Abstract
A free flowing bath bead composition comprising relatively minor amounts of allantoin and allantoin proteinate, and a collagen hydrolysate, in combination with a relatively large amount of a water softener. The composition may also include a foaming agent, particularly sodium lauryl sulfoacetate and a finely divided silica.
Claims6
A free-flowing bath bead composition comprising from 0.1 part to 2.0 percent allantoin, from 0.10 to 2.0 percent allantoin proteinate containing from 5 to 7 percent by weight allantoin, and a substantive protein derived from collagen and comprising straight chain polypeptides with a molecular weight up to 10,000, from 0.50 to 5.0 percent of a collagen hydrolysate, and from 10 to 84 percent of water softener.
A free-flowing bath composition containing as its active ingredients about 0.15 percent by weight of allantoin, about 0.10 percent by weight of an allantoin proteinate containing from 5 to 7 percent by weight allantoin and a substantive protein derived from collagen and comprising straight chain polypeptides with a molecular weight up to 10,000, about 0.5 percent by weight of a collagen hydrolysate having a molecular weight of about 2,000, about 10 to 94 percent by weight of a surface active foaming agent, about 12 to 84 percent by weight of a water softening agent, and about 0.10 percent by weight of finely divided fumed silica powder.
