Patent ID: 7666443

Claim:
Composition for enhancing post wash hydration comprising: (1) surfactant system comprising a combination of anionic surfactant having HLB>20 and amphoteric amphiphile having HLB >20, wherein the anionic surfactant is an alkyl glycinate and the amphoteric amphiphile is an alkyl amphoacetate; (2) a moisturization additive having HLB greater than 2 and less than 13 selected from the group consisting of fatty acid esters of sugar derivatives; alkoxylated triglyceride oils; alkyl dimethicone and mixtures thereof; and (3) solvent, wherein the concentration of surfactant(s) and of additive or additives of (2) is such that combined HLB is greater than 6 and less than 16; wherein said additive(s) form a particle dispersion with particles ranging in size from 0.05 to 1.0 micron wherein, after applying particle dispersion compositions to skin, there are obtained hydration values >27.
