Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to hair care formulations. In particular, the present invention relates to hair care formulations comprising a dermatologically acceptable vehicle, a dermatologically acceptable oil, and a deposition aid polymer, the deposition aid polymer being a dextran polymer functionalized with amine groups, the dextran polymer having a weight average molecular weight of 100,000 to 650,000 daltons, and the deposition aid polymer enhancing deposition of the dermatologically acceptable oil from the hair care formulation onto mammalian hair. [Background technology]

[0002] Oil deposition is of particular interest to various personal care compositions, especially hair cleansers (e.g., shampoos, shampoo-conditioners) that provide moisturizing / conditioning benefits in addition to cleansing benefits.

[0003] Hair cleansing has become a ubiquitous element of personal hygiene. Hair cleansing facilitates the removal of dirt, bacteria, and other substances that are perceived as harmful to hair or the individual. Cleansing formulations typically contain surfactants to facilitate the removal of substances attached to the hair. Unfortunately, cleansing formulations remove both undesirable and desirable substances from hair. For example, undesirably, cleansing formulations often remove oils from hair, which act to protect hair from moisture loss. Removing excess oil from hair can make it prone to dryness and damage. One solution to this concern is the selection of a mild surfactant. Another approach is to incorporate additives that help replace oils removed through attachment, but this approach has proven difficult to implement, especially in rinse-off applications.

[0004] In U.S. Pat. No. 7,067,499, Erazo-Majewicz et al. disclose personal and household care product compositions comprising at least one cationic polygalactomannan or derivative of a cationic polygalactomannan, wherein the derivative moiety on the cationic derivatized polygalactomannan is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, alkylhydroxyalkyl, and carboxymethyl, where the alkyl has a carbon chain containing 1 to 22 carbons, and the hydroxyalkyl is selected from the group consisting of hydroxyethyl, hydroxypropyl, and hydroxybutyl, and the at least one cationic polygalactomannan or derivative of a cationic polygalactomannan has an average molecular weight (Mw) with a lower limit of 5,000 and an upper limit of 200,000, has an optical transmittance of greater than 80% at a light wavelength of 600 nm in a 10% aqueous solution, has a protein content of less than 1.0% by weight of the polysaccharide, and has an aldehyde functional group content of at least 0.01 meg / gram.

[0005] While conventionally used deposition aids, such as soluble cationically modified cellulose (e.g., polyquaternium-10), guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride, and other cationic polymers (e.g., polyquaternium-6, polyquaternium-7), provide a certain level of deposition in personal care cleansers, they are less efficient and require relatively high loadings of active ingredients into the personal care cleanser formulation to facilitate the desired results. However, such high levels of active ingredients (e.g., oils) negatively impact the consumer experience of the formulation, including foam / lather feel and cost.

[0006] Thus, there remains a need for deposition aids that promote improved efficiency of oil deposition from hair care formulations. Summary of the Invention

[0051] Some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail in the following examples.

[0052] Example S1: Synthesis of cationic dextran polymer A 500 mL four-neck round-bottom flask equipped with a rubber septum cap, a nitrogen inlet, a pressure-equalizing addition funnel, a stirring paddle and motor, a subsurface thermocouple connected to a J-KEM controller, and a Friedrich condenser connected to a mineral oil bubbler was charged with dextran polymer (30.38 g; Sigma-Aldrich product D4876) and deionized water (100.32 g). The weight-average molecular weight of the dextran polymer was 100,000-200,000 daltons. The addition funnel contained a 70% aqueous solution of 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride (27.04 g; QUAB® 151, available from SKW QUAB Chemicals). The contents of the flask were stirred until the dextran polymer dissolved in the deionized water. While stirring the contents, the apparatus was purged with nitrogen to displace any oxygen trapped in the system. The nitrogen flow rate was approximately 1 bubble per second. The mixture was purged with nitrogen while stirring for 1 hour. Using a plastic syringe, 25% aqueous sodium hydroxide (4.75 g) was added to the flask contents over several minutes while stirring under nitrogen. The flask contents were then continued to stir under nitrogen for 30 minutes. The contents of the addition funnel were then added dropwise to the flask contents over several minutes while stirring under nitrogen. After the contents of the addition funnel were transferred to the flask contents, the mixture was stirred for 5 minutes. The contents of the flask were then heated with a heating mantle controlled using a J-KEM controller set at 55°C. The contents of the flask were heated to 55°C and held at 55°C for 90 minutes. The contents of the flask were then cooled to room temperature while maintaining positive nitrogen pressure within the flask. Once the contents of the flask reached room temperature, glacial acetic acid (2.5 g) was added. The polymer was recovered by non-solvent precipitation from methanol, and the precipitated polymer was recovered by vacuum filtration using a Buchner funnel and dried overnight in vacuo at 50°C. The product, branched cationic dextran polymer, was an off-white solid with a volatile content of 3.41% and an ash content (as sodium chloride) of 0.03%. Volatiles and ash were measured as described in ASTM Method D-2364.The Kjeldahl nitrogen content, TKN, was measured using a Buchi KjelMaster K-375 autoanalyzer and found to be 1.67% (corrected for volatiles and ash), which corresponds to a degree of trimethylammonium substitution of 0.24.

