New quaternary benzyl chloride salts for inclusion in hair cream rinse formulations

Abstract
Quaternary ammonium salts have been prepared from benzyl chloride and amino amides and an amino ester of a long chain fatty acid. These benzyl salts were incorporated in simple hair conditioner formulations containing the quaternary salt, anhydrous lanolin, cetyl alcohol, and water. Preliminary evaluations indicated that the formulations were effective in the removal of tangles and snarls following washing with ordinary shampoo. The dried hair was easily manageable and had good luster.
