  • Cleansing composition
    Patent number: 9034350
    Abstract: A post-foaming cleansing composition comprises at least one anionic surfactant, at least one non-ionic gelling agent and at least one post-foaming agent. The ratio of anionic surfactant:non-ionic gelling agent is 4:1 or greater such that during manufacture a gel structure is formed. The gel structure remains substantially unchanged for at least 4 minutes after the addition of the said post-foaming agent to the remainder of the composition.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 14, 2004
    Date of Patent: May 19, 2015

  • GEL COMPOSITION
    Publication number: 20120263668
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a stable, post-foaming gel composition for use in personal cleansing which is able to enhance the sensory experience for a consumer by remaining adhered to the consumer's skin for longer before being washed off, enabling greater levels of, for example, skin moisturisation and fragrance, to be delivered to the skin, and is also able to exhibit enhanced stability and clarity.

  • Cleansing composition
    Publication number: 20040258643
    Abstract: A post-foaming cleansing composition comprises at least one anionic surfactant, at least one non-ionic gelling agent and at least one post-foaming agent. The ratio of anionic surfactant:non-ionic gelling agent is 4:1 or greater such that during manufacture, at least 4 minutes after the addition of the post-foaming agent to the remainder of the composition a gel structure is formed. The gel structure is retained for at least 12 months following manufacture when stored at 20° C. to 25° C. or below.

  • Personal cleaning composition
    Publication number: 20040234488
    Abstract: A package of cleaning composition comprises a surfactant, an aqueous acidic component and an aqueous alkaline component, the acid and alkali being provided in separate compartments within the package. On dispensing from the package the acid and alkali react together creating carbon dioxide gas which acts upon the surfactant to create a lather. The acid and alkali components both have a viscosity and less than 4000 cps.

  • Personal cleaning composition
    Publication number: 20040009885
    Abstract: A packaged cleaning composition comprising a surfactant, an aqueous acid component and an aqueous alkaline component, the acid and alkali components being provided in separate compartments within the package. On dispensing from the package the acid and alkali react together creating carbon dioxide gas which acts upon the surfactant to create a lather. The acid component is buffered to a pH ranging from 2 to 6.
