  • Publication number: 20230014087
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a foam precursor liquid and foam cleansing composition that comprise a cellulose ether and surfactant. The precursor liquid results in a foam with excellent lather characteristics upon dispensing from a pump foam dispenser, and the liquid does not thicken to impede or clog the dispenser it is dispensed from. The foam precursor liquid is easily pourable prior to dispensing and makes refilling and reusing pump foam dispensers very convenient for consumers conscious about using less plastic.

  • Publication number: 20230000745
    Abstract: The invention relates to stable, mild and moisturizing lamellar liquid cleansing compositions which possess a lotion-like appearance conveying signals of enhanced moisturization. However, these liquids often are either unstable or cause poor lather production and other sensory deficits The use of a specific ratio of total acyl isethionates to acyl glutamates or other divalent anionic surfactant in a structured liquid product improve stability and lather production, mildness and acceptable odor.
