Abstract

This invention relates to a foamable concentrated hair care composition comprising an anionic surfactant, a co-surfactant, a viscosity reducing agent, and a cationic polymer. The hair care composition may further comprise a silicone, wherein the silicone particle size is less than about 10 microns. The hair care composition has a viscosity of from about 1 to about 3,000 cps.

Claims

a. greater than 20% of a surfactant system, by weight of the hair care composition, wherein the surfactant system comprises;

i) from about 10% to about 40% of one or more sulfate-free anionic surfactants;

ii) from about 1% to about 15% of one or more co-surfactants selected from the group consisting of amphoteric, zwitterionic, nonionic and mixtures thereof, by weight of the hair care composition;

wherein about 1% or more of the one or more co-surfactants are zwitterionic surfactants which possess a hydroxyl group in their molecular structure, by weight of the hair care composition;

b. from about 0.1% to about 35% of one or more viscosity reducing agents, by weight of the hair care composition;

wherein the hair care composition has a viscosity of from about 1 centipoise to about 3,000 centipoise;
