Description

PERSONAL CLEANSING COMPOSITIONS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a personal cleansing composition containing anionic particles. More specifically, it relates to a personal cleansing composition containing anionic particles and a cationic polymer, wherein the anionic particles are complexed with the cationic polymer to form aggregates prior to mixing with the remaining ingredients.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Solid particles are known for use as benefit agents in a variety of formulations and personal care compositions. Solid particles can impart benefits both to the compositions comprising them or surfaces to which the compositions are applied. Solid particles can for example be used as pigments or coloring agents, opaciiϊers, pearlescent agents, feel modifiers, oil absorbers, skin protectants, matting agents, friction enhancers, slip agents, conditioning agents, exfoliants, odor absorbers, or cleaning enhancers. Additionally, many active ingredients useful as treatment agents for various disorders or socially embarrassing conditions are available and typically used in solid particulate form including antiperspirant agents, anti-dandruff agents, antimicrobials, antibiotics, and sunscreens.
Typically when it is desired to modify the properties of a surface through application of particles, the particles are applied via leave-on preparations, which are rubbed, sprayed, or otherwise applied directly onto the surface to be affected. Typical personal care preparations suitable for delivery of solid particles to hair or skin surfaces include as examples moisturizers, lotions, creams, loose or pressed powders, sticks, tonics, gels, and various sprays such as aerosol or pump sprays. These products are typically applied directly to the surface whereupon particles are deposited and retained by the composition itself or by residual non-volatile elements of the composition after evaporation and drying.
It has also been known to formulate solid particle benefit agents into rinse-off or cleansing compositions such as hair rinses, personal cleansing compositions, liquid and bar soaps, conditioners, or colorants. Frequently the solid particle benefit agent is used to affect the overall appearance, stability or aesthetics of the composition itself. As example, it is well known to add colorant particles, pigments, or pearlescent agents to compositions to improve the acceptability and attractiveness of the product to potential consumers. It is also well known to add particulate benefit agents to affect the in use performance, appearance or aesthetic properties of the composition or to provide a tactile signal to the user. As example, exfoliant particles are frequently used in cleansing compositions to improve abrasion and removal of oils and dirt from washed surfaces and to impart a perceptible "scrubbing" sensation to the user. Typically such solid particle agents are not intended or desired to be deposited onto the substrate and are removed during dilution and rinsing of the composition from the surface to which they are applied.
Given the broad range of benefits, which can be delivered through application and retention of solid particles on surfaces, however, it can be highly desirable to have rinse-off compositions capable of depositing an effective level of solid particles to the surface treated with compositions containing the desired solid particle benefit agent. Compositions intended to deposit solid particle benefit agents to hair or skin surfaces are known; however, the efficiency of deposition has heretofore been unacceptable, requiring either an excess of the solid particle agent in the composition to affect delivery or an unperceivable or unacceptable level of the benefit to be obtained. The efficient deposition and retention of solid particle benefit agents is particularly difficult from compositions intended for cleansing or washing of surfaces, such as personal cleansing products, which contain surfactants and other ingredients which are used to solubilize, suspend and remove particulate and oily substances from the surfaces treated therewith.
It remains, therefore, highly desirable to have a rinse-off composition, preferably a cleansing composition, capable of containing and effectively depositing and retaining solid particle benefit agents on the surface treated therewith. It has now been discovered that select cationic polymers, when used in the cleansing compositions of the present invention, can surprisingly enhance the deposition and retention of solid particle benefit agents on the surfaces treated therewith when they are mixed with the solid particle prior to addition to the remaining composition.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention meets the aforementioned needs by providing a personal cleansing composition comprising a cleansing surfactant, from about 0.1% to about 20% by weight of anionic particles, the balance being conventional adjunct personal cleansing ingredients, wherein the anionic particles are complexed with a cationic polymer to form aggregates prior to addition to the remaining composition and wherein the aggregates are present in the finished product. Preferably the anionic particles are selected from the group consisting of silicas, silicates, carbonates, any other silica-containing or non-silica-containing powder suitable for absorbing moisture or oil from the applied surface of the body and mixtures thereof and have a mean particle size of less than about 300μm.
This invention also provides a personal cleansing composition wherein the anionic particles have a Moisture Absorption Value of at least about 0.5. It is further preferred that the cationic polymer have a charge density of at least about 0.4 meq/gm and less than about 7 meq/gm. The invention further provides a personal cleansing composition wherein the cationic polymer is selected from the group consisting of polysaccharide polymers having the formula:
Figure imgf000004_0001
wherein A is an anhydroglucose residual group; R is selected from the group consisting of an alkylene oxyalkylene, polyoxyalkylene, and hydroxyalkylene group, or combinations thereof; R , R2, and R^ are independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl, arylalkyl, alkoxyalkyl, and alkoxyaryl groups, each group containing up to about 18 carbon atoms, and the total number of carbon atoms in R^, R^ and R^ being about 20 or less; and X is an anionic counterion, Polyquaternium 10, Polyquaternium 24, cationic guar gum derivatives, quaternary nitrogen-containing cellulose ethers, copolymers of etherified cellulose, guar and starch and mixtures thereof.

