Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
         [0001]    Many cosmetic compositions are also cleansing compositions and thus have a surfactant base. Thus, there is a need for surfactant based systems from which cosmetically active ingredients can be efficiently deposited onto skin or hair. Many current surfactant based systems do not allow for such deposition.  
           [0002]    There is also a need for this deposition across a whole range of cosmetic compositions which include hair shampoos, hair conditioners, sunscreens, deodorants, antiperspirants, insect repellants, lipsticks, lip balms, mousses, skin moisturizing compositions, anti-wrinkling compositions, antibacterial compositions, anti-fungal compositions, topical anesthetics; skin rash, skin disease, and dermatitis medications; anti-itch compositions, acne treatment preparations, burn relief medications, sunburn relief medications; medications for the relief of seborrhea, psoriasis, and dandruff; skin cleansing compositions, and compositions for relief from insect bites.  
           [0003]    The present invention provides such surfactant bases and cosmetic compositions.  
           [0004]    Publications, which relate to the invention, are as follows:  
           [0005]    WO 9517880 discloses mild, high lathering shampoo compositions with high deposition of functional materials, the shampoo compositions comprising (a) from about 5% to about 40% by weight surfactant system (i) from 80% to 99% by weight of the surfactant system, anionic surfactants which are alkyl ethoxylated sulfates and alkyl sulfates in a ratio between about 1:1 to about 1:0 and (ii) about 1% to about 20% by weight of the surfactant system, polyhydroxy fatty acid amide surfactants; 0.05% functional materials; 35% to about 95% water;  
           [0006]    WO 9217154 discloses hair conditioning compositions containing a detersive surfactant component, a silicone hair conditioning agent, water and preferably a suspending agent for the silicone conditioning agent. The detersive surfactant component comprises at least in part polyethylene glycol/glycerol fatty ester nonionic surfactant.  
           [0007]    RU 2129860 C1 discloses a shading shampoo which contains surface active substances including nonionizing and ionogenic substances, anionic substances, softening components, color, flavor, water. Nonionizing substances additionally have ethoxymonoethanolamide of synthetic fat acids of fraction C10—C16 -syntamide-5. Glycerine or carbamine is used as a softening component. Shampoo additionally has carboxymethylcellulose and formalin. The components are taken in determined ratio.  
         SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
         [0008]    The present invention relates to rinse-off cleansing compositions, especially cleansing compositions containing conditioning oils and cationic conditioning polymers. Examples of such compositions are conditioning shampoos for cleaning and conditioning hair, and body washes for cleaning and conditioning skin.  
           [0009]    When washing hair or skin with conventional, non-conditioning cleansing compositions the natural oils are removed together with unwanted oils and dirt. When excessive amounts of natural oils are removed, especially due to frequent washing, the hair or skin becomes dry. Such dryness causes hair to become raspy, less easy to comb and to build-up static that results in “flyaway”. In the case of skin, the dryness results in enhanced removal of moisture and, subsequently, cracking of the skin.  
           [0010]    Hair and skin conditioners have been developed in order to restore the condition of the hair or skin, from the damage caused by washing, to its pre-washed or normal state. However, use of such products involves expensive and time-consuming additional steps.  
           [0011]    Non-volatile silicone conditioning oils can be efficiently deposited onto skin and hair by directly incorporating them into the cleansing composition which is generally a mixture of anionic and nonionic/ amphoteric detersive surfactants. This process usually results in production of dispersions of silicone oils with a particle sizes of greater than 2 μm. Such large particles of silicone and hydrocarbon oils have a detrimental influence on the lathering characteristics of the cleansing composition due to ‘anti-foam’ effect.  
           [0012]    Incorporation of silicone oil as a preformed aqueous emulsion into the cleansing composition enables attainment of particle size of less than 2 μm that has minimal effect on the lathering characteristics of the cleansing composition. Incorporation of silicone oils as a preformed emulsion also renders manufacturing of the compositions easier than when they are directly added into the composition. However, the efficiency of deposition on hair or skin of such small particles of silicone or hydrocarbon oils is generally very poor and the cleansing compositions containing dispersions of such small particles of silicone or hydrocarbon oils provide minimal or no conditioning.  
           [0013]    Reid and Murray (U.S. Pat. No. 5,085,857) have disclosed cleansing compositions comprising a combination of a particular type of cationic conditioning polymer (guar hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride) and an aqueous emulsion of non-volatile silicone oils of particle size less than 2 μm. These compositions impart improved conditioning benefit to hair with none of the undesirable dulling effects or greasy build-up seen with other conditioning products, and without a need for an expensive and inconvenient two-step washing and conditioning process. These compositions produce a creamy, copious lather.  
           [0014]    We, unexpectedly, have found that by using a specific type of nonionic surfactant, namely alkoxylated nonionic surfactants, along with anionic surfactants, cationic polymer and silicone emulsions, high levels of silicone deposition, and hence conditioning, can be achieved. Additionally, we found that the efficiency of silicone deposition goes through a maximum at an optimum level of alkoxylation of the surfactant mixture. The optimum number of alkoxylation may depend on the specific surfactant mixture.  
           [0015]    Compositions of the invention may comprise a mixture of:  
           [0016]    a) from about 2 to about 40% by weight of a surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic, amphoteric, non-ionic surfactants, and mixtures thereof;  
           [0017]    b) from about 0.01 to about 20% by weight of a co-surfactant which is an alkoxylated nonionic surfactant;  
           [0018]    c) from about 0.001 to about 10% by weight of a cationic polymer;  
           [0019]    d) from about 0.01 to about 30% by weight of water insoluble components with an average particle size of less than about 2μm; and  
           [0020]    e) from 0.001 to 10% by weight of an anti-dandruff agent.  
           [0021]    The invention also comprises a method of treating the hair and/or skin which involves contacting the hair and/or skin with a composition of the invention.  
         DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION  
         [0022]    As used herein % means weight % of the total composition unless otherwise specified. Degrees are in degrees Celsius unless otherwise specified. As used herein “turbid” means that a dilution of a premixture of a, b, and c above, (that is, in the absence of d)—‘water insoluble components’) with water at a ratio of premixture: water at about 1:10 measures at least about 3 NTU using the following protocol.  
           [0023]    Turbidity protocol:  
           [0024]    a) Background turbidity (Tb)  
           [0025]    Fill the sample cell (Hach reference: 20849-00) with said premixture in the absence of ‘water insoluble components’ and leave it standing for 24 hours to release any trapped air. Turbidity (NTU) is then measured on a Hach RATIO/XR with the measurement being taken at 5 minutes after inserting the sample cell into the turbidity meter.  
           [0026]    b) Dilution turbidity (Td)  
           [0027]    3 g of said premixture above, in the absence of ‘water insoluble components’, and 27 g of soft water are added in a sample cell (Hach reference: 20849-00). The mixture is immediately mixed vigorously using a magnetic stirrer for 30 seconds and then sonicated for 1 minute (Sonicator used: BRANSON 1210). The sample cell is inserted into a turbidity meter (Hach RATIO/XR turbidmeter) immediately and the dilution turbidity measurement, Td (NTU) is taken at 5 minutes after insertion of the sample cell into the Hach RATIO/XR.  
           [0028]    c) The turbidity value (in NTU units) quoted in this application is calculated as Td-1/10 Tb.

