Description

HAIR CONDITIONER COMPOSITION - COMPRISING SILICON EMULSION The present invention relates to a hair conditioning composition comprising a silicone emulsion.

BACKGROUND _ __ Human hair gets dirty due to its contact with the environment that surrounds it and due to the sebum secreted by the scalp. When the hair is dirty, it has an unpleasant sensation and an unattractive appearance. When the hair is dirty, shampoo needs to be given regularly. Shampooing the hair causes it to be cleaned by removing excess dirt and sebum. However, the shampoo can leave the hair in a wet, matted and generally unwieldy condition. Once the hair dries, it usually remains in a dry, stiff, lusterless or creped condition, due to the removal of natural hair oils and other natural conditioning and moisturizing components. Hair can also be left with very high levels of static-drying, which can interfere with the hairstyle and result in a condition commonly referred to as "hair that flies" or contributes to an undesirable "spike" phenomenon.

"In particular, in the case of long hair, a variety of approaches have been developed to reduce these problems after shampooing." This range of approaches ranges from the post-shampoo application of a hair conditioner, for example products that are applied and not "rinse and rinse-off products, even conditioning shampoos that try to both clean and condition hair in a single product." Although some consumers prefer the ease and convenience of a shampoo that includes conditioners, a considerable proportion of consumers prefer formulations more conventional conditioners that are applied to the hair as a separate step to the application of shampoo, and usually subsequent to the application of shampoo.The conditioning formulation can be in the form of products that are removed by rinsing or products that are not rinse and can be in the form of an emulsion, cream, gel , roclo and mousse. These consumers who prefer conventional conditioning formulations value the relatively superior conditioning effect or the convenience of changing the amount of the conditioner depending on the condition of the hair or hair portion. A common method to provide hair conditioning benefit is through the use of agents hair conditioners, for example cationic and polymeric surfactants, silicone and hydrocarbon conditioning agents and other organic oils, and solid aliphatic compounds such as fatty alcohols. Cationic and polymeric surfactants, as well as oils and aliphatics are known to improve the shine of hair and provide moisture, softness and static control to hair, however, they are also known to provide a serous or oily or sticky feel. - - The silicone polymers that have high molecular weight are known to provide favorable conditioning benefits such as softness and ease of combing. However, these high molecular weight silicone polymer s tend to have a large particle size and are thermodynamically unstable. It is known that the mechanical shear stress gives the rluids a smaller particle size. The high molecular weight silicone polymers are too viscous to emulsify to provide a desirable particle size. - Therefore, high molecular weight silicone polymers can not be formulated at levels that provide the desired conditioning benefits. A suitable way to obtain silicone polymers of high molecular weight and still stable, is provided by the emulsion polymerization of silicone oligomers. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-163122 discloses hair cosmetics comprising a micro-emulsion of dimethylpolysiloxane obtained by emulsion polymerization, a copolymer of dimethylpolysiloxane and polyoxyalkylene and water. U.S. Patent No. 5,504,149 discloses a method for making a silicone emulsion having high viscosity, wherein a mixture of water, cyclic siloxane, optional nonionic surfactant and cationic surfactant is polymerized using silanolate or organosilanolate as an initiator. International Publication WO95 / 24180 discloses a rinse-off hair conditioning composition, comprising a cationic surfactant and a non-ionic conditioning polymer of dimethiconol, emulsion polymerized. In general, high molecular weight polymers are based on the use of anionic surfactants which act as catalysts for the rapid reaction of polymerizing the silicone oligomers. The resulting emulsion containing the high molecular weight silicone polymer was a condition rich in anionic surfactant. This limits the use of the resulting emulsion with cationic conditioning agents, particularly cationic surfactants. Without being limited by any theory, it is believed - that if the Cationic surfactant is added directly to an environment rich in anionic compounds, the anionic surfactant included in the emulsion, having opposite ionic charges, relates to destroy the emulsion and / or produce an unwanted precipitation. This would lead to significant difficulties in the formulation of high molecular weight silicone polymers in the conditioning composition, including certain levels of cationic surfactants. It is known that certain levels of the cationic surfactant provide excellent control of the static in the conditioning formulations. Therefore, there is still a desire to provide a conditioning composition that provides improved conditioning benefits and is stable with a wide variety of conditioning agents. In the present invention, a hair conditioning composition comprising a silicone emulsion comprising a high molecular weight silicone polymer made by a certain surfactant system, has been developed, so as to provide improved conditioning benefits such as moisture, softness, Free flow, decreased stickiness and static control, and can be used with a wide range of conditioning agents.

SUMMARY The present invention relates to a hair conditioning composition comprising, by weight of the concentrate: (a) a silicone emulsion comprising: i) from about 0.01% to about 20% of the entire composition, of a polymer of silicone selected from the group consisting of polyalkylsiloxane having a molecular weight of at least 20,000, a polyarylsiloxane having a molecular weight of at least 20,000, an amino-substituted siloxane having a molecular weight of at least 5,000, a silicone resin having a molecular weight of at least 5,000 and mixtures thereof; ii) an anionic surfactant; iii) a compatibilizing surfactant; and iv) a cationic surfactant; wherein the silicone polymer is dispersed as a particle having an average size of no more than about 450 nm; (b) from about 0.1% to about 20% of a cationic surfactant; and (c) water; wherein the total amount per mole of cationic surfactants in the composition is greater than the total amount per mole of anionic surfactants in the composition. These compositions satisfy the need for a hair conditioning composition, which has improved conditioning benefits such as "moisture, softness, free flow, less stickiness and static control, and which can be used with a wide range of conditioning agents.

Also useful are silicone resins, which are highly crosslinked polymeric siloxane systems, having a molecular weight of at least 5,000, preferably at least 10,000. 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 entities 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 Generally silicone resins will be present for this, 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, where the methyl-substituted silanes are the most commonly used. Without being limited by theory, it is considered that silicone resins can improve the deposition of other silicones in the hair and can improve the lustrousness of hair with high volumes of refractive index. Other useful silicone resins are the silicone resin powders as the materials to which the CTFA designation of polymethylsilsequixan is given.

The silicone resins can be conveniently identified according to an abbreviated nomenclature system well known to those skilled in the art such as the "MDTQ" nomenclature. In this system, the silicone is described according to the presence of several monomeric siloxane units that form the silicone. In summary, the symbol M denotes the monofunctional unit (CH3) 3SiO) 0.5; D denotes the difunctional unit (CH3) 2SiO; T denotes the trifunctional unit (CH3) SiO) 1-5; and Q denotes the quadri or tetrafunctional unit Si02. The bonus signs in unit symbols for example, __ ', 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 of them, or as specifically indicated 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, T1 and / or Q 'relative to D, D' M and / or M 'in a silicone resin are indicative of high levels of crosslinking. However, as discussed here, the general level of crosslinking can also indicated by the oxygen to silicon ratio. 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. Especially preferred are MQ resins wherein the M: Q ratio is between about 0.5: 1.0 and about 1.5: 1.0.

Surfactant® Compatibilizer The compatibilizing surfactant useful in making the silicone emulsions of the present invention is that which functions to compatibilize with emulsion the anionically polymerized silicone emulsion with the cationic surfactant. Without being bound by any theory, it is believed that if the cationic surfactant is added directly to the anionic mixture obtained after the initial emulsion polymerization of the starting silicone material with the anionic surfactants, the anionic surfactants included in the silicone emulsion emulsion-anionically polymerized having ionic charges - opposed to those of cationic surfactants, react to destroy the emulsion and / or produce undesirable precipitation.
