Description

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

[0001] This disclosure relates to cosmetic hair compositions that provide 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 improve the appearance of keratin substrates such as hair, for example, by changing the style, shape, and / or imparting various cosmetic properties to the hair. Different types of hair styling products have been developed by manufacturers that aim to help consumers achieve a desired look, including long-lasting styled hair. Such hair styling products are typically supplied in a variety of physical forms, such as a liquid, gel, mousse, or pomade, depending on the composition, styling / holding performance, consumer acceptance, brand strategy, and marketing, among other variables.Many traditional hair styling products ignore and sometimes even reduce desired hair properties, such as fluidity, shine, conditioning, closed ends, and others.

[0003] While various technologies and products exist on the hair styling products market, there is always a need for improvement in these areas as well as, at the same time, the need to provide care benefits that are not typically found in a 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 amounts and ratios, such that they provide a unique sensory experience. In particular, some embodiments of the disclosure provide cosmetic hair compositions in the form of a cream that transforms into an oil before or during application to the hair. For example, when the user rubs, spreads, and / or cuts the hair... cosmetic position for hair on dry or wet hand(s) or applies the composition directly to dry or wet hair (for example, by rubbing, spreading and / or massaging the cream onto the hair fibers), the cream transforms into an oil.

[0005] Without being limited by any specific theory, it is thought that the shear stress associated with the application of cosmetic hair compositions dissociates the emulsion associated with the cosmetic hair composition, at least partially contributing to the transformation of the cosmetic hair composition from a cream to an oil. Consequently, in some cases, the transformation of the cosmetic hair composition from a cream to an oil refers to the cosmetic hair composition transforming from one having rheological properties and / or a tactile sensation associated with a cream to one having rheological properties and / or a tactile sensation associated with an oil.Furthermore, the inventors were astonished to discover that transforming cosmetic hair compositions from a cream into an oil deposits certain ingredients onto the user's hair and scalp to provide enhanced benefits, such as conditioning benefits.

[0061] It is understood that the various aspects are not limited to the arrangements and instruments shown in the drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0062] 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 provide cosmetic hair compositions in the form of a cream that transforms into an oil during application.The inventors were astonished to discover that transforming cosmetic hair compositions from a cream into an oil deposits certain ingredients onto the user's hair and scalp to provide enhanced benefits, such as improved scalp and hair health, conditioning, and moisturizing benefits.

[0063] Cosmetic compositions for hair, according to one aspect of the disclosure, typically include:

[0064] (a) approximately 4 to approximately 32% by weight of two or more polyols comprising:

[0065] (i) approximately 1% by weight or more of a glycol, and

[0066] (ii) about 2% by weight or more of glycerin;

[0067] (b) about 0.5 to about 10% by weight of a non-ionic surfactant;

[0068] (c) about 2 to about 35% by weight of a fatty ester;

[0069] (d) about 0.1 to about 7% by weight of a film-forming agent;

[0070] (e) approximately 0.05 to approximately 10% by weight of a silicone polymer; and

[0071] (f) approximately 0.5 to approximately 12% by weight of an oil,

[0072] in which all percentages by weight are based on the total weight of the cosmetic composition for hair.

[0073] Hair cosmetic compositions may be formulated as a leave-in or rinse-out composition. As noted above, preferably, hair cosmetic compositions transform from a cream-like presentation to an oil during application to the user's hair, for example, in conjunction with water. For example, when the user adds water to the hair cosmetic composition and applies (for example, by rubbing, spreading, and / or massaging) the hair cosmetic composition to the hair, the hair cosmetic composition transforms from a cream to an oil.

