The invention relates to optically transparent compositions containing hydrophobic silicone oil and alkyl ether carboxylates that are useful e.g. as a hair treatment composition such as a shampoo. In particular, it provides an optically transparent composition comprising (a) a hydrophobic silicone oil; and (b) an alkyl ether carboxylate derived from alkanols having 6 to 22 carbon atoms; wherein the weight ratio of component (b) to component (a) is in the range of 1:1 to 20:1. The composition preferably also contains anionic surfactants as component (c), the total amount of the components (b) and (c) being preferably in the range of 10-25 wt.-% with respect to the total weight of the composition. The invention also provides a method for preparing the above composition.

Compositions comprising hydrophobic silicone oils and alkyl ether carboxylates

The invention relates to optically transparent aqueous compositions containing hydrophobic silicone oil and a comparably low amount of wash-active matter, being suitable as a hair treatment composition such as a shampoo. In particular, it provides an optically transparent aqueous composition comprising (a) a hydrophobic silicone oil in an amount of 1-3 wt.-% with respect to the total weight of the composition; (b) a solubilizer for the silicone oil; and (d) an anionic surfactant; wherein the weight-ratio of component (b) to component (a) is in the range of 1:1 to 12:1; and wherein the total amount of the components (b) and (c) is in the range of 10-25 wt.-% with respect to the total weight of the composition. The invention also provides a method for preparing the above composition.

Transparent aqueous compositions comprising hydrophobic silicone oils

The present invention is directed to an abrasive for use in a skin cleansing agent. The abrasive comprises a bleached flour obtained from a natural shell, kernel or mixture thereof. A preferred bleaching agent is hydrogen peroxide. The natural shells and/or kernels may be, for example, walnut shells, almond shells, hazelnut shells, olive kernels, cherry kernels, apricot kernels or mixtures thereof.
