Patent ID: 7842286

Claim:
A hair styling cream comprising (a) from about 10% to about 25% by weight of crosslinked silicone polymer; wherein the crosslinked silicone copolymer is a dimethicone crosspolymer cross linked with C 3 to C 20 alkyl groups; (b) from about 8% to about 20% by weight of two alkoxylated compounds, wherein one alkoxylated compound is polyethylenoxides with a molecular weight in the range of from 500 to 700 and the other alkoxylated compound is fatty acid esters of bis-(polyethylenoxide)polydimethylsiloxane wherein the weight ratio of crosslinked silicone copolymer to the sum of alkoxylated compound is from about 1:2 about 1:6 (c) from about 0.5% to about 5% by weight of emulsifier; wherein the emulsifier is nonionic wherein the nonionic emulsifier is ethoxylated hydrogenated castor oil; (d) a fatty phase; and (e) an aqueous phase comprising from about 20% to about 50% by weight water, and further comprising from about 1% to about 18% by weight of nonionic hair fixing polymer wherein the nonionic hair fixing polymer is selected from the group consisting of polyvinylpyrrolidone, copolymers of vinyl pyrrolidone and vinyl acetate or copolymers of vinylpyrrolidone, methacrylamide, and vinylimidazole.
