PATENT DESCRIPTION |
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Antibacterial agents have been placed into cleansing compositions for many years. However, not all antibacterial agents are active or present stable entities in specific cleansing compositions. Some antibacterial agents are easier to stabilize and maintain activity in solid compositions. Other antibacterial agents more readily maintain activity and stability in liquid cleansing compositions. Antibacterial agents of the carbanilide family are well known to be difficult to solubilize and also to stabilize in liquid systems, particularly aqueous liquid systems. The most well known of these carbanilide antibacterial agents is triclocarban. A composition which has easily solubilizable carbanilide antibacterial effective amounts and which is also stable has now been discovered. The system is aqueous. The system remains preferably clear as shown by the appropriately solubilized carbanilide antibacterial agent. The solubilization can be done at room temperature. The composition remains stable for extended periods of time. The carbanilide antibacterial agent is deposited on the skin as an antibacterial active agent. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In accordance with the invention there is an aqueous liquid composition comprising a) an anionic surfactant in cleansing effective quantities, b) a primary ethoxylated alcohol of the structure R(OCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2).sub.n OH wherein R is an alkyl of about 10 to about 14 carbon atoms and n is an average number of 6 to 10 in carbanilide stabilizing and solubilizing effective quantities, c) a carbanilide antibacterial agent present in an antibacterial effective amount but no more than about 2 wt. % of the composition, the quantity of component c being in a weight ratio to component b of about 1 to about 6 to about 1 to about 15, and d) the balance being water. Additionally, there is a composition which comprises from about 6 to about 14 wt. % carbanilide active agent, and the remainder being R(OCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2).sub.n OH wherein R is an alkyl of about 10 to 14 carbon atoms, inclusive, and n is an average number of about 6 to 10. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Any anionic surfactant can be employed. Examples of such anionic surfactants include soap, a long chain alkyl or alkenyl, branched or normal carboxylic acid salt such as sodium, potassium, ammonium or substituted ammonium salt, can be present in the composition. Exemplary of long chain alkyl or alkenyl are from about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms in length, specifically about 10 to about 20 carbon atoms in length, more specifically alkyl and most specifically normal, or normal with little branching. Small quantities of olefinic bond(s) may be present in the predominantly alkyl sections, particularly if the source of the "alkyl" group is obtained from a natural product such as tallow, coconut oil and the like. Anionic nonsoap surfactants can be exemplified by the alkali metal salts of organic sulfate having in their molecular structure an alkyl radical containing from about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms and a sulfonic acid or sulfuric acid ester radical (included in the term alkyl is the alkyl portion of higher acyl radicals). Preferred are the sodium, ammonium, potassium or triethanolamine alkyl sulfates, especially those obtained by sulfating the higher alcohols (C.sub.8 -C.sub.18 carbon atoms), sodium coconut oil fatty acid monoglyceride sulfates and sulfonates; sodium or potassium salts of sulfuric acid esters of the reaction product of 1 mole of a higher fatty alcohol (e.g., tallow or coconut oil alcohols) and 1 to 12 moles of ethylene oxide; sodium or potassium salts of alkyl phenol ethylene oxide ether sulfate with 1 to 10 units of ethylene oxide per molecule and in which the alkyl radicals contain from 8 to 12 carbon atoms, sodium alkyl glyceryl ether sulfonates; the reaction product of fatty acids having from 10 to 22 carbon atoms esterified with isethionic acid and neutralized with sodium hydroxide; water soluble salts of condensation products