  • Patent number: 5945093
    Abstract: An improved stable conditioning shampoo imparts improved physical and cosmetic properties to the hair such as wet and dry comb, wet and dry feel, gloss, static control and manageability, yet does not cause build-up and does not contain any polyhydric compounds. The shampoo includes an anionic surfactant, a water soluble cationic surfactant, a water-insoluble conditioning agent, and a suspending agent where the suspending agent is a mixture of a cellulose derivative and a PVM/MA Decadiene crosspolymer. The conditioning shampoo is stable for extended periods.
