`CONDITIONING SHAMPOO COMPRISING A
`SURFACTANT, A NON-VOLATILE SILICONE OIL
`AND GUAR HYDROXYPROPYLTRIMONIUM
`CHLORIDE AS A CATIONIC CONDITIONING
`POLYMER
`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`The present invention relates to shampoo composi—
`tions, and more particularly to shampoo compositions
`containing non-volatile silicone materials which condi-
`tion the hair leaving it softer and more manageable.
`When washing the hair with conventional shampoo
`compositions,
`the natural oils are removed together
`with the dirt and unwanted oils. When too much of the
`natural oil is removed, for example by especially fre-
`quent washing, the hair becomes less easy to comb or
`style, and subject to static build-up causing “flyaway”.
`Hair conditioners have been developed to try to re-
`store the condition of the hair. These compositions are
`normally applied to hair after shampooing, left on the
`hair for a period of time and rinsed off. This process is
`time consuming and expensive since two separate prod
`ucts are needed.

`
`Conditioning shampoos containing cationic condi-
`tioning agents have been disclosed for example in EP 18
`717 (Unilever). These cationic agents confer some con-
`ditioning benefit on the hair, but are often thought to
`leave a residue on the hair, which may cause dulling on
`hair after drying.
`Non-volatile silicone oils are useful as conditioning
`agents, but again excessive amounts of silicone can dull
`the hair, and build-up of silicone on the hair can give a
`f35
`greasy appearance. Furthermore, the incorporation o
`silicone oil generally gives an antifoam effect.
`Hair conditioning emulsions are disclosed in EP 35
`899 (Proctor & Gamble). These emulsions comprise
`volatile silicone or volatile hydrocarbon, and the parti-
`cle size of the volatile material in the final composition
`is said to be from 1 to 10 um.
`However, such compositions are not suitable for use
`as shampoos, and the hair should first be washed before
`applying the conditioner emulsion.
`Non-volatile silicone oil has been incorporated di—
`rectly into shampoo compositions, as disclosed in EP 74
`264 (Unilever), however the silicone oil is incorporated
`directly into the compositions, giving a particle size
`larger than 2 pm, and an antifoam effect can be seen.
`We have found that the combination of an aqueous
`emulsion of a silicone oil with a particular type of cati-
`onic conditioning polymer in a surfactant—based sham-
`poo composition will
`impart
`improved conditioning
`benefit to the hair with none of the undesirable dulling
`effects or greasy build-up seen with other conditioning
`products, and without the need for a two-step washing
`and conditioning procedure.
`Incorporating the silicone oil as a preformed aqueous
`emulsion has the consequences that the silicone is incor-
`porated with a small particle size, less than 2 pm. The
`silicone is insoluble and remains emulsified in the over-
`
`45
`
`50
`
`55
`
`all composition. Incorporating the silicone oil in this
`way makes the manufacture of the compositions easier.
`It also reduces the antifoam action of the silicone oil and
`leads to compositions of greater stability.
`Accordingly,
`the invention provides an aqueous
`shampoo composition comprising, in addition to water
`
`65
`

