Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A personal care composition comprising: at least a first phase and a second phase wherein said first phase comprises a) an aqueous structured surfactant phase comprising STnS where n is between about 0 and about 2.5; b) ; c) a structuring system comprising i. optionally, a non-ionic emulsifier; ii. optionally, from about 0.05% to about 5%, by weight of said personal care composition, of an associative polymer; iii. an electrolyte; and said second phase comprises a) a benefit phase comprising from 1% to about 50%, by weight of said personal care composition, of a hydrophobic benefit agent.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A personal care composition comprising at least a cleansing phase and a benefit phase wherein said cleansing phase comprises: a) an aqueous structured surfactant phase comprising from about 5% to about 13%, by weight of said personal care composition, of STnS where n is between 0 and about 2.5; b) at least one of the following: an amphoteric surfactant and a zwitterionic surfactant; c) a structuring system comprising: i. optionally, a non-ionic emulsifier; ii. from about 0.05% to about 5%, by weight of said personal care composition, of an associative polymer; iii. an electrolyte; and said benefit phase comprises: a) a benefit phase comprising from 0.1% to about 50%, by weight of said personal care composition, of a hydrophobic benefit agent comprising at least one of soybean oil, glycerol monooleate, petrolatum, and combinations thereof; wherein said personal care composition is free of alkyl sulfate. 2. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein said personal care composition comprises from about 0.05% to about 0.5%, by weight of said personal care composition, of associative polymer. 3. The personal care composition of claim 2 , wherein said associative polymer comprises polyacrylates, hydrophobically modified polysaccharides, hydrophobically modified urethanes, and/or mixtures thereof. 4. The personal care composition of claim 3 , wherein said associative polymer comprises an alkyl acrylate polymer. 5. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein said nonionic emulsifier has an HLB of from about 3.4 to 13.0. 6. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein said nonionic emulsifier is selected from the group consisting of glyceryl monohydroxystearate, isosteareth-2, trideceth-2, trideceth-3, hydroxystearic acid, propylene glycol stearate, PEG-2 stearate, sorbitan monostearate, glyceryl laurate, laureth-2, cocamide monoethanolamine, lauramide monoethanolamine, and mixtures thereof. 7. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein the nonionic emulsifier comprises at least one of the following: trideceth-2 and trideceth-3. 8. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte comprises an anion selected from the group consisting of phosphate, chloride, sulfate, citrate, and mixtures thereof; and a cation selected from the group consisting of sodium, ammonium, potassium, magnesium, and mixtures thereof. 9. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein said electrolyte is selected from the group consisting of sodium chloride, ammonium chloride, sodium sulfate, ammonium sulfate, and mixtures thereof. 10. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein said personal care composition comprises from about 0.5 to about 5%, by weight of said personal care composition, of electrolyte. 11. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein said benefit phase is anhydrous. 12. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein said benefit agent is selected from the group consisting of petrolatum; lanolin; natural waxes; synthetic waxes; lanolin; derivatives of lanolin; volatile organosiloxanes; derivatives of volatile organosiloxanes; non-volatile organosiloxanes; derivatives of non-volatile organosiloxanes; lanolin oil; lanolin esters; natural triglycerides; synthetic triglycerides; and combinations thereof. 13. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein said benefit agent has a Vaughan Solubility Parameter of from about 5 (cal/cm 3 ) 0.5 to about 15 (cal/cm 3 ) 0.5. 14. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein said benefit agent is selected from the group consisting of petrolatum, mineral oil, and mixtures thereof. 15. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein said benefit agent comprises soybean oil. 16. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein said benefit phase is substantially free of surfactant. 17. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein n is between about 1.1 and about 2.5. 18. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein n is about 2. 19. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein the aqueous structured surfactant phase comprises from about 5% to about 10%, by weight of the personal care composition, of STnS. 20. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein the benefit agent comprises glyceryl monooleate. 21. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein the aqueous structured surfactant phase has at least about a 90% lamellar structure. 22. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein the diluted 50% lamellar phase volume is about 80% or less. 23. The personal care composition of claim 1 , wherein the aqueous structured surfactant phase has a Zero Shear Viscosity of about 1000 Pa-s or more.
