7.Description:
(en)The present invention is related to an aqueous cleansing composition especially for keratin fibres such as human hair with shine enhancing effect.
Cleansing compositions have been known for many years. Many patent applications and scientific publications deal with such compositions aiming at cleansing and especially improving conditioning effects wherein shine enhancing of human hair has gained particular attention. Although this, there is still need for improvement.
Hair shine improvement has been one of the main areas of development. Hair shine is very much related to the surface structure of hair and this varies very much with the degree of damage either by environmental effects or chemical treatment of hair such as permanent shaping or oxidative colouring. Although consumers with healthy non-damaged hair are generally satisfied with hair shine, shine of damaged hair is usually found to be unsatisfactory. There have been studies aiming improving shine of especially damaged hair.
Present inventors have surprisingly found out that a cleansing composition comprising one or more surfactants and a colour effect pigment of synthetic mica coated with metal oxide or oxides cleanses hair thoroughly and improves shine and conditions hair excellently in terms of combability, elasticity, smoothness and softness.
“Accordingly the subject of the present invention is an aqueous cleansing composition especially for keratin fibers such as human hair comprising one or more surfactant selected from anionic, non-ionic and amphoteric ones at a concentration of 5 to 50% by weight calculated to total composition, wherein the composition does not comprise any monoethanolamide surfactant, and at least one color effect pigment consisting of synthetic mica coated with metal oxide or oxides and having a volume particle size distribution in the range of 1 to 750 μm at a concentration of 0.01 to 10% by weight, calculated to total composition.”

More specifically subject matter of the present invention is an aqueous cleansing composition especially for keratin fibers such as human hair comprising one or more surfactant selected from anionic, non-ionic and amphoteric ones at a concentration of 5 to 50% by weight calculated to total composition, wherein the composition does not comprise any monoethanolamide surfactant, and at least one color effect pigment consisting of synthetic mica coated with metal oxide or oxides and having a volume particle size distribution in the range of 1 to 750 μm at a concentration of 0.01 to 10% by weight, calculated to total composition.
7.Description:
(en)The present invention is related to an aqueous cleansing composition especially for keratin fibres such as human hair with shine enhancing effect.
Cleansing compositions have been known for many years. Many patent applications and scientific publications deal with such compositions aiming at cleansing and especially improving conditioning effects wherein shine enhancing of human hair has gained particular attention. Although this, there is still need for improvement.
Hair shine improvement has been one of the main areas of development. Hair shine is very much related to the surface structure of hair and this varies very much with the degree of damage either by environmental effects or chemical treatment of hair such as permanent shaping or oxidative colouring. Although consumers with healthy non-damaged hair are generally satisfied with hair shine, shine of damaged hair is usually found to be unsatisfactory. There have been studies aiming improving shine of especially damaged hair.
Present inventors have surprisingly found out that a cleansing composition comprising one or more surfactants and a colour effect pigment of synthetic mica coated with metal oxide or oxides cleanses hair thoroughly and improves shine and conditions hair excellently in terms of combability, elasticity, smoothness and softness.
“Accordingly the subject of the present invention is an aqueous cleansing composition especially for keratin fibers such as human hair comprising one or more surfactant selected from anionic, non-ionic and amphoteric ones at a concentration of 5 to 50% by weight calculated to total composition, wherein the composition does not comprise any monoethanolamide surfactant, and at least one color effect pigment consisting of synthetic mica coated with metal oxide or oxides and having a volume particle size distribution in the range of 1 to 750 μm at a concentration of 0.01 to 10% by weight, calculated to total composition.”
Use of synthetic mica coated with metal oxide or oxides mainly in decorative cosmetics is disclosed in an international patent application of Sun Chemical Corporation published with a number WO 2005/065632 A1.

Afterwards, Synthetic fluorphologopite dispersed in small portion of water was added and preservative and fragrance was mixed. Finally pH was adjusted.
The performance of example was compared to the comparative composition in a half side test with 10 volunteers. Hair of the volunteer was divided into 2 and washed with example 1 and comparative composition using according to hair length 4 to 6 g of the product. After rinsing both sides were evaluated by at least 2 hair dressers and by the volunteer in towel dried and dry state. It was found that the side washed with example 1 had more elasticity, more volume and body and especially significantly more shine. The preference was generally 8 to 2 and for shine 10/0.
