Title: Sulfate free composition with enhanced deposition of scalp active

Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention is directed to a personal care composition containing sulfate free surfactants in combination with a cationic polymer and an alkali swellable emulsion polymer. Upon dilution, these polymers will complex and deliver to scalp and hair antidandruff active deposition benefits with resulting antidandruff efficacy. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Anti-dandruff shampoos have been widely used to treat dandruff and clean hair and scalp with predominately sulfated surfactants. These sulfated surfactants, although clean effectively, may cause irritation to consumers with sensitive scalp skin. Therefore, less irritating surfactants such as sulfate free surfactants, may be a better alternative for antidandruff shampoo formulation. In general, anti-dandruff shampoos are formulated with anti-dandruff agents in combination with surfactants and aqueous systems that are intended to deposit the anti-dandruff agents on the scalp. The anti-dandruff agents can be insoluble particulates such as zinc pyrithione, sulfur, and/or surfactant soluble substances such as climbazole or piroctone olamine. An important aspect of the anti-dandruff shampoos is its ability to enable enough deposition of the anti-dandruff agent on the scalp to effectively kill and inhibit growth of the fungus  Malassezia . Within a sulfate free shampoo system, it has been challenging to deliver anti-dandruff agents where it can deposit on scalp more than 1-2% of the quantity of the agent that is present in the product, while the remaining 98-99% of the antidandruff active in the formulas is rinsed away. Current high efficacy antidandruff shampoo formulations contain both active zinc pyrithione and potentiator zinc carbonate, hereafter referred to as potentiated zinc pyrithione or potentiated ZPT. The potentiator enables zinc stability and very effective/efficient fungal efficacy from these formulation types. Therefore, formulations considered non potentiators, not containing zinc carbonate, require much more active deposition on scalp and hair to match the efficacy of potentiated zinc pyrithione. The formation of coacervate via cationic polymer interaction with anionic surfactant upon dilution has been the classic way to deposit insoluble antidandruff actives to the hair and scalp. Within a sulfate free shampoo, it has been difficult to generate a coacervate which would be adhesive enough to entrap antidandruff active and deposit effectively to hair and scalp. Therefore, the need for a more effective deposition mechanism of the antidandruff active from a less harsh sulfate free surfactant containing shampoo is required. 
     The present invention has surprisingly found that shampoos comprised of sulfate free surfactants with cationic polymer and an alkali swellable emulsion polymer can deliver increased quantities of antidandruff zinc pyrithione active to the scalp that results in highly effective antifungal scalp efficacy when compared to sulfated antidandruff shampoo with potentiated zinc pyrithione. In addition, such compositions have also been found to provide consumer perceived antidandruff health benefits. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention is directed to a personal care composition comprising from about 15% to about 22% of one or more sulfate free surfactants; from about 0.1% to about 10% of one or more scalp active; from about 0.1% to about 1.2% of a cationic polymers having a molecular weight in the range of 50,000 to less than or equal to 1.8 million and a charge density of about 0.5 to about 1.7 meq/g, from about 0.1% to about 1.2% of a rheology modifier and having a pH of about 5 to about 7 and having a viscosity of &gt;about 5000 cps.

     The concentration of the scalp active may be in the range of from about 0.1% to about 10%; from about 2% to about 5%; and from about 1% to about 2%. 
     Pyridinethione particulates are suitable particulate anti-dandruff actives for use in composition of the present invention.

     The composition may comprise an effective amount of a zinc-containing layered material. The composition may comprise from about 0.001% to about 10%, or from about 0.01% to about 7%, or from about 0.1% to about 5% of a zinc-containing layered material, by total weight of the composition. 
     Zinc-containing layered materials may be those with crystal growth primarily occurring in two dimensions. It is conventional to describe layer structures as not only those in which all the atoms are incorporated in well-defined layers, but also those in which there are ions or molecules between the layers, called gallery ions (A.F. Wells “Structural Inorganic Chemistry” Clarendon Press, 1975). Zinc-containing layered materials (ZLMs) may have zinc incorporated in the layers and/or be components of the gallery ions. The following classes of ZLMs represent relatively common examples of the general category and are not intended to be limiting as to the broader scope of materials which fit this definition. 
     Many ZLMs occur naturally as minerals. The ZLM may be selected from the group consisting of: hydrozincite (zinc carbonate hydroxide), basic zinc carbonate, aurichalcite (zinc copper carbonate hydroxide), rosasite (copper zinc carbonate hydroxide), and mixtures thereof. Related minerals that are zinc-containing may also be included in the composition. Natural ZLMs can also occur wherein anionic layer species such as clay-type minerals (e.g., phyllosilicates) contain ion-exchanged zinc gallery ions. All of these natural materials can also be obtained synthetically or formed in situ in a composition or during a production process. 
     Another common class of ZLMs, which are often, but not always, synthetic, is layered double hydroxides. The ZLM may be a layered double hydroxide conforming to the formula [M 2+   1-x M 3+   x (OH) 2 ] x+ A m−   x/m .nH 2 O wherein some or all of the divalent ions (M 2+ ) are zinc ions (Crepaldi, E L, Pava, P C, Tronto, J, Valim, J B  J. Colloid Interfac. Sci.  2002, 248, 429-42). 
