Hair care shampoo

Abstract

Cleaning cosmetic composition which contains, in a cosmetic carrier, a) at least one anionic surfactant (A), b) at least one amphoteric surfactant (B), c) at least one C2-C4 mono- and / or dialkanolamide (C) of at least one C8-C24 carboxylic acid, d) at least one polydimethyl siloxane (D), and e) at least one cationic polysaccharide (E), characterized in that i) the weight ratio of the anionic surfactant (A) to alkanolamide (C) is 15:1 to 7:1; and ii) the weight ratio of the amphoteric surfactant (B) to alkanolamide (C) is 12:1 to 5:1.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to cleansing cosmetic compositions comprising, among other things, a specific surfactant mixture of anionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants and fatty acid mono- and / or di-alkanolamides in a cosmetic carrier. Contains at least one polydimethylsiloxane and a cationic polysaccharide. Such compositions are suitable, for example, as shampoos for cleansing the hair. Background technique [0002] Cosmetic cleansers (e.g. shampoos) are based on typical anionic, amphoteric, zwitterionic, nonionic and / or cationic surfactants, where anionic surfactants are usually mainly Anionic surfactants are used, optionally mixed with small amounts of co-surfactants. Suitable commercially available shampoos cleanse the hair and remove sebum residues and / or residues of styling agents and other impurities from the hair surface and scalp. [0003] However, lipids and proteins are also removed from the hair and scalp during cleansing, which ca...

Problems solved by technology

To achieve the desired hand feel of the formulations, i.e. to establish the desired "creamy" flow properties and higher viscosity, extensive formulation effort is required and the long-term stability of these formulations is often unsatisfactory

Also, mild surfactants are usually not highly foaming and can reduce the amount and quality of foam (creaminess and fine-celledness of the foam)
