Description

Title of the invention: Hair treatment composition containing a fatty alcohol, a wax and a silicone FIELD OF DISCLOSURE

[0001] The present disclosure relates to hair treatment compositions containing a fatty alcohol, a wax and a silicone; and to methods for treating hair, for example, for conditioning, conditioning and improving the appearance and feel of hair. CONTEXT

[0002] Many people suffer from dry and damaged hair. Dryness and damage can occur due to several factors, including exposure to weather conditions, mechanical treatments (e.g., brushing hair), excessive treatments using chemicals, blow-drying hair, heat styling, etc. In combination, the use of washing products that can excessively remove natural oils from the hair, can also generate split ends, dull hair, and exacerbate dry hair. To mitigate the damage, oil-based treatments, conditioner, hair masks, and chemical treatments are commonly used.

[0003] The popularity and use of oils for treating dry hair has increased due to their effectiveness and simplicity. Commonly used oils include olive oil, mineral oil, avocado oil, apricot kernel oil, rice bran oil, and coconut oil. However, a problem is that effects are usually not seen until several hours (e.g., 8 hours) of treatment and multiple treatments are usually required, making the process time-consuming and laborious.

[0004] People desire a treatment for hair or damaged hair that is neither time-consuming nor laborious. Various approaches have been developed to revitalize hair. A common method to provide a revitalizing benefit is to use conditioning agents such as cationic surfactants and polymers, high melting point fatty compounds, low melting point oils, silicone compounds, and combinations thereof. Most of these conditioning agents are known to provide various revitalizing benefits.

[0005] However, it remains to provide an improved hair-disciplining action, for example, improved hair alignment, reduction of unwanted volume (especially reduction of frizz), and increased shine. It is also born necessary to develop hair care products that can provide other benefits at the same time, in addition to the treatment and conditioning benefits, such as styling, volume, shaping, curl definition (for curly or wavy hair), and the ability to restyle or reshape (without the need to reapply the product). SUMMARY OF DISCLOSURE

[0006] The present disclosure relates to a hair treatment composition and methods of conditioning, taming, and improving the appearance and feel of hair. The compositions are useful in hair treatment methods, for example, conditioning, smoothing, reducing frizz and flyaways, and improving manageability and volumizing effects. The compositions include a multitude of ingredients providing synergistic blends of hair enhancements. However, the more complex a formulation becomes, the more difficult it is to avoid negative interactions between components. Among the major issues are compatibility and stability, particularly long-term stability. Often, the inclusion of one ingredient for one specific purpose will negatively impact or eliminate the beneficial properties of another component included for a different purpose.However, the inventors of the present disclosure have discovered compositions that effectively integrate a plurality of beneficial components into a single composition, which is stable and effective and simultaneously imparts a myriad of benefits to the hair. For example, the composition imparts deep conditioning, softness, shine / luster to the hair in addition to reducing instances of "flyaways." The conditioning effects also improve the slippage of the hair, even when wet, making it easier to detangle the hair.

[0007] The compositions generally include: a. one or more fatty alcohols b. one or more monoalkyl cationic surfactants; c. one or more dialkyl cationic surfactants; d. one or more fatty compounds other than the fatty alcohols of point (a),

[0008] in which at least one compound among one or more fatty compounds is wax at a level of at least 1% by weight, relative to the total weight of the hair treatment composition;

[0009] (e) one or more silicone oils; and

[0010] (f) one or more amino-functionalized silicones; and

[0011] (g) water,

[0012] all weight percentages being based on the total weight of the hair treatment composition.

[0013] In various embodiments, the composition further includes: one or more water-soluble solvents; one or more thickening agents; one or more amphoteric surfactants and / or nonionic surfactants; and / or one or more miscellaneous ingredients selected from amino acids, pH adjusters, salts, fragrances, preservatives, antioxidants, composition colorants, botanical extracts, proteins, peptides, particulate fillers, vitamins, or a combination thereof.

[0017] The amount of one or more monoalkyl cationic surfactants is generally greater than the amount of one or more dialkyl dimonium-based cationic surfactants, for example, the amount of one or more monoalkyl cationic surfactants may be two or three times greater than the amount of one or more dialkyl cationic surfactants. In addition, the amount of one or more fatty alcohols is generally greater than the combined amount of the monoalkyl and dialkyl cationic surfactants.

