Definitions

  • the present disclosure is drawn to cleansing compositions comprising hydroxypropyl guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride, and to methods for cleansing the hair or body with the compositions.
  • surfactants interact with water, thereby allowing it to “wet” surfaces more efficiently.
  • the surfactant-water combination is then able to surround the specks of dirt and carry them away with rinsing. Agitation of the water solution, for example by rubbing hands together during washing or lathering shampoo into hair, also aids the process of removing dirt.
  • Conventional cleansing compositions such as shampoos, for example, contain surfactants in various amounts.
  • Anionic surfactants are typically included because they provide foaming to a composition.
  • Nonionic surfactants may also be included to provide cleansing, solubilizing, and dispersing properties but are usually less irritating than anionic surfactants.
  • Nonionic surfactants however, often exhibit less foaming ability and do not provide any enhancement to viscosity (e.g., often a composition is thinner and runnier with increased amounts of nonionic surfactants).
  • higher viscosity is desired for the product's handling or ease of application.
  • higher viscosity personal care products are more aesthetically appealing to many consumers.
  • cleansing compositions have been driven by a need for certain performance properties that consumers find desirable. For example, consumers seek cleansing compositions that foam and cleanse well, have a certain “thickness” (viscosity), and are mild to the skin and hair. The cleansing compositions also rinse away from the hair and body with ease. However, the addition of a particular component to a cleansing composition often will enhance one desired property to the detriment of another desired property. It is therefore difficult to achieve a perfect balance of desirable performance properties.
  • the present disclosure relates to cleansing compositions that include hydroxypropyl guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride, and to methods for cleansing the hair and/or body using the cleansing compositions.
  • hydroxypropyl guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride is unique in its ability to improve cosmetic properties imparted to hair that is cleansed with the cleansing compositions containing it.
  • a combination of hydroxypropyl guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride and one or more additional cationic polymers other than a cationic guar, such as a cationic cellulose, is particularly beneficial.
  • Hair cleansing compositions containing this combination are particularly effectively for cleansing hair, but they also impart a type of conditioning effect to the hair, for example, resulting in the cleansed hair being less tangled and easier to comb. Hair cleansed with the cleansing compositions require less combing force to detangle than hair cleansed with typical cleansing compositions. Furthermore, hair cleansed with the cleansing composition exhibits improved frizz control, curl definition, and smoothness.
  • the cleansing composition of the instant disclosure do not require sulfate- based anionic surfactants.
  • Sulfate-based anionic surfactants are commonly used in cleansing compositions due to their robust cleansing ability and foaming properties. They provide abundant, dense, and long-lasting foam during use, which many consumers like.
  • the cleansing compositions of the instant disclosure however, have excellent foaming properties without sulfate-based anionic surfactants. Evaluation of the compositions’ foaming properties showed the foam is abundant, with more than half of the initial foam generated lasting at least 3 minutes after generation.
  • the cleansing compositions provide abundant and long-lasting foaming during use, despite the lack of sulfate-based anionic surfactants, and hair cleansed with the composition is easier to comb, resists frizzing, and exhibits improved curl definition.

  • Example 1 The compositions of Example 1 were compared to determine how combinations of different cationic polymers influence hair cleansed with the compositions.
  • Highly bleached Caucasian hair swatches SA40, 2.7 g, 27 cm
  • All hair swatches were initially cleansed with the same standard shampoo. After rinsing the standard shampoo from the hair swatches, the hair swatches were cleansed with one of the compositions set forth in Example 1 .
  • the same amount of each composition (A, B, and C) was applied to hair swatches, lathered into the hair swatches, and rinsed from the hair swatches.
  • Hair swatches cleansed with Inventive Composition A required significantly less combining force than hair cleansed with Comparative Compositions C-1 and C- 2.
  • These cleansing compositions differ with respect to the combination of cationic polymers but are otherwise identical. Therefore, the data show that hydroxypropyl guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride is unique when combined with a cationic cellulose.
  • Polyquaternium-10 is a cationic cellulose (quaternized hydroxyethyl cellulose). Combing force was not reduced for hair treated with Comparative Composition C-1 , containing a combination of polyquaternium-10 and guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride.
  • Comparative Composition C-2 containing a combination of hydroxypropyl guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride and polyquaternium-7.
