Description

Title of the invention: Cleaning wipe comprising a hydrophobic polymer SCOPE OF DISCLOSURE

[0001] The present case relates to a cleaning wipe comprising a hydrophobic polymer and methods for cleaning a substrate using the cleaning wipe. CONTEXT

[0002] A wide variety of pre-moistened wipe products are available for cleaning surfaces, for example, for household, automotive, medical, industrial, and personal use. Although their intended use may vary, they share several similar characteristics. For example, most cleaning wipes are rectangular or square in shape and are usually slightly larger than the average human hand. They are made from a soft, thin material that may be single-layered or multi-layered and are pre-moistened with a cleaning composition. In some cases, in addition to cleaning, they soften or soothe the surface being wiped (for example, personal hygiene wipes for human use). In other cases, they clean and revitalize the surface being wiped (for example, furniture or automotive wipes).

[0003] Cleaning wipes are often sold in plastic or other packaging such as tubes, bags, or other containers, and users extract the wipe by pulling it through a hole or slot in the packaging. Preferably, the hole or slot can be covered by a lid or other mechanism to prevent the cleaning wipes from drying out. Generally, the container or packaging is pre-filled with a supply of wipes. Some cleaning wipes are formed from a continuous series of material, having perforations to help separate one wipe from another, which is folded or rolled in a conforming manner for dispensing. Other conventional wipes are individually formed and separated from one another, and usually folded in a conforming manner for dispensing.In any case, most wipes are packaged together for distribution in a type of resealable container, in order to preserve the pre-moistening and prevent them from drying out.

[0004] A wide variety of cleansing wipes are commercially available to meet diverse consumer needs. For example, some consumers want scented wipes, while others require wipes without dyes, odors, or perfumes. Still other consumers want wipes containing lotions such as aloe vera, lanolin, or other materials, often with or without added alcohol. Other consumers want soft wipes, or wipes free of lotion, alcohol, or other additives. Regardless of these different consumer requirements, a critical element common to all cleansing wipes is the requirement for effective cleaning. When a cleansing wipe lacks sufficient cleaning properties, multiple wipes are used, resulting in unnecessary waste and time. Oils, dirt, and contaminants can spread when the cleansing wipe does not effectively and adequately lift and absorb them. Therefore, cleansing wipes with superior cleaning properties are desirable. DISCLOSURE SUMMARY

[0005] The cleansing wipes of this disclosure are remarkably effective at dislodging, absorbing, and removing contamination, including oils, makeup, and greasy contaminants. This effectiveness is due, at least in part, to a unique hydrophobic polymer that enhances the dispersion of the cleansing composition carried by the wipe. Furthermore, the hydrophobic polymer has a binding affinity with contaminants, thereby enhancing the ability of the cleansing wipes to rapidly dislodge and absorb them.Furthermore, the hydrophobic polymer reduces surface tension in the cleansing composition, allowing for the dispersion of smaller oil droplets throughout the composition. This results in robust and stable emulsions that successfully carry and deliver cleansing agents and other desirable active ingredients, such as skin-specific active ingredients, in situations where cleansing wipes are used to cleanse or treat the skin. Given these multiple advantages, cleansing wipes are particularly well-suited for lifting and removing makeup from the skin. Cleansing wipes typically include:

[0006] (i) a flexible, insoluble substrate, which may be a woven or non-woven substrate, in in which the substrate is impregnated with a cleaning composition; and

[0007] (ii) the cleaning composition, in which the cleaning composition comprises:

[0008] (a) a hydrophobic polymer formed as a reaction product of an oil natural or food-grade and a methacrylate or acrylate polymer;

[0009] (b) one or more solvents capable of solubilizing the reaction product of (a);

[0010] (c) one or more surfactants; and

[0011] (d) of water.

[0012] The flexible insoluble substrate can be a woven or non-woven substrate and absorbs or carries the cleaning composition; that is, the flexible insoluble substrate is impregnated with the cleaning composition. The flexible insoluble substrate can be formed from a variety of natural and synthetic materials. Furthermore, the flexible substrate insoluble can be a foam, a sponge, a wadding, a sheet, a fabric or a film.

[0013] The hydrophobic polymer is a reaction product of a natural or food-grade oil and an acrylate or methacrylate polymer. According to embodiments of the disclosure, however, the hydrophobic polymer is the reaction product of a natural or food-grade oil and a methacrylate polymer. The natural or food-grade oil may be a drying or semi-drying oil. Non-limiting examples include linseed oil, sunflower oil, tung oil, fish oil, cottonseed oil, soybean oil, or combinations thereof. The methacrylate polymer may be formed from methacrylate monomers, for example, monomers selected from isobutyl methacrylate, methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, n-butyl methacrylate, or combinations thereof.In a preferred embodiment, the hydrophobic polymer is formed from a natural or food-grade oil and an isobutyl methacrylate polymer and may preferably be an isobutyl methacrylate polymer.

[0014] In various embodiments, the hydrophobic polymer is the reaction product of approximately 50 to approximately 85 parts by weight of natural or food-grade oil and approximately 15 to approximately 50 parts by weight of methacrylate or acrylate polymer. More specifically, the hydrophobic polymer may be the reaction product of approximately 72 to approximately 77 parts by weight of natural or food-grade oil and approximately 23 to approximately 28 parts by weight of a methacrylate polymer. For example, the hydrophobic polymer may be the reaction product of linseed oil and poly(isobutyl methacrylate) in a suitable solvent, such as, for example, 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol monoisobutyrate. Preferably, the reaction product is formed from about 72 to about 77% linseed oil and about 23 to about 28% isobutyl methacrylate polymer in a suitable solvent, such as 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol monoisobutyrate.

