Abstract

Abstract Cationic surfactants are provided which are useful alone as the active compounds in creme hair rinse and in conjunction with anionic surfactants in other hair conditioning preparations based on anionic-cationic surfactant systems. Such cationic surfactants are non-irritating to the eyes and are compatible with the other conventional ingredients used in hair conditioning preparations. These cationic surfactants are also compatible with anionic surfactants without objectionably reducing or otherwise interfering with the foam normally formed by the anionic surfactants in hair conditioning preparations. Useful cationic surfactants of the present invention have the following general formula: ##STR1## wherein ##STR2## is a fatty acid group containing from 6 to 20 carbon atoms, and n 1 , n 2 and n 3 are the same or different integers not exceeding 3. Two cationic surfactants of the invention presently preferred are: isostearylamidopropylmorpholine lactate and stearylamidopropylmorpholine lactate.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 101 words
An aqueous hair conditioning composition having as the primary surfactant ingredients therein an anionic-cationic surfactant system and containing, an anionic surfactant, and an operative proportion of a cationic surfactant characterized by its being non-irritating to the eyes and compatible with said anionic surfactant without objectionable reduction of the foam normally produced by said anionic detergent and composed of an innocuous anion and a cation having the following structural formula: ##STR9## wherein ##STR10## is a fatty acid group containing from 6 to 20 carbon atoms, n 1 , n 2 and n 3 are the same or different integers not exceeding 3.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 101 words
An aqueous hair conditioning composition having as the primary surfactant ingredients therein an anionic-cationic surfactant system and containing, an anionic surfactant, and an operative proportion of a cationic surfactant characterized by its being non-irritating to the eyes and compatible with said anionic surfactant without objectionable reduction of the foam normally produced by said anionic detergent and composed of an innocuous anion and a cation having the following structural formula: ##STR9## wherein ##STR10## is a fatty acid group containing from 6 to 20 carbon atoms, n 1 , n 2 and n 3 are the same or different integers not exceeding 3.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 23 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein said innocuous anion is an inorganic anion selected from the group consisting of chloride and sulfate anions.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 31 words
