Abstract

Provided is a cleansing preparation, which takes a clear liquid form, develops neither a reduction in cleansing power nor deteriorations in appearance and sensation upon application even when water is mixed in, and has resistance to water. The clear liquid cleansing preparation contains the following ingredients (A) to (D): (A) at least one nonionic surfactant selected from:

• • • (a) a monoglycerol fatty acid ester having a C_12-18 fatty acid residue,
    • (b) a polyglycerol fatty acid ester having a C_12-18 fatty acid residue, (c) isostearyl pentaerythryl glyceryl ether, or (d) a liquid nonionic surfactant having polyalkylene glycol chains and exhibiting IOB value of from 0.75 to 1.05, (B) a nonionic surfactant other than the first-mentioned nonionic surfactant (A), and exhibiting IOB value of at least 1.1 (C) a liquid oil ingredient, and (D) at most 12 wt. % of water, wherein the preparation is free of white turbidity when 50 parts by weight of water is added to 100 parts by weight of the preparation.

Claims

1. A clear liquid cleansing preparation comprising the following ingredients (A) to (D):

(A) at least one nonionic surfactant selected from;

(a) a monoglycerol fatty acid ester having a C_12-18 fatty acid residue,

(b) a polyglycerol fatty acid ester having a C_12-18 fatty acid residue,

(c) isostearyl pentaerythryl glyceryl ether, or

(d) a liquid nonionic surfactant having polyalkylene glycol chains and exhibiting IOB value of from 0.75 to 1.05,

(B) a nonionic surfactant other than the first-mentioned nonionic surfactant (A), and exhibiting IOB value of at least 1.1,

(c) a liquid oil ingredient, and

(d) at most 12 wt. % of water,

wherein said preparation is free of white turbidity when 50 parts by weight of water is added to 100 parts by weight of said preparation.

2. The cleansing preparation according to claim 1, wherein said nonionic surfactant (B) is at least one nonionic surfactant selected from a polyoxyethylene mono fatty acid ester, a polyoxyethylene glycerol fatty acid ester, a polyoxyethylene glyceryl mono fatty acid ester, an alkyl glucoside or a polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid ester.

3. The cleansing preparation according to claim 1 or 2, which comprises from 1 to 15 wt. % of said ingredient (A) and from 5 to 30 wt. % of said ingredient (B).

4. The cleansing preparation according to any one of claims 1-3, which comprises from 50 to 85 wt. % of said ingredient (C).

5. The cleansing preparation according to any one of claims 1-4, further comprising the following ingredient (E) (E) a nonionic surfactant, higher alcohol, higher fatty acid or glycerol derivative, each having IOB value not greater than 0.6.

6. The cleansing preparation according to any one of claims 1-5, wherein said monoglycerol fatty acid ester (a) in said ingredient (A) is selected from glycerol monooleate, glycerol monolinoleate or glycerol monoisostearate.

7. The cleansing preparation according to any one of claims 1-6, wherein said polyglycerol fatty acid ester (b) in said ingredient (A) is an ester of a C_12-18 fatty acid with a polyglycerol having a polymerization degree of from 2 to 6.

8. The cleansing preparation according to any one of claims 1-7, which comprises, as said ingredient (A), said monoglycerol fatty acid ester (a) and said polyglycerol fatty acid ester (b) in a range of from 20:

80 to 80;

20 (weight ratio).

9. The cleansing preparation according to any one of claims 1-8, wherein said liquid nonionic surfactant (d) in said ingredient (A) is selected from a polyoxyethylene fatty acid ester, a polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, a fatty acid polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, a polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid ester, a polyoxyethylene sorbitol fatty acid ester, a polyoxyethylene glycerol fatty acid ester, a polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil, or a polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene alkyl ether.

10. The cleansing preparation according to any one of claims 1-9, wherein a temperature at which said preparation takes a clear or semi-clear form when up to 100 parts by weight of water is added to and mixed with 100 parts by weight of said preparation lies within a range of from 28 to 32°

C.

11. A cleansing preparation comprising:

(d) a liquid nonionic surfactant having a polyalkylene glycol chain and IOB value of from 0.75 to 1.05,

(B) a nonionic surfactant having IOB value of at least 1.1,

(C) a liquid oil ingredient,

(D) at most 12 wt. % of water, and

(E) a nonionic surfactant, higher alcohol, higher fatty acid or glycerol derivative, each having IOB value of 0.6 or lower,

wherein a temperature at which said preparation takes a clear or semi-clear form when up to 100 parts by weight of water is added to and mixed with 100 parts by weight of said preparation lies within a range of from 28 to 32°
