Abstract: An anhydrous medicated hair and scalp conditioner comprising sulfur as a medicament, petrolatum, mineral wax, dispersant and about 1 to about 30 weight percent organically modified hectorite clay gellant is produced having a one phase appearance. The medicated hair and scalp conditioner is prepared by admixing the gellant in petrolatum heated to about 80.degree.-85.degree. C., followed by melting and admixture therein of the mineral wax at the same temperature. Sulfur is dispersed in the dispersant in a separate container and the resultant dispersion then added to the previous admixture at a temperature of about 75.degree.-80.degree. C. The resulting composition is then agitated for about 30 minutes while allowing the temperature to cool to about 70.degree. C., after which the composition is collected.
