Abstract
The present invention is directed to a cleansing composition containing: (a) from about 6% to about 20% of at least one nonionic surfactant; (b) from about to about 10% of at least one amphoteric surfactant; (c) from about 2% to about 8% of at least one anionic surfactant; and (d) from about 0.01% to about 5% of at least one cationic conditioning polymer; wherein the amount of nonionic surfactant (a) present in the final composition is greater than the amount of the amphoteric surfactant (b), and the ratio of nonionic surfactant (a) to anionic surfactant (c) is at least 1.9, based on the weight percent of each surfactant in the final composition.
Claims19
An aqueous cleansing composition comprising:
- (a) from about 6% to about 20% of at least one nonionic surfactant that is an alkyl polyglucoside;
- (b) from about 3% to about 10% of at least one amphoteric surfactant that is an amphopropionate, an amphoacetate, or a combination thereof;
- (c) from about 2% to about 8% of at least one anionic surfactant selected from salts of each of alkyl sulfates, alkyl ether sulfates, acyl isethionates, acyl glycinate, acyl taurates, acyl amino acids, acyl sarcosinates, sulfosuccinates, sulfonates, wherein the alkyl and acyl groups of all these compounds comprise from 6 to 24 carbon atoms;
- and
- (d) from about 0.01% to about 5% of at least one cationic conditioning polymer;
- wherein the amount of nonionic surfactant (a) present in the final composition is greater than the amount of the amphoteric surfactant (b), and the ratio of nonionic surfactant (a) to anionic surfactant (c) is at least 1.9:1, by weight, based on the weight percent of each surfactant in the final composition.
An aqueous cleaning and conditioning composition comprising:
- (a) from about 7% to about 10% of at least one nonionic surfactant that is an alkyl polyglucoside;
- (b) from about 4% to about 8% of at least one amphoteric surfactant that is an amphopropionate;
- (c) from about 2.5% to about 5% of at least one anionic surfactant selected from sodium cocoyl glycinate, sodium cocoyl taurate, and sodium laureth sulfate, and mixtures thereof;
- and
- (d) from about 0.25% to about 2% of at least one cationic conditioning polymer;
- wherein the amount of nonionic surfactant (a) present in the final composition is greater than the amount of the amphoteric surfactant (b), and the ratio of nonionic surfactant (a) to anionic surfactant (c), is from about 2:1 to about 5:1, based on the weight percent of each surfactant in the final composition.
