Abstract

A foamed care composition providing improved in-use wet feel. The composition can contain from about 4% to about 45%, by weight, of a detersive surfactant and from about 0.4% to about 2.5%, by weight, of a cationic synthetic polymer. The hair care composition can produce a final rinse friction of from about 600 gf to about 2000 gf.

Claims

1. A foamed hair care composition comprising:

c. from about 4% to about 45%, by weight, of a detersive surfactant;

d. from about 0.4% to about 2.5%, by weight, of a cationic guar polymer comprising a molecular weight from about 50,000 g/mol to about 2,500,000 g/mol and charge density from about 0.1 meq/g to about 2.5 meq/g;

wherein the hair care composition produces a final rinse friction of from about 600 gf to about 2000 gf; and

wherein the hair care composition is in a foamed form.

2. The hair care composition of claim 1 comprising from about 17% to about 35%, by weight, of the detersive surfactant.

3. The hair care composition of claim 1, wherein the composition comprises from about 0.5% to about 2%, by weight, of the cationic guar polymer.

4. The hair care composition of claim 1, wherein the composition comprises from about 0.7% to about 1.5%, by weight, of the cationic guar polymer.

5. The hair care composition of claim 1 wherein the composition has a liquid phase viscosity of from about 1 centipoise to about 5000 centipoise.

6. The hair care composition of claim 1 wherein the composition has a liquid phase viscosity of from about 1 centipoise to about 3000 centipoise.

7. The hair care composition of claim 1 wherein the composition has a liquid phase viscosity of from about 5 centipoise to about 1500 centipoise.

8. The hair care composition of claim 1, wherein the bubble size distribution comprises an R₃₂ of from about 10 μ

m to about 200 μ

m.

9. The hair care composition of claim 1, wherein the composition comprises a foam density of from about 0.010 g/cm³ to about 0.50 g/cm³.

10. The hair care composition of claim 9, wherein the foam density is from about 0.03 g/cm³ to about 0.35 g/cm³.

11. The hair care composition of claim 1, wherein the hair care composition produces a delta final to initial of at least 185 gf.

12. The hair care composition of claim 1, wherein the foamed composition produces a final rinse friction that is at least 80 gf less than the final rinse friction produced by a composition comprising the same components in a liquid form.

13. The hair care composition of claim 1, wherein the composition has a pH of from about 5 to about 7.

14. A method of treating hair, the method comprising:

a. providing the hair care composition of claim 1 in an aerosol foam dispenser wherein the hair care composition further comprises from about 1% to about 15% foaming agent;

b. applying to a user'"'"'s hair the hair care composition wherein the hair care composition is dispensed from the aerosol foam dispenser as a dosage of foam;

c. rinsing the hair care composition from the hair;

d. optionally applying to the hair a second hair care composition.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the foaming agent is selected from the group consisting of propane, n-butane, isobutane, cyclopropane, and combinations thereof.

16. The method of claim 14, wherein the foaming agent comprises hydrofluoroolefins (HFO).

17. A dosage of foam comprising:

a. from about 5 cm³ to about 500 cm³ of the foam;

wherein the foam comprises;

b. from about from about 17% to about 35%, by weight, of a detersive surfactant;
