Abstract

A hair care composition having a conditioning active comprising a sucrose polyester having a melting point greater than about 30° C., an IBAR greater than about 5, an IV of about 3 to about 70, and an aqueous carrier, and may further comprise optional ingredients including but not limited to, silicone, cationic polymers, and fatty alcohols. The composition can also comprise a blend of sucrose polyesters, wherein the blend comprises two or more sucrose polyesters, wherein at least one sucrose polyester has a melting point greater than about 30° C., an IBAR greater than about 5, an IV of about 3 to about 70, and at least one sucrose polyester has an IBAR between about 1 and about 8, and an IV between about 1 and about 135, and wherein the sucrose polyester blend has an IBAR of at least 5 and an IV of about 1 and about 135.

Claims

1. A hair care composition comprising:

a) a conditioning active comprising a sucrose polyester blend;

wherein the blend comprises two or more sucrose polyesters,

i) at least one sucrose polyester has a melting point greater than about 30°

C., an esterification (IBAR) of about 8, an iodine value (IV) of about 3, and

ii) at least one sucrose polyester has an IBAR of about 8, and an IV of about 135, and

iii) wherein the sucrose polyester blend has an IBAR of about 8 and an IV between about 3 and about 135; and

b) an aqueous carrier.

2. The hair care composition of claim 1, wherein said composition further comprises a fatty alcohol having from about 14 to about 30 carbon atoms.

3. The composition of claim 1, wherein the hair care composition is selected from the group consisting of shampoos, conditioners, and hair styling products.

4. The hair care composition of claim 1, further comprising a surfactant.

5. The hair care composition of claim 1, further comprising a polymer.

6. The hair care composition of claim 5, wherein said polymer is cassia.

7. The hair care composition of claim 1, wherein said sucrose polyester is a particle, and the particle is a least about 0.05 microns.

8. The hair care composition of claim 7, wherein said sucrose polyester is a particle, and the particle is from about 0.5 to about 100 microns in size.
