Abstract

A cosmetic cleansing composition includes a) 0.1 to 30 wt. %, based on the total weight of the cleansing composition, of a surfactant selected from the group of anionic, non-ionic, and/or zwitterionic surfactants and mixtures thereof, b) at least one partially and/or non-neutralized, unbranched, saturated and/or unsaturated carboxylic acid with a chain length of 14 to 30 carbon atoms, and c) at least one non-ionic polymer of the formula (I) as set forth herein, where R represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group and n represents a whole number value from 1,360 to 99,000. The cleansing composition has a mousse-like texture and excellent cleansing and care properties.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A cosmetic cleansing composition, including:
a) 0.1 to 30 wt. %, based on the total weight of the cleansing composition, of a surfactant selected from the group of anionic, non-ionic and/or zwitterionic surfactants and mixtures thereof, b) at least one partially and/or non-neutralized, unbranched, saturated and/or unsaturated carboxylic acid with a chain length of 14 to 30 carbon atoms, and c) at least one non-ionic polymer of formula (I)

wherein R represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group and n represents a whole number value from 1,360 to 99,000.

2 . The cleansing composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one anionic and at least one non-ionic and/or zwitterionic surfactant is included, and wherein a weight ratio of the anionic surfactant(s) to the non-ionic and/or zwitterionic surfactant(s) is 3:1 to 1:2.

3 . The cleansing composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the anionic surfactant is included in a quantity from 0.3 to 30 wt. % based on the total weight of the cleansing composition.

4 . The cleansing composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the non-ionic and/or zwitterionic surfactant is contained in a quantity of 0.1 to 20 wt. % based on the total weight of the cleansing composition.

5 . The cleansing composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one anionic surfactant is selected from the group consisting of alkyl polyglycol ether sulfates, alkyl sulfates, and sulfosuccinic acid monoalkyl polyoxyethyl esters with 8 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl group and 1 to 10 oxyethyl groups.

6 . The cleansing composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one non-ionic surfactant is selected from the group consisting of polyethoxylated carboxylic acid esters with a chain length from 8 to 30 carbon atoms and a degree of ethoxylation from 5 to 50, ethoxylated glyceryl carboxylic acid esters with a degree of ethoxylation from 2 to 20, and alkyl oligoglucosides with 8 to 16 carbon atoms in the alkyl group.

7 . The cleansing composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one zwitterionic surfactant is selected from the group consisting of C 8-18 alkylamido(C 1-4 ) alkylbetaine.

8 . The cleansing composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one carboxylic acid b) is included in a quantity from 9 to 30 wt. % based on the total weight of the cleansing composition.

9 . The cleansing composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one carboxylic acid b) is selected from the group consisting of myristic acid, coconut acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, elaidic acid, petroselinic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, elaeostearic acid, arachidic acid, gadoleic acid, behenic acid, erucic acid, lignoceric acid, cerotic acid, and mixtures thereof.

10 . The cleansing composition as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the at least one carboxylic acid b) is selected from the group consisting of stearic acid and palmitic acid.

11 . The cleansing composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the non-ionic polymer c) of formula (I) is included in a quantity from 0.005 to 5 wt. % based on the total weight of the cleansing composition.

12 . The cleansing composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the non-ionic polymer c) is selected from the group consisting of polyethylene glycols, wherein n in the formula (I) represents a whole number value from 1,360 to 99,000.

13 . The cleansing composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cleansing composition also includes at least one hair- and/or skin-conditioning active ingredient, wherein the active ingredient is selected from the group consisting of oil components, cationic polymers, plant extracts and humectants.

14 . The cleansing composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cleansing composition has a pH value in the range from 4 to 6.
