Patent ID: 8597625

Claim:
An aqueous, volumizing shampoo composition comprising an anionic surfactant in an amount of 7 to 25 wt % based on the total weight of the composition, and a hyperbranched polyesteramide in an amount of 0.05-10 wt. % based on the total weight of the composition, said hyperbranched polyesteramide comprising at least one secondary amide bond and having at least one quarternized amine end-group, said hyperbranched polyesteramide comprising at least one secondary amide bond and having at least one quarternized amine end-group being obtainable by condensation of a dialkylamine of the general formula HN(R 1 R 2 ) and/or an alcohol functional amine of the general formula HO—R 3 —N(R 1 R 2 ), wherein R 1 and R 2 are di-(C 1-20 -alkyl)amino-C 1-20 -alkyl groups or R 1 and R 2 together form a N-heterocyclic ring and R 3 is C 1-20 -alkyl, which might also contain oxygen groups, a dicarboxylic acid or a cyclic anhydride thereof and tris-hydroxymethyl-aminomethane or 2-amino-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol followed by quaternization of the amino groups.
