COMPOSITION
The present invention relates to a composition comprising an oil.
Within the hair care field there is a need for improved conditioning shampoo
compositions which comprise oils. Improvements are particularly sought with
regard to product stability, especially at raised temperatures.
Additionally the present invention has the further advantage that a polymeric
suspending agent is not required, thus reducing the cost of the formulation.
Co-pending patent application number EP091 63568 describes a conditioning
shampoo composition comprising from 1-26% wt. cleansing phase, a conditioning
gel network with an oil dispersed therein, a polymeric suspending agent and a
cationic deposition polymer.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a conditioning shampoo composition
comprising:
i) a cleansing phase,
ii) a conditioning gel network comprising a fatty material;
an anionic surfactant and a cationic surfactant;
wherein the conditioning gel network has no overall charge or is anionic;
iii) an oil; and
iv) a hydrophobically modified cationic deposition polymer;
in which cationic deposition polymer and the anionic surfactant of the gel
network contain alkyl groups with within 4 carbons of each other.
All viscosities mentioned in this specification are measured viscosity at 30°C on a
Brookfield viscometer with spindle RV5 and 20 rpm.
Preferably, the composition has a viscosity of 2000 to 7000 cPs measures at
30°C.

Conditioning Gel Network
The conditioning gel network comprises:
(a) fatty material;
(b) a gel network anionic surfactant comprising an alkyl group with from 16 to
30 carbons;
(c) cationic surfactant;
wherein the conditioning gel network has no overall charge or is anionic.
The cationic surfactant provides improved robustness of the fatty material/anionic
surfactant gel network leading to improved conditioning benefit from a composition
also comprising a non-cationic cleansing phase. The difference in carbon chain
length between the anionic surfactant in the cleansing phase and the anionic
surfactant in the conditioning gel significantly improve stability of the conditioning
gel network and maintain its integrity in the shampoo composition.
Preferably, the anionic and cationic surfactants in the gel network contain within 4,
preferably 2 carbons and most preferably the same number of carbons. More
preferably, they comprise a single alkyl group of within 4, more preferably within 2
and most preferably are the same length. This assists in maintaining stability of
the gel network.
Preferably, the carbons in the gel network cationic surfactant are present in a
single alkyl group. More preferably the gel network cationic surfactant has from
16-30 carbons.
Preferably, the cationic surfactants have the formula N+(R1)(R2)(R3)(R4) , wherein
R1, R2, R3 and R4 are independently (C16 to C30) alkyl or benzyl.
Preferably, one, two or three of R1, R2, R3 and R4 are independently (C16 to C30)
alkyl and the other R1, R2, R3 and R4 group or groups are (C1 -C6) alkyl or benzyl.
Optionally, the alkyl groups may comprise one or more ester (-OCO- or -COO-)
and/or ether (-O-) linkages within the alkyl chain. Alkyl groups may optionally be
substituted with one or more hydroxyl groups. Alkyl groups may be straight chain
or branched and, for alkyl groups having 3 or more carbon atoms, cyclic. The
alkyl groups may be saturated or may contain one or more carbon-carbon double
bonds (e.g., oleyl). Alkyl groups are optionally ethoxylated on the alkyl chain with
one or more ethyleneoxy groups.
Suitable cationic surfactants for use in conditioner compositions according to the
invention include cetyltrimethylammonium chloride, behenyltrimethylammonium
chloride, cetylpyridinium chloride, tetramethylammonium chloride,
tetraethylammonium chloride, stearyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride,
cocotrimethylammonium chloride, PEG-2-oleammonium chloride and the
corresponding hydroxides thereof. Further suitable cationic surfactants include those
materials having the CTFA designations Quaternium-5, Quaternium-31 and
Quaternium-1 8. Mixtures of any of the foregoing materials may also be suitable. A
particularly useful cationic surfactant for use in conditioners according to the
invention is cetyltrimethylammonium chloride, available commercially, for example
as GENAMIN CTAC, ex Hoechst Celanese. Another particularly useful cationic
surfactant for use in conditioners according to the invention is

R2 and R3 are independently selected from hydrocarbyl chains of from 1 to
10 carbon atoms, and
m is an integer from 1 to about 10; and

acid, succinic acid, and mixtures thereof. Preferably, the acid is selected from the
group consisting of acetic acid, tartaric acid, hydrochloric acid, fumaric acid, and
mixtures thereof.
The primary role of the acid is to protonate the amidoamine in the hair treatment
composition thus forming a tertiary amine salt (TAS) in situ in the hair treatment
composition. The TAS in effect is a non-permanent quaternary ammonium or
pseudo-quaternary ammonium cationic surfactant.
Suitably, the acid is included in a sufficient amount to protonate all the
amidoamine present, i.e. at a level which is at least equimolar to the amount of
amidoamine present in the composition.
The level of cationic surfactant will generally range from 0.01 to 10%, more
preferably 0.02 to 7.5%, most preferably 0.05 to 5% by total weight of cationic
surfactant based on the total weight of the composition.
The anionic surfactant of the gel network comprises an alkyl chain with from 16-30
carbons, preferably from 16-22 carbons.
Preferably the anionic surfactant is a sulphate or sulphonate, more preferably
sulphate, most preferably sodium cetylstearyl sulphate.
Preferably, the carbons in the gel network anionic surfactant are present in a
single alkyl group.
The gel network comprises an anionic surfactant for achieving an overall anionic

