Title: Personal Care Compositions

Description:
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION 
     This application claims the benefit of priority from U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/278,184, entitled “PERSONAL CARE COMPOSITIONS” and filed Nov. 11, 2021, the contents of which is hereby incorporated herein in its entirety. 
    
    
     BACKGROUND 
     The process of hair care is multifaceted and generally involves washing, conditioning, and styling the hair. The desirable results of the hair care process include a persistent look and feel of clean hair between washings, ease of combing, absence of static electricity, manageability, soft feel and shine. A limited number of hair care products are available which clean as well as condition the hair by the use of one product, i.e., a two-in-one conditioning shampoo. Certain two-in-one conditioning shampoos typically contain water, anionic surfactants, foam stabilizers, insoluble nonvolatile silicone conditioning agents and silicone suspending agents. 
     Many two-in-one conditioning shampoos fail to repair and/or nourish damaged hair. Damaged hair is characterized by unnatural changes to the protein structure of the individual hair strands or shafts. Damage results in split ends, dry straw-like hair, hair that is easily broken, and hair that is “frizzy” and unmanageable. Because the visible portion of hair is dead, it has no ability to regenerate itself. 
     Accordingly, there is an ongoing need for improved hair care products that clean, condition, repair and/or nourish hair, including damaged hair.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     For illustrative purposes, the principles of the present invention are described by referencing various exemplary embodiments thereof. Although certain embodiments of the invention are specifically described herein, one of ordinary skill in the art will readily recognize that the same principles are equally applicable to, and can be employed in other apparatuses and methods. Before explaining the disclosed embodiments of the present invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of any particular embodiment shown. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of description and not of limitation. 
     As used herein and in the appended claims, the singular forms “a”, “an”, and “the” include plural references unless the context dictates otherwise. The singular form of any class of the ingredients refers not only to one chemical species within that class, but also to a mixture of those chemical species. The terms “a” (or “an”), “one or more” and “at least one” may be used interchangeably herein. The terms “comprising”, “including”, and “having” may be used interchangeably. The term “include” should be interpreted as “include, but are not limited to”. The term “including” should be interpreted as “including, but are not limited to”. 
     As used throughout, ranges are used as shorthand for describing each and every value that is within the range. Any value within the range can be selected as the terminus of the range. Thus, a range from 1-5, includes specifically 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, as well as subranges such as 2-5, 3-5, 2-3, 2-4, 1-4, etc. 
     The term “about” when referring to a number means any number within a range of 10% of the number. For example, the phrase “about 2.0 wt. %” refers to a number between and including 1.8 wt. % and 2.2 wt. %. 
     All references cited herein are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties. In the event of a conflict in a definition in the present disclosure and that of a cited reference, the present disclosure controls. 
     The abbreviations and symbols as used herein, unless indicated otherwise, take their ordinary meaning. The abbreviation “wt. %” means percent by weight with respect to the hair care composition. The symbol “°” refers to a degree, such as a temperature degree or a degree of an angle. The symbols “h”, “min”, “mL”, “nm”, “μm” refer to hour, minute, milliliter, nanometer, and micrometer, respectively. 
     When referring to chemical structures, and names, the symbols “C”, “H”, and “O” mean carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, respectively. The symbols “—”, “═” and “≡” mean single bond, double bond, and triple bond, respectively. 
     “Volatile”, as used herein, means having a flash point of less than about 100° C. “Non-volatile”, as used herein, means having a flash point of greater than about 100° C. 
     Any member in a list of species that are used to exemplify or define a genus, may be mutually different from, or overlapping with, or a subset of, or equivalent to, or nearly the same as, or identical to, any other member of the list of species. Further, unless explicitly stated, such as when reciting a Markush group, the list of species that define or exemplify the genus is open, and it is given that other species may exist that define or exemplify the genus just as well as, or better than, any other species listed. 
     All components and elements positively set forth in this disclosure can be negatively excluded from the claims. In other words, the hair care compositions of the instant disclosure can be free or essentially free of all components and elements positively recited throughout the instant disclosure. In some instances, the hair care compositions of the present invention may be substantially free of non-incidental amounts of the ingredient(s) or compound(s) described herein. A non-incidental amount of an ingredient or compound is the amount of that ingredient or compound that is added into the hair care composition by itself. For example, a hair care composition may be substantially free of a non-incidental amount of an ingredient or compound, although such ingredient(s) or compound(s) may be present as part of a raw material that is included as a blend of two or more compounds. 
