Description

Title of the invention: ANHYDROUS HAIR TREATMENT COMPOSITION SCOPE OF DISCLOSURE

[0001] This disclosure relates to an anhydrous hair treatment composition and methods for treating hair with the composition. The compositions and methods are useful for moisturizing hair, treating split ends, and controlling frizz. CONTEXT

[0002] Many consumers wish to use cosmetic and care compositions that improve the appearance of hair, for example, by changing the color, style, and / or shape of the hair and / or by giving the hair various cosmetic properties, such as shine and revitalization. Hair can become dry or damaged for various reasons, for example, exposure to the elements, poor nutrition, mechanical treatments (e.g., brushing), styling treatments using chemicals, dyes, heat, nutrients, etc. Even cleansing products tend to remove the hair's natural oils, causing dryness and potentially leading to a dull appearance and split ends. People with curly hair may also face additional challenges in maintaining their hair.Curly hair tangles more easily and can be more difficult to style.

[0003] Environmental factors, such as salt water, sunlight, and heat, as well as chemical treatments, are also known to damage hair. Various types of chemical treatments include, for example, hair bleaching and coloring, perms, perming products, and straightening treatments. These chemical treatments change the appearance of hair by altering its physical structure, which inevitably causes some degree of hair damage. Damaged hair is characterized by unnatural changes in the protein structure of individual hair strands or shafts. The damage results in split ends, dry, straw-like hair, hair that breaks easily, and hair that is frizzy and difficult to style. Since the visible part of the hair is dead, it cannot regenerate itself.

[0004] Many over-the-counter and salon treatments are supposed to repair damaged hair. Silicones, for example, are used to provide lubrication and shine. silicones work by coating the cuticle, the outermost layer of the hair fiber. They are often found in conditioners because they increase slip, help retain moisture, and leave hair feeling soft. This increased slip makes detangling easier. Silicones are also used for their anti-frizz properties because they can form a coating on the hair that resists the humidity that causes frizz. However, silicones can build up on the hair and leave a residue that is difficult to wash out. Ultimately, this residue prevents moisture from being absorbed into the hair, leading to dryness and damage over time. Additionally, silicones can weigh down hair, especially fine hair, causing it to lose volume and elasticity.

[0005] Products that condition hair include rinse-out conditioners, leave-in conditioners, deep conditioning treatments, and co-washes. Rinse-out conditioners are the most common type of conditioning product. They are applied after shampooing and rinsed out before drying and styling. Rinse-out conditioners typically remain on the hair for only a few minutes before being rinsed out, but they are suitable for most hair types and can be used daily or as needed.

[0006] Leave-in conditioners are generally applied to the hair after shampooing and are not rinsed out. They remain on the hair during drying and styling and are designed to provide long-lasting moisture and nourishment, making them a popular choice for dry or damaged hair. Leave-in conditioners can also offer additional benefits such as heat protection, frizz control, and detangling. They are especially useful for people who frequently style their hair or who need extra moisture throughout the day.

[0007] All-in-one shampoos / conditioners (also called "co-wash" or "conditioning shampoos") attempt to combine the cleansing benefits of a shampoo with the conditioning properties of a conditioner. They cleanse the hair while simultaneously conditioning it, making for a convenient and simplified hair care routine. Cleansing compositions, such as shampoos, are designed to remove sebum, oil, and debris from the hair, which is the opposite of conditioning. Many conditioning products are designed to deliver oil and other conditioning agents to the hair. In addition, effective shampoos cause the hair cuticle to open, which helps release and remove debris. Effective conditioning products, on the other hand, are Designed to seal the cuticle to prevent moisture release and provide extra protection for the hair. A single product cannot open and seal the cuticle simultaneously.

