Description: PERSONAL CARE COMPOSITIONS SUITABLE FOR APPLICATION TO THE HAIR, SKIN OR NAILS TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to compositions including silicone emulsions, especially microemulsions, and corresponding applications of the compositions, e.g., in personal care areas such as hair care, skin care, and nail care. The compositions are especially useful, e.g., in hair styling applications. The invention further relates to stable compositions containing a silicone emulsion, especially microemulsions, and lower monohydric alcohol, and corresponding applications of the compositions. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Silicone emulsions have been used in a variety of applications in the areas of personal care (e.g., hair, skin or nail care), household care, automotive care, and coatings. When used, the stability of the emulsion is generally important in order to provide a highly functional and esthetically pleasing product. However, formulations in these areas tends to be complex, requiring a number of ingredients for different purposes, with potential for incompatibilities. For example, silicone emulsions tend to be unstable in compositions containing lower alcohols, resulting in phase separation of the composition. Other incompatibilities in the system, e.g., polymer-polymer or polymer-surfactant interactions, can also result in phase separation. For example, silicone emulsions have been used in hair styling compositions, e.g., hairsprays, mousses, gels, lotions and the like. Such compositions provide temporary setting benefits and can usually be removed by water or by shampooing. The materials used in these types of hair styling compositions are generally resins, gums, and adhesive polymers which are capable of imparting style or shape to the hair. Many of these products also contain lower alcohols in order to obtain good films of the polymer in a short period of time. Many people desire a high level of style retention, or hold, from a styling product. Unfortunately, most current hair styling products having good hold characteristics suffer from the disadvantages of being either too stiff, not smooth or too sticky upon drying. Stiff compositions tend to be brittle and break down under common stresses such as wind, brushing, combing. Stiff compositions also tend to feel and look unnatural. Sticky compositions overcome many of the foregoing disadvantages of stiff compositions, because sticky compositions tend to be more forgiving, i.e., flexible, under stress and allow for restyling of the hair. However, sticky compositions have the disadvantage of leaving the hair with a heavy, coated feel and with a limp and unattractive appearance. Also, sticky compositions cause the hair to quickly become soiled from common contaminant sources such as dust, dirt, lint, sebum, etc. When incorporated into a hair styling composition, silicones tend to provide a desirably smooth or soft hair feel. Unfortunately, silicone emulsions tend to be difficult to formulate in hair styling compositions, which typically contain lower alcohols. As discussed above, such compositions tend to phase separate. This phase separation is not only undesirable for visual esthetic reasons, but for performance reasons as well. When the product phase separates, hold and/or hair feel properties of the product tend to be negatively impacted. Therefore, a need exists for hair styling compositions providing good style retention without the disadvantages of stiff or sticky compositions. There is a particular need for hair styling compositions containing lower alcohols providing good style retention without the disadvantages of stiff or sticky compositions. A variety of personal care products for treatment of skin and nails are also known. Many of these products contain alcohols, generally to provide a volatility to the product for a desired astringency, application or other reason. These products may also contain a silicone for imparting a desirable skin feel. Examples of such products include deodorants, anti-perspirants, after-shave lotions, nail polish, nail polish remover, and wet wipes. Such products containing lower alcohols and silicone emulsions also tend to suffer from phase separation, which negatively impacts visual esthetics and/or performance of the product. Therefore, a need exists for topical compositions for treating the skin or nails, containing lower alcohols and silicone emulsions, which are also stable. It has been discovered that specific silicone polyethers are particularly useful to stabilize silicone emulsions, silicone microemulsions or a composition containing such emulsions in the presence of lower alcohols, e.g., C\ -C3 monohydric alcohols, which may be included in the composition. Stability is provided even where the composition contains relatively high levels of lower alcohol. While stability with respect to C\ -C3 monohydric alcohols, and especially ethanol, propanol and isopropanol, is of greatest interest because of their widespread use in commercial applications, superior stability is also provided to compositions containing other lower alcohols, e.g., C4 alcohols. Such stability is useful in a variety of applications, including applications in the areas of personal care, household care, automotive care and coatings. An object of the invention is to provide stable compositions containing certain silicone polyethers and a suitable carrier, especially carriers containing lower alcohols. It is yet another object of the invention to provide such compositions which also contain a silicone emulsion. It is another object of the invention to provide such compositions which are suitable for applications in the personal care area, including hair care, skin care and nail care applications. It is another object of the invention to provide such polymers and compositions which are suitable for hair styling, e.g., hair sprays, mousses, gels, lotions and the like. It is another object of this invention to provide hair styling compositions that provide good style retention without unacceptable stiffness or stickiness. Another object of this invention is to provide hair styling compositions that both look and feel natural. It is another object of this invention to provide methods for styling and holding hair. These and other objects will become readily apparent from the detailed description which follows.

