Description

HAIR CONDITIONING COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING BEHENAMIDOPROPYL DIMETHYLAMINE FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to hair conditioning compositions, more particularly to hair conditioning compositions comprising behenamidopropyl dimethylamine cationic surfactant. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A variety of approaches have been developed for conditioning hair. These approaches range from post-shampoo application of hair conditioners such as leave-in and rinse-off products, to hair conditioning shampoos that attempt to cleanse and condition hair from a single product. Although some consumers prefer the ease and convenience of a shampoo that includes conditioners, a substantial proportion of consumers prefer more conventional conditioning formulations that are applied to the hair as a separate step from shampooing, usually after shampooing. Conditioning formulations may be in the form of rinse-off products or leave-in products, and may be in the form of an emulsion, cream, gel, spray and styling foam. Such consumers who prefer conventional conditioning formulations value the relatively greater conditioning effect, or the convenience of changing the amount of conditioning depending on the condition of the hair or the amount of hair. Some consumers want a reduction or elimination of certain ingredients, including certain surfactants and preservatives, in hair care products. Some consumers want the ingredients in their hair care products to be EWG VERIFIED™, free of any of the ingredients that Whole Foods® lists as unacceptable for body care, and classified as risk-free (green dot) by the Yuka® application. However, modifying the conditioner can negatively affect the product. For example, modifying the cationic surfactant can decrease conditioning performance and modifying the preservation system can have a negative impact on microbiological safety requirements. Therefore, there is a need for a conditioning composition with an effective surfactant and a preservation system that is EWG VERIFIED™, does not contain any Qoncnn / zznz / E / YiAi of ingredients that Whole Foods® Market lists as unacceptable, and are classified as risk-free by the Yuka® application. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION A hair conditioning composition may contain an aqueous carrier; (b) from about 2.5% by weight to about 6.7% by weight of a behenamidopropyl dimethylamine; (c) from about 3% by weight to about 8% by weight of a fatty alcohol; (d) less than 1.5% by weight of a salt selected from the group consisting of sodium benzoate, sodium salicylate, sodium chloride, sodium carbonate, sodium borate, sodium acetate, sodium citrate, potassium benzoate, potassium acetate, calcium gluconate, calcium chloride, potassium sorbate and combinations of these; wherein the molar ratio of behenamidopropyl dimethylamine to fatty alcohol is from about 7:50 to about 4:5; wherein the composition comprises a uniform gel network; wherein the composition comprises a d-spacing of less than 32 nm, as measured according to the d-spacing (Ιβ-basal spacing) of the lamellar gel network test method.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES Although the specification concludes with claims that particularly point out and clearly vindicate the subject matter of the present invention, it is believed that the invention can be more easily understood from the following description, taken together with the accompanying figures, in which: Qoncnn / zznz / E / YiAi Figure 1A shows the chemical structure for behenamidopropyl dimethylamine (BAPDMA); Figure IB shows the chemical structure of BAPDMA after it has been activated with / -glutamic acid; Figure 2 shows the melt transition behavior of the gel network, as measured by the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) test method, of Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples A and B; Figure 3 is a photograph of the conditioning composition of Comparative Example J, which contains 1% by weight of sodium benzoate and has a clumpy and granular appearance; Figure 4 is a photograph of the conditioning composition of Comparative Example K, which contains 2% by weight of sodium benzoate and has a thin and granular appearance; Figure 5 is a photograph of the conditioning composition of Example A, containing 0.20% by weight of sodium benzoate and 0.40% by weight of caprylyl glycol. