AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The addition of the zinc oxide particulates does not incur a detriment to grease cleaning efficacy of the liquid cleaning composition nor to the foaming properties of the finished product. The skin irritation potential of the finished is highly improved by the presence of the zinc oxide suspension in the product.
As compared to the same product without zinc oxide, the zinc oxide-containing product induces much less erythematous reaction and skin barrier alteration when the products are in contact with the skin for a long period. Benefits in terms of less skin drying and better respect of skin surface hydration are also expected when adding nanoparticles of zinc oxide in the product. Similar anti-irritant effects are also expected in any type of surfactant-based product.
One object of this invention is to provide a cleaning composition which exhibits decreased skin irritation potential.

Problems solved by technology

No prior art related to the use of zinc oxide suspensions in surfactant-based products to decrease the irritation potential of the anionic surfactant have been found.

Abstract

A cleaning composition for all purpose cleaners, light duty liquids, shampoos, foam baths, liquid hand soaps, fine fabric detergents, liquid skin cleansing products, dishware paste, dishware bars and shower gels which include at least one surfactant, zinc oxide having a particle size of 10 to 30 nm, and water.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION This invention relates to the use of a zinc oxide suspension in a surfactant-based product to reduce its skin irritation potential and optimize its compatibility with the skin. The surfactant-based product may be a hand dishwashing liquid, a liquid skin cleanser, a shower gel, a bath foam, a shampoo, liquid skin cleansing products, hand liquid soaps, a fine fabric detergent, or any type of cleaning or cleansing product based on surfactants. The particularity of the zinc oxide suspension to decrease the skin irritation potential is to be highly effective even in already optimized surfactant-based product containing other types of counter-irritants such as amphoteric or nonionic secondary surfactants. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the use of zinc oxide particles in a shower gel, a bath foam, a shampoo, a liquid skin cleansing product, hand liquid soaps, a fine fabric detergent, light duty liquid detergent compositions with high foami...
