Technical field

The present invention generally relates to compositions and methods for treating keratinous substrates. More particularly, the present invention relates to a continuous non-permanent shaping or non-permanent shaping of at least one keratinous fiber which provides protection against the repair or extrinsic damage of keratin fibers affected by heat, UV radiation / A polycarbodiimide compound, and in various embodiments, one or more carboxylic acid compounds selected from fatty acids, their salts and mixtures thereof, fatty acids, their salts and their mixtures, which are used for one or more of the sustained retention of the permanent shape To a keratinous treatment composition having at least one additional active substance selected from a cationic polymer and a polycarboxylic acid compound not selected from the mixture.

Keratin substrates, such as keratinous fibers such as hair, skin, nails, and lips are often affected by exogenous factors and endogenous factors, such as aging. In particular, when the keratin substrate is exposed to environmental conditions such as, for example, high humidity or low humidity or ultraviolet radiation from the sun, many of these desirable characteristics of these substrates may be lost and even damaged. The keratin fibers, especially the hair, are subject to chemical damage from harsh extrinsic conditions such as sun, e.g. detergent, decolorizing, relaxing, dyeing and permanent waving, for example heat from a hair dryer or curler And mechanical stress or wear from combing or grooming. In addition, any type of hair may be deteriorated in quality and / or quantity with time due to aging and / or due to factors such as natural oil, sweat, missing skin cells from the scalp, pollution, dust and high humidity conditions .

The factors described above result in hair thinning and / or detrimental to the visual appearance and feel of the hair, leading to body taper and volume reduction. For example, the hair may become dry, lose its gloss or color, or become less manageable under low and high humidity conditions. Under low-humidity conditions, the hair may become dry, and the hair that is dried tends to be less shiny and easier to break. On the other hand, under high humidity conditions, the hair absorbs water and the hair loses its shape, making it unmanageable or unattractive. In addition, the hair may lose its desirable properties due to physical stress on the hair, e.g., combing and application of heat. The magnitude of the results of these factors can vary depending on, for example, the quality, length, style and environmental factors of the hair. As such, these factors generally cause damage to the keratinous fibers by affecting the protective material (cuticle) on the surface of the hair or by internally altering the hair fibers (cortex).

More specifically, exogenous conditions can remove the protective material from the surface of the hair and / or they may interfere with the textured structure of the hair fiber, called the a-structure, which may be accompanied by a decrease in tensile strength. This damage to hair by an exogenous factor becomes more apparent as the hair fibers grow from the roots, because the hair has been exposed to these exogenous factors for longer. In fact, hair has what it can be called a " damage history " as it grows, i.e., the farther away from the root the smaller the tensile strength and the greater the destruction of the resulting a-structure. As a result, consumers continue to pursue products that protect and enhance the appearance of hair, as well as products that reduce adverse environmental conditions, light-damage and detrimental effects of physical stress, such as hair care and hair tonic compositions.

Morphologically, the hair fibers contain four structural units: cuticle, cortex, maternal quality and intercellular cement (Robbins, CR Chemical and Physical Behavior of Human Hair, 3rd Edition, Springer-Verlag )). The cuticle layer is located on the hair surface and consists of flat, overlapping cells (" scales "). These scales are attached to the root ends, facing the distal (tip) ends of the fibers, and forming layers around the hairy cortex. The ply layer comprises a major portion of the hair fibers. The crotch consists of spindle-shaped cells or macrofibrils aligned along the fiber axis. Macrofibrils are additionally made up of microfibrils (highly organized protein units) embedded in a matrix of microcrystalline protein structures. The water quality is a porous region in the center of the fiber. The quality of the water is a common part of the wool fibers, but only in thicker human hair fibers. Finally, intercellular junctional quality is a substance that binds cells together to form a major pathway for diffusion into the fiber.

The mechanical properties of the hair are determined by the cortex. A two-phase model of layered organization has been proposed (Milczarek et al, Colloid Polym. Sci., 270, 1106-1115 (1992)). In this model, a water-impermeable micro filament (" load ") is oriented parallel to the fiber axis. Microfilaments are embedded in a water-permeable matrix (" conjugate "). Within microfilaments, helical protein molecules are arranged in a specific, highly organized manner, indicating crystallinity in the hair fibers.

