Thus, a detergent composition of the present invention is characterized by including: an imidazolinium betaine-based amphoteric surfactant; and 0.5 to 10% by mass of PEG-1 lauryl glycol represented by the following formula (I): wherein, m and n each represent the number of moles of added ethylene oxide and the average of m+n is 1. Also, the detergent composition preferably includes an ingredient having a microstatic effect or microcidal effect selected from divalent glycols, hinokitiol, trichlorocarbanilide, and benzalkonium chloride.

Abstract: The present invention provides a framed soap containing uniformly entrained bubbles and a method for producing the same. The framed soap of the present invention is produced by cooling and solidifying in a cylindrical cooling frame and characterized in that 10 volume % or higher air bubbles having a number average particle diameter of 65 ?m or smaller are uniformly entrained.

Abstract: The present invention provides a framed soap containing uniformly entrained bubbles and a method for producing the same. The framed soap of the present invention is produced by cooling and solidifying high-temperature molten soap containing a fatty acid salt or an N-acyl acidic amino acid salt, prepared with the counter ion of which sodium is essential and an organic amine and potassium are optional, in a cylindrical cooling frame and characterized in that 10 volume % or higher air bubbles having a number average particle diameter of 65 ?m or smaller are uniformly entrained.

Abstract: A solid washing agent that is hard even in a high-temperature, high-humidity atmosphere or in a similar environment and that can prevent melting away and stickiness is provided. A composition for a solid washing agent containing an N-long chain acyl acidic amino acid salt as a component of an ingredient wherein the salt for the N-long chain acyl acidic amino acid salt is composed of an alkali metal salt and an ethanolamine salt, the molar ratio of the alkali metal salt to the ethanolamine salt is 10:90 to 75:25, the degree of neutralization is 1.5 to 2.0 eq, and an alkyl-modified silicone represented by formula (I) below is blended as an ingredient, and a solid washing agent formed from the composition.

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.
