Description

COMPOSITIONS OF CHAMPU CONDITIONER TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to shampoo conditioner compositions that cleanse hair and condition it.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Human hair becomes soiled due to its contact with the surrounding environment and the sebum secreted by the scalp. The impurities of the hair cause it to have a sensation -of dirt and an unattractive appearance. Dirty hair needs shampooing with frequent regularity. Shampooing cleans the hair by removing excess oil and sebum. However, washing with shampoo can leave the hair in a wet, tangled and generally non-manageable state. Once the hair dries, it is often left with a dry, rough, dull or frizzy condition due to the removal of natural hair oils and other natural conditioning and moisture components. Hair can also be left with increased levels of static after drying, which can interfere with the hairstyle and result in a condition commonly referred to as "cantilever hair". A variety of approaches have been developed to alleviate these problems after shampooing. These approaches vary from the application of conditioners after shampooing, such as products that remain on the hair and those that are rinsed from it, to hair conditioner shampoos that try to provide both cleansing and condition to the hair from a single product. Hair conditioners are typically applied in a separate step that follows shampooing. Conditioners for hair are either rinsed or left in the hair, depending on the type of product used. However, hair conditioners have the disadvantage of requiring a separate and inconvenient treatment step. Conditioner shampoos, that is, shampoos that provide both cleansing and hair condition, are very desirable products because they are convenient for use by consumers.

To provide the conditioning benefits for the hair in a cleansing shampoo base, a wide variety of conditioning actives has been proposed. However, many of these assets have the disadvantage of leaving the hair feeling dirty or dirty, and interfering with the cleaning efficacy of the shampoo. Japanese Patent Laid-Open (Kokai) H6-17097 published January 25, 1994 discloses cleaning compositions such as for example shampoos comprising a polyvalent metal salt of anionic surfactant and a silicone derivative. Exemplified anionic surfactants include acyl amino acid salts. International Publication No. WO95 / 0115, published on January 12, 1995 discloses a hair conditioning shampoo comprising a detergent surfactant, a non-volatile hair conditioning agent and polyvalent metal cations in an ion-free form. Japanese Patent Laid-Open (Kokai) H7-11287, published January 13, 1995, describes a cleaning composition such as for example shampoos comprising a neutral N-acyl amino acid of magnesium salt and an anionic surfactant. The exemplified amino acid entities of the salt are N-met il-β-alanine and sarcosine. In the present invention, a hair conditioning shampoo composition has been developed which comprises a primary anionic surfactant, a polyvalent metal cation and a cationic conditioning agent. This composition provides conditioning shampoo compositions which have improved conditioning benefits, improved foam performance and preferably viscosity.