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Even though the specification concludes with the claims that particularly point out and claim in detail the invention, it is considered that the present invention will be better understood from the following description. Hair conditioners are used to improve the feel, appearance and manageability of hair. Hair conditioning compositions generally include cationic surfactant(s), high melting point fatty compound(s) having a melting point greater than 25°C and in some examples from 40 to 85°C. C and an aqueous carrier. The ingredients in today's hair conditioners, including cationic surfactant and preservative system, are generally recognized as safe and effective. However, there is a growing demand by some consumers for a conditioning product and / or a preservation system that meets at least one, two or all three of the following standards: • EWG VERIFIED™ (according to criteria, as of November 25, 2019), which includes meeting Environmental Working Group (EWG) criteria including avoiding EWG ingredients of concern, have fully transparent labeling and use good manufacturing practices, in addition to other criteria outlined in EWG's Licensing Criteria: Personal Care Products (2019). • Does not contain any of the ingredients Whole Foods® lists as unacceptable in Premium Body Care Unacceptab / e Ingredients (July 2018) Qoncnn / zznz / E / YiAi • Classified as risk-free (green dot) by Yuka® app (March 2019) However, replacing traditional cationic surfactants, such as behentrimonium chloride (BTMAC), which is restricted by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) for use in cosmetic products since November 25, 2019, and / or stearamidopropyl dimethylamine (SAPDMA) , which is an unacceptable ingredient listed in Whole Foods® Premium Body Care Unacceptab / e Ingredients (July 2018), and preservatives with ingredients that meet the standards, listed above, while maintaining product performance and antimicrobial effectiveness can be a challenge. Behenamidopropyl dimethylamine (BAPDMA) was identified as a cationic surfactant that can meet the above-mentioned standards. However, it may be difficult to formulate effective conditioning compositions containing BAPDMA because BAPDMA is a C22 amidoamine with the structure shown in Figure 1A. BAPDMA needs to be activated with an acid, such as / -glutamic acid, to become cationic. However, after the cationic surfactant is formed, as shown in the structure in Figure IB, it has a large head group 1. This large head group tends to affect the packing of the surfactant and fatty alcohol(s). s) during the melting stage when the gel network is formed. This causes the spacing d in the gel network in the conditioning composition to be larger, which generally leads to a conditioner with poor wet conditioning performance. Surprisingly, the spacing d in the conditioning compositions of the invention (see Table 3 to Table 7, below) was found to be less than 30 nm. It is believed that conditioners with d-spacing less than 30 nm can provide good conditioning, clean feel, volume, and consumer-preferred shear stress. Without wishing to be limited by theory, it is believed that the molar ratio of BAPDMA to fatty alcohol(s) and the addition of salts including sodium benzoate, can result in a conditioning composition with d spacing that is less than 30nm which provides good conditioning performance including good gliding feel and wet detangling. Table 1, below, compares the d-spacing of four commercially available conditioning compositions with Ex. 1 to Ex. 28 in Table 3 to Table 7. The d-spacing of Ex. 1 to 28 was found to be similar a Herbal Essences® Honey & Vitamin B Conditioner, which contains BTMAC and the d spacing was smaller than the other examples, which include John Frieda® Sheer Blond Brightening Conditioner, which contains the same cationic polymer (BAPDMA) as Ex. 1-28 .

X0J11438 B, purchased at Target®, Mason, Ohio 2019 Furthermore, the conditioners in Ex. 1 to Ex. 28 (Table 3 to Table 7), had a uniform gel network, as indicated by the single peak when the differential scanning calorimetry test method was performed. Also, conditioning compositions that provide good wet conditioning can weigh hair down causing a loss of dry hair volume and / or can quickly make hair feel dirty and / or greasy, which can cause consumers to wash their hair. hair more frequently. It was discovered that the hair conditioning compositions of Ex. 1 to Ex. 35 can not only provide good hair conditioning but can also provide good hair volume and / or provide a long-lasting clean feeling, allowing for less frequency washing. Additionally, Table 9 and Table 10, below, include examples that have a sodium benzoate preservative, which meets the standards. However, if the conditioning composition had a smooth, creamy consistency, then the level of sodium benzoate was too low to effectively inhibit microbial growth. When the level of sodium benzoate was increased, the conditioning composition was too thin to be easily applied with a user's hands, which can significantly affect product performance and user experience. As shown in Table 11 and described in the accompanying text, a preservation system with sodium benzoate and a glycol, such as caprylyl