The level of technology

People all over the world are using (products) personal hygiene, such as soap and detergents, which generally leads to the fact that in the environment with wastewater every day gets a huge amount of these materials. Among the products used for personal hygiene, classic Soaps, namely, salts of fatty acids, for various reasons, are no longer the preferred compositions. For example, it is believed that Soaps are relatively aggressive, rude or irritating the skin and eyes, they are not easy to prepare in the form preferred for the consumer compositions, such as gels, they do not light or do not leave the feeling of clean skin after application, especially when the water to wash contains impurities, such as ions, and are not particularly good carriers for delivering agents that have beneficial effects, such as odorants. Especially bad soap are in hard water, forming ions such as ions of Ca, Mg, Mn and Fe, insoluble precipitates, which are very difficult to wash.

On the basis of chemical substances, different from the classic soap, we developed a lot of songs, and most of them include surfactants of various types, also known as synthetic detergents, which are used to solubilize the Mac is l and other pollutants, helping them to rinse with skin in the shower or bath. Widely used composition for personal hygiene, prepared from surfactants, other than salts of fatty acids, which promote good pricing, improve the user's perception of agents that have beneficial effects, such as odorants, have a mild effect on the skin and make nice washing process.

However, many, if not all, of these industrial personal hygiene products contain surface-active substances (surfactants, detergents such as anionic surfactants (detergents)that can be harmful to aquatic organisms, especially in high concentrations, and are prominent components of wastewater, launchable from the premises all over the world. Some of these surfactants (detergents) have a low Biodegradability and, therefore, resistant to the environment. Perfumes (fragrances) (as a rule, chemical mixtures, also called essential oils) are an example of another component of many personal care products that may have poor Biodegradability and can have toxic effects on aquatic organisms exposed to wastewater containing residues of aromatic compounds. The Pris is the effect of these components in selling personal care products leads to the descent of treated or untreated wastewater, containing at least some of the components in streams, rivers, oceans and groundwater, sometimes with disastrous consequences.

The presence of surfactants such as anionic surfactants, and aromatic oils in the re-entry of treated wastewater can be harmful to aquatic organisms in the receiving waters. This effect is more pronounced at higher concentrations of pollutants in the wastewater. The types of organisms that can be affected include useful microorganisms, invertebrates and vertebrates, useful algae and higher plants. Also, if fresh water, where are such wastewater want to use as drinking water, the presence of such contaminants may hinder the efforts required to obtain drinking water. See, for example, the document entitled "Environmental and Health Assessment of Substances in Household Detergents and Cosmetic Detergent Products," Torben Madsen et al., Danish Environmental Protection Agency, Centre for Integrated Environment and Toxicology (CETOX), Environmental Project No. 615, 2001, at http://www2.mst.dk/udgiv/Publications/2001/87-7944-596-9/pdf/87-7944-597-7 .pdf.

The toxicity of aqueous and personal requirements for clean water cause growing concern due to the growing world population and increasing consumption per capita. Many indicator species, such as amphibians, like frogs and salamanders (tailed amphibians), during the last few decades there is a dangerous decrease in populations. Sensitive skin of such animals may be especially sensitive to the effects of surfactants, which uses people in their natural habitat (water). It is also known that surfactants cause problems with waterfowl, removing the natural fat of bird with feathers and making them prone to hypothermia. When the feathers are wet due to the flushing of surface-active substances (surfactants) natural protective skin fat, these birds also impaired the ability to fly. Due to the action of surfactants on the cell membrane pollution they cause a threat to various aquatic invertebrates. On the populations of oysters influence of surfactants falling within the coastal environment from sewage treatment facilities. The presence of surfactants, apparently, causes damage to populations of less conspicuous species, such as insect larvae and single-celled animals.