     Yet another class of ZLMs can be prepared called hydroxy double salts (Morioka, H., Tagaya, H., Karasu, M, Kadokawa, J, Chiba, K  Inorg. Chem.  1999, 38, 4211-6). The ZLM may be a hydroxy double salt conforming to the formula [M 2+   1-x M 2+   x (OH) 3(1-y) ] + A n−   (1=3y)/n .nH 2 O where the two metal ions (M 2+ ) may be the same or different. If they are the same and represented by zinc, the formula simplifies to [Zn 1+x (OH) 2 ] 2x+ 2x A − .nH 2 O. This latter formula represents (where x=0.4) materials such as zinc hydroxychloride and zinc hydroxynitrate. THe ZLM may be zinc hydroxychloride and/or zinc hydroxynitrate. These are related to hydrozincite as well wherein a divalent anion replace the monovalent anion. These materials can also be formed in situ in a composition or in or during a production process. 
     The composition may comprise basic zinc carbonate. Commercially available sources of basic zinc carbonate include Zinc Carbonate Basic (Cater Chemicals: Bensenville, Ill., USA), Zinc Carbonate (Shepherd Chemicals: Norwood, Ohio, USA), Zinc Carbonate (CPS Union Corp.: New York, N.Y., USA), Zinc Carbonate (Elementis Pigments: Durham, UK), and Zinc Carbonate AC (Bruggemann Chemical: Newtown Square, Pa., USA). Basic zinc carbonate, which also may be referred to commercially as “Zinc Carbonate” or “Zinc Carbonate Basic” or “Zinc Hydroxy Carbonate”, is a synthetic version consisting of materials similar to naturally occurring hydrozincite. The idealized stoichiometry is represented by Zn 5 (OH) 6 (CO 3 ) 2  but the actual stoichiometric ratios can vary slightly and other impurities may be incorporated in the crystal lattice. 
     The composition may contain a zinc-containing layered material and a pyrithione or polyvalent metal salt of pyrithione, the ratio of zinc-containing layered material to pyrithione or a polyvalent metal salt of pyrithione is from about 5:100 to about 10:1, or from about 2:10 to about 5:1, or from about 1:2 to about 3:1. 
     A. Detersive Surfactant 
     The cleansing compositions described herein can include one or more surfactants in the surfactant system. The one or more surfactants can be substantially free of sulfate-based surfactants. As can be appreciated, surfactants provide a cleaning benefit to soiled articles such as hair, skin, and hair follicles by facilitating the removal of oil and other soils. Surfactants generally facilitate such cleaning due to their amphiphilic nature which allows for the surfactants to break up, and form micelles around, oil and other soils which can then be rinsed out, thereby removing them from the soiled article. Suitable surfactants for a cleansing composition can include anionic moieties to allow for the formation of a coacervate with a cationic polymer. The surfactant can be selected from anionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, zwitterionic surfactants, non-ionic surfactants, and combinations thereof. 
     Cleansing compositions typically employ sulfate-based surfactant systems (such as, but not limited to, sodium lauryl sulfate) because of their effectiveness in lather production, stability, clarity and cleansing. The cleansing compositions described herein are substantially free of sulfate-based surfactants. “Substantially free” of sulfate based surfactants as used herein means from about 0 wt % to about 3 wt %, alternatively from about 0 wt % to about 2 wt %, alternatively from about 0 wt % to about 1 wt %, alternatively from about 0 wt % to about 0.5 wt %, alternatively from about 0 wt % to about 0.25 wt %, alternatively from about 0 wt % to about 0.1 wt %, alternatively from about 0 wt % to about 0.05 wt %, alternatively from about 0 wt % to about 0.01 wt %, alternatively from about 0 wt % to about 0.001 wt %, and/or alternatively free of sulfates.

Additionally, the cationic polymer can be a mixture of cationic polymers. 
     The personal care composition may comprise a cationic guar polymer, which is a cationically substituted galactomannan (guar) gum derivatives. Guar gum for use in preparing these guar gum derivatives is typically obtained as a naturally occurring material from the seeds of the guar plant. The guar molecule itself is a straight chain mannan, which is branched at regular intervals with single membered galactose units on alternative mannose units. The mannose units are linked to each other by means of β(1-4) glycosidic linkages. The galactose branching arises by way of an α(1-6) linkage. Cationic derivatives of the guar gums are obtained by reaction between the hydroxyl groups of the polygalactomannan and reactive quaternary ammonium compounds.

     The personal care compositions of the present invention may comprise a galactomannan polymer derivative having a mannose to galactose ratio of greater than 2:1 on a monomer to monomer basis, the galactomannan polymer derivative selected from the group consisting of a cationic galactomannan polymer derivative and an amphoteric galactomannan polymer derivative having a net positive charge. As used herein, the term “cationic galactomannan” refers to a galactomannan polymer to which a cationic group is added. The term “amphoteric galactomannan” refers to a galactomannan polymer to which a cationic group and an anionic group are added such that the polymer has a net positive charge. 
