DRY SHAMPOO COMPOSITION.

LQUSMSQ.

1N0 Drawing.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN J. WITTWER, Sn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Seattle, in the county of King and State of Washington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Dry Shampoo Oompositions, of which the following is a specifioation.

This invention relates to improvements in compositions known as dry shampoo preparations, utilized for treating the hair to remove dirt and excess oil therefrom and to leave the hair in a light, fluffy condition without the excessive dryness and brittleness usually accompanying the application of soap and water.

The invention consists in the mixture of the ingredients hereinafter set forth and substantially in the proportions stated, although it is to be understood that such proportions may be varied within the scope of the claims and spirit of the invention to adapt the preparation to various purposes for which it may be employed.

My composition conslsts in the following ingredients combined substantially in the proportions stated: the flaked perisperm or inner layer of the three bran layers of wheat, sometimes called red-dog, ninety-five per cent, and powdered soapstone, five per cent.

A suitable perfume may be and is desirably added, but is not necessarily an essential part of the invention and may be added to the mixture in varying amounts without disturbing the balance of perisperm and soapstone as specified; also coloring matter may be added to the mixture as by an anilin Specification of Letters Patent.

dye which is thoroughly incorporated With the powdered soapstone before mixing with the perisperm which, being highly absorbinate any animal life dormant therein and,

upon being mechanically mixed with the soapstone, is ready for use.

The preparation is applied by dusting upon the hair and thoroughly working therethrough either with the hands or by brushing. The perisperm has the quality to absorb moisture and oil and also cleans the hair and scalp of any dirt that may adhere thereto. The soapstone also assists in the absorption of moisture and prevents the abrasion of the hair follicles. It also imparts a smooth brushing quality to the hair not easily obtainable through other sources.

Having described my invention, what I claim is- 1. The herein-described composition, consisting of the perisperm of wheat, and powdered soapstone. I

2. The herein-described composition, consisting in the perisperm of wheat, ninety-five per cent, and powdered soapstone, five per cent.
