Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a hair care composition that helps to remove deposits of calcium fatty carboxylate salts from hair. The composition includes a calcium chelant, an anionic surfactant, a hydrotrope, and a carrier. The composition has a specific pH range. The technical effect of this composition is to provide improved hair conditioning and reduced deposits of calcium fatty carboxylate salts on hair.

Problems solved by technology

Calcium fatty carboxylate salts are highly insoluble and can either be deposited onto the hair and scalp or they can precipitate inside the hair fiber, which can be detrimental to hair health and appearance.
Hair with deposits of calcium fatty carboxylate salts can show reduced shine, are difficult to comb, and the deposits can eventually lead to fiber damage including cuticle breakage.
Many current hair care compositions are not able to efficiently remove these calcium fatty carboxylate salts.

Abstract

A hair care composition that removes calcium fatty carboxylate salts from the hair and scalp is provided. The hair care composition includes a calcium chelant, an anionic surfactant, a hydrotrope, a carrier, and optionally a zwitterionic surfactant.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]Described herein is a hair care composition for removing calcium fatty carboxylate salts from the hair and scalp. The hair care composition comprises a calcium chelant, an anionic surfactant, a hydrotrope, and a carrier, wherein the hair care composition has a pH from about 4 to about 7. Methods of using the hair care compositions are also described herein.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Many water sources that are used by consumers for personal care contain elevated levels of calcium ions. The calcium ions can react or combine with fatty acid molecules present on the hair or scalp. These fatty acid molecules may be from internal lipids or from sebum lipids. Upon combination of the calcium ions with the fatty acid molecules, calcium fatty carboxylate salts can be formed. Calcium fatty carboxylate salts are highly insoluble and can either be deposited onto the hair and scalp or they can precipitate inside the hair fiber, which can be detrimental to hair h...
