Composition and Function: Hair conditioners are products which are used to restore manageability, gloss, and soft texture to dry hair or to hair that has been damaged by bleaching, dyeing, permanent waving or straightening. The basic components of conditioners are lanolin or lanolin derivatives. They are used at levels of 1% to 10%. Combinations of lanolin and polyoxyethylene esters have excellent capacity for moisture retention. Cream rinse products are hair conditioners that are applied to the hair immediately after shampooing to help remove dull detergent film from the hair and to make it manageable, shiny, and softer to the touch. Cream rinse products are usually dispersions of quaternary ammonium compounds, opacified if necessary with a water dispersible surfactant or an emulsion of mineral oil or a fatty alcohol. About 1% to 5% quaternary ammonium compound is used. Both hair conditioners and cream rinses may be formulated to contain proteins. Cream rinses in addition may include antidandruff compounds and temporary dyes. Formulation: FORESTALL™ Soyaethyl morpholinium ethosulfate offers a dual functionality unlike any other hair care ingredient. First, it is a unique deodorizer. FORESTALL actually neutralizes various malodors by forming a complex with them. FORESTALL is also a highly effective cationic hair conditioner which reduces static fly-away and leaves hair soft, shiny and manageable. It improves wet combability and does not build up with frequent use. FORESTALL is water soluble and compatible with anionics generally used in shampoos. Since FORESTALL is water soluble,
it is an excellent choice for clear hair rinses. In the basic formula shown
below, hydroxyethyl cellulose is used as a thickener.
Preparation: Prepare (A) in advance by dispersing hydroxyethyl cellulose in water to yield a 3% solution. Prepare solution (B) Add (B) to (A) with stirring until homogeneous. FORESTALL can also be used
effectively in an opacified "cream rinse" lotion like the one shown below.
Preparation: Heat to 70°C with stirring
until uniform. Cool with stirring and add make-up water at 50°C.
Preparation: Heat (A) to 70°C and (B) to 72°C. Add (B) to (A) with moderate agitation. Cool while agitating to 40°C. Replace water lost by evaporation and package. Formula HC-11 demonstrates
the use of FORESTALL in a surfactant gel which would be a good hair dressing.
The formula is a clear (microemulsion), "ringing" gel.
Preparation: Heat (A) and (B) to 90°C. Add (B) to (A) with gentle stirring. Cool to 80°C and add make-up water. Stir until uniform, and pour while still fluid. A prototype styling/conditioning
mousse is shown in Formula HC-12. It includes FORESTALL as a conditioner,
a silicone copolymer to improve wet combing and polymeric resin for setting.
Preparation: Heat (A) to 70°C with stirring until uniform. Cool to 40°C. Add (A) to (B) with stirring. Pack in suitable aerosol containers and pressurize with (C) at room temperature. CAUTION: Ethanol is very flammable! |