     Galactomannan polymers are present in the endosperm of seeds of the Leguminosae family Galactomannan polymers are made up of a combination of mannose monomers and galactose monomers. The galactomannan molecule is a straight chain mannan branched at regular intervals with single membered galactose units on specific mannose units. The mannose units are linked to each other by means of β (1-4) glycosidic linkages. The galactose branching arises by way of an α (1-6) linkage. The ratio of mannose monomers to galactose monomers varies according to the species of the plant and also is affected by climate. Non Guar Galactomannan polymer derivatives of the present invention have a ratio of mannose to galactose of greater than 2:1 on a monomer to monomer basis. Suitable ratios of mannose to galactose can be greater than about 3:1, and the ratio of mannose to galactose can be greater than about 4:1. Analysis of mannose to galactose ratios is well known in the art and is typically based on the measurement of the galactose content. 
     The gum for use in preparing the non-guar galactomannan polymer derivatives is typically obtained as naturally occurring material such as seeds or beans from plants. Examples of various non-guar galactomannan polymers include but are not limited to Tara gum (3 parts mannose/1 part galactose), Locust bean or Carob (4 parts mannose/1 part galactose), and  Cassia  gum (5 parts mannose/1 part galactose). 
     The non-guar galactomannan polymer derivatives may have a M. Wt. from about 1,000 to about 10,000,000, and/or from about 5,000 to about 3,000,000. 
     The personal care compositions of the invention can also include galactomannan polymer derivatives which have a cationic charge density from about 0.5 meq/g to about 7 meq/g. The galactomannan polymer derivatives can have a cationic charge density from about 1 meq/g to about 5 meq/g. The degree of substitution of the cationic groups onto the galactomannan structure should be sufficient to provide the requisite cationic charge density. 
     The galactomannan polymer derivative can be a cationic derivative of the non-guar galactomannan polymer, which is obtained by reaction between the hydroxyl groups of the polygalactomannan polymer and reactive quaternary ammonium compounds. Suitable quaternary ammonium compounds for use in forming the cationic galactomannan polymer derivatives include those conforming to the general formulas 1-5, as defined above. 
     Cationic non-guar galactomannan polymer derivatives formed from the reagents described above are represented by the general formula 6: 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     wherein R is the gum. The cationic galactomannan derivative can be a gum hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride, which can be more specifically represented by the general formula 7: 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     Alternatively the galactomannan polymer derivative can be an amphoteric galactomannan polymer derivative having a net positive charge, obtained when the cationic galactomannan polymer derivative further comprises an anionic group. 
     The cationic non-guar galactomannan can have a ratio of mannose to galactose is greater than about 4:1, a molecular weight of about 1,000 g/mol to about 10,000,000 g/mol, and/or from about 50,000 g/mol to about 1,000,000 g/mol, and/or from about 100,000 g/mol to about 900,000 g/mol, and/or from about 150,000 g/mol to about 400,000 g/mol and a cationic charge density from about 1 meq/g to about 5 meq/g, and/or from 2 meq/g to about 4 meq/g and can be derived from a  cassia  plant. 
     The personal care compositions can comprise water-soluble cationically modified starch polymers. As used herein, the term “cationically modified starch” refers to a starch to which a cationic group is added prior to degradation of the starch to a smaller molecular weight, or wherein a cationic group is added after modification of the starch to achieve a desired molecular weight. The definition of the term “cationically modified starch” also includes amphoterically modified starch. The term “amphoterically modified starch” refers to a starch hydrolysate to which a cationic group and an anionic group are added. 
     The cationically modified starch polymers disclosed herein have a percent of bound nitrogen of from about 0.5% to about 4%. 
     The cationically modified starch polymers for use in the personal care compositions can have a molecular weight about 850,000 g/mol to about 1,500,000 g/mol and/or from about 900,000 g/mol to about 1,500,000 g/mol. 
     The personal care compositions can include cationically modified starch polymers which have a charge density of from about 0.2 meq/g to about 5 meq/g, and/or from about 0.2 meq/g to about 2 meq/g. The chemical modification to obtain such a charge density includes, but is not limited to, the addition of amino and/or ammonium groups into the starch molecules. Non-limiting examples of these ammonium groups may include substituents such as hydroxypropyl trimmonium chloride, trimethylhydroxypropyl ammonium chloride, dimethylstearylhydroxypropyl ammonium chloride, and dimethyldodecylhydroxypropyl ammonium chloride. See Solarek, D. B., Cationic Starches in Modified Starches: Properties and Uses, Wurzburg, 0. B., Ed., CRC Press, Inc., Boca Raton, Fla. 1986, pp 113-125. The cationic groups may be added to the starch prior to degradation to a smaller molecular weight or the cationic groups may be added after such modification. 
