Description

Title of the invention: COSMETIC COMPOSITIONS FOR HAIR SCOPE OF DISCLOSURE

[0001] This disclosure relates to cosmetic hair compositions that offer a unique sensory experience. Furthermore, aspects of the disclosure relate to cosmetic hair compositions that provide conditioning and other benefits to the hair. CONTEXT OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0002] Many consumers wish to use cosmetic and care compositions that enhance the appearance of keratinous substrates such as hair, for example by modifying, styling, shaping, and / or imparting various cosmetic properties. Manufacturers have developed different types of styling products to help consumers achieve a desired style, including long-lasting styled hair. These styling products are generally supplied in various physical forms, such as liquid, gel, mousse, or pomade, depending on the composition, styling / holding performance, consumer acceptance, branding strategy, and marketing, among other variables.Many traditional styling products ignore and sometimes even reduce desired hair properties, such as smooth appearance, shine, amount of conditioning, sealed ends, etc.

[0003] Although different technologies and different products exist on the hair styling products market, there is still a need for improvement in these areas and, at the same time, a need to provide care benefits not usually found in a hair styling product. DISCLOSURE SUMMARY

[0004] Aspects of this disclosure relate to cosmetic hair compositions that provide a unique sensory experience. Cosmetic hair compositions are typically formulated to include specific ingredients in certain quantities and ratios that allow the cosmetic hair compositions to provide a unique sensory experience, such as an increase in viscosity with the addition of external water.

[0005] Furthermore, some embodiments of the disclosure provide hair cosmetic compositions in the form of a lotion that transforms into an oil before or during the application of the hair cosmetic compositions to the hair. For example, when the user rubs, spreads, and / or cuts the composition When a hair cosmetic product is applied to one or more dry or wet hands, or directly to dry or wet hair (e.g., by rubbing, spreading, and / or massaging the lotion into the hair fibers), the lotion transforms into an oil. Without being limited to any specific theory, it is believed that the shear stress associated with applying hair cosmetic compositions after external water has been added breaks the emulsion within the hair cosmetic composition, at least partially contributing to the transformation of the hair cosmetic composition from a lotion into an oil.Consequently, in some cases, the transformation of a hair cosmetic composition from a lotion to an oil refers to the change in the cosmetic composition's rheological properties and / or tactile feel associated with a lotion to those of an oil. Inventors have made the surprising discovery that transforming hair cosmetic compositions from a lotion to an oil allows certain ingredients to be deposited onto the user's hair and scalp, providing enhanced benefits such as conditioning, scalp hydration, increased hair shine, improved curl definition, and so on.

[0070] It must be understood that the various aspects are not limited to the arrangements and instrumentation shown in the drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0071] Aspects of this disclosure relate to cosmetic hair compositions that provide a unique sensory experience. Cosmetic hair compositions are typically formulated to include specific ingredients in certain amounts and ratios, such that they provide a unique sensory experience. For example, some embodiments of the disclosure feature cosmetic hair compositions in the form of a lotion that transforms into an oil during application. Furthermore, the Cosmetic hair compositions can be formulated so that their viscosity initially increases with the addition of external water. Consequently, in some embodiments, cosmetic hair compositions offer the unique experience of a lotion whose viscosity increases when combined with external water and then transforms from a lotion to an oil, which may include a decrease in the composition's viscosity. For example, the initial increase in viscosity can provide a luxurious feel before the emulsion of the cosmetic hair composition breaks, as measured by the drop in viscosity during stress / application (e.g., during a transformation from a lotion to an oil).

[0072] Cosmetic compositions for hair, according to one aspect of the disclosure, typically include:

[0073] (a) approximately 4 to approximately 32% by weight of two or more polyols comprising:

[0074] (i) approximately 1% by weight or more of a glycol, and

[0075] (ii) about 2% by weight or more of glycerin;

[0076] (b) about 0.5 to about 10% by weight of a non-ionic surfactant;

[0077] (c) about 5 to about 25% by weight of a fatty ester;

[0078] (d) about 0.1 to about 7% by weight of a film-forming agent;

[0079] (e) about 0.1 to about 5% by weight of a thickening agent;

[0080] (f) approximately 0.5 to approximately 7% by weight of an oil; and

[0081] (g) of water,

[0082] in which all percentages by weight are based on the total weight of the cosmetic composition for hair.