[0008] Hair conditioning products on the market come in various forms, such as solutions, lotions, creams, sprays, oils, and even aerosols. Regardless of the form, consumers are looking for lightweight products that do not weigh down the hair or give it a greasy or oily texture. Ideally, revitalized hair should have a natural, healthy appearance, a pleasant shine, and a natural flow. The best hair conditioning products moisturize the hair, protect it from heat and other environmental damage, and control frizz and flyaways. DISCLOSURE SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0028] This case relates to an anhydrous hair treatment composition that provides softness, hydration, and conditioning benefits to the hair, and to hair treatment processes using the anhydrous hair treatment composition. The anhydrous hair treatment composition is typically used as a leave-in product but is also useful as a rinse-out product. Using the anhydrous hair treatment composition moisturizes the hair, reduces or prevents frizz, improves curl definition, and imparts softness and shine to the hair. The anhydrous hair treatment composition usually includes:

[0029] (a) approximately 35 to approximately 75% by weight of one or more vegetable oils, in which one or more vegetable oils comprise approximately 25% by weight or more of castor oil;

[0030] (b) approximately 20 to approximately 50% by weight of one or more emollients, in which the one or more emollients comprise approximately 5% by weight or more of caprylic / capric triglyceride;

[0031] provided that (a) and (b) are in a weight ratio of about 1:1 to about 4:1 ((a):(b));

[0032] (c) approximately 0.1 to approximately 5% by weight of one or more oil-thickening agents polymers; and

[0033] (d) optionally, about 0.1 to about 5% by weight of one or more agents sensorially active;

[0034] in which all percentages by weight are based on a total weight of the composition. (a) Vegetable oils

[0035] The anhydrous hair treatment composition includes one or more vegetable oils, provided that one or more of the vegetable oils is castor oil (also known as "castor oil"). For the purposes of this disclosure, vegetable oils are oils derived from plants that are liquid at room temperature (25°C, 1 atm) or can be solubilized with other vegetable oils and exist in liquid form at room temperature. For example, coconut oil may be solid at room temperature, but if it is solubilized in castor oil, it exists in liquid form at room temperature. Vegetable oils are derived from various plant sources, such as nuts, almonds, grape seeds, olives, and avocados. For example, coconut oil is extracted Olive oil is extracted from the fruit's pulp, while jojoba oil is extracted from the seed. Vegetable oils are generally obtained by pressing, which can be either cold or hot. Cold pressing involves pressing the plant to extract the oil without raising the temperature above 40°C. Hot pressing involves heating the plant, which increases the oil yield but can alter its quality.

[0036] For the purposes of this disclosure, the term "vegetable oil" does not include essential oils, and the term "essential oil" does not include vegetable oils, even though essential oils are obtained from plants. In cases where dual use exists such that a particular oil can be interpreted as both a vegetable oil and an essential oil, a single oil cannot serve simultaneously as both a vegetable oil and an essential oil in the composition of an anhydrous hair treatment.

[0037] The total amount of one or more vegetable oils in the anhydrous hair treatment composition will vary but is typically about 35 to about 75% by weight, relative to the total weight of the anhydrous hair treatment composition.In other embodiments, the anhydrous hair treatment composition includes approximately 35 to approximately 70% by weight, approximately 35 to approximately 65% ​​by weight, approximately 35 to approximately 55% by weight, approximately 35 to approximately 50% by weight, approximately 35 to approximately 45% by weight, approximately 40 to approximately 75% by weight, approximately 40 to approximately 65% ​​by weight, approximately 40 to approximately 55% by weight, approximately 45 to approximately 75% by weight, approximately 45 to approximately 65% ​​by weight, approximately 45 to approximately 55% by weight, approximately 50 to approximately 75% by weight, approximately 50 to approximately 70% by weight, approximately 50 to approximately 65% ​​by weight, approximately 50 to approximately 60% by weight, approximately 55 to about 75% by weight, about 55 to about 70% by weight, or about 55 to about 65% by weight of one or more vegetable oils, relative to the total weight of the anhydrous hair treatment composition.Preferably, the anhydrous hair treatment composition includes approximately 40 to approximately 70% by weight, more preferably approximately 45 to approximately 65% ​​by weight, and even more preferably approximately 50 to approximately 65% ​​by weight of one or more vegetable oils, relative to the total weight of the hair treatment composition.

