Description

CLEANING EMULSIONS TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to compositions for personal cleansing in the form of oil-in-water emulsions. These emulsions are stable during storage, however they have the characteristic of desolling, ie breaking, by contact with the skin to release the oil phase for cleaning. These compositions have the advantage of providing improved cleaning efficacy without irritating the skin or leaving the skin feeling stiff or irritated.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Personal cleansing compositions for removing dirt, oil, makeup, and the like from the skin are widely used today and are manufactured in a variety of forms such as creams, lotions, gels, sticks, and astringents. Cream cleaners have hundreds of years. Some of the first compositions were based on an animal or vegetable fat oil with water and a fragrance. The fat or oil component of these first formulas was useful to remove oily waste from the skin, since the water component provided a softer and lighter feel and made the product easier to remove. These first compositions were unstable since the fat or oil component was readily separated from the water component. These early compositions also had a life in short storage as they ran rancidly quickly. These first compositions were finally improved by the addition of emulsifiers, stabilizers, antioxidants, and preservatives. Surfactants were also added to these compositions in an attempt to further improve their cleaning ability. Cleaning compositions in the form of oil-in-water emulsions are preferred over water-in-oil emulsions since the former generally have a non-greasy cleaning sensation, lighter than the latter. However, effective personal cleansing compositions are difficult to formulate as oil-in-water emulsions. An oil-in-water emulsion cleaner typically uses an emulsifier to keep the oil and water phases ernulsed together for storage stability. This stability can actually impede the ability to clean of the emulsion if the oil phase is held very tight and is not released and is available during the cleaning process. In addition, surfactants added to improve the cleaning ability of an emulsion cleaner can actually reduce the ability to clean, since the surfactant can also function as an emulsifier, thus giving both the surfactant and the oil phase less availability to clean. One solution to this problem has been the development of non-emulsified two phase cleaners. These cleaners are not aesthetically attractive, both visually and tactically, and have the disadvantage of requiring vigorous shaking of the product before use. The Patent of E.U.fl. No. 5,004,590, to Lochhead et al., Issued April 2, 1991, discloses oil-in-water emulsions containing mineral oil which also contain long-chain, interlaced polymers, whereby the emulsion is broken by contact with human skin. . However, this document does not teach the criticality of avoiding emulsifying surfactants, which can adversely affect the performance of a cleaning type emulsion. The compositions of the present invention comprise non-ernulsifying, detersive surfactants having certain requirements for HLB, as will be described below. The Patent of E.U.fl. No. 5,011,681, to Ciotti et al., Issued April 30, 1991, discloses oil-in-water emulsions for removing makeup comprising a surfactant with an HLB greater than about 10, a polyalphaolefin, and a carboxylic acid copolymer containing substituents of C10-C30. Nevertheless, the document does not teach that a cleaning emulsion without polyalphaolefin can be obtained. In fact, the cleaning emulsions of the present invention are obtained without depending on a polyalphaolefin and must be free of this component. The compositions of the present invention utilize a carboxylic acid copolymer, as described herein, as an emulsifier. This emulsifier provides sufficient stability for storage of the product, and still allows the product to de-ernulsify or break during contact with the skin. In addition, these compositions utilize a non-emulsifying detersive surfactant to provide a boost in cleaning without interfering with the release of the oil phase during the cleaning process. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide compositions that are useful for personal cleansing. Another object of the present invention is to provide oil-in-water emulsions that are stable and also desernulsify during contact with the skin. Another object of the present invention is to provide personal cleansing methods. These and other objects of this invention will be apparent in view of the following description.