(57) Abstract: An improved hair care composition contains an alkyl ethoxylate and a gel matrix, the gel matrix containing a cationic surfactant, a solid aliphatic compound, and water. Alkyl ethoxylates is represented by the formula R-O- (C 2 H 4 O) n H, wherein, R represents an alkyl group having from about 30 1 to about carbon atoms, n represents about 1 to about 10 Represents a number. The weight average molecular weight of the alkyl ethoxylate is less than about 500 g / mol and the HLB value is about 5 to about 12. Improved hair care compositions can be prepared by a new process. |
