Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
77 words
An aqueous post-foaming gel composition which includes a water-soluble soap, a volatile post-foaming agent and a water-soluble polymer gelling agent, characterized by the composition also including an alkanolamide having the formula: wherein R₁ is selected from the group consisting of non-linear C₁₀-C₂₂ fatty alkyls, R₂ is H or a C₁-C₄ hydroxyalkyl and R₃ is a C₁-C₄ hydroxyalkyl provided that if R₁ is a linear C₁₀-C₂₂ fatty alkyl, then R₂ is H to enhance clarity and gel strength.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
77 words
An aqueous post-foaming gel composition which includes a water-soluble soap, a volatile post-foaming agent and a water-soluble polymer gelling agent, characterized by the composition also including an alkanolamide having the formula: wherein R₁ is selected from the group consisting of non-linear C₁₀-C₂₂ fatty alkyls, R₂ is H or a C₁-C₄ hydroxyalkyl and R₃ is a C₁-C₄ hydroxyalkyl provided that if R₁ is a linear C₁₀-C₂₂ fatty alkyl, then R₂ is H to enhance clarity and gel strength.