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a composition for personal cleansing in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion which is free of 1-alkanes having 10 or more carbon atoms, comprising: (a) about 0.01% a about 5% by weight of a copolymer comprising a monomer selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid, acrylic acid salts, substituted C 1 -C 4 alkyl acrylic acid, substituted C 1 -C 4 alkyl acrylic acid salts, C 1 -C 4 alkyl of substituted acrylic acid C 1 -C 4 alkyl, rnaleic anhydride, and mixtures thereof; and a monomer selected from the group consisting of C 10 -C 3 C alkyl esters of acrylic acid, C 10 -C 3 D alkyl esters of substituted C 1 -C 4 alkyl acrylic acid, and mixtures thereof, (b) around from 0.05% to approximately 20% by weight of a non-emulsifying detersive surfactant having an HLB greater than about 11, (c) from about 0.5% to about 40% by weight of an oil selected from the group consisting of of mineral oil, petrolatum, branched chain hydrocarbons of C7-C40, alcoholic esters of C1-C30 of carboxylic acids of C1-C30, onoglycerides of carboxylic acids of C1-C30, diglycerides of carboxylic acids of C1-C30, triglycerides of acids carboxylic acids of C1-C30, monoesters of ethylene glycol of carboxylic acids of C1-C30, diesters of ethylene glycol of carboxylic acids of C1-C30, monoesters of propylene glycol of carboxylic acids of C1-C30, diesters of propylene glycol licol of C 1 -C 3 carboxylic acids, sugar esters of C 1 -C 30 carboxylic acids, sugar polyesters of C 1 -C 30 carboxylic acids, polydialkylsiloxanes, polydiarylsiloxanes, polyalkarylsiloxanes, cyclomethicones having from 3 to 9 silicon atoms, vegetable oils , hydrogenated vegetable oils, polypropylene glycols, C4-C20 alkyl ethers of polypropylene glycol, esters of C 1 -C 20 carboxylic acids of polypropylene glycols, dialkyl C 8 -C 30 ethers, and mixtures thereof, and (d) of about 20% to about 99.44% by weight of water. The present invention also relates to personal cleansing methods using these compositions. All percentages and ratios used herein are by weight and all measurements are made at 25 ° C or room temperature, unless otherwise designated. The invention may comprise, consist of, or consist essentially of, the essentials as well as the optional ingredients and additional components described herein.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The oil-in-water emulsion compositions of the present invention are useful for personal cleansing, particularly of the face and neck areas. These compositions are de-emulsified when placed in contact with the skin, i.e., they break or separate. Without being limited to the theory, it is believed that the electrolytes present in the skin interact with the carboxylic acid copolymer, thus causing the emulsion to desernulsify, thus releasing the oil phase to dissolve and help to clean oily waste from the skin. Also, since these emulsions contain a non-emulsifying detersive surfactant component, the cleaning power is obtained from them. The compositions of the present invention are free of polyrneized 1-alkanes having 10 or more carbon atoms, which means that these compositions do not contain appreciable amounts of these materials, ie, not more than about 1%. The polymerized 1-alkanes having 10 or more carbon atoms are polymers of alkanes such as 1-decene, 1-undecane, 1-dodecane, 1-tridecane and the like. An example of such material is? Oli (l-decene). The emulsion compositions of the present invention may be in the form of "rinse" compositions unlike of cleaners "that do not need water" and "that can be left uncleaned". By "rinse" is meant that these compositions are used in a cleaning process wherein the composition is finally cleaned or washed from the skin with water to complete the cleaning procedure. The emulsion compositions may also be in the form of "cleansing" compositions that are distinguished from "uncleaned" compositions. "Cleansing" compositions are typically removed by cleaning with a device such as a cotton ball, a cotton pad, a handkerchief, or a towel, and the like. The term "pharmaceutically acceptable", as used herein, means that the compositions, topical carriers, and components thereof are of sufficiently high purity and are stable for use in contact with human skin without undue toxicity, incompatibility, instability , allergic response and the like. The term "physical stability", as used herein, means that the compositions of the present invention exhibit physical characteristics such as viscosity retention and resistance to phase separation. For example, the compositions of the present invention typically maintain their physical stability for at least 3 months at 40 ° C.

