Title: Bath oil composition
IPC: A61Q19/10
Filed: 1966-07-13
Abstract: A clear homogeneous non-aqueous bath-oil liquid composition comprises (a) from 20 to 80% by weight of an ester having a saturated aliphatic moiety of from 8 to 14 carbon atoms and an aliphatic carboxylic acid moiety of from 8 to 14 carbon atoms; (b) from 20 to 80% by weight of mineral or fatty oil; (c) from 0 to 30% by weight of an alcohol having from 2 to 10 carbon atoms per molecule; (d) from 0 to 10% by weight of an amide, monoethanolamide or diethanolamide of a fatty acid having an acyl moiety of from 8 to 18 carbon atoms; and (e) from 0 to 10% by weight of a nonionic surfactant other than said fatty acid amides, up to 15% by weight of the total ester or esters optionally being replaced by one or more esters of which the ester acid moiety contains from 4 to 7 or from 15 to 18 carbon atoms, the other moiety containing from 4 to 18 carbon atoms.  Optional additives include colour, perfume, silicone compounds, soap or other anionic surfactants, deodorants and antibacterial agents. Esters derived from natural sources, such as octyl octanoate, octyl dodecanoate and dodecyl dodecanoate, at a level of 40 to 75% by weight of the total composition are preferably used for (a).  The preferred oil (b) is light white mineral oil and for (c) saturated aliphatic alcohols having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms per molecule, such as ethanol, and aryl and alicyclic alcohols having from 5 to 10 carbon atoms per molecule, such as benzyl alcohol, are used. N,N-diethanol dodecanamide may be used for (d) and ethoxylated nonionic surfactants, such as polyethylene oxide condensates of alkylphenols, the condensation product of 1 mole of an aliphatic alcohol having from 8 to 18 carbon atoms with 3 to 50 moles of ethylene oxide, the condensate of ethylene oxide with the product resulting from the reaction of propylene oxide and ethylenediamine, fatty acid esters of polyoxyethylene sorbitan containing from 10 to 40 oxyethylene units per molecule and containing fatty acid groups having from 8 to 18 carbon atoms and long chain tertiary amine oxides may be used for (e).ALSO:A clear homogeneous non-aqueous bath-oil liquid composition comprises (a) from 20 to 80% by weight of at least one ester having a saturated aliphatic moiety of from 8 to 14 carbon atoms and an aliphatic carboxylic acid moiety of from 8 to 14 carbon atoms; (b) from 20 to 80% by weight of mineral or fatty oil; (c) from 0 to 30% by weight of an alcohol having from 2 to 10 carbon atoms per molecule; (d) from 0 to 10% by weight of an amide, monoethanolamide or diethanolamide of a fatty acid having an acyl moiety of from 8 to 18 carbon atoms; and (e) from 0 to 10% by weight of a nonionic surfactant other than said fatty acid amides, up to 15% by weight of the total ester or esters optionally being replaced by one or more esters of which the ester acid moiety contains from 4 to 7 or from 15 to 18 carbon atoms, the other moiety containing from 4 to 18 carbon atoms.
