Abstract
Methods of enhancing the foam properties and skin compatibility of cleaning compositions are described wherein (a) a cleaning composition comprising an alk(en)yl oligoglycoside is provided; (b) a dicarboxylic acid monoester is provided; and (c) the cleaning composition and the hydroxycarboxylic acid partial ester are combined. Combinations of alk(en)yl oligoglycosides and dicarboxylic acid monoesters are also described.
Claims20
A method of enhancing foam properties and skin compatibility of a cleaning composition, said method comprising:
- (a) providing a cleaning composition comprising an alk(en)yl oligoglycoside;
- (b) providing a dicarboxylic acid monoester;
- and
- (c) combining the cleaning composition and the dicarboxylic acid monoester.
A method of enhancing foam properties and skin compatibility of a cleaning composition, said method comprising:
- (a) providing a cleaning composition comprising an alk(en)yl oligoglycoside corresponding to the general formula (I):
- R′O—[G]p (I)
- wherein R represents an alk(en)yl radical having from 4 to 22 carbon atoms, G represents a sugar moiety having from 5 or 6 carbon atoms and p is a number of from 1 to 10;
- (b) providing a dicarboxylic acid monoester salt selected from the group consisting of alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium, alkylammonium, alkanolammonium and glucammonium salts, wherein the dicarboxylic acid monoester comprises an ester of a dicarboxylic acid selected from the group consisting of oxalic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid, sorbic acid, pimelic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, dilauric acid and mixtures thereof, and a fatty alcohol having a hydrocarbon portion which corresponds to the alk(en)yl radical represented by R′;
- and
- (c) combining the cleaning composition and the dicarboxylic acid monoester in a weight ratio of from 25:75 to 75:25.
A cleaning composition comprising:
- (a) an alk(en)yl oligoglycoside corresponding to the general formula (I):
- R′O—[G]p (I)
- wherein R′ represents an alk(en)yl radical having from 4 to 22 carbon atoms, G represents a sugar moiety having from 5 or 6 carbon atoms and p is a number of from 1 to 10;
- and
- (b) a dicarboxylic acid monoester.
