HAIR CARE COMPOSITIONS PROVID~NG CONDITIONING
AND ENHANCED S~NE




TECHNICAL FIELD

This invention relates to hair care compositions that provide
conditioning and shine to the hair. More particularly, this invention relates tO hair
5 care compositions that provide conditioning and enh~nced levels of shine tO the
hair.

BACKGROUND OF THE ~NVENTION
The shampooing of hair conventionally is pclroll,,ed ~Itili7ing any
20 of numerous detersive surfactant-co..~ .;..g compositions known in the art.
Whereas it is well known how to formulate shampoos that can effi~iently clean
the hair, merely providing clean hair is not, in and of itself, satisfying to
substantial se~...e~l c of consumers who also want their hair to be manageable, and
to also feel and look ple~cing and healthy.
One common method of providing a more pleasin_ and
manageable hair is through the use of hair conditioning agents, such as cationic~
quaternary ammonium surf~ct~nts and polymers, silicone fluids, and hydrocarbon
or other organic oils.
A conullon way to improve the a~)pe~nce of hair is through the
use of hair shine actives, such as shellac, riimpthicone~ oils and waxes, and
quaternary ~..",onium surf~ct~ntc Some hair care in~s.cdie..~s, such as the oilsand waxes, iimethicone, and cationic surf~ ntc provide conditioning as well as
hair shine benefits. However, they can only be used at limited levels without
causing adverse effects on hair appearance or feel. Too much oil, for example,
3 ~ can cause the hair to appear and feel greasy. High levels of dimethicone . cationic
surf~t~nts~ and waxes can cause the hair to develop a dirty, coated feel and to
become limp and without body, especially upon repeated usage. Shellac. on the
other hand, causes the hair to feel stiff or tacky.

WO 94/08~57 2 1 ~ 7 4 7 4 PCI/US93/09937
~ . . 2
The purpose of hair shine actives is to increase the amount of light
reflecting offthe hair surface. The definition of hair shine is generally accepted to
be the contrast between the specular and diffuse light reflected offthe hair fibers.
This contrast creates a perception of "sheen" or "highlight.~" strongly associated
by the consumer with "healthy hair".
Whereas a wide variety of hair shine actives are known in the art
such as those tli~c~lssed above, it remains highly desirable to provide hair care
compositions that can provide enhanced levels of shine to the hair without
incurring the cost, forrnulation tlifficlllties7 or hair aesthetic disadvantages that
would be associated with merely increasing the level of hair shine active in
prior-known compositions. It is an object of this invention to provide such haircare compositions.
It would further be desirable to provide hair care compositions that
could provide ~nh~nced shine, as described above, which could also provide
conditioning the hair, especially improved combing and hair feel. It therefore is
also an object of this invention to provide hair care compositions that can provide
both conditioning and enhance shine to the hair.
These and other benefits as mav be ~ cllssed or apparenl to one of
ordinary skill in the art can be provided according to the invention which is
described below.
All percentages herein are by weight of the compositi~n unless
otherwise inrlir.~ted. All ratios are weight ratios unless otherwise indicated.
Unless otherwise in~icatetl, all percentages, ratios, and levels of ingredients
referred to herein are based on the actual amount of the ingredient, and do not
2~ include solvents, fillers, or other materials with which the ingredient may be
combined as commercially available products.
The invention hereof can comprise, consist of, or consist
ess~nti~lly of the ess~nti~l elements described herein as well as any of the
pl~"~d or other optional ingredients described hererin.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It has now been found that hair care compositions providing
conditioning and ~nh~nced shine to the hair are provided through the combinationof a high refractive index nonvolatile polysiloxane fluid, a nonvolatile spreading
agent which is colllpa~ible with the polysiloxane fluid, and a carrier suitable for
3~ application to the hair. It is ess~.nti~l that the compositions contain the spreadin~
agent because even though the polysiloxane fluids hereof have high refractive
index. they do not provide the high levels of shine obtainable with the present
invention without the presence of the spreading agent.

