Abstract
Abstract Liquid fiber-treating and skin-treating compositions include surfactant, water insoluble treating material, water and lor chain alcohol or derivative thereof, which stabilizes the liquid so as to allow storage at elevated temperatures, such as those which can be reached during storage in warmer climates, and which also helps to make fiber- and skin-treating materials more substantive to fibers and skin. Among the various types of compositions benefited are shampoos, perfuming shampoos, hair conditioning compositions, hair setting compositions, anti-dandruff preparations, fabric softening compositions, antistatic compositions, detergents, skin cleansers, skin lotions and sunscreens.