[0018] Non-limiting examples of fatty ester waxes include hydrogenated castor oil wax, candelilla wax, camauba wax, hydrogenated jojoba wax, beeswax, ozocerite, lanolin wax, lignite wax, paraffin, palm kernel wax, ceresin, silicone waxes, cetyl esters, or a combination thereof.

In some cases, it may be advantageous to include more than one water-soluble solvent, i.e., a mixture of two or more water-soluble solvents.

[0021] Thickening agents are useful for thickening the hair treatment composition and help to impart a pleasant viscosity, shape, and feel to the composition. Thickening agents include anionic, nonionic, and cationic thickening agents, typically thickening polymers. In some cases, the use of one or more nonionic thickening polymers is useful, for example, nonionic polysaccharide thickening agents. Non-limiting examples of nonionic polysaccharide thickening agents include gums, such as sclerotium gum, guar gums, guar gum derivatives, and xanthan gum, celluloses, such as hydroxyalkylcelluloses optionally modified with a hydrophobic group, inulins, carrageenans, carrageenan derivatives, or a combination thereof.

[0023] Various ingredients may also be included in the hair treatment compositions. Non-limiting examples include amino acids, pH adjusters, salts, fragrances, preservatives, antioxidants, composition colorants, botanical extracts, proteins, peptides, particulate fillers, vitamins, or a combination thereof.

[0024] The compositions may be applied immediately after shampooing, for example, in place of a conditioner. The compositions may also be applied to the hair immediately after shampooing and conditioning, for example, as a rinse-out or leave-in treatment mask. The compositions may also be applied before shampooing as pre-treatment compositions. In various embodiments, after applying the compositions to the hair, the hair is rinsed with water, dried, and styled as desired. In other embodiments, the compositions are applied as a leave-in product. For example, the compositions may be applied to wet or damp hair and may remain on the hair indefinitely, i.e., the hair composition is not removed or rinsed from the hair before styling. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0025] The hair treatment compositions of the present disclosure are particularly useful for conditioning hair, for example, by providing smoothness, reducing frizz and flyaways, and improving manageability. Despite containing disparate types of ingredients, including ingredients that are difficult to formulate and use with each other, the compositions are stable and retain the benefits provided by the various ingredients. The stability and effectiveness of the compositions are due, at least in part, to the combination of certain types, amounts, and ratios. The penetrating ability of the compositions allows conditioning actives (such as cationic surfactants) and fatty compounds (including fatty alcohols and oils) to penetrate deep into the hair shaft, preventing them from being easily removed by subsequent washing and rinsing.Treated hair does not suffer from being "flat" or "greasy," which is a common problem with typical conditioning compositions. The hair is left feeling light and manageable with a healthy, natural shine. Compositions typically include: . a. 2 to 9% by weight of one or more fatty alcohols a. 2 to 4% by weight of one or more monoalkyl cationic surfactants; b. 0.1 to 3% by weight of one or more dialkyl cationic surfactants; c. 0.5 to 10% by weight of one or more fatty compounds other than alcohols bold of point (a),

[0221] all weight percentages being based on the total weight of the hair treatment composition. Viscosity

[0222] The compositions of the present disclosure generally have a viscosity of about 1 mPa.s to about 1,000 mPa.s at 25°C, about 1 to about 500 mPa.s, or about 1 to about 100 mPa.s. Viscosity measurements may be made, for example, using a Brooksfield Viscometer, Model: DV- / / + Pro (Brookfield Engineering Laboratories, Inc.) with a Helipath-94 spindle and a rotational speed of 12 rpm. As noted above, one or more thickening polymers may optionally be included in the compositions, which will increase the viscosity of the compositions.

[0223] In various embodiments, the composition has a viscosity of about 1 mPa.s to about 500 Pa.s, about 1 Pa.s to about 250 Pa.s, about 1 Pa.s to about 100 Pa.s, about 5 Pa.s to about 500 Pa.s, about 5 Pa.s to about 250 Pa.s, about 5 Pa.s to about 100 Pa.s, about 10 Pa.s to about 500 Pa.s, about 10 Pa.s to about 250 Pa.s, about 10 Pa.s to about 100 Pa.s, about 30 Pa.s to about 500 Pa.s, from about 30 Pa.s to about 250 Pa.s, from about 30 Pa.s to about 100 Pa.s, from about 50 Pa.s to about 500 Pa.s, about 50 Pa.s to about 250 Pa.s, about 50 Pa.s to about 100 Pa.s, or about 50 Pa.s to about 75 Pa.s. Methods

[0224] The hair treatment compositions of the present disclosure are useful for treating hair, for example, for conditioning, conditioning, and improving the appearance and feel of the hair. The compositions may be applied to wet or damp hair and may be massaged into the hair, for example, with the hands, and / or distributed throughout the hair using a comb or brush. This results in smoothing and softening of the hair, thereby reducing frizz, dryness, and unwanted volume. The compositions may remain in the hair or may optionally be rinsed from the hair prior to drying and / or styling. Preferably, the hair treatment composition is rinsed from the hair after being applied and massaged into the hair.

