First Claim
Patent Images
1. A moist wipe comprising:
- a stable wetting composition for the prevention of skin irritation, the stable wetting composition comprising;
disodium ethylene dicocamide PEG-15 disulfate;
a gum blend comprising a gum and propylene glycol alginate, wherein the amount of the gum blend is 0.01% to 0.5% by weight;
wherein the gum is selected from the group consisting of guar gum, gellan gum, acacia gum, cellulose gum, dehydroxanthan gum, sclerotium gum, locust bean gum and combinations thereof;
1% to 10% by weight silicone oil;
85% to 98% by weight water;
a salt containing monovalent and/or divalent ions; and
a dispersible substrate onto which the stable wetting composition has been applied;
wherein the amount of salt is that which is effective to preserve the wet strength of the dispersible substrate during storage;
wherein the viscosity of the stable wetting composition is less than 5000 centipoise; and
wherein the stable wetting composition maintains stability after at least one freeze-thaw cycle.
