Description

CLEANSING COMPOSITIONS

Domain of disclosure

This disclosure relates to cleansing compositions and, in particular, hair cleansing compositions which include a limited amount of anionic surfactants and/or silicones.

Disclosure Background

Conventional personal hygiene cleansing compositions such as shampoo, shower gel, facial cleanser, hand soap, etc., generally use sulfate-based surfactants such as sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) or sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES). These surfactants are commonly used because they have good foaming and cleaning properties, can be thickened easily and are relatively inexpensive.

Silicones are also commonly used in personal care products due to their conditioning and cosmetic effects. Silicones, for example, provide the hair with a layer of protection, which allows easy detangling and combing of the hair and gives it a smooth and shiny appearance. However, silicones can build up on hair layer by layer, which can weigh hair down and make it greasy. In addition, silicones do not degrade easily, and therefore their use in personal care products raises environmental concerns.

In addition, consumers want natural compositions for personal hygiene products such as compositions for cleaning the skin and hair. There is a growing demand for durable, safe and environmentally friendly "green" compositions which are free or substantially free of silicones, as well as other synthetic chemical materials for cleaning and/or caring for keratinous materials, including hair and skin. skin, but continue to provide good desirable overall performance and high safety. However, these "green" compositions are often expensive to produce since their materials must be derived from natural sources such as plants, unlike chemicals produced industrially in large volume. Additionally, it is often difficult to achieve an acceptable balance of desirable cleaning composition performance properties when using naturally derived products. For example, adding a particular component to a cleaning composition will often enhance one desired property at the expense of another desired property.

It is also difficult to develop suitable formulations of cleaning products without the use of sulfate-based surfactants such as anionic sulfate-based surfactants, and/or silicones ("sulfate-free" and/or "silicone-free". "). For example, most existing sulfate-free hair cleansers are low lather, opaque, and not easy to thicken. Traditional methods of increasing the viscosity of these formulations, such as salt incorporation, are not effective with sulfate-free surfactants.

Detailed description of the disclosure

Aspects of the disclosure relate to cleansing compositions and in particular, hair cleansing compositions which include a limited amount of anionic surfactants and/or silicones. The inventors have recognized that cleaning compositions containing particular compounds in certain amounts and ratios advantageously allow a reduction in the amount of anionic surfactants, in particular sulphate-based anionic surfactants, while providing cleaning, detangling and conditioning properties. desirable combing. For example, the cleaning compositions can be formulated to have a weight ratio of the total amount of betaine surfactants to the total amount of anionic surfactants, fatty amine surfactants and nonionic surfactants that is 0 .8:1 to 5:1. In some cases, the cleansing composition has an amount of betaine-based surfactants that is greater than the total amount of nonionic surfactants.

The cleaning compositions can be formulated with reduced amounts of anionic surfactants, such as about 5% by weight or less anionic surfactants. The total amount of anionic surfactants in the cleaning compositions can be about 5% by weight or less, about 4.75% by weight or less, about 4.5% by weight or less, about 4 25% by weight or less, about 4% by weight or less, about 3.75% by weight or less, about 3.5% by weight or less, about 3.25% by weight or less, about 3% by weight or less, about 2.75% by weight or less, about 2.5% by weight or less, about 2.25% by weight or less, about 2 wt% or less, about 1.75 wt% or less, about 1.5 wt% or less, about 1.25 wt% or less, about 1 wt% or less, about 0.75 wt% or less, about 0.5 wt% or less, or about 0.25 wt% or less.

The compositions and methods of this disclosure may include, consist of, or consist essentially of the essential elements and limitations of the disclosure described herein, as well as any additional or optional ingredients, components, or limitations set forth herein or which would be useful.

All percentages, parts and ratios herein are based on the total weight of the compositions of this disclosure, unless otherwise stated. All ranges and values disclosed herein are inclusive and combinable. The term "inclusive" for a concentration range means that the limits of the range are included in the defined interval. For example, any value or point described herein that falls within a range described herein may serve as a minimum or maximum value to infer a subrange, etc. Further, all ranges provided are intended to include each specific range within the given ranges, and all combinations of sub-ranges therebetween. Thus, a range of 1 to 5, specifically includes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, as well as sub-ranges 2 to 5, 3 to 5, 2 to 3, 2 to 4, 1 to 4, etc. .

As used herein, the term "at least one" is interchangeable with "one or more" and thus includes individual components as well as mixtures/combinations.

The term "substantially free" or "essentially free" as used herein means that there is less than about 5% by weight of a specific material added to a composition, based on the total weight of the compositions. However, the compositions may include less than about 2% by weight, less than about 1% by weight, less than about 0.5% by weight, less than about 0.1% by weight, less than about 0.01% by weight or none of the materials specified.

The term "active material" as used herein in relation to the percentage amount of an ingredient or raw material, refers to the 100% activity of the ingredient or raw material.

Throughout the disclosure, the phrase "a mixture thereof" may be used following a list of items as shown in the following example where letters A-F represent the items: "one or more items selected from the group consisting of A, B, C, D, E, F, and a mixture thereof. The phrase "a mixture thereof" does not mean that the mixture includes all of A, B, C, D, E and F (although A, B, C, D, E and F may all be included). Rather, it indicates that a mixture of any two or more of A, B, C, D, E and F may be included. In other words, it is equivalent to the phrase "one or more elements selected from the group consisting of A, B, C, D, E, F, and a mixture of any two or more of A, B, C , D, E and F”.

