Compact aerosol hair care composition comprising hydrocarbon foaming agent

Abstract

The invention relates to a aerosol compact hair care composition comprising: from about 23 weight % to about 45 weight % total surfactant; from about 15 weight % to about 40 weight % anionic surfactant; less than about 12 wt% of zwitterionic surfactant; from about 0.5 wt% to about 50 wt% of a viscosity reducing agent selected from the group consisting of a water-miscible solvent, hydrotrope and mixtures thereof; from about 3 wt% to about 15 wt% hydrocarbon foaming agent; wherein the ratio of zwitterionic surfactant to viscosity reducing agent is less than about 1.5.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a compacting hair care composition comprising: a surfactant, wherein less than 12% by weight of said surfactant is zwitterionic; from about 0.5% to about 50% by weight of a water-miscible solvent or hydrotropes; and hydrocarbon blowing agents. Background technique [0002] This article describes the aerosol foams used in the personal cleansing category as an attractive format for consumers. Shampoo products delivered by foam are easy to spread on the hair and cleanse without leaving a noticeable residue on the hair, as the foam's structuring effect enables the use of polymer- or wax-like structurant-free composition, resulting in cleaner and shinier hair. However, due to the low density of the foam, high concentrations of surfactant may be required to provide a sufficient amount of detersive surfactant per use. [0003] Hydrocarbon blowing agents are the most common propellants for aerosol compositions. However, suc...

However, such blowing agents interact with the surfactants in high-surfactant systems to form gel-like structures with high viscosity, which are difficult to dispense from corresponding typical containers