Similar to other crystalline structures, hair fibers exhibit distinct diffraction patterns when viewed by wide angle X-ray diffraction. In normal non-stretched hair fibers, this pattern is referred to as the " alpha-pattern ". The alpha-pattern or alpha -structure of the hair is characterized by specific repeating intervals (9.8A, 5.1A, and 1.5A). All proteins that exhibit this X-ray diffraction pattern are referred to as? -Proteins, and in particular include human hair and nails, wool and porcupine feathers. When the hair fibers are elongated in water, a new X-ray diffraction pattern appears, called " beta-pattern ", with new spacing (9.8A, 4.65A, and 3.3A).

Damage to the hair can occur in the cuticle and / or the cortex. When normal hair is damaged by heat, chemical treatments, UV radiation and / or physical / mechanical means, many chemical and physical changes are induced in the hair. For example, these damaging processes are known to produce elimination or damage to the cuticle scale or to cleave thioester linkages that retain a hydrophobic 18-methylecycanoic acid (" 18-MEA ") layer in the hair . Thus, while intact hair exhibits significant hydrophobic characteristics, damaged hair is generally observed to exhibit significant hydrophilic characteristics due to removal of surface lipids.

There is therefore a need for a cosmetic product useful for protecting the chemical and physical structure of keratin fibers from harsh extrinsic conditions and for restoring the properties of the hair to its intact state after damage by extrinsic conditions. More particularly, there is a need to find materials or compositions or methods that can provide water-resisting and / or hydrophobic and / or protective barriers to the hair to protect it in the dermis layer. Such protective barriers should not be easily displaced from the substrate throughout the daily daily activities. Also, the protective barrier should be shampooed, cleaned or water-resistant so that the barrier is not easily removed. Cosmetic hair and skin care compositions that are non-invasive, shampooed, cleaned or water-resistant with the advantage that they form deposits that are not even partially transferred to the substrate (e.g., clothing) It is pursued. It is also desirable to have a composition that does not readily " run off " or wash away from the skin or lips when exposed to water, rain or tears. Thus, products that also provide shampoo resistance, cleaning resistance, or water resistance, and a barrier to non-transferable substrates will benefit in the field of cosmetic products. As such, manufacturers of cosmetic products, such as hair and skin care products, are pursuing materials and ingredients that can provide such benefits.

Also, in today's marketplace, many consumers prefer non-permanent hairstyles, that is, the flexibility of such styles obtained through non-permanent stereotyping of the hair. Typically, this non-permanent style is compromised when the hair is wet, especially when the hair is cleaned with water and / or shampoo, or when the hair is exposed to high humidity conditions. Non-permanent styling methods of keratinous fibers include, for example, combing, teasing, braiding, use of hair rollers and thermal styling, optionally using commercially available styling products. Non-limiting examples of thermal styling include blow drying, crimping, curling, and straightening methods using elevated temperatures (e.g., hair setting and heat treatment in a curler, for example) heating, and curling irons and / or hot / steam rollers and / or curling to flat irons).

Although such compositions and methods can provide non-permanent styling of the keratinous fibers, many consumers are also aware of the fact that most of the known materials (e.g., film-forming agents, resins, gums and / (Such as conventional hair sprays, mousses, gels, and lotions) and methods of using these materials and products require longer lasting or sustained styling / styling than those provided by conventional methods. For example, many consumers desire compositions and methods to improve and preserve non-permanent curling or hair styling.

In addition, many people desire compositions and methods that maintain a certain non-permanent shape or keratinous fibers, such as the style of hair. A common way to maintain a particular hairstyle is to apply it after hair styling, typically using hair sprays. Other methods of maintaining the hair style or shape of the keratinous fibers include using mousse, gel and lotion. The materials in these compositions are generally film formers, resins, gums and / or adhesive polymers.

Thus, hair that is stylized / shaped and / curled may be exposed to harmful environmental and physical factors and / or may cause a more persistent or longer lasting shape or style even when wet, washed or shampooed There is a need for materials, compositions and methods.

The following examples illustrate the invention and are non-limiting.

A. Test Procedure

1) Procedures for determining durability using the Humidity Retention (HHCR) test

Hair Treatment

Usually a decolorized hair sample (from IHIP, length 13.5 cm, weight about 0.5 g) was treated with a solution of 4 wt% active material test solution (0.5 g solution / hair g). The hair was combed until the solution was evenly distributed over the surface of the hair sample. The treated hair was then wound onto a spiral rod (0.5 in diameter) and was made as follows:

a) drying or < RTI ID = 0.0 >

b) Dry in an oven at 50 ° C for 30 minutes, then dry overnight at room temperature.