glycol, or glyceryl esters, such as glyceryl caprylate / caprate and glyceryl caprylate (and ) glyceryl undecylenate can be effective if appropriate levels of each ingredient are added. A preservative system containing sodium benzoate and a second composition selected from the group consisting of glycols, glyceryl esters, and combinations thereof was found to contain all ingredients that have an EWG rating score equal to or less than 3, may be EWG VERIFIED™, may not contain any of the ingredients that Whole Foods® Market lists as unacceptable, and may be classified as risk-free by the Yuka® application, may maintain antimicrobial effectiveness, and may provide good conditioning performance. The second composition may contain a glycol and / or a glyceryl ester. Glycols and glyceryl esters have two -OH groups in the molecule. Non-limiting examples of glycols may include butylene glycol, pentylene glycol, hexylene glycol, 1,2-hexanediol, caprylyl glycol, decylene glycol (1,2-decanediol), and mixtures thereof. In one example, the glycol may be caprylyl glycol. Non-limiting examples of glycerol esters may include glyceryl caprylate, glyceryl caprate, glyceryl undecylenate, and combinations thereof. In some examples, the cationic surfactant, preservation system and / or conditioner may also comply with the COSMOS standard (January 1, 2019). Conditioning compositions containing this preservative system can have a uniform, smooth and creamy appearance and have an effective preservative system where the level of microbes (both bacteria and fungi) is undetectable (>99.99% reduction) as determined by the bacterial and fungal microbial susceptibility testing methods, as described herein. The conditioning composition and / or the preservative system may be free or substantially free of certain preservatives, in particular preservatives that do not meet one or more of the requirements, isothiazolinones including 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazole! n-3-one and 2methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (commercially available as Kathon™ CG from Dow®), benzyl alcohol, phenoxyethanol, cyclohexylglycerin and / or parabens. The conditioning composition may be free or substantially free of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and salts thereof. In addition to meeting the standards for a cationic surfactant and preservative system, some consumers prefer a conditioning composition that is free or substantially free of the following: silicone, propellants, phthalates, parabens, isothiazolinones (e.g., Kathon™) , phenoxyethanols, dyes, sulfates, and / or formaldehyde donors.

Such compositions are used alternatively by the following steps: (i) after shampooing the hair, applying an effective amount of the conditioning compositions to the hair to condition the hair; and (ii) then rinse your hair. Test methods Bacterial Microbial Susceptibility Test Method Bacterial microbial susceptibility testing is used to evaluate the antibacterial effectiveness of the preservative system in a rinse-off cosmetic conditioner. A bacterial pool (mixture in equal volumes) of challenge organisms used in the test is composed of standardized solutions of the bacterial strains Escherichia co / i(KK£. no. 8739), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC no. 6538), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (KLQQ no. 9027), Burkho / deria cepacia (ATCC no. 25416), as well as strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobactergergovíae and Serraba marcescens added to cosmetic products. The bacterial pool is prepared to have a concentration of approximately 6-8 log cfu / ml. To begin the test, 0.1 ml of the bacterial group is added to 10.0 g of a test conditioner. The test conditioner is then incubated for 2 days at 20-25°C. After incubation, a 1.0 g aliquot of product is neutralized using modified Letheen broth containing 1.5% polysorbate 80 (commercially available as Tween® 80 from Croda™) and 1% lecithin to aid in microbial recovery / enumeration. Multiple diluted concentrations of this sample are then transferred to Petri dishes containing Letheen agar modified with 1.5% Tween® 80, and the agar plates are incubated for at least 2 days at 30-35°C. Later Qoncnn / zznz / E / YiAi lists bacterial colony-forming units (cfu), and a bacterial log reduction is reported from the initial log cfu / g challenge level. A 1 log cfu / g reduction is equivalent to ~ 90% bacterial reduction. A 2 log cfu / g reduction is equivalent to ~ 99% bacterial reduction. A 3 log cfu / g reduction is equivalent to ~ 99.9% bacterial reduction. A 4 log cfu / g reduction is equivalent to ~ 99.99% bacterial reduction. Higher log cfu / g reduction values ​​indicate greater antimicrobial robustness of the preservation system. Fungal Microbial Susceptibility Test Method: Fungal microbial susceptibility