FORMULATION

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a method of achieving improved hair volume and improved combability using shampoo compositions comprising anti-dandruff active and a pre-emulsified emulsion selected from the group comprising methathesized unsaturated polyol esters, sucrose polyesters, fatty esters and mixtures thereof, an anionic surfactant, an aqueous carrier,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Human hair and skin become soiled due to its contact with the surrounding environment and from the sebum secreted by the scalp. The soiling of hair and skin causes it to have a dirty feel and an unattractive appearance.

Shampooing cleans the hair by removing excess soil and sebum. However, shampooing can leave the hair in a wet, tangled, and generally unmanageable state. Once the hair dries, it is often left in a dry, rough, lusterless, or frizzy condition due to removal of the hair's natural oils.

A variety of approaches have been developed to alleviate these after-shampoo problems. One approach is the application of hair shampoos which attempt to both cleanse and condition the hair from a single product.

In order to provide hair conditioning benefits in a cleansing shampoo base, a wide variety of conditioning actives have been proposed. However, including active levels of conditioning agents in shampoos may result in rheology and stability issues, creating consumer trade-offs in cleaning, lather profiles, and weigh-down effects.

Based on the foregoing, there is a need for a conditioning agent which can provide conditioning benefits to hair and skin and can replace, or be used in combination with silicone, or other conditioning agents, to maximize the conditioning activity of hair care compositions. Additionally, there is a desire to find a conditioning active which can be derived from a natural source, thereby providing a conditioning agent derived from a renewable resource. Numerous conditioning agents derived from a natural source have been used in hair and skin care compositions. However, due to the hydrophobic nature of these agents, their strong interactions with the niicellar surfactant system cause product instability, such as viscosity reduction and phase separation. Consequentially, it is generally difficult to formulate meaningful levels of hydrocarbon based natural conditioning agents to provide significant benefits from rinse off applications. There is a desire to enhance the formulation flexibility and the deposition of these conditioner agents to provide consumer noticeable benefits.

Therefore, there is also a desire to find a conditioning agent that is both derived from a natural source and leads to a stable product comprising a micellar surfactant system,

A significant portion of the population experiences problems with dandruff. Anti-dandruff shampoos are well known in the art and rely upon various actives for their effectiveness. Such compositions are not only designed to relieve the dandruff condition, but also to effectively clean the hair and scalp as well as condition the hair. A conditioning agent along with an anti-dandruff active, such as zinc pyrithione (ZPT) is often incorporated into anti-dandruff shampoos to achieve a conditioning effect. The use of conditioning materials, however, may reduce the effectiveness of the anti-dandruff deposition on scalp. Organic oils and lipids may act as a deposition aid for solid particles like ZPT to deposit on hair. Consequently, less ZPT particles are available for scalp deposition. Therefore, it is desirable to use a conditioning agent that provide hair conditioning benefit without negatively affecting ZPT scalp deposition.

Therefore it is also desirable to develop methods of treating hair with anti-dandruff shampoo compositions that contain non-silicone conditioning agents that provide hair conditioning and volume benefit without reducing the anti-dandruff activity. Although oils can provide good conditioning benefit, oils may impart a greasy feel and reduce hair volume. Therefore, it is desirable to develop methods of treating hair with both conditioning and volume benefit.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is directed to the method of cleaning and treating hair with a personal care composition that contain a combination of (a) anti-dandruff actives, and (b) conditioning actives selected from the group comprising metathesized unsaturated polyol esters, sucrose polyesters, fatty esters having a molecular weight of 1500 or higher. These conditioning actives are used in a pre-emulsion form having particle size of from about 20 nanometers to 20 microns, in an embodiment from about 0.1-15μηι to significantly improve the stability and hair conditioning benefits of hair care compositions as well as hair volume benefit without negatively affecting the deposition of the anti-dandruff active on scalp. Consumers may desire fullness of hair which is associated with hair volume. Without being bound by theory, one of the mechanisms by which hair volume is achieved is by increasing hair fiber to fiber friction. However, if this friction is too high, combability may be negatively affected. Therefore, the present invention provides both a volume benefit as well as good combability.

The present invention is directed to a method of achieving impro ved hair volume comprising applying to hair a composition comprising from about 0.25% to about 80% of a pre-emulsified emulsion comprising from about 0.005% to about 80% of one or more materials selected from the group comprising metathesized unsaturated polyol esters, sucrose polyesters, fatty esters with a molecular weight greater than or equal to 1500 and mixtures thereof or, by weight of said hair care composition; wherein an emulsifier is selected from the group consisting of anionic, non-ionic, cationic, amphoteric and mixtures thereof wherein the average particle size of the pre-emulsified emulsion is from about 20 nanometers to 20 microns; from about 5% to about 50% of one or more anionic surfactants, by weight of said hair care composition; from about 0.01% to about 5% of an anti-dandruff active; at least about 20% of an aqueous carrier, by weight of said hair care composition wherein the method provides to the hair a dry static friction index of about 1.05-3 and a dr combing index of about greater than or equal to about 1.05.

These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become evident to those skilled in the art from a reading of the present disclosure.

A. Emulsion

The term "pre-emulsion" in this patent application describes any stable emulsion or dispersion of a conditioning material (or other material?) such as oil, viscous liquid, viseoelastic liquid, or solid in an aqueous medium, separately prepared and used as one of the components of a personal care composition.

The same pre-emulsion can be used as a component of different personal care products provided that it is compatible with the other components of the personal care products,

Stable means that the viscosity, particle size, and other important characteristics of the emulsion do not significantly change over reasonable time under exposure to typical temperature, moisture, pressure, shear, light and other environmental conditions that the pre- emulsion is exposed during packing, storage, and transportation.

