Description

DESCRIPTION
CLEANSING COMPOSITION
[0001]
[Technical Field of Invention]
The present invention relates to a cleansing composition.
[0002]
[Technical Background]
A composition for cleansing hair, in particular human hair, which comprises surfactants as an active ingredient is widely known . Such a composition commonly comprises one or more surfactants selected from conventional surfactants especially of the anionic, nonionic and/or amphoteric type, but more particularly of the anionic type. A composition for cleansing hair is applied to wet hair and the foam generated by massaging or rubbing with the hands allows, after rinsing with water, the removal of the various types of dirt initially' present on the hair .
[0003]
Conventionally, Sodium Laureth Ether Sulfate (SLES) has been used as a surfactant in a hair cleansing composition such as a shampoo. It is known that SLES exhibits good detergent properties. However, SLES tends to make human hair and scalp rough because of its strong surface-active properties.
[0004]
JP-A-2008-214263 discloses a hair detergent composition comprising an alkyl ether sulfate, an acyl glutamate, an amphoteric surfactant, a nonionic surfactant, a cationic polymer, and a polyether-modified silicone, which can reduce irritation to the scalp. JP-A-2010-235522 discloses a hair detergent composition comprising an alkyl ether sulfate and an ether carboxylate-type anionic surfactant, which exhibits reduced irritating properties to the scalp. JP-A-2007-161597 and JP-A-2010-159234 disclose hair detergent compositions which do not comprise an alkyl sulfate or an alkyl ether sulfate. However, there are still needs for a hair cleansing composition which exhibits no or reduced irritation to the scalp in addition to sufficient cleansing ability.
[0005]
In addition, "downsizing of consumer products" is demanded particularly in the detergent market from an ecological point of view. Compact-sized products can save energy and a space. For instance, compact-sized products can save the energy for transporting the products from factories to stores and from stores to houses, and also save a space necessary for storing the products in warehouses, retail shops, and houses. Furthermore, compact-sized products can be handled easily even by handicapped or disabled consumers.
[0006]
Regarding downsizing of a hair cleansing composition, JP-A-H10 ( 1998 ) -182366 discloses a hair cleansing composition which comprises an anionic surfactant and a nonionic surfactant in a special ratio such that the surfactant concentration in a hair detergent composition can be increased, and which also exhibits good forming and cleansing properties. As a result, the amount of a composition to be used for cleansing the hair can be reduced. However, specific working examples disclosed in this document comprise sodium laureth ether sulfate or sodium lauryl sulfate.
[0007]
WO 2010/052147 A2 discloses a condensed shampoo composition comprising an alkali metal alkylether sulfate and a short chain diol. However, the main anionic surfactant contained in the composition is an alkali metal alkylether sulfate (such as SLES) . JP-A-H10 ( 1998 ) -53795 discloses a condensed hair cleansing composition comprising glycolic acid N-alkylamide sulfonic acid ester salt as a main surfactant. JP-A-2012-207019 discloses a condensed hair cleansing composition which comprises an anionic surfactant in combination with a cationic polymer. However, almost all of the working examples of hair cleansing composition specifically disclosed in that document comprise SLES. Formulation Example 2 disclosed in JP-A-2012-207019 comprises 90% lautheth-4 carboxylic acid (30.0% by weight ) , 30% imidazolium betaine (10% by weight), and 40% lauryl dimethylamino acetic acid betaine (30% by weight) as surfactants. However, the properties of these kinds of associations are not sufficient.
[0008]
[Problems to be Solved]
It is still desired to provide a cleansing composition, preferably a hair cleansing composition, which comprises no or limited amount of a strong surfactant such as sodium laureth ether sulfate (SLES) such that the hair cleansing composition is gentle on the hair and scalp as well as it has good foaming properties.
[0009]
[Means to Solve the Problems]
To solve the problem described above, the inventor of the present invention has studied extensively and unexpectedly found that the use of a combination of at least three kinds of anionic surfactants comprising (i) at least one acyl glutamic acid or its salt, (ii) at least one alkyl ether carboxylic acid or its salt, and (iii) at least one alkyl sulfosuccinic acid or its salt in combination with at least one amphoteric surfactant and at least one nonionic surfactant can impart good foam-producing properties to a cleansing composition, and the resulting composition is also gentle to the hair and scalp.
