Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 154 words
A hair conditioning composition in the form of an emulsion comprising: a. From about 1% to about 13% of a volatile hair conditioning agent having a boiling point in the range of from about 99° C. to about 260° C. and a solubility in water of less than about 0.1% selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbons, silicones and mixtures thereof; b. From about 0.1% to about 8% of a substantially nonionic, water-soluble polymer having a viscosity in excess of about 200 poises at a shear of about 10 -2 sec -1 while having a viscosity less than about 9 poises at a shear of about 500 sec -1 ; c. From about 0.05% to about 4% of a quaternary ammonium salt having at least one hydrocarbon chain having from about 12 to about 22 carbon atoms; d. From about 0.05% to about 4% of a salt of a fatty amine; and e. Water.