testing is used to evaluate the antifungal effectiveness of the preservative system in a rinse-off cosmetic conditioner. The standardized ATCC strains of the yeast Candida albicans (ATCC no. 10231) and the mold Aspergillus brasiiiensis (frm. niger) (ATCC no. 16404) are mixed in a ratio of 1:1 (v:v), and this fungal group It is used as inoculum in the test. The concentration of the fungal group is approximately 6-8 log cfu / ml. To begin the test, 0.1 ml of the fungal group is added to 10.0 g of a test conditioner. After incubating the inoculated sample for 2 days at 20-25°C, a 1.0 g aliquot of product is neutralized using modified Letheen broth containing 1.5% Tween® 80 and 1% lecithin to aid in microbial recovery / enumeration. . Multiple diluted concentrations of this sample are then transferred to Petri dishes containing Letheen agar modified with 1.5% Tween 80, and the agar plates are incubated for at least 5 days at 20-25°C, at which time fungal colony-forming units (cfu) are enumerated, and a fungal log reduction is calculated from the initial log cfu / g challenge level. A 1 log cfu / g reduction is equivalent to ~ 90% fungal reduction. A 2 log cfu / g reduction is equivalent to ~ 99% fungal reduction. A reduction of 3 log cfu / g is equivalent to ~ 99.9% fungal reduction. A 4 log cfu / g reduction is equivalent to ~ 99.99% fungal reduction. Higher log cfu / g reduction values ​​indicate greater antifungal robustness of the preservation system. Differential scanning calorimetry The melt transition behavior and temperature of the gel network can be obtained using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) according to the following method. Using a TA Instruments Q2000 DSC, approximately 15 mg of the gel network premix or final conditioning composition containing the gel network is placed in a Tzero aluminum airtight DSC tray. The sample is placed on the instrument along with an empty reference tray. Samples are analyzed using the following conditions / temperature schedule: Nitrogen purge at a rate of 50.0 ml / min; Equilibrate at 20.00 °C; Sampling interval 0.10 s / pt; Equilibrate at 5.00 °C; Qoncnn / zznz / E / YiAi Isothermal for 1.00 min; Gradually increase 5.00 °G / min to 80.00 °C. The resulting DSC data is analyzed using TA Instruments Universal Analysis Software. The use of DSC to measure the melt transition behavior and temperature of gel networks is further described in T. de Vringer et al., Colloid and Po / ymer Science, vol. 265, 448-457 (1987); and Η. M. Ribeiro et al., Intí. J. of CosmeticScience, vol. 26, 47-59 (2004). pH method First, the Mettler Toledo Seven Compact pH meter is calibrated. This is done by turning on the pH meter and waiting for 30 seconds. The electrode is then removed from the storage solution, rinsed with distilled water, and carefully dried with a scientific cleaning cloth, such as a Kimwipe®. Immerse the electrode in the pH 4 regulator and press the calibrate button. Wait until the pH icon stops flashing and press the calibrate button a second time. Rinse the electrode with distilled water and dry the electrode carefully with a scientific cleaning cloth. Then, immerse the electrode in the pH 7 regulator and press the calibrate button a second time. Wait until the pH icon stops flashing and press the calibrate button a third time. Rinse the electrode with distilled water and dry the electrode carefully with a scientific cleaning cloth. The electrode is then immersed in the pH 10 regulator and the calibrate button is pressed a third time. Wait until the pH icon stops flashing and press the measure button. Rinse the electrode with distilled water and dry carefully with a scientific cleaning cloth. The electrode is immersed in the test sample and the read button is pressed. Wait until the pH icon stops flashing and record the value. Shear stress Shear stress is measured by the shear rate sweep condition with a rheometer available from TA Instruments with a model name ARG2. The geometry has 40 mm diameter, a cone angle of 2 °C, and a gap of 49 pm. The shear rate is increased logarithmically from 0 to 1200 / s for I min, and the temperature is maintained at 26.7 °C. The shear stress at a high shear rate of 950 / s is measured and defined above. X-ray diffraction method SAXS (Small Angle X-ray Scattering) is used to confirm the presence of a multilamellar phase, and WAXS (Wide Angle to verify the presence of the dispersed gel network phase characteristic of personal conditioning compositions D spacing (LB-basaD spacing of the lamellar gel network: Qoncnn / zznz / E / YiAi Small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) as used to resolve periodic structures in mesophases is essentially an x-ray diffraction technique. It is used in conjunction with conventional wide-angle x-ray scattering (WAXS) to characterize aggregate structures such