Abstract:
A personal care composition is provided, comprising (A) an effective amount of a polyalkylsiloxane copolymer having a melting point of from about -40. degree. C. to about +40. degree. C. , and being selected from various specific polyalkylsiloxane copolymer fluids of polyalkylsiloxane copolymer resins; and (B) a cosmetically acceptable carrier medium, wherein the polyalkylsiloxane copolymer contains mixtures of linear lower alkyl side chains and linear higher alkyl side chains or mixtures of linear alkyl side chains and branched alkyl side chains. The polyalkylsiloxane copolymers used in the composition are fluids or soft waxes at body temperature and have improved application and payout and better substantivity and hair conditioning properties.
