Detergent cosmetic compositions comprising three surfactants and at least one fatty ester, and use thereof

A method for cleansing and/or removing makeup from keratin materials comprising

• applying to the keratin materials an effective amount of a composition comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable aqueous medium:
• (A) at least one sulfate or sulfonate anionic surfactant;
• (B) at least one carboxylic anionic surfactant other than the surfactant of (A), chosen from polyoxyalkylenated (C6-C24)alkyl ether carboxylic acids, polyoxyalkylenated (C6-C24)alkylaryl ether carboxylic acids and salts thereof, and polyoxyalkylenated (C6-C24)alkylamido ether carboxylic acids and salts thereof;
• (C) at least one amphoteric and/or zwitterionic surfactant, and
• (D) at least one water-insoluble carboxylic acid ester, wherein the esters are chosen from:
• 1) esters of a C3-C30 carboxylic acid and of a C1-C30 alcohol, with at least the acid or the alcohol being branched, and
• 2) esters of a C7-C30 aromatic acid whose carboxylic functional group is directly attached to the aromatic ring and of a C1-C30 alcohol,
• wherein the at least one water-insoluble carboxylic acid ester is present in an amount ranging from 0.5% to 10% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, and
• further wherein the weight ratio of the at least one sulfate or sulfonate anionic surfactant to the at least one carboxylic anionic surfactant ranges from 2 to 12,
• and rinsing off the composition.

A process for washing and conditioning keratin materials, comprising applying to wet keratin materials an effective amount of a composition comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable aqueous medium,

• (A) at least one sulfate or sulfonate anionic surfactant,
• (B) at least one carboxylic anionic surfactant other than the surfactant of (A), chosen from polyoxyalkylenated (C6-C24)alkyl ether carboxylic acids, polyoxyalkylenated (C6-C24)alkylaryl ether carboxylic acids and salts thereof, and polyoxyalkylenated (C6-C24)alkylamido ether carboxylic acids and salts thereof,
• (C) at least one amphoteric and/or zwitterionic surfactant, and
• (D) at least one water-insoluble carboxylic acid ester, wherein the esters are chosen from:
• 1) esters of a C3-C30 carboxylic acid and of a C1-C30 alcohol, with at least the acid or the alcohol being branched, and
• 2) esters of a C7-C30 aromatic acid whose carboxylic functional group is directly attached to the aromatic ring and of a C1-C30 alcohol,
• wherein the at least one water-insoluble carboxylic acid ester is present in an amount ranging from 0.5% to 10% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, and
• further wherein the weight ratio of the at least one sulfate or sulfonate anionic surfactant to the at least one carboxylic anionic surfactant ranges from 2 to 12;
• followed by rinsing with water, after an optional leave-in time.