     The cationically modified starch polymers generally have a degree of substitution of a cationic group from about 0.2 to about 2.5. As used herein, the “degree of substitution” of the cationically modified starch polymers is an average measure of the number of hydroxyl groups on each anhydroglucose unit which is derivatized by substituent groups. Since each anhydroglucose unit has three potential hydroxyl groups available for substitution, the maximum possible degree of substitution is 3. The degree of substitution is expressed as the number of moles of substituent groups per mole of anhydroglucose unit, on a molar average basis. The degree of substitution may be determined using proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (“.sup.1H NMR”) methods well known in the art. Suitable .sup.1H NMR techniques include those described in “Observation on NMR Spectra of Starches in Dimethyl Sulfoxide, Iodine-Complexing, and Solvating in Water-Dimethyl Sulfoxide”, Qin-Ji Peng and Arthur S. Perlin, Carbohydrate Research, 160 (1987), 57-72; and “An Approach to the Structural Analysis of Oligosaccharides by NMR Spectroscopy”, J. Howard Bradbury and J. Grant Collins, Carbohydrate Research, 71, (1979), 15-25. 
     The source of starch before chemical modification can be chosen from a variety of sources such as tubers, legumes, cereal, and grains. Non-limiting examples of this source starch may include corn starch, wheat starch, rice starch, waxy corn starch, oat starch, cassava starch, waxy barley, waxy rice starch, glutenous rice starch, sweet rice starch, amioca, potato starch, tapioca starch, oat starch, sago starch, sweet rice, or mixtures thereof. 
     The cationically modified starch polymers can be selected from degraded cationic maize starch, cationic tapioca, cationic potato starch, and mixtures thereof. Alternatively, the cationically modified starch polymers are cationic corn starch and cationic tapioca. 
     The starch, prior to degradation or after modification to a smaller molecular weight, may comprise one or more additional modifications. For example, these modifications may include cross-linking, stabilization reactions, phosphorylations, and hydrolyzations. Stabilization reactions may include alkylation and esterification. 
     The cationically modified starch polymers may be incorporated into the composition in the form of hydrolyzed starch (e.g., acid, enzyme, or alkaline degradation), oxidized starch (e.g., peroxide, peracid, hypochlorite, alkaline, or any other oxidizing agent), physically/mechanically degraded starch (e.g., via the thermo-mechanical energy input of the processing equipment), or combinations thereof. 
     An optimal form of the starch is one which is readily soluble in water and forms a substantially clear (% Transmittance of about 80 at 600 nm) solution in water. The transparency of the composition is measured by Ultra-Violet/Visible (UV/VIS) spectrophotometry, which determines the absorption or transmission of UV/VIS light by a sample, using a Gretag Macbeth Colorimeter Color i 5 according to the related instructions. A light wavelength of 600 nm has been shown to be adequate for characterizing the degree of clarity of cosmetic compositions. 
     Suitable cationically modified starch for use in personal care compositions are available from known starch suppliers. Also suitable for use in personal care compositions are nonionic modified starch that can be further derivatized to a cationically modified starch as is known in the art. Other suitable modified starch starting materials may be quaternized, as is known in the art, to produce the cationically modified starch polymer suitable for use in personal care compositions. 
     Starch Degradation Procedure: a starch slurry can be prepared by mixing granular starch in water. The temperature is raised to about 35° C. An aqueous solution of potassium permanganate is then added at a concentration of about 50 ppm based on starch. The pH is raised to about 11.5 with sodium hydroxide and the slurry is stirred sufficiently to prevent settling of the starch. Then, about a 30% solution of hydrogen peroxide diluted in water is added to a level of about 1% of peroxide based on starch. The pH of about 11.5 is then restored by adding additional sodium hydroxide. The reaction is completed over about a 1 to about 20 hour period. The mixture is then neutralized with dilute hydrochloric acid. The degraded starch is recovered by filtration followed by washing and drying.

     The cationic polymer described herein can aid in providing damaged hair, particularly chemically treated hair, with a surrogate hydrophobic F-layer. The microscopically thin F-layer provides natural weatherproofing, while helping to seal in moisture and prevent further damage. Chemical treatments damage the hair cuticle and strip away its protective F-layer. As the F-layer is stripped away, the hair becomes increasingly hydrophilic. It has been found that when lyotropic liquid crystals are applied to chemically treated hair, the hair becomes more hydrophobic and more virgin-like, in both look and feel. Without being limited to any theory, it is believed that the lyotropic liquid crystal complex creates a hydrophobic layer or film, which coats the hair fibers and protects the hair, much like the natural F-layer protects the hair. The hydrophobic layer returns the hair to a generally virgin-like, healthier state. Lyotropic liquid crystals are formed by combining the synthetic cationic polymers described herein with the aforementioned anionic detersive surfactant component of the personal care composition. The synthetic cationic polymer has a relatively high charge density. It should be noted that some synthetic polymers having a relatively high cationic charge density do not form lyotropic liquid crystals, primarily due to their abnormal linear charge densities. Such synthetic cationic polymers are described in WO 94/06403 to Reich et al. The synthetic polymers described herein can be formulated in a stable personal care composition that provides improved conditioning performance, with respect to damaged hair.

Wt. of from about 1,000 to about 5,000,000, and/or from about 10,000 to about 1,500,000, and/or from about 100,000 to about 1,500,000. 
