Hair conditioning composition for improved deposition

Abstract

A composition comprising: ⋅(i) 0.01 to 10 wt % of a branched cationic conditioning surfactant selected from structure 1⋅wherein: ⋅⋅R1 and R2 comprise linear alkyl chains, saturated or unsaturated, with carbon-carbon chain lengths of from C4 to C20; ⋅⋅R3 comprise either a proton or linear or branched alkyl chains, saturated or unsaturated, with carbon-carbon chain lengths of from C1 to C5; ⋅⋅n has a range of from 0 to 10; ⋅⋅XG is an organic or inorganic anion; ⋅(ii) 0.1 to 10 wt % of a linear fatty material having at least one linear carbon-carbon chain, selected from a linear fatty alcohol, a linear alkoxylated fatty alcohol, a linear fatty acid and mixtures thereof; ⋅(iii) 0.1 to 5 wt % of a nonionic structurant; and ⋅(iv) a particulate benefit agent selected from conditioning actives; wherein the molar ratio of branched cationic surfactants (i) to linear fatty material (ii) is in the range of from 1:20 to 1:1, results in improved particulate benefit agent deposition onto bleached hair. A preferred structurant is hydroxyethyl cellulose and preferred conditioning actives are silicone emulsions.
