Mild cleanser and conditioner to yield soft smooth skin
First Claim
1. A liquid skin cleanser and conditioner composition consisting essentially of a major amount of about 84-98% by weight of water, about 0.25-6% by weight of a nonionic surfactant as the sole surfactant, about 0.05-5% by weight of an organic acid having a pKa from 4.5-6.5, said composition adjusted to have a pH of 4.5-6.5, whereby said composition is effective in reducing the deposition of soap and surfactant residue on the skin prior to such skin being washed with a soap or surfactant containing material or in removing soap and surfactant residue from skin after such skin has been washed with a soap or surfactant containing material and simultaneously conditions the skin to feel soft, smooth and moisturized.

Abstract
A skin cleanser and conditioner composition and particularly a facial rinse that removes soap and surfactant residue from the skin and thereby prevents irritation caused by the deposition of soaps and surfactants thereon, consisting of low levels of a nonionic surfactant, low levels of an organic acid such as citric acid/sodium citrate, and a major amount of water, which composition may be in the form of a liquid or gel.

17. A clear liquid skin cleanser and conditioner composition that reduces the deposition of soap and surfactant on the skin, removes soap and surfactant residue previously deposited on the skin, and simultaneously conditions the skin to feel soft, smooth and moisturized, said composition consisting essentially of major amount of about 84-98% by weight of water, about 0.25%-6% by weight of a nonionic surfactant as the sole surfactant, about 0.05%-5% by weight of a monovalent cation salt of an organic acid having a pKa from 4.5-6.5 or a mixture of said acid and said salt, said composition having a pH of 4.5-6.5 and about 0.1-4% by weight of a thickening agent selected from the group consisting of a diester of stearic acid and polyoxyethylene and a polyacrylic acid.
- 29. A clear liquid skin cleanser and conditioner composition that reduces the deposition of soap and surfactant on the skin, removes soap and surfactant residue previously deposited on the skin, and simultaneously conditions the skin to feel soft, smooth and moisturized, said composition consisting essentially of a major amount of about 84-98% by weight of water, about 0.25%-6% by weight of a nonionic surfactant as the sole surfactant, about 0.05-5% by weight of a monovalent cation salt of an organic acid having a pKa from 4.5-6.5 or a mixture of said salt and an organic acid having a pKa of from 405-6.5, said composition having a pH of 4.5-6.5.
