Abstract

This invention relates to a foamable hair care composition comprising an anionic surfactant, a co-surfactant, a viscosity reducing agent, and a cationic polymer having a weight average molecular weight of less than about 1,000,000 g/mol. The hair care composition may further comprise a silicone, wherein the silicone particle size is less than about 10 microns. The hair care composition has a viscosity of from about 1 to about 3,000 cps.

Claims

1. An aerosol hair care composition comprising:

a. a surfactant system consisting of;

i) from about 20% to about 28% by weight of sodium undecyl sulfate;

ii) from about 3% to about 6% by weight of lauramidopropyl betaine;

b. from about 1 to about 10% by weight of dipropylene glycol;

c. from about 0.05% to about 1% by weight of guar hydroxypropyl trimonium chloride; and

d. from about 1% to about 10% of a propellant

wherein the aerosol hair care composition is a shampoo.

2. The hair care composition of claim 1, further comprising from 0.01 to about 4% of one or more silicone emulsion, wherein said silicone has a particle size less than about 10 micrometers.

3. The hair care composition of claim 2, wherein the silicone emulsion is selected from the group consisting of dimethiconol, dimethicone, silicone quaternium-22, silicone quaternium-17, silicone quaternium-80 micro-emulsion, and mixtures thereof.

4. The hair care composition of claim 1, having from about 0.05% to about 0.9% by weight of guar hydroxypropyl trimonium chloride.

5. The hair care composition of claim 1, further comprising an anti-dandruff active.