Historically, naturals and natural derivatives are used primarily as image ingredients in personal care compositions due to their instability in chasses, especially those with high surfactant systems. The use of active emulsions presents three advantages in the present invention: i) Emulsifiers in the emulsion reduce the interactions of agents with the surfactants in the chassis, which in turn enhances product stability; ii) Emulsified actives, especially those with higher viscosities, potentially improve spreadabiiity on hair surfaces with different properties (e.g. virgin vs. damaged hair); iii) Emulsions significantly affect the appearance of a clear chassis. Emulsions with a particle size in the range of 100-500 nm alters clear to translucent appearance, which consumers perceive as more benefit ingredients in the product.

L Conditioning agents: a, Metathesized Oligomer

The hair care composition may comprise from about 0.05% to about 15%, alternatively from about 0.1% to about 10%, and alternatively from about 0.25% to about 5%, of one or more oligomers derived from metathesis of unsaturated polyol esters, by weight of said hair care composition. Exemplary metathesized unsaturated polyol esters and their starting materials are set forth in U.S. Patent Application U.S. 2009/0220443 Al, which is incorporated herein by reference.

A metathesized unsaturated polyol ester refers to the product obtained when one or more unsaturated polyol ester ingredient(s) are subjected to a metathesis reaction. Metathesis is a catalytic reaction that involves the interchange of alkySidene units among compounds containing one or more double bonds (i.e., olefinic compounds) via the formation and cleavage of the carbon- carbon double bonds. Metathesis may occur between two of the same molecules (often referred to as self-metathesis) and/or it may occur between two different molecules (often referred to as cross- metathesis). Self-metathesis may be represented schematically as shown in Equation i:

CH=CH— R ^{2 +} R ¹ — CH=CH— R ²

CH=CH— R ^{1 +} R ² — CH=CH— R ²

R ¹ and R ^_ are organic groups.

Cross-metathesis may be represented schematically as shown in Equation II:

R ¹ — CH=CH— R ^{2 +} R ³ — CH=CH— R

R ¹ — CH=CH— R ^; + R— CH=CH— R +

(Π)

CH=CH— R ^{1 +} R ² — CH +

R— CH=CH— R ^; + R— CH=CH— R' +

R ¹ — CH=CH— R ³ + R— CH=CH— R'

where R , R ^' \ R", and R are organic groups.

When the unsaturated poyol ester comprises molecules that have more than one carbon- carbon double bond (i.e., a polyunsaturated polyol ester), self-metathesis results in oligomerization of the unsaturated polyol ester. The self-metathesis reaction results in the formation of metathesis turners, metathesis trimers, and metathesis tetramers. Higher order metathesis oligomers, such as metathesis peiitamers and metathesis hexamers, may also be formed by continued self-metathesis and will depend on the number and type of chains connecting the unsaturated po!yo! ester materia! as well as the number of esters and position of the double bonds in the ester.

As a starting materia], metathesized unsaturated polyol esters are prepared from one or more unsaturated polyol esters. As used herein, the term "unsaturated polyol ester" refers to a compound having at least one carbon - carbon double bond, at least one ester functional group and at least one additional functional group selected from the group of hydroxy! functional group and ester functional group. In many embodiments, the unsaturated polyol ester can be represented by the general structure I: o

where n l; m >0; p>0; (n+m+p)>2; R is an organic group; R is an organic group having at least one carbon-carbon double bond; and R is a saturated organic group. Exemplary embodiments of the unsaturated polyol ester are described in detail in U.S. 2009/0220443 Al .

In many embodiments of the invention, the imsaturated polyol ester is an unsaturated ester of glycerin. Sources of unsaturated polyol esters of glycerin include synthesized oils, natural oils (e.g., vegetable oils, algae oils, bacterial derived oils, and animal fats), combinations of theses, and the like. Recycled used vegetable oils may also be used. Representative examples of vegetable oils include argan oil, canola oil, rapeseed oil, coconut oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, olive oil, palm oil, peanut oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, soy-bean oil, sunflower oil, high oieoyl soy-bean oil, high oleoyl sunflower oil, linseed oil, palm kernel oil, tung oil, castor oil, high erucic rape oils, jatropha oil, combinations of theses, and the like. Representative examples of animal fats include lard, tallow, chicken fat, yello grease, fish oil, combinations of these, and the like. A representative example of a synthesized oil includes tall oil, which is a byproduct of wood pulp manufacture. Other examples of unsaturated polyol esters include diesters such as those derived from ethylene glycol or propylene glycol, esters such as those derived from pentaerythritol or dipentaerythritol, or sugar esters such as SEFOSE®. Sugar esters such as SEFOSE® include one or more types of sucrose polyesters, with up to eight ester groups that could undergo a metathesis exchange reaction. Sucrose polyesters are derived from a natural resource and therefore, the use of sucrose polyesters can result in a positive environmental impact, Sucrose polyesters are polyester materials, having multiple substitution positions around the sucrose backbone coupled with the chain length, saturation, and derivation variables of the fatty chains. Such sucrose polyesters can have a degree of esterification ("IBAR") of greater than about 5, In one embodiment the sucrose polyester may have an IBAR of from about 5 to about 8. in another embodiment the sucrose polyester has an IBAR of about 5-7. and in another embodiment the sucrose polyester has an IBAR of about 6. In yet another embodiment the sucrose polyester has an I BAR of about 8. As sucrose polyesters are derived from a natural resource, a distribution in the IBAR and chain length may exist, For example a sucrose polyester having an I BAR. of 6, may contain a mixture of mostly IBAR of about 6, with some IBAR of about 5 and some IBAR of about 7. Additionally, such sucrose polyesters may have a saturation or iodine value ("IV") of about 3 to about 140. In another embodiment the sucrose polyester may have an IV of about 10 to about 120. In yet another embodiment the sucrose polyester may have an IV of about 20 to 100. Further, such sucrose polyesters have a chain length of about C ₁₂ to C ₂₀ but are not limited to these chain lengths.