     In the invention cationic synthetic polymers that provide enhanced conditioning and deposition of benefit agents but do not necessarily form lyotropic liquid crystals may have a cationic charge density of from about 0.7 meq/gm to about 7 meq/gm, and/or from about 0.8 meq/gm to about 5 meq/gm, and/or from about 1.0 meq/gm to about 3 meq/gm. The polymers may also have a M. Wt. of from about 1,000 to about 1,500,000, from about 10,000 to about 1,500,000, and from about 100,000 to about 1,500,000.

The CTFA Cosmetic Ingredient Handbook, Tenth Edition (published by the Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association, Inc., Washington, D.C.) (2004) (hereinafter “CTFA”), describes a wide variety of non-limiting materials that can be added to the composition herein. 
     1. Conditioning Agents 
     The conditioning agent of the personal care compositions can be a silicone conditioning agent. The silicone conditioning agent may comprise volatile silicone, non-volatile silicone, or combinations thereof. The concentration of the silicone conditioning agent typically ranges from about 0.01% to about 10%, by weight of the composition, from about 0.1% to about 8%, from about 0.1% to about 5%, and/or from about 0.2% to about 3%. Non-limiting examples of suitable silicone conditioning agents, and optional suspending agents for the silicone, are described in U.S. Reissue Pat. No. 34,584, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,104,646, and 5,106,609, which descriptions are incorporated herein by reference. 
     The silicone conditioning agents for use in the compositions of the present invention can have a viscosity, as measured at 25° C., from about 20 to about 2,000,000 centistokes (“csk”), from about 1,000 to about 1,800,000 csk, from about 10,000 to about 1,500,000 csk, and/or from about 20,000 to about 1,500,000 csk. 
     The dispersed silicone conditioning agent particles typically have a volume average particle diameter ranging from about 0.01 micrometer to about 60 micrometer.

     Additional material on silicones including sections discussing silicone fluids, gums, and resins, as well as manufacture of silicones, are found in  Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Engineering , vol. 15, 2d ed., pp 204-308, John Wiley &amp; Sons, Inc. (1989), incorporated herein by reference. 
     Silicone emulsions suitable for use in the present invention may include, but are not limited to, emulsions of insoluble polysiloxanes prepared in accordance with the descriptions provided in U.S. Pat. No. 6,316,541 or 4,476,282 or U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2007/0276087. Accordingly, suitable insoluble polysiloxanes include polysiloxanes such as alpha, omega hydroxy-terminated polysiloxanes or alpha, omega alkoxy-terminated polysiloxanes having an internal phase viscosity from about 5 csk to about 500,000 csk. For example, the insoluble polysiloxane may have an internal phase viscosity less 400,000 csk, preferably less than 200,000 csk, more preferably from about 10,000 csk to about 180,000 csk. The insoluble polysiloxane can have an average particle size within the range from about 10 nm to about 10 micron. The average particle size may be within the range from about 15 nm to about 5 micron, from about 20 nm to about 1 micron, or from about 25 nm to about 500 nm. 
     The average molecular weight of the insoluble polysiloxane, the internal phase viscosity of the insoluble polysiloxane, the viscosity of the silicone emulsion, and the size of the particle comprising the insoluble polysiloxane are determined by methods commonly used by those skilled in the art, such as the methods disclosed in Smith, A. L.  The Analytical Chemistry of Silicones , John Wiley &amp; Sons, Inc.: New York, 1991. For example, the viscosity of the silicone emulsion can be measured at 30° C. with a Brookfield viscometer with spindle 6 at 2.5 rpm. The silicone emulsion may further include an additional emulsifier together with the anionic surfactant, 
     Other classes of silicones suitable for use in compositions of the present invention include but are not limited to: i) silicone fluids, including but not limited to, silicone oils, which are flowable materials having viscosity less than about 1,000,000 csk as measured at 25° C.; ii) aminosilicones, which contain at least one primary, secondary or tertiary amine; iii) cationic silicones, which contain at least one quaternary ammonium functional group; iv) silicone gums; which include materials having viscosity greater or equal to 1,000,000 csk as measured at 25° C.; v) silicone resins, which include highly cross-linked polymeric siloxane systems; vi) high refractive index silicones, having refractive index of at least 1.46, and vii) mixtures thereof.

     Gel Network 
     In the present invention, a gel network may be present. The gel network component of the present invention comprises at least one fatty amphiphile. As used herein, “fatty amphiphile” refers to a compound having a hydrophobic tail group as defined as an alkyl, alkenyl (containing up to 3 double bonds), alkyl aromatic, or branched alkyl group of C 12 -C 70  length and a hydrophilic head group which does not make the compound water soluble, wherein the compound also has a net neutral charge at the pH of the shampoo composition. 
     The shampoo compositions of the present invention comprise fatty amphiphile as part of the pre-formed dispersed gel network phase in an amount from about 0.05% to about 14%, preferably from about 0.5% to about 10%, and more preferably from about 1% to about 8%, by weight of the shampoo composition. 