COPOLIMERO The compositions of the present invention comprise from about 0.01% to about 5%, preferably from about 0.05% to about 0.75%, and most preferred from about 0.10% to about 0.50% of a copolymer comprising a first nonnorman and a second rnonornero, wherein the first mononer is selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid, acrylic acid salts, substituted C 1 -C 4 alkyl acrylic acid, substituted C 1 -C 4 alkyl acrylic acid salts, alkyl esters of C1-C4 of substituted acrylic acid substituted C1-C4 alkyl, maleic anhydride, and mixtures thereof; and the rnonornero is a long-chain ester monomer selected from the group consisting of C 10 -C 30 alkyl esters of acrylic acid, C 10 -C 30 alkyl esters of substituted C 1 -C 4 alkyl acrylic acid, and mixtures of the same. The salts of the acids described in the preceding sentence are selected from the group consisting of alkali metal salts, alkali metal salts, ammonium salts, and salts of mono-, di-, tri-, and tetra-alk. ammonium The substituted C 1 -C 4 alkyl acrylic acids described in the first sentence of this paragraph include rnetacrylic acids, ethacrylic acids, and the like, wherein the alkyl substituent may be at the C 2 or C 3 position of the acid molecule. The C1-C4 alkyl esters described in the first sentence of this paragraph include methyl and ethyl esters as well as branched C3 and C4 esters. Preferably, these copolymers are crosslinked and further comprise an interlacing agent which is a polyalkenyl polyether of a polyhedral alcohol containing more than one alkenyl ether group per molecule, wherein the polyhedral origin alcohol contains at least 3 carbon atoms and therefore minus 3 hydroxyl groups. Preferred crosslinking agents are those selected from the group consisting of allylic ethers of sucrose and allylic ethers of pentaerythritol, and mixtures thereof. These polymers useful in the present invention are described in more detail in the U.S. Patent. No. 5,087,445, to Haffey et al., Issued February 11, 1992; Patent of E.U.fl. No. 4,509,949, to Huang et al., Issued April 5, 1985; Patent of E.U.fl. No. 2,798,053, to Brown, issued July 2, 1957; which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. See also, CTFfl International Cosmetic Ingredient Dec ion ry, fourth edition, 1991, pp. 12 and 80; which is also incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Examples of useful commercially available copolymers include copolymers of alkyl acrylates with one or more monomers of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, or one of its short chain esters (ie, C1-C4 alcohol), wherein the crosslinking agent is a allyl ether of sucrose or pentaerythritol. These copolymers are known as C10-30 alkyl acrylate acrylate crosslinkers / polymers and are commercially available as Carbopol * 1342, Permulen TR-1, and Permulen TR-2, from B.F. Goodrich. The polymers are prepared, for example, by polymerizing a preponderant amount of a carboxylic acid monomer and a minor amount of a long chain acrylate ester monomer. The amounts of the carboxyl monomer can be in the range of 50 to 99% by weight, preferably 80 to 99% by weight, and especially 90 to 99% by weight, while the amounts of the acrylate ester can be on the scale of 1 to 50% by weight, preferably 1 to 20% by weight, especially 2 to 10% by weight. The amounts of the carboxylic monomer and the long chain acrylate ester are based on the combined weight of both components. It should be understood that more than one carboxylic rnonomer and more than one long chain acrylate ester can be used. The polymers can also be entangled by the inclusion of a suitable interlacing agent in amounts of about 0.1% to 4%, preferably 0.2 to 1% by weight based on the combined weight of the carboxylic monomer and the acrylate ester. The production of the copolymers of this invention employs a monomer mixture containing two essential mono-essential ingredients, each in certain proportions, one being a monomeric carboxylic monomer and the other being an acrylic ester having a long-chain aliphatic group. Optionally, an entanglement agent is included in the monomer mixture. The copolymers of a carboxylic monomer and an acrylic ester having a long-chain aliphatic group can have therein a higher proportion of a lower alkyl ester of C 1 -C 4 of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, or ethacrylic acid, in amounts of 0-40% by weight, preferably 5-30%, based on the total monornero. The carboxylic monomers useful in the production of the copolymers of this invention are the olefinically unsaturated carboxylic acids which contain at least one double olefinic bond of carbon to activated carbon, and at least one carboxyl group, i.e., an acid which contains a double olefinic bond that functions in the polymerization due to its presence in the mononer molecule either at the alpha-beta position with respect to a carboxyl group or as part of a terminal