[0074] In some cases, foreign water is added to the cosmetic hair composition before, during and / or after the transformation of a cream into an oil in such a quantity that the weight ratio of the cosmetic hair compositions to the foreign water is from about 1:0.1 to about 1:10, from about 1:0.2 to about 1:10, from about 1:0.3 to about 1:10, from about 1:0.4 to about 1:10, from about 1:0.5 to about 1:10, from about 1:0.6 to about 1:10, from about 1:0.7 to about 1:10, from about 1:0.8 to about 1:10, from about 1:0.9 to about 1:10, from about 1:1 to about 1:10; from about 1:0.1 to about 1:8, from about 1:0.2 to about 1:8, from about 1:0.3 to about 1:8, from about 1:0.4 to about 1:8, from about 1:0.5 to about 1:8, from about 1:0.6 to about 1:8, from about 1:0.7 to about 1:8, from about 1:0.8 to about 1:8, from about 1:0.9 to about 1:8, from about 1:1 to about 1:8;from about 1:0.1 to about 1:6, from about 1:0.2 to about 1:6, from about 1:0.3 to about 1:6, from about 1:0.4 to about 1:6, from about 1:0.5 to about 1:6, from about 1:0.6 to about 1:6, from about 1:0.7 to about 1:6, from about 1:0.8 to about 1:6, from about 1:0.9 to about 1:6, from about 1:1 to about 1:6; from about 1:0.1 to about 1:4, from about 1:0.2 to about 1:4, from about 1:0.3 to about 1:4, from about 1:0.4 to about 1:4, from about 1:0.5 to about 1:4, from about 1:0.6 to about 1:4, from about 1:0.7 to about 1:4, from about 1:0.8 to about 1:4, from about 1:0.9 to about 1:4, from about 1:1 to about 1:4; from approximately 1:0.1 to approximately 1:2, from approximately 1:0.2 to approximately 1:2, from approximately 1:0.3 to approximately 1:2, from approximately 1:0.4 to approximately 1:2, from approximately 1:0.5 to approximately 1:2, from approximately 1:0.6 to approximately 1:2, from approximately 1:0.7 to approximately 1:2, from approximately 1:0.8 to approximately 1:2, from approximately 1:0.9 to approximately 1:2, from approximately 1:1 to approximately 1:2, or any ranges in between.

[0075] The viscosity of the cosmetic hair composition typically decreases upon contact with water as the cosmetic hair composition transforms from a cream to 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 rate in the range of 1 to 10 1 / s.In some cases, the viscosity of the cosmetic hair composition, when in cream form, ranges from approximately 10 to approximately 500 Pa·s, from approximately 20 to approximately 500 Pa·s, from approximately 40 to approximately 500 Pa·s, from approximately 60 to approximately 500 Pa·s, from approximately 80 to approximately 500 Pa·s, from approximately 100 to approximately 500 Pa·s, from approximately 200 to approximately 500 Pa·s, from approximately 10 to approximately 300 Pa·s, from approximately 20 to approximately 300 Pa·s, from approximately 40 to approximately 300 Pa·s, from approximately 60 to approximately 300 Pa·s, from approximately 80 to approximately 300 Pa·s, from approximately 100 to approximately 300 Pa·s, and from approximately 1500 to about 300 Pa«s; from about 10 to about 100 Pa«s, from about 20 to about 100 Pa«s, from about 40 to about 100 Pa«s, from about 60 to about 100 Pa«s, from about 80 to . Approximately 100 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 rate in the range of 1 to 10⁻¹² s. Preferably, the viscosity of the hair cosmetic composition, after transformation into an oil, is lower than that when the hair cosmetic composition is in the form of a cream. Without being limited by any specific theory, it is believed that the shear stress associated with the application of hair cosmetic compositions after foreign water has been added to the hair cosmetic composition dissociates the emulsion associated with the hair cosmetic composition, thus contributing, at least partially, to the transformation of the hair cosmetic composition from a cream to an oil.As noted above, in some cases, the transformation of the cosmetic hair composition from a cream to an oil refers to the cosmetic hair composition transforming from one having rheological properties and / or a tactile sensation associated with a cream to one having rheological properties and / or a tactile sensation associated with an oil.

[0076] The viscosity of the cosmetic composition for hair, after transformation into an oil, has a viscosity of about 0.01 at about 10 Paₐs, 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 rate in a range of 1 to 10 1 / s.

