Cationic hydrophobically modified galactomannan ethers having a cationic substitution degree (DS C ) of 0.01 to 0.5 and a hydrophobic substitution degree (DS H ) of less than 0.001 are readily soluble in aqueous systems and are cosmetics. Useful for thickening, stabilizing and conditioning detergent compositions and household cleaners; they also improve the adhesion of other ingredients to the treated surface (skin, hair or fabric). |
