Tanning compositions including dihydroxyacetone

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

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.
