concentrated liquid cleansing compositions even in the presence of
cationic polymers which typically raise liquid viscosity. Cationic
polymers suitable for use include those having a weight average
molecular weight less than about 1,000,000 g/mol.
[0005] Additionally, the hair care composition may further comprise
one of more benefit agent including, but not limited to, silicone
materials to enhance the consumer desirable wet and dry
conditioning feel. Suitable silicone materials include those

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0014] While the specification concludes with claims particularly
pointing out and distinctly claiming the invention, it is believed
that the present invention will be better understood from the
following description.
[0015] As used herein, the term "fluid" includes liquids and
gels.
[0016] As used herein, the articles including "a" and "an" when
used in a claim, are understood to mean one or more of what is
claimed or described.
[0017] As used herein, "comprising" means that other steps and
other ingredients which do not affect the end result can be added.
This term encompasses the terms "consisting of" and "consisting
essentially of".
[0018] As used herein, "mixtures" is meant to include a simple
combination of materials and any compounds that may result from
their combination.
[0019] As used herein, "molecular weight" or "Molecular weight"
refers to the weight average molecular weight unless otherwise
stated. Molecular weight is measured using industry standard
method, gel permeation chromatography ("GPC").
[0020] As used herein, "personal care compositions" includes
products such as shampoos, shower gels, liquid hand cleansers, hair
colorants, facial cleansers, and other surfactant-based liquid
compositions As used herein, the terms "include," "includes," and
"including," are meant to be non-limiting and are understood to
mean "comprise," "comprises," and "comprising," respectively.
[0021] All percentages, parts and ratios are based upon the total
weight of the compositions of the present invention, unless
otherwise specified. All such weights as they pertain to listed
ingredients are based on the active level and, therefore, do not
include carriers or by-products that may be included in
commercially available materials.
[0022] Unless otherwise noted, all component or composition levels
are in reference to the active portion of that component or
composition, and are exclusive of impurities, for example, residual
solvents or by-products, which may be present in commercially
available sources of such components or compositions.
[0023] It should be understood that every maximum numerical
limitation given throughout this specification includes every lower
numerical limitation, as if such lower numerical limitations were
expressly written herein. Every minimum numerical limitation given
throughout this specification will include every higher numerical
limitation, as if such higher numerical limitations were expressly
written herein. Every numerical range given throughout this
specification will include every narrower numerical range that
falls within such broader numerical range, as if such narrower
numerical ranges were all expressly written herein.
[0024] Where amount ranges are given, these are to be understood as
being the total amount of said ingredient in the composition, or
where more than one species fall within the scope of the ingredient
definition, the total amount of all ingredients fitting that
definition, in the composition.
[0025] For example, if the composition comprises from 1% to 5%
fatty alcohol, then a composition comprising 2% stearyl alcohol and
1% cetyl alcohol and no other fatty alcohol, would fall within this
scope.
[0026] The amount of each particular ingredient or mixtures thereof
described hereinafter can account for up to 100% (or 100%) of the
total amount of the ingredient(s) in the hair care composition.
Hair Care Composition
[0027] The hair care composition comprises i) above about 20% by
weight of a surfactant mixture of which at least 1% or more are
zwitterionic surfactants which possess a hydroxyl group along with
both positive and negative charges within the same molecule, ii)
viscosity reducing agents (at a concentration above about 4%) ii) a
cationic polymer and iv) may further comprise a silicone and
optional ingredients. The hair care composition can be delivered in
the form of a foam.
[0028] Delivery of cleansing composition in the form of foam
represents an attractive consumer concept. Having a low density
foam allows for a high concentration of surfactant to deliver
sufficient amount of detersive surfactant for each use. Typically,
high surfactant liquid cleansing composition exhibits high
viscosity, which makes it difficult to deliver with a typical pump
foam dispenser or a typical aerosol foam dispenser. Therefore,
delivery of a shampoo via foam requires very low viscosity
concentrated liquid cleansing compositions. The resulting
composition has a viscosity below about 3000 cps.
