`
`CONDITIONING SHAMPOO COMPOSITIONS HAVING IMPROVED STABILITY
`
`FIELD OF THE INVENTION
`
`The present invention relates to conditioning shampoo compositions having improved
`
`stability. These compositions are useful for both cleansing and conditioning the hair. These
`
`compositions comprise a detersive anionic surfactant, other than anionic amino acid derivative
`
`surfactants; a stabilizing surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic amino acid
`
`15
`
`derivative surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, cationic surfactants, and mixtures thereof; a fatty
`
`compound selected from the group consisting of fatty alcohols, fatty acids, fatty alcohol derivatives,
`
`fatty acid derivatives, and mixtures thereof; a hair conditioning agent selected from the group
`
`consisting of nonvolatile dispersed silicone conditioning agents, hydrocarbon conditioning agents,
`
`water soluble cationic polymeric conditioning agents, and mixtures thereof; and water. The present
`
`20
`
`invention also relates to methods for cleansing and conditioning the hair.
`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`Human hair becomes soiled due to its contact with the surrounding environment and from
`
`the sebum secreted by the scalp. The soiling of hair causes it to have a dirty feel and an unattractive
`
`appearance. The soiling of the hair necessitates shampooing with frequent regularity.
`
`25
`
`Shampooing cleans the hair by removing excess soil and sebum. However, shampooing can
`
`leave the hair in a wet, tangled, and generally unmanageable state. Once the hair dries, it is often left
`
`in a dry, rough, lusterless, or frizzy condition due to removal of the hair's natural oils and other
`
`natural conditioning and moisturizing components. The hair can further be left with increased levels
`
`of static upon drying, which can interfere with combing and results in a condition commonly referred
`
`30
`
`to as "fly-away hair."
`
`A variety of approaches have been developed to alleviate these after-shampoo problems.
`
`These approaches range from post-shampoo application of hair conditioners such as leave-in and
`
`rinse-off products, to hair conditioning shampoos which attempt to both cleanse and condition the
`
`hair from a single product. Hair conditioners are typically applied in a separate step following
`
`35
`
`shampooing. The hair conditioners are either rinsed-off or left-in, depending upon the type of
`
`product used. Hair conditioners, however, have the disadvantage of requiring a separate and
`
`3
`
`

`
`wo 97/14406
`
`PCT IUS96/16536
`
`2
`
`inconvenient treatment step. Conditioning shampoos. i.e. shampoos which both cleanse and
`
`condition the hair, are highly desirable products because they are convenient for consumers to use.
`
`In order to provide hair conditioning benefits in a cleansing shampoo base. a wide variety of
`
`conditioning actives have been proposed. However, many of these actives have the disadvantage of
`
`5
`
`leaving the hair feeling soiled or coated, of interfering with the cleansing efficacy of the shampoo, or
`
`of yielding a resultant shampoo with poor shelf stability.
`
`It has surprisingly been found
`
`in the present invention that highly stable shampoo
`
`compositions can be achieved utilizing a stabilizing surfactant system comprising a surfactant
`
`selected from the group consisting of anionic amino acid derivative surfactants, amphoteric
`
`10
`
`surfactants. cationic surfactants, and mixtures thereof. This stabilizing surfactant system is used in
`
`the present invention in combination with a detersive anionic surfactant, certain fatty compounds,
`
`and certain hair conditioning agents, to provide compositions having improved wet hair conditioning
`
`benefits such as smoothness and ease of combing compared to conventional conditioning shampoos.
`
`These compositions also provide improved dry hair conditioning benefits such as leaving the hair
`
`15
`
`feeling soft, smooth, and moistened. These dry hair benefits can also provide hair that looks shiny.
`
`It
`
`is therefore an object of the present invention to provide conditioning shampoo
`
`compositions, i.e. compositions which both cleanse and condition the hair from a single product.
`
`It is another object of the present invention to provide compositions which are stable.
`
`It is another object of the present invention to provide compositions which do not leave the
`
`20
`
`hair feeling coated, heavy, or soiled.
`
`It is another object of the present invention to provide compositions which provide
`
`improved wet hair conditioning benefits such as smoothness and ease of combing.
`
`It is another object of the present invention to provide compositions which provide
`
`improved dry hair conditioning benefits such as leaving the hair feeling soft, smooth, moist and
`
`25
`
`looking shiny.
`
`It is another object of the present invention to provide methods for cleansing and
`
`conditioning the hair utilizing a single composition.
`
`These and other objects will become readily apparent from the detailed description which
`
`follows.

