Aqueous surface-active formulation including polypropylene glycol(3) myristyl ether
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to the use of polypropylene glycol(3) myristyl ether as preferably the sole viscosity regulator, care active ingredient and solubilizer in aqueous surface-active formulations, preferably having a water content of at least 75% by weight. The present invention further provides aqueous surface-active formulations comprising at least 0.5% by weight, preferably at least 2% by weight, of polypropylene glycol(3) myristyl ether, at least 5% by weight, preferably at least 10% by weight, of at least one surfactant and at least 75% by weight, preferably at least 85% by weight, of water and liquid body cleansing compositions, in particular shower baths and hair shampoos, comprising such an aqueous surface-active formulation.
1. An aqueous surface-active formulation comprising:
a) at least 5% by weight of at least one surfactant selected from sodium lauryl ether sulfate, cocamidopropylbetaine and combinations thereof;
b) at least 0.5% by weight of polypropylene glycol(3) myristyl ether; and
c) at least 75% by weight of water.
2. The aqueous surface-active formulation according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one surfactant is present in an amount of at least 10% by weight, said polypropylene glycol(3) myristyl ether is present in an amount of at least 2% by weight, and said water is present in an amount of at least 85% by weight.
3. An aqueous surface-active formulation consisting of:
a) at least 5% by weight of at least one surfactant;
b) at least 0.5% by weight of polypropylene glycol(3) myristyl ether; and
c) at least 75% by weight of water.
4. The aqueous surface-active formulation according to claim 3 , wherein said at least one surfactant is present in art amount of at least 10% by weight, said polypropylene glycol(3) myristyl ether is present in an amount of at least 2% by weight, and said water is present in an amount of at least 85% by weight.
5. The aqueous surface-active formulation according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one surfactant is selected from sodium lauryl ether sulfate, cocamidopropylbetaine and combinations thereof.
6. A liquid body cleansing composition comprising an aqueous surface-active formulation according to claim 1 .
7. The liquid body cleansing composition according to claim 6 , wherein the body cleansing composition is a shower bath.
8. The liquid body cleansing composition according to claim 6 , characterized in that the body cleansing composition is a hair shampoo.