of fatty acids with sarcosine; and others known in the art for example taurates, phosphate, and those listed in the Mr. Cutcheon's Encyclopedia of Surfactants. Although not necessary other surfactants may be present in the composition. Examples of these surfactants include zwitterionic surfactants can be exemplified by those which can be broadly described as derivatives of aliphatic quaternary ammonium, phosphonium, and sulfonium compounds, in which the aliphatic radicals can be straight chain or branched and wherein one of the aliphatic substituents contains from about 8 to 18 carbon atoms and one contains an anionic water-solubilizing group, e.g., carboxy, sulfonate, sulfate, phosphate, or phosphonate. A general formula for these compounds is: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.2 contains an alkyl, alkenyl, or hydroxy alkyl radical of from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms, from 0 to about 10 ethylene oxide moieties and from 0 to I glyceryl moiety; Y is selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur atoms; R.sup.3 is an alkyl or monohydroxyalkyl group containing 1 to about 3 carbon atoms; X is I when Y is a sulfur atom and 2 when Y is a nitrogen or phosphorus atom, R.sup.4 is an alkylene or hydroxyalkylene of from 0 to about 4 carbon atoms and Z is a radical selected from the group consisting of carboxylate, sulfonate, sulfate, phosphonate, and phosphate groups. Examples include: 4-[N,N-di(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-octadecylammonio]-butane-1-carboxylate; 5-[S-3-hydroxypropyl-S-hexadecylsulfonio] -3 hydroxypentane-1-sulfate; 3-[P,P-P-diethyl-P 3,6,9 trioxatetradecyl- phosphonio]-2-hydroxypropane-1-phosphate; 3-[N,N-dipropyl-N-3 dodecoxy-2-hydroxypropylammonio]-propane-1-phosphonate; 3-(N,N-di- methyl-N-hexadecylammonio) propane-1-sulfonate; 3-(N,N-dimethyl-N-hexadecylammonio)-2-hydroxypropane-1-sulfonate; 4-(N,N-di(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-(2 hydroxydodecyl) ammonio]-butane-1-carboxylate; 3-[S-ethyl-S-(3-dodecoxy-2-hydroxypropyl)sulfonio]-propane-1-phosphate; 3-(P,P-dimethyl-P-dodecylphosphonio)-propane-1-phosphonate; and 5-[N,N-di(3-hydroxypropyl)-N-hexadecylammonio]-2-hydroxy-pentane-1-sulfate . Examples of amphoteric surfactants which can be used in the compositions of the present invention are those which can be broadly described as derivatives of aliphatic secondary and tertiary amines in which the aliphatic radical can be straight chain or branched and wherein one of the aliphatic substituents contains from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms and one contains an anionic water solubilizing group, e.g., carboxy, sulfonate, sulfate, phosphate, or phosphonate. Examples of compounds falling within this definition are sodium 3-dodecylaminopropionate, sodium 3-dodecylaminopropane sulfonate, N-alkyltaurines, such as the one prepared by reacting dodecylamine with sodium isethionate according to the teaching of U.S. Pat. No. 2,658,072, N-higher alkyl aspartic acids, such as those produced according to the teaching of U.S. Pat. No. 2,438,091, and the products sold under the trade name "Miranol" and described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,528,378. Other amphoterics such as betaines are also useful in the present composition. Examples of betaines useful herein include the high alkyl betaines such as coco dimethyl carboxymethyl betaine, lauryl dimethyl carboxy-methyl betaine, lauryl dimethyl alpha-carboxyethyl betaine, cetyl dimethyl carboxymethyl betaine, lauryl bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)carboxy methyl betaine, stearyl bis-(2-hydroxypropyl) carboxymethyl betaine, oleyl dimethyl gamma-carboxypropyl betaine, lauryl bis-(2-hydro-xypropyl) alpha-carboxyethyl betaine, etc. The sulfobetaines may be represented by coco dimethyl sulfopropyl betaine, stearyl dimethyl sulfopropyl betaine, amido betaines, amidosulfobetaines, and the like. Many cationic surfactants are known to the art. By way of example, the following may be mentioned: stearyldimenthylbenzyl ammonium chloride; dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride; nonylbenzylethyldimethyl ammonium nitrate; tetradecylpyridinium bromide; laurylpyridinium