Description

METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR THE CONDITIONING OF SKIN AND HAIR BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to compositions for conditioning the skin and hair. More specifically, it relates to compositions for the conditioning of skin and hair containing conditioning agents of sucroglycerides, hair conditioners and shampoos that condition the hair.

Description of Related Art Human hair becomes dirty due to its contact with the surrounding atmosphere and, to a greater degree, sebum secreted by the head. The progressive accumulation of sebum causes the hair to have a dirty feeling and an unattractive appearance. Hair fouling needs to be treated with shampoo with frequent regularity.

Treating hair with shampoo cleans it by removing excess dirt and sebum. However, the process of treating with shampoo has the disadvantages in that the hair can be left in a wet, entangled state and in general a non-manageable or docile state. Treating with shampoo can also result in the hair becoming dry or "matted" due to the removal of natural oils or other materials that moisten the hair. After treating with shampoo, the hair can also suffer a perceived loss of "softness". Of course, softness is, in general, a desirable attribute for many users of shampoo products. A variety of approaches have been developed to lighten the problems after shampooing. These vary from the use of a conditioning treatment after shampooing, i.e., hair rinses, to the inclusion of hair conditioners in the shampoo compositions themselves, ie, conditioning shampoos. Hair rinses typically work by depositing a polymeric film, a hair conditioning surfactant, cationic, or other material on the hair. However, such compositions, due to a variety of problems, have not been completely satisfactory. For example, hair rinses are generally liquid in nature and should be applied in a separate step after shampooing, leaving on hair for a long time, and rinsing with clean water. Of course, this is time consuming and not convenient. Conditioning shampoos containing cationic conditioning agents have been described in, for example, European Patent No. 018 717. These cationic agents confer some conditioning benefit on the hair, but are often thought to leave a residue on the hair, which It can cause hair opacification after drying. Non-volatile silicone oils are useful as conditioning agents. However, the use of such oils is associated with some difficulties. A particularly difficult problem encountered with shampoos containing such oils is the maintenance of the insoluble silicone oil suspended in a stable manner. A variety of materials have been proposed for use in shampoos containing silicone to condense and stabilize the shampoo. These materials include, for example, xanthan gum, long chain acyl derivatives, long chain amine oxides, and long chain alkanolamides. These materials are described in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,788,006, 4,704,272 and 4,741,885. In addition, excessive amounts of silicone can opacify the hair, and the progressive accumulation of silicone on the hair can give a greasy appearance. In addition, the incorporation of silicone oils in general produces a foam suppression effect. Accordingly, there is a need for conditioning agents capable of overcoming these problems.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides cleaning and conditioning formulations for the skin and hair of humans comprising a composition of sucroglycerides in a base formulation. In this way, the invention encompasses conditioning shampoos and various formulations for personal care. Representative compositions include, for example, facial cleansers, foaming bath and gel, bar and liquid soaps, shaving creams, and anti-dandruff shampoos. It also encompasses other cleaning compositions containing a surfactant or detergent base. Representative of these other cleaning compositions are the liquid washer, in small quantities. The invention also provides methods for conditioning human hair or skin comprising contacting human hair or skin with an effective conditioning amount of a sucroglyceride composition. The sucroglyceride compositions suitable for use in the invention are anionic in character, ie they include an anionic component together with nonionic components. The sucroglycerides of the invention typically comprise monoesters of sucrose, salts of the aliphatic fatty acids derived from the triglyceride (soaps), sucrose, monoglycerides, glycerin and a mixture of diglycerides and triglycerides. The inventive compositions enjoy a variety of advantages over known conditioning agents. Sucroglycerides are derived from natural, non-toxic sources and are easily biodegradable. In addition, these are odorless, tasteless and benign to human skin. Sucroglycerides are not sensitizers; These are not allergenic and do not cause skin irritation. In addition, sucroglycerides function as excellent emulsifiers for a wide range of oils. In addition, they self-emulsify and self-suspend. In addition, these can be easily combined with conventional nionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants to provide many different conditioning formulations. In addition, sucroglycerides do not suppress the foam produced by the surfactants and do not cause progressive accumulation in the hair. The sucroglycerides also provide a pearlescent, temporary gloss effect to shampoos and other detergents based on personal care compositions. The sucroglycerides of the invention comprise a mixture of products resulting from the reaction between sucrose and a triglyceride. The sucroglycerides of the invention can optionally be prepared by mixing the required amount of each of the components required to achieve a sucroglyceride composition, specific.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Unless indicated otherwise, the amounts of all components described herein are indicated in percent by weight. As used herein, the term "sucroglyceride" or "sucrose glyceride" means a mixture of products (1) obtained directly from the transesterification between sucrose and natural or synthetic triglycerides; This mixture contains monoglycerides, diglycerides, undisturbed triglyceride, sucrose esters and soaps; or (2) obtained by combining predetermined amounts of sucrose, sucrose esters, glycerin, monoglyceride, di- and tri-glycerides, and soap (salts of fatty acids). As used in the present, "triglyceride" means one or more triglyceride (s) or aliphatic fatty acids, saturated or unsaturated, having at least 8 carbon atoms, preferably 8-22 carbon atoms, and most preferably 8 to 18 carbon atoms; carbon. Although synthetic triglycerides can be obtained from a glycerol and fatty acid reaction, it is preferable to use naturally occurring triglycerides, ie, mixtures of triglycerides. By "progressive accumulation", as used herein, is meant a greasy or oily feel and / or appearance on the hair caused by the deposition on the hair of successive layers of conditioning agents, such as cationic polymers, surfactants. cationic, silicone oils or combinations thereof. Naturally occurring, representative triglycerides include, for example, lard, tallow, coconut oil, butter oil, cottonseed oil, linseed oil, coconut oil, olive oil, palm oil, grapeseed oil, fish oil, soybean oil, castor oil, copra oil, rapeseed oil, oily resinous liquid, sunflower oil, sorghum oil, sesame oil, safflower oil, kernel oil the palm, linseed oil, and corn oil. Preferred sucroglycerides for use in the invention include sucroglycerides derived from cottonseed oil, palm oil, and baits. The sucroglycerides suitable for use in the invention are predominantly nonionic and include an anionic component in addition to the nonionic components. The nonionic component is typically soap or soaps, that is, salts of the fatty acids derived from the triglyceride. Preferred sucroglycerides for use in the invention are those capable of providing a conditioning effect for hair or human skin (the substrate) when contact with the substrate is allowed. When such sucroglycerides are brought into contact with the substrate, they are deposited on the substrate whereby they provide a "conditioned feeling" to the substrate. This conditioned feeling is apparent, for example, during the wet or dry combing of human hair. It is also seen as a soft or silky posterior sensation on the skin or hair. The sucroglycerides of the invention are typically in the state of a solid, semi-solid or paste depending on the composition and length of the triglyceride chain. In this way, these can be low melting solids having melting points from about 75 to 80 ° C. These sucroglycerides can be prepared by a transesterification reaction between a triglyceride and sucrose. The reaction is conducted in the presence of at least a catalytic amount of a strong base, preferably an alkali metal salt. The reaction is mixed at a high degree of shear at a temperature of about 125 ° C and allowed to proceed for about 7 to 15, preferably 10, hours.
