HAIR CARE COMPOSITIONS
10
The present invention relates to hair care compositions. In particular it
relates to hair care compositions which are easy to spread through the hair
and give improved conditioning and shine with reduced feelings of tackiness
and greasiness.
Background to the Invention
Hair is often subjected to a wide variety of insults that can cause damage.
These include shampooing, rinsing, drying, heating, combing, styling,
perming, colouring, exposure to the elements etc. Thus the hair is often in a
dry, rough, lusterless or frizzy condition due to abrasion of the hair surface
and removal of the hair's natural oils and other natural conditioning and
moisturizing components.
A variety of approaches have been developed to alleviate these conditions.
These include the use of ultra mild shampoo compositions, the use of hair
conditioning shampoos which attempt to both cleanse and condition the hair
from a single product and the use of hair conditioning formulations such as
rinse-off and leave-on products.
Leave-on hair care formulations provide added advantages over the other
approaches. For example, leave-on formulations are more cost effective and


CA 02337520 2001-O1-15
WO 00/06106 PCT/US99/06118
2
Leave-on hair care formulations provide added advantages over the other
approaches. For example, leave-on formulations are more cost effective and
work for a longer duration because the conditioning ingredients remain on the
hair. They are more convenient because the consumer can use the product at
any time and does not have to wait to rinse the product. Also, the product may
be applied to the parts of the hair most in need of the conditioning benefits.
Commonly, the conditioning benefit is provided through the use of hair
conditioning agents such as cationic surfactants, cationic polymers, silicone
conditioning agents, hydrocarbon and other organic oils and solid aliphatics
such
as fatty alcohols. These conditioning agents are well known in the art. See,
for
example, WO-A-97/35542, WO-A-97/35545, WO-A-97/35546, all of which
describe the use of conditioning agents in shampoo compositions.
Ideally these conditioning agents are deposited on the hair fibres and cause
the
hair to feel smooth and appear shiny. Preferably, the compositions should be
easy to work through the hair to ensure that the agents are deposited fairly
evenly along the hair shaft. However, conditioning compositions, especially
leave-on compositions where there is no rinsing step, are often difficult to
spread
and can deposit too much conditioning agent in an uneven manner. This causes
the hair to develop a dirty, coated feet and leaves the hair limp and without
body.
This is particularly noticeable when the compositions are used repeatedly and
when the hair is not washed daily. !t is therefore desirable to formulate
compositions that are easy to work through the hair and deposit the
conditioning
agent in an even manner. It is also desirable that these compositions deliver
a
refreshing feeling to the consumers scalp.
It has recently been suggested that polysiloxane resins could be used as hair
conditioning agents. For example, GB-A-2,297,757, incorporated by reference
herein, describes low viscosity organofunctionalised sifoxysilicates and gives
examples of their use in a hair care compositions. However, this reference
does
not address the problem of providing hair care compositions that give shine
and


CA 02337520 2001-O1-15
WO 00/06106 PCT/US99/06118
3
conditioning benefits and are easy to work through the hair but do not cause
the
hair to feel excessively tacky or greasy.
Surprisingly, it has now been found that hair care compositions that are
easily
spread and deliver good conditioning/shine benefits with reduced tackiness and
greasiness are provided by combining polysiloxane resin, wherein at least one
substituent group of the resin possesses delocalised electrons, with a C, to
C6
aliphatic alcohol. In addition, the compositions of the present invention
leave the
scalp feeling refreshed whilst not leaving the hair feeling dry.
Summar7r of the Invention
According to one present invention there is provided a hair care composition
comprising:
(a} polysiloxane resin, wherein at least one substituent group of
the resin possesses delocalised electrons; and
(b) C, to Cg aliphatic alcohol.
The compositions of the present invention are easy to spread through the hair
and provide good conditioning and shine benefits with reduced feelings of
tackiness and greasiness. In addition, the present compositions provide a
refreshing feeling to the scalp.
All concentrations and ratios herein are by weight of the hair care
composition,
unless otherwise specified.
All averages herein are weight averages unless otherwise specified.
Detailed Description of the Invention


