Detergent compositions with enhanced depositing, conditioning and softness capabilities
View Patent ↗Novel “two-in-one” detergent compositions comprised of at least one water soluble silicone agent, at least one cationic conditioning agent, and a detergent. These compositions are suitable for use in shampoos, baths, and shower gels. Also described is a novel delivery system for depositing benefit agents into and onto the skin, nails, and/or hair comprised of at least one water soluble silicone and at least one cationic conditioning agent.
1. A method for treating acne comprising topically administering to a human or animal at a desired area a composition comprised of, based upon the total weight of the composition:
A. a delivery system comprised of
i.) at least one water soluble silicone agent;
ii) at least one cationic conditioning agent; and
B. an effective amount of an anti-acne active agent: wherein said water soluble silicone agent is selected from the group consisting of cetyl triethylmonium dimethicone copolyol phthalate, stearalkonium dimethicone copolyol phthalate, dimethicone copolyols having the following structure:
wherein:
q′ is an integer from about 1 to about 7000;
q″ is an integer from about 1 to about 5000;
R 9 is selected from the group consisting of:
(i) a fatty alcohol having from about 8 carbon atoms to about 30 carbon atoms;
(ii) a fatty acid having from about 8 carbon atoms to about 30 carbon atoms, and derivatives thereof;
(iii) a crosslinked water soluble polymer;
(iv) a cationic moiety
(v) propyl PG-Betaine; and
(vi) polypeptides;
dimethicone copolyol acetate, dimethicone copolyol lactate, dimethicone copolyol laurate, dimethicone copolyol methyl ether, dimethicone copolyol octyl dodecyl citrate, hydrolyzed soy protein/dimethicone copolyol acetate, dimethiconol, and mixtures thereof.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the anti-acne active agent is selected from imidazoles; retinoids; salicylic acid; benzoyl peroxide; antibiotics; antiandrogens; 5-alpha-reductase isotypes; anti-inflammatory agents; botanical extracts; or mixtures thereof.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the anti-acne active agent as retinol, elubiol, an antibiotic, salicylic acid or mixtures thereof.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein the anti-acne active agent is present in an amount, based upon the total weight of the composition, from about 0.01 percent to about 10 percent.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein said composition further comprises a detergent.