methylene group. The anhydrides can also be used, especially maleic anhydride. Preferred carboxyl monomers for use in this invention are the rnononoolefinic acrylic acids which have the general structure R wherein R is a substituent selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, hydroxyl, lactone, lactam, and the cyano group (-C = N), monovalent alkyl radicals, monovalent aryl radicals, monovalent aralkyl radicals, monovalent alkaryl radicals and monovalent cycloaliphatic radicals. Of this kind, acrylic acid is very preferred because of its generally lower cost, availability, and ability to form superior polymers. Another particularly preferred carboxylic monomer is rnaleic anhydride. Preferred acrylic ester monomers having long chain aliphatic groups are acrylic acid derivatives represented by the formula: R1 or CH2 = C-C-0-R2 wherein R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, methyl and ethyl groups and R2 is selected from the group consisting of alkyl groups having from 8 to 30 carbon atoms and oxyalkylene and carbonyloxyalkylene groups, preferably alkyl groups of 10 to 30 carbon atoms, most preferably alkyl groups of 10 to 22 carbon atoms. The oxyalkylene and carbonyloxyalkylene groups are particularly oxyethylene and carbonyloxyethylene groups. Representative top alkyl acrylic esters are decyl acrylate, lauryl acrylate, stearyl acrylate, behenyl acrylate and nickel acrylate, and the corresponding methacrylates. The copolymers described herein, when tested in the 0.2% aqueous solution, have a viscosity of 100 to 50,000 cps, preferably 250 to 40,000 cps, and especially 500 to 35,000 cps. In the 1.0% aqueous mucilage form, they have a viscosity of 1,000 to 100,000 cps, preferably 2,000 to 90,000 cps, and especially 2,500 to 85,000 cps. These viscosities are measured at approximately 25 ° C using a Brookfield RVT viscometer model at a screw speed of 20 rpm on the pH scale of 7.2 to 7.6. The viscosity of these mucilages is an indication of the molecular weight of the modified polymers described herein which are characterized as being slightly entangled. The preferred interlacing agent, if one is used, L4 is a polyalkylene polyether having more than one alkenyl ether group per molecule. The most useful groups have alken lo where an olefinic double bond is present, fixed to a terminal methylene group, CH2 = C < . They are made by the etherification of a polyhedral alcohol containing at least 4 carbon atoms and at least 3 hydroxyl groups. Compounds of this class can be produced by reacting an alkenyl halide, such as chloroaluminum chloride or ammonium bromide with a strongly alkaline aqueous solution of one or more polyhedral alcohols. The product is a complex mixture of polyethers with numbers varying from ether groups. The analysis reveals only the average number of ether groups in each molecule. The efficiency of the polyether linking agent increases with the number of potentially polymerase groups in the molecule. It is preferred to use polyethers containing an average of two or more per-molecule alkenyl ether groups. The copolymers are preferably made by polymerization in an inert diluent which has some solubilizing action in one or more of the monomeric ingredients but substantially none in the remaining polymer. Mass polymerization can be used but is not preferred due to the difficulty in working the solid polymeric masses obtained. Polymerization in an aqueous medium containing a water soluble free radical catalyst peroxygen is useful, the product being obtained either as a granulated precipitate or as a highly swollen gel, either of which can be used directly or are subdivided and dried easily. Polymerization in an organic liquid that is a solvent for the monomers but a non-solvent for the polymer, or in a mixture of said solvents, in the presence of a solvent-soluble catalyst, is very preferred since the product is usually obtained as a very fine, friable and often spongy precipitate that, after removal of the solvent, only requires grinding or other treatment before use. Suitable solvents for the latter method include benzene, xylene, tetralin, hexane, heptane, carbon tetrachloride, methyl chloride, ethyl chloride, bromine trichloro methane, ethyl acetate, dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, ethylene dichloride, and mixtures of these solvents and other solvents. The polymerization can also be carried out in an aqueous non-redox soluble multipurpose inorganic salt medium. The acid is very soluble in water, therefore, the inorganic salt is added to insolubilize the acid. In this way, another phase is introduced and the acid is polymerized in a suspension instead of in solution. The aqueous medium can be a concentrated solution of the salt or it can be a suspension of salt of the salt. The difference between the two is considerable. While a concentrated salt solution of magnesium sulfate at reaction