The present invention is related to an aqueous conditioning composition for hair comprising at least one alkyl ester/amido alkyl amine or alkyl ester/amido alkyl quaternary amine and an aqueous emulsion of divinyldimethicone/dimethicone copolymer with an internal phase viscosity of more than 1×108 mm2/s measured at 0.01 Hz and at approximately 25° C.
The present invention is related to an aqueous conditioning composition for hair comprising at least one alkyl ester/amido alkyl amine or alkyl ester/amido alkyl quaternary amine and an aqueous emulsion of divinyldimethicone/dimethicone copolymer. Conditioning composition of the present invention can be in the form of a shampoo, cleansing—conditioning composition, or in the form of a conditioner used after washing hair with cleansing compositions.
Conditioning compositions for hair have been known for ages. Various types of conditioners are available on the market and new ones are being introduced almost every day. Although this extremely developed conditioner market for keratin fibers and especially human hair, there is still need for improvements.
Generally, use of divinyldimethicone/dimethicone copolymer type of compounds is known in the cosmetic art. For example EP 1093805 A1, EP 1093806 A1, EP 1093807 A1, EP 1093808 A1, EP 1093809 A1, and EP 1108416 A1 disclose compositions for keratin fibres comprising divinyldimethicone/dimethicone copolymer with an internal viscosity up to 1×108 mm2/s and an additional ingredient.
EP 874 017 A2 discloses process for producing divinyldimethicone/dimethicone copolymer.
In addition from number of patent or non-patent literature it has generally been known to use silicone compounds of various chemical natures in hair conditioning and also hair cleansing compositions. Recently, in EP 1676 567 it has been proposed to use in shampoo compositions highly polymerised silicone compounds existing as dispersed particles having certain average diameter. Moreover, EP 1862160 discloses cleansing compositions based on cationic polymer and dimethylsiloxane.
US 2003/0147822 A1 discloses compositions comprising alkyl ether alkyl amine and an acid for hair conditioning which imparts hair smoothness during wetting and after drying. The document does not disclose a composition with an emulsion comprising high viscosity silicone compound.
Consumers with damaged hair often are not satisfied with hair conditioning effect of known conditioners because in case they chose a rich conditioner the hair is afterwards does not have any volume and/or body and after a lighter conditioner use hair is not conditioned enough so that not combable, does not appear shiny, not manageable, etc. In other words for consumers with damaged hair which is not homogeneous in degree of damage, it is very hard to find a correct conditioner. Therefore, there is a great need for a conditioner which homogeneously conditions damaged and healthy hair.
The objective of the current invention is to provide conditioning compositions for hair which conditions damaged and healthy hair homogeneously, so that hair is combable, and other properties of hair are maintained or also improved such as shine, elasticity, volume, body and manageability.
It has surprisingly been found out that a composition comprising at least one alkyl ether alkyl amine or alkyl ether alkyl quaternary amine or ester/amido alkyl amine or alkyl ester/amido alkyl quaternary ammonium compound and an aqueous emulsion of divinyldimethicone/dimethicone copolymer with an internal viscosity of higher than 1×108 mm2/s conditions damaged and healthy hair excellently homogeneously so that hair becomes combabale, has shine, elasticity, volume, body and manageable.
