PURPOSE: To obtain the subject composition, comprising a cationic surface active fiber conditioning agent, a water-insoluble poly-lower alkylene and its solubilizer and raised in conditioning effects. n CONSTITUTION: This fiber conditioning composition comprises (A) a cationic surface active fiber conditioning agent, e.g. a quaternary ammonium salt, (B) a water-insoluble poly-lower alkylene and an oxidized poly-lower alkylene which are a solid in the original state, preferably polyethylene or polypropylene and (C) a solubilizer for the composition B capable of making the component B dispersible in water in the presence of the component A and water, preferably a hydrocarbon which has 150-1,000, especially 500-600 molecular weight and is a liquid in the original state. The conditioning effects of the component A are significantly raised by the solubilized component B. The composition is especially useful as a shampoo for hair conditioning containing the composition in an aqueous medium containing an anionic synthetic organic surfactant or detergent. n COPYRIGHT: (C)1991,JPO |