Non-limiting examples of sucrose polyesters suitable for use include SEFOSE© 1618S, SEFOSE® 1618U, SEFOSE® 1618H, Sefa Soyate IMF 40, Seta Soyate LP426, SEFOSE® 2275, SEFOSE® CI 695, SEFOSE® C18:0 95, SEFOSE® C1495, SEFOSE® 1618H B6, SEFOSE® 16188 B6, SEFOSE© 1618U B6, Sefa Cottonate, SEFOSE® C1295, Sefa C895, Sefa C1095, SEFOSE® I618S B4.5, all available from The Procter and Gamble Co. of Cincinnati, Ohio.

Other examples of suitable natural polyol esters may include but not be limited to sorbitol esters, maltitol esters, sorbitan esters, maltodextrin derived esters, xylitol esters, and other sugar derived esters.

In other embodiments, chain lengths of esters are not restricted to C8-C22 or even chain lengths only and can include natural esters that come from co-metathesis of fats and oils with short chain olefins both natural and synthetic providing a polyol ester feedstock which can have even and odd chains as well as shorter and longer chains for the self metathesis reaction. Suitable short chain olefins include ethylene and buteiie.

The oligomers derived from the metathesis of unsaturated po!yo! esters may be further modified via hydrogenation. For example, in certain embodiments, the oligomer can be about 60% hydrogenated or more; in certain embodiments, about 70% hydrogenated or more; in certain embodiments, about 80% hydrogenated or more; in certain embodiments, about 85%» hydrogenated or more; in certain embodiments, about 90% hydrogenated or more; and in certain embodiments, generally 100%> hydrogenated.

In some embodiments, the triglyceride oligomer is derived from the self-metathesis of soybean oil. The soy oligomer can include hydrogenated soy polyglycerides. The soy oligomer may also include C15-C23 alkalies, as a byproduct. An example of metathesis derived soy oligomers is the fully hydrogenated DOW CORNING® HY-3050 soy wax. In other embodiments, the metathesized unsaturated polyol esters can be used as a blend with one or more non-metathesized unsaturated polyol esters. The non-metathesized unsaturated polyol esters can be fully or partially hydrogenated. Such an example is DOW CORNING® HY-3051 (or CGI 00 from Elevance), a blend of HY-3050 oligomer (equivalent to CS110 from Elevance) and partially hydrogenated soybean oil (HSBO), available from Dow Corning and CGI 00 available from Elevance.

In some embodiments of the invention, the non-metathesized unsaturated polyol ester is an unsaturated ester of glycerol. Sources of unsaturated polyol esters of glycerol include synthesized oils, natural oils (e.g., vegetable oils, algae oils, bacterial derived oils, and animal fats), combinations of theses, and the like. Recycled used vegetable oils may also be used. Representative examples of vegetable oils include those listed above.

Other modifications of the polyol ester oligomers can be partial amidation of some fraction of the esters with ammonia or higher organic amines such as dodecyl amine or other fatty amines. This modification will alter the overall oligomer composition but can be useful in some applications providing increased lubricity of the product. Another modification can be via partial amidation of a poly amine providing potential for some pseudo cationic nature to the polyol ester oligomers. Such an example is DOW CORNING© material HY-3200. Other exemplary embodiments of amido functionalized oligomers are described in detail in WO2012006324A1 , which is incorporated herein by reference. The poloyl ester oligomers may also be modified farther by partial hydroformyiation of the unsaturated functionality to provide one or more hydroxyl groups and an increase in the oligomer hydrophi!icity.

a. Non-metathesized Sugar polyesters

The personal care composition may also comprise from about 0.05% to about 1 %, alternatively from about 0, 1% to about 10%, and alternatively from about 0.25% to about 5%, of one or more of sugar polyesters, by weight of said personal care composition. Typical examples of sucrose polyesters such as SEFOSE® . The sucrose molecule can be esterified in one or more of its eight hydroxyl groups with saturated or unsaturated carboxylic acids, providing a very diverse set of possible molecular structures of polyesters. The possibility of metathesis of these species is described earlier herein this document. However, the non-metathesized unsaturated sucrose polyesters or saturated sucrose polyesters and their mixtures can also be used as conditioning material in hair care and body wash compositions. b.

The pH of the emulsions may be important to the stability of the emulsion and their interaction with a personal care composition. For example, naturally occurring methylated phenols in natural oils may incur oxidation to cause emulsion color alteration at higher pH. In an embodiment of the present invention, pH is less than about pH 7, but higher than 3.5, Typical bases and acids can be used to adjust pH, Non-limiting examples include, sodium hydroxide aqueous solution and citric acid.

4, Method of making pre-emulsion

Making the emulsion comprising components below is to pre-emulsify the conditioning active before their addition to the hair care composition. A non-limiting example of a method of making is provided below. All oil soluble components are mixed in a vessel. Heat may be applied to allow components to be a liquid form, AH water soluble components are mixed in a separate vessel and heated to about the same temperature as the oil phase. The oil phase and aqueous phase are mixed under a high shear mixer (example, Turrax mixer by IKA). The particle size of the conditioning active is in the range of 0.02- 20μηι. High energy mixing device may be needed to achieve desired particle size. High energy mixing device include, but not limited to Microfluidizer from Microfluidics Corp., Sonolator from Sonic Corp., Colloid mill from Sonic Corp.

5, Stability

The stability of a personal care composition can be measured by composition viscosity/rheology, particle size and visual observations of phase separation over a period of time. Detailed methods are described in "Method" section. The period of time for measuring stability can be days, weeks and months. Typical measuring temperatures are room temperature, e.g. about 25°C, and/or at elevated termperature, e.g. 40°C.

6, Composition Appearance

Without the addition of other opacifying agents, surfactant systems often appear clear. With the addition of the pre-emulsicms, the composition appearance may vary from translucent to opaque. The opacity of the composition depends on the particle size of the active in the pre-emulsion, the amount of the pre-emulsion added and the optical path length. A simple way to differentiate translucent from opaque appearance is to dispense a small amount of composition into the center of the palm of a hand. Translucent compositions allow naked eye to observe the skin color undemeath the product without being complete transparent. A naked eye cannot see palm skin color through the composition. The ability to adjust the composition appearance with the pre-emulsions provides the flexibility to modify composition appearance to consumer liking.

