Abstract: This invention relates to a monohydric alcohol free process for making transparent pour molded personal cleansing bars which exhibit good hardness characteristics. The process comprises: (I) making a molten mixture of from 18 parts to 35 parts soap, wherein said soap is at least 50% insoluble sodium soap; from 14 parts to 32 parts water; from 5 parts to 37 parts synthetic surfactant; and from 18 parts to 37 parts of a water soluble organic solvent, wherein the combined level of water and water soluble organic solvent within the molten mixture is at least 40 parts; and (II) transferring a unit amount of said molten mixture into a bar forming mold or tube and (III) allowing said molded unit to cool in acquiescent conditions into a mild, low smearing transparent personal cleansing bar.The preferred bars made by the process of the present invention are more weight stable than bars made with several parts of alcohol.

Abstract: The compositions of the present invention relate to improved personal cleansing compositions comprising a surfactant system, from above about 0.1% to below 1% of a nonionic or anionic water soluble polymer, a phase separation initiator and water. These compositions provide improved lathering and conditioning benefits.

Abstract: The compositions of the present invention relate to improved personal cleansing compositions comprising a surfactant system comprising at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting alkyl glyceryl ether sulphonate surfactants, from above about 0.1% of a nonionic or anionic water soluble polymer, a phase separation initiator and water. These compositions provide improved lathering and conditioning benefits.

Abstract: A personal cleansing product comprising: (a) from about 5% to about 50% by weight of a mixed surfactant system which comprises: (i) from about 1% to about 20% by weight of composition of anionic surfactant, and (ii) from about 1% to about 20% by weight of composition of amphoteric surfacant, (b) from about 3% to about 40% by weight of an insoluble nonionic oil or wax, and (c) water, wherein the anionic surfactant and amphoteric surfactant together comprises from about 5% to about 30% by weight of the composition, the weight ratio of anionic surfactant:amphoteric surfactant is in the range from about 1:5 to about 20:1, the weight ratio of total surfactant:nonionic oil or wax is in the range from about 10:1 to about 1:3, and wherein the composition is in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion having a viscosity in the range from 10,000 to 40,000 cps and a yield point of at least 50 dyne/cm.sup.2. The cleaning products demonstrate excellent lathering, mildness, stability, rinsibility and conditioning benefits.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for treating acne and related pilosebaceous disorders with a safe and effective amount of salicylic acid and pantothenic acid or a pantothenic acid derivative. This combination of materials is found to be less irritating and drying to the skin than salicylic acid alone.

Abstract: The present invention relates to emulsion compositions which are useful for imparting both an artificial tan to human skin and for providing protection to the skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation. These compositions have good stability at acidic pH values, are highly substantive to the skin, and provide a natural looking tan.
