FIELD OF INVENTION
[001] The present disclosure relates to a cleansing composition in general and in
particular to a surfactant based cleansing composition with improved rinseability,
foaming, and sensorials. There is provided a cleansing composition and a process for
5 preparation of the aforementioned composition.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[002] Personal cleansing products are widely used to maintain a required level of hygiene. Soaps, shower gels, body washes, face washes, and hand washes, are the different forms of personal cleansing products. Cleansing compositions which
10 provide copious foam and better rinseability, without causing irritation and imparting
dryness to the skin, are more preferred by the consumers. All of these products attain their cleansing effect either through soaps or surfactants. Surfactant based products are getting more popular over the soap based products owing to the fact that soap based formulations, although give quick rinse feel on skin, are known to cause skin
15 dryness and irritation. Also, the soap based products generally have a high pH
(around 9.5-10.5), which can affect the natural pH balance of skin and can cause irritation.
[003] On the contrary, surfactant based cleansing formulations are milder on skin. Though more popular than the soap-based cleansing compositions for reasons
20 mentioned above, the existing surfactant based cleansing compositions suffer from
others problems like poor rinseability, less foam generation, and unsatisfactory sensorials. For instance, products containing SLES (most commonly used anionic surfactant) are often found to be harsh on skin, and have rinseability issues. Another frequently used surfactant in liquid cleansing products is sodium cocoyl isethionate
25 (SCI). Even in case of SCI containing compositions, soap like rinseability has not
been achieved. Also, sustainability of products comprising SLES or SCI is an issue, as both of these are petroleum based.

[004] In view of the limitations in the existing soap and surfactant based cleansing
compositions, there is an unmet need to have a cleansing composition which is
surfactant based cleansing composition which will not pose problems with respect to
the natural pH balance of skin, and which meets the desired foaming and rinseability
5 expectations, along with low or no irritation to the skin.

[0072] The disclosure will now be illustrated with working examples, which is
intended to illustrate the working of disclosure and not intended to take restrictively
to imply any limitations on the scope of the present disclosure. Unless defined
otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as
5 commonly understood to one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure
belongs. Although methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described
herein can be used in the practice of the disclosed methods and compositions, the
exemplary methods, devices and materials are described herein. It is to be understood
that this disclosure is not limited to particular methods, and experimental conditions
10 described, as such methods and conditions may vary.
Example 1
General process for preparation of cleansing composition
[0073] . The cleansing composition was prepared as follows: cocamide
monoethanolamine, ethylene glycol distearate, and triclosan were mixed with water
15 and heated at a temperature in the range of 65-70°C with a stirring speed in the range
of 50-200 rpm to obtain first mixture. To the first mixture sodium lauryl ether
sulphate was added at a temperature in the range of 65-70°C with a stirring speed in
the range of 50-200 rpm for a period in the range of 10-50 minutes to obtain second
mixture. Further, to the second mixture disodium laureth sulfosuccinate was added at
20 a temperature in the range of 65-70°C with a stirring speed in the range 30-100 rpm
to obtain third mixture. To the third mixture sodium lauroyl sarcosinate was added at
a temperature in the range of 65-70°C with a stirring speed in the range 30-100 rpm
to obtain fourth mixture Furthermore, cocamidopropyl betaine was added to fourth
mixture at a temperature in the range 55-60°C with a stirring speed in the range of 30-
25 100 rpm and stirred for a period in the range of 10-50 minutes to obtain a fifth
mixture. Finally PEG 400, glycerin, fragrance, active and colour were added to fifth
mixture at a temperature in the range of 35-60°C with a stirring speed in the range of
45

25-50 rpm for a period in the range of 5-30 minutes to obtain a cleansing composition.
Example 2
Evaluation of various compositions:
5 [0074] Surfactant based cleansing compositions possess problems related to poor
rinseability, less foam generation and sensorials It is a common practice to blend anionic surfactant together with small amounts of amphoteric and non-ionic surfactants to produce synergistic enhancement of foaming and mildness. But with the above mentioned blend the rinseablity issues of the cleansing compositions are
10 not met. Therefore, with the objective of achieving a cleansing composition along
with good foaming, foam stability, good rinseability, mild to skin, and no post wash dryness experimentations were carried out to obtain various compositions. [0075] Table 1 depicts examples of the cleansing compositions (Composition A-I) wherein both essential and optional ingredients are combined. The cleansing
15 compositions were obtained by following the process as mentioned in Example 1.
[0076] All the compositions were then evaluated for hand wash foaming, rinseability, and post-wash dryness by human expert panel. Panelists were asked to assess the aforementioned characteristics during and after the washing procedure on a scale of 1 to 10. The procedure is mentioned below.
20 [0077] The average value of ten panelists was considered for comparison between
the formulations. All working examples and non-working examples (related to rinseability) were evaluated by minimum of 10 panelists. Panelists were asked to rate the product on different sensorial attributes on a scale of 1 to 10 while 10 being highest and 1 being lowest. Evaluation was done before use, in-use and post-use on
25 appearance, spreadability, lather amount, type of lather and rinseability as well as
post-use sensorials such as skin moisturization, skin softness and smoothness. Post-use sensorial feedback was collected immediately after washing as well as 10 minutes after washing on the skin moisturization, skin softness and smoothness. The cleansing formulation indicated good lather, rinseability, more moisturization and skin
46

smoothness and softness, as the average score rated by panelist for lather amount, rinseability, skin moisturization and skin softness and smoothness was consistently high across the panel, i.e., an average score of 9 was provided.
[0078] The observation of the panelists for the composition of Table 1 (compositions
5 A-I) was that the rinseability of the cleansing composition were good, no post was
dryness was perceived by panelists, and the amount of foam and foam stability was also good.

