A personal care composition is composed of:
- (a) from about 0.1% to about 99% by weight of a vehicle system which
comprises a hydrophobically modified nonionic water soluble polysaccharide polymer
which comprises a water soluble polysaccharide polymer backbone and a hydrophobic
moiety selected from the group consisting of 3-alkoxy-2-hydroxypropyl group wherein
the allyl moiety is a straight or branch chain having 2-6 carbon atoms, C3-C7
alky aryl alkyl, alkyl aryl groups and mixtures thereof, wherein the ratio of the
hydrophilic portion to the hydrophobic portion of the polymer is from about 2:1
to 1000:1, and
- (b) at least one other personal care ingredient.
This compostion can be used in a wide range of personal care products such as
