BACKGROUND Of THE INVENTION 1 Field of invention The present invention relates to detergent compositions that not only effectively cleanse the hair but also impart superior wet stage and dry stage conditioning properties to the hair in a single application The present invention is further directed to a novel delivery system for delivering benefit agents onto and/or into the surface of the skin, nails, and/or hair, and methods of using such systems 2. Background of the Invention and Prior Art Consumers often desire to have a hair shampoo that not only effectively cleanses the hair, but that also imparts other desirable properties, such as conditioning and lathering, to the hair Because nonionic, amphoteric and zwitterionic surfactants are relatively inferior cleansing surfactants in comparison to anionic surfactants, hair shampoos generally are formulated with the latter, which thoroughly cleanses as opposed to conditions the hair. Hence, hair that has been shampooed with an anionic surfactant- based composition usually appears unconditioned and is considered to be cosmetically unappealing. Furthermore, anionic surfactants adversely leave the hair with an undesirable harsh and "dry to the touch" feel, which is difficult to comb in either the wet or dry state. Even after complete drying, such thoroughly cleansed hair remains unsatisfactory in hair softness and "flyaway" properties. Thus, it is usually necessary to perform a post-shampoo conditioning step to such hair in order to ameliorate these undesirable physical characteristics. With the advent of so-called "two-in-one" conditioning shampoos, it became possible to condition and cleanse hair simultaneously. However, it is well known that the formulation of such "two-in-one" conditioning shampoos is difficult due to the inherent incompatibility between the cleansing anionic surfactants and the cationic conditioning agents. Unfortunately, those known "two-in-one" conditioning shampoos that have overcome the incompatibility problem disadvantageously possess inferior cleansing and conditioning properties. One known method for reducing the incompatibility between the anionic surfactants and the cationic conditioning agents is through the use of alternative, non-anionic surfactants and improved cationic conditioning agents. However, such alternative, non-anionic surfactants possess relatively inferior cleansing properties. Other efforts have concentrated on varying the types of conditioners. Cationic conditioning agents disadvantageously do not generally provide optimal overall conditioning benefits, particularly in the areas of" softness" and " wet/dry combing", when delivered as an ingredient in a shampoo composition. Water- insoluble conditioning agents, such as the non-volatile silicones that are well recognized in the art as providing a degree of softness to the hair, often results in unstable "two-in-one" formulations. See U.S. Patent 4,704,272; U.S. Patent 4,741,855; and U.S. Patent RE 34.584. Substantive cationic polymers, which are capable of depositing on the hair shaft during shampooing to impart the desired degree of manageability, disadvantageously result in formulations that give the hair a greasy feeling or "build-up" on hair. See U.S. Patent 5,221,530; U.S. Patent 5,417,965; U.S. Patent 4,292,212; and U.S. Patent 4,472,297. Another important property of cleansing compositions that is desired by consumers is lathering. Consumers often associate high lathering with effective cleansing, and typically prefer high lathering shampoos to low lathering shampoos from an aesthetic standpoint. Unfortunately, many therapeutic shampoos, in particular those possessing therapeutic agents such as anti-dandruff agents, contain active agents that tend to adversely affect lathering performance. It is well known that the deposition of therapeutic aaents on the hair or skin may be improved via significantly increasing the levels of therapeutic agents in the shampoo compositions. However, not only does the use of such high levels therapeutic agents disadvantageously increase raw materials costs, but also it also reduces the latherability of the shampoo and deleteriously affects product stability. The presence of detergents in the anti-dandruff shampoos also interferes with the ability of therapeutic agents to deposit onto the hair because the detergents are designed to carry or remove oil, grease, dirt, and particulate matter from the hair and scalp during rinsing. Accordingly, it would be highly desirable to find a "two-in-one" cleansing composition capable of effectively cleansing and detangling the hair while imparting superior wet and dry combing and softness thereto, without creating "build-up". It would also be desirable to have a high-lathering "two-in-one" cleansing composition that not only effectively cleansed the hair but also deposited a significant amount of therapeutic agents onto the hair and skin.

