Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This disclosure relates to a hair treatment composition particularly useful for repairing, strengthening, and protecting hair from damage. The hair treatment composition comprises ingredients that reconstruct hair fibers to result in hair exhibiting improved smoothness, shine, combability, and resilience. [Background technology]

[0002] Consumers generally desire healthy and strong hair, and healthy-looking hair is generally considered a sign of good health and good hair care habits. Nevertheless, nutrition, environmental influences, and chemical hair treatments can cause hair damage, significantly weakening and dulling it over time. This negatively impacts the balance of shine and moisture, making hair more difficult to comb and style. Furthermore, brittle, damaged, and dry hair is also prone to breakage and the formation of split ends.

[0003] While nutrition plays a vital role in hair health, it alone is insufficient to compensate for the various types of physical, chemical, and environmental damage that interfere with optimal hair quality. Physical hair damage often results from repeated styling. For example, hairstyles such as ponytails, buns, and braids are quick and easy to create, but if done too frequently and too tightly, they can strain the ends of the hair and cause a receding hairline. Hair can also be physically damaged while detangling and styling. Excessive detangling can lead to split ends and breakage.

[0004] Many chemical treatments are available to alter the appearance of hair. For example, hair color can be lightened or bleached, and oxidative dyes can be used to change the color of hair. Perms are also common chemical treatments to straighten or curl hair. Chemical treatments are popular because their effects can be long-lasting and dramatic. Nevertheless, the biggest drawback of chemical treatments is the stress and damage they inflict on the hair. This is because chemical treatments permanently alter the chemical and physical structure of the hair. Another cause of chemical hair damage is heat. Repeated use of heating appliances such as flat irons and hair dryers removes moisture from the surface of the hair cuticle, resulting in brittle, dry hair that is more prone to breakage.

[0005] Furthermore, the environment also affects the health of hair. Areas with hard water can affect the appearance, feel, and shine of hair. This is because hard water leaves mineral deposits that accumulate on the hair over time, ultimately preventing moisture from being absorbed into the hair. Hair becomes dry, frizzy, and prone to tangling. Environmental factors such as strong direct sunlight, wind, cold, extreme temperature changes, and changes in air humidity can also damage hair. Dry winter air with static electricity is a contributing factor to moisture loss. Sudden changes from low temperatures outdoors to warm indoors can cause rapid moisture loss from the hair cuticle into the atmosphere. However, environmental influences on hair cannot be completely avoided. Therefore, mechanisms that reduce or prevent hair damage, and products that can nourish and strengthen hair, are useful in striving to suppress hair damage. [Overview of the Initiative]

[0006] This disclosure relates to hair treatment compositions, for example, hair treatment compositions for strengthening hair and minimizing and / or replenishing damage to hair caused by environmental stress and cosmetic treatments (e.g., repeated washing, drying, heating, chemical treatment, etc.). The hair treatment composition comprises an effective amount of at least one amino acid or aminosulfonic acid and / or a salt thereof, and an effective amount of at least one non-molecular-weight mono, di, or tricarboxylic acid and / or a salt thereof. Specifically, the hair treatment composition according to this disclosure is: - At least 0.5% by weight of at least one amino acid or aminosulfonic acid and / or salt thereof, - At least 0.5% by weight of at least one non-polymeric mono, di, or tricarboxylic acid and / or salt thereof, - One or more surfactants, and - water It may include.

[0007] Cationic, anionic, amphoteric / amphoterionic, nonionic surfactants, and mixtures thereof may be included in the hair treatment composition. The types of surfactants included in the hair treatment composition may vary depending on the purpose of the hair treatment composition. For example, shampoos often contain at least one anionic surfactant and may also contain one or more amphoteric surfactants. Conditioners often contain at least one cationic surfactant. The types of surfactants included in the hair treatment composition may also include at least one non-taurate surfactant.

[0008] Hair treatment compositions may contain additional components, which may vary depending on the type of hair treatment composition in which they are incorporated. Non-limiting examples of additional components include cationic polymers, aliphatic compounds, silicones, polymers, thickeners, preservatives, and water-soluble solvents.