WO 94/08557 2 1 4 7 ~ 7 4 PCr/US93/09937




More specifically, the present invention provides a hair care
composition that comprises:
(a) a nonvolatile polysiloxane fluid having a refractive index of
at least about 1.46,
(b) a nonvolatile spreading agent for said silicone fluid
intermixed with said polysiloxane fluid; and
(c) a carrier suitable for application to the hair,
wherein said composition contains a sufficient amount of said spreading agent toreduce the Surface Tension of the polysiloxane fluid. Preferably, the Surface
0 Tension is reduced by at least about 5%, more preferably by at least about 10%,
and the total of the mixture of said polysiloxane fiuid and said spreading agent is
at least about 0.1%, by weight, of the composition. Alternately, the present
invention can be described in terms of cont~ining a sufficient amount of said
spreading agent to increase the Glossmeter Specular Reflectance for said mixturerelative to said polysiloxane fluid, by at least about ~1.0%.
In pler~lled embo~iments, the polysiloxane fluid is a highly
arylated silicone, especially a highly phenylated silicone such as pentaphenyl
trimethyl trisiloxane or diphenyl methylphenyl siloxane copolymer. or diphenyl
dimethyl siloxane copolymer.
Suitable spreading agents include, but are not necessarily limited
to, silicone resins (especially MQ silicone resins), surfactants such as polyether
siloxane copolymers and non-silicone-cc,~ -g organic surf~r,t~ntc.
The present invention also relates to a method for providing
conditioning and enh~nced shine by applying the compositions hereof to the hair.The compositions and methods of the present invention are
advantageous for utilization in connection with a wide variety of hair care
products inclll.iin~ leave-on compositions, such as hair lotions, tonics, gels,
mousses, sprays, etc., and rinse-off compositions, such as shampoos and hair
rinses.
The present invention inr.~ g various optional and preferred
embo-liment~ thereof, is described in more detai; below.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF T~ INVENTION
The essçnti~l components and aspects of the invention, as well as
various optional and plerell~d ingredients and embodiments of the invention, are3s described below.
Hi h Refractive Index Nonvolatile Polysiloxane Fluid
The compositions of the present invention contain as an essential
ingredient a nonvolatile polysiloxane fluid ("silicone fluid") having a refractive

W094/085~7 214747~ PCI/US93/09937

index of at least about 1.46, preferably at least about 1.48, more preferably atleast about 1.52, most preferably at least about 1.55. Although not intended to
necessarily limit the invention, the refractive index of the polysiloxane fluid will
generally be less than about 1.70, typically less than about 1.60. Polysiloxane
"fluid" includes fluids as well as gums.
As is well known in the art, refractive index refers to the change in
direction (i.e. appa,~.,l bending) of a light ray passing from one medium to
another. Refractive index shall herein refer to the light ray passing from air to the
polysiloxane fluid or polysiloxane fluid/spreading agent mixture. Refractive index
o of the silicone fluid can be determined using standard equipment common~y
available and know in the art, such as an Abbe refractometer. Techniques for
measuring refractive index are described in the Handbook of Chemical
Microscopy, Volume I - Chemical Methods and Inorganic Qualitative Analysis,
Chemot and Mason, ed., John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York 1958, pp 311 -334.
The term "nonvolatile" as used herein means the material referred
to exhibits very low or no significant vapor pressure at ambient conditions, as
well-known and understood in the art. Nonvolatile materials will generally exhibit
no more than 0.2mm Hg at 25C and one atmosphere. Nonvolatile materials will
also generally have a boiling point at one atmosphere of at least 275C, preferably
at least 300C.
The polysiloxane fluid for use herein will generally have viscosity
of at least about 10 centistokes at 25C, preferably from about 20 to about
2,000,000 centistokes more preferably from about 30 to about 500.000
centistokes. Other viscosity nonvolatile silicone fluids can also be used in thepresent invention as long as the other requirements described herein are met. Ingeneral, if conditioning as well as hair shine is desired from the silicone fluid,
higher viscosity materials such as those above about 50,000, preferably above
about 100,000, are preferably used. The viscosity can be measured by means of a
glass capilla~y viscometer as set forth in Dow Corning Corporate Test Method
CTMOOG4, July 20, 1970.
The polysiloxane fluid suitable for purposes hereof includes those
represented by general Formula (I~:

wherein each R independently is substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic (e.~. alkyl
or alkenyl), aryl, aryloxy, alkaryl, alkoxy, alkamino (e.g. alkyl or alken~l amino
groups)~ hydroxy, or hydrogen, or combinations thereof: and n is an integer of at
least about 1, typically from about 1 to about 1,000. The R substituents can also
s include combinations of ether groups, hydroxy groups. and amine groups. as well
as other functional groups, such as halogens and halogen-substituted
functionalities, e.g. halogen-substituted aliphatic and aryl groups.
The polysiloxane fluid can be cyclic or linear. Linear polysiloxanes
are exemplified above by Formula I. Branched chain can also be used. Cyclic
0 polysiloxanes include those le,~"esel-~ed by Formula (II):

R




wherein R is as defined above, n is from about 3 to about 7, preferably from three
to five.
The substituç~t.~ on the si!oxane chain (R) may have any structure
20 as long as the resl-lting polysiloxanes remain fluid at room temperature, arehydrophobic, are neither i~ ing, toxic nor otherwise harmful when applied to
the hair, are compa~ible with the other components of the composition, are
chemically stable under normal use and storage conditions, are capable of being
deposited on the hair, and the resl.lting polysiloxane fluid has a refractive index as
2s set forth above.
Preferred alk,vl and alkenyl substitutes are C I -C5 alkvls and
alkenyls, more prefe~ably from C 1 -C4, most preferably from C 1 -C2. The
aliphatic portions of other alkyl-, alkenyl-, or alkynyl- con~ g groups (such asalkoxy, alkaryl, and ~lk~rnino) can be straight or branched chains and preferably
~o have from one to five carbon atoms, more preferably from one to four carbon
atoms, even more preferably from one to three carbon atoms, most preferably
from one to two carbon atoms. As tii~cussed above, the R substituents hereof canalso, contaln amino functionalities, e.g., ~lk~mino groups, which can be primary~
secondary or tertiary amines or quaternary ammonium. These include mono-, di-,
35 and tri- alkylamino and alkoxyamino groups wherein the aliphatic portion chain
length is preferably as described above. The R substituents can also be
substituted with other groups, such as halogens (e.g. chloride, fluoride, and
bromide), halogenated aliphatic or aryl groups, and hvdroxy (e.g. hvdroxy

