Active agents for skin and hair care with sensory modifying properties

A method for modifying sensory properties of a skin or hair care product comprising:

• (i) providing ingredients of a skin or hair care product, wherein the ingredients comprise:
• (a) one or more surfactants chosen from sodium lauryl ether sulfate cocamidopropyl betaine, lauryl glucoside, caprylyl/capryl glucoside, sodium lauryl sulfate, disodium laureth sulfosuccinate, sodium lauryl sulfoacetate, decyl glucoside, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, glycol distearate, coco-betaine, PPG-5-ceteth-20, coco-glucoside, diethylhexyl sodium sulfosuccinate, ammonium cocoyl isethionate, ammonium cocoyl sarcosinate, diethylhexyl sodium sulfosuccinate, cocamide-MEA, PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate, glycol distearate, and sodium oleoyl sarcosinate, and/or
• (b) one or more emulsifiers chosen from PEG-100 stearate, cetearyl glycoside, distearyldimonium chloride, palmitamidopropyltrimonium chloride, glyceryl stearate citrate, glyceryl oleate citrate, polyglyceryl-3 methylglucose distearate, cetearyl alcohol, potassium cetyl phosphate, sodium cetyl phosphate, acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate cross-polymer, ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/beheneth-25 methacrylate crosspolymer, polyglyceryl-4 caprate, polyglyceryl-4 caprylate/caprate, cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1, dimethicone, polyglycer-yl-6 dioleate, polyglyceryl -2 stearate, PEG-30 dipoly-hydroxystearate, sodium stearoyl lactylate, xanthan gum, dehydro xanthan gum, hydrogenated palm glycerides, polyglyerol-3 oleate, polyglyceryl-3 polyricinoleate, sodium caproyl/lauroyl lactylate, glyceryl stearate, polyglyceryl-3 dicitrate/stearate, and PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil;
• (ii) incorporating an amount of 0.3 to 5 wt. %, based on the total weight of the skin or hair care product, of one or more fatty acid esters, provided the amount enhances foam formation of the product and/or improves a sensation of smoothness, moisturization, and/or re-fattening to skin upon application of the product to the skin, wherein the one or more fatty acid esters are chosen from 3-hydroxypropyl caprylate and 3-hydroxypropyl undecylenate, and
• (iii) mixing the components of (i) and (ii).