[0009] This disclosure also relates to methods for treating hair. For example, if the hair treatment composition is a shampoo, the shampoo can be used in a hair washing method. If the hair treatment composition is a conditioner or rinse-out mask, the conditioner or rinse-out mask can be used in a method for conditioning and / or caring for hair. Furthermore, if the hair treatment composition is a leave-in product, the leave-in product can be used in a method for styling hair. When the composition is a shampoo, conditioner, or rinse-out mask, the method typically requires applying a sufficient amount of the composition to the hair and then rinsing the composition off the hair, typically with water. With respect to leave-in products for styling hair, the method typically requires applying a sufficient amount of the leave-in product to the hair (wet, damp, or dry hair) and optionally styling the hair.

[0010] Finally, as mentioned above, hair treatment compositions are unique in their ability to repair, care for, condition, and protect hair from damage, or to reduce / minimize damage to hair, or to improve the condition and quality of hair in terms of, for example, visual / aesthetic appearance (e.g., healthy appearance, shine, reduced split ends), hair feel (e.g., smooth feel, soft feel, conditioned feel), and hair manageability (e.g., no or little frizz, styling / shape, combing, detangling, desired volume). Accordingly, hair treatment compositions are useful in methods of repairing, caring for, and protecting hair. Such methods include single treatments and multiple treatments (e.g., repeatedly treating the hair with the composition for a week, two weeks, a month, or longer). [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0011] This disclosure relates to hair treatment compositions. In relation to “hair treatment,” the term “treatment” encompasses a wide range of hair treatments, including treatments that reconstruct hair. The term “hair reconstruction” relates to the repair, strengthening, and / or counteracting damage to hair (e.g., damage from environmental stress and / or cosmetic treatments (e.g., repeated washing, drying, heating, and chemical treatments)). Thus, hair reconstruction requires strengthening and / or repairing the hair. The reconstructed hair fibers exhibit desired cosmetic properties such as improved smoothness, shine, combability, strength, and elasticity.

[0205] Mixtures of these fatty alcohols and oxyethylene derivatives of fatty esters can also be used.

[0206] Preferably, the nonionic surfactant may be a nonionic surfactant with an HLB of 18.0 or less, for example, 4.0 to 18.0, more preferably 6.0 to 15.0, and even more preferably 9.0 to 13.0. HLB is the ratio of hydrophilic to hydrophobic parts in a molecule. The term HLB is well known to those skilled in the art and is described in "The HLB system. A time-saving guide to emulsifier selection" (published by ICI Americas Inc., 1984).

[0207] In some cases, nonionic surfactants are fatty alkanolamides.

[0208] silicone Exemplary silicones, but not limited to these, include cyclic silicones, such as those having 3 to 6, 3 to 4, or 3 to 5 (or any of 3, 4, 5, or 6) Si-O groups in a cyclic main chain (e.g., siloxane). In some cases, cyclic silicones are volatile silicones. In some cases, cyclic silicones are low-viscosity silicones. Exemplary cyclic silicones, but not limited to these, include cyclomethicone, cyclotetrasiloxane, cyclopentasiloxane (e.g., cyclomethicone 5-NF), cyclohexasiloxane, and mixtures of cyclohexasiloxane and cyclopentasiloxane (e.g., DOW CORNING 246 fluid (d6+d5)). Non-exclusive examples of other silicones are silicones having side groups or side chains. In some cases, the side groups are hydrophobic. In some cases, the side groups are linear, but in other embodiments, the side groups are branched. Exemplary side chains include those having 1-6 or 2-6 or 3-6 or 3-6 or 5-6 carbon or heteroatoms (e.g., O, S, or N) (or mixtures thereof).

[0210] Regarding the aforementioned silicones having hydrophobic or polar groups, silicones that repel the hydrophobic chain of oil are thought to produce more stable bubbles because they do not inhibit the hydrophobic-hydrophobic interaction of the oil. Examples of hydrophilic or polar groups include oxygen-containing groups that substitute for one or more methyl groups, such as carbonyl groups, hydroxyl groups, ether groups, ester groups, and carboxyl groups. Hydrophilic / polar groups are alternatively present in the main chain or side chains of the silicone. Non-limiting examples of silicones having hydrophilic groups are PEG / PPG 18 / 18 dimethicone and dimethiconol, whose structures are as follows. TIFF2026065006000020.tif94170(X, y, m and n are as above, and R is C1~C 10 (It is alkyl.)

