Personal care compositions with ethylene acrylic acid copolymer aqueous dispersions
View Patent ↗Described are personal care compositions, comprising an aqueous dispersion comprising an ethylene acrylic acid copolymer and a least one cosmetically acceptable surfactant, emollient, or cosmetic active.
1. A personal care composition, comprising:
an aqueous dispersion comprising an ethylene acrylic acid copolymer, said aqueous dispersion being present in the personal care composition in an amount from about 0.25 wt % to about 5 wt % by weight of the composition; and
about 7 wt % to about 18 wt %, by weight of the composition, of a detergent surfactant,
wherein the personal care composition is a shampoo, a rinse-off conditioner, a leave-in conditioner, or a body wash; and
wherein the ethylene acrylic acid copolymer is present in a range from about 10 wt % to about 30 wt % by weight of the aqueous dispersion.
2. The personal care composition of claim 1 , provided that the personal care composition is not an emulsion.
3. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein the aqueous dispersion comprises at least one anti-dandruff active, sunscreen active, pigment, fragrance, botanical, amino acid, or vitamin.
4. A personal care composition, comprising:
an aqueous dispersion comprising an ethylene acrylic acid copolymer and a metallocene catalyzed polyolefin, said aqueous dispersion being about 30 wt % to about 50 wt % solids; and
at least one cosmetically acceptable surfactant, emollient, or cosmetic active,
wherein the personal care composition is a shampoo, a rinse-off conditioner,
a leave-in conditioner, or a body wash; and
wherein the ethylene acrylic acid copolymer is present in a range from about 1 wt % to about 25 wt % by weight of the aqueous dispersion.
5. The personal care composition of claim 4 , wherein the metallocene catalyzed polyolefin comprises at least one of ethylene/octene copolymers, ethylene/butene copolymers, ethylene/hexene copolymers, ethylene/propylene or ethylene/butene/hexene terpolymers.
6. The personal care composition of claim 4 , wherein the ethylene acrylic acid copolymer and metallocene catalyzed polyolefin is in a polymer ratio of about 40:60 to about 15:85.
7. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein the aqueous dispersion is present in a range from about 0.05 wt % to about 10 wt %.
8. The personal care composition of claim 1 , further comprising a silicone, provided that the silicone is not in the aqueous dispersion.
9. The personal care composition of claim 4 , wherein the surfactant is present and is a detergent surfactant.
10. The personal care composition of claim 4 , wherein the surfactant is present and is a nonionic surfactant.
