Abstract: Disclosed is an aqueous cleansing composition comprising (a) at least one anionic surfactant that is not an alkyl sulfate or alkyl ether sulfate, (b) at least one amphoteric surfactant, (c) at least one thickener selected from a hydrophobically-modified acrylic acid based copolymer having a molecular weight from about 80,000 to about 2,500,000 grams per mole, (d) at least one cationic conditioning agent, and (e) optionally at least one nonionic surfactant; wherein the ratio of the anionic surfactant (a) to amphoteric surfactant (b) is less than about 9.5, by weight. Also disclosed are methods of cleaning and conditioning hair using said compositions and methods of making said compositions.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions for washing, cleansing, and/or rinsing keratin substrates, comprising: (a) an ampholytic polymer comprising a repetition of: (i) one or more units obtained from a monomer of (meth)acrylamide type, (ii) one or more units obtained from a monomer of (meth)acrylamidoalkyltrialkylammonium type, and (iii) one or more units obtained from an acidic monomer of (meth)acrylic acid type; (b) a copolymer comprising a monomer (i) selected from acrylic acid amide, methacrylic acid amide, N-alkylacrylic acid amide and N-alkyl-methacrylic acid amide; a monomer (ii) selected from N-vinyllactams and N-vinylpyrrolidone; a monomer (iii) selected from quaternized N-vinylimidazoles; and the monomer N-vinylimidazole; (c) a silane; (d) a surfactant mixture; and (e) water. Also disclosed are processes for washing, cleansing, and/or rinsing keratin substrates using the composition, and processes for imparting instant and long lasting volume as well as conditioning to the keratin substrates.
