AND ENHANCED S~NE

TECHNICAL FIELD

This invention relates to hair care compositions that provide conditioning and shine to the hair. More particularly, this invention relates tO hair 5 care compositions that provide conditioning and enh~nced levels of shine tO the hair.

BACKGROUND OF THE ~NVENTION
The shampooing of hair conventionally is pclroll,,ed ~Itili7ing any 20 of numerous detersive surfactant-co..~ .;..g compositions known in the art.
Whereas it is well known how to formulate shampoos that can effi~iently clean the hair, merely providing clean hair is not, in and of itself, satisfying to substantial se~...e~l c of consumers who also want their hair to be manageable, and to also feel and look ple~cing and healthy.
One common method of providing a more pleasin_ and manageable hair is through the use of hair conditioning agents, such as cationic~
quaternary ammonium surf~ct~nts and polymers, silicone fluids, and hydrocarbon or other organic oils.
A conullon way to improve the a~)pe~nce of hair is through the use of hair shine actives, such as shellac, riimpthicone~ oils and waxes, and quaternary ~..",onium surf~ct~ntc Some hair care in~s.cdie..~s, such as the oilsand waxes, iimethicone, and cationic surf~ ntc provide conditioning as well as hair shine benefits. However, they can only be used at limited levels without causing adverse effects on hair appearance or feel. Too much oil, for example, 3 ~ can cause the hair to appear and feel greasy. High levels of dimethicone . cationic surf~t~nts~ and waxes can cause the hair to develop a dirty, coated feel and to become limp and without body, especially upon repeated usage. Shellac. on the other hand, causes the hair to feel stiff or tacky.

WO 94/08~57 2 1 ~ 7 4 7 4 PCI/US93/09937 ~ . . 2 The purpose of hair shine actives is to increase the amount of light reflecting offthe hair surface. The definition of hair shine is generally accepted to be the contrast between the specular and diffuse light reflected offthe hair fibers.
This contrast creates a perception of "sheen" or "highlight.~" strongly associated by the consumer with "healthy hair".
Whereas a wide variety of hair shine actives are known in the art such as those tli~c~lssed above, it remains highly desirable to provide hair care compositions that can provide enhanced levels of shine to the hair without incurring the cost, forrnulation tlifficlllties7 or hair aesthetic disadvantages that would be associated with merely increasing the level of hair shine active in prior-known compositions. It is an object of this invention to provide such haircare compositions.
It would further be desirable to provide hair care compositions that could provide ~nh~nced shine, as described above, which could also provide conditioning the hair, especially improved combing and hair feel. It therefore is also an object of this invention to provide hair care compositions that can provide both conditioning and enhance shine to the hair.
These and other benefits as mav be ~ cllssed or apparenl to one of ordinary skill in the art can be provided according to the invention which is described below.
All percentages herein are by weight of the compositi~n unless otherwise inrlir.~ted. All ratios are weight ratios unless otherwise indicated.
Unless otherwise in~icatetl, all percentages, ratios, and levels of ingredients referred to herein are based on the actual amount of the ingredient, and do not 2~ include solvents, fillers, or other materials with which the ingredient may be combined as commercially available products.
The invention hereof can comprise, consist of, or consist ess~nti~lly of the ess~nti~l elements described herein as well as any of the pl~"~d or other optional ingredients described hererin.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It has now been found that hair care compositions providing conditioning and ~nh~nced shine to the hair are provided through the combinationof a high refractive index nonvolatile polysiloxane fluid, a nonvolatile spreading agent which is colllpa~ible with the polysiloxane fluid, and a carrier suitable for 3~ application to the hair. It is ess~.nti~l that the compositions contain the spreadin~
agent because even though the polysiloxane fluids hereof have high refractive index. they do not provide the high levels of shine obtainable with the present invention without the presence of the spreading agent.

