Silicone compositions for personal care products and method for making

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to compositions for personal care products. More particularly, the present invention relates to silicone compositions which achieve conditioning benefits in hair care products.

Silicones are widely used in hair care products due to the conditioning benefit that they impart to hair. By modern day technology, the silicone is deposited on hair during the application process but is held only by weak physical forces, such as hydrogen bonding or van der Waals interactions. Generally, conditioning benefits are attributed to the deposition of high molecular weight, high viscosity fluids and gums which can weigh down the hair. Because the interactive forces are weak, the benefits of silicone by deposition are short lived. Beneficial conditioning effects can also be caused by treating hair with silanol capped amino-functionalized silicones. These can undergo condensation cure reactions on hair to form somewhat durable films.

It is widely known by those skilled in the art that covalent bonding is one key to “permanent” hair treatment. Processes which alter the structure of the hair, such as permanent wave and color treatment methods, do provide longer lasting effects. These processes include glycolate reduction and peroxide reoxidation. A significant disadvantage of these processes is that they are very damaging to hair and can only be carried out infrequently.

Gough et al. in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,523,080 and 5,525,332 describe the synthesis of silicone-azlactone polymers which exhibit covalent bonding and “permanent” conditioning benefit. Gough et al. discuss incorporating an azlactone-functionalized copolymer which consists of vinylazlactone and methacryloyl polydimethylsiloxane monomers into a silicone-active group-hair structure. The hair treatment using the silicone-azlactone polymers does not consist of the steps of reduction with a glycolate or reoxidation with peroxide.

It is desirable to produce silicone compositions which can be used to treat damaged hair and provide durable benefits. Thus, silicone products are constantly being sought which can both covalently bond to hair as well as impart hair care benefits appreciated by consumers.

Nos. 3,715,334; 3,775,452; and 3,814,730 to Karstedt. Additional background concerning the art may be found at J. L. Spier, “Homogeneous Catalysis of Hydrosilation by Transition Metals, in Advances in Organometallic Chemistry , volume 17, pages 407 through 447, F. G. A. Stone and R.

The subscripts will assume non-integral values for mixtures of compounds that are described by these formulas. The restrictions on the subscripts heretofore described for the stoichiometric subscripts of these compounds are for the pure compounds, not the mixtures.

Preferred leaving groups are bromide, chloride, and iodide. In synthesis, the leaving group is replaced by a molecular hook, so that the linker becomes bound to a molecular hook.

The method for making the silicone compositions of the present invention includes combining a molecular hook, a polysiloxane or silicone resin, and a linker. The sequence of addition can be varied, for example, the linker and the molecular hook can be combined and this combination can be sequentially combined with a polysiloxane or a silicone resin. Preferably, the linker is combined with a polysiloxane or silicone resin and the combination is sequentially combined with the molecular hook.

Silicone compositions of the present invention which include at least one polysiloxane or silicone resin containing at least one linker, and at least one molecular hook typically impart cosmetic and other durable benefits in products such as hair care products, but also including, textile care products, cosmetic products, oral care products, and animal care products. A particular advantage of the present invention is that most of the described linkers provide solubility, in consumer relevant media, to the silicone composition as well as the potential for additional hair care benefits which may or may not be typically associated with the functional groups of the linker. In addition, the molecular hooks of the present invention provide minimal color.

Silicone compositions can be delivered to a substrate, for example hair, in any appropriate formulation, for example, water or water and alcohol mixtures which can contain in a range between about 1% by weight and about 99% by weight alcohol based on the total formulation.

Sodium iodide (10.62 grams, 70.82 millimole) was added as a solid with 200 milliliters of acetone. This mixture was allowed to stir while 9.380 grams (70.97 millimole) of 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-2-thiourea were added piecewise as a solid. An additional 300 milliliters of acetone was then added to the pale yellow reaction mixture which was allowed to stir at room temperature for 3 days. After this time, the reaction mixture was vacuum filtered to remove solids and concentrated under vacuum almost to dryness. The concentrated solution was then precipitated/washed three times with approximately 3 volume-equivalents of distilled water in a blender. The resulting moist powder was dried under a nitrogen flow for 3 days. The final product was a light yellow powder, dispersed in a clear, golden yellow, slightly sticky rubber. 167.2 grams of polymer were isolated, a 92% yield of the dry polymer which contained 6.3 wt % water. 1 H NMR (acetone-d 6 ): δ 7.43 (t, 4.0 H, phenyl), 7.23 (d, to 4.0 H, phenyl), 7.14 (d, 4.0 H, phenyl), 4.51 (s, 4.0 H, CH 2 S), 3.42 (s, 24.0 H, N(CH 3 ) 2 ), 2.69 (m, 4.0 H, SiCH 2 CH 2 ), 2.25 (m, 2.0 H, SiCH(CH 3 )), 1.37 (d, 6.0 H, SiCH(CH 3 )), 0.93 (m, 4.0 H, SiCH 2 CH 2 Ar), 0.12 (s, 288 H, SiCH 3 ).

1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-2-thiuronium-substituted polyether silicone (MD 53 D R7 3.3 M). A 300 milliliter round bottom flask containing a stir bar was charged with 35.47 grams (5.446 millimole) of the polyether-substituted silicone polymer MD 52.7 D R3 3 M followed by approximately 40 milliliters of acetonitrile. 1,1,3,3-Tetramethyl-2-thiourea (2.262 grams, 17.11 millimole) was added in portions as a solid followed by another 30 milliliters of acetonitrile. After stirring overnight at room temperature, the cloudy, light yellow solution became clear and pale yellow. The volatile materials were removed under vacuum, and the final product was recovered in 99.4% yield as a clear, pale yellow, gooey solid. 1 H NMR (acetone-d 6 ): δ 4.31 (t, 6.6 H, CH 2 CH 2 OC(O)), 4.20 (s, 6.6, CH 2 S), 3.73 (t, 6.6 H, CH 2 OCH 2 CH 2 OC(O)), 3.59 (m, 33.66 H, OCH 2 CH 2 O), 3.48, (s, 36.0, N(CH 3 ) 2 ), 3.41 (t, 6.6 H, SiCH 2 CH 2 CH 2 O), 1.64 (m, 6.6 H, SiCH 2 CH 2 CH 2 O), 0.58 (m, 6.6 H, SiCH 2 CH 2 CH 2 O), 0.12 (s, 345.6 H, SiCH 3 ).

It should be noted that while most reactions in which cationic polymers were made were performed at room temperature, in most instances they can be heated to speed the reaction.

Silicone deposition. Polymers described in this invention impart durable benefits to hair such as good combability, manageability, etc. The degree to which the new silicone materials interact with hair durably, after repeated shampooing of hair switches with commercially available shampoo (Prell®), was measured. Permed, bleached, and colored hair switches were contacted with ethanol/water mixtures containing the silicone polymer MD 21 D R5 3.5 M (5% by weight). All experiments were performed with water at pH 9.5 (not buffered). Hair switches were rinsed, extracted, and shampooed 20 times. They were then analyzed for silicon by x-ray fluorescence (XRF). The counts were converted to parts per million (ppm) silicon deposition using standard methods. Results can be seen in Table 1.
