Abstract: Disclosed are personal care cleansing compositions including: a) water; b) up to about 10 wt %, based on the total weight of the personal care cleansing composition, of a surfactant selected from the group consisting of an anionic surfactant, an amphoteric surfactant, a nonionic/anionic surfactant mixture, and combinations thereof; c) a rheology modifying polymer; d) a cationic-substituted guar; and e) a copolymer of acrylamidopropyltrimonium chloride and acrylamide; wherein the personal care cleansing composition is sulfate-free or substantially sulfate-free; and their use in personal care, such as hair care, is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a personal care composition additive for use on keratin substrates in order to provide long lasting benefits to the keratin substrate such as in conditioning systems, such as 2/1 shampoo's, leave-on and rinse off conditioners, for hair and skin, or for imparting greater water resistance to such personal care compositions as sunscreens or cosmetics.

Abstract: Aqueous multiphase compositions are stabilized using a blend of cellulose ether and nanocrystalline cellulose. The multiphase compositions can include particulates dispersed in water, oil in water emulsions, foams, and combinations of these systems. The blend can be used to stabilize aqueous paint systems, personal care products such as shampoos and detergents formed as oil in water emulsions, and foaming products such as detergents, shampoos, other personal care products and edible compositions such as whip cream substitutes. Further, this blend can reduce or eliminate the need for surfactants in many of these multiphase compositions.

Abstract: The presently disclosed and claimed inventive concept(s) relates to a conditioning composition additive for use on keratin substrates in order to provide immediate as well as long lasting benefits to the keratin substrate in conditioning systems, such as leave-on and rinse off conditioners, for hair and skin, or for imparting greater water resistance to such personal care compositions as sunscreens or cosmetics. The presently disclosed and claimed inventive concept(s) also relates to a conditioning composition containing the conditioning composition additive and a method of applying the conditioning composition additive.