[0015] One or more solvents capable of solubilizing the hydrophobic polymer of (a) are used to solubilize the hydrophobic polymer. A single solvent or a combination of solvents may be used, in which case the combination of solvents can solubilize the hydrophobic polymer of (a). In various embodiments, the one or more solvents capable of solubilizing the reaction product of (a) have a dispersion component (D), a polar component (P), and a hydrogen bonding component (H), and a distance (Ra) less than or equal to 13.4 MPa⁰.⁵ per Hansen solubility parameter, in which the distance (Ra) is defined by formula (I): [0°16] Ra = (I)

[0017] in which • Dr is 16.8 MPa0'5, • Pi is equal to 4.8 MPa0'5, and • Hr is equal to 13.0 MPa0'5.

[0018] Non-limiting examples of solvents capable of solubilizing the hydrophobic polymer of (a) include polycitronellol acetate, caprylic / capric triglyceride, isododecane, isohexadecane, tetradecane, isopropyl myristate, isopropyl alcohol, octyldodecanol, ethanol, phenoxyethanol, castor oil, and mixtures thereof. Polycitronellol acetate is particularly useful.

[0019] Surfactants include anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, amphoteric (zwitterionic) surfactants, and nonionic surfactants. In various embodiments, the cleaning composition includes one or more anionic surfactants and, optionally, one or more nonionic surfactants. Anionic surfactants are useful for their detergent properties. They are effective cleaners and can contribute to foam formation, if required. Non-limiting examples of anionic surfactants include glutamates, acyl taurates, alkanyl isethionates, alkyl succinates, alkyl sulfosuccinates, N-alkyl sarcosinates, alkyl phosphates, alkyl ether phosphates, alkyl ether carboxylates, alpha-olefin sulfonates, or combinations thereof. In various embodiments, the cleansing composition includes one or more acyl taurate surfactants.

[0020] One or more of the surfactants may be a biosurfactant. Non-limiting examples of biosurfactants include glycolipids (e.g., sophorolipids, rhamnolipids, cellobiose lipids, mannosylerythritol lipids, and trehalose lipids), lipopeptides (e.g., surfactin, iturine, fengycin, arthrofactin, and lichenysin), flavolipids, phospholipids (e.g., cardiolipins), fatty acid ester compounds, fatty acid ether compounds, and high molecular weight polymers such as lipoproteins, lipopolysaccharide-protein complexes, and polysaccharide-protein-fatty acid complexes. Preferably, at least one of the biosurfactants is a glycolipid.Non-limiting examples of glycolipids include sophorolipids, rhamnolipids, trehalose lipids, mannosylerythritol lipids, and combinations thereof, in which rhamnolipids are particularly preferred.

[0021] The cleaning composition includes a considerable amount of water, which forms all or part of the aqueous phase of the cleaning composition. In addition, the aqueous phase may include one or more water-soluble solvents, hydrophilic active agents, salts, etc. Similarly, the oily phase, in addition to the hydrophobic polymer, may include one or several lipophilic active agents, for example, one or more cutaneous active agents such as ceramides, cholesterol, etc.

[0022] Methods for cleaning a surface using cleansing wipes are also described. For example, in a preferred embodiment, the cleansing wipes are particularly useful for cleaning the skin and removing makeup from the skin. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0023] This disclosure relates to cleansing wipes impregnated with a cleansing composition. The cleansing composition is typically an oil-in-water emulsion comprising a hydrophobic polymer. The cleansing composition offers enhanced cleansing properties and is remarkably robust, versatile, and useful for carrying and delivering cosmetic ingredients, including skin actives. The cleansing wipe typically comprises:

[0024] (i) a flexible, insoluble substrate, which may be a woven or non-woven substrate, in in which the substrate is impregnated with a cleaning composition; and

[0025] (ii) the cleaning composition, in which the cleaning composition comprises:

[0026] (a) a hydrophobic polymer formed as a reaction product of an oil natural or food-grade and a methacrylate or acrylate polymer;

[0027] (b) one or more solvents capable of solubilizing the hydrophobic polymer (a);

[0028] (c) one or more surfactants; and

[0029] (d) of water.

[0030] The cleaning composition is preferably an oil-in-water emulsion. In various embodiments, the oil-in-water emulsion comprises oil droplets having an average size of about 10 nm to about 1 pm.

[0031] The cleansing composition may optionally include a variety of additional ingredients. For example, in some embodiments, the cleansing composition includes one or more skin-active agents, vitamins, thickening agents, water-soluble solvents, fatty acids, fatty alcohols, or combinations thereof. Non-limiting examples of skin-active agents include anti-wrinkle agents, anti-inflammatory agents, depigmenting agents, skin-renewing compounds, compounds that improve skin barrier function, anti-aging compounds, and the like.

[0032] Due to the stability, versatility, and multiple phases (oil / water) of the cosmetic composition, cosmetic compositions can include a variety of different skin actives. For example, the oil phase of the cosmetic composition may include one or more lipophilic skin actives. The aqueous phase of the cosmetic composition may include one or more hydrophilic skin actives. Non-limiting examples of useful skin actives include ceramides, ceramide precursors, cholesterol, cholesterol sulfate, beta-glucan, carob seed extract, Eperua falcata extract, amino acids, niacinamide and its derivatives, hyaluronic acid and its derivatives, allantoin, omega fatty acids, vitamins, vitamin precursors, retinoids including retinol, retinoic acid, tretinoin, isotretinoin, adapalene, or combinations thereof.

[0034] The cleansing composition is useful for cleaning a surface and is particularly useful for cleaning the skin. In a preferred embodiment, the cleansing composition is useful in processes for removing makeup from the skin, for example, facial skin. Insoluble flexible substrate

[0035] An "insoluble" substrate is one that does not readily dissolve or decompose upon immersion in water and the cleaning composition carried by the flexible insoluble substrate. A wide variety of materials can be used. The following non-limiting characteristics are desirable: (i) sufficient wet strength for the intended use, (ii) sufficient abrasiveness, (iii) sufficient swelling and porosity, (iv) sufficient thickness, and (v) appropriate size. The term "flexible" in relation to the flexible insoluble substrate means that the substrate is easily deformable and pliable. A typical cotton cleaning cloth is an example of a flexible substrate. The flexible insoluble substrate is absorbent, meaning it is capable of absorbing liquid through its surface and retaining it.

