Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for forming a high internal phase emulsion comprising the steps of combining a polyglyceryl fatty acid ester with water to create a structured external phase premix and combining the premix with an acrylates/dimethicone copolymer/methyl trimethicone to form a gelled emulsion.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method for forming a high internal phase emulsion comprising the steps of:
a) first, combining a polyglyceryl fatty acid ester with water to create a structured external phase premix; and b) second, combining said premix with an acrylates/dimethicone copolymer/methyl trimethicone to form a gelled emulsion.

2 . A method according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio of said acrylates/dimethicone copolymer/methyl trimethicone to said structured external phase is at least about 90:10.

3 . A method according to claim 2 , wherein the ratio of said acrylates/dimethicone copolymer/methyl trimethicone to said structured external phase is at least about 95:5.

4 . A method according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio of said polyglyceryl fatty acid ester to said water is about 1:1.

5 . A method according to claim 1 , wherein said high internal phase emulsion is a component of a personal care composition, wherein said personal care composition further comprises a surfactant and a conditioning agent.

6 . A method according to claim 5 , wherein said conditioning agent is selected from the group consisting of silicone oils, cationic silicones, silicone gums, high refractive silicones, organo-modified silicones, fluoro-modified silicones, silicone resins, hydrocarbon oils, polyolefins, fatty esters, and mixtures thereof.

7 . A method according to claim 5 , wherein said surfactant is selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, and amphoteric surfactants.

8 . A method according to claim 5 , wherein said personal care composition further comprises a cationic deposition polymer.

9 . A method according to claim 8 , wherein said cationic deposition polymer is selected from the group consisting of cellulose and guar cationic deposition polymers.

10 . A method according to claim 5 , wherein said personal care composition further comprises particles having an average particle size of less than about 300 μm.

11 . A method according to claim 10 , wherein said particles are selected from the group consisting of colloidal silicas, fumed silicas, precipitated silicas, silica gels, magnesium silicate, glass particles, talcs, micas, sericites, and clays.

12 . A method according to claim 5 , wherein said personal care composition further comprises one or more additional ingredients selected from the group consisting of synthetic cationic deposition polymers, anti-dandruff agents, suspending agents, paraffinic hydrocarbons, propellants, viscosity modifiers, dyes, non-volatile solvents, diluents, pearlescent aids, foam boosters, additional surfactants or nonionic cosurfactants, pediculocides, pH adjusting agents, perfumes, preservatives, chelants, proteins, skin active agents, sunscreens, UV absorbers, and vitamins

13 . A method according to claim 5 , wherein said high internal phase is present at a level of from about 1% to about 20% by weight of said personal care composition.
