FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure relates to cleaning compositions that are free of sodium chloride and sulfate-based surfactants. The cleansing compositions are particularly useful for cleansing and conditioning the body and hair.

Background

Most "soils" that adhere to the surface of skin and hair contain traces of oil and grease. Flushing with water alone is not sufficient to adequately remove oil and grease. The primary functional ingredient in the cleaning composition is a surfactant. Surfactants interact with water to allow it to more effectively "wet" the surface. The surfactant-water combination can then wrap the stains and carry them away under rinsing. Agitation of the aqueous solution, such as rubbing the hands during washing or foaming the shampoo into the hair, also aids in the decontamination process.

Conventional cleansing compositions, such as shampoos, for example, contain various amounts of surfactants. Anionic surfactants are typically included because they provide foaming to the composition. Nonionic surfactants may also be included to provide cleaning, solubilizing and dispersing properties, but are generally less irritating than anionic surfactants. However, nonionic surfactants generally exhibit lower foaming capacity and do not provide any viscosity enhancement (e.g., the compositions are generally thinner and more flowable as the amount of nonionic surfactant increases). In some cleaning applications, higher viscosity is required in order to handle the product or to ease application. In addition, higher viscosity personal care products are more aesthetically appealing to many consumers.

The need for certain performance properties that consumers find desirable has driven the development of cleaning compositions. For example, consumers seek cleansing compositions that lather and cleanse well, have a certain "body" (viscosity), and are mild to the skin and hair. The cleansing composition should also be easily rinsed from the body. Typically, the addition of a particular component to a cleaning composition will enhance one desired property but compromise another desired property. It is difficult to achieve a perfect balance of desirable performance properties.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure relates to cleaning compositions that are free of sodium chloride and sulfate-based surfactants.

Most conventional cleaning compositions, and especially shampoo compositions, contain sodium chloride. Sodium chloride plays an essential role in the structure of the cleaning composition. It helps with corrosion protection, helps with overall performance benefits, and most importantly increases viscosity. By using sodium chloride as a thickening agent, the product is less fluid and therefore more easily spread on the body and distributed throughout the hair. However, the use of sodium chloride in high amounts in cleansing compositions can have a "drying" effect on the hair and body. Sodium chloride is highly hygroscopic, so it absorbs water and absorbs moisture, leaving the hair and body feeling dry and textured.

Sulfate based surfactants are also common in cleaning compositions due to their strong cleaning properties. However, sulfate-based surfactants can be harsh, especially when used to clean delicate hair. Sulfate based surfactants, like non-sulfate based surfactants, remove unwanted soils and contaminants, but sulfate based surfactants tend to remove natural oils from the hair, which oils generally help prevent drying.

The cleaning compositions of the present invention are free of sodium chloride and sulfate-based surfactants. Despite the absence of these common ingredients, the cleansing compositions have desirable viscosity and exhibit improved lathering, detangling, shine, curl control, smoothness and hair style (discopline to hair) as compared to shampoos containing sodium chloride. These results are due, at least in part, to the unique blend of sulfate-free surfactants, silicones, and the use of hydrophobically modified poly (meth) acrylates. The hydrophobically modified poly (meth) acrylate aids in viscosity, helps stabilize the composition, and improves the overall conditioning properties of the composition (e.g., provides curl control, smoothness, and smooth shine). It has been unexpectedly found that hydrophobically modified poly (meth) acrylates, which function as anionic associative rheology modifiers, enhance the conditioning, smoothness and curl control properties of cleansing compositions despite their anionic nature.

The cleaning compositions of the present disclosure comprise:

(a) one or more non-sulfate anionic surfactants;

(b) one or more amphoteric surfactants;

(c) one or more nonionic surfactants;

(d) one or more hydrophobically modified poly (meth) acrylates;

(e) one or more silicones; and

(f) and (3) water.

The composition is free of sodium chloride and sulfate based surfactants.