[0036] The insoluble flexible substrate can be a woven or non-woven substrate and absorbs or carries the cleaning composition; that is, the insoluble flexible substrate is impregnated with the cleaning composition. The insoluble flexible substrate can be made from a variety of natural and synthetic materials. Furthermore, the insoluble flexible substrate can be a foam, sponge, wadding, sheet, fabric, or film.

[0037] Non-limiting examples of suitable insoluble flexible substrates that meet the above criteria include nonwoven substrates, woven substrates, hydrobonded substrates, air-entangled substrates, and the like. Preferred embodiments use nonwoven substrates because they are economical and readily available in a variety of materials. By nonwoven, it is understood that the A layer is composed of fibers that are not woven into a fabric, but rather formed into a sheet, particularly a thin paper. The fibers can be random (i.e., randomly aligned) or they can be carded (i.e., combed to be oriented primarily in one direction). Furthermore, the nonwoven substrate can be composed of a combination of layers of random and carded fibers.

[0038] The insoluble substrate may comprise one or more layers and may be selected from woven materials, non-woven materials, foams, sponges, wadding, sheets, fabric or films. It may be a non-woven or woven substrate based on fibers of natural origin (linen, wool, cotton, silk, bamboo fibers) or of synthetic origin (cellulose derivatives, viscose, polyvinyl derivatives, polyesters, such as poly(ethylene terephthalate), polyolefins, such as polyethylene (PET) or polypropylene, polyamides, such as nylon, or acrylic derivatives), and their mixtures, such as viscose / PET, polylactic acid (PLA) or viscose / polylactic acid (viscose / PLA).

[0039] Nonwoven substrates can be composed of a variety of natural and synthetic materials. By natural, it is understood that the materials are derived from plants, animals, insects, or by-products. By synthetic, it is understood that the materials are obtained primarily from various artificial materials or from a material that is usually a fibrous fabric comprising one of the common synthetic or natural fibers of textile length, or mixtures thereof.

[0040] Non-limiting examples of useful natural materials include silk fibers, keratin fibers, and cellulosic fibers. Non-limiting examples of keratin fibers include those selected from wool fibers, camel hair fibers, and the like. Non-limiting examples of cellulosic fibers include those selected from wood pulp fibers, cotton fibers, hemp fibers, jute fibers, flax fibers, and mixtures thereof.

[0041] Non-limiting examples of useful synthetic materials include those selected from acetate fibers, acrylic fibers, cellulose ester fibers, modacrylic fibers, polyamide fibers, polyester fibers, polyolefin fibers, polyvinyl alcohol fibers, rayon fibers, and blends thereof. Examples of some of these synthetic materials include acrylics such as Acrylan®, Creslan®, and the acrylonitrile-based fiber Orlon®; cellulose ester fibers such as cellulose acetate, Arnel®, and Acele®; polyamides such as nylons (e.g., Nylon 6, Nylon 66, and Nylon 610); polyesters such as Fortrel®, Kodel®, and Dacron®; polyolefins such as polypropylene and polyethylene; polyvinyl acetate fibers, and blends thereof.

[0042] Woven substrates include knitted substrates and are often made from yarns or strings of natural or synthetic material woven into a cloth. Non-limiting examples include fabric and textiles. For example, cotton, polyester, and the like.

[0043] Nonwoven substrates made from natural materials consist of fabrics or sheets that are generally formed on a fine metal screen from a liquid suspension of the fibers. Substrates made from natural materials can be obtained from a wide variety of commercial sources. Non-limiting examples of suitable commercially available paper layers useful here include Airtex®, an air-embossed cellulose layer having a basis mass of about 71 gsy, available from James River Corporation, Green Bay, Wis.; and Walkisoft®, an air-embossed cellulose layer having a basis mass of about 75 gsy, available from Walkisoft USA, Mount Holly, NC

[0044] Useful nonwoven backings made from synthetic material can also be obtained from a wide variety of commercial sources. Non-limiting examples of suitable nonwoven layer materials useful here include HFE-40-047, a spunbonded material with openings containing about 50% rayon and 50% polyester, and having a basis weight of about 43 grams per square yard (gsy), available from Veratec, Inc., Walpole, Mass.; HEF 140-102, a spunbonded material with openings containing about 50% rayon and 50% polyester, and having a basis weight of about 56 gsy, available from Veratec, Inc., Walpole, Mass.; Novenet® 149-191, a thermally bonded lattice pattern material containing about 69% rayon, about 25% polypropylene and about 6% cotton, and having a basis weight of about 100 gsy, available from Veratec, Inc., Walpole, Mass.; HEF Nubtex® 149-801, a hydrobonded, dotted, open-hole material containing approximately 100% polyester and having a basis weight of approximately 70 gsy, available from Veratec, Inc., Walpole, Mass.; Keybak® 951V, a dry-formed open-hole material containing approximately 75% rayon, approximately 25% acrylic fibers, and having a basis weight of approximately 43 gsy, available from Chicopee Corporation, New Brunswick, NJ; Keybak® 1368, an open-hole material containing approximately 75% rayon, approximately 5% polyester, and having a basis weight of approximately 39 gsy, available from Chicopee Corporation, New Brunswick, NJ; Duralace® 1236, an open-hole, hydrobonded material containing approximately 100% rayon, and having a surface mass of approximately 40 gsy to approximately 115 gsy, available from Chicopee Corporation, New Brunswick, NJ; Duralace® 5904, an open-hole material, . hydrobonded, containing about 100% polyester, and having a surface mass of about 40 gsy to about 115 gsy, available from Chicopee Corporation, New Brunswick, NJ; Sontaro® 8868, a hydrobonded material, containing about 50% cellulose and about 50% polyester, and having a surface mass of about 60 gsy, available from Dupont Chemical Corp.