Preferred final personal care compositions are those also characterized by these properties. Organopolysiloxane Emulsions Compositions of the present invention also contain an organopolysiloxane emulsion comprising polysiloxane particles dispersed in a suitable carrier, generally with the aid of a surfactant. The organopolysiloxane emulsion is generally an aqueous emulsion or microemulsion of an organopolysiloxane stabilized in the emulsion or microemulsion by one or more ionic or nonionic surfactants. Such emulsions and microemulsions can be prepared mechanically or by emulsion polymerization. Emulsions and microemulsions used in the present invention are preferably those prepared by emulsion polymerization. The emulsion is preferably included in an amount such that the composition contains from about 0.01 to about 10% of the dispersed polysiloxane, more preferably about 0.05% to about 6%, most preferably about 0.1 % to about 4%. Typically, the composition will include about 0.02 to about 50%) of the emulsion. Organopolysiloxane emulsions can be classified according to the average particle size, or diameter, of the dispersed organopolysiloxane in the emulsion. Emulsions prepared by emulsion polymerization generally comprise an organopolysiloxane as dispersed particles having a diameter of less than about 140 nanometers, more generally less than about 50 nanometers (often referred to as "microemulsions"). Fine emulsions are generally those containing particles of organopolysiloxane with a diameter of about 140-300 nanometers, while standard emulsions are generally those containing organosiloxane particles with a diameter greater than about 300 nanometers. Particle size of an emulsion can be determined by conventional methods, e.g., using a Leeds & Northrup Microtrac UPA particle sizer. Microemulsions are preferred. The average particle size of the emulsion used in the present invention is preferably less than about 150 nanometers, more preferably less than about 100 nanometers, even more preferably less than about 80 nanometers, still more preferably less than about 60 nanometers, most preferably less than about 40 nanometers. Silicone emulsions having these particle sizes tend to be more stable and have better external appearance than those having larger particle sizes. The organopolysiloxane in the emulsion can be a linear or branched chain siloxane fluid having a viscosity of about 20-3,000,000 mm^/s (cs), preferably 300- 300,000 cs, more preferably 350-200,000 cs, at 25°C. Suitable organopolysiloxanes preferably contain the difunctional repeating "D" unit: wherein n is greater than 1 and Rl and R^ are each independently C1-C7 alkyl or phenyl. A mixture of siloxanes may be used. Exemplary siloxanes include polydimethylsiloxane, polydiethylsiloxane, polymethylethylsiloxane, polymethylphenylsiloxane, and polydiphenylsiloxane. Siloxane polymers with dimethylsiloxane "D" units are preferred from an economic standpoint. However, Rl and R^ may independently be a functional group other than methyl, e.g., aminoalkyl, carboxyalkyl, haloalkyl, acrylate, acryloxy, acrylamide, mercaptoalkyl or vinyl. The siloxane may be terminated with hydroxy groups, alkoxy groups such as methoxy, ethoxy, and propoxy, or trimethylsiloxy groups, preferably hydroxy or trimethylsiloxy. The organopolysiloxane emulsions used herein can be produced by the emulsion polymerization of organosiloxane having a low degree of polymerization in a solvent comprising water. The organopolysiloxane is stabilized in the emulsion by a surfactant, e.g., a nonionic surfactant and an ionic surfactant. The degree of polymerization (DP) of the polysiloxane after emulsion polymerization is preferably in the range of from 3 to 5,000, more preferably in the range of from 10 to 3,000. The emulsion can be prepared by the emulsion polymerization process described in EP 459500 (published December 4, 1992), incorporated herein by reference. In that process, stable, oil free polysiloxane emulsions and microemulsions are prepared by mixing a cyclic siloxane, a nonionic surfactant, an ionic surfactant, water, and a condensation polymerization catalyst. The mixture is heated and agitated at polymerization reaction temperature until essentially all of the cyclic siloxane is reacted, and a stable, oil free emulsion or microemulsion is formed. The reaction mix, especially surfactant levels, and conditions are controlled in order to provide the desired organopolysiloxane particle size. The emulsions and microemulsions typically have a pH of about 3 to about 10 (e.g., 6-7.5), and contain about 10 to about 70% by weight siloxane polymer, preferably about 20 to about 60%, about 0% to about 30% by weight nonionic surfactant, about 0 to about 30% by weight ionic surfactant, preferably about 0 to about 20%>, the balance being water. Preferred emulsions and methods of making them are further described in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 08/929,721, filed on September 15, 1997 in the names of Ronald P. Gee and Judith M. Vincent, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Emulsions can also be produced by the emulsion polymerization process described in EPA 0268982, published June 6, 1988, assigned to Toray, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. In this process, the emulsion is prepared by a process in which a crude emulsion, consisting of polysiloxane having a low degree of polymerization, a first surfactant (anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants), and water, is slowly dripped into an aqueous solution containing a catalytic quantity of a polymerization catalyst and a second surfactant which acts as an emulsifying agent (which may be the same as the first surfactant, however, the surfactants should be compatible in the reaction mixture considering the ionicity of the reaction mixture). The reaction mix and conditions are controlled to provide the desired organopolysiloxane particle size. Therefore, a dropwise addition of the crude emulsion into the aqueous solution of catalyst and surfactant of 30 minutes or longer is preferred in order to produce emulsions having smaller particle sizes. In addition, the quantity of surfactant used in the catalyst plus the surfactant aqueous solution is from about 5 to about 70 weight %, more preferably from about 25 to about 60 per 100 weight parts polysiloxane in the crude emulsion. Any conventional nonionic surfactant can be used to prepare the emulsion. Exemplary types of nonionic surfactants include silicone polyethers, both grafted and linear block, ethoxylated fatty alcohols, ethoxylated alcohols, ethoxylated alkyl phenols, Isolaureth-6 (polyethylene glycol ether of branched chain aliphatic C^2 containing alcohols having the formula Ci2H25(OCH2CH2)6OH), fatty acid alkanolamides, amine oxides, sorbitan derivatives (e.g., commercially available from ICI Americas, Inc., Wilmington, DE, under the tradenames SPAN and TWEEN), and propylene oxide-ethylene oxide block polymers (e.g., commercially available from BASF Corp., Parsippany, NJ under the trademark PLURONIC). Ionic surfactants useful in preparing the emulsion include any conventional anionic surfactant such as sulfonic acids and their salt derivatives. Ionic surfactants also include any conventional cationic surfactant used in emulsion polymerization. Surfactants of these types are well known in the art and are commercially available from a number of sources. Specific examples of these surfactant types are also disclosed in the above referenced patent application Serial No. 08/929,721. The surfactant