Abstract: An aqueous foaming cosmetic composition comprising (a) from 0.1 to 7% of an imidazolinium amphoteric surfactant, (b) from about 0.1% to about 5.0% of a polyol alkoxy ester wherein the ratio of (a):(b) is from about 15:1 to about 1:1 and wherein the cleansing composition has a viscosity of at least about 150 cps (Brookfield RVT, Spindle No TB, 10 rpm, 25.degree. C.). The composition has improved foam stability, together with excellent cleansing performance and mildness. It is suitable for use as make-up and facial cleansers, foam bath, shower products, shampoos etc.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions which provide both a skin cleansing and skin moisturizing benefit from the same product. These compositions provide improved lathering and cleansing characteristics, are extremely mild to the skin, and deliver a moisturizing agent to the skin. These compositions comprise at least one anionic surfactant, a dispersed, insoluble oil phase, at least one additional surfactant, an optional suspending agent, and water. This invention also relates to methods for providing combined cleansing and moisturization, and to methods for delivering these compositions as a foam.

Abstract: A skin care composition in the form of a substantially oil-free aqueous gel comprising a water-soluble humectant, a hydrophilic gelling agent and a specific silicone component. The compositions provide improved skin feel and residue characteristics together with excellent moisturizing, emolliency, rub-in and absorption characteristics.

Abstract: A skin care composition in the form of a substantially oil-free aqueous gel comprising a water-soluble humectant, a hydrophilic gelling agent, a specific silicone component and a specific cationic surfactant component. The compositions provide improved oil control along with improved skin feel and residue characteristics together with excellent moisturizing, emolliency, rub-in and absorption characteristics.

Abstract: The present invention relates to stabilized compositions, preferably in the form of oil-in-water emulsions, for imparting an artificial tan to human skin. The water phase of these compositions contains dihydroxyacetone and at least one alkyl hydroxyalkylcellulose or derivative thereof. The oil phase contains at least one fatty acid or fatty acid derivative. The weight ratio of fatty acid or fatty acid derivative to alkyl hydroxyalkylcellulose is most preferably from about 10:1 to about 5:1. In further embodiments, these emulsion compositions contain one or more sunscreens, and are also useful for protecting human skin from the harmful effects of sunlight and other sources of ultraviolet radiation.

Abstract: Disclosed are sunscare compositions having enhanced substantivity, efficacy and the like for protecting the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet irradiation, such as sunburn and sun-induced premature aging of the skin.
