Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a hair conditioning composition containing a silicone emulsion.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Human hair becomes soiled by contact with the surrounding environment and sebum secreted from the scalp. Stain on the hair results in a dirty feel and an unattractive appearance. Hair stains cause the need for frequent and regular shampooing.

Shampoo cleanses the hair by removing excess dirt and sebum. However, shampoo moistened the hair,
Entangled, and generally remain unwieldy. Once the hair has dried, it often remains dry, rough, dull, or curly because the natural oils and other natural conditioning and moisturizing ingredients of the hair are removed. The hair further resists combing by drying and results in a condition generally referred to as "loose hair" or undesirable "split", especially on long hair Can remain at an increased level of static charge.

Various solutions have been developed to alleviate these post-shampooing problems. These solutions range from the post-shampoo application of hair conditioners, such as residual or rinse-off products, to conditioning shampoos that attempt both washing and conditioning with a single product. Although some consumers prefer the simplicity and convenience of shampoos including conditioners, most consumers usually follow shampoos,
Prefers traditional hair conditioner formulations over shampoos applied to the hair in a separate process. The formulation of the conditioning agent can take the form of a rinse-off or residual product, and can take the form of emulsions, creams, gels, sprays and mousses.
Such consumers who prefer conventional conditioner formulations appreciate the relatively high conditioning effectiveness or the convenience of varying the amount of conditioning depending on the condition or part of the hair.

Common methods for providing conditioning benefits to hair include cationic surfactants and polymers, silicone conditioning agents, and solid aliphatics such as hydrocarbons and other organic oils and fatty alcohols. By use of a hair conditioning agent such as a compound. Like fats and oils and fatty compounds, cationic surfactants and polymers are known to increase hair shine and give the hair control of moisture, softness, and static electricity, but are also hard or oily. It is also known to give a lot or a waxy feel.

Silicone polymers with high molecular weights are known to provide favorable conditioning effects such as smoothness and combability. However, these high molecular weight silicone polymers have large particle sizes and tend to be thermodynamically unstable. It is known that mechanical shear gives a liquid of smaller particle size. High molecular weight silicone polymers are too viscous to emulsify to the desired particle size. Thus, high molecular weight silicone polymers could not be formulated to levels that provided the desired conditioning effect.

A suitable method for obtaining stable and high molecular weight silicone polymers is provided by emulsion polymerization of silicone oligomers.

Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-163122 discloses a hair cosmetic comprising a dimethylpolysiloxane microemulsion obtained by emulsion polymerization, a dimethylpolysiloxane polyoxyalkylene copolymer, and water. US Patent 5,
No. 504,149 is a high viscosity silicone emulsion in which a mixture of water, a cyclic siloxane, an optional nonionic surfactant, and a cationic surfactant is polymerized using a silanolate or an organic silanolate as an initiator. Are disclosed. WO 95/24180 discloses a rinse-off hair conditioning composition comprising a cationic surfactant and an emulsion polymerized dimethiconol nonionic conditioning polymer.

In general, high molecular weight polymers rely on the use of anionic surfactants to act as catalysts for rapid reactions to polymerize silicone oligomers. However, the resulting emulsion containing the high molecular weight silicone polymer is rich in anionic surfactants. This limits the use of the resulting emulsions with cationic conditioning agents, especially cationic surfactants. Without being bound by theory, when a cationic surfactant is added directly to an anion-rich environment, anionic surfactants of the opposite valency contained in the emulsion destroy the emulsion. And / or reacts to produce an undesirable precipitate. This creates significant formulation difficulties for high molecular weight silicone polymers in conditioning compositions containing certain levels of cationic surfactants. Certain levels of cationic surfactants are known to provide excellent static control to conditioning agent formulations.

Therefore, there remains a need to provide improved conditioning benefits and to provide conditioning compositions that are stable even in the presence of a wide variety of conditioning agents.

A hair conditioning composition comprising a silicone emulsion comprising a high molecular weight silicone polymer made via a surfactant system in the present invention has been developed, which comprises a wet, soft, smooth flow, firmness It provides improved conditioning benefits such as reduced static and static control and can be used with a wide range of conditioning agents.

Include groups such as hydroxyl and the like. The molar ratios of the various units can be determined by subscripting the symbol to indicate the total number or average of units of each type in the silicone, or as a ratio specifically indicated in combination with the molecular weight. Complete the description of silicone materials under D, D 'in silicone resin,
Higher molar ratios of T, Q, T 'and / or Q' to M and / or M 'indicate higher levels of cross-linking. As mentioned earlier, however, the overall level of cross-linking can also be indicated by the ratio of oxygen to silicon.
