Abstract: The present invention relate to liquid cleansing compositions comprising 12-HSA which are both processable and stable. Applicants have defined a specific composition window (defined by specific types and ratios of fatty acid and/or fatty acid soaps, as well as critical ceiling for 12-HSA and floor levels of polyol) where these objectives can be met.

Abstract: The invention provides high viscosity, low polyol compositions. By using surfactant system wherein 50% or more of the surfactant system comprises a surfactant of defined Vh/Icao value, it is possible to provide such composition having good foam appearance. If surfactants of such value are not used, the high polyol, low viscosity composition have “bad” foam attributes (not “self-foaming), when measured for example after pumping through mechanical pump (composition has 0 to 0.5% propellant gel or gas).

Abstract: The present invention relates to an antimicrobial composition and more particularly an antimicrobial composition for leave-on applications. The present invention discloses an antimicrobial composition comprising; a) 0.01 to 2% by weight of thymol; b) 0.01 to 2% by weight of terpineol; and c) 0.1 to 2% by weight of a cationic phospholipid complex.

Abstract: The invention relates to concentrated liquid cleansing compositions in lamellar phase which possess a lotion-like appearance conveying signals of enhanced moisturization. The use of a specific ratio of synthetic anionic surfactant(s) and co-surfactant(s) to fatty acid(s) in a structured liquid product was found to improve lather production by moderating or eliminating the increase in viscosity upon dilution. In a further embodiment, specific small hydrophobic molecules were found to improve freeze/thaw stability and thereby cause the inventive composition to maintain noticeable moisturization signals.

Abstract: A flowable concentrated soap cleansing composition is provided which includes from 40 to 65% of C12-C18 fatty acid mixture in combined amount of salt and free acid forms, the mixture having C12-C14 chain length present in greater amount than C16-C18 chain length of fatty acid. Further, the composition includes 25 to 50% water, 1 to 15% of a first anti-crystallization agent, and 2 to 15% of a second anti-crystallization agent. The first anti-crystallization agent is sodium lauryl ether sulfate with a weight average ethoxylation of from 0.5 to 2 moles ethylene oxide per mole of sulfate. The second anti-crystallization agent is polypropylene glycol of weight average molecular weight ranging from 195 to 10,000. The composition has a viscosity ranging from 10 to 100 Pa*s at 20° C. as measured after 2 minutes at 10 rpm on a Brookfield Viscometer using Spindle RV 7.