Additionally, a method of depositing particles onto human skin, hair or nails comprising the steps of applying the personal cleansing compositions as described herein to the skin and rinsing off is also provided.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 03 04884
The present invention achieves the aforementioned benefits by providing a rinse-off personal cleansing composition, which effectively deposits solid particles onto the human skin.
While the specification concludes with claims, which particularly point out and distinctly claim the invention, it is believed the present invention will be better understood from the following description.
The personal cleansing compositions of the present invention include detersive surfactant, anionic particles, a cationic polymer and conventional adjunct personal cleansing ingredients. Each of these components, as well as preferred or optional components, are described in detail hereinafter. All percentages, parts and ratios are based upon the total weight of the compositions of the present invention, unless otherwise specified. All such weights as they pertain to listed ingredients are based on the active level and, therefore, do not include solvents or by-products that may be included in commercially available materials, unless otherwise specified.
All molecular weights as used herein are weight average molecular weights expressed as grams/mole, unless otherwise specified.
The term "charge density", as used herein, refers to the ratio of the number of positive charges on a monomeric unit of which a polymer is comprised to the molecular weight of said monomeric unit. The charge density multiplied by the polymer molecular weight determines the number of positively charged sites on a given polymer chain. Herein, "comprising" means that other steps and other ingredients which do not affect the end result can be added. This term encompasses the terms "consisting of and "consisting essentially of. The compositions and methods/processes of the present invention can comprise, consist of, and consist essentially of the essential elements and limitations of the invention described herein, as well as any of the additional or optional ingredients, components, steps, or limitations described herein.
The term "fluid" as used herein, means a liquid or a gas.
The term "polymer" as used herein shall include materials whether made by polymerization of one type of monomer or made by two (i.e., copolymers) or more types of monomers. The term "solid particle" as used herein means a particle that is not a liquid or a gas.
The term "sphere" as used herein, means a spherical body, which is the set of points in a metric space whose distance from a fixed point is approximately constant. Here, the meaning of "approximately" is that the fixed points are within a distance of ±15%. The term "suitable for application to human skin" as used herein, means that the compositions or components thereof so described are suitable for use in contact with human skin without undue toxicity, incompatibility, instability, allergic response, and the like.
The term "water soluble" as used herein, means that the polymer is soluble in water in the present composition. In general, the polymer should be soluble at 25° C at a concentration of 0.1% by weight of the water solvent, preferably at 1%, more preferably at 5%, most preferably at 15%. Anionic Particles
The personal cleansing compositions of the present invention comprise solid anionic particles suspended or dispersed throughout the compositions. Particles are defined as anionic if they have a negative zeta potential as defined below. Zeta potentials are determined by using a Brookhaven Zeta Plus Zeta potential analyzer. A dilute suspension of particles (i.e. 0.1 g particles in 25 g deionized (Dl) water) is first prepared, then 1 to 2 drops of this suspension is diluted in 10 mM KC1. The pH of the system is not adjusted. Zeta potential analysis is performed on the sample diluted in KC1. For the purposes of this invention, particles are defined as anionic if the mean of 10 runs results in a negative zeta potential.
The solid anionic particles for use in the compositions of the present invention include moisture-absorbent materials such as silicas (or silicon dioxides), silicates, carbonates, and combinations thereof. The silicates are most typically those formed by reaction of a carbonate or silcate with an alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, or transition metal, specific non-limiting examples of which include calcium silicate, amorphous silicas (e.g., precipitated, fumed, gel and colloidal), calcium carbonate (e.g., chalk), magnesium carbonate, zinc carbonate, and combinations thereof. Non-limiting examples of some suitable silicates and carbonates for use herein are described in Van Nostrand Reinhold's Encyclopedia of Chemistry, 4th edition, pages 155, 169, 556, and 849 (1984), which descriptions are incorporated herein by reference. Absorbent powders are also described in U.S. Patent 6,004,584 (Peterson et al.), which description is incorporated herein by reference.
