Abstract
A keratin conditioning composition is disclosed that contains (a) a surfactant component that can contain anionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, cationic surfactants, nonionic surfactants and/or zwitterionic, (b) a water soluble, organic, ampholytic polymer conditioning agent, (c) a water soluble, organic, cationic polymer conditioning agent; (d) optionally a water insoluble liquid; and (e) an aqueous carrier. The conditioning composition optionally contains a silicone and/or an organic, water insoluble, liquid. The conditioning composition according to the present invention is useful in cleaning and/or conditioning keratin based substrates, such as hair, skin, and nails.