[0029] A. Detersive Surfactant
[0030] The hair care composition may comprise greater than about
20% by weight of a surfactant system which provides cleaning
performance to the composition. The surfactant system comprises an
anionic surfactant and/or a combination of anionic surfactants,
with a co-surfactant selected from the group consisting of
amphoteric, zwitterionic, nonionic and mixtures thereof. The
surfactant system may comprise at 1% or more of the surfactants are
zwitterionic surfactants which possess a hydroxyl group in their
molecular structure. Various examples and descriptions of detersive
surfactants are set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 8,440,605; U.S. Patent
Application Publication No. 2009/155383; and U.S. Patent
Application Publication No. 2009/0221463, which are incorporated
herein by reference in their entirety.
[0031] The hair care composition may comprise from about 10% to
about 40%, from about 15% to about 36%, from about 18% to about
32%, and/or from about 20% to about 28% by weight of one or more
anionic surfactants.
[0032] Suitable anionic detersive surfactant components for use in
the composition herein include those which are known for use in
hair care or other personal care shampoo compositions. The anionic
detersive surfactant may be a combination of sodium lauryl sulfate
and sodium laureth-n sulfate. Alternatively, the anionic detersive
surfactant can be sodium laureth sulfate with an average of one
mole ethoxylate. The concentration of the anionic surfactant
component in the composition should be sufficient to provide the
desired cleaning and lather performance
[0033] Anionic surfactants suitable for use herein include alkyl
sulfates and alkyl ether sulfates of the formula ROSO.sub.3M and
RO(C.sub.2H.sub.4O).sub.xSO.sub.3M, wherein R is alkyl or alkenyl

single membered galactose units on alternative mannose units. The
mannose units are linked to each other by means of .beta.(1-4)
glycosidic linkages. The galactose branching arises by way of an

polymer derivative having a mannose to galactose ratio of greater
than 2:1 on a monomer to monomer basis, the galactomannan polymer
derivative selected from the group consisting of a cationic
galactomannan polymer derivative and an amphoteric galactomannan
polymer derivative having a net positive charge. As used herein,
the term "cationic galactomannan" refers to a galactomannan polymer
to which a cationic group is added. The term "amphoteric
galactomannan" refers to a galactomannan polymer to which a
cationic group and an anionic group are added such that the polymer
has a net positive charge.
[0095] Galactomannan polymers are present in the endosperm of seeds
of the Leguminosae family Galactomannan polymers are made up of a
combination of mannose monomers and galactose monomers. The
galactomannan molecule is a straight chain mannan branched at
regular intervals with single membered galactose units on specific
mannose units. The mannose units are linked to each other by means
of .beta. (1-4) glycosidic linkages. The galactose branching arises
by way of an .alpha. (1-6) linkage. The ratio of mannose monomers
to galactose monomers varies according to the species of the plant
and also is affected by climate. Non Guar Galactomannan polymer
derivatives suitable for use can have a ratio of mannose to
galactose of greater than 2:1 on a monomer to monomer basis.
Suitable ratios of mannose to galactose can be greater than about
3:1, and the ratio of mannose to galactose can be greater than
about 4:1. Analysis of mannose to galactose ratios is well known in
the art and is typically based on the measurement of the galactose
content.
[0096] The gum for use in preparing the non-guar galactomannan
polymer derivatives is typically obtained as naturally occurring
material such as seeds or beans from plants. Examples of various
non-guar galactomannan polymers include but are not limited to Tara
gum (3 parts mannose/1 part galactose), Locust bean or Carob (4
parts mannose/1 part galactose), and Cassia gum (5 parts mannose/1
part galactose).
[0097] The non-guar galactomannan polymer derivatives can have a M.
Wt. from about 1,000 to about 1,000,000, and/or form about 5,000 to
about 900,000.
[0098] The hair care compositions of the can also include
galactomannan polymer derivatives which have a cationic charge
density from about 0.5 meq/g to about 7 meq/g., The galactomannan
polymer derivatives can have a cationic charge density from about 1
meq/g to about 5 meq/g. The degree of substitution of the cationic
groups onto the galactomannan structure should be sufficient to
provide the requisite cationic charge density.
[0099] The galactomannan polymer derivative can be a cationic
derivative of the non-guar galactomannan polymer, which is obtained
by reaction between the hydroxyl groups of the polygalactomannan
polymer and reactive quaternary ammonium compounds. Suitable
quaternary ammonium compounds for use in forming the cationic
galactomannan polymer derivatives include those conforming to the
general formulas 1-5, as defined above.