     According to the present invention, suitable fatty amphiphiles, or suitable mixtures of two or more fatty amphiphiles, have a melting point of at least about 27° C. The melting point, as used herein, may be measured by a standard melting point method as described in U.S. Pharmacopeia, USP-NF General Chapter &lt;741&gt; “Melting range or temperature”. The melting point of a mixture of two or more materials is determined by mixing the two or more materials at a temperature above the respective melt points and then allowing the mixture to cool. If the resulting composite is a homogeneous solid below about 27° C., then the mixture has a suitable melting point for use in the present invention. A mixture of two or more fatty amphiphiles, wherein the mixture comprises at least one fatty amphiphile having an individual melting point of less than about 27° C., still is suitable for use in the present invention provided that the composite melting point of the mixture is at least about 27° C. 
     Suitable fatty amphiphiles of the present invention include fatty alcohols, alkoxylated fatty alcohols, fatty phenols, alkoxylated fatty phenols, fatty amides, alkyoxylated fatty amides, fatty amines, fatty alkylamidoalkylamines, fatty alkyoxyalted amines, fatty carbamates, fatty amine oxides, fatty acids, alkoxylated fatty acids, fatty diesters, fatty sorbitan esters, fatty sugar esters, methyl glucoside esters, fatty glycol esters, mono, di &amp; tri glycerides, polyglycerine fatty esters, alkyl glyceryl ethers, propylene glycol fatty acid esters, cholesterol, ceramides, fatty silicone waxes, fatty glucose amides, and phospholipids and mixtures thereof. 
     In the present invention, the shampoo composition may comprise fatty alcohol gel networks. These gel networks are formed by combining fatty alcohols and surfactants in the ratio of from about 1:1 to about 40:1, from about 2:1 to about 20:1, and/or from about 3:1 to about 10:1. The formation of a gel network involves heating a dispersion of the fatty alcohol in water with the surfactant to a temperature above the melting point of the fatty alcohol. During the mixing process, the fatty alcohol melts, allowing the surfactant to partition into the fatty alcohol droplets. The surfactant brings water along with it into the fatty alcohol. This changes the isotropic fatty alcohol drops into liquid crystalline phase drops. When the mixture is cooled below the chain melt temperature, the liquid crystal phase is converted into a solid crystalline gel network. The gel network contributes a stabilizing benefit to cosmetic creams and hair conditioners. In addition, they deliver conditioned feel benefits for hair conditioners. 
     The fatty alcohol can be included in the fatty alcohol gel network at a level by weight of from about 0.05 wt % to about 14 wt %. For example, the fatty alcohol may be present in an amount ranging from about 1 wt % to about 10 wt %, and/or from about 6 wt % to about 8 wt %. 
     The fatty alcohols useful herein include those having from about 10 to about 40 carbon atoms, from about 12 to about 22 carbon atoms, from about 16 to about 22 carbon atoms, and/or about 16 to about 18 carbon atoms. These fatty alcohols can be straight or branched chain alcohols and can be saturated or unsaturated. Non-limiting examples of fatty alcohols include cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, behenyl alcohol, and mixtures thereof. Mixtures of cetyl and stearyl alcohol in a ratio of from about 20:80 to about 80:20 are suitable. 
     Gel network preparation: A vessel is charged with water and the water is heated to about 74° C. Cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, and SLES surfactant are added to the heated water. After incorporation, the resulting mixture is passed through a heat exchanger where the mixture is cooled to about 35° C. Upon cooling, the fatty alcohols and surfactant crystallized to form a crystalline gel network. Table 1 provides the components and their respective amounts for an example gel network composition.

     Aqueous Carrier 
     The personal care compositions can be in the form of pourable liquids (under ambient conditions). Such compositions will therefore typically comprise a carrier, which is present at a level of from about 40% to about 85%, alternatively from about 45% to about 80%, alternatively from about 50% to about 75% by weight of the personal care composition. The carrier may comprise water, or a miscible mixture of water and organic solvent, and in one aspect may comprise water with minimal or no significant concentrations of organic solvent, except as otherwise incidentally incorporated into the composition as minor ingredients of other essential or optional components. 
     The carrier useful in the personal care compositions of the present invention may include water and water solutions of lower alkyl alcohols and polyhydric alcohols. The lower alkyl alcohols useful herein are monohydric alcohols having 1 to 6 carbons, in one aspect, ethanol and isopropanol. Exemplary polyhydric alcohols useful herein include propylene glycol, hexylene glycol, glycerin, and propane diol. 
     G. Foam Dispenser 
     The personal care composition described herein may be provided in a foam dispenser. The foam dispenser may be an aerosol foam dispenser. The aerosol foam dispenser may comprise a reservoir for holding the personal care treatment composition. The reservoir may be made out of any suitable material selected from the group consisting of plastic, metal, alloy, laminate, and combinations thereof. The reservoir may be for one-time use. The reservoir may be removable from the aerosol foam dispenser. Alternatively, the reservoir may be integrated with the aerosol foam dispenser. And there may be two or more reservoirs. 
     The foam dispenser may also be a mechanical foam dispenser. The mechanical foam dispenser described may be selected from the group consisting of squeeze foam dispensers, pump foam dispensers, other mechanical foam dispensers, and combinations thereof. The mechanical foam dispenser may be a squeeze foam dispenser. Non-limiting examples of suitable pump dispensers include those described in WO 2004/078903, WO 2004/078901, and WO 2005/078063 and may be supplied by Albea (60 Electric Ave., Thomaston, Conn. 06787 USA) or Rieke Packaging Systems (500 West Seventh St., Auburn, Ind. 46706). 
