Patent ID: 8147813

Claim:
A detergent cosmetic composition, comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable aqueous medium: (A) at least one sulfate or sulfonate anionic surfactant; (B) at least one carboxylic anionic surfactant other than the surfactant of (A), chosen from polyoxyalkylenated (C 6 -C 24 )alkyl ether carboxylic acids, polyoxyalkylenated (C 6 -C 24 )alkylaryl ether carboxylic acids and salts thereof, and polyoxyalkylenated (C 6 -C 24 )alkylamido ether carboxylic acids and salts thereof; (C) at least one amphoteric and/or zwitterionic surfactant, and (D) at least one water-insoluble carboxylic acid ester chosen from esters of a C 3 -C 30 carboxylic acid and of a C 1 -C 30 alcohol, with at least the acid or the alcohol being branched, wherein the total carbon number of the at least one water-insoluble carboxylic acid ester ranges from 12 to 50; wherein the at least one sulfate or sulfonate anionic surfactant is present in an amount ranging from 5% to 25% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, wherein the at least one carboxylic anionic surfactant is present in an amount ranging from 0.5% to 15% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, wherein the at least one amphoteric and/or zwitterionic surfactant is present in an amount ranging from 0.1% to 20% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, wherein the at least one water-insoluble carboxylic acid ester is present in an amount ranging from 0.5% to 10% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, and further wherein the weight ratio of the at least one sulfate or sulfonate anionic surfactant to the at least one carboxylic anionic surfactant ranges from 4 to 10.