[0045] Insoluble substrates comprise two or more layers, each having a different texture and abrasiveness. The different textures can result from the use of different combinations of materials or from the use of a substrate having one more abrasive side for exfoliation and a softer, more absorbent side for gentle cleaning. Furthermore, separate layers of the substrate can be manufactured to have different colors, which helps the user to better distinguish the surfaces.

[0046] The substrate can be of any size and shape suitable for the intended use. Moreover, it generally has a surface area between 0.005 m2 and 0.1 m2, preferably between 0.01 m2 and 0.05 m2.

[0047] The impregnation rate of the composition on the substrate is generally from 100 to 1000%, preferably from 250 to 700% by weight of the substrate. Techniques for impregnating substrates with compositions are well known in the art and are all applicable to the present case. In general, the impregnation composition is optionally heated and added to the substrate by one or more techniques, including dipping, coating, spraying, etc.

[0048] A number of wipes are generally stored together in a single pouch; for example, 1 to 500, 1 to 100, or 5 to 50 individual wipes can be stored in a pouch or dispensing container, preferably a moisture-proof pouch or container. During storage and between dispensings, the pouch or container is preferably resealable. Pouches containing a single wipe can also be used.

[0049] The amount of impregnation composition (cleaning composition) relative to the substrate can range from approximately 20:1 to 1:20, preferably from 10:1 to approximately 1:10, and more preferably from approximately 2:1 to approximately 1:2 by weight. The cleaning wipe can be loaded with at least 1, 1.5, or 2 grams of the cleaning composition, as described herein, per gram of dry substrate, but typically not more than 5 grams per gram. (a) Hydrophobic polymer

[0050] The hydrophobic polymer is a reaction product of a natural or food-grade oil (oily component) and an acrylate component. In particular, the natural or food-grade oil may be a drying oil, preferably oil of flax. The reaction product may preferably include an isobutyl methacrylate backbone with a plurality of linseed oil side chains. Preferably, the reaction product is a product sold under the MYCELX® brand by MYCELX Technologies Corporation of Gainesville, Georgia. See US Patent No. 5,698,139 for a description of MYCELX materials.

[0051] The hydrophobic polymer comprises an oily component and a polymer component, typically reacted in a solvent. In a preferred embodiment, the hydrophobic polymer is a reaction product of linseed oil and poly(isobutyl methacrylate) in a solvent, such as 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol monoisobutyrate.

[0052] The oily component is derived from glycerin and carboxylic acids, such as linseed fatty acids, to form monoglycerides, diglycerides, and triglycerides. The oily component is preferably of vegetable or natural origin. Vegetable oils are obtained by cold-pressing the seeds of a plant to extract the oil they contain. Among vegetable oils, drying oils such as linseed and tung oil, semi-drying oils such as soybean and cottonseed oil, and non-drying oils such as coconut oil can be used as the oily component. The oily component typically forms about 72% to 77%, or most preferably 74.62%, of the hydrophobic polymer (e.g., linseed oil / isobutyl methacrylate).

[0053] The polymer component may be derived from α- and β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. The polymer component is the resulting product of a monomer that is an ester of acrylic acid, crotonic acid, isocrotonic acid, methacrylic acid, sorbic acid, cinnamic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, or methyl methacrylic acid. Non-limiting examples of useful polymers that cover any number of reaction possibilities between esters of these compounds include acrylate polymers, methyl methacrylate polymers, methyl / n-butyl methacrylate polymers, methacrylate copolymers, ethyl methacrylate, n-butyl methacrylate, isobutyl methacrylate, n-butyl / isobutyl methacrylate copolymers, or combinations thereof.

[0054] Preferably, the polymer is poly(isobutyl methacrylate). In particular, the percentage of polymer can be from about 23% to about 28%, or about 25.28%, of the hydrophobic polymer, for example, poly(linseed oil / isobutyl methacrylate). The hydrophobic polymer is a reaction product typically formed in a liquid solvent capable of dissolving or diluting the polymer component and the reaction product, i.e., the hydrophobic polymer (poly(oil / polymer)). The solvent or diluent should generally comprise any liquid or mixture of liquids capable of dissolving or diluting the hydrophobic polymer. The solvent / diluent can control The evaporation, desired flow, and coalescence of the hydrophobic polymer are involved. The solvent may be, for example, an aliphatic hydrocarbon, an aromatic hydrocarbon, alcohols, ketones, ethers, aldehydes, phenols, carboxylic acids, carboxylates, synthetic chemicals, and naturally occurring substances. Preferably, the solvent is 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol monoisobutyrate. The hydrophobic polymers according to this disclosure and the processes for manufacturing them are described, for example, in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,437,793, 5,698,139, 5,837,146, 5,961,823, 6,180,010, 6,475,393, and 6,805,727.

[0055] The amount of hydrophobic polymer in the cleaning composition will vary but is often in an amount of about 0.1 to about 15% by weight, relative to the total weight of the cleaning composition.In other embodiments, the total amount of hydrophobic polymer in the cleaning composition is approximately 0.1 to approximately 12% by weight, approximately 0.1 to approximately 10% by weight, approximately 0.1 to approximately 8% by weight, approximately 0.1 to approximately 5% by weight, approximately 0.1 to approximately 3% by weight, approximately 0.5 to approximately 15% by weight, approximately 0.5 to approximately 12% by weight, approximately 0.5 to approximately 10% by weight, approximately 0.5 to approximately 8% by weight, approximately 0.5 to approximately 5% by weight, approximately 0.5 to approximately 3% by weight, approximately 1 to approximately 15% by weight, approximately 1 to approximately 12% by weight, approximately 1 to approximately 10% by weight, approximately 1 to approximately 8% by weight. weight, from about 1 to about 5% by weight, from about 1 to about 3% by weight, from about 2 to about 15% by weight, from about 2 to about 12% by weight, from about 2 to about 10% by weight, from about 2 to about 8% by weight, from about 2 to about 5% by weight, relative to the total weight of the cleaning composition.