WO94/08557 21~7474 ` ` 6 PCI/US93/09937

substituted aliphatic groups). Suitable halogenated R groups could include, for
example, tri-halog~n~ted (preferably fluoro) alkyl groups such as -Rl-C(F)3,
wherein R is Cl-C3 alkyl. Examples of such polysiloxanes include polvmethyl
-3,3,3 trifluoloprol,ylsiloxane.
The high refractive index polysiloxane fluids hereof contain a
sufficient amount of aryl-co,.l~;,.;ng R substituents to increase the refractive index
to the desired level, which is described above.
Aryl-co"l~;..;ng substit~lPnt.c contain alicyclic and heterocyclic five
and six membered aryl rings, and substituçnts co,-l~;"il-g fused five or six
membered rings. The aryl rings themselves can be substituted or unsubstituted.
Substituents include aliphatic substituerltc, and can also include alkoxy
substituents, acyl substituentc, ketones, halogens (e.g., Cl and Br), amines, etc.
Exemplary aryl-con~inin~ groups include substituted and unsubstituted arenes~

alkenyl substit~l~nts, e.g., allylphenyl, methyl phenyl and ethyl phenyl. vinyl
phenyls such as styrenyl, and phenyl alkynes (e.g. phenyl C2-C4 alkynes).
Heterocyclic aryl groups include substitlç~t~ derived from furan, irnidazole,
pyrrole, pyridine, etc. Fused aryl ring substituents include, for example,
napthalene, coumarin, and purine.
In general, the polysiloxane fluids hereof will have a degree of
aryl-cont~ining substit lçntc of at least about 15%, prefel~bly at least about 20%,
more preferably at least about 25%, even more preferably at least about 35%,
most preferably at least about 50%. Typically, although it is not intended to
necess~rily limit the invention, the degree of aryl substitution will be less than
2~ about 90%, more generally less than about 85%, preferably from about 5~% to
about 80%.
The po~ysiloxane fluids hereof are also characterized by relatively
high surface tensions as a result of their aryl substitution. In general, the
polysiloxane fluids hereof will have a Surface Tension of at least about 24
dynes/cm2, typically at least about 27 dynes/cm2. Surface Tension, for purposes
hereof? is measured by a de Nouy ring tensiometer according to Dow Corning
Corporate Test Method CTM 0461, November 23, 1971. Changes in Surface
Tension can be measured acco-ding to the above test method or according to
ASTM Method D 1331.

High refractive index polysiloxane are available commercially from
Dow Corning Corporation (Midland, Michigan U.S.A.) Huls America
(Piscataway, New Jersey, U.S.A.), General Electric Silicones (Waterford, New
York, U.S.A.).
Spreadin~ A~ent
The compositions of the present invention will also comprise a
nonvolatile spreading agent for the polysiloxane fluid. The spreading agent hereof
o must be co~ )a~ible with the polysiloxane fluid.
The term "nonvolatile" is as defined previously herein. By
"compatible" what is meant is that the spreading agent is soluble in, dispersible in,
or miscible with the polysiloxane fluid, such that these two components can
remain intermixed in the same phase of the composition. In other words. the
1~ spreading agent and the polysiloxane fluid are intermixed in the composition to
form a mixture wherein the spreading agent reduces the Surface Tension of the
polysiloxane fluid. Surface Tension reductions can be determined according to
the procedure described previously herein. The spreading agent and polysiloxane
fluid phase hereof can be a continuos or discontinuous phase in the present
compositions.
In one aspect of the invention, the compositions hereof can be
defined as co"~ g contain a sufficient amount of the spreading agent to reduce
the Surface Tension of the polysiloxane fluid by at least about 5%, preferably at
least about 10%, more preferably at least about 15%, even more preferably at
least about 20%, most preferably at least about 25%. Reductions in Surface
Tension of the polysiloxane fluid/spreading agent mixture can provide improved
shine enhancement of the hair. Although it is not int~nded to necessarily limit the
maximum degree of Surface Tension reduction to any particular amount, in the
plt;r~led compositions hereof Surface Tension will generally be reduced by from
about 20% to about 35%, more generally from about 25% to about 30%.
In general? the spreading agent should reduce the Surface Tension
by at least about 2 dynes/cm2, preferably at least about 3 dynes/cm2, even more
preferably at least about 4 dynes/cm2, most preferably at least about 5 dynes/cm .
The Surface Tension of the mixture of the polysiloxane fluid and
the spreading agent, at the proportions present in the final p.oduct, is preferably
30 dynes/cm or less, more preferably about 28 dyr.es/cm or less most preferably
about 25 dynes/cm2 or less. Typically the Surface Tension will be in the range of