can be used in the form of a single type of surfactant (e.g., anionic, cationic or nonionic), or the surfactant can be used as a combination of two or more types provided that they are compatible with each other and the other components of the composition. Preferred combinations of surfactant types include the combination of two or more types of anionic surfactants, the combination of two or more types of nonionic surfactants, the combination of two or more types of cationic surfactants, the combination of two or more types of surfactants selected from both the anionic and nonionic surfactants; and the combination of two or more types of surfactants selected from both the cationic and nonionic surfactants. The catalyst employed in the emulsion polymerization may be any catalyst capable of polymerizing cyclic siloxanes in the presence of water, including condensation polymerization catalysts capable of cleaving siloxane bonds. Exemplary catalysts include strong acids and strong bases, ionic surfactants such as dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, phase transfer catalysts, and ion exchange resins where a catalyst is formed in situ. As will be understood by those skilled in the art, a given surfactant may also serve as the polymerization catalyst (e.g., alkylbenzenesulfonic acids, or quaternary ammonium hydroxides or salt thereof may function as both a surfactant and the polymerization catalyst). A surfactant system, catalyst and resulting emulsion suitable for use in the compositions of the present invention can be selected by the skilled artisan considering the ionicity of the composition. In general, these materials are selected such that the total composition will be compatible. Emulsions useful herein also include those produced by a mechanical emulsion process, although those produced by emulsion polymerization are preferred. In mechanical emulsions, the organopolysiloxane is generally present in the emulsion in the form of particles having a diameter greater than about 140 nanometer and less than about 350 nanometer, preferably less than about 300 nanometer. Mechanical emulsions can be prepared by known mechanical processes such as are described in US Patent 5,017,221 (May 21, 1991) and in EP 463431 (January 2, 1992). Typical mechanical emulsions contain a trimethylsiloxy- terminated polydimethylsiloxane stabilized by a nonionic surfactant. According to such mechanical processes, water, one or more nonionic surfactants, and the organopolysiloxane are mixed together, and homogenized using a laboratory homogenizer or other device for applying vigorous agitation. These mechanical emulsions typically have a pH of 7-9.5, and contain 10-80%o by weight of the siloxane, preferably 20-60%, 0.01-15%) by weight of the nonionic surfactant(s), the balance being water. Organopolysiloxane emulsions are available from a number of commercial sources. The following organopolysiloxane emulsions are manufactured by Dow Corning of Midland, MI. Emulsions containing dimethicone copolyol: Emulsions not containing dimethicone copolyol: The silicone emulsion may contain a silicone polyether copolyol, such as described herein. If the emulsion is supplied as a material not containing a silicone polyether already present in the emulsion, the silicone polyether may be added to the emulsion prior to making the batch composition hereof. Where the polyether is not dispersible in the silicone emulsion, it is preferably mixed in about an equal portion of water containing from 10-50%> C\ - C3 monohydric alcohol, preferably ethanol, prior to combination with the silicone emulsion. This pre-mix is then added to the other ingredients of the composition which have preferably been pre-mixed. It is generally preferred to use emulsions having lower particle sizes as described herein. Where the composition contains an anionic acrylate polymer, e.g., a hair styling polymer which is an anionic acrylate polymer, DC 2-1845 and DC 2- 5791 are preferred emulsions. When the composition contains a cationic polymer comprising nitrogen, e.g., a hair styling polymer of this type, the DC-2-8194, DC 2- 1281, and DC 2-5932 emulsions are preferred. Silicone Polyether Surfactant Compositions of the present invention also contain a silicone polyether suitable for stabilizing the organopolysiloxane emulsion. The silicone polyether comprises a polymeric portion comprising repeating organosiloxane units, and a polymeric portion comprising repeating alkylene oxide units (i.e., a silicone- polyoxyalkylene copolymer). Suitable silicone polyethers are those which are surface active in the solvent system employed in the compositions of the invention. As will be understood in the art, the surface activity of the silicone polyether will depend on the molecular weight of the polymeric portion comprising repeating organosiloxane units. This portion should be of sufficiently large molecular weight such that it is insoluble in the carrier, yet not so large that it renders the whole molecule insoluble in the carrier. The silicone polyether is preferably used in an amount of from about 0.02% to about 7%, more preferably about 0.05% to about 5%>, of the total composition. Preferred silicone polyethers are silicone - linear polyoxyalkylene block copolymers (wherein the polymeric backbone comprises silicone blocks and polyoxyalkylene blocks, optionally having grafts). Preferred silicone linear block polyethers suitable for use herein have the formula (I): M'D b D' c M' wherein IN is a monofunctional unit R2R'SiOι/2; D is a difunctional unit R2Siθ2/2_ D' is a difunctional unit RR'SiO2/2; R is independently H, C\- Cg alkyl, or aryl; R' is independently, an oxyalkylene containing moiety, H, or CH3; wherein when R' is an oxyalkylene containing moiety, it has the formula: - R"(OC n CH 2n ) y - R wherein R" is a divalent radical for connecting the oxyalkylene portion of moiety R' to the siloxane backbone; R'" is a terminating radical for the oxyalkylene portion of the moiety R'; n is an integer of from 2 to 4 (i.e., the oxyalkylene group may contain ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and/or butylene oxide units); and y is an integer of lor greater, wherein the total of y from all of the oxyalkylene moieties in the copolymer is greater than 10; b is an integer of from about 10 to about 1000; and c is an integer of from 0 to about 100, provided that when c is 0, at least one M' contains an oxyalkylene moiety.

Such silicone polyethers are commercially available from Goldschmidt Chemical Company under the tradename TEGOPREN 5830. Siloxane-oxyalkylene copolymers, i.e., silicone polyethers, can be prepared according to methods generally described in the standard text on silicone chemistry entitled "Chemistry and Technology of Silicones," by Walter Noll, Academic Press Inc., Orlando, Florida, (1968), on pages 373-376.

Suitable carriers are those in which the silicone polyether is soluble or dispersible, preferably soluble or microdispersible, and in which the organopolysiloxane is dispersible. Choice of an appropriate carrier will also depend on the particular end use and product form contemplated (e.g., the hair styling polymer to be used, and the product form, e.g., for hair styling compositions such as hair spray, mousse, tonic, lotion or gel). Preferred carriers are those which are suitable for application to the hair, skin, or nails, especially the hair or skin. The carrier is present at from about 0.5% to about 99.5%>, preferably from about 5% to about 99.5%, most preferably from about 50%> to about 95%, of the composition.

