DETERGENT COSMETIC COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING FOUR SURFACTANTS, A CATIONIC POLYMER AND A BENEFICIAL AGENT,
AND USE THEREOF
The present invention relates to novel detergent cosmetic compositions for keratin materials, m particular for human keratin materials such as the hair, comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable aqueous support, at least one sulfate, sulfonate or phosphate anionic surfactant, at least one carboxylic anionic surfactant other than the preceding surfactant, at least one amphoteric surfactant and at least one nomonic surfactant of alkylpolyglycoside type. The invention also relates to the use of said compositions in the abovementioned cosmetic application.
It is well known that hair is sensitized or embrittled to varying degrees by the action of atmospheric agents and especially light, water and humidity, and also by repeated mechanical or chemical treatments such as brushing, combing, washing, bleaching, permanent-waving, relaxing and/or dyeing. Numerous publications disclose that natural light destroys certain amino acids of the hair. These attacking factors impair the hair fibers and reduce their mechanical properties, for instance their tensile strength, breaking load and elasticity, or their resistance to swelling in an aqueous medium. The hair is dull, coarse and brittle. It is difficult to disentangle and to style.
It is also known that light and washing agents have a tendency to attack the natural color of the hair and also the artificial color of dyed hair. The hair color gradually fades or turns toward unesthetic or undesirable shades.
Substances for protecting the hair against the degradation caused by atmospheric attacking factors, such as light and heat, and treatments, have been sought for many years in the cosxuetics industry. In
particular, products that improve the cosmetic properties (especially the disentangling, softness, smoothness,, sheen, etc.) and products that protect the color of naturally colored or artificially dyed keratin fibers and that preserve or reinforce the intrinsic mechanical properties of keratin fibers (their tensile strength, breaking load and elasticity, or their resistance to swelling in an aqueous medium), are sought.
Moreover, the skin may also be impaired to varying degrees by the action of atmospheric agents and also by the repeated action of detergent products. The skin tissue may be burnt, and the skin becomes dry and coarse and loses its natural elasticity. The appearance of dandruff, of excess seborrhea or, conversely, of excess dryness may then be observed.
It is known practice to protect the hair and the skin from the effects of light by applying thereto water-soluble or water-insoluble, polymeric or nonpolymeric UV-screening agents, nanoparticles, antioxidants, metal-complexing or chelating agents, or free-radical scavengers -
For better disentangling and prevention of coarseness of the hair, water soluble or water-insoluble monomeric or polymeric conditioning agents may also be applied thereto.
The compositions of the prior art allow the problems mentioned to be solved to a certain extent, but their use is unsatisfactory. The reason for this is that repeated applications of these compositions often have the effect of giving the hair an unpleasant feel, loss of volume and liveliness of the head of hair, and occasionally loss of sheen.
Moreover, such compositions produce a persistent greasy
feel on the skin.
In the field of "rinse-out" cosmetic compositions, such as shampoos,, shower gels, facial makeup removers or shaving foams, detergent compositions comprising agents that are beneficial to the hair or the skin are known. These beneficial ingredients are generally introduced into the composition to facilitate the disentangling of the hair, to improve the feel qualities of the keratin fiber or of the skin, or else to promote the moisturization of the latter. In this context., cationic polymers, silicones and emollients such as polyols are the ingredients most commonly used.
To obtain the intended beneficial effect, it is necessary to introduce into the rinse-out composition an amount of beneficial agent much greater than that required to obtain the effect. For rinse-out detergent compositions, the majority of the beneficial agent is in fact removed during the rinsing of the composition, and the effective part of the acenr contained in the composition is consequently very small.
However, at the current time, no rinse-out detergent compositions exist that can substantially increase the amount of beneficial agent vectorized after rinsing. Such compositions would make it possible to use much less beneficial agent to provide the same level of beneficial effect.
