Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to personal care product compositions comprising a fatty amide such as erucamide and/or derivatives thereof having a chemical formula ranging from C18H43NO to C40H79NO, and methods for making such compositions.
Traditionally personal care products on the market, such as hair conditioners, shampoos, shaving creams, moisturizing lotions and the like often contain cationic polymers or silicone compounds. Cationic polymers, such as quats, and/or silicone compounds have traditionally been used in personal care products as a slip additive to reduce the coefficient of friction and/or static electricity in the user's hair or on the user's skin when the personal care product is used. However, because such compounds are not biodegradable and have a large carbon footprint in their manufacture, their use in personal care products is harmful to the environment. Many of these compounds ultimately end up in the ground or the water supply, for example because they are washed down the drain during showering or bathing, or they are stripped from hair and/or skin during swimming in lakes, rivers and oceans. Disposal of personal care products containing these compounds in landfills also contributes to this problem.
In addition, personal care products using cationic polymers and/or silicone compounds can have undesirable effects on the human body. For example, the use of silicone in personal care products can lead to skin and scalp irritation. Further, cationic polymers and silicone compounds used in hair conditioners and shampoos can lead to residue buildup, leaving a user's hair heavy and limp, in turn making it difficult to manage and style. This may cause a user to shower more frequently, thereby increasing the deposit rate of these compounds into the environment, further damaging the user's hair, and wasting water.
There is a need for personal care products comprising compositions that utilize cationic polymers and silicone compounds to the least extent possible. There is also a need for these products to be formulated to improve biodegradable qualities while maintaining (or even improving) the performance characteristics of the products, such as providing smoother skin; shinier, softer and more manageable hair; less irritation and less product build-up in the hair and on the skin.
The present disclosure attempts to solve one or more of the aforementioned needs by providing, in one aspect, personal care product compositions comprising a fatty amide, such as erucamide and/or derivatives thereof having a chemical formula ranging from C18H43NO to C40H79NO. Such erucamide derivatives may include stearyl erucamide. The present disclosure also discloses methods for making such compositions. Personal care products contemplated herein may include, but are not limited to, hair conditioning lotions, hair conditioners, conditioning shampoos, 2-in-1 conditioning shampoos, hair color treating shampoos and/or conditioners, hair color treating 2-in-1 conditioning shampoos, quat-free conditioners, non-foaming shave lotions and shave creams, foaming shave lotions and shave creams, brushless shave creams and lotions, moisturizing lotions and creams, barrier repair lotions and creams, conditioning hand lotions and creams, cleansing wipes, hair detangling sprays, leave-in conditioners, deodorants, deodorant sticks, antiperspirants, antiperspirant sticks, press powder eye shadow, and pigmented products such as make-up, color cosmetics, powders, lipsticks, eye shadows, blush, foundation, etc. that include a fatty amide such as erucamide or its derivatives having a chemical formula ranging from C18H43NO to C40H79NO. The contemplated personal care product formulations may also include one or more other components including but not limited to water, a triol (e.g., glycerin), a surfactant (e.g., sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate), a cleansing agent (e.g., sodium lauroyl sarcosinate), a thickener (e.g., hydroxypropylmethylcellulose), emulsifiers (e.g., glyceryl monostearate), preservatives (e.g. glyceryl/polyglyceryl-3 caprylic/capric/lactic/lauric acid esters), a fatty alcohol (e.g., cetyl alcohol), a fatty acid (e.g., stearic acid), and citric acid, in various concentrations and/or combinations thereof. Other components in the personal care product formulations of the present disclosure may also include a nonionic polymer (e.g., cetyl hydroxyethylcellulose), a fragrance (e.g., lavender, vanilla, etc.), an emollient (e.g., caprylic/capric triglyceride), baking soda (e.g., sodium bicarbonate), magnesium hydroxide, coconut oil, arrowroot powder, shea butter, sunflower wax, in various concentrations and/or combinations thereof.
It is further contemplated that personal care product compositions comprising a fatty amide, such as erucamide or its derivatives having a chemical formula ranging from C18H43NO to C40H79NO may provide benefits to a user, such as smoother skin; shinier, softer and more manageable hair; less irritation and less product build-up in the hair and on the skin than compositions having silicone compounds or cationic polymers. It is therefore contemplated by the present disclosure that a fatty amide is to be used in personal care products in place of or as an alternative to cationic polymers and/or silicone compounds.

The present disclosure is generally related to personal care products that include erucamide and/or its derivatives which are used on the body, head and/or hair of a user. Formulation of these contemplated personal care products may also include one or more other components such as water, a triol (e.g., glycerin), a surfactant (e.g., sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate), a cleansing agent (e.g., sodium lauroyl sarcosinate), a thickener (e.g., hydroxypropylmethylcellulose), emulsifiers (e.g., glyceryl monostearate), preservatives (e.g. glyceryl/polyglyceryl-3 caprylic/capric/lactic/lauric acid esters), a fatty alcohol (e.g., cetyl alcohol), a fatty acid (e.g., stearic acid), and citric acid, in various concentrations and/or combinations thereof and any other ingredient disclosed herein, as further described below.
Erucamide and its derivatives are primary fatty amides resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of erucic acid with ammonia. Erucamide and its derivatives are commonly used as slip additives in the plastic manufacturing industry, and specifically as a release agent for polyolefins used in rotational and injection molding of items such as syringes, furniture compounds, and automobile compounds. Their use improves mold release, thereby reducing and/or eliminating the use of mold release spray; allows the use of lower clamp and ejection pin pressure; lowers rejection rates caused by deformation and pin marks; improves melt flow characteristics and reduces cycle time; and improves the final “feel” of the molded article and scratch resistance.
The present disclosure details how to use erucamide and its derivatives, which were traditionally used as a slip additive in the plastic manufacturing industry, in personal care products to achieve smoother and less irritated skin, reduced product build-up in the hair and on the skin; and smoother, softer, shinier and more manageable hair.
