Description

Transparent hair conditioning composition containing friable visible particles

Technical field

The present invention relates to clear hair conditioning compositions comprising friable visible particles.

Background of the Invention

The hair becomes soiled due to its contact with the surrounding environment and the secretion of sebum from the scalp. Hair soiling gives hair a dirty and greasy feel and an unsightly appearance. The soiling of the hair necessitates regular shampooing.

Shampooing cleanses the hair by removing excess dirt and sebum. However, shampooing leaves the hair in a wet, tangled and generally unmanageable condition. Once the hair dries, it leaves the hair in a dry, rough, dull or frizzy, frizzy condition due to the removal of the hair's natural oils and other natural conditioning and moisturizing ingredients. Additionally, the hair becomes statically charged due to dryness, interfering with combing and causing what is commonly referred to as "fly-away hair"; or an undesirable "split ends" phenomenon, especially for long hair.

Various methods have been developed to alleviate these post-washing problems. These methods range from the use of hair conditioners after shampooing, such as leave-on and rinse-off products, to hair conditioning shampoos, which cleanse and condition the hair simultaneously with a single product. While some consumers prefer the ease and convenience of shampoos that include conditioners, most consumers prefer more conventional conditioner formulations, ie, conditioner formulations that are applied as a separate step to, and usually after, shampooing. These consumers, who prefer conventional conditioner formulations, value relatively high conditioning benefits or the convenience of varying the amount of conditioning based on the condition of the hair or section of hair.

Conditioning formulations can be rinse-off or leave-on products, and can be in the form of emulsions, creams, gels, sprays and mousses. Cream, gel and mousse type products allow consumers to easily control the amount and distribution of the product. Because of this, these products are especially suitable for leave-on products.

Consumers prefer leave-on products with aesthetic benefits. From an aesthetic point of view, clear or nearly clear products that include distinct visible particles are particularly desirable. However, conventional leave-on products are not very satisfactory in providing such aesthetics while providing good conditioning benefits and leaving the hair and hands feeling good during use.

Based on the foregoing, it has been desired to provide hair conditioning compositions suitable for leave-on use that provide desirable aesthetic benefits and improved conditioning benefits such as smoothness, softness and reduced friction, ease of application, and leave-in. Gives hair and hands a clean feel.

None of the prior art offers all of the advantages and benefits of the present invention.

"Silicon Compounds", published by Petrarch Systems, Inc. in 1984, provides an extensive (but not exclusive) list of suitable silicone compounds.

Another nonvolatile dispersed silicone that may be particularly useful is silicone gum. The term "silicone gum" as used herein refers to a polyorganosiloxane material having a viscosity at 25°C of 1,000,000 centistokes or greater. It can be seen that the silicone gums described herein may have some overlap with the aforementioned silicone compounds. This overlap is not a limitation on any of these materials. Silicone gums are described by Petrarch and others, including US 4152416 issued May 1, 1979 to Spitzer et al. and Noll, Chemistry and Technology of Silicones by Walter, New York: Academic Press 1968. In addition, there are General Electric Silicone Rubber Product Data Sheets SE30, SE 33, SE 54 and SE 76 describing silicone rubber gum. Typical "silicone gums" have a mass molecular weight in excess of about 200,000, generally between about 200,000 and about 1,000,000. Specific examples include polydimethylsiloxane, poly(dimethylsiloxane, methylvinylsiloxane) copolymer, poly(dimethylsiloxane, diphenylsiloxane, methylvinylsiloxane) base siloxane) copolymers, and mixtures thereof.

Also useful are silicone gums, which are highly crosslinked polymeric siloxane systems. This crosslinking is introduced during the manufacture of silicone resins by mixing trifunctional or tetrafunctional silanes with monofunctional or difunctional silanes or monofunctional and difunctional silanes. It is well understood in the art that the degree of crosslinking required to obtain a silicone resin will vary with the particular silane units incorporated into the silicone resin. In general, silicone materials are considered to have a sufficient amount of trifunctional and tetrafunctional siloxane monomer units to have a sufficient degree of crosslinking so as to dry into a hard or strong film. Silicone resin. The ratio of oxygen atoms to silicon atoms in a particular silicone material is indicative of the level of crosslinking. In the present invention, silicone materials having at least about 1.1 oxygen atoms per silicon atom are typically silicone resins in the present invention. Preferably the ratio of oxygen atoms:silicon atoms is at least about 1.2:1.0. Silanes used in the manufacture of silicone resins include: monomethyl-, dimethyl-, trimethyl-, monophenyl-, diphenyl-, methylphenyl-, monovinyl-, and methylvinyl chlorosilanes and tetrachlorosilanes, the most commonly used are methyl substituted silanes. Preferred resins are GE SS4230 and SS4267 available from General Electric. Typically, commercially available silicone resins are supplied dissolved in low viscosity volatile or nonvolatile silicone fluids. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the silicone resins used herein should be provided in such dissolved form and incorporated into the compositions of the present invention. Without being bound by theory, it is believed that silicone resins enhance the deposition of other silicone compounds on the hair and enhance the shine of the hair at high refractive index values.

