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.

An automatic dishwashing cleaning composition having a new protease.

An automatic dishwashing cleaning composition having a new protease.

A cleaning composition for an oral appliance, including the following components (A) and (B): (A) an unsaturated fatty acid having 10 or more and 20 or less carbon atoms or a salt thereof in an amount of 0.5 mass % or more and 14 mass % or less in terms of the fatty acid, and (B) one or more surfactants selected from the group consisting of an anionic surfactant (b1), a nonionic surfactant (b2), and an amphoteric surfactant (b3), and the composition has a pH at 25° C. of 5.5 or higher and 14 or lower.

A surfactant composition comprising a sugar-based surfactant comprising a C8-C16 alkyl glucoside, a C8-C16 alkyl polyglucoside, or a combination of a C8-C16 alkyl glucoside and a C8-C16 alkyl polyglucoside; a C8-C18 amphodiacetate; a C8-C16 acyl sarcosinate, a C8-C16 acyl glutamate, a C8-C16 acyl glycinate, or a combination thereof; and optionally a C8-C14 acyl lactylate, wherein the composition is free of sulfated anionic surfactants.

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.

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 invention discloses synergistic combinations of surfactant blends and cleaning compositions employing the same. In certain embodiments a surfactant system is disclosed which includes an extended anionic surfactant with novel co-surfactants including one or more of an alkyl glycerol ether, an ethoxylated alkyl glycerol ether, an alcohol ethoxylate and/or a gemini surfactant. This system forms emulsions with, and can remove greasy and oily stains, even those comprised of non-trans fats. The compositions may be used alone, as a pre-spotter or other pre-treatment or as a part of a soft surface or hard surface cleaning composition.

The present invention relates to a method of preparing N-acyl amino acids selected from N-acyl cysteine compounds, N-acyl serine compounds, N-acyl aspartic acid compounds and N-acyl glutamic acid compounds. The present invention also relates to the use of N-acyl cysteine, N-acyl serine, N-acyl aspartic acid and N-acyl glutamic acid surfactants, in removing per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) from mixtures containing PFASs, such as soil and groundwater contaminated with PFASs and for use in cleaning compositions, detergent compositions and toothpaste compositions.

Sustainable, free-flowing, cold-dispersible pearlescent concentrates are made without using any controversial or known toxic substance is disclosed herein. The pearlizing concentrates of the instant invention are free of alkyl sulphates/alkyl ether sulphates, alkanol amides, alkylamidopropyl betaines, and esters of ethylene glycol. The pearly concentrates of the present invention employ ‘super-mild’ surfactants to disperse vegetable plant derived 1,3-proane diol stearates. Also, these concentrates are preserved without any controversial antimicrobials such as parabens, isothiazolinones and formaldehyde releasers.
