Abstract: Washing with conventional filmy soaps cannot bring about clean detergent effect because of the remaining sliminess due to the ingredient essential for forming soap into films. Further, when moisture adheres to conventional filmy compositions, the water-soluble polymer or other ingredients contained in the compositions dissolve in the moisture to cause the blocking of filmy compositions, which makes it impossible to take out the filmy compositions one by one. Detergent effect without sliminess and the antiblocking of filmy compositions can be attained by incorporating a granular component into a filmy composition containing a water-soluble polymer. The filmy compositions of the invention are used as filmy facial masks, whitening masks, sheet soap, cleansing sheets, sheet shampoos, sheet rinses, sheet bath additives, and so on.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel surfactant which is obtained by blending an N—C8-24 acylamino acid and an alkali salt of an amino acid, and also relates to a detergent composition comprising this surfactant as a cleansing component and an emulsion composition comprising this surfactant as an emulsifying component. In the alkali salt of an amino acid, a suitable amino acid is an acidic or neutral ?-amino acid, and a suitable alkali is sodium, potassium, triethanolamine, or N-methyltaurine sodium. In the N—C8-24 acylamino acid, a suitable amino acid is acidic or neutral, and a suitable C8-24 acyl is a C12-18 acyl. This surfactant can provide a detergent composition which ensures good lathering ability and foam quality and which does not cause stiff hair or taut skin after use. The surfactant can also provide an emulsion composition which ensures a good emulsion state.
