Abstract:
A composition which imparts cleansing, conditioning and moisturization of the skin and hair and which exhibits a low degree of irritation to the eyes, comprising:a. a surfactant portion, comprising: 1. from about 1 to about 10 percent by weight of the overall composition of a nonionic surfactant; 2. from about 0.5 to about 10 percent by weight of the overall composition of an amphoteric surfactant; and 3. from about 1 to about 10 percent by weight of the overall composition of an anionic surfactant, â€ƒwherein the nonionic surfactant comprises one or more surfactants selected from: a. polyoxyethylene derivatives of polyol esters wherein 1. the polyoxyethylene derivative of polyol ester is derived from a polyol selected from sorbitol, sorbitan, glucose, &agr;-methyl glucoside, polyglucose having an average of about 1.1 to about 3 glucose residues, glycerine, pentaerythritol or mixtures thereof; 2. the polyoxyethylene derivative of polyol ester contains from about 10 to about 120 oxyethylene units; 3. the polyoxyethylene derivative of polyol ester is derived from a fatty acid containing from about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms; and 4. the polyoxyethylene derivative of polyol ester has from about 1 to about 2 fatty acid residues per molecule of polyoxyethylene derivative of polyol ester; b. an alkyl polyglucoside; or c. mixtures thereof; and b. a cationically charged polyol substantive humectant of the formula: wherein w+x+y+z=5 to 20, R is an alkyl or alkenyl group having about 6 to about 22 carbon atoms, R1, R2 and R3 are each independently lower alkyl having from about 1 to about 4 carbon atoms and wherein X is halide, carboxylate or alkyl sulfate, from about 0.01 to about 3.0 percent by weight of the overall composition.