The average particle size of the solid anionic particles for use in the compositions is preferably less than about 300 μm. Preferably the solid anionic particles will have a particle size of from about O.Olμm to about 80μm, more preferably from about O.lμm to about 70μm and even more preferably from about lμm to about 60 μm. It has been found that the visible residue of such solid materials is greatly reduced when the average particle size of the solid materials is reduced. Typical processes used to reduce the particle size sufficiently include wet milling and 03 04884
controlled flow cavitation. In a wet milling process, a slurry is prepared with the particle to be reduced and water or other suitable fluid. The slurry is placed in a stirred media mill chamber with potential dispersants. The dispersants could be ceramic, stainless steel, polymeric coated materials or other and may range in size from 50 microns to 3 millimeters. The tip speed of the rotor arms may range between 5 to 20 meters per second and total particle residence time may vary from 30 to 300 seconds. Netzsch is a manufacturer of these types of stirred media mills.
The solid anionic particles remain solid within the composition and preferably provide fluid absorption properties when applied topically to the skin. Among the solid anionic particles for use herein, highly preferred are those that have a Moisture Absorption Value of at least about 0.5, preferably at least about 1.0, more preferably at least about 2.0, even more preferably at least about 2.5 grams of moisture absorption per gram of solid anionic particle as measured in accordance with the Moisture Absorption Test as described herein. These Moisture Absorption Values have been found to correlate with the ability of the topical compositions of the present invention containing such materials to provide moisture, sweat and/or sebum absorption from the applied surface over extended periods of time after topical application.
The concentration of solid anionic particles in the composition preferably ranges from about 0.1% to about 20%, more preferably from about 0.5% to about 10%, even more preferably from about 2% to about 8%, by weight of the composition.
It has been found, therefore, that the solid anionic particles as described herein can be formulated into the compositions of the present invention to provide long lasting or enduring moisture, sebum and/or sweat absorption from the skin or other applied area after application. Moisture Absorption Test
The solid anionic particles for use in the compositions of the present invention preferably have a minimum Moisture Absorption Value of at least about 0.5 gram gram, wherein the Moisture Absorption Value is determined in accordance with the following Moisture Absorption Test.
A powder chamber (Kruss Fiber Cell) and two filter papers (Rruss filter paper, part # FL12PLP) are preweighed on a balance and balance tared. One of the filter papers is then placed at the bottom of the powder chamber. The sample of absorbent powder to be tested is then packed into the chamber using a spatula. The mass of powder loaded into the chamber will vary depending upon the density of the powder, but will most typically range from about 0.50 grams to about 3.5 grams of powder packed into the powder chamber. A second filter paper is then placed on top of the packed powder and the screw cap for the chamber is placed on the chamber. The 03 04884
chamber knob is then rotated by hand until the powder is firmly packed and the knob can no longer be rotated manually. The powder chamber is then placed within a Kruss Tensiometer. The Tensiometer glass dish is then filled with distilled water and positioned on the stage device. The Tensiometer is then turned on and the stage is raised to just below the powder chamber so that the powder does not yet contact the distilled water in the dish. The Tensiometer is then balanced and allowed to tare. The stage is raised until the powder chamber is immersed 9 mm in the distilled water. The mass of the powder sample is measured every fifteen seconds until the mass has reached equilibrium and no longer fluctuates drastically.
The Water Absorption Value is then determined for any given sample by calculating the difference between the mass of the powder chamber at 15 seconds and the mass of the powder chamber at the equilibrium point, divided by the mass of powder initially loaded into the chamber. Cationic Polymer
The compositions of the present invention include a cationic deposition polymer of sufficiently high cationic charge density to effectively enhance deposition of the solid particle component described herein. Suitable cationic polymers will have cationic charge densities of at least about 0.4 meq/gm, preferably at least about 0.7 meq/gm, more preferably at least about 0.9 meq/gm, but also preferably less than about 7 meq/gm, more preferably less than about 5 meq/gm, at the pH of intended use of the personal cleansing composition, which pH will generally range from about pH 3 to about pH 9, preferably between about pH 4 and about pH 8. The average molecular weight of such suitable cationic polymers will generally be between about 10,000 and 10 million, preferably between about 50,000 and about 5 million, more preferably between about 100,000 and about 3 million. The "cationic charge density" of a polymer, as that term is used herein, refers to the ratio of the number of positive charges on a monomeric unit of which the polymer is comprised to the molecular weight of said monomeric unit. The cationic charge density multiplied by the polymer molecular weight determines the number of positively charged sites on a given polymer chain.
The concentration of the cationic polymer in the personal cleansing composition ranges from about 0.05% to about 3%, preferably from about 0.075% to about 2.0%, more preferably from about 0.1% to about 1.0%, by weight of the personal cleansing composition. The weight ratio of cationic polymer to solid anionic particle in the personal cleansing compositions is from about 2:1 to about 1:100, preferably from about 1:1 to about 1:50, more preferably from about 1:1 to about 1:30. The cationic polymer for use in the personal cleansing composition of the present invention contains cationic nitrogen-containing moieties such as quaternary ammonium or cationic protonated a ino moieties. The cationic protonated amines can be primary, secondary, or tertiary amines (preferably secondary or tertiary), depending upon the particular species and the selected pH of the personal cleansing composition. Any anionic counterions can be used in association with the cationic polymers so long as the polymers remain soluble in water, in the personal cleansing composition, or in a coacervate phase of the personal cleansing composition, and so long as the counterions are physically and chemically compatible with the essential components of the personal cleansing composition or do not otherwise unduly impair product performance, stability or aesthetics. Non limiting examples of such counterions include halides (e.g., chlorine, fluorine, bromine, iodine), sulfate and methylsulfate.
