Definitions

  • the present disclosure generally relates to a conditioning composition that is free of talc and includes tapioca starch, optionally potato starch, optionally corn starch, at least one anionic surfactant, and optionally at least one amphoteric surfactant.
  • Unit dose products have been accepted in the laundry and dishwashing fields because these products have advantages of being convenient, easy to dispense, and provide the opportunity to customize each wash for the benefits the consumer is seeking. Similar advantages are desired by consumers in the personal care space.
  • cosmetic articles intended to be used once to cleanse the skin or hair are well known for their practical benefits.
  • Disposable wipes impregnated with a liquid cosmetic formulation are suitable for single use but requires disposal of the nonwoven sheet. Travel sized and single use toiletries are available but demand the use of more packaging and are not environmentally friendly.
  • Single use bar soaps and other forms of single use soap exist but utilize raw materials that consumers do not want in their products such as talc.
  • silicones such as cyclomethicones, dimethicones, amino silicones are used as the primary conditioners in combination with or without quaternary ammonium compounds.
  • Formulation with silicones D4, D5 and D6 have recently been reduced in hair conditioners.
  • Emulsification of silicones systems require emulsifier/surfactant and a heating temperature of about 70-80° C. for at least 30-60 minutes along with cooling. Accelerated or thermodynamic aging of raw materials in the product is not avoided.
  • such formulations tend to lack production efficiency and down time.
  • Loose anhydrous powder such as that disclosed in WO 2019/001940, does not solve the problems of single use, customization, or remaining free from talc.
  • Foaming conditioning powders on the market are also loose powders, which are messy and difficult for consumers to dose. Still other products crumble during shipping thereby forming a coarse and gritty texture that is not commercially desirable.
  • these types of compositions use propylene glycol and not water thus reducing commercial desire among consumers and also tend to have a rough hand feel.
  • This disclosure provides an encapsulated conditioning composition that is free of talc and includes a core particle that is a powder.
  • the core particle includes tapioca starch, optionally potato starch, optionally corn starch, at least one anionic surfactant, and optionally at least one amphoteric surfactant.
  • the encapsulated conditioning composition also includes a coating disposed about at least a portion of the core particle and comprising a compound chosen from cellulose polymers, anionic or cationic polymers, vinyl polymers, natural polymers, polysaccharides, copolymers thereof, and combinations thereof
  • the encapsulated conditioning composition includes from about 0 to about 25 percent by weight of liquid, has a pH of from about 3.5 to about 5 when mixed with water at about 10 wt % and produces a flash foam of less than about 10 ml when contacted with water at a temperature of about 26 to about 30° C.
  • non-encapsulated conditioning composition that is a powder, is free of talc, and includes: tapioca starch, optionally potato starch, optionally corn starch, at least one anionic surfactant, and optionally at least one amphoteric surfactant.
  • the non-encapsulated conditioning composition includes from about 0 to about 18 percent by weight of liquid, has a pH of from about 3.5 to about 5 when mixed with water at about 10 wt % and produces a flash foam of less than about 10 ml when contacted with water at a temperature of about 26 to about 30° C.
  • This disclosure even further provides a conditioning composition that can be encapsulated or non-encapsulated and may or may not include a coating disposed thereon.
  • This conditioning composition is free of talc and includes a powder including tapioca starch present in an amount of from about 60 to about 65 weight percent based on a total weight of the powder, potato starch present in an amount of from about 3 to about 5 weight percent based on a total weight of the powder, corn starch present in an amount of from about 4 to about 6 weight percent based on a total weight of the powder, at least one anionic surfactant that is a glutamate and that is present in an amount of from about 2 to about 4 weight percent based on a total weight of the powder, and at least one amphoteric surfactant that is a betaine and that is present in an amount of from about 3 to about 5 weight percent based on a total weight of the powder.
  • the powder includes from about 0 to about 5 percent by weight of liquid, has a pH of from about 3.80 to about 4.80 when mixed with water at about 10 wt % and has a viscosity when dissolved as 10 wt % in about 100 mL water of from about 12,000 to about 20,000 cps as determined using a Brookfield Gel Timer DV2T Viscometer, RV, Spindle #6, at about 6 rpm for about 60 seconds at about 28° C. Moreover, the powder produces a flash foam of less than about 10 ml when contacted with water at a temperature of about 26 to about 30° C.
  • This composition is surprisingly advantageous as it readily disintegrates and provides little to no flash foam which can be then used to condition the skin and hair.
  • the conditioning composition is also gentle, mild and moisturizing to the skin.
  • the composition is free from talc.
  • Talc is used in powder formulations to contribute slip and a silky skin feel.
  • the tapioca starch in optional combination with the other starches, surprisingly provides the desired skin feel without the need for talc.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an encapsulated conditioning composition including a core particle in the form of a tablet and also including the coating disposed about at least a portion of the core particle.
  • FIG. 2 is a top view of the encapsulated conditioning composition of FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 3 is a partially cut-away view of the encapsulated conditioning composition of FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of an encapsulated conditioning composition including the core particle in the form of a capsule and also including the coating disposed about at least a portion of the core particle.
  • FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of an encapsulated conditioning composition including the core particle in the form of a capsule and including the coating disposed about at least a portion of a portion of the core particle.

  • FIG. 7 is a photograph that shows an embodiment of the composition that has a powder:water weight ratio of about 1:2.
  • FIG. 8 is a photograph that shows an embodiment of the composition that has a powder:water weight ratio of about 1:1.
  • FIG. 9 is a scanning electron microscope image of tapioca starch particles that are rounded small particles that provide closing packing and rigidity to structure of the coating composition.
  • FIG. 10 is a scanning electron microscope image of corn starch particles that are small and have irregular shape.
  • FIG. 11 is a scanning electron microscope image of potato starch particles that are large round particles that provide soft hand feel and rapid dissolution to the composition.
  • FIG. 12 is a scanning electron microscope image of cubic shaped core particles that include a combination of large and small particle starches that provide close packing, giving rigidity and strength to the core particle while maintaining rapid dissolution and soft hand feel.
  • FIG. 13 is a photograph of Composition 6 of the Examples showing agglomeration or clumping after storage at about 60-65% relative humidity after about 15 days at ambient temperature.
  • FIG. 14 is a photograph of Composition 11 of the Examples showing agglomeration or clumping after storage at about 60-65% relative humidity after about 15 days at ambient temperature.
