  • Patent number: 10391046
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides personal care compositions comprising a surfactant system that includes an anionic surfactant, a zwitterionic or amphoteric surfactant and optionally a non-ionic surfactant; a preservative system; a pH modifier; optionally a moisturizer or a skin conditioner or both a moisturizer and a skin conditioner; and a viscosity adjusting system, wherein the viscosity adjusting system comprises glyceryl oleate and at least one additional viscosity adjusting agent. Use of the viscosity adjusting system can achieve viscosity levels that would otherwise not be possible by either agent alone, and allows for higher maximum viscosity levels while at the same time providing an emolliency to the formulation.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9592182
    Abstract: A liquid cleansing composition comprising water in a sufficient amount to form a fluid composition; fatty acid soap; a divalent metal salt in an amount to provide a viscosity to entrain gas; and entrained gas to provide a specific gravity of not greater than 1.05 g/cm3. Optionally, a surfactant can also be included. The cleansing composition has a whipped texture. Also, a method of making the liquid cleansing composition.