[0100] Cationic non-guar galactomannan polymer derivatives formed
from the reagents described above are represented by the general
formula 6:
##STR00023##
wherein R is the gum. The cationic galactomannan derivative can be
a gum hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride, which can be more
specifically represented by the general formula 7:
##STR00024##
[0101] Alternatively the galactomannan polymer derivative can be an
amphoteric galactomannan polymer derivative having a net positive
charge, obtained when the cationic galactomannan polymer derivative
further comprises an anionic group.
[0102] The cationic non-guar galactomannan can have a ratio of
mannose to galactose is greater than about 4:1, a molecular weight
of about 50,000 g/mol to about 1,000,000 g/mol, and/or from about
100,000 g/mol to about 900,000 g/mol and a cationic charge density
from about 1 meq/g to about 5 meq/g, and/or from 2 meq/g to about 4
meq/g and can also be derived from a cassia plant.
[0103] The hair care compositions can comprise at least about 0.05%
of a galactomannan polymer derivative by weight of the composition,
alternatively from about 0.05% to about 2%, by weight of the
composition, of a galactomannan polymer derivative.
[0104] The hair care compositions can comprise water-soluble
cationically modified starch polymers. As used herein, the term
"cationically modified starch" refers to a starch to which a
cationic group is added prior to degradation of the starch to a
smaller molecular weight, or wherein a cationic group is added
after modification of the starch to achieve a desired molecular
weight. The definition of the term "cationically modified starch"
also includes amphoterically modified starch. The term
"amphoterically modified starch" refers to a starch hydrolysate to
which a cationic group and an anionic group are added.
[0105] The hair care compositions can comprise cationically
modified starch polymers at a range of about 0.01% to about 10%,
and/or from about 0.05% to about 5%, by weight of the
composition.
[0106] The cationically modified starch polymers disclosed herein
have a percent of bound nitrogen of from about 0.5% to about
4%.
[0107] The cationically modified starch polymers for use in the
hair care compositions can have a molecular weight about 50,000
g/mol to about 1,000,000 g/mol and/or from about 100,000 g/mol to
about 1,000,000 g/mol.
[0108] The hair care compositions can include cationically modified
starch polymers which have a charge density of from about 0.2 meq/g
to about 5 meq/g, and/or from about 0.2 meq/g to about 2 meq/g. The
chemical modification to obtain such a charge density includes, but
is not limited to, the addition of amino and/or ammonium groups
into the starch molecules. Non-limiting examples of these ammonium
groups may include substituents such as hydroxypropyl trimmonium
chloride, trimethylhydroxypropyl ammonium chloride,
dimethylstearylhydroxypropyl ammonium chloride, and
dimethyldodecylhydroxypropyl ammonium chloride. See Solarek, D. B.,
Cationic Starches in Modified Starches: Properties and Uses,
Wurzburg, O. B., Ed., CRC Press, Inc., Boca Raton, Fla. 1986, pp
113-125. The cationic groups may be added to the starch prior to
degradation to a smaller molecular weight or the cationic groups
may be added after such modification.
[0109] The cationically modified starch polymers generally have a
degree of substitution of a cationic group from about 0.2 to about
2.5. As used herein, the "degree of substitution" of the
cationically modified starch polymers is an average measure of the
number of hydroxyl groups on each anhydroglucose unit which is
derivatized by substituent groups. Since each anhydroglucose unit
has three potential hydroxyl groups available for substitution, the
maximum possible degree of substitution is 3. The degree of
substitution is expressed as the number of moles of substituent
groups per mole of anhydroglucose unit, on a molar average basis.
The degree of substitution may be determined using proton nuclear
magnetic resonance spectroscopy (".sup.1H NMR") methods well known
in the art. Suitable .sup.1H NMR techniques include those described
in "Observation on NMR Spectra of Starches in Dimethyl Sulfoxide,
Iodine-Complexing, and Solvating in Water-Dimethyl Sulfoxide",
Qin-Ji Peng and Arthur S. Perlin, Carbohydrate Research, 160
(1987), 57-72; and "An Approach to the Structural Analysis of
Oligosaccharides by NMR Spectroscopy", J. Howard Bradbury and J.
Grant Collins, Carbohydrate Research, 71, (1979), 15-25.
[0110] The source of starch before chemical modification can be
chosen from a variety of sources such as tubers, legumes, cereal,
and grains. Non-limiting examples of this source starch may include
corn starch, wheat starch, rice starch, waxy corn starch, oat
starch, cassava starch, waxy barley, waxy rice starch, glutenous
rice starch, sweet rice starch, amioca, potato starch, tapioca
starch, oat starch, sago starch, sweet rice, or mixtures
thereof.
