Description

TRANSPARENT HAIR CONDITIONING COMPOSITION COMPRISING
BREAKABLE VISIBLE PARTICLE
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to transparent hair conditioning compositions comprising a breakable visible particle.
BACKGROUND
Human hair becomes soiled due to its contact with the surrounding i s environment and from sebum secreted by the scalp. The soiling of the hair causes it to have a dirty or greasy feel, and an unattractive appearance. The soiling of the hair necessitates shampooing with regularity.
Shampooing cleans the hair by removing excess soil and sebum.
However, shampooing can leave the hair in a wet, tangled, and generally ?o unmanageable state. Once the hair dries, it is often left in a dry, rough, lusterless, or frizzy condition due to removal of the hair's natural oils and other natural conditioning and moisturizing components. The hair can further be left with increased levels of static upon drying which can interfere with combing and result in a condition commonly referred to as "fly-away hair", or contribute to an 2s undesirable phenomena of "split ends", particularly for long hair.
A variety of approaches have been developed to alleviate these after-shampoo problems. These approaches range from post-shampoo application of hair conditioner such as leave-on and rinse-off products, to hair conditioning shampoos which attempt to both cleanse and condition the hair from a single 3o product. Although some consumers prefer the ease and convenience of a shampoo which includes conditioners, a substantial proportion of consumers prefer the more conventional conditioner formulations which are applied to the hair as a separate step from shampooing, usually subsequent to shampooing.
Such consumers who prefer the conventional conditioner formulations value the 3s relatively higher conditioning effect, or convenience of changing the amount of conditioning depending on the condition of hair or portion of hair.

Conditioning formulations can be in the form of rinse-off products or leave-on products, and can be in the form of an emulsion, cream, gel, spray, and mousse. Products in the form of cream, gel, and mousse are suitable in that the consumer can easily control the amount and distribution of the product. As such, s these products are particularly suitable for leave-on products.
Leave-on products having aesthetic advantages are preferred by the consumer. Transparent or nearly transparent products including distinct visible particles are particularly preferred with regard to aesthetics. However, conventional leave-on products are not completely satisfactory in providing such to aesthetic effects while delivering good conditioning benefit and good feel on the hair and hands upon usage.
Based on the foregoing, there remains a desire to provide hair conditioning compositions suitable for leave-on use which provide favorable aesthetic benefits, improved conditioning benefits to the hair such as ~s smoothness, softness, and reduction of friction, are easy to apply on the hair, and leave the hair and hands with a clean feeling.
None of the existing art provides all of the advantages and benefits of the present invention.
2o SUMMARY
The present invention is directed to a hair conditioning composition comprising:
(1) a breakable visible particle;

(2) a silicone compound; and 2s (3) an aqueous carrier;
wherein the composition is transparent.
These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become evident to those skilled in the art from a reading of the present disclosure.

