Hair cosmetic

A dentifrice composition containing as the active foaming agent (I) a monoalkyl phosphate ester salt and (II) a dialkyl phosphate ester salt, wherein said alkyls have 10 to 14 carbon atoms and the weight ratio of I:II is from 100:0 to 70:30.

Dentifice composition

A liquid shampoo composition comprising an aqueous solution of (A) monoalkyl ester salt of phosphoric acid and (B) trialkylaminoacetobetaine, trialkylaminopropanesulfobetaine or mixture thereof. The composition possesses high detergency, high foaming and low skin irritation properties.

Low irritant shampoo composition

A shampoo composition comprising, as critical components,

Transparent liquid shampoo

An emulsifying or solubilizing agent composition comprising 58 to 95% by weight of a polyoxyethylene (10 to 100) sorbitol branched saturated fatty acid (C.sub.11 to C.sub.21) ester having from 3 to 6 ester groups in the molecule, 0.5 to 2.5% by weight of an alkali metal salt of a linear or branched fatty acid (C.sub.11 to C.sub.21), 2.5 to 6.0% by weight of a linear or branched fatty acid (C.sub.11 to C.sub.23) and 2 to 35% by weight of a branched saturated fatty acid ester of polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of from 150 to 2000.

Oil-in-water emulsion and emulsifying or solubilizing agent composition

A dentifrice composition comprising 0.5 to 5 wt.% of an alkali metal phosphate and 0.5 to 13 wt.% of monomorillonite having a composition (% by weight, calculated on an anhydrous basis) of 60.0 to 70.0% of SiO.sub.2, 20.0 to 30.0% of Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, 2.0 to 5.0% of MgO, 2.0 to 5.0% of Na.sub.2 O and 0.0 to 2.0% of Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3 or hectorite having a composition (% by weight, calculated on an anhydrous basis) of 50.0 to 65.0% of SiO.sub.2, 20.0 to 30.0% of MgO, 2.5 to 5.0% of Na.sub.2 O, 0.6 to 2.0% of Li.sub.2 O and 0.0 to 2.0% of Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3.

Dentifrice composition

A colored detergent composition comprising a sulfate- or sulfonate-type anionic organic surfactant, a coloring agent, and from 0.02 to 1 percent by weight, based on the weight of said surfactant, of butylated hydroxytoluene or butylated hydroxyanisole. The detergent composition possesses the property of reduced color fading.

Liquid detergent of reduced color fading

Liquid lanolin is deodorized by mixing it with a solvent selected from methanol, ethanol, mixtures of methanol and ethanol, or aqueous solutions of methanol and/or ethanol, and then separating and removing the solvent phase. A subsequent water-washing treatment provides a further improved deodorizing effect.

Method for deodorizing liquid lanolin

A transparent, highly viscous, liquid shampoo composition comprising, as critical components, (A) from about 1 to about 10% by weight of a polyoxyethylene alkyl ether having the formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is alkyl having 8 to 14 carbon atoms, R.sub.2 is hydrogen or alkyl having 1 to 7 carbon atoms, and n denotes the mole number of added ethylene oxide units and its distribution is as follows:

Transparent highly viscous liquid shampoo composition

A dentifrice composition comprising a water-soluble fluoride of the type customarily added to dentifrices as a caries-preventing agent, in an amount of 100 to 2,000 ppm calculated as fluorine, and 0.3 to 13% by weight of montmorillonite having the following composition (% by weight, calculated on an anhydrous basis):