`
`from about 20% to about 94.89% by weight water.
`
`The present invention also relates to methods for cleansing and conditioning the hair
`
`10
`
`utilizing these compositions.
`
`Unless otherwise indicated, all percentages and ratios used herein are by weight and based
`
`upon the total composition, and all measurements are made at 25°C or room temperature.
`
`The invention hereof can comprise, consist of. or consist essentially of the essential
`
`elements and limitations of the invention described herein, as well any of the additional ingredients.
`
`components, or limitations described herein. All documents referred to herein are incorporated by
`
`reference herein in their entirety.
`
`DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
`
`The compositions of the present invention comprise the following essential as well as
`
`optional components.
`
`The compositions of the present invention are highly stable compositions. Stability is
`
`defined herein to include both physical and chemical stability as such phenomena can be related and
`
`15
`
`20
`
`overlapping.
`
`Detersive Anionic Surfactant
`
`The compositions of the present invention comprise a detersive anionic surfactant, which is
`
`25
`
`selected from anionic surfactants other than anionic amino acid derivative surfactants, as defmed
`
`herein, below. Without being limited by theory, the purpose of the detersive anionic surfactant is to
`
`provide cleansing performance to the composition. The term detersive surfactant, as used herein, is
`
`intended to distinguish these surfactants from surfactants which are primarily emulsifying
`
`surfactants, i.e. surfactants which provide an emulsifying benefit and which have low cleansing
`
`30
`
`performance. It is recognized that most surfactants have both detersive and emulsifying properties.
`
`It is not intended to exclude anionic emulsifying surfactants from the present invention. provided the
`
`surfactant also possesses sufficient detersive properties to be useful herein.
`
`The detersive anionic surfactant will generally comprise from about 5% to about 50%,
`
`preferably from about 8% to about 30%, and more preferably from about 8% to about 25%, by
`
`35
`
`weight of the composition.
`
`Detersive anionic surfactants useful herein include alkyl and alkyl ether sulfates. These
`
`materials have the respective formulae ROS0
`
`M and RO(C
`
`3
`
`H
`4
`
`2
`
`0\S0
`
`3
`
`M, wherein R is alkyl or
`
`5
`
`

`
`W097/14406
`
`PCT IUS96/16536
`
`4
`
`alkenyl of from about 8 to about 30 carbon atoms. x is l to about I 0, and M is hydrogen or a cation
`
`such as ammonium. alkanolammonium (e.g., triethanolammonium). a monovalent metal cation (e.g.,
`
`sodium and potassium), or a polyvalent metal cation (e.g., magnesium and calcium). Preferably, M
`
`should be chosen such that the anionic surfactant component is water soluble. The anionic surfactant
`
`5
`
`or surfactants should be chosen such that the Krafft temperature is about I5°C or less, preferably
`
`about I 0°C or less, and more preferably about ooc or less.
`
`It is also preferred that the anionic
`
`surfactant be soluble in the composition hereof.
`
`Krafft temperature refers to the point at which solubility of an ionic surfactant becomes
`
`determined by crystal Janice energy and heat of hydration, and corresponds to a point at which
`
`I 0
`
`solubility undergoes a sharp, discontinuous increase with increasing temperature. Each type of
`
`surfactant will have its own characteristic Krafft temperature. Krafft temperature for ionic
`
`surfactants is, in general, well known and understood in the art. See, for example, Myers, Drew,
`
`Surfactant Science and Technology. pp. 82-85, VCH Publishers. Inc. (New York, New York. USA),
`
`1988 (ISBN 0-89573-399-0), which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
`
`15
`
`In the alkyl and alkyl ether sulfates described above, preferably R has from about 12 to
`
`about 18 carbon atoms in both the alkyl and alkyl ether sulfates. The alkyl ether sulfates are
`
`typically made as condensation products of ethylene oxide and monohydric alcohols having from
`
`about 8 to about 24 carbon atoms. The alcohols can be derived from fats, e.g., coconut oil, palm oil,
`
`tallow, or the like, or the alcohols can be synthetic. Laury! alcohol and straight chain alcohols
`
`20
`
`derived from coconut oil and palm oil are preferred herein. Such alcohols are reacted with I to about
`
`I 0, and especially about 3, molar proportions of ethylene oxide and the resulting mixture of
`
`molecular species having, for example, an average of 3 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of alcohol,
`
`is sulfated and neutralized.
`
`Specific examples of alkyl ether sulfates which can be used in the present inventidn are
`
`sodium and ammonium salts of coconut alkyl triethylene glycol ether sulfate; tallow alkyl triethylene
`
`glycol ether sulfate, and tallow alkyl hexaoxyethylene sulfate. Highly preferred alkyl ether sulfates
`
`are those comprising a mixture of individual compounds, said mixture having an average alkyl chain
`
`length of from about 12 to about 16 carbon atoms and an average degree of ethoxy lation of from I to
`
`about 4 moles of ethylene oxide. Such a mixture also comprises from 0% to about 20% by weight
`
`25
`
`30
`
`35
`
`c
`
`_
`12
`13
`to about 20% by weight of c
`
`compounds; from about 60% to about 100% by weight ofc
`
`_
`_
`14
`16
`15
`compounds; from about 3% to about 30% by weight of
`
`compounds, from 0%
`
`_
`_
`17
`19
`18
`compounds having a degree of ethoxylation of 0; from about 45% to about 90% by weight of
`
`compounds having a degree of ethoxylation of from I to about 4; from about I 0% to about 25% by
`
`weight of compounds having a degree of ethoxylation of from about 4 to about 8; and from about
`
`0.1% to about 15% by weight of compounds having a degree of ethoxylation greater than about 8.
`
`Other suitable anionic surfactants are the water-soluble salts of organic, sulfuric acid
`
`reaction products of the general formula [R 1-S03-M] where R 1 is selected from the group consisting
`
`6
`
`

