Abstract

A conditioning composition comprised of a mixture of anionic, amphoteric, and nonionic surfactants, branched quaternary polymers, and silicone which imparts cleansing, wet detangling, dry detangling and manageability to hair and which is relatively non-irritating and thus suitable for use by young children and adults having sensitive skin and eyes. The conditioning composition is able to provide such benefits in an aesthetically pleasing formulation without the need for suspending agents, opacifiers, or pearlizing agents.