Non-limiting examples of non-sulfate anionic surfactants include acyl isethionates, acyl amino acids (e.g., acyl taurates, acyl glycinates, acyl glutamates and acyl sarcosinates), alkyl sulfonates, alkyl sulfosuccinates, alkyl sulfoacetates, alkoxylated monoacids, salts thereof, and mixtures thereof. In some cases, it is preferred that a plurality (two or more, or three or more) of non-sulfate anionic surfactants, e.g., a plurality of non-sulfate anionic surfactants, comprise at least: (i) one or more acyl isethionates, salts thereof or mixtures thereof; and (ii) one or more acylamino acid surfactants, salts thereof or mixtures thereof. Non-limiting examples of acyl amino acid surfactants include acyl taurates, acyl sarcosinates, acyl glycinates, acyl glutamates, salts thereof and mixtures thereof. A particularly useful variety of non-sulfate anionic surfactants comprise at least: (i) one or more acyl isethionates, salts thereof or mixtures thereof; and (ii) one or more acyl sarcosinates, salts thereof or mixtures thereof.

In particular, the silicone may be chosen from dimethicone, cyclomethicone (cyclopentasiloxane), amodimethicone, trimethylsilylaminodimethicone, phenyl trimethicone, trimethylsiloxysilicate, polymethylsilsesquioxane and mixtures thereof.

A number of additional components may optionally be included in (or excluded from) the cleansing composition, for example, thickeners (in addition to the hydrophobically modified poly (meth) acrylates), conditioning agents, such as conditioning polymers, including cationic conditioning polymers and/or non-silicone fatty compounds, water soluble solvents, fatty compounds, preservatives, colorants, pH adjusters, chelating agents, film forming polymers, and the like.

The cleansing compositions are particularly useful for cleansing and conditioning the hair. The compositions exhibit good cleaning, lathering and foam stability, and conditioning properties. In addition, the cleansing composition provides various desirable benefits to the hair, such as smoothness, detangling, and shine. Thus, the cleansing compositions are useful in methods of cleansing hair, methods of conditioning hair, and methods of imparting smoothness, detangling, and/or shine to hair.

Detailed description of the disclosure

The cleaning composition of the present invention comprises:

(a) from about 1 to about 25 wt% of one or more non-sulfate anionic surfactants;

(b) from about 1 to about 15 weight percent of one or more amphoteric surfactants;

(c) about 1 to about 15 weight percent of one or more nonionic surfactants;

(d) about 0.01 to about 10 weight percent of one or more hydrophobically modified poly (meth) acrylates;

(e) about 0.1 to about 10 weight percent of one or more silicones; and

(f) about 50 to about 95 weight percent water;

wherein all weight percents are based on the total weight of the cleaning composition; and wherein the composition is free of sodium chloride and sulfate-based surfactants.

The interaction of the non-sulfate anionic surfactant, amphoteric surfactant, and nonionic surfactant forms a surfactant system that imparts cleaning power, stability, lathering, and lathering to the cleaning composition. Anionic surfactants have a negative charge on the polar head group. These surfactants are typically used for their detersive properties. They are very effective in removing dirt and oil from the body, hair and scalp. Nonionic surfactants are surfactants having no (or little) residual charge. These surfactants can perform various functions such as emulsion stabilization, mild detergency and viscosity adjustment. Amphoteric (zwitterionic) surfactants have a double charge (both positive and negative on the molecule). Many amphoteric surfactants exhibit pH-dependent charge behavior, with one charge at lower pH and the opposite charge at higher pH. These types of surfactants tend to be mild to both the skin and the hair. They may also provide foam boosting properties in combination with anionic surfactants that enhance foaming.

The total amount of surfactant (total amount of all surfactants) in the cleaning composition can vary, but is typically from about 5 to about 40 wt.%, based on the total weight of the cleaning composition. In some cases, the total amount of surfactant is about 5 to about 35 wt.%, about 5 to about 30 wt.%, about 5 to about 25 wt.%, about 10 to about 40 wt.%, about 10 to about 35 wt.%, about 10 to about 30 wt.%, about 10 to about 25 wt.%, about 15 to about 40 wt.%, about 15 to about 35 wt.%, about 15 to about 30 wt.%, about 15 to about 25 wt.%, or about 16 to about 24 wt.%, based on the total weight of the cleaning composition.

(a) Non-sulfate anionic surfactants

In some cases, the non-sulfate anionic surfactant is the predominant surfactant type in the cleaning composition (i.e., the percentage of non-sulfate anionic surfactant is higher than the percentage of any other single surfactant type in the cleaning composition). Furthermore, in some cases, the total amount of non-sulfate anionic surfactant in the cleaning composition is higher than the total amount of all other surfactant types in the cleaning composition. In other words, the phrase "all other surfactants" refers to any and all surfactants in the cleaning composition other than anionic surfactants.

