Abstract: A detergent composition contains the following components (a) and (b): (a) an amphoteric surfactant 2 to 35 wt. %, (b) a compound which is other than the component (a) 6 to 40 wt. %. and contains, in its molecule, a carboxyl group and an amino group or a quaternary ammonium group This composition is easily thickened without using a thickener, and has excellent temperature stability and washing with it imparts the skin with good touch feeling.

Abstract: The invention relates to a substantially nonaqueous skin cleansing composition comprising a granulated product obtained by granulating particles of a surfactant selected from the group consisting of nonionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants and anionic surfactants with a binder. The composition scarcely causes damage to and itch on the skin, can give an effective massaged feeling and has excellent cleanability.

Abstract: The invention relates to disintegrating particles formed by agglomerating primary particles at least part of which are insoluble in water, wherein the agglomeration of the disintegrating particles is disintegrated in an aqueous solution containing a water-soluble salt by lowering the concentration of the water-soluble salt. The invention also relates to a cleanser or detergent composition that includes the disintegrating particles, a water-soluble salt at a concentration lower than its saturated solubility, a surfactant and water. The composition has excellent physical (mechanical) cleanability and stability with time and gives users a pleasant feeling upon use. The composition does not cause damage to and itch on the skin because the disintegrating particles are disintegrated during cleansing and rinsing, and it is extremely good in rinsability.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a polyether polymer having structural units represented by general formula (1), wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 mean individually an alkyl group of 1-20 carbon atoms, which may have at least one hydroxyl group, and Y denotes an alkylene group of 1-10 carbon atoms, which may have a hydroxyl group, a preparation process thereof, and a moisturizer, a cosmetic composition and a detergent composition comprising this polymer. The cosmetic composition and detergent composition are excellent in moisture retention, keep up the moisturizing effect over a long period of time and give users a pleasant feeling.

Abstract: An aqueous liquid cleansing composition, packaged in a foamer container, said composition comprising:(A) from 5 to 50% by weight of an anionic carboxylate surfactant; and(B) from 0.1 to 5% by weight of a salt.The aqueous liquid cleansing composition of the present invention shows an extremely low viscosity increase at a low temperature and can be easily pushed out from the foamer container even at a low temperature thus giving uniform foam. It is particularly suitable for a skin cleanser.

Abstract: A low-irritation detergent composition comprising (A) an alkyl saccharide-type surface active agent and (B) a cationic polymer. The composition is a low irritant to the skin and hair, produces excellent creamy foam, possesses a superior hair conditioning effect, and imparts an outstanding moisture feeling to the skin.
