A silicone-containing phospholipid composition is provided having the general formula: ##STR1## wherein: A can be H, M or R--Y--; A, can be H, OH, OM or R--Y--O; A 1 is selected from H, OH, OM or R--Y--O--; M is a cation; Y is alkylene or substantially alkylene; x is 0 or an integer from 1-5; and R is a quaternized organosilicone amidoamine reactant moiety of the formula: ##STR2## wherein: R 10 is the silicone backbone chain to which at least one pyrrolidone containing amidoamine functional group is attached; n R 6 is hydrogen, alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, alkenyl cycloalkyl or polyoxyalkylene; n R 7 and R 8 are selected from alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, carboxyalkyl and polyoxyalkylene; n F is linear or branched alkylene; X - is an anion; n is 0 or 2; n 1 is 0 or 1; n 2 is 0 or 1; n 3 is an integer from 2 to 12. B is --NR 11 sulfur or oxygen, wherein R11 is hydrogen or lower alkyl; with the proviso that when n 1 is 0 and n 2 is 1, n 1 is 1, when n is 2 and n 2 is 1, n 1 is 0 or 1 and when n is 2 and n 2 is 0, n 1 is 0; and; d is one or greater. |