However, surfactants are extremely widely used among the population for washing and bathing. Frequent bathing and hand washing, etc. is vital to maintaining the health of the population, reducing the spread of pathological organisms and preventing epidemics. Generally people like to be clean and appreciate the purity of other people. Therefore, the use of compositions containing surfactants, are likely to continue. Therefore, it is desirable to develop a cleaning composition for the primary hygiene (wash, personal use)that is acceptable to consumers, but to reduce their impact on the environment when you hit it with the waste water, such as water for washing. Reducing human impact on the ecosystems in which people live, you can improve environmental sustainability without losing valuable and extremely important to the quality of life.

"Gel" in this description may be fluid so that it can be poured from a plastic bottle, pressing her hand, and includes a liquid with a viscosity higher than the viscosity of water.

A means of personal hygiene according to the invention may, but need not necessarily, be Packed in a bottle or in a container for reusable; also included packaging for the consumer in the form of capsules, soft containers (packages), tubes, plastic push feeders, reciprocating feeders, and other types of consumer packaging. In some embodiments of the invention the cleaning gel can be dosed (pour) in any way, used for dispensing flowable compositions for washing. A hygiene product according to this description can also be used to wash children or elderly people who cannot bathemselves,or for bathing Pets, such as dogs or horses.

The term "composition" according to this description, in relation to the composition of this invention or to control the composition, referred to as the specified mixture comprising water, packaged for use and used by the user for cleaning. Accordingly, when in this description to say about the "amount" of the composition, this acknowledgement is given to the quantity, weight or volume, of the composition, which supposedly uses, including water for dilution of the active ingredients. Thus, the "amount" of the composition according to the invention, which has reduced the "content" or "percentage" anionic surfactants compared to the equivalent "amount" control composition, in fact, contains a smaller absolute number of anionic surfactants, although the number of tracks equivalent.

The terms "standard composition" or "control composition" in this description means the composition of the cleansing gel (gel bath), used for comparison with the composition according to the invention in regard to the properties and parameters. Standard or control composition similar variant compositions according to the invention except that it contains a relatively high concentration or has a relatively high content of anionic surfactants or mixtures of anionic surfactants and aroma is practical oils, and it contains no derivative hydroxyalkenals with long-chain alkyl group.

"Surfactant," "surfactant", as is well known in the prior art, means a chemical composition, molecular structure, which has the property to reduce the interfacial surface tension between water and a water-insoluble substances, such as oils or fats. Surfactants can also be effective when suspendirovanie in water solid materials, such as dirt particles. Such substances are also known as "amphiphilic materials," because their molecules provide great education, possessing both hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, which allows them to interact with water and with not miscible with water substances at the interface.

The term "anionic surfactant, surfactant" in this description refers to a surfactant that contains one or more molecular groups that carry a negative electrical charge. Anionic surfactants may contain such a group as sulfate, or phosphate, or carboxyl in anionic form, i.e. existing in aqueous solution at neutral or close to neutral pH in the ionic form. Anionic surfactants also contains a hydrophobic group associated covalent bond with a group (fragment), bearing a negative charge. In affect, the, the term anionic surfactants according to this description includes the alkyl sulphates, sulfonates, carboxylates and the like, with a long alkyl chain. An example is dodecyl sulphate. Another example is sodium Laureth sulphate, i.e. the sulfonated gidroksietilirovanny the dodecanol.. Another example is acylcarnitines (salt of N-(long chain alkanoyl), N-methylglycine). As for the surfactant, anionic surfactants may be called "anionic detergents."

The term "zwitterionic surfactants" ("zwitterionic detergent") according to this description, refers to a surfactant, in which the molecular particle contains both positive and negative electric charge generated in the molecular particles associated covalent bond with a lipophilic group (fragment). Various zwitterionic surfactants contain "betaine", i.e. a group containing carboxyl group (anionic) and Quaternary ammonium group (cationic). An example is cocamidopropylbetaine, i.e. amide of a fatty acid linked through the group with the group of N,N-dimethylglycine so that the nitrogen atom in glycine is Quaternary (cation).

