  • Patent number: 8691301
    Abstract: A self gassing composition comprising at least one surfactant and a fermentation base including a gas producing organism and at least one sugar is disclosed. Use of a nonionic surfactant in the self gassing composition allows the fermentation base to continue reacting and producing gas. Additionally, a personal care cleansing product and method for storing and delivering an aqueous composition having at least one surfactant and pressurized gas dissolved therein is disclosed. In one aspect, the composition is stored in an internal reservoir in a container such that when a sealing device is removed from a valveless opening, the composition foams and plumes out the opening of the container as the gas dissolved in the composition is released. In addition to the self gassing composition, a pressurized gas may be injected into a surfactant composition to produce the gas pressurized cleaning composition.

  • Publication number: 20100256033
    Abstract: A cleansing composition including a sarcosine based surfactant is disclosed. Desirably, the cleansing composition contains a sarcosinate surfactant. Additional cleansing surfactants that are nonionic, anionic, cationic, amphoteric, zwitterionic, or combinations thereof, may also be incorporated into the cleansing composition. The cleansing composition may be used in combination with a product, such as a personal care product, to improve aesthetic properties of that product such as glide across the skin. As such, the cleansing product has a coefficient of friction of less than about 0.40. More particularly, cleansing compositions may be incorporated into or onto a substrate, such as a wipe substrate, an absorbent substrate, a fabric or cloth substrate, or a tissue substrate, among others.
