CA 02264769 1999-03-03W0 93/09507 PCT/US97/15549PERSONAL CARE COMPOSITIONSTEQHNIQAL FIELDThis is a continuation-in-part of application Serial No. 08/708,334, filed on September 4,1996.The present invention relates to personal care compositions comprising a copolymer complexand a volatile, hydrophobic solvent component for solubilizing or dispersing the copolymer complex.The copolymcr complex is formed by complexing a fatty amine with a copolymer, wherein thecopolyrner comprises a hydrophobic monomer, a hydrophilic monomer such that at least 1%. byweight of the total copolymer. comprises hydrophilic monomers bearing acidic functional groups, andoptionally a hydrophobic macromonomer. These compositions provide improved delivery, depositionand retention to the hair and skin.BACKGRQUND OF THE INVENTIONThe rheological, holding, and film-forming properties of polymers and copolymers havecontributed immensely to their usefulness in a wide variety of personal care compositions. Productscontaining polymers include hairsprays, shampoos, hair conditioners, skin creams and lotions, make-up products, antiperspirants and deodorants, shaving creams, topical drug compositions, sunscreenproducts, and the like. Consumers are constantly seeking products providing improved perfonnancebenefits.In their quest to improve upon current products and to create new products, scientists andforrnulators are continually seeking to develop new key ingredients for such products. Becausepolymers play such an important role in the formulation of many personal care products. a need existsfor new polymers having new and useful properties. In the hair care area, for example, style retentionis generally accomplished by application of either permanent chemical alteration products ortemporary styling products. A permanent chemical alteration product, which is commonly referred toas a "hair penn.‘ typically involves treating the hair with various sulfur-containing compounds inorder to break the disulfide bonds in the hair fibers, thereby enabling one to alter the shape andorientation of the hair fibers. However, hair penn products have the disadvantage of being harsh anddamaging to the hair, and of being long-lasting and difiicult to reverse. Conversely, temporarystyling products generally do not break the chemical bonds in the hair fibers. These temporary stylingproducts typically are in the form of gels. lotions, mousses, or sprays containing polymeric resins orgums for coating the hair fibers and bonding them together. Many temporary styling products areinconvenient to use and have the disadvantage of not allowing one to readily restyle the hair alter theinitial application and styling is completed, without further application of additional product. ItCA 02264769 1999-03-03wo 98/09607 PCT/US97/155492would be preferable to deliver styling and hold benefits using rinse-off products such as conditionersand shampoos. These types of rinse-olf products, however. require styling agents that are substantiveto the hair and not readily removed during the rinsing process. Especially useful styling and holdagents for rinse-off compositions are hydrophobic polymeric materials. Such hydrophobic materials,however, may cause a buildup of an unsightly visible residue on the hair with repeated usage. Thisresidue can eventually completely surround the hair shaft and can be difiicult to remove with nomlalshampooing. Therefore, the need exists for improved compositions for providing temporary stylingand hold of human hair without the residue and negatives ofien associated with such compositions.Similarly, a need remains for film-fanning skin compositions which are readily washed off by soapand water.It has surprisingly been found that hair care products comprising a copolymer complexcomprising a copolymer having at least one acid functional monomer and at least one fatty aminecomplexed with the acid functional monomer provide excellent temporary styling and hold benefits inaddition to improved "wash ofl‘ characteristics. The copolymer complex of the present invention issoluble or dispersible in and readily deposited by hydrophobic solvent components, yet easily washedaway by aqueous surfactant solutions. These compositions can be made into any of a number ofconventional forms including, but not limited to, shampoos, conditioners, mousses, gels, lotions,sprays and the like.In addition to the afore-mentioned hair care benefits, it has been found that the copolymercomplex and volatile, hydrophobic solvent component of the present