[0038] (a)(i) Castor oil

[0039] Castor oil is a vegetable oil pressed from castor beans. It is a colorless or pale yellow liquid with a boiling point of approximately 313 °C (595 °F) and a density of approximately 0.961 g / cm³. It comprises a mixture of triglycerides in which approximately 90% of the fatty acids are ricinoleates. Oleic acid and linoleic acid are other important components. Thus, castor oil is well known as a source of ricinoleic acid, an 18-carbon monounsaturated fatty acid. Among fatty acids, ricinoleic acid is unusual in that it has a hydroxyl functional group on its twelfth carbon atom. This functional group makes ricinoleic acid (and castor oil) more polar than many other oils.

[0040] The anhydrous hair treatment composition typically includes a substantial amount of castor oil, preferably about 25% by weight or more of castor oil, relative to the total weight of the anhydrous hair treatment composition.

In the presence of dual use, only one substance or compound will be interpreted as an essential oil, a cooling agent, a warming agent, a terpene, and / or a terpenoid. A single substance or compound does not act simultaneously as one or more of an essential oil, a cooling agent, a warming agent, or a terpene and / or a terpenoid. For example, when menthol is included in an anhydrous hair treatment composition, menthol is interpreted as an essential oil if it is included or added as an essential oil, or menthol serves as a cooling agent or terpene.

[0093] The composition of an anhydrous hair treatment may include one or more essential oils. Essential oils are concentrated liquid extracts of aromatic plants, typically in the form of volatile oils containing compounds that give the plants their characteristic scents and therapeutic properties. Distillation involves passing steam through the plant, causing the aromatic compounds to evaporate. The steam is then cooled and condensed, separating the essential oil from the water. Essential oils are derived from different parts of plants, such as the flowers, leaves, bark, roots, or fruit. For example, lavender essential oil is extracted from the flowers, lemon essential oil from the peel, and ginger essential oil from the from the rhizome. Essential oils have a unique chemical composition that can vary within the same plant species, or from one plant to another.

[0094] For the purposes of this disclosure, the term "essential oil" is used in accordance with the European Pharmacopoeia; and essential oils can be identified and characterized according to Do et al., Proposal for a standardised method for the identification of essential oils by HPTLC, Pharmeur. Bio. Sci. Notes. 2021; 2021: 157-166 (PMID: 34751647). Essential oils are of plant origin and can therefore fall under the broad category of vegetable oils, but they can be considered a specific and unique type of vegetable oil. For the purposes of this disclosure, the term "vegetable oil" does not include essential oils, and the term "essential oil" does not include vegetable oils, even though essential oils are obtained from plants. In cases where dual use could exist such that a particular oil could be interpreted as both a vegetable oil and an essential oil, a single oil cannot serve simultaneously as both a vegetable oil and an essential oil in the composition of an anhydrous hair treatment.

(e) Miscellaneous ingredients

[0108] The anhydrous hair treatment composition optionally includes one or more miscellaneous ingredients. Miscellaneous ingredients are ingredients that are compatible with the anhydrous hair treatment composition and that do not disrupt or materially affect the fundamental and innovative properties of the composition of anhydrous hair treatment. Various ingredients commonly used in cosmetics and hair care products are known in the art. Non-limiting examples include preservatives, perfumes, pH adjusters, salts, chelating agents, buffers, antioxidants, flavonoids, vitamins, botanical extracts, UV filtering agents, proteins, protein hydrolysates, emollients, humectants, hydrotropes, fillers (e.g., organic or inorganic, such as talc, calcium carbonate, dextrin, silica, etc.), pearlescent agents, composition colorants, etc.