In other embodiments, the unsaturated polyol esters and blends can be modified prior to oligomerization to incorporate near terminal branching.

Zinc-containing layered materials may be those with crystal growth primarily occurring in two dimensions. It is conventional to describe layer structures as not only those in which all the atoms are incorporated in well-defined layers, but also those in which there are ions or molecules between the layers, called gallery ions (A.F. Wells "Structural Inorganic Chemistry" Clarendon Press, 1975). Zinc-containing layered materials (ZLMs) may have zinc incorporated in the layers and/or be components of the gallery ions. The following classes of ZLMs represent relatively common examples of the general category and are not intended to be limiting as to the broader scope of materials which tit this definition.

Many ZLMs occur naturally as minerals. In an embodiment, the ZLM is selected from the group consisting of: hydrozmcite (zinc carbonate hydroxide), aurichalcite (zinc copper carbonate hydroxide), rosasite (copper zinc carbonate hydroxide), and mixtures thereof. Related minerals that are zinc-containing may also be included in the composition. Natural ZLMs can also occur wherein anionic layer species such as clay-type minerals (e.g., phySlosilicates) contain ion-exchanged zinc gallery ions. Ail of these natural materials can also be obtained synthetically or formed in situ in a composition or during a production process.

Another common class of ZLMs, which are often, but not always, synthetic, is layered double hydroxides. In an embodiment, the ZLM is a layered double hydroxide conforming to the formula A ^m" x _/m -nH ₂ 0 wherein some or all of the divalent ions (Μ ^/ ) are zinc ions (Crepaidi, EL, Pava, PC, Tronto, J, Valim, IB J. Colloid Interfac. ScL 2002, 248, 429-42). Yet another class of ZLMs can be prepared called hydroxy double salts (Morioka, H., Tagaya, H., Kara.su, M, Kadokawa, J, Chiba, Inorg. Chem. 1999, 38, 4211-6). In an embodiment, the ZLM is a hydroxy double salt conforming to the formula A ^n" a- -3v) ji'nH ₂ 0 where the two metal ions (M ^2" ) may be the same or different, if they are the same and represented by zinc, the formula simplifies to [Zn _1+x (OH) ₂ ] ^2x+ 2x A ^" -ni¾0. This latter formula represents (where x=0.4) materials such as zinc hydroxychloride and zinc hydroxynitrate. In an embodiment, the ZLM is zinc hydroxychloride and/or zinc hydroxynitrate, These are related to hydrozincite as well wherein a divalent anion replace the monovalent anion. These materials can also be formed in situ in a composition or in or during a production process.

In an embodiment, the composition comprises basic zinc carbonate. Commercially available sources of basic zinc carbonate include Zinc Carbonate Basic (Cater Chemicals: Bensenville, IL, USA), Zinc Carbonate (Shepherd Chemicals: Norwood, OH, USA), Zinc Carbonate (CPS Union Corp.: New York, NY, USA), Zinc Carbonate (Elementis Pigments: Durham, UK), and Zinc Carbonate AC (Bruggemann Chemical: Newtown Square, PA, USA). Basic zinc carbonate, which also may be referred to commercially as "Zinc Carbonate" or "Zinc Carbonate Basic" or "Zinc Hydroxy Carbonate", is a synthetic version consisting of materials similar to naturally occurring hydrozincite. The idealized stoichiometry is represented by Zn ₅ (OH) ₆ (C0 ₃ ) ₂ but the actual stoichiometric ratios can vary slightly and other impurities may be incorporated in the crystal lattice.

In embodiments having a zinc-containing layered material and a pyrithione or polyvalent metal salt of pyrithione, the ratio of zinc-containing layered material to pyrithione or a polyvalent metal salt of pyrithione is from about 5: 100 to about 10: 1, or from about 2: 10 to about 5: 1 , or from about 1 :2 to about 3: 1.

The on-scalp deposition of the anti-dandruff active is at least about 1 microgram/cm ² . The on-scalp deposition of the anti-dandruff active is important in view of ensuring that the anti-dandruff active reaches the scalp where it is able to perform its function. In an embodiment, the deposition of the anti-dandruff active on the scalp is at least about 1 .5 microgram/cm ² , or at least about 2.5 microgram/cm ² , or at least about 3 microgram/cm ² , or at least about 4 microgram/cm ² , or at least about 6 microgram cm , or at least about 7 microgram/cm , or at least about 8 microgram/cm , or at least about 8 microgram/cm ² , or at least about 10 microgram/cm ² . The on-scalp deposition of the anti-dandruff active is measured by having the hair of individuals washed with a composition comprising an anti-dandruff active, for example a composition pursuant to the present invention, by trained a cosmetician according to a conventional washing protocol. The hair is then parted on an area of the scalp to allow an open-ended glass cylinder to be held on the surface while an aliquot of an extraction solution is added and agitated prior to recover) _' and analytical determination of anti- dandruff active content by conventional methodology, such as HPLC.

Embodiments of the personal care composition may also comprise gel matrix, which have been used in cosmetic creams and hair conditioners, These gel matrix are formed by combining fatty alcohols and surfactants in the ratio of about 1 : 1 to about 40: 1 (alternatively from about 2: 1 to about 20: 1, and alternatively from about 3: 1 to about 10: 1). The formation of a gel matrix involves heating a dispersion of the fatty alcohol in water with the surfactant to a temperature above the melting point of the fatty alcohol. During the mixing process, the fatty alcohol melts, allowing the surfactant to partition into the fatty alcohol droplets. The surfactant brings water along with it into the fatty alcohol. This changes the isotropic fatty alcohol drops into liquid crystalline phase drops. When the mixture is cooled below the chain melt temperature, the liquid crystal phase is converted into a solid crystalline gel matrix. The gel matrix contributes a stabilizing benefit to cosmetic creams and hair conditioners. In addition, they deliver conditioned feel benefits for hair conditioners.