SILICONE COMPOUND
is The compositions of the present invention comprise a silicone compound.
The silicone compounds useful herein include volatile soluble or insoluble, or nonvolatile soluble or insoluble silicone conditioning agents. By soluble what is meant is that the silicone compound is miscible with the carrier of the composition so as to form part of the same phase. By insoluble what is meant is 2o that the silicone forms a separate, discontinuous phase from the carrier, such as in the form of an emulsion or a suspension of droplets of the silicone. The silicone compounds herein may be made by any suitable method known in the art, including emulsion polymerization. The silicone compounds may further be incorporated in the present composition in the form of an emulsion, wherein the 2s emulsion is made my mechanical mixing, or in the stage of synthesis through emulsion polymerization, with or without the aid of a surfactant selected from anionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, and mixtures thereof.
The silicone compounds for use herein will preferably have a viscosity of 3o from about 1,000 to about 2,000,000 centistokes at 25°C, more preferably from about 10,000 to about 1,800,000, and even more preferably from about 100,000 to about 1,500,000. The viscosity can be measured by means of a glass capillary viscometer as set forth in Dow Corning Corporate Test Method CTM0004, July 20, 1970. Silicone compound of high molecular weight may be 3s made by emulsion polymerization. Suitable silicone fluids include polyalkyl siloxanes, polyaryl siloxanes, polyalkylaryl siloxanes, polyether siloxane copolymers, and mixtures thereof. Other nonvolatile silicone compounds having hair conditioning properties can also be used.
The silicone compounds herein are preferably used at levels by weight of s the composition of from about 0.1 % to about 60%, more preferably from about 0.1 % to about 40%.
The silicone compounds herein also include polyalkyl or polyaryf siloxanes with the following structure (1) R s Rs3 Rss Z8 Si-O~Si-O~Si-Z$
Rs3 Rss p Rss (I) wherein R93 is alkyl or aryl, and x is an integer from about 7 to about 8,000.
Z$
represents groups which block the ends of the silicone chains. The alkyl or aryl groups substituted on the siloxane chain (R93) or at the ends of the siloxane chains ZB can have any structure as long as the resulting silicone remains fluid at room temperature, is dispersible, is neither irritating, toxic nor otherwise harmful 1s when applied to the hair, is compatible with the other components of the composition, is chemically stable under normal use and storage conditions, and is capable of being deposited on and conditions the hair. Suitable Ze groups include hydroxy, methyl, methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, and aryloxy. The two R93 groups on the silicon atom may represent the same group or different groups.
2o Preferably, the two R93 groups represent the same group. Suitable R93 groups include methyl, ethyl, propyl, phenyl, methylphenyl and phenylmethyl. The preferred silicone compounds are polydimethylsiloxane, polydiethyisiloxane, and polymethylphenylsiloxane. Polydimethylsiloxane, which is also known as dimethicone, is especially preferred. The polyalkylsiloxanes that can be used 2s include, for example, polydimethylsiloxanes. These silicone compounds are available, for example, from the General Electric Company in their Viscasil~
and SF 96 series, and from Dow Corning in their Dow Corning 200 series.
Polyalkylaryl siloxane fluids can also be used and include, for example, polymethylphenylsiloxanes. These siloxanes are available, for example, from 3o the General Electric Company as SF 1075 methyl phenyl fluid or from Dow Corning as 556 Cosmetic Grade Fluid.
Especially preferred, for enhancing the shine characteristics of hair, are highly arylated silicone compounds, such as highly phenylated polyethyl silicone having refractive index of about 1.46 or higher, especially about 1.52 or higher.
When these high refractive index silicone compounds are used, they should be mixed with a spreading agent, such as a surfactant or a silicone resin, as described below to decrease the surface tension and enhance the film forming s ability of the material.
The silicone compounds that can be used include, for example, a polypropylene oxide modified polydimethylsiioxane although ethylene oxide or mixtures of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide can also be used. The ethylene oxide and polypropylene oxide level should be sufficiently low so as not to to interfere with the dispersibility characteristics of the silicone. These material are also known as dimethicone copolyols.
Other silicone compounds include amino substituted materials. Suitable alkylamino substituted silicone compounds include those represented by the following structure (II) C H3 R9a HO~Si-O~Si-O~H

Suitable amino substituted silicone fluids include those represented by the 2o formula ('III) (Rs')aG~-a Si--(OSIGZ)p3 (OSiGb(Rs')2_b)pa-O-SiG3_a(Rs')a (I!I) in which G is chosen from the group consisting of hydrogen, phanyl, OH, C,-C8 alkyl and preferably methyl; a denotes 0 or an integer from 1 to 3, and preferably equals 0; b denotes 0 or 1 and preferably equals 1; the sum p3+p4 is a number 25 from 1 to 2,000 and preferably from 50 to 150, p3 being able to denote a number from 0 to 1,999 and preferably from 49 to 149 and p'' being able to denote an integer from 1 to 2,000 and preferably from 1 to 10; R9' is a monovalent radical of formula Cq3H2q3L in which q3 is an integer from 2 to 8 and L is chosen from the groups -N(Rss)CH2 CH2 N(R~)2 -N ( Rss) -N(Rse)3X, -N(Rss)CHz CH2 NRs6H2X, 5 in which Rss is chosen from the group consisting of hydrogen, phenyl, benzyl, a saturated hydrocarbon radical, preferably an alkyl radical containing from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and X' denotes a halide ion.
An especially preferred amino substituted silicone corresponding to formula (II) is the polymer known as "trimethylsilylamodimethicone" wherein Rs4 is CH3.
Other amino substituted silicone polymers which can be used are represented by the formula (V):

