  • the higher alkyl portion is preferably lauryl or myristyl or mixtures of higher alkyls, preferably straight chained 'or fatty alkyls which average about 12 to 14 carbon atoms per group.
  • various mixtures of such alkyls substantially all of which are within the carbon content range of 8 to 18, are useful, those which are either pure lauryl or myristyl or which are mixtures of alkyls corresponding to the higher fatty alcohols derivable from natural oils, such as coconut oil, are preferred.
  • the alkyl mixture derived from coconut oil is designated as cocyl herein and contains about 8% C 7% C 48% C 18% C14, 9% C and 10% C Generally, such alkyls will have an even number of carbon atoms and will be terminally joined to the sulfate portion of the molecule but groups of odd number of carbon atoms may also be used. Also, a proportion of the higher alkyl content may be non-terminally sulfated but usually this is only a minor proportion, preferably less than 10%.
  • the salt-forming portions of the higher alkyl sulfates may be any of the various suitable bases generally employed to make such detergents that are used in shampoos.
  • sodium, potassium. magnesium and ammonium ions have been so utilized, the most highlv preferred compounds, which exhibit a surprisingly effective foamand lather-enhancing activity, in addition to increasing viscosity and improving conditioning properties.

  • the trialkanolamines are considered far superior, having exceptionally good improving eifects on the shampoos with respect to the properties previously mentioned.
  • the lower alkanolamines in which the alkyl is of l to 4 carbon atoms, are useful in the practice of this invention and the most preferred are those of 2 to 3 carbon atoms, e.g., ethyl, propyl and isopropyl.
  • Exemplary of the best higher fatty alcohol sulfates for the practice of this invention are triethanolamine lauryl sulfate; triisopropanolamine lauryl sulfate; triethanolamine myristyl sulfate; triethanolamine higher fatty cocyl (cocyl being a mixture of higher alkyls obtainable from coconut oil) sulfate; tri-isopropanolamine cocyl sulfate; and triethanolamine mixed lauryl-myristyl sulfate.