WO 94/08~57 2 1 4 7 4 7 4 ` PCr/US93/09937

from about 15 to about 30, more typically from about 18 to about 28. and most
generally from about 20 to about 25 dynes/cm .
Gloss is a physical attribute that contributes to the shine or
lustrous appearance of an object. Gloss can be measured in terms of specular
s reflectance. Specular reflectance refers to the fraction, or percentage. of incident
light reflected from a surface in the mirror direction (i.e. Iight reflected in the
direction that is 180 from the light flowing from the light source toward the
reflective surface) within a specified angular toierance. Specular reflectance is a
useful means for measuring shineness of hair. Further background in specular
o reflectance and its use in ev~ tin~ shininess of hair can be found in R. F. Stamm,
M. L. Garcia, and J. J. Fuchs, "The Optical Properties of Human Hair-I.
Fun~m~nt~l Considerations and Goniophotometer Curves, and II. The Lustre of
Human Hair Fibers," J. Soc Cosmet. Chem. 28, 571-599 and 601-609
(September 1977) all incorporated herein by referce.
Specular reflectance measured from a coating of the compositions
hereof on a collagen-coated black ceramic plate correlates with shininess on hair
and is less suspect to e~ ;J~ental variations due to inconsistency between hair
samples and deposition the hair shine agent. Specular reflectance on such
collagen-coated black ceramic plates as measured in the present invention is
20 determined accordingly that the procedure below in the Experimental and is
referred to herein as Glossmeter Specular Reflectance.

W 0 94/085~7 2147~74 ~ PC~r/US93/09937

The present invention can alternately be described in terms of
compositions co~ g a mixture of the spreading agent and the polysiloxane
fluid wherein the composition contains a sufficient amount of the spreading agent
to increase the Glossmeter Specular Reflectance for the mixture. relative to thepolysiloxane fluid, by at least about "delta 1.0%" (hereinafter "~ 1.0%", wherein
delta relers to a change in percentage specular reflectance based upon 100% of
the original light intensity). Preferably, the increase in Glossmeter Specular
Reflectance is at least about ~2.0%, more preferably at least about ~5.0%, even
more preferably at least about ~7.5%, most preferably at least about ~10.0%.
o Glossmeter Specular Reflectance is measured according to the
procedure described below in the Experimental. In general, a 1.0% solution of
the polysiloxane fluid in the same solvent, if any, used in the same phase as the
polysiloxane fluid in the composition is used. If the polysiloxane fluid is not
diluted with a separate solvent in the composition, cyclomethicone should be used
to prepare the 1.0 % solution. If the necessary cyclomethicone/ethanol solutionscan be used to form the 1.0% of polysiloxane for purposes of the test. For the
control, no spreading agent is incorporated. Otherwise, spreading agent is
incorporated into the solution at the same weight ratio of polysiloxane fluid tospreading agent as present in the composition. The test solution is deposited on a
collægen-coated, black ceramic tile and allowed to dry. Specular reflectance is
measured with a glossmeter, a spectrophotometer suitable for measuring specular
reflectance from flat surfaces. Suitable glossmeters are commercially available
and known in the art, e.g. the "micro-gloss" glossmeter available from BYK-
Gardner, Ind., Silver spring, MD, USA.
The weight ratio of the polysiloxane fluid to the spreading agent
will, in general, be between about 1000:1 and about 1:10, preferably between
about 100:1 and about 1 1, more preferably between about 50:1 and about 2:1,
most preferably from about 25:1 to about 2:1. For hair rinse compositions it is
particularly pl ~rt ,I ed for the ratio to be between about 1 0:1 and about 2:1. When
fluorinated surf~S~ntc are used, particularly high polysiloxane: spreading agentratios may be effective due to the efficiency of these surf~ct~nSc. Thus, it is
contemplated that ratios significantly above 1000:1 may be used.
Ple~lled spreading agents for use herein include silicone resins,
and surf~ct~nts, which include both polye.ther siloxane copolymers an~
3~ non-silicone-cor.lAil.;g organic surf~r,t~nts. Especially prertlled spreading agents
are the silicone resins.

