Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to cosmetic cleaning agents containing surface-active betaines of the formula. ##STR1## wherein R 1 and R 2 are aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals having 1 to 18 carbon atoms and/or hydrogen and the sum of the carbon atoms in R 1 and R 2 is 9 to 18; R 3 and R 4 are the same or different and are lower alkyl or alkylol groups having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, x is an integer of 2 to 4, y is either 0 or 1, and z is an integer of 1 to 4; as well as their application as cleaning agents, for example, in hair washing and bathing preparations.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim
130 words
A cosmetic cleaning agent, comprising an acid neutralized derivative of a surface-active betaine of the formula ##STR11## wherein R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and are alkyl radicals of 1 to 18 carbon atoms, provided that the sum of the number of carbon atoms of R 1 and R 2 is 9 to 18; R 3 and R 4 are the same or different and are lower alkyl or alkylol groups of 1 to 4 carbon atoms; x is an integer of from 2 to 4; y is 1; and z is an integer of from 1 to 4; and an anionic surfactant in a quantity of from 5 to 30 percent by weight, relative to the total weight of the agent; and a carrier therefor.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
130 words
A cosmetic cleaning agent, comprising an acid neutralized derivative of a surface-active betaine of the formula ##STR11## wherein R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and are alkyl radicals of 1 to 18 carbon atoms, provided that the sum of the number of carbon atoms of R 1 and R 2 is 9 to 18; R 3 and R 4 are the same or different and are lower alkyl or alkylol groups of 1 to 4 carbon atoms; x is an integer of from 2 to 4; y is 1; and z is an integer of from 1 to 4; and an anionic surfactant in a quantity of from 5 to 30 percent by weight, relative to the total weight of the agent; and a carrier therefor.