WO 94/08557 2 1 4 7 ~ 7 4 PCr/US93/09937 More specifically, the present invention provides a hair care composition that comprises:
(a) a nonvolatile polysiloxane fluid having a refractive index of at least about 1.46, (b) a nonvolatile spreading agent for said silicone fluid intermixed with said polysiloxane fluid; and (c) a carrier suitable for application to the hair, wherein said composition contains a sufficient amount of said spreading agent toreduce the Surface Tension of the polysiloxane fluid. Preferably, the Surface 0 Tension is reduced by at least about 5%, more preferably by at least about 10%, and the total of the mixture of said polysiloxane fiuid and said spreading agent is at least about 0.1%, by weight, of the composition. Alternately, the present invention can be described in terms of cont~ining a sufficient amount of said spreading agent to increase the Glossmeter Specular Reflectance for said mixturerelative to said polysiloxane fluid, by at least about ~1.0%.
In pler~lled embo~iments, the polysiloxane fluid is a highly arylated silicone, especially a highly phenylated silicone such as pentaphenyl trimethyl trisiloxane or diphenyl methylphenyl siloxane copolymer. or diphenyl dimethyl siloxane copolymer.
Suitable spreading agents include, but are not necessarily limited to, silicone resins (especially MQ silicone resins), surfactants such as polyether siloxane copolymers and non-silicone-cc,~ -g organic surf~r,t~ntc.
The present invention also relates to a method for providing conditioning and enh~nced shine by applying the compositions hereof to the hair.The compositions and methods of the present invention are advantageous for utilization in connection with a wide variety of hair care products inclll.iin~ leave-on compositions, such as hair lotions, tonics, gels, mousses, sprays, etc., and rinse-off compositions, such as shampoos and hair rinses.
The present invention inr.~ g various optional and preferred embo-liment~ thereof, is described in more detai; below.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF T~ INVENTION
The essçnti~l components and aspects of the invention, as well as various optional and plerell~d ingredients and embodiments of the invention, are3s described below.
Hi h Refractive Index Nonvolatile Polysiloxane Fluid The compositions of the present invention contain as an essential ingredient a nonvolatile polysiloxane fluid ("silicone fluid") having a refractive W094/085~7 214747~ PCI/US93/09937 index of at least about 1.46, preferably at least about 1.48, more preferably atleast about 1.52, most preferably at least about 1.55. Although not intended to necessarily limit the invention, the refractive index of the polysiloxane fluid will generally be less than about 1.70, typically less than about 1.60. Polysiloxane "fluid" includes fluids as well as gums.
As is well known in the art, refractive index refers to the change in direction (i.e. appa,~.,l bending) of a light ray passing from one medium to another. Refractive index shall herein refer to the light ray passing from air to the polysiloxane fluid or polysiloxane fluid/spreading agent mixture. Refractive index o of the silicone fluid can be determined using standard equipment common~y available and know in the art, such as an Abbe refractometer. Techniques for measuring refractive index are described in the Handbook of Chemical Microscopy, Volume I - Chemical Methods and Inorganic Qualitative Analysis, Chemot and Mason, ed., John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York 1958, pp 311 -334.
The term "nonvolatile" as used herein means the material referred to exhibits very low or no significant vapor pressure at ambient conditions, as well-known and understood in the art. Nonvolatile materials will generally exhibit no more than 0.2mm Hg at 25C and one atmosphere. Nonvolatile materials will also generally have a boiling point at one atmosphere of at least 275C, preferably at least 300C.
The polysiloxane fluid for use herein will generally have viscosity of at least about 10 centistokes at 25C, preferably from about 20 to about 2,000,000 centistokes more preferably from about 30 to about 500.000 centistokes. Other viscosity nonvolatile silicone fluids can also be used in thepresent invention as long as the other requirements described herein are met. Ingeneral, if conditioning as well as hair shine is desired from the silicone fluid, higher viscosity materials such as those above about 50,000, preferably above about 100,000, are preferably used. The viscosity can be measured by means of a glass capilla~y viscometer as set forth in Dow Corning Corporate Test Method CTMOOG4, July 20, 1970.
The polysiloxane fluid suitable for purposes hereof includes those represented by general Formula (I~:

The R substituents can also s include combinations of ether groups, hydroxy groups. and amine groups. as well as other functional groups, such as halogens and halogen-substituted functionalities, e.g. halogen-substituted aliphatic and aryl groups.
The polysiloxane fluid can be cyclic or linear. Linear polysiloxanes are exemplified above by Formula I. Branched chain can also be used. Cyclic 0 polysiloxanes include those le,~"esel-~ed by Formula (II):

