AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent describes a method of making a personal care product by combining fatty alcohols and a gel network in water. The fatty alcohols are used in a specific ratio to create a mixture, which is then cooled to form a gel network. This gel network is then combined with a detersive surfactant and a liquid carrier to make the personal care product. The result is a product that does not have any sulfated surfactants. The technical effect of this method is a more effective and gentle personal care product that is easier to use.

Problems solved by technology

Soiled hair has a dirty feel and exhibits an unattractive appearance.
Shampoos including sulfated surfactants, such as sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate, however, exhibit a number of undesirable characteristics such as poor quality hair feel as well as hair and skin dryness after washing due to the harshness of the sulfated surfactants.
Shampoos including sulfated surfactants also face poor consumer acceptance as a consequence of this harshness.

Embodiment Construction

[0007]While the specification concludes with claims which particularly point out and distinctly claim the invention, it is believed the present disclosure will be better understood from the following description.

Definitions

[0008]In all embodiments of the present disclosure, all percentages are by weight of the total composition, unless specifically stated otherwise. All ratios are weight ratios, unless specifically stated otherwise. All ranges are inclusive and combinable. The number of significant digits conveys neither a limitation on the indicated amounts nor on the accuracy of the measurements. All numerical amounts are understood to be modified by the word “about” unless otherwise specifically indicated. Unless otherwise indicated, all measurements are understood to be made at about 25° C. and at ambient conditions, where “ambient conditions” means conditions under about one atmosphere of pressure and at about 50% relative humidity. All such weights as they pertain to listed in...

Abstract

A personal care composition substantially free of sulfated surfactants includes a dispersed gel network, a detersive surfactant, and water. The dispersed gel network includes one or more fatty alcohols, a gel network surfactant, and water. Methods of making a personal care composition are also disclosed.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present disclosure generally relates to personal care compositions substantially free of sulfated surfactants and which contain a dispersed gel network phase to provide cleaning benefits.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Human hair becomes soiled due to contact with the surrounding environment and from sebum secreted by the scalp. Soiled hair has a dirty feel and exhibits an unattractive appearance. Application and washing of the soiled hair with a shampoo composition can restore hair to a clean and attractive appearance by removing oil and other soils from the hair. Known shampoo compositions typically remove oil and soil from hair through inclusion of sulfated surfactants. Shampoos including sulfated surfactants, such as sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate, however, exhibit a number of undesirable characteristics such as poor quality hair feel as well as hair and skin dryness after washing due to the harshness of the sulfated surfactants...
