Field of the Invention

Disclosed herein is a styling composition. The styling composition includes petrolatum, a mixture of an emollient and an antioxidant, at least one moisturizing agent, and an oil. The styling composition is substantially free of a fragrance component.

Background of the Invention

Styling compositions for hair can include a vast array of products including hairsprays, gels, mousses, creams, pomades, waxes, and glues. Each of these different types of styling compositions include active ingredients to give a user’s hair a certain feel and styling. Styling compositions are generally intended for topical application to the hair and skin.

Hair sprays and hair gels are hairstyling products that stiffen hair. Hair gel is generally stronger than hair spray, while hair glue and hair wax are stronger than either hair gel or hairspray. Hair mousse can be in the form of a cream or spray and is added to hair for extra volume and/or shine. The combination of hair gel and hair mousse creates a stiff, wet look to the hair.

Pomades, waxes, glues, and clays are further hair styling products. Pomades assist in improving overall control and appearance of the hair. Unlike sprays and gels, pomades do not dry but rather increase the luster and hold of hair. Pomades can also give hair a shiny and slick appearance. Pomades are typically applied to hair in an emulsion or gel consistency. Most pomades contain petroleum jelly, water insoluble materials, and a semi-solid mixture of hydrocarbons to absorb moisture and provide a feeling of wetness. Other ingredients present in a pomade can include a wide array of waxes and/or artificial substances such as polyethylene glycol or ethyl hexanediol. Pomades can also contain artificial fragrances such as perfumes, fruit fragrances, and dyes. There is continually a desire for the use of more natural ingredients. As such, there is continually a need for more natural styling compositions without as many artificial ingredients including fragrances and dyes.

Summary of the Invention

Disclosed in various aspects are styling compositions.

A styling composition comprises 50 to 70% by weight petrolatum; 20 to 30% by weight of a mixture of an emollient and an antioxidant; 4 to 12% by weight of at least one moisturizing agent; and 0.005 to 0.1% by weight of an oil, preferably coconut oil. The styling composition is substantially free of a fragrance component.

These and other features and characteristics are more particularly described below.

Detailed Description of the Invention

Disclosed herein is a styling composition. The styling composition can be in the form of a gel, cream, pomade, or a combination thereof. The styling composition is substantially free of a fragrance component. The styling composition is substantially free of a dye. The styling composition contains petrolatum, a mixture of an emollient and an antioxidant, at least one moisturizing agent, and oil. The styling composition contains fewer and more natural components than other styling compositions. It was surprisingly found that the inclusion of at least one moisturizing agent resulted in a styling composition that did not also require the use of an artificial fragrance component. Rather, the at least one moisturizing agent provided a satisfactory scent to the styling composition.

As used herein, except where explicitly described, substantially free of means less than 3% by weight. Percent by weight (% by weight) referred to herein throughout refers to the % by weight in the overall composition.

The styling composition disclosed herein contains petrolatum. The petrolatum can be present in an amount of 40 to 80% by weight of the composition. For example, the petrolatum can be present in an amount of 50 to 70% by weight of the styling composition. For example, the petrolatum can be present in an amount of 55 to 65% by weight of the styling composition. The petrolatum can be conventional petroleum jelly, natural based non-petroleum jelly, or a combination thereof. For example, natural based non-petrolatum jelly could be plant or bio-derived. The natural non-petroleum jelly can be derived from one or more of the following feedstocks: soy, rapeseed, coconut, palm, lard, tallow, cooking oil, having different chain length hydrocarbons. The natural non-petroleum jelly is not limited to the feedstocks listed herein but can include any natural or bio-derived feedstock.

The styling composition contains a mixture of an emollient and an antioxidant. The styling composition can contain 10 to 40% by weight of the mixture of the emollient and antioxidant. For example, the styling composition can contain 15 to 35% by weight of the mixture of the emollient and antioxidant. For example, the styling composition can contain 20 to 30% by weight of the mixture of the emollient and antioxidant.

The emollient can be selected from argan oil, silicone, grapeseed oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, olive oil, avocado oil, castor oil, mineral oil, shea butter, jojoba oil, coconut oil, or a combination thereof. Preferably, the emollient is mineral oil.

The antioxidant can be selected from beta carotene, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, tocopherol, green tea extract, grape seed extract, lemongrass, oolong, kiwi extract, selenium, or a combination thereof. Preferably, the antioxidant is tocopherol.

