Shampoo-conditioning composition and method of making

Claim 1

A shampoo-conditioning composition, comprising: A) from about 0.1 to about 10 percent of the composition of an oily, water-insoluble conditioning agent selected from a group consisting of mineral oils; saturated or unsaturated vegetable oils selected from the group consisting of peanut oil, corn oil, coconut oil, and soybean oil; alkyl esters of fatty acids; and polyalkylsiloxanes, polyarylsiloxanes, polyalkylarylsiloxanes, polysiloxane gums, and polyethersiloxane copolymers; B) from about 5 to about 70 active weight percent of the composition of one or more anionic surfactants selected from the group consisting of alkyl sulfates, alkyl ether sulfates, alkaryl sulphonates, alkyl succinates, alkyl sulphosuccinates, N-alkoyl sarcosinate, alkyl phosphates, and alkyl ether phosphates, wherein the alkyl group contains from 8 to 22 carbons and may be unsaturated; C) from about 0.1 to about 1.5 weight percent of the composition of a carboxyvinyl polymer to suspend and stabilize the oily conditioning agent, the carboxyvinylpolymer comprising between about 95 and about 99 weight percent of one or more carboxylic acid monomeric units about 5 to about 1 weight percent of one or more acrylic esters monomeric units, and a small amount of crosslinked monomeric units derived from polyalkenyl polyethers having more than one alkenyl ether group per molecule, the weight percentages of the monomeric units being based upon the total weight of the carboxypolymer, the carboxylic acid monomeric unit being derived from carboxylic acids selected from olefinically unsaturated acids defined as follows: ##STR12## where R 2 is selected from hydrogen, halogens, cyanogen group -C=N, alkyl radicals of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, aryl radicals of 6 to 14 carbon atoms, aralkyl radicals of 7 to 14 carbon atoms, alkaryl radicals 7 to 12, and cycloaliphatic radicals of 4 to 8 carbon atoms; the acrylic ester monomeric units being derived from acrylic esters defined as follows: ##STR13## where R 2 is defined above in connection with said carboxylic acid and wherein R 3 is selected from alkyl groups of 10 to 30 carbon atoms; D) from about 0.1 to about 10 weight percent of the composition of a cationic conditioning agent selected from a group consisting of cationic or quaternized polysaccharides or polysaccharide derivates, cationic or quaternized polyamides, cationic or quaternized polymeric derivatives of acrylates, methacrylates, acrylamides, methacrylamides, or copolymers thereof, and tetraalkylammonium salts and butylene/propylene/ethylene oxide derivatives thereof; and E) from about 30 to about 90 weight percent of the composition of water.
