Abstract

The disclosure relates to methods of reducing static on hair or a cloth material, reducing hair frizz and/or increasing shine on hair by wiping the hair or cloth material with a dry wipe product. The dry wipe product comprises a flexible substrate having a first side and a second side; and either an anhydrous composition, or an aqueous composition, disposed over the first and/or second side(s) of the flexible substrate. When hair or cloth material is wiped with a side of the dry wipe product having the anhydrous composition or the aqueous composition disposed thereon, the anhydrous composition or aqueous composition is transferred from the flexible substrate of the dry wipe product to the hair or cloth material. The anhydrous compositions and aqueous compositions of the instant disclosure reduce static on hair and/or cloth, reduce hair frizz and/or increase shine on hair. The dry wipe products of the instant disclosure are particularly beneficial for hair care because they are dry, portable, disposable, may be biodegradable, and comprise compositions that are safe for personal use.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A dry wipe product consisting of:
a. a flexible substrate having a first side and a second side; and
b. an anhydrous composition disposed on the first and/or second side(s) of the flexible substrate, the anhydrous composition consisting of:
i. from about 5 wt. % to about 15 wt. % ozokerite;
ii. from greater than 0 wt. % to about 50 wt. % of a fatty ester obtained from a linear or branched chain, saturated, or unsaturated alcohol having from 1 to 24 carbon atoms and a linear or branched chain fatty acid having from 3 to 24 carbon atoms;
iii. from about 15 wt. % to about 35 wt. % of an ester oil selected from the group consisting of a mono-, di- or tri-ester of glycerol;
iv. a second wax;
v. one or more natural oils and/or natural butters;
vi. optionally, one or more polyols;
vii. optionally, one or more solid fatty alcohols;
viii. optionally, one or more amidoamines;
ix. optionally, one or more emulsifiers;
x. optionally, one or more conditioning agents; and
xi. optionally, one or more fragrances.

2. The dry wipe product of claim 1 , wherein the second wax is beeswax.

3. The dry wipe product according to claim 1 , wherein the fatty ester is isopropyl palmitate and the ester oil is caprylic/capric triglyceride.

4. The dry wipe product according to claim 1 , wherein the second wax is bayberry wax, jasmine wax, mimosa wax, beeswax, candelilla, carnauba, ceresin, cetyl esters, hydrogenated jojoba oil, hydrogenated jojoba wax, hydrogenated microcrystalline wax, hydrogenated rice bran wax, japan wax, jojoba butter, jojoba esters, jojoba wax, lanolin wax, microcrystalline wax, mink wax, montan acid wax, montan wax, ouricury wax, paraffin, PEG-6 beeswax, PEG-8 beeswax, rice bran wax, shellac wax, spent grain wax, sulfurized jojoba oil, synthetic beeswax, synthetic candelilla wax, synthetic carnauba wax, synthetic japan wax, synthetic jojoba oil, ethylene homo- or copolymers, stearoxy dimethicone, dimethicone behenate, stearyl dimethicone, synthetic homo- and copolymer waxes, or a mixture thereof.

5. The dry wipe product according to claim 1 , wherein the anhydrous composition, the flexible substrate or both is or are biodegradable.

6. The dry wipe product of claim 1 , wherein the fatty ester is isopropyl palmitate.

7. The dry wipe product of claim 1 , wherein the ester oil is a glyceride fatty ester derived from peanut oil, sesame oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, cocoa butter, almond oil, safflower oil, corn oil, cotton seed oil, castor oil, hydrogenated castor oil, olive oil, jojoba oil, palm oil, soybean oil, wheat germ oil, linseed oil, or sunflower seed.

8. The dry wipe product of claim 1 , wherein the ester oil is caprylic/capric triglyceride.

9. The dry wipe product of claim 1 , wherein the flexible substrate is a wood fiber sheet.

10. The dry wipe product according to claim 1 , wherein the natural oil is camellina oil, maringa oil, argan oil, lavendar oil, sweet almond oil, avocado oil, castor oil, olive oil, jojoba oil, sunflower oil, wheatgerm oil, sesame oil, groundnut oil, grapeseed oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, safflower oil, coconut oil, corn oil, hazelnut oil, shea butter, palm oil, apricot kernel oil, or beauty-leaf oil.

11. The dry wipe product according to claim 1 , wherein the anhydrous composition incorporates the one or more fragrances.

12. The dry wipe product according to claim 1 , wherein the anhydrous composition incorporates the one or more conditioning agents.

13. The dry wipe product according to claim 1 , wherein the fatty ester is dicaprylyl carbonate.

14. The dry wipe product according to claim 1 , wherein the fatty ester diisopropyl adipate.

15. The dry wipe product according to claim 1 , wherein the fatty ester is isopropyl palmitate, dicaprylyl carbonate, and diisopropyl adipate.
