Description

COMPOSITIONS FOR PERSONAL CARE TECHNICAL FIELD This is a partial continuation of U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 08 / 736,316, filed October 23, 1996. The present invention relates to personal care compositions comprising a copolymer complex and a hydrophobic, volatile solvent component to solubilize or disperse the copolymer complex. By complexing a fatty acid with a copolymer, the copolymer complex is formed, wherein the copolymer comprises a hydrophobic monomer, a hydrophilic monomer such that at least 1%, by weight of the total copolymer, comprises hydrophilic monomers having groups functional nitrogen, and optionally a hydrophobic macromonomer. These compositions provide the hair and skin with improved distribution, deposition and retention.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In the area of hair care, for example, by applying either chemical alteration products, permanent products, or temporary styling products, the retention of the style is generally achieved. A permanent chemical alteration product, which is commonly referred to as a "permanent hair ripple" typically comprises treating the hair with various sulfur containing compounds in order to break the disulfide bridges in the hair fibers, thus allowing alter the shape and orientation of the hair fibers. However, permanent hair curling products have the disadvantage of being harsh and damaging to the hair, and also of being durable and difficult to reverse. Conversely, temporary styling products do not generally break chemical bonds in hair fibers. To coat the fibers of the hair and join them together, these temporary styling products are typically in the form of gels, lotions, creams or aerosols containing polymeric resins or gums. Many products of temporary styling are inconvenient for use and have the disadvantage of not allowing easy re-styling of the hair after the initial application and after the styling is finished, without the additional application of an additional product. It would be preferable to provide styling and retention benefits using rinse products such as conditioners and shampoos. These types of rinse products, however, require styling agents that are substantive to the hair and are not easily removed during the rinsing process. The P770 polymeric materials are especially useful styling and retention agents for rinse compositions. However, these hydrophobic materials can cause an accumulation of an unpleasantly visible residue on the hair with repeated use. This residue can uniformly surround the hair shaft and can be difficult to remove with normal shampooing. Therefore, there is a need for improved compositions to provide temporary styling and retention of human hair without the residue and negative effects frequently associated with these compositions. Similarly, there is a need for skin-forming, film-forming compositions that are easily washed with soap and water. In a surprising way; it has been found that hair care products, comprising a copolymer complex comprising a copolymer having at least one acidic functional monomer and at least one functional monomer containing nitrogen and at least one fatty acid complexing compound with the functional group containing nitrogen, provide excellent benefits of temporary styling and retention, in addition to improved "wash" characteristics. The copolymer complex of the present invention is soluble or dispersible in solvent components, hydrophobic, and P770 is easily deposited by these, it is still easily washed by the aqueous solutions of surfactants. These compositions can be made in any number of conventional forms including, but not limited to, shampoos, conditioners, creams, gels, lotions, aerosols and the like. It has been found that the copolymer complex and the volatile hydrophobic solvent component of the present invention, in addition to the aforementioned hair care benefits, are also useful for incorporation into a variety of cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions for topical application to the skin. These materials provide topical compositions that spread more easily and uniformly, with good skin feel, and even highly substantive. Additionally, these compositions are useful for the provision of occlusion to improve the penetration of a wide variety of cosmetic and pharmaceutical actives into the skin, or alternatively, through the skin for systemic distribution. The compositions of the present invention comprise a copolymer complex and a hydrophobic, volatile solvent component, suitable for application to hair or skin. The copolymer complex comprises a P770 copolymer having at least one nitrogen-containing functional group and at least one fatty acid complexing compound with the nitrogen-containing functional group. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide copolymer complexes having improved solubility or dispersibility characteristics. It is another object of the present invention to provide copolymer complexes that are soluble or dispersible in solvent components, hydrophobic, and are still easily washed by aqueous solutions of surfactants. It is another object of the present invention to provide personal care compositions in the form of hair care compositions having improved styling and / or retention properties and having improved aesthetics. It is another object of the present invention to provide personal care compositions in the form of cosmetic and pharmaceutical, topical compositions useful for the distribution and retention of a wide variety of cosmetic materials and pharmaceutical active ingredients for and through the skin. It is another object of the present invention to provide rinse compositions useful for hair styling and retention.

P770 It is another object of the present invention to provide methods for styling and retaining hair. It is another object of the present invention to provide methods for distributing and retaining cosmetic materials and pharmaceutical actives in the skin. These and other objects will become easily apparent from the detailed description.

The compositions of the present invention comprise the following essential components.

COPOLYMER COMPLEX The hair and skin care compositions of the present invention comprise from about 0.25% to about 30%; preferably from about 2% to about 15% and more preferably from about 2% P770 up to about 10% by weight, based on the weight of the hair and skin care composition, of a copolymer complex.

