Abstract

The present invention relates to a personal care composition. The personal care composition comprises a surfactant phase. The surfactant phase comprises a surfactant of about 3% to about 12%, by weight of the personal care composition and a co-surfactant of about 4% or less by weight of the personal care composition. The surfactant includes sodium trideceth sulfate. The surfactant phase further comprises a structuring system. The structuring system comprises about 0.05% to about 5%, by weight of the personal care composition, of a crosslinked associative polymer and an electrolyte. The crosslinked associative polymer comprises a hydrophobic modification of less than 10% and can be hydrophobically modified with greater than a C6 alkyl. The personal care composition further comprises a benefit phase comprising a hydrophobic benefit material of about 1% to about 50%, by weight of the personal care composition.

Claims (37)

1. A personal care composition comprising:

a surfactant phase comprising:

about 3% to about 12%, by weight of the personal care composition, of a surfactant, the surfactant comprising sodium trideceth sulfate;

about 4% or less, by weight of the personal care composition, of a co-surfactant;

a structuring system comprising:

about 0.05% to about 0.2%, by weight of the personal care composition, of an associative polymer comprising an acrylate/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer;

an electrolyte; and

a benefit phase comprising about 1% to about 50%, by weight of the personal care composition, of a hydrophobic benefit material.

2. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein the co-surfactant comprises an amphoteric surfactant, a zwitterionic surfactant, or a mixture thereof.

3. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein the structuring system further comprises a non-ionic emulsifier.

4. The personal care composition of claim 3 , wherein the personal care composition comprises about 0.1% to about 10%, by weight of the personal care composition, of the non-ionic emulsifier.

5. The personal care composition of claim 3 , wherein the nonionic emulsifier comprises glyceryl monohydroxystearate, isosteareth-2, trideceth-3, hydroxystearic acid, propylene glycol stearate, PEG-2 stearate, sorbitan monostearate, glyceryl laurate, laureth-2, cocamide monoethanolamine, lauramide monoethanolamine, or a mixture thereof.

6. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein said personal care composition comprises about 0.1% to about 6%, by weight of the personal care composition, of the electrolyte.

7. The personal care composition of claim 6 , wherein the electrolyte comprises an anion comprising phosphate, chloride, sulfate, citrate, or a mixture thereof; and a cation comprising sodium, ammonium, potassium, magnesium, or a mixture thereof.

8. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein the associative polymer comprises acidic monomers and associative monomers having hydrophobic end groups.

9. The personal care composition of claim 8 , wherein the acidic monomers are selected from a group consisting of: sulfate, sulfonate, carboxylate, phosphonate, phosphate, and mixtures thereof.

10. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein the personal care composition comprises a Young's Modulus of greater than 100.

11. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein the personal care composition comprises a zero shear viscosity of about 3000 or greater.

12. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein the hydrophobic benefit material is selected from a group consisting of: soy bean oil, sunflower seed oil, petrolatum, glycerol monooleate, mineral oil, cylceryl mono-oleate, and dimethicone.

13. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein the personal care composition is substantially free of sodium laureth sulfate.

14. A personal care composition comprising:

a surfactant phase comprising:

about 3% to about 12%, by weight of the personal care composition, of a surfactant, the surfactant comprising sodium trideceth sulfate;

about 4% or less, by weight of the personal care composition, of a co-surfactant;

a structuring system comprising:

about 0.05% to about 0.2%, by weight of the personal care composition, of a crosslinked associative polymer, the crosslinked associative polymer comprising a hydrophobic modification of less than 2%, and the crosslinked associative polymer comprising a C-16 to C-22 alkyl hydrophobic side chain;

an electrolyte; and

a benefit phase comprising about 1% to about 50%, by weight of the personal care composition, of a hydrophobic benefit material.

15. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein the associative polymer has a hydrophobic modification of about 10% or less.

16. A personal care composition, comprising:

a surfactant phase comprising from about 3% to about 16%, by weight of the personal care composition, of a lathering surfactant;

a structuring system comprising from about 0.05% to about 5%, by weight of the personal care composition, of an associative polymer comprising Aqupec SER-300, Aqupec SER-150, Aqupec HV-701EDR, or a combination thereof; and from about 0.1% to about 6%, by weight of the personal care composition, of an electrolyte; and

a benefit phase comprising from about 1% to about 50%, by weight of the personal care composition, of a benefit material.

17. The personal care composition of claim 16 , wherein the structuring system further comprises from about 0.1% to about 10%, by weight of the oral care composition, of a non-ionic emulsifier.

18. The personal care composition of claim 17 , wherein the lathering surfactant comprises sodium trideceth sulfate.

19. The personal care composition of claim 18 , wherein the non-ionic surfactant comprises trideceth-3.

20. The personal care composition of claim 19 , wherein the benefit material comprises petrolatum.
