Abstract

Personal care compositions and cleansing products including a silicone reactive amino containing dimethicone copolyol are disclosed herein. The compositions and products provide an enhanced wiping experience including improved softness and smooth afterfeel. Further, wipe products including the silicone reactive amino containing dimethicone copolyol provide improved drape of the basesheet, as well as provide a smooth wiping experience with the right amount of glide and a non-tacky afterfeel.

Claims (24)

1. A cleansing product comprising a substrate and a silicone reactive amino containing dimethicone copolyol having the formula:

wherein a is an integer ranging from 5 to 500 and b is an integer ranging from 1 to 100.

2. The cleansing product of claim 1 wherein a is an integer ranging from 100 to 450.

3. The cleansing product of claim 2 wherein b is an integer ranging from 2 to 10.

4. The cleansing product of claim 1 comprising from about 0.05% by weight to about 50% by weight silicone reactive amino containing dimethicone copolyol.

5. The cleansing product of claim 1 comprising from about 0.01% by weight to about 25% by weight silicone reactive amino containing dimethicone copolyol.

6. The cleansing product of claim 1 wherein the substrate is a nonwoven substrate.

7. The cleansing product of claim 1 wherein the substrate is a woven substrate.

8. A wet wipe comprising a substrate and a wetting solution comprising a silicone reactive amino containing dimethicone copolyol having the formula:

wherein a is an integer ranging from 5 to 500 and b is an integer ranging from 1 to 100.

9. The wet wipe of claim 8 wherein a is an integer ranging from 100 to 450.

10. The wet wipe of claim 9 wherein b is an integer ranging from 2 to 10.

11. The wet wipe of claim 8 wherein the wetting solution comprises from about 0.05% by weight to about 50% by weight silicone reactive amino containing dimethicone copolyol.

12. The wet wipe of claim 8 wherein the wetting solution comprises from about 0.01% by weight to about 25% by weight silicone reactive amino containing dimethicone copolyol.

13. The wet wipe of claim 8 wherein the wetting solution further comprises one or more electrolytes.

14. The wet wipe of claim 13 wherein the electrolyte is selected from the group consisting of sodium chloride, sodium bromide, potassium chloride, ammonium chloride, ammonium sulfate, zinc chloride, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, magnesium sulfate, sodium nitrate, sodium methyl sulfate, and combinations thereof.

15. The wet wipe of claim 8 wherein the wetting solution further comprises a surfactant selected from the group consisting of nonionic surfactants, anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, zwitterionic surfactants, and combinations thereof in an amount of from about 0.01% by weight to about 60% by weight surfactant.

16. The wet wipe of claim 8 wherein the wetting solution further comprises a skin benefit ingredient selected from the group consisting of emollients, surfactants, fragrances, preservatives, organic or inorganic acids, chelating agents, pH buffers, medicaments, antimicrobials, or combinations thereof.

17. The wet wipe of claim 8 wherein the substrate is a fibrous material having a strength of at least 300 g/in and a dispersibility of no more than 100 g/in.

18. A personal care composition for imparting a perceivable aesthetic feel to skin, the composition comprising a carrier and from about 0.01% by weight to about 99.9% by weight of a silicone reactive amino containing dimethicone copolyol having the formula:

wherein a is an integer ranging from 5 to 500 and b is an integer ranging from 1 to 100.

19. The composition of claim 18 wherein a is an integer ranging from 100 to 450, and b is an integer ranging from 2 to 10.

20. The composition of claim 18 wherein the carrier is selected from the group consisting of water, glycol, lower chain alcohol, glycerin and glycerin derivatives, natural oils, synthetic oils, silicone derivatives, and combinations thereof.

21. The wet wipe of claim 8 wherein the wet wipe is a flushable moist wipe comprising a binder composition comprising a triggerable polymer.