The term "non-ionic surfactants (nonionic detergent)" is a surfactant that does not contain groups ionized in water at neutral or close to neutral pH value, however, are amphipatic containing as limes is a multidisciplinary, and hydrophilic fragments. Examples are esters of fatty acids and Sugars, in which the hydroxyl group of Sugars form a hydrophilic fragment.

"Aromatic oil" or "aromatic compounds", as a rule, are a complex mixture of many molecular components, usually liquid at room temperature, although some of the individual starting materials can be solid at room temperature (mixture) imparts desirable or attractive smell, such as mixtures, are well known in the prior art. Such materials are also referred to as "perfumes, aromatic substances," 'fragrant substances," "essential oils," "SW", etc., These materials consist of a combination of ingredients with a pleasant organoleptic properties, is perceived by a person, and have a separate (single) materials, a complex reaction mixture and natural compounds, usually of plant origin. Examples include various organic compounds, such as octadiene, hexyloxymethyl, derived cyclopentane, diesters dibasic aliphatic acid, 3-(10-undecyloxy)propionitrile, derivatives tricyclodecane-methylol, esters of 2-methyl-2-alkylamino acids, trimethylcyclohexylamine esters, cyanoacetylene, mole(about the)altimeter cyclohexane, nonanol, nonanol, α-examerican, the esters of safronovoi acid and maltol-2-methylalanine (see, for example, Goronszy, M.C. (1992), Treatment of perfume manufacturing wastewaters by co-metabolism with an alcohol substrate, Water Science & Technology 25 (3), 131-141). Examples include lavender oil, rose oil, essence of lilac, the essence of Lily of the valley, etc.

"Long-chain (long) alkyl" group or a derivative refers to a lipophilic fragment or substance, which molecule includes a long-chain, i.e. containing more than 10 carbon atoms, hydrocarbon radicals, such as n-dodecyl, n-hexadecyl and other long-chain alkyl group on this description can include a mixture of various forms of long-chain alkyl, such as those usually obtained from natural sources or as a result of the separation.

Examples of long-chain alkyl include cetyl, i.e. hexadecyl, and lauryl, i.e. dodecyl. The chain may be completely saturated or may contain one or more double bonds (unsaturation), and while it is often linear, and may include waste (branches off, side) groups such as alkyl groups.

In some embodiments, the invention provides a composition in which the pricing when applying (soaping) of the composition to the skin of the user at least the same as the pricing benchmark (compare) the composition does not contain a derivative hydroxyethylcellulose with long-chain alkyl group and having a higher content of anionic surfactants, when applied to the skin (soaping skin of the user in comparable conditions.

Figure 4 graphically shows the results of evaluation of properties (behavior) foam two compositions gel for bath (washing gel) according to the invention ("LS NAR SGel" and "LS NAR SGel Improved) compared with the control cleansing gel (gel bath) ("Std. SGel", "Standard SGel"), not containing derivative hydroxyethylcellulose with long-chain alkyl substituent and has a high (>11.5%) of the total concentration of anionic surfactants. From this estimate it follows that the action of the two detergent compositions of the gels (gels for bath) according to the invention at least almost the same as the action of the control gel. The evaluation was performed using m the TOD C-TP-1494/1-Mod, the product concentration in water of 1 g/l, sample volume 200 ml, T=25°C±1°C, the total number of shaking 10, measurement time: time 0 min (education) and 15 min (destruction).

In Figures 5 and 6 graphically shows the results obtained with the use of SITA Tester foam R-2000, comparing pricing and destruction of foam for the composition of the cleansing gel according to the invention ("LS-HFP gel composition for a shower") and for the control compositions ("standard composition of shower gel).

In some embodiments, the invention provides a composition and a positive perception (positive evaluation) cleaning of the subject using the composition, of at least the same as perception (positive evaluation) cleaning the comparable composition not containing derivative hydroxyethylcellulose with long-chain alkyl group and having a higher content of anionic surfactants. In Figure 7 is provided a subjective assessment of perception (sensation) cleanliness (washing) on the basis of the results, retrieved on 16 volunteers, variant compositions according to the invention compared with the standard reference composition of the cleansing gel. As you can see, there was no reduction of the positive feeling of cleanliness (washing)experienced by users of the composition according to the invention, in comparison with standard composition.

