Described in the present invention are a dispersion which comprises, as a dispersoid, (a) 5 to 40 wt. % of an amphipatic lipid containing, in the molecule thereof, at least one hydroxy and amide group, and (b) 2 to 55 wt. % of a surfactant in an aqueous medium; a washing-away type cosmetic composition comprising the dispersion; and a washing-away type cosmetic composition comprising (A) 0.01 to 10 wt. % of an amphipatic lipid which contains, in the molecule thereof, at least one hydroxy and amide group and having a melting point not less than 30&deg; C. and (B) 5 to 95 wt. % of a surfactant. The dispersion according to the present invention is useful as a component of a washing-away type cosmetic composition having both an emulsion-like or pearl-lustrous appearance and low skin irritation. The washing-away type cosmetic composition according to the present invention has an emulsion-like or pearl-lustrous appearance and is mild to the skin owing to reduced adsorption, to the skin, of the surfactant contained in the composition.

Amphipatic lipid dispersion

Disclosed is a detergent composition characterized by low skin irritation, good foamability, easy handling at the time of manufacture, and excellent stability when stored as a product. The detergent composition is a composition which contains a specific amount of (A) a specific amide alcohol and (B) at least one surfactant selected from an anionic surfactant, a nonionic surfactant, and an amphoteric surfactant, wherein the pH (25&deg; C.) of the 20-fold diluted aqueous solution of the composition is 4.5 to 6.8.

Detergent composition

Hair cosmetic compositions

An enhancer composition for agricultural chemicals which can enhance the effectiveness of an agricultural chemical without causing any phytotoxicity to various crops, which comprises at least one nitrogen-containing compound selected from the group consisting of a tertiary amine, a tertiary amine salt and a quaternary ammonium salt and a chelating agent, wherein the content of the chelating agent ranges from 0.01 to 30 mol per mol of the nitrogen-containing compound.