     The mechanical foam dispenser may comprise a reservoir for holding the personal care treatment composition. The reservoir may be made out of any suitable material selected from the group consisting of plastic, metal, alloy, laminate, and combinations thereof. The reservoir may be a refillable reservoir such as a pour-in or screw-on reservoir, or the reservoir may be for one-time use. The reservoir may also be removable from the mechanical foam dispenser. Alternatively, the reservoir may be integrated with the mechanical foam dispenser. And there may be two or more reservoirs. 
     The reservoir may be comprised of a material selected from the group consisting of rigid materials, flexible materials, and combinations thereof. The reservoir may be comprised of a rigid material if it does not collapse under external atmospheric pressure when it is subject to an interior partial vacuum. 
     H. Product Form 
     The personal care compositions of the present invention may be presented in typical personal care formulations. They may be in the form of solutions, dispersion, emulsions, powders, talcs, encapsulated, spheres, spongers, solid dosage forms, foams, and other delivery mechanisms. The compositions of the present invention may be hair tonics, leave-on hair products such as treatment, and styling products, rinse-off hair products such as shampoos and personal cleansing products, and treatment products; and any other form that may be applied to hair. 
     I. Applicator 
     In the present invention, the personal care composition may be dispensed from an applicator for dispensing directly to the scalp area. Dispensing directly onto the scalp via a targeted delivery applicator enables deposition of the non-diluted cleaning agents directly where the cleaning needs are highest. This also minimizes the risk of eye contact with the cleansing solution. 
     The applicator is attached or can be attached to a bottle containing the cleansing personal care composition. The applicator can consist of a base that holds or extends to a single or plurality of tines. The tines have openings that may be at the tip, the base or at any point between the tip and the base. These openings allow for the product to be distributed from the bottle directly onto the hair and/or scalp. 
     Alternatively, the applicator can also consist of brush-like bristles attached or extending from a base. In this case product would dispense from the base and the bristles would allow for product distribution via the combing or brushing motion. 
     Applicator and tine design and materials can also be optimized to enable scalp massage. In this case it would be beneficial for the tine or bristle geometry at the tips to be more rounded similar to the roller ball applicator used for eye creams. It may also be beneficial for materials to be smoother and softer; for example metal or metal-like finishes, “rubbery materials”. 
     J. Methods 
     Viscosity Measurement 
     Shampoo viscosities can be measured on a 2.5 mL sample using a cone and plate Brookfield RS rheometer with cone C75-1 at constant shear rate of 2 s −1 , at 27° C. at 3 mins. 
     The personal care composition of the present invention may have a viscosity of &gt;about 5000 cps (centipoise); the personal care composition may have a viscosity of from about 5000 to about 20000 cps; the personal care composition may have a viscosity of from about 6000 to about 15000 cps; the personal care composition may have a viscosity of from about 7000 to about 10000 cps. 
     TEST METHODS 
     In Vivo Scalp Depo 
     The on-scalp deposition of the anti-dandruff active is measured by having the hair of individuals washed with a composition comprising an anti-dandruff active, for example a composition pursuant to the present invention. A trained cosmetician will dose the liquid shampoo control at 5 g on ½ of the panelist scalp and wash according to conventional washing protocol. Then 5 g of test shampoo is dosed to the other half of the panelist head and washed according to a conventional washing protocol. The hair is then parted on an area of the scalp to allow an open-ended glass cylinder to be held on the surface while an aliquot of an extraction solution is added and agitated prior to recovery and analytical determination of anti-dandruff active content by conventional methodology, such as HPLC. 
     Measurement of Active Deposition 
     The concentration of the agent in the ethanol extraction solvent is measured by HPLC. Quantitation is made by reference to a standard curve. The concentration detected by HPLC is converted into an amount collected in grams by using the concentration multiplied by volume. 
     The deposition efficiency can be calculated using the following equation. The area of the scalp extracted in each case is held constant:

     In Vivo Fungal Efficacy Testing 
     Subjects from all test groups will have Baseline scalp swabs for measurement of scalp  Malassezia . Subjects will take home a test product(s) and will be instructed on use test products throughout the week. The test concludes at week 2 with panelists scalps being swabbed and samples collected.  Malassezia  is quantified from scalp surface swabs via qPCR. The change in  Malassezia  amount across time will be reported as fungal reduction overtime. 
     Preparation of the Deposition Control 
     Deposition control compositions are prepared by creating a formulation with zinc pyrithione and zinc carbonate in sulfated surfactants. The formulation is adjusted to about pH 7. For example, the formulation shown as Example J is the deposition control and fungal efficacy testing composition for the test compositions A through I. 
     Non-Limiting Examples 
     The shampoo compositions illustrated in the following examples are prepared by conventional formulation and mixing methods. All exemplified amounts are listed active wt. percent and exclude minor materials such as diluents, preservatives, color solutions, imagery ingredients, botanicals, and so forth, unless otherwise specified. 
