Personal care compositions containing a copolymer having hydrophobic, carbon-based grafts

摘要

Disclosed are personal care compositions, especially hair styling compositions containing: (a) a graft copolymer characterized by having a hydrophilic organic polymeric backbone and hydrophobic macromonomers grafted to said backbone; the hydrophilic polymeric backbone having a Tg of at least about -20 DEG C.; the hydrophobic macromonomers having a carbon based main chain; a Tg of less than about 0 DEG C. and a number average molecular weight of at least about 500; and (b) a hydrophilic solvent preferably selected from the group consisting of water, C2-C3 monohydric alcohols and mixtures thereof.
