SHELF STABLE SKIN CLEANSING LIQUID WITH GEL FORMING POLYMER, LIPID AND CRYSTALLINE ETHYLENE GLYCOL FATTY ACID ESTER

摘要

The liquid of the present invention can provide good cleansing, lather and good sensory feel and yet surprisingly provide a lipid moisturizing benefit via deposition of the lipid on the skin of the user. The liquid composition is stable and on a macro scale is homogeneous. The dual cleansing and lipid moisturizing liquid composition of this invention comprises: (1) about 5 parts to about 30 parts of a lipid skin moisturizing agent; (2) about 1 to about 15 parts of an ethylene glycol fatty acid ester; (3) from about 0.05 parts to about 3 parts of a selected water dispersible gel forming polymer; (4) from about 5 parts to about 30 parts of a lathering synthetic surfactant; and (5) water, and wherein said synthetic surfactant and any soap has a combined CMC equilibrium surface tension value of from 15 to 50, and wherein said lathering skin cleansing liquid composition has a Lipid Deposition Value (LDV) of from about 5 to about 1000 .mu.g of lipid per sq. cm of skin.
