Composition for cleaning keratin fibers and its use

The present invention relates to a composition for cleaning keratin fibres, in particular the hair. The invention also relates to a process for cleaning keratin fibres, in particular the skin, the scalp and/or the hair, using the composition of the present invention.

Context

Keratin fibers are widely present on the surface of the human body, for example, especially in the hair. Many people have long sought to clean the keratin fiber, in order to feel comfortable in everyday life and at work. Various products are developed to meet a person's keratin fiber cleansing requirements, many of which are used to provide both cleansing and some other effects.

Keratin fibers, especially the hair, are cleaned and treated to improve their appearance, color, style, etc. Thus, various cleansing and/or conditioning components are added directly into the shampoo. Further, in addition to cleaning and conditioning functions, some other properties are also important to attract consumers, such as special fragrance, good appearance, smooth feeling, ease of use, and the like. For example, many consumers like the smooth feel of the hair instead of the tangling of the strands.

An object of the present invention is therefore a cleansing composition for cleaning keratin fibers comprising:

at least one cationic polymer, comprising a cationic cellulose copolymer or a cellulose derivative grafted with a water-soluble quaternary ammonium monomer, optionally with an additional cationic polymer; And

at least one non-volatile silicone oil chosen from polydialkylsiloxanes with terminal dimethylsilanol groups having 500 repeating units or more.

The composition according to the present invention is particularly useful for a shampoo product.

The present invention also relates to a process for cleaning keratin fibres, in particular keratin fibers on the surface of the body, in particular the hair, using the cleaning composition according to the invention.

The present invention therefore proposes the use of the composition of the present invention for cleaning keratin fibers.

Compositions A and B listed above were prepared according to a manufacturing process known in the field.

Compositions A and B were obtained in the form of a shampoo product according to the present invention.

Example 2

Compositions A and B were evaluated. Equivalent samples of 6g, 27cm Chinese hair strands were used. The same DIASTRON MTT175 device, but with different parts, was used for two tests: TOUCHAIR test (for the average friction force (reported in N)) and DETANGLE test (for the average disentangling force (reported in N) ), following standard procedures for both tests on the device. For each trial, a relatively lower value represented a better result. The evaluation was carried out according to the following steps:

1) All the locks of hair were washed twice with cleansing compositions A and B (1.6g + 1.2g/6g lock of hair) according to procedure RC-MCI-OIP-003B;

2) Then, the frictional force was measured for all the wicks with the TOUCHAIR test in wet condition;

3) All hair strands were grouped into groups with similar average wet friction force and its standard deviation;

4) The locks were respectively treated with all the products according to the standard procedures but with 2 applications (dosage: 1.6g + 1.2g);

5) Then, the frictional force was measured for all the wicks with the TOUCHAIR test in wet condition;

6) The locks of hair were naturally dried overnight and stored in an H&T chamber (23°C, 50% RH);

7) Then, the frictional force was measured again for all the locks with the TOUCHAIR test in dry condition;

8) All hair strands pass through the wind blowing in the T&H chamber (10 min) to generate tangles;

9) The detangling force was measured with the Detangle test in dry conditions;

10) Sections of hair were twisted in a blender with water (10s for each) to create tangles;

11) Detangling force was measured with the Wet Detangle test under wet conditions.

The results are shown in Table 2 below.

Results Layout A1 Comparative composition B dry smooth (N) 1.78 2.32 wet smooth (N) 2.11 2.2 wet detangling (N) 3.25 5.16