     Some of the various categories of components identified may overlap. In such cases where overlap may exist and the hair care composition includes both components (or the composition includes more than two components that overlap), an overlapping compound does not represent more than one component. For example, certain compounds may be characterized as both an emulsifier and a surfactant. If a particular hair care composition includes both an emulsifier and a surfactant, a compound that may be characterized as both an emulsifier and a surfactant will serve only as either an emulsifier or a surfactant—not both. 
     For readability purposes, chemical functional groups may be mentioned in their adjective form; for each of the adjectives, the word “group” should be assumed. For example, the adjective “alkyl” without a nouns thereafter, should be read as “an alkyl group”. 
     Aspects of the present invention relate to hair care compositions and, particularly, hair care compositions that both clean and condition the hair. Additional aspects of the present invention relate to methods for using the hair care compositions disclosed herein. 
     The hair care compositions disclosed herein advantageously provide improved conditioning effects in conjunction with cleansing effects, while using a high content of natural ingredients. The present inventors discovered that certain combinations of fatty esters, fatty ethers, and nonionic surfactants in specific ratios provide hair care compositions having enhanced conditioning attributes. For instance, the inventors discovered that certain combinations of fatty esters and fatty ethers in specific ratios provide enhanced conditioning properties. Additionally, certain combinations of fatty esters and nonionic surfactants in specific ratios provide enhanced conditioning properties. 
     Surprisingly, the enhanced conditioning attributes may be achieved in some embodiments even with significantly reduced amounts of silicones. For instance, some embodiments of the invention utilize specific combinations of ingredients in specific ratios to provide superior conditioning attributes for wet hair relative to dry hair, while further embodiments provide superior conditioning attributes for dry hair relative to wet hair. 
     It was unexpected that embodiments of the invention could be obtained having a naturality index of 90% or more, based on ISO standard 16128, while having a reduced amount of silicone and simultaneously achieving superior conditioning and cleansing effects by employing the specific combination of ingredients at specific ratios disclosed herein. 
     In accordance with one embodiment, provided is a hair care composition comprising from about 1 to about 20 wt. % of an anionic surfactant; from about 0.5 to about 5 wt. % of an amphoteric surfactant; from about 0.1 to about 7 wt. % of a nonionic surfactant; from about 0.1 to about 5 wt. % of a thickening agent, wherein the thickening agent is a natural gum; and from about 0.05 to about 4.5 wt. % of a silicone, wherein the hair composition is an emulsion and all weight percentages are based on the total weight of the hair care composition. Additionally, the hair care composition may have a weight ratio for the total amount of anionic surfactant to the total amount of amphoteric surfactant that is about 5:1 to about 20:1. 
     As noted above, the hair care compositions may have a reduced amount of silicone. For instance, the hair care compositions have a total amount of silicone of about 4.5 wt. % or less, based on the total weight of the hair care composition. For instance, the hair care composition may have a total amount of silicone of about 3 wt. % or less, about 2 wt. % or less, about 1 wt. % or less, about 0.5 wt. % or less, or about 0.1 wt. % or less, based on the total weight of the hair care composition. In one embodiment, the hair care composition is free of or essentially free of silicone. In some embodiments, the hair care composition has an amount of silicone up to about 4.5 wt. %. For example, the hair care composition may have about 0.1 up to 4.5 wt. %, about 0.1 up to 3 wt. %, about 0.1 up to 2 wt. %, about 0.1 up to 1 wt. %; about 0.5 up to 4.5 wt. %, about 0.5 up to 3 wt. %, about 0.5 up to 2 wt. %, about 0.5 up to 1 wt. %; about 1 up to 4.5 wt. %, about 1 up to 3 wt. %, about 1 up to 2 wt. %, or any range or subrange thereof, based on the total weight of the hair care composition. 
     Preferably, the hair care compositions have a naturality index of about 90% or more, by weight of the total weight of the hair care composition, based on ISO standard 16128. In some embodiments, the hair care compositions have a naturality index of about 92% or more, about 94% or more, about 95% or more, about 96% or more, about 97% or more, about 98% or more, or about 99% or more, by weight of the total weight of the hair care composition, based on ISO standard 16128. 
     The hair care composition may have a weight ratio of the total amount of nonionic surfactant to the total amount of fatty ester that is from about 1:10 to about 10:1, about 1:9 to about 9:1, about 1:8 to about 8:1, from about 1:7 to about 7:1, about 1:6 to about 6:1, from about 1:5 to about 5:1, about 1:4 to about 4:1, about 1:3 to about 3:1, or from about 1:2 to about 2:1. 
