The present invention relates to a water-in-oil surfactant consisting of a mixture of compounds of formula (I): ##STR00001##
wherein the compound of formula (I) has an average degree of polymerisation n of between 4 and 6,
R1, R2 and R3 being, independently of one another, a hydrogen atom or a group R4 derived from at least one carboxylic acid,
the carboxylic acid being 12-hydroxystearic acid or a mixture of 12-hydroxystearic acid and ricinoleic acid. The present invention also relates to a surfactant composition and to a cosmetic composition comprising this surfactant.

A hair conditioner composition comprising: a. an aqueous carrier; b. from about 1 wt % to about 12 wt % of BVE; and c. from about 1 wt % to about 12 wt % of at least two fatty alcohols.

A hair conditioner composition comprising: a. an aqueous carrier; b. from about 0.25 wt % to about 8 wt % of BVE; and c. from about 0.25 wt % to about 8 wt % of fatty alcohol(s).

A cleansing composition comprising a sulfate surfactant; a fatty acid soap; a silver compound; a thickening agent; and a nitrate. A pH of the cleansing composition is 5 to 10. Another cleansing composition comprising a sulfate surfactant; a silver compound; a thickening agent; a nitrate; and a preservative. A pH of this cleansing composition is 4 to 5.5.

A hair care formulation is provided, comprising: a dermatologically acceptable vehicle; a dermatologically acceptable oil; and a deposition aid polymer, wherein the deposition aid polymer is a dextran polymer functionalized with an amine group; wherein the dextran polymer has a weight average molecular weight of 100,000 to 650,000 Daltons; and wherein the deposition aid polymer enhances deposition of the dermatologically acceptable oil from the hair care formulation onto mammalian hair.
