  • The process of making the rheology modifier/hair styling resin of the present invention is suitably carried out in a non-polar solvent, e.g. heptane, benzene, isopropyl acetate or cyclohexane, which can be removed easily after the polymerization, in the presence of a free radical initiator, at a polymerization temperature of 40°-150° C., preferably 55°-100° C., at monomer feeding times in 2 feeding lines of 0-10 hrs, preferably 3-5 hrs. The reactants are monomers and crosslinker. The product is a crosslinked, linear copolymer of a vinyl amide, e.g. vinyl pyrrolidone, and a polymerizable carboxylic acid, e.g. acrylic acid, which is crosslinked with a suitable crosslinking agent e.g. pentaerythritol triallyl ether in the form of a powder.

The solvent then was heated to 65° C. with an oil bath and held there for 30 minutes. Feeding Solution I was prepared by mixing 50 g of N-vinylpyrrolidone (VP) and 1.0 g of pentaerythritol triallylether (PETE). Feeding Solution II was prepared by weighing 50 g of acrylic acid (AA) into a bottle. 200 microliter of Luperox® 11M75 as initiator was charged into the kettle. Then Feeding Solutions I and II were simultaneously pumped into the kettle over a period of 4 hours at a constant feeding rate. The resulting solution then was held at 65° C. for 1 hour and the reaction temperature was raised to 90° C. Then an additional 100 microliter of Luperox® 11M75 was added every two hours for 4 times and the reactor was held at 90° C. for two additional hours after the last dose of Luperox® 11M75 was charged.

  • Into a 1-liter, four-necked glass kettle, equipped with two feeding pumps, an anchor agitator, a thermocouple and a condenser, 600 g of heptane as solvent is charged and agitated at 300 rpm while being purged with nitrogen throughout the process. The solvent then is heated to 70° C. with an oil bath and held there for 30 minutes. Feeding Solution I is prepared by mixing 50 g of
  • N-vinylpyrrolidone (VP) and 1.0 g of pentaerythritol triallylether (PETE). Feeding solution II is prepared by weighing 50 g of methacrylic acid (MAA) into a bottle. Then 300 microliter of t-butyl peroxypivalate initiator is charged into the kettle.
  • The Feeding Solution I and Feeding Solution II are simultaneously pumped into the kettle over 5 hours at a constant feeding rate. The solution is held at 70° C. for 1 hour and the solution is transferred to stainless high pressure reactor. Then an additional 0.5 g of di-t-butylperoxide is added. The temperature of the reactor is raised to 130° C. and held for 10 hours. The contents then are cooled and discharged. The solvent is removed at an oven temperature of 100° C. The resultant resin powder is further dried in a vacuum oven at 100° C. The product is a crosslinked, linear copolymer of VP and MAA crosslinked with PETE in a wt. ratio of 50/50/1.

    Procedure: 1) Charge 93.51 parts of DI water into a suitable vessel; 2) Add 0.05 parts of pre-neutralizer 2-amino-2-methylpropanol (AMP); 3) Start agitation at medium speed; 4) Slowly sprinkle in 1.0 parts of the polymer powder. Alternatively the powder can be “dumped” it will eventually disperse throughout on its own; 5) Allow to mix for 30-60 minutes, at medium-low speed, to ensure complete dispersion, if white particles are present, continue mixing until particles have disappeared. The mix time should be doubled is the polymer was “dumped;” 6) Pre-mix 0.44 parts of neutralizer AMP with 5 parts of DI water, and add to the main batch; 7) Lower the RPM's to avoid excessive aeration; 8) Mix for 30-60 minutes to ensure uniform gel; 9) Product should appear as clear gel, pH 6.7, and viscosity RV TC @ 10 rpm 50,000 cPs.

  • The compositions according to the invention can be detergent compositions such as shampoos, bath gels, and bubble baths. In this mode, the compositions will comprise a generally aqueous washing base. The surfactant or surfactants that form the washing base may be chosen alone or in blends, from known anionic, amphoteric, or non-ionic surfactants. The quantity and quality of the washing base must be sufficient to impart a satisfactory foaming and/or detergent value to the final composition. The washing base can be from 4% to 50% by weight, preferably from 6% to 35% by weight, and even more preferentially from 8% to 25% by weight of the total weight of the final composition.
  • The pH of the composition applied to the keratinous material is generally between 2 and 12. It is preferably between 3 and 8, and may be adjusted to the desired value by means of acidifying or alkalinizing agents that are well-known in the state of the art in compositions applied to keratinous materials. Thus, the composition of the invention can contain at least one alkalizing or acidifying agent in amounts from 0.01 to 30 wt % of the total weight of the composition.
  • The alkalizing agent can be chosen from ammonia, alkali carbonates, alkanolamines, like mono-, di- and triethanolamines, as well as their derivatives, hydroxyalkylamines and ethoxylated and/or propoxylated ethylenediamines, sodium or potassium hydroxides and compounds of the following formula (XIX):

However, the compositions of the invention can be anhydrous.
  • Generally the present cosmetic compositions are prepared by simple mixing procedures well known in the art.
  • The invention also has as its object a process for treating keratinous material including the skin or hair, characterized in that it consists of applying to skin or keratinous materials a cosmetic composition as described above, and then eventually rinsing it with water. Accordingly, the process according to the invention makes it possible to maintain the hairstyle, treatment, care, washing, or make-up removal of the skin, the hair, and any other keratinous material.
  • The compositions according to the invention may also take the form of after-shampoo compositions, to be rinsed off or not, for permanents, straightening, waving, dyeing, or bleaching, or the form of rinse compositions to be applied before or after dyeing, bleaching, permanents, straightening, relaxing, waving or even between the two stages of a permanent or straightening process.
  • The compositions of the invention may also take the form of skin-washing compositions, and particularly in the form of solutions or gels for the bath or shower, or of make-up removal products.
  • The compositions of the invention may also be in the form of aqueous or hydro-alcoholic solutions for skin and/or hair care.
  • The compositions of this invention have demonstrated thermal protection from heat styling tools, more specifically curling or straightening irons. In this application, the cationic polymer provides a continuous film on hair that does not degrade nor whiten upon regular exposure to curling irons at temperatures up to 152° C. Protection is observed via tryptophan measurements and perceived by consumer in combing force reduction.
  • The compositions described herein are useful in products for personal care, including, but mot limited to, gels, lotions, glazes, glues, mousses, sprays, fixatives, shampoos, conditioners, 2n1 shampoos, temporary hair dyes, semi-permanent hair dyes, permanent hair dyes, straighteners, permanent waves, relaxers, creams, putties, waxes, pomades, moisturizers, mascaras, lip balms and foam enhancers.
  • While the invention has been described with particular reference to certain embodiments thereof, it will be understood that changes and modifications may be made which are within the skill of the art. Accordingly, it is intended to be bound only by the following claims.
