Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
48 words
A shampoo composition comprising: (a) from 2-35% surfactant; (b) from 0.01 to 10% of a microemulsion of particles of a high viscosity silicone having a particle size of <0.15 microns, the emulsion comprising water, emulsifier and the particles and (c) 0.01 - 10% of a cationic deposition polymer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
32 words
A composition according to claim 1, wherein the silicone is selected from non-volatile silicones, siloxane gums and resins, aminofunctional silicones, quaternary silicones, and mixtures thereof with one another and with volatile silicones.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
A composition according to claim 1 or claim 2, wherein the particles of conditioning oil have a particle size of <0.1 microns.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
A composition according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the microemulsified conditioning oil is present in the composition in an amount of from 0.3 to 5% by weight.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
A composition according to any preceding claim, wherein the cationic deposition polymer is a cationic cellulose ether derivative.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
A composition according to any preceding claim, wherein the surfactant is selected from anionic, cationic, non-ionic, amphoteric and zwitterionic surfactants, and mixtures thereof.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
14 words
A composition according to any preceding claim wherein the surfactant is an anionic surfactant.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
24 words
A composition according to claim 7 in which the emulsifier in component (b) is the same anionic surfactant as that used for component (a).
