  • Publication number: 20070224155
    Abstract: Cleansing compositions are described that comprise at least one surfactant, at least one extract of a Lamiaceae family plant, and at least one extract of a Liliaceae family plant. The at least one extract of the Lamiaceae family plant and the at least one extract of the Liliaceae family plant are present in effective amounts to at least partially counteract skin irritation induced by the at least one surfactant. Methods of reducing skin irritation induced by a surfactant comprise contacting skin with a detergent comprising at least one surfactant, at least one extract of a Lamiaceae family plant, and at least one extract of a Liliaceae family plant, wherein the at least one extract of the Lamiaceae family plant, and the at least one extract of the Liliaceae family plant at least partially counteract irritation induced by the at least one surfactant.

  • Patent number: 4857114
    Abstract: Floor polish remover compositions containing a low molecular weight nonionic surfactant, an alkaline builder, a hydrotrope and an amine. In one aspect, the floor polish remover composition of the present invention includes demineralized water such that the composition is in liquid form. The low molecular weight nonionic surfactants used in the present invention are the condensation products of low molecular weight alcohols having an average of from about 5 to about 11 carbon atoms with an alkylene oxide. A method of making the floor polish remover compositions of the present invention and their methods of use are also provided.
