Abstract

A foamable, shampoo composition for cleansing hair which comprises:

(i) about 0.005 to about 5% of a cationic deposition polymer having a cationic charge density of about 0.1 to about 4.0 meq/gram;

(ii) about 10 to about 20% of an anionic surfactant which is selected from the group consisting of an alkyl ether sulfate with at least about two moles of ethoxylation, and a neutralized alkyl ether sulfate with at least about two moles of ethoxylation; and mixtures thereof;

(iii) about 0.5 to about 1.0% of an organic salt of a carboxylic acid;

(iv) about 6 to 15% sorbitan derivative;

(v) about 3 to about 6% of a zwitterionic, surface active compound which includes quaternized alkyl or substituted alkyl derivatives of N,N-dimethylycine;

(vi) about 0.25 to about 5% of an amphoteric surfactant;

(vii) about 0.75 to about 1.5% of an alkoxylated carboxylic acid

(viii) about 0.1 to about 5% of a silicone copolyol

(ix) optionally an aerosol propellant; and

(x) water.