`
`wo 97/14406
`
`PCT/US96/J 6536
`
`5
`
`of a straight or branched chain, saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon radical having from about 8 to about
`
`24, preferably about I 0 to about 18, carbon atoms; and M is as previously described above in this
`
`section. Examples of such surfactants are the salts of an organic sulfuric acid reaction product of a
`
`5
`
`hydrocarbon of the methane series, including iso-, neo-, and n-paraffins. having about 8 to about 24
`carbon atoms. preferably about 12 to about 18 carbon atoms and a sulfonating agent, e.g .. so3,
`H2S04. obtained according to known sulfonation methods, including bleaching and hydrolysis.
`
`Preferred are alkali metal and ammonium sulfonated C 10-18 n-paraffins.
`
`Still other suitable anionic surfactants are the reaction products of fatty acids esterified with
`
`isethionic acid and neutralized with sodium hydroxide where, for example, the fatty acids are derived
`
`10
`
`from coconut or palm oil; or sodium or potassium salts of fatty acid am ides of methyl tauride in
`
`which the fatty acids, for example, are derived from coconut oil. Other similar anionic surfactants
`
`are described in U.S. Patents 2,486,921. 2.486.922, and 2.396,278, which are incoproated by
`
`reference herein in their entirety.
`
`Still other useful surfactants are those that are derived from taurine, which is also known as
`
`15
`
`2-aminoethanesulfonic acid. An example of such an acid is N-acyi-N-methyl taurate.
`
`Other anionic surfactants suitable for use in the shampoo compositions are the succinates.
`
`examples of which include disodium N-octadecylsulfosuccinate; disodium Iaury! sulfosuccinate;
`
`diammonium Iaury! sulfosuccinate; tetrasodium N-( 1,2-dicarboxyethyi)-N-octadecylsulfosuccinate;
`
`the diamyl ester of sodium sulfosuccinic acid; the dihexyl ester of sodium sulfosuccinic acid; and the
`
`20
`
`dioctyl ester of sodium sulfosuccinic acid.
`
`Other suitable anionic surfactants include olefin sulfonates having about I 0 to about 24
`
`carbon atoms. The term "olefm sulfonates" is used herein to mean compounds which can be
`
`produced by the sulfonation of alpha-olefms by means of uncomplexed sulfur trioxide, followed by
`
`neutralization of the acid reaction mixture in conditions such that any sulfones which have been
`
`25
`
`formed in the reaction are hydrolyzed to give the corresponding hydroxyalkanesulfonates. The
`
`sulfur trioxide can be liquid or gaseous, and is usually, but not necessarily, diluted by inert diluents,
`
`for example by liquid S02, chlorinated hydrocarbons, etc., when used in the liquid form, or by air,
`
`nitrogen, gaseous S02, etc., when used in the gaseous form.
`
`The alpha-olefins from which the olefm sulfonates are derived are mono-olefins having
`
`30
`
`about 12 to about 24 carbon atoms, preferably about 14 to about 16 carbon atoms. Preferably, they
`
`are straight chain olefms.
`
`In addition to the true alkene sulfonates and a proportion of hydroxy-alkanesulfonates, the
`
`olefin sulfonates can contain minor amounts of other materials, such as alkene disulfonates
`
`depending upon the reaction conditions, proportion of reactants, the nature of the starting olefms and
`
`35
`
`impurities in the olefm stock and side reactions during the sulfonation process. A specific
`
`alpha-olefin sulfonate mixture of the above type is described more fully in U.S. Patent 3,332,880, to
`
`Pflaumer and Kessler, issued July 25, 1967, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