[0077] Suitable 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

[0078] Cosmetic hair compositions typically include two or more polyols in an amount that is in the range of about 4 to about 32% by weight, based on the total weight of the cosmetic hair composition.For example, the total amount of polyols present in the cosmetic composition for hair can be from about 4 to about 29% by weight, from about 4 to about 26% by weight, from about 4 to about 23% by weight, from about 4 to about 20% by weight, from about 4 to about 18% by weight, from about 4 to about 16% by weight, from about 4 to about 14% by weight, from about 4 to about 12% by weight, from about 4 to about 10% by weight, from about 4 to about 8% by weight; from about 4 to about 7% by weight; from about 4 to about 6% by weight; from about 5 to about 29% by weight, from about 5 to about 26% by weight, from about 5 to about 23% by weight, from about 5 to about 20% by weight, from about 5 to about 18% by weight, from about 5 to about . 16% by weight, from about 5 to about 14% by weight, from about 5 to about 12% by weight, from about 5 to about 10% by weight, from about 5 to about 8% by weight; from about 6 to about 29% by weight, from about 6 to about 26% by weight, from about 6 to about 23% by weight, from about 6 to about 20% by weight, from about 6 to about 18% by weight, from about 6 to about 16% by weight, from about 6 to about 14% by weight, from about 6 to about 12% by weight, from about 6 to about 10% by weight; from about 7 to about 29% by weight, from about 7 to about 26% by weight, from about 7 to about 23% by weight, from about 7 to about 20% by weight, from about 7 to about 18% by weight, from about 7 to about 16% by weight, from about 7 to about 14% by weight, from about 7 to about 12% by weight, from about 7 to about 10% by weight;from about 8 to about 29% by weight, from about 8 to about 26% by weight, from about 8 to about 23% by weight, from about 8 to about 20% by weight, from about 8 to about 18% by weight, from about 8 to about 16% by weight, from about 8 to about 14% by weight, from about 8 to about 12% by weight, from about 8 to about 11% by weight, including the ranges and sub-ranges between them, based on the total weight of the cosmetic composition for hair.

[0272] The terms “comprising,” “having,” and “including” are used in their broad, non-limiting sense. The compositions and processes of this disclosure may include, be made up of, or be substantially made up of the essential elements and limitations of the disclosure described herein, and any additional or optional ingredients, components, or limitations described herein or that may be useful.

[0273] All percentages, parts, and ratios 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 limits of the range are included in the defined interval. For the examples, any value or point described here that lies within a range described here can serve as a minimum or maximum value for deriving a subrange, and so on. Furthermore, all the ranges provided are intended to include any specific range within the given ranges, and combinations 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.

[0274] As used herein, the expression "at least one" is interchangeable with the expression "one or more" and thus includes individual components as well as mixtures / combinations.

[0275] 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 no amount of the specified material.

[0276] The term "active material" 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.

[0277] Throughout disclosure, the term "a mixture of these" may be used following a list of items such 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 term "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). Instead, it indicates that a mixture of any 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 any two or more of A, B, C, D, E, and F."

[0278] Similarly, the term "a salt of it" also refers to "salts of it." Thus, when the disclosure refers to "an element chosen from the group consisting of A, B, C, D, E, F, a salt of it, and a mixture of it," 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 referenced throughout this disclosure may include salts with a counterion such as an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, or an ammonium counterion. This list of counterions, however, is not limiting.

[0279] “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.

[0280] The term "polymers", as defined herein, includes homopolymers and copolymers formed from at least two different types of monomers.

[0281] 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.

[0282] All components and elements positively disclosed in this disclosure may be negatively excluded from the claims. In other words, the compositions (nano-emulsions) of this disclosure may be free or substantially free of all the components and elements positively cited throughout this disclosure.

[0283] Some of the various identified component categories may overlap. In 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).

[0299] (Compositions comparatives) Exemple 3

[0300] (Évaluation de l’Ex. R et Comp. 6)

[0301] The Example Composition R (Ex. R) was evaluated in comparison with Comparative Composition 6 (Comp. 6). Specifically, samples of approximately 8 grams of each of Example Composition R and Comparative Composition 6 were applied to the hair of a mannequin with very curly hair. The mannequin's hair was washed before the samples were applied. More specifically, the sample of Example Composition R was applied evenly to one half of the mannequin's hair, and the sample of Comparative Composition 6 was applied evenly to the other half of the mannequin's hair.

[0302] The application of the compositions to the mannequin's hair was evaluated to determine the differences between Example Composition R and Comparative Composition 6. Example Composition R exhibited better glide and was more It was easier to distribute through the hair than Comparative Composition 6. Furthermore, Sample Composition R felt more substantial in the hand than Comparative Composition 6. Sample Composition R melted into the hair during application. Comparative Composition 6 beaded up on the hair and required additional effort to detangle after application. Comparative Composition 6 left a white residue resulting from the dissociation of the film formed by Comparative Composition 6.