tetrafunctional silanes with monofunctional or difunctional monomer units, or
both, during m~nllf~r,hlre of the silicone resin. As is well understood in the art.
the degree of croc.~linking that is required in order to result in a silicone resin will
vary according to the specific silane units inco",o~led into the silicone resin. In
general. silicone materials which have a sufficient level of trifunctional and
tetrafunctional siloxane monomer units (and hence, a sufficient level of
cros.~linking) such that they dry down to a rigid, or hard, film are considered to be
silicone resins. The ratio of oxygen atoms to silicon atoms is indicative of thelevel of cro.c~linking in a particular silicone material. Silicone resins will generally
have at least about 1.1 oxygen atoms per silicon atom. Preferably, the ratio of
oxygen silicon atoms is at least about 1.2:1Ø Typical silanes used in the
m~nl~f~ctllre of silicone resins are monomethyl-, dimethyl-, monophenyl-,
diphenyl-, methylphenyl-, monovinyl-, and methylvinyl-chlorosilanes, and
tetrachlorosilane. Pl~;Çt;~Jed resins are the methyl substituted silicone resins. such
as those offered by General Electric as GE SS4230 and SS4267. Commercially
available silicone resins will generally be supplied in an unhardened form in a low
viscosity volatile or, preferably, nonvolatile silicone fluid. The silicone resins for
use herein will be present in the compositions hereof in non-hardened form rather
than as a hardened resin, as will be readily appal en~ to those skilled in the art.
Background material on silicones inrlutling sections di.cc~ls~ing
silicone fluids, gums, and resins, as well as m~nl-f~r,tllre of silicones, can be found
in Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Fngineering, Volume 15, Second
Edition, pp 204-308, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1989, and Chemistry and
Technology of Silicones, Walter Noll, Academic Press, Inc. (Harcourt Bruce
Javanovich, Publishers, New York), 1968, pp 282-287 and 409-426, both

Silicone materials and silicone resins in particular, can conveniently
be identified according to a shorthand nomenrl~tllre system well known to those
skilled in the art as "MDTQ" nomrnrl~hlre Under this system, the silicone is
described according to presence of various siloxane monomer units which make
up the silicone. Briefly, the symbol M denotes the monofunctional unit
(CH3)3SiO) 5, D denotes the difunctional unit (CH3)2SiO; T denotes the
trifunctional unit (CH3)Sil 5; and Q denotes the quadri- or tetra-functional unit
SiO2. Primes of the unit symbols, e.g., M', D', T', and Q' denote substituents
other than methyL and must be specifically defined for each occurrence. Typical

WO 94/08557 2 1 ~ 7 4 7~ .1 PCr/US93/09937

alternate substituents include groups such as vinyl, phenyls, amines, hvdroxyls~etc. The molar ratios of the various units, either in terms of subscripts to thesymbols indicating the total number of each type of unit in the silicone (or an
average thereof) or as specifically indicated ratios in combination with molecular
weight complete the description of the silicone material under the MDTQ svstem
Higher relative molar amounts of T, Q, T' and/or Q' to D, D', M and/or or M' in a
silicone resin is indicative of higher levels of croc~linking As discussed before,
however, the overall level of crosslinking can also be indicated by the oxygen to
. . .
slhcon ratlo.
lo The silicone resins for use herein which are pler~-,ed are MQ, MT,
MTQ, and MDTQ resins. Thus, the plerelled silicone substituent is methyl.
Especially plt:~--ed are MQ resins particularly those wherein the M:Q molar ratio
is from about 0.5:1.0 to about 1.5:1.0 and the average molecular weight of the
resin is from about 500 to about 10,000, generally from about l.000 to about
1~ 10,000.
Depending upon the particular choice of spreading agent
(particularly the silicone resins) and polysiloxane fluid, it may be necessary or
desirable to incorporate an additional solvent to ensure that the resin and
polysiloxane fluid are compatible with one another. Thus, if the silicone resin isn't
20 corl,palible with the polysiloxane fluid at the desired polysiloxane fluid: silicone
resin weight ratio, it will be useful to incorporate into the polysiloxane/spreading
agent phase a solvent to facilate ~nh~nced solubility or dispersibility of thesecomponents. If the solvent has a refractive index below about 1.46, or is
otherwise below the refractive index of the polysiloxane fluid, it may be desirable
25 to use a solvent which is volatile (materials that exhibit greater than 0.2mmHg at
25 C and one atmosphere, generally with a boiling point of less than 275 C), so
that it does not remain on the hair and potentially impair the shine performanceobtained according to the present invention. Suitable solvents include:
cyclomethicone, other cyclic siloxanes such as those described herein as carrier30 fluids, linear polysiloxane polymers such as dimethicone, and other low viscosity
analogues of the polysiloxane materials described in Formulas I and II, preferably
having viscosity at 25C of about 10 centistokes or less, such materials generally
having lower (or zero) degree of aryl-col,l~illh~g substituents than the highly
arylated, high refractive index polysiloxane of the present invention; volatile liquid
3 ~ hydrocarbons, such as straight or branched chain hydrocarbons having from about
4 to about 16 carbon atoms (e.g., hexane, isobutane, decane, dodecane,
tetradecane, tridecane): lower alcohols (e.g. C~-C4 alcohols such as ethanol andisopropanol); hydrocarbon esters, preferably with a total of about 10 carbon