In a preferred embodiment, the carrier comprises (i) a solvent selected from the group consisting of water; water soluble organic solvents; organic solvents which are strongly to moderately strong in hydrogen-bonding parameter; and mixtures thereof; wherein the solvent is other than C1-C3 monohydric alcohol, C - C3 ketone and C1-C3 ether; (ii) a solvent selected from the groups consisting of C\- C3 monohydric alcohols, C1-C3 ketones, C1-C3 ethers, and mixtures thereof; and (iii) mixtures thereof; preferably a mixture thereof. Especially preferred are a mixture of water and C\ -C3 monohydric alcohol, e.g., water-ethanol or water- isopropanol-ethanol. Another particularly preferred solvent system comprises one or more of propylene glycol monomethyl ether, methyl acetate, and methyl proprionate, preferably methyl acetate, optionally with one or more of water or a C\- C3 monohydric alcohol. The carrier may include other solvents, e.g., hydrocarbons (such as isobutane, hexane, decene, acetone), halogenated hydrocarbons (such as Freon), linalool, volatile silicon derivatives, especially siloxanes (such as phenyl pentamethyl disiloxane, methoxypropyl heptamethyl cyclotetrasiloxane, chloropropyl pentamethyl disiloxane, hydroxypropyl pentamethyl disiloxane, octamethyl cyclotetrasiloxane, decamethyl cyclopentasiloxane), and mixtures thereof. Solvents used in admixture may be miscible or immiscible with each other. However, in the final composition such solvents should be compatible with each other and other components in the composition such that solids do not precipitate. Reduced "volatile organic compound" or "VOC" compositions may be desirable. In this regard, "VOC" refers to those organic compounds that contain less than 12 carbon atoms or have a vapor pressure greater than about 0.1 mm of mercury. For example, the composition may have, as initially applied, a total VOC content of about 95% or less, about 80%> or less, about 55% or less (e.g., in preferred hairsprays), about 16% or less (e.g., in preferred mousses), or about 6% or less (e.g., in preferred gels). The VOC may be based on actual VOC content, or the VOC which is delivered upon initial dispensing from a package. Where the composition comprises a silicone graft hair styling copolymer, the compositions hereof may contain a volatile, nonpolar, branched chain hydrocarbon, which acts as a solvent for the silicone portion of the silicone grafted copolymer. When used, the branched chain hydrocarbon solvent hereof is present at a level of from about 0.01%> to about 15%, preferably from about 0.05%> to about 10%, more preferably from about 0.1% to about 8%, by weight of the composition. The branched chain hydrocarbon solvent is characterized by a boiling point of at least about 105°C, preferably at least about 110°C, more preferably at least about 125°C, most preferably at least about 150°C . The boiling point is also generally about 260°C or less, preferably about 200°C or less. The hydrocarbon chosen should also be safe for topical application to the hair and skin.

The solvent includes those selected from the group consisting of C10-C14 branched chain hydrocarbons, and mixtures thereof, preferably C^-C^ branched chain hydrocarbons, more preferably Cj2 branched chain hydrocarbons. Saturated hydrocarbons are preferred, although it isn't necessarily intended to exclude unsaturated hydrocarbons. Examples of suitable nonpolar solvents include isoparaffins of the above chain sizes. Isoparaffins are commercially available from Exxon Chemical Co. Examples include Isopar^M Q (Cio-Cn isoparaffins), Isopar^M JT anc j £ (C - C12 isoparaffins), and Isopar^M L C\ \-Ci2 isoparaffins). The most preferred nonpolar solvent are C^2 branched chain hydrocarbons, especially isododecane. Isododecane is commercially available from Preperse, Inc. (South Plainfield, NJ, USA) as Permethyl™ 99 A. The solubility of the silicone portion of the hair styling polymer can be easily determined by verifying whether a silicone polymer of the same composition and molecular weight as that in the hair styling polymer is soluble in the nonpolar hydrocarbon solvent. In general, the silicone polymer should be soluble at 25°C at a concentration of 0.1% by weight of the hydrocarbon solvent, preferably at 1%>, more preferably at 5%>, most preferably at 15%>. The nonpolar hydrocarbon solvent, however, is insoluble in the polar solvents of the composition. This is determined in the absence of the hair styling polymer, or other emulsifying agents, and can easily be verified by observing whether the polar and nonpolar solvents form separate phases after being mixed together. Without intending to be necessarily limited by any particular theory, it is believed that the nonpolar hydrocarbon solvent solubilizes the silicone portion of the hair styling polymer. This is believed to aid in obtaining a smoother, more lubricious polymer film upon drying. The above solvent systems are also useful for other topical applications, e.g. to the skin or nails. The carrier may also comprise conventional components such as are known in the art suitable for a given product form. Optional Components Compositions of the invention may contain a variety of other ingredients such as are conventionally used in a given product form. Compositions of the present invention are especially useful in preparing personal care products, household care products, automotive care products, and coating products. In the personal care area, compositions hereof may be in the form of hair care, skin care (including underarm), and nail care compositions.

(iii) Sulfur-Linked Silicone Containing Copolymers Also useful herein are sulfur-linked silicone containing copolymers, including block copolymers. As used herein in reference to silicone containing copolymers, the term "sulfur- linked" means that the copolymer contains a sulfur linkage (i.e., -S-), a disulfide linkage (i.e., -S-S-), or a sulfhydryl group (i.e.,-SH). These sulfur-linked silicone containing copolymers are represented by the following general formula: wherein G5 independently represents monovalent moieties which can independently be the same or different selected from the group consisting of alkyl, aryl, alkaryl, alkoxy, alkylamino, fluoroalkyl, hydrogen, and — ZSA; A represents a vinyl polymeric segment consisting essentially of polymerized free radically polymerizable monomer, and Z is a divalent linking group.