[0010]
If necessary, it is possible to incorporate a strong anionic surfactant such as an alkyl ether sulfate or an alkyl sulfate into the cleansing composition of the present invention in addition to the aforementioned combination of surfactants so far as the desired properties of the cleansing composition of the present invention can be maintained. It is preferable that the cleansing composition of the present invention does not comprise any alkyl ether sulfates such as SLES. Therefore, the most preferable embodiment of the cleansing composition of the present invention does not comprise an alkyl ether sulfate such as SLES or an alkyl sulfate such as sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) . In other words, the most preferable cleansing composition of the present invention is a SLES or SLS-free hair cleansing composition. "SLES or SLS-free" means that the content of alkyl ether sulfate (s) and alkyl sulfate (s) in the composition is less than 1% by weight, preferably less than 0.1% by weight.
[0011]
Furthermore, we have also found that a concentration of the surfactants contained in the hair cleansing composition of the present invention can be increased compared to that of a conventional hair cleansing composition comprising SLES or SLS such as a shampoo to provide a condensed composition which still has good stability. Therefore, the present invention is also useful in producing products in the form of a condensed cleansing composition to save energy for transportation and a space for storage of the products.
[0012]
That is, the composition of the present invention comprises, (A) anionic surfactants, (B) at least one amphoteric surfactant, and (C) at least one nonionic surfactant, where the anionic surfactants comprise (i) at least one acyl glutamic acid or its salt, (ii) at least one alkyl ether carboxylic acid or its salt, and (iii) at least one alkyl sulfosuccic acid or its salt. The composition preferably does not comprise any alkyl sulfates such as SLS and/or alkyl ether sulfates such as SLES. Preferably the composition is a hair cleansing composition.
[0013]
A technical feature of the present invention may be in using the aforementioned combination of three kinds of anionic surfactants. The amphoteric surfactant used as component (B) is not particularly limited. For example, an alkyl betaine and/or an alkyl amidopropyl betaine may preferably be used as component (B) to achieve the desired effects of the present invention .
[0014]
The nonionic surfactant . used as component (C) in the present invention is not particularly limited. For example, an alkylpolyglucoside may preferably be used as component (C) to achieve the desired effects of the present invention.
[0015]
The aforementioned cleansing composition of the present invention may further comprise at least one silicone and particularly at least one poly (oxyalkylene ) -modified dimethicone. The use of this compound can improve the conditioning effects. As the polyether-modified dimethicone, poly (oxyethylene) (oxypropylene) ether-modified dimethicone is preferably used to improve the conditioning effects on the hair. In particular, in the present invention, the use of
poly (oxyethylene) (oxypropylene) ether-modified dimethicone represented by the following formula:
Figure imgf000006_0001
wherein x represents an integer of from 1 to 100; y represents an integer of from 1 to 100; m represents an integer of from 10 to 20; and n represents an integer of from 1 to 20; is preferable to improve the conditioning effects.
[0016]
Furthermore, it is preferable to incorporate at least one cationic polymer, most preferably a
poly (diallyldimethylammonium chloride ) , which is commercially available as Polyquaternium-6, to a cleansing composition of the present invention to improve the conditioning effects. A cationic polymer, particularly poly (diallyldimethylammonium chloride) may be used with or without the aforementioned silicone, particularly
poly (oxyethylene) (oxypropylene) ether-modified dimethicone.
[0017]
The total amount of the surfactants is not particularly limited. For example, it may be from 10% to 50%, preferably from 15% to 40%, and more preferably from 20% to 35% relative to the total weight of the composition of the present invention.
[0018]
The pH value of the cleansing composition of the present invention may be adjusted to from 4.0 to 7.0, preferably from 4.5 to 6.0 and more preferably from 5.0 to 5.6.
[0019]
The viscosity of the cleansing composition of the present invention is not particularly limited. If necessary, a skilled person in the art may be able to adjust the viscosity of the cleansing composition to a desired degree, for instance with a thickening agent which is commonly used in the art. It is preferable to adjust a viscosity of the cleansing composition to 50 to 150 mPa.s at 25 °C to provide the cleansing composition with good usability. The aforementioned viscosity is a value which is measured after a rotation for 60 seconds by using Brookfield Viscometer with Rotor No.2 at 25°C.
[0020]
As described above, the combination of components (A) to (C) can provide a cleansing composition which has good foam-forming properties and exhibits excellent cleansing effects. In addition, the cleansing composition of the present invention is useful to downsize the products for saving energy for transportation and a space for storage.
[0021]
