There are disclosed stable fluidized polymer suspensions containing
cationic polysaccharide, stabilizing agent and water-soluble polyol. The
preferred cationic polysaccharides are cationic guar and cationic
hydroxypropyl guar. Processes for preparing personal care compositions
utilizing the fluidized polymer suspensions are also disclosed. Using the
fluidized polymer suspensions in the processes provides advantages of more
rapid dissolution and avoidance of lumps and gels when compared to using
dry, powdered cationic polysaccharides.