The styling composition contains at least one moisturizing agent. The at least one styling composition can contain 1 to 20% by weight of the at least one moisturizing agent. For example, the at least one moisturizing agent can be present in an amount of 2 to 15% by weight of the styling composition. For example, the at least one moisturizing agent can be present in an amount of 4 to 12% by weight of the styling composition. For example, the at least one moisturizing agent can be present in an amount of 5 to 8% by weight of the styling composition.

The at least one moisturizing agent can be selected from paraffin wax, glycerin, beeswax, panthenol, or a combination thereof. When present, the paraffin wax can be present in an amount of 2.5 to 7.5% by weight of the styling composition. For example, when present, the paraffin wax can be present in an amount of 3.0 to 6.0% by weight of the styling composition.

When present, the beeswax can be present in an amount of 0.5 to 3.5% by weight. For example, when present, the beeswax can be present in an amount of 1.0 to 3.0% by weight.

The styling composition can contain an additional oil component. The additional oil component can provide additional moisturization to the styling composition. The additional oil component can be present in an amount of 0.001 to 0.2% by weight of the styling composition. For example, the additional oil component can be present in an amount of 0.05 to 0.1 % by weight of the styling composition. For example, the additional oil component can be present in an amount of 0.01 to 0.03% by weight of the styling composition. The additional oil component can be coconut oil.

As previously mentioned herein, the styling composition can be substantially free of a fragrance component. Substantially free of with respect to the fragrance component means that the fragrance component is present in an amount of less than 1.0% by weight, for example, 0.5% by weight, for example, 0.3% by weight. The styling composition can contain 0.0001% by weight of a fragrance component. The styling composition can contain 0% by weight of a fragrance component.

It was unexpectedly found that the inclusion of at least one moisturizing agent in the styling composition negated the need for a separate, additional fragrance component. It was surprising that the at least one moisturizing agent provided an additional benefit of a pleasant scent to the styling composition.

Although not necessary, it is possible to include a fragrance component in the styling composition. When present, the fragrance component can be included in an amount of less than or equal to 1.0% by weight of the composition. The styling composition can contain additional ingredients in addition to those previously described herein.

For example, the styling composition can contain additional moisturizing agents such as cannabis sativa seed oil (i.e., hemp seed oil). The hemp seed oil generally contains 2.5 to 25% by weight cannabigerol and/or cannabidiol at 0.5 to 10 percent by weight. When used, such oil makes up 0.0001 to 1 .5% by weight of the styling composition, and preferably, 0.01 to 1% by weight of the styling composition, if used, including all values and ranges subsumed therein. Cannabis sativa seed oil can provide moisturization, can help in stimulating hair growth, and can help in preventing hair breakage. When present, the additional moisturizing agent(s) can be present in an amount of 0.0001 to 0.1 % by weight of the styling composition.

Other possible, optional moisturizing agents present at total levels of less than about 2, 1 .0, or 0.5% by wt. in the styling composition include but are not limited to the following:

(a) silicone oils and modifications thereof such as linear and cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes; amino, alkyl, alkylaryl, and aryl silicone oils;

The styling composition can additionally contain an emulsifier. The emulsifier may be selected from the group consisting of those with a C10-C20 fatty alcohol or acid hydrophobe condensed with about 2 to about 100 moles of ethylene oxide or propylene oxide per mole of hydrophobe; C2-C10 alkyl phenols condensed with 2 to 20 moles of alkylene oxide; mono- and di-fatty acid esters of ethylene glycol; sorbitan, mono- and di- C8-C20 fatty acids; and polyoxyethylene sorbitan, or a combinations thereof. Alkyl polyglycosides and saccharide fatty amides (e.g. methyl gluconamides) can also be used as nonionic emulsifiers.

When used, emulsifiers typically have an HLB (hydrophilic-lipophilic balance) of 7.5 to 28, and preferably, 8 to 25, and most preferably, 9 to 20, including all ranges subsumed therein, e.g., nonionic emulsifier can include polysorbate 20 (Tween 20), polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate (Tween 80). Other emulsifiers that can be used include cetearyl glucoside and combinations with cetearyl alcohol also known as Montanov 68, or a combination thereof. When present, the emulsifier can be present in an amount of 0 to 3% by weight, for example, 1% by weight. As previously noted herein, the antibacterial compositions can be substantially emulsifier free and opaque. Substantially emulsifier free means that the composition contains less than 3% by weight emulsifier, preferably, less than 2% by weight emulsifier, more preferably less than 0.5% by weight emulsifier, most preferably, 0% by weight emulsifier. Optionally, the emulsifier can comprise a phospholipid such as hydrogenated phosphatidylcholine (i.e. , lecithin) in the emulsifier amounts previously described.