(II) - Si ~ -n R

wherein R is as defined above, n is from about 3 to about 7, preferably from three to five.
The substituç~t.~ on the si!oxane chain (R) may have any structure 20 as long as the resl-lting polysiloxanes remain fluid at room temperature, arehydrophobic, are neither i~ ing, toxic nor otherwise harmful when applied to the hair, are compa~ible with the other components of the composition, are chemically stable under normal use and storage conditions, are capable of being deposited on the hair, and the resl.lting polysiloxane fluid has a refractive index as 2s set forth above.
Preferred alk,vl and alkenyl substitutes are C I -C5 alkvls and alkenyls, more prefe~ably from C 1 -C4, most preferably from C 1 -C2. The aliphatic portions of other alkyl-, alkenyl-, or alkynyl- con~ g groups (such asalkoxy, alkaryl, and ~lk~rnino) can be straight or branched chains and preferably ~o have from one to five carbon atoms, more preferably from one to four carbon atoms, even more preferably from one to three carbon atoms, most preferably from one to two carbon atoms. As tii~cussed above, the R substituents hereof canalso, contaln amino functionalities, e.g., ~lk~mino groups, which can be primary~
secondary or tertiary amines or quaternary ammonium. These include mono-, di-, 35 and tri- alkylamino and alkoxyamino groups wherein the aliphatic portion chain length is preferably as described above. The R substituents can also be substituted with other groups, such as halogens (e.g. chloride, fluoride, and bromide), halogenated aliphatic or aryl groups, and hvdroxy (e.g. hvdroxy WO94/08557 21~7474 ` ` 6 PCI/US93/09937 substituted aliphatic groups). Suitable halogenated R groups could include, for example, tri-halog~n~ted (preferably fluoro) alkyl groups such as -Rl-C(F)3, wherein R is Cl-C3 alkyl. Examples of such polysiloxanes include polvmethyl -3,3,3 trifluoloprol,ylsiloxane.
The high refractive index polysiloxane fluids hereof contain a sufficient amount of aryl-co,.l~;,.;ng R substituents to increase the refractive index to the desired level, which is described above.
Aryl-co"l~;..;ng substit~lPnt.c contain alicyclic and heterocyclic five and six membered aryl rings, and substituçnts co,-l~;"il-g fused five or six membered rings. The aryl rings themselves can be substituted or unsubstituted.
Substituents include aliphatic substituerltc, and can also include alkoxy substituents, acyl substituentc, ketones, halogens (e.g., Cl and Br), amines, etc.
Exemplary aryl-con~inin~ groups include substituted and unsubstituted arenes~
such as phenyl, and phenyl derivatives such as phenyls with Cl-C5 alkyl or alkenyl substit~l~nts, e.g., allylphenyl, methyl phenyl and ethyl phenyl. vinyl phenyls such as styrenyl, and phenyl alkynes (e.g. phenyl C2-C4 alkynes).
Heterocyclic aryl groups include substitlç~t~ derived from furan, irnidazole, pyrrole, pyridine, etc. Fused aryl ring substituents include, for example, napthalene, coumarin, and purine.
In general, the polysiloxane fluids hereof will have a degree of aryl-cont~ining substit lçntc of at least about 15%, prefel~bly at least about 20%, more preferably at least about 25%, even more preferably at least about 35%, most preferably at least about 50%. Typically, although it is not intended to necess~rily limit the invention, the degree of aryl substitution will be less than 2~ about 90%, more generally less than about 85%, preferably from about 5~% to about 80%.
The po~ysiloxane fluids hereof are also characterized by relatively high surface tensions as a result of their aryl substitution. In general, the polysiloxane fluids hereof will have a Surface Tension of at least about 24 dynes/cm2, typically at least about 27 dynes/cm2. Surface Tension, for purposes hereof? is measured by a de Nouy ring tensiometer according to Dow Corning Corporate Test Method CTM 0461, November 23, 1971. Changes in Surface Tension can be measured acco-ding to the above test method or according to ASTM Method D 1331.