[0225] The hair treatment compositions, in some embodiments, may be used as a leave-in product. The compositions may be applied to wet or damp hair and may remain on the hair indefinitely, i.e., the hair composition is not rinsed or removed from the hair prior to styling.

[0226] Methods of treating hair according to the disclosure also include methods according to various routines. For example, the compositions may be mixed with a shampoo (or conditioner) before being applied to the hair. Alternatively, the composition may be layered onto (or lathered into) hair to which the shampoo (or conditioner) is already applied. Furthermore, the composition may be applied separately from the shampoo (or conditioner), i.e., to the hair after the shampoo (or conditioner) has been rinsed off the hair. In some cases, it is preferable to treat the hair with a composition of the present disclosure before shampooing, for example, to apply the composition to wet or damp hair before applying shampoo to the hair. After shampooing, the hair may also be treated (optionally) with a conditioner. Kits

[0227] The hair coloring compositions of the present disclosure may be incorporated into a kit. For example, the kits may include at least one composition according to the present disclosure and one or more additional compositions, e.g., a shampoo, a conditioner, etc. The various compositions are contained separately in the kits. In some cases, the kits include one or more compositions according to the present disclosure and a shampoo, both of which are packaged separately. The kits may also include one or more compositions according to the present disclosure, a shampoo, and a conditioner, all of which are packaged separately. Instructions, mixing components, brushes, gloves, measuring tools, etc. may also be optionally included in the kits.

[0228] The compositions may be packaged in a variety of different containers, such as, for example, a ready-to-use container. Non-limiting examples of useful packaging include tubes, jars, capsules, unit-dose packages, and bottles, including squeezable tubes and bottles. In some cases, the package is a tube, such as a tube having two compartments, or dual tubes, each forming a separate compartment. Each compartment may include a different composition. For example, one tube or compartment may include a composition according to the present disclosure, and the other tube may include a composition to be used with the composition, e.g., a shampoo, conditioner, or all-in-one shampoo / conditioner (i.e., a conditioning shampoo; also referred to as a "co-wash").

[0229] Methods of treating hair according to the disclosure may vary but generally include applying a composition of the present disclosure to the hair, allowing the composition to remain on the hair for a sufficient period of time, and rinsing the compositions from the hair. The composition may be applied to the hair in sequence with other compositions. For example, the compositions may be applied to the hair before shampooing the hair, after shampooing the hair, before conditioning the hair, and / or after conditioning the hair. However, the compositions do not necessarily have to be used in sequence.

[0230] The compositions of the present disclosure may remain on the hair for a minimal period of time before being rinsed from the hair, but it is not necessary to leave the composition on the hair. Conveniently, the compositions may be applied and left on the hair for a period of time that is typical for regular shampooing and / or conditioning. For example, the composition (whether combined with another hair treatment composition such as a shampoo or conditioner) may be applied to the hair and may remain on the hair for a few seconds (1, 2, 3 or 5 seconds) up to about 1, about 2, about 5, about 10, about 15, about 20, about 25 or about 30 minutes.

[0231] The hair treatment composition may be applied to the hair immediately immediately before or after treating the hair with another composition (e.g., shampoo and / or conditioner). For example, the hair treatment compositions may be applied to the hair within approximately 1, 2, 5, 10 or 20 minutes before or after applying shampoo and / or conditioner to the hair.