[0109] In the context of this disclosure, a "composition colorant" is a compound that colors the composition but does not have an appreciable coloring effect on the hair.In other words, the colorant is included to give the product color for aesthetic purposes, but is not intended to impart coloring properties to the hair. Hair gels, for example, may come in a variety of different colors (e.g., light blue, light pink, etc.), but applying the hair gel to the hair does not visibly change the hair color.

[0110] In addition to the non-exhaustive list of miscellaneous ingredients presented above, components described as optional throughout this disclosure may be characterized as miscellaneous ingredients if they are not expressly presented as a required component of the anhydrous hair treatment composition. Thus, the term "miscellaneous ingredient" is understood as a general term representing additional components that may optionally be present in quantities designated for miscellaneous ingredients.

[0111] The total quantity of miscellaneous ingredients in the anhydrous hair treatment composition, if any, will vary. Nevertheless, the anhydrous hair treatment composition typically includes from about 0.01 to about 10% by weight of one or more miscellaneous ingredients, relative to the total weight of the anhydrous hair treatment composition.

Viscosity

[0112] The viscosity of the anhydrous hair treatment composition will vary. However, in some embodiments, the viscosity of the treatment composition anhydrous capillary is about 100 to about 10,000 cP measured at 25 °C using a Brookfield DV2 viscometer with an RV-2 spindle at 30 seconds, at a shear rate of 30 rpm.The viscosity of the anhydrous hair treatment composition is preferably from approximately 100 to approximately 8,000 cP, from approximately 100 to approximately 5,000 cP, from approximately 100 to approximately 2,000 cP, from approximately 100 to approximately 1,200 cP, from approximately 100 to approximately 1,000 cP, from approximately 100 to approximately 800 cP, from approximately 100 to approximately 500 cP, from approximately 120 to approximately 10,000 cP, from approximately 120 to approximately 8,000 cP, from approximately 120 to approximately 5,000 cP, from approximately 120 to approximately 2,000 cP, from approximately 120 to approximately 1,200 cP, from approximately 120 to approximately 1,000 cP, from about 120 to about 800 cP, from about 120 to about 500 cP, from about 150 to about 10,000 cP, from about 150 to about 8,000 cP, from about 150 to about 5,000 cP, from about 150 to about 2,000 cP, from about 150 to about 1,200 cP, from about 150 to about 1,000 cP, from about 150 to about 800 cP or from about 150 to about 500 cP measured at 25 °C using a Brookfield DV2 viscometer with an RV-2 spindle at 30 seconds, at a shear rate of 30 rpm.

[0113] Preferably, the anhydrous hair treatment composition has a viscosity of about 100 to about 5,000 cP, more preferably about 120 to about 2,000 cP, and even more preferably about 150 to about 1,000 cP at 25°C using a Brookfield DV2 viscometer with an RV-2 spindle at 30 seconds, at a shear rate of 30 rpm. Hair treatment processes

[0114] As its name suggests, an anhydrous hair treatment composition is particularly useful in hair processing, especially for human hair. An anhydrous hair treatment composition is useful both as a rinse-out product and as a leave-in product. A "rinse-out" product refers to a composition that is rinsed and / or washed from the hair with water after or during its application to the hair, and before drying and / or styling the hair. At least a portion of the composition is removed from the hair during rinsing and / or washing. A "leave-in" product refers to a composition that is not rinsed and / or washed from the hair after or during its application to the hair. The composition remains on the hair during drying and / or throughout styling.

[0115] Methods of using the anhydrous hair treatment composition include hair care methods, hair conditioning methods, hair hydration methods, hair smoothing methods, hair frizz reduction methods, and hair shine enhancement methods. The methods include applying an effective amount of the anhydrous hair treatment composition on the hair. For example, the anhydrous hair treatment composition can be applied to hair in need of conditioning, hair in need of hydration, hair in need of smoothing, hair prone to frizz or suffering from flyaways, hair in need of shine, or any combination thereof. Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the anhydrous hair treatment composition is applied to damaged hair, for example, damaged hair in need of strengthening, hydration, conditioning, smoothing, frizz control, or any combination thereof.