[0083] Hair cosmetic compositions may be formulated as a leave-in or rinse-out composition. As noted above, hair cosmetic compositions preferably transform from a lotion to an oil during application to the user's hair. In some cases, the transformation of the hair cosmetic composition from a lotion to an oil refers to the hair cosmetic composition changing from the rheological properties and / or tactile sensation associated with a lotion to the rheological properties and / or tactile sensation associated with an oil.

[0084] External water may be added to the hair cosmetic composition before, during, and / or after application of the hair cosmetic composition to the hair. For example, when the user adds external water to the hair cosmetic composition and applies (e.g., by rubbing, spreading, and / or massaging) the hair cosmetic composition to the hair, the hair cosmetic composition transforms from a lotion into an oil. In In some cases, the viscosity of the cosmetic composition increases when combined with external water in such a quantity that the weight ratio of the cosmetic compositions for hair to external water is approximately 1:0.5 to approximately 1:10, approximately 1:0.6 to approximately 1:10, approximately 1:0.7 to approximately 1:10, approximately 1:0.8 to approximately 1:10, approximately 1:0.9 to approximately 1:10, approximately 1:1 to approximately 1:10; approximately 1:0.5 to approximately 1:8, approximately 1:0.6 to approximately 1:8, approximately 1:0.7 to approximately 1:8, approximately 1:0.8 to approximately 1:8, approximately 1:0.9 to approximately 1:8, approximately 1:1 to approximately 1:8; approximately 1:0. 5 to about 1:6, about 1:0.6 to about 1:6, about 1:0.7 to about 1:6, about 1:0.8 to about 1:6, about 1:0.9 to about 1:6, about 1:1 to about 1:6; about 1:0.5 to about 1:4, about 1:0.6 to about 1:4, about 1:0.7 to about 1:4, about 1:0.8 to about 1:4, about 1:0.9 to about 1:4, about 1:1 to about 1:4; about 1:0.5 to about 1:2, about 1:0.6 to about 1:2, about 1:0.7 to about 1:2, about 1:0.8 to about 1:2, about 1:0.9 to about 1:2, about 1:1 to about 1:2, or any intermediate range or subrange.

[0085] The viscosity of the cosmetic hair composition generally increases upon contact with water when the cosmetic hair composition transforms from a lotion into an oil. For example, the cosmetic hair composition may have a viscosity of approximately 10 to approximately 500 Pa·s, as measured at a temperature of 25°C using a rheometer (DHR-2, TA Instruments, New Castle, DE, USA) and a parallel plate geometry of 40 mm with a shear speed in the range of 1 to 10 1 / s.In some cases, the viscosity of the cosmetic composition for hair, when in the form of a lotion, has a viscosity of about 10 to about 500 Pa's, about 20 to about 500 Pa's, about 40 to about 500 Pa's, about 60 to about 500 Pa's, about 80 to about 500 Pa's, about 100 to about 500 Pa's, about 200 to about 500 Pa's, about 10 to about 300 Pa's, about 20 to about 300 Pa's, about 40 to about 300 Pa's, about 60 to about 300 Pa's, about 80 to about 300 Pa's, about 100 to about 300 Pa's, about 1500 to about 300 Pa's; about 10 to about 100 Pa₂s, about 20 to about 100 Pa₂s, about 40 to about 100 Pa₂s, about 60 to about 100 Pa₂s, about 80 to about 100 Pa₂s, as measured at a temperature of 25°C using a rheometer (DHR-2, TA instruments, New Castle, DE, USA) and a parallel plate geometry of 40 mm with a shear velocity in a range of 1 to 10 1 / s.Preferably, the viscosity of the hair cosmetic composition, after transformation into an oil, is lower than that obtained when the hair cosmetic composition is in lotion form. As noted above, in some cases, the transformation of the hair cosmetic composition from a lotion to an oil refers to the transformation of the hair cosmetic composition from a lotion having rheological properties and / or a tactile feel associated with [the oil / oil]. A lotion containing an oil has rheological properties and / or a tactile sensation associated with an oil. Without being limited to any specific theory, it is thought that certain cosmetic hair compositions exhibit an increase in viscosity in response to the addition of external water, followed by a decrease in viscosity due to the breakdown of the emulsion of the cosmetic hair composition under shear stress, for example associated with the application of the cosmetic hair composition or friction by the user's hands.

