Description

Skin cleanser composition

The present invention relates to a skin cleanser composition.

In recent years, body cleansing agents are required to be gentle on the skin. In particular, with regard to foam during washing, some consumers think that continuing to wash with friction with rough, non-elastic foam will cause skin problems such as dry skin, spots and wrinkles. Along with the increase, there is a need for a detergent that can provide more elastic foam.

One type of cleaning agent that is thought to produce elastic foam is a paste-like cleaning agent in which fatty acids are crystallized. Patent Document 1 discloses a combination of a fatty acid and a cationic polymer.

Moreover, in order to give elasticity to the foam, a combination of an anionic surfactant and a specific nonionic surfactant to strengthen the foam film (Patent Document 2), a specific fatty acid salt and another surfactant are combined. Thus, attempts have been made to form a homogeneous and creamy foam (Patent Document 3).
