Abstract
Cosmetic compositions comprising water, at least one estolide ester compound of Formula (3) wherein n is from 1 to 10, preferably from 2 to 8, and R is selected from branched or linear C3-20-alkyl, and B) optionally at least one surfactant component B, C) optionally at least one thickener component C, D) optionally at least one hair conditioning component D, and E) optionally at least one further component E, different to A to D, can be used for improved hair treatment.
Claims20
A cosmetic composition comprising water,
- A) at least one estolide ester compound having the Formula (3) as component A:
- wherein
- n is from 1 to 10, and
- R is selected from the group consisting of branched or linear C3-20-alkyl,
- B) optionally at least one surfactant as component B,
- C) optionally at least one thickener as component C,
- D) optionally at least one hair conditioning as component D, and
- E) optionally at least one further component E, different to components A to D,
- with the proviso that the cosmetic composition contains at least one component B or at least one component D.
A process for preparing a cosmetic composition, in particular a hair shampoo and/or conditioning composition, comprising the step of mixing
- at least one compound of Formula (3)
- wherein
- n is from 1 to 10, and
- R is selected from the group consisting of branched or linear C3-20-alkyl, and water and at least one further surfactant component B or a hair conditioning component D, and optionally further components, a thickener component C and/or optionally a further component E, different to components A to D.
A method of treating the hair, comprising the steps of applying a hair shampoo and/or conditioning composition onto wet hair, lathering and removing said shampoo and/or conditioning composition from the hair, wherein the hair shampoo and/or conditioning composition comprises at least one estolide compound of Formula (3)
- wherein
- n is from 1 to 10, and
- R is selected from the group consisting of branched or linear C3-20-alkyl, optionally a surfactant component B, optionally a thickener component C, optionally a hair conditioning component D, and optionally a further component E, different to components A to D, with the proviso that the shampoo and/or conditioning composition contains at least one component B or at least one component D.
A method of treating the hair, comprising the steps of applying a leave-on conditioning composition onto dry or wet hair, wherein the leave-on conditioning composition comprises at least one estolide ester compound of Formula (3)
- wherein
- n is from 1 to 10, and
- R is selected from the group consisting of branched or linear C3-20-alkyl, optionally a surfactant component B, optionally a thickener component C, at least one hair conditioning component D, and optionally a further component E, different to components A to D,
- and
- b) if necessary drying the hair,
- wherein said a leave-on conditioning composition is applied to the hair on a daily to weekly basis.
