Description

    CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
  • This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/133,002, filed Jun. 25, 2008.
  • FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to a hair conditioning composition comprising: (a) a cationic surfactant; (b) a high melting point fatty compound; and (c) an aqueous carrier; wherein the cationic surfactant, the high melting point fatty compound, and the aqueous carrier form a gel matrix; wherein the composition has from about 90% to about 100% of a conversion rate of the high melting point fatty compound to the gel matrix; and wherein the composition has a yield point of about 33 Pa or more. The present invention also relates to a method of manufacturing of hair conditioning composition. The compositions of the present invention, and the compositions made by the method of the present invention, provide improved conditioning benefits, especially, improved wet conditioning benefits after rinsing and improved dry conditioning, while maintaining wet conditioning benefit before rinsing.
  • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • A variety of approaches have been developed to condition the hair. A common method of providing conditioning benefit is through the use of conditioning agents such as cationic surfactants and polymers, high melting point fatty compounds, low melting point oils, silicone compounds, and mixtures thereof. Most of these conditioning agents are known to provide various conditioning benefits. For example, some cationic surfactants, when used together with some high melting point fatty compounds and aqueous carrier, are believed to provide a gel matrix which is suitable for providing a variety of conditioning benefits such as slippery feel during the application to wet hair and softness and moisturized feel on dry hair.
  • For example, WO 2006/044209 discloses a hair conditioning composition comprising by weight: (a) from about 0.1% to about 10% of a cationic surfactant; (b) from about 2.5% to about 15% by weight of the composition of a high melting point fatty compound; and (c) and an aqueous carrier; wherein the cationic surfactant, the high melting point fatty compound, and the aqueous carrier form a lamellar gel matrix; wherein the d-spacing of the lamellar layers is in the range of 33 nm or less; and wherein the composition has a yield stress of about 30 Pa or more at 26.7° C. This hair conditioning compositions are said to provide improved conditioning benefits, especially improved slippery feel during the application to wet hair. WO 2006/044209 also describes that; preferably, the composition of the present invention comprises, by weight of the hair care composition, from about 60% to about 99% of a gel matrix including lamellar gel matrix. WO 2006/044209 also describes that; in highly preferred composition, the DSC profile shows a single peak having a peak top temperature of about 67° C. to about 73° C., at about 8 mJ/mg, and no peaks larger than 2 mJ/mg from 40° C. to about 65° C. as the peaks showing at a temperature of from 40° C. to 55° C. mean the existence of high melting fatty compounds and/or cationic surfactants which are not incorporated into the gel matrix.
  • However, there remains a need for hair conditioning compositions which provide improved conditioning benefits, especially, improved wet conditioning benefits after rinsing and improved dry conditioning, while maintaining wet conditioning benefit before rinsing. Such wet conditioning benefits after rinsing include, for example, reduced friction of wet hair after rinsing and/or easiness to comb wet hair after rinsing.
  • Additionally, there may exist a need for hair conditioning compositions which provide an improved product appearance, i.e., richer, thicker, and/or more concentrated product appearance, and which consumer may feel higher conditioning benefits from its appearance.
  • Based on the foregoing, there remains a need for conditioning compositions which provide improved conditioning benefits, especially, improved wet conditioning benefits after rinsing and improved dry conditioning, while maintaining wet conditioning benefit before rinsing. Additionally, there may exist a need for conditioning compositions which provide an improved product appearance.
  • None of the existing art provides all of the advantages and benefits of the present invention.

  • For forming the composition of the present invention, it is preferred to prepare the composition by the method described below under the title “METHOD OF MANUFACTURING”. For forming the composition of the present invention, it is also preferred that the total amount of the cationic surfactant and the high melting point fatty compound is from about 7.0%, as described below under the title “METHOD OF MANUFACTURING”.
  • Gel Matrix
  • The composition of the present invention comprises a gel matrix including lamella gel matrix. The gel matrix comprises the cationic surfactant, the high melting point fatty compound, and an aqueous carrier. The gel matrix is suitable for providing various conditioning benefits, such as slippery feel during the application to wet hair and softness and moisturized feel on dry hair.
