`PERSONAL WASHING COMPOSITIONS

`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`1. Field of the Invention
`
`This invention relates to personal washing compositions
`which contain a cationic deposition polymer to increase
`deposition of a benefit agent onto the skin or hair.
`2. The Related Art
`
`For many years it has been known that hair can be
`conditioned by incorporation of silicone in a shampoo
`composition. U.S. Pat. No. 2.826.551 (Gecn) is typical of an
`early disclosure of such 2 in 1 shampoos. Various attempts
`have been made to improve the efficiency of use of the
`expensive silicone component. This would provide better
`conditioning and the eption of reducing the level of expen—
`sive benefit agent
`in the shampoo. with consequent cost
`saving.
`
`Deposition polymers with a cationic charge have been
`proposed to enhance the amount of benefit agent deposited
`from the shampoo. For example cationic guar gum has been
`described for the enhancement of the deposition of antidan-
`druff particles in U.S. Pat. No. 5,037,818 and for the
`enhanced deposition of insoluble non-volatile silicone in
`0.5. Pat. No. 5,035,857. The use of cationic polymers in
`shower gels to enhance deposition of silicone oil
`is also
`known from ERA-457 688 (L’Oreal).
`
`Deposition polymers have also been proposed to enhance
`the deposition of sunscreen materials from a shampoo
`composititin. in EP 386 898 a cationic polygalaetomannan
`gum derivative is used.
`Polyacrylamides have been proposed for use in shampoos
`in EP 0 23] 997. These polymers are not charged and do not
`assist in the deposition of benefit agents.
`When washing with any of the prior art systems a con—
`siderable amount of the benefit agent will be rinsed away
`with the composition. and there is scope For substantially
`improving the deposition eliiciency.
`It is an object of the present invention to provide a more
`efficient deposition polymer than the previously described
`polygalactomannan polymers.
`
`SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
`
`According to the present invention there is provided a
`personal washing composition comprising: a surface active
`agent selected from anionic, nonionic, awitterionic and
`cationic surfactants, soap and mixtures thereof, water, a
`non—volatile insoluble benefit agent dispersed in the com—
`position and from 0.001 to 1% by weight of a deposition
`polymer which is a cationic oopolymer wherein the charge
`density of the copolymcr is in the range 0.0001 to 0.005
`equ, preferably 0.0008 to 0.0025 eqt'g; and the average
`molecular weight of the oopolymer is more than 2x106
`dsltons.

`Preferably the amount of deposition polymer lies in the
`range 0.05 to 0.2% by weight. Preferably the cationic
`cepolymer is a copolymer of acrylamidc and a cationic
`monomer having the formula:

`1 to 4 and X is selected from Cl, Br, I and CH3503.
`
`DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE
`INVENTION
`
`The composition is suitable for cleansing and condition-
`ing of the skin or hair. The term “conditioning" is intended
`to cover “moisturising” and “protection".
`Throughout
`this
`specification reference to average
`molecular weight (Mw) means a molecular weight calcu-
`lated as follows.
`
`The intrinsic viscosity of a polymer may be determined by
`standard capillary viseometry. The viscosity of a series of
`low polymer concentrations in a given solvent is determined
`relative to the pure solvent. The relative viscosity N is
`defined as:
`
`l
`“polymer somratunr
`
`The specific viscosity N”, is:
`
`N,-l
`
`If Nsp’ , where c is the polymer concentration. is plotted
`against c. a straight line is usually obtained. The point at
`which the straight line crosses the y intercept is the intrinsic
`viscosity (le- This is related to the coil size of the polymer.
`The intrinsic viscosity can also be related to the molecular
`weight of the polymer if the Mark-Houwink parameters are
`known. Thus,
`Nh=Kthlfl
`
`Where K and a are the Mark—Houwinlt parameters.
`These have been determined for polyacrylamide, and also
`for a number of copolymcrs of aerylamide and N.N,N
`trimethylarninoethyl chloride acrylate. These polymers are
`in accordance with those found useful in the present inven-
`tiOn. The parameters can be found in Mabire et al, Polymer
`1984 (25] 1984.
`For CPA], CPAZ and CPAS to 10 we used the MH
`parameters for 30% cationic polymer. For CPA 3 and CPA 4
`we used MI-I parameters for acrylamide homopolymer.
`Whichever is used.
`the Mw figure is approximately the
`same. Thus, if the MH parameters for acrylamide are used
`for CPA l, the Mw figure becomes 5,000,000 rather than
`8,000,000.
`There is a precedent in the scientific literature where an
`estimate of Mw has been made for cationic polyacrylamides
`by using the MH parameters for aerylamide homopolymer:
`Hubbe, M. A. Colloids and Surfaces 1987 25 p. 325.

