Abstract
This invention relates to hair care compositions containing a branched organopolysiloxane, 'oil in water' emulsion. Despite the prior art, there still exists the opportunity to increase the benefits delivered through conditioning hair care compositions. A particular need exists for hair care compositions which can deliver enhanced silicone deposition, especially to the damaged parts of the hair. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a hair care composition which can deliver enhanced silicone deposition onto the hair, in particular damaged hair. It has been found that this can be achieved by a hair care composition comprising a conditioning gel phase with an aqueous emulsion of a branched organopolysiloxane comprising an aqueous continuous phase of water and a cationic surfactant or a blend of non-ionic and cationic surfactants and a dispersed phase of the branched organopolysiloxane and a hydrocarbon oil, and the aqueous emulsion having a particle size of 5 to less than 12 microns Dv(50).
