Patent No. EP4065071 (titled "A Conditioning Composition") was filed by Beiersdorf on Oct 28, 2020. The application was issued on Sep 17, 2025.
A silicone-free conditioning composition comprises at least one emollient selected from ester oils, semi-synthetic triglycerides, C8-C20 alkanes, and/or poly-C2-C16-olefins (especially hydrogenated). It contains 0.05–3.0 wt% of at least one emulsifier, preferably an O/W emulsifier chosen from glyceryl stearate citrate, glyceryl stearate SE, polyglyceryl-3 methyl glucose distearate, or a combination of polyglyceryl-3 distearate and glyceryl stearate citrate, and/or at least one cationic surfactant. The composition includes a fatty alcohol combination where fatty alcohols with $\ge$18 carbons are <2.0 wt% and those with $\le$16 carbons are <6.0 wt%. Water constitutes at least 75 wt%, preferably 85–98 wt% (more preferably 88–95 wt%), of the total composition weight. The resulting formulation provides a light texture and caring effect without weighing down hair.

Patent oppositions filed by competitors challenge the validity of a granted patent. These oppositions are typically based on claims of prior art, lack of novelty, or non-obviousness. They are a key part of the process for determining a patent's strength and enforceability.