[0116] In a preferred embodiment, the anhydrous hair treatment composition is applied to wet or damp hair, for example, freshly washed and possibly conditioned hair. After rinsing out shampoo and possibly conditioner, while the hair remains wet or damp, an effective amount of the anhydrous hair treatment composition is applied to the wet or damp hair. During application, the anhydrous hair treatment composition may be massaged, combed, or otherwise distributed over the hair and scalp. Preferably, the anhydrous hair treatment composition is distributed over all of the hair, including the ends.Once the anhydrous hair treatment composition has been distributed through the hair, it can be rinsed out, or the hair can be washed with shampoo and optionally treated with conditioner. In this embodiment, the anhydrous hair treatment composition is a rinse-out product. Before rinsing the anhydrous hair treatment composition from the hair or shampooing the hair, the anhydrous hair treatment composition is preferably left on the hair for a period, for example, from about 30 seconds to about 30 minutes. The period can also be from about 1 minute to about 30 minutes, from about 1 minute to about 15 minutes, from about 1 minute to about 10 minutes, from about 1 minute to about 5 minutes, or from about 5 minutes to about 15 minutes.

[0117] Preferably, the anhydrous hair treatment composition is not rinsed or washed off the hair but is applied as a leave-in product. After applying the anhydrous hair treatment composition to wet or damp hair, it is not rinsed or washed off. Instead, the hair to which the anhydrous hair treatment composition has been applied is allowed to dry, or it is force-dried, for example, with a hairdryer, and then styled. Alternatively, the hair may be styled while still wet or damp and then dried. Preferred modes of implementation

[0213] Inventive compositions A, C, and D differ from one another with respect to the amounts of vegetable oils and emollients, resulting in different ratios of vegetable oils to emollients. Inventive compositions A, C, and D were stable, had a suitable viscosity of at least 100 cP, and conferred excellent cosmetic benefits for all tested attributes.

[0214] Comparative composition Cl is identical to inventive composition A except that it is devoid of castor oil. Instead of 37.5% by weight of castor oil, comparative composition Cl included 37.5% by weight of avocado oil. Hair treated with comparative composition Cl was oily and did not exhibit sufficient frizz control, curl definition, and smooth texture. This demonstrates the importance of castor oil in the hair treatment compositions of the present disclosure.

[0215] Comparative composition C-2 is identical to inventive composition A except that it is devoid of coconut oil. Instead of 10% by weight of coconut oil, comparative composition C-2 included an additional 10% by weight of soybean oil. Comparative composition C-2 had acceptable viscosity, but hair treated with comparative composition C-2 was oily and did not exhibit sufficient frizz control and curl definition. This demonstrates the importance of coconut oil in the hair treatment compositions of the present disclosure.

[0216] Comparative composition C-3 is identical to inventive composition A except that it includes only 0.7% by weight of caprylic / capric triglyceride instead of 10.7% by weight. The amounts of dicaprylyl ether, isopropyl isostearate, and dicaprylyl carbon were all increased equally to compensate for the lack of caprylic / capric triglyceride. Comparative composition C-3 was very thick and had a lumpy texture. Furthermore, hair treated with comparative composition C-3 did not exhibit sufficient frizz control, curl definition, and smooth texture. This demonstrates the importance of caprylic / capric triglyceride in the compositions of this disclosure.

[0217] Comparative composition C-4 is identical to inventive composition A except that it lacks oil-based thickening agents. The composition was too thin (lack of sufficient thickening). Comparative composition C-4 had a viscosity of 68 cP measured at 25 °C using a Brookfield DV2 viscometer with an RV-2 spindle at 30 seconds, with shear. Hair treated with comparative composition C-4 was evaluated as inferior to hair treated with inventive compositions A, C, and D for all attributes tested except for the oily appearance of the skin and hair. This demonstrates the importance of oil-based thickening agents in the compositions of this disclosure.