as micelles, gel networks, lamellae, hexagonal and cubic liquid crystals. Different mesophases showing periodic structures can be characterized by the relative positions (d-spacing) of their reflections as derived from the Bragg equation (d=A / 2 Sin Θ) where d represents the interplanar spacing, λ the wavelength of radiation and Θ the angle of dispersion (diffraction). The one-dimensional lamellar gel network phase is characterized by the ratio of interplanar spacings di / di, di / dz, di / d3, di / d4, di / ds which have the values ​​1:2:3:4:5 etc in the SAXS region (long-range order) and one or two invariant reflections in the WAXS region (short range) centered around 3.5 and 4.5 Á over a broad halo background. Other mesophases (e.g., hexagonal or cubic) will have characteristically different d-spacing ratios. SAXS data were collected with a Bruker NanoSTAR small-angle X-ray scattering instrument. The microfocus Cu X-ray tube is operated at 50 kV, 0.60mA with 550 um ScanTex orifices. The sample-to-detector distance was 107.39 cm and the detector was the Vantec2K two-dimensional area detector. Samples were sealed in capillaries and analyzed under vacuum with an analysis time of 600 s. The d-spacing value (Lp-basal spacing) of the lamellar gel network reported in the present description is obtained with the SAXS reflection order which is the di-spacing. WAXS confirmation (in combination with SAXS) of presence of LB gel network Wide-angle (WAXS) data were collected on a Stoe STADIMP diffractometer. The generator was operated at 40 kV / 40 mA, energizing a long, fine-focus copper X-ray tube with copper anode. The diffractometer incorporates an incident beam curved germanium crystal monochromator, a standard incident beam cutting system and a Mytherein PSD detector. Data were collected in transmission mode over a range of 0o to 50° 20 with a stage size of 3o20 and 15 seconds per stage. The WAXS pattern with reflection near 4.2 Á which, in combination with the laminar reflections seen in SAXS, is indicative of the presence of the ίβ gel network. Examples The following are non-limiting examples of the conditioning compositions described herein. It will be understood that other modifications of the present invention, which are within the abilities of those skilled in the art, may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of this invention. Qoncnn / zznz / E / YiAi All parts, percentages and ratios in this description are by weight, unless otherwise specified. Some components may come from suppliers as diluted solutions. The quantity mentioned reflects the weight percentage of the material added, unless otherwise specified. The examples from Table 2 to Table 11 were performed as follows. Sodium benzoate and Fglutamic were dissolved in water. The mixture was heated to 80 °C. Then, the cationic surfactant and fatty alcohols (FAOH) were added to the mixture. The mixture was then cooled while the cationic surfactant and fatty alcohols continued to dissolve. Then, additional preservatives were added followed by oils and perfume when the temperature was below 45 °C. The composition was cooled to room temperature to make the conditioning composition. Table 2, below, shows Comparative Examples 1-4. Although these compositions contain an effective surfactant system that is EWG VERIFIED™, do not contain any of the ingredients that Whole Foods® Market lists as unacceptable, and are classified as risk-free by the Yuka® application, they are not consumer preferred.

Figure 2 shows the melt transition behavior of the gel network of selected examples: Examples 1-5 (see Table 3, below) and Comparative Examples 1 and 2. The curves were made according to the method differential scanning calorimetry test, described in the present description. The DSC curve for Comparative Examples 1 and 2 shows two peaks. In Comparative Examples 1-2, the molar ratio of BAPDMA to fatty alcohol is too high and since there is an excess of BAPDMA, the correct gel network is not formed to provide good conditioning and shear stress to form an acceptable product for the consumer. In Comparative Examples 3-4, the molar ratio of BAPDMA to fatty alcohol is too low and since there is too little BAPDMA, not enough fatty alcohol was incorporated into the gel network. These examples have a poor gel network that does not provide good conditioning. Also, too much fatty alcohol can leave your hair feeling greasy or weighed down because too much fatty alcohol is deposited on the hair. Table 3 to Table 8, below, show Examples 1-35, which are consumer-acceptable conditioning compositions. The uniform conditioning compositions from Table 3 to Table 8 contain an effective surfactant system that is EWG VERIFIED™, does not contain any of the ingredients that Whole Foods® Market lists as unacceptable, and is classified as risk-free by the Yuka® application .