Similarly, the term "a salt thereof" also refers to "salts thereof". Thus, when the disclosure relates to "an element selected from the group consisting of A, B, C, D, E, F, a salt thereof, and a mixture thereof," this indicates that one or more of A, B, C, D and F may be included, one or more of a salt of A, a salt of B, a salt of C, a salt of D, of a salt of E and a salt of F may be included, or that a mixture of any two of A, B, C, D, E, F, a salt of A, a salt of B, a salt of C, a salt of D, a salt of E and a salt of F can be included.

Six volunteers with medium to long hair with curl patterns of 1-3 and sensitivity of 1-3 each received 10 grams (g) of Composition Example A and Reference Composition 1. Specifically, composition example A was applied to the first half of each volunteer's hair, while reference composition 1 was applied to the other half of each volunteer's hair.

The compositions were massaged into the hair and evaluated. Reference Composition 1 produced more foam and provided better foaming properties than Composition Example A during application of the compositions. However, with composition example A, greater creaminess of the foam, greater ease of passage of the fingers and flexibility when rinsing the compositions from the hair were obtained.

The volunteers' hair was also evaluated after the compositions were rinsed from the hair. While the hair was still damp, the hair washed with composition example A exhibited markedly greater softness and suppleness than that washed with reference composition 1.

The hair was then blow-dried and no conditioner applied. After blow-drying the hair, the hair receiving composition example A showed ease of shaping, tactile and visual softness, significantly greater hair discipline, and more weight than with the reference composition. 1. With the reference composition 1, we obtained noticeably drier tips than with the example of composition 1.

Overall, hair receiving Composition Example A exhibited improved softness, suppleness, tip protection, ease of blow-drying, ease of combing, and shine. On the other hand, Composition Example A provided slightly more volume and root lift (which is associated with cleansing hair). Although Composition Example A provided more coating and weight to the hair, the amount of coating and weight provided by Composition Example A was adequate and still acceptable. Additionally, while Reference Composition 1 produced more suds than Composition Example A, the quality and volume of suds produced by Composition Example A remained acceptable.

Example 3

(Compositions to which PEGylated surfactant and sebum are added)

Five composition examples (composition examples F-J) were prepared having similar formulation to the composition of example A, except that a PEGylated surfactant was added to all five compositions. Six other compositions (compositions AS and FS-JS) were prepared by adding sebum to composition examples A and F-J. Compositions AS and FS-JS are representative of the application of Example Compositions A and F-J to a user's hair, which exhibits sebum, for the purpose of evaluating viscosity and lather properties. Formulations for Composition Examples A and F-J and Compositions AS and FS-JS are shown on the following pages in Table 3.

Composition Examples A and FJ and Compositions AS and FS-JS were evaluated for their respective viscosities using a Brooksfield Viscometer/Rheometer using an RV-4 disc spindle at a speed of 5- 20 rpm. There presents a graph showing the viscosity of Composition Examples A and FJ and Compositions AS and FS-JS.

The AS and FS-JS compositions were evaluated for a foam rating. Specifically, a mannequin head was first rinsed with warm water, then 5.0 grams of respective samples of the AS and FS-JS compositions were applied to half of the mannequin's hair and 5 0.0 grams of reference composition 1 on the other half of the hair. Samples of compositions AS and FS-JS and reference composition 1 were foamed and the foam was rated with the assignment of a value from 1 to 5 (5 is the greatest abundance of foam). A graph showing the foaming rating of the AS and FS-JS compositions is provided on the .

Viscosity and foaming measurements were performed on the compositions in Table 3. In general, viscosity can impact the consistent repair, spread, and ease of application of cleansing compositions, such as a shampoo, on the hair. For example, lower viscosities lead to better distribution, better spreading and greater ease of application on the hair. At the same time, higher lather ratings, which generally correlate with higher viscosities, are desirable for a shampoo.

Viscosity and foaming measurements show that the additional presence of PEG-6 caprylic/capric glycerides, PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate and/or PEG-30 glyceryl cocoate (see composition examples G, H and I) gave lower higher viscosity and foam ratings than the ratings for Composition Example A. Even when sebum was present, for example, as in Composition Examples GS, HS, and IS, the viscosities of the compositions did not have much increased compared to the viscosity of the example of composition AS (with sebum). At the same time, the foam ratings for composition examples GS, HS, and IS were much higher than the foam ratings for composition example AS.

As for the presence of laureth-2 and laureth-3 in composition example F, the viscosity of this composition has increased compared to the viscosity of composition example A. However, even in the presence of sebum, the Viscosity of Example Composition FS did not change significantly.

As for the presence of PEG-200 glyceryl stearate, Composition Example J has a higher viscosity than Composition Example A and when sebum was added (see Composition JS), the viscosity increased dramatically. significant compared to the viscosity of composition example J. The viscosity of composition JS was also much higher than the viscosities of all the other compositions (with or without sebum). At the same time, the foam rating of composition JS was higher than that of compositions AS and FS, but it was not as high as that of compositions GS, HS, and IS.
