The present invention relates to a personal care composition. In particular, the present invention relates to a personal care composition containing: a cosmetically acceptable carrier; a cosmetically acceptable silicone; a modified carbohydrate polymer; wherein the modified carbohydrate polymer comprises a cellulose ether base material functionalized with (i) quaternary ammonium groups, wherein the quaternary ammonium groups and wherein the modified carbohydrate polymer has a Kjeldahl nitrogen content corrected for ash and volatiles, TKN, of 1.0 to 4.0 wt %; and (ii) hydrophobic substituents, wherein the hydrophobic substituents comprise an alkyl group having an average of 10 to 20 carbon atoms; wherein the modified carbohydrate polymer comprises >0.005 to <0.05 moles of the hydrophobic substituents per mole of the cellulose ether base material; wherein the hydrophobic groups are randomly distributed across the backbone of the cellulose ether base material; and wherein the cellulose ether base material has a weight average molecular weight, Mw, of >200,000 Daltons.
Deposition of silicone is of particular interest for various personal care compositions. In particular, there is interest for personal care cleansers (e.g., body wash, face wash, hand wash, soap, shampoo, shampoo conditioners and hair conditioners) that provide moisturizing/conditioning benefits in addition to cleaning benefits.
Hair cleansing has become an ubiquitous component of personal hygiene. Cleansing of the hair facilitates the removal of dirt, germs and other things that are perceived as harmful to the hair or the individual. Cleansing formulations typically including a surfactant to promote the removal of materials deposited on the hair. Unfortunately, the cleansing formulations remove both undesirable and desirable materials from hair. For example, cleansing formulations frequently undesirably remove oils from hair, which oils operate to protect hair from loss of moisture. Removal of too much oil from hair may leave the hair vulnerable to becoming dry and damaged. One solution to this concern is the selection of mild surfactants. Another approach is to incorporate additives that help replace the oils removed through deposition; however, this approach has proven difficult in implementation, particularly in rinse off applications.
In U.S. Pat. No. 7,067,499, Erazo-Majewicz, et al disclose personal care and household care product composition comprising at least one cationic polygalactomannan or a derivative of cationic polygalactomannans wherein the derivative moiety on the cationic derivatized polygalactomannan is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, alkylhydroxyalkyl, and carboxymethyl wherein the alkyl has a carbon chain containing from 1 to 22 carbons and the hydroxyalkyl is selected from the group consisting of hydroxyethyl, hydroxypropyl, and hydroxybutyl, wherein the at least one cationic polygalactomannan or derivative of cationic polygalactomannans have a mean average molecular weight (Mw) having a lower limit of 5,000 and an upper limit of 200,000 and having a light transmittance in a 10% aqueous solution of greater than 80% at a light wavelength of 600 nm and a protein content of less than 1.0% by weight of polysaccharide, and aldehyde functionality content of at least 0.01 meg/gram.
While conventionally used deposition aids such as soluble cationic modified celluloses (e.g., polyquaternium-10), guar hydroxypropyltriammonium chloride and other cationic polymers (e.g., polyquaternium-6, polyquaternium-7) provide a certain level of deposition in personal care cleansers; they nevertheless exhibit low efficiency necessitating a relatively high incorporation of the active into the personal care cleanser formulation to facilitate desired results. Such high active (e.g., silicone) levels, however, detrimentally effect the foam/lathery in use consumer feel of the formulation and cost.
Accordingly, there remains a need for deposition aids that facilitate enhanced efficiency of silicone deposition from personal care compositions.
The present invention provides a personal care composition, comprising: a cosmetically acceptable carrier; a cosmetically acceptable silicone; a modified carbohydrate polymer; wherein the modified carbohydrate polymer comprises a cellulose ether base material functionalized with (i) quaternary ammonium groups, wherein the modified carbohydrate polymer has a Kjeldahl nitrogen content corrected for ash and volatiles, TKN, of 1.0 to 4.0 wt %; and (ii) hydrophobic substituents, wherein the hydrophobic substituents comprise an alkyl group having an average of 10 to 20 carbon atoms; wherein the modified carbohydrate polymer comprises >0.005 to <0.05 moles of the hydrophobic substituents per mole of the cellulose ether base material; and wherein the hydrophobic groups are randomly distributed across the backbone of the cellulose ether base material; and wherein the cellulose ether base material has a weight average molecular weight, Mw, of >200,000 Daltons.
The present invention provides a method of depositing silicone, comprising: selecting a personal care composition of the present invention; and applying the personal care composition to at least one of skin and hair.

Some embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail in the following Examples.