alkenyl, and/or alkoxy.
High refractive index polysiloxane are available commercially from Dow Corning Corporation (Midland, Michigan U.S.A.) Huls America (Piscataway, New Jersey, U.S.A.), General Electric Silicones (Waterford, New York, U.S.A.).
Spreadin~ A~ent The compositions of the present invention will also comprise a nonvolatile spreading agent for the polysiloxane fluid. The spreading agent hereof o must be co~ )a~ible with the polysiloxane fluid.
The term "nonvolatile" is as defined previously herein. By "compatible" what is meant is that the spreading agent is soluble in, dispersible in, or miscible with the polysiloxane fluid, such that these two components can remain intermixed in the same phase of the composition. In other words. the 1~ spreading agent and the polysiloxane fluid are intermixed in the composition to form a mixture wherein the spreading agent reduces the Surface Tension of the polysiloxane fluid. Surface Tension reductions can be determined according to the procedure described previously herein. The spreading agent and polysiloxane fluid phase hereof can be a continuos or discontinuous phase in the present compositions.
In one aspect of the invention, the compositions hereof can be defined as co"~ g contain a sufficient amount of the spreading agent to reduce the Surface Tension of the polysiloxane fluid by at least about 5%, preferably at least about 10%, more preferably at least about 15%, even more preferably at least about 20%, most preferably at least about 25%. Reductions in Surface Tension of the polysiloxane fluid/spreading agent mixture can provide improved shine enhancement of the hair. Although it is not int~nded to necessarily limit the maximum degree of Surface Tension reduction to any particular amount, in the plt;r~led compositions hereof Surface Tension will generally be reduced by from about 20% to about 35%, more generally from about 25% to about 30%.
In general? the spreading agent should reduce the Surface Tension by at least about 2 dynes/cm2, preferably at least about 3 dynes/cm2, even more preferably at least about 4 dynes/cm2, most preferably at least about 5 dynes/cm .
The Surface Tension of the mixture of the polysiloxane fluid and the spreading agent, at the proportions present in the final p.oduct, is preferably 30 dynes/cm or less, more preferably about 28 dyr.es/cm or less most preferably about 25 dynes/cm2 or less. Typically the Surface Tension will be in the range of WO 94/08~57 2 1 4 7 4 7 4 ` PCr/US93/09937 from about 15 to about 30, more typically from about 18 to about 28. and most generally from about 20 to about 25 dynes/cm .
Gloss is a physical attribute that contributes to the shine or lustrous appearance of an object. Gloss can be measured in terms of specular s reflectance. Specular reflectance refers to the fraction, or percentage. of incident light reflected from a surface in the mirror direction (i.e. Iight reflected in the direction that is 180 from the light flowing from the light source toward the reflective surface) within a specified angular toierance. Specular reflectance is a useful means for measuring shineness of hair. Further background in specular o reflectance and its use in ev~ tin~ shininess of hair can be found in R. F. Stamm, M. L. Garcia, and J. J. Fuchs, "The Optical Properties of Human Hair-I.
Fun~m~nt~l Considerations and Goniophotometer Curves, and II. The Lustre of Human Hair Fibers," J. Soc Cosmet. Chem. 28, 571-599 and 601-609 (September 1977) all incorporated herein by referce.
Specular reflectance measured from a coating of the compositions hereof on a collagen-coated black ceramic plate correlates with shininess on hair and is less suspect to e~ ;J~ental variations due to inconsistency between hair samples and deposition the hair shine agent. Specular reflectance on such collagen-coated black ceramic plates as measured in the present invention is 20 determined accordingly that the procedure below in the Experimental and is referred to herein as Glossmeter Specular Reflectance.

W 0 94/085~7 2147~74 ~ PC~r/US93/09937 The present invention can alternately be described in terms of compositions co~ g a mixture of the spreading agent and the polysiloxane fluid wherein the composition contains a sufficient amount of the spreading agent to increase the Glossmeter Specular Reflectance for the mixture. relative to thepolysiloxane fluid, by at least about "delta 1.0%" (hereinafter "~ 1.0%", wherein delta relers to a change in percentage specular reflectance based upon 100% of the original light intensity). Preferably, the increase in Glossmeter Specular Reflectance is at least about ~2.0%, more preferably at least about ~5.0%, even more preferably at least about ~7.5%, most preferably at least about ~10.0%.
o Glossmeter Specular Reflectance is measured according to the procedure described below in the Experimental. In general, a 1.0% solution of the polysiloxane fluid in the same solvent, if any, used in the same phase as the polysiloxane fluid in the composition is used. If the polysiloxane fluid is not diluted with a separate solvent in the composition, cyclomethicone should be used to prepare the 1.0 % solution. If the necessary cyclomethicone/ethanol solutionscan be used to form the 1.0% of polysiloxane for purposes of the test. For the control, no spreading agent is incorporated. Otherwise, spreading agent is incorporated into the solution at the same weight ratio of polysiloxane fluid tospreading agent as present in the composition. The test solution is deposited on a collægen-coated, black ceramic tile and allowed to dry. Specular reflectance is measured with a glossmeter, a spectrophotometer suitable for measuring specular reflectance from flat surfaces. Suitable glossmeters are commercially available and known in the art, e.g. the "micro-gloss" glossmeter available from BYK-Gardner, Ind., Silver spring, MD, USA.
The weight ratio of the polysiloxane fluid to the spreading agent will, in general, be between about 1000:1 and about 1:10, preferably between about 100:1 and about 1 1, more preferably between about 50:1 and about 2:1, most preferably from about 25:1 to about 2:1. For hair rinse compositions it is particularly pl ~rt ,I ed for the ratio to be between about 1 0:1 and about 2:1. When fluorinated surf~S~ntc are used, particularly high polysiloxane: spreading agentratios may be effective due to the efficiency of these surf~ct~nSc. Thus, it is contemplated that ratios significantly above 1000:1 may be used.
Ple~lled spreading agents for use herein include silicone resins, and surf~ct~nts, which include both polye.ther siloxane copolymers an~
3~ non-silicone-cor.lAil.;g organic surf~r,t~nts. Especially prertlled spreading agents are the silicone resins.