     In some embodiments, the hair care composition includes one or more nonionic surfactant(s) comprising brassica amido propyl dimethyl amine and one or more fatty ester(s) comprising PEG-120 jojoba. The hair care compositions may have a weight ratio of brassica amido propyl dimethyl amine to PEG-120 Jojoba that is from about 1:10 to about 10:1, about 1:9 to about 9:1, about 1:8 to about 8:1, from about 1:7 to about 7:1, about 1:6 to about 6:1, from about 1:5 to about 5:1, about 1:4 to about 4:1, about 1:3 to about 3:1, or from about 1:2 to about 2:1. 
     Additionally or alternatively, the hair care composition may have a weight ratio of the total amount of fatty ester to the total amount of fatty ether that is from about 1:10 to about 10:1, about 1:9 to about 9:1, about 1:8 to about 8:1, from about 1:7 to about 7:1, about 1:6 to about 6:1, from about 1:5 to about 5:1, about 1:4 to about 4:1, about 1:3 to about 3:1, or from about 1:2 to about 2:1. 
     In some instances, the hair care composition includes one or more fatty ester(s) comprising isoamyl laurate and one or more fatty ether(s) comprising PPG-3 caprylyl ether. The hair care composition may have a weight ratio of isoamyl laurate to PPG-3 caprylyl ether that is from about 1:10 to about 10:1, about 1:9 to about 9:1, about 1:8 to about 8:1, from about 1:7 to about 7:1, about 1:6 to about 6:1, from about 1:5 to about 5:1, about 1:4 to about 4:1, about 1:3 to about 3:1, or from about 1:2 to about 2:1. 
     The hair care compositions may have a viscosity from about 1,000 to about 30,000 mPas (cps), such as from about 1,000 to about 25,000 mPas (cps) or about 7,000 to about 15,000 mPas (cps), measured at a temperature of 25° C. using spindle no. 4 at 10 rpm during 1 minute with a Brookfield viscometer. For instance, the hair care composition may have a viscosity from about 1,000 to about 30,000 mPas (cps), about 1,000 to about 25,000 mPas (cps), about 1,000 to about 20,000 mPas (cps), about 1,000 to about 17,000 mPas (cps), about 1,000 to about 15,000 mPas (cps); about 4,000 to about 30,000 mPas (cps), about 4,000 to about 25,000 mPas (cps), about 4,000 to about 20,000 mPas (cps), about 4,000 to about 17,000 mPas (cps), about 4,000 to about 15,000 mPas (cps); about 7,000 to about 30,000 mPas (cps), about 7,000 to about 25,000 mPas (cps), about 7,000 to about 20,000 mPas (cps), about 7,000 to about 17,000 mPas (cps), or about 7,000 to about 15,000 mPas (cps), measured at a temperature of 25° C. using spindle no. 4 at 10 rpm during 1 minute with a Brookfield viscometer. 
     The hair care compositions may have an emulsion. Although the hair care composition is preferably an oil-in-water emulsion, the hair care composition may be a water-in-oil emulsion in some embodiments. Additionally or alternatively, the hair care composition may be a shampoo, e.g., a conditioning shampoo, such as a 2-in-1 conditioner shampoo. 
     In some embodiments, the hair care composition comprises one or more of about 1 to about 20 wt. % of sodium lauryl ether sulfate, about 0.1 to about 7 wt. % of cocoamidopropyl betaine, about 0.1 to about 7 wt. % of decyl glucoside and/or coco monoethanolamide, about 0.1 to about 7 wt. % of brassica amido propyl dimethyl amine, about 0.1 to about 10 wt. % of PEG-120 jojoba, about 0.1 to about 7 wt. % of ethylene glycol mono/di-stearate, about 0.1 to about 7 wt. % of isoamyl laurate, about 0.1 to about 7 wt. % of PPG-3 caprylyl ether, about 0.05 to about 4.5 wt. % of dimethiconol, bis-cetearyl, about 0.1 to about 5 wt. % of cationic guar and/or hydroxypropyl guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride, about 0.1 to about 10 wt. % of jojoba wax PEG120 esters, and water.

     Suitable components, such as those listed below, may be included or excluded from the formulations for the hair care compositions depending on the specific combination of other components, the form of the hair care compositions, and/or the use of the formulation (e.g., a gel, cream, etc.). 