`
`5,085,857
`
`2
`(a) from 2 to 40% by weight of surfactant chosen from
`anionic, nonionic or amphoteric surfactants or mix-
`tures thereof;
`(b) from 0.01 to 3% by weight of cationic conditioning
`polymer which is a cationic derivative of guar gum;
`(c) from 0.01 to 10% by weight of an insoluble, non-
`volatile silicone, present as emulsified particles with
`an average particle size of less than 2 um.
`In another aspect, this invention provides a method of
`making such a shampoo composition, by mixing to-
`gether water, the surfactant, the cationic conditioning
`polymer and an aqueous emulsion of the silicone,
`wherein the silicone in the emulsion has an average
`particle size of less than 2 pm.
`DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE
`INVENTION
`
`(a) Surfactant
`
`The composition according to the invention com-
`prises a surfactant chosen from anionic, nonionic or
`amphoteric surfactant or mixtures thereof.
`Suitable anionic surfactants are the alkyl sulphates,
`alkyl ether sulphates, alkaryl sulphonates, alkyl succi-
`nates, alkyl sulphosuccinates, N-alkoyl sarcosinates,
`alkyl phosphates, alkyl ether phosphates, alkyl ether
`carboxylates, and alpha~olef1n sulphonates, especially
`their sodium, magnesium, ammonium and mono-, di-
`and triethanolamine salts. The alkyl groups generally
`containing from 8 to 18 carbon atoms and may be unsat-
`urated. The alkyl ether sulphates, alkyl ether phos-
`phates and alkyl ether carboxylates may contain from
`one to 10 ethylene oxide or propylene oxide units per
`molecule, and preferably contain 2 to 3 ethylene oxide
`units per molecule.
`Examples of suitable anionic surfactants include so-
`dium oleyl succinate, ammonium lauryl sulphosuccin-
`ate, ammonium lauryl sulphate, sodium dodecylbenzene
`sulphonate,
`triethanolamine dodecylbenzene sulpho—
`nate and sodium N-lauryl sarcosinate. The most pre-
`ferred anionic surfactant are sodium lauryl sulphate,
`triethanolamine lauryl sulphate, triethanolamine mono-
`lauryl phosphate, sodium lauryl ether sulphate 1E0,
`2E0 and 3E0, ammonium lauryl sulphate and ammo-
`nium lauryl ether sulphate 1E0, 2E0 and SEC.
`The nonionic surfactants suitable for use in the com-
`position of the invention may include condensation
`products of aliphatic (Cs—Cm) primary or secondary
`linear or branched chain alcohols or phenols with alkyl-
`ene oxides, usually ethylene oxide and generally 6—30
`E0.
`
`Other suitable nonionics include mono or di alkyl
`alkanolamides or alkyl polyglucosides. Examples in-
`clude coco mono or diethanolamide, coco mono iso-
`propanolamide, and coco di glucoside.
`The amphoteric surfactants suitable for use in the
`composition of the invention may include alkyl amine
`oxides, alkyl betaines, alkyl amidopropyl betaines, alkyl
`sulphobetaines, alkyl glycinates, alkyl carboxyglyci-
`nates, alkyl amphopropionates, alkyl amidopropyl hy-
`droxysultaines, acyl
`taurates and acyl glutamates
`wherein the alkyl and acyl groups have from 8 to 18
`carbon atoms. Examples include lauryl amine oxide,
`cocodimethyl sulphopropyl betaine and preferably lau-
`ryl betaine, cocamidopropyl betaine and sodium cocam-
`phopropionate.