  • In view of providing improved wet conditioning benefits, the cationic surfactant and the high melting point fatty compound are contained at a level such that the weight ratio of the cationic surfactant to the high melting point fatty compound is in the range of, preferably from about 1:1 to about 1:10, more preferably from about 1:1 to about 1:4, still more preferably from about 1:2 to about 1:4.
  • Preferably, in view of stability of the gel matrix, the composition of the present invention is substantially free of anionic surfactants and anionic polymers. In the present invention, “the composition being substantially free of anionic surfactants and anionic polymers” means that: the composition is free of anionic surfactants and anionic polymers; or, if the composition contains anionic surfactants and anionic polymers, the level of such anionic surfactants and anionic polymers is very low. In the present invention, the total level of such anionic surfactants and anionic polymers, if included, 1% or less, preferably 0.5% or less, more preferably 0.1% or less by weight of the composition. Most preferably, the total level of such anionic surfactants and anionic polymers is 0% by weight of the composition.
  • Conversion Rate of High Melting Point Fatty Compound to Gel Matrix
  • The composition of the present invention has a conversion rate of the high melting point fatty compound to gel matrix, such rate being in the range of from about 90% to about 100%, preferably from about 95% to about 100%, more preferably above 99% (excluding 99%) to about 100%, in view of providing wet conditioning benefits before rinsing such as spreadability, and also providing wet conditioning benefits after rinsing_and improved dry conditioning benefits.
  • Such conversion rate is measured by the following equation:

  • Conversion rate (%)=[Delta H (J/g) of an endothermic peak having a peak top temperature of from about 67° C. to about 75° C./A total delta H (J/g) of all endothermic peaks]×100
  • Such delta H is detected by differential scanning calorimetry (hereinafter referred to as “DSC”) measurement of the composition. Thermal events obtained by DSC measurement describe chemical and physical changes of the scanned sample that involve an enthalpy change or energy gradient when the temperature of the sample is fluctuated. As such, the phase behavior and interaction among components of hair conditioning compositions of the present invention may be understood by their DSC curves. DSC measurement of compositions of the present invention is conducted by Seiko DSC 6000 instrument available from Seiko Instruments Inc. In a typical measurement procedure, a sample is prepared by sealing an appropriate amount of the composition into a container made for DSC measurement and sealed. The weight of the sample is recorded. A blank sample i.e.; an unsealed sample of the same container is also prepared. The sample and blank sample are placed inside the instrument, and run under a measurement condition of from about −50° C. to about 130° C. at a heating rate of from about 1° C./minute to about 10° C./minute. The area of the peaks as identified are calculated and divided by the weight of the sample to obtain the enthalpy change in mJ/mg. The position of the peaks is identified by the peak top position.
  • In the compositions of the present invention, the DSC curve shows a endothermic peak of, preferably larger than about 3 mJ/mg, more preferably from about 4 mJ/mg, still more preferably from about 5 mJ, and preferably to about 10 mJ/mg, and such peak having a peak top temperature of from about 67° C. to about 75° C. which indicates the existence of a gel matrix.
  • The DSC curve of the compositions of the present invention shows, preferably no peaks larger than 2.5 mJ/mg, more preferably no peaks larger than 2 mJ/mg, still more preferably no peaks larger than 1 mJ/mg, at a temperature of from 40° C. to 55° C., preferably from 40° C. to about 65° C., as the peaks having peak top temperatures at such temperature range mean the existence of high melting fatty compounds and/or cationic surfactants which are not incorporated into the gel matrix. It is believed that a composition formed predominantly with such a gel matrix shows a relatively stable phase behavior during the temperature range of from about 40° C. to about 55° C., preferably from 40° C. to about 65° C.
