Skin-care compositions
View Patent ↗In certain embodiments provided are composition suitable for cleansing or treating the skin, the composition comprising: (i) at least 90% water; (ii) a non-ionic surfactant; (iii) one or more hydrophobic emollients present in a concentration from about 200 parts per million (ppm) to about 4000 ppm, and wherein the composition has a ratio of total surfactant concentration to total hydrophobic emollient concentration that is from about 0.5 to about 2.5. In other embodiments, provided are articles comprising a water-insoluble absorbent substrate and a composition comprising a polyol polyhydroxystearate or a water-soluble glyceryl polyacrylate impregnated therein.
1. An article comprising a water-insoluble absorbent substrate wherein the substrate is at least one sheet of non-woven fabric and a composition impregnated therein wherein said composition comprises:
(i) from about 97% to 99% water;
(ii) a glyceryl polyacrylate in a concentration from about 25 ppm to about 5000 ppm;
(iii) a non-ionic surfactant that is a C 8 -C 20 alkyl glucoside;
(iv) one or more hydrophobic emollients that are C 12 -C 30 mono- or diglycerides present in a concentration from about 200 ppm to about 4000 ppm, and wherein the composition has a ratio of total surfactant concentration to total hydrophobic emollient concentration that is from about 0.5 to about 2.5.
2. The article of claim 1 , wherein the composition is substantially free of anionic surfactants.
3. The article of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises a polyol humectant.
4. The article of claim 1 , wherein the composition is impregnated onto said nonwoven fabric to a weight percentage of from about 100% to about 400% relative to the nonwoven fabric.