[0079] Thus, based on the results of panel data, it can be concluded that desired
results with respect to cleansing composition were achieved when a blend of
surfactants was used comprising anionic, amphoteric, and non-ionic surfactant,
5 exemplified by composition A. Thus, the combination of specific surfactants in the
specific proportions led to the formation of cleansing composition with desired properties. Substantially similar results were obtained with the compositions B-composition I comprising of essential (combination of anionic, amphoteric, and non-ionic surfactants) and optional ingredients.
10 Example 3
Effect of the absence of Di-sodium laureth sulfosuccinate, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate and PEG 40 hydrogenated castor oil on the cleansing composition:
[0080] The cleansing compositions were reproduced with minor modifications in the
weight percentages of the ingredients, absence of essential ingredients di-sodium
15 laureth sulfosuccinate, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate and PEG 40 hydrogenated castor
oil and addition of an alternative non-ionic surfactant CMEA in place of PEG 40 hydrogenated castor oil, to determine the criticality of the combination of specific
48

surfactant system of the instant disclosure. Compositions J-M are tabulated in Table 2.
[0081] Compositions J- M were subjected to a group of panel similarly as mentioned
in Example 2 and based on the observation, inference drawn was that the
5 compositions exhibited less foam, poor rinse-off, stringiness, and dryness.

Effect of replacing the non-ionic surfactant and addition of rheology modifier:
[0082] Slight changes in the weight percentages of the ingredients of the
compositions as mentioned in Table 2 were made, along with addition of rheology
modifier, (sodium chloride) with an intention to build up desired viscosity. The
5 achieved compositions (Composition N-composition T) are tabulated in Table 3. In a
similar manner as discussed in example 2 these compositions were also subjected to a
group of panel to assess the properties of the cleansing composition. The
compositions were found to be water like have less foam, poor rinseablity and
additionally post wash dryness was also observed.
10 [0083] Even replacing PEG 40 hydrogenated castor oil with non-ionic surfactant
PEG 7 glyceryl cocoate did not help in improving the desired properties.

Example 5
Effect of absence of di-sodium laureth sulfosuccinate, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate
and presence of PEG 40 Hydrogenated castor oil on the composition:
5 [0084] Table 4 depicts the compositions (Compositions U-Composition Y) which
were prepared excluding the essential anionic surfactants, whereas the non-ionic
surfactant PEG 40 hydrogenated castor oil was maintained in the working range. The
inference drawn from the panel data was that the speed of foam formation and
amount of foam was less, rinseability was poor, and stringiness was observed.
10 [0085] With respect to composition Y all the essential ingredients, i.e., combination
of surfactants (absence of CAPB, di-sodium laureth sulfosuccinate, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil) was kept absent. The observation drawn was that the composition was very thin and was not further processable.

Example 6
Effect of absence of one of the essential ingredient on the composition (Table 5):
[0086] Composition Z, A1, B1, and C1, had absence of essential ingredient, SLES,
5 Di-sodium laureth sulfosuccinate, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, and CAPB
52

respectively. As a result, Composition Z with the absence of SLES was very thin
opaque liquid, with less foam. Though the rinseability was good but post-wash
dryness was observed. Even the viscosity didn’t build up with addition of rheology
modifier, sodium chloride. Composition A1 with the absence of Di-sodium laureth
5 sulfosuccinate resulted in an opaque viscous liquid, with less and airy foam.
Rinseability was poor along with slight post-wash dryness. Increase in viscosity was seen with an increase in sodium chloride concentration. Absence of sodium lauroyl sarcosinate in Composition B1, led to the formation of an opaque viscous liquid, with good creamy foam, poor rinseability, and slight post-wash dryness. A thin translucent
10 liquid with less airy foam, poor rinseability, and no post-wash dryness was obtained
when CAPB was kept absent (composition C1) in the composition. Increase in viscosity was not observed despite the increase in concentration of salt.
[0087] Keeping the anionic surfactants absent and having only CAPB and CMEA in the composition as exemplified by composition D1, very thin opaque liquid with less
15 and airy foam, poor rinseability, no post-wash dryness was observed.
[0088] With only one anionic surfactant (SLES; Composition E1) very thin opaque liquid with good creamy foam, very poor rinseability, and post-wash dryness was achieved. Viscosity also didn’t increase with increase in concentration of salt. [0089] Higher weight percentage of SLES and lower weight percentage of CAPB
20 along with the presence (Composition F1) and absence (Composition G1) of CMEA
resulted in a very thin opaque liquid. Without the presence of CAPB good creamy foam was obtained, whereas with the presence of CAPB, an average amount of less creamy foam was seen. Overall both the compositions F1, and G1 did not have desired properties.
