Hair conditioning composition containing a non-guar galactomannan polymer derivative

摘要

A hair conditioning composition comprising: a) from about 0.01 wt. % to about 10 wt. % of a non-guar galactomannan polymer derivative having a mannose to galactose ratio of greater than 2:1 on a monomer to monomer basis, said non-guar galactomannan polymer derivative selected from the group consisting of a cationic non-guar galactomannan polymer derivative and an amphoteric non-guar galactomannan polymer derivative having a net positive charge; i. wherein said non-guar galactomannan polymer derivative has a molecular weight from about 1,000 to about 10,000,000; and ii. wherein said non-guar galactomannan polymer derivative has a cationic charge density from about 0.7 meq/g to about 7 meq/g; b) a conditioning agent selected from the group consisting of cationic surfactants, cationic polymers, nonvolatile silicones, nonvolatile hydrocarbons, saturated C₁₄ to C₂₂ straight chain fatty alcohols, nonvolatile hydrocarbon esters, and mixtures thereof; and c) wherein said hair conditioning composition is substantially free of an anionic surfactant.
