ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to detergent compositions which have excellent foam performance, give users a pleasant feeling upon use and bring about a sufficient conditioning effect on the skin and hair.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In order to prevent hair creakiness during rinsing and hair crispness after drying, various conditioning components are incorporated into hair detergent compositions containing various kinds of surfactants. When the conditioning components are used in combination, however, foaming performance such as foaming power, foam quality and foaming stability may be deteriorated in some cases.
On the other hand, conditioning components such as an oily substance may be incorporated even in other detergent compositions than the hair detergent compositions for the purpose of improving a feeling upon use to the skin. Even in this case, however, there has been a problem that foaming power, foam quality and the like are deteriorated like the above.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide a detergent composition which gives users a pleasant feeling upon use and brings about a sufficient conditioning effect on the skin and hair without impairing foaming power and foaming performance.
The present inventors have found that when a surfactant, a conditioning component and a specific monoglyceryl ether are used in combination, a detergent composition which has excellent foaming power and foaming performance, gives users a pleasant feeling upon use and brings about a sufficient conditioning effect on the skin and hair can be provided.
According to the present invention, there is thus provided a detergent composition comprising the following components (A), (B) and (C):
(A) 0.5 to 60% by weight of a surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants and amphoteric surfactants;
(B) 0.01 to 2% by weight of a conditioning component; and
(C) 0.1 to 30% by weight of a monoglyceryl ether having a linear or branched alkyl or alkenyl group having 4 to 12 carbon atoms.
The detergent composition according to the present invention is excellent in foaming performance such as foaming power and foam quality, gives users a pleasant feeling upon use and brings about a sufficient conditioning effect on the skin and hair.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood from the preferred embodiments of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in detail, and from the appended claims.