The selection of A is typically based upon the intended uses of the composition, and the properties the copolymer must possess in order to accomplish its intended purpose. If A comprises a block in the case of block copolymers, a polymer having AB and ABA architecture will be obtained depending upon whether a mercapto functional group — SH is attached to one or both terminal silicon atoms of the mercapto functional silicone compounds, respectively. The weight ratio of vinyl polymer block or segment, to silicone segment of the copolymer can vary. The preferred copolymers are those wherein the weight ratio of vinyl polymer segment to silicone segment ranges from about 98:2 to 50:50, in order that the copolymer possesses properties inherent to each of the different polymeric segments while retaining the overall polymer's solubility. The molecular weights are greater than about 50,000.

Plasticizers are typically used at levels of from about 0.01 % to about 200%) preferably from about 0.05% to about 100%>, more preferably from about 0.1 % to about 50%> by weight of the polymer. C) Surfactants The personal care compositions hereof can contain one or more surfactants, e.g., for emulsifying hydrophobic components which may be present in the composition. Surfactants are preferred for use in mousse products. Generally, if used such surfactants will be used at a total level of from about 0.01 %> to about 10%>, preferably from about 0.01%> to about 5%> and more preferably from about 0.01%> to about 3%, by weight of the composition. A wide variety of surfactants can be used, including anionic, cationic, amphoteric, and zwitterionic surfactants. Anionic surfactants include, for example: alkyl and alkenyl sulfates; alkyl and alkenyl ethoxylated sulfates; (preferably having an average degree of ethoxylation of 1 to 10), succinamate surfactants, such as alkylsulfosuccinamates and dialkyl esters of sulfosuccinic acid; neutralized fatty acid esters of isethionic acid; and alkyl and alkenyl sulfonates, including, for example, olefin sulfonates and beta-alkoxy alkane sulfonates. Preferred are alkyl and alkenyl sulfates and alkyl and alkenyl ethoxylated sulfates such as the sodium and ammonium salts of C12-C18 sulfates and ethoxylated sulfates with a degree of ethoxylation of from 1 to about 6, preferably from 1 to about 4, e.g., lauryl sulfate and laureth (3.0) sulfate. Amphoteric surfactants include those which can be broadly described as derivatives of aliphatic secondary and tertiary amines in which the aliphatic radical can be straight chain or branched and wherein one of the aliphatic substituents contains from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms and one contains an anionic water solubilizing group, e.g., carboxy, sulfonate, sulfate, phosphate, or phosphonate. Examples of compounds falling within this definition are sodium 3- dodecylaminopropionate, N-alkyltaurines such as the one prepared by reacting dodecylamine with sodium isethionate according to the teaching of U.S. Patent 2,658,072, N-higher alkyl aspartic acids such as those produced according to the teaching of U.S. Patent 2,438,091, and the products sold under the trade name "Miranol" and described in U.S. Patent 2,528,378. Others include alkyl, preferably C fi -C 2 2 anα " most preferably C -C 1 ? , amphoglycinates; alkyl, preferably C fi -C 79 and most preferably C^-C, , amphopropionates; and mixtures thereof. Suitable zwitterionic surfactants for use in the present compositions can be exemplified by those which can be broadly described as derivatives of aliphatic quaternary ammonium, phosphonium, and sulfonium compounds, in which the aliphatic radicals can be straight chain or branched, and wherein one of the aliphatic substituents contains from about 8 to 18 carbon atoms and one contains an anionic water-solubilizing group, e.g., carboxy, sulfonate, sulfate, phosphate, or phosphonate. A general formula for these compounds is: (R3) χ R2 — Y (+) — CH 2 — R4 — Z (_) wherein R2 contains an alkyl, alkenyl, or hydroxy alkyl radical of from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms, from 0 to about 10 ethylene oxide moieties and from 0 to 1 glyceryl moiety; Y is selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur atoms; R3 is an alkyl or monohydroxyalkyl group containing 1 to about 3 carbon atoms; x is 1 when Y is sulfur or phosphorus, 1 or 2 when Y is nitrogen; R4 is an alkylene or hydroxyalkylene of from 1 to about 4 carbon atoms and Z is a radical selected from the group consisting of carboxylate, sulfonate, sulfate, phosphonate, and phosphate groups. Classes of zwitterionics include alkyl amino sulfonates, alkyl betaines, and alkyl amido betaines. Cationic surfactants useful in compositions of the present invention contain amino or quaternary ammonium hydrophilic moieties which are positively charged when dissolved in the aqueous composition of the present invention. Cationic surfactants among those useful herein are disclosed in the following documents, all incorporated by reference herein: M. C. Publishing Co., McCutcheon's, Detergents & Emulsifiers, (North American edition 1979); Schwartz, et al., Surface Active Agents, Their Chemistry and Technology, New York: Interscience Publishers, 1949; U.S. Pat. No. 3,155,591, Hilfer, issued Nov. 3, 1964; U.S. Pat. No. 3,929,678, Laughlin, et al, issued Dec. 30, 1975; U.S. Pat. No. 3,959,461, Bailey, et al., issued May 25, 1976; and U.S. Pat. No. 4,387,090, Bolich, Jr., issued June 7, 1983. Among the quaternary ammonium-containing cationic surfactant materials useful herein are those of the general formula: wherein Rj is an aliphatic group of from 1 to 22 carbon atoms, or an aromatic, aryl or alkylaryl group having from 12 to 22 carbon atoms; R2 is an aliphatic group having from 1 to 22 carbon atoms; R3 and R4 are each alkyl groups having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and X is an anion selected from halogen, acetate, phosphate, nitrate and alkylsulfate radicals. The aliphatic groups may contain, in addition to carbon and hydrogen atoms, ether linkages, and other groups such as amido groups. Other quaternary ammonium salts useful herein are diquaternary ammonium salts. Salts of primary, secondary and tertiary fatty amines are also suitable cationic surfactants for use herein. The alkyl groups of such amines preferably have from 12 to 22 carbon atoms, and may be substituted or unsubstituted. Secondary and tertiary amines are preferred, tertiary amines are particularly preferred. Such amines, useful herein, include stearamido propyl dimethyl amine, diethyl amino ethyl stearamide, dimethyl stearamine, dimethyl soyamine, soyamine, myristyl amine, tridecyl amine, ethyl stearylamine, N-tallowpropane diamine, ethoxylated (5 moles E.O.) stearylamine, dihydroxy ethyl stearylamine, and arachidyl- behenylamine. Cationic amine surfactants included among those useful in the present invention are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,275,055, Nachtigal, et al., issued June 23, 1981 (incorporated by reference herein). Suitable cationic surfactant salts include the halogen, acetate, phosphate, nitrate, citrate, lactate