Patent ID: 7887787

Claim:
A hair conditioning composition comprising by weight: (a) from about 1% to about 10% of a silicone system comprising: (i) a first silicone which is non-volatile, substantially free of amino groups, and has a viscosity of from about 300,000 mm 2 ·s −1 to 700,000 mm 2 ·s −1 , wherein the first silicone is polydimethyl siloxane; (ii) a second silicone which is non-volatile, substantially free of amino groups, and has a viscosity of from about 30 mm 2 ·s −1 to 100 mm 2 ·s −1 , wherein the first silicone is polydimethyl siloxane; and (iii) a third silicone which is an aminosilicone having a viscosity of from about 3,000 mm 2 ·s −1 to 7,000 mm 2 ·s −1 ; wherein the silicone system forms a silicone pre-mixture; (b) a gel matrix comprising: (i) from about 1.5% to about 5% of behenyl trimethyl ammonium chloride; (ii) from about 2% to about 8% of mixture of stearyl alcohol and cetyl alcohol compound; and (iii) an aqueous carrier; wherein the composition is prepared by a method comprising the steps of: (a) mixing the first, second, and third silicones to form the pre-mixture of the silicone system; and (b) mixing the pre-mixture of the silicone system with the gel matrix.