[0303] The mannequin's hair was allowed to dry and then reassessed. The section of hair treated with Sample Composition R had closed ends and appeared light and conditioned, while still giving the impression that the hair was replenished with oil. Oil could be felt on the hair treated with Sample Composition R. The section of hair treated with Comparative Composition 6 had open ends and appeared dry. Example 4

[0304] (Evaluation of Ex. C and Comp. 8)

[0305] Example Composition C (Ex. C) was evaluated in comparison with Comparative Composition 8 (Comp. 8), which is a commercially available product. The ingredient list for Comp. 8 is provided below.

[0306] Water (Aqua), Polysorbate 20, Glycerin, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Butylène Glycol, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Citric Acid, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Hydrolyzed Wheat Starch, Hydrolyzed Corn Starch Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower / Leaf Stem Extract, Panthenol,Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Leaf Extract, Sodium PCA, Sodium Hyaluronate, Lonicera Caprifolium (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract, Lonicera Japonica (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract, Potassium Sorbate, Fragrance (Parfum), Caramel 1109B1420421.

[0307] Samples of approximately 8 grams of each of Example Composition C and Comparative Composition 8 were applied to the hair of a mannequin. The mannequin's hair was washed before the samples were applied. More specifically, the sample of Example Composition C was applied evenly to one half of the mannequin's hair, and the sample of Comparative Composition 8 was applied evenly to the other half of the mannequin's hair.

[0308] The application of the compositions to the mannequin's hair was evaluated to determine the differences between Example Composition C and Comparative Composition 8. Example Composition C exhibited better glide and made detangling easier than Comparative Composition 8. In addition, Example Composition C melted and was then absorbed into the hair during application. The section of hair receiving Comparative Composition 8 had a shiny and wet appearance during application.

[0309] The model's hair was allowed to dry and then reassessed. The section of hair that received Sample Composition R had good fluidity, felt conditioned to the touch, exhibited better frizz control, and better curl definition. The section of hair that received Comparative Composition 8 had more individualized curls, more frizz, and left the hair feeling dry. Example 5

[0310] (Evaluation of Ex. C and Comp. 4)

[0311] Example Composition C (Ex. C) was evaluated in comparison with Comparative Composition 4 (Comp. 4). Samples of approximately 8 grams of each of Example Composition C and Comparative Composition 4 were applied to the hair of a mannequin. The mannequin's hair was washed before the samples were applied. More specifically, the sample of Example Composition C was applied evenly to one half of the mannequin's hair, and the sample of Comparative Composition 4 was applied evenly to the other half of the mannequin's hair.

[0312] The application of the compositions to the mannequin's hair was evaluated to determine the differences between Example Composition C and Comparative Composition 4. The Example Composition exhibited better glide and made detangling easier than Comparative Composition 4. In addition, Example Composition C melted and was subsequently absorbed into the hair during application. The hair was more difficult to detangle and appeared very wet during the application of Comparative Composition 4. Comparative Composition 4 appeared to be placed on top of the wet hair and was easily transferred to the evaluator's hands. In particular, Comparative Composition 4 took longer to be absorbed into the hair than Example Composition C.

[0313] The mannequin's hair was allowed to dry and then re-evaluated. The section of hair treated with Sample Composition C had good slide, longer curls, and better hold. Sample Composition C provided better frizz control and tightly closed ends compared to Comparative Composition 4. The section of hair treated with Comparative Composition 4 had loose curls, more frizz, and open ends. In addition, the curls in the section of hair treated with Comparative Composition 4 broke easily. Example 6

[0314] (Evaluation of Ex. T and Comp. 1)

[0315] Sample Composition T (Ex. T) was evaluated in comparison with Comparative Composition 1 (Comp. 1). Samples of approximately 8 grams of each of Sample Composition T and Comparative Composition 1 were applied to the hair of a mannequin. The mannequin's hair was washed before the samples were applied. More specifically, the sample of Sample Composition T was applied evenly to one half of the mannequin's hair, and the sample of Comparative Composition 1 was applied evenly to the other half of the mannequin's hair.

[0316] The application of the compositions to the mannequin's hair was evaluated to determine the differences between Sample Composition T and Comparative Composition 1. The section of hair treated with Sample Composition T felt lighter and more oil-replenished than the hair treated with Comparative Composition 1. Furthermore, Sample Composition T was readily absorbed into the hair. Comparative Composition 1 felt heavier on the hair and provided a more topical sensation. Comparative Composition 1 was not readily absorbed into the hair; it was applied on top of the hair rather than penetrating the hair fibers.