CA 02337520 2001-O1-15
WO 00/06106 PCT/US99/06118
4
The hair care compositions of the present invention comprise two main
elements,
a polysiioxane resin, wherein at least one substituent group of the resin
possesses delocalised electrons, and a C, to C6 aliphatic alcohol. These
elements will be described in more detail below.
As used herein the terms "tacky" and "tackiness" means the adhesive, sticky
feeling of the hair after the application of some hair care compositions.
As used herein the term "leave-on" means a hair care composition that is
intended to be used without a rinsing step. Therefore, leave-on compositions
will
generally be left on the hair until the consumer next washes their hair as
part of
their cleansing regimen. Leave-on will generally comprise less than about 5%
of
anionic surfactant and will generally comprise less than 5% of non-ionic
surfactant.
Pol,~rsiloxane Resins
An essential feature of the compositions of the present invention is that they
comprise polysiloxane resin, wherein at least one substituent group of the
resin
possesses delocalised electrons. The hair care compositions herein will
generally
comprise from about 0.001 % to about 10%, preferably from about 0.005% to
about 5%, more preferably from about 0.01 % to about 2%, even more preferably
from about 0.1 % to about 1 %, by weight, of polysiloxane resin.
Polysiloxane resins are highly crosslinked polymeric siloxane systems. The
crosslinking is introduced through the incorporation of trifunctional and
tetrafunctional silanes with monofunctional or difunctional, or both, silanes
during
manufacture of the silicone resin. As is well understood in the art, the
degree of
crosslinking that is required in order to result in a silicone resin will vary
according
to the specific silane units incorporated into the silicone resin. In general,
silicone materials which have a sufficient level of trifunctional and
tetrafunctional


CA 02337520 2001-O1-15
WO 00/06106 PCT/US99/06118
siloxane monomer units (and hence, a sufficient level of crosslinking) 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 the level of
crosslinking in a
particular silicone material. Silicone materials which have at least about 1.1
5 oxygen atoms per silicon atom will generally be silicone resins herein.
Preferably, the ratio of oxygenailicon atoms is at least about 1.2:1Ø
Silanes
used in the manufacture of silicone resins include monomethyl, dimethyl,
trimethyl, monophenyl, Biphenyl, methylphenyl, ethylphenyl, propylphenyl,
monovinyl, and methylvinylchlorosilanes, and tetrachlorosilane.
The polysiloxane resin for use herein must have at least one substituent group
possessing delocalised electrons. This substituent can be selected from alkyl,
aryl, alkoxy, alkaryl, arylalkyl arylalkoxy, alkaryloxy, and combinations
thereof.
Preferred are aryl, arylalkyl and alkaryl substituents. More preferred are
alkaryl
and arylalkyl substituents. Even more preferred are alkaryl substituents,
particularly 2-phenyl propyl. Whereas at least one substituent must have
delocalised electrons, the resins herein will also generally have other
substituents without delocalised electrons. Such other substituents can
include
hydrogen, hydroxyl, alkyl, alkoxy, amino functionalities and mixtures thereof.
Preferred are alkyl substituents, especially methyl substituents. Therefore,
particularly preferred for use herein is dimethyl (2-phenylpropyl) silyl
ester.
As used herein the term "aryl" means a functionality containing one or more
homocyclic or heterocyclic rings. The aryl functionalities herein can be
unsubstituted or substituted and generally contain from 3 to 16 carbon atoms.
Preferred aryl groups include, but are not limited to, phenyl, naphthyl,
cyclopentadienyl, anthracyl, pyrene, pyridine, pyrimidine
As used herein the term "alkyl" means a saturated or unsaturated, substituted
or
unsubstituted, straight or branched-chain, hydrocarbon having from 1 to 10
carbon atoms, preferably 1 to 4 carbon atoms. The term "alkyl" therefore
includes alkenyls having from 2 to 8, preferably 2 to 4, carbons and alkynyfs


CA 02337520 2001-O1-15
WO 00/06106 PCT/US99/06118
6
having from 2 to 8, preferably 2 to 4, carbons. Preferred alkyl groups
include, but
are not limited to, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, and butyl. More
preferred are
methyl, ethyl and propyl.
As used herein the term "alkaryl" means a substituent comprising an alkyl
moiety
and an aryl moiety wherein the alkyl moiety is bonded to the siloxane resin.
As used herein the term "arylalkyl" means a substituent comprising an aryl
moiety and an alkyl moiety wherein the aryl moiety is bonded to the siloxane
resin.
Silicone materials and silicone resins in particular, can conveniently be
identified
according to ~ shorthand nomenclature system well known to those skilled in
the
art as "MDTQ" nomenclature. 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)3SiOp.S;
D
denotes the difunctional unit (CH3)2Si0; T denotes the trifunctional unit
(CH3)SiO~ ,b; and Q denotes the quadri- or tetra-functional unit Si02. Primes
of
the unit symbols, e.g., M', D', T', and Q' denote siloxane units with one or
more
substituents other than methyl, and must be specifically defined for each
occurrence. Therefore, the polysiloxane resins for use herein must have at
least
one M', D', T' or Q' functionality that possesses a substituent group with
delocalised electrons. Preferred substituents are as defined hereinabove. The
molar ratios of the various units, either in terms of subscripts to the
symbols
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 system.
Preferred polysiloxane resins for use herein are M'Q resins, more preferred
are
M'6Q3, M'BQ4 and M',oQS, M',2Q6 resins and mixtures thereof. Preferred M'Q
resins are those which have at least one group containing delocalised
electrons