We have unexpectedly found that the above-described cleansing composition/ delivery system is capable of efficiently mediating the deposition and permeation of various benefit agents, such as antidandruff agents, onto and into the skin following topical administration thereto. We have surprisingly found that the cleansing composition of the present invention is sufficiently stable to resist phase separation even though both an anionic surfactant and cationic components may be present in the composition. Furthermore, the cleansing composition not only effectively cleanses the hair due to the ability to include an anionic surfactant therein, but it also effectively deposits conditioning agents on the hair without exhibiting an excessive build-up thereon, even after repeated shampooing. Consequently, the hair is left in a more manageable, softer, shiny and overall more esthetically pleasing state after only a single application of the composition to the hair. We have further unexpectedly found that the above-described delivery system is capable of efficiently mediating the deposition and permeation of various benefit agents, such as antidandruff agents, onto and into the skin, hair, and nails, following topical administration thereto. The invention illustratively disclosed herein suitably may be practiced in the absence of any component, ingredient, or step which is not specifically disclosed herein.

Example 9: Multiple Attribute Assessment Study A large-scale consumer study was conducted to assess a variety of attributes such as cleansing ability; hair combing attributes (e.g. wet combing and dry combing); hair softness; and lather attributes (e.g. the amount of lather and the creaminess of the lather). The four formulations tested in this study included: 1) the formulation prepared in accordance with Example 3; 2) "Pantene Pro-V" regular shampoo for normal hair commercially available from Procter & Gamble; 3) "Johnson's pH 5.5" regular shampoo for normal hair commercially available from Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies, Inc.; and 4) "Johnson's pH 5.5" regular shampoo modified with a different fragrance. For each of the four above-mentioned test products, 250 female subjects between the age of 16- 65 who use regular shampoos for normal hair were selected to participate in a blinded, monadic in-home use study. After using the test product for 2 weeks, each subject completed a questionnaire which asked them to rate the overall performance of the test product as well as and various attributes associated therewith. The following table is a summary of the results from study: (1): formulations identified with a "(1)" are significantly higher than those formulations identified with a "(2)" at 95% two tailed level of confidence; (3): formulations identified with a "(3)" are significantly higher than those formulations identified with a "(4)" at 80% two tail level of confidence This Example showed that the formulation of Example 3 ranked superior with respect to the subject's satisfaction in all the attributes listed above. More specifically, the formulation of Example 3 performed significantly better relative to the performance of the pH 5.5 product with either the original and modified fragrance with respect to the following attributes: wet combing, dry combing, hair softness, cleansing, amount of lather and creaminess of the lather. The formulation of Example 3 also performed significantly superior relative to the performance of Pantene with respect to wet combing, amount of lather and creaminess of the lather. This Example showed that the subjects perceived that the formulation of Example 3 performed the best overall with respect to the attributes tested. Example 10: Hair Softness Assessment 80 Caucasian females between the ages of 18 and 65 years old were selected to participate in a blind hair softness assessment study conducted by professional hair stylists. Prior to participating in the study, each subject did not wash their hair for a period of 24 hours prior to the study entry. All of the subjects as well as the stylist completed two different questionnaires relating to the hair quality and hair softness of each panelist before the study commenced. The following three methods were used for purposes of assessing hair softness: 1) pat and compress hair with hands; 2) run fingers through the hair; and 3) feel the hair fibers/strands with fingers. After 3 cc of the formulation of Example 3 was applied via a syringe onto the hair on each respective subject's head, the stylist then shampooed the hair of each respective subject. After this procedure was repeated twice per subject, the hair of each subject was then blown until the hair was completely dried. No other styling aides were used on hair or scalp of any of the subjects. After the drying procedure, both the respective subject as well as the stylist conducted an independent evaluation of the respective subject's hair softness, using the Softness scale as set forth in Table 10 below. The results of the evaluations are set forth in Table 11 below. It is evident from the data above that the formulation of Example 3 significantly increased the softness of the hair as determined independently by the stylist and the subjects. Each respective subject as well as the stylist also conducted an independent, post-drying evaluation of the degree of softness