Lanolin-free lanolin substitute compositions comprising:

Vegetable substitute for lanolin

Lanolin-free lanolin substitute compositions comprising: A) from about 50 to about 95% by weight, of at least one plant sterol fatty acid ester; B) from about 1 to about 10% by weight, of at least one polyglyceryl di-polyhydroxy fatty acid ester; C) from about 1 to about 10% by weight, of at least one polyglyceryl di-fatty acid ester; and D) from about 0.25 to about 2% by weight of at least one glyceryl fatty acid ester.

A stable, pumpable, flowable and pourable surfactant concentrate, and a method of preparation thereof, said concentrate consisting essentially of (a) at least one anionic or amphoteric surfactant, (b) at least one alkylpolyglycoside surfactant, (c) a viscosity-adjusting agent selected from the group consisting of inorganic and organic electrolytes and (d) water. The concentrate is economically shippable and easily handleable by the formulator for dilution with water, without gelation difficulties, for a variety of end-use applications with adjuvants usually associated with the desired end-use.

Viscosity-adjusted surfactant concentrate compositions

A process for preparing high detergency or surfactant alkyl polyglycoside compositions and a purified alkyl monoglycoside and to compositions employing the polyglycosides for various end use applications. The process involves removal of a substantial portion of the monoglycoside present in a reaction product mixture containing alkyl polyglycosides resulting from the reaction of an alcohol and saccharide at elevated temperatures in the presence of an acid catalyst. Separation of the monoglycoside from the reaction product mixture may be carried out by molecular distillation.

Preparation of alkylpolyglycosides and cleaning compositions comprising

Alkyl polyglycoside ether carboxylates

Preparation of alkylpolyglycosides

An improved alkylpolyglycoside surfactant composition, and method of preparing same, by selecting an average chain length of the alkyl moiety of the composition and mixing two or more of at least binary components having an average alkyl chain lengths such that when mixed, the amounts thereof are effective to provide the predetermined, selected average alkyl moiety of the surfactant composition. The improved alkylpolyglycoside composition is used in a variety of end-use applications, including hard surface cleaners, laundry detergents, and personal care products, such as shampoos, soaps, facial cleansers, foam baths, toothpaste, mouthwashes, antiperspirants and the like.

Preparation of improved alkypolygloycoside surfactant mixtures

There is provided a composition and process for preparing self-emulsifying or emollient agents comprising reacting from about 1 mole of azelaic acid with from about 1 to about 1.25 moles of a C12-18 fatty alcohol to form an azelaic acid monoester having the general formula I-IV: ##STR1## wherein R is a C12-18 fatty alcohol, and the product contains from about 40 to about 50 weight percent of (I), from about 50 to about 60 weight percent of (II), from about 1 to about 2 weight percent of (III), and from about 0 to about 1 weight percent of (IV), all weights being based on the weight of said self-emulsifying or emollient agent.

Self-emulsifying and/or emollient agents

Highly concentrated mixtures of surfactants are obtained by a method which comprises adding the acid form of a neutralizable surfactant to an aqueous composition comprised of a base and an alkyl polyglycoside.

Process for preparing surfactant mixtures having high solids content

A pearlizing agent for such products as shampoos and hand soaps contains a glycol distearate, an alkyl polyglycoside, a betaine of the formula II ##STR1## wherein R.sup.5 is an alkyl or alkenyl group having from 7 to 21 carbon atoms and R.sup.6 is alkylene group having from 2 or 3 carbon atoms; each of R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 is independently an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, a glycol, and water.

Liquid pearlizing composition

Foaming shampoo compositions which contain no anionic surfactant and are mild to the skin and eyes are comprised of alkyl polyglycosides, betaines, and polymeric slip agents.

Mild shampoo composition

Hair treatment compositions containing (a) an alkyl polyglycoside of the formula I

Hair treatment composition

A surfactant blend for use in preparing clear liquid detergent compositions, the blend comprising a mixture of a short carbon chain anionic surfactant and a nonionic surfactant ethoxylated with from about 2 to about 7 moles of ethylene oxide. The anionic surfactant and nonionic surfactant are present in a weight ratio of from about 90:10 to about 50:50, respectively.
