## Background
This application is a 371 application of PCT/EP2011/063203 filed Aug. 1, 2011, which claims foreign priority benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119 of European Application No. 10008174.4 filed Aug. 5, 2010.
The present invention is related to aqueous conditioning composition for hair comprising at least one cationic starch polymer and at least one additional cationic polymer selected from the ones with monosaccharide units. Conditioning composition of the present invention can be in the form of a shampoo, cleansing-conditioning composition, or in the form of a conditioner used after washing hair with cleansing compositions.
Conditioning compositions for hair have been known for ages. Various types of conditioners are available on the market and new ones are being introduced almost every day. Although this extremely developed conditioner market for hair, there is still need for improvements.
Among important properties of hair, volume, body and shine are the ones addressed very often. On the other hand, it has been observed that smooth feeling of hair is very much wished by the users and at the same time improved looseness and bounce are preferred properties.
It has been observed that know monosaccharide derived cationic polymers make hair satisfactorily smooth but hair treated with such composition often lack looseness and bounce.
It has been surprisingly found out that combination of starch derived cationic polymer, especially oxidized starch derived cationic polymer and another monosaccharide derived cationic polymer makes hair smooth and at the same time improved looseness and bounce. Such effects are especially pronounced when hair is damaged and excellently improved properties were observed with fine hair. Since hair becomes smooth, hair appears with enhanced shine and at the same time volume and body are as well improved because of improved looseness and bounce.
Therefore, first objective of the present invention is to provide an aqueous conditioning composition for hair which conditions hair satisfactorily and especially in terms of improved smoothness, looseness and bounce. Furthermore, other properties of hair are maintained or improved as well such as shine, volume, body and softness.
It has surprisingly been found out that aqueous composition comprising at least one starch derived cationic polymer and at least one additional monosaccharide derived cationic polymer conditions hair satisfactorily in terms of improved smoothness, looseness and bounce.
Accordingly the first object of the present invention is aqueous conditioning composition for hair comprising at least one starch derived cationic polymer and at least one monosaccharide derived cationic polymer.
Further object of the present invention is the use of the compositions of the present invention to condition hair especially fine hair and especially damaged hair especially in terms of smoothness, looseness and bounce.
Still further object of the present invention is the method of conditioning hair wherein hair is treated with at least one composition of the present invention and optionally rinsed off from hair after a processing time of 1 to 30 min.
It has also been observed during the course of tests that the effects are more pronounced when both cleansing and conditioning compositions and conditioning composition without any cleansing effect comprise at least one starch derived cationic polymer and at least one monosaccharide derived cationic polymer. Thus, further object of the present invention is a process for cleansing and conditioning hair wherein a cleansing and conditioning composition is applied onto hair and after rinsing off a conditioning composition without any cleansing effect is applied and optionally rinsed off from hair wherein both compositions comprise at least one starch derived cationic polymer and at least one additional monosaccharide derived cationic polymer.

Such products have been known for some time and are on the market, for example, under the trade name “AKYPO®” and “AKYPO-SOFT®”.
Also useful are C8-C20-acyl isethionates, alone or in admixture with other anionic surfactants, as well as sulfofatty acids and the esters thereof.
It is also possible to use mixtures of several anionic surfactants, for example an ether sulfate and a polyether carboxylic acid or alkyl amidoether carboxylic acid.
An overview of the anionic surfactants used in liquid body cleansing compositions can furthermore be found in the monography of K. Schrader and A. Domsch, “Cosmetology—Theory and Practice”, 2005, Verlag für chemische Industrie, Augsburg—Germany, pp. II-8-II-19.
Further suitable anionic surfactants are also C8-C22-acyl aminocarboxylic acids or the water-soluble salts thereof. Especially preferred is N-lauroyl glutamate, in particular as sodium salt, as well as, for example, N-lauroyl sarcosinate, N—C12-C18-acyl asparaginic acid, N-myristoyl sarcosinate, N-oleoyl sarcosinate, N-lauroyl methylalanine, N-lauroyl lysine and N-lauroyl aminopropyl glycine, preferably in form of the water-soluble alkali or ammonium, in particular the sodium salts thereof, preferably in admixture with the above-named anionic surfactants.
Further surfactants in the conditioning-cleansing compositions according to the invention are nonionic surfactants, preferably in admixture with anionic surfactants.
These are described in Schrader, I. c., on pages 600-601 and pp. 694-695. Especially suited are alkyl polyglucosides of the general formula

R12—O—(R13O)n—Zx,

wherein R12 is an alkyl group with 8 to 18 carbon atoms, R13 is an ethylene or propylene group, Z is a saccharide group with 5 to 6 carbon atoms, n is a number from 0 to 10 and x is a number between 1 and 5.

