Claims32
A composition for washing and conditioning keratin substances comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable aqueous medium, at least one silicone, at least one surfactant with detergent properties, and at least one hydrophobic galactomannan gum,
- wherein said at least one hydrophobic galactomannan gum comprises hydrophobic substituents chosen from linear or branched alkyl groups containing from 8 to 60 carbon atoms, linear or branched alkenyl groups containing from 8 to 60 carbon atoms, and mixtures thereof, wherein said alkyl and alkenyl groups can be substituted with one or more hydroxyl groups.
A process for suspending at least one silicone in a washing and conditioning composition comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable aqueous medium, said at least one silicone and at least one surfactant, said process comprising adding at least one hydrophobic galactomannan gum to said washing and conditioning composition,
- wherein said at least one hydrophobic galactomannan gum comprises hydrophobic substituents chosen from linear or branched alkyl groups containing from 8 to 60 carbon atoms, linear or branched alkenyl groups containing from 8 to 60 carbon atoms, and mixtures thereof, wherein said alkyl and alkenyl groups can be substituted with one or more hydroxyl groups.
