Abstract

Provided are low-irritation personal care compositions comprising a low-DP polymerized surfactants. Also provided are methods of making and using such compositions.

Claims (26)

1. A personal care composition comprising a low-DP polymerized surfactant having a PMOD % of about 90% or less.

2. The personal care composition of claim 1 wherein said low-DP polymerized surfactant has a PMOD % of about 80% or less.

3. The personal care composition of claim 1 wherein said low-DP polymerized surfactant has a PMOD % of about 50% or less.

4. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein said personal care composition has a TEP value of about 3.5 or greater.

5. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein said personal care composition has a TEP value of at least about of 5 or greater.

6. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein said personal care composition has a CMID % of less than about 50%.

7. The personal care composition of claim 1 wherein said low-DP polymerized surfactant comprises from about 10 to about 1000 amphiphilic repeat units on a weight average basis.

8. The personal care composition of claim 1 wherein said low-DP polymerized surfactant comprises from about 20 to about 500 amphiphilic repeat units on a weight average basis.

9. The personal care composition of claim 1 wherein said low-DP polymerized surfactant includes amphiphilic repeat units having a hydrophobe comprising at least 7 carbon atoms.

10. The personal care composition of claim 1 wherein said low-DP polymerized surfactant comprises a polymer having a backbone that substantially comprises a plurality of carbon-carbon bonds, wherein said polymer is selected from the group consisting of EUACs, EUAHs, and PPDAs.

11. The personal care composition of claim 10 wherein said low-DP polymerized surfactant is a PPDA polymer.

12. The personal care composition of claim 11 wherein said low-DP polymerized surfactant is selected from the group consisting of octadecene/maleic anhydride copolymers, tetradecene/maleic anhydride copolymers, and derivatives thereof.

13. The personal care composition of claim 10 wherein said low-DP polymerized surfactant is a EUAC or EUAH polymer.

14. The personal care composition of claim 13 wherein said low-DP polymerized surfactant is selected from the group consisting of Poly (sodium allyldodecylsulfosuccinate), Poly(acrylic acid co-2-acrylamideododecylsulfonic acid), and Poly (sodium allyldodecyl sulfosuccinate-co-acrylic acid).

15. The personal care composition of claim 1 wherein said low-DP polymerized surfactant comprises a polymer having a backbone that substantially comprises a plurality of carbon-heteroatom bonds.

16. The personal care composition of claim 15 wherein said low-DP polymerized surfactant is a polysaccharide.

17. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein said composition further comprises at least one monomeric surfactant.

18. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein said composition further comprises at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting on anionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, and combinations of two or more thereof.

19. The personal care composition of claim 18 , wherein said at least one surfactant comprises a betaine.

20. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein said personal care composition is a cleanser.

21. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein said personal care composition is a cleanser for skin, hair, and/or the vaginal region.

22. A personal care composition comprising a low-DP polymerized surfactant selected from the group consisting of carbon-carbon bond EUAC, EUAH, and PPDA polymers, said polymerized surfactant having a PMOD % of about 90% or less and from about 7 to about 2,000 amphiphilic repeat units, said personal care composition having a CMID % of less than about 90%.

23. The personal care composition of claim 22 having a CMID % of less than about 50%.

24. The personal care composition of claim 22 further comprising a surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, and combinations of two or more thereof.

25. The personal care composition of claim 22 further comprising a betaine.

26. The personal care composition of claim 15 wherein said low-DP polymerized surfactant is an SGA.
