Abstract
A hair treatment composition which has a thickened fluid form comprising: (i) a first (shear gel) phase comprising at least one naturally derived polymer which is capable of forming a reversible gel, which polymer is present in the composition as a shear gel (i.e., a multiplicity of separate gel particles which have been formed by subjecting the polymer to shear while gel formation takes place), and (ii) a second (suspended) phase suspended therein.
Claims2
A hair treatment composition which is a shampoo and has a thickened fluid form comprising:
- (i) a first phase comprising at least one naturally derived polymer which is capable of forming a reversible gel, which copolymer is present in the composition as a shear gel having a multiplicity of separate gel particles which have been formed by subjecting the polymer to shear while gel formation takes place, and
- (ii) a second phase suspended therein,
- said composition further comprising:
- (a) from 5 to 30% by weight of the total shampoo composition of surfactant, and
- (b) from 0.02% to 0.5% by weight of the total shampoo composition of a cationic deposition polymer.
A hair treatment composition which is a conditioner and has a thickened fluid form comprising:
- (i) a first phase comprising at least one naturally derived polymer which is capable of forming a reversible gel, which copolymer is present in the composition as a shear gel having a multiplicity of separate gel particles which have been formed by subjecting the polymer to shear while gel formation takes place, and
- (ii) a second phase suspended therein,
- said composition further comprising:
- (a) from 0.05 to 5% by weight of the total composition of a cationic surfactant, and
- (b) from 0.1 to 5% by weight of the total composition of a fatty alcohol.
