ANHYDROUS HAIR TREATMENT COMPOSITION COMPRISING AN ALPHA HYDROXYACID ESTER

Abstract

ANHYDROUS HAIR TREATMENT COMPOSITION COMPRISING AN ALPHA HYDROXY ACID ESTER The present disclosure relates to a substantially anhydrous hair treatment composition; and methods for conditioning, facilitating combing, and improving the appearance and feel of hair. The compositions include: (a) about 5 to about 95% by weight of one or more alpha hydroxy acid esters; (b) one or more polyols having from 2 to 10 carbon atoms; (c) one or more cationic surfactants; (d) one or more fatty alcohols; and (e) less than 5% by weight of water and monohydric alcohols having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms. The compositions are typically transparent or translucent, form a lamellar phase in situ when applied to wet or damp hair, and provide deep conditioning and other benefits to the hair.
