Abstract: The invention relates to lamellar liquid composition comprising acyl isethionate, methyl acyl taurate, amphoteric and/or zwitterionic surfactant. Unexpectedly, applicants have found that, when ratio of isethionate to taurate is kept at about to 1:1, enhanced lather is achieved. Other criticalities include ratio of amphoteric and/or zwitterionic to anionic surfactant, total amount of surfactant, and pH.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an isotropic concentrate composition that is easy to hydrate and transform into an end use wash composition. The end use wash composition resulting from the concentrate composition is suitable for topical application and for hand washing. The concentrate comprises fragrance oil and emulsifier at levels that unexpectedly result in a concentrate composition and end use composition that are free of ingredient precipitation that interferes with the appearance and usage of the compositions.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a stable composition wash composition. The wash composition comprises a mixture of naturally derived and biodegradable sulfated polysaccharides. The wash composition has a viscosity of 40,000 cps or less, and surprisingly, is free of syneresis, discoloration and malodor, even after being stored at elevated temperatures.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a hydratable concentrated surfactant composition. The composition is pourable, easy to dilute, substantially free of sulfate and oil, comprises a C6-C14 acid, alcohol or both, an anionic surfactant comprising acyl isethionate and an amphoteric surfactant, zwitterionic surfactant or both. The composition is in lamellar phase and thickens and transforms to an isotropic phase upon dilution. The composition can be used as a concentrate in small volumes and diluted as used and needed or can be diluted with water in refill packaging to ensure a reduction in plastic waste.

Abstract: The invention relates to isotropic liquid composition comprising acyl isethionate, methyl acyl taurate and amphoteric, zwitterionic and/or nonionic surfactant. Unexpectedly, it has been found that, when ratio of isethionate to taurate is monitored, enhanced lather is achieved.