CA 02337520 2001-O1-15
WO 00/06106 PCT/US99/06118
7
substituted on each M' functionality. More preferred are resins where the
other
substituent groups are alkyl, especially methyl.
The polysiloxane resins for use herein will preferably have a viscosity of
less than
about 5000 mm2s~', more preferably less than about 2000 mm2s~', even more
preferably less than about 1000 mmzs~', even more still preferably less than

The number average particle size of the optional silicone component can vary
widely without limitation and will depend on the formulation and/or the
desired
characteristics. Number average particle sizes preferred for use in the
present
invention will typically range from about 10 nanometres to about 100 microns,
more preferably from about 30 nanometres to about 20 microns.
Cationic Conditioning A4ents
The compositions of the present invention can also comprise one or more
cationic polymer conditioning agents. The cationic polymer conditioning agents
will preferably be water soluble. Cationic polymers are typically at
concentrations
of from about 0.001 % to about 20%, more typically from about 0.005% to about
10%, preferably from about 0.01 % to about 2%, by weight, of the total
composition.
By "water soluble" cationic polymer, what is meant is a polymer which is
sufficiently soluble in water to form a substantially clear solution to the
naked eye
at a concentration of 0.1 % in water (distilled or equivalent) at 25°C.
Preferably,
the polymer will be sufficiently soluble to form a substantially clear
solution at
0.5% concentration, more preferably at 1.0% concentration.
As used herein, the term "polymer" shall include materials whether made by
polymerization of one type of monomer or made by two (i.e., copolymers) or
more types of monomers.
The cationic polymers hereof will generally have a weight average molecular
weight which is at least about 5,000, typically at least about 10,000, and is
less
than about 10 million. Preferably, the molecular weight is from about 100,000
to
about 2 million. The cationic polymers will generally have cationic
nitrogen-containing moieties such as Quaternary ammonium or cationic amino
moieties, and mixtures thereof.


CA 02337520 2001-O1-15
WO 00/06106 PCT/US99/06118
13
The cationic charge density is preferably at least about 0.1 meqlg, more
preferably at least about 0.5 meq/g, even more preferably at least about 1.1
meqlg, most preferably at least about 1.2 meq/g. Generally, for practical
purposes, the cationic polymers will have a cationic charge density of less
than
about 7meqlg, preferably less than about 5meq/g, more preferably less than
about 3.5meq/g, even more preferably less than about 2.5meq/g. Cationic
charge density of the cationic polymer can be determined using the Kjeldahl
Method (United States Pharmacopoeia - Chemical tests - <461 > Nitrogen
Determination - method II). Those skilled in the art will recognise that the
charge
density of some amino-containing polymers may vary depending upon pH and
the isoelectric point of the amino groups. The charge density should be within
the above limits at the pH of intended use.
Any anionic counterions can be utilized for the cationic polymers so long as
the
water solubility criteria is met. Suitable counterions include halides (e.g.,
Cl, Br,
I, or F, preferably CI, Br, or I), sulfate, and methylsulfate. Others can also
be
used, as this list is not exclusive.
The cationic nitrogen-containing moiety will be present generally as a
substituent,

instructions in
GB-A-2,297,775
All ingredients of A are solublised in water and then heated to 80°C.
All of
ingredients B are then added. The solution is then cooled by recirculation to
30°C through a plate heat exchanger with simultaneous high shear
mixing. The
cooling rate is maintained at between 1.0 and 1.5°C/min. Approximately
50% of
ingredient D, t~iethanolamine, is then added and the solution is mixed until
homologous. All of ingredients C are then added and the resulting solution is
high shear mixed until homogenous particle size distribution is achieved.
Recirculation is then stopped to prevent shear stress damage to the product
during completion of neutralisation. The remaining ingredient D is added until
the
specified pH and viscosity are reached.
All of the exemplified compositions show good conditioning and shine while at
the same time having reduced tackiness, greasiness and a refreshing feeling.