  • Yield Point
  • The composition of the present invention has a yield point of about 33 Pa or more preferably about 35 Pa or more, more preferably 40 Pa or more, in view of providing improved wet conditioning benefits after rinsing, and improved dry conditioning. The above yield point may be also preferred in view of providing richer, thicker, and/or more concentrated product appearance. Preferably, the yield point is up to about 80 Pa, more preferably up to about 75 Pa, still more preferably up to about 70 Pa, in view of spreadability and product appearance.
  • The yield point of the present invention is measured by dynamic oscillation stress sweep at 1 Hz frequency and 25° C., by means of a rheometer available from TA Instruments with a mode name of AR2000 using 40 mm diameter parallel type geometry having gap of 1000 μm.
  • Preferably, in view of spreadability, the composition of the present invention is substantially free of thickening polymers. In the present invention, “the composition being substantially free of thickening polymers” means that: the composition is free of thickening polymers; or, if the composition contains a thickening polymer, the level of such thickening polymer is very low. In the present invention, the level of such thickening polymers, if included, 1% or less, preferably 0.5% or less, more preferably 0.1% or less, still more preferably 0.06% by weight of the composition. Such thickening polymers include, for example, guar polymers including nonionic and cationic guar polymers, cellulose polymers including nonionic, cationic, and/or hydrophobically modified cellulose polymers such as cetyl hydroxyethylcellulose, other synthetic polymers including nonionic and cationic synthetic polymers such as polyquaternium-37.
  • D-Spacing
  • It has been surprisingly found by the inventors of the present invention that; compositions characterized by the combination of the above specific conversion rate and specific yield point provide improved wet performance, especially wet conditioning after rinsing, even if such compositions having a larger d-spacing than those of the compositions of WO 2006/044209. Such larger d-spacing herein means a d-spacing of above 33 nm (excluding 33 nm). D-spacing in the present invention means a distance between two lamellar bilayers plus the width of one lamellar bilayer, in lamellar gel matrix, as shown in FIG. 1. Thus, d-spacing is defined according to the following equation:

  • D-spacing=d water +d bilayer
  • D-spacing can be measured by using a High Flux Small Angle X-ray Scattering Instrument available from PANalytical with a tradename SAXSess, under the typical conditions of Small Angle X-Ray Scattering (SAXS) measurements in a q-range (q=4π/λ sin(θ) wherein λ is the wavelength and θ is half the scattering angel) of 0.06<q/nm−1<27 which corresponds to 0.085<2θ/degree<40. All data are transmission-calibrated by monitoring the attenuated primary beam intensity and normalizing it into unity, so that relative intensity for different samples can be obtained. The transmission-calibration allows us to make an accurate subtraction of water contribution from the net sample scattering. D-spacing is calculated according to the following equation (which is known as Bragg's equation):

  • nλ=2d sin(θ), wherein n is the number of lamellar bi-layers
  • Cationic Surfactant
  • The compositions of the present invention comprise a cationic surfactant. The cationic surfactant can be included in the composition at a level from about 1%, preferably from about 1.5%, more preferably from about 1.8%, still more preferably from about 2.0%, and to about 8%, preferably to about 5%, more preferably to about 4% by weight of the composition, in view of providing the benefits of the present invention.
  • It is preferred in the present invention that, in view of improved wet conditioning benefits, the composition is substantially free of other cationic surfactants than those preferred in the present invention. Such “other cationic surfactant” includes, for example, tertiary amines, tertiary amine salts, and di-long alkyl cationic surfactants having two long alkyl chains, for example those having from about 12 to about 40 carbon atoms, such as dicetyl dimethyl ammonium chloride and distearyl dimethyl ammonium chloride. In the present invention, “the composition being substantially free of other cationic surfactants” means that: the composition is free of other cationic surfactants; or, if the composition contains other cationic surfactants, the level of such other cationic surfactants is very low. In the present invention, the level of such other cationic surfactants, if included, 1% or less, preferably 0.5% or less, more preferably 0.1% or less by weight of the composition. Most preferably, the level of such other cationic surfactants is 0% by weight of the composition.