invention are also useful forincorporation into a wide variety of cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions for topical applicationto the skin. These materials provide topical compositions which are more easily and unifonnly spreadupon the skin, which feel good upon the skin, and yet are highly substantive. Furthennore, thesecompositions are useful for providing occlusion to enhance the penetration of a wide variety ofcosmetic and pharmaceutical actives into the skin, or alternatively, through the skin for systemicdelivery.The compositions of the present invention comprise a copolymer complex and a volatile,hydrophobic solvent component stumble for application to the hair or skin. The copolymer complexcomprises a copolymer having at least one acid functional monomer and at least one fatty aminecomplexed with the acid functional monomer.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide copolymer complexes havingimproved solubility or dispersibility characteristics. 4It is another object of the present invention to provide copolymer complexes that are solubleor dispersible in hydrophobic solvent components and yet are readily washed away by aqueoussurfactant solutions.It is another object of the present invention to provide personal care compositions in the formof hair care compositions having improved styling and/or hold properties and having improvedaesthetics.CA 02264769 1999-03-03wo 93/09507 PCT/US97/155493If is another object of the present invention to provide personal care compositions in the formof topical cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions useful for delivering and retaining a widevariety of cosmetic materials and phamiaceutical actives to and/or through the skin.It is another object of the present invention to provide rinse off compositions useful forstyling and holding hair.It is another object of the present invention to provide methods for styling and holding thehair.It is another object of the present invention to provide methods for delivering and retainingto the skin cosmetic materials and pharmaceutical actives.These and other objects will become readily apparent from the detailed description whichfollows.§UMMARY QF THE INVENTIQNThe compositions of the present invention relate to personal care compositions, comprising:A.) a copolymer complex comprising:a.) a copolymer having a backbone formed from the copolymerization of repeatingA monomer and B monomer units wherein the backbone has optionally grafiedto it hydrophobic C macromonomer units wherein the copolymer is prepared bythe polymerization combination of the following relative weight percentages ofthe A, B, and C units:i) from about 10% to about 99% by weight of the copolymer of one or morehydrophobic A monomer units, wherein the A monomer units arecopolymerizable with the B monomer and C macromonomer units;ii) from about 1% to about 40% by weight of the copolymer of one or morehydrophilic B monomer units, wherein the B monomer units arecopolymerizable with the A monomer and C macromonomer units andwherein at least about 1% by weight of the copolymer, of the B monomerunits, are selected from B monomer units having at least one acid functionalgroup; andiii) from 0 to about 50% by weight of the copolymer of one or more Cmacromonomer units wherein the C units are hydrophobic macromonomerunits, copolymerizable with the A monomer units and the B monomer units,the C macromonomer units having a number average molecular weight offrom about 1,500 to about 50,000; andb.) a complexing fatty amine wherein the fatty amine forms a complex with the acidfunctional group of the B monomer units;wherein the weight ratio of the copolymer to the fatty amine is from about 50:1 toabout 1:1;CA 02264769 1999-03-03wo 98/09607 PCT/US97/15549andB.) a volatile, hydrophobic solvent component for the copolymer complex having a boilingpoint at 1 atmosphere of about 260°C or less and a solubility parameter of about 8.5(cal/cm3)1/2 or lesswherein the copolymer complex is soluble or dispersible in the volatile, hydrophobic solventcomponent.In further embodiments, the present invention relates to a method of making a personal carecomposition, comprising the steps of:a.) preparing a copolymer having a backbone formed from the copolymerization ofrepeating A monomer and B monomer units wherein the backbone hasoptionally grafled to it hydrophobic C macromonomer units wherein thecopolymer is prepared by the polymerization combination of the followingrelative weight percentages of the A.