The one or more solvents may include a solvent used in the reaction to form the hydrophobic polymer, for example, 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol monoisobutyrate. The one or more solvents may be a single solvent or a plurality of solvents. For example, in various embodiments, the solvents capable of solubilizing the hydrophobic polymer of (a) have a dispersion component (D), a polar component (P), a hydrogen bonding component (H), and a distance (Ra) less than or equal to 13.4 MPa⁰.⁵ according to the Hansen solubility parameters, in which the distance (Ra) is defined by formula (I): [°°57] Ra - W + (p ~ P^ + ~ (I)

[0058] in which • Dr is 16.8 MPa0'5, • Pi is equal to 4.8 MPa0'5, and • equals 13.0 MPa0'5.

[0059] In a preferred embodiment, the one or more solvents have a dispersion component (D), a polar component (P), a hydrogen bonding component (H) and a distance (Ra) less than or equal to 9.9 MPa0.5 according to the Hansen solubility parameters, in which the distance (Ra) is defined by formula (I): 100601 ®

[0062] The solvent may be an oil. The term "oil" is intended to refer to a non-aqueous compound, immiscible with water, liquid at 25 °C and atmospheric pressure (760 mmHg; 1.013 x 10⁵ Pa). The solvent may be a non-silicone oil (for example, an oil that does not contain silicon atoms, and in particular does not contain Si-O groups). Non-limiting examples of one or more solvents (b) include caprylic / capric triglyceride, isopropyl myristate, and polycitronellol acetate. The solvent may include acetone.

[0064] In some embodiments, if oleic acid is used, at least some of the oleic acid may be supplied by a vegetable oil. The vegetable oil may be a seed or nut oil. The vegetable oil may have an oleic acid content of at least 20% by weight of the vegetable oil. The vegetable oil may include sunflower oil, soybean oil, macadamia nut oil, and / or avocado oil. In some embodiments, the solvent may include macadamia nut oil and may be free, or substantially free, of other vegetable oils.

[0065] For the purposes of this disclosure, one or more solvents capable of solubilizing the hydrophobic polymer of (a) may not individually solubilize the hydrophobic polymer of (a), but when combined with other solvents, the combination solubilizes the hydrophobic polymer of (a). Thus, when reference is made to a total quantity of one or more solvents capable of solubilizing the hydrophobic polymer of (a), the inclusion of all solvents that solubilize the hydrophobic polymer of (a) in combination is intended, even if one or more solvents in the combination do not individually solubilize the hydrophobic polymer of (a).

[0066] Non-limiting examples of solvents for solubilizing the hydrophobic polymer of (a), individually or in combination with other solvents, include polycitronellol acetate, caprylic / capric triglyceride, isododecane, isohexadecane, tetradecane, isopropyl myristate, octyldodecanol, ethanol, phenoxyethanol, castor oil, and mixtures thereof.

[0068] The total amount of one or more solvents capable of solubilizing the hydrophobic polymer of (a) in the cleaning composition will vary and can be adjusted according to the desired hydrophobic / lipophilic properties and the intended target to be cleaned. In some embodiments, it is desirable to have a smaller oil phase and, consequently, a smaller amount of one or more solvents is required. In other embodiments, it is advantageous to have a larger oil phase, so a greater amount of one or more solvents is required.

[0069] It may be useful to have a large aqueous phase. In this case, the total amount of one or more solvents capable of solubilizing the hydrophobic polymer (a) can be from about 0.05 to about 10% by weight, relative to the total weight of the cleaning composition. In other embodiments, the total amount of one or more solvents capable of solubilizing the hydrophobic polymer of (a) in the cleaning composition is from about 0.05 to about 8% by weight, from about 0.05 to about 5% by weight, from about 0.05 to about 3% by weight, from about 0.1 to about 10% by weight, from about 0.1 to about 8% by weight, from about 0.1 to about 5% by weight, from about 0.1 to about 3% by weight, about 0.5 to about 10% by weight, about 0.5 to about 8% by weight, about 0.5 to about 5% by weight, or about 0.5 to about 3% by weight, relative to the total weight of the cleaning composition.

(c) Surfactant

[0071] For the purposes of this disclosure, the term "surfactant" includes emulsifiers and detergents. Surfactants, or surface-active agents, are compounds that reduce surface tension between two liquids or between a liquid and a solid. Surfactants are amphiphilic, meaning they contain hydrophilic (water-loving) head groups and hydrophobic (water-hating or oil-loving) tails. Surfactants adsorb at the oil-water interface, thereby decreasing surface tension.

[0072] For the purposes of this disclosure, an "emulsifier" is a surfactant that stabilizes emulsions. Emulsifiers coat the droplets of an emulsion and prevent them from clumping together or coalescing. An "emulsion" is a mixture of two or more liquids, with or without an emulsifier, that are normally immiscible. One of the liquids, the "dispersed phase," forms droplets in the other liquid, the "continuous phase."

[0073] A “detergent” is a surfactant which has cleaning properties in dilute solutions and is typically anionic.

[0074] Surfactants may be anionic, cationic, amphoteric (zwitterionic), or nonionic. Preferably, the emulsions of the present case include one or more surfactants selected from anionic surfactants, amphoteric (zwitterionic) surfactants, nonionic surfactants, or mixtures thereof. In various embodiments, the emulsions are preferably free or substantially free of cationic surfactants. In other embodiments, the emulsions include one or more cationic surfactants. In preferred embodiments, the emulsions contain one or more biosurfactants, one or more anionic surfactants, optionally one or more non-ionic surfactants, or mixtures thereof.

[0075] In a preferred embodiment, the compositions of this disclosure include a plurality of surfactants, wherein the plurality of surfactants includes one or more biosurfactants and one or more surfactants other than one or more biosurfactants. In other embodiments, the compositions of this disclosure include one or more biosurfactants, one or more anionic surfactants, and optionally, one or more nonionic surfactants.

