Abstract

The present invention relates to an aqueous cosmetic powder composition especially designed for styling hair comprising water, hydrophobic colloidal silica and a water soluble non-ionic polyol having at least three hydroxyl groups and is solid at ambient temperature.

Description

The present invention relates to an aqueous cosmetic powder composition especially designed for styling hair comprising water, hydrophobic silica and a water soluble non-ionic polyol having at least three hydroxyl groups and is solid at 25° C.
Aqueous powdered hair cosmetic compositions applied onto hair for styling have been known for some time. They have excellent hair styling and setting effects, however they are difficult to remove from hair simply by shampooing hair because of hydrophobic nature of the powder which affects considerably the touch feel of the hair and the performances of the subsequently used products and aggravates in cases where the chemical reaction has to take place in order to alter and/or give hair improved cosmetic properties.
WO 01/37800 discloses powdered aqueous compositions for skin conditioning which may comprise highly water soluble polymers. DE 10 2008 057 261 A1 discloses powdered aqueous compositions comprising film forming and/or setting polymers in the aqueous phase. None of these documents disclose a composition comprising a polyol as required in the compositions of present invention. It has been observed that removability of these powder compositions from hair is not easy and mostly they may not be removed from hair with washing hair with a conventional shampoo composition.
The aim of the present invention has been to provide aqueous cosmetic powder composition for hair which provides effective hair styling and setting but at the same time may easily be removed from hair by simple subsequent washing hair with a conventional shampoo composition.
After a long search, the present inventors have found out that powder cosmetic composition comprising hydrophobic colloidal silica, water and a water soluble non-ionic polyol having at least three hydroxyl groups and is solid at ambient temperature has good setting and styling effects on the hair and may also be washed out easily by a conventional shampoo composition.
Accordingly the first object of the present invention is an aqueous cosmetic powder composition comprising water, hydrophobic colloidal silica and a water soluble non-ionic polyol having at least three hydroxyl groups and solid at ambient temperature, 25° C.
The second object of the present invention is the use of the composition for setting and/or styling hair.
The third object is the process for styling and/or setting hair wherein the composition of the present invention is applied onto dry hair.
The fourth object is a kit for hair comprising the composition of the present invention.
The fifth object is a process for producing the composition of the present invention wherein the water soluble polyol with at least three hydroxyl groups and solid at 25° C. is dissolved in water and hydrophobic colloidal silica is added to the composition and the mixture is mixed at high shear rate at ambient temperature.
In the above mentioned process, in case other powder ingredients are present they are simply added to the composition after producing the powder aqueous composition.
The powder composition of the present invention comprises water less than 80% by weight, preferably in the range of 25 to 75% by weight, more preferably 30 to 65% by weight and most preferably 40 to 60% by weight, all values are calculated to the total composition.
Hydrophobic colloidal silica is comprised in the compositions at a concentration up to 25% by weight, preferably 1 to 20% by weight, more preferably 2 to 15% and most preferably 3 to 15% by weight, all values are calculated to the total composition. The hydrophobic colloidal silica suitable for the purpose of the present invention has the BET surface area in the range of 190 and 250 m2/g and has a tamped density in the range of 55 to 65 g/l according to DIN EN ISO 787/11, Aug. 1983.

The compositions may also comprise one or more film forming and/or setting polymers. Suitable ones are those known anionic, non-ionic, cationic and amphoteric polymers. Concentration of one or more such polymers may be in the range of 0.1 to 10% by weight, preferably in the range of 0.5 to 7.5% by weight, more preferably 1 to 5% and most preferably 1 to 3.5% by weight, all values are calculated to the total composition.