W094/08557 21 ~ 79 7~ 12 PCI'/US93/09937

atoms or less (e.g. ethyl acetate); halogenated hydrocarbons (e.g. freon). volatile
ketones (e.g. acetone); and mixtures thereof Especially preferre~ is
cyclomethicone. The present invention does not, however. exclude the use of
nonvolatile solvents for the resiniphenylated polysiloxane solvent.
When used, solvents as described above will be used typically at a
weight ratio of (solvent) to (highly arylated nonvolatile polysiloxane plus
spreading agent) OI Up to about 100:1, more typically up to about 50:1~ for
rinse-offhair care products, preferably from aobut 2:1 to about 10:1 for hair rinse
products. For leave-on products, high levels of volatile solvents may be used aso carrier ingredients, as described later.
Surfactants
Surfactants that are compatible with the polvsiloxane fluid hereof
and which is suitable for application to the hair can also be used as a spreadin~
agent. The surfactants can be anionic, cationic, nonionic. amphoteric. or a
s zwitterionic.
Polyether Siloxane Copolymer
Polyether siloxane copolymers, or silicone "copolyols'! as they are
sometimes lef~ d to, are silicone-cont~ining surfactants that can be utilized asspreading agents for the polysiloxane fluid. Silicone copolyols are surfactants
charecterized by a hydrophobic polysiloxane chain and a hydrophilic alkoxy
portion.

1992 tc Bolich et al, and U.S. Patent 5,100,657, issued March 31, 1992 to
Ansher-Jackson et al., each incorporated herein by reference.
Suspending agents may also be utilized as carrier components for
suspending the polysiloxane fluid/spreading agent ha~r shine agent and/or other
immic~ble or particulate ingredients (e.g. anti-static cationic surf~ct~nt~ which are
insoluble in the composition, anti-dandruff actives (e.g. zinc pyridinethione), etc.
A suspending agent can be particularly important in pourable liquid formulations,
such as shampoos.
2s Exemplary suspending agents useful in the present compositions
include any of several long chain acyl derivative materials or mixtures of such
materials, such as lo_g chain acyl derivatives, long chain amine oxides. and
mixtures thereof, wherein such suspending agents are present in the composition
in crystalline form. These suspending agents are described in U. S . Patent
4,741,855, Grote and Russell, issued May 3, 1988, incorporated herein by
reference. In~ ded are ethylene glycol esters of fatty acids having from about 16
to about 22 carbon atoms. Plert:lled are the ethylene glycol stearates, both mono
and distearate, but particularly the distearate co~ g less than about 70/D oFthemono stearate. Other suspending agents found useful are alkanol amides of fatty
acids, having from about 16 to about 22 carbon atoms, preferably about 16 to 18
carbon atoms. P~ere"ed alkanol amides are stearic monoethanolamide. stearic
diethanolamide, stearic monoisopropanolamlde and stearic monoethanolamide
stearate. Other long chain acyl derivatives include long chain esters of lon_ chain

WO 94/08557 2 1 4 7 4 7 ~ ~ PCI/US93/09937

fatty acids (e.g., stearyl stearate, cetyl palmitate, etc.), glyceryl esters (e.g.,
glyceryl distearate) and long chain esters of long chain alkanol amides (e.g,
stearamide DEA distearate, stearamide MEA stearate).
Still other suitable suspending agents are alkyl (C 16-c22) dimethyl
amine oxides such as stearyl dimethyl amine oxide. If the compositions contain an
amine oxide or a long chain acyl derivative as a surfactant the suspending function
could also be provided by such surfactant and additional suspending agent may
not be needed if the level of those materials are at least the minimllm level given
below.
0 Other long chain acyl derivatives that can be used include
N~N-dihydrocarbyl amido benzoic acid and soluble salts thereof (e.g., Na and K
salts), particularly N,N-di(hydrogenated) C16. C 18 and tallow amido benzoic acid
species of this family, which are commercially available from Stepan Company
(Northfield, Illinois, USA).
The long chain acyl derivative materials, when utilized as the
suspending agent, are typically present in pourable, liquid formulations at a level
offrom about 0.1% to about 5.0%, preferably from about 0.5% to about 3.0%.
The suspending agent serves to assist in suspending the silicone material and may
give pearlescence to the product. Mixtures of suspending agents are also suitable
for use in the compositions of this invention.
Another type of sus~end;ng agent that can be used is xan~}lall gum.
Compositions uti~ ing ~ h~n gum as a suspending agent for a silicone hair
conditioning component are described in U.S. Patent 4,788,006, Bolich and
Williams, issued November 29, 1988, incorporated herein by reference. Xanthan
2~ gum is biosynthetic gum material that is commercially available. It is a
heteropolysaccharide with a molecular weight of greater than 1 million. It is
believed to contain D-glucose, D-mannose and D-glucuronate in the molar ratio
of 2.8:2.0:2Ø the polysaccharide is partially acetylated with 4.7% acetyl. This
h~lllla~ion and other is found in Whistler, Roy L. Editor Industrial Gums -
Polysaccharides and Their Derivatives New York: ~ç~emic Press, 1973. Kelco,
a Division of Merck & Co., Inc. offers ~r~nth~n gum as KeltrolR. The gum, when
used as the silicone hair conditioning component suspending agent, will typically
be present in pourable, liquid formulations at a level of from about 0.3% to about
3%, preferably from about 0.4% to about 1.2% in the compositions of the present
3~ invention.
Colllbhlalions of long chain acyl derivatives and xanthan gum are
disclosed as a suspending agent for silicone hair conditioners in U.S Patent
4,704,272, Oh et al.. issued November 3, 1987. incorporated herein by reference,