     Preparation of the Example Shampoos Compositions 
     The example cleaning compositions are prepared by combining the surfactant(s), polymers, the antidandruff active, preservatives, and the remainder of the water with ample agitation to ensure a homogenous mixture. The mixture can be heated to 65-75° C. to speed the solubilization of the surfactants, then cooled. Product pH is then adjusted as necessary to create thickening and resulting of approximately a pH of 5-7.

     Results/Discussion 
     It has been identified that formula A and B at 2% ZPT and 1% ZPT respectively at a pH of 5.0 resulted in 6× and 3× deposition vs. potentiated control formula J. The resulting efficacy for formula A is significantly up vs. the potentiated control formula J. This identified that formula A at the higher concentration of 2% ZPT and resulting 6× depo translated to significantly increased fungal reduction from consumer scalp swab results. Formula B at 3× deposition efficiency only resulted in parity to the potentiated control formula J. This indicates that 3× of non-potentiated deposited ZPT is required to reach that of potentiated ZPT formula control J. 
     Formula C and D are comparable to A and B from a ZPT concentration but differ from resulting final pH. Formula A and B are pH of 5 and formula C and D are pH of 5.8. The resulting change in pH resulted in a significant increase in deposition to 6× for Formula A at pH 5 and 8× for Formula C at pH 5.8. The same increasing trend in deposition existed for the 1% ZPT formulas B and D which shows 3× depo at pH 5 for formula B and 4× depo at pH 5.8 for formula D. This result in increased deposition via increased pH is surprising because it is expected that lower pH, more protonation, which increases thickening and adhesive nature of the anionic polymer is hypothesized to help deposit negatively charged ZPT more effectively. 
     Formula E which contains less cationic polymer polyquaternium-10 at 0.25% shows less deposition at 3× vs. formula A at 0.6%. It is observed though, that the resulting fungal efficacy for formula E resulted in significantly up, similar to formula A result, vs. the potentiated control. Overall formula E is similar in fungal efficacy of formula A. This is also surprising as it is expected that deposition level would correlate with fungal efficacy, but this does not seem to be the case. This result indicates that the resulting phase that may be generated via the lower cationic polymer level in formula E could provide more bioavailable ZPT than formula A. 
     Formula F, containing no cationic polymer and low anionic polymer at 0.7% shows significantly decreased deposition of 0.3×. This result is similar to a commercial sulfate free market formula B1 at 0.6× which indicate on back ingredient label list that no cationic polymer is present and similar to a commercial sulfate free market formula C1 which contains a synthetic polymer polyquaternium-39. This highlights that a cationic polymer and anionic polymer are necessary in the ZPT non-potentiated formulation to deposit significant levels of ZPT which would lead to fungal efficacy similar to potentiated ZPT formulations. It also indicates that cationic polymers such as Polyquaternium-10 or Guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride which are very hydrophilic are better cationic polymer options vs. synthetic more hydrophobic polymers such as polyquaternium-39. 
     Formula G results in 0.6× deposition when low molecular weight ˜500K MW and 0.7 meq/g charge density cationic polymer Guar is present at 0.6%. This formulation G would be expected to be less efficacious vs. potentiated control due to the low amount of deposition observed. Although, it may be hypothesized that increasing the concentration to ˜1.2% of this ˜500 k MW cationic polymer will increase the ZPT deposition to at least a 3× depo efficiency. This is consistent with previous observations, formula A and D comparison, that increasing the concentration of cationic polymer will increase the scalp deposition of active. Formula H results in 3× deposition when higher molecular weight ˜1.8 Mil MW and 0.7 meq/g charge density cationic polymer cellulose is present at 0.6%. Formula I result in 7× deposition when high molecular weight ˜800K MW and 1.5 meq/g charge density. These results indicate that hydrophilic high molecular weight cationic polymers and mid to high charge density (0.7-1.5 meq/g) are important for the increased deposition of ZPT to scalp and hair. The results also reinforce that increasing concentration of the cationic polymer will also increase deposition of ZPT to scalp and hair. 
     In the present invention, in the personal care composition there may be a greater to or equal to 3× deposition efficiency when compared to a potentiated control. 
     In the present invention, in the personal care composition there may be wherein 1% of a scalp active results in an equal or greater deposition efficiency when compared to a 2% scalp active.

     Example D sulfate free antidandruff shampoo, with 1% ZPT concentration, when compared to a potentiated D1 comparative sulfated antidandruff shampoo, with 1% ZPT concentration, in a consumer evaluation has resulted in parity to significant consumer responses to questions regarding overall rating, cleaning, scalp health, gentle, and effective scalp care. These are all indications that the increase deposition of Antidandruff active in example D is at least comparable to significantly up for consumer scalp benefits vs a potentiated sulfated antidandruff shampoo. 
     In the examples, all concentrations are listed as weight percent, unless otherwise specified and may exclude minor materials such as diluents, filler, and so forth. The listed formulations, therefore, comprise the listed components and any minor materials associated with such components. As is apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art, the selection of these minors will vary depending on the physical and chemical characteristics of the particular ingredients selected to make the personal care composition.
