Abstract

The present invention provides compositions utilizing a zwitterionic ester ammonioalkanoate surfactant according to Formula 1 and an ingredient selected from the group consisting a surfactant other than said zwitterionic ester ammonioalkanoate surfactant, emulsifiers, conditioning agents, emollients, moisturizers, humectants, thickeners, lubricants, chelating agents, fillers, binding agents, anti-oxidants, preservatives, active ingredients, fragrances, dyes, buffering agents, exfoliates, pH adjusters, inorganic salts, solvents, viscosity controlling agents and opacifying agents, wherein the composition is substantially free of alkylamidoamine and aminoalkylamine.

Claims (15)

1. A composition comprising a zwitterionic ester ammonioalkanoate surfactant according to Formula 1,

and an ingredient selected from the group consisting of a surfactant other than said zwitterionic ester ammonioalkanoate surfactant, emulsifiers, conditioning agents, emollients, moisturizers, humectants, thickeners, lubricants, chelating agents, fillers, binding agents, anti-oxidants, preservatives, active ingredients, fragrances, dyes, buffering agents, exfoliates, pH adjusters, inorganic salts, solvents, viscosity controlling agents and opacifying agents, wherein said zwitterionic ester ammonioalkanoate surfactant according to Formula 1 comprises a zwitterionic ester ammonioalkanoate surfactant containing a heterocyclic group, and wherein said composition is substantially free of alkylamidoamine and aminoalkylamine.

2. The composition of claim 1 wherein said composition is free of alkylamidoamine and aminoalkylamine.

3. The composition of claim 1 wherein said surfactant other than said zwitterionic ester ammonioalkanoate surfactant according to Formula 1 is selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactant, cationic surfactant, non-ionic surfactant and zwitterionic surfactant.

4. The composition of claim 1 wherein said composition is substantially free of an anionic surfactant.

5. The composition of claim 1 wherein said composition is substantially free of a sulfated anionic surfactant.

6. The composition of claim 1 wherein said zwitterionic ester ammonioalkanoate surfactant according to Formula 1 comprises a zwitterionic ester ammonioalkanoate sulfonate surfactant.

7. The composition of claim 1 comprising from about 0.1% to about 30% of said zwitterionic ester ammonioalkanoate surfactant according to Formula 1.

8. The composition of claim 1 comprising from about 1% to about 10% of said zwitterionic ester ammonioalkanoate surfactant according to Formula 1.

9. The composition of claim 3 wherein said zwitterionic ester ammonioalkanoate surfactant according to Formula 1 and said surfactant other than said zwitterionic ester ammonioalkanoate surfactant according to Formula 1 are present at a weight ratio of from about 0.003 to about 300.

10. The composition of claim 3 wherein said zwitterionic ester ammonioalkanoate surfactant according to Formula 1 and said surfactant other than said zwitterionic ester ammonioalkanoate surfactant according to Formula 1 are present at a weight ratio of from about 0.1 to about 10.

11. The composition of claim 1 having a pH of from about 3 to about 9.

12. The composition of claim 1 comprising from about 0.05 to about 6 weight percent of said inorganic salt.

13. The composition of claim 1 wherein said composition is substantially free of a zwitterionic surfactant comprising an amide moiety.

14. The composition of claim 1 wherein said composition is free of a zwitterionic surfactant comprising an amide moiety.
