Abstract

Abstract A liquid shampoo composition which possesses an excellent foaming power and in which a water-insoluble finely divided powder can be dispersed in a stable condition, in which a stabilizer selected from the group consisting of lower alcohols, glycols and alkanolamines is incorporated in a liquid shampoo composition containing an ammonium salt or an organic amine salt of an anionic surfactant, an ammonium salt or an organic amine salt of water-soluble polyacrylic acid, as principal ingredients, and also containing a fatty acid alkanolamide.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 186 words
A liquid shampoo composition having an excellent foaming power and containing a water-insoluble powder dispersed therein in a stable condition, consisting essentially of: from 5 to 30 wt. % of ammonium salt, monoethanolamine salt, diethanolamine salt, triethanolamine salt or 2-amino-2-methylpropane-1,3-diol salt of anionic, synthetic, organic surfactant effective for shampooing hair; from 0.1 to 1.0 wt. % of water-soluble carboxy vinyl polymer; from 1 to 10 wt. % of a fatty acid alkanolamide having from 10 to 14 carbon atoms in the fatty acid moiety; from 1 to 20 wt. % of a stabilizer selected from the group consisting of alkyl monohydric alcohols having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, glycols having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, monoethanolamine, diethanolamine and triethanolamine; from 0.001 to 5 wt. % of water-insoluble, finely divided powder selected from the group consisting of water-insoluble pigments for shampoos, water-insoluble pearlescent agents for shampoos, water-insoluble hair or scalp-treating medicaments for shampoos and water-insoluble germicides for shampoos; said composition containing an amount of ammonia or an alkanolamine sufficient to maintain the composition at a pH of from 6 to 8; and the balance is essentially water.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 186 words
A liquid shampoo composition having an excellent foaming power and containing a water-insoluble powder dispersed therein in a stable condition, consisting essentially of: from 5 to 30 wt. % of ammonium salt, monoethanolamine salt, diethanolamine salt, triethanolamine salt or 2-amino-2-methylpropane-1,3-diol salt of anionic, synthetic, organic surfactant effective for shampooing hair; from 0.1 to 1.0 wt. % of water-soluble carboxy vinyl polymer; from 1 to 10 wt. % of a fatty acid alkanolamide having from 10 to 14 carbon atoms in the fatty acid moiety; from 1 to 20 wt. % of a stabilizer selected from the group consisting of alkyl monohydric alcohols having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, glycols having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, monoethanolamine, diethanolamine and triethanolamine; from 0.001 to 5 wt. % of water-insoluble, finely divided powder selected from the group consisting of water-insoluble pigments for shampoos, water-insoluble pearlescent agents for shampoos, water-insoluble hair or scalp-treating medicaments for shampoos and water-insoluble germicides for shampoos; said composition containing an amount of ammonia or an alkanolamine sufficient to maintain the composition at a pH of from 6 to 8; and the balance is essentially water.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 51 words
A liquid shampoo as claimed in claim 1, containing from 10 to 20 wt. % of said anionic surfactant, from 0.4 to 0.6 wt. % of said carboxy vinyl polymer; from 3 to 5 wt. % of said fatty acid alkanolamide; and from 3 to 10 wt. % of said stabilizer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 94 words
A liquid shampoo according to claim 1 or claim 2 in which said anionic surfactant is an ammonium, monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, or 2-amino-2-methylpropane-1,3-diol salt of alkyl sulfate having 8 to 22 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, polyoxyethylene (1 to 10 moles) alkyl ether sulfate having 8 to 22 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, polyoxyethylene (1 to 10 moles) alkylphenyl ether sulfate having 8 to 12 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, olefin sulfonate having 8 to 22 carbon atoms or alkylbenzene sulfonate having 9 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl group.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 69 words
A liquid shampoo as claimed in claim 3 in which said stabilizer is selected from the group consisting of methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, hexylene glycol, monoethanolamine, diethanolamine and triethanolamine, and said water-insoluble powder is selected from the group consisting of calcium carbonate, barium carbonate, titanium dioxide, Hansa Yellow, crushed rock, talc, bismuth oxychloride, mica, fish scales and zinc pyrithione.