[0076] The total amount of one or more surfactants in the cleaning composition will vary but is typically about 0.5 to about 20% by weight, relative to the total weight of the cleaning composition. In other embodiments, the total quantity of one or more surfactants in the cleansing composition is approximately 0.5 to approximately 15% by weight, approximately 0.5 to approximately 12% by weight, approximately 0.5 to approximately 8% by weight, approximately 0.5 to approximately 6% by weight, approximately 1 to approximately 20% by weight, approximately 1 to approximately 15% by weight, approximately 1 to approximately 12% by weight, approximately 1 to approximately 10% by weight, approximately 1 to approximately 8% by weight, approximately 1 to approximately 6% by weight, approximately 2 to approximately 20% by weight, approximately 2 to approximately 15% by weight, approximately 2 to approximately 12% by weight, approximately 2 to approximately 10% by weight, approximately 2 to approximately 8% by weight, approximately 2 to approximately 6% by weight, from approximately 3 to approximately 20% by weight,from approximately 3 to approximately 15% by weight, from approximately 3 to approximately 12% by weight, from approximately 3 to approximately 10% by weight, from approximately 3 to approximately 8% by weight, from approximately 3 to approximately 6% by weight, from approximately 4 to approximately 20% by weight, from approximately 4 to approximately 15% by weight, from approximately 4 to approximately 12% by weight, from approximately 4 to approximately 10% by weight, from approximately 4 to approximately 8% by weight, from approximately 4 to approximately 6% by weight, relative to the total weight of the cleaning composition. Biosurfactant

[0077] The compositions of this disclosure may optionally include one or more biosurfactants. Biosurfactants are amphiphilic molecules, for example, glycolipids (e.g., sophorolipids, rhamnolipids, cellobiose lipids, mannosylerythritol lipids and trehalose lipids), lipopeptides (e.g., surfactin, urine, fengycin, arthrofactin and lichenysin), flavolipids, phospholipids (e.g., cardiolipins), fatty acid ester compounds, fatty acid ether compounds and high molecular weight polymers such as lipoproteins, lipopolysaccharide-protein complexes, and polysaccharide-protein-fatty acid complexes.

[0078] Biosurfactants are environmentally friendly, biodegradable and non-toxic and can be classified into high molecular weight and low molecular weight biosurfactants. Low molecular weight biosurfactants effectively reduce surface and interfacial tension, while high molecular weight biosurfactants are more effective as emulsion stabilizers. Examples of low molecular weight biosurfactants include glycolipids, such as rhamnolipids, sophorolipids, lipopeptides, and trehalolipids. These low molecular weight biosurfactants have hydrophilic heads composed of sugar motifs glycosidically linked to hydrophobic, nonpolar portions. Examples of high molecular weight biosurfactants include polysaccharides, lipopolysaccharides, proteins, and lipoproteins. Polysaccharide-based biosurfactants can be classified into sorbitan esters, sucrose esters, and glucose-based surfactants, which include alkyl polyglycosides and fatty acid glucamides.

[0079] Non-limiting examples of biosurfactants include lipopeptides such as surfactin; fatty acids and phospholipids, polymer matrix biosurfactants; particulate biosurfactants; and bacterial biosurfactants composed of polysaccharides, proteins, lipopolysaccharides, lipoproteins or complex mixtures of these biopolymers.

[0081] In one embodiment, the microbial biosurfactant is a glycolipid such as rhamnolipids (RLP), sophorolipids (SLP), trehalose lipid, or mannosylerythritol lipid (MEL). The biosurfactants may be added in purified form or may be present in the microbial composition due to microbial proliferation. The biosurfactant may be a sophorolipid. In some embodiments, the biosurfactant may also be a lipopeptide, such as surfactin, and / or a rhamnolipid.

[0082] In some embodiments, a mixture of biosurfactants is present. Preferably, the mixture comprises a rhamnolipid, and optionally one of mannosylerythritol lipid, surfactin, or sophorolipid, or both. In a preferred embodiment, the microbe is a non-pathogenic strain of Pseudomonas. Preferably, the strain is a producer of rhamnolipid biosurfactants (RLP).

[0083] Other microbial strains, including, for example, other fungal strains capable of accumulating significant amounts of, for example, glycolipid biosurfactants, may be used in accordance with the invention. Useful biosurfactants according to the present invention include mannoprotein, beta-glucan, and other metabolites that have bioemulsifying and surface / interfacial tension-reducing properties.

[0084] In various embodiments, one or more biosurfactants are selected from surfactin, iturine, fengycin, lichenysin, serrawettin, phospholipids, rhamnolipid, sophorolipid, trehalolipid, mannosylerythritol lipids, cellobiolipids, lipoproteins, rubiwettins, trehalose, omithine, pentasaccharide lipids, viscosine, bacitracin, lipopeptides, and combinations thereof. In one embodiment, the biosurfactants are selected from one or more glycolipids such as, for example, rhamnolipids, rhamnose-d-phospholipids, trehalose lipids, trehalose dimycolates, trehalose monomycolates, mannosylerythritol lipids, cellobiose lipids, ustilagic acid and / or sophorolipids.

[0085] In various embodiments, the biosurfactant has anionic character, for example, sophorolipids, trehalolipids, and rhamnolipids. Mono-rhamnolipids and di-rhamnolipids are preferred. The preferred alkyl chain length is from C8 to C12. The alkyl chain may be saturated or unsaturated.

[0086] The term “rhamnolipids” includes compounds of general formula (II) and their salts,

[0087] (II)

[0088] in which • mRL=2, 1 or 0, • nRL=l or 0, • R1rl and R2rl = are independently organic residues having 2 to 24, preferably 5 to 13 carbon atoms, in particular alkyl residues optionally mono-, bi- or tri-unsaturated, in particular optionally branched, optionally substituted, in particular hydroxy-substituted, optionally unsaturated, preferably those selected from the group consisting of pentenyl, heptenyl, nonenyl, undecenyl and tridecenyl and (CH2)o-CHs where o = 1 to 23, preferably 4 to 12.