The total amount of non-sulfate anionic surfactant in the cleaning composition can vary, but is typically in the range of about 5 to about 25 wt.%, based on the total weight of the cleaning composition. In some cases, the total amount of non-sulfate anionic surfactant in the cleaning composition may be about 5 to about 20 wt.%, about 5 to about 15 wt.%, about 10 to about 25 wt.%, about 10 to about 20 wt.%, or about 10 to about 20 wt.%, based on the total weight of the cleaning composition.

Viscosity measurements can be made, for example, using a Brookfield viscometer/rheometer with an RV-3 Disk spindle at speeds of 5, 10, 15 and/or 20 rpm or with an M4 spindle using Rheomat. The RVDV-II + Pro viscometer with RheocalcT software can be used for automated instrument control and data acquisition. The temperature of the experiment was maintained at 25 ℃ by using a Brookfield TC-502P Programmable modified Bath. The sample was transferred from its original container to a 600 ml beaker and then tested.

In some cases, the viscosity is about 2000 cP to about 20,000 cP, about 2000 cP to about 18,000 cP, about 2000 cP to about 15,000 cP, about 3000 cP to about 20,000 cP, about 3000 cP to about 18,000, about 3000 cP to about 15,000 cP, about 3000 cP to about 12,000 cP, or about 3000 cP to about 10,000 cP.

Cleaning compositions are not typically in the form of an emulsion (emulsion). Rather, the cleaning composition is typically in the form of a dispersion. Due to the cleansing and conditioning properties of the cleansing composition, in some instances, the cleansing composition may be designated as a "shampoo," a "conditioning shampoo," or an "all-in-one conditioning and conditioning composition. The cleansing composition may also be a body wash or a hair shampoo.

The cleansing compositions of the present disclosure are particularly useful for cleansing and conditioning hair. In addition, the cleansing compositions provide various desirable cosmetic and styling benefits to the hair, such as smoothness, detangling, and shine. Thus, the cleansing compositions are useful in methods of cleansing hair, methods of conditioning hair, and methods of imparting smoothness, detangling, and/or shine to hair. Accordingly, the present disclosure encompasses methods of treating hair with the cleansing compositions of the present disclosure. Such methods may include simply applying the cleansing compositions of the present disclosure to the hair.

In some cases, methods of using the cleansing compositions include shampooing and/or conditioning the hair with the cleansing compositions of the present disclosure. Such methods generally comprise applying an effective amount of the cleansing composition of the present disclosure to the hair, allowing the cleansing composition to remain on the hair for a period of time, and then rinsing the cleansing composition from the hair. Typically, the cleansing composition is allowed to remain on the hair for only a sufficient period of time to incorporate the cleansing composition into the hair, for example by hand foaming the composition throughout the hair.

As is common with shampoos and/or conditioning compositions, the hair may be wetted or rinsed with water prior to application of the cleansing compositions of the present disclosure. The presence of water in the hair can help create foam when the cleansing composition is applied because the water interacts with the surfactant of the surfactant system.

Implementations of the present disclosure are provided by the following examples. These examples are intended to illustrate the technology and are not intended to be limiting.

A study was conducted comparing inventive composition a to comparative composition a, which was identical to comparative composition a except that comparative composition a did not include hydrophobically modified poly (meth) acrylate (acrylate/beheneth-25 methacrylate copolymer). The side-by-side test was performed using the half-head of the model. The scheme consists of the following components: the hair was cleaned with equal amounts of inventive composition a on one side of the head and comparative composition a on the other side of the head. Evaluation was performed by a human expert (n = 3) during the wet and dry phases. The attributes are arranged in a hierarchy of 1 to 5. Surprisingly, composition a of the present invention exhibits better conditioning, smoothness and curl control properties despite the anionic nature of the hydrophobically modified poly (meth) acrylate. The inclusion of hydrophobically modified poly (meth) acrylates provides excellent conditioning benefits to the inventive composition a and results in hair having a smoother, shinier final appearance and more sealed ends.

The foregoing specification illustrates and describes the present invention. The disclosure shows and describes only the preferred embodiments, but it is to be understood that the invention is capable of use in various other combinations, modifications, and environments and is capable of changes or modifications within the scope of the inventive concept as expressed herein, commensurate with the above teachings and/or the skill or knowledge of the relevant art. The embodiments described hereinabove are further intended to explain best modes known to the applicant and to enable others skilled in the art to utilize the disclosure. Accordingly, the description is not intended to limit the invention to the form disclosed herein.

