Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a shampoo composition, and more specifically, relates to an improvement of the useability or applicability thereof.
2. Description of the Related Art
Damage to the hair caused by chemical treatments such as permanent waving, hair dying, and hair bleaching has long been a problem, and particularly, due to an increased number of these chemical treatments for the hair, an increase in the number of times that the hair is washed, contamination of the hair by air pollution, changes in the social environment such as a drying of hair due to air conditioning, etc., the hair is now far more susceptible to damage. Accordingly, the functions demanded from a shampoo are not merely foaming and washability, but also hair conditioning effects (not causing damage to the hair or repairing damaged hair; a good useability such as easy passing of the fingers therethrough when washing or rinsing the hair, no hair squeak, an easy unification of the hair after drying, pliability, and easy combing, etc.) are now required.
To provide a shampoo with a conditioning effect, frequently used in the art are oily components such as lanolin derivatives, protein derivatives, and higher alcohols, humectants such as glycerine, polyethylene glycol, and propylene glycol, amphoteric or nonionic water-soluble high molecular weight compounds, and natural plant extracts, etc.
These components, however, are poorly adsorbed onto the hair, and are mostly washed away during the rinsing operation after the shampooing, and therefore, do not provide a satisfactory conditioning effect for damaged hair, particularly hair damaged by permanent waving, hair dying and hair bleaching.
On the other hand, as the surfactant formulated in the art as the detergent in shampoos used by experts such as barbers or beauty salons and those for general commercial products, primarily alkylsulfate salts, polyoxyethylene alkylsulfate salts, alkylbenzenesulfonic acid salts, and .alpha.-olefin-sulfonic acid salts are frequently used.
Shampoos containing these surfactants, although having a good washing power, are known to more or less irritate the skin, whereby experts subject to frequent changes of shampoos used, such as barbers or beauty salon staff, are susceptible to skin disorders such as hand roughness, etc.
Accordingly, the present inventors previously called attention to the intimate correlation between a protein denaturation power and useability improvement, and developed a detergent composition using a surfactant with a low protein denaturation power (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) No. 57-195800), or a detergent composition formulated with a specific cationic high molecular weight compound and having an even lower protein denaturation power (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) No. 58-138799).
Current hair fashions and other developments require that people wash their hair at least 3 to 4 times a week, or even every day, and accordingly, if the hair is washed with a shampoo formulated with a strong surfactant which irritates the skin, the problem of a roughness of the scalp arises, which leads to the generation of dandruff and an itchy scalp.
Accordingly, under the present situation there is an urgent demand for a shampoo which has a conditioning effect suitable for use by barbers and beauty salons, without anxiety, and for general commercial products, and at the same time, having a very low skin irritation effect.
In view of the above, the above-mentioned respective inventions created by the present inventors do not have a required useability, and thus there is a need for the formulation of a shampoo composition having a far better useability.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, the objects of the present invention are to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art and to provide a shampoo composition having an excellent conditioning effect and a good useability, and at the same time, a markedly lower skin irritation effect.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following description.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a shampoo composition comprising components (I) to (V) shown below:

(II) at least one betaine type amphoteric surfactant;
(III) at least one nonionic surfactant with an HLB of 10 to 16;
(IV) at least one surfactant selected from alkylolamide type nonionic surfactants represented by the formula (B): ##STR4## wherein R.sub.3 represents an alkyl group or an alkenyl group with an average carbon atom of 7 to 19, m and n are integers, and m+n is 1 to 5, and semi-polar surfactants;

