Abstract: A foaming aqueous body-cleansing composition of (a) an anionic surfactant, (b) an alkyl (oligo)glycoside, (c) a zwitterionic surfactant, (d) an ampholytic surfactant is presented. The body cleansing composition produces a stable, fine-bubble, creamy-feeling foam.

Abstract: This invention concerns foaming aqueous compositions of body-cleansing agents containing anionic surfactants (A) with a strong foaming action and alkyl-(oligo)-glucosides (B) which are easily tolerated by the skin, and a combination of a zwitterionic surfactant (C). e.g., a betaine surfactant, and an ampholytic surfactant (D). e.g. a cocoamphoglycinate, to improve foaming properties and viscosity. Combining betaine and ampholytic surfactants yields a particularly creamy foam structure, consisting of particularly tiny bubbles when using said compositions.

Abstract: Aqueous detergent preparations containing 1-20 wt. % of a condensation product of fatty acids with 12-22 carbon atoms and water-soluble oligo- and/or polypeptides and their water-soluble salts, and 1-20 wt. % of an alkyl glycoside are characterized by their excellent foaming capacity and increased viscosity or ease of thickening on addition of 1-8 wt. % of an amphoteric or zwitterionic tenside and/or 0.1-5 wt. % of a water-soluble, inorganic electrolytic salt, e.g. a chloride or sulphate of an alkali metal or magnesium.