surfactant (c) within the gel network has a ratio is from 6:1 to 20:1 most preferably
9:1 to 13:1 .
The gel network comprises an anionic surfactant for achieving an overall anionic
charge to the gel network or no overall charge to the gel network.
The gel network anionic surfactant is present at from 0.1 to 5 % by weight of the total
composition and more preferably from 0.5 to 2.0% wt.
Preferably, the fatty material is selected from fatty acids, fatty amides, fatty alcohols,

atoms, more preferably 16 to 22. Examples of suitable fatty alcohols include cetyl
alcohol, stearyl alcohol and mixtures thereof. An example of a suitable fatty ester is
glyceryl monostearate.
The level of fatty material in compositions of the invention is conveniently from 0.01
to 10%, preferably from 0.1 to 5% by weight of the total composition.
Preferably the ratio between fatty alcohol (a)within the gel network and anionic
surfactant(b) within the gel network is from 0.1 :1 to 100:1 , preferably from 1.2:1 to
50:1 , more preferably from 1.5:1 to 10:1 and most preferably around 2:1 .
Preferably, the anionic and fatty materials of the gel network contain alkyl groups
with within 4, preferably 2 carbons and most preferably the same number of
carbons. More preferably, they comprise a single alkyl group of within 4, more
preferably within 2 and most preferably are the same length. This assists in
maintaining stability of the gel network.
Hydrophobic Cationic Deposition Polymer
The composition according to the invention comprises a hydrophobically modified
cationic deposition polymer.
Preferably the hydrophobically modified cationic deposition polymer has a carbon
chain having from 14 to 30 carbons. It is preferred if the carbon chain is a single
alkyl chain, more preferably unbranched.
Suitable hydrophobic cationic deposition aid polymers may be homopolymers which
are cationically substituted or may be formed from two or more types of monomers.
The weight average (Mw) molecular weight of the polymers will generally be
froml ,000 to 6 million Daltons, more preferably from 100, 000 to 2 million daltons.
The polymers will have cationic nitrogen containing groups such as quaternary
ammonium or protonated amino groups, or a mixture thereof. If the molecular
weight of the polymer is too low, then the conditioning effect is poor. If too high, then
there may be problems of high extensional viscosity leading to stringiness of the
composition when it is poured.
The cationic nitrogen-containing group will generally be present as a substituent on
a fraction of the total monomer units of the cationic polymer. Thus when the polymer
is not a homopolymer it can contain spacer non-cationic monomer units. Such
polymers are described in the CTFA Cosmetic Ingredient Directory, 3rd edition. The
ratio of the cationic to non-cationic monomer units is selected to give polymers
having a cationic charge density in the required range, which is generally from 0.1 to
5 meq/gm, more preferably from 0.2 to 3.0 meq/gm. The cationic charge density of
the polymer is suitably determined via the Kjeldahl method as described in the US
Pharmacopoeia under chemical tests for nitrogen determination.
The cationic amines can be primary, secondary or tertiary amines, depending
upon the particular species and the pH of the composition. In general secondary
and tertiary amines, especially tertiary, are preferred.
Amine substituted vinyl monomers and amines can be polymerised in the amine
form and then converted to ammonium by quaternization.
The hydrophobic modified cationic polymers can comprise mixtures of monomer
units derived from amine- and/or quaternary ammonium-substituted monomer
and/or compatible spacer monomers.
The hydrophobically cationic deposition polymer for use in the present invention
can be obtained from hydrophobically modifying deposition polymers from the
group consisting of guar, locust bean, tara gum, honey locust, cassia, fenugreek
and flame tree. Others useful polymers could include xanthan gum, gellan gum,
welan gum, rhamsan gum, konjac, mannan, gum Arabic, soy polysaccharide,
xylofructose gums, polyglucose (starch) and tamarind gum.
The hydrophobically modified cationic deposition polymer and the anionic
surfactant of the gel network contain alkyl groups with within 4, preferably 2
carbons and most preferably the same number of carbons. More preferably, they
comprise a single alkyl group of within 4, more preferably within 2 and most
preferably are the same length. This assists in maintaining stability of the gel
network and reduces the need for a suspending agent

material of the gel network contain alkyl groups with within 4, preferably 2 carbons
and most preferably the same number of carbons. More preferably, they comprise
a single alkyl group of within 4, more preferably within 2 and most preferably are
