Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a suspending polymer composition comprising a blend of: (i) about 40 to about 80 wt. % of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC); (ii) about 10 to about 30 wt. % of xanthan gum; and (iii) about 10 to about 30 wt. % of cetyl-hydroxy ethyl cellulose (cetyl-HEC) for use in personal care or home care compositions. The suspending polymer composition preferably is free of acrylates, methacrylates and derivatives thereof.
Claims24

- (ii) about 10 to about 20 wt. % of xanthan gum;
- (iii) about 10 to about 20 wt. % of cetyl-hydroxy ethyl cellulose;
- b. about 0.1 to about 30 wt. % of at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic, cationic, nonionic, zwitterionic, amphoteric and combinations thereof;
- c. 0.1 to 10 wt. % of at least one personal care ingredient;
- and
- d. about 30 to about 70 wt. % water based on the total weight of the composition.