of each respective subject's hair, using the Hair Softness Quantification Sca.e as set forth in Tab.e 12 below. The results of the evaluations are set forth in Table 13 below. From the data above, it is evident that the formulation of Example 3 was approximately two to three times more soft as a result of shampooing with this cleansing base. Example 11: Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) to Assess Si Deposition A formulation was prepared in accordance with the procedure set forth in Example 3, except that: a) the Biosil SPQ silicone agent was used instead at a concentration of 1 weight percent as opposed to 0.2 weight percent; b) the Salcare cationic agent was used instead at a concentration of 0.05 weight percent as opposed to 0.08 weight percent; and c) the Jaguar cationic agent was used instead at a concentration of 0.1 weight percent as opposed to 0.15 weight percent. One hair tress was independently washed five times, followed by complete drying of the tress in between washings, with Pantene Pro-V 2-in-1 shampoo for normal hair that is commercially available from The Procter and Gamble Company, and another hair tress was similarly washed with the formulation of Example 3 as modified in Example 11 and dried. Scanning SIMS (secondary ion mass spectrometry) was then used to characterize the distribution of silicone ions from the silicone-containing polymers that were deposited on the hair. Details of SIMS may be found in, for example, Sibilia, John, "A Guide to Material Characterization and Chemical Analysis," Ch. 8, 185 - 192 (1988)(hereinafter "Sibilia"), which is incorporated by reference herein. After placing one fiber of each tress in a Physical Electronics SIMS spectrometer, a primary ion beam was then scanned across the hair surface in order to ionize the Si molecules from the hair surface. The spectrometer then generated images revealing the distribution of Si ions on the surface of the hair. This procedure was repeated with several hair fibers from each tress, and representative mass spectrometer images were taken of each set of hair fibers. It is evident from FIG 1, which illustrates the distribution of Si ions on the hair surface that was washed with the Pantene Pro-V shampoo, that the Si ions were distributed over the surface hair fiber; however, the ions were primarily concentrated only under the scale ridge of the hair fiber. By contrast, it is evident from FIG. 2, which illustrates the distribution of Si ions on the hair surface that was washed with the modified Example 3 formulation, that the distribution of the Si ions is comparatively more homogenous than the distribution shown by the hair fibers washed with the Pantene Pro-V shampoo. This Example showed that the cleansing composition of the present invention yielded a more homogeneous distribution of the Silicone polymers, which thereby significantly contributed to the improved softness and body of the treated hair fibers. Example 12: X- Rav Photoelectron Spectrometer (XPS) to Assess Polymer Thickness After each tress of Example 11 was placed into a Physical Electronics x-ray photoelectron spectrometer, a beam of X-rays were scanned onto the surface of the hair fibers. Details of XPS may be found in. for example, Sibilia at 197 - 199, which is incorporated by reference herein. From the percentage of Carbon and Oxygen atoms on the hair fiber and the atomic ratios of Si:C and Si:0 as determined by XPS, the thickness of the silicone polymer layer on the hair surface was estimated as shown in Table 14 below: It is evident from the results of Table 14 that the Pantene shampoo left substantially higher levels of silicon molecular residue on the hair surface in comparison to the amount of such residue left by the modified Example 3 formulation. We believe that the higher levels of silicon deposition along the hair surface may contribute to the perception of high conditioning build-up on the hair, reduction in body, and limpness. By contrast, since the hair treated with the modified Example 3 formulation left only one or two layers of silicon molecular residue on the surface of the hair fibers, we believe that hair treated with this formulation will likely possess attributes, such as enhanced wet and dry comb, improved rinsing performance and enhanced softness, that are superior relative to such properties possessed by hair treated with the Pantene shampoo. Since the performance of a hair care product largely depends upon on how the product interacts with the outermost layer of the hair fiber, this example indicated that the modified Example 3 shampoo will have a superior performance relative to that of the Pantene shampoo based upon a chemical and elemental analysis of the respective shampoo's residue left at the interface between the hair surface and the air. Example 13: Instron Ring Compression Study to Assess Hair Softness and Body The ring compression technique, which measures the energy required to pull hair tresses through various sized rings both before and after the tresses are shampooed, is a well known technique as described in Wergmann & Kamuth, Principles of Polymer Science and Technology in Cosmetics and Personal Care. Chapter 12 "Evaluation Methods for Conditioned Hair" 554 - 556 (1999), which is incorporated herein by reference, for assessing hair softness and body. See, e.g., Garcia et al, "Measurement of Bulk