Abstract
Disclosed are styling shampoo compositions comprising (a) from about 5% to about 50% by weight of a surfactant component having an anionic moiety at the pH of the composition; (b) from about 0.025% to about 3% by weight of a cationic deposition polymer; (c) from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of a malodor-producing hair styling polymer; (d) from about 0.0075% to about 2.5% by weight of an odor masking base; and (e) from about 25% to about 94.5% by weight water. The odor masking base comprises (by weight of the base) from about 15% to about 75% by weight of an ionone perfume having a boiling point of more than about 250.degree. C., from about 5% to about 65% by weight of a musk having a boiling point of more than about 250.degree. C., and from about 20% to about 80% by weight of a highly volatile perfume having a boiling point of less than about 250.degree. C. The present invention is also directed to styling shampoo compositions which may further comprise a malodor-producing liquid carrier to solubilize or disperse the malodor-producing polymer in the composition. The odor masking base of the composition helps to mask the malodor of the malodor-producing polymer and/or malodor-producing liquid carrier.