[0111] The cationically modified starch polymers can be selected
from degraded cationic maize starch, cationic tapioca, cationic
potato starch, and mixtures thereof. Alternatively, the
cationically modified starch polymers are cationic corn starch and
cationic tapioca.
[0112] The starch, prior to degradation or after modification to a
smaller molecular weight, may comprise one or more additional
modifications. For example, these modifications may include
cross-linking, stabilization reactions, phosphorylations, and
hydrolyzations. Stabilization reactions may include alkylation and
esterification.
[0113] The cationically modified starch polymers may be
incorporated into the composition in the form of hydrolyzed starch
(e.g., acid, enzyme, or alkaline degradation), oxidized starch
(e.g., peroxide, peracid, hypochlorite, alkaline, or any other
oxidizing agent), physically/mechanically degraded starch (e.g.,
via the thermo-mechanical energy input of the processing
equipment), or combinations thereof.
[0114] An optimal form of the starch is one which is readily
soluble in water and forms a substantially clear (%
Transmittance.gtoreq.80 at 600 nm) solution in water. The
transparency of the composition is measured by Ultra-Violet/Visible
(UV/VIS) spectrophotometry, which determines the absorption or
transmission of UV/VIS light by a sample, using a Gretag Macbeth
Colorimeter Color i 5 according to the related instructions. A
light wavelength of 600 nm has been shown to be adequate for
characterizing the degree of clarity of cosmetic compositions.
[0115] Suitable cationically modified starch for use in hair care
compositions are available from known starch suppliers. Also
suitable for use in hair care compositions are nonionic modified
starch that can be further derivatized to a cationically modified
starch as is known in the art. Other suitable modified starch
starting materials may be quaternized, as is known in the art, to
produce the cationically modified starch polymer suitable for use
in hair care compositions.
[0116] Starch Degradation Procedure: a starch slurry can be
prepared by mixing granular starch in water. The temperature is
raised to about 35.degree. C. An aqueous solution of potassium
permanganate is then added at a concentration of about 50 ppm based
on starch. The pH is raised to about 11.5 with sodium hydroxide and
the slurry is stirred sufficiently to prevent settling of the
starch. Then, about a 30% solution of hydrogen peroxide diluted in
water is added to a level of about 1% of peroxide based on starch.
The pH of about 11.5 is then restored by adding additional sodium
hydroxide. The reaction is completed over about a 1 to about 20
hour period. The mixture is then neutralized with dilute
hydrochloric acid. The degraded starch is recovered by filtration
followed by washing and drying.
[0117] The hair care composition can comprise a cationic copolymer
of an acrylamide monomer and a cationic monomer, wherein the
copolymer has a charge density of from about 1.0 meq/g to about 3.0

tripropylene glycol, diethylene glycol, ethylene glycol, propylene
glycol, glycerin, 1,3-propane diol, 2,2-propanediol,
1,2-butanediol, 1,3-butanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 2,3-butanediol,
2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol, and mixtures thereof. The hair care
composition may comprise two or more water miscible solvents,
wherein at least one of the solvents is dipropylene glycol.
[0171] D. Propellant
[0172] The hair care composition described herein may comprise from
about from about 1% to about 10% propellant, alternatively from
about 2% to about 8% propellant, alternatively from about 2.5% to
about 7% propellant, and alternatively from about 3% to about 6%
propellant by weight of the hair care composition.
[0173] The propellant may comprise one or more volatile materials,
which in a gaseous state, may carry the other components of the
hair care composition in particulate or droplet form. The
propellant may have a boiling point within the range of from about
-45.degree. C. to about 5.degree. C. The propellant may be
liquefied when packaged in convention aerosol containers under
pressure. The rapid boiling of the propellant upon leaving the
aerosol foam dispenser may aid in the atomization of the other
components of the hair care composition.
