  • Patent number: 9265714
    Abstract: An aqueous cleansing composition comprising a cationic surfactant, a nonionic surfactant, and a thickener comprising an alkoxylated methyl glucose ether, wherein a weight ratio of cationic surfactant to nonionic surfactant is greater than 0.9:1. The combination of the cationic:nonionic surfactant ratio with the alkoxylated methyl glucose ether thickener provides the composition with cold weather stability. Cold weather stability is observed when the composition remains transparent after cold storage.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 17, 2015
    Date of Patent: February 23, 2016
    Assignee: COLGATE-PALMOLIVE COMPANY
    Inventors: Eugene Hardy, Marian Holerca, Rabab Ahmed, Evangelia Arvanitidou
  • Publication number: 20150313827
    Abstract: Provided is a personal cleansing composition for application to the skin which comprises a zinc X halide present in an amount to provide at least 0.36 weight % of the composition of zinc, and a surfactant, wherein X is an amino acid or trimethylglycine. Methods of making and using the compositions are also provided. The zinc X halide is can be used to deliver zinc salts to reduce or prevent sunburn, kill bacteria, or reduce perspiration.