     The hair care compositions may include a surfactant system in an amount that may vary, but generally is in the range of from about 2 to about 40 wt. %, based on the total weight of the hair care composition. For example, the hair care composition may include about 2 to about 40 wt. %, about 2 to about 35 wt. %, about 2 to about 30 wt. %, about 2 to about 25 wt. %, about 2 to about 20 wt. %, about 2 to about 18 wt. %, about 2 to about 16 wt. %, about 2 to about 14 wt. %, about 2 to about 12 wt. %, about 2 to about 10 wt. %; about 5 to about 40 wt. %, about 5 to about 35 wt. %, about 5 to about 30 wt. %, about 5 to about 25 wt. %, about 5 to about 20 wt. %, about 5 to about 18 wt. %, about 5 to about 16 wt. %, about 5 to about 14 wt. %, about 5 to about 12 wt. %, about 5 to about 10 wt. %; about 7.5 to about 40 wt. %, about 7.5 to about 35 wt. %, about 7.5 to about 30 wt. %, about 7.5 to about 25 wt. %, about 7.5 to about 20 wt. %, about 7.5 to about 18 wt. %, about 7.5 to about 16 wt. %, about 7.5 to about 14 wt. %, about 7.5 to about 12 wt. %; about 10 to about 40 wt. %, about 10 to about 35 wt. %, about 10 to about 30 wt. %, about 10 to about 25 wt. %, about 10 to about 20 wt. %, about 10 to about 18 wt. %, about 10 to about 16 wt. %, about 10 to about 14 wt. %, about 10 to about 12 wt. %, including ranges and subranges thereof, based on the total weight of the hair care composition. 
     The surfactant systems disclosed herein typically comprise two or more surfactants selected from anionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, zwitterionic surfactants, and combinations of two or more thereof. For instance, the surfactant system may include two or more surfactants, with the two or more surfactants being chosen from different categories of anionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, and zwitterionic surfactants. 
     The hair care compositions include one or more anionic surfactant(s) in an amount of, e.g., from about 1 to about 20 wt. % of an anionic surfactant, based on the total weight of the hair care composition. In some embodiment, the amount of anionic surfactant present in the hair care composition is from about 1 to about 18 wt. %, about 1 to about 16 wt. %, about 1 to about 14 wt. %, about 1 to about 12 wt. %, about 1 to about 10 wt. %, about 1 to about 8 wt. %; about 2 to about 20 wt. %, about 2 to about 18 wt. %, about 2 to about 16 wt. %, about 2 to about 14 wt. %, about 2 to about 12 wt. %, about 2 to about 10 wt. %, about 2 to about 8 wt. %; about 3 to about 20 wt. %, about 3 to about 18 wt. %, about 3 to about 16 wt. %, about 3 to about 14 wt. %, about 3 to about 12 wt. %, about 3 to about 10 wt. %, about 3 to about 8 wt. %; about 4 to about 20 wt. %, about 4 to about 18 wt. %, about 4 to about 16 wt. %, about 4 to about 14 wt. %, about 4 to about 12 wt. %, about 4 to about 10 wt. %, about 4 to about 8 wt. %; about 5 to about 20 wt. %, about 5 to about 18 wt. %, about 5 to about 16 wt. %, about 5 to about 14 wt. %, about 5 to about 12 wt. %, about 5 to about 10 wt. %, or about 5 to about 8 wt. %, including all ranges and subranges thereof, based on the total weight of the hair care composition. 
     Anionic surfactants that may be useful herein include water-soluble salts of alkyl sulfates and alkyl ether sulfates having from 8 to 20 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical (e.g., sodium alkyl sulfate) and the water-soluble salts of sulfonated monoglycerides of fatty acids having from 8 to 20 carbon atoms. Sodium laurel ether sulfate (SEES), sodium lauryl sulfate, and sodium coconut monoglyceride sulfonates are examples of anionic surfactants of this type. Other suitable anionic surfactants are sarcosinates, such as sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, laurates, sodium lauryl sulfoacetate, sodium lauroyl isethionate, sodium laureth carboxylate, and sodium dodecyl benzenesulfonate. In one embodiment, the anionic surfactant comprises sodium laureth sulfate, sodium lauryl ether sulfate, sodium pareth sulfate, or a combination of two or more thereof. 
     In one embodiment, the hair care composition includes a sodium lauryl ether sulfate. The sodium lauryl ether sulfate may have an average ethoxylation of about 1 to about 5 mole per mole of lauryl ether sulfate group. In some instance, the average ethoxylation of the sodium lauryl ether sulfate is about 1 to about 4, about 1 to about 3, about 1 to about 2, or about 1 mole per mole of lauryl ether sulfate group. 
