Abstract
Hair care compositions comprise a water-soluble polyalkylene glycol having a number average molecular weight of from about 200 to about 900 and from about 4 to about 18 repeating alkylene oxide radicals, wherein each of the repeating alkylene oxide radicals has from 2 to 6 carbon atoms; a film forming polymer is soluble in the polyalkylene glycol, wherein the weight ratio of the polyalkylene glycol to the film forming polymer ranges from about 5:1 to about 50:1; and a liquid carrier. The hair care compositions optionally further comprise a non-volatile silicone with a molecular weight greater than about 40,000 daltons.
Claims19
A hair care composition comprising:
- a) a water-soluble polyalkylene glycol having a average molecular weight of from about 200 to about 900 and from about 4 to about 18 repeating alkylene oxide radicals, wherein each of the repeating alkylene oxide radicals has from 2 to 6 carbon atoms;
- b) a film forming polymer, wherein the film forming polymer is soluble in the polyalkylene glycol and wherein the weight ratio of the polyalkylene glycol to the film forming polymer ranges from about 5:1 to about 50:1;
- and
- c) a liquid carrier wherein the liquid carrier is selected from the group consisting of water, C1-C6 alkanols, mono- or dialkyl ethers of diethylene glycol, or mixtures thereof.
A hair care composition comprising:
- a) from about 5% to about 20%, by weight of the composition, of a water-soluble polyalkylene glycol having a average molecular weight of from about 200 to about 900 and from about 4 to about 18 repeating alkylene oxide radicals, wherein each of the repeating alkylene oxide radicals has from 2 to 6 carbon atoms;
- b) a film forming polymer, wherein the film forming polymer is soluble in the polyalkylene glycol and wherein the weight ratio of the polyalkylene glycol to the film forming polymer ranges from about 5:1 to about 50:1;
- and
- c) a liquid carrier selected from the group consisting of water, C1-C6 alkanols, mono- or dialkyl ethers of diethylene glycol, or mixtures thereof.
A hair care composition comprising:
- a) from about 5% to about 12%, by weight of the composition, of a water-soluble polyalkylene glycol having a average molecular weight of from about 200 to about 900 and from about 4 to about 18 repeating alkylene oxide radicals, wherein each of the repeating alkylene oxide radicals has from 2 to 6 carbon atoms;
- b) from about 0.25% to about 1.5%, by weight of the composition, of a film forming polymer, wherein the film forming polymer is soluble in the polyalkylene glycol and wherein the weight ratio of the polyalkylene glycol to the film forming polymer ranges from about 10:1 to about 40:1;
- and
- c) from about 85% to about 95%, by weight, of a liquid carrier wherein the liquid carrier is selected from the group consisting of water, C1-C6 alkanols, mono- or dialkyl ethers of diethylene glycol, or mixtures thereof.
A hair care composition comprising:
- a) from about 5% to about 12%, by weight of the composition, of a water-soluble polyalkylene glycol having a average molecular weight of from about 200 to about 900 and from about 4 to about 18 repeating alkylene oxide radicals, wherein each of the repeating alkylene oxide radicals has from 2 to 6 carbon atoms;
- b) from about 0.25% to about 1.5%, by weight of the composition, of a film forming polymer, wherein the film forming polymer is soluble in the polyalkylene glycol and wherein the weight ratio of the polyalkylene glycol to the film forming polymer ranges from about 10:1 to about 40:1;
- c) from about 85% to about 95%, by weight of the composition, of a liquid carrier wherein the liquid carrier is selected from the group consisting of water, C1-C6 alkanols, mono- or dialkyl ethers of diethylene glycol, or mixtures thereof;
- and
