Disclosed is hair conditioning compositions comprising antidandruff agent
wherein the hair conditioning composition is substantially free of the group selected
from a chelating agent, methylchloroisothiazolinone, and methylisothiazolinone.
The compositions comprise by weight: (a) from about 0.1% to about 15% of a high
melting point fatty compound; (b) compounds selected of; (b1a) from about 0.1%
to about 10% of an amidoamine having the following general formula: R1CONH(CH2)mN(R2)2
wherein R1 is a residue of C11 to C24 fatty acids,
R2 is a C1 to C4 alkyl, and m is an integer from
1 to 4; (b1b) an acid selected from the group consisting of 1 glutamic
acid, lactic acid, hydrochloric acid, malic acid, acetic acid, fumaric acid, 1
glutamic acid hydrochloride, tartaric acid, and mixtures thereof, at a level such
that the mole ratio of amidoamine to acid is from about 1:0.3 to about 1:1; or
(b2) the combination of; (b2a) from about 0.1% to about 10% of a cationic conditioning
agent; and (b2b) from about 0.1% to about 10% of a low melting point oil having
a melting point of less than 25 C.; (c) a safe and effective amount of an
antidandruff agent; (e) a preservative system comprising, by weight of the entire
composition, from about 0.1% to about 1.0% of benzyl alcohol, from about 0.1% to
about 1.0% of phenoxy ethanol, from about 0.05% to about 1.0% of methyl paraben,
and from about 0.05% to about 1.0% of mettryl paraben, and from about 0.01% to
about 1.0% of propyl paraben; and (f) an aqueous carrier.
