Aqueous surface-active formulation including polypropylene glycol(3) myristyl ether

Abstract

The present invention relates to the use of polypropylene glycol(3) myristyl ether as preferably the sole viscosity regulator, care active ingredient and solubilizer in aqueous surface-active formulations, preferably having a water content of at least 75% by weight. The present invention further provides aqueous surface-active formulations comprising at least 0.5% by weight, preferably at least 2% by weight, of polypropylene glycol(3) myristyl ether, at least 5% by weight, preferably at least 10% by weight, of at least one surfactant and at least 75% by weight, preferably at least 85% by weight, of water and liquid body cleansing compositions, in particular shower baths and hair shampoos, comprising such an aqueous surface-active formulation.
