A method for producing aqueous silicone emulsions containing highly viscous polyorganosiloxanes having a low content of cyclic siloxanes in several steps; the addition of acidic compounds intended to catalyze polycondensation of the polyorganosiloxanes being carried out only after an emulsion is produced in the first step exclusively with nonionogenic emulsifiers, without impairing the rate of the polycondensation reaction.

Fabric care compositions comprising bi-modal water continuous emulsions are disclosed. In particular, the fabric care compositions comprise a bi-modal water continuous emulsion (E) comprising at least 70 weight percent of: a first dispersed phase containing a hydrophobic oil, wherein the hydrophobic oil is provided as a non-emulsified hydrophobic oil, and a second dispersed phase containing a silicone, wherein the silicone is provided from a water continuous silicone emulsion containing at least one surfactant. The fabric care compositions further comprise at least one fabric care ingredient (F). Optionally, the fabric care ingredient (F) is in an acceptable medium. Preparation methods and uses of the fabric care compositions are also disclosed.

A personal care composition is provided, comprising: a cosmetically acceptable carrier; a cosmetically acceptable silicone; a modified carbohydrate polymer; wherein the modified carbohydrate polymer comprises a cellulose ether base material functionalized with (i) quaternary ammonium groups, wherein the quaternary ammonium groups and wherein the modified carbohydrate polymer has a Kjeldahl nitrogen content corrected for ash and volatiles, TKN, of 1.0 to 4.0 wt %; and (ii) hydrophobic substituents, wherein the hydrophobic substituents comprise an alkyl group having an average of 10 to 20 carbon atoms; wherein the modified carbohydrate polymer comprises >0.005 to <0.05 moles of the hydrophobic substituents per mole of the cellulose ether base material; wherein the hydrophobic groups are randomly distributed across the backbone of the cellulose ether base material; and wherein the cellulose ether base material has a weight average molecular weight, Mw, of >200,000 Daltons.