[0218] Comparative composition C-5 is identical to inventive composition A except that it includes 2% by weight of silica instead of 0.3% by weight of oil thickening agents. Silica is an inorganic thickening agent commonly used to thicken oily compositions. However, even with a high amount of 2% by weight of amorphous silica having an average diameter of 5 microns, the silica has precipitated from the emulsions and did not provide thickening. Comparative composition C-5 was too thin (lacking sufficient viscosity). Hair treated with comparative composition C-4 was oily and did not provide sufficient frizz control, curl definition, and smooth texture. This demonstrates the importance of the oil-based thickening agent in the compositions of this disclosure.

[0219] Comparative composition C-6 is identical to inventive composition A except that the weight ratio between the vegetable oil and the emollient is 5:1 ((a):(b)), which is higher than the claimed weight ratio of approximately 1:1 to approximately 4:1. Hair treated with comparative composition C-6 was oily and did not exhibit sufficient frizz control, curl definition, and smooth texture. Furthermore, despite a very high amount of vegetable oils, comparative composition C-6 was too thick. This demonstrates the importance of the claimed weight ratio.

[0220] Comparative composition C-7 is identical to inventive composition A except that the weight ratio between the vegetable oil and the emollient is 1:0.7 ((a):(b)), which is lower than the claimed weight ratio of approximately 1:1 to approximately 4:1. Hair treated with comparative composition C-7 did not exhibit sufficient frizz control, curl definition, and smooth texture. This demonstrates the importance of the claimed weight ratio.

[0221] The results described above demonstrate the criticality of castor oil, coconut oil, caprylic / capric triglyceride, oil thickeners, and the weight ratio of vegetable oil to emollients. It is surprising that the combination of castor oil, coconut oil, caprylic / capric triglyceride, the oil thickener, and the weight ratio of vegetable oil to emollients provides excellent results for all the properties tested. This is surprising because improving one particular cosmetic attribute without regard to an ideal ingredient ratio can negatively impact another cosmetic attribute. For example, various oils and other fatty compounds may be used in hair conditioning compositions to improve frizz control.Although oils and other fatty compounds improve frizz control, when used in large quantities they tend to create a greasy appearance, which can weigh hair down and impair curl definition. This is demonstrated by Comparative Composition C-6. Hair treated with Comparative Composition C-6 showed better frizz control than hair treated with other comparative compositions, but it was also greasier than hair treated with other comparative compositions.

[0222] The preceding disclosure illustrates and describes embodiments of the invention. The disclosure shows and describes only preferred embodiments, but it is It is understood that the invention is usable in various other combinations, modifications, and environments, and that it may undergo changes or modifications in the scope of the inventive concepts as expressed herein, depending on the teachings above and / or the skills or knowledge of the relevant art. The embodiments described herein are further intended to explain the best known methods of the applicant and to enable others skilled in the art to utilize the disclosure. Accordingly, the description is not intended to limit the invention.

[0223] As used herein, the terms "comprising," "having," and "including" (or "comprise," "having," and "include") are used in their broad, non-limiting sense. The expression "consisting essentially of" restricts the scope of a claim to the specified materials or steps and to those that do not materially affect the basic and innovative features of the claimed invention.

[0224] The terms "a", "an", "the" and "the" are understood to encompass both the plural and the singular.

[0225] Thus, the phrase "one of their mixtures" or "one of their combinations" also refers to "their mixtures" or "their combinations." Throughout the disclosure, the phrase "one of their combinations" may be used following 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 one of their combinations." The phrase "one of their combinations" does not require that the combination 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 any two or more of the elements A, B, C, D, E, and F may be included. In other words, it is equivalent to the expression "one or more elements chosen from the group consisting of A, B, C, D, E, F, and a combination of any two of A, B, C, D, E and F or more".

