Patent ID: 8420065

Claim:
A hair or skin conditioning composition comprising by weight: (a) from about 0.1% to about 10% of a thickening polymer system; (b) from about 0.1% to about 8.0% of a surfactant system selected from the group consisting of cationic surfactant, nonionic surfactant, and mixtures thereof; (c) from about 0.1% to about 10% of a hydrophobically modified amido silicone copolyol being substantially free of primary amine groups wherein the hydrophobically modified amido silicone copolyol has the following formula: wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 4 are respectively C1-C3 alkyl; R 3 is an alkyl group having 8-22 carbon atoms; R 5 is H or C1-C3 alkyl; R 6 is OH or CH 3 ; n is an integer of 0-10; m is an integer of 1-30; n+m=2-40; x, y and z are integers 1 or more; the above formula has Degree of Polymerization (DP), which corresponds to x+y+z+2, of 100-3200; z is included at a level such that Percent z (Pz) is in the range of from 2.8% to 7.0%, wherein the Pz is calculated according to the following equation: Pz=(z/DP)×100; y is included at a level such that Percent y (Py) is in the range of from about 1% to about 15%, wherein Py is calculated according to the following equation: Py=(y/DP)×100; and (d) an aqueous carrier; wherein the composition has a viscosity of from about 1,000 cps to about 50,000 cps and Shear Thinning Index of 30 or more and wherein the composition has a transmittance of 25% or more for at least one month at 25° C. following preparation of the composition, to avoid yellowing of the product appearance.