Based on the weight of the complete composition for hair and skin care, the copolymer comprises from about 0.1% to about 10%, preferably from about 1% to about 5%, and more preferably from about 1.5% up to about 3.5%, by weight. The copolymers of the present invention have a weight average molecular weight, in grams / mol, of at least 10,000. There is no upper limit for molecular weight except that the applicability of the P770 invention for practical reasons, such as viscosity, processing, aesthetic characteristics, compatibility of the formulation, etc. The weight average molecular weight is generally less than about 5,000,000, more generally less than about 2,500,000, and typically less than about 1,500,000. Preferably, the weight average molecular weight is from about 10,000 to about 5,000,000, more preferably from about 50,000 to about 2,000,000, still more preferably from about 75,000 to about 1,000,000, and most preferably from about 75,000 up to approximately 500,000. The copolymers of the present invention are formed from the copolymerization of monomer units A and monomer units B, randomly repeating, preferably wherein the monomers A are ethylenically unsaturated, polymerizable monomers selected to meet the requirements of the copolymer. By "polymerizable" as used herein, it is meant monomers that can be polymerized using any conventional synthesis techniques. Monomers that are polymerizable using conventional techniques initiated from free radicals are preferred. The term "ethylenically unsaturated" is used herein P770 to denote monomers containing at least one polymerizable carbon-carbon double bond (which may be mono-, di-, tri-, or tetra-substituted). The monomer units B are hydrophilic monomers which are copolymerizable with A and are selected from polar monomers, preferably having a Tg or a Tm, above about -20 ° C, and wherein at least 1% in The weight of the copolymer, of the hydrophobic monomer B, is selected from hydrophilic monomers B having at least one nitrogen-containing functional group. The monomer A and monomer B units form what is called the polymer structure and can be selected from a wide variety of structures as long as the copolymer has the required properties and meets the molecular weight and other requirements described in FIG. I presented. The copolymers of the present invention may optionally incorporate C macromonomer units. The C-macromonomer units are selected from at least one hydrophobic macromonomer unit containing a polymer portion and a copolymerizable portion of monomer A and monomer B. The units of macromonomer C form the hydrophobic side chains of the copolymer. The copolymers are prepared by the polymerization combination of monomers A and B and can be characterized P770 by the weight percentage of the monomers charged to the reaction vessel in which the polymerization reaction is run. C-macromonomers can optionally be incorporated into the polymerization reaction. As will be clear to one skilled in the art and especially from the Examples, the copolymer can have one or more hydrophobic side chains inserted into the structure. As is known in the art, synthetic synthesis graft copolymerization processes can produce a mixture of polymer molecules that contain none, or more than one of the hydrophobic side chains covalently linked to the polymer structure, and pendant this. From the knowledge of the number and molecular weight in average number of the hydrophobic side chains in a polymer sample, and the average number molecular weight of the polymer sample, it is possible to calculate the average number of hydrophobic side chains per polymer structure . The copolymer complex of the present invention, when dried to a film having 0.5% or less of the volatile, hydrophobic solvent component, has a Tg or a Tm of at least about -20 ° C, more preferably at least about about 20 ° C, so that the copolymers are not excessively sticky, or "adhesive" to the touch. As used herein, the P770 abbreviation "Tg" refers to the vitreous transition temperature of the polymer structure, and the abbreviation "Tm" refers to the crystalline melting point of the structure, if this transition exists for a given polymer. Preferably, both the Tg and the Tm, if any, are above about -20 ° C, more preferably above about 20 ° C. The grafted copolymers must satisfy the following criteria: (1) the portion of the polymer side chain is covalently bonded to the structure portion; and (2) the number average molecular weight of the polymer side chain portion is from about 1,500 to about 50,000. The copolymers of the present invention are prepared by the polymerization combination of the monomers A and the monomers B. Optionally, the macromonomers C can be incorporated into the polymerization process. By copolymerizing the free radicals of the monomers and macromonomers, the copolymers can be synthesized. The general principles of free radical polymerization methods are well understood. See, for example, Odian, "Principies of Polymerization", 3rd edition, John Wiley & Sons, 1991, pp. 198-334. The desired monomers and macromonomers are all placed in a reactor, P770 together with a sufficient amount of a mutual solvent, so that when the reaction is finished the viscosity of the reaction is reasonable. Unwanted terminators, especially oxygen, are removed as necessary. This is done by evacuating or purging with an inert gas, such as argon or nitrogen. The initiator is introduced and the reaction is set at the temperature necessary for the initiation to occur, assuming that the thermal initiators are used. Alternatively, a redox or radiation initiation may be used. The polymerization is allowed to proceed as long as it is necessary for a high level of conversion to be achieved, typically from a few hours to a few days. Usually, and by evaporation or precipitation of the copolymer by the addition of a non-solvent, the solvent is removed. Additionally, as desired, the copolymer can be purified. As an alternative to a batch reaction, the copolymer can be made by a semi-continuous or continuous process. In the semicontinuous process, two or more additions of monomers or macromonomers are made during the polymerization reaction. When the polymer is made of several monomers that react during the polymerization at different speeds, this becomes advantageous. The proportions of the monomers added to the reaction at the separate points of addition can be adjusted by a P770 skilled in the art in such a way that the polymers of the final product have a more uniform structure. In other words, the polymers of the final product will have a more consistent distribution of the monomeric content for each of the monomeric types charged to the reaction.

For the selection and appropriate combination of the particular monomer units and the macromonomer units; and by choosing the specific relative ratios of the well-known units within the ability of one of ordinary skill in the art, copolymers can be optimized for various physical properties and for compatibility with other ingredients commonly used in body care applications. hair.