[0226] Similarly, the expression "one of its (their) salts" also refers to "its (their) salts." Thus, when the disclosure refers to "an element chosen from the group consisting of A, B, C, D, E, F, one of their salts, and one of their combinations," 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 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.

[0227] The term "anhydrous" as used herein refers to a substantial absence of water. An "anhydrous" composition, including the anhydrous hair treatment composition of this disclosure, comprises less than 5% by weight of water, preferably less than 3% by weight of water, more preferably less than 2% by weight of water. water weight. The composition of anhydrous hair treatment may include less than 1% by weight of water, less than 0.5% by weight of water or less than 0.1% by weight of water.

[0228] The surfactants referred to throughout the disclosure may include those having a counterion such as an alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, or ammonium counterion. This list of counterions, however, is not exhaustive.

[0229] The expression "one or more" means "at least one" and therefore includes individual components as well as mixtures / combinations.

[0230] The term “plurality” means “more than one” or “two or more”.

[0231] Except in operational examples, or unless otherwise indicated, all numbers In all cases, quantities of ingredients and / or reaction conditions can be modified by the term "approximately," meaning within + / - 10% of the stated quantity. For example, a quantity of "approximately 1 by weight" can include a quantity as low as 0.90% by weight or as high as 1.1. Similarly, a quantity of "approximately 50" can include a quantity as low as 45% by weight and as high as 55% by weight.

[0232] Some of the various categories of ingredients identified for the anhydrous hair treatment composition may have dual functions. In cases where dual functions may exist and the anhydrous hair treatment composition includes two (or more than two) dual components, a dual component shall not represent more than one claimed component. For example, menthol may be interpreted as both a "cooling agent" and a "terpene." If a claimed anhydrous hair treatment composition includes both a cooling agent and a terpene, the menthol in the anhydrous hair treatment composition shall serve only as an oil or only as a nonionic surfactant. A single fatty acid may not simultaneously serve as both a cooling agent and a terpene.

[0233] All percentages, parts and ratios herein are based on the total weight of the compositions of the present invention, unless otherwise stated.

[0234] 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, and so on. Furthermore, all ranges provided are intended to include each specific range within the given ranges, and a combination of intermediate subranges within the given ranges. Thus, a range of 1 to 5 specifically includes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, as well as subranges such as 2 to 5, 3 to 5, 2 to 3, 2 to 4, 1 to 4, and so on.

[0235] A "rinse-off" product refers to a composition that is rinsed and / or washed from the hair with water after or during its application to the hair, and before the hair is dried and / or styled. At least a portion of the composition is removed from the hair during rinsing and / or washing.

[0236] A "leave-in" product refers to a composition that is not rinsed and / or washed from the hair after or during its application. The composition remains on the hair during drying and / or throughout styling.

[0237] All components positively presented in this disclosure may be negatively excluded from the claims and the compositions and processes described throughout this disclosure. In other words, the cleaning compositions of this disclosure may be free or substantially free of one or more of the components positively presented in this disclosure for possible inclusion in the cleaning compositions.

[0238] The expression "substantially free" or "essentially free" as used herein means that the specific material may be present in small quantities that do not materially affect the basic and innovative features of the claimed invention. For example, less than 1% by weight of a specific material may be added to a composition, relative to the total weight of the composition (provided that an amount of 1% by weight or less does not materially affect the basic and innovative features of the claimed invention). Similarly, where a composition is essentially free of a particular element, the composition may include 1% by weight or less, 0.5% by weight or less, 0.1% by weight or less, 0.05% by weight or less, or 0.01% by weight or less, or no amount of the specified material.For example, if a composition is "substantially free" or "essentially free" of ethanol, the composition may optionally include ethanol in an amount of up to 1% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, provided that 1% by weight does not materially affect the basic and innovative characteristics of the composition. In addition, the composition may optionally include 0.5% by weight or less, 0.1% by weight or less, 0.05% by weight or less, 0.01% by weight or less, or no ethanol at all.
