The present invention relates to conditioning shampoo compositions which both cleanse the hair and condition the hair. These compositions comprise a detersive surfactant; a fatty compounds; a hair conditioning agent; and water. The present invention also relates to methods for cleansing and conditioning the hair.
Hair-colorant compositions containing (a) from 0.2 to 25% by weight of an alkoxylated carboxylic acid ester; (b) from 0.5 to 25% by weight of a fatty acid partial glyceride; and (c) from 0.1 to 15% by weight of a hair dye; wherein all percentages by weight are based on the total composition, are disclosed. Methods of reducing cloudiness in hair-colorant compositions by combining a hair dye and a mixture of an alkoxylated carboxylic acid ester and a fatty acid partial glyceride are also disclosed.
The present invention provides a method of treating lice and/or tick infestation, in both mature and immature forms, comprising topically applying a composition consisting of at least about 40% of polydimethylsiloxane by volume to the infestation and allowing the composition to remain on the infestation for at least 5 minutes, wherein the surface tension of the composition is below about 25 dynes/centimeter at 20.degree. C. and the viscosity of the composition is above about 200 centistokes at 20.degree. C.
The compositions of the present invention relate to improved shampoo compositions having from about from about 5 to about 50 weight percent of a detersive surfactant, at least about 0.05 weight percent of a fatty alcohol gel network and at least about 20.0 weight percent of an aqueous carrier.
The conditioning performance of small particle size emulsified silicone in a surfactant-based shampoo composition can be significantly boosted by the inclusion in the shampoo composition of an amino functionalised silicone. Accordingly, the invention provides an aqueous shampoo composition comprising, in addition to water: i) at least one surfactant chosen from anionic, nonionic, zwitterionic or amphoteric surfactants or mixtures thereof; ii) an amino functionalised silicone; and iii) emulsified particles of an insoluble, non-amino functionalised silicone, in which the average silicone particle size of the emulsified non-amino functional silicone in the shampoo composition is less than 2 microns.
An anhydrous or substantially anhydrous self-warming rinse-out composition which comprises: a) a glycol, b) a quaternary ammonium compound, c) an amidoamine, and d) a silicone.
