The present invention relates to cosmetic compositions containing: (a) at least one ceramide in a total amount of from 0.0001 to 3.0% by weight, based on the total weight of the cosmetic composition, (b) at least one proteolipid of the formula (I) wherein R 1 is a straight-chain hydrocarbon radical having 8 to 22 carbon atoms, R 2 is - (CH 2 ) y -CH 3 where y = 0 to 22, Y is -H or -OH, X - for a physiologically acceptable anion, Hy for an oligopeptide residue from keratin hydrolyzate and x stands for values from 0 to 22. in a total amount of 0.00001 to 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the cosmetic composition, and (c) at least one surfactant selected from the group of (i) anionic surfactants; (ii) nonionic surfactants; (iii) cationic surfactants; (iv) amphoteric surfactants; as well as their mixtures, which have an excellent cleaning effect and lead to improved combability and entanglement as well as improved grip and gloss. |