and may also be used in the present compositions. Gel formulations have high
levels of suspending agent relative to pourable, liquid formulations when used as
the primary means of h~lpal ~ing the gel-like viscosity to the composition. In such
compositions, the suspending agent will typically be present at levels of from
s about .1 to about 5%. Alternately, other materials can be used to impart a
gel-like viscosity to the composition, such as gelling agents (e.g., hydroxyethyl
cellulose), thickeners, viscosity modifiers, etc. Mixtures of these materials can
also be used.
Hair care compositions for which the present invention can be
o useful for also inrl~ldP, for example, tonics, mousses, gels and hair sprays.
Tonics, gels and non-aerosol hair sprays utilize a solvent such as water or alcohol
while mousses and aerosol hair sprays additionally utilize a propellant such as
trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorodifluoromethane, difluoroethane. dimethylether~
propane, n-butane or isobutane. A tonic or hair spray product having a low
viscosity may also utilize an emulsifying agent. Examples of suitable emulsifying
agents include nonionic, cationic, anionic surfactants, or mixtures thereof. If such
an emulsifying agent is used, it is p.e~,~bly present at a level of from about
0.01% to about 7.5% of the composition. The level of propellant can be adjusted
as desired but is generally from about 3% to about 30% of mousse compositions
and from about 15% to about 50% of the aerosol hair spray compositions.
Suitable spray containers are well known in the art and include
conventional, non-aerosol pump sprays i.e., "atomizers," aerosol containers or can
having propellantj as described above, and also pump aerosol containers utilizing
col,.plc:ssed air as the propellent. Pump aerosol containers are disclosed, for
2s example, in U.S. Patents 4,077,441, March 7, 1978, Olofsson and 4,850,577, July

Optional In~redients
The compositions of the present invention may be form~ ted in a
wide variety of product types, inr.l~l~1ing mousses, gels, lotions, tonics, sprays,
shampoos and conditioners. The additional components, in addition to the
carrier, required or desirable to formulate such products vary with product typeand can be routinely chosen by one skilled in the hair care product art. For
example, shampoos, will also contain cle~ncing surfact~nts, a wide variety of

WO 94/08~7 2 I ~ 7 4 7 4 PCr/US93/09937

which are well known. Exemplary surfactants that can be used as cleansing
surf~ctn~t.c are desicribed above. these include anionic. nonionic, amphoteric. and
zwitterionic non-silocone-cont~ining surfactants. Hair conditioners may contain.in addition to the high refractive index polysiloxane fluids, other hair conditioningJ
agents such as lower refractive index silicone fluids, such as those described
herein but with lower degrees of aryl-substitution, e.g., dimethicone, catioric
surf~ct~nt~ and cationic polymers, organic oils and waxes such as hydrocarbon
oils, and fatty acid esters, and alcohols.
A particular category of low refractive index (i.e. refractive index
0 below 1.46, generally below about 1.44, preferably from about 1.38 to about1.42) polysiloxane fluids that can be used are polysiloxane gums. "Polysiloxane
gum" refers to silicone fluids having a viscosity at 25C of 1,000,000 cp or
higher. Preferably, the viscosity will be from 1,000,000 to about 100,000,000 cpat 25C. Expecially ple~l-ed is polydimethylsiloxane gum. Low refractive inde~;
polysiloxane conditioners are generally used at levels of from about 0.01% to
about 1 0%, by weight, of the compositions, preferably from about 0.1 % to about5%, more preferably from about 0.5% to about 5%, most preferably from about
1% to about 4%.
In addition to providing hair conditioring benefits to compositions
20 CO~ g the high refractive index and spreading agent hereof, it has been foundthat the colllbinalion of low refractive index polysiloxane gum and high refractive
index polysiloxane fluids hereof, even in the absence of spreading agent, can
provide excellent hair conditioning with surprising improvements in shine. The
low refractive index polysiloxane gum and high refractive index polysiloxane fluid
2s are used at the previously disclosed levels. The weight ratio for the low refractive
index gum to the high refractive index fluid in this aspect of the invention is from
about 1:100 to about 1001, preferably from about 1:10 to about 10:1, more
preferably from about 1:5 to about 5:1.
Suitable cationic polymers include, for example, copolymers of

saturated aliphatic alcohol co,.~ from 1 to 4 carbon atoms such as ethanol or
butanol, and acrylic copolymers and terpolymers cor,l~il,;"g acrylic acid or
meth~crylic acid as the anionic radical-co"l~ ing moiety such as copolymers
with, butyl acrylate, ethyl methacrylate, etc.
Polymeric hair hold polymers also include amphoteric polymers.
One class of amphoteric polymers that can be used are acrylic resins with both
cationic and carboxylic groups. Examples include terpolymers of octyl and
acrylamide/acrylic acid/ butylaminoethyl methacrylate, copolymers of acrylic
acid/betaine methacrylate, and copolymers of octylacrylamide/acrylates.
Also silicone grafted adhesive copolymers can be used, such as
those described in which are polysiloxane-co~ ;l-;ng monomers with
non-polysiloxane-co"~ ;ng monomers such that said adhesive agent has a
weight average molecular weight of at least about 20,000, and comprises from
about 1% to about ~0%, by weight, ofthe polysiloxane-containing monomers.
The most pr~..ed polymers comprise an organic backbone.