`The surfactants are present in the shampoo composi-
`tion of the invention in an amount of from 2 to 40% by
`weight, and preferably from 5 to 30% by weight.
`
`(b) Cationic conditioning polymer
`
`The composition of the invention comprises a cati-
`onic conditioning polymer which is a cationic deriva-
`tive of a guar gum.
`Suitable cationic guar gum derivatives are those
`given the CTFA designation guar hydroxypropyl
`trimonium chloride, available commercially for exam-
`ple as JAGUAR C135, which has a low degree of sub-
`stitution of the cationic groups and a high viscosity. The
`low degree of cationic substitution leads to a cationic
`charge density of 0.0008. Other suitable materials in-
`clude that known as JAGUAR C15, having a moderate
`degree of substitution and a low viscosity, JAGUAR
`C17 (high degree of substitution, hence cationic charge
`density of 0.0016, high viscosity) and JAGUAR C16
`which is a hydroxypropylated cationic guar derivative
`containing a low level of substituent groups as well as
`cationic quaternary ammonium groups. JAGUAR C16
`has a cationic charge density of 0.0008. Also suitable is
`JAGUAR 162 which is a high transparency, medium
`viscosity guar having a low degree of substitution.
`The compositions of the invention contain from 0.01
`to 3% by weight of cationic conditioning polymer,
`preferably from 0.1 to 2% by weight.
`
`(c) Silicone
`The shampoo composition of the invention also com-
`prises an insoluble, non-volatile silicone, which may be
`one or more polyalkyl siloxanes, one or more polyalk-
`ylaryl siloxanes, or mixtures thereof. The silicone is
`insoluble in the aqueous matrix of the composition and
`so is present in an emulsified form, with the silicone
`present as dispersed particles.
`Suitable polyalkyl siloxanes include polydimethyl
`siloxanes which have the CTFA designation dimethi-
`cone, having a viscosity of from 5 to 100,000 centistokes
`at 25° C. These siloxanes are available commercially
`from the General Electric Company as the Viscasil
`series and from Dow Corning as the DC 200 series. The
`viscosity can be measured by means of a glass capillary
`viscometer as set out further in Dow Corning Corpo-
`rate Test Method CTM004 July 20, 1970.
`Also suitable is polydiethyl siloxane.
`The polyalkylaryl siloxanes which may be used in the
`compositions of the invention include polymethylphe-
`nyl polysiloxanes having a viscosity ,of from 15 to 65
`centistokes at 25° C. These siloxanes are available com-
`mercially from the General Electric Company as SF
`1075 methyl phenyl fluid or from Dow Corning as 556
`Cosmetic Grade Fluid.
`Also suitable are silicone gums, such as those de-
`scribed in US. Pat. No. 4,152,416 (Spitzer), and on
`General Electric Silicone Rubber product Data Sheet
`SE 30, SE 33, SE 54 and SE 76. “Silicone gum” denotes
`polydiorganosiloxanes having a molecular weight of
`from 200,000 to 1,000,000, and specific examples in-
`clude polydimethyl siloxane polymer, polydimethyl
`siloxane/diphenyl/methy]vinylsiloxane
`copolymer,
`polydimethylsiloxane/methylvinylsiloxane copolymer
`and mixtures thereof.
`Aminofunctional silicones which have the CTFA
`designation amodimethicone, such as Union Carbide
`TP 407 are also suitable for use in the compositions of
`the invention.

`The silicone materials described above are preferably
`incorporated in the shampoo composition of the inven-
`tion as a pre-formed aqueous emulsion. The average
`particle size of the silicone material in this emulsion and
`in the shampoo composition is less than 2 pm, prefera-
`bly from 0.01 to 1 pm. Particle size may be measured by
`means of a laser light scattering technique, using a
`2600D Particle Sizer from Malvern Instruments.
`The emulsion may be prepared by high shear me-
`chanical mixing of the silicone and water, or by emulsi-
`fying the insoluble, non-volatile silicone with water and
`an emulsifier—mixing the silicone into a heated solution
`of the emulsifier for instance, or by a combination of
`mechanical and chemical emulsification.
`
`Any surfactant materials either alone or in admixture
`may be used as emulsifiers in the preparation of the
`silicone emulsions. Preferred emulsifiers include anionic
`
`emulsifiers such as alkylarylsulphonates, e. g. sodium
`dodecylbenzene sulphonate, alkyl sulphates e.g. so-
`dium, lauryl sulphate, alkyl ether sulphates e.g. sodium
`lauryl ether sulphate nEO, where n is from 1 to 20
`alkylphenol ether sulphates e.g. octylphenol ether sul~
`phate nEO where n is from 1 to 20, and sulphocucci—
`nates e. g. sodium dioctylsulphosuccinate.
`Also suitable are nonionic emulsifiers such as alkyl-
`phenol ethoxylates e.g. nonylphenol ethoxylate nEO,
`where n is from 1 to 50, alcohol ethoxylates e.g. lauryl
`alcohol nEO, where n is from 1 to 50, ester ethoxylates
`e.g. polyoxyethylene monostearate where the number
`of oxyethylene units is from 1 to 30.
`Typically, a pre—formed emulsion will contain around
`50% of silicone. Pre-formed emulsions are available
`from suppliers of silicone oils such as Dow Corning,
`General Electric, Union Carbide, Wacker Chemie, Shin
`Etsu, Toshiba, Toyo Beauty Co. and Toray Silicone
`Co.
`
`The compositions of the invention contain from 0.01
`to 10% by weight, preferably from 0.1 to 5% by weight,
`of insoluble, non-volatile silicone. If less than 0.01% by
`weight is present in the composition, little conditioning
`benefit is observed, and if more than 10% by weight is
`present, the hair will appear greasy.
`The aqueous pre—formed emulsion may be incorpo-
`rated into the shampoo composition in an amount of
`from 0.02 to 50% by weight, preferably from 0.2 to 20%
`by weight.
`The exact quantity of emulsion will of course depend
`on the concentration of the emulsion, and should be
`selected to give the desired quantity of insoluble, non-
`volatile silicone, in the final composition.
`To enhance stability, compositions of this invention
`preferably contain either a shear thinning polymer, such
`as a cross linked polyacrylate, or an insoluble solid
`which forms a network within the composition. Ethyl-
`ene glycol distearate is such a solid: it also acts as a
`pearlescent agent.
`
`USE OF THE COMPOSITION
`
`The shampoo composition of the invention may be
`applied in an amount of from 3 to 5 ml to wet hair. The
`wet hair is worked to create a lather. The lather may be
`retained on the head for a short time before rinsing e.g.
`from 1 to 4 minutes, or may immediately be rinsed. The
`washing procedure may be repeated if required.
`The hair is generally found to be clean, manageable
`and easy to be combed and styled, without the need for
`a further conditioning step.

