Description

COMPOSITION COMPRISING DISCRETE PARTICLES AND A NON-AQUEOUS BASE FIELD The present disclosure relates generally to a personal care composition containing discrete particles of a mixture composition and a non-aqueous base. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to discrete particles of a mixture composition comprising a surfactant and a high melting point fatty compound dispersed in a non-aqueous base comprising at least 75% of a fluid that is not a hydrogen donor. BACKGROUND A variety of approaches have been developed to condition the hair. A common method of providing conditioning benefit is through the use of conditioning agents such as cationic surfactants and polymers, high melting point fatty compounds, low melting point oils, silicone compounds, and mixtures thereof. Most of these conditioning agents are known to provide various conditioning benefits by deposition of the traditional gel network within an aqueous chassis. Another approach widely used by consumers is to apply hair oils or other anhydrous products to wet or dry hair to improve their manageability and softness. But these hair oils do not include the benefits provided by the cationic surfactants and fatty compounds. Thus, there is a continuing need for non-aqueous hair care compositions that can still deliver the conditioning benefits that consumers want and expect. SUMMARY A product composition comprising a discrete particle of a mixture composition, wherein the mixture composition comprises a surfactant and a high melting point fatty compound; and a non-aqueous base, wherein the non-aqueous base comprises at least 75% of a fluid that is not a hydrogen donor.

FIG. 3 is a photograph of the appearance of a comparative composition after the 4 Week Stability Test. DETAILED DESCRIPTION Reference within the specification to “embodiment(s)” or the like means that a particular material, feature, structure and/or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment, optionally a number of embodiments, but it does not mean that all embodiments incorporate the material, feature, structure, and/or characteristic described. Furthermore, materials, features, structures and/or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner across different embodiments, and materials, features, structures and/or characteristics may be omitted or substituted from what is described. Thus, embodiments and aspects described herein may comprise or be combinable with elements or components of other embodiments and/or aspects despite not being expressly exemplified in combination, unless otherwise stated or an incompatibility is stated. All ingredient percentages described herein are by weight of the cosmetic composition, unless specifically stated otherwise, and may be designated as “wt% ” All ratios are weight ratios, unless specifically stated otherwise. All such percentages or weights as they pertain to listed ingredients are based on the active level and, therefore, do not include carriers or by-products that may be included in commercially available materials. The number of significant digits conveys neither a limitation on the indicated amounts nor on the accuracy of the measurements. Unless otherwise indicated, all measurements are understood to be made at approximately 25°C and at ambient conditions, where “ambient conditions” means conditions under 1 atmosphere of pressure and at 50% relative humidity. All ranges are inclusive and combinable. For example, all numeric ranges are inclusive of narrower ranges, and delineated upper and lower range limits are interchangeable to create further ranges not explicitly delineated. The compositions of the present invention can comprise, consist essentially of, or consist of, the essential components as well as optional ingredients described herein. As used herein, “consisting essentially of’ means that the composition or component may include additional ingredients, but only if the additional ingredients do not materially alter the basic and novel characteristics of the claimed compositions or methods. As used in the description and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. “About” modifies a particular value by referring to a range of plus or minus 20% or less of the stated value (e.g., plus or minus 15% or less, 10% or less, or even 5% or less). "Mixture" means a simple combination of materials and any compounds that may result from their combination. “Molecular weight” means the weight average molecular weight, unless otherwise stated. Molecular weight can be measured using industry standard method, gel permeation chromatography (“GP
