A personal cleansing composition includes a carrier, and a first plurality of beads entrained in the carrier. The beads impart, to a user applying the cleansing composition with hand rubbing force, perceivable tactility for a limited predetermined duration that corresponds to a minimum adequate cleansing time period. In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, the personal cleansing composition further includes a second plurality of beads entrained in the carrier. The second plurality of beads imparts to the user a perceivable change in color for the cleansing composition for a second limited predetermined duration that is substantially equal to the duration that the tactility imparted by the first plurality of beads is perceivable to the user.

Liquid skin cleanser with multiple signals of adequate wash duration with adequate mechanical force

A method is provided for formulating a personal cleansing composition. At least one primary surfactant, at least one secondary amphoteric and/or nonionic surfactant, at least one humectant, and at least one polymeric and/or quaternary conditioner are selected, each of these components having a natural and renewable resource origin. The primary and secondary surfactants are combined with the at least one humectant and the at least one conditioner in a final composition that includes the combined primary and secondary surfactants at less than about 14 wt. %, and includes the combined at least one humectant and at least one conditioner at less than 5.5 wt. %. After forming the final composition, an optimum performance index (OPI) is determined for the composition to ensure that the composition has an OPI of at least about 5.450. The OPI is calculated as: OPI=3&#xf7;((solids wt. %+Zein score)&#xf7;performance grade).

Environmentally responsible personal cleansing compositions with high performance

A personal care cleansing composition having enhanced perceptible skin benefits, for example, by selecting certain ratios of quaternary ammonium compounds and free fatty acids. Additionally, in accordance with various aspects of the present invention, the present inventors have discovered that the addition of talc in varying percentages increases qualities to the user such as freshness, smoothness, lather and creaminess. Additionally, aspects relating to fragrance retention, deposition and the amounts perceived are improved.

Personal cleansing bar with free fatty acid and quaternary surfactant synergism

A method is provided for formulating a personal cleansing composition. At least one primary surfactant, at least one secondary amphoteric and/or nonionic surfactant, at least one humectant, and at least one polymeric and/or quaternary conditioner are selected, each of these components having a natural and renewable resource origin. The primary and secondary surfactants are combined with the at least one humectant and the at least one conditioner in a final composition that includes the combined primary and secondary surfactants at less than about 14 wt. %, and includes the combined at least one humectant and at least one conditioner at less than 5.5 wt. %. After forming the final composition, an optimum performance index (OPI) is determined for the composition to ensure that the composition has an OPI of at least about 5.450. The OPI is calculated as:OPI=3&#xf7;((solids wt.%+Zein score)&#xf7;performance grade).

A soap bar composition includes a soap mixture, a polyalkylene glycol, at least one of glycerin and sorbitol, water; and optionally, free fatty acid. The soap bar composition exhibits translucent properties.

Translucent soap bar composition and method of making the same

A bar composition in which use of specific ratio of cationic to surfactant as been found to remarkably enhance deposition of oil/emollient benefit agent.
