A composition comprising: (i) 0.01 to 10 wt % of a linear, cationic conditioning surfactant; (ii) 0.1 to 10 wt % of a linear fatty material; (iii) a particulate benefit agent selected from conditioning actives, scalp actives, encapsulated fragrance, emulsified fragrance, and mixtures thereof; (iv) 0.01 to 5 wt %, at 100% active, of a branched cationic co-surfactant, selected from structure 1, structure 2, structure 3 and mixtures thereof wherein: R, R, Rand Rcomprise linear alkyl chains, saturated or unsaturated, with carbon-carbon chain lengths of from Cto C, preferably from Cto C; Rand Rcomprise linear or branched alkyl chains, saturated or unsaturated, with carbon-carbon chain lengths of from Cto C; preferably from Cto Cn and m have a range of from 0 to 10, preferably selected from 0 and 1; p has a range of from 1 to 6, preferably selected from 1 and 2; Rcomprises an alkyl chain having a carbon-carbon chain length of from Cto C, preferably Cto C; Rcomprises a proton or an alkyl chain having a carbon-carbon chain length of from Cto C, preferably Cto C; and X is an organic or inorganic anion; wherein the molar ratios of branched cationic co-surfactants (iv) to linear cationic surfactants (i) are in the range of from 1:20 to 1:1. results in improved particulate benefit agent deposition onto hair.

Hair conditioning composition for improved deposition

A hair treatment composition comprising: a) a conditioning base comprising: i) a cationic conditioning surfactant having from 16 to 32 carbon atoms; ii) a fatty alcohol having from 8 to 22 carbon atoms; and b) from 0.1 to 10 wt % of a microcapsule in which a core comprising benefit agent is encapsulated in a polymeric shell; and (c) from 0.1 to 5 wt % of a diesterquat, provides improved deposition of microcapsules and delivery of benefit agent to hair surfaces.