The Applicant has discovered, surprisingly, that oy using, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, at least cne combination of four surfactants and of a particular cationic polymer in combination with at least one agent that is beneficial to keratin materials, the drawbacks mentioned above can be overcome.
In particular, it is possible to increase the deposition of the beneficial agent on the keratin
materials and thereby to increase the efficacy of said beneficial agents or to reduce the amount of said agent used.
One subject of the invention is thus a detergent cosmetic composition, wherein it comprises, in a cosmetically acceptable aqueous medium, (A) at least one. anionic surfactant comprising at . least one group chosen from sulfate, sulfonate and phosphate, (B) at least one carboxylic anionic: surfactant other than the surfactant mentioned in (A), (C) at least one amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactant, (D) at least one elkylpolyglycoside nonionic surfactant, (E) at least one cationic polymer with a cationic charge density of greater than 4 meg./g and (F) at least one agent that is beneficial to keratin materials other -han (E), the sulfate or sulfonate anionic surfactant/amphoteric surfactant weight ratio ranging from 0.1 to 2.
Without wishing to limit the present invention to any theory, it would appear that, during rinsing, there are particular interactions and/or affinities between the agent that is beneficial to keratin materials, the combination of surfactants in accordance with the invention, the cationic polymer and the hair, which promote uniform, substantial and long-lasting deposition of s£id agents that are beneficial to keratin materials and of the cationic polymer on the surface of said hair, this qualitative and quantitative deposition probably being one of the causes of the improvement observed as regards the final properties, in particular the ease of styling, the disentangling, the smoothness, the softness and the sheen of the treated hair when a conditioning agent is used.
All these discoveries form the basis of the present invention.
Another subject of the invention concerns the use of at
least one combination comprising (A) at least one anionic surfactant comprising at least one group chosen from sulfate, sulfonate and phosphate, (B) at least one carboxylic anionic surfactant other than the surfactan-mentioned in (A), (C) at least one amphoteric or zwittericnic surfactant, (D) at least , one alkylpolyglycoside nonionic surfactant, (E) at least one cationic polymer with a cationic charge density of greater than 4 meq./g, the sulfate or sulfonate anionic surfactant/amphoteric surfactant weight ratio ranging from 0.1 to 2, in, or for the manufacture of, a cosmetic composition comprising an agent that is beneficial to keratin materials.
A subject of the invention is also the use of at least one combination comprising (A) at least one anionic surfactant comprising at least one group chosen from sulfate, sulfonate and phosphate, (B) at least one carboxylic anionic surfactant other than the surfactant mentioned in (A), (C) at least one amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactant, (D) at least one alkylpolyglycoside nonionic surfactant, (E) at least one cationic polymer with a cationic charge density of greater than 4 meq./g, the sulfate or sulfonate anionic surfactant/amphoteric surfactant weight ratio ranging from 0.1 to 2, in a composition comprising an agent that is beneficial to keratin materials, for increasing the efficacy of this agent that is beneficial to keratin materials.
A subject of the present invention is also the use of at least one combination comprising (A) a: least one anionic surfactant comprising at least one group chosen from sulfate, sulfonate and phosphate, (B) at least one carboxylic anionic surfactant other than the surfactant mentioned in (A), (C) at least one amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactant, (D) at least one alkylpolyglycoside nonionic surfactant, (E) at least one cationic polymer with a cationic charge density of
greater than 4 meq./g, the sulfate or sulfonate anionic surfactant/amphoteric surfactant weight ratio ranging from 0.1 to 2, in a composition comprising an agent that is beneficial to keratin materials, for improving the deposition and/or fixing of said beneficial agent on the keratin materials.
A subject of the invention is also the cosmetic use of the above compositions for cleansing and/or removing makeup from and/or conditioning keratin materials such as the hair and the skin.

It may be determined by calculation if the structure of the polymer is known, i.e. the structure of the monomers constituting the polymer and their molar or weight proportion. It may also be determined experimentally via the Kjeldahl method, generally at pH of about 7 at room temperature.