  • Mono-Long Alkyl Quaternized Ammonium Salt Cationic Surfactant
  • One of the preferred cationic surfactants of the present invention is a salt of a mono-long alkyl quaternized ammonium and an anion, wherein the anion is selected from the group consisting of halides such as chloride and bromide, C1-C4 alkyl sulfate such as methosulfate and ethosulfate, and mixtures thereof. More preferably, the anion is selected from the group consisting of halides such as chloride and mixtures thereof.
  • The mono-long alkyl quaternized ammonium salts useful herein are those having the formula (I):
  • Figure US20090324530A1-20091231-C00001
  • wherein one of R71, R72, R73 and R74 is selected from an aliphatic group of from 12 to 40 carbon atoms or an aromatic, alkoxy, polyoxyalkylene, alkylamido, hydroxyalkyl, aryl or alkylaryl group having up to about 40 carbon atoms; the remainder of R71, R72, R73 and R74 are independently selected from an aliphatic group of from 1 to about 8 carbon atoms or an aromatic, alkoxy, polyoxyalkylene, alkylamido, hydroxyalkyl, aryl or alkylaryl group having up to about 8 carbon atoms; and X is a salt-forming anion selected from the group consisting of halides such as chloride and bromide, C1-C4 alkyl sulfate such as methosulfate and ethosulfate, and mixtures thereof. The aliphatic groups can contain, in addition to carbon and hydrogen atoms, ether linkages, and other groups such as amino groups. The longer chain aliphatic groups, e.g., those of about 16 carbons, or higher, can be saturated or unsaturated. Preferably, one of R71, R72, R73 and R74 is selected from an alkyl group of from 16 to 40 carbon atoms, more preferably from 18 to 26 carbon atoms, still more preferably from 22 carbon atoms; and the remainder of R71, R72, R73 and R74 are independently selected from CH3, C2H5, C2H4OH, CH2C6H5, and mixtures thereof. It is believed that such mono-long alkyl quaternized ammonium salts can provide improved slippery and slick feel on wet hair, compared to multi-long alkyl quaternized ammonium salts. It is also believed that mono-long alkyl quaternized ammonium salts can provide improved hydrophobicity and smooth feel on dry hair, compared to amine or amine salt cationic surfactants.
  • Among them, more preferred cationic surfactants are those having a longer alkyl group, i.e., C18-22 alkyl group. Such cationic surfactants include, for example, behenyl trimethyl ammonium chloride, methyl sulfate or ethyl sulfate, and stearyl trimethyl ammonium chloride, methyl sulfate or ethyl sulfate. Further preferred are behenyl trimethyl ammonium chloride, methyl sulfate or ethyl sulfate, and still further preferred is behenyl trimethyl ammonium chloride. It is believed that; cationic surfactants having a longer alkyl group provide improved deposition on the hair, thus can provide improved conditioning benefits such as improved softness on dry hair, compared to cationic surfactant having a shorter alkyl group. It is also believed that such cationic surfactants can provide reduced irritation, compared to cationic surfactants having a shorter alkyl group.
  • High Melting Point Fatty Compound
  • The high melting point fatty compound can be included in the composition at a level of from about 2%, preferably from about 4%, more preferably from about 5%, still more preferably from about 5.5%, and to about 15%, preferably to about 10% by weight of the composition, in view of providing the benefits of the present invention.

When used as such blend or mixture, the above melting point means the melting point of the blend or mixture.
  • The high melting point fatty compound useful herein is selected from the group consisting of fatty alcohols, fatty acids, fatty alcohol derivatives, fatty acid derivatives, and mixtures thereof. It is understood by the artisan that the compounds disclosed in this section of the specification can in some instances fall into more than one classification, e.g., some fatty alcohol derivatives can also be classified as fatty acid derivatives. However, a given classification is not intended to be a limitation on that particular compound, but is done so for convenience of classification and nomenclature. Further, it is understood by the artisan that, depending on the number and position of double bonds, and length and position of the branches, certain compounds having certain required carbon atoms may have a melting point of less than the above preferred in the present invention. Such compounds of low melting point are not intended to be included in this section.
