Hair care compositions containing low melting point fatty alcohol and ethylene oxide/propylene oxide polymer
First Claim
1. A hair care composition comprising:
- (a) from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight, of a low melting point fatty alcohol having a melting point of 30°
C. or lower;
(b) from about 0.2% to about 10% by weight, of a polymer of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, and mixtures thereof, having the formula;
##STR8## wherein R is selected from the group consisting of H, methyl, and mixtures thereof; and
n has an average value of from about 2,000 to about 14,000;
(c) from 0% to about 20% by weight, of a conditioning agent selected from the group consisting of cationic surfactants, cationic polymers, nonvolatile silicones, nonvolatile hydrocarbons, saturated C14 to C22 straight chain fatty alcohols, nonvolatile hydrocarbon esters, and mixtures thereof; and
(d) from about 50% to about 99.8% by weight, water.

Abstract
The present invention relates to hair conditioning compositions comprising from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of a monohydric, fatty alcohol having a melting point of 30° C. or lower; from about 0.1% to about 10%, by weight of a polymer of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, and mixtures thereof, having the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R is selected from the group consisting of H, methyl, and mixtures thereof; and n has an average value of from about 2,000 to about 14,000; from 0% to about 20%, by weight, of a conditioning agent selected from the group consisting of cationic surfactants, cationic polymers, nonvolatile silicones, nonvolatile hydrocarbons, saturated C14 to C22 straight chain fatty alcohols, nonvolatile hydrocarbon esters, and mixtures thereof; and water. These hair care compositions provide a product with a thickened, cream emulsion or gel-type rheology having good wet hair feel, spreadability, and rinseability, as well as providing glossiness, hair alignment, volume reduction, and dry combing benefits.
