Abstract: A cleansing composition based on oily substances, particularly for cleansing skin and/or hair and having excellent dermatological properties, is described. The composition is characterized in that it comprises one or more oily substances at a total concentration of between 10% and 90% by weight relative to the composition and one or more surfactants selected from the N-acylates of amino-acids, proteins, and peptides, in acid or neutralized form, at a total concentration within the range of between 2% and 80% by weight relative to the composition, and in that it is substantially anhydrous or has a water content no greater than 10% by weight.

Abstract: The invention describes detergent or cosmetic compositions provided with hydrating and preserving properties and simultaneously sebum regulating, anti-dandruff, and/or anti-odour properties. These compositions include a capryloyl glutamate salt and/or capryloyl hydrolysate of wheat and/or rice protein. Since the salt utilised is able also to provide a self-preservative and hydrating effect the compositions of the invention do not need any addition of further self-preservative or hydrating agents or, at most, contain concentrations thereof which are not efficacious per se.

Abstract: The invention describes detergent or cosmetic compositions having hydrating and preservative properties and simultaneously anti-dandruff and/or anti-odor properties. These compositions comprise a salt of undecylenoil glutamate and/or undecylenoil hydrolyzate of wheat and/or rice proteins. Since such salts are able to perform also a preservative and hydrating effect the compositions of the invention do no need the addition of further preservative or hydrating agents or, at most, contain concentrations thereof which are not efficacious per se.
