The present invention relates to a water-soluble resin, and in particular, it relates to a water-soluble resin, when used as a hair cosmetic material containing an anionic surfactant, which gives conditioning effects such as good touch in finger-combing in rinsing, a smooth feel after dried and a silky feel after dried, to hairs treated with the hair cosmetic material.
BACKGROUND ARTA conditioner is blended with a hair cosmetic material such as shampoo, hair rinse, hair treatment, and hair styling products in order to improve a touch in finger-combing in rinsing, a touch in combing after washed, a soft feel after washed, and other feels. For example, it is known to blend a cationated hydroxycellulose, a cationated guar gum, a dimethyldiallylammonium chloride/acrylamide copolymer, or the like as a conditioner with a shampoo.
A shampoo having a cationated hydroxylcellulose or the like blended therewith has a good touch in finger-combing in rinsing, but hairs after dried may have a rough feel and a stiff feel. Therefore, to improve this, addition of an oil, co-use of a surfactant, and the like are investigated. Above all, it is known that feels after dried greatly varies by adding a silicone oil (for example, JP-A-2003-212733).
Further, because it is essential that a conditioner is adsorbed on hairs, an amino acid-modified cationated polymer is proposed as a conditioner having improved a sticky feel and a slimy feel, while having proper absorbability, and sustaining the conditioning effect without washing out in rinsing (for example, JP-A-2003-34704).
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTIONHowever, according to the investigations by the present inventors, further high conditioning effect may be required. Further, if a silicone oil is added to the hair cosmetic material, a large amount of a cationated hydroxyethyl cellulose or the like is required in order to adhere a sufficient amount of the silicone oil on hairs. As a result, the hair cosmetic material also gives a rough feel. Further, in the case of hairs damaged by bleaching, coloring or the like (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “damaged hairs”), an adsorption amount of the silicone oil may be small, and thus a sufficient conditioning effect was not obtained.
The present invention is to solve the above problems, and it is, for example, an object to provide a water-soluble resin which gives a conditioning effect when it is used in a hair cosmetic material containing an anionic surfactant, or the like.
As a result of keen investigations in view of the above problems, the present inventors have found that hair cosmetic material containing a water-soluble resin having a structure corresponding to a copolymer of a vinylic monomer having a hydroxyl group and an amido bond, and a vinylic monomer having a cationic group show good conditioning effects, and further increases an adsorption amount of a silicone oil when the silicone oil is used together, and have completed the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTIONThe invention is described in detail hereinafter. In the present specification, the expression “to” is used in the meaning of including the numerical values described at positions before and after the expression as the lower limit and the upper limit. Unless otherwise specifically indicated, the concentration as referred to herein is at 25° C.
The water-soluble resin relate to the invention has a structure corresponding to a copolymer of a monomer mixture containing a vinylic monomer (A) having a hydroxyl group and an amido bond, and a vinylic monomer (B) having a cationic group. The vinylic monomer (A) having a hydroxyl group and an amido bond is preferablely a hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylamide monomer (“(meth)acryl” as referred means acryl and methacryl).
CH2═C(R1)—CO—NR2—(CH2)a—OH (1)
wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; R2 represents a hydrogen atom, or an alkyl group or a hydroxyalkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; a is an integer from 1 to 4.

It is considered that the structural unit corresponding to the vinylic monomer (A) having a hydroxyl group and an amido bond increases the effect of adsorbing on hairs by the action of a hydrogen bond derived from the amido bond portion. It is believed that, when an anionic surfactant is used in hair cosmetic material, the anionic surfactant and a water-soluble resin in the material may form a complex, and when the hair cosmetic material is applied to hair or while the hair is shampooed or rinsed with it, then the complex may deposits and adhere to the hair. In the water-soluble resin of the invention, however, after a structural unit corresponding to the vinylic monomer (B) having a cationic group in the copolymer has formed the complex with the anionic surfactant used together, the copolymer may still keep its solubility in water owing to the hydrophilicity of the structural unit corresponding to the vinylic monomer (A) having a hydroxyl group and an amido bond.
When the content of the structural unit corresponding to the vinylic monomer (A) having a hydroxyl group and an amido bond is at least 20% by weight, adsorption force to hairs or the like may effectively be kept, and, a smooth feel and a silky feel of dried hair are further improved. When it is at least 90% by weight, the content of the structural unit corresponding the vinylic monomer (B) having a cationic group is further sufficiently kept, further sufficient complex with the anionic surfactant can be formed, adsorption amount to hairs is improved, and it is more effective by, for example, a smooth feel of hair in rinsing.

Preferably, the content of the other vinylic copolymer is at most 30% by weight.
The contents of the structural unit corresponding to the vinylic monomer (A) having a hydroxyl group and an amido bond, the structural unit corresponding to the vinylic monomer (B) having a cationic group, and the structural unit derived from the other vinylic monomer, in the copolymer can be determined by IR absorption of a hydroxyl group or an amido bond site, 1H-NMR of a hydroxyl group, an amido bond site, or a methyl group adjacent to the cationic group, 13C-NMR of those, and the like.

