Abstract: An emulsion type hair cosmetic comprising: (a) 0.1 to 5% by weight of a dimethylpolysiloxane polyoxyalkylene copolymer having a cloud point of 20.degree. to 45.degree. C., (b) 0.02 to 2.5% by weight of non-ionic surface active agent having an HLB value of not less than 10, (c) 0.01 to 0.5% by weight of ionic surface active agent, (d) 0.05 to 10% by weight of silicone oil, (e) 0.1 to 10% by weight of a polymer for fixing hair, which is soluble in water or an ethanol/water mixture of 50/50 weight ratio, (f) 2 to 40% by weight of ethanol, and (g) 30 to 97% by weight of water. The hair cosmetic possesses an excellent hair dressing or setting ability, a low stimulus to the skin and a good storage stability. It can preserve the fragrance very stably and afford a good feeling on use.

Abstract: The detergent compositions of the present invention comprising a phosphate surfactant and an amidoamine amphoteric surfactant; a hydroxysulfobetaine, aliphatic lactylate, or aliphatic glycolate, have excellent foam characteristics such as foaming property, foaming power, and rapidity of foaming, as well as excellent low-temperature stability, detergency, and mildness to the skin and hair. Therefore, these compositions can be effectively employed for shampoos and cleaning agents for infants which require not only good detergency but also a low incidence of skin irritation.