  • these compounds are such as magnesium lauryl sulfate, ammonium lauryl sulfate, sodium cocyl sulfate and potassium cocyl sulfate.
  • the substituted imidazolines which coact with the alcohol sulfates to produce improved shampoo compositions are those in which substitution is by a hydroxy-lower alkyl group and a higher alkyl, which substituents are on a nitrogen and a carbon of the imidazoline.
  • the particular substituted imidazolines which have been found to produce greatly improved foaming, lathering, thickening and conditioning properties are those wherein substitutions are at adjoining ring atoms, particularly the 1- and 2- atoms.
  • l-hydroxy-lower alkyl, Z-higher alkyl imidazolines produce the effects mentioned.
  • the substituted imidazolines form salts, they will be discussed herein as if this is not the case, especially because the present compounds are employed primarily in basic solutions and salt formation usually occurs principally by reaction with acidic compounds, such as hydrochloric acid.
  • acidic compounds such as hydrochloric acid.
  • many of the imidazoline salts, such as those formed with higher fatty acids, alkyl aryl sulfonic acids or similar surface active or detergent acids are often water insoluble and would not be useful to make improved shampoo compositions such as those of the present invention.
  • the free base form of the substituted imidazoline may also normally be considered to be insoluble in water, it has been found that it is sufficiently soluble in aqueous detergent solutions, such as the alcohol sulfates previously mentioned, to be useful in shampoos and to improve their properties in the ways mentioned. Solubilities of these compounds in such solutions are increased by having the free hydroxyl group on the lower alkyl in the 1-position and having the carbon atom content of the alkyl substituent in the 2-position sufiiciently low to produce satisfactory solubility.
  • the hydroxyalkyl substituent on the l-nitrogen of the ring is a hydroxy-lower alkyl, usually of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, preferably of 1 to 4 carbon atoms and most preferably of 2 to 3 carbon atoms, e.g., hydroxyethyl.
  • the hydroxyl group it is preferred for the hydroxyl group to be terminally located on the alkyl substituent, as far away from the nitrogen as possible, in some cases intermediate positions will also be active.
  • straight chain alkyl groups are also most useful, in some cases branched chain hydroxyalkyl groups may comprise a part or all of the substituent on the l-nitrogen.
  • the alkyl substituent at the 2-position is a higher alkyl of 7 to 17 carbon atoms, which is preferably a normal alkyl and which is terminally joined to the 2-carbon. In some cases branching and non-terminal joinders may be useful. For best water solubility, the carbon content and chain length of the higher alkyl substituent may be comparatively low. Thus, it is preferred to employ such higher alkyl groups containing from 7 to 13 carbon atoms, if pure materials are used, with the 11 carbon atom alkyl being the best.
  • mixtures may be employed, including those obtained from fatty acids derived from natural oils, such as coconut oil. These acids generally have most of the acyl groups of from 8 to 18 or 10 to 16 carbon atoms, with the constituents in larger proportions being those of 12 to 14 carbon atoms. It will be noted that the fatty acids used to make the substituted imidazolines, as by reaction with an N-substituted ethylene diamine, are of one carbon atom more than the alkyl substituents on the imidazoline. See p. 142 of the text Surface Active Agents and Detergents, vol. II (1958), by Schwartz, Perry and Berch.
  • the best materials are those which are inorganic and which comprise salts of strong acids and bases, such as those of sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid or equivalent or similar acids and sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, or similar bases.
  • the chlorides are preferred, especially the alkali metal chlorides, e.g., sodium chloride, potassium chloride.
  • the presence of small proportions of such materials increases the viscosities of alcohol sulfatesubstituted imidazoline shampoos or allow a reduction in the content of substituted imidazoline, with the obtaining of a similar viscosity despite omission of some of the active ingredient.
  • the solvent medium employed may be water, preferably deionized water or water low in hardness ions, e.g., containing less than 50 parts per million of such ions, calculated as calcium carbonate.
  • active and adjuvant materials e.g., perfumes, viscosity modifiers, coloring agents
  • organic solvents such as alcohols, preferably the lower monohydric alcohols of 2 to 4 carbon atoms, e.g., ethanol, may be employed and it will sometimes be desirable also to use dihydric and trihydric alcohols of 2 to 6 carbon atoms, e.g., ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerol, diethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol.
  • Other known solvents which are useful in shampoo compositions may be included, providing that they have no unacceptable adverse etfects on the final products of this invention.
  • Most shampoos contain minor proportions of adjuvants to modify their properties and to improve acceptance by the consumer.
  • the present shampoos are of desirable cleaning, foaming, lathering and conditioning properties and therefore do not require additives to produce these characteristics, they may still be benefited by the use of certain compatible adjuvants for other purposes and, in some cases, the product may even be improved by suplemental effects of adjuvants to modify the properties of the lather and further to condition the hair.
  • coloring agents including water soluble dyes and water dispersible pigments, ultraviolet-absorbing chemicals; fluorescent dyes; perfumes, preservatives; hydrolyzed animal protein conditioning agents; pH-adjusting materials, e.g., sodium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, buffers; lather and foam modifiers, e.g., dimethyl lauryl amine oxide; hair conditioners, e.g., lauric myristic diethanolamide, free oils, monoglycerides; detergents, e.g., nonionic detergents such as the block copolymers of ethylene and propylene oxides (Pluronics); bactericides; fungicides; bleaches; and sequestering agents, e.g., sodium salts of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid and alkali metal salts of nitrilotriacetic acid.

  • the pH of the invented aqueous shampos will usually be slightly alkaline. It has been found that acidic pHs favor an interaction between the alcohol sulfate detergent constituent and the substituted imidazolines. Thus, pHs will be at least 7 but, to prevent irritation of the scalp, will be held to less than 11. Generally, the pH will be from 7.5 to 9.5, preferably from 7.6 to 8.4 and most preferably will be about 8. The pHs of water dispersions of the various substituted imidazolines are usually over 11, making them generally unacceptable as shampoo constituents unless the pH is lowered.
  • trialkanolamine higher alkyl sulfate has the desirable effect of moderating the pH of the substituted imidazoline and the alcohol'sulfate additionally aids in solubilizing the imidazoline. Furthermore, the desirable hair conditioning, foaming, lathering and thickening properties of the described compositions are evidenced I at the mentioned pHs.
  • pH adjustment may be effected by using the desired proportions of trialkanolamine alkyl sulfate and substituted imidazoline, as will be described hereafter, or acids, bases or buffering agents may be utilized, for such purpose.

In such proportions they can be satisfactorily solubilized and will have their desired thickening, foaming, lathering and conditioning effects on the alcohol sulfate shampoos. Normally, the contents of the mentioned substituted imidazolines will be less than half of the proportions of the higher alcohol sulfate constituents present.
