Abstract
The invention relates to personal product compositions containing heteroatom containing alkyl aldonamide compounds and skin conditioning agent. Unexpectedly, applicants have found that when these heteroatom containing alkyl aldonamides are used, benefits such as enhanced stability and/or enhanced viscosity are obtained relative to the use of other known thickeners or non-heteroatom containing aldonamides.
Claims1
A personal product composition comprising:
- (a) about 15% by wt. sodium lauryl sulfate;
- (b) about 3% to about 5% by wt. of a heteroatom containing alkyl aldonamide compound having the following structure:
- ##STR36## wherein:
- n=1-6;
- m=1-5;
- X=H, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl group or mixtures thereof;
- Y=NA, .sup.+ NH.sub.2, .sup.+ NHA, O, S, SO, SO.sub.2, ##STR37## or mixtures thereof;
- p=0-25;
- G=H, a mono-, di-, oligo-, polysaccharide group, a (CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O).sub.q --H;
- (CH.sub.2 CHCH.sub.3 O).sub.r --H group or mixtures thereof;
- q=1-50;
- r=1-50;
- A=H, a hydroxy C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 alkyl group, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 straight or branched chain, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon which may be unsubstituted or substituted with an aromatic, cycloaliphatic, mixed aromatic aliphatic radical or a ##STR38## group or mixtures thereof;
- wherein X, m, Y and p are defined as above;
- and R.sub.12 is a straight or branched chain, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon which may be unsubstituted or substituted with an aromatic, cycloaliphatic, or mixed aromatic aliphatic radical comprising from about 1 to about 28 carbon atoms;
- (c) about 2% by wt. of a viscosity building ionizable salt selected from the group consisting of sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, potassium bromide, ammonium chloride, sodium sulfate, potassium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, sodium isethionate, sodium thiosulfate and mixtures thereof;
- (d) about 1% to 40% skin conditioning agent;
- and
- (e) water.