temperature is composed of about 2.5 parts by weight of the salt per one part by weight of water, a salt suspension is composed of about 20 parts by weight of the salt per one part by weight of water. The use of a concentrated salt solution as the reaction medium is preferred. Although magnesium sulfate is the preferred salt, other organic salts or hydrates thereof may be used, including salts of non-redox multipurpose ions such as potassium sulfate, calcium chloride, secondary sodium phosphate and salts using combinations of anions. and cations such as barium, beryllium, cadmium, calcium, chloride, chromium, cobalt, lead, magnesium, manganese, rnolibdate, nickel, selenate, strontium, sulfate, tin, tungsten, zinc and the like. The success of this polymerization method depends on the fact that the polymerization reaction occurs in discrete and separate oil-in-water drops. Therefore, the solubility in water of the inorganic salt employed should be polymerization a molar means in order to desalt the monomer and the water soluble polymer formed. In addition, the soluble salts can be readily washed from the finished polymer. The polymerization in the diluent medium is carried out in the presence of a free radical catalyst in a closed vessel in an inert atmosphere and under autogenous pressure or artificially induced pressure or in an open vessel under reflux at atmospheric pressure. The temperature of the polymerization can vary from 0 to 100 ° C, depending on the desired molecular weight in the polymer. Polymerization under reflux at 50 ° to 90 ° C, under atmospheric pressure using a free radical catalyst is effective, generally giving a polymer yield of 75% to 100% in less than 10 hours. Suitable polymerization catalysts include peroxygen compounds such as potassium persulfate and sodium ammonium, caprylyl peroxide, benzoyl peroxide, hydrogen peroxide, pelargonyl peroxide, eumeno hydroperoxides, tertiary butyl diperphthalate, tertiary butyl perbenzoate, sodium peracetate, sodium percarbonate, and the like, as well as azo diisobutyryl nitrile, hereinafter referred to as azoisobutyronitrile. Other catalysts that can be used are the so-called "redox" type of catalysts and the heavy metal activated catalyst systems. Copolymers generally do not obtain their maximum properties in water until they are converted to a partial alkali, ammonium or amine salt. The neutralizing agent is preferably a monovalent alkali such as sodium, potassium, lithium or ammonium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, potassium, lithium or ammonium, sodium bicarbonate, potassium, lithium or ammonium, or mixtures thereof and also bases of amine having no more than one primary or secondary amino group, for example, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, trimethylamine and the like. Conventional oil-in-water emulsions have a particle size of less than 10 microns, preferably 0.1-5 microns. Surprisingly, the oil-in-water emulsions prepared herein with these copolymers having a much larger particle size average about 50 microns and are in the range of about 10 to about 100 microns. Copolymers, which may contain a small proportion of long-chain acrylate esters, may function as primary dealers, whereas polymers similar to modified polymers but free of long-chain acrylate esters do not possess this property. The emulsions also desernulsify when they make contact with the skin. See, also, Patent of E.U.A. No. 5,004,598, to Lochhead et al., Issued April 12, 1991, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

DETERSIVE NON-EMULSIFYING SURGICAL AGENT The compositions of the present invention comprise from about 0.05% to about 20%, preferably from about 0.10% to about 15%, and most preferred from about 0.5% to about 10% of a selected nonemulsifying detersive surfactant selected from from the group consisting of nonionic surfactants, anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, zwitterionic surfactants, and mixtures thereof. Such non-efficient detersive surfactants are well known to those skilled in the art. By "non-emulsifying" it is meant that these surfactants do not appreciably emulsify the water and oil components of a composition to form an emulsion containing a phase of dispersed particles in a continuous phase. By "detersive" it is meant that these surfactants provide a cleaning or detergent benefit. Surfactants having high HLB values are preferred herein, because of their reduced ability to act as ernulsifiers. In the present invention, a single surfactant or a mixture of surfactants can be used. The HLB of the individual surfactant and the average heavy HLB for a mixture of surfactants should be greater than about 11, preferably from about 11 to about 8, and rn? And preferred from about 12 to about 17. The term " HLB "is well known to those skilled in the art and means" hydrophilic-lipophilic balance "and is further described in The HLB System.