  • Polyquaternium-7 is a copolymer of acrylamide and diallyldimethylammonium chloride, not a cationic cellulose. It was surprising to find that a combination of hydroxypropyl guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride and a cationic cellulose provide such significant improvements to hair with respect to ease of combing (reduced combing force).
  • Inventive Composition B and Comparative Compositions C-3, C-4, C-5, and C-6 were tested and compared to determine the cosmetic benefits provided by the compositions. Specifically, the following characteristics were assessed: Maximum Foam Height (mm), Foam Height at 180 seconds (3 minutes) (mm), Percent Foam Endurance (%), Maximum Wet Combing Force (gram force (gf)), Curl Definition, and Frizz Control.
  • Maximum Foam Height was obtained by measuring the highest point of the foam height with a foam analyzer (KRUSS Dynamic Foam Analyzer DFA100) immediately after mixing an aqueous solution of the composition at about 25°C for 20 seconds at 4000 rpm. 2.5 grams of the compositions were combined with 47.5 grams of water (total of 50 grams of solution). After mixing the solutions at about 25°C for 20 seconds at 4000 rpm, the foam analyzer measured the maximum foam height and lastingness of the foam.
  • KRUSS Dynamic Foam Analyzer DFA100 KRUSS Dynamic Foam Analyzer DFA100
  • Foam Height at 180 seconds (3 minutes) immediately after the mixing described above ceased was measured. The solutions were not agitated during the 180 seconds. The highest point of the foam height was again measured.
  • PFE Percent Foam Endurance
  • the cleansed hair swatches were evaluated with a Dia-Stron Fibre One instrument, commonly used in industry to evaluate wet combing force.
  • a comb having a 5 mm gap was run through the hair swatches beginning at the root end of the hair swatches (70 mm from the root end of the hair swatches) along a length of 200 mm, at a speed of 20 mm/sec and the Maximum Wet Combing Force ascertained.
  • the Maximum Wet Combing Force is the highest combing force reached as the comb was run through the hair swatches.
  • Curl Definition and Degree of Frizz were visually evaluated by a panel of 3 experts on a scale of 1 to 5 (described below) and the scored averaged.
  • Comparative Composition C-4 was particularly useful for showing the criticality of the hydroxypropyl guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride, as Comparative Composition C-4 exhibited the highest Maximum Wet Combing Force (and lacked hydroxypropyl guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride). Comparative Composition C-4 was the most difficult to comb through.
  • Inventive Composition B had excellent foaming properties despite containing both anionic surfactants (e.g., sodium cocoyl isethionoate) and cationic polymers (hydroxypropyl guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride and polyquaternium-10).
  • anionic surfactants e.g., sodium cocoyl isethionoate
  • cationic polymers hydroxypropyl guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride and polyquaternium-10.
  • Comparative Composition C-3 lacks polyquaternium-10 (a cationic cellulose), which interacts with the anionic surfactants. Absent the cationic polymer, fewer “neutralizing” interaction occur and therefore more foam is generated. However, curl definition and frizz control properties suffer, as shown by Comparative Composition C-3. Thus, results for Comparative Composition C-3 show the criticality of a cationic cellulose.
  • Comparative Composition C-5 lacks sodium cocoyl isethionate (an anionic surfactant), which interacts with the cationic polymers. Absent the “neutralizing” interaction, between the anionic surfactant and cationic polymers, more foam is generated. However, curl definition and frizz control properties suffer, as shown by the results for Comparative Composition C-5. This is surprising because it was expected that removal of the anionic surfactant would provide better conditioning properties given that anionic surfactants are known to reduce the conditioning effects provided by cationic conditioning polymers. Anionic surfactants serve to cleanse the hair and remove residue, including oils, which naturally condition the hair. Thus, it is common to use a separate conditioning product after cleansing the hair with a cleansing composition. Surprisingly, the compositions of the instant case not only cleanse but also simultaneously impart conditioning benefits to the hair.
  • Inventive Composition B provided exceptional foaming properties despite the inclusion of two cationic polymers.
  • Inventive Composition B provided surprisingly superior conditioning qualities to the hair. Omission of the hydroxypropyl guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride (Comparative Composition C-4) or omission of the acyl isethionate surfactant (Comparative Composition C-5), resulted in a loss of the superior conditioning properties provided by Inventive Composition B.