Figure 2 shows the melt transition behavior of the gel network of Examples 1-5 (Table 3) and each curve for Examples 1-5 has only one peak. As shown in Figure 2, Examples 1-5, a peak may be a single distinct peak or may be a combined set of peaks. However, Comparative Example 2 (Table 2) has more than one peak, which may indicate that the gel network is not uniform. The shear stress is acceptable to the consumer and ranges from 107 Pa to 562 Pa, if the shear stress is too low or too high, it may be difficult for a consumer to apply the conditioning composition throughout their hair with their hands. If the shear stress is too low, the conditioning composition may drip from the hand and hair and if the shear stress is too high, it may be difficult to spread. The d spacing of the gel network is 20.8 to 26.9 for Examples 1-28. This d-spacing level indicates that the conditioning composition can provide good conditioning with good wet feel and good wet detangling. Examples 1-35 have a molar ratio of BAPDMA to FAOH greater than or equal to 20:80 and less than or equal to 40:60. Surprisingly, it was discovered that if the molar ratio of BAPDMA to FAOH was in this range and the conditioner contained sodium benzoate, then the conditioning composition was formed having a d-spacing gel network indicating good wet conditioning performance. Other salts, including sodium salicylate, sodium chloride, sodium carbonate, sodium borate, sodium acetate, sodium citrate, potassium benzoate, potassium acetate, calcium gluconate, calcium chloride, and calcium sorbate, are believed to potassium, would form a gel network with the appropriate d spacing.

C.S. C.S. C.S. C.S. pH 4 4.1 4.4 4 4.1 Qoncnn / zznz / E / YiAi Comparative Example A is the control and does not contain a preservation system. Comparative Example A does not provide sufficient microbial reduction at 2 days for bacteria and fungi. Comparative Examples B, C and D contain 0.20% by weight, 0.25% by weight and 0.40 wt% sodium benzoate, respectively, and these examples have an undetectable level (>99.99% reduction) of bacteria at two days. However, a preservation system containing only sodium benzoate at these levels does not provide sufficient fungal reduction at two days, as these examples only have a ~90% reduction. Comparative Examples E and F include a preservation system having sodium benzoate and caprylyl glycol. These examples have an undetectable level (>99.99% reduction) of bacteria at two days. The combination of sodium benzoate and caprylyl glycol improves the reduction of fungi at 2 days, compared to Comparative Examples B, C and D. However, there is still a detectable level of fungi and therefore the preservation system These examples are not considered effective. Comparative Example G has a preservation system with 0.20 wt% sodium benzoate and 0.40 wt% glyceryl caprylate / caprate (a glyceryl ester) and this example has an undetectable level (>99.99% reduction) of bacteria after two days. However, it has a >90% reduction in fungus after two days and is not effective. Similar to Comparative Example GG, Comparative Example H has a preservation system with 0.20 wt% sodium benzoate and 0.40 wt% glyceryl caprylate (and) glyceryl undecylenate and this example has an undetectable level (>99.99% reduction) of bacteria after two days. However, it has a >90% reduction in fungus after two days and is not effective. Comparative Example I contains 0.20% sodium benzoate and behentrimonium chloride (cationic surfactant) and this example has an undetectable level (>99.99% reduction) of bacteria after two days. However, it has a detectable level of fungus (>99% reduction) at two days and is therefore not effective. Comparative Example J contains 1% by weight of sodium benzoate. As shown in Figure 3, instead of being a smooth and creamy conditioner, it was clumpy and grainy, which is not preferred by consumers. Without wishing to be limited by theory, it is believed that the level of sodium benzoate in this example is too high and since sodium benzoate is a salt, it affects the packing of the gel network. For example, in this example it is believed that some regions of the gel network may be too tightly packed and this may result in a clumpy texture. Comparative Example K contains 2% by weight of caprylyl glycol. As shown in Figure 4, instead of being a smooth and creamy conditioner, it had a thin and crystalline appearance. A conditioner with this texture may be difficult for a consumer to apply with hands and may not provide good conditioning. Without wishing to be limited by theory, it is believed that if the level of glycol is too high, it acts as a solvent and breaks down the gel network.