[0174] Aerosol propellants which may be employed in the aerosol
composition may include the chemically-inert hydrocarbons such as
propane, n-butane, isobutane, cyclopropane, and mixtures thereof,
as well as halogenated hydrocarbons such as
dichlorodifluoromethane, 1,1-dichloro-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane,
1-chloro-1,1-difluoro-2,2-trifluoroethane,
1-chloro-1,1-difluoroethylene, 1,1-difluoroethane, dimethyl ether,
monochlorodifluoromethane, trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, and
mixtures thereof. The propellant may comprise hydrocarbons such as
isobutane, propane, and butane--these materials may be used for
their low ozone reactivity and may be used as individual components
where their vapor pressures at 21.1.degree. C. range from about
1.17 Bar to about 7.45 Bar, alternatively from about 1.17 Bar to
about 4.83 Bar, and alternatively from about 2.14 Bar to about 3.79
Bar.
[0175] E. Optional Ingredients
[0176] The hair care composition may further comprise one or more
optional ingredients, including benefit agents Suitable benefit
agents include, but are not limited to conditioning agents,
cationic polymers silicone emulsions, anti-dandruff actives, gel
networks, chelating agents, and, natural oils such as sun flower
oil or castor oil. Additional suitable optional ingredients include
but are not limited to perfumes, perfume microcapsules, colorants,
particles, anti-microbials, foam busters, anti-static agents,
rheology modifiers and thickeners, suspension materials and
structurants, pH adjusting agents and buffers, preservatives,
pearlescent agents, solvents, diluents, anti-oxidants, vitamins and
combinations thereof.
[0177] Such optional ingredients should be physically and
chemically compatible with the components of the composition, and
should not otherwise unduly impair product stability, aesthetics,
or performance. The CTFA Cosmetic Ingredient Handbook, Tenth
Edition (published by the Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance
Association, Inc., Washington, D.C.) (2004) (hereinafter "CTFA"),
describes a wide variety of nonlimiting materials that can be added
to the composition herein.
[0178] 1. Conditioning Agents
[0179] The conditioning agent of the hair care compositions can be
a silicone conditioning agent. The silicone conditioning agent may
comprise volatile silicone, non-volatile silicone, or combinations
thereof. The concentration of the silicone conditioning agent
typically ranges from about 0.01% to about 10%, by weight of the
composition, from about 0.1% to about 8%, from about 0.1% to about
5%, and/or from about 0.2% to about 3%. Non-limiting examples of
suitable silicone conditioning agents, and optional suspending
agents for the silicone, are described in U.S. Reissue Pat. No.
34,584, U.S. Pat. No. 5,104,646, and U.S. Pat. No. 5,106,609, which
descriptions are incorporated herein by reference.
[0180] The hair care composition can comprise from about 0.01% to
about 4%, alternatively from about 0.5% to about 3.5%,
alternatively from about 0.5% to about 3% by weight of the hair
care composition, of one or more silicone emulsions, wherein the
silicone emulsion has a particle size of less than about 10
microns.
[0181] Suitable silicone emulsions can be selected from the group
consisting of dimethiconol/dimethicone, silicone quaternium-22,
silicone quaternium-17, silicone quaternium-80 micro-emulsion, and
mixtures thereof.
[0182] The silicone conditioning agents suitable for use in the
hair care compositions can have a viscosity, as measured at
25.degree. C., from about 20 to about 2,000,000 centistokes
("csk"), from about 1,000 to about 1,800,000 csk, from about 50,000
to about 1,500,000 csk, and/or from about 100,000 to about
1,500,000 csk.
[0183] The dispersed silicone conditioning agent particles
typically have a volume average particle diameter ranging from
about 0.01 micrometer to about 10 micrometer. For small particle
application to hair, the volume average particle diameters
typically range from about 0.01 micrometer to about 4 micrometer,
from about 0.01 micrometer to about 2 micrometer, from about 0.01
micrometer to about 0.5 micrometer.
[0184] Additional material on silicones including sections
discussing silicone fluids, gums, and resins, as well as
manufacture of silicones, are found in Encyclopedia of Polymer
Science and Engineering, vol. 15, 2d ed., pp 204-308, John Wiley
& Sons, Inc. (1989), incorporated herein by reference.
[0185] Silicone emulsions suitable for suitable for use include,
but are not limited to, emulsions of insoluble polysiloxanes
prepared in accordance with the descriptions provided in U.S. Pat.
No. 4,476,282 and U.S. Patent Application Publication No.
2007/0276087. Accordingly, suitable insoluble polysiloxanes include
polysiloxanes such as alpha, omega hydroxy-terminated polysiloxanes
or alpha, omega alkoxy-terminated polysiloxanes having a molecular
weight within the range from about 50,000 to about 500,000 g/mol.