[0317] The model's hair was allowed to dry and then reassessed. The section of hair treated with Sample Composition T had a more natural, supple feel. Sample Composition T provided better glide to the hair but was slightly frizzier than the section of hair treated with Comparative Composition 1. The section of hair treated with Comparative Composition 1 had better curl definition, slightly flatter curls, and a powdery feel. Comparative Composition 1 provided more control to the hair than Sample Composition T. Example 7

[0318] (Evaluation of Ex. T and Comp. 3)

[0319] Sample Composition T (Ex. T) was evaluated in comparison with Comparative Composition 3 (Comp. 1). Samples of approximately 15 grams of each of Sample Composition T 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, the sample of Sample Composition T 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.

[0320] The application of the compositions to the mannequin's hair was evaluated to determine the differences between Example Composition T and Comparative Composition 3. Example Composition T was easier to distribute through the hair than Comparative Composition 3. Both Example Composition T and Comparative Composition 3 allowed for easy detangling of the hair during application. Comparative Composition 3 was easily absorbed into the hair, but left a very thick petrolatum-like feeling.

[0321] The mannequin's hair was allowed to dry and then evaluated again. The section of hair treated with Example Composition T felt soft and dry. Example Composition T provided control over lightness and allowed fingers to glide easily through the hair. The section of hair treated with Comparative Composition 1 had a heavier coating that was sticky / tacky and transferred easily to the evaluator's hands. In addition, Comparative Composition 3 gave the hair a heavier feel. Example 8

[0322] (Evaluation of Ex. T and Comp. 2)

[0323] Sample Composition T (Ex. T) was evaluated in comparison with Comparative Composition 2 (Comp. 2). Samples of approximately 8 grams of each of the samples of Sample Composition T and Comparative Composition 2 were applied to the hair of a mannequin. The mannequin's hair was washed before the samples were applied. Specifically, the sample of Sample Composition T was applied evenly to one half of the mannequin's hair, and the sample of Comparative Composition 2 was applied evenly to the other half of the mannequin's hair.

[0324] The application of the compositions to the mannequin's hair was evaluated to determine the differences between Sample Composition T and Comparative Composition 2. Both Sample Composition T and Comparative Composition 2 were easy to distribute and allowed for easy detangling of the hair during application. Sample Composition T was easily absorbed into the hair, without leaving any residue. Comparative Composition 2 beaded on the hair and was not absorbed into the hair.

[0325] The mannequin's hair was allowed to dry and then reassessed. The section of hair treated with Sample Composition T showed no residue and had good glide. Sample Composition T provided a flexible hold but exhibited slightly more frizz than Comparative Composition 2. The section of hair treated with Comparative Composition 2 felt dry to the touch. Comparative Composition 2 produced a hard film that provided hair control but resulted in a white residue on the hair. Example 9

[0326] (Evaluation of the rheological properties of Ex. U)

[0327] The unique rheological characteristics of the example composition U were determined by evaluating the viscosity of such a cosmetic hair composition. Specifically, the viscosities of the sample of Example Composition U and the diluted sample of Example Composition U 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 performed at a temperature of 25 °C and atmospheric pressure. The sample was subjected to a shear ramp starting from 0.1 l / s up 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.

[0328] The viscosity of the sample of Example Composition U was greater than the viscosity of the diluted sample of Example Composition U. A graph illustrating the viscosities of the sample of Example Composition U and the diluted sample of Example Composition U as the shear rate increased is shown in [Fig. 1]. As seen in [Fig. 2], the emulsion of the diluted sample of Example Composition U (1:1 dilution of Example Composition U in water) dissociated. While it is currently believed that some embodiments of cosmetic hair compositions do not require dilution to transform from a cream to an oil, Figs. 1 and 2 are useful in illustrating the unique rheological characteristics of cosmetic hair compositions and how the cream transforms into an oil when applied to wet hair.Furthermore, as can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, the rheological characteristics of the U composition given as an example were different from traditional compositions having an emulsion.

[0329] Comparative Composition 7 was evaluated under the same conditions as Example Composition U to provide a comparison of the rheological properties of Example Composition U with Comparative Composition 7. [Fig. 3] is a graph illustrating the viscosities of the sample of Example Composition U, the diluted sample of Example Composition U, a sample of Comparative Composition 7, and a diluted sample of Comparative Composition 7 as the shear rate was increased.