and alkyl sulfate salts. Nonionic surfactants include polyethylene oxide condensates of alkyl phenols (preferably Cg-Ci2 alkyl, with a degree of ethoxylation of about 1 to about 6), condensation products of ethylene oxide with the reaction product of propylene oxide and ethylene diamine, condensation products of aliphatic alcohols with ethylene oxide, long chain (i.e., typically C12-C22) tertiary amine oxides, long chain tertiary phosphine oxides, dialkyl sulfoxides containing one long chain alkyl or hydroxy alkyl radical and one short chain (preferably C1-C3) radical, silicone copolyols, and -C4 alkanol amides of acids having a Cg-C22 ac yl moiety. Preferred nonionic surfactants are C1-C4 alkanol amides of acids having a Cg-C22 acyl moiety, polyoxyethylene glycol stearyl ethers, and mixtures thereof. Specific examples which are preferred are Lauramide DEA, Steareth-21, Steareth-2, and Na Cocoyl Isethionate. Additional surfactants suitable for use herein include those described in reference to the silicone emulsion. D) Neutralizing Agents The present compositions may also comprise neutralizing agents such as are known in the art. For example, hair styling polymers which have acidic functionalities, such as carboxyl groups, are preferably used in at least partially neutralized form to promote solubility/dispersibility of the polymer. In addition, use of the neutralized form aids in the ability of the dried hair styling compositions to be removed from the hair by shampooing. The degree of neutralization must balance shampoo removability versus humidity resistance. Neutralization levels in excess of what is required for shampoo removability will result in excessively sticky products that will not hold as well in high humidity. When available acidic monomers are neutralized, it is preferred that from about 5%> to 60%, more preferably from about 10%) to about 40%), and even more preferably from about 12%> to about 30% of the polymer (on a total polymer weight basis) be neutralized. The optimal level of neutralization for a specific polymer will depend on the polarity of the monomers selected, the specific ratios of the monomers to each other, and the percentage of acidic monomers. The level of base needed to neutralize the acid groups in a polymer for a specific %> neutralization of the polymer may be calculated from the following equation: % Base in = A x (B/100) x ( C/D ) composition A = % Polymer in composition B = %o of polymer to be neutralized (assuming acid groups are available) C = MW ofBase D = MW of Acid monomer Any conventionally used base, including organic or inorganic (metallic or other) bases, can be used for neutralization of the polymers. Metallic bases are particularly useful in the present compositions. Hydroxides, where the cation is ammonium, an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal, are suitable neutralizers for use in the present compositions. Preferred inorganic neutralizing agents for use in the compositions of the present invention are potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide. Examples of other suitable neutralizing agents which may be included in the hair styling compositions of the present invention include amines, especially amino alcohols such as 2-amino-2-methyl-l,3-propanediol (AMPD), 2-amino-2- ethyl-l,3-propanediol (AEPD), 2-mino-2-methyl-l-propanol (AMP), 2-amino-l- butanol (AB), monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA), triethanolamine (TEA), monoisopropanolamine (MIPA), diisopropanolamine (DIPA), triisopropanolamine (TIP A), dimethyl laurylamine (DML), dimethyl myristalamine (DMM) and dimethyl stearamine (DMS) For silicone grafted polymers in compositions with water levels > 30%>, sodium hydroxide is the most preferred inorganic base. For the same polymers, particularly useful amine neutralizing agents are dimethyl myristalamine, dimethyl laurylamine, and mixtures thereof. Hair styling polymers having basic functionalities, e.g., amino groups, are preferably at least partially neutralized with an acid, e.g., hydrochloric acid. Neutralization can be accomplished by techniques well known in the art, and before or after polymerization of the monomers comprising the hair styling polymer. E) Hair Conditioning Polymers The compositions of the invention may include a hair conditioning polymer for purposes of improved wet combing, dry combing and/or improved manageability (e.g., frizz or static control). Hair conditioning polymers are typically used at a level of from about 0.001% to about 6%> of the composition, more preferably from about 0.01%) to about 5% of the composition. Cationic and zwitterionic hair conditioning polymers are preferred. Suitable hair conditioning polymers include cationic polymers having a weight average molecular weight of from about 5,000 to about 10 million, and will generally have cationic nitrogen-containing moieties such as quaternary ammonium or cationic amino moieties, and mixtures thereof. Cationic charge density should be at least about 0.1 meq/gram, preferably less than about 3.0 meq/gram, which can be determined according to the well known Kjeldahl Method. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the charge density of amino-containing polymers can vary depending upon pH and the isoelectric point of the amino groups. The charge density should be within the above limits at the pH of intended use. Any anionic counterions can be utilized for the cationic polymers so long as they are compatible. The cationic nitrogen-containing moiety will be present generally as a substituent, on a fraction of the total monomer units of the cationic hair conditioning polymers. Thus, the cationic polymer can comprise copolymers, terpolymers, etc. of quaternary ammonium or cationic amine-substituted monomer units and other non- cationic units referred to herein as spacer monomer units. Such polymers are known in the art, and a variety can be found in International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary, Sixth Edition, 1995, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. Suitable cationic polymers include, for example, copolymers of vinyl monomers having cationic amine or quaternary ammonium functionalities with water soluble spacer monomers such as acrylamide, methacrylamide, alkyl and dialkyl acrylamides, alkyl and dialkyl methacrylamides, alkyl acrylate, alkyl methacrylate, vinyl caprolactone, and vinyl pyrrolidone. The alkyl and dialkyl substituted monomers preferably have C1-C7 alkyl groups, more preferably C1-C3 alkyl groups. Other suitable spacer monomers include vinyl esters, vinyl alcohol (made by hydrolysis of poly- vinyl acetate), maleic anhydride, propylene glycol, and ethylene glycol. The cationic polymers are described in detail in U.S. Patent 4,733,677 which is hereby incorporated by reference to further describe the cationic polymers used for conditioning purposes. The cationic amines can be primary, secondary, or tertiary amines, depending upon the particular species and the pH of the composition. In general, secondary and tertiary amines, especially tertiary amines, are preferred. The cationic polymers can comprise