`
`“CPA" polymers are copolymers of acrylarnide and N,N,
`N-u'imethyl aniinopmpylacrylanude. CPA l, 2, 5, T, 9 and
`10 have cationic charge densities of 0.00145 eqt'g. CPA 3 and
`CPA 4 have cationic charge densities of 0.0004 eqtg. CPA 6
`and CPA 8 have respective cationic charge densities 0.001 94
`and 0.0009 cqtg. All CPA copolymers were ex Allied col-
`loids. The Intrinsic viscosiu‘es for CPA 1, 2 and 5 to 10 is
`data from Allied Colloids. The data for CPA3 and CPA4 was
`produced by the above method and corresponds closely with
`the data supplied by Allied Colloids for these materials.
`Preferred “CPA" polymers have an intrinsic viscosity of
`at least 7.
`
`By “benefit agent" is meant a protective andlor softening
`substance that maintains softness by retarding the decrease
`in water content from the skin (stratum comeum} or hair.
`Normally the benefit agent is an oil. For skin, preferred
`benefit agents include
`a) silicone oils, gums and modifications thereof such as
`linear and cyclic pol ydimethylsiloxanes; amino, alkyl alky-
`laryl and aryl silicone oils;
`b) fats and oils including natural fats and oils such as
`jojoba and beef tallOw;
`c) waxes such as beeswax and lanolin;
`d) hydrocarbons such as petrolatum and mineral oil;
`e) higher fatty acids and higher fatty alcohols. both
`saturated and unsaturated, having a carbon chain length in
`the range C12 to C22;
`f} esters such as isopropyl myrislate and isopropyl. palmi—
`Late;
`3} essential oils such as evening primrose oil;
`it) lipids such as cholesterol, ceramides. sucrose esters and
`pseudo-ceramides as described in European Patent Specifi-
`cation No. 556 957;
`i) vitamins such as vitamin A and E, and vitamin alkyl
`esters, including those vitamin C alkyl esters;
`j) sunscreens such as oetyl methoxyl einnamatc (Parsol
`MCX) and butyl methorty bcnnoylrncthane (Parsol 1789};
`and
`k) mixtures of any of the foregoing components.
`For hair. the oil may take the form of a sunscreen. a
`styling or bodying agent or a conditioning oil. Among
`suitable sunscreens and other benefit agents there may be
`mentioned: the group of branched hydrocarbon materials of
`high molecular weight referred to elsewhere as peralkfentyl
`hydrocarbons. These may be either in an organic solvent 0r
`directly emulsified in the shampoo composition to give
`styling or bodying effects. Polyisobutene is a preferred
`
`4
`branched hydrocarbon material. Also oil soluble sunscreens -
`partitioned into emulsified oil droplets. Among the oils
`suitable for this purpose are phenyl silicones and among the
`suitable sunscreens are, benzophenone compounds, diben~
`zoyl methane derivatives and camphor derivatives. A pre-
`ferred sunscreen material is a UV absorber such as 2-ethyl
`hexyl methoxy cinnamate sold under the trade name Parsol
`MCX by Givaudan.
`Silicone oil is a preferred conditioning oil for skin or hair.
`The silicone may be in the form of a low viscosity oil which
`may contain a high viscoaily oil or gum in solution. Alter-
`natively the high viscosity material may be in the form of an
`emulsion in water. The emulsion may be of high viscosity oil
`or of a solution of gum in a lower viscosity oil. The particle
`size of the oil phase may be anywhere in the range from 30
`nanometres to up to 20 microns average size.
`When the oil is a silicone it may be a polydimethylsilox—
`ane with an average particle size of less than 20 microns and
`preferably less than 2 microns. Small particle size enables a
`more uniform distribution of silicone conditioning agent for
`the same concentration of silicone in the eomposiLion.
`Advantageously a silicone with a viscosity in the range 1—20
`million cst is used. The silicone can be cross-linked.
`The personal washing composition may further comprise
`from 0.1 to 5% of a suspending agent selected from poly-
`acrylic acids, cross linked polymers of acrylic acid, copoly~
`mers of acrylic acid with a hydrophobic monomer. copoly-
`mers of carboxylie acid containing monomers and acrylic
`esters. cross-linked copolymcrs of acrylic acid and acrylatc
`esters. heteropolysaccharide gums and crystalline long chain
`acyl derivatives. The long chain acyl derivative is desirably
`selected from ethylene glycol srearates, alkanolarnides of
`fatty acids having from 16 to 22 carbon atoms and mixtures
`thereof. Ethylene glycol distearate and Polyethylene glycol
`3 distearate are preferred long chain acyl derivatives. Poly-
`acrylic acid is available commercially as Carbopol 420,
`Carbopo] 488 or Carbopol 493. Polymers of acrylic acid
`cross-linked with a polyfunctional agent may also be used,
`they are availabie commercially as Carbopol 910. Carbopol
`934. Carbopol 940, Carbopol 941 and Carbopol 980. An
`example of a suitable cepolymer of a carboxylic acid
`containing a monomer and acrylic acid esters is Carbopol
`1342. All Carbopol materials are available from Goodrich
`and CarbOpol
`is a trade mark. The srrSpending agent is
`particularly preferred when silicone is present.
`Suitable cross linked polymers of acrylic acid and acrylatc
`esters are Pemulcn TRl or Pemulcn T112. A suitable het-
`cropolysaecharide gum is xanthan gum, for example that
`available as Kelzan mu.
`In skin washing compositions of the invention. the surface
`active agent can be selected from any known surfactant
`suitable for topical application to the human body. Mild
`surfactants, ie. surfactants which do not damage the stratum
`corneum. the outer layer of skin, are particularly preferred.

