Foaming compositions containing one or more gas bubble-stabilizing agents and an effervescent system such that the foaming compositions create stable foams, foaming products containing such foaming compositions, and methods for making such foaming compositions and foaming products are provided.

Fibrous wall material pouch containing one or more fibrous structures including a hydroxyl polymer; and one or more anionic surfactants including a glutamate surfactant is provided.

Surfactants based on a newly discovered class of compounds include a hydrophobic lipid oligomer covalently linked to a peptide or peptide-like chain and a carbohydrate moiety, and a serine-leucinol dipeptide linked to the lipid oligomer. Such surfactants can be used to create an oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion by mixing together a polar component; a non-polar component; and the surfactant. Biosurfactants of the newly discovered class can be made by isolating and culturing a microorganism which produces the biosurfactant, and then isolating the biosurfactant from the culture. A microorganism can be engineered to produce biosurfactant of this newly discovered class by expressing a set of heterologous genes involved in the biosynthesis of the biosurfactant in the microorganism.

This invention relates to syndet-based compositions having pH of 4.5 to 5.5 wherein use of caprylic acid has been unexpectedly found to enhance bacterial kill.

The present disclosure relates to cleansing compositions that are free of sulfate-based surfactants and free of sodium chloride. The cleansing compositions include: (a) one or more non-sulfate anionic surfactants; one or more amphoteric surfactants; one or more nonionic surfactants; (d) one or more hydrophobically modified poly(meth)acrylates; one or more silicones; and water. The cleansing compositions are particularly useful for cleansing hair and providing conditioning benefits to the hair.