In some embodiments, the invention includes a composition comprising, approximately, up to 3 wt%. aromatic oils or about 2%or about 1%, the effect of aromatic substances on the skin, the action of aromatic substances in the free space capacity (container), or both, is not less than the equivalent operation compared (control) composition. In Figures 8 and 9 compare variant compositions according to the invention with a control cleansing gel, with equal concentrations of essential oils (EO), about 1-1 .3% weight. in education, for one aromatic oils on the skin and in the free space of the vial. The effect of aromatic substances determined by the method of solid phase microextraction (SPME). As you can see, "the basis of gel LS HFP (composition according to the invention) shows the effect of aromatics on the skin at time 0 and 3 hours, and in the free space of the vial, which exceeds the effect of the composition of standard cleansing gel - source cleansing gel."

On the hurah 10 and 11 provides a similar comparison of the action of aromatic oils on the skin and in the free space of the vial except the concentration of aromatic oils in the compositions according to the invention, approximately 15-25% lower, and the data represent the average of results obtained by SPME for six different aromatic oils. Again, "the basis of gel LS HFP (composition according to the invention) shows the effect of aromatics on the skin at time 0 and 3 hours, and in the free space of the vial, which exceeds the effect of the composition of standard cleansing gel - source cleansing gel."

In some embodiments, the invention includes a composition, a number of which in water is less toxicity to organisms in contact with water than the equivalent amount of the composition of the comparison (control composition that does not contain a derivative hydroxyethylcellulose with long-chain alkyl group and having a higher content of anionic surfactants. Comparison of the profile of the relative toxicity of an aqueous solution derived hydroxyethylcellulose with long-chain alkyl group with anionic alketh (alcet) surfactants is given in Table 3.

Definition of common terms is given below:

LC50 or EC50: Lethal or effective concentration 50 = Concentration in water, 50% probability of harmful effects on aquatic flora and fauna, or causes the death of 50% of the aquatic flora and fauna.

SF_acute(SF_{OST is th} ): Safety factor defined investigated next trophic levels (fish, crustaceans, algae) (the greatest, the best studied) (according to the results of acute tests on animals)

TF_acute(TF_acute): L(E)C50/SF_acute

NOEC: Effect concentration no observed = the Highest concentration for which the difference with the control group is not statistically significant in the long-term study.

SF_chronic(SF_chronic): Safety factor defined investigated next trophic levels (fish, crustaceans, algae)

TF_chronic: NOEC/SF_chronic

Table 3
Acute and chronic aquatoxicity cetyl hydroxyethyl cellulose compared to Alketh sulfate surfactant
	Acute toxicity (trophic levels of the aquatic biocenosis)	Chronic toxicity (trophic levels of the aquatic biocenosis)
	LC50 or EC50	SF_acute	TF_acute	NOEC	SF_chronic	TF_chroni
With 12/15 And 1-3 EO sulfate	4.1	1000	0.0041	0.1	10	0.01
Cetyl hydroxyethylcellulose	1000	10000	0.1	600	100	6

Obviously, the reduction of a few percent concentration of anionic surfactant in combination with the addition of cleaning gel of about 0.1-0.5 wt%. cetyl hydroxyethyl cellulose results in a cleansing gel, showing less aquatoxicity (to aquatic flora and fauna) per unit weight (mass) or volume of the composition in the sales package for use by the consumer. Anionic surfactant has a significantly higher both acute and chronic aquatoxicity than cetyl hydroxyethylcellulose, and the reduction relative to the volume of this material with a relatively high aquatoxicity, and its replacement by a smaller amount significantly less aquatoxics product reduces the overall aquatoxicity the composition of the invention relative to the comparable control the composition of the cleansing gel. The above valuable for pot is ebytes properties, equal to or greater than property sales detergent gels, allow the user to select for washing equivalent volume of product, as it will not cause (stimulus) use more volume to achieve the action (properties), for example, foam or a feeling of purity wash, beyond what is achieved when using the sales of the product.

