Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
187 words
A foaming and conditioning composition providing suds and a layer of emollient oil upon addition to water consisting essentially of a mutually, insoluble mixture of a water-soluble foaming organic detergent and a water-insoluble oily material having skin-softening or emollient properties, neither the detergent nor the oily material being soluble in the other in an amount greater than about 0.1% by weight of the solvent material, the composition being substantially anhydrous, the viscosity of the composition being less than 500 centipoises, and the organic detergent being present at a level of from about 10% to about 60% by weight of the composition, being in the form of finely divided particles containing at least 50% by weight of an organic surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic, nonionic, cationic, zwitterionic and amphoteric surfactants, and having a moisture content of less than 5% by weight, at least 90% of said particles being of a size to pass a 100 mesh screen and at least 50% of said particles being of a size to pass a 200 mesh screen, and said particles having a bulk density of at least 0.4.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