[0089] If nRL=l, the glycosidic bond between the two rhamnose motifs is preferably in the a configuration. The optically active carbon atoms of the fatty acids are preferably present as R enantiomers (for example I-3-{L3-[2-O-(aL-rhamnopyranosyl)-aL-rhamnopyranosyl]oxydecanoyl]oxydecanoate).

[0091] The term "monorhamnolipid" in the context of the present invention means compounds of general formula (II) or their salts, where nRL=0.

[0092] The distinct rhamnolipides are abbreviated according to the following nomenclature: "diRL-CXCY" means the di-rhamnolipides of the general formula (II), in which one of the residues R1rl and R2rl =(CH2)o—CH3 where o=X-4 and the remaining residue R1 or R2 =(CH2) —CH3 where o=Y-4.

[0093] “monoRL-CXCY” refers to the mono-rhamnolipids of the general formula (II), in which one of the residues R1rl and R2RL=(CH.sub.2).sub.o—CH.sub.3 where o=X-4 and the remaining residue R1rl or R2rl=(CH2)o—CH3 where o=Y-4. The nomenclature used therefore does not distinguish between “CXCY” and “CYCX”.

[0094] For rhamnolipids where mRL=0, monoRL-CX or diRL-CX is used accordingly.

[0095] If one of the aforementioned indices X and / or Y is provided with ":Z", this means that the respective residue R1rl and / or R2rl is equal to an unbranched, unsubstituted hydrocarbon residue having X-3 or Y-3 carbon atoms having Z double bonds.

[0096] Relevant rhamnolipid preparation methods are disclosed, for example, in EP2786743 and EP2787065. Rhamnolipids can also be produced by fermentation of Pseudomonas, particularly Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which are preferably non-genetically modified cells, a technology already disclosed in the 1980s, as documented, for example, in EP0282942 and DE4127908. Rhamnolipids produced in Pseudomonas aeruginosa cells that have been enhanced to obtain higher rhamnolipid titers by genetic modification can also be used in the context of the present invention; such cells were, for example, disclosed by Lei et al. in Biotechnol Lett. 2020 Jun; 42(6):997-1002. Biosurfactants, particularly glycolipid surfactants, can be produced, for example, as in EP 0 499 434, US patentNo. 7,985,722, WO 03 / 006146, JP 60 183032, DE 19648439, DE 19600743, JP 01 304034, CN 1337439, JP 2006 274233, KR 2004033376, JP 2006 083238, JP 2006 070231, WO 03 / 002700, FR 2740779, DE 2939519, US patent No. 7,556,654, FR 2855752, EP 1445302, JP 2008 062179 and JP 2007 181789.

[0214] Droplet size can be determined using Brookhaven dynamic light scattering (DLS). DLS is a technique used to determine droplet size in a colloidal system or emulsion. When samples are illuminated with a monochromatic laser beam, the particles in the samples undergo Brownian motion, causing fluctuations in the intensity of the scattered light. The scattered light is then collected at different angles, and the autocorrelation function of these intensity fluctuations is analyzed. The analysis provides information on the particle diffusion rate, and from this, the size distribution is deduced using mathematical models. Brookhaven's DLS instruments use advanced algorithms to accurately interpret the data, providing insights into the dynamic behavior and size characteristics of particles ranging from a few nanometers to several micrometers in a liquid medium.

EXAMPLES

[0280] An implementation of this disclosure is provided by means of the following examples. The following examples are intended to illustrate certain aspects of the technology and are not exhaustive. Example 1

[0281] The compositions illustrated in the table below were prepared. The compositions were prepared by first mixing MycelX®, m-rhamnolipid, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, and the solvent (caprylic / capric triglyceride) with a small amount of water and mixing at 2,500 rpm for 2 minutes at 25°C to form a homogeneous mixture. The homogeneous mixture was then diluted with additional water to form an oil-in-water emulsion.

[0282] [Tables 1] According to the invention Comparative INGREDIENTS AB MycelX®1 2.6 m-Rhamnolipid 3.2 3.2 Sodium Cocoyl Taurate 1.3 1.3 Caprylic / Capric Triglyceride 0.6 0.6 Water QS 100 100 Makeup Removal Percentage 33% 32%

[0283] 1 Reaction product of linseed oil and isobutyl methacrylate polymer

[0284] A commercially available liquid foundation for facial application was applied to an artificial skin model, i.e., to soft black substrates (Miyoshi, Japan). A quantity of 20 microliters of the liquid foundation was applied uniformly to the substrates (20 microliters / 9 cm²). The liquid foundation was allowed to dry for 24 hours at 23–25 °C. After 24 hours, the L*a*b* values ​​were determined for the makeup-coated soft substrates using a Datacolor 600™ Spectraflash spectrometer. The L values ​​were recorded. The L value is a measure of the sample's brightness. The higher the L value, the whiter / lighter the sample.

[0285] Approximately 1.5 ml of the inventive cleansing composition A and the comparative composition B was applied to various cotton pads having a radius of approximately 2-3 cm. The soft, black, makeup-coated substrates were then wiped with the cotton pads. Wiping was performed under pressure controlled by a pressure sensor at a pressure of approximately 300 grams of force. After wiping, the black soft substrates were left to dry at 23-25 ​​°C. Once dry, the L*a*b* values ​​were determined again and the L values ​​recorded. When makeup is removed, the black soft substrate is revealed, resulting in a lower L value. Foundation is lighter (higher L value) than the black soft substrates, and therefore the more makeup there is on the substrate, the higher the L value. The percentage of foundation removal was determined as follows:

[0286] % elimination = (L before - L after) / (L before L flexible)

[0287] The results are announced in the table above and show that inventive composition A, which included MycelX®, offered greater removal of liquid foundation from soft black substrates. Example 2

[0288] Inventive compositions C and D in the table below were prepared as the compositions of Example 1. The "reference" is a commercially available cleansing product intended for use in removing makeup from the skin.