WO 94/08~57 2 1 ~ 7 4 ~ 4 ! PCI /US93/09937 Silicone Resin Silicone resins are highly crosslinked polymeric siloxane svstems.
The cros.slinking is introduced through the incorporation of trifunctional and tetrafunctional silanes with monofunctional or difunctional monomer units, or both, during m~nllf~r,hlre of the silicone resin. As is well understood in the art.
the degree of croc.~linking that is required in order to result in a silicone resin will vary according to the specific silane units inco",o~led into the silicone resin. In general. silicone materials which have a sufficient level of trifunctional and tetrafunctional siloxane monomer units (and hence, a sufficient level of cros.~linking) such that they dry down to a rigid, or hard, film are considered to be silicone resins. The ratio of oxygen atoms to silicon atoms is indicative of thelevel of cro.c~linking in a particular silicone material. Silicone resins will generally have at least about 1.1 oxygen atoms per silicon atom. Preferably, the ratio of oxygen silicon atoms is at least about 1.2:1Ø Typical silanes used in the m~nl~f~ctllre of silicone resins are monomethyl-, dimethyl-, monophenyl-, diphenyl-, methylphenyl-, monovinyl-, and methylvinyl-chlorosilanes, and tetrachlorosilane. Pl~;Çt;~Jed resins are the methyl substituted silicone resins. such as those offered by General Electric as GE SS4230 and SS4267. Commercially available silicone resins will generally be supplied in an unhardened form in a low viscosity volatile or, preferably, nonvolatile silicone fluid. The silicone resins for use herein will be present in the compositions hereof in non-hardened form rather than as a hardened resin, as will be readily appal en~ to those skilled in the art.
Background material on silicones inrlutling sections di.cc~ls~ing silicone fluids, gums, and resins, as well as m~nl-f~r,tllre of silicones, can be found in Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Fngineering, Volume 15, Second Edition, pp 204-308, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1989, and Chemistry and Technology of Silicones, Walter Noll, Academic Press, Inc. (Harcourt Bruce Javanovich, Publishers, New York), 1968, pp 282-287 and 409-426, both incorporated herein by ~r~le.,ce.
Silicone materials and silicone resins in particular, can conveniently be identified according to a shorthand nomenrl~tllre system well known to those skilled in the art as "MDTQ" nomrnrl~hlre Under this system, the silicone is described according to presence of various siloxane monomer units which make up the silicone. Briefly, the symbol M denotes the monofunctional unit (CH3)3SiO) 5, D denotes the difunctional unit (CH3)2SiO; T denotes the trifunctional unit (CH3)Sil 5; and Q denotes the quadri- or tetra-functional unit SiO2. Primes of the unit symbols, e.g., M', D', T', and Q' denote substituents other than methyL and must be specifically defined for each occurrence. Typical WO 94/08557 2 1 ~ 7 4 7~ .1 PCr/US93/09937 alternate substituents include groups such as vinyl, phenyls, amines, hvdroxyls~etc. The molar ratios of the various units, either in terms of subscripts to thesymbols indicating the total number of each type of unit in the silicone (or an average thereof) or as specifically indicated ratios in combination with molecular weight complete the description of the silicone material under the MDTQ svstem Higher relative molar amounts of T, Q, T' and/or Q' to D, D', M and/or or M' in a silicone resin is indicative of higher levels of croc~linking As discussed before, however, the overall level of crosslinking can also be indicated by the oxygen to . . .
slhcon ratlo.
