Abstract: A composition that includes spray-dried yoghurt powder and at least one anionic surfactant and/or at least one fatty acid soap, may be used as a prebiotic for inhibiting the growth and/or the physiological activity of undesired skin bacteria and/or for obtaining desired skin bacteria. A prebiotically effective cosmetic composition includes: a) at least one fatty acid soap in a weight proportion of between 20 and 75 wt. %, preferably between 30 and 70 wt. %, particularly preferably between 40 and 65 wt. %, and in particular between 45 and 60 wt. %; and b) spray-dried yoghurt powder in a weight proportion of between 0.01 and 10 wt. %, preferably 0.02 and 7.5 wt. %, particularly preferably between 0.03 and 5 wt. %, and in particular between 0.05 and 3 wt. %, wherein the amounts relate to the total weight of the cosmetic composition.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cosmetic cleansing composition which contains at least one nonionic surfactant having the following formula (I) R1CO—N(R2)—CH2—CH(OH)—CH(OH)—CH(OH)—CH(OH)—CH2OH??(I), wherein R1CO denotes a straight-chained or branched, saturated or unsaturated C8-C22-acyl radical and R2 denotes a C1-C4-alkyl radical and at least one polyethylene glycol of a molar mass MW with an average mass of 1,000,000 to 10,000,000 Dalton is contained. The cosmetic cleansing compositions are storage- and temperature-stable and generate large amounts of a dense, creamy foam which can be distributed well and glides on the skin and can also be rinsed off well and leaves a smooth, soft and nourished skin feeling. The cleansing agents also have a very pleasant texture. With an additional content of special thickening agents, the rheology and removability of the cleansing agents from the respective container can be controlled and/or adjusted particularly well.

Abstract: A cosmetic cleansing agent includes biosurfactants, serving as the surfactants, in combination with an anionic surfactant and a thickener. The cosmetic cleansing agent in total includes less than 0.1 wt. %. polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, ethylene oxide-containing compounds, and propylene oxide-containing compounds. A cosmetic cleansing agent having excellent foaming properties and cleansing properties may thus be provided, even though no, or substantially no, foam-promoting ethylene oxide-containing surfactants are present.
