If a hair care composition is The present invention is related to new hair care compo thin and nonviscous, a consumer may conclude that the sitions that have improved foam, viscosity, clarity and product is inferior. Furthermore, successful hair care com conditioning characteristics due to the inclusion of a new positions must have good shelf life and should not become type of alkyl aldonamide compound. speci?cally heteroatom turbid or produce sedimentation upon standing.

Surprising the hair care compositions BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION of the present invention that comprise a heteroatom con The hair of the head has been associated with beauty and taining alkyl aldonamide compound produce clear, stable, social distinction. For this reason, a special importance is thick liquid compositions with good conditioning properties. attached in the cosmetic area to hair care products such as 15 This is unusual and unexpected, since alkyl aldonamides rinses, conditioners, shampoos, conditioning shampoos and that lack heteroatoms generally form opaque, nontransparent the like. liquid compositions which are instead useful as opacifying The primary function of a hair care composition is to or pearlescent agents. cleanse the hair and scalp from soil without stinging or Background Art Alkyl Aldonamides irritating the eyes and scalp.

This has become a difficult challenge to meet one saccharide unit (e.g., ribonamides, gluconarnides or and it is not surprising to ?nd that considerable resource and glucoheptonamides), two saccharide units (e.g., effort have been directed towards the discovery and devel opment of new ingredients that provide improved foam, lactobionamides, maltobionamides, melibionarnides, viscosity, clarity and conditioning characteristics.