[0232] The compositions of the present disclosure are unique in their ability to provide hair with improved manageability, long-lasting style, frizz control, and softness. Accordingly, the present disclosure relates to methods of treating hair, for example, to improve hair manageability, to provide long-lasting style and frizz control, and to provide smoothness. More specifically, the compositions can be used in methods for conditioning hair, providing curl definition, controlling frizz, improving combability and detangling, and providing smoothness. EXAMPLES

[0233] Various modifications may be made to the compositions and methods described above without departing from the scope of the invention. Accordingly, it is intended that any disclosure contained in the above description and in the examples given below be interpreted in an illustrative and not limiting sense. Example 1

[0235] Tests were conducted to determine how the compositions of Example 1 were applied to human volunteers. Tests were conducted on a total of 3 volunteers. The hair of each volunteer was first washed with a standard shampoo. After rinsing the hair to remove the shampoo, while the hair was still wet (damp), Composition A of the invention was applied to half of the head hair. One of the Comparative Compositions CH was applied to the other half of the head hair. Comparative Composition B was not tested because it was not stable. Shortly after preparation, the phase of Comparative Composition B was separated.Composition A of the invention and comparative compositions CH were applied to damp hair and massaged throughout the hair, and then Composition A of the invention and comparative compositions CH were left on the hair for approximately 1 minute. The compositions were then rinsed off from the hair. Once rinsing was complete, the hair, while still wet, was independently rated by a panel of three expert hair assessors on a scale of 1 to 5 for the attributes listed in the table below. The hair was blow-dried and re-rated by the panel of three expert hair assessors.

[0236] “1” indicates that the attribute was better than the composition of the invention (reference).

[0237] “2” indicates that the attribute was slightly better than the composition of the invention (reference).

[0238] “3” indicates that the attribute was equivalent to the composition of the invention (reference)

[0239] “4” indicates that the attribute was slightly lower than the composition of the invention (reference).

[0240] “5” indicates that the attribute was lower than the composition of the invention (reference).

[0241] The scores of the expert evaluator panels were averages and are presented in the table below.

[0242] [Tables2] Tested Attributes: INV. Comparative ABCDEFGH Wet Combing Reference Not Tested (Phase Separation) 2 4 3 3 4 3 Wet Smoothness 4 5 4 4 5 2 Dry Combing 3 4 3 4 3 3 Wet Smoothness 4 4 2 4 2 4 Lightness 3 4 5 3 4 4 Anti-Frizz 5 5 2 4 4 3

[0243] The results show that none of the comparative compositions obtained results comparable to those of composition A of the invention.

[0244] As already mentioned, comparative composition B was unstable. This shows the need for one or more fatty alcohols in the composition. Despite the presence of other fatty compounds (cetyl esters, isopropyl myristate and soybean oil), comparative composition B was unstable without one or more fatty alcohols.

[0245] Comparative Composition C illustrates the need for a sufficient amount of one or more monoalkyl cationic surfactants (such as ceterimonium chloride and / or behentrimonium chloride). Comparative Composition C, which lacked a sufficient amount of one or more monoalkyl cationic surfactants, did not provide adequate smoothness and did not provide sufficient anti-frizz properties to the hair.

[0246] Comparative Composition D illustrates the need for one or more dialkyl cationic surfactants (such as dicetyldimonium chloride). Comparative Composition D, which lacked dialkyl cationic surfactants, did not provide attributes to the hair comparable to those of Composition A of the invention.

[0247] Comparative composition E illustrates the need for one or more fatty ester waxes (such as cetyl esters). Comparative composition D, which lacked a fatty ester wax, showed improvements on dry hair (smooth appearance and anti-frizz properties), but the hair had a "flat" appearance compared to composition A of the invention. It also did not provide improvements to wet hair.

[0248] Comparative composition F illustrates the importance of silicone oil (such as dimethicone). In the absence of a sufficient amount of silicone oil, Comparative Composition F did not provide the desired amount of smoothness, ease of dry combing, and anti-frizz properties.

[0249] Comparative Composition G illustrates the importance of an amino-functionalized silicone (such as amodimethicone). In the absence of a sufficient amount of amino-functionalized silicone, Comparative Composition G did not provide the desired degree of wet combability and smoothness and provided less lightness and anti-frizz attributes to the hair.

[0250] Comparison H includes large amounts of one or more fatty alcohols (12% by weight). Although treatment with Comparison Composition H showed a slight improvement over wet smoothness, it did not provide improvements to dry hair. It performed worse than Composition A of the invention with respect to dry smoothness and lightness.

[0251] The terms “comprising”, “having” and “including” are used in their broad and non-limiting sense.

[0252] The terms “a”, “an”, “the” and “the” are understood to include the plural and the singular.

