The invention relates to method of enhancing yield of alkyl taurate amides using enhancing specifically phosphoric acid catalysts. It further relates to the use of phosphoric acid to enhance yield while avoiding and/or reducing undesirable browning.

Enhanced conversion of taurine to alkyl taurate amide using phosphoric acid catalysts

This invention relates to syndet-based compositions having pH of 4.5 to 5.5 wherein use of caprylic acid has been unexpectedly found to enhance bacterial kill.

Non-soap liquid cleanser composition comprising anionic surfactant, caprylic acid, and non-ionic molecule

Non-soap liquid cleanser composition comprising caprylic acid

The invention relates to a method of enhancing conversion of alkali metal salt, preferably aqueous salt, preferably aqueous sodium salt of N-methyl taurine to alkyl taurate amides. In one aspect, the starting salt is pre-concentrated (at least 75% up to 99% taurine salt in the aqueous solutions after water is removed from a starting aqueous solution of the salt) and, in another aspect, the starting salt is not pre-concentrated.

Method of enhanced conversion of taurine salts to alkyl taurate amides

The invention relates to novel compositions and novel in-situ process for making small average particle size, narrow distribution FAI in oil. The process comprises preparing FAI; separately optionally heating oil; adding oil to FAI in a molten state; heating to defined temperature; and cooling the heated mixture at a defined, controlled rate which ensures proper size and distribution are met.

In-SITU process for making a small particle narrow distribution fatty acyl isethionate in oil composition

A soap bar comprising: (a) 25 to 85% by weight, based on the total weight of the bar, of fatty acid soap; (b) 0.1 to 100 ppm by weight, based on the total weight of the bar, of at least one silver (I) compound having a selected silver ion solubility, wherein at 25&#xb0; C., a 1 wt % solution of the bar in water has a pH of from 9 to 11.

Soap bar having enhanced antibacterial activity

Method of cleansing human skin employing an aqueous soap composition comprising of fatty acid soap, at least one silver (I) compound having a silver ion solubility (in water at 25&#xb0; C.) of at least 1&#xd7;10mol/L, and water, which composition provides biocidal activity against Gram positive bacteria in particular, in relatively short contact periods.

Liquid soap having enhanced antibacterial activity

The invention relates to concentrated liquid cleansing compositions in lamellar phase which possess a lotion-like appearance conveying signals of enhanced moisturization. The use of a specific ratio of synthetic anionic surfactant(s) and co-surfactant(s) to fatty acid(s) in a structured liquid product was found to improve lather production by moderating or eliminating the increase in viscosity upon dilution. In a further embodiment, specific small hydrophobic molecules were found to improve freeze/thaw stability and thereby cause the inventive composition to maintain noticeable moisturization signals.

Concentrated lamellar liquid personal cleansing composition

The invention relates to specific synergistic combinations (providing perfume delivery in both diluted and undiluted compositions) between specific soap-based liquid concentrates and particularly defined perfumes. The invention further relates to a method of delivering enhanced smell and/or enhanced fragrance intensity in use using such combinations.

Methods for enhancing perfume efficacy

Specific perfumes having enhanced efficacy when used in specific liquid concentrate compositions

A flowable concentrated soap cleansing composition is provided which includes from 40 to 65% of C-Cfatty acid mixture in combined amount of salt and free acid forms, the mixture having C-Cchain length present in greater amount than C-Cchain length of fatty acid. Further, the composition includes 25 to 50% water, 1 to 15% of a first anti-crystallization agent, and 2 to 15% of a second anti-crystallization agent. The first anti-crystallization agent is sodium lauryl ether sulfate with a weight average ethoxylation of from 0.5 to 2 moles ethylene oxide per mole of sulfate. The second anti-crystallization agent is polypropylene glycol of weight average molecular weight ranging from 195 to 10,000. The composition has a viscosity ranging from 10 to 100 Pa*s at 20&#xb0; C. as measured after 2 minutes at 10 rpm on a Brookfield Viscometer using Spindle RV 7.

Concentrated soap based cleansing compositions

A mild, substantially isotropic skin cleansing solution was found to be able to suspend insoluble components and provide copious amounts of lather. The cleanser is formulated with synthetic anionic surfactants and a specific ratio of carboxylic acid(s) to hydrophobically modified cross-linked acrylate copolymer(s). The carboxylic acid and acrylate polymer combination were found to provide a synergistic effect on zero shear viscosity at 25 C in a specific pH and copolymer/acid concentration ratio range.

Liquid personal cleansing composition

An ordered liquid crystalline phase cleansing composition is disclosed that contains a solid particulate optical modifier that modifies the appearance of the skin after rinsing the skin. A method of depositing the solid particulate optical modifier to the skin or hair with the ordered liquid crystalline phase cleansing composition is also disclosed.

Ordered liquid crystalline cleansing composition with particulate optical modifiers

An aqueous isotropic liquid cleansing and moisturizing composition is provided having a surfactant; a thickening agent, and a solid particulate optical modifier that modifies the appearance of the skin after wash off.

Isotropic cleansing composition with particulate optical modifiers
