  • Liquid sunscreen compositions which both deposit and lather well
    Patent number: 6399045
    Abstract: The present invention teaches liquid sunscreen compositions in which level of surfactant is higher than level at which the sunscreen component(s) are still soluble in the surfactant in which they are used; and which comprise minimal levels of cationic polymer. Combination of cationic polymer (especially preferred surfactants and at minimum levels) and minimal levels of sunscreen lead to compositions with minimal levels of deposition and minimal SPF. Further, the compositions also maintain good lather.
    Type: Grant

  • Isotropic liquids comprising hydrophobically modified polar polymers plus aliphatic hydrocarbon oils
    Patent number: 5719117
    Abstract: Isotropic liquid detergent composition comprises specific soil antiredeposition polymers containing a hydrophilic backbone and hydrophobic side chain; and aliphatic hydrocarbon oils. When the molar ratio of hydrophilic groups of the backbone to number of hydrophobic groups attached to the backbone is below certain critical levels; and aliphatic hydrocarbon oil of defined molecular weight (MW) range are incorporated in the formulation; it has been unexpectedly found that the stability (i.e., clarity) of the composition remarkably increases in such oil containing compositions.

  • Aqueous liquid compositions comprising peracid compounds and defined N-oxide compounds
    Patent number: 5674828
    Abstract: The present invention relates to liquid detergent compositions comprising:(1) 1-80% by wt. surfactant;(2) defined peroxyacid; and(3) 0.01-20% by wt. of N-oxide compound.The N-oxide compounds help to extend the half life of the peracid bleaches in such compositions. The invention further relates to a method of incorporating stability of surfactant compositions comprising peracid bleaches which method comprises adding 0.01-2.0% by wt. of said N-oxide compound to the composition.