monomers. These include vinyl monomers, and other condensation monomers
(eg., those that polymerize to form polyamides and polyesters) and ring-opening
monomers (eg., ethyl oxazoline and caprolactone).
o The prefelled polymerizable polysiloxane-co-lLai~ g monomer (C
monomer) can be exemplified by the general formula;
x(Y)nSi(R)3 -mZm
wherein X is a vinyl group copolymerizable with the A and B monomers; Y is a
divalent linking group; R is a hydrogen, hydroxyl lower alkyl (e.g. Cl-C4) aryl,alkaryl, alkoxy, or alkylamino; Z is a monovalent siloxane polymeric moiety

The hair care compositions of the present invention can be made
using conventional formulation and mixing techniques. Exemplary rhethods of
making various types of cosmetic compositions are also described more
specifically in the Examples below.
Method of Use
2s The hair care compositions of the present invention are used in
conventional ways to provide the conditioning and shine benefits of the present
invention. Such method of use depends upon the type of composition employed
but generally involves application of an effective amount of the product to the
hair, which may then be rinsed from the hair or skin (as in the case of shampoosand some conditioning products) or allowed to remain on the hair (as in the caseof spray, mousse, gel, lotion, and tonic products). By "effective amount" is meant
an amount sufficient to provide a hair shine benefit. Preferably, hair rinse,
mousse, and gel products are applied to wet or damp hair prior to drying of the
hair. After such compositions are applied to the hair, the hair is dried and styled
3s in the usual ways of the user. Hair sprays are typically applied to dry hair after it
has already been dried and styled. Mousses, tonics and lotions are typically
applied to hair in either dry or wet conditioning, depending upon the particular

WO 94/08~57 2 1 ~ 7 9 7 4 - 28 PCI`/US93/09937

intent of the formulation face, skin, or eye area in the conventional manners ofusage for those types of products.
Experimental
The following procedure is used to determine Glossmeter Specular Reflectance.
A collagen solution is prepaled by dissolving I O.Og of gelatin (17
bloom) in 83.0g DRO (double reverse osmosis) water at 155C, with stirring.
Next, 0.05g propylparaben is dissolved in the gelatin solution. Next, 4.5g lM
NaOH is added, followed by 3.0g of Ceraphyl GA-D (a mixture of 10-15% soy
bean oil and 85-90% maleated soy bean oil available from VanDyk lnc.,
o Belleville, NJ, USA) to form a stable, white emulsion. Next, 1.2g of lactic acid is
stired into the emulsion, rt:r~lled hereinafter as Solution A.
A 3.0%, by weight, formaldehyde in water solution, Solution B. is
prepared and contained separately from Solution A.
Ceramic tiles, approximately 7.3cm x 7.3cm in size having a black
s glazed top and an average peak height ("ro~ghness") of 5.0 -7.0 microns (can be
measured with a Rodenstock RM600-2D/3-D Measuring Station (Rodenstock
Meterology, Munich, W. Germany)) are prepared and coated with the collagen on
their top surfaces. Glossmeter Specular Reflectance of the collagen-coated tile
should be from 8.0 - 12.0%.
Specular reflectance of the collagen-coated tile is measured
ili7ing a glossmeter, such as a BYK-Gardner "micro-gloss" glossmeter.
Specular reflection measu, ~IIlt;llLS are made as described in ASTM Method D 523at an angle of incidence of 60. Specular reflectance as measured this way is
referred to herein as "Glossmeter Specular Reflectance." The tiles can be
2~ prepared as follows. Syringe A is filled with 3.0cc of Solution A. Syringe B is
filled with 0.2cc of Solution B. Syringe B contents are emptied onto the top
surface of a tile. Syringe A contents are emptied onto the top of Solution B, onthe top surface of the tile. The solutions are mixed for five seconds and spreaduniformly on the top surface of the tile with a spatula. At 30 seconds after
mixing, a 1.0 inch inside (li~met~r metal ring is placed on the top surface ofthe
tile. The collagen film is allowed to dry for eight hours. The metal ring is
removed. The roughness of the collagen coated surface of the tile should be from3.0 to 5.0 microns.
Polysiloxane and spreading agent mixtures are prepared as
3~ described above, at a 1.00% concentration in a compatible diluent at a weight
ratio of said polysiloxane fluid to said spreading agent corresponding to that
found in the composition. A syringe is used to deposit 0.05cc of the mixture at
the center of the area encompassed by the ring on the surface of the collagen-

W094/08~57 2I~7~74 PCI/US93/09937

coated tile. The mixture is allowed to drv. Glossmeter Specular Reflectance is
measured.