In some embodiments, the invention includes a composition, characterized in that a large proportion of this composition is biodegradable in waste water or in an aquatic ecosystem in comparable conditions than the share of undergoing biological decomposition in the comparison (control) composition not containing derivative hydroxyethylcellulose with long-chain alkyl group and having a higher content of anionic surfactants.

In some embodiments, the invention includes a method of reducing the surfactant concentration in the waste water (sewage) after a bath or shower, consisting in the use of entity for personal washing (personal hygiene) in the bath or shower a certain amount of the composition according to the invention instead of using a comparable number comparison (control) composition not containing derivative hydroxyethylcellulose with long-chain alkyl group and having a higher content of anionic surfactants.

In some Islands Ianto the invention includes a method of reducing the load of surfactants in wastewater treatment plants, consisting in the use of entity for personal washing (personal hygiene) in the bath or shower a certain amount of the composition according to the invention instead of using a comparable number comparison (control) composition not containing derivative hydroxyethylcellulose with long-chain alkyl group and having a higher content of anionic surfactants.

In some embodiments of the invention the detergent composition of the gel according to the invention retain the diversity of functional properties (technical characteristics), which is no worse, and in some cases much better than the standard properties of the composition of the cleansing gel, such as viscosity, soft effect on the skin, foaming, user perceived sense of purity of washing and the effect of aromatic oils, but contain much less anionic surfactants. As discussed above, reduction of the concentration of anionic surfactants in combination with retention of desirable consumer functional properties comparable or higher level allows the user to use a comparable amount of cleansing gel according to the invention, and it is comparable to the number contains a smaller absolute amount of surfactant. Consequently, the waste water after washing with the detergent composition of the gel according to the invention has a lower concentration and lower General who recalls the surfactant compared with waste water after washing standard detergent gel.

Typically, the waste streams (wastewater) or served in the waste water disposal system for the primary and sometimes secondary treatment in sewage treatment plants, whence come into surface water or disposed of in house systems septic tanks arrive in the soil and groundwater. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the invention provides that the decrease in surfactant concentration in the drains for waste water after bathing or decrease in surfactant-load in the drains for waste water can bring environmental benefits to the ecosystem, which enters the waste water. In particular, if the effluent from wastewater treatment or after the septic tank is relatively high local concentrations in surface or groundwater, the cumulative reduction in surfactant-load as a result of applying for washing compositions according to the invention can have a significant positive impact on the health of the ecosystem. For example, the discharge of waste water having a reduced concentration of relatively toxic anionic surfactants, from devices for waste water treatment in wetlands (too moist) of land will lead to reduced toxicity towards aquatic organisms, the resulting reset. It is known that the health of wetlands is vital the La preserve intact, intact ecosystems, as too many sensitive ecology of the species depend on clean water in the environment on wet lands. This ecological benefits can translate into improved human health in the same way in which people consume products with wetlands, such as various cultivated plants, slave, waterfowl, etc.

In some embodiments, the invention provides a method of improving environmental sustainability, namely, that instead of using as a means of personal hygiene gel for the shower or bath containing a certain amount of one or more anionic surfactants, as a means of personal hygiene use shower gel or bath containing a smaller amount of one or more anionic surfactants and optionally containing at least about 0.1% of a derivative of hydroxyethyl cellulose with long-chain alkyl Deputy, preferably, cetyl hydroxyethyl cellulose. Reducing stress regarding the toxic components of the compositions of the cleansing gel on wastewater, and thereby improving the health of aquatic habitats and subsurface (ground) water, where does the treated (or untreated) wastewater achieve a smaller impact on the environment without compromising the quality of life of people through the use of environmentally besure the aqueous detergent gel of the present invention.