`
`Another class of anionic surfactants suitable for use in the shampoo compositions are the
`
`beta-alkyloxy alkane sulfonates. These compounds have the following formula:
`
`OR2 H
`
`R'++SO,M
`
`H H
`
`where R I is a straight chain alkyl group having from about 6 to about 20 carbon atoms, R2 is a lower
`
`5
`
`alkyl group having from about I. preferred, to about 3 carbon atoms, and M is as hereinbefore
`
`10
`
`15
`
`20
`
`25
`
`described.
`
`Many other anionic surfactants suitable for use in the shampoo compositions are described
`
`in McCutcheon's. Emulsifiers and Detergents. 1989 Annual, published by M. C. Publishing Co., and
`
`in U.S. Patent 3,929,678, which descriptions are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
`
`Preferred anionic surfactants for use in the shampoo compositions include ammonium Iaury!
`
`sulfate, ammonium laureth sulfate, triethylamine Iaury! sulfate, triethylamine laureth sulfate,
`
`triethanolamine Iaury! sulfate, triethanolamine laureth sulfate, monoethanolamine Iaury! sulfate.

`monoethanolamine lauryl sulfate, sodium N-lauroyi-N-methyl taurate, sodium tridecyl benzene sul(cid:173)
`
`fonate, and sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate. Preferred for use herein are detersive anionic
`
`surfactants selected from the group consisting of ammonium laureth-3 sulfate, sodium alureth-3
`
`sulfate, ammonium Iaury! sulfate, sodium lauryl sulfate. and mixtures therelf.
`
`Stabilizing Surfactants
`
`The compositions of the present invention comprise from about 0.05% to about 20%.
`
`preferably from about 0.1% to about 10%, and more preferably from about 0.5% to about 10% of a
`
`stabilizing surfactant selected from the group consisting of amphoteric surfactants, anionic amino
`
`acid derivative surfactants, cationic surfactants, and mixtures thereof.
`
`By stabilizing surfactant is meant a surfactant that provides enhanced stability of the
`
`shampoo compositions, whereby the products are resistant to separation. Without being limited by
`
`theory, it is believed that these surfactants help to disperse and/or dissolve the fatty compounds in the
`
`30
`
`aqueous shampoo base.
`
`The stabilizing surfactant component, and in particular the anionic amino acid derivative
`
`surfactants, described herein are defmed to be excluded from the anionic detersive surfactant
`
`component, as described above.

`
`The stabilizing surfactant component of the present invention can comprise an amphoteric
`
`surfactant.
`
`The tenn "amphoteric surfactant," as used herein, is also intended to encompass
`
`zwitterionic surfactants, which are well known to fonnulators skilled in the art as a subset of
`
`amphoteric surfactants. A wide variety of amphoteric surfactants can be used in the compositions of
`
`5
`
`the present invention. Particularly useful are those which are broadly described as derivatives of
`
`aliphatic secondary and tertiary amines, preferably wherein the nitrogen is in a cationic state, in
`
`which the aliphatic radicals can be straight or branched chain and wherein one of the radicals
`
`contains an ionizable water solubilizing group, e.g., carboxy, sulfonate, sulfate, phosphate, or
`
`phosphonate.

`
`Non limiting examples of amphoteric surfactants useful in the compositions of the present
`
`invention are disclosed in McCutcheon's, Detergents and Emulsifiers, North American edition
`
`( 1986), published by allured Publishing Corporation; and McCutcheon's, Functional Materials,
`
`North American Edition ( 1992); both of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
`
`Preferred amphoteric or zwinerionic surfactants are
`
`the betaines. sultaines, and
