Abstract

Provided are home and personal care compositions comprising a cationic hydrophobically modified galactomannan ether and a silicone, where the cationic hydrophobically modified galactomannan ether have a cationic degree of substitution (DS_cat) from 0.01 to 0.5 and a hydrophobic degree of substitution (DS_H) from 0.00001 to less than 0.001 These compositions provide a benefit to hair, skin or fabric onto which they have been applied. Benefits may include softness, level of silicone deposition and ease of detangling.

Claims

1. A home and personal care composition comprising a silicone and a cationic hydrophobically modified galactomannan ether have a cationic degree of substitution (DS_cat) from 0.01 to 0.5 and a hydrophobic degree of substitution (DS_H) from 0.00001 to less than 0.001.

2. A home and personal care composition according to claim 1, wherein the cationic substitution of the galactomannan ether is obtained from the reaction of one of the hydroxyl group of the galactomannan with tertiary amino or quaternary ammonium alkylating agents.

3. A home and personal care composition according to claim 1, wherein the hydrophobic substitution of the galactomannan ether is obtained by the introduction of hydrophobic substituents selected from the group consisting of linear or branched alkyl and/or alkenyl substituents of from 12 to 32 carbon atoms either alone or mixed together.

4. A home and personal care composition according to claim 1, wherein the galactomannan ether has a cationic substituent which is 2-hydroxy-3-(trimethylammonium)propyl chloride and a hydrophobic substituent which comprises a linear chain alkyl containing between 14 and 24 carbon atoms.

5. A home and personal care composition according to claim 1, wherein the silicone is selected from silicone oils, silicone waxes, silicone resins, silicone elastomers and silicone gums.

6. A home and personal care composition according to claim 1, wherein the silicone is present in the form of an emulsion.

7. A home and personal care composition according to claim 1, wherein the silicone is selected from non-volatile silicones chosen from the family of polyalkylsiloxanes containing trimethylsilyl end groups, polyalkylsiloxanes containing dimethylsilanol end groups, polysiloxanes containing amine groups, polysiloxanes containing polyethylenoxy and/or polypropylenoxy groups, hydrocarbyl functional organopolysiloxane and mixtures of two or more of these

8. A personal care composition according to claim 1, which is a skin care composition.

9. A personal care composition according to claim 8, which is a shower gel, soap, hydrogel, cream, lotion or balm.

10. A personal care composition according to claim 1, which is a hair care composition.

11. A personal care composition according to claim 10, which is a shampoo, rinse off conditioner, leave-in conditioner, gel, pomade or cuticle coat.

12. A home care composition according to claim 1, which is a fabric care composition, a liquid detergent, a solid detergent, a fabric softener or a hard surface cleaner.

13. A home and personal care composition according to claim 1, wherein the cationic hydrophobically modified galactomannan ether is present in an amount of from 0.01 to 10% by weight and the silicone is present in an amount of from 0.01 to 10% by weight, and wherein the weight ratio of cationic hydrophobically modified galactomannan ether to silicone is in the range of 5:

1 to 1;

20.

14. A method of treating a hair, skin or fabric substrate by applying to it a composition comprising a silicone and a cationic hydrophobically modified galactomannan ether have a cationic degree of substitution (DS_cat) from 0.01 to 0.5 and a hydrophobic degree of substitution (DS_H) from 0.00001 to less than 0.001.