chloride; cetylpyridinium chloride laurylpyridinium chloride; laurylisoquinolium bromide; ditallow(Hydrogenated)dimethyl ammonium chloride; dilauryldimethyl ammonium chloride; and stearalkonium chloride. Additional cationic surfactants are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,303,543 see column 4, lines 58 and column 5, lines 1-42, incorporated herein by references. Also see CTFA Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary 4th Edition 1991, pages 509-514 for various long chain alkyl cationic surfactants; incorporated herein by references. Nonionic surfactants can be broadly defined as compounds produced by the condensation of alkylene oxide groups (hydrophilic in nature) with an organic hydrophobic compound, which may be aliphatic or alkyl aromatic in nature. Examples of preferred classes of nonionic surfactants are: 1. The polyethylene oxide condensates of alkyl phenols, e.g., the condensation products of alkyl phenols having an alkyl group containing from about 6 to 12 carbon atoms in either a straight chain or branched chain configuration, with ethylene oxide, the said ethylene oxide being present in amounts equal to 10 to 60 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of alkyl phenol. The alkyl substituent in such compounds may be derived from polymerized propylene, diisobutylene, octane, or nonane, for example. 2. Those derived from the condensation of ethylene oxide with the product resulting from the reaction of propylene oxide and ethylene diamine products which may be varied in composition depending upon the balance between the hydrophobic and hydrophilic elements which is desired. For example, compounds containing from about 40% to about 80% polyoxyethylene by weight and having a molecular weight of from about 5,000 to about 11,000 resulting from the reaction of ethylene oxide groups with a hydrophobic base constituted of the reaction product of ethylene diamine and excess propylene oxide, said base having a molecular weight of the order of 2,500 to 3,000, are satisfactory. 3. The condensation product of aliphatic alcohols having from 8 to 18 carbon atoms, in either straight chain or branched chain configuration with ethylene oxide, e.g., a coconut alcohol ethylene oxide condensate having from 10 to 30 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of coconut alcohol, the coconut alcohol fraction having from 10 to 14 carbon atoms. Other ethylene oxide condensation products are ethoxylated fatty acid esters of polyhydric alcohols (e.g., Tween 20-polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate). 4. Long chain tertiary amine oxides corresponding to the following general formula: R.sub.1 R.sub.2 R.sub.3 N.fwdarw.0 wherein R.sub.1 contains an alkyl alkenyl or monohydroxy alkyl radical of from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms, from 0 to about 10 ethylene oxide moieties, and from 0 to 1 glyceryl moiety, and, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 contain from 1 to about 3 carbon atoms and from 0 to about 1 hydroxy group, e.g., methyl, ethyl, propyl, hydroxy ethyl, or hydroxy propyl radicals. The arrow in the formula is a conventional representation of a semipolar bond. Examples of amine oxides suitable for use in this invention include dimethyldodecylamine oxide, oleyl-di(2-hydroxyethyl) amine oxide, dimethyloctylamine oxide, dimethyldecylamine oxide, dimethyltetradecylamine oxide, 3,6,9 trioxaheptadecyldiethylamine oxide, di(2-hydroxyethyl)-tetradecylamine oxide, 2-dodecoxyethyldimethylanine oxide, 3-dodecoxy-2-hydroxypropyldi(3-hydroxypropyl)amine oxide, dimethylhexadecylamine oxide. 5. Long chain tertiary phosphine oxides corresponding to the following general formula: RR'R"P.fwdarw.0 wherein R contains an alkyl alkenyl or monohydroxyalkyl radical ranging from 8 to 20 carbon atoms in chain length, from 0 to about 10 ethylene oxide moieties and from 0 to 1 glyceryl moiety and R' and R" are each alkyl or monohydroxyalkyl groups containing from 1 to 3 carbon atoms. The arrow in the formula is a conventional representation of a semipolar bond. Examples of suitable phosphine oxides are: dodecyldimethylphosphine oxide, tetradecylmethylethylphosphine oxide, 3,6,9-trioxaoctadecyldimethylphosphine oxide, cetyldimethylphosphine oxide, 3-dodecoxy-2-hydroxypropyldi(2-hydroxyethyl) phosphine oxide stearyldimethylphosphine oxide, cetylethyl propylphosphine oxide, oleyldiethylphosphine oxide, dodecyldiethylphosphine oxide, tetradecyldiethylphosphine oxide, dodecyldipropylphosphine oxide, dodecyldi(hydroxymethyl)phosphine oxide, dodecyldi(2-hydroxyethyl)phosphine oxide, tetradecylmethyl-2-hydroxypropylphosphine oxide, oleyldimethylphosphine oxide, 2-hydroxydodecyldimethylphosphine oxide. 