The terms "comprising," "having," and "including" as used herein are used in their open, non-limiting sense. The phrase "consisting essentially of …" limits the scope of the claims to the specified materials or steps and those materials or steps that do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristics of the claimed invention.

The terms "a" and "an" and "the" are to be understood as including the plural as well as the singular.

Thus, the term "a mixture thereof" also relates to "mixtures thereof". Throughout this disclosure, the term "mixture thereof" may be used after a list of elements as shown in the following examples, where the letters a-F represent the elements: the term "one or more elements selected from A, B, C, D, E, F and mixtures thereof" does not require that the mixture include all of A, B, C, D, E and F (although all of A, B, C, D, E and F may be included). Rather, it refers to a mixture that may include any two or more of A, B, C, D, E and F. In other words, it is equivalent to the phrase "one or more elements selected from A, B, C, D, E, F, and a mixture of any two or more of A, B, C, D, E and F".

Likewise, the term "one salt thereof" also relates to "salts thereof". Thus, if the present disclosure refers to an "element selected from A, B, C, D, E, F, salts thereof, and mixtures thereof," it is meant that it may include one or more of A, B, C, D and F, may include one or more of a salt, B salt, C salt, D salt, E salt, and F salt, or may include a mixture of any two of A, B, C, D, E, F, A salt, B salt, C salt, D salt, E salt, and F salt.

Reference throughout this disclosure to salts may include salts having counter ions such as alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, or ammonium counter ions. However, this list of counterions is not limiting.

The term "one or more" means "at least one" and thus includes individual components as well as mixtures/combinations.

The term "plurality" means "more than one" or "two or more".

Other than in the operating examples, or where otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities of ingredients and/or reaction conditions are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term "about" meaning within +/-5% of the number indicated.

Some of the various component categories specified for the cleaning composition may overlap. In such cases where there may be overlap and the composition/product includes two overlapping components (or more than two overlapping components), the overlapping components do not represent more than one component. For example, fatty acids can be defined as both "fatty compounds" and "surfactants/emulsifiers". If a particular composition/product includes both a fatty compound and an emulsifier, the fatty acid alone may act as a fatty compound only or as a surfactant/emulsifier only (the fatty acid alone cannot act as both a fatty compound and a surfactant/emulsifier).

All percentages, parts and ratios herein are based on the total weight of the composition of the present invention, unless otherwise specified.

All ranges and values disclosed herein are inclusive and combinable. For example, any value or point described herein that falls within a range described herein can serve as a minimum or maximum value to derive a subrange, and so forth. Moreover, all ranges provided are intended to include each specific range within the given range and combinations of sub-ranges between the given ranges. Thus, a range of 1 to 5 specifically includes 1,2, 3, 4, and 5 as well as sub-ranges such as 2 to 5, 3 to 5, 2 to 3, 2 to 4, 1 to 4, and the like.

The term "surfactant" includes salts of surfactants, even if not explicitly specified. In other words, whenever the present disclosure refers to surfactants, it is intended to also include salts of the surfactants (where such salts are present), even though the specification may not explicitly refer to the salts (or may not refer to the salts in every instance throughout the present disclosure), for example by using expressions such as "salts thereof". Sodium and potassium are common cations that form salts with surfactants. However, other cations, such as ammonium ions or alkanolammonium ions, such as monoethanolammonium or triethanolammonium ions, may also form salts of the surfactants.

All components set forth positively in this disclosure may be excluded negatively. In other words, the cleaning compositions of the present disclosure may be free or substantially free of any one or more of the components set forth immediately above in the present disclosure.

The term "substantially free" as used herein refers to a particular material that may be present in minor amounts without materially affecting the basic and novel characteristics of the claimed invention. For example, less than 1 weight percent of a particular material may be added to the composition based on the total weight of the composition (so long as the amount of less than 1 weight percent does not materially affect the basic and novel characteristics of the claimed invention). Similarly, the composition may contain less than 0.5 wt.%, less than 0.1 wt.%, less than 0.05 wt.%, or less than 0.01 wt.% of the specified material or be completely free of the specified material. In addition, all components set forth herein may be negatively excluded from the claims, e.g., a claimed composition may be "free", "substantially free" of one or more components set forth herein.

All publications and patent applications cited in this specification are herein incorporated by reference for any and all purposes as if each individual publication or patent application were specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference. In the event of a discrepancy between the present disclosure and any publication or patent application incorporated by reference herein, the present disclosure controls.