The insoluble polysiloxane can have an average molecular weight
within the range from about 50,000 to about 500,000 g/mol. For
example, the insoluble polysiloxane may have an average molecular
weight within the range from about 60,000 to about 400,000; from
about 75,000 to about 300,000; from about 100,000 to about 200,000;
or the average molecular weight may be about 150,000 g/mol. The
insoluble polysiloxane can have an average particle size within the
range from about 30 nm to about 10 micron. The average particle
size may be within the range from about 40 nm to about 5 micron,
from about 50 nm to about 1 micron, from about 75 nm to about 500
nm, or about 100 nm, for example.
[0186] The average molecular weight of the insoluble polysiloxane,
the viscosity of the silicone emulsion, and the size of the
particle comprising the insoluble polysiloxane are determined by
methods commonly used by those skilled in the art, such as the
methods disclosed in Smith, A. L. The Analytical Chemistry of
Silicones, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.: New York, 1991. For
example, the viscosity of the silicone emulsion can be measured at
30.degree. C. with a Brookfield viscometer with spindle 6 at 2.5
rpm. The silicone emulsion may further include an additional
emulsifier together with the anionic surfactant,
[0187] Other classes of silicones suitable for use in compositions
include but are not limited to: i) silicone fluids, including but
not limited to, silicone oils, which are flowable materials having
viscosity less than about 1,000,000 csk as measured at 25.degree.
C.; ii) aminosilicones, which contain at least one primary,
secondary or tertiary amine; iii) cationic silicones, which contain
at least one quaternary ammonium functional group; iv) silicone
gums; which include materials having viscosity greater or equal to
1,000,000 csk as measured at 25.degree. C.; v) silicone resins,
which include highly cross-linked polymeric siloxane systems; vi)
high refractive index silicones, having refractive index of at
least 1.46, and vii) mixtures thereof.
[0188] The conditioning agent of the hair care compositions may
also comprise at least one organic conditioning material such as
oil or wax, either alone or in combination with other conditioning
agents, such as the silicones described above. The organic material
can be non-polymeric, oligomeric or polymeric. It may be in the
form of oil or wax and may be added in the formulation neat or in a
pre-emulsified form. Some non-limiting examples of organic
conditioning materials include, but are not limited to: i)
hydrocarbon oils; ii) polyolefins, iii) fatty esters, iv)
fluorinated conditioning compounds, v) fatty alcohols, vi) alkyl
glucosides and alkyl glucoside derivatives; vii) quaternary
ammonium compounds; viii) polyethylene glycols and polypropylene
glycols having a molecular weight of up to about 2,000,000
including those with CTFA names PEG-200, PEG-400, PEG-600,
PEG-1000, PEG-2M, PEG-7M, PEG-14M, PEG-45M and mixtures
thereof.
[0189] 2. Emulsifiers
[0190] A variety of anionic and nonionic emulsifiers can be used in
the hair care compositions. The anionic and nonionic emulsifiers
can be either monomeric or polymeric in nature. Monomeric examples
include, by way of illustrating and not limitation, alkyl
ethoxylates, alkyl sulfates, soaps, and fatty esters and their
derivatives. Polymeric examples include, by way of illustrating and
not limitation, polyacrylates, polyethylene glycols, and block
copolymers and their derivatives. Naturally occurring emulsifiers
such as lanolins, lecithin and lignin and their derivatives are
also non-limiting examples of useful emulsifiers.
[0191] 3. Chelating Agents
[0192] The hair care composition can also comprise a chelant.
Suitable chelants include those listed in A E Martell & R M
Smith, Critical Stability Constants, Vol. 1, Plenum Press, New York
& London (1974) and A E Martell & R D Hancock, Metal
Complexes in Aqueous Solution, Plenum Press, New York & London
(1996) both incorporated herein by reference. When related to
chelants, the term "salts and derivatives thereof" means the salts
and derivatives comprising the same functional structure (e.g.,
same chemical backbone) as the chelant they are referring to and
that have similar or better chelating properties. This term include
alkali metal, alkaline earth, ammonium, substituted ammonium (i.e.
monoethanolammonium, diethanolammonium, triethanolammonium) salts,
esters of chelants having an acidic moiety and mixtures thereof, in
particular all sodium, potassium or ammonium salts. The term
"derivatives" also includes "chelating surfactant" compounds, such
as those exemplified in U.S. Pat. No. 5,284,972, and large
molecules comprising one or more chelating groups having the same
functional structure as the parent chelants, such as polymeric EDDS
(ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid) disclosed in U.S. Pat. No.