A 2,000 mL, four necked, round bottomed flask was charged with cellulose ether base material (140.4 g, CELLOSIZE™ QP-100MH hydroxyethyl cellulose available from The Dow Chemical Company), isopropyl alcohol (724.7 g) and deionized water (104.6 g). The flask was fitted with a nitrogen inlet connected to a 60 mL pressure equalizing addition funnel, rubber septum cap, a stirring paddle connected to an electric motor and a Claisen adaptor connected to a Friedrich condenser with a mineral oil bubbler outlet. The addition funnel was then charged with 1-bromododecane (48.2 g) in isopropyl alcohol (40 g). The stirring paddle was engaged and the head space in the flask was purged with a slow, steady flow of nitrogen (one bubble per second) for one hour to remove any entrained oxygen. Then a 50% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (32.16 g) was added dropwise to the flask contents over two (2) minutes. The flask contents were left to stir for an hour following addition of the 50% sodium hydroxide solution. The 1-bromododecane in isopropyl alcohol solution in the addition funnel was then charged dropwise to the flask contents over three (3) minutes. The flask contents were left to stir for twenty (20) minutes following the addition of the 1-bromododecane in isopropyl alcohol. Then heat was applied to the contents of the flask using a heating mantle. The flask contents were allowed to reflux with continued stirring under nitrogen for four and a half (4.5) hours. The flask was then placed in an ice water bath while maintaining a positive nitrogen pressure in the flask to cool the flask contents. The flask contents were then neutralized via the addition thereto of glacial acetic acid (12.0 g) using a syringe. The flask contents were left to stir for ten (10) minutes under nitrogen. The flask contents were then vacuum filtered through a large fritted metal Buchner funnel to recover the hydrophobically modified cellulose ether base material. The recovered hydrophobically modified cellulose ether base material was then washed in the Buchner funnel by stirring in the funnel for five (5) minutes with the specified wash solvents followed by vacuum removal of the wash liquor: deionized water (216 g) in isopropyl alcohol (984 g); deionized water (120 g) in isopropyl alcohol (1,080 g); and then isopropyl alcohol (1,200 g) with 40% aqueous glyoxal (2.88 g) and acetic acid (0.88 g). The washed product hydrophobically modified cellulose ether base material was then briefly air dried and then dried overnight in vacuo at 50° C. The dried product hydrophobically modified cellulose ether base material was then sieved through a 30 mesh plate and obtained as an off-white solid (161.61 g) with a volatiles content of 15.44%, an ash content (as sodium acetate) of 11.58%.
The product hydrophobically modified cellulose ether base material in each of Synthesis S2-S14 was prepared using the same process as described above for Synthesis S1, with appropriate changes in raw material charges to provide the hydrophobically modified cellulose ether base material with the hydrophobic substituent and degree of substitution noted in TABLE 1.
A 500 mL, four necked, round bottomed flask was charged with the product hydrophobically modified cellulose ether base material prepared according to Synthesis S1 (26.08 g), isopropyl alcohol (168.52 g) and deionized water (29.45 g). The flask was then fitted with a nitrogen inlet connected to a 60 mL pressure equalizing addition funnel, rubber septum cap, a stirring paddle connected to an electric motor and a Claisen adaptor connected to a Friedrich condenser with a mineral oil bubbler outlet. The addition funnel was then charged with a 70 wt % aqueous solution of 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride (25.85 g, available from SKW QUAB Chemicals, Inc. under the tradename QUAB® 151). The stirring paddle was engaged and the head space in the flask was purged with a slow, steady flow of nitrogen (one bubble per second) for one hour to remove any entrained oxygen. Then a 25% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (2.42 g) was added dropwise to the flask contents over two (2) minutes. The flask contents were left to stir for an hour following addition of the 25% sodium hydroxide solution. The aqueous 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride solution in the addition funnel was then charged dropwise to the flask contents over three (3) minutes. The flask contents were left to stir for twenty (20) minutes following the addition of the 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride in isopropyl alcohol. Then the flask contents were heated at 55° C. for ninety (90) minutes. The flask was then placed in an ice water bath while maintaining a positive nitrogen pressure in the flask to cool the flask contents. The flask contents were then neutralized via the addition thereto of glacial acetic acid (2.5 g) using a syringe. The flask contents were left to stir for ten (10) minutes under nitrogen. The flask contents were then vacuum filtered through a large fritted metal Buchner funnel to recover the modified carbohydrate polymer. The polymer was then washed in the Buchner funnel by stirring in the funnel for five (5) minutes with the specified wash solvents followed by vacuum removal of the wash liquor: deionized water (36 g) in isopropyl alcohol (164 g); deionized water (20 g) in isopropyl alcohol (180 g); and then isopropyl alcohol (200 g) with 40% aqueous glyoxal (0.44 g) and acetic acid (0.15 g). The washed polymer was then briefly air dried and then dried overnight in vacuo at 50° C. The product polymer was then sieved through a 30 mesh plate and obtained as an off-white solid (27.25 g) with a volatiles content of 3.00%, an ash content (as sodium acetate) of 5.62%. The total Kjeldahl nitrogen, TKN, was determined to be 2.54 wt %. The 1% solution viscosity of the product polymer was measured at 6.31 sec−1 using a TA Instruments DHR-3 rheometer equipped with a 40 mm, 2.0° stainless steel cone & plate sensor at 25° C. and was determined to be 17,721 mPa·s.
The product modified carbohydrate polymer in each of Comparative Examples C1-C2 and Examples 2-12 was prepared using the same process as described above for Example 1, with appropriate changes in raw material charges to provide the product modified carbohydrate polymer with the total Kjeldahl nitrogen, TKN, as reported in TABLE 1.
A shampoo formulation was prepared in each of Comparative Examples CF1-CF5 and Examples F1-F12 using the generic shampoo formulation noted in TABLE 2.

The polymer noted in TABLE 3 was then added to the container with stirring. When the polymer was dissolved, the tetrasodium EDTS was then added to the container. Once the container contents reached 70° C., the 45 wt % aqueous solution of PEG-150 pentaerythrityl tetrastearate and the 30 wt % aqueous solution of cocamide MEA were added to the container. Then the 30 wt % solution of cocamidopropyl betaine was added to the container. The contents of the container were then allowed to cool. Once at room temperature, the phenoxyethanol and methylisothiazolinone preservative and the 50 wt % solids aqueous emulsion of dimethiconol and TEA-dodecylbenzenesulfonate were added to the container. The final pH of the product shampoo formulation was then adjusted to a pH of 5 using sodium hydroxide or citric acid as necessary and sufficient water was added to adjust the total formulation weight to 100 g.