`Testing of the shampoo compositions was carried out
`using six 8 gram (20 cm) hair switches. Each is sham-
`pooed twice using 0.5 gram of shampoo each time, for
`a 30-second wash time, then rinsed and dried. A test
`shampoo was used for three switches and a control
`shampoo (without silicone or cationic polymer) was
`used for three switches.
`
`Twelve panelists were then asked to assess the ease of
`combing of the dried switches, comparing test switches
`with control switches in a paired comparison test.
`The following table sets out details of the silicone
`emulsions and cationic polymers used, and the test re—

`
`Silicone oil
`
`The ethylene glycol distearate was incorporated as a
`preformed paste which also contained the alkanolamide
`and some of the lauryl ether sulphate.
`One composition contained no silicone.
`Another composition contained 2% of the silicone
`emulsion used in Example 1, having an average silicone
`particle size of 0.4 pm. The third composition contained
`2% of silicone emulsion prepared with the same silicone
`oil, but with an average particle size of 4 mm. This
`emulsion was prepared by emulsifying silicone oil
`in
`glycerol in the presence of sodium lauryl ether sulphate
`2E0 to give a preformed emulsion containing 50%
`silicone oil, 2% surfactant and balance glycerol. (Glyc-
`erol was added separately to the other two composi—
`tions).
`The ability of the compositions to generate foam in
`use was tested using 8 gm (20 cm) hair switches impreg-
`nated with 0.08 gm of artificial sebum.
`The switch was placed in a plastic bag, 8 ml of water
`at 40° C. was added, followed by 0.8 ml of the composi-
`tion. The bag is held closed while the switch is mas-
`saged in the solution for 30 seconds. Then the switch
`was removed, squeezing it to retain all the foam in the
`bag. The foam was then transferred to a measuring
`cylinder to determine its volume.
`The results obtained were:
`

`
`The silicone was added as emulsions which contained
`60,000 08 silicone oil. For one composition, 2% of the
`same emulsion as in Example 1 with an average particle
`size of 0.4 mm was used. For the other composition the
`average particle size of the silicone was 3.0 mm. This
`emulsion was prepared using the procedure mentioned
`in the previous example.
`The ethylene glycol distearate was added as a pre-
`formed paste which also included the monoethanolam-
`ide, and part of the betaine and part of the ether sule
`phate.

`Samples of the compositions were stored at 28° C.,
`37° C. and 50° C.
`
`At 28° C. the sample with larger silicone particles had
`separated into two phases after 6 months. The sample
`with the smaller silicone particles did not. The composi-
`tion containing larger silicone particles also separated
`into two layers after 2 months at 37° C. or two weeks at
`50° C., whereas the composition with smaller particle
`size silicone did not do so.
