A substantially anhydrous, concentrated surfactant composition comprising a sugar-based surfactant; an amino acid based surfactant; a polyglycerol ester a polyhydroxy ether, or a combination of a polyglycerol ester a polyhydroxy ether; and, optionally, a glycol, wherein the substantially anhydrous surfactant composition contains less than about 12 weight percent of water.

Cosmetic compositions including about 0.1 to about 3 wt. % of a cationic surfactant grafted halloysite compound; about 0.5 to about 10 wt. % of a nonionic surfactant, a cationic surfactant, or a mixture thereof; and water, wherein all weight percentages are based on the total weight of the cosmetic composition. Methods of making and using the cosmetic compositions are also disclosed.

A cleansing composition containing pyrrolidone carboxylic acid, sodium lauryl sulfate, and a co-surfactant. The cleansing compositions can help skin maintain its natural barrier against bacteria, can help balance skin's pH, and can help skin retain moisture.

A cleaning composition for an oral appliance, including (A) and (B). (A) 0.05 mass % or more and 8 mass % or less of an anionic homopolymer or copolymer which has a mass average molecular weight of 2,000 or higher and 500,000 or lower and includes a constituent unit derived from (a1) an anionic monomer having a carboxyl group, a sulfo group, or a phosphoric acid group. (B) one or more surfactants selected from the group consisting of an anionic surfactant, a nonionic surfactant, and an amphoteric surfactant.

The disclosure relates to compositions for treating keratin materials. The compositions comprise (a) at least one amphoteric surfactant; (b) at least one anionic surfactant system comprising (i) at least one acyl taurate, (ii) at least one acyl isethionate, and (iii) at least one additional anionic surfactant; (c) at least one nonionic surfactant chosen from alkyl(poly)glycosides; (d) optionally, at least one cationic compound; and (e) sodium chloride, wherein the weight ratio of the (b) at least one anionic surfactant system to (e) sodium chloride ranges from about 5:1 to about 15:1. The disclosure also relates to methods of using the compositions.

An aqueous personal care composition comprising: one or more amphoacetates; one or more glutamate surfactants selected from sodium lauroyl glutamate, dipotassium cocoyl glutamate, potassium lauryl/myristoyl glutamate and combinations thereof; and cocamide MIPA; wherein the composition is free of sulfates and ethoxylates.

Surfactant compositions and derivatives with low amounts of impurities are disclosed along with a method of making the same. A surfactant composition includes greater than 80% by weight of N-acyl amino acid surfactant of formula (I) and is substantially free of solvents and/or NaCl. A process for preparing an N-acyl amino acid surfactant includes combining an amino acid, a waterless base and a fatty alkyl ester of formula (III) to form a mixture that includes an amino acid salt of formula (II). The temperature of the mixture is increased to form a reaction mixture. Alkyl alcohol is removed from the reaction mixture, and the reaction mixture becomes substantially clear.

Described herein, a transparent soap bar for cleaning the skin including a soap surfactant, a synthetic surfactant, a fragrance component, an amine component, an antioxidant salt, wherein the transparent soap bar has a percent transmittance (% T) value of greater than 40% as measured using the method of Measurement of % Transmittance.

Described herein, personal cleansing compositions, methods and uses. Personal cleansing compositions can include a surfactant, a perfume, a hydric solvent, and water, wherein the composition is structured.

The present invention relates to dermocosmetic formulations for use in combating skin aging, especially photoaging. The present invention promotes the increase of the synthesis of collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycans (GAG), in addition to significantly increase the activity of the superoxide dismutase enzyme (SOD) and the cell proliferation.
