Abstract

Hair and skin care compositions containing siloxane-based polyamides are disclosed, some of which utilize a base composition comprising a silicone fluid, a silicone immiscible substance, and a siloxane-based polyamide. The siloxane-based polyamide functions as a compatibilizing agent, film forming agent and durability enhancer in these hair and skin care compositions. A method of enhancing the fragrance longevity of fragrance containing skin care compositions after application is also disclosed.

Claims

1. A base composition comprising:

A) a silicone fluid,

B) a silicone immiscible organic substance,

C) a siloxane-based polyamide having the formula;

 

where,

(1) DP (degree of polymerization) is 1-700,

(2) n is 1-500,

(3) X is a linear or branched chain alkylene having 1-30 carbons,

(4) Y is a linear or branched chain alkylene having 1-40 carbons,

 

wherein,

(a) the alkylene group may optionally and additionally contain in the alkylene portion at least one of (i) 1-3 amide linkages;

(ii) a C5 or C6 cycloalkane;

or (iii) phenylene, optionally substituted by 1-3 members which are independently C1-C3 alkyls;

(b) the alkylene group itself may optionally be substituted by at least one of (i) hydroxy;

(ii) a C3-C₈ cycloalkane;

(iii) 1-3 members which are independently C1-C3 alkyls;

phenyl, optionally substituted by 1-3 members which are independently C1-C3 alkyls;

(iv) a C1-C3 alkyl hydroxy;

or (v) a C1-C6 alkyl amine;

(c) Y can be Z where Z is T(R²⁰)(R²¹)(R²²) where R²⁰, R²¹ and R²² are each independently linear or branched C1-C10 alkylenes; and

T is CR in which R is hydrogen, the group defined for R¹-R⁴, or a trivalent atom such as N, P and Al;

(5) each of R¹-R⁴ is independently methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, a siloxane chain, or phenyl, wherein the phenyl may optionally be substituted by 1-3 members, which are methyl or ethyl;

(6) X, Y, DP, and R¹-R⁴ may be the same or different for each polyamide unit, wherein the base composition is a stable dispersion.

2. The composition of claim 1 wherein the base composition is a clear solution.

3. The composition of claim 1 wherein the silicone fluid is a volatile methyl silicone.

4. The composition of claim 1 wherein the silicone fluid is a polydimethylsiloxane having a viscosity of 20 cs (mm/s²) or greater.

5. The base composition of claim 1 wherein the silicone fluid is a phenyl containing polysiloxane.

6. The composition of claim 1 wherein the silicone immiscible organic substance is an organic oil selected from esters, fatty alcohols, glycerides, hydrocarbons, and vegetable oils.

7. The composition of claim 1 wherein the silicone immiscible organic substance is a personal care ingredient selected from emollients, surfactants, emulsifiers, waxes, humectants, thickeners, and personal care actives.

8. The base composition of claim 1 further comprising

D) a silicone miscible solvent.

9. The base composition of claim 8 wherein the silicone miscible solvent is selected from volatile methyl siloxanes, low molecular weight alcohols, ethoxylated alcohols, propoxylated alcohols, and mixtures thereof.

20. A multiple phase emulsion comprising at least one oil phase containing the base composition of claim 1.

21. A water in silicone emulsion comprising at least one oil phase containing the base composition of claim 1.

22. A method for enhancing the fragrance longevity of a personal care composition comprising:

I) combining;

a) a fragrance

b) an organic solvent or silicone fluid,

c) a siloxane-based polyamide having the formula of claim 1 where the DP is 30 or greater

to form an oil phase,
