Claim 11:
12. A process for the manufacture of a hair cleansing composition comprising the steps of:
a) providing a defibrillated primary cell wall material comprising cellulose microfibrils, wherein
the defibrillated primary cell wall material comprises up to 20 wt. % water, based on the total weight of the fibrils; and wherein
the cellulose has an average degree of crystallinity of less than 50%, the defibrillated primary cell wall material comprises polyol distributed between the fibrils, and the polyol is selected from glycerol, diglycerol, monopropylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, ethylene glycol and polyethylene glycol, sorbitol, sucrose and mixtures thereof;
b) providing further ingredients comprising at least a water-phase and from 1 to 50 wt % of a cleansing surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactant, zwitterionic or amphoteric surfactant, non-ionic and mixtures thereof;
c) mixing the ingredients provided at step a) and b) under low shear to provide a cleaning product, where mixing under low-shear includes using a rotor stator mixer or dispersion disc mixer with a rotor or disc tip speed of less than 40 m/s.