Thus according to an embodiment, the fatty alcohol is included in the gel matrix at a level by weight of from about 0.1 wt% to about 30 wt%. For example, the fatty alcohol may be present in an amount ranging from about 1 wt% to about 15 wt%, and alternatively from about 6 wt% to about 15 wt%.

The fatty alcohols useful herein are those having from about 10 to about 40 carbon atoms, from about 12 to about 22 carbon atoms, from about 16 to about 22 carbon atoms, or about 16 to about 18 carbon atoms. These fatty alcohols can be straight or branched chain alcohols and can be saturated or unsaturated. Nonlimiting examples of fatty alcohols include, cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, behenyl alcohol, and mixtures thereof. Mixtures of cetyl and stearyl alcohol in a ratio of from about 20:80 to about 80:20, are suitable.

Gel matrix preparation: A vessel is charged with water and the water is heated to about 74°C. Cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, and SEES surfactant are added to the heated water. After incorporation, the resulting mixture is passed through a heat exchanger where the mixture is cooled to about 35°C, Upon cooling, the fatty alcohols and surfactant crystallized to form a crystalline gel matrix. Table provides the components and their respective amounts for the gel matrix compositi n.

TEST METHODS

It is understood that the test methods that are disclosed in the Test Methods Section of the present application should be used to determine the respective values of the parameters of Applicants' invention as such invention is described and claimed herein.

A, Emulsion particle size method

This method is designed to measure the oil/ ^' lipid particle sizes in emulsion. It is an example of particle size measuring methodology. Other known particle size method may also be used. The Horiba LA-910 and LA-950 instruments use the principle of low-angle Fraunhofer diffraction and Light Scattering from the particles as the means to size particles in a dilution solution.

The emulsion sample is introduced into the Horiba sampling cup, which contain a dilute dispersant solution. The sample is agitated in the sample cup and circulated through the flow cell. During the experiment, light from a laser and lamp are directed through the sample in the flow cell. The light from the laser and lamp diffracts and scatters off the particles and is detected by a seriew of detectors. The scattering and diffraction information travels from the detector to the computer, which then calculates the particle size distribution in the sample.

An amount of 150 ml, of a 1% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solution is added into a 400 mL beaker. Approximately 0.5 g of emulsion is weighed into the beaker. The sample is vigorously stirred with a stirring bar on a magnetic stirring plate for 5 minutes. The sample is ready for Particle Size Analysis by Horiba. Samples are analyzed within 10 minutes after sample preparation. Horiba LA-910 Laser scattering particle size distribution analyzer:

The appropriate measurement conditions are manually selected as listed below. The Horiba Cup is filled with 150 ml of 0.1% SDS solution using a measuring cylinder, then Sonicated, Circulated

and Agitated through the cell. If the cell looks clean and the background reading looks flat, a blank is run by pressing BLANK. The dispersed sample is added slowly with a disposable pipette to the Horiba cup while the dispersant solutionis agitating and circulating through the Horiba system. The sample is added continuously and slowly until the %T of the Lamp is 90 ± 2 %. The sample is allowed to agitate and to circulate through the cell for 3 minutes, then the sample is measured. Once the sample is analyzed, The cell is drained and cleaned with deionized water.

The result is shown as D (50), also called the median, that is the particle size at which 50% of the particles are that size or smaller. D(20 and D(90) can also be generated if needed.

Hair composition stability method including viscosity and visual assessment

The phase stability of the personal care composition is assessed with visual observations. The personal care composition appears uniform immediately after making. Two aliquots of about 50mL of the composition are prepared in a plastic or glass jar covered with a lid. One jar is placed at room temperature, about 25 °C, while the other is placed in a conventional oven at 40°C, Additional replicates may be prepared if desired, The samples at room temperature are observed approximately every week. The samples at 40°C are observed after 1 week. The samples at 40°C are observed while warm and after cooled to room temperature. Samples with visible large particles, color alteration and/or two or more visible phases are considered instable.

The viscosity of the personal care composition is measured with Brookfield Viscometer RVDV-I Prime, or other conventional viscometer. The temperature of water bath is set to 25 "C, Wingather Software and the CP41 spindle are selected. The following parameters are set, Mode: Timed Stop; Data Interval - 00:01: # of Data Points-60; Speed - 0.5 rpm. An amount of 2mL of the sample is placed in the cup. The cup is then attached to the viscometer with arm clamp. The motor is then started and stopped after software collects 60 data points. The cup is then removed from the viscosmeter and cleaned with alcohol wipes. The viscosity of the composition is taken as the average of the readings after readings have reached a plateau or the last number. The viscosity dropped to below 7500 cP is considered unstable. In an embodiment of the present invention, the viscosity of the composition after 1 week at 40 "C should be about 4000 cPs or higher.

B. Wei and Drv Conditioning Test Method

This test method is designed to allow for a subjective evaluation of the basic performance of conditioning shampoos for both wet combing and dry combing efficacy. The control treatments exemplified in Table 2 are (1 ) a clarifying shampoo that employs only surfactants and has no conditioning materials present, and (2) the same clarifying shampoo used in the washing process followed by the application of a mid-range hair conditioner. These treatments facilitate differentiation of performance of a set prototype conditioning shampoos. The substrate is virgin brown hair obtainable from a variety of sources that is screened to insure uniformity and lack of meaningful surface damage or low lift bleach damaged hair.

Table 2

Treatment Procedure:

Five switches weighing 4 gram and having an 8 inch length are combined in a hair switch holder, are wetted for ten seconds using 40°C wa ter of medium hardness (9-10 gpg) to ensure complete and even wetting. The combined switch is deliquored lightly and a product is applied uniformly o ver the length of the switch from one inch below the holder towards the tip at a level of 0.1 gram product per one gram of dry hair. The switch combo is lathered for 30 seconds by a rubbing motion typical of that used by consumers and rinsed with 40°C water flo wing at 1.5 gal/min (with the hair being manipulated) for a further 30 seconds to ensure completeness. This step is repeated. For the control treatment with conditioner, it is applied in the same way as shampoo above, manipulated throughout the switch combo and rinsed thoroughly with manipulation, again for 30 seconds. The swatches are deliquored lightly, separated from each other, hung on a rack so that they are not in contact and detangled with a wide tooth comb.

