Abstract: The invention relates to hydrous liquid paste or cream-like hand cleansing agents without organic solvents, especially a course hand cleanser with a rubbing agent. Said cleansing agents are characterized by a content of 10 to 30 wt. % of at least one vegetable oil from the group of triglycerides, saturated and/or unsaturated fatty acids, of 10 to 30 wt % of a tenside comprised of a fatty alcohol ethoxylate, at least one fatty alcohol ether sulfate and/or a salt of a sulfonated fatty acid, 10 to 65 wt. % water, each referring to the composition of the cleansing agent, and optionally 1 to 30 wt. % of at least one abrasive. In addition, the hand cleanser optionally contains at least one viscosity building agent and optional additional cosmetic auxiliary, accessory and/or active agents.

Abstract: The present invention relates to hydrous, liquid, paste- or cream-like skin cleaning agents for the removal of strongly adhering soil, comprising anionic and/or amphoteric and/or non-ionogenic surfactants as washing-active substances, thickeners, at least one abrasive, and, optionally, adjuvants for the regulation of consistency, appearance, odor, and stability, such as pigments, fragrances, stabilizers, and preservatives, which skin cleaning agents are characterized by the fact that they comprise di-n-butyl adipate and/or di-isopropyl adipate as the exclusive solvents. These agents are obtained by homogeneously mixing the components, optionally under heating of the mixture. If a C8-C16 fatty alcohol which acts as consistency regulator is added, heating of the component mixture may be omitted. Besides, the addition of the fatty alcohol increases the detergent action.
