Patent ID: 8623341

Claim:
A shampoo composition comprising: a) from about 0.01 wt. % to about 10 wt. % of a water-soluble cationically modified starch polymer, wherein said water-soluble cationically modified starch polymer has a molecular weight from about 1,000 to about 200,000 and a charge density from about 0.7 meq/g to about 2.5 meq/g; wherein said water-soluble cationically modified starch polymer comprises maltodextrin and has a Dextrose Equivalent of less than 35; b) from about 5 wt. % to about 50 wt. % of an anionic surfactant system, said anionic surfactant system comprising at least one anionic surfactant and having an ethoxylate level and an anion level, i) wherein said anionic surfactant is selected from the group consisting of sodium laureth sulfate, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof, ii) wherein said ethoxylate level is from about 2 to about 5, and iii) wherein said anion level is from about 2 to about 4; c) from about 0.025 wt. % to about 5 wt. % of a second cationic deposition polymer selected from the group consisting of cationic guar, cationic cellulose, synthetic cationic deposition polymers, and mixtures thereof, i) wherein said cationic guar and cationic cellulose have a molecular weight greater than about 200,000 and a charge density from about 0.15 meq/g to about 4.0 meq/g, and ii) wherein said synthetic cationic deposition polymer has a molecular weight from about 1,000 to about 5,000,000 and a charge density from about 2 meq/g to about 10 meq/g; and d) a cosmetically acceptable medium.
