The invention relates to an anti-dandruff shampoo comprising: &#x2014;a) from 0.1 to 5 wt. % of an anti-dandruff zinc salt; b) from 1 to 8 wt. % of an alkyl glycinate and/or alkyl carboxyglycinate; c) from 2 to 16 wt. % of an alkyl sulphate and/or an ethoxylated alkyl sulfate anionic surfactant; and, d) from 1 to 10 wt. % of a fatty acyl isethionate product which product comprises 40 to 80 wt. % fatty acyl isethionate and 15 to 50 wt. % free fatty acid and/or fatty acid salt and to the use of a surfactant system comprising components b) to d) to provide an improvement to the skin stratum corneum barrier.

Anti-dandruff shampoo

A shampoo composition is described which includes from 1 to 25% by weight of mild surfactants, from 0.001 to 5% by weight of citrus fibers, from 0.01 to 5% by weight of anti-dandruff zinc salts, and a cosmetically acceptable carrier. The citrus fibers help structure the composition to maintain phase stability, provide appropriate viscosity and achieve deposition of the anti-dandruff zinc salts.

Anti-dandruff compositions with citrus fibers

Mild toilet bar compositions are described that contain synthetic surfactants, moisturizers and exfoliant particles where 25% or more of the particles have a major axis length of between 100 and 600 microns. The combination of the mild surfactants, moisturizers, and exfoliants provide the user with simultaneous moisturization and exfoliation.

Exfoliating and moisturizing toilet bar

Toilet bar having simultaneous exfoliating and moisturizing properties

The present invention relates to a multiphase cleansing bar having a plurality of phases of cleansing material. Adjacent phases preferably have different concentration levels of benefit components respectively and all the phases individually preferably have a substantially similar cleansing base consisting of a syndet base, a soap base, or mixtures thereof. These benefit components are emollients, moisturizers, nutrients, anti-aging materials etc. Segregation of the benefit rich component is expected to result in improved deposition of the benefit components on the skin during the product application, which improves the moisture barrier properties of the skin. Chemical and Theological compatibility between the phases is maximized and recycling of the product during production is facilitated with the use of a uniform cleansing base. Methods of producing the inventive bar by extruding and melt casting are also disclosed.

Personal washing bar having adjacent emollient rich and emollient poor phases

The present invention is directed to mixed fatty acid soap based bar compositions, which may include synthetic surfactants as co-actives, wherein relatively small amounts of specified polyoxyethylene-polypropylene nonionic polymer has been found to enhance mildness and reduced mush of bar compositions without sacrificing the user properties and processability of the formulations.

Bar composition comprising copolymer mildness actives

The present invention relates to liquid detergent compositions comprising substantially linear, water soluble, highly salt-tolerant non-adsorbing, ionic polymers of MW 10,000 to 1,000,000 Daltons which, when added in defined minimum levels to structured heavy duty liquids, make the liquids highly shear thinning without decreasing pour viscosity of the composition or increasing it to a point where it is too thick. The compositions are also stable.

Liquid detergent compostions containing structuring polymers for

The present invention relates to bar compositions comprising a mixture of higher melting point and lower molecular weight (100 to about 1400) lower melting point polyalkylene glycol(s) in which use of the lower molecular weight polyalkylene glycol or glycols allows enhanced rates of extrusion from the plodder.