[0086] The viscosity of the cosmetic composition for hair, after transformation into oil, is from about 0.01 to about 10 Pa«s, measured at a temperature of 25°C using a rheometer (DHR-2, TA instruments, New Castle, DE, USA) and a parallel plate geometry of 40 mm with a shear speed in a range of 1 to 10 1 / s.

[0087] Appropriate components, such as those listed below, may be included or excluded from formulations for cosmetic compositions depending on the specific combination of other components, the form of the cosmetic compositions, and / or the use of the formulation. Polyols

[0315] (f) about 0.5 to about 12% by weight of an oil; and

[0316] (g) of water,

[0317] wherein the cosmetic composition for hair is an emulsion before the application on the hair and is an oil after application to the hair, and all percentages by weight are based on the total weight of the cosmetic composition for hair, and

[0318] (II) hair styling.

[0319] The cosmetic hair composition can be applied to and dispersed throughout the hair by hand, using a comb or brush, or by any other suitable means. External water may be combined with the cosmetic hair composition before, during, or after its application to the hair. In some cases, when the cosmetic hair composition is mixed with or comes into contact with external water, it transforms from a lotion into an oil. In other cases, when the cosmetic hair composition is cut or rubbed between dry or wet hands, or applied directly to the hair by rubbing or cutting, or by spreading or massaging it onto the hair and / or scalp, it transforms from a lotion into an oil.As noted above, in some cases, the transformation of the cosmetic composition for hair from a lotion to an oil refers to the transformation of the cosmetic composition for hair from rheological properties and / or tactile sensation and / or visual appearance associated with a lotion to rheological properties and / or tactile sensation and / or visual appearance associated with an oil.

[0320] External water can be combined with the hair cosmetic composition directly from a source, such as a shower, bath, sink, pipe, and / or similar, or indirectly from a source, such as wet or damp hands, wet or damp skin, wet or damp hair, and / or similar. The user can then physically manipulate the applied hair cosmetic composition (for example, by rubbing their hands together or rubbing the composition against another part of the body, such as the head, hair, etc.). In some cases, the transformation of a lotion into an oil occurs automatically without the need for mixing and / or shearing. In other words, the hair cosmetic composition combines sufficiently with external water simply by coming into contact with it.In some cases, however, a minimal amount of mixing and / or shearing may be necessary, and may be encouraged. Furthermore, the hair may be styled using any appropriate means to achieve desired hairstyles. Manufacturing process

[0371] The terms “comprising,” “having,” and “including” are used in their broad and non-limiting sense. The compositions and processes of this disclosure may include, consist, or consist substantially of the essential elements and limitations of the disclosure described herein, as well as any additional or optional ingredient, component, or limitation described herein or otherwise useful.

[0372] All percentages, parts, and ratios stated herein are based on the total weight of the compositions in this disclosure, unless otherwise stated. All ranges and values ​​disclosed herein are inclusive and combinable. The term "inclusive" for a range of concentrations means that the boundaries of the range are included within the defined interval. For example, any value or point described herein that lies within a range described herein may serve as a minimum or maximum value for deriving a subrange, and so on. Furthermore, all ranges provided are intended to include each specific range included, as well as any combination of subranges between the given ranges. Thus, a range of 1 to 5 specifically includes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, as well as subranges such as 2 to 5, 3 to 5, 2 to 3, 2 to 4, 1 to 4, and so on.

