TECHNICAL FIELD
[001] The subject matter described herein in general relates to the field of cosmetics and personal care, and in particular, relates to the field of cleansing compositions.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
[002] Cosmetics and personal care industry keeps innovating in order to obtain newer formulations. The most popular cosmetics are usually ones which rate high on sensorial factor, while efficiently solving a problem. With the advent of nanotechnology, the exemplification of micellar and micro/nanoemulsion compositions have led to an expansion in functionalities of the composition. Gel or emul-gels are gaining popularity in the industry owing to their preferred sensorial feel. Gels are a dispersion of molecules of a liquid within a solid in which liquid particles are dispersed in the solid medium. Such formulations are of value as a number of skin-care products such as creams are heavily reliant on the presence of solid ingredients. Depending on the liquid content and particle size, certain formulations such as emul-gels are able to modulate their physical format. This is found to be quite beneficial in introducing high-loading of liquid-soluble actives. [003] The requirement of oil or fatty content in cosmetic formulation is well-established, however such compounds typically find it difficult to incorporate water-soluble components. The addition of water to such compositions commonly leads to cloudiness, which is often considered unpleasant in terms of sensorial appeal. Water or water-soluble components in cosmetics is essential in providing long-term stability and also several essential cosmeceutical additives are known to be water-soluble. Accordingly, oil-in-water and water-in-oil type emulsions are well-known in cosmetic formulations. US7879779 reveals an oil-based cleansing composition which is able to provide good cleansing while being transparent and non-cloudy. The composition is dispensed in the form of microemulsion. However, the composition utilizes silicone oils which are expensive and can hence increase cost of production. EP0725619 reveals a process for producing oil-in-water emulsions for cosmeceutical purposes. However, the application reveals use of a
number of emulsifiers and stabilizers that can be expensive. Furthermore, the long-term stability of such small particle-size emulsions is problematic and often the formulations tend to form biphasic mixtures when stored for a long period of time. Hence, there is need in the art for compositions that can easily be dispensed in the form of nano-emulgel which remains stable for a long time. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0057] The disclosure will now be illustrated with working examples, which is intended to illustrate the working of disclosure and not intended to take restrictively to imply any limitations on the scope of the present disclosure. Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood to one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. Although methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice of the disclosed methods and compositions, the exemplary methods, devices and materials are described herein. It is to be understood that this disclosure is not limited to particular methods, and experimental conditions described, as such methods and conditions may apply. [0058] As described in the background section, there is need in the art for a nano-emulgel to remain stable over a period of time. Such an emulgel should be able to provide acceptable cleansing ability. The present disclosure, provides a nano-emulgel comprising a mix of oils and surfactants that is able to provide necessary attributes. A convenient method for obtaining the nano-emulgel is also defined. Example 1
Process for preparation of nano-emulgel
[0059] A representative process is provided herein for conveniently obtaining the nano-emulgel.
[0060] Process-Step 1- the polyethylene glycol 40 hydrogenated castor oil (first surfactant) was melted at a temperature in the range of 40 -50 °C to obtain the first melt. Step 2- The synthetic oil was added to the melt to obtain the first mixture at a temperature in range of 40 -50 °Cfor 10 minutes at 80-100 rpm. Step 3- 50% of the non-ionic surfactants (decyl glucoside- third surfactant, PEG 7 Glyceryl Cocoate-fourth surfactant) was added to the first mixture obtained from Step 2 and at 40-50 °C at 100 rpm for 10-15 minutes to obtain second mixture. Step 4- Natural oil,
Essential oils and Polysorbate 20 (second surfactant) were added for 5 minutes at RT (20-3 0°Q at 100 rpm to obtain a premix-1. Step 5- the other 50% of the non-ionic surfactants (decyl glucoside, PEG 7 Glyceryl Cocoate) were added to the pre-mix- 1 obtained from Step 4 and mixed at RT (20-3 0°Q at 100 rpm for 10-15 minutes to obtain premix-2. Step 6- anionic surfactants (sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES), Di-sodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate etc) was added to the mixture obtained from Step 3 and mixed for 10-15 minutes at (40-5 0°Q at 100 rpm. Step 7- the premix-2 obtained from Step 5 were added to the mixture obtained from Step 6 or Step 5 and mixed for 15 minutes at (40-50°Q at 100 rpm. Step 8- 25% of water was added to the mixture obtained from Step 7 and mixed for 15 minutes at (40-50°Q at 100 rpm. Step 9- amphoteric surfactants (CAPB) were added to the mixture obtained from Step 8 and mixed for 10 minutes at (40-50°Q at 100 rpm. Step 10-the remaining water was mixed at (40-5 0°Q for 15 minutes at 100 rpm. [0061] In a variation of the process, non-ionic surfactant was combined with only amphoteric surfactant. In yet another variant of the process, the non-ionic surfactant was combined with only anionic surfactant. Example 2
Examples to determine working ranges of critical ingredients [0062] The various listed ingredients were found to be effective in producing the required sensorials only when worked within the ranges as described herein. The said nano-emulgels are listed below in Table 1. Table 1- Listing of various nano-emulgels.
[0063] It is to be appreciated from the data presented in Tables 1,2 and 3, that the working examples 1-8 were found to perform well with respect to all parameters as they were found to have ingredients within prescribed limits. Variation of oil mix beyond the prescribed range of 5 - 13.8% with respect to the nano-emulgel was found to be detrimental. This was apparent from the negative results observed in Table 3 for Examples 12-27. Furthermore, it can be appreciated the weight percentage of total surfactant mix had to be within the acceptable range of 30 - 45 % with respect to the nano-emugel. This was validated from the Examples 9-23 which were found to be ineffective due to high amounts surfactant. These examples were found to have poor viscosity. Furthermore, it was found that presence of anionic or amphoteric surfactants was found to be optional. The presence of either in combination with non-ionic surfactant were found to perform well (Examples 7 and 8). Hence, it was noted that the nano-emulgel was obtained only when the critical ingredients were present within prescribed ranges which were obtained from due experimentation. Advantages of the present disclosure;
[0064] The present disclosure reveals a cleansing nano-emulgel comprising an oil mix and a surfactant mix along with water, wherein surfactant mix has a weight percentage in a range of 30 - 45 % with respect to the nano-emulgel and the oil mix has a weight percentage in a range of 5 - 13.8% with respect to the nano-emulgel. The nano-emulgel is able to effectively deliver cleansing properties, while ensuring stability of particles over an extended period of time. The nano-emulgel can be easily dispensed in the form of commercially available cosmetic formulations.