Compressibility and Bulk Resiliency of a Hair Mass," 10,h IFTSCC Congress, Sidney, Australia (1978), which is incorporated by reference herein. The apparatus used in this technique consisted of an Instron tensile tester, model 1122, which is connected to ring devices of varying diameters. After 15 brown European hair tresses were permed with a tight perm, each tress was pulled through a metal ring having a 1.5" inner diameter twice. The energy required to pull the tress through the ring was then recorded via the Instron tester. The tresses were then manually loosened and pulled through a second metal ring having a 1.0" inner diameter twice. The energy required to pull the tress through this second ring was then recorded via the Instron tester. The "Dry Pull Energy" required to pull a tress through a given ring may be expressed in terms of the difference between the energy exerted to pull a tress through the same ring twice. This value is a measure of the degree of body or rebound of the hair tress after compression. Higher values of Dry Pull Energy indicate greater hair body. The difference between the Dry Pull Energies required to pull each tress through the 1.0" and the 1.5" diameter rings, respectively, is an indication of the softness of the hair tress. The greater the difference between the difference in the Dry Pull Energies indicates that the respective hair tress is relatively more compressible or softer. The difference in the Dry Pull Energies resulting from the tress being pulled through a 1.0" inch ring and then through a 1.5" inch diameter ring are shown in Table 15 and 16 below for the dry permed hair. The tresses were then shampooed once with one of the following products: 1) the formulation of Example 3; 2) "Pantene Pro-V" shampoo for normal hair; and 3) "Shiseido Super Mild" shampoo commercially available from Shiseido Fine Toiletries Co., LTD. A minimum of 3 tresses was used for each product. After the tresses were shampooed and blown completely dry, the tresses were manually loosened to separate the individual hair fibers. The tresses were then pulled through the rings in accordance with the procedures as described above. The difference in the Dry Pull Energies resulting from the tress being pulled through the same size ring twice, i..e. a 1.0" diameter ring and independently a 1.5" diameter ring, both before the hair is shampooed as well as after the hair is both shampooed and dried are shown in the Table 17 below. It is evident from the data above that the formulation of Example 3 showed the greatest difference in Dry Pull Energies, which indicates that this formulation is superior with respect to the other two tested commercial formulations with respect to delivering softness to the hair fibers. It is evident from the data in Table 17 above that the formulation of Example 3 showed the greatest difference in Dry Pull Energy before and after shampooing regardless of the ring size employed. This indicates that the formulation of Example 3 exhibited the greatest amount of body and/or rebound relative to that possessed by the other two commercial products. Example 14: Dynamic Vapor Sorption Studies to Determine Moisture Uptake Dynamic Vapor Sorption (DVS), Surface Measurement Systems, Ltd., was used to determine the water absorption and moisture desorption on hair fibers after application of a composition thereto. Four hair tresses were individually shampooed twice with 3 g of one of the formulations prepared in accordance with one of the following examples as shown in Table 18 below: 1) modified Example 3; 2) Example 6; 3) modified Example 7; and 4) modified Example 6. After blow drying the hair tresses for 2 minutes, the tresses were then cut into segments 5-7 mm in length and weighed using a DVS Cain microbalance. The weights of the hair samples ranged between approximately 30 mg to 40 mg/sample. The hair samples were then placed into the DVS humidity chamber and equilibrated at 0% relative humidity at 25°C overnight. The relative humidity in the chamber was then increased to 10% RH until equilibration occurred. The relative humidity was then increased to 95% RH in approximately 10% RH intervals. The weight of the hair samples was then measured at each interval after each equilibration using the Cain microbalance. The relative humidity was then reduced back to 10% RH in -10% RH intervals. The weight of the hair fibers at each 10% RH interval is an indication of the water moisture absorbed and of the moisture retained by the hair samples. The water retaining capacity is the difference between the measured weight of water retained by the hair fibers at a given relative humidity during the ascent of the relative humidity versus measured weight of water retained by the hair fibers at a given relative humidity during the descent of the relative humidity. Higher values of water retaining capacity indicate the presence of surface water on the hair fiber, which tends to create limpness of the hair or increase interfiber adhesion. Lower values water retaining capacity indicated the reduction of water by the hair fiber, which tend to increase the body of the hair. A summary of the water retaining capacities is shown in Table 19 below. It is evident from the data above that the formulation of Example 3 as modified above in Table 18 possessed superior body properties at both moderate and high relative humidity