[0373] As used herein, the expression "at least one" is interchangeable with the expression "one or more" and therefore includes individual components as well as mixtures / combinations.

[0374] The term “substantially free” or “essentially free” as used here means that there is less than about 5% by weight of a specific material added to a composition, based on the total weight of the compositions. However, the compositions may include less than about 2% by weight, less than about 1% by weight, less than about 0.5% by weight, less than about 0.1% by weight, less than 0.01% by weight, or none of the specified material.

[0375] The term "active substance", as used here in relation to the percentage quantity of an ingredient or raw material, refers to 100% activity of the ingredient or raw material.

[0376] Throughout the disclosure, the phrase "a mixture of these" may be used following a list of items, as shown in the following example where the letters A through F represent the items: "one or more items selected from the group consisting of A, B, C, D, E, F, and a mixture of these." The phrase "a mixture of these" does not require that the mixture include all of A, B, C, D, E, and F (although all of A, B, C, D, E, and F may be included). Rather, it indicates that a mixture of two or more of A, B, C, D, E, and F may be included. In other words, it is equivalent to the phrase "one or more items selected from the group consisting of A, B, C, D, E, F, and a mixture of two or more of A, B, C, D, E, and F."

[0377] Similarly, the term "a salt of it" also refers to "salts of it." Thus, when the disclosure refers to "an element selected from the group consisting of A, B, C, D, E, F, a salt of these, and a mixture of these," it indicates that one or more of A, B, C, D, and F may be included, one or more of a salt of A, a salt of B, a salt of C, a salt of D, a salt of E, and a salt of F may be included, or a mixture of any two of A, B, C, D, E, F, a salt of A, a salt of B, a salt of C, a salt of D, a salt of E, and a salt of F may be included. The salts The counterions mentioned throughout the disclosure may include salts with a counterion such as an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, or an ammonium counterion. However, this list of counterions is not exhaustive.

[0378] “Volatile”, as used here, means having a flash point less than about 100°C. “Non-volatile”, as used here, means having a flash point above approximately 100°C.

[0379] The term "polymers", as defined herein, includes homopolymers and copolymers formed from at least two different types of monomers.

[0380] The term "INCI" is an abbreviation for International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients, which is a system of names provided by the International Nomenclature Committee of the Personal Care Products Council to describe personal care ingredients.

[0381] All components and elements positively presented in this disclosure may be negatively excluded from the claims. In other words, the compositions (nanoemulsions) of this disclosure may be free or substantially free of all the components and elements positively cited in this disclosure.

[0382] Some of the various categories of identified components may overlap. In such cases where an overlap may exist and the composition includes both components (or the composition includes more than two overlapping components), an overlapping compound does not represent more than one component. For example, a fatty alcohol may be characterized as both a nonionic surfactant and a fatty compound. If a particular composition includes both a nonionic surfactant and a fatty compound, a single fatty alcohol will serve only as a nonionic surfactant or only as a fatty compound (the single fatty alcohol does not serve as both a nonionic surfactant and a fatty compound).

[0386] (Comparative compositions) Example 3

[0387] (Evaluation of the rheological properties of Ex. C)

[0388] The rheological properties of the sample composition C were measured using a rheometer (DHR-2, TA Instruments, New Castle, DE, USA) and a 40 mm parallel plate geometry. A 1 mm gap between the parallel plates was chosen. All tests were conducted at 25°C and atmospheric pressure. The sample was subjected to a shear ramp from 0.1 l / s to 1000 l / s over a period of 300 seconds. The time interval between data points was 1 s. The shear stress response was recorded for each data point.

[0389] In particular, the viscosity of the diluted sample of the example of composition C was greater than the viscosity of the sample of the example of composition C. A graph illustrating the viscosities of the sample of the example of composition C and the diluted sample of the example of composition C as the shear rate increases is shown in [Fig.1].