5,747,440.
[0193] Levels of the EDDS chelant in the hair care compositions can
be as low as about 0.01 wt % or even as high as about 10 wt %, but
above the higher level (i.e., 10 wt %) formulation and/or human
safety concerns may arise. The level of the EDDS chelant may be at
least about 0.05 wt %, at least about 0.1 wt %, at least about 0.25
wt %, at least about 0.5 wt %, at least about 1 wt %, or at least
about 2 wt % by weight of the hair care composition. Levels above
about 4 wt % can be used but may not result in additional
benefit.
[0194] 4. Anti-Dandruff Actives
[0195] Anti-dandruff agents suitable for use in hair care
compositions include pyridinethione salts, azoles (e.g.,
ketoconazole, econazole, and elubiol), selenium sulfide,
particulate sulfur, salicylic acid, and mixtures thereof. A typical
anti-dandruff agent is pyridinethione salt. Hair care compositions
can also include a zinc-containing layered material. An example of
a zinc-containing layered material can include zinc carbonate
materials. Of these, zinc carbonate and pyridinethione salts
(particularly zinc pyridinethione or "ZPT) are common in the
composition, and often present together.
[0196] 5. Aqueous Carrier
[0197] The hair care compositions can be in the form of pourable
liquids (under ambient conditions). Such compositions will
therefore typically comprise a carrier, which is present at a level
of from about 40% to about 80%, alternatively from about 45% to
about 75%, alternatively from about 50% to about 70% by weight of
the hair care composition. The carrier may comprise water, or a
miscible mixture of water and organic solvent, and in one aspect
may comprise water with minimal or no significant concentrations of
organic solvent, except as otherwise incidentally incorporated into
the composition as minor ingredients of other essential or optional
components.
[0198] Carriers useful in the hair care compositions include water
and water solutions of lower alkyl alcohols and polyhydric
alcohols. The lower alkyl alcohols useful herein are monohydric
alcohols having 1 to 6 carbons, in one aspect, ethanol and
isopropanol. Exemplary polyhydric alcohols useful herein include
propylene glycol, hexylene glycol, glycerin, and propane diol.
Aerosol Foam Dispenser
[0199] The aerosol foam dispenser may comprise a reservoir for
holding the hair treatment composition. The reservoir may be made
out of any suitable material selected from the group consisting of
plastic, metal, alloy, laminate, and combinations thereof. The
reservoir may be for one-time use. The reservoir may be removable
from the aerosol foam dispenser. Alternatively, the reservoir may
be integrated with the aerosol foam dispenser. There may be two or
more reservoirs.
[0200] The reservoir may be comprised of a material selected from
the group consisting of rigid materials, flexible materials, and
combinations thereof. The reservoir may be comprised of a rigid
material if it does not collapse under external atmospheric
pressure when it is subject to an interior partial vacuum.
Product Form
[0201] The hair care compositions may be presented in typical hair
care formulations. They may be in the form of solutions,
dispersion, emulsions, powders, talcs, encapsulated, spheres,
spongers, solid dosage forms, foams, and other delivery mechanisms.
The compositions may be hair tonics, leave-on hair products such as
treatment, and styling products, rinse-off hair products such as
shampoos and personal cleansing products, and treatment products;
and any other form that may be applied to hair.
[0202] The hair care composition in the form of a foam can have a
density of from about 0.025 g/cm.sup.3 to about 0.30 g/cm.sup.3,
alternatively from about 0.05 g/cm.sup.3 to about 0.20 g/cm.sup.3,
and alternatively from about 0.075 g/cm.sup.3 to about 0.15
g/cm.sup.3.
Test Methods
[0203] A. Cone/Plate Viscosity Measurement:
[0204] The viscosities of the examples are measured by a Cone/Plate
Controlled Stress Brookfield Rheometer R/S Plus, by Brookfield
Engineering Laboratories, Stoughton, Mass. The cone used (Spindle
C-75-1) has a diameter of 75 mm and 1.degree. angle. The viscosity
is determined using a steady state flow experiment at constant
shear rate of 2 s.sup.-1 and at temperature of 26.5.degree. C. The
sample size is 2.5 ml and the total measurement reading time is 3
minutes.