mixtures of monomer units derived from amine- and/or quaternary ammonium-substituted monomer and/or compatible spacer monomers. Other cationic polymers that can be used include polysaccharide polymers, such as cationic cellulose derivatives, cationic starch derivatives, and cationic guar gum derivatives. Other materials include quaternary nitrogen-containing cellulose ethers as described in U.S. Patent 3,962,418, and copolymers of etherified cellulose and starch as described in U.S. Patent 3,958,581, which descriptions are incorporated herein by reference. Where the composition comprises a neutralized, anionic hair styling polymer and a zwitterionic hair conditioning polymer, the pH of the zwitterion is preferably adjusted to that of the neutralized hair styling polymer prior to combination therewith. Neutralization can be achieved by conventional methods using pH- adjusting agents such as are known in the art. F) Propellants Propellants may also be used herein. For example, when the personal care compositions are to be dispensed from a pressurized aerosol container (e.g., certain hair sprays and mousses), a propellant which consists of one or more of the conventionally-known aerosol propellants can be used to propel the compositions. A suitable propellant for use can be generally any gas conventionally used for aerosol containers, preferably a liquifiable gas. Suitable propellants for use are volatile hydrocarbon propellants which can include liquified lower hydrocarbons of 3 to 4 carbon atoms such as propane, butane and isobutane. Other suitable propellants are hydro fluorocarbons such as 1,2-difluoroethane (Hydrofluorocarbon 152A) supplied as Dymel 152A by DuPont. Other examples of propellants are dimethylether, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and atmospheric gas. For hair sprays and mousses, the selection of appropriate hydrocarbons is made to provide a stable system giving the desired spray/foam quality. The aerosol propellant may be mixed with the present compositions and the amount of propellant to be mixed is governed by normal factors well known in the aerosol art. Generally, for liquifiable propellants, the level of propellant is from about 1 % to about 60% by weight of the total composition. For hair sprays, the propellant level is from about 10%> to about 60%> by weight of the total composition, preferably from about 15%> to about 50%> by weight of the total composition. For mousses, the level of propellant is generally from about 1% to about 30%> and more preferably from about 4% to about 15%> by weight of the total composition. Alternatively, pressurized aerosol dispensers can be used where the propellant is separated from contact with the composition such as a two compartment can of the type sold under the tradename SEPRO from American National Can Corp. Other suitable aerosol dispensers are those characterized by the propellant being compressed air which can be filled into the dispenser by means of a pump or equivalent device prior to use. Such dispensers are described in U.S. Patents 4,077,441, March 7, 1978, Olofsson and 4,850,577, July 25, 1989, TerStege, both incorporated by reference herein, and in U.S. Serial No. 07/839,648, Gosselin et al., filed February 21, 1992, also incorporated by reference herein. Compressed air aerosol containers suitable for use are also those previously marketed by The Procter & Gamble Company under their tradename VIDAL S AS SOON AIRSPRAY® hair sprays. Furthermore, non-aerosol foams may also be mixed with the present composition such that the final composition is dispensable as a stable foam. A composition is "dispensable as a stable foam" when it produces a foam when dispensed from a package or container which is either pressurized or equipped with an air or gas mixing device like the F2 non-aerosol foamer described in U.S. Patents 5,271,530; 5,337,929; and 5,443,569; all of which are herein incorporated by reference. Method of Making The hair styling and other personal care compositions of the present invention can be made using conventional formulation and mixing techniques. For hair styling compositions, the hair styling polymer and the solvent are mixed to provide a homogeneous mixture. Any other ingredients are then added and mixed to yield the final composition. If the polymer is neutralized, the neutralizer is preferably added prior to addition of other ingredients. For hair spray products, the composition is packaged in conventional mechanical pump spray devices, or alternatively, in the case of aerosol sprays products, the composition is packaged in conventional aerosol canisters along with an appropriate propellant system (also applicable for mousses). Other hair styling compositions including tonics, lotions, and gels, are typically packaged in a conventional bottle or tube. High water products, containing less than about 50%> VOC, such as mousse (16%) VOC or less) and gel (6% VOC or less), and containing silicone grafted hair styling copolymer derived from monomers containing acid functional groups are preferably prepared in the following manner. The silicone grafted polymer is dissolved in the compatible, organic solvent, e.g., ethanol or isopropanol, prior to neutralization of the polymer. The solvent used to dissolve the polymer should not contain significant amounts of water and is preferably essentially free of water. If water is added prematurely, either before neutralization or before less than 10% neutralization of the polymer (e.g., neutralization of less than 50%> of the acid groups where acid groups are 20%> of the polymer structure),the polymer tends to precipitate as a white insoluble mass. Attempts to complete neutralization after precipitation are generally unsuccessful. Where water is added after neutralization has occurred, the film quality produced from these modified polymers tends to have a desirable slick and lubricious surface (without intending to be bound by theory, this is usually indicative of silicone present at the surface). Preferred compositions are substantially clear to translucent in appearance. The composition is also stable, preferably retaining within about 10%> of its initial clarity with no noticeable precipitate formation for a period of about 6 months or more. Completion of the neutralization reaction is important for good product clarity, good shampoo removability, and good stability of the composition. However, in compositions having low solvent levels and an effective level of polymer (l-5%o), e.g., in typical mousse and gel formulas, the viscosity of the system can increase dramatically with neutralization. This viscosity increase can hinder completion of the neutralization reaction. Therefore, steps should be taken to ensure that the neutralization reaction is complete. For example, this can be ensured by one or more of the following techniques: 1. When the viscosity of the system becomes very thick (typically when about 10%) of the polymer has been neutralized), a portion of the water (preferably a minimum 27% of the batch in 6%o VOC systems and minimum 10% of the batch in 16% VOC systems) can be added to the system. The water is used in an amount sufficient to lower the viscosity enough in order to achieve good mixing. It is preferred from the standpoint of manufacturing efficiency to add the water portion in one step. However, the water may be added in small increments (e.g., 5% of the batch water), between incremental additions of neutralizer. For example, after the first neutralizer addition (sufficient to neutralize up to about 10%> of the polymer) is added with vigorous agitation, then 5%ι of the batch water can be added, then enough neutralizer to neutralize another 2-4%o of the polymer can be added, then another 5%> of the batch water addition can be made. This process continues until all the neutralizer is added to the batch. Application of high shear rates to the system, such as can be generated by a Teckmar type milling device, may also be utilized to increase the mass transfer rate, thereby resulting in faster reaction completeness. 