Abstract:
An aqueous shampoo composition comprising:a) from about 5.0% to about 50% of a surfactant component comprising:i) an ethoxylated alkyl sulfate surfactant having from about 1 to about 8 moles of ethoxylation; andii) an amphoteric surfactant;b) from about 0.01% to about 3.0% of a cationic cellulosic polymer having a molecular weight of from about 400,000 to about 1,500,000 and charge density of from about 0.6 to about 3 meq/gram;c) from about 0.005% to about 5% of a water insoluble non-volatile silicone conditioning agent having an average particle size below 4 microns;d) from about 0.05% to about 5%, by weight, of an organic, nonvolatile, water insoluble liquid which is solubilized in the surfactant component and having a viscosity of from about 1 to about 300 centipoise selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbon oils and fatty esters having a boiling point at ambient pressure of about 250.degree. C. or higher, and mixtures thereof; ande) an aqueous carrierwherein said composition comprises less than about 5% of ethoxylated alkyl sulfate surfactant having less than 1 mole of ethoxylation.