"Silicon Compounds" distributed by Petrarch Systems, Inc., 1984, provides an extensive, though not exclusive, listing of suitable silicone compounds.
Another nonvolatile dispersed silicone that can be especially useful is a silicone gum. The term "silicone gum", as used herein, means a potyorganosiloxane material having a viscosity at 25°C of greater than or equal to 1,000,000 centistokes. It is recognized that the silicone gums described herein can also have some overlap with the above-disclosed silicone compounds. This overlap is not intended as a limitation on any of these s materials. Silicone gums are described by Petrarch, and others including U.S.
Patent No. 4,152,416, to Spitzer et al., issued May 1, 1979 and Noll, Walter, Chemistry and Technology of Silicones, New York: Academic Press 1968. Also describing silicone gums are General Electric Silicone Rubber Product Data Sheets SE 30, SE 33, SE 54 and SE 76. The "silicone gums" will typically have to a mass molecular weight in excess of about 200,000, generally between about 200,000 and about 1,000,000. Specific examples include polydimethyisiloxane, poly(dimethylsiloxane methyivinylsiloxane) copolymer, poly(dimethylsiloxane diphenylsiloxane methyivinylsiloxane) copolymer and mixtures thereof.
Afso useful are silicone resins, which are highly crosslinked polymeric ~ s siloxane systems. The crosslinking is introduced through the incorporation of tri functional and tetra-functional silanes with mono-functional or di-functional, or both, silanes during manufacture of the silicone resin. As is well understood in the art, the degree of crosslinking that is required in order to result in a silicone resin will vary according to the specific silane units incorporated into the silicone 2o resin. In general, silicone materials which have a sufficient level of trifunctional and tetrafunctional siioxane monomer units, and hence, a sufficient level of crosslinking, such that they dry down to a rigid, or hard, flm are considered to be silicone resins. The ratio of oxygen atoms to silicon atoms is indicative of the level of crossiinking in a particular silicone material. Silicone materials which 2s have at least about 1.1 oxygen atoms per silicon atom will generally be silicone resins herein. Preferably, the ratio of oxygenailicon atoms is at least about 1.2:1Ø Silanes used in the manufacture of silicone resins include monomethyl-, dimethyl-, trimethyl-, monophenyl-, Biphenyl-, methylphenyl-, monovinyl-, and methylvinylchlorosilanes, and tetrachlorosilane, with the methyl substituted 3o silanes being most commonly utilized. Preferred resins are offered by General Electric as GE SS4230 and SS4267. Commercially available silicone resins will generally be supplied in a dissolved form in a low viscosity volatile or nonvolatile silicone fluid. The silicone resins for use herein should be supplied and incorporated into the present compositions in such dissolved form, as will be 3s readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Without being bound by theory, it is WO 00/06090 PCT/US98/1585:t believed that the silicone resins can enhance deposition of other silicone compounds on the hair and can enhance the glossiness of hair with high refractive index volumes.
Other useful silicone resins are silicone resin powders such as the material given the CTFA designation polymethylsilsequioxane, which is commercially available as TospearlT"" from Toshiba Silicones.
The method of manufacturing these silicone compounds, can be found in Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Engineering, Volume 15, Second Edition, pp. 204-308, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1989.
Io Silicone materials and silicone resins in particular, can conveniently be identified according to a shorthand nomenclature system well known to those skilled in the art as the "MDTQ" nomenclature. Under this system, the silicone is described according to the presence of various siloxane monomer units which make up the silicone. Briefly, the symbol M denotes the mono-functional unit ~s (CH3)3SIOo5; D denotes the difunctional unit (CH3)2Si0; T denotes the trifunctional unit (CH3)Si0,.5; and Q denotes the quadri- or tetra-functional unit Si02. 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 alternate substituents include groups such as vinyl, phenyl, amino, hydroxyl, etc.
2o The molar ratios of the various units, either in terms of subscripts to the symbols 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 system.
Higher relative molar amounts of T, Q, T' and/or Q' to D, D', M andlor or M' in a 2s silicone resin is indicative of higher levels of crosslinking. As discussed before, however, the overall level of crosslinking can also be indicated by the oxygen to silicon ratio.
The silicone resins for use herein which are preferred are MQ, MT, MTQ, MQ and MDTQ resins. Thus, the preferred silicone substituent is methyl.
3o Especially preferred are MQ resins wherein the M:Q 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 1000 to about 10,000.
Particularly suitable silicone compounds herein are non-volatile silicone oils having a molecular weight of from about 200,000 to about 600,000 such as 3s Dimethicone, and Dimethiconol. These silicone compounds can be incorporated in the composition as silicone oils solutions; the silicone oils being volatile or non-volatile.
Commercially available silicone compounds which are useful herein include Dimethicone with tradenarne DC345 available from Dow Corning Corporation, Dimethicone gum solutions with tradenames SE 30, SE 33, SE 54 and SE 76 available from General Electric, Dimethiconol with tradenames DCQ2-1403 and DCQ2-1401 available from Dow Corning Corporation, and emulsion polymerized Dimethiconol available from Toshiba Silicone as described in GB application 2,303,857.

In a preferred embodiment, a 35 viscosifying agent is comprised in the present composition to make a gel having WO 00/06090 PCT/US98/1~854 certain viscosity. In such preferred embodiment, the viscosifying agent is selected so that the composition of the present composition has a viscosity of from about 1,000 cps to about 100,000 cps, preferably from about 2,000 cps to about 50,OOOcps.
