Abstract:
The present invention is directed a shampoo composition for hair frizz reduction comprising from about 0.1% to about 20% of a moisture control material or mixture of moisture control materials wherein the moisture control material is selected from one or more of the following:Class II having the structure selected from:a)wherein R is hydrogen or metal ion, Ris methyl, ethyl, propyl, alkenyl or phenyl having less than 12 carbon atoms and wherein R, R, R, R, R, Rare hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, propyl, phenyl, hydroxyl, methoxy or ethoxy groups;b)an alcohol wherein R13 is an alkyl, alkenyl, straight or branched carbon chains and; and wherein R14 is hydrogen, hydroxyl, alkyl, methyl, ethyl and propyl wherein the structure of such alcohol contains less than 20 total carbon atoms;c) alcohol comprising an unsaturated double bond in the C2 position.d) an alkyl-substituted glycol wherein the structure of such alkyl substituted glycol contains less than 20 carbon atoms;e) a monoalkyl or dialkyl substituted glycerin or mono- or di-esters of glycerin with fatty acids wherein the structure of such monoalkyl- or dialkyl-substituted glycerin or glycerin esters contains less than 20 total carbon atoms;f)wherein Rcould be hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, phenyl group and wherein the structure of the Rgroup contain less than 20 carbon atoms;g) a fatty acid ester containing from 15-40 total carbon atomsand wherein the moisture control material of Class II is weakly to non-acidic and further wherein the moisture control material of Class II has protein binding higher than 10 and molecular volume lower than 1500 and log P higher than 0.5 and pKa of 5 or higher and hydrogen-binding higher than 4.