[0253] The term "cationic surfactant" as defined by the present disclosure is a surfactant that can be positively charged when contained in the hair treatment compositions according to the disclosure. The cationic surfactant may carry one or more positive permanent charges or may contain one or more functional groups that are cationizable in the composition according to the disclosure.

[0254] The compositions and methods of the present invention may comprise, consist of, or consist essentially of the essential elements and limitations of the disclosure described herein, as well as any additional or optional ingredients, components, or limitations described herein or otherwise useful.

[0255] A "hair coloring agent" or "hair colorant" is a compound or ingredient included in compositions for intentionally changing the color of hair. Non-limiting examples of coloring agents include direct dyes, oxidative dye precursors, coupling agents, bleaching agents (e.g., peroxides such as hydrogen peroxide), etc.

[0256] A “hair coloring composition” is a composition designed and used to intentionally change the color of hair.

[0257] A “composition colorant” is a compound or ingredient that colors the composition but does not have an appreciable coloring effect on the hair. In other words, the composition colorant is included to impart color to the composition for aesthetic purposes but is not intended to impart coloring properties to the hair. Hair styling gels, for example, can be found in a variety of different colors (e.g., light blue, light pink, etc.), but applying the styling gel to the hair does not visibly change the hair color. Thus, a composition colorant is different from a hair coloring agent. A composition colorant colors compositions; a hair coloring agent can (and often does) change the color of compositions, but it also changes the color of hair.

[0258] The term "rinse-off" as used herein indicates that the composition is used in a context where the composition is ultimately rinsed or washed off the treated surface (e.g., skin, hair, or hard surfaces) after or during application of the product. Such rinse-off compositions should be distinguished from "leave-on" compositions. For example, a rinse-off composition is applied to the hair, may remain on the hair for a short period of time (e.g., a few seconds up to about 5, 10, or 15 minutes), and is then rinsed off the hair before styling the hair.

[0259] The compositions described throughout this disclosure may be "leave-on" compositions. A "leave-on" composition refers to a composition that is applied to the skin or hair and is not subjected to immediate rinsing and / or washing, for example for at least 4 hours or for a period of time in the range of 4 hours up to 72 hours, 4 hours up to 48 hours, or 8 hours up to 36 hours, or 8 hours up to 24 hours. In other words, the product is applied to the hair and remains on the hair, as styled, i.e., it is not removed from the hair before styling the hair.

[0260] A "lamellar phase" generally refers to the organization of long-chain polar head and non-polar tail molecules in a bulk polar liquid environment (i.e., hair water), as sheets of bilayers separated by bulk liquid.

[0261] The term "non-linear fatty acids" as used in the present disclosure refers to an unsaturated fatty acid and / or branched fatty acids.

[0262] The term "transparent" with respect to a transparent composition indicates that the composition has a transmittance of at least 80% at a wavelength of 600 nm, measured, for example, using a Lambda 40 UV-visible spectrometer. The compositions may have, for example, a transmittance of at least 80%, at least 90%, or at least 95% at a wavelength of 600 nm, measured, for example, using a Lambda 40 UV-visible spectrometer. The term "clear" is interchangeable with the term "transparent" for the purposes of this disclosure. A person can typically see through a transparent composition, for example, and read the text on the other side of a clear glass or clear plastic bottle containing the composition.

[0263] The term "translucent" in relation to a translucent composition indicates that the composition has a transmittance of at least 50% at a wavelength of 600 nm, measured for example using a Lambda 40 UV-visible spectrometer. A person probably cannot see through a translucent composition, for example, and read the text on the other side of a clear glass or clear plastic bottle containing the composition. Instead, the text is usually blurred and difficult if not impossible to read, however movement and structure can normally be identified.

[0264] The term "opaque" in relation to an opaque composition indicates that the composition is not transparent or translucent, i.e., it has a transmittance of less than 50% at a wavelength of 600 nm, for example as measured using a Lambda 40 UV-visible spectrometer.

[0265] All percentages, parts and ratios herein are based on the total weight of the compositions of the present disclosure, unless otherwise indicated.

[0266] All ranges and values ​​disclosed in the specification are inclusive and combinable. For example, any value or point described in the specification that falls within a range described herein may serve as a minimum or maximum value to derive a subrange, etc. In addition, all ranges provided are intended to include each specific range within the given ranges, as well as a combination of subranges therein. Thus, a range of 1-5 specifically includes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, as well as subranges such as 2-5, 3-5, 2-3, 2-4, 1-4, etc.