Grading Procedures

For wet combing evaluations using trained graders, the switches are separated on the rack into the five sets with one switch from each treatment included in the grading set. Only two combing evaluations are performed on each switch. The graders are asked to compare the treatments by combing with a narrow tooth nylon comb typical of those used by consumers and rate the ease/difficulty on a zero to ten scale. Ten separate evaluations are collected and the results analyzed by a statistical analysis package for establishing statistical significance. Control charting is regularly used to insure that the low and high controls separate into their regular domains. Statistical significance in differences between treatments is determined using conventional statistical software, a non-limiting example such as Statgraphics Plus 5.1 .

For dry combing evaluations, the switches from above are moved into a controlled temperature and humidity room (22°C/50% RH) and allowed to dry overnight. They remain separated as above and panelists are requested to evaluate dry conditioning performance. Three assessments may be made, non-limiting examples include: a) dry combing ease of the middle of the switch, b) dry combing ease of the tips, and c) a tactile assessment of hair tip feel. A ten point scale may be used for these comparisons. Again, only two panelists make an assessment of each switch set. Statistical analysis to separate differences is done using the same method as above.

C. CONTACT ANGLE METHOD

The hair contact angles are calculated using the Wiihelmy equation from the value of the wetting force of a single hair fiber as it inserted in water along its length. D. INTER-FIBER FRICTION METHOD (IFF)

The inter- fiber friction method emula tes the motion of rubbing hair between the thumb and index finger in an up and down direction. The method evaluates the hair to hair interaction of dried hair switches, determining the hair static friction, which is a key component of with hair volume. The hair switches consist of moderately bleached Caucasian hair fibers, weigh 4g and have a length of 8 inches with a configuration of round pony tail. The switches are treated with shampoo as described above (Section B) and air dried for 24 hours. A TA-XT plus Texture Analyzer (by Stable Micro Systems) or equivalent piece of equipment is used for the evaluation. The switch, after combing 5 times to remove tangles, is sandwiched between two plates with polyurethane skin surrogate substrate surfaces (skin flex paint, supplied by Burman Industries) under pressure of 40 psi. The plates are allowed to move up and down with a speed of lOmm/s and a distance of each cycle of 200 mm for 5 cycles. Each of the peak forces for the 5 cycles are averaged to calculate Peak Sum which represents the static friction of hair. The static force correlates with consumer's hair volume. Therefore, the higher the static force the larger the hair volume. The measurement is repeated for each hair switch,

E. SC ALP DEPOSITION METHOD (In-vitro)

1) The in-vitro Deposition Evaluation Method measures the deposition of benefit agents on a skin mimic. The method compares the quantity of benefit agent of the skin mimic surface before and after cleansing in an automated cleansing unit, such as the automated cleansing unit described in co-pending and co-assigned Multiphase Personal Care Composition With Enhanced Deposition, U.S. Application No. 12/510,880 (filed July 28, 2009) and In-Vitro Deposition Evaluation Method for Identifying Personal ( ^"' are Compositions Which Provide Improved Deposition of Benefit Agents, U.S. Application No. 12/511 ,034 (filed July 28, 2009).

2) The w-vitro Deposition Evaluation Method uses two 12- well plates (hereinafter referred to as "plates"). Suitable 12-well plates are commercially available from Greiner bio-one. For example, the Cellstar© 12-well suspension culture plate has 3 rows and 4 columns with a well volume of about 6,2 niL, The Cellstar® 12-well suspension culture plate comprises the approximate dimensions of 19 mm in height, 127 mm in length and 85 mm in width. The Cellstar© 12-well suspension culture plate has a well diameter of 23 mm, a well depth of 15 and a well to well spacing of 2 mm. A Cellstar© 12-weil suspension culture plate is provided for containing the samples comprising the personal care composition as described in the Examples herein.

3) The in-vitro Deposition Evaluation Method uses approximately 120 g of bodies for two plates. Five grams of bodies carefully loaded into each of the 12 wells of the two plates to ensure the same quantity is loaded into each well. Each body is a spherical stainless steel bearing that is approximately 2 mm in circumference. Each body comprises ferrometallic material. Suitable bodies are those available from WLB Antriebeselemente Gmbh, Scarrastrasse 12, D-68307 Mannheim, Germany.

4) The personal care compositions can be prepared as described by the examples herein. After the examples of the personal care compositions are prepared, control and test samples are prepared by determining the dilution ratio and dispensing both the personal care composition and distilled water into the wells of the microplate and allow the samples to mix while being exposed to the automated washing process. The dilution ratio used in this application is one part of composition and twenty parts of water (1 :20). A pre-calibrated positive displacement pipette is used to dispense 100 iiL of composition on to the bodies in each well, followed by dispensing 2000 Ε of distilled water into each well. The control samples and test samples are dispensed in the specified wells of the plate, all within a 20-minute time frame. Each composition is placed in 3 different well.

5) The skin mimic used in the in-vitro Deposition Evaluation Method is comprised of a molded bicomponent polyurethane substrate. The skin mimic is textured on one side with a pattern that resembles the texture of human skin. The textured side of the skin mimic is coated with 1, 1, 1- trimethyl- 1 -pentene that is plasma deposited. The skin mimic surface has a total surface energy of 32 ±1.0 (mJ/m ² ) and a contact angle in water of 100°±2.0. Suitable skin mimic surface materials are described in co-pending and co-assigned Coated Substrate with Properties of eratinous Tissue, U.S Patent Pub. No. 20070128255A1 (filed Aug. 1 1 , 2006) (published June 7, 2007) and Methods of Use of Substrate Having Properties of Keratinous Tissue, U.S Patent Pub. No. 20070288186A1 (filed Feb. 5, 2007) (published Dec. 13, 2007).

