Description
The present invention relates to cosmetic compositions which can be used for treating keratin substances and which are more particularly intended for treating the hair, skin and nails.
It is well known that keratin fibres, and in particular, hair, are usually sensitised to various degrees by the action of atmospheric agents and also by treatments such as bleaching, perming and/or dyeing, so that the hair is frequently difficult to comb out and style.
One of the means commonly used for improving the comb-out and softness of sensitised hair consists in using cationic surface-active agents.
However, it is known that the use of such compounds has the disadvantage of weighing the hair down considerably and of having an adverse effect on the hold, the body and the liveliness of the hair. As a result, the hair does not easily retain the style or shape which it has been given.
These same disadvantages are particularly visible in the case of fine hair, which lacks bulk, body and hold.
Furthermore, it has already been proposed to improve the comb-out and softness of the hair by using cationic polymers. However, these polymers have the disadvantage of not giving the hair sufficient hold.
To make the style hold, it has also already been recommended to use amphoteric polymers such as those mentioned in U.S. Pat. No. 4,075,131 or French Certificate of Addition No 2 280 361.
Compositions containing only these polymers do not, however, make it possible to obtain sufficient softness and adequate comb-out.
Furthermore, French Specification No 2 470 596, describes the use of amphoteric polymers with cationic polymers. Although the polymers disclosed make it possible to obtain good results as regards the comb-out and hold, the treated hair nevertheless has insufficient liveliness and insufficient stiffness.
We have now just discovered, surprisingly, that the use of amphoteric polymers of betainised dialkylaminoalkyl (meth)acrylate or dialkylaminoalkyl (meth)-acrylamide in combination with a cationic derivative makes it possible to improve the liveliness, the shine, the body and the stiffness of the hair treated with this combination. Furthermore, the hair treated in this way possesses noteworthy comb-out properties in addition to the properties mentioned above. The hair is moreover soft to the touch and retains these properties with time.
The compositions for treating keratin substances, and in particular the hair, nails or skin, according to the present invention, are essentially characterised in that they contain, in a solvent medium, generally an aqueous, alcoholic or aqueous-alcoholic solution, which may or may not be thickened to give a cream, a gel, an emulsion or a foam, for instance, at least one amphoteric polymer of betainised dialkylaminoalkyl (meth)acrylate or dialkylaminoalkyl(meth)acrylamide containing at least units of the formula: ##STR2## in which R.sub.1 denotes a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, R.sub.2 denotes an alkylene group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, Y denotes O or --NH-- and R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 independently of one another denote hydrogen or alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and at least one cationic derivative consisting of a cationic surface-active agent containing at least one nitrogen atom joined to one or more fatty chains and optionally quaternised, or consisting of a cationic polymer of the polyamine, polyaminopolyamide or poly-(quaternary ammonium) type, the amine or ammonium groups forming part of the polymer chain or being joined thereto.
The abovementioned amphoteric polymers are typically used in an amount from 0.01 to 10% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition. The cationic derivatives are typically used in an amount from 0.01 to 10%, and preferably 0.05 to 5%, by weight.
The amphoteric polymers usually have a molecular weight of 500 to 2,000,000 while the cationic polymers usually have a molecular weight of 500 to 2,000,000.
The amphoteric polymers containing units corresponding to the above formula (I) are generally in the form of copolymers which contain, in addition to the units of the abovementioned formula (I), at least units of the formula: ##STR3## in which R.sub.1 is as defined above and R.sub.5 represents an alkyl or alkenyl radical having from 4 to 24 carbon atoms or a cycloalkyl radical having from 4 to 24 carbon atoms.
It is also possible to use terpolymers, tetrapolymers or pentapolymers which contain, in addition to the units (I) and (II) defined above, units of the formula: ##STR4## in which R.sub.6 preferably denotes an alkyl or alkenyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms and R.sub.1 is as defined above, and/or units derived from a hydrophilic ethylenic monomer (IV), and/or units of a second ethylenic monomer (V) which is different from the abovementioned units.
The units of the formula (I) are preferably present in an amount of 25 to 45% by weight and the units of the formula (II) are preferably present in an amount of 5 to 65% by weight.