6. Long chain dialkyl sulfoxides containing one short chain alkyl or hydroxy alkyl radical of 1 to about 3 carbon atoms (usually methyl) and one long hydrophobic chain which contain alkyl, alkenyl, hydroxy alkyl, or keto alkyl radicals containing from about 8 to about 20 carbon atoms, from 0 to about 10 ethylene oxide moieties and from 0 to 1 glyceryl moiety. Examples include: octadecyl methyl sulfoxide, 2-ketotridecyl methyl sulfoxide, 3,6,9-trioxaoctadecyl 2-hydroxyethyl sulfoxide, dodecyl methyl sulfoxide, oleyl 3-hydroxypropyl sulfoxide, tetradecyl methyl sulfoxide, 3 methoxytridecylmethyl sulfoxide, 3-hydroxytridecyl methyl sulfoxide, 3-hydroxy-4dodecoxybutyl methyl sulfoxide. Present in the composition should be a carbanilide antibacterial agent in an effective amount to bring about antibacterial action. Examples of the carbanilide antibacterial family include various diphenylanilide preferably having halo substituent(s) on the ring, see Colwell, U.S. Pat. No. 5,496,555. Particularly preferred is the antibacterial carbanilide well known as triclocarban, CAS #101-20-2. Triclocarban is also known as n-(4-chlorophenyl)-n(3,4-dichlorophenyl) urea. Its more trivial name is 3,4,4 -trichlorocarbanilide. It has now been found that these antibacterial agents, particularly trichlorocarban, can be effectively solubilized and stabilized in an aqueous liquid cleansing composition through the use of a compound of the structure R(OCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2).sub.n OH wherein R is an alkyl of about 10 to about 14 carbon atoms and n is an average number of about 6 to 10. Preferably R is 12 carbon atoms and n is the average number 7 or 9. When using these long-chain ethoxylated primary alcohols, particularly lauryl alcohol with 7 or 9 average ethoxy groups therein, and more particularly the lauryl alcohol with 7 average ethoxy groups, the carbanilide antibacterial agent can be effectively solubilized. This can be done at room temperature. Although no additional heat is necessary, temperature up to about 50.degree. C. can hasten the solubilization. This is contrary to most of the other potential solubilizing agents which require heating to 90.degree. C. or even higher in some cases. Additionally, the clarity of the aqueous cleansing composition can be preferably maintained and the viscosity of the cleansing composition is also maintainable within the desired range of centipoise. Generally, this desired viscosity is one that will allow for easy pouring or hand pumping of the cleansing composition from a container. The viscosity range in centipoise (cps) is generally from about 2000 to about 15,000 as measured on a Brookfield RVTD viscometer using a spindle 5 at room temperature and 20 rpms. Interestingly the viscosity can vary depending upon the number of the ethoxy groups present in the lauryl alcohol. Laureth 9 provides a viscosity of approximately about 700 cps to about 2,000 when present in the finished cleansing composition. This cps can be readily raised through the addition of known thickeners such as salts, polyacrylamides and the like, preferably table salt. However, laureth 7 provides a higher viscosity initially and when used in the overall composition, provides a viscosity of about 3000 to about 7000 cps depending upon the quantity of laureth 7 employed. If a lower viscosity for the final composition is required, this can be readily obtained by adding a viscosity reducing agent such as block polymers of polyoxyethene and polyoxypropylene known as Poloxamers. Poloxamer 184 is preferred. The quantity of viscosity reducing agent employed is dependent upon the final desired viscosity. The quantity of the long-chain ethoxylated alcohol necessary to