2. When a high viscosity has been reached a specially designed high viscosity mixing device, e.g., a dough mixer, may be used. The system is mixed for many hours until reaction completeness can verified analytically (titration, FTIR, or pH), typically up to about 12 hours. A nitrogen blanketed, enclosed system or the like is preferably used to minimize solvent loss during the mix time. 3. Use specialized pressure vessel equipment, heat and agitation. Heat is to be applied while avoiding evaporation of the solvent. Therefore, a nitrogen blanketed pressure vessel should be employed. The first and third methods above are preferred as being the most efficient. In the absence of the availability of heated pressure vessels (i.e. ambient conditions), the first method is preferred. In addition, where the composition contains hydrophobic, oily components such as perfume or isoparaffins, steps must be taken to ensure good emulsification of the hydrophobic component in the composition. However, emulsion compositions containing alcohols can be difficult to formulate. Some hydrophobic components such as those mentioned above are relatively difficult to emulsify, typically requiring very high levels of surfactants in order to create reasonably clear systems (which are typically microemulsions). These high levels of surfactants can over plasticize the silicone-grafted polymer, making it unacceptably sticky. It has been found in the present invention that the hydrophobic components can be readily emulsified by the use of a combination of organic and inorganic neutralizers. Without intending to be limited by theory, it is believed that this combination of neutralizers help the polymer itself to function as an emulsifier by imparting surfactant-like qualities to the polymer, (i.e., a portion of the polymer is relatively hydrophobic and a portion of the polymer is relatively hydrophilic). The neutralization system comprises a fatty amine neutralizer (preferably selected from dimethyl lauryl amine, dimethyl myristyl amine, amine methyl propanol, dimethylstearyl amine, TEA, and mixtures thereof, more preferably dimethyl lauryl amine, dimethyl myristyl amine and mixtures thereof), in combination with an inorganic neutralizer (preferably metal hydroxides, more preferably NaOH and/or KOH, most preferably NaOH). The amine neutralized acid groups tend to be more hydrophobic than the inorganic neutralized acid groups. Without intending to be bound by theory, it is believed that the amine groups emulsify the hydrophobic components and the inorganic groups provide sufficient water solubility/compatibility and shampoo removability. When such dual neutralizers are employed, the order of component addition and other process variables become important for preparing the clearest, most stable product. The preferred order of addition and process is as follows: With vigorous agitation: 1. Completely dissolve the polymer in a compatible solvent system containing the water soluble, organic solvent (e.g., ethanol or isopropanol). 2. Add the fatty amine neutralizer in a weight ratio of from 1-6 amine to hydrophobic components to 1-2 amine to hydrophobic components. 3. Add the hydrophobic components. 4. Add any plasticizers. 5. Add the inorganic neutralizer at a level that represents 10%> - 20% of the polymer (or 50 - 100%) of the available acid groups in a polymer with 20%> acrylic acid). 6. When the system becomes very thick (similar to peanut butter), mix the system for at least 10 minutes. Then add water to the mixture in the manner described above, preferably as described for the preferred embodiment of the first method. 7. Mill the system with a high shear mixer such as made by Teckmar for at least 10 minutes. 8. Add the balance of the water and other ingredients required to make the final composition. Gels are preferably dearated, more preferably before the addition of any thickeners. Whether the hair styling polymer is a silicone graft polymer or other polymer, it is important to add the silicone emulsions to the system when some water (or other polar material), preferably at least about 0.5%> of mix is present. The water helps to maintain the stability of the silicone emulsions in the composition. It is preferred to premix the silicone polyether with the silicone emulsion prior to making the final compositions hereof. Where the silicone polyether is not dispersible in the emulsion, it is preferably mixed in about an equal portion of water containing from 10-50%> C1-C3 monohydric alcohol, preferably ethanol, prior to combination with the silicone emulsion. This pre-mix is then added to the other ingredients of the composition which have preferably been pre-mixed. For high monohydric alcohol systems (> about 80%o), it is also desirable to premix the silicone emulsion with the silicone polyether prior to combination with the alcohol. Additionally, it is desirable to not impart high shear rates to the composition once the silicone emulsion has been added, since shear might break the emulsion. Also, the silicone emulsion is typically added after any thickeners or surfactants. Method of Use The compositions of the present invention are used in conventional ways in the intended applications, including hair care, skin care and nail care applications. Hair styling applications generally involve application of an effective amount of the product to dry, slightly damp, or wet hair before and/or after the hair is dried and arranged to a desired style. Application of the product is normally effected by spraying or atomizing the product using an appropriate device, e.g. a mechanical pump spray, a pressurized aerosol container, or other appropriate means. Other hair styling compositions including tonics, lotions, and gels, are typically dispensed from a conventional bottle or tube, and applied directly to the hair or first dispensed to the hand and then to the hair. The composition is then dried or allowed to dry. By "effective amount" is meant an amount sufficient to provide the hair hold and style benefits desired. In general, from about 0.5g to about 30g of product is applied to the hair, depending upon the particular product formulation, dispenser type, length of hair, and type of hair style.
