Abstract

A composition comprising: (i) 0.01 to 10 wt % of a branched cationic conditioning surfactant; selected from structure (1), (ii) 0.1 to 10 wt % of a linear fatty material comprising linear carbon-carbon chains, selected from a fatty alcohol, an alkoxylated fatty alcohol, a fatty acid and mixtures thereof; (iii) 0.1 to 5 wt % of a nonionic structurant; (iv) a particulate benefit agent selected from conditioning actives, wherein the conditioning actives are silicone emulsions; and (v) from 0.01 to 2, preferably 0.02 to 1.5, most preferably from 0.05 to 1 wt % of a clay, 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.