bring about the solubilization and stabilization of the antibacterial agent is generally from about 6 times to about 15 times the wt. % of the antibacterial agent employed preferably about 7 to about 12 times. With respect to the carbanilide antibacterial agents, particularly triclocarban, the quantity of antibacterial agent should not exceed 2 wt. % of the cleansing composition and is generally from about 0.1 to about 1.5 wt. % of the cleasing composition preferably about 0.15 to about 1.0 wt. %. The wt. % for the long-chain primary ethoxylated alcohol employed is generally from about 0.6 to about 12 wt. % of the cleansing composition, although somewhat larger amounts of the alcohol can be employed. With respect to the other components of the cleansing composition, the major quantity of the composition is water. The anionic surfactant or mixtures thereof can be present in quantities from about 3 wt. % to about 30 wt. % of the cleansing composition. Other minimum quantities such as 4, 5, 6, 8 or 10 wt. % can be employed; maximal quantities of about 15, 20 or 25 wt. % can also be employed. The quantity of the surfactant should be sufficient to bring about a lather and cleanse skin when applied under appropriate lathering conditions. Although not necessary, a clear composition can be obtained. Other surfactants may also be present, generally the betaine and nonionic surfactants are preferred. The betaines can belong to any of the general betaine family as understood by definitions in the Cosmetic Toiletry and Fragrance Association Ingredient Dictionary (CTFA, 4th Edition). Generally the milder betaines are preferred such as the long-chain amido betaines, particularly cocoamidoethyl and cocoamidopropyl betaine. The quantity of betaine which can be present is generally from about 1 to about 12 wt. % of the composition, preferably from about 2 to about 10 wt. % of the composition. Additionally, it is preferred to use certain non-ionic surfactants other than the long-chain ethoxylated alcohols mentioned as component b of the claim. The most preferred of these are the alkylpolyglycoside commonly known as APGs. These materials are present in the composition from about 0.5 to about 10 wt. % preferably from about 0.75 to about 8 wt. % of the composition. Examples of such preferred APGs are decylpolyglycoside, laurylpolyglycoside, each with an average dp of about 1 to about 3, preferably about 1.4 to about 1.8. Other materials may also be in the composition, for example, materials which would give good skin feel such as the polyquaterniums particularly polyquats 6 and 7 as defined in the above-noted CTFA ingredient dictionary. Antioxidants, preservatives, fragrances and the like may also be present. Generally the clarity of the inventive compositions is measured prior to the addition of these agents. Some of these agents may be sufficiently insoluble in the composition so as to create a potential hazy composition particularly fragrances, occlusive agents, pearlescents, and the like. Additionally, a hazy, translucent or even opaque composition can be desired for marketing purposes. Various potential solubilizing materials for the carbanilides have been tried with these systems. As can be shown by the listing of these reagents and the observed results, see below, the positive attributes of the long-chain primary ethoxylated alcohol are highly unusual The "weight ratio" of Table 1 is the weight of solubilizing agent employed to the weight of TCC. The temperature is that necessary to bring about the solubilization of the TCC in the solubilizing agent in a reasonable time period when only the two components are together. In Table 1 below, the viscosity observation refers to the usage of the "solubilized" triclocarbanilide (TCC) in the overall composition of Example 1 and is the measured viscosity of Example 1 at 25.degree. C. using a Brookfield viscometer with a number 5 spindle at 20 rpm. The clarity reported in Table 1 refers to Example 1 composition using 0.5 wt. % TCC with the particular solubilizing agent from Table 1 added to the formulation at the weight ratio to TCC shown in Table 1. Any quantity differences are made up by the percent of water present in the Example 1 composition.