(Evaluation Method)
Each shampoo composition was applied to a hair bundle provided, and the following items were evaluated respectively. As the hair bundle, “root-trimmed human black hair (100%)” (non-processed hair bundles: 10 g×30 cm), by Viewlax)” was used as “non-processed hair bundles”. Further, hairs obtained by subjecting “non-processed hair bundles” to the following bleach treatment were used as “damaged hairs”. The bleach treatment was conducted by applying a mixture of 12 g of Milbon's Promatis Brave Oxitan 6.0 (hydrogen peroxide 6% cream), and 6 g of Melos Chemical's Powder Bleach MR2, as a bleaching agent to one hair bundle, allowing the same to stand for 30 minutes, washing with water, applying polyoxyethylene (3) lauroyl ether sodium sulfate, and washing.
(1) Lathering
Water was contained in 10 g of a hair bundle with flowing water of 40° C., excess water was removed, and 1 g of a shampoo was applied, and foamed. Degrees of speed of lathering and fineness of foams formed in such a case were evaluated by four levels and ranked.
+2: The sample is better than the standard (with no resin) in point of both the lathering speed and the texture of the later.
+1: The sample is better than the standard in point of either the lathering speed or the texture of the later.
0: The sample is on the same level as the standard.
−1: The sample is inferior to the standard.
(2) Smooth Feel in Rinsing
After evaluation of lathering, smooth feel in finger-through combing in rinsing the hair bundle with flowing water of 40° C., and sustainability of its smooth feel were evaluated by four levels.
+2: The sample is better than the standard in point of the smooth feel, and its smooth feel lasts for 1 minute or more.
+1: The sample is better than the standard in point of either the smooth feel or the smooth feel durability.
0: The sample is on the same level as the standard.
−1: The sample is inferior to the standard.
(3) Silky Feel after Dried
The hair bundle after evaluation of smooth feel in rinsing was dried in a thermostatic chamber at 23° C. and 60% RH overnight, and silky feel of the hair bundle was evaluated by four levels.
+2: The sample is much better than the standard in point of the silky feel.
+1: The sample is better than the standard in point of the silky feel.
0: The sample is on the same level as the standard.
−1: The sample is inferior to the standard.
(4) Softness after Dried
Using the hair bundle after evaluation of Silky feel, softness after dried was evaluated by four levels.
+2: As compared with the standard, the sample does not almost have a rough feel.
+1: The sample has a rough feel in some degree, though better than the standard.
0: The sample is on the same level as the standard.
−1: The sample is inferior to the standard.
(5) Silicone Oil Adsorption
After wetting 10 g of a hair bundle with flowing water of 40° C., water drip was conducted until not dropping water droplets. 1 g of a shampoo was applied to the hair bundle, and the hair bundle was comb 100 times for 1 minute to foam. The hair bundle thus treated was rinsed with flowing water of 40° C. for 30 seconds, and then dried overnight. After repeating this treatment two times, the silicone oil adsorbed on the hairs was extracted, and an adsorption amount was evaluated by NMR measurement (quantitative determination of H in Si—CH3 by 1H-NMR) of the extract.
The extraction was conducted by dipping a hair bundle in a solvent of chloroform/methanol=4/1, treating with ultrasonic wave, drying the solvent in reduced pressure, dissolving in heavy chloroform, adding dimethyl terephthalate as an internal standard, and determining a concentration.
JR400: Cationated hydroxyethyl cellulose
“None” in the Table means that a resin is not blended.
(Evaluation of Results)
- 1) Comprehensively evaluating, Examples 1 to 5 obtained most preferable results, Examples 6 and 7 obtained second preferable results, and Examples 8 to 10 obtained third preferable results.
- 2) Because Comparative Example 1 uses N-methacryloylaminopropyl-N,N-dimethylamine oxide in the production of a water-soluble resin, the structural unit of the water-soluble resin does not have a hydroxyl group. For this reason, the silicone oil adsorption amount on the damaged hairs is low, and silky feel of hair after dried is poor.
- 3) Because Comparative Example 2 uses hydroxyethyl acrylate in the production of a water-soluble resin, the structural unit of the water-soluble resin does not have an amido bond. For this reason, lathering, smooth feel in rinsing, silky feel after dried, softness after dried, and silicone oil adsorption amount in non-processed hair bundles and damaged hairs are poor.
- 4) Because Comparative Example 3 uses cationated hydroxyethyl cellulose which does not have an amido bond as the water-soluble resin, softness after dried is poor in non-processed hair bundles and damaged hairs.
- 5) Because Comparative Example 4 (standard sample) does not contain a resin, lathering, smooth feel in rinsing, silky feel after dried, softness after dried, and silicone oil adsorption amount in non-processed hair bundles and damaged hairs are poor as compared with the hair cosmetic material having blended therein the water-soluble resin of the invention.
When the water-soluble resin of the invention is used in, for example, hair cosmetic material comprising an anionic surfactant as a main component, the water-soluble resin gives conditioning effects, such as a good touch of hair in finger-combing in rinsing, smooth feel after dried, silky feel and softness, to hairs treated with the hair cosmetic material, and thus the industrial value of the invention is remarkable.
Advantage of the InventionThe water-soluble resin of the invention is excellent in lathering, smooth feel in rinsing, silky feel after dried, softness after dried, and silicone oil adsorption amount. For this reason, conditioning effects and the like when used in hair cosmetic material are excellent.
