THICKENING MIXTURE BASED ON GUAR GUM OR NON-IONIC CELLULOSE AND A CROSS-LINKED POLYMER, AND COSMETIC OR DERMATOLOGICAL HAIR- OR SKIN-CARE COMPOSITION CONTAINING SAID MIXTURE

摘要

A thickening mixture containing, in an aqueous medium, (a) a component (A) consisting of at least one guar gum or non-ionic cellulose having no hydrophobic group, with a viscosity in solution of over 15 cps at 1.5 wt % in water, as measured by DRAGE module 2 at 25 DEG C; (b) a component (B) consisting of at least one cross-linked polymer selected from (i) acrylamide and ammonium acrylate copolymers; (ii) acrylamide and partially or totally neutralised 2-acylamido 2-methylpropane sulphonic acid copolymers; (iii) acrylamide and methacryloyl oxyethyl trimethylammonium chloride copolymers; and (iv) methacryloyl oxyethyl trimethylammonium chloride homopolymers; wherein the weight ratio of cross-linked polymer active material to guar gum or cellulose is 0.2-10. A cosmetic or dermatological hair- or skin-care composition containing said mixture is also provided.
