Abstract
Abstract Foaming cosmetic compositions for cleansing the hair or the skin, containing, in proportions from 0.5 to 95%, a surfactant oligomer of formula (I): <IMAGE> (I) in which: R denotes a C10-C18 hydrocarbon radical; R1 and R2, which may be identical or different, denote H or CH3; &upbar& n denotes an average statistical value from 10 to 35; &upbar& m denotes zero or an average statistical value </=5; &upbar& m/ &upbar& n preferably being </=0.25 M denotes H, Na, K or an ammonium group. These compositions are characterized by good foaming power, good compatibility with the skin and the ocular mucosae and a suitable detergent power.