lo The silicone resins for use herein which are pler~-,ed are MQ, MT, MTQ, and MDTQ resins. Thus, the plerelled silicone substituent is methyl.
Especially plt:~--ed are MQ resins particularly those wherein the M:Q molar ratio is from about 0.5:1.0 to about 1.5:1.0 and the average molecular weight of the resin is from about 500 to about 10,000, generally from about l.000 to about 1~ 10,000.
Depending upon the particular choice of spreading agent (particularly the silicone resins) and polysiloxane fluid, it may be necessary or desirable to incorporate an additional solvent to ensure that the resin and polysiloxane fluid are compatible with one another. Thus, if the silicone resin isn't 20 corl,palible with the polysiloxane fluid at the desired polysiloxane fluid: silicone resin weight ratio, it will be useful to incorporate into the polysiloxane/spreading agent phase a solvent to facilate ~nh~nced solubility or dispersibility of thesecomponents. If the solvent has a refractive index below about 1.46, or is otherwise below the refractive index of the polysiloxane fluid, it may be desirable 25 to use a solvent which is volatile (materials that exhibit greater than 0.2mmHg at 25 C and one atmosphere, generally with a boiling point of less than 275 C), so that it does not remain on the hair and potentially impair the shine performanceobtained according to the present invention. Suitable solvents include:
cyclomethicone, other cyclic siloxanes such as those described herein as carrier30 fluids, linear polysiloxane polymers such as dimethicone, and other low viscosity analogues of the polysiloxane materials described in Formulas I and II, preferably having viscosity at 25C of about 10 centistokes or less, such materials generally having lower (or zero) degree of aryl-col,l~illh~g substituents than the highly arylated, high refractive index polysiloxane of the present invention; volatile liquid 3 ~ hydrocarbons, such as straight or branched chain hydrocarbons having from about 4 to about 16 carbon atoms (e.g., hexane, isobutane, decane, dodecane, tetradecane, tridecane): lower alcohols (e.g. C~-C4 alcohols such as ethanol andisopropanol); hydrocarbon esters, preferably with a total of about 10 carbon W094/08557 21 ~ 79 7~ 12 PCI'/US93/09937 atoms or less (e.g. ethyl acetate); halogenated hydrocarbons (e.g. freon). volatile ketones (e.g. acetone); and mixtures thereof Especially preferre~ is cyclomethicone. The present invention does not, however. exclude the use of nonvolatile solvents for the resiniphenylated polysiloxane solvent.
When used, solvents as described above will be used typically at a weight ratio of (solvent) to (highly arylated nonvolatile polysiloxane plus spreading agent) OI Up to about 100:1, more typically up to about 50:1~ for rinse-offhair care products, preferably from aobut 2:1 to about 10:1 for hair rinse products. For leave-on products, high levels of volatile solvents may be used aso carrier ingredients, as described later.
Surfactants Surfactants that are compatible with the polvsiloxane fluid hereof and which is suitable for application to the hair can also be used as a spreadin~
agent. The surfactants can be anionic, cationic, nonionic. amphoteric. or a s zwitterionic.
Polyether Siloxane Copolymer Polyether siloxane copolymers, or silicone "copolyols'! as they are sometimes lef~ d to, are silicone-cont~ining surfactants that can be utilized asspreading agents for the polysiloxane fluid. Silicone copolyols are surfactants charecterized by a hydrophobic polysiloxane chain and a hydrophilic alkoxy portion.
Silicone copolyols which may be used include polyalkylene oxide modified polydimethylsiloxanes ofthe following formulae:
l CH3 (CH3)3SiO-[Si(CH3)20]X- Si - O - Si(CH3)3 I

