Description

Title of the invention: SULFATE-FREE CLEANING COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING PEG / PPG-DIMETHICONES SCOPE OF DISCLOSURE

[0001] The present disclosure relates to sulfate-free cleansing compositions and methods of cleansing hair or body with the compositions. CONTEXT

[0002] Most "dirt" contains traces of oil and grease that adhere to the surface of skin and hair. Rinsing with water alone is not sufficient to adequately remove oil and grease. The main functional ingredients in cleaning compositions are surfactants. Surfactants interact with water, allowing it to "wet" surfaces more effectively. The surfactant-water combination is then able to surround the dirt stains and rinse them away. Agitation of the aqueous solution, for example by rubbing hands together while washing or lathering shampoo in the hair, also aids in the dirt removal process.

[0003] Conventional cleaning compositions such as shampoos, for example, contain surfactants in varying amounts. Anionic surfactants are typically included because they enable a composition to foam. Nonionic surfactants may also be included to provide cleaning, solubilizing, and dispersing properties, but are usually less irritating than anionic surfactants. Nonionic surfactants, however, often exhibit less foaming ability and provide no improvement in viscosity (e.g., a composition is often thinner and more liquid with increased amounts of nonionic surfactants). In some cleaning applications, a higher viscosity is desired for handling or ease of application of the product. In addition, higher viscosity personal care products are more aesthetically pleasing to many consumers.

[0004] The development of cleansing compositions has been driven by the need for certain performance properties that consumers find desirable. For example, consumers seek cleansing compositions that lather and cleanse well, have a certain “thickness” (viscosity), and are gentle on skin and hair. Cleansing compositions must also be rinsed off the body with ease. However, the addition of a particular component to a cleansing composition will often enhance one desired property at the expense of another desired property. It is therefore difficult to achieve a perfect balance between the desired performance properties. SUMMARY OF DISCLOSURE

[0005] The present disclosure relates to cleansing compositions free of sulfate-based surfactants. Sulfate-based surfactants are common in cleansing compositions, such as shampoo compositions, due to their strong cleansing properties. However, these properties can be harsh, particularly when used to cleanse delicate hair. Sulfate-based surfactants, like non-sulfate-based surfactants, remove unwanted dirt and contamination, but sulfate-based surfactants tend to strip hair of natural oils that normally help prevent dryness. Despite the absence of sulfate-based surfactants, the cleansing compositions of the present disclosure have powerful cleansing properties.The inventors have discovered that the use of one or more PEG / PPG dimethicones and propylene glycol imparts enhanced cosmetic properties to the compositions. For example, the inventors have discovered that the cleansing compositions preserve the color of artificially colored hair, enhance shine, moisturize the hair, and impart a pleasant tactile sensation to the hair.

[0006] The cleaning compositions include: a. one or more PEG / PPG dimethicones; b. propylene glycol; c. a plurality of surfactants, the plurality of surfactants comprising:

[0007] (c)(i) one or more non-sulfate-based anionic surfactants;

[0013] Non-limiting examples of nonionic surfactants include polyols with fatty acids (such as glycerol esters), alkyl polyglucosides, alkanolamides, polyoxyalkylenated nonionic surfactants, polyglycerolated nonionic surfactants, ethoxylated fatty esters, and a combination thereof.

[0016] The cleansing compositions are particularly useful for cleansing and conditioning hair. The compositions exhibit good cleansing ability, lather, lathering and lather stability, and conditioning properties. In addition, the cleansing compositions are particularly well-suited for cleansing artificially colored hair because the compositions preserve the color of the artificially colored hair while providing shine, smoothness, moisture, and a pleasant tactile film to the hair. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0017] The cleaning compositions of the present invention are free or essentially free of sulfate-based surfactants while providing good cleaning ability without removing desirable oils from the skin and hair. The compositions are particularly useful for cleaning artificially colored hair because they have a protective influence on the hair, i.e., they do not substantially remove the artificial color from the hair. In addition, they impart shine, smoothness, moisture, and a pleasant touch to the hair. Despite the inclusion of higher than typical amounts of non-sulfated anionic surfactants and cationic conditioning polymers, the compositions are stable. The cleaning compositions typically include: a. about 0.1 to about 4% by weight of one or more PEG / PPG dithiones; a. at least 0.5 to about 10% by weight of propylene glycol; b. about 10 to about 25% by weight of a plurality of surfactants, the plurality of surfactants comprising:

[0022] The cleansing compositions are typically an oil-in-water emulsion or dispersion. Due to the cleansing and conditioning properties of the cleansing compositions, the cleansing composition may be referred to as a "shampoo," a "conditioning shampoo," or an "all-in-one conditioning and shampoo composition." The cleansing compositions may also be a body wash or a hair and body wash. PEG / PPG-Dimethicones

[0025] Propylene glycol is a colorless, viscous liquid that is nearly odorless but has a slightly sweet taste. Its chemical formula is CH3CHCH2OH. Containing two alcohol groups, it is classified as a diol. The total amount of propylene glycol in cleaning compositions will vary. However, in various embodiments, the cleaning composition includes at least 0.4% by weight of propylene glycol, for example, about 0.5 to about 15% by weight of propylene glycol, based on a total weight of the cleaning composition.In additional embodiments, the cleaning composition includes about 0.5 to about 12 wt. %, about 0.5 to about 10 wt. %, about 0.5 to about 8 wt. %, about 0.5 to about 5 wt. %, about 0.5 to about 3 wt. %, about 0.8 to about 15 wt. %, about 0.8 to about 12 wt. %, about 0.8 to about 10 wt. %, about 0.8 to about 8 wt. %, about 0.8 to about 5 wt. %, about 0.8 to about 3 wt. %, about 1 to about 15 wt. %, about 1 to about 12 wt. %, about 1 to about 10 wt. %, about 1 to about 8 wt. %, about 1 to about 5 wt. %, about 1 to about 3 wt. %, at least 1 to about 15 ... at least 1 to about 12% by weight, at least 1 to about 10% by weight, at least 1 to about 8% by weight, at least 1 to about 5% by weight, at least 1 to about 3% by weight, based on a total weight of the cleaning composition.

[0026] The weight ratio of the one or more PEG / PPG-dimethicones of (a) to the propylene glycol of (b) will vary. However, in various embodiments, (a) and (b) are in a weight ratio of about 1:1 to about 1:20 or about 1:2 to about 1:20 ((a):(b)). In additional embodiments, (a) and (b) are in a weight ratio of about 1:2 to about 1:18, about 1:2 to about 1:15, about 1:2 to about 1:12, about 1:2 to about 1:10; from about 1:2 to about 1:8, from about 1:2 to about 1:7, from about 1:3 to about 1:20, from about 1:3 to about 1:18, from about 1:3 to about 1:15, from about 1:3 to about 1:12, from about 1:3 to about 1:10, from about 1:3 to about 1:8, or from about 1:3 to about 1:7. Plurality of surfactants

[0027] The cleaning compositions include one or more non-sulfated anionic surfactants, one or more amphoteric surfactants and one or more non-ionic surfactants. The non-sulfated anionic surfactants, the amphoteric surfactants and the Nonionic surfactants interact to form a surfactant system that imparts cleaning, stability, foaming, and lathering properties to cleansing compositions. Anionic surfactants carry a negative charge on the polar head group. These surfactants are typically used for their detergency properties. They are highly effective at removing dirt and oil from the body, hair, and scalp. Nonionic surfactants have little or no residual electrical charge. These surfactants can perform a variety of functions, such as emulsion stabilization, mild detergency, and viscosity modification. Amphoteric (zwitterionic) surfactants are doubly charged (having both a positive and a negative charge on the molecule).Many amphoteric surfactants exhibit pH-dependent charging behavior, having one charge at a lower pH and an opposite charge at a higher pH. These types of surfactants tend to be gentle on skin and hair. They can also offer foam-building properties in combination with anionic surfactants, which enhances foam.