The units of the formula (III) are preferably present in an amount up to 50% by weight, while the units (IV) and (V) are generally present in an amount up to 20% by weight, relative to the total weight of the polymer.
These polymers can be prepared in known manner by copolymerising the various monomers in a hydrophilic solvent in a first step. In a second step, the polymer thus formed is reacted, as a solution in a hydrophilic solvent, with a halogenoacetate of the formula:
in which X denotes a halogen atom such as chlorine, bromine or iodine and M denotes an alkali metal, in particular sodium or potassium.
A particularly preferred polymer is the copolymer containing units of the formulae (I), (II) and (III) in which Y denotes an oxygen atom, R.sub.2 denotes the group --C.sub.2 H.sub.4 --, R.sub.1, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 denote methyl, R.sub.5 denotes an alkyl group having 4 to 18 carbon atoms and R.sub.6 denotes an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms. The average molecular weight of this polymer is preferably from 70,000 to 90,000. This polymer is sold under the trademark "AMPHOSET" by the firm Mitsubishi Petrochemical Co Ltd or under the Trademark "AMERSETTE" by the firm Amerchol.

This monomer is preferably present in proportions of 10 to 50% by weight, relative to the total weight of the monomers used.
The monomers of the formula (III) are methacrylic or acrylic acid esters, preferably methyl acrylate or methacrylate, ethyl acrylate or methacrylate, propyl acrylate or methacrylate, butyl acrylate or methacrylate and allyl acrylate or methacrylate. These monomers are preferably used in proportions of 5 to 40% by weight, relative to the total weight of the monomers used.
The monomers of the formula (IV) are preferably chosen from N-vinylpyrrolidone, acrylamide, hydroxyethyl or hydroxypropyl acrylate or methacrylate and polyethylene glycol or polypropylene glycol monoacrylate or monomethacrylate. The monomers of formula (V) used are preferably chosen from acrylonitrile, styrene chlorostyrene, vinyltoluene, vinyl acetate, polypropylene glycol monoacrylate or monomethacrylate, vinyltrichlorosilane and methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane.

These solvents can also be used in mixtures with water.

The alkyl radical in all these compounds is generally a linear chain having 12 to 18 carbon atoms.
Other anionic surface-active agents which can be used include fatty acids such as oleic acid, ricinoleic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid and acids derived from copra oil or from hydrogenated copra oil.
The following may also be mentioned:

carboxylic acids of polyglycol ethers, corresponding to the formula:
in the form of bases or salts, in which the substituent Alk corresponds to a linear chain having from 12 to 18 carbon atoms and in which n is an integer from 5 to 15.
Amongst the non-ionic surface-active agents which can be used by themselves or in a mixture, there may be mentioned, in particular: polyoxyethyleneated, polyoxypropyleneated or polyglycerolated alcohols, alkylphenols and fatty acids with a linear fatty chain containing 8 to 18 carbon atoms and most frequently containing 2 to 30 mols. of ethylene oxide. There may also be mentioned copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, condensates of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide with fatty alcohols, polyoxyethyleneated fatty amides, polyoxyethyleneated fatty amines, ethanolamides, fatty acid esters of glycol, oxyethyleneated or non-oxyethyleneated fatty acid esters of sorbitan, fatty acid esters of sucrose, fatty acid esters of polyethylene glycols, phosphoric acid triesters, and fatty acid esters of glucose derivatives.
Other compounds included in this class are: condensation products of a monoalcohol, an .alpha.-diol, an alkylphenol, an amide or a diglycolamide with glycidol, such as:

compounds corresponding to the formula:
in which R.sub.5 denotes an alkyl, alkenyl or alkylaryl radical and q has a statistical value of 1 to 10, such as the compounds described in French Patent 1,477,048; and
compounds corresponding to the formula:

Amongst the amphoteric surface-active agents which can be used, there may be mentioned, more particularly, alkylamino-monopropionates and alkylamino-dipropionates, betaines such as N-alkylbetaines, N-alkylsulphobetaines and N-alkylamidobetaines, cycloimidinium compounds such as alkylimidazolines, and asparagine derivatives.