[0267] Except in the working examples, or unless otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities of ingredients and / or reaction conditions are understood to be modified in all circumstances by the term "about", meaning to within + / - 5% of the number indicated.

[0268] As used in the specification, the term "at least one" is interchangeable with "one or more" and therefore includes individual components as well as mixtures / combinations.

[0269] The term "substantially free" or "essentially free" as used in the specification 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 about 0.01% by weight, or none of the specified material.

[0270] The term "active ingredient," as used herein with respect to the percentage amount of an ingredient or raw material, refers to 100% of the activity of the ingredient or raw material. All ingredients are listed as 100% active ingredient unless otherwise indicated.

[0271] “Cosmetically acceptable” means that the article in question is compatible with a keratin substrate such as skin and hair. For example, a “cosmetically acceptable vehicle” means a vehicle compatible with a keratin substrate such as skin and hair.

[0272] Throughout the disclosure, the phrase "a related combination" (or a related mixture) is used, after a list of elements as shown in the following example where the letters A through F represent the elements: "one or more elements selected from the group consisting of A, B, C, D, E, F, and a related combination." The phrase "a related combination" does not require that the mixture include all of the elements A, B, C, D, E, and F (although all of the elements A, B, C, D, E, and F may be included). Rather, it indicates that a combination of two or more of the elements A, B, C, D, E, and F may be included. In other words, it is equivalent to the phrase "one or more elements selected from the group consisting of A, B, C, D, E, F, and a combination of two or more of A, B, C, D, E, and F."

[0273] Similarly, the phrase "an associated salt" also relates to "associated salts." Thus, when the disclosure refers to "a member selected from the group consisting of A, B, C, D, E, F, an associated salt, or a combination thereof," it indicates that one or more of A, B, C, D, and F may be included, that 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 that a combination 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.

[0274] Salts referred to throughout the disclosure may include salts having a counterion such as an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, or an ammonium counterion. This list of counterions is not, however, limiting.

[0275] Some of the compounds discussed throughout the disclosure may be present as a salt in the composition or may be added to the composition as a salt (and dissociate in the composition). Thus, all compounds and amounts of compounds refer to both the salt form of the compound and the dissociated form of the compound. In other words, even if the phrase "an associated salt" is not specifically or expressly stated with respect to ingredients that may form salts or be available as salts, it is understood that the salt form of the compound is included.

[0276] The term "included" for a concentration range means that the limits of this range are included in the defined interval.

[0277] “Volatile,” as used herein, means having a flash point less than about 100°C.

[0278] “Non-volatile,” as used herein, means having a flash point greater than about 100°C.

[0279] The term "polymers" as defined in the specification includes homopolymers and copolymers formed from at least two different types of monomers.

[0280] The term "INCI" is an abbreviation for International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients, which is a system of names provided by the Personal Care Products Council's International Nomenclature Committee to describe the ingredients of personal care products.

[0281] In this document, all ranges provided are intended to include each specific range within the given ranges, as well as a combination of intermediate sub-ranges. Thus, a range of 1 to 5 specifically includes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, as well as sub-ranges such as 2-5, 3-5, 2-3, 2-4, 1-4, etc.

[0282] All components and elements positively presented in the present disclosure may be negatively excluded from the claims. In other words, the compositions of the present disclosure may be free or substantially free of all components and elements positively recited throughout the present disclosure.

[0283] Some of the various categories of components identified may overlap. In those cases where an overlap may exist and the composition includes both components (or the composition includes more than two overlapping components), an overlapping compound or ingredient does not represent more than one component of the claims. For example, if a polyacrylate falls within the description of a thickening polymer and the description of a film-forming polymer, a single polyacrylate is considered to be solely the thickening polymer or solely the film-forming polymer. A specific polyacrylate cannot be simultaneously interpreted as a thickening polymer and a film-forming polymer, for example, where the claims disclose both a thickening polymer and a film-forming polymer (even though the polyacrylate can function as both a thickening polymer and a film-forming polymer).In other words, a single compound or ingredient cannot simultaneously perform the function of two different components or elements of a claim.

[0284] All publications and patent applications cited in this specification are incorporated herein by reference, and for all purposes, as if each individual publication or patent application were specifically and individually indicated as being incorporated by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between this disclosure and any publication or patent application incorporated herein by reference, this disclosure shall control.
