Such as most preferably in the range of 5 to 20 wt.-%, based on the total weight of the shampoo This application is the U.S. national phase of International preparation. Application No. PCT/EP2013/056260 filed 25 Mar. 2013 Preferably at least one anionic surfactant is present in the which designated the U.S. and claims priority to EP Patent 5 shampoo preparation according to the present invention. Application No. 12162881.2 filed 2 Apr. 2012, the entire Examples of Suitable anionic Surfactants are the alkyl contents of each of which are hereby incorporated by Sulfates, alkyl ether Sulfates, alkylaryl Sulphonates, alkanoyl reference. isothionates, alkyl Succinates, alkyl Sulphosuccinates, alkyl The invention relates to shampoo preparations comprising ether Sulphosuccinates, N-alkyl sarcosinates, alkyl phos water, an acrylic emulsion polymer and at least one surfac 10 tant.