It is self-evident that the abovementioned surfaceactive agents can be used not only as solubilising agents but also for taking advantage, either simultaneously with or independently of the abovementioned effect, of their foaming, wetting, detergent, dispersing or emulsifying properties.
The compositions according to the invention can contain cosmetically acceptable solvents such as monoalcohols, polyalcohols, glycol ethers, esters and methylene chloride, which act as solubilisers.
If the composition also contains a solubilising agent, this agent, which can be a single agent of the type mentioned above or a mixture of two or more agents of the type defined above, is suitably present in an amount of 0.1 to 70% and preferably 0.5 to 50% of the total weight of the composition.
The compositions according to the present invention can be used as such for the purpose of treating the hair or skin, or can serve as a "base or carrier" forming part of cosmetic formulations which also contain an effective amount of active product and which are intended for application to the skin or hair in order to protect it against attack from, say, atmospheric agents or actinic rays, and also for promoting the action of any other active product intended for the skin, hair or nails.
The compositions according to the present invention are suitably presented in the form of thickened or non-thickened, aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic solutions, creams, gels, dispersions, emulsions, aerosol foams or sprays; they can also be presented in the form of powders or lyophilisates to be diluted in a suitable carrier at the time of use.
In addition to the amphoteric polymer or polymers and the cationic derivative or derivatives, they can contain adjuvants normally used in cosmetics, such as perfumes, dyestuffs which can serve to colour either the composition itself or the hair, skin or nails, preservatives, sequestering agents, thickeners, emulsifying agents, softeners, electrolytes, non-ionic or anionic polymers and foam stabilisers, depending on the application envisaged.
The compositions can also contain electrolytes such as alkali metal salts and in particular sodium, potassium or lithium salts, these salts preferably being halides, such as the chloride or bromide, sulphates, carbonates or salts of organic acids, such as acetates or lactates, in concentrations not exceeding 10% and preferably 0.5 to 5% by weight.
If the cosmetic compositions as defined above are used for treating the hair, they can be presented, more particularly, in the form of colouring or bleaching products, shampoos, rinsing lotions or creams to be applied before or after shampooing, before or after colouring or bleaching or before or after perming or straightening, setting lotions, blow-drying lotions, restructuring lotions, perming lotions or straightening lotions, and can be dispensed in the form of aerosol foams or sprays.
When the compositions are in the form of shampoos, the concentration of surface-active agent is generally from 3 to 50%, and preferably from 3 to 20%, by weight, and the pH is generally from 3 to 10.
Another embodiment consists of rinsing lotions to be applied mainly before or after shampooing. These lotions are typically aqueous or aqueousalcoholic solutions, emulsions, thickened lotions or gels.
If the compositions are presented in the form of emulsions, they can be non-ionic or anionic. The non-ionic emulsions consist mainly of a mixture of an oil and/or a fatty alcohol with a polyoxyethyleneated alcohol, such as polyoxyethyleneated stearyl or cetyl-stearyl alcohol. Cationic surface-active agents such as those defined above can be added to these compositions.
The anionic emulsions are essentially made up from soaps.
If the compositions are presented in the form of thickened lotions or gels, they contain thickeners, in the presence or absence of solvents. The thickeners which can be used include sodium alginate, gum arabic or cellulose derivatives such as methylcellulose, hydroxymethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose or hydroxypropylmethylcellulose. The lotions can also be thickened by means of a mixture of a polyethylene glycol and a polyethylene glycol stearate or distearate or by means of a mixture of a phosphoric acid ester and an amide. The concentration of thickener is suitably from 0.5 to 30% by weight and preferably from 0.5 to 15% by weight. The pH of the rinsing lotions is generally from 3 to 9.
If the compositions according to the invention are presented in the form of styling lotions, shaping lotions or so-called setting lotions, they generally comprise, in aqueous, alcoholic or aqueous-alcoholic solution, the components of the combination defined above, together, if appropriate, with nonionic polymers and anti-foam agents.