[0390] Furthermore, the sample of composition example C and the diluted sample of composition example C were imaged before shearing these samples. As seen in [Fig. 2], the diluted sample (1:1 dilution of composition example C in water) of composition example C had larger emulsified water droplets, which is assumed to produce the increase in viscosity of the diluted sample of composition example C before shearing. Although it is currently believed that some embodiments of cosmetic hair compositions do not require dilution to go from a lotion to an oil, Figures 1 and 2 are useful in illustrating the unique rheological characteristics of cosmetic hair compositions and how the lotion It transforms into an oil when applied to wet hair. Furthermore, [Fig. 1] shows that the viscosity of certain exemplary cosmetic compositions for hair increases upon the addition of external water.

[0391] Example 4

[0392] (Evaluation of Ex. C and Comp. 3)

[0393] The composition example C was evaluated in comparison with a comparative composition 3 (Comp. 3). Samples of approximately 8 grams each of the composition example C and the comparative composition 3 were applied to the hair of a mannequin. The mannequin's hair was washed before the samples were applied. More specifically, the sample of composition example C was applied evenly to one half of the mannequin's hair, and the sample of comparative composition 3 was applied evenly to the other half of the mannequin's hair.

[0394] During the application of the compositions, it was determined that composition C was easier to distribute through the hair than comparative composition 3. Composition C also appeared and felt lighter to the touch than comparative composition 3. In addition, composition C was easily absorbed into the hair and lengthened it. Conversely, composition 3 was applied like a cream and took longer than composition C. Although composition 3 made detangling easy, the hair felt heavier with composition 3 than with composition C.

[0395] The model's hair was allowed to dry and was reassessed. The section of hair treated with Composition C appeared lighter and more natural than the section treated with Comparative Composition 3. Composition C also dried faster than Comparative Composition 3. Composition C individualized the curls and left the hair shinier than Comparative Composition 3. More specifically, Comparative Composition 3 lengthened and grouped the curls compared to Composition C.

[0396] Example 5

[0397] (Evaluation of Ex. F and Comp. 4)

[0398] The example composition F was evaluated in comparison to a comparative composition 4 (Comp. 4). Eight-gram samples of the example composition F and comparative composition 3 were applied to the hair of a mannequin. The mannequin's hair was washed before the samples were applied. More specifically, Specifically, the sample from composition example F was applied uniformly to one half of the mannequin's hair and the sample from comparative composition 3 was applied uniformly to the other half of the mannequin's hair.

[0399] During the application of the compositions, it was determined that the sample composition F exhibited better glide, a more substantial feel on the hand, easier hair styling, and easier curl re-establishment. Furthermore, the sample composition F was easily absorbed into the hair. Although the comparative composition 4 was lightweight, it required more effort to distribute evenly through the hair, and it was more difficult to form curls compared to the sample composition F.

[0400] The model's hair was allowed to dry and then reassessed. The section of hair that received Composition F sample felt conditioned, light, and had a powdery, slippery feel. Composition F sample produced more defined curls, better aligned fibers, and more shine than Comparative Composition 4. The section of hair that received Comparative Composition 4 felt dry and did not produce defined curls.

[0401] Example 5

[0405] The mannequin's hair was washed before the samples were applied. More specifically, the sample of the composition example F was applied evenly to one half of the mannequin's hair and the sample of the comparative composition 5 was applied evenly to the other half of the mannequin's hair.

[0406] During the application of the compositions, it was determined that the sample composition F was easier to distribute through the hair and felt lighter than the comparative composition 5. In addition, the sample composition F blended quickly into the hair and gave the curls a bouncy feel. The comparative composition 5 had a very thick feel on the evaluator's hands and felt heavy on the hair. The comparative composition 5 also took longer to set. distributed evenly on the hair, was more difficult to detangle and lengthened the curls compared to the example composition F.

[0407] The mannequin's hair was allowed to dry and reassessed. The section of hair treated with sample composition F had more defined curls and better fiber alignment than comparison composition 5. The hair treated with sample composition F also had a slight dampness. The section of hair treated with comparison composition 5 had more frizz, felt oily, and took longer to dry. Example 6