0 y (C2H40) a (C3H60) b-R
and R~ - Si-- [-0 Si (CH3)2]X- (0C2H4)a - (OC3H6)b -30R
wherein R is hydrogen, an alkyl group having from 1 to about 12 carbon atoms~
an alkoxy group having from I to about 6 carbon atoms or a hydroxyl group. R' and R" are alkyl groups having from I to about 12 carbon atoms; x is an inteoer W 0 94/08557 21~7~7 ~ PC~r/US93/09937 of from I to 100, preferably from 20 to 30; y is an integer of I to 20, preferably from 2 to 10: and a and b are integers offrom 0 to 50, preferably from 20 to 30.Silicone copolyols among those useful herein are also disclosed in the following patent documents, all incorporated by reference herein: U.S. Patent 4,122,029, Geen, et al., issued October 24, 1978; U.S. Patent 4,265,878.

The additional components, in addition to the carrier, required or desirable to formulate such products vary with product typeand can be routinely chosen by one skilled in the hair care product art. For example, shampoos, will also contain cle~ncing surfact~nts, a wide variety of WO 94/08~7 2 I ~ 7 4 7 4 PCr/US93/09937 which are well known. Exemplary surfactants that can be used as cleansing surf~ctn~t.c are desicribed above. these include anionic. nonionic, amphoteric. and zwitterionic non-silocone-cont~ining surfactants. Hair conditioners may contain.in addition to the high refractive index polysiloxane fluids, other hair conditioningJ
agents such as lower refractive index silicone fluids, such as those described herein but with lower degrees of aryl-substitution, e.g., dimethicone, catioric surf~ct~nt~ and cationic polymers, organic oils and waxes such as hydrocarbon oils, and fatty acid esters, and alcohols.
A particular category of low refractive index (i.e. refractive index 0 below 1.46, generally below about 1.44, preferably from about 1.38 to about1.42) polysiloxane fluids that can be used are polysiloxane gums. "Polysiloxane gum" refers to silicone fluids having a viscosity at 25C of 1,000,000 cp or higher. Preferably, the viscosity will be from 1,000,000 to about 100,000,000 cpat 25C. Expecially ple~l-ed is polydimethylsiloxane gum. Low refractive inde~;
polysiloxane conditioners are generally used at levels of from about 0.01% to about 1 0%, by weight, of the compositions, preferably from about 0.1 % to about5%, more preferably from about 0.5% to about 5%, most preferably from about 1% to about 4%.
In addition to providing hair conditioring benefits to compositions 20 CO~ g the high refractive index and spreading agent hereof, it has been foundthat the colllbinalion of low refractive index polysiloxane gum and high refractive index polysiloxane fluids hereof, even in the absence of spreading agent, can provide excellent hair conditioning with surprising improvements in shine. The low refractive index polysiloxane gum and high refractive index polysiloxane fluid 2s are used at the previously disclosed levels. The weight ratio for the low refractive index gum to the high refractive index fluid in this aspect of the invention is from about 1:100 to about 1001, preferably from about 1:10 to about 10:1, more preferably from about 1:5 to about 5:1.
Suitable cationic polymers include, for example, copolymers of vinyl monomers having cationic amine or quaternary ammonium functionalities with water soluble spacer monomers such as acrylamide, methacrylamide, alkyl and dialkyl acrylamides, alkyl and dialkyl methacrylamides, alkyl acrylate, alkvl methacrylate, vinyl caprolactone, and vinyl pyrrolidone. The alkyl and dialkyl substituted monomers preferble have Cl-C7 alkyl groups, more preferably Cl-C3 alkyl groups. Other suitable spacer monomers include vinyl esters, vinyl alcoho}(made by nydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate), maleic anhydride. propylene glycol and ethylene glycol. Other cationic polymers include cationic-modified polysaccharides. such as cationic ammonium modified cellulose. Suitable cationic W- ~4/085~7 2147~71 i PCI/US93/09937 2s surfactants are generally described above, especeially prt:fe-.ed are di(Cl ~-CIg, especially C 1 6-C 18) alkyl and alkenyl, dimethyl ammonium salts (especially chloride salts).
Hair setting compositions, e.g. sprays, mousses, gels, and hair ~ 5 rinses, can contain film forming polymers, i.e. adhesive polymers~ as are well known in the art.
Exemplary adhesive polymers include polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), particularly poly N-vinyl pyrrolidone, copolymers of PVP and methylmetharylate, copolymers of PVP and vinyl acetate (VA), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA).
0 Exemplary adhesive polymers also include copolymers of VA and crotonic acid, copolymers of methylvinylether and maleic hemiesters (e.g. maleicethyl ester and maleic butyl ester), hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl guargum, polystyrene sulfonate salts, polyacrylic polymers such as polymers and copolymers of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid, co- and ter- polymers of acrylic acid and/or methacylic acid with acrylamide and/or vinyl pyrrolidone such as terpolymers of vinyl pyrrolidone/methyl methacrylate/methacrylic, terpolymers ofvinyl pyrrolidone/ethylmetha~ vlate/methacrylic acid, terpolymers of t-butyl acrylamide/ethyl acrylate/acryllc acid, and terpolymers of VA/crotonic acid/vinyl neodecanoate.
Other examples of anionic hair hold polymers are crotonic acid and a vinyl ester of an alpha-branched saturated aliphatic monocarboxylic acid such as vinyl neodec~no~te; and copolymers of methyl vinyl ether and maleic anhydride (e.g. molar ratio about 1:1) wherein such copolymers are ~0% esterfied with a saturated aliphatic alcohol co,.~ from 1 to 4 carbon atoms such as ethanol or butanol, and acrylic copolymers and terpolymers cor,l~il,;"g acrylic acid or meth~crylic acid as the anionic radical-co"l~ ing moiety such as copolymers with, butyl acrylate, ethyl methacrylate, etc.
Polymeric hair hold polymers also include amphoteric polymers.
One class of amphoteric polymers that can be used are acrylic resins with both cationic and carboxylic groups. Examples include terpolymers of octyl and acrylamide/acrylic acid/ butylaminoethyl methacrylate, copolymers of acrylic acid/betaine methacrylate, and copolymers of octylacrylamide/acrylates.
Also silicone grafted adhesive copolymers can be used, such as those described in which are polysiloxane-co~ ;l-;ng monomers with non-polysiloxane-co"~ ;ng monomers such that said adhesive agent has a weight average molecular weight of at least about 20,000, and comprises from about 1% to about ~0%, by weight, ofthe polysiloxane-containing monomers.
The most pr~..ed polymers comprise an organic backbone.

W094/08~57 2147~7~ ` PCr/US93/09937 especially a carbon backbone such as a vinyl polymeric backbone, and also preferably, a polydimethylsiloxane macromer having a weight average molecular weight of at least about 500, preferably from about I ,000 to about 100,000, more preferably from about 2,000 to about 50,000, most preferably about 5,000 to about 20,000, is grafted to the backbone.

