Abstract
A personal care composition comprising: i) a cleaning phase comprising a cleansing anionic surfactant which is a salt and comprises an alkyl group with from 8 to 14 carbons; ii) an aqueous conditioning gel network having no overall charge or being anionic, the gel network comprising: (a) fatty material; (b) a gel network anionic surfactant comprising an alkyl group with from 16 to 30 carbons; (c) cationic surfactant; (d) an active material selected from fragrances, vitamins, sunscreens and cooling agents; and iii) a cationic deposition polymer.
Claims8
A method of manufacturing a hair care composition comprising the steps of
- i) forming an aqueous conditioning gel network which has no overall charge or is anionic, the gel network comprising:
- (a) fatty material;
- (b) a gel network anionic surfactant comprising an alkyl group with from 16 to 30 carbons;
- (c) cationic surfactant;
- (d) an active material selected from the group consisting of fragrances, pest repellents, vitamins, sunscreens and cooling agents and mixtures thereof;
- and
- ii) adding the resulting gel network to diluted primary surfactant solution
- wherein the fatty material is selected from a group consisting of fatty alcohols, fatty esters, fatty acids, and fatty amides, having straight chain or branched, and having from 14 to 30 carbons,
- wherein the ratio between (a) and (b) within the conditioning gel network is from 1.2:1 to 50:1, and
- wherein the ratio between (b) and (c) within the conditioning gel network is from 9:1 to 13:1.
