Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for forming a silicone-free hair conditioning composition comprising the steps of, first, forming a first phase, the first phase comprising an olive squalane, one or more esters, and one or more waxes. Then, a second phase is formed, the second phase comprising one or more non-silicone conditioning agents, one or more cationic polymers, and water. Next, the first and second phases are combined to form a mixture. And finally, preservatives and minor ingredients may be added to the mixture.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a hair conditioning composition comprising an olive squalane, a wax, an ester, and a cosmetically acceptable carrier. The hair conditioning composition is essentially free of one or more components selected from the group consisting of silicones, anionic surfactants, amidoamines, silicone derivatives, ethoxylated emulsifiers, and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: A method for forming a large particle complex comprising the steps of combining a hydrolyzed corn starch polymer, a starch/cellulose polymer, a hydrogenated phospholipid, and gum arabic in a cosmetically acceptable carrier to form a premix composition; heating said premix to about 85° C. for about 15 minutes; and cooling the composition to room temperature. The particle complex is useful as a component of a sprayable composition which provides volumizing, hair fixing, and conditioning as a leave-on treatment for human hair.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a hair straightening composition comprising at least one emulsifying silicone elastomer, at least one naturally derived deposition polymer, at least one silicone conditioning agent, and an aqueous carrier.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for straightening hair comprising applying an effective amount of a hair straightening composition to hair, the composition comprising at least one emulsifying silicone elastomer, at least one naturally derived deposition polymer; at least one silicone conditioning agent, and an aqueous carrier, wherein said composition is not rinsed from the hair.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a personal care composition comprising: a personal care composition comprising a particle complex consisting of a hydrolyzed corn starch, a starch/cellulose polymer, a hydrogenated phospholipid, and gum arabic; and an aqueous carrier. The personal care composition is suitable for delivery as a sprayable composition which provides volumizing, hair fixing, and conditioning as a leave-on treatment. The present invention is also directed to a method for forming a particle complex wherein the complex provides volumizing, hair fixing, and conditioning benefits when applied to hair.
