January 29,1996, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
Background of the Invention
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to conditioning detergent compositions suitable for use in personal cleansing
applicatiorfwhich not only impart cleansing, wet detangling, dry detangling and manageability properties to
hair, but also which are relatively non-irritating and thus suitable for use by young children and adults
having sensitive skin and eyes.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In the past, it has been considered desirable to cleanse hair and then to condition it after
cleansing. For many years, it was necessary to perform these acts in two separate steps. However, with
the advent of so-called "two-in-one" conditioning shampoos, it became possible to condition and cleanse
simultaneously. Unfortunately, many of these two-in-one conditioning shampoos and body cleansers have
proven to be relatively irritating to the eyes and skin and uncomfortable for use with children or sensitive
adults. Therefore, it is an object of this invention to create a conditioning shampoo which has good
cleansing ability, excellent conditioning properties and has a low degree of ocular and skin irritation.

The invention illustratively disclosed herein suitably may be practiced in the absence of any
component, ingredient, or step which is not specifically disclosed herein. Several examples are set forth
below to further illustrate the nature of the invention and the manner of carrying it out. However, the
invention should not be considered as being limited to the details thereof.
Examples
All amounts of materials are given in parts by weight based on 100 parts of the overall formulation,
unless stated otherwise. The following test procedures were used in the following Examples:
1. Hair Conditioning Properties: Conditioning properties of shampoos are determined by measuring the
average energy and force required to comb hair in the wet and dry state after the hair has been washed
with a particular shampoo formulation in accordance with the method set forth as follows:
a) Preparation of Hair samples: Human hair tresses are prepared by weighing out about 10-12
grams of virgin brown hair, and binding the cuticle end with a cable tie and hot melt glue. The cuticle end
of the bundle is positioned in a binder clip. The hair is fanned out evenly over the width of the binder clip.
Hot melt glue is applied along the edge of the binder clip, joining the clip and the hair. Glue is applied to
the inside of the clip for further strength. A rubber band is applied to the outside of the clip, to keep the
jaws of the clip from separating. The glue is allowed to dry thoroughly. The tress is washed to remove
contaminants such as dust or shampoo residue by immersing the tress in methanol for ten seconds and
removing the tress and allowing it to air dry. Loose hair is removed. Tangles are removed by combing the
tresses with a standard comb or brush. Static charge buildup is removed using a static reducing gun.
The number of trials required for the test is equal to the number of formulations (and suitable
controls) under test. The formulations are randomized such that each product is applied to each tress at
some point in time. Two shampooings each using about 1 cc of shampoo composition are required. The
tress is thoroughly wet under running, 100'F tap water. About 1 cc of a given shampoo composition is
applied evenly from top to bottom of the tress. Using the fingers of both hands, the shampoo is rubbed into
the hair for approximately 30 seconds to produce lather. The tress is then rinsed thoroughly under running,
100'F water. The tress is then again washed and rinsed using a second 1 cc sample of product. The tress
is then allowed to drip dry for 5 minutes.
The tresses are then suspended from a sturdy ring stand such that they hang freely and have
several inches of clearance between the bottom of the tress and the top of the bench.
b) Wet Detanalina Enemy. A Combing Force Device (CFD), which is a hand held,
electromechanical instrument which measures the amount of force or energy required to pass a comb
through the hair, is held horizontally in the one hand and tangles are removed from the tresses by starting
at the lower portion of the tress and moving the CFD downward. Each successive stroke is started at a
point which is higher than the previous stroke. This measurement continues until the CFD passes freely
through the entire length of the tress. Once all tangles have been removed, three top-to-bottom strokes
complete the detangling measurement. The cumulative energy to detangle the hair tresses is reported as
wet detangling energy, in units of gram-seconds (g/sec).
c) Wet Comb Force: After the detangling energy measurement is completed on all tresses, the
tresses are measured for wet comb force. A sensor attached to a curling iron measures the twisting, or
torsional force of the curling iron as the instrument is moved though the hair. The instrument is passed
through the detangled tresses about 25 times. Comb force, expressed in grams, is the median force
required to pass the comb through the detangled tress.
d) Dry Detanalina Energy. After the tresses are blow-dried until they are no longer damp, the
detangling procedure set forth in b is repeated using the dry tresses.
e) Dry Comb Force: After the tresses are blow-dried until they are no longer damp and dry
detangling energy is determined, the combing procedure set forth in c) is repeated using the dry tresses.
2.) Ocular irritation Properties: Irritation to the eyes expected for a given formulation is measured in
accordance with the Invittox Protocol Number 86, the Trans-epithelial Permeability (TEP) Assay" as set
forth in Invittox Protocol Number 86 (May 1994). In general, the ocular irritation potential of a product can
be evaluated by determining its effect on the permeability of a cell layer, as assessed by the leakage of
fluorescein through the layer. Monolayers of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells are grown to
confluence on microporous inserts in a 24-well plate containing medium or assay buffer in the lower wells.
The irritation potential of a product is evaluated by measuring the damage to the permeability barrier in the
cell monolayer following a 15 minute exposure to dilutions of the product. Barrier damage is assessed by
the amount of sodium fluorescein that has leaked through to the lower well after 30 minutes, as determined
spectrophotometrically. The fluorescein leakage is plotted against the concentration of test material to
determine the EC50 (the concentration of test material that causes 50% of maximum dye leakage, i.e., 50%
damage to the permeability barrier).
