Abstract: An oral composition comprises water and a cyclic carbonate compound in a certain ratio. In this case, the ratio of the water and the cyclic carbonate compound is such that when the water and the cyclic carbonate compound are mixed together the mixture goes into a 2-phase state. Moreover, the oral composition may further comprise a polyol, and in this case the ratio of the water, the cyclic carbonate compound and the polyol is such that when the water, the cyclic carbonate compound and the polyol are mixed together the mixture goes into a 2-phase state. The oral composition has an excellent effect of removing accumulations on dental surfaces or between teeth through a physico-chemical action, rather than relying purely on a mechanical action.

Abstract: A framed soap composition comprises (a) from 20 to 50% by weight of a fatty acid soap, (b) from 1 to 15% by weight of a nonionic surfactant, and (c) from 0.1 to 5% by weight of an inorganic salt. A framed soap composition incorporated with air bubbles is produced by melting a mixture containing these components while heating the mixture in the presence of water, subjecting the resultant molten material to aeration treatment to incorporate air bubbles, and pouring the resultant molten material incorporated with air bubbles, into a frame followed by cooling to harden the molten material.

Abstract: A hair cosmetic is disclosed which comprises the following components (A), (B) and (C):(A) a cationic surfactant;(B) a fat and/or an oil; and(C) an alkyl saccharide surfactant represented by the following formula (1) :R.sup.1 --O--(R.sup.2 O).sub.m --G.sub.n (1)wherein the weight ratio of (A)/(C) is from 1 to 20. A hair cosmetic which further comprises fine particles of an average particle size of 100 .mu.m or below as the component (D) is also disclosed. The hair cosmetic of the present invention gives a good smoothness, a good elasticity and an oil-free feel to the hair without imparting any sticky feel or dry and loose feel thereto.
