Abstract:
An aqueous composition includes: (a) surfactants comprising a salt of a C 1O-16 alcohol ethoxylate sulfate, a betaine surfactant, and an alkyl polyglucoside, wherein the salt of the C 1O-16 alcohol ethoxylate sulfate is present in a quantity that is greater than any other surfactant; (b) at least 15 weight % of the composition of a C 12-18 fatty acid. A cleansing method includes applying the composition to skin or hair and washing, and optionally rinsing with water.
Abstract:
An active agent to reduce malodor associated with a short or medium chain volatile fatty acid, the active agent including an oleic fatty chain molecule having one or more hydroxide head groups.
Abstract:
A composition comprising a) a surfactant comprising an anionic surfactant; b) at least 8 weight % of the composition of a C12-18 fatty alcohol, and c) water. A cleansing method includes applying the composition to skin or hair and washing, and optionally rinsing with water.
Abstract:
A solid or soft solid antiperspirant/deodorant composition comprising at least one antiperspirant or deodorant active, a base component in an amount of from 2% and 15% by weight of the composition, wherein the base component is C8 to C14 fatty acid in free acid form, and a gellant, wherein the gellant comprises less than 50 % by weight of the gellant stearyl alcohol. The C8 to C14 fatty acid in free acid form can be lauric acid. The C8 to C14 fatty acid in free acid form provides antibacterial properties to the compositions.
Abstract:
A liquid cleansing composition comprising a cleansing effective amount of surfactant and an alkoxylated alkyl ether having 5 to 20 alkoxy moieties and a C 3 to C 12 alkyl. The alkoxylated alkyl ether can be PPG-14 butyl ether. The alkoxylated alkyl ether can reduce stringiness of the cleansing composition, increase fragrance bloom from the cleansing composition, increase oil solubilization, increase foam volume of the cleansing composition, or reduce dry skin.
