The invention provides high viscosity, low polyol compositions. By using surfactant system wherein 50% or more of the surfactant system comprises a surfactant of defined V/Iavalue, it is possible to provide such composition having good foam appearance. If surfactants of such value are not used, the high polyol, low viscosity composition have 'bad' foam attributes (not “self-foaming), when measured for example after pumping through mechanical pump (composition has 0 to 0.5% propellant gel or gas).

Low viscosity, high polyol self-foaming composition

The invention relates to high polyol compositions comprising foaming, preferably mild surfactants. While xanthan gum is normally incompatible with such composition, applicants have surprisingly found compositions (having specified particles size) and process for making such compositions such that xanthan gum can now be used as structurant.

Xanthan structured high polyol liquid cleansers

The present invention relates to personal care cleansing compositions prising specific surfactant systems used in combination with high levels of glycerin.

Compositions comprising specific surfactants and high levels of glycerin

A personal care composition is provided having a highly volatile fragrance which incorporates alpha pinene, beta pinene, hexyl acetate, limonene, (+)-citronellal, dihydromyrcenol, alpha citronellol, beta citronellol, genaniol, lilial or combinations thereof in conjunction with tricyclodecane amide. The tricyclodecane amide functions to prevent fast volatilization of the highly volatile fragrance components when the personal care composition is applied to skin or hair of the human body.

Prolonged delivery of certain fragrance components from personal care compositions

A personal care composition that comprises:

Personal care compositions that include enrobed sugar

The invention relates to concentrated liquid cleansing compositions in lamellar phase which possess a lotion-like appearance conveying signals of enhanced moisturization. The use of a specific ratio of synthetic anionic surfactant(s) and co-surfactant(s) to fatty acid(s) in a structured liquid product was found to improve lather production by moderating or eliminating the increase in viscosity upon dilution. In a further embodiment, specific small hydrophobic molecules were found to improve freeze/thaw stability and thereby cause the inventive composition to maintain noticeable moisturization signals.

Concentrated lamellar liquid personal cleansing composition

A preservative system and a personal care composition containing that system is provided which includes the preservative combination of a C-Cacyl glycinate salt and a hydroxyethyl sulfonate salt. This preservative system is effective against gram negative bacteria, particularly

Preservative system and composition based on glycinate and hydroxyethyl sulfonate salt combination

A personal care composition is provided which includes from 0.1 to 30% of a dihydroxypropyltri(C-Calkyl) ammonium salt by weight of the composition; from 0.0001 to 0.005% of a tri(C-Calkyl)amine or protonated form thereof by weight of the ammonium salt; from 0.002 to 15% of an aluminum salt by weight of the composition; and a cosmetically acceptable carrier wherein the composition has a pH ranging from 5.5 to 6.9. Unpleasant amine odor from trialkyl amines which arise from the dihydroxypropyltri(C-Calkyl) ammonium salts is suppressed by the aluminum salt and by careful control of pH conditions.

Odor controlled personal care compositions containing hydroxypropyl trialkylammonium salts

The invention relates to specific synergistic combinations (providing perfume delivery in both diluted and undiluted compositions) between specific soap-based liquid concentrates and particularly defined perfumes. The invention further relates to a method of delivering enhanced smell and/or enhanced fragrance intensity in use using such combinations.

Methods for enhancing perfume efficacy

Specific perfumes having enhanced efficacy when used in specific liquid concentrate compositions

A personal care composition is provided which includes a fragrance component selected from the group consisting of hexyl acetate, dihydromyrcenol, phenyl ethyl alcohol, benzyl acetate and mixtures thereof, and from 1 to 30% of a C-Cfatty acid material by weight of the composition, wherein from 60 to 85% by weight of the fatty acid material is a salt and a remainder of the fatty acid material is a free fatty acid.

Fragranced soap compositions

The present invention relates to a method of obtaining enhanced perfume bloom, e.g., bars providing enhanced perfume impact. By selecting specific bar compositions (e.g., with low TFM and specific starch-polyol structuring system), it has been unexpectedly found that bloom is actually increased upon dilution of such bars.

Method of enhancing perfume bloom in extruded diluted bars having low total fatty matter and using starch polyol structuring system

The present invention relates to a method of enhanced perfume retention, e.g., bars providing enhanced retention. By selecting specific bar compositions (e.g., with low TFM and specific starch-polyol structuring system), it has been unexpectedly found that retention of perfume during dry bar storage is actually increased.

Method of enhancing perfume retention during storage using low total fatty matter extruded bars having starch polyol structuring system

The invention provides a method of reducing surfactant damage in compositions comprising at least one surfactant and at least one benefit agent. The reduction in damage is measurable by decrease in number of protein binding sites in presence versus absence of benefit agent, or when benefit agent has solubility outside a defined range. The invention further relates to compositions comprising said surfactants and benefit agent(s) having reduced surfactant damage.

Method of reducing surfactant damage using compositions comprising benefit agents of defined high polarity

The invention provides a method selecting benefit agent(s) suitable for reducing surfactant damage in compositions comprising at least one surfactant and at least one benefit agent. The reduction in damage is measurable by decrease in number of protein binding sites in presence versus absence of benefit agent, or when benefit agent has solubility outside a defined range.