`[A] Skin Washing Compositions
`
`EXAMPLES
`
`In the examples:
`Coco amidopropyl betaine was Tergobetaine F ex Gold—
`schmidt or Amonyl BA 380 ex Seppic.
`Guar hydroxypropyl Lrimonium chloride was Jaguar C-l3-S
`ex Meyhall.
`Silicone oil emulsion was BC 891038 ex Basildon.
`Sodium cocoyl isethionate was either Jordapon CI ex PPGI
`Mazer or Hostapan SCI ex Hocchst.
`Sodium lauryl ether sulphate was Genapol 2R0 ex Hoechst.
`Compositions according to the invention and comparative
`compositions were tested by the following method.
`A number of tests were carried out by human volunteers.
`The experimental procedure employed was as follows:
`The volunteers washed their forearms with a shower gel.
`The procedure involved wetting the arm and also the vol-
`unteer‘s free hand with warm water then using the free hand
`to lather the arm with 0.5 grams of the shewer gel, next
`rinsing for 10 seconds while rubbin g with the free hand and
`then drying the arm with a single pass with a paper towel.
`10 minutes after drying the forearm a strip of adhesive
`tape is pressed onto the areas on the forearms keeping it in
`place for 30 seconds using a spring loaded device bearing on
`a rubber bung to press the tape onto the skin with a
`repeatable pressure of 85 gem“? The adhesive tape
`employed was J-Lar Superclcar {TM} tape having a width of
`25 mm. Two strips of tape are applied to each forearm in this
`way to adjacent areas of the skin.
`In this test procedure silicone which has deposited on the
`skin is transferred to the tape along with some of the actor
`layer of the volunteer‘s skin.
`The amounts of silicon and skin adhering to the tape are
`detem-tined by means of X-ray fluorescence SpectrortcOpy.
`The tape strips are placed in an X—ray fluorescence spcc~
`trometcr with the adhesive side facing the beam of this
`machine. A mask is applied over the tape to define a
`standardised area in the middle of the tape which is exposed

`to the X—ray beam. The sample chamber of the machine is
`placed under vacuum before making measurements and the
`spectrometer is then used to measure the quantities of silicon
`and sulphur. The sulphur is representative of the amount of
`skin which has transferred to the tape. Results are presented
`in terms of the ratio of Si:S.
`
`EXAMPLE 1
`
`In this example deposition of silicone from compositions
`containing a range of polymers according to the invention
`was compared with deposition from a composition contain»
`ing a polymer which is a commercially available shower gel,
`namely, guar hydroxypropyl Lrimonium chloride (compari-
`son).
`The base formulation was:
`
`Sodium lauryl ether sulphate (SLES)

`
`Each composition was prepared by forming a 1% disper-
`sion of the polymer by adding it to water at -50° C. SLES
`and CAPE were added to the excess water of the formulation
`with gentle stirring. Thereafter the silicone oil emulsion was
`added with stirring to the surfactant mixture. This was
`followed by the polymer dispersion and finally the minors.
`Deposition of silicone was determined according to the
`procedure described above. The Si:S ratio for the compari—
`son was normalised to l and the values for the compositions
`according to the invention expressed relative to the com-
`parison.

`[B] Shampoo Compositions
`Test of Conventional Cationic Polymers
`Many of the commercially available cationic polymers
`designed for use in cosmetics show no ability to deposit
`silicone on to hair during the course of the hair washing!
`rinsing cycle. Table 1 details the performance of a range of
`cationic polymers promoted by their manufacturers as suit—
`able for use in shampoo applications. The polymers were
`tested as silicone deposilion and retention aids in one of the
`shampoo formulations (A.B,C or D) given below in Table 3.

`
`from hair -
`retention figures were obtained direct
`All
`switches washed twice for 305, and rinsed twice for 303, in
`running tap water. Shampoo application was at the level of
`0.12 gig hair. Silicone levels were determined from X-Ray
`Fluorescence count rates by comparison with known stan-
`dards.
`Silicone retention efiiciency from formulations cantaining
`these low Mw polymers does not exceed 25%.
`
`EXAMPLES 3-8 HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT
`CATIONIC POLYACRYLAMIDES
`
`Using high molecular weight polyacrylamides (Mw>3,
`000,000) gives previously unattainable levels of silicone
`retention, typically far in excess of 50% efficiency. The
`results are shown in Table 2.