conditions. By contrast, the formulations that did not contain a cationic agent and/or a silicone agent did not perform relatively as well. This Example showed that formulations exhibiting superior body preferably contain both at least two cationic agents as well as one silicone agent. Example 15: Determination of Skin Permeation Experiments were conducted to determine the deposition of actives into the skin from various shampoo compositions. To determine penetration of actives, in vitro skin permeation studies were conducted using non-occluded Franz diffusion chambers. Human cadaver skin, microtomed to 400 urn, were mounted on Franz diffusion cells containing a receptor medium composed of a citric acid phosphate buffer or a phosphate buffered solution (depending on the active being monitored). The receptor capacity was 5 ml and the cell surface was 0.636 cm2. The receptor compartment was maintained at 37°C during the experiment. In a tube, 50 ul of each formulation as shown in Tables 1 and 2 through 6 were diluted with 50 pi of 37°C water. This solution was then rubbed onto the epidermal surface of the mounted skin for 30 seconds and allowed to sit thereon for 5 minutes. The solution was then rinsed from the surface three times with 37°C water, and then swabbed twice with dry cotton swabs. At 24 hours after the topical application of the formulation, the surface of the skin was rinsed three times with methanol or distilled water soaked cotton swabs (depending on the active to be monitored), and then swabbed three times with three dry cotton swabs. After removing the skin from the diffusion cell, the epidermis and dermis were separated, chopped and placed into separate vials containing an extraction solution and sonicated in a bath sonicator for 30 minutes. After sonication of the epidermis, dermis and swabs, respectively, each sonicated sample was assayed using a Walters high pressure liquid chromatography ("HPLC"). Penetration of the active into the skin was calculated based upon a percentage of the applied dose and the amount of active delivered into the epidermis or dermis per surface area. For these studies, the penetration of a lipophilic agent, elubiol was investigated. Also the penetration of a hydrophilic agent, salicylic acid was investigated. As shown in Table 20 below, the formulations investigated were the formulations prepared in accordance with the procedures set forth in Example 1, and Examples 3 through 8. Table 21 shows the amount of elubiol penetrated into the skin (epidermis and dermis ) after topical application of the formulations set forth in Table 20 in accordance with the procedure set forth above. This Example showed that a formulation (Formulation 4) containing 3 cationic agents and 2 silicones delivered 2.466% of the applied dose of elubiol into the skin. However, when a formulation (Formulation 3) containing 2 cationic agents and 1 silicone were incorporated with the cleansing shampoo base, the percentage of elubiol delivered decreased to 1.091 %, over a 2.2 fold decrease in delivery. When no cationic agents were incorporated into the cleansing base (Formulation 6), the elubiol permeation surprisingly decreased to 0.135 %, an 18.2 fold decrease over the delivery exhibited by Formulation 4. It is also evident from this Example that there is a synergistic effect on the permeation of hydrophobic benefit agents in combination with cationic agents and water-soluble silicones. Formulations that contain either a cationic agent alone or a siliconeagent alone did not achieve the desired effect of enhanced permeation of the benefit agent. This Example showed that the combination of two or more cationic agents with one or more water.soluble silicone agents was superior with respect to permeation of hydrophobic actives into the skin. The amount of salicylic acid penetrated into the skin (epidermis and dermis) after topical application of the Formulations is set forth in Table 24, wherein the formulations were prepared in accordance with the procedure set forth above. It is evident from Tables 24 and 26 above that Formulation 4, which contained a cleansing base incorporated with three cationic agents and two water-soluble silicones agents (Example 4), delivered the highest levels of salicylic acid into the skin. It is further evident that in the formulation containing only silicone agents incorporated with the cleansing base (Example 7 and 8), the level of salicylic acid delivered into the skin was comparatively low. Notably, the cleansing base without the cationic agents and silicone agents (Example 6) possessed superior salicylic acid delivery capabilities in comparison with formulations containing only silicone agents (Example 7 and 8). Formulation 4, which contained both cationic agents and silicone agents, performed 4.9 times better than formulations without cationic agents (Example 6) and 1.62 times better than formulations containing only cationic agents (Example 1). This example demonstrated that the combination of elubiol and salicylic acid in a cleansing shampoo with 2 or more cationic agents and 1 or water soluble silicone agents performed superior with respect to delivering the elubiol and salicylic acid into the skin. Thus, the composition of this invention affords a method of regulating the delivery of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic actives into the skin. WE CLAIM 1.
