Abstract

The present invention relates to a mild body wash composition that contains a surfactant component containing a surfactant or a mixture of surfactants; wherein said mild body wash composition has a Structured Domain Volume Ratio of at least about 70%; and where said surfactant component provides a Total Lather Volume of at least about 600 ml.

Claims

1. A mild body wash composition comprising a surfactant component comprising a surfactant or a mixture of surfactants;

wherein said mild body wash composition has a Structured Domain Volume Ratio of at least about 70%; and

wherein said surfactant component provides a Total Lather Volume of at least about 600 ml.

2. The mild body wash composition of claim 1, wherein said mild body wash composition has a Structured Domain Volume Ratio of at least about 75%.

3. The mild body wash composition of claim 2, wherein said mild body wash composition has a Structured Domain Volume Ratio of at least about 80%.

4. The mild body wash composition of claim 3, wherein said mild body wash composition has a Structured Domain Volume Ratio of at least about 85%.

5. The mild body wash composition of claim 1, wherein said surfactant component provides a Total Lather Volume of at least about 800 ml.

6. The mild body wash composition of claim 1, wherein said surfactant component provides a Yield Point of greater than about 0.5 Pascal.

7. The mild body wash composition of claim 1, comprising from about 1% to about 95%, by weight of the composition, of said surfactant component.

8. The mild body wash composition of claim 1, wherein said surfactant is selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactant, nonionic surfactant, zwitterionic surfactant, cationic surfactant, amphoteric surfactant, soap, and mixtures thereof.

9. The mild body wash composition of claim 8, wherein said anionic surfactant is selected from the group consisting of alkyl ether sulfates, alkyl sulfonates and mixtures thereof.

10. The mild body wash composition of claim 8, wherein said amphoteric surfactant is selected from the group consisting of sodium lauroamphoacetate, sodium cocoamphoactetate, disodium lauroamphoacetate, and disodium cocodiamphoacetate, and mixtures thereof.

11. The mild body wash composition of claim 8, wherein said nonionic surfactant is selected from the group consisting of glyceryl monohydroxystearate, steareth-2, propylene glycol stearate, sorbitan monostearate, glyceryl stearate, laureth-2, and mixtures thereof.

12. The mild body wash composition of claim 8, comprising from about 0.1% to about 50%, by weight of said surfactant component, of said nonionic surfactant.

13. The mild body wash composition of claim 8, wherein said nonionic surfactant has an HLB of from about 1.5 to about 15.0.

14. The mild body wash composition of claim 1, wherein said composition comprises a structured domain wherein said structured domain is an opaque structured domain.

15. The mild body wash composition of claim 14, wherein said opaque structured domain is a lamellar phase.

16. The mild body wash composition of claim 1, further comprising an electrolyte.

17. The mild body wash composition of claim 1, wherein said composition is substantially free of an alkyl amines and an alkanolamides.

18. The mild body wash composition of claim 1, wherein said composition additionally comprises a benefit component selected from the group consisting of lipids, hydrocarbons, fats, oils, hydrophobic plant extracts, fatty acids, essential oils, silicone materials, vitamins and derivatives thereof;

sunscreens;

preservatives;

anti-acne medicaments;

antioxidants;

chelators and sequestrants;

essential oils, skin sensates, and mixtures thereof.

19. The mild body wash of claim 1, further comprising a particle;

wherein said particle is selected from the group consisting of natural, synthetic, semi-synthetic, hybrid and combinations thereof.

27. A method of delivering skin benefits to skin or hair, said method comprising the steps of:

a) dispensing an effective amount of a mild body wash composition according to claim 1 onto an implement selected from the group consisting of a cleansing puff, washcloth, sponge, and human hand;

b) topically applying said composition to said skin or hair using said implement; and

c) removing said composition from said skin or hair by rinsing said skin or hair with water.

20. A mild body wash composition comprising a surfactant component comprising a surfactant or a mixture of surfactants;

wherein said composition comprises an opaque structured domain;

wherein said opaque structured domain is lamellar phase;

wherein said mild body wash composition has a Structured Domain Volume Ratio of at least about 70%; and

wherein said surfactant component provides a Total Lather Volume of at least about 600 ml.

21. The mild body wash composition of claim 20, wherein said surfactant is selected from the group consisting of an anionic surfactant, an nonionic surfactant, an zwitterionic surfactant, an cationic surfactant, an amphoteric surfactant, soap, and mixtures thereof.

22. The mild body wash composition of claim 21, wherein said nonionic surfactant has an HLB of from about 3.4 to about 5.0.

23. The mild body wash of claim 20, further comprising a particle;

wherein said particle is selected from the group consisting of natural, synthetic, semi-synthetic, hybrid, and combinations thereof.

24. The mild body wash composition of claim 20, wherein said composition additionally comprises a benefit component selected from the group consisting of lipids, hydrocarbons, fats, oils, hydrophobic plant extracts, fatty acids, essential oils, silicone materials;

vitamins and derivatives thereof;

sunscreens;
