Personal cleansing compositions comprising silicone resin-containing adhesives

Abstract

Disclosed are personal cleansing compositions for rinse-off application to the hair, nails or skin. These compositions comprise a silicone-resin based adhesive including a silicone resin copolymer as a condensation product of an organosiloxane fluid and a silicone resin; a cleansing surfactant; and a carrier liquid. The personal cleansing compositions can also comprise as the silicone-resin based adhesive, in addition to or in place of the silicone resin copolymer, a combination of an organosiloxane resin and a diorganosiloxane fluid at a weight ratio of said resin to said fluid of from about 1:9 to about 10:1. The personal cleansing compositions provide hair styling benefits when applied to the hair, and when applied to the skin, barrier protection from surfactants or other materials having skin irritation potential.