METHODS FOR PERSONAL CLEANING The compositions of the present invention are useful for personal cleansing, especially for cleansing the skin or hair. Typically, an adequate or effective amount of the cleaning composition is applied to the area to be cleaned. Alternatively, an adequate or effective amount of the cleansing composition is applied to the skin or hair by means of intermediate application to a towel, a sponge, a pad, cotton or other application device. If desired, the area to be cleaned can be pre-moistened with water. It has been found that the compositions of the present invention can be combined with water during the cleaning and rinsing process of the skin. Alternatively, the product can be run alone and cleaned by rubbing the skin using a pad, cotton, handkerchief or other similar device. The cleaning procedure is typically a two step procedure involving the application of the product after rinsing the product with water or scrubbing without using water. Generally, an effective amount of product to be used will depend on the individual's needs and habits of use. Typical amounts of the present compositions useful for cleaning vary from about 0.5 rng / crn2 to about 25 rng / cm2 of the area of the skin to be cleaned.

The contents of vessel 1 were stirred vigorously with a mixer with a distillation head for approximately 30 seconds. For containers 2-4, water and surfactants were combined and heated to 70 ° C. The mineral oil was heated separately to 70 ° C and added to the water phase. The oil-water mixture was stirred vigorously with a distillation head mixer for about 30 seconds. For vessels 5-8, water, C10-30 alkyl acrylate / acrylate crosslinkers and surfactants (containers 6-8) were combined and heated to 70 ° C. The mineral oil was heated separately with a mixer with a distillation head for approximately 30 seconds. The sodium hydroxide solution was then added with mixture to neutralize the cross-linked polymer. After, resting for approximately 6 hours, each container was visually inspected to determine if there were one or two phases present. The presence of a phase would indicate that ernification occurred and the presence of two phases would indicate that emulsification did not occur. The following is a picture of the results.

Copolymer container Teneioactive agent Faees observed 1 none none 2 2 none glucose amide 2 3 none decyl polyglucose 2 4 none Steareth-2 / Steareth-21 1 5 if none 1 6 if glucose amide 1 7 if decil polyglucose 1 8 if Steareth-2 / Steareth-21 1 When neither the copolymer nor the surfactant are present (container 1) an emulsion is not formed as is observed by the presence of 2 phases after mixing. The results of containers 2 and 3, ie, 2 phases remaining after mixing, demonstrate that the surfactant agents such as glucose amide and decyl polyglucose are non-emulsifying surfactants. The result of container 4 shows that the 1: 1 combination of Steareth-2 and Steareth-21 is an emulsifying surfactant. The acrylates / C10-30 alkyl acrylate cross-linked polymer, when neutralized with an appropriate base such as sodium hydroxide, acts as an ernulsifier-when used alone (vessel 5) or in combination with a surfactant system (containers 6-8). This shows that the acrylates / C10-30 alkyl acrylate cross-linked polymer can ernulsify a simple oil such as mineral oil and that a surfactant can be an emulsifying or non-emulsifying surfactant.