Preferably, the emulsifier is selected from polysorbate 20 (Tween 20), polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate (Tween 80), cetearyl glucoside, cetearyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate, cetyl alcohol, or a combination thereof.

For example, humectants can optionally be used in the styling composition to provide additional moisturization properties to the composition. Such humectants desirable for use in the antibacterial composition can include water soluble polyols such as propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, polypropylene glycol (e.g., PPG-9), polyethylene glycol, hydroxypropyl sorbitol, hexylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, 1,4-butylene glycol, 1,2-octane diol, 1,2-hexane diol, isoprene glycol, 1,2,6-hexanetriol, ethoxylated glycerol, propoxylated glycerol and combinations thereof. Most preferred are glycerin, butylene glycol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycols, sorbitol, polyglycerol, isoprene glycol, or a combination thereof. The humectant can be present in an amount of 1 to 15% by weight, preferably 2 to 10% by weight, more preferably 3 to 8% by weight of the antibacterial composition.

To adjust antibacterial composition viscosity, it is within the scope of the compositions to optionally include thickening agents. Thickening agents can be used in the antibacterial composition to assist in forming the composition (e.g., giving it structure). Thickening agents can be used in an amount of 0.01% by weight to 2.5% by weight, for example, 0.1% by weight to 2.0% by weight, for example, 0.15% by weight to 1.5% by weight, for example, 0.20% by weight to 1.0% by weight including all values and ranges subsumed therein. The amount of thickening agent to be used can be adjusted based on the desired end use viscosity. The thickening agents can comprise an anionic thickening agent, a nonionic thickening agent, cationic thickening agents, or a combination thereof. For example, the thickening agent can comprise a hydrophobically modified crosspolymer. Synthetic polymers are effective thickening agents. As described above, possible thickening agents includes crosslinked polyacrylates such as the carbomers like ASHLAND™ 980 carbomers (cross linked polymer of acrylic acid), acrylate copolymers, acrylates/ acrylate (C10-C30) alkyl acrylate crosspolymers such as the Carbopol® line like Ultrez20 and ETD2020 commercially available from Lubrizol with an INCI name of acrylates/C 10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer, still further Carbopol series of polymers can also include UltrezIO, Ultrez21.

Examples

The following examples are merely illustrative of the styling compositions disclosed herein and are not intended to limit the scope hereof.

Examples 1 and 2

Example 1 was made without an added fragrance component as shown in Table 1. Example 2 was made with a fragrance component as shown in Table 2.

Table 1: Example 1, no fragrance added

Table 2: Example 2, fragrance added

The styling compositions of Examples 1 and 2 both formed an opaque, waxy paste. Both Examples 1 and 2 had a pleasant fragrance. This was surprising with respect to Example 1, since Example 1 did not contain an additional fragrance component.

Example 3 Example 3 was made according to the formulation listed in Table 3. Example 3 was tested for various stability properties. Table 3: Example 3

The composition was measured for appearance, color, odor, penetration, and specific gravity after 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks. The results were measured on a scale of 0 to 5 with 0 being the best (e.g., no off color, no off smell, etc.) and 5 being the worst.

Measurements were taken at 25°C, 37°C, 45°C, and 4°C.

Table 4 lists appearance measurements, which were taken based on a visual assessment, while Table 5 lists color measurements, which were taken based on a visual assessment. Table 6 lists odor measurements, which were taken based on an olfactory assessment.

Table 4: Appearance Assessments Table 5: Color Assessments Table 6: Odor Assessments

Table 7 lists penetration results which were conducted with a 5 second drop and 60 degree cone. Penetration was measured in millimeters (mm). Table 8 lists specific gravity measurements measured in kg/m ³ .

Table 7: Penetration

Table 8: Specific Gravity

As can be seen from the results in Tables 1-8, the styling composition is stable at various temperatures and after a period of time.