Organic Acid
Examples of the organic acid to be used in the present invention are citric acid, lactic acid, and tartaric acid.
By thus formulating an organic acid, an improvement of the stability of the nonionic surfactant can be effected, and a separation or decomposition thereof can be effectively prevented.
The amount formulated is preferably 0.001 to 2% by weight, more preferably 0.01 to 1.5% by weight, of the total amount of the shampoo composition.
Since the organic acid is used for the improvement of the stability of the nonionic surfactant, the formulation ratio thereof is intimately correlated, and preferably the organic acid/nonionic surfactant ratio is 0.0001 to 3.
At a weight ratio of 0.0001 or less, the stability is not sufficiently improved, and at a weight ratio of 3 or more, the pH of the shampoo composition is greatly lowered, to thereby affect the stability of the other surfactants.
Formulation Amount and Formulation Ratio
The preferable formulation amounts of the above-mentioned active ingredients are:
3 to 30 parts by weight of the taurine salt type anionic surfactant represented by (I);
3 to 30 parts by weight of the betaine type amphoteric surfactant represented by (II);
the formulation ratio (by weight) of (I):(II) being about 3:1 to about 1:2;
0.1 to 5 parts by weight of the nonionic surfactant with an HLB of 10 to 16 represented by (III);
0.1 to 5 parts by weight of the alkylolamide type nonionic surfactant and the semi-polar surfactant represented by (IV); and
0.001 to 3 parts by weight of the cationic high molecular weight compound represented by (V).
Preferably, (I)+(II)+(III)+(IV) are used in an amount of about 10 to 50 parts by weight of the total amount.
The present inventors found that, when the alkyloylalkyltaurine salt type anionic surfactant represented by the above (I) and the betaine type amphoteric surfactant represented by (II) are mixed at an appropriate formulation ratio, phenomena such as an elevation of the craft point, elevation of the viscosity, elevation of the pH, and lowering of the critical micelle concentration are observed, and thus estimated that a complex of the anionic surfactant and the amphoteric had been formed.
It has been found that, in this mixture, the surface active abilities such as foaming and washability are improved and are superior to those obtained by each individual component, and at the same time, the protein denaturation is markedly lowered compared with that of each individual component.
The adequate formation ratio (by weight) of (I):(II) is within the range of from about 3:1 to about 1:2, preferably as close to 1:1 as possible. When the mixing ratio is outside this range, or when the balance of the system is destroyed by an addition of a large amount of other anionic surfactants, a sufficient lowering of the protein denaturation ratio cannot be obtained.
The alkylolamide type nonionic surfactant and the semi-polar surfactant represented by (IV) to be used in the present invention have been formulated in the art in anionic surfactant type shampoos, to provide improved effects of an increased foaming, increased viscosity, and low temperature stability, and in the present invention, it has been found that a further lowering of the protein denaturation ratio occurs when (IV) is formulated in the above-mentioned mixture of (I) and (II). A preferable ratio (by weight) of (I) (II):(IV) is within the range of from about 15:1 to about 1:1 in terms of weight ratio. If (I)+(II) is more than this ratio, the lowering of protein denaturation ratio of (IV) is unsatisfactory, and if the amount of (IV) is too high, the washing power and foaming power required from the shampoo will be reduced. Preferably, (I)+(II)+(IV) comprise about 10 to about 50 parts by weight of the total liquid shampoo.
The nonionic surfactant with an HLB of 10 to 16 represented by (III) and used in the present invention, can be used in combination with the cationic high molecular weight compound represented by (V), which is formulated particularly for an enhancement of the useability of the shampoo compositions by an increase of the adsorption of the cationic high molecular compound onto the hair, and to provide a greater useability than that obtained when formulated into only other bases. Preferably, the formulation ratio is within the range of about 10:1 to about 1:2 of (III):(V), more preferably close to 2:1. If the mixing ratio is outside this range, the useability of the cationic high molecular weight compound is the same as that when it is used alone, and thus an increase of the amount adsorbed onto the hair cannot be obtained.
Other Components
If desired, the shampoo composition of the present invention can include components generally formulated in shampoos, for example, oily components such as higher alcohols, lanolin derivatives, protein derivatives or fatty acid esters of polyethylene glycols; humectant components such as propylene glycol, glycerine, and polyethylene glycols; water-soluble high molecular weight substances such as polyethylene oxide polypropylene oxide block polymers; and sequestering agents, preservatives, sterilizing agents, pH controllers, UV-ray absorbers, antioxidants, dyes and perfumes, etc.
As described above, the present inventors have created a low skin irritation effect conditioning shampoo having a low protein denaturation ratio, a good storability as a shampoo, a good useability when washing hair, a good finish after hair washing and drying, while maintaining the low skin irritation effect, by formulating a specific nonionic surfactant into a specific shampoo composition.

Hand Roughness Test Method
Each sample was tested by a panel of 10 members, 5 men and 5 women, who dipped either the left or right hand in an aqueous solution of a sample having a concentration of 5%, at a temperature of 35.degree. C., and the other hand in water at the same temperature, for 10 minutes twice a day, continuously for 2 days, and the difference in the skin roughening states of the left and right hands was judged by the naked eye.