[0053] Example S2: Synthesis of tertiary amine functionalized dextran polymer A 500 mL four-neck round-bottom flask equipped with a rubber septum cap, nitrogen inlet, pressure-equalizing addition funnel, stirring paddle and motor, a subsurface thermocouple connected to a J-KEM controller, and a Friedrich condenser connected to a mineral oil bubbler was charged with dextran polymer (30.27 g; Aldrich Product No. D4876), 2-chloro-N,N-diethylethylamine hydrochloride (19.39 g), and deionized water (140.58 g). The weight-average molecular weight of the dextran was 100,000-200,000 daltons. While stirring the contents, the apparatus was purged with nitrogen to displace any oxygen trapped in the system. The nitrogen flow rate was approximately 1 bubble per second. The mixture was purged with nitrogen for 1 hour while stirring. Using a plastic syringe, 50% aqueous sodium hydroxide (12.52 g) was added to the contents of the flask over several minutes while stirring under nitrogen. The contents of the flask were then continued to stir under nitrogen for 5 minutes. The contents of the flask were then heated with a heating mantle controlled using a J-KEM controller set at 70°C. The contents of the flask were heated to 70°C and held at 70°C for 3 hours. The contents of the flask were then cooled to room temperature while maintaining positive nitrogen pressure within the flask. Once the contents of the flask reached room temperature, the contents of the flask were neutralized by adding glacial acetic acid (10.0 g). Excess methanol was then added to the contents of the flask with vigorous stirring to precipitate the tertiary amine-functionalized dextran polymer from solution. The precipitated tertiary amine-functionalized dextran polymer was then collected by filtration through a Buchner funnel and dried overnight in vacuo at 50°C. The product, branched cationic dextran polymer, was an off-white solid (30.60 g) with a volatile content of 3.58% and an ash content of 0.01% (as sodium chloride). Volatiles and ash were measured as described in ASTM Method D-2364. The Kjeldahl nitrogen content, measured using a Buchi KjelMaster K-375 autoanalyzer, was found to be 2.26% (corrected for volatiles and ash), corresponding to a degree of tertiary amine substitution of 0.335.

[0057] Example SX: Synthesis of Crosslinker Bis[2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl]ether (10.84 g) and water (23.12 g) were mixed together in a vessel. The pH of the vessel contents was adjusted to 8.5 with concentrated hydrochloric acid. 99.9% epichlorohydrin (20.84 g) was added to the vessel over 60 minutes while maintaining the vessel contents' set-point temperature at 25°C. The vessel contents' set-point temperature was maintained at 25°C for an additional 2 hours, after which the set-point temperature was increased to 50°C and maintained at that temperature set-point for 2 hours. The vessel contents' pH was then reduced to less than 2.0 with concentrated hydrochloric acid, and the set-point temperature was increased to 70°C and maintained at that temperature set-point for 1 hour. The reactor contents were then allowed to cool. Once the vessel contents' temperature had fallen below 50°C, the vessel contents' pH was adjusted to 4-6 with 50% sodium hydroxide solution.
