The present invention relates to compositions which provide both a skin cleansing and skin moisturizing benefit from the same product. These compositions provide improved lathering and cleansing characteristics, are extremely mild to the skin, and deliver a moisturizing agent to the skin. These compositions comprise at least one anionic surfactant, a dispersed, insoluble oil phase, at least one additional surfactant, an optional suspending agent, and water. This invention also relates to methods for providing combined cleansing and moisturization, and to methods for delivering these compositions as a foam.

Combined personal cleansing and moisturizing compositions

A cold cream cosmetic composition is provided that includes a wax, mineral oil, and a C.sub.18 -C.sub.30 acyl lactylate salt. These compositions feel drier on the skin and are more water-rinsable than traditional cold cream.

Cold creams containing acyl lactylates

A clear cold cream cosmetic composition is provided that includes, water, a C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 polyhydric alcohol, a poly (C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 alkoxylate) polymer, a volatile C.sub.10 -C.sub.20 hydrocarbon and a silicone emollient system. These compositions exhibit visual clarity with excellent make-up and grease removal properties with superior, nongreasy skinfeel.

Clear cold cream cosmetic compositions

A cleansing composition in toilet bar form is described which includes an acyl isethionate salt as surfactant and a behenyl lactylate salt as a firmness additive. Additionally, the composition may contain a moisturizer cocktail of mineral oil, glycerin and silicone oil. Toilet bars herein described have improved mush and wear properties.
