The Use of Anionic/Cationic Surfactant Complexes to Create Special Effects in Cosmetic Formulations …Paul Thau
O
ver twenty years ago, during a visit to a local pharmacy, I decided to evaluate a tester unit of the recently introduced Norwegian Daily Treatment Lotion for Dry Skin by Neutrogena. I was immediately impressed by the smooth, soft texture imparted to the skin by this product. The skin feel was very distinctive, somewhat similar to that imparted by a classic cationic emulsion system. A review of the ingredient labeling on this product, shown below, revealed an unusual composition—a cationic emulsifier in an anionic soap formulation: Water, Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Dimethicone, Octyldodecanol, Petrolatum, Cetyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Laurate, Stearic Acid, Stearyl Alcohol, Hydrogenated Lanolin, Triethanolamine, Fragrance, Dimethicone Copolyol, Methylparaben, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Steapyrium Chloride, Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate, Propylparaben, BHA, BHT, Sodium Sulfate.
One would not ordinarily expect to find a cationic ingredient such as Steapyrium Chloride included in a typical soap based, Triethanolamine Stearate, emulsion. That is because it was commonly thought, and taught, that cationic and anionic surfactants should not be combined because of the risk of incompatibility, including precipitation or instability. However, I did observe the listing of Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate immediately after Steapyrium Chloride on the ingredient labeling. Based upon my awareness that anionic/cationic polymers had been used effectively in the formulation of hair mousse foams, I decided to conduct a simple experiment. Equivalent molecular weights of Steapyrium Chloride (0.25%) and Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate (0.185%) were combined in deionized water. It was found that in spite of the interaction between these two oppositely charged surfactants, a clear, water-soluble complex at the concentrations listed above was produced. Procedure: Each surfactant was dissolved in water and heated to 70 ºC. The two solutions were then combined. After cooling to room temperature, no precipitation was evident. The pH of the resultant solution was 6.6. A prototype Triethanolamine Stearate skin treatment emulsion was prepared with the inclusion of the above anionic/cationic surfactant complex at a concentration of less that 0.50%. The skin feel aesthetics of this prototype emulsion did closely match that of the reference Neutrogena product. An interesting finding: Neutrogena continues to use the identified cationic/anionic complex in their currently marketed product, (Continued on page 6)

The board of directors of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists (SCC) has announced that it will host the 29th IFSCC Congress on Oct. 23–26, 2016, in Orlando, Florida, USA. The theme of the meeting is “Beyond Dreams into New Frontiers—Inspire, Imagine, Innovate,” and the event will be held at the Dolphin Hotel at the Walt Disney World Resort. The organizing committee for the event includes Guy Padulo (Kobo Products Inc.), Colleen Rocafort (BASF Corp.), and Amy Wyatt (Chanel Inc.), with Padulo chairing the committee, Rocafort chairing the exhibition, and Robert Lochhead, Ph.D., serving as honorary chair of the event. To help promote the event, the SCC will be using QR Code technology. This technology enables individuals to scan the QR code with their smart phones, tablets, and iPads and receive an informative message. So far, two QR Codes have been introduced, with more planned over the next two years. There will be general sessions, a poster session, an exhibition, and three social events. The Committee on Scientific Affairs will again be responsible for the scientific program including both podium and poster presentations. It is expected that the call for papers of both podium and poster presentations will see a record number of abstracts submitted. The 2016 congress organizing committee is currently soliciting sponsorships. The committee is also seeking companies interested in participating at the exhibition that will take place in conjunction with the congress. The Pacific Hall will again be the venue with 50,000 square feet of columnless space. More information on the congress will be forthcoming including a call for papers, the exhibitor prospectus, and the launch of the event's website.

Molecular structure of Steapyrium Chloride.
Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Intensive Moisture Wrap Body Treatment. Ingredient labeling is as follows: Water, Glycerin, Capric/Caprylic Stearic Triglyceride, Dimethicone, Cetearyl Alcohol, Petrolatum, Octyldodecanol, Stearic Acid, Glyceryl Laurate, Stearyl Alcohol, Hydrogenated Lanolin, Triethanolamine, Silicone Polyether Copolymer, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Steapyrium Chloride, Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate, Sodium Sulfate, BHT. (BHA and Fragrance have been removed from the original formula.) Concluding remarks In recent years, many studies have shown that not only is it possible to combine cationic and anionic surfactants, but that this combination has the potential to provide synergistic properties.1 The availability of a limited number of commercial formulations containing anionic and cationic surfactants or polymers has confirmed that these mixtures can provide unique properties when used properly. Additional examples of product categories that employ anionic/cationic complexes are hair care products and denture adhesives.2,3 References 1. G.