Method of Measuring Amount of Dandruff Generated
Panel members, who usually used a general commercially available lauryl ether sulfate type shampoo (containing no medicament for dandruff and itchy scalp), were asked to wash their hair, at the same frequency as usual and by the same washing method as usual, 5 times while using a sample, and the amounts of dandruff before and after the use of the sample were compared. The amount of dandruff on the third day after washing with a general commercially available shampoo, and the amount of dandruff on the third day after the final day when hair was washed 5 times with the sample, were measured. Dandruff was collected by aspiration from the head, by an aspiration device equipped with a filter cloth, and the nitrogen amount was determined by the Kjeldahl method, to eliminate errors due to the presence of other foreign matter, and the average protein mass was determined by multiplying the measured value by 6.25, and was defined as the amount of dandruff (mg/head). Three panel members were used for each sample, and a comparison was made on the basis of average values.

Test Example 1: Effect of Addition of Nonionic Surfactant
A shampoo composition having the following formulation was prepared. A conventional preparation method was used.
In the above formulation, the formulated amount x of polyoxyethylene lauryl ether (nonionic surfactant), and the formulated amount y of poly(dimethylallylammonium chloride) (cationic high molecular weight compound) were successively varied, and the various characteristics thereof were examined.
The results are shown in the following Tables 1 (A) to (I).
As apparent from the Tables, when the cationic high molecular compound is not contained (A), or when contained in a very small amount (B), no great change occurs even if a nonionic surfactant is added.
Nevertheless, when a cationic high molecular compound is added in an amount of 0.01% or more, and further, a nonionic surfactant is added, great change in the useability occurs, depending on its amount added.
Namely, as apparent from the above Tables 1 (C) to (H), when a cationic high molecular weight compound is added in an amount of 0.01 to 3% by weight or more, an improvement of the useability can be recognized, and when a nonionic surfactant is added in an amount of 10-to 1/2-fold, relative to the above cationic high molecular weight compound, an improvement of the useability, due to the synergistic effect with the cationic high molecular weight compound, can be observed. Particularly, by an addition of a nonionic surfactant in an amount about 2-fold or more of the cationic high molecular weight compound, remarkable synergistic effects can be observed with respect to the useability during hair washing, and in the hair finish after hair drying.
From the results described above, a very specific synergistic effect of a cationic high molecular weight compound and a nonionic surfactant was confirmed, and it is clear that this synergistic effect is greatest at a ratio of a nonionic surfactant to a cationic high molecular weight compound of 10:1 to 1:2, particularly about 2:1.
Test Example 2: Effect of Addition of Organic Salt
A shampoo composition having the following formulation was prepared. A conventional preparation method was used.
In the above formulation, the amount x formulated of polyoxyethylene lauryl ether (nonionic surfactant), and the amount z formulated of citric acid (organic acid) were successively varied, and the various characteristics thereof were examined.
The results are shown in Tables 2 (A) to (G).
As apparent from the above Tables 2, the addition of an organic acid when a nonionic surfactant is not present (A) will not improve the stability.
Nevertheless, when 0.001 to 2% by weight of an organic acid is added, in the presence of a nonionic surfactant, the stability is improved. Particularly, a good improvement of the stability was observed at 0.01 to 1.5% by weight of organic acid/0.0001 to 3 of nonionic surfactant.
This suggests that the presence of the organic acid is closely related to the stability of nonionic surfactant, and that the nonionic surfactant will be separated and decomposed if the organic acid is not present.
At a level of 2% by weight or more of organic acid, the pH of the shampoo composition is lowered, and thus the stability of the other surfactants is adversely influenced.
Specific examples of the present invention are described as follows.
EXAMPLES 1-12
Shampoo compositions comprising the formulation compositions shown in the following Table 3 were prepared, and the foaming, washability, % protein denaturation, hand roughness, amount of dandruff generated, stability, useability during hair washing, and finish of hair after hair washing and drying, were examined. The results are shown in Table 3 (Examples of the present invention and Comparative Examples).

(* - 2) Merquat 550 (Merck), aqueous solution of about 8% pure component

As described above, according to the shampoo composition of the present invention, since a nonionic surfactant is contained together with a cationic high molecular weight compound, the adsorption of the above-mentioned cationic high molecular weight compound onto the hair is improved, whereby the useability of the shampoo composition is also improved.
Also, by containing an organic acid together with the above-mentioned nonionic surfactant, the stability of the nonionic surfactant can be greatly improved.