These alkyl polyglucosides have recently become known in particular as excellent skin-compatible, foam improving agents in liquid detergents and body cleansing compositions, and are present in an amount from about 1% to 15%, in particular from 1% to 10% by weight, calculated to the total composition.
Mixtures of anionic surfactants and alkyl polyglucosides as well as the use thereof in liquid body cleansing compositions are already known, for example, from EP-A 70 074. The alkyl polyglucosides disclosed therein are basically also suited within the scope of the present invention; as well as the mixtures of sulfosuccinates and alkyl polyglucosides disclosed in EP-A 358 216.
Further nonionic surfactant components are, for example, long-chain fatty acid mono- and dialkanolamides, such as coco fatty acid monoethanolamide and myristic fatty acid monoethanolamide, which can also be used as foam enhancers, preferably in amounts from about 1% to about 5% by weight.
Further additionally useful nonionic surfactants are, for example, the various sorbitan esters, such as polyethylene glycol sorbitan stearic acid ester, fatty acid polyglycol esters or poly-condensates of ethyleneoxide and propyleneoxide, as they are on the market, for example, under the trade name “Pluronics®”, as well as fatty alcohol ethoxylates.
Further suitable nonionic surfactants are amineoxides which may be present in an amount from 0.25% to 5% by weight, calculated to the total composition.
Such amineoxides are state of the art, for example C12-C18-alkyl dimethyl amineoxides such as lauryl dimethyl amineoxide, C12-C18-alkyl amidopropyl or -ethyl amineoxides, C12-C18-alkyl di(hydroxyethyl) or (hydroxypropyl) amineoxides, or also amineoxides with ethyleneoxide and/or propyleneoxide groups in the alkyl chain. Such amineoxides are on the market, for example, under the trade names “Ammonyx®”, “Aromox®” or “Genaminox®”.
Further nonionic surfactants useful in the cleansing conditioning compositions according to invention are C10-C22-fatty alcohol ethoxylates at a concentration of 0.5 to 10%, preferably 0.5 to 5% by weight, calculated to total composition. Especially suited are C10-C22-fatty alcohol ethers, the alkyl polyglycol ethers known by the generic terms “Laureth”, “Myristeth”, “Oleth”, “Ceteth”, “Deceth”, “Steareth” and “Ceteareth” according to the CTFA nomenclature, including addition of the number of ethylene oxide molecules, e.g., “Laureth-16”:
The average degree of ethoxylation thereby ranges between about 2.5 and about 25, preferably about 10 and about 20.
As further surfactant component, the cleansing conditioning compositions according to the invention can also contain amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactants, for example in an amount from about 0.5% to about 15%, preferably from about 1% to about 10%, by weight, calculated to the total composition. It has especially been found out that addition of zwitterionic or amphoteric surfactants enhances foam feeling in terms of creaminess, foam volume and as well as skin compatibility is improved. For achieving milder formulations anionic surfactant, especially of sulphate types, to amphoteric surfactant ratio should be in the range of 10:1 to 1:1, preferably 5:1 to 1:1.
Useful as such are in particular the various known betaines such as alkyl betaines, fatty acid amidoalkyl betaines and sulfobetaines, for example, lauryl hydroxysulfobetaine; long-chain alkyl amino acids, such as cocoaminoacetate, cocoaminopropionate and sodium cocoamphopropionate and -acetate have also proven suitable.
In detail, it is possible to use betaines of the structure




wherein R14 is a C8-C18-alkyl group and n is 1 to 3;

sulfobetaines of the structure




wherein R14 and n are same as above;
and amidoalkyl betaines of the structure




wherein R14 and n are same as above.

Solubilizers may be added to the compositions, in particular cleansing compositions, especially when oily substances are chosen as conditioning agents and fragrance oils with highly lipophilic properties. Typical solubilizers may be hydrogenated castor oil known with the trade mark Cremophor RO series from BASF. It should be noted that as well the surfactant mixture can be a good solubilizer for fragrance oils. Typical concentration of the solubilizers can be in the range of 0.01-2% by weight, preferably 0.1-1% by weight, calculated to total composition.