The term "graficopolymers" is familiar to one of ordinary skill in polymer science and is used herein to describe thecopolymers which result by adding or "grafting" a polymeric chemical moiety (i.e. "grafis") ontoanother polymeric moiety commonly referred to as the "backbone". The backbone typically has ahigher molecular weight than the grafis. Thus, grafi copolymers can be described as polymers havingpendant polymeric side chains, and as being fonned from the "grafting" or incorporation of polymericside chains onto or into a polymer. The polymer to which the grafts are incorporated can behomopolymers or copolymers. The grafl copolymers are derived from a variety of monomer units.The copolymers of the present invention can be prepared from the copolymerization ofmonomer units and macromonomer units such that the macromonomer units are "grafted" orincorporated into the resulting copolymer. The term "macromonomer" is a term familiar to one ofordinary skill in polymer science, and is used to described a polymeric material containing apolymerizable moiety. In other words, a macromonomer is a macromolecular monomer, which isessentially a high molecular weight type of monomer building block unit which can be used in apolymerization reaction to form polymers with itself, with other monomers, or with othermacromonomers.The tenn "hydrophilic" is used herein consistent with its standard meaning of having affinityfor water, whereas "hydrophobic" is used herein consistent with its standard meaning of lackingaffinity for water. As used herein in relation to monomer units and polymeric materials, includingthe macromonomers, copolymers, and solvents for the copolymers, "hydrophilic" means substantiallywater soluble. "Substantially water soluble" shall refer to a material that is soluble in distilled (orequivalent) water, at 25°C, at a concentration of 0.2% by weight, and are preferably soluble at 1.0%by weight. In contrast, "hydrophobic" means substantially water insoluble. In this regard,"substantially water insoluble" shall refer to a material that is not soluble in distilled (or equivalent)water, at 25°C, at a concentration of 0.2% by weight, and preferably not soluble at 0.1% by weight.The term “soluble” or "solubility" as used herein, means the capability of a substance to forma solution, i.e., either a true solution or a colloidal solution. A true solution being a uniformlydispersed mixture at the molecular or ionic level, of one or more substances (the solute) in one ormore substances (the solvent). These two parts of a solution are called phases. A colloidal dispersionis ofien called a solution. Since colloidal particles are larger than molecules it is strictly incorrect tocall such dispersions solutions; however this term is widely used in the literature. The term"dispersible" or "dispersibility“ as used herein, means the capability of a substance to form adispersion, i.e., a two-phase system where one phase consists of finely divided particles (often in thecolloidal size range) distributed throughout a bulk substance, the particles being the disperse orinternal phase and the bulk substance the continuous or external phase.The tenn "rinse-off or wash ofl“ is used herein to mean that the compositions of the presentinvention are used in a context whereby the composition is ultimately rinsed or washed from the hairCA 02264769 1999-03-03wo 98/09607 PCT/US97/155497and/or skin either after or during the application of the product. Nonlimiting examples of rinse-ofl'products of the present invention include hair conditioners. shampoos and soaps.The term "substantive" or "substantivity" as used herein, means the binding or retention of achemical or pharmaceutical active to the surface layer of the stratum comeum or to hair.The term "suitable for application to human hair and skin" as used herein, means that thecompositions or components thereof so described are suitable for use in contact with human hair andthe scalp and skin without undue toxicity, incompatibility, instability, allergic response, and the like.The aforementioned definitions shall also apply to other materials so described herein, to theextent any other definitions regarding such materials are consistent with those stated above.The compositions of the present invention comprise the following essential components.Copglmer complexThe hair and skin care compositions of the present invention comprise from about 0.25% toabout 30%, preferably from about 2% to about l5%, and more preferably from about 2% to about10%, by weight, based on the weight of the hair and skin care composition, of a copolymer complex.The copolymer complex comprises a copolymer having at least one acid functionalized monomercomplexed with a fatty amine. ‘l erThe copolymer complex of the present invention comprises from about 35% to about 99%,preferably from about 40% to about 90%, and more preferably from about 50% to about 70%, byweight, based on the weight of copolymer complex, of a copolymer. Based on the weight of theoverall hair and skin care composition, the copolymer comprises from about 0.1% to about 10%,preferably from about 1% to about 5%, and more preferably from about 1.5% to about 3.5%, byweight.The copolymer: of the present invention have a weight average molecular weight, ingrams/mole, of at least about 10,000. There is no upper limit for molecular weight except that whichlimits applicability of the invention for practical reasons, such as viscosity, processing, aestheticcharacteristics, formulation compatibility, etc. The weight average molecular weight is generally lessthan about 5,000,000, more generally less than about 2,500,000, and typically less than about1,500,000. 