           [0040]    e) a water soluble or insoluble anti-dandruff agent  
           [0041]    What follows is a description of the ingredients which may be used in the compositions of the invention.  
           [0042]    Surfactants  
           [0043]    The compositions according to the invention comprise a surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic, nonionic, amphoteric surfactants, and mixtures thereof.

           [0049]    For the purpose of this invention, alkoxylated nonionic surfactants, which are a class of nonionic surfactants, are defined specifically as co-surfactants. Again, for the purpose of this invention only, alkoxylated nonionic surfactants, which are co-surfactants, are differentiated from the other nonionic surfactants defined previously, in that alkoxylated nonionic surfactants, which are co-surfactants, contain at least 2 or more alkylene oxide groups. (By contrast, nonionic surfactants with EO less than 2 are considered to be surfactants as described in the paragraphs above.) Examples of alkoxylated nonionic surfactants include, but are not limited to, condensation products of linear or branched fatty chain alcohols, acids, phenols, esters, glycerides, amines and amides. The preferred co-surfactants are ethoxylated nonionic surfactants with ethylene oxide (EO) groups in the range of 2 -12 and most preferably from 2 to 6. Especially preferred nonionic surfactants are ethoxylated fatty amides with the (EO) groups in the range of 2-12, most preferably 2 to 6.  
           [0050]    The co-surfactants are present preferably in the range of 0.05 to 20% by weight, more preferably from 0.1 to 10% by weight and most preferably from 0.2 to 5% by weight.

           [0067]    Optional Ingredients  
           [0068]    Optional ingredients that can be used in compositions of the invention are now described.  
           [0069]    Optional ingredients can include any ingredients which are customarily included in cosmetic products and which do not interfere with the deposition properties of the surfactant system.

       [0079]    [0079]                                                                                       Ingredient   wt %                Formula #   16   17                            ALS   6.0   6.0           AL(EO) 1 S   6.0   6.0           Ammonium chloride   1.0   1.0           CMEA   1.8   1.2           CM(EO) 5 A   0.6           Jaguar C13S   0.1   0.1           JJ 555   2.0   2.0           Propylene glycol   0.5   0.5           Carbapol (thickening agent)   0.4   0.4           Ethylene glygol distearate (pearling agent)   0.1   0.1           Other minors (Fragrance, preservatives)   1.0   1.0           Deionized water   to 100   to 100           Si on hair, ppm   260   445                                    
         [0080]    This example shows that the general trend seen in Example 3 holds when a different dimethiconol emulsion other than DC1784 is used. The different dimethiconal emulsion used here is JJ 555.  
         [0081]    On a laboratory bench scale, compositions of the invention are made by the following procedure:  
         [0082]    For preparing a 1 kg batch, 100 grams of soft water are weighed into a beaker provided with an overhead mixer. Desired amounts of anionic and nonionic-co-surfactants are then slowly added and the contents well mixed. If the non-ionic co-surfactant is in a solid form at ambient temperature, the batch is then heated to about 70-80° C. to ensure a good mixing and then cooled back to ambient temperature. Any loss of water is then made-up. A 2% Carbapol solution was subsequently added and mixed well, and this is followed by the addition of cationic guar dispersion in propylene glycol (1:5 guar/PG). Non-volatile silicone emulsion, fragrances and other minor ingredients are then added to the mix. Salt solution and remainder of soft water are subsequently added to the contents.