     Mixtures of anionic surfactants can also be employed. For instance, a variety of anionic surfactants can be utilized in the hair care composition including, for example, long chain alkyl (C 6 -C 22 ) materials such as long chain alkyl sulfates, long chain alkyl sulfonates, long chain alkyl phosphates, long chain alkyl ether sulfates, long chain alkyl alpha olefin sulfonates, long chain alkyl taurates, long chain alkyl isethionates (SCI), long chain alkyl glyceryl ether sulfonates (AGES), sulfosuccinates, or combinations of two or more thereof. These anionic surfactants can be alkoxylated, for example, ethoxylated, although alkoxylation is not required. These surfactants are typically highly water soluble as their sodium, potassium, alkyl and ammonium or alkanol ammonium containing salt form and can provide high foaming cleansing power. Other equivalent anionic surfactants may be used in some cases. 
     The hair care compositions may include one or more amphoteric surfactant(s) in an amount that typically ranges from about 0.1 to about 7 wt. %, based on the total weight of the hair care composition. For example, the hair care composition may include one or more amphoteric surfactant(s) in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 6 wt. %, about 0.1 to about 5 wt. %, about 0.1 to about 4 wt. %, about 0.1 to about 3 wt. %, about 0.1 to about 2 wt. %, about 0.1 to about 1 wt. %; about 0.5 to about 7 wt. %, about 0.5 to about 6 wt. %, about 0.5 to about 5 wt. %, about 0.5 to about 4 wt. %, about 0.5 to about 3 wt. %, about 0.5 to about 2 wt. %, about 0.5 to about 1 wt. %; about 0.75 to about 7 wt. %, about 0.75 to about 6 wt. %, about 0.75 to about 5 wt. %, about 0.75 to about 4 wt. %, about 0.75 to about 3 wt. %, about 0.75 to about 2 wt. %, about 0.75 to about 1 wt. %; about 1 to about 7 wt. %, about 1 to about 6 wt. %, about 1 to about 5 wt. %, about 1 to about 4 wt. %, about 1 to about 3 wt. %, or about 1 to about 2 wt. %, including ranges and subranges thereof, based on the total weight of the hair care composition. 
     Amphoteric surfactants are typically characterized by a combination of high surfactant activity, lather forming and mildness. The amphoteric surfactant may comprise a substituent containing 8 to 18 carbon atoms and a substituent containing one or more carboxylate, sulfonate, sulfate, phosphate, or phosphonate. The amphoteric surfactant(s) may include, but are not limited to, 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 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 such compounds include sodium 3-dodecyaminopropionate, sodium 3-dodecylaminopropane sulfonate, N-alkyl taurines and N-higher alkyl aspartic acids. Other equivalent amphoteric surfactants may be used in some cases.

     Specifically, Compositions F-M and a Comparative Composition 1 (Comp. 1) were evaluated for flash foam, max foam, viscosity, density, instability, detangling, and combing force properties. Flash and max foam was measured for each of Example Compositions F-M and Comparative Composition 1 at a temperature of about 23° C. using 100 mL aqueous solutions formed from the respective compositions. Each of the aqueous solutions had a formulation of 1 wt. % of the respective compositions with the remainder of the composition being water. The aqueous solutions were subsequently put inside a 500 mL test tube and agitated with controlled rotational 180° vertical movements in a Gaum foam shaker apparatus. Flash foam was determined as the foam volume after 8 agitation cycles while the max foam was determined as the foam volume after 14 agitation cycles (see  FIGS.  1  and  2   ). 
     For evaluating the viscosity of Example Compositions F-M and Comparative Compositions 1, a 300 mL or more sample of each of the compositions was measured at a temperature of at 25° C. using a spindle no. 4 at 10 rpm for 1 min in a Brookfield viscometer (see  FIG.  3   ). 
     Foam density was measured by a trained technician using a short hair mannequin head. Specifically, the mannequin&#39;s hair was split in two symmetrical sections, with one half of the hair being wetted using 30 mL of running tap water at room temperature. A 1 mL sample of each composition was then applied to both halves of the mannequin&#39;s hair and massaged through the hair by hand using circular movements corresponding to a metronome (calibrated at 100 beats per minute). The foam formed was then collected in a beaker of known volumetric capacity and weight. The foam density was then calculated using the determined volume and weight. (see  FIG.  4   ). 
     To assess the instability of Example Compositions F-M and Comparative Composition 1, samples of each composition were measured using an analytical centrifuge Lumisizer. The instability of the composition, as a parameter, is defined by the equipment supplier and is a measurement of the light transmittance across the sample at different times while the compositions are centrifuged (see  FIG.  5   ). 
     The detangling and combing force provided by Example Compositions F-M and Comparative Composition 1 was assessed using a DIA-STRON Mini-Tensile tester and standardized hair swatches (by hair type, length and weight). A sample of each composition was applied and massaged through the hair swatches. The hair swatches were then rinsed off and measured with the DIA-STRON Mini-Tensile tester (see  FIGS.  6 A and  6 B ).
