- 6. A personal care composition comprising a diluent and derivatized Arabinogalactan comprising at least one cationic moiety, the derivatized Arabinogalactan produced by combining Arabinogalactan with a derivatizing reagent selected from the group consisting of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, a quaternary amine, sodium monochloroacetate, dimethylsulfate, methyl chloride, ketene, vinyl acetate, and a combination thereof.
- 7. The personal care composition of claim 6, wherein the derivatized Arabinogalactan is selected from the group consisting of a single derivative of Arabinogalactan, a double derivative of Arabinogalactan, and a combination thereof.
- 8. The personal care composition of claim 6, wherein the derivatized Arabinogalactan is selected from the group consisting of hydroxypropyl Arabinogalactan, carboxymethyl hydroxypropyl Arabinogalactan, quaternary ammonium Arabinogalactan, carboxymethyl Arabinogalactan, and a combination thereof.
- 9. The personal care composition of claim 6, comprising from about 0.05% to about 25% by weight derivatized Arabinogalactan.
- 10. The personal care composition of claim 6, further comprising at least one additive selected from the group consisting of a surfactant, an emulsifier, a foam modifier, a humectant, a moisturizer, a thickener, an emollient, a conditioning agent, a specialized functional ingredient, a preservative, an antioxidant, a chelator, a sequestrant, and an aesthetic component.
- 11. The personal care composition of claim 6, wherein the derivatized Arabinogalactan is quaternized ammonium Arabinogalactan.
- 12. The personal care composition of claim 11, wherein the personal care composition is a hair care composition.
- 13. The personal care composition of claim 12, wherein the hair care composition is selected from the group consisting of a shampoo, a conditioner, a hair tonic, a setting lotion, a setting gel, a mousse, a hair spray, a permanent hair color treatment, a non-permanent hair color treatment, a permanent wave treatment, a hair relaxer, and a pomade.
