Abstract
Cleansing compositions suitable for use in personal cleansing applications, and in particular make-up removal applications, which not only impart superior cleansing properties, but also which are relatively non-irritating and thus suitable for use by people having sensitive skin and eyes comprised of esters, liquid silicones, and a water dispersible components. Also disclosed are compositions for effectively depositing various benefit agents into and onto the skin.
Claims49
A foaming composition comprising:
- a. a water dispersible component;
- b. an ester;
- c. water;
- and a
- d. foaming surfactant.
A method for making an oil-in water emulsion comprised of:
- a) neutralizing a hydrophilic thickening agent in a hydrophilic phase comprised of a polymeric emulsifier with an effective amount of a neutralizer under conditions sufficient after a lipophilic phase was combined with the hydrophilic phase.
A method for making a water-in-oil emulsion comprised of:
- a) neutralizing a hydrophilic thickening agent in a hydrophilic phase comprised of a polymeric emulsifier with an effective amount of a neutralizer under conditions sufficient before combining a lipophilic phase with the hydrophilic phase.
A method for depositing a benefit agent into and/or onto the skin, hair and/or nails comprising applying a composition comprising:
- a. an optional liquid silicone;
- b. a water dispersible component;
- c. an ester;
- d. a polymeric emulsifier and/or a thickener;
- and
- e. an effective amount of a benefit agent to a desired location on a human or animal.
A method for depositing a benefit agent into and/or onto the skin, hair and/or nails comprising applying a composition comprising:
- a. an optional liquid silicone;
- b. a water dispersible component
- c. an ester;
- d. water;
- e. a foaming surfactant;
- and
- f. an effective amount of a benefit agent to a desired location on a human or animal.
A foaming composition comprised of
- a) water;
- b) a water dispersible component selected from the group consisting of hexylene glycol, PEG-6 caprylic/capric triglycerides, and mixtures thereof;
- c) an ester selected from the group consisting of isononyl isononanoate, isostearyl palmitate, cetyl octanoate, pentaerthritol tetraoctanoate, and mixtures thereof;
- and
- d) a foaming surfactant selected from the group consisting of cocamide MEA, lauryl glucoside, PEG-50 tallow amide, cocamdopropylamine oxide, and mixtures thereof.
A foaming composition comprising, based upon the total weight of the foaming composition,
- a) from about 0.1 percent to about 30 percent of a water dispersible component;
- b) from about 0.1 percent to about 30 percent of an ester;
- c) from about 1 percent to about 98 percent of water;
- and
- d) from about 2 percent to about 30 percent of a foaming surfactant.