Exposure of a layer of MDCK cells grown on a microporous membrane to a test sample is a
model for the first event that occurs when an irritant comes in contact with the eye. In vivo, the outermost
layers of the comeal epithelium form a selectively permeable barrier due to the presence of tight junctions
between cells. On exposure to an irritant, the tight junctions separate, thereby removing the permeability
barrier. Fluid is imbibed to the underlying layers of epithelium and to the stroma, causing the collagen
lamellae to separate, resulting in opacity. The TEP assay measures the effect of an irritant on the
breakdown of tight junctions between cells in a layer of MDCK cells grown on a microporous insert.
Damage is evaluated spectrophotometrically, by measuring the amount of marker dye (sodium
fluorescein) that leaks through the cell layer and microporous membrane to the lower well. Generally, a
passing score is reflected in an EC50 of 2.2% or higher.
Example 1: Compounding of Shampoo Composition
The following pre-blends were prepared:
Preblend A: 1.5 parts of PEG 6000 DS were mixed with 20 parts deionized water at 65°C in a mixing
vessel until a homogeneous mixture was obtained.
Preblend B: 1.00 part glycerine was added to a mixing vessel. 0.1 part Jaguar C17 was added slowly with
agitation and the agitation was continued for 15 minutes. 10.0 parts water were added, 20% citric acid
solution was added to adjust the pH of the blend to 4.0, and agitation was continued for an additional 15
minutes.
Preblend C: 1.0 part Atlas G-4280 was mixed with 0.25 parts fragrance.
Preblend D: 0.05 parts Dowicil 200 were blended with 0.15 parts water and the mixture was stirred until
solution was obtained.
After charging 25.75 parts water to a mixing vessel, 0.19 parts of Polymer JR-400 was added
thereto with maintained agitation until a clear solution was obtained. 12.16 parts Tegobetaine L7, 9.50
parts Cedepal TD-403M, 2.85 Monateric 949J and 5.5 parts Atlas G-4280 were added sequentially to the
solution with agitation. After Preblend A, which was maintained at a temperature of 65°C, was added with
agitation to the solution, Preblend C was then added thereto with agitation. An additional 1.14 parts of
Tegobetaine L7 was then added thereto. 0.18 part Versene 100 XL, 3.21 parts of dye solution, preblend D,
4.00 parts Euperian PK 3000 and 0.75 parts DC 345 were then added sequentially with agitation thereto.
Citric acid solution was added in an amount to adjust the pH of the solution to 6.0. Preblend B was then
added with agitation. The pH was then checked and adjusted to 6.0 with additional citric acid solution. The
amounts of the ingredients used to make the composition of Example 1 are shown in Table 1 below.
The resulting composition was tested for detangling energy and comb force, and the results are
provided in Table 2 below: Ocular Irritation of the resulting composition was also measured, and the data
are presented in Table 3.
Example 2: Compounding of Shampoo Composition without cyclomethicone
The procedure of Example 1 was repeated using the ingredients as set forth in Table 1. The
resulting composition was tested for detangling energy and comb force, and the results are provided in
Table 2 below:
Comparative Example 1: Compounding of Shampoo Composition without auar cationic
conditioner or cvclomethicone:
The procedure of Example 1 was repeated using the ingredients as set forth in Table 1. The
resulting composition was tested for detangling energy and comb force, and the results are provided in
Table 2 below:
Comparative Example 2: Compounding of Shampoo Composition without Polyquatemium-10 or
cvclomethicone
The procedure of Example 1 was repeated using the ingredients as set forth in Table 1. The
resulting composition was tested for detangling energy and comb force, and the results are provided in
Table 2 below:
Table 2 - Detangling Energy and Comb Force Measurements
As indicated by the data in Table 2, the formulations of Examples 1 and 2, which contain both
Polyquatemium-10 and Guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride, exhibit significantly improved wet
detangling force (lower detangling energy) than either of Comparative examples 1 or 2, each of which
contains only one of the conditioners.
In accordance with prior experience, Polyquatemium-10, when used as the sole conditioner in a
shampoo formulation, was known to have imparted dry hair managability benefits to the compositions.
Similarly, cationic guar compounds have been known to impart wet detangling benefits. Due to the
cationic nature of both of these compounds, it was thought that these compounds, when used mixed
together, would have competed for the anionic sites on the hair and would thus not have resulted in a
shampoo composition exhibiting both improved wet and dry detangling benefits. However, we have
unexpectedly found that the combination of cationic cellulose derivatives and cationic guar derivatives in
the compositions of this invention imparts superior wet and dry detangling properties to the compositions.
More specifically, the wet and dry detangling energy is much lower when using the combination of
conditioners of this invention, i.e., cationic guar derivatives and Polyquatemium-10, than if either of the
conditioners are used alone.
Example 1 differs from Example 2 in the presence of volatile silicone in formulation. As seen
from the data in Table 2, the presence of volatile silicone in Example 1 results in a further reduction in dry
detangling energy. Thus, it can be seen that the combination of cationic polymer conditioners and volatile
silicone of the compositions of this invention afford both excellent wet detangling and dry detangling
benefits.
As indicated above, formulations which exhibit a mean EC50 value of 2.2 or higher are deemed to
pass the ocular irritation test while those exhibiting an EC50 value below 2.2 are deemed to fail the test As
shown in Table 3, the formulation of Example 1 exhibits a passing value, which is on par with Johnson's
Baby Shampoo, a commercial shampoo known for its ocular mildness. In contrast, other commercial
shampoos, i.e., the Pert Plus products marketed by the Proctor & Gamble Company, fail the test.
Thus, it can be seen from the above Examples that the compositions of the present invention
possess superior wet and dry detangling capabilities while retaining low ocular irritation values.