[0259] Example 4-4 (Fiber durability test) Fiber durability tests (cycles to failure (CTB)) were performed using a Dia-Stron cyclic fatigue tensile testing machine (CFTT). Higher CTB indicates more durable fibers. Hair samples from the following three groups were tested. (1) Natural hair sample (2) Hair that has been shampooed 10 times with a standard sulfate-based shampoo. (3) Hair samples that were shampooed with a standard sulfate-based shampoo and then treated with a conditioner corresponding to Formulation A of Example 4-1. This was repeated 10 times.

[0260] Each hair sample consisted of approximately 50 fibers. The fiber length was 28 mm. The experiment was conducted at approximately 23°C, 45% relative humidity, and under constant stress across the entire specified area at a predetermined rate.

[0261] The CTB results showed that hair samples shampooed with a standard sulfate shampoo and treated with the conditioner corresponding to Formulation A of Example 4-1 required the most cycles to break down (the strongest). Hair samples shampooed 10 times with a standard sulfate shampoo required more cycles to break down than the natural hair samples (control), which may be due to water absorption and the potential plasticizing effect of one or more components in the shampoo. The mean CTB is recorded in the table below. The difference in mean CTB for each of the three different groups of hair samples was statistically significant. TIFF2026065006000040.tif38170

[0266] Example 9 (Characteristics of Shampoo and Conditioner) The shampoo of Formulation 1 in Example 1 was compared to a placebo shampoo. The placebo shampoo was identical to the shampoo of Formulation 1 except that it did not contain 3% by weight of taurine or 3% by weight of citric acid. A 1-gram bleached hair sample was wet with water for 10 seconds, and 0.3 grams of shampoo (either Formulation 1 shampoo or placebo shampoo) was lathered over the entire hair for 30 seconds. The hair sample was then rinsed with water for 30 seconds and air-dried. After drying, the sample was evaluated by a group of experts.

[0267] Hair samples treated with formulation 1 were more coated, had a stronger fiber feel, were more controlled, and were more supple compared to hair samples treated with placebo shampoo. Hair samples treated with placebo shampoo were softer, less resilient, and smoother compared to hair samples treated with formulation 1.

[0268] The conditioner of Formulation 12 in Example 4 was compared to a placebo conditioner. The placebo conditioner was identical to the conditioner of Formulation 12 except that it did not contain taurine or citric acid. A 1 g bleached hair sample was wet with water for 10 seconds. Then, 0.3 g of conditioner (either the conditioner of Formulation 12 or the placebo conditioner) was applied to the hair sample and left on the hair sample for 5 minutes. The hair sample was then rinsed with water for 10 seconds and air-dried.

[0269] Hair samples treated with formulation 12 were more coated, had a stronger fiber feel, were more controlled, more supple, had more closed ends, were more compact, and exhibited more defined curls compared to hair samples treated with placebo conditioner. Hair samples treated with placebo conditioner had a rougher feel and exhibited more curls compared to hair samples treated with formulation 12.

[0270] Example 9 (Consumer Test) Consumers aged 18-50 of Caucasian and Hispanic / Latino descent participated in a two-week blinded, sexually monadic household survey. Consumers described their hair as having at least three of the following seven characteristics: rough / rough, frizzy, dry, discolored due to dryness, brittle, dull, or lacking body / resilience. All consumers shampooed and conditioned their hair under strict control at least three times a week.

[0271] For two weeks, consumers stopped using their usual shampoo and conditioner and instead used the shampoo of Formulation 4 of Example 1 and the conditioner of Formulation 11 of Example 4. Consumers were instructed to continue shampooing and conditioning their hair with these formulations at least three times a week.

[0272] Some consumers complained of initial hair dryness when they started this routine. However, after one week of continued use, consumers reported that their hair was stronger and healthier than before they started. After two weeks of use, consumers reported improved protection against damage.