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, even more preferably from about 75,000 toabout 1,000,000, and most preferably from about 75,000 to about 500,000.The copolymers of the present invention are fonned from the copolymerization of randomlyrepeating A monomer units and B monomer units, preferably wherein the A monomers arepolymerizable, ethylenically unsaturated monomers selected to meet the requirements of thecopolymer. By "polymerizable." as used herein, is meant monomers that can be polymerized usingany conventional synthetic techniques. Monomers that are polymerizable using conventional freeradical initiated techniques are preferred. The term "ethylenically unsaturated" is used herein tomean monomers that contain at least one polymerizable carbon-carbon double bond (which can beCA 02264769 1999-03-03wo 93/09607 PCT/US97/155498mono-, di-, tn‘-, or tetra-substituted). The B monomer units are hydrophilic monomers which arecopolymerizable with A and selected from polar monomers, preferably having a Tg or a Tm aboveabout -20°C, and wherein at least 1%, by weight of the copolymer, of the hydrophilic B monomer isselected from hydrophilic B monomers having at least one acid functional group. The A monomerand B monomer units fonn what is termed the backbone of the polymer and can be selected from awide variety of structures as long as the copolymer has the required properties and meets themolecular weight and other requirements described herein. The copolymers of the present inventionmay optionally incorporate C macromonomer units. The C macromonomer units are selected from atleast one hydrophobic rnacromonomer unit which contains a polymeric portion and a moietycopolymerizable with the A monomer and the B monomer. The C rnacromonomer units formhydrophobic side chains on the copolymer.The copolymers are prepared by the polymerization combination of A and B monomers andcan be characterized by the weight percent of the monomers charged to the reaction vessel in whichthe polymerization reaction is run. C macromonomers may be optionally incorporated into thepolymerization reaction.As will be clear to one skilled in the art and especially from the Examples, the copolymermay have one or more hydrophobic side chains grafted to the backbone. As known in the an,synthetic grafi copolymerization processes may produce a mixture of polymer molecules containingno, one, or more than one hydrophobic side chains covalently bonded to and pendant from thepolymeric backbone. From knowledge of the amount and number average molecular weight ofhydrophobic side chains in a polymer sample, and the number average molecular weight of thepolymer sample, it is possible to calculate the average number of hydrophobic side chains per polymerbackbone.The copolymer complex of the present invention, when dried to a film having 0.5% or less ofthe volatile hydrophobic solvent component, have a Tg or Tm of at least about -20°C, more preferablyat least about 20°C, so that the copolymers are not unduly sticky, or "tacky" to the touch. As usedherein, the abbreviation "Tg" refers to the glass transition temperature of the backbone of thepolymer, and the abbreviation "Tm" refers to the crystalline melting point of the backbone, if such atransition 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 grafied copolymers should satisfy the following criteria:(1) the polymeric side chain portion is covalently bonded to the backbone portion; and(2) the number average molecular weight of the polymeric side chain portion is from about1,500 to about 50,000.The copolymers of the present invention are prepared by the polymerization combination ofA monomers and B monomers. C macromonomers may optionally be incorporated into thepolymerization process. The copolymers can be synthesized by free radical polymerization of themonomers and macromonomers. The general principles of free radical polymerization methods areCA 02264769 1999-03-03wo 98/09607 PCT/US97/155499well understood. gg, for example, Odian, "Principles of Polymerization", 3rd edition, John Wiley &Sons. 1991, pp. 198-334. The desired monomers and macromonomers are all placed in a reactor,along with a sufiicient amount of a mutual solvent so that when the reaction is complete the viscosityof the reaction is reasonable. Undesired terminators, especially oxygen, are removed as needed. Thisis done by evacuation or by purging with an inert gas, such as argon or nitrogen. The initiator isintroduced and the reaction brought to the temperature needed for initiation to occur, assumingthermal initiators are used. Alternatively, redox or radiation initiation can be used. Thepolymerization is allowed to proceed as long as needed for a high level of conversion to be achieved,typically from a few hours to a few days. The solvent is then removed, usually by evaporation or byprecipitating the copolymer by addition of a nonsolvent. The copolymer can be further purified, asdesired.As an alternative to a batch reaction, the copolymer can be made by a semi-continuous orcontinuous process. In the semi-continuous process, two or more additions of monomers ormacromonomers are made during the polymerization reaction. This is advantageous when thecopolymer is made of several monomers which react during the polymerization at different rates.The proportions of monomers added to the reaction at the separate points of addition can be adjustedby one of ordinary skill in the art such that the polymers of the final product have a more uniformstructure. In other words. the polymers of the final product will have a more consistent monomercontent distribution for each of the monomer types charged to the reaction.Examples of related copolymers and how they are made are described in detail in U.S. Patent4,693,935, Mazurek, issued September 15, 1987, U.S. Patent 4,728,571, Clemens eta1., issued March1, 1988, both of which are incorporated herein by reference.

