Abstract: Hair conditioning compositions are disclosed comprising: (1) a carboxylic acid/carboxylate copolymer; (2) a visible particle; and (3) an aqueous carrier.

Abstract: Disclosed is a hair conditioning composition for applying to the dry hair prior to washing the hair, comprising by weight: (a) from about 30% to about 99.9% of a conditioning oil which is in liquid form at 25° C.; and (b) a thickener in an amount which provides the composition to have a viscosity of from about 500 mPa·s to about 200,000 mPa·s, the thickener selected from the group consisting of fatty compounds, waxy compounds, gelling agents, inorganic thickeners, oil soluble polymers, and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to hair conditioning compositions comprising from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of a monohydric, fatty alcohol having a melting point of 30.degree. C. or lower; from about 0.1% to about 10%, by weight of a polymer of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, and mixtures thereof, having the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R is selected from the group consisting of H, methyl, and mixtures thereof; and n has an average value of from about 2,000 to about 14,000; from 0% to about 20%, by weight, of a conditioning agent selected from the group consisting of cationic surfactants, cationic polymers, nonvolatile silicones, nonvolatile hydrocarbons, saturated C.sub.14 to C.sub.22 straight chain fatty alcohols, nonvolatile hydrocarbon esters, and mixtures thereof; and water.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions useful for treating hair or skin. These compositions comprise a topical vehicle containing panthenol and a polyalkyleneglycol having from 3 to about 12 repeating ethyleneglycol or propyleneglycol units.