[0028] The total amount of the plurality of surfactants in the cleaning composition will vary. However, in various embodiments, the cleaning composition includes about 10 to about 30 wt% of the plurality of surfactants, based on a total weight of the cleaning composition. In additional embodiments, the cleaning composition includes about 10 to about 25 wt%, about 10 to about 20 wt%, about 12 to about 30 wt%, about 12 to about 25 wt%, about 12 to about 20 wt%, about 15 to about 30 wt%, about 15 to about 25 wt%, or about 15 to about 20 wt%, based on a total weight of the cleaning composition.

[0029] In various embodiments, the total amount of the one or more non-sulfated anionic surfactants of (a) is greater than the total amount of the one or more amphoteric surfactants of (b); and the total amount of the one or more non-ionic surfactants of (c) is greater than the total amount of the one or more amphoteric surfactants of (b), i.e., (a) > (b) < (c). As explained in more detail later, in some embodiments, the total amount of the one or more anionic surfactants of (a) is greater than the total combined amount of the one or more amphoteric surfactants of (b) and the one or more non-ionic surfactants of (c), i.e., (a) > ((b)+(c)). (c)(i) Non-sulfated anionic surfactants

[0030] In some cases, the non-sulfated anionic surfactant(s) are the predominant type of surfactant in the cleaning composition (i.e., there is a higher percentage of non-sulfated anionic surfactant(s) than any other single type of surfactant in the cleaning composition). In addition, in some cases, the total amount of non-sulfated anionic surfactants in the cleaning composition is greater than the total amount of all other types of surfactants in the cleaning composition. In other words, the term "all other surfactants" means all surfactants in the cleaning composition other than non-sulfated anionic surfactants.

[0207] The cleansing composition described throughout the disclosure, as mentioned above, is surprisingly effective in preserving the color of artificially colored hair. Thus, in various embodiments, the cleansing composition preserves the color of artificially colored hair relative to a comparative cleansing composition lacking PEG / PPG dimethicone but otherwise identical to the cleansing composition and preserves the color of artificially colored hair relative to a comparative cleansing composition lacking propylene glycol but otherwise identical to the cleansing composition. Methods

[0208] The cleansing compositions of the present disclosure are particularly useful for cleansing and conditioning hair or skin. In addition, the cleansing compositions are useful for preserving the color of artificially colored hair. The cleansing compositions provide a variety of cosmetic and styling benefits such as beneficial to hair, for example, smoothness, detangling, and shine. Accordingly, the cleansing compositions are useful in methods of cleansing hair and skin, methods of conditioning hair and skin, and methods of imparting smoothness, detangling, and / or shine to hair. In addition, the cleansing compositions are useful in methods of preserving the color of artificially colored hair. The methods typically include applying the cleansing composition to the hair (or skin). The cleansing compositions may be massaged or spread onto the hair (or skin) and then rinsed from the hair (or skin).

[0209] In some cases, the methods include shampooing and / or conditioning the hair with a cleansing composition of the present disclosure. These methods typically include applying an effective amount of a cleansing composition to the hair, massaging or spreading the composition throughout the hair, and then rinsing the cleansing composition from the hair. Typically, the cleansing composition is simply left on the hair for a period of time sufficient to incorporate the cleansing composition into the hair, for example, by lathering the composition into the hair using one's hands. As is often the case when using shampoo and / or conditioning compositions, the hair may be wet or rinsed with water prior to applying a cleansing composition.Having water already in the hair can be helpful in creating lather when applying cleansing compositions because the water interacts with the surfactants in the surfactant system. EXAMPLES

[0210] 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

[0212] 1 This amount of propylene glycol comes from the addition of the ingredient “propylene glycol (and) PEG-55 propylene glycol oleate,” which is a mixture of propylene glycol and PEG-55 propylene glycol oleate. The ingredient is included as a source of PEG-55 propylene glycol oleate, not its propylene glycol content. Propylene glycol is an auxiliary component, possibly used to solubilize or stabilize PEG-55 propylene glycol oleate.

