Abstract: A personal cleansing composition comprising: i) a cleansing surfactant comprising an amphoteric surfactant and an anionic surfactant which if ethoxylated has a degree of ethoxylation of less than 3, in which the ratio of anionic surfactant to amphoteric surfactant is less than 5:1; ii) an oil phase comprising at least one triglyceride oil; iii) an aliphatic fatty acid or salt thereof having a carbon chain length from C4 to C10; and iv) a piroctone compound; in which the composition has a ph at 20° C. of 16 or less and the weight ratio of aliphatic fatty acid to triglyceride oil is from 1:2 to 5:1.

Abstract: Hair washing compositions are disclosed which comprise cleansing surfactant, water, first and second cationic polymers having at pH7 a charge density from 0.2 to 1 meq/gm and from 1.3 to 3 meq/gm respectively, and droplets of a water-insoluble conditioning oil of diameter 4 micrometres or less. The compositions provide cleansing with conditioning and low friction and ease of combing for wet and dry hair.

Abstract: A hair treatment composition containing a silicone component comprising droplets of silicone blend, the silicone blend comprising (i) from 50 to 95% by weight of the silicone component of a first silicone having a viscosity of at least 100,000 mm2/sec at 25° C., and (ii) from 5 to 50% by weight of the silicone component of a second silicone which is functionalised.
