  • Cleansing and moisturizing surfactant compositions
    Patent number: 6440907
    Abstract: Cleansing surfactant compositions are provided which cleanse, condition and moisturize the skin and hair and which exhibit a low degree of irritation to the eyes. These cleansing compositions preferably contain the following components: a. a surfactant portion containing: 1. a nonionic surfactant; 2. an amphoteric surfactant; and 3. an anionic surfactant; the total connection of said nonionic, amphoteric and anionic surfactants being present in the composition in an amount from about 5 to about 20 percent by weight of said cleansing composition; and b. a substantive humectant present in the composition in an amount from about 0.01 to about 3 percent by weight of said cleansing composition. The substantive humectants used in the present invention are preferably cationically charged polyols derived from sugars or sugar derivatives and they further comprise a long chain alkyl or alkenyl group having from about 6 to 22 carbon atoms.