[0214] 2 to 25 °C measured with a Brookfield DV-LL+ Pro viscometer using the spindle RV 05 and a rotation speed of 12% rpm. Example 2

[0215] Tests were conducted with the cleansing compositions of Example 1 to investigate the roles of PEG / PPG dimethicone and propylene glycol. Commercially available 90% gray hair strands (SA20, 2.7 g, 27 cm) were obtained and initially cleansed with a standard shampoo. After cleansing the hair strands, the hair strands were colored with a standard commercially available oxidative dye (6Rr, light and intense red color). Then, the cleansing compositions of Example 1 were used individually to shampoo the artificially colored hair strands. The compositions of Example 1 were applied to the artificially colored hair strands (approximately 1 gram of composition per 1 gram of hair) and massaged into the hair before being rinsed from the hair.The water used to rinse the individual strands of hair was collected and visually compared by three people to determine the amount of color removed from the hair during rinsing (to measure color loss). After rinsing the compositions of Example 1 from the hair, the strands of hair were dried with a hair dryer. The cycle of washing the hair, rinsing the hair, and drying the hair was repeated until the strands of hair had been cleansed with the compositions of Example 1 six times. At the end of the six cycles, three laboratory experts independently evaluated the strands of hair and the rinse water for color loss, shine, smoothness, moisture, and tactile sensation. Using composition "A". As a reference, laboratory experts evaluated the hair strands using the following scale:

[0216] “1” Better than the reference;

[0217] “2” A little better than the reference;

[0218] “3” Equivalent to the reference;

[0219] “4” Rather lower than the reference; and

[0220] “5” Lower than the reference.

[0221] This procedure shows how cleansing artificially colored hair with Inventive Composition A compares to cleansing hair with Comparative Compositions B and C. The only differences between Inventive Composition A and Comparative Compositions B and C are the absence of PEG / PPG dimethicone in Composition B and the absence of propylene glycol in Composition C. The test provides a side-by-side comparison highlighting the individual impact of a PEG / PPG dimethicone and the individual impact of propylene glycol. The scores of the three laboratory experts were averaged and presented below.

[0222] [Tables2] ABC Loss of color when rinsing Reference 4 4 ​​Shine 2 4 Smoothness of dry hair 4 5 Hydration sensation of dry hair 4 4 Tactile sensation of dry hair 5 5

[0223] The data show that cleansing artificially colored hair with inventive composition A resulted in less color loss (improvements in color retention) than cleansing artificially colored hair with comparative compositions B and C. The benefits provided by inventive composition A, however, were not limited to color retention. In addition, cleansing with inventive composition A resulted in hair being smoother, more moisturized, and having a better tactile feel compared to hair cleansed with comparative compositions B and C. These results (improved color retention, smoothness, moisture, and overall tactile feel) were not predictable. The extent of the improvements and the fact that composition A provided improvements with respect to a multitude of cosmetically desirable properties are surprising.It is also surprising that the relatively small amounts of PEG / PPG dimethicone and propylene glycol used in Composition A provided such dramatic improvements. Composition C includes a small amount of . propylene glycol and includes hexylene glycol. Comparing compositions A and C, however, illustrates the relatively small increase in the amount of propylene glycol improved color retention, smoothness, hydration, and overall tactile feel of the hair.

[0224] The foregoing disclosure illustrates and describes embodiments of the invention. The disclosure shows and describes only the preferred embodiments, but it is understood that the invention may be used in various other combinations, modifications, and environments and may be subject to changes or modifications within the scope of the inventive concepts as expressed herein, based on the above teachings and / or the skill or knowledge of those skilled in the relevant art. The embodiments described herein are further intended to explain the best modes known to the applicant and to enable others skilled in the art to utilize the disclosure. Accordingly, the description is not intended to limit the invention.

