Abstract

A hair care composition is disclosed comprising an anti-dandruff agent selected from piroctone olamine, selenium sulfide and mixtures thereof and a copolymer comprising acrylamidopropyltrimonium chloride, wherein the weight ratio of the amount of the copolymer to the amount of the anti-dandruff agent is in the range of from 1:5 to 1:1.

Claims (29)

1. A hair care composition comprising:

a) an anti-dandruff agent selected from piroctone olamine, selenium sulfide, and mixtures thereof; and

b) a copolymer wherein the copolymer is acrylamidopropyltrimonium chloride/acrylamide copolymer;

wherein the weight ratio of the amount of the copolymer to the amount of the anti-dandruff agent is in the range of from 1:5 to 1:1.

2. The hair care composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises the anti-dandruff agent in an amount of from 0.01 to 10% by weight of the composition.