These include vinyl monomers, and other condensation monomers (eg., those that polymerize to form polyamides and polyesters) and ring-opening monomers (eg., ethyl oxazoline and caprolactone).
o The prefelled polymerizable polysiloxane-co-lLai~ g monomer (C
monomer) can be exemplified by the general formula;
x(Y)nSi(R)3 -mZm wherein X is a vinyl group copolymerizable with the A and B monomers; Y is a divalent linking group; R is a hydrogen, hydroxyl lower alkyl (e.g. Cl-C4) aryl,alkaryl, alkoxy, or alkylamino; Z is a monovalent siloxane polymeric moiety having a number average molecular weight of at least about 500, is essentially unreactive under copolymenzation conditions, and is pendant from the vinyl polymeric backbone described above; n is 0 or 1; and m is an integer from I to 3.

The pH of the present compositions generally will be between about 3 and about 9, preferably between about 4 and about 8.
As with all compositions, the present invention should not contain components which unduly interfere with the pe~ ru, ~ance of the compositions.
The hair care compositions of the present invention can be made using conventional formulation and mixing techniques. Exemplary rhethods of making various types of cosmetic compositions are also described more specifically in the Examples below.
Method of Use 2s The hair care compositions of the present invention are used in conventional ways to provide the conditioning and shine benefits of the present invention. Such method of use depends upon the type of composition employed but generally involves application of an effective amount of the product to the hair, which may then be rinsed from the hair or skin (as in the case of shampoosand some conditioning products) or allowed to remain on the hair (as in the caseof spray, mousse, gel, lotion, and tonic products). By "effective amount" is meant an amount sufficient to provide a hair shine benefit. Preferably, hair rinse, mousse, and gel products are applied to wet or damp hair prior to drying of the hair. After such compositions are applied to the hair, the hair is dried and styled 3s in the usual ways of the user. Hair sprays are typically applied to dry hair after it has already been dried and styled. Mousses, tonics and lotions are typically applied to hair in either dry or wet conditioning, depending upon the particular WO 94/08~57 2 1 ~ 7 9 7 4 - 28 PCI`/US93/09937 intent of the formulation face, skin, or eye area in the conventional manners ofusage for those types of products.
Experimental The following procedure is used to determine Glossmeter Specular Reflectance.
A collagen solution is prepaled by dissolving I O.Og of gelatin (17 bloom) in 83.0g DRO (double reverse osmosis) water at 155C, with stirring.
Next, 0.05g propylparaben is dissolved in the gelatin solution. Next, 4.5g lM
NaOH is added, followed by 3.0g of Ceraphyl GA-D (a mixture of 10-15% soy bean oil and 85-90% maleated soy bean oil available from VanDyk lnc., o Belleville, NJ, USA) to form a stable, white emulsion. Next, 1.2g of lactic acid is stired into the emulsion, rt:r~lled hereinafter as Solution A.
A 3.0%, by weight, formaldehyde in water solution, Solution B. is prepared and contained separately from Solution A.
Ceramic tiles, approximately 7.3cm x 7.3cm in size having a black s glazed top and an average peak height ("ro~ghness") of 5.0 -7.0 microns (can be measured with a Rodenstock RM600-2D/3-D Measuring Station (Rodenstock Meterology, Munich, W. Germany)) are prepared and coated with the collagen on their top surfaces. Glossmeter Specular Reflectance of the collagen-coated tile should be from 8.0 - 12.0%.
Specular reflectance of the collagen-coated tile is measured ili7ing a glossmeter, such as a BYK-Gardner "micro-gloss" glossmeter.
Specular reflection measu, ~IIlt;llLS are made as described in ASTM Method D 523at an angle of incidence of 60. Specular reflectance as measured this way is referred to herein as "Glossmeter Specular Reflectance." The tiles can be 2~ prepared as follows. Syringe A is filled with 3.0cc of Solution A. Syringe B is filled with 0.2cc of Solution B. Syringe B contents are emptied onto the top surface of a tile. Syringe A contents are emptied onto the top of Solution B, onthe top surface of the tile. The solutions are mixed for five seconds and spreaduniformly on the top surface of the tile with a spatula. At 30 seconds after mixing, a 1.0 inch inside (li~met~r metal ring is placed on the top surface ofthe tile. The collagen film is allowed to dry for eight hours. The metal ring is removed. The roughness of the collagen coated surface of the tile should be from3.0 to 5.0 microns.
Polysiloxane and spreading agent mixtures are prepared as 3~ described above, at a 1.00% concentration in a compatible diluent at a weight ratio of said polysiloxane fluid to said spreading agent corresponding to that found in the composition. A syringe is used to deposit 0.05cc of the mixture at the center of the area encompassed by the ring on the surface of the collagen-W094/08~57 2I~7~74 PCI/US93/09937 coated tile. The mixture is allowed to drv. Glossmeter Specular Reflectance is measured.
