Abstract

Abstract A composition of matter comprising a metal pyrethione salt, an amine having the following formula H.sub.x N((CH.sub.2).sub.y X).sub.z wherein x is 0 to 2, y is 1 to 3, z is 1 to 3, x+z=3 and X is H, OH or COOH and an aminocarboxylic acid selected from the group consisting of ethylenediaminetetraaceteic acid, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, nitrilotriacetic acid, N(hydroxide ethyl) ethylenediaminetriacetic acid, cyclohexanediamine tetracetic acid, triethanolamine ethylenediamine tetracetic acid and acids having the formulas: ##STR1## where X is H, lithium, sodium, potassium, cesium, magnesium, calcium, nickel, copper, zinc and mixtures thereof. A is H or COOX and n is an integer or zero.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 194 words
A method for solubilizing an amount effective for the treatment of seborrhea of a metal pyrithione salt in a shampoo composition, comprising: (a) mixing the metal pyrithione salt with an amine having the following formula: H.sub.x N[ (CH.sub.2).sub.y X].sub.z wherein x is 0 to 2, y is 1 to 3, z is 1 to 3, x+z=3 and X is H, OH or COOH, until the product of (a) is clear; (b) mixing a cosmetically effective amount of a polycarboxylic acid selected from the group consisting of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid, nitrilotriacetic acid, cyclohexanediamine tetraacetic acid, triethanolamine ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid and acids having the formula: ##STR4## where X is H, lithium, sodium, potassium, cesium, magnesium, calcium, nickel, copper, zinc and mixtures thereof, A is H or COOX, and n is an integer or 0, with water and ammonium hydroxide, (c) slowly adding the product of (b) to the product of (a), and; (d) adding from about 10 to 70 weight percent of a surfactant selected from the group consisting of ammonium lauryl sulfate, ammonium lauryl ether sulfate, and mixtures thereof, whereby the composition has a pH of from about 4 to 7.4.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 194 words
A method for solubilizing an amount effective for the treatment of seborrhea of a metal pyrithione salt in a shampoo composition, comprising: (a) mixing the metal pyrithione salt with an amine having the following formula: H.sub.x N[ (CH.sub.2).sub.y X].sub.z wherein x is 0 to 2, y is 1 to 3, z is 1 to 3, x+z=3 and X is H, OH or COOH, until the product of (a) is clear; (b) mixing a cosmetically effective amount of a polycarboxylic acid selected from the group consisting of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid, nitrilotriacetic acid, cyclohexanediamine tetraacetic acid, triethanolamine ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid and acids having the formula: ##STR4## where X is H, lithium, sodium, potassium, cesium, magnesium, calcium, nickel, copper, zinc and mixtures thereof, A is H or COOX, and n is an integer or 0, with water and ammonium hydroxide, (c) slowly adding the product of (b) to the product of (a), and; (d) adding from about 10 to 70 weight percent of a surfactant selected from the group consisting of ammonium lauryl sulfate, ammonium lauryl ether sulfate, and mixtures thereof, whereby the composition has a pH of from about 4 to 7.4.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 86 words
The method of claim 1, further including mixing an cosmetically effective amount of an alcohol selected from the group consisting of methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, butanol, propanol, diols and triols having an aliphatic chain length of 2 to 4 carbon atoms with these units repeating two to three times, ethylene oxide/propylene oxide block copolymers of molecular weight less than 1000, homopolymers of ethylene oxide or propylene oxide of molecular weight less than 1000, thiodiglycol, hexahydric alcohols, dissacharides, alkylphenol ethoxylates and mixtures thereof, with the product of (a).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 73 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said mixture comprises about 0.1 to 20 percent by weight of said metal pyrithione, about 0.1 to 60 percent by weight amine, about 0.5 to 20 percent polycarboxylic acid, 0 to 85 percent by weight water, 0.1 to 20 percent by weight ammonium hydroxide and from about 10 to 70 weight percent surfactant, wherein the weight ratio of metal pyrithione to amine is about 1:3 to 1:1.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 26 words
The method of claim 3, further including up to about 70 percent alcohol, wherein the weight ratio of alcohol to amine is about 2:1 to 1:1.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 20 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the weight ratio of metal pyrithione salt to amine is about 1:3 to 1:1.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 22 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said metal pyrithione salt is zinc pyrithione and wherein said polycarboxylic acid is ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid.
