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.

The invention relates to solidification of liquid amine oxide, betaine, and/or sultaine surfactants with a binder to form a solidified surfactant composition. In particular, the invention relates to solidification of liquid surfactants utilizing drying device(s), wherein the feed composition contains at least one liquid surfactant and a binder and optional carrier to form a solidified surfactant composition. The solidified surfactant compositions can be useful in various cleaning 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.

The present invention relates to a hand dishwashing cleaning composition including a desirable foam rheology profile. In particular, the composition includes a surfactant system comprising an alkyl polyglucoside surfactant having a mixture of: (a) 60% or more of a first alkyl polyglucoside surfactant material having an average carbon chain length between 10 and 12; and (b) 40% or less of a second alkyl polyglucoside surfactant material having an average alkyl carbon chain length between 12 and 16. Such compositions exhibit surprising and unexpected good sudsing profile, preferably suitable suds rheology and aesthetics, especially when applied onto a cleaning implement upon dilution with wash water during the dishwashing process.

The present invention relates to a liquid hand dishwashing cleaning composition including a surfactant system, wherein the surfactant system includes an anionic surfactant and a co-surfactant, wherein the anionic surfactant includes a mixture of a linear anionic surfactant and a branched anionic surfactant with a defined degree of branching and with the branching predominantly on an unalkoxylated alkyl sulfate surfactant. Such compositions exhibit surprising and unexpected improved sudsing profile, preferably stable suds, especially when the manual dishwashing is performed in a sink full of water with the cleaning composition diluted in it.

A porous dissolvable solid can include an isethionate surfactant; a non-sulfate anionic surfactant; and an amphoteric surfactant, a zwitterionic surfactant, or a combination thereof.

A composition is provided containing a pH adjuster, a surfactant, and a solvent, wherein the composition has the ability to solubilize MAAs that creates dark streaks on roof shingles. The method of making the composition involves mixing a pH adjuster and a surfactant with water. A method of using is provided in which additional water is added to the composition. Once the composition is diluted and the desired alkalinity is reached, the composition is sprayed on a roof through a device having a spray/stream end. The output from the spray/stream end of the device transforms secreted MAA present on the roof shingles into an orange color upon contact. The resulting orange residue is then rinsed off from the shingles to provide a new looking roof.