[0225] As used herein, the terms "comprising," "having," and "including" (or "comprise," "have," and "include") are used in their open, non-limiting sense. The phrase "consisting essentially of" limits the scope of a claim to the specified materials or steps and to those that do not materially affect the basic and novel features of the claimed invention.

[0226] The terms “a”, “an”, “the” and “the” are understood to include the plural and the singular.

[0227] Thus, the term "a mixture thereof" is the same as "mixtures thereof" and is interchangeable with "a combination thereof" and "combinations thereof." Throughout the disclosure, the term "a combination thereof" 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 combination thereof." The term "a combination thereof" 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 formulation "one or more elements 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".

[0228] Similarly, the term "a salt thereof" also relates to "salts thereof." Thus, when the disclosure refers to "a member selected from the group consisting of A, B, C, D, E, F, a salt thereof, and a combination thereof," 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.

[0229] 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, however, is not limiting.

[0230] The expression “one or more” means “at least one” and therefore includes individual components as well as mixtures / combinations.

[0231] The term "plurality" means "more than one" or "two or more."

[0232] Except in working examples, or if otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing amounts of ingredients and / or reaction conditions may be modified in all cases by the term "about", meaning to within + / - 5% of the number indicated.

[0233] Some of the different ingredient categories identified for cleaning compositions may overlap. In cases where an overlap may exist and the composition / product includes two (or more than two) overlapping ingredients, an overlapping ingredient does not represent more than one component. For example, a fatty acid may be defined both as a “fatty compound” and separately as a “surfactant.” If a particular claimed composition / product includes both a fatty compound and a surfactant, a single fatty acid in a composition may serve solely as a fatty compound or solely as an emulsifier (a single fat is not considered to simultaneously qualify as both a fatty compound and a surfactant).

[0234] All percentages, parts and ratios herein are based on the total weight of the compositions of the present invention, unless otherwise indicated.

[0235] All ranges and values ​​disclosed herein are inclusive and combinable. For example, any value or point described herein that falls within a range described herein may serve as a minimum or maximum value to derive a subrange, etc. Further, all ranges provided are intended to include each specific range within the given ranges, and a combination of intermediate subranges of 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, etc.

[0236] The term "surfactants" includes salts of surfactants, to the extent that they exist, even if they are not explicitly indicated. In other words, whenever the disclosure refers to a surfactant, it is intended that salts of the surfactant are also encompassed to the extent that such salts exist, even if the specification does not specifically refer to a salt (or does not refer to a salt in all cases throughout the disclosure), e.g., in using a phrase such as "a salt thereof" or "salts thereof." Sodium and potassium are common cations that form salts with surfactants. However, additional cations such as ammonium ions, or alkanolammonium ions such as monoethanolammonium or triethanolammonium ions, can also form surfactant salts.

[0237] All components positively presented in the present disclosure may be negatively excluded. In other words, the cleaning compositions of the present disclosure may be free or essentially free of one or more of the components positively presented in the present disclosure.

[0238] The term "substantially free" or "essentially free" as used herein means that the specific material may be present in small amounts that do not materially affect the basic and novel features of the compositions according to the disclosure. For example, less than 1% by weight of a specific material may be added to a composition, based on the total weight of the composition (provided that an amount less than 1% by weight does not materially affect the basic and novel features of the claimed invention). Similarly, when a composition is substantially free of a particular element, the composition may include less than 1% by weight, less than 0.5% by weight, less than 0.1% by weight, less than 0.05% by weight, or less than 0.01% by weight, or none of the specified material.Furthermore, all components positively presented in the present disclosure may be substantially excluded from the claims, e.g., a claimed composition may be "free", "essentially free" (or "substantially free") of one or more components that are positively presented in the present disclosure.

[0239] 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.