The cationic nitrogen-containing moiety of the cationic polymer is generally present as a substituent on all, or more typically on some, of the monomer units thereof. Thus, the cationic polymer for use in the personal cleansing composition includes homopolymers, copolymers, terpolymers, and so forth, of quaternary ammonium or cationic amine-substituted monomer units, optionally in combination with non-cationic monomers referred to herein as spacer monomers. Non limiting examples of such polymers are described in the CTFA Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary, 3rd edition, edited by Estrin, Crosley, and Haynes, (The Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association, Inc., Washington, D.C. (1982)), which description is incorporated herein by reference.
Cationic polymers for use in the personal cleaning compositions described herein will preferably have a settling time of less than the settling time of the same compositions without the polymer added, as determined by the settling test described below. Settling test 4 grams of neat product is placed into a 50 ml conical bottom centrifuge tube (Corning part # 430304 or similar) and diluted with 36 grams of distilled water. The tube is then capped and shaken vigorously until all of the product has been dispersed. This is considered the initial time. The tube is then let stand vertically. For products containing powder, the system will be opaque due to the suspension of the powder. To screen polymer systems, batches with and without polymer are made and compared in this test. Preferred polymers result in a settling of the particles on a rapid time scale, generally on the order of less than 5 minutes, however, any settling time less than that of the same composition without polymer indicates a suitable polymer. Settling can be observed by the ability to read markings on the back of the centrifuge tube 03 04884
through the top half of the sample, which will initially not be visible due to the cloudiness of the product. The time taken for this to occur is considered the settling time.

Some preferred hydroxyl-containing stabilizers include 12-hydroxystearic acid, 9,10- dihydroxystearic acid, tri-9,10-dihydroxystearin and tri-12-hydroxystearin (hydrogenated castor oil is mostly tri-12-hydroxystearin). Tri-12-hydroxystearin is most preferred for use in the compositions herein.
The adjunct ingredients as described herein shall specifically exclude, however, any essential ingredient or material as otherwise described or defined herein. However, it should be understood that compositions according to the present invention may contain additional cationic polymers as adjunct ingredients separate from the polymer that is premixed with the anionic particles. Optional Particulates
The compositions of the present invention may further comprise particulates other than and in addition to the solid anionic particles described herein. These optional particulates can be dispersed throughout the composition to allow for deposition onto the hair, nails or skin after topical application of the composition. The optional particulate can be any skin active agent or other material known for or otherwise useful in application to and deposition onto the hair, nails or skin. Such particulates include materials such as emollients, perfumes, vitamins, sunscreens, pigments or colorants, pharmaceuticals or other skin active agents, or any other material that provides a cosmetic, skin active, or other consumer desirable benefit when applied to and deposited on the hair, nails, or skin. Method of Manufacture
The present invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a personal cleansing composition. To achieve improved deposition of the anionic particles onto the skin, the anionic particles and the cationic polymer must be mixed together and allowed to form aggregates. It is necessary to first hydrate the cationic polymer with distilled water, then add the anionic particles to the cationic polymer and agitate until the dispersion is smooth. In a separate vessel mix the surfactants and adjunct ingredients and then add to the particle/polymer dispersion. pH and viscosity can at this time be adjusted by conventional means. The aggregates of the anionic particles and the cationic polymer will be visible, in the finished product, under a microscope. Method of Use
The personal cleansing compositions of the present invention are used in a conventional manner for cleansing hair or skin and providing enhanced deposition of solid particles and other benefits of the present invention. An effective amount of the composition for cleansing the hair or skin is applied to the hair or skin that has preferably been wetted with water, and then rinsed off. Such effective amounts generally range from about lg to about 50g, preferably from about lg to about 20g.
This method for cleansing the hair and skin comprises the steps of: a) wetting the hair and/or skin with water, b) applying an effective amount of the personal cleansing composition to the hair and/or skin, and c) rinsing the composition from the hair and/or skin using water. These steps can be repeated as many times as desired to achieve the desired cleansing and particle deposition benefits.
The following examples further describe and demonstrate the preferred embodiments within the scope of the present invention. The examples are given solely for the purpose of illustration, and are not to be construed as limitations of the present invention since many variations thereof are possible without departing from its scope.