[0205] B. cSt Viscosity Method
[0206] The hair care composition has a viscosity of from about 10
cSt to about 500 cSt, alternatively from about 15 cSt to about 400
cSt, alternatively from about 20 cSt to about 300 cSt,
alternatively from about 25 cSt to about 250 cSt, and alternatively
from about 30 cSt to about 250 cSt.
[0207] The cSt viscosity of the hair care composition is calculated
using the following method:
Combine ingredients including surfactants, perfumes, viscosity
reducing agents, polymers, other ingredients and the aqueous medium
in a vessel. Samples are vortexed and placed into oven at
60.degree. C. overnight to form a homogeneous solution. Samples
that show hazing or clouding and formulas that appear
macroscopically heterogeneous (e.g. multiple layers) at room
temperature are not considered for further analysis and
evaluation.
[0208] The cSt viscosities of the formulations are measured with
calibrated viscometers (Size 200/350/450) from Cannon Instrument
Company (2139 High Tech Road, State College, Pa., USA, 16803).
Prior to the measurement, the formulations are equilibrated in the
viscometer reservoir for 30 min at 40.degree. C. in water bath to
ensure a homogeneous temperature is reached in the system.
[0209] After the equilibration, the formulations are drawn to reach
the starting mark with a rubber suction bulb and the flow time
between the starting mark and end mark is recorded for calculation.
Each formulation is measured three times to calculate average and
standard deviation. Between samples, the viscometer is cleaned with
water and acetone to rinse off residual.
cSt Viscosities are Calculated Based on the Equation:
[0210]
Viscosity(mm.sup.2/s.(cSt))=Time(s)*Constant(mm.sup.2/s.sup.2.(CSt-
/s))
The time in the above equation is the flow time recorded in the
experiment and the constants for each calibrated viscometer are
obtained from the manuals.
[0211] C. Hair Wet Feel Friction Measurement:
[0212] A switch of 4 grams general population hair at 8 inches
length is used for the measurement. Water temperature is set at
100.degree. F., hardness is 7 grain per gallon, and flow rate is
1.6 liter per minute. For shampoos in liquid form, 0.2 ml of a
liquid shampoo is applied on the hair switch in a zigzag pattern
uniformly to cover the entire hair length, using a syringe. For
shampoo in aerosol foam form, foam is dispensed to a weighing pan
through an aluminum can of 53.times.190 mm size from CCL container.
0.2 gram of foam shampoo is applied on the hair switch uniformly to
cover the entire hair length via a spatula. The hair switch is then
1st lathered for 30 seconds, rinse with water for 30 seconds, and
2nd lathered for 30 seconds. Water flow rate is then reduced to 0.2
liter per minute. The hair switch is sandwiched with a clamp under
1200 gram of force and pulled through the entire length while the
water is running at the low flow rate. The pull time is 30 second.
Friction is measured with a Friction analyzer with a load cell of 5
kg. Repeat the pull under rinse for total of 21 times. Total 21
Friction values are collected. The hair wet Feel Friction of
shampoo reported here is the final rinse friction which is the
average friction of the last 7 points.
[0213] D. Hair Dry Feel Friction Measurement
[0214] The shampooed and rinsed hair switch is air dried and placed
between artificial skin surrogates. Dry feel friction (peak
sum-static friction) is measured using a Texture Analyzer by
applying a constant pressure of 60 psi to rub the hair switch a
forward and reverse direction.
EXAMPLES
[0215] The following examples illustrate embodiments of the
invention described herein. The exemplified hair care compositions
may be made by conventional formulation and mixing techniques or by
mixing together water and surfactants along with any solids that
need to be melted at an elevated temperature, e.g. about 75.degree.
C. The ingredients are mixed thoroughly at the elevated temperature
and then cooled to ambient temperature. Additional ingredients,
including electrolytes, polymers, silicone emulsions, preservatives
and fragrances may be added to the cooled product. It will be
appreciated that other modifications of the hair care compositions,
and/or conditioner compositions within the skill of those in the
formulation art can be undertaken without departing from the spirit
and scope of this invention. All parts, percentages, and ratios
herein are by weight unless otherwise specified. Some components
may come from suppliers as dilute solutions. The amount stated
reflects the weight percent of the active material, unless
otherwise specified.