Other useful silicone resins are silicone resin powders, such as the material with the CTFA designation polymethylsilsequioxane, which is commercially available from Toshiba Silicones under the name Tospearl ^™ .

Methods for making these silicone compounds can be found in "Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Engineering", Volume 15, Second Edition, pages 204-308, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1989.

Silicone materials, particularly silicone resins, can be conveniently identified according to an abbreviated nomenclature system, also known to those skilled in the art as the "MTDQ" nomenclature. In this nomenclature system, siloxanes are described according to the occurrence of the various siloxane monomer units that make up the siloxane. Briefly, the symbol M represents the monofunctional unit (CH ₃ ) ₃ SiO _0.5 ; D represents the difunctional unit (CH ₃ ) ₂ SiO; T represents the trifunctional unit (CH ₃ ) SiO _1.5 ; Q represents the tetrafunctional unit SiO ₂ . Primers on element symbols, such as M', D', T', and Q' represent non-methyl substituents and must be specifically defined at each occurrence. Typical alternative substituents include vinyl, phenyl, amino, hydroxy, and the like groups. In the MDTQ nomenclature system, the molar ratios of the various units are expressed either by a symbolic subscript indicating the total number (or average) of units of each type in the siloxane, or by specific indicated ratios combined with molecular weight, thus completing the A description of the silicone material. A high level of crosslinking is indicated by a high molar amount of T, Q, T' and/or Q' relative to the molar amount of D, D', M and/or M' in a silicone resin. However, as previously stated, the overall level of crosslinking can also be expressed in terms of the ratio of oxygen to silicon.

The silicone resins used in the present invention are preferably MQ, MT, MTQ, MQ and MDTQ resins. Accordingly, the preferred siloxane substituent is methyl. Particularly preferred are MQ resins wherein the M:Q ratio is from about 0.5:1.0 to about 1.5:1.0 and the resin has an average molecular weight of from about 1,000 to about 10,000.

Particularly suitable silicone compounds for the present invention are nonvolatile silicone oils such as dimethicone and dimethiconol having a molecular weight of from about 200,000 to about 600,000. These silicone compounds may be incorporated into the compositions of the present invention as a solution in silicone oil; the silicone oil may be volatile or non-volatile.

Commercially available silicone compounds useful in the present invention include polydimethylsiloxane available from Dow Corning under the tradename DC345, Generic Electric under the tradename SE 30, SE 33, SE54 and SE 76 Polydimethylsiloxane gum solution, dimethiconol from Dow Corning under the trade names DCQ2-1403 and DCQ2-1401, and emulsion polymerization from Toshiba Silicone as described in GB2303857 of dimethiconol.

Carriers useful in the present invention include water and aqueous solutions of lower alkanols. The lower alkanols used herein are monohydric alcohols of 1 to 6 carbons, more preferably ethanol and isopropanol.

Preferably, the aqueous carrier is substantially water. Deionized water is preferably used.

Thickener

The compositions of the present invention may also comprise a viscosifying agent selected from anionic polymers, nonionic polymers, and mixtures thereof. In a preferred embodiment, the composition of the present invention contains a thickener to prepare a gel with a certain viscosity. In such preferred embodiments, the thickener is selected such that the compositions of the present invention have a viscosity of from about 1,000 to about 100,000 cps, preferably such that the compositions have a viscosity of from about 2,000 to about 50,000 cps. Viscosity, as described herein, may suitably be measured by a Brookfield RVT with spindle #4, #5, #6 or #7 (depending on the viscosity and properties of the composition) at 20°C at a speed of 20 revolutions per minute.

In the present invention, the thickener is preferably used in an amount of about 0.001% to about 5% by weight of the composition, more preferably about 0.05% to about 3% by weight of the composition.

The carboxylic acid/carboxylate copolymer of the present invention is a hydrophobically modified crosslinked copolymer of carboxylic acid and alkyl carboxylate, and has amphiphilicity. These carboxylic acid/carboxylate copolymers are obtained by copolymerization of 1) carboxylic acid monomers such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic acid, maleic anhydride, itaconic acid, fumaric acid, crotonic acid or alpha-chloroacrylic acid; 2) carboxylate esters with alkyl chains of 1 to about 30 carbon atoms, and preferably 3) crosslinkers of the formula:

Preparation

If polymeric materials are included in the composition, such as thickeners, amphoteric conditioning polymers, the polymeric materials are dispersed in water at room temperature, mixed with vigorous agitation, and heated to about 50°C. The resulting mixture is cooled to below 40°C, and then a neutralizing agent is added to the resulting mixture. A triblender may be used if desired to disperse the polymeric material.

After neutralization, the remaining components are added to the mixture. If a cationic surfactant is included in the formulation, the cationic surfactant is dissolved in hot water above 70°C under stirring, and then cooled to below 40°C to prepare a premix. Add the resulting premix to the above mixture.
