker. The site is subsequently rinsed for approximately 10 seconds and subsequently allowed to air dry for approximately 10 minutes. Subsequently, the site is extracted and the extracts analyzed or analyzed directly using any technique such as those described above.