If the compositions of the present invention are in the form of dyeing compositions for keratin fibres, they contain, in addition to the amphoteric polymer (or polymers) and the cationic derivative (or derivatives), at least one oxidation dyestuff precursor and/or one direct dyestuff and, if appropriate, various adjuvants enabling them to be presented in the form of creams, gels or solutions described above.
They can also contain antioxidants, sequestering agents or any other adjuvant normally used in this type of composition.
The pH of these dyeing compositions is generally from 7 to 11 and it can be adjusted to the desired value by adding an alkalising agent such as ammonia, an alkali metal hydroxide, alkali metal or ammonium carbonate, an alkylamine, alkanolamine or a mixture thereof.
Again, the combination according to the invention can be provided in compositions intended for waving or straightening the hair. This composition contains, in addition to the amphoteric polymer (or polymers) and the cationic derivative (or derivatives), one or more reducing agents, and if appropriate, other adjuvants normally used in this type of composition, and is used in conjunction with a neutralising composition.
The reducing agents which can be used include sulphites, mercaptans and, more particularly, thioglycolates, thiolactates or a mixture thereof.
The neutralising composition contains an oxidising agent which is typically hydrogen peroxide or an alkali metal bromate or perborate.
These compositions can also be packaged as aerosols, in which case they can be applied either in the form of aerosol sprays or in the form of aerosol foams.
If the compositions according to the present invention are dispensed in the form of aerosol foams, the propellant gases used to pressurise the cosmetic formulations are suitably present in an amount not exceeding 25% and preferably 15%, relative to the total weight of the composition. Propellant gases which can be used include carbon dioxide, nitrogen, nitrous oxide, volatile hydrocarbons such as butane, isobutane, propane and mixtures thereof, and non-hydrolysable chlorohydrocarbons and/or fluorohydrocarbons such as those sold under the name FREON by Du Pont de Nemours, in particular the fluorochlorohydrocarbons, such as dichlorodifluoromethane or Freon 12 and dichlorotetrafluoroethane or Freon 114. These propellants can be used by themselves or in combination; the mixture of Freon 114/12 in proportions varying from 40:60 to 80:20 may be mentioned in particular.
The present invention also provides a process for the preparation of a foam which collapses on contact with the hair and which is based on amphoteric polymers defined above and on cationic derivatives, characterised in that this foam is obtained from a composition such as defined above and pressurised in an aerosol device.
The invention also provides the foam thus formed, which is essentially characterised in that it has a density of less than 0.4 and preferably of less than 0.25, and in that it collapses, that is to say that it disappears very rapidly, on contact with the hair after massaging. The disappearance time is less than 1 minute and preferably less than 30 seconds.
The pH of these compositions can be adjusted with an alkalising or acidifying agent normally used in the field of cosmetics. The pH is generally from 3 to 10, depending on the application envisaged. It can be adjusted using alkalising or acidifying agents which are well known in the state of the art.
Another embodiment of the process according to the invention consists in forming the combination of the cationic derivative and the amphoteric polymer on the fibres, and in particular on the hair, by applying, in a first step, a composition, for example in the form of a pre-lotion, containing the cationic polymer, and in a second stage, a composition, such as a shampoo or a dye, containing the amphoteric polymer such as defined above.
According to another variant of the invention, a shampoo containing the cationic polymer can be applied in a first step and a composition, such as a lotion, containing the amphoteric polymer can be applied in a second step.
Another possible procedure is to use a perming, straightening, colouring or bleaching composition containing the cationic polymer, and to follow the treatment with this first composition by a treatment with a composition containing the amphoteric polymer, the latter being placed in a composition which can be a shampoo, an oxidising solution or a simple lotion.
Another possible procedure is to use successively a first shampoo containing the cationic derivative and, in a second step, a second shampoo containing the amphoteric polymer, it being possible for the pH of the compositions applied in these two steps to be different and to be adjusted so that, at the time of application of the composition containing the amphoteric polymer, the pH conditions permit a good deposition of the combination according to the invention on the fibres to be treated.
If the compositions are used for application to the skin, they can be presented in the form of after-shave lotions, toilet waters or shaving foams.
