Patent ID: 7431938

Claim:
A texturizing composition, consisting essentially of: a) from about 1% to about 90% of at least one self-invertible inverse latex by weight; and b) from about 10% to about 99% of at least one powder by weight, wherein, said self-invertible inverse latex comprises an oil phase, an aqueous phase, at least one water-in-oil (W/O) emulsifier, at least one oil-in-water (O/W) emulsifier, and a branched or crosslinked polyelectrolyte, said polyelectrolyte is selected from the group consisting of: a homopolymer based on a monomer possessing either a strong acid function which is partly or totally in salt form or a weak acid function which is partly or totally in salt form, a copolymer based on at least one monomer possessing a strong acid function copolymerized either with at least one monomer possessing a weak acid function or with at least one neutral monomer, and a copolymer based on at least one monomer possessing a weak acid function copolymerized with at least one neutral monomer or with a monomer possessing a weak acid function.