The 12-well plates are labeled to correspond with the test and control product number. Caps and glass scintillation vials are labeled to correspond with well locations. One sheet of skin mimic is placed on the 12-weli die. A clear plexi-glass cover is placed on top of mimic piece and cut using the die cutter. The 12 mimic punches (discs) are carefully placed with texture side up into the center of the w ^r ells in the 12-well plate using sewing needles to lift the mimics into the wells of the plate with a positive displacement dispenser. An amount of 100 μΐ, product is dispensed onto the skin mimic disc in each well, A quantity of 5 grams of 2 mm stainless steel beads are dispensed to each well via a bead dispenser. Then, 2 ml of warm water is pipet into each wel l of all trays via a large volume pipet.

6) The lidded plates are placed into plate holders of an automated cleansing unit, or, a device used in the in-vitro Deposition Evaluation Method of the present invention. The automated cleansing unit comprises a horizontal base comprising four microplate holders. The horizontal base is made of rectangle of aluminum comprising the following approximate dimensions of 3/8 inch in height, fourteen inches in width and twenty seven inches in length. The automated cleansing unit further comprises of two vertical supports comprised of aluminum with the approximate dimensions of 1 inch in length, 2 inches in width and 103/4 an inch in height. The vertical supports are attached to a horizontal support comprising a rodless air slide. The horizontal support comprising a rodless air slide comprises the approximately dimension of ½ inch in length, 2 inches in width and 26½ inches in height. Suitable rodless air slides comprise 1 inch bore and 1 1 inch stroke and have associated end lugs and mount brackets, which are commercially available from McMaster-Carr. The rodless air slide can be double acting and comprises a carriage that is connected to an internal piston and two compressed air ports.

7) The automated cleansing unit comprises two magnetic arms. The horizontal support comprising a rodless air slide is the structure upon which the two magnetic arms are mounted. The magnetic arms are mounted to the rodless air slide such that the magnetic arms move back and forth along the length of the double acting rodless air slide by the force of compressed air. Each of the magnetic arms are comprised of aluminum and have the approximate dimensions of 1 inch, 2 inches and 14 inches in length and have a "T" shape channel that houses seven neodymium iron boron magnets (not shown). Each of the neodymium iron boron magnets has the approximate dimensions of 2 inches in length, 1 inch in width and 1/2 or 1 inch in height. Each of the neodymium iron boron magnets comprises a magnetic strength of 12200 Gauss, available from Edmund Scientifics. The magnetic arms are configured at a height of about 2.75 cm above the microplate holder with the caveat that the magnets maintain their function to attract and move the bodies comprised within the wells of the microplate. The magnetic arms move back and forth along the length of the rodless air slide by the force of compressed air at a speed of approximately six back and forth sweeps over the length of the rodless air slide over a 10 second time period. 8) The magnetic arms can he configured with four microplate holders. Each of the microplate holders comprise a clamping plate and four pistons attached to a pneumatic control unit, When actuated, the pistons for the pneumatic control unit hold the plates in the four plate holders at a pressure of about 90 psi. Prior to placing the lidded plates into the plate holders of automated cleansing unit, the pneumatic control unit is turned on,

9) The automated cleansing unit can comprise a pneumatic control unit. The top view shows components of the pneumatic control unit whic can be connected to the rodless air slide, the piston and clamping plates. The pneumatic control unit can be used to apply compressed air to the automated cleansing unit, which imparts a force by converting the potential energy of compressed air into kinetic energy. The pneumatic control unit comprises a solenoid air control valve, a distribution manifold outlet, a compressed air control valve, a compressed air flow regulator, an alternating output binary valve, a two-hand safety pneumatic control valve, a compressed air control valve and various connectors that provide pressurized air to the automated cleansing unit from an external air source, The air control valve, air flow regulators, alternating a binary valves, a two- hand safety pneumatic control valve are positioned upstream of a solenoid air control valve. An exemplary suitable solenoid air control valve as used herein has a double air style valve with a 10 psi to 120 psi operating pressure. Suitable compressed air flow regulators can operate in the pressure range of 14 psi to 116 psi. Suitable air control valve alternating output binary valves can operate in a 35 psi to 100 psi range. All of the components of the pneumatic control unit are available from McMaster-Carr©.

The lidded plates are placed into the plate holders and pneumatic control unit is actuated such that the lidded plates are held under 90 psi of pressure. The magnetic amis are actuated on and arms moves over the lidded microplates at a height of 2,65 cm above the plate holders. The magnetic arms of the automated cleansing unit, sweep back and forth over the plate holders for 10 minutes, at a speed of 6 sweeps per every 10 seconds. After 10 minutes of the automated cleansing process, the lidded plates are removed from the plate holders and are disassembled, allowed plates to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes prior to rinsing. The plate seals are removed from plates, followed by removing the beads from the wells using a magnet. The shampoo solution removed by tipping the plates. The skin mimic discs stay in the wells during this process, A small container is filled with warm tap water, The skin mimic disks are carefully grasped and removed from well with fine tip forceps, The skin mimic disc is gently dunked up and down in the water five times, followed by blotting excess liquid off of the disc edge using clean paper towel. The disc is then placed into a pre-labeled vial. An extraction buffer containing 80% aqueous solution (0.1N) of EDTA disodium salt dehydrate and 20% ethanol (99.5% purity or greater) is prepared. An amount of 2 niL of the extraction buffer is added to each vial containing a skin mimic disk. The mimic in the scintillation vial is Vortexed on pulse for 5 minutes, and then stored at 4°C (± 3°C) at least overnight,

10) Liquid chromatography analysis is conducted using a HPLC system containing isocratic pump with autosampler, or an equivalent device, UV detector, and data system. A HPLC column of Halo C18 3.0x30mm, 2.7 μηι Mac Mod (Part number 92813-302) or equivalent is used.

As the data shows, soy oligomer and sucrose polyester emulsions provide consumer noticeable benefits across hair type.

Table 10

As data shows, soy oligomer pre-emulsion provide benefit of modifying the damages hair surface energy toward more hydrophobic conditions.