Curl retention measurement

Procedures for hydrophobic testing using contact angle

Hair Treatment

Treated with the composition of the present invention (treatment 1 g / hair g) from a strip or sample of decolorized hair (0.5 cm wide, approximately 0.75 g from IHIP), placed in an oven at 50 캜 for 30 minutes, And dried. The following morning, the hair was washed with DOP shampoo, rinsed, dried in a helmet dryer and measured for residual hydrophobicity.

Hydrophobic measurement

The hydrophobicity of each sample was determined by contact angle measurement using a Biolin Scientific Contact Angle Tensiometer, model C204A. A bundle of 30 to 50 fibers was fixed to create a flat surface. Three microliters of deionized (DI) H2O was placed on the fiber surface and the contact angle was measured for 10 seconds. The values reported below are the average of three measurements using a contact angle at 10 seconds.

B. Example

I. Moisture retention of hair treated with isostearic acid and polycarbodiimide 1

Three hairs are treated with 4% active treatment (product 0.5 g / hair g).

1) 4% of polycarbodiimide 1 in water

2) 2% polycarbodiimide 1 + 2% isostearic acid (neutralized to pH 6 using ammonium hydroxide)

3) 4% isostearic acid in water (neutralized to pH 6 using ammonium hydroxide)

The hair sample was then dried overnight around the spiral curling rod. The results of the humid retention are shown below.

The results show that the hair treated with the composition of the present invention at room temperature has an increased percentage of curl retention, which shows higher resistance to humid and high temperatures when compared to hair treated alone with either of the materials. The compositions of the present invention exhibited higher styling properties as shown by higher curl retention values over time and under higher humidity conditions. On the other hand, hair treated with either of the materials alone showed a lower retention value, indicating a lower styling retention over time and in high humidity. The incorporation of the polycarbodiimide produced coatings on the hair with increased humidity resistance properties achieved through cross-linking interactions with carboxylic acids and hair.

II. Moisture retention of hair treated with isostearic acid and polycarbodiimide 1 with heat

Three specimens were treated with 4% active treatment solution (0.5 g / product g)

2) 2% polycarbodiimide 1 + 2% isostearic acid (neutralized to pH 6 using ammonium hydroxide)

3) 4% isostearic acid in water (neutralized to pH 6 using ammonium hydroxide)

The hair specimen was then dried on a spiral curling rod in a 50 < 0 > C oven for 30 minutes, then further overnight at room temperature. The results of the humid retention are shown below.

The results show that the hair treated with the composition of the present invention at room temperature, dried at 50 DEG C for 30 minutes, and then dried at room temperature has an increased percentage of curl retention, which is comparable to hair treated with either of the materials alone And show higher resistance to moisture and high temperatures. In the case of using heat (drying in an oven), the curl retained by the use of the composition of the present invention was higher than that in Example I without heat. It is expected that the same or similar performance to that obtained according to the present invention can be achieved using other types of heat treatment tools such as a blow dryer (60 占 폚), flat iron (120-250 占 폚), steam / .

III. The moisture content of the hair treated with sodium stearate and polycarbodiimide 1 with heat

Three specimens were treated with 4% active treatment solution (0.5 g / product g)

4% sodium stearate in water

2% sodium stearate + 2% polycarbodiimide 1

4% of polycarbodiimide 1 in water

The hair was then dried on a spiral curling rod in a 50 < 0 > C oven for 30 minutes, then dried overnight at room temperature. The results of the humid retention are shown below.

The results show that the hair treated with the composition of the present invention at room temperature, dried at 50 DEG C for 30 minutes, and then dried at room temperature has an increased percentage of curl retention, which is comparable to hair treated with either of the materials alone And show higher resistance to moisture and high temperatures. It can be expected that the same or similar performance to that obtained according to the present invention can be achieved using other types of heat treatment tools such as blow dryers, flat irons, steam / hot rollers, and the like.

This example demonstrates that cross-linking of fatty acids with carbodiimides and hairs results in better styling and shape memory through elasticity to high humidity.

IV. Hydrophobicity of hair treated with isostearic acid and polycarbodiimide 1

Three hair samples were treated with the following treatment solutions (product 1 g / hair g):

2% isostearic acid in water (pH 6, adjusted with ammonia)

Three hair samples were treated with the following treatment solutions (product 1 g / hair g):

2% sodium stearate in water

2% of polycarbodiimide 1 in water

2% sodium stearate + 2% polycarbodiimide 1

The hair was then placed in a 50 < 0 > C oven for 30 minutes and then allowed to dry overnight at room temperature overnight. After shampooing, these samples showed the following hydrophobicity:

This example illustrates that the reaction between the fatty acid and the poly (carbodiimide) provides hydrophilicity to the very hydrophilic hair (damaged hair) to survive the shampoo treatment.

