Abstract

The invention relates to skin cleansers/hand cleaners, particularly coarse hand cleaners, containing at least 0.1 wt. % of at least one hydrophilic emollient having an HLB value of ≧10. Said skin cleansers/hand cleaners especially contain, relative to the entire composition of the cleanser/cleaner, a.) at least 0.1 wt. % of at least one hydrophilic emollient, preferably a polyol ester, b.) 2 to 40 wt. % of at least one surfactant selected from among the group comprising fatty alcohol ethoxylates, fatty alcohol ether sulfates, and salts of sulfated and/or sulfonated fatty acids, c.) 30 to 90 wt. % of water, d.) 0 to 30 wt. % of one or more cleaning promoters selected from among the group comprising polyols, polyether, polyphosphates, and phosphates, e.) 0 to 30 wt. % of one or more abrasive agents, f.) 0 to 1.0 wt. % of propoxylated fatty alcohols, g.) one or more optional viscosity-forming agents, h.) other optional cosmetic auxiliary agents, additives, and/or active substances, the total of components a.) to h.) amounting to 100 wt. %.

Claims (37)

1. A composition comprising:

(a) at least 0.1% by weight of at least one polyol ester as the hydrophilic emollient with an HLB value of >10,

(b) 2 to 40% by weight of at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting of fatty alcohol ethoxylates, fatty alcohol ether sulphates, and salts of sulphated and/or sulphonated fatty acids,

(c) 30 to 90% by weight of water,

(d) 0 to 30% by weight of one or more cleaning boosters selected from the group consisting of polyols, polyethers, polyphosphates and phosphates,

(e) 0 to 30% by weight of one or more abrasives,

(f) 0 to 1.0% by weight of propoxylated fatty alcohols,

(g) optionally one or more viscosity-forming agents, and

(h) optionally further cosmetic auxiliaries, additives and/or active ingredients, the sum of components (a) to (h) being 100% by weight, wherein polyglyceryl-3 caprate is used as component (a) and PPG-11 stearyl ether is present as component (f); or wherein sucrose cocoate is used as component (a).

2. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein component (b) is at least one fatty alcohol ethoxylate of general formula:

R—O—(CH 2 —CH 2 —O) n H

where

R =a saturated, unsaturated, branched or unbranched alkyl radical, and

n =an integer from 1 to 11.

3. The composition according to claim 1 that contains 5 to 25% by weight of one or more abrasives as component (e).

4. The composition according to claim 2 that contains 5 to 20% by weight of one or more abrasives as component (e).

5. A cleaner for removing soiling from skin or hands comprising the composition of claim 1 .

6. A method for removing soiling from the skin comprising contacting soiled skin with the composition of claim 1 .

7. The method of claim 6 that comprises removing soiling from hands.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein said soiling is selected from the group consisting of paint, fat, oil, a lubricant, metal dust, graphite and soot.

9. A composition comprising:

(a) 0.3 to 3% by weight of at least one polyol ester with an HLB value of ≧10, which is a sucrose ester, polyglyceryl-3 caprate or polyglyceryl-4 caprate;

(b) 5% to 10% by weight of a fatty acid ethoxylate;

(c) 45% to 75% by weight of water;

(d) more than 0 and up to 30% by weight of a cleaning booster which is a polyphosphate and/or a polyether formed from the polymerization of 3 to 20 units of ethylene glycol;

(e) 5 to 20% by weight of one or more abrasives selected from the group consisting of a polyethylene abrasive, a polyurethane abrasive, a natural kernel flour or powder, and a natural shell flour or powder;

(f) 0 to 1.0% by weight of propoxylated fatty alcohols,

(g) optionally one or more viscosity-forming agents, and

(h) optionally further cosmetic auxiliaries, additives and/or active ingredients, the sum of components (a) to (h) being 100% by weight.

10. The composition of claim 9 , wherein (a) is a sucrose ester.

11. The composition of claim 9 , wherein (a) is sucrose cocoate.

12. The composition of claim 9 , wherein (a) is polyglyceryl-3 caprate.

13. The composition of claim 9 , wherein (a) is polyglyceryl-4 caprate.

14. The composition of claim 9 , wherein (a) is 0.1% to 3% by weight polyglyceryl-3 caprate, (b) is 5% to 10% by weight laureth-6, (d) is sodium tripolyphosphate, (e) is walnut shell powder, (f) is 0.1% to 0.7% by weight of PPG-11stearyl ether, and (h) is 1% to 4% PEG-4 rapeseed amide.

15. The composition of claim 9 , wherein (a) is 0.1% to 3% by weight sucrose cocoate, (b) is 5% to 10% by weight laureth-6, (d) is sodium tripolyphosphate, and (e) is walnut shell powder, and (h) is 1% to 4% PEG-4 rapeseed amide.

16. The composition of claim 1 , wherein polyglyceryl-3 caprate is used as component (a) and PPG-11 stearyl ether is present as component (f).

17. The composition of claim 1 , wherein (a) is 0.1% to 3% by weight polyglyceryl-3 caprate, (b) is 5% to 10% by weight laureth-6, (d) is sodium tripolyphosphate, (e) is walnut shell powder, (f) is 0.1% to 0.7% by weight of PPG-11 stearyl ether, and (h) is 1% to 4% PEG-4 rapeseed amide.