[0290] 1 Reaction product of linseed oil and isobutyl methacrylate polymer

[0291] A commercially available liquid foundation for application to the The face was applied to an artificial skin model, i.e., black soft substrates (Miyoshi, Japan). A quantity of 20 microliters of liquid foundation (20 microliters / 9 cm²) was applied evenly to the surface of the substrates. The liquid makeup was allowed to dry on the black soft substrates for 24 hours at 23–25 °C. After 24 hours, the L*a*b* values ​​were determined for the soft substrates coated with the dried makeup using a Datacolor 600™ Spectraflash spectrometer. The L values ​​were recorded. The L value is a measure of the brightness of the sample. The higher the L value, the whiter / lighter the sample.

[0292] Approximately 1.5 ml of the inventive composition C or D, or of the reference product, was applied to various cotton pads with a radius of approximately 2-3 cm. The black, makeup-coated soft substrates were then wiped with the cotton pads. Wiping was performed under pressure controlled by a pressure sensor with a force of approximately 300 grams. After wiping, the black, soft substrates were allowed to dry at 23-25 ​​°C. Once dry, the L*a*b* values ​​were re-evaluated and the L values ​​recorded (more makeup - higher L value). When the makeup is removed, the black, soft substrate (low L value) is revealed, resulting in a lower L value. The percentage of makeup removal from the substrates was determined as follows:

[0293] % elimination = (L before - L after) / (L before L flexible)

[0294] The results are announced in the table above and show that inventive compositions C and D, which included MycelX®, provided significantly greater makeup removal than the commercial reference. Example 3 Foam reinforcement

[0295] Tests were carried out to determine how MycelX® influences foam formation. The composition shown below was prepared according to the inventive procedure described in Example 2, i.e., a first concentrated composition was prepared followed by a dilution.

[0296] [Tables3] According to the invention. INGREDIENTS 1 2 3 4 MYCELX®1 0.6 0.6 5.2 0 Rhamnolipid 0.7 0.7 5.7 0.7 SODIUM METHYL COCOYL TAURATE 0.3 0.3 2.3 0.3 Polycitronellol acetate 0.1 Caprylic / capric triglyceride 0.1 0.1 Initial foam volume (ml) 59.4 47.0 56.2 31.1 Final foam volume (ml) 47.8 38.0 40.1 26.6

[0297] 1 Reaction product of linseed oil and isobutyl methacrylate polymer

[0298] A Krüss dynamic foam analyzer (DFA100) was used to measure the foamability of the compositions at a temperature of 25°C. The device uses a precisely controlled foaming process and an optical sensor that measures the quantity (volume) of foam produced and the foam degradation characteristic, i.e., the foam durability. The results reported in the table above show that both the initial and final foam volumes were significantly greater for the inventive compositions containing MycelX®.

[0299] As used herein, the terms "comprising", "having" and "including" are used in their broad and non-limiting sense.

[0300] The terms "a," "an," "the," and "the" are understood to encompass both the plural and the singular. Thus, the phrase "one of their mixtures" also refers to "their mixtures." Throughout the disclosure, the phrase "one of their mixtures" is used after 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 one of their mixtures." The phrase "one of their mixtures" does not require that the mixture include all of the items A, B, C, D, E, and F (although all of the items 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 chosen 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".

[0301] Similarly, the expression "one of their salts" also refers to "their salts". Thus, when the disclosure refers to "an item chosen from the group consisting of A, B, C, D, E, F, one of their salts, and one of their mixtures", 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.

[0302] The salts referred to throughout the disclosure may include salts having a counterion such as an alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, or ammonium counterion. This list of counterions, however, is not exhaustive. The appropriate counterions for the components described herein are known in art.

[0303] The expression "one or more" means "at least one" and therefore includes individual components as well as mixtures / combinations.

[0304] The term “plurality” means “more than one” or “two or more”.

[0305] The term "transparent" in relation 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. 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.

[0306] 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.

[0307] Except in operational examples, or unless otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities of ingredients and / or reaction conditions may in all cases be modified by the term "approximately", meaning to within + / - 5% of the stated number. Thus, for a range of "approximately 1 to approximately 10% by weight", the lower quantity of "approximately 1% by weight" may extend to 0.95% by weight, i.e., 5% less than 1% by weight. The upper quantity of "approximately 10% by weight" may extend to 10.5% by weight, i.e., 5% more than 10% by weight, i.e., a range of "0.95% by weight to 10.5% by weight".

[0308] All percentages, parts and ratios herein are based on the total weight of the compositions of the present invention, unless otherwise stated.

[0309] Some of the various identified component categories 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, some compounds may be considered both an oily solvent and a surfactant. If a particular composition includes both an oily solvent and a surfactant, a single compound will serve only as an oily solvent or only as a surfactant (the single compound does not simultaneously serve as both an oily solvent and a surfactant).

[0310] As used herein, all provided ranges are intended to include every specific range within the given ranges, as well as every combination of intermediate subranges. 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. 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 can serve as a minimum or maximum value for deducing a subrange, etc.

[0311] The expression "substantially free" or "essentially free" as used here means that there is less than about 2% by weight of a specific substance added to a composition, relative to the total weight of the compositions. However, compositions may include less than approximately 1% by weight, less than approximately 0.5% by weight, less than approximately 0.1% by weight, or none at all of the specified material. For example, if a composition is essentially free of compound X, the composition includes less than 2% by weight of compound X, or less than 1% by weight of compound X, or less than 0.5% by weight of compound X, or less than 0.1% by weight of compound X, or is free of compound X.

[0312] All components presented positively in this disclosure may be excluded negatively from the claims, for example, a claimed composition may be "free", "substantially free" (or "substantially free") of one or more components that are presented positively in this disclosure.< / e>
