Abstract

Described are personal care compositions, comprising water, a methylcellulose that gels at 45C or less, and at least one one hair fixative polymer, moisturizer, conditioner, humectant, cationic conditioning polymer, anti-aging active, or sun care active.

Claims

1. A personal care composition, comprising:

water;

a methylcellulose that gels at 45°

C. or less; and

at least one one hair fixative polymer, moisturizer, conditioner, humectant, cationic conditioning polymer, anti-aging active, or sun care active.

2.
