Described are personal care compositions, comprising water, nonionic cellulose ethers having hydroxyethyl groups and being further substituted with one or more hydrophobic substituents, and at least one hair fixative polymer, moisturizer, conditioner, humectant, cationic conditioning polymer, antioxidant, anti-aging active, or sun care active.

Personal care composition and methods containing hydrophobically-modified hydroxyethylcellulose

Described are novel polymers and home and personal care compositions incorporating said polymers.

Cationic polymer latexes and uses

A polymer with good compatibility comprising one or more non-ionic water soluble monomers, such as poly(ethylene glycol)(meth)acrylate (PEGMA), is provided that is suitable for use in aerosol hair styling formulations which have improved clarity. There is also provided a hair styling composition comprising (a) one or more fully soluble polymer, and (b) a solvent mixture, and optional other ingredients.

Fixative polymer compatible with hair styling composition

Described are hair fixative compositions comprising an aqueous dispersion comprising an ethylene acrylic acid co-polymer, and optionally a metallocene catalyzed polyolefin.

Hair fixatives

The present invention provides a hair styling composition comprising (a) 1% to 10% by weight of at least one polymer comprising, as polymerized units, one or more monomers having at least one acid-functional group; (b) 99% to 90% by weight of a solvent mixture comprising: (i) 5% to 100% by weight of at least one volatile organic solvent; (ii) 95% to 0% by weight of water, and (iii) 0% to 80% by weight of at least one propellant; and (c) a neutralizer, wherein the mole ratio of said neutralizer to the acid-functional groups on said polymer (a) is from 0:1 to 1.2:1, and the neutralizer comprises: (i) 10% to 30% neutralization of the acid group of the polymer by tetrabutylammonium hydroxide, and (ii) 90% to 70% neutralization of the acid group of the polymer by aminomethyl propanol. More particularly, the polymer (a) may comprise, as polymerized units, (i) 30% to 75% by weight of one or more monomer that has refractive index of 1.490 or higher, (ii) 1% to 30% by weight of one or more acid-functional monomer, and (iii) 5% to 69% by weight of one or more additional monomer. The hair styling composition of the present invention has improved clarity and humidity resistance.
