Abstract

A cosmetic composition for the care of skin and hair is provided which contains from 0.1% to 10% of a silicone-containing phospholipid composition having the general formula: ##STR1## wherein: A is selected from H, M or R--Y--; A.sub.1 is selected from H, OH, OM or R--Y--O--; M is a cation; Y is alkylene or substantially alkylene; x is 0 or an integer from 1-5; and R is a quaternized organosilicone amidoamine reactant moiety of the formula: ##STR2## wherein: R.sub.10 is the silicone backbone chain to which at least one pyrrolidone containing amidoamine functional group is attached; R.sub.6 is hydrogen or alkyl, hydroxyalkyl or alkenyl of up to 6 carbon atoms each, cycloalkyl of up to 6 carbon atoms, or polyoxyalkylene of up to 10 carbon atoms within the oxyalkylene unit; R.sub.7 and R.sub.8 are selected from alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, carboxyalkyl of up to 6 carbon atoms in each alkyl moiety and polyoxyalkylene of up to 10 carbon atoms; F is linear or branched alkylene of 1-12 carbon atoms; X.sup.- is an anion; n is 0 or 2; n.sup.1 is 0 or 1; n.sup.2 is 0 or 1; n.sup.3 is an integer from 2 to 12. B is --NR.sub.11 sulfur or oxygen, wherein R11 hydrogen or lower alkyl (C.sub.1-6); with the proviso that when n.sup.1 is 0 and n.sup.2 is 1, n.sup.1 is 1, when n is 2 and n.sup.2 is 1, n.sup.1 is 0 or 1 and when n is 2 and n.sup.2 is 0, n.sup.1 is 0; and; d is one or greater.