Procedures for determining durability using the Humidity Retention (HHCR) test

Hair Treatment

Usually a decolorized hair sample (from IHIP, length 13.5 cm, weight about 0.5 g) is treated with a solution of 4 wt% active material test solution (0.5 g of solution / hair g). The hair is combed until the solution is evenly distributed over the surface of the hair sample. The treated hair is then wound on a spiral rod (0.5 in diameter) and is made as follows:

Dry or overnight at room temperature

Dry in oven at 50 ° C for 30 minutes, then dry overnight at room temperature.

Curl retention measurement

The wound hair is removed from the rod and placed in a humidity chamber at 90% RH, 40 ° C for 5 hours. Curl retention% was calculated using the following equation:

Where: Lo = original hair length (fully extended hair length)

Li = initial hair length (length of hair before humidity exposure)

Procedures for determining mechanical properties of treated hair using 3-point bending

Hair Treatment

A strip of normal hair (from IHIP, 1 cm wide, 15 cm long, approximately 2.0 to 2.5 grams of hair) was treated with the test solution (0.5 g of aqueous solution / hair g). The hair was combed until the solution was evenly distributed over the surface of the hair. The treated hair in a straight configuration was then dried overnight at room temperature.

3 point bend measurement

J. Cosmet. The test was performed using a texture analyzer (Model TA-XTPlus, Texture Technologies Corporation) equipped with a hair-loading accessory as described in U.S. Sci., 53, 345-362 (November / December 2002) . The cantilever bend test was performed in the following order: The hair was placed on a 2-point 6 cm wide, the probe indicating the third point was placed at the center of the hair's hair, and 10 of the 10-mm hair- Cycle. The test protocol was as follows:

Test mode = Compression

Preliminary - Test speed = 2 mm / sec

Test speed = 2 mm / sec

Post-test speed = 2 mm / sec

Target mode = distance

Distance = 10 mm

Count = 10

Trigger type = automatic (force)

Starting force = 1 g

After completing the bending of the 10 cycles, a plot of force was generated as a function of the distance of ten deflections. From the plot, the maximum force was determined in the first demould.

A high maximum force indicates that the hair is rigid with strong retention and a lower maximum force indicates that the hair is weaker with weaker retention.

Each experiment was carried out three times, and the results are reported from the average of three experiments.

Procedures for hydrophobic testing using contact angle

Hair Treatment

The strips of discolored hair (from IHIP, 0.5 cm wide, approximately 0.75 g) were treated with the test composition (treatment 1 g / hair g), placed in an oven at 50 캜 for 30 minutes and dried overnight. The following morning, the hair was washed with conventional sulfate-based shampoo (DOP shampoo), rinsed, dried in a helmet dryer, and measured for residual hydrophobicity.

Hydrophobic measurement

The hydrophobicity of each sample was measured by contact angle measurement using a non-raised scientific contact angle tensiometer, model C204A. A bundle of 30 to 50 fibers was fixed to create a flat surface. 3 to 5 uL droplets of DI H ₂ O were placed on the fiber surface and the contact angle was measured for 10 seconds. The values reported below are the average of three measurements using a contact angle at 10 seconds.

Sufficient porous hair or hydrophobic hair will not support the droplet for a total of 10 seconds. In this case, instead report the time for the droplet to be completely absorbed / spreaded.

Mechanical properties of hair treated with Pemulen TR 2 and Carbodilite V02-L2

Normal healthy hair samples (about 2.0-2.5 g) were treated with the following aqueous solution (product 0.5 g / hair g).

4% active Carbodilite V02-L2 in water

To form a clear solution, 0.2% Pemulen TR-2 neutralized to pH 6.5-7 using ammonia and dissolved in water

The results indicate that the hair treated with the composition of the present invention has an increased stiffness that is nearly four times stronger retention than hair treated with either of the materials alone. The incorporation of Carbodilite into the coating increases rigidity through crosslinking. This increased film stiffness translates into improved shaping performance of the coating.

This example demonstrates that crosslinking of the non-silicon carboxylated polymer with the carbodiimide results in higher stiffness / rigidity, style and shape memory through elasticity for high humidity.