The choice of appropriate carrier will also depend on the particular copolymer to be used,and whether the product fonnulated is meant to be left on the surface to which it is applied (e.g., hairspray, mousse, tonic, or gel) or rinsed off after use (e.g., shampoo, conditioner, rinse).The carriers used herein can include a wide range of components conventionally used in haircare compositions. The carriers can contain a solvent to dissolve or disperse additional copolyrnersbeing used, with water, the Cl-C6 alcohols, and mixtures thereof being preferred; and water,methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, and mixtures thereof being more preferred. The carriers can alsocontain a wide variety of additional materials including, but not limited to acetone, hydrocarbons(such as isobutane. hexane, decene), halogenated hydrocarbons (such as Freons), linalool, esters (suchas ethyl acetate, dibutyl phthalate), and volatile silicon derivatives (especially siloxanes such asphenyl pentamethyl disiloxane, methoxypropyl heptamethyl cyclotetrasiloxane, chloropropylpentamethyl disiloxane, hydroxypropyl pentamethyl disiloxane, octamethyl cyclotetrasiloxane,decamethyl cyclopentasiloxane, cyclomethicone, and dimethicone having for example, a viscosity at25°C of about 2.5 centipoise or less). and mixtures thereof. When the hair care composition is a hairspray, tonic, gel, or mousse the preferred solvents include water, ethanol, volatile silicone derivatives,and mixtures thereof. The solvents used in such mixtures may be miscible or immiscible with eachother. Mousses and aerosol hair sprays can also utilize any of the conventional propellants to deliverthe material as a foam (in the case of a mousse) or as a fine, uniform spray (in the case of an aerosolhair spray). Examples of suitable propellants include materials such as triclilorofluoromethane,dichlorodifluoromethane, difluoroethane, dimetliylether, propane, n-butane or isobutane. A tonic orhair spray product having a low viscosity may also utilize an emulsifying agent. Examples of suitableemulsifying agents include nonionic, cationic, anionic surfactants, or mixtures thereof.Fluorosurfactants are especially preferred, particularly if the product is a hair spray composition andmost especially if it is a spray composition having relatively low‘ levels of volatile organic solvents,such as alcohols, and relatively high levels of water (e.g., in excess of about 10%, by weight water). Ifsuch an emulsifying agent is used, it is preferably present at a level of from about 0.01% to about7.5% of the composition. The level of propellant can be adjusted as desired but is generally fromCA 02264769 1999-03-03wo 93/09507 PCT/US97l1554920about 3% to about 30% of mousse compositions and from about 15% to about 70% of the aerosol hairspray compositions.Suitable spray containers are well known in the art and include conventional, non-aerosolpump sprays i.e., "atomizers," aerosol containers or cans having propellant, as described above, andalso pump aerosol containers utilizing compressed air as the propellant.