PRIMARY ANIONIC SURFACTANT The present invention comprises between about 0.05% and about 50%, preferably between about 0.1% and about 30%, more preferably between about 0.5% and about 20% of a primary anionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of surfactants polyhydric anionics, amino acid surfactants and mixtures thereof. The primary anionic surfactant is capable of forming a coacervate with the polyvalent metal cations mentioned below and cationic conditioning agents mentioned below. Preferably, the primary anionic surfactant is a polyhydrophilic anionic surfactant. The polyhydrophilic anionic surfactants are useful as the primary anionic surfactants herein. As used herein, the term "polyhydrophilic" means a surfactant having at least two hydrophilic groups that provide a hydrophilic nature and are capable of forming salts with a metal cation, particularly with metal cations. polyvalent The polyhydrophilic surfactants useful in the present invention are only those that have at least two hydrophilic groups in the molecule and are not intended to encompass those that only have one hydrophilic group. A molecule of the polyhydrophilic anionic surfactant herein may comprise the same hydrophilic groups, or different hydrophilic groups. Specifically, the polyhydrophilic anionic surfactants of the present invention comprise at least one group selected from the group consisting of carboxy, hydroxy, sulfate, sulfonate and phosphate. The polyhydrophilic anionic surfactants are those which comprise at least one of a carboxy, sulfate or sulfonate group, more preferably, those comprising at least one carboxy group. Non-limiting examples of polyhydrophilic anionic surfactants include N-acyl-L-glutamates such as for example N-cocoyl-L-glut amato and N-lauroyl-L-glutamate, laurimin propionate, N-acyl-L-aspartate, di- (N -lauroyl N-methyl taurate), polyoxyethylene lauryl sulfosuccinate, N-octadecyl sulfate disodium succinate; disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate; lauryl sulfosuccinate diammonium, N- (1,2-dicarboxyethyl-N-ocadeylsulfosuccinate tetrasodium, the diaminoster of sodium sulfosuccinic acid, the dihexyl ester of sodium sulfosuccinic acid, and the dioctyl ester of sodium sulfosuccinic acid, and 2-cocoalkyl N-carboxyethyl N-carboxyethoxyethyl imidazolinium betaine, lauroamphoxypropylsulfonate, cocoglyceryl ether salts, cocoglyceride sulfate, lauroyl isethionate, lauroanfoacetate and those of the following formula: H? 2CH2C-N-CH2 H2N (CH2COOH) 2 1 C = 0 I R wherein R is an alkyl of 12 to 18 carbon atoms. Other polyhydrophilic anionic surfactants include olefin sulfonates having from about 10 to about 24 carbon atoms. The term "olefin sulfonates" is used herein to represent compounds that can be produced by the sulfonation of alpha-olefins by means of sulfur trioxide without complexing, followed by neutralization of the acid reaction mixture under such conditions that any sulfones that have formed in the reaction are hydrolyzed to provide the corresponding hydroxy-alkan sulfonates. Sulfur trioxide can be liquid or gaseous, and usually, but not necessarily, is diluted by inert diluents, for example by liquid S02, chlorinated hydrocarbons, etc., when used in the liquid form, or by air, nitrogen, S02 gaseous, etc., when used in the gaseous form. The α-olefins from which the olefin sulfonates are derived are mono-olefins having from about 12 to about 24 carbon atoms, preferably from about 14 to about 16 carbon atoms. Preferably, they are straight chain olefins. In addition to the true alkene sulphonates and a proportion of hydroxyalkylene sulphonates, the olefin sulfonates may contain minor amounts of other materials, such as alkene disulfonates depending on the reaction conditions, proportion of reactants, the nature of the olefins. of starting and impurities in the olefin material and secondary reactions during the sulphonation process. A mixture of α-olefin sulfonate of the above type is described in more detail in U.S. Patent No. 3,332,880 to Pflaumer and Kessler, issued July 25, 1967, which is incorporated herein by reference herein. whole. Another class of primary anionic surfactants are amino acid surfactants that are surfactants that have the basic chemical structure of an amino acid compound, that is, that contain a structural component of one of the naturally occurring amino acids. It should be understood by the skilled person that some surfactants can be considered as a polyhydrophilic anionic surfactant and an amino acid surfactant. These surfactants are suitable primary anionic surfactants. Non-limiting examples of amino acid surfactants include N-cocoylalaninate, N-acyl-N-met il-β-alanate, N-acyl sarcos inato, N-alkylamino-propionates and N-alkyliminodipropionates, specific examples of these include N-acid lauryl-β-aminopropionic or salts thereof and N-lauryl-β-imino-dipropionate, N-acyl-DL-alaninate, sodium lauryl sarcosinate, lauroyl sarcosinate sodium, lauryl sarcosine, cocoyl sarcosine, N-acyl- N-methyl taurate, lauroyl taurate and lauroyl lactylate. The commercially available, suitable primary anionic surfactants of the present invention are N-acyl-L-glutamates under the trade name AMISOFT CT-12S, N-acyl potassium glycine under the trade name AMILITE GCK-12, lauroyl glutamate under the trade name AMISOFT LS-11 and N-acyl-DL-alaninate with the trade name - AMILITE ACT12 supplied by Ajinomoto; aci laspartato with the trade names ASPARACK and AAS supplied by Mitsubishi Chemical; and acyl derivatives with the trade name ED3A supplied by Hampshire Chemical Corp. It has been found that these primary anionic surfactants, together with the cationic conditioning agents and the polyvalent metal cations as described below, form a coacervate in the compositions herein invention The coacervate formulation depends on a variety of criteria such as molecular weight, component concentration and ionic strength ratio of the ionic interaction components, charge density of the cationic and anionic components, pH and temperature. Coacervate systems and the effect of these parameters are known in the art.