Panelists were give one composition product and a commercial conditioner to use in shower for one week. The commercial conditioner is same for all panelists and all composition. Compositions are randomized for usage sequence among all panelists. Panelists wrote diaries after each use and fill out questionnaires. At end of each week, the panelists were interviewed.

The % of panelists that preferred the compositions is calculated as: Number of panelists who prefer a composition vs. Ex. 5 * 100%/totai number of panelists (n=8). For example: 5 panelist preferred Ex. 3 over Ex. 7, 5* 100%/8 = 63%

The positive verbatim of benefits include:

o "smooth satin feel""

o "smooth look with every hair in its place"

"hair looks healthy and natural, volumizing, soft, thick and moisturized hair feel and fast drying." ZPT deposition on skin mimic

Table 12

Organic oils and lipids, such as a non-limiting example of a soy oligomer, may influence the deposition of solid particles such as ZPT on hair and skin. While improving hair conditioning benefit with soy oligomer, it is important to maintain ZPT deposition on scalp for anti-dandruff efficacy. The present invention has found that soy oligomer does not alter ZPT deposition profile on skin mimic, as exemplified with Ex. 14 containing a pre-emulsified soy oligomer vs. Ex. 26 which does not contain any soy oligiomer (control).

Friction Index of a personal care composition A is the ratio of Hair static Friction of the personal care compositions A divided by Hair Static Friction of a personal care composition B, wherein A contains a pre-emulsified emulsion comprising one or more materials selected from the group comprising metathesized unsaturated polyol esters, sucrose polyesters, fatty esters with a molecular weight greater than or equal to 1500 and mixtures thereof and an anti-dandruff active,

wherein B is a control composition which contains an anti-dandruff active, but does not contain a pre-emulsified emulsion comprising one or more materials selected from the group comprising metathesized unsaturated polyol esters, sucrose polyesters, fatty esters with a molecular weight greater than or equal to 1500 and mixtures thereof. Hair Static Friction is measured as a Peak Sum via the Inter fiber Friction (IFF) method, of hair treated by the compositions according to the protocol described in the IFF method.

For example, Friction Index for shampoo of Example 22 is 1.3 calculated as Hair Static Friction of 2754 divided by Hair Friction of control Experiment 27 which 2199.

Friction Index = 2754/2199.

Friction is the force that resists motion when one body slides over another. The fictional force necessary to slide one surface over another is proportional to the normal load pressing the two surfaces together. The force necessary to initiate movement determines the coefficient of static friction, and the force necessar} _' to maintain mo vement determines the coefficient of kinetic friction. It is known that static friction is required to withstand relatively low weight of a hair fiber at no or low speed for style creation and retention (volume/manageability). Typically, a higher static friction force favors higher hair volume. Relevant friction coefficient for dry combing is under high load and high speed conditions. Lower friction is favorable to ease of combing. To achieve both volume and ease of combing, it is desired to have higher static friction without trading off kinetic friction. When a shampoo product contains soy oiligomer (Ex, 22), the dry static friction index significantly increase to 1.3 compared to the control of 1.0 (Ex. 27). Surprisingly, the dry combing index also increases to 1.2 (Ex. 22) compared to chassis control of 1.0 (Ex. 27). The present invention is directed to the combination of the use of dry static friction index in the range of 1 .05-3, in an embodiment, in the range of 1.07-2; in a further embodiment, in a range of 1.1-1.8.

A Dry combing index is the ratio of the dry combing value of the product and the combing value of a the control product, such as Ex. 27 which has no soy oligomer. The Dry combing index may be greater than or equal to 1 ,05, in an embodiment, greater than or equal to 1.1 , in a further embodiment, greater than or equal to 1.2, wherein the personal care composition of the present invention provides both hair volume and ease of combing.

A consumer test verifies that shampoo composition of Experiment 22, which contains ZPT and oligomeric gSyceride ester conditioning agent, provides increased hair volume / hair fullness. More specifically, four female consumers are given two different silicone-free, anti-dandruff shampoo products, with compositions described as Examples 27 and Example 22 above, for daily use (one week for each product). Then, the consumers are asked to rate these shampoos as follows:

a. Overall rating of the product in a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best. Overall rating for each product is calculated as:

(Average rating x 100) / ^' Highest possible rating number per consumer for each product wherein, the maximum possible number per consumer for each product is 5, as mentioned above.

For example, three panelists gives product of Example 22, a rating of 5, and one panelist gives Experiment 22 a rating of 4. The average rating is calculated as [(5 x 3) + (1 x 4)] / 5 = 4.75, and the Overall Rating for the product is calculated as (4,75 x 100) / 5 ^:::: 95, b. Rating of the product in relation to keeping Volume / Hair Fullness using the scale below. Excellent - 100; Very good - ^■ 75; Good - 50; Fair - 25; Poor - 0.

The Volume / Hair Fullness rating for each product is reported in the table above as the average rating over the four consumers.

This data demonstrates that there is a correlation between consumer assessments of volume and friction data, as expressed as Dry Static Friction (Peak Sum) and Static Friction Index.

The personal care composition may be presented in typical hair care formulations. They may be in the form of solutions, dispersion, emulsions, powders, talcs, encapsulated spheres, spongers, solid dosage forms, foams, and other delivery mechanisms. The compositions of the embodiments of the present invention may be hair tonics, leave-on hair products such as treatment and styling products, rinse-off hair products such as shampoos, and any other form that may be applied to hair.

The personal care compositions are generally prepared by conventional methods such as those known in the art of making the compositions. Such methods typically involve mixing of the ingredients in one or more steps to a relatively uniform state, with or without heating, cooling, application of vacuum, and the like. The compositions are prepared such as to optimize stability (physical stability, chemical stability, photostability) and/or delivery of the active materials. The hair care composition may be in a single phase or a single product, or the hair care composition may be in a separate phases or separate products. If two products are used, the products may be used together, at the same time or sequentially, Sequential use may occur in a short period of time, such as immediately after the use of one product, or it may occur over a period of hours or days.