It is considered to be particularly advantageous, and to be the discovery of the present invention, that primary anionic surfactants and polyvalent metal cations at certain levels be present with the cationic conditioning agents in a coacervate phase. It is believed that the coacervates formed in the compositions of the present invention are easily deposited on the hair by diluting the coacervate with copious water, that is, by rinsing the shampoo. Without being bound by any theory, it is believed that coacervates made by the essential components of the present invention provide two main effects of the present shampoo composition. First, it reduces the Critical Micelle Concentration (hereinafter "CMC") of the composition. The reduction of CMC is related to the reduction of surface tension, thus improving foaming performance. Secondly, the existence of the primary anionic surfactants together with the polyvalent metal cations extend the coacervate region in the composition. As the cationic conditioning agents in the composition are distributed in the hair by means of these coacervates, the expansion of the coacervate region results in the release of more cationic conditioning agents for the hair. Accordingly, compositions are provided that clean and condition the hair from a single product, which has improved benefits of total conditioning and enhanced foam formation. The techniques of complex coacervate formation analysis are known in this field. For example, microscopic analysis of the shampoo compositions can be used at any chosen dilution step to identify whether a coacervate phase has been formed. This coacervate phase will be identifiable as an additional emulsified phase in the composition. The use of dyes can help distinguish the coacervate phase from other insoluble phases dispersed in the shampoo composition.

POLYVALENT METAL CATIONES The present invention comprises a polyvalent metal cation at a level from about 0.001M to about 0.5M, more preferably, from about 0.05M to about 0.3M. The polyvalent metal cations include divalent and trivalent metals, divalent metals are preferred. Exemplary metal cations include alkaline earth metals such as magnesium, calcium, zinc and copper and trivalent metals such as for example aluminum iron. Calcium and magnesium are preferred. The polyvalent metal cation can be added as an inorganic salt, organic salt or as a hydroxide. The polyvalent metal cation can also be added as a salt with anionic surfactant, which includes primary anionic surfactants as mentioned above, or detergent surfactants as mentioned below. Preferably, the polyvalent metal cation is introduced as an inorganic salt or organic salt. Inorganic salts include chloride, bromide, iodine, nitrate or sulfate, most preferably chloride or sulfate. Organic salts include L-glutamate, alato, succinate, acetate, fumarate, L-glutamic acid hydrochloride and tartarate.

It will be clear to those skilled in the art that, if polyvalent salts of the anionic surfactant are used as the way to introduce the polyvalent metal cations therein, only a fraction of the anionic surfactant can be polyvalent, the remainder of the anionic surfactant is added necessarily in monovalent form. The hardness of conditioning shampoo compositions can be measured by standard methods in the art, such as by titration of ethylene diamine t-acetic acid (EDTA). In the case that the composition contains dyes or other coloring materials that interfere with the ability of the EDTA titration to produce a perceptible color change, the hardness should be determined for the composition in the absence of the dye or color that interferes.

CATIONIC CONDITIONING AGENT The present invention comprises a cationic conditioning agent. Cationic conditioning agents are those which are capable of forming a coacervate in combination with the primary anionic surfactants mentioned above and polyvalent metal cations from the group consisting of cationic surfactants, cationic polymers and mixtures thereof.

Specific examples include polydimethylsiloxane, copolymer of poly (dimethylsiloxane methylavinyl si loxane), copolymer of poly (dimethylsiloxane (diphenylsiloxane methyldvinylsiloxane) and mixtures thereof.Silicone resins, which are siloxane systems, are also useful. Highly Crosslinked Polymeric Crosslinking 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 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 that have a sufficient level of monomeric units of trifunctional siloxane and tet rafunctional and, therefore, a sufficient level of crosslinking, so that they dry up To form a rigid or hard film, they 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 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 met-vinylchlorosilanes and tetrachlorosilane, where the methyl substituted silanes are the most commonly used. they use. Preferred resins are offered by General Electric as GE SS4230 and SS4267. Commercially available silicone resins, in general, will be supplied in a form dissolved in a volatile or non-volatile, low viscosity silicone fluid.

The silicone resins used herein should be supplied and incorporated into the compositions herein in dissolved form, as will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.

Without being limited by theory, it is considered that silicone resins can improve the deposition of other silicone compounds in 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 material to which the CTFA designation of polymethyl silsesquixan is given, which are commercially available as Tospearl ™ from Toshiba Silicones. The method of making these silicone compounds can be found in Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Engineering, Volume 15, second edition, pp 204-308, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1989, which is incorporated here as a reference in its entirety. Silicone materials and silicone resins, in particular, 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) 3SÍO) .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 prime signs in unit symbols for example, M ', 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 various units, either in terms of subscripts for the symbols that indicate the total number of each type of unit in the silicone or an average thereof, 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, T 'and / or Q1 with respect to D, D' M and / or M 'in a silicone resin are indicative of high levels of crosslinking. As discussed above, the general level of crosslinking can also be indicated by the oxygen to silicon ratio. The silicone resins that are used here and are preferred are MQ, MT, MTQ, MQ and MDTQ